Hong Kong Film: Short mules have no future, I am in charge of Hong Kong

Chapter 191: An old acquaintance or a new friend?
"Then let's..."

"Have someone check the route of his goods." Kanta's eyes became sharp. "No matter how powerful Chen Hanwen is, he still has to rely on goods to support his business. Dig out the route his goods took and from whom they passed through. I want to see how long Chen Hanwen can remain so arrogant!"

The deputy nodded immediately and walked away quickly.

At the same time, in Xi Mihua's place, Chen Bing was reporting to Xi Mihua about the Donghuan Casino. Xi Mihua listened very carefully, but there was not much emotion on his face.

"Brother Hua, Han Wen slapped Kanta in the face this time, and the news has spread. Kanta has completely lost face." Chen Bing's tone was a little excited, "Can we take this opportunity to deploy more manpower in Donghuan?"

Xi Mihua put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Chen Bing: "Bingzi, do you think Han Wen dared to do this without considering Kanta's counterattack?"

"This..." Chen Bing was stunned.

"In the martial arts world, there are always more people who dare to take action than those who dare to think." Xi Mihua's tone was calm, but every word was as sharp as a knife. "Han Wen was able to take on Kanta's counterattack, which means he has already set up the game. If we move at this time, we will only get ourselves involved."

"Then we just keep watching?" Chen Bing was a little unwilling.

"Just watch how they fight." Xi Mihua narrowed his eyes slightly, "When they are both defeated, we will go and pick up the spoils."

At the Haojiang Wharf late at night, several inconspicuous trucks were parked on the shore. Chen Hanwen stood on a cargo ship, looking at the goods being loaded and unloaded, and said calmly: "Hurry up, this batch of goods must be shipped out to sea before dawn."

Xiaolong led his men to work nervously, not daring to be negligent. While giving orders, he turned back to look at Chen Hanwen and said, "Brother Hanwen, the people from Kanta have been keeping an eye on our cargo route recently. Do you want to change the route?"

"No need." Chen Hanwen waved his hand. "Changing the route will only make them think we are scared. Let's go as usual, but we have to keep a backup plan."

"Backhand?" Xiaolong asked doubtfully.

"Have someone prepare a few empty cars and take another route to deliberately reveal our whereabouts." Chen Hanwen smiled. "If Kanta wants to dig a road to us, let him dig a fake road."

Xiaolong suddenly realized and immediately went to make arrangements.

In the early hours of the morning, the cargo ship slowly left the dock and disappeared into the vast night. Chen Hanwen stood on the shore, watching the ship go away, and said softly: "Kanta, Kanta, how long can you endure? I'm really a little curious."

In the early morning, the cargo ship was carrying goods to the distant sea, leaving only a vague white mark on the water. Chen Hanwen stood at the dock, watching the ship disappear into the dark darkness of the sea and sky. He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and in the smoke, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Xiaolong ran over from not far away, a little nervous: "Brother Hanwen, the empty convoy has already set off. According to your plan, they will go around the southern ring road, just passing by the point that Kanta's people are watching."

"Very good." Chen Hanwen took a puff of his cigarette and flicked off the ash. "Arrange two more people to change their clothes, pretend to be the driver, and run with the car."

"But Brother Hanwen, if Kanta's people take action, will these two people be in danger?" Xiaolong seemed a little hesitant.

"It would be better if we take action." Chen Hanwen looked into the distance, "Kanta is eager to get some so-called evidence. I'll have someone bring a few boxes of fake goods, so that he can feel that he has found a treasure."

Xiaolong suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "Brother Hanwen, your trick of luring the snake out of its hole is really amazing!"

Chen Hanwen smiled without saying anything, his eyes showing shrewdness and calmness. He knew that the struggle in the underworld was never fought with fists, but with calculations.

At the same time, Kanta's place was brightly lit. He stood beside the sofa, his hands resting on the armrests, staring at the map on the table, his face gloomy. His deputy stood aside and said cautiously: "Sir, I just received news that Chen Hanwen's people have dispatched a batch of trucks and are heading towards the South Ring Road."

"Southern Ring?" Kanta frowned slightly, then sneered, "He really dares to go to the Southern Ring so brazenly. Does he think I dare not touch him?"

"Should we send someone to stop them?" the deputy asked tentatively.

Kanta pondered for a moment and nodded: "Let A Guang take people to intercept and bring all the goods back. No matter whether it is real or fake, we will hold it in our hands first, and Chen Hanwen will come looking for it naturally."

"Understood!" The deputy turned and hurried away.
-
On the South Ring Road, a team of trucks was driving quietly in the night. The headlights cast long beams of light in the darkness, and the mountains and forests on both sides looked gloomy and mysterious under the lights.

The driver of the car in front was humming a tune, tapping the steering wheel with his fingers: "Hey, the things that Brother Hanwen asked us to bring on this trip are too ordinary, they are really fishing baits."

The man in the passenger seat smiled and said, "What do you know? The more ordinary, the safer. Who would have thought that these broken boxes contained fakes? Besides, this is Brother Hanwen's plan. Just do it."

Before he finished speaking, a row of car lights suddenly appeared in the rearview mirror, accompanied by the roar of engines. Then, several black SUVs quickly overtook the trucks and blocked the front of the truck convoy.

"Stop!" Several ferocious-looking men got off the off-road vehicle, holding iron bars and machetes in their hands, looking very aggressive.

The driver swallowed and whispered to the co-pilot, "Brother, it looks like we're really being targeted."

"Don't be afraid. Follow Brother Hanwen's instructions and put on a show for them." The person in the passenger seat took a deep breath, pushed open the car door and walked out.

The leader of the other party stepped forward, slammed the iron rod in his hand on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "What are you carrying in these cars?"

"Just... just ordinary stuff." The co-pilot pretended to be panicked. "They are just daily necessities for the supermarket. There's really nothing else."

"Daily necessities?" The leader sneered, "Then let me see what you are pretending to be."

Several men at the back immediately rushed over to open the boxes and took out boxes of goods. When they saw what was in the boxes, everyone was stunned.

"Paper towels? Laundry detergent?" A little brother said in disbelief, "Boss, this... this can't really be supermarket stuff, right?"

The leader frowned and kicked open a box of tissues, only to find that there was indeed nothing else inside. He turned his head sharply and stared at the co-pilot: "Is there really nothing else in your fleet?"

"No, no!" The co-pilot waved his hands repeatedly, "We are just an ordinary truck team, how dare we transport those shady things!"

The leader hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Seize the car and the people, and take them back. We'll check whether the items are real or not when we get back!"

A few hours later, the truck team and the so-called "goods" were brought back to Kanta's yard. He opened the box himself, and when he saw the goods inside, his face instantly became extremely gloomy.

"Tissues?" Kanta gnashed his teeth and said, "Chen Hanwen is playing a trick on me?"

The deputy whispered, "Sir, could it be that...he did it on purpose?"

"Nonsense!" Kanta slammed the table. "This batch of goods was obviously displayed for us to see. Unfortunately, he could fool us once, but he can't fool us a second time." "Then what should we do next?" asked the deputy.

"Keep watching him, but don't act rashly." Kanta's tone was a little colder. "If he wants to play, I will play with him to the end."

At this time, Chen Hanwen was sitting in his office, drinking tea leisurely. Xiaolong ran in excitedly, his face full of excitement: "Brother Hanwen, they were caught! The truck and the goods were all seized. The people in Kanta must be very angry!"

"It's only a matter of time before he gets tricked." Chen Hanwen put down his teacup and said with a smile, "Next time, he will definitely be more careful. But the more careful he is, the slower he will act, and our ship will be able to deliver the real goods smoothly."

Xiaolong was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Hanwen, you are really good at playing chess!"

"In a game of Jianghu, it's not about who has the quickest hands, but who can hold out the longest." Chen Hanwen stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the brightly lit streets outside. "When Kanta realizes what's going on, he'll find that he can no longer control this game."

It was late at night, and the surface of the Haojiang River was shimmering under the starlight. Chen Hanwen stood in front of the office window, holding a glass of wine, and staring at the dimly lit harbor in the distance. He knew that the game he had set had made Kanta feel uneasy, but the real challenge was still to come.

Xiaolong pushed open the door and walked in, holding a piece of intelligence he had just received in his hand, with a complicated look on his face: "Brother Hanwen, there is news that the tower seems to have started to contact the group of people from the north recently."

"North?" Chen Hanwen raised his eyebrows, his tone showing a hint of interest, "Is he an old acquaintance, or a new friend?"

"I heard they came from the northeast and have something to do with arms." Xiaolong whispered, "Kanta may want to use them to give us a hard time."

Chen Hanwen gently swirled the wine in his glass and smiled, "It seems that Kanta is really anxious. He even dares to contact people from the north. Does he really think that those people are here to be his subordinates?"

"Then what should we do?" Xiaolong seemed a little nervous. "Kanta is getting arms this time, I'm afraid he's going to fight us head-on."

"Head-on confrontation?" Chen Hanwen shook his head slightly. "Does he think he can turn the tables in Macao just by holding a gun? He didn't even know who he was pointing the gun at. This stupid trick will get him into jail sooner or later."

"But what if those people in the north are really willing to help him?" Xiaolong asked.

"Merchants in the north only care about profit, not loyalty." Chen Hanwen put down his wine glass, his eyes became sharp, "They may not appreciate what Kanta can give, but they definitely cannot afford what they want."

Xiaolong nodded, but still a little worried: "But arms are risky after all. If they take the risk——"

"Don't worry, they don't dare to make such a big move." Chen Hanwen interrupted him, with a sneer on his face, "But we can help them add some fuel to the fire."

Xiaolong was stunned for a moment: "Brother Hanwen, you mean--"

"Have someone keep an eye on the movements of those people in the north and pass the news to the police." Chen Hanwen's tone was calm, but revealed a sense of ruthlessness. "If Kanta wants to play, let him have fun. But who will clean up the mess in the end is not something he can decide."

At the same time, Kanta's place was brightly lit. He sat on the sofa with a detailed route map in front of him. Next to him stood a man with a face full of flesh, who was the arms dealer "Lao Gao" from the north.

"Mr. Kan, this batch of goods we brought are all top-notch stuff. If you can eat them, no one in Haojiang will dare to go against you in the future." Lao Gao's tone was full of confidence.

Kanta stared at the map, his eyes showing some hesitation: "The stuff is good, but things are a bit tense recently, and the police are making a lot of noise. Is it safe for this batch of goods to go?"

"Mr. Kan, don't worry. Our channels have always been secret. Who dares to touch the goods from the north?" Lao Gao laughed and patted his chest to assure, "Besides, this batch of goods is large in quantity and the profit is also high. As long as you complete this order, others will bow down to you."

Kanta felt a surge of heat in his heart when he heard this. He knew that this might be a great opportunity to strike back at Chen Hanwen, but it was also full of risks.

"Okay." Kanta nodded. "When will the goods arrive?"

"Tomorrow night." Lao Gao's tone revealed a hint of confidence. "The location is still the South Pier. As long as your people make the proper arrangements, it will be absolutely foolproof."

Kanta nodded, and then said to his deputy, "Go, strengthen the defense of the South Pier and make sure nothing goes wrong tonight."

"Yes, sir!" The deputy immediately took the order and left.

The next night, the atmosphere at the South Pier was particularly tense. Trucks slowly drove into the pier, with lights illuminating the cargo boxes clearly. Kanta stood next to a black SUV, personally directing the on-site dispatch.

"Sir, the goods have been checked and there is no problem." The deputy reported in a low voice.

"Very good." Kanta nodded and was about to give the order to load the ship when suddenly, a shrill siren sounded in the distance.

"The cops are coming!" one of the men exclaimed.

Kanta's face turned pale in an instant: "What's going on? Didn't they say that the channel is absolutely safe?!"

Lao Gao was also stunned, and the confidence on his face was swept away: "Impossible! Our news has been strictly sealed, how could it be--"

"Shut up!" Kanta punched the car door. "Hurry, hide the goods immediately!"

But it was too late. The lights of the police cars were approaching quickly, and several fully armed police cars blocked the exit of the dock. The police rushed in with guns drawn and directly surrounded the entire scene.

"Everyone freeze!" a police officer shouted.

Kanta looked at everything in front of him and said with gritted teeth: "Lao Gao, what happened to your people?"

"I don't know either!" Lao Gao was sweating profusely, "Someone betrayed us!"

Kanta's eyes were full of anger, but he also knew that now was not the time to pursue responsibility. He turned sharply and said to his deputy, "Let the people flee in different directions! They can't all be caught!"

At the same time, on a tall building not far from the dock, Chen Hanwen watched all this quietly, with a meaningful smile on his face. He put down the telescope in his hand and said to Xiaolong, "Look, is Kanta in a mess now?"

Xiaolong nodded and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Hanwen, this is a great move! He thought he could borrow the power of the north, but he was played completely."
