Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

It's worth noting that Hong Kong police began using undercover agents to infiltrate local triad members as early as the 1970s.

For a time, it even elevated the culture of undercover work to a sophisticated level.

Even among Hong Kong's triads, there's a consensus that the more successful a triad is, the more undercover agents it has.

It's gotten to the point where it's no longer surprising.

For example, Li Wenbin, Chen Jiajun's nephew, once worked for the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) and sent many undercover agents to infiltrate various triads.

This even includes Hung Hing, which has already been whitewashed.

However, this behavior was tacitly approved by Chen Jiajun.

Therefore, Chen Jiajun is a professional at dealing with undercover agents. Many of the undercover agents who joined Hung Hing simply resigned and turned to work for Hung Hing.

Chen Jiajun continued speaking to Ding Qing, "Your brother Li Zicheng might not be so determined to do anything to you. After all, everyone has a heart. Besides, he's been by your side for so many years and has never done anything to harm you, right?"

Ding Qing thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

If Li Zicheng really wanted to get rid of him, he should be in jail by now.

Because Li Zicheng is Ding Qing's right-hand man!
Ding Qing said with a troubled expression, "What can I do? My mind is a mess right now!"

"Why not just let Li Zicheng clear his name?" Chen Jiajun said casually.

"Wash it black?" Ding Qing's eyes widened immediately.

Chen Jiajun laughed and said, "That's right, it's about cleaning up the mess! Since you can't bear to lose this brother, and he doesn't want to mess with you either, then just let him abandon his wavering stance and stand with you!"

Ding Qing's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words: "Really?"

"Then we'll see if you have the tolerance for such people!" Chen Jiajun said calmly. "Anyway, I've had quite a few people like that under my command!"

Ding Qing took a deep breath and said, "Then what should I do?"

Chen Jiajun then had his subordinate bring out a document and said to Ding Qing, "This thing should be able to help you!"

Ding Qing took a look and immediately made a plan.

But just then, Ding Qing's phone suddenly rang.

As soon as the call connected, Ding Qing's expression changed drastically: "Damn it, what did you say? Explain yourself! You sons of bitches!"

After hanging up the phone, Ding Qing said to Chen Jiajun, "You're right, the police did indeed take action. They're trying to provoke a fight between me and Li Zhongjiu!"

Chen Jiajun sighed and said, "As expected, you're in trouble! You and that Li Zhongjiu are definitely going to fight."

"That guy Li Zhongjiu... he can't be that stupid as to fall for the police's trick, right?" Ding Qing was still a little unsure.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Have you heard of the prisoner's dilemma? You and Li Zhongjiu are in this situation now. If you say you didn't report it to the police, do you think Li Zhongjiu will believe you? As far as I know, you and Li Zhongjiu have never gotten along, right?"

"I still want to explain!" Ding Qing said to Chen Jiajun after a moment of silence.

"Suit yourself, but if you want to break this police trap, I'll give you a hint!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "Li Zicheng!"

"Hiss!" Ding Qing gasped in shock upon hearing this, looking at Chen Jiajun with a horrified expression.

……

In the afternoon, Ding Qing went to the police station and met with Li Zhongjiu in person.

Lee Jung-gu is currently in police custody, dressed in prison garb.

After a moment of silence, Ding Qing spoke up: "This time, it seems the police are very well prepared! They've gone to such lengths; they should be able to convict you, right?"

Li Zhongjiu smiled at Ding Qing: "Really? Then, who gave them those documents?"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ding Qing said innocently, "I'm not that kind of person! And I don't have that kind of top-level information!"

Ding Qing's power was already stronger than Li Zhongjiu's, and given his personality, he was indeed incapable of doing such a thing.

But Li Zhongjiu simply didn't believe it!

He sneered, "Really? Who was that? Ah! If it wasn't you, then it must be one of your men! Who else could it be! Your lackey, Li Zicheng? You despicable bastard, using such underhanded methods to stab me in the back, getting rid of me like this, and then swallowing up the group, is that it?"

“Hey, I said, Li Zhongjiu…” Ding Qing tried to explain again, feeling helpless.

But at this moment, Li Zhongjiu suddenly became enraged, slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Shut up, you bastard! Or I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Seeing how agitated the guy was, the guard immediately came over with his baton.

Li Zhongjiu could only suppress his anger and said to Ding Qing, "Don't let me hear you call my name again before I tear your filthy mouth apart! Also, we'll see, bring it on! Let's see who can laugh last!"

Seeing that Li Zhongjiu was uncommunicative, Ding Qing knew he was doomed.

Clearly, the police's plan has worked!

Ding Qing could only take a deep breath and stand up, saying to Li Zhongjiu, "Attorney Zhang has done his best. Please bear with me a little longer. I've made arrangements with everyone, so everything will be fine!"

Before Ding Qing could turn and leave, Li Zhongjiu called out to him, "President, you killed him too, didn't you?"

Ding Qing found it amusing: "Wasn't it you? If it wasn't you, it could have been a cop, or maybe..."

"What is it?"

"It was done by some random Tom, Dick, or Harry!"

Li Zhongjiu gave Ding Qing the middle finger and said, "You bastard, eat your fill! And Director Ding, you must... take care!"

Ding Qing immediately laughed, put on his sunglasses, and said, "You were worried about my safety inside, thank you so much! You idiot!"

After leaving the police station, Ding Qing approached Chief Jiang, the police officer in charge of the case.

According to Chen Jiajun's information, Ding Qing knew that this guy was very likely the one who would carry out this plan.

Ding Qing prepared some money, intending to test this guy, or rather, the police's movements.

On a sports field, they found Section Chief Jiang watching people train.

Ding Qing sat down directly and said, "Such a good mood?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling his men to bring over a box of mooncakes.

"This is a specialty I brought from China, called mooncakes!" Ding Qing said with a smile. "A small gift, just a token of my appreciation!"

"Food?" Section Chief Jiang opened the packaging directly, broke open the mooncake to reveal cash on one side, and said with a sneer, "This doesn't look like food!"

"It's very clean, so eat with confidence! There will be absolutely no problems!" Ding Qing said casually. "If it's not enough, you can pay in installments or monthly, you won't be disappointed. It's okay to pay some taxes occasionally! Let's handle our own problems internally from now on! You're getting too involved!"

Section Chief Jiang laughed and then threw the mooncake box out.

Ding Qing suddenly felt a headache coming on. He had his subordinate light a cigarette for him and asked, "What's wrong? Not satisfied with what the other side has to offer? I said I'd get you some more! How about I give you some of my group's shares now?"

"Hey, Ding Qing, what do you take me for?" Section Chief Jiang said calmly, "Take it! I don't take money from thugs!"

Ding Qing asked with a puzzled look, "Then why are you doing this? It's not like you're launching a full-scale attack to wipe us out. You must have some ulterior motive, which is why you came to me earlier, right?"

Section Chief Jiang spread his hands and said, "Why bother leveling it? Some other rascals will just snatch it away anyway, and then we'll have to start managing you all from scratch again. It's exhausting! I don't have any demands on you. Just assess the situation properly and obey my orders! Don't mess around like this!"

The current situation in South Korea is similar to that in Hong Kong.

Gangs are something that can't be completely eradicated in South Korea, so all they ask of you is that you obey them!
Ding Qing said unhappily, "So you're saying we have to be under the control of the police? Are we just hired workers for this damn police station?"

"You don't need to be so self-deprecating!" Section Chief Jiang laughed. "Let's just keep it at this level as a cooperative relationship!"

Hearing this, Ding Qing knew there was no need to say anything more.

Section Chief Jiang is very tight-lipped; you definitely won't get anything out of him by asking.

After having the money collected, they left immediately.

Back in the car, Ding Qing was irritated; things were more complicated than he had imagined.

It seems Chen Jiajun was right. The police planned to have him fight with Li Zhongjiu, and then put forward a compliant candidate to take over as the head of the Kinmen Group.

This situation is simply unsolvable for Ding Qing.

Unless he can harden his heart and take the initiative to eliminate Li Zhongjiu and uproot his power.

But doing so would definitely cripple the Kinmen Group. If the police were to launch a surprise attack, they would still be dead! Thinking of this, Ding Qing slammed his fist on the chair twice to vent his frustration.

But at that moment, his phone suddenly rang. When he picked it up, he saw that it was Li Zicheng calling.

Ding Qing suddenly remembered what Chen Jiajun had told him: Li Zicheng was the key to breaking this deadlock!
So Ding Qing composed himself and reverted to his usual goofy self: "Hey, damn it! Bro, where are you? I came back from Shanghai ahead of schedule with a surprise for you! You'll see soon enough. That's all, bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Ding Qing looked at her phone, her expression uncertain.

……

Meanwhile, inside the intelligence organization's safe house.

Chen Jiajun was playing chess with Lao E when an intelligence officer walked in and said to him, "Boss, Ding Qing just met with Li Zhongjiu, and it seems they parted on bad terms. Then he went to see Chief Jiang from the police station, but it seems they didn't reach an agreement there either!"

Chen Jiajun laughed: "I knew it! Now he has no other way to go!"

"But boss, we clearly have better options! Why not just let them fight it out? Why go through all this trouble?" the intelligence officer asked, puzzled.

Chen Jiajun smiled slightly and said, "How do you know that the target you chose before wasn't already being watched by the South Korean police?"

"Huh?" The intelligence officer was immediately stunned.

The old man chimed in, "Now there are three candidates, and the police have instigated a fight between the two most powerful ones. Who do you think is most likely to win?"

"That second-in-command, Zhang Shouji?" the intelligence officer asked uncertainly.

The old man chuckled and said, "Since you've thought of that, how could the South Korean police not? I'm afraid the police approached Jang Soo-ki for cooperation from the very beginning, and then instigated Jung Cheong and Lee Jung-gu to fight!"

Upon hearing the old man's explanation, the intelligence officer immediately understood and exclaimed in realization, "So that's it! No wonder the boss didn't choose Zhang Shouji! If we had actually gone after him, we would have been exposed!"

Chen Jiajun snapped at the intelligence officer, "You know that, so why aren't you doing your job!"

He then turned to look at his chessboard and said to Old Evil with displeasure, "Old Evil, did you cheat again?"

Old Evil said irritably, "Boss, you're a terrible chess player, don't wrong an innocent person!"

"No, this round doesn't count, you definitely cheated!" Chen Jiajun cheated by scrambling the chessboard and starting a new round.

……

Meanwhile, inside a fertilizer factory.

Ding Qing sat casually in the chair, waiting for his good brother Li Zicheng to arrive.

A moment later, a silver-gray car drove into the factory.

Lee Ja-sung and his men got out of the car.

Ding Qing greeted him with a smile, "You're here! You're a little late!"

Li Zicheng explained, "Because it was raining, and it was right around the time people were leaving get off work."

Ding Qing didn't continue talking about Li Zicheng, but instead cursed at Li Zicheng's subordinates: "Shi Wu, you bastard, I told you to buy a decent GPS device a long time ago. That would be punctual and convenient, you son of a bitch!"

Ding Qing remained as nonsensical as ever, laughing and cursing at the same time.

In any case, it's so that no one can tell that anything is wrong.

Li Zicheng asked Ding Qing curiously, "Why did you call me here at this time?"

Ding Qing's smile faded, and he said to his subordinates, "Let them come over!"

Soon a small truck loaded with gasoline drums drove in, and two men unloaded the drums from the truck.

Ding Qing smiled and said to Li Zicheng, "Want to see what's in the bucket?"

Li Zicheng immediately sensed something was wrong; his worst fears had come true.

Seeing Ding Qing light a cigarette without saying anything more, Li Zicheng could only walk over and lift the gasoline can.

He was startled when he opened the gasoline can; his heart began to pound.

The bucket contained the female police liaison who had been in contact with him.

However, the woman was covered in blood and was on the verge of death.

Ding Qing walked over and made a funny sound: "Your Go teacher, scared, huh? Nice face, and a damn good figure too! But bro, did you know? That girl's a cop!"

Lee Ja-sung froze completely, and after a moment he managed to say with difficulty, "I don't know, I...I don't know!"

Ding Qing didn't press further. Instead, he walked up to the gasoline can and said, "This is a really tough girl. No matter how much you beat her, she won't say who she's on! She's stronger than most men; she has guts!"

However, Ding Qing took a stack of documents from his subordinate and continued, "But even if she doesn't say it, I already know who she's on!"

Upon hearing Ding Qing's words, Li Zicheng felt his heart clench.

Ding Qing handed the document to Li Zicheng, then said with a smile, "This is intelligence that a friend of mine from China gave me. Take a look!"

With trembling hands, Li Zicheng took the documents and examined them carefully.

Ding Qing continued, "I was shocked too. It wasn't just this girl; there were police officers among our members!"

As he spoke, Ding Qing picked up a shovel, then put his arm around Li Zicheng's subordinate, saying, "This girl is right next to Chief Jiang from the police station. That's quite a surprise!"

As he spoke, he took off his clothes. Just as Shi Wu was about to pick them up, Ding Qing slapped him on the head with a shovel.

Li Zicheng's hands trembled even more violently, because the documents in his hands not only contained photos and information about the policewoman, but also photos and information about Shi Wu.

As an undercover agent, he only found out today that Section Chief Jiang had actually placed someone by his side.

Lee Ja-sung flipped to the last page of the document, but to his surprise, there was no information about him.

At this moment, Ding Qing shouted at Li Zicheng, laughing, "You little brat, are you scared out of your wits? I remember you're much more ruthless than me!"

As Ding Qing spoke, right in front of Li Zicheng, he grabbed Shi Wu and pulled him up, then slit Shi Wu's throat with a kukri: "These bastards have been playing you all along!"

"Isn't this the best reply for Section Chief Jiang?" After killing Shi Wu, Ding Qing wiped the blood from his face and said to Li Zicheng.

Then he said to his men, "Kill that girl too! Clean up this place and throw it into the sea along with this kid!"

Although it was a false alarm, Li Zicheng knew he had to do something now.

Otherwise, Ding Qing would definitely suspect him, so he took out a pistol from his subordinate's waist and fired several shots at the policewoman, killing her instantly.

Upon seeing Li Zicheng's performance, Ding Qing immediately smiled.

After instructing his men to dispose of the body, Ding Qing led Li Zicheng to the restroom and wiped the blood from his face.

Seeing Li Zicheng's panicked expression, Ding Qing remained silent for a moment before saying to him, "Don't you have anything to say to me, Officer Li Zicheng?"

Li Zicheng was immediately shocked; he had just thought he had escaped a disaster.

Unexpectedly, Ding Qing still doubted himself.

Before Li Zicheng could explain, Ding Qing roared, "You little bastard, you'd better shut your mouth! Before I lose my temper! You think your name isn't on this file? I fucking hid it for you, you little bastard!"

Upon hearing Ding Qing's words, Li Zicheng calmed down.

After a moment of silence, he said to Ding Qing, "Aren't you going to kill me?"

Ding Qing punched Li Zicheng in the face and said angrily, "If I wanted to kill you, would I need to tell you now? You bastard!"

Lee Ja-sung took a punch, wiped his mouth, and said with his head down, "I'm sorry, big brother!"

Ding Qing grabbed Li Zicheng by the collar and said viciously, "Do I need you to apologize? What I need to know now is, all these years, has this son of a bitch ever considered me his older brother?"

"I...don't know!" Li Zicheng managed to utter these words with great difficulty.

"Don't know?" Ding Qing stared intently at Li Zicheng and pressed, "What do you mean?"

Lee Ja-sung immediately broke down: "I have no idea what I'm doing! Damn it!"

Seeing Li Zicheng crying with his head in his hands, Ding Qing's expression was somewhat complicated.

After all, they were brothers for so many years, and he was the brother with whom he had the best relationship, who had saved his life more than once.

Ding Qing simply couldn't bring himself to kill someone like that. (End of Chapter)
