Hong Kong Movies: I am Hongxing, what the hell is the intelligence king?

Chapter 401 One must know one's place.
"Do I need him to judge me?"

Lin Feng said to George with amusement,

“Grand Duke Cunningham is too far from Hong Kong and has never paid attention to Hong Kong. His attitude has nothing to do with me.”

But your attitude is crucial to me, George thought to himself.

"Lin Sheng, what methods do you think the major guilds will use to deal with the small tycoon?"

George quickly asked for advice.

This guy truly lives up to his reputation as a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau. After receiving guidance from Lin Feng, he has fully utilized the flexibility of a senior agent.

Ansa's bottom line is that he has no bottom line.

To be honest, if any country has the most double agents and spies, then Anssa is second to none.

Even though Anssa's iron-fisted prime minister first lifted the Iron Curtain of the Cold War, when it comes to agents loyal to the Soviet Union, Anssa is still the one.

In such an environment, expecting the agents of the Ansar Military Intelligence Bureau to be loyal to the country... even Mr. M probably wouldn't dare to make such a boast.

After reporting the news to Grand Duke Cunningham, George immediately relayed the Grand Duke's attitude to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled and said:
"what are you worried about?"

George hesitated for a moment, then confessed:

Everyone is worried.

"I'm worried that the Grand Duke will have a hard time stopping the actions of the wealthy young people."

Lin Feng laughed heartily:

"You're quite amusing. Are you worried about the young tycoon's affairs?"

"You're clearly worried about your HK$400 million salary."

How does this guy know everything?

George was completely dumbfounded!
According to the news from the young tycoon, Lin Feng asked for a fee of HK$100 million.

George immediately made an outrageous demand, asking Grand Duke Cunningham for five hundred million.

One hundred million is for Lin Feng's information fees, that's the bottom line. The other four hundred million is George's "hardship fee," which Lin Feng also allowed.

However, the problem is that this matter is too confidential, and no third person should know about it at all.

George took a deep breath and suddenly felt at ease.

Lin Feng's sources of information are truly ubiquitous.

If someone can even know this kind of information, then what is there that he doesn't know?
In fact, this is why George immediately called Lin Feng.

With Grand Duke Cunningham, George could conceal things and deceive—after all, the Onsa nobility engaged in all sorts of deception and concealment.

George was also confident that he could conceal and deceive Grand Duke Cunningham.

As a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, deceiving the enemy and even allies is a basic operation.

But he wasn't confident he could do the same thing to Lin Feng.

Swearing to God, George still couldn't figure out where Lin Feng's information came from.

As the number of times increased, George became numb to it.

Lin Feng truly possessed all the information about him; it would be virtually impossible to keep it from him.

George dared not lie to Lin Feng, as he did not know the extent to which Lin Feng knew about his situation.

More importantly, even though George is about to become a member of the Cunningham family, he still cannot do without Lin Feng's intelligence.

Would the Cunningham family offer him a job worth HK$400 million?
If such a job really existed, would General Cunningham secretly support Johnny D. Wong's arms dealing?
If such a job were truly available, wouldn't it be better to give it to a direct descendant of the family? Why give it to him?

George cannot do without Lin Feng's intelligence.

He dared not lie to Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin, do you think the young tycoon's plan will succeed?"

Lin Feng shrugged:

"I understand your concerns."

"If I hadn't known, he might have had a chance of succeeding."

"If I don't tell you, he still has a chance of succeeding."

“If you don’t ask Grand Duke Cunningham for 500 million Hong Kong dollars for information, he still has a chance of success.”

"Right now, there's not even a 50% chance he'll get away with it."

George opened his mouth and carefully reminded him:
"Mr. Lin, this young tycoon has Sir Shen backing him up."

Shen Daban naturally had the title of Lord awarded by Anssa.

Lin Feng suddenly asked:

"HSBC is an international company, and the one in Hong Kong is just a branch."

"Compared to its main force in Satan, which is stronger?"

George opened his mouth and said:

"That's the Hong Kong branch, of course."

Lin Feng asked with a smile:
"Is the Ansar headquarters willing to accept this?"

George naturally replied:
"How could I be willing to accept that..."

"You mean, the major guilds started with HSBC headquarters..."

Lin Feng sighed:
“George, George, you are about to become a member of the Cunningham family. According to your terms, you will rise to the top in one step and become a member of the nobility.”

"You haven't learned a single bit of the qualities of a nobleman."

George frowned and said:
"Loyalty, courage, self-sacrifice?"

Lin Feng exclaimed in astonishment:
"Is this one of the advantages of the Onsa nobility?"

"Have you been brainwashed?"

"In my view, the defining characteristics of the Ansar nobility are greed and arrogance."

George choked half to death.

"HSBC headquarters is unaware of the actions of its Hong Kong branch."

"They won't let this opportunity go."

George asked, puzzled:
"what chance?"

Lin Feng was very disappointed in George:

"You're a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, don't you know this is a brilliant move targeting Shen Daban?"

“If I were the head of HSBC headquarters, I would definitely send a letter to question Head Manager Shen.”

"Who gave him the right to squander the shareholders' money like this?"

George was baffled:

"Mr. Lin, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"The valuation of the Grand Fortune Group is severely undervalued. Even in a bear market, Grand Fortune's shares are worth more than HK$5 billion?"

"Shen Daban has made a good business."

Lin Feng sighed:
"George, I can foresee that your path to nobility will be anything but easy."

George was startled:
"Mr. Lin, please teach me."

Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"The basic characteristics of the aristocracy are a lack of moral boundaries and a tendency to distort the truth."

"You didn't even reach the passing grade."

"For nobles, everything else is meaningless; only profit is real."

"What does it matter to the HSBC branch shareholders how much they make?"

"The better and more dazzling the performance of the Hong Kong branch, the more disgraceful it is for HSBC headquarters."

"Most of the staff at headquarters wished Shen Daban were dead..."

"We all know that Ms. Shen made a good deal, don't the people at HSBC headquarters know that?"

"They are the elite of the elite, so naturally they know this."

"But don't forget."

"This is certainly a good deal, but right now it seems that Shen Daban has overstated the valuation of the Dafuhao Group."

George was completely bewildered:

"What does this mean?"

Lin Feng was slightly impatient:
"You're really stupid, this doesn't follow the procedure."

"If you can't even abide by basic procedural justice, then don't blame us."

what?
George's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed:
"You mean HSBC headquarters will make a fuss about Ms. Shen?"

Lin Feng said speechlessly:
Isn't it obvious?

George murmured:
"Even though Shen Daban has been supporting Dafuhao and blocking my way."

"But I have to say, he really did things for the empire."

"Wouldn't the people at HSBC headquarters be that short-sighted?"

Lin Feng chuckled:
"Shortsighted?"

"What are you thinking?"

"HSBC is a commercial company that has always focused on its own interests."

"What business is it of theirs what Ansar's national interests?"

"Do you think the head of Ansar is the CEO of a state-owned enterprise back home?"

George was horrified and deeply moved:

"You're right!"

Lin Feng said calmly:
"The people at HSBC headquarters are being overwhelmed by the pressure from the Hong Kong branch."

"Especially a few years ago, before Mrs. Therese went north, she had to consult with Mrs. Shen."

"If you were one of the shareholders at HSBC headquarters, what would you think?"

The truth is out!
George sighed:
"I took it for granted."

Lin Feng said irritably:

"Just you wait and see. Even if the people at HSBC headquarters do nothing, Grand Duke Cunningham will not let Shen Daban off the hook."

"Is Shen Daban acting as a guarantor for a young tycoon?"

"He wants to sever ties with the Cunningham family!"

"As the head of the Cunningham family, if he doesn't step in to stop this, what right does he have to be the head of the Cunningham family?"

"We can get ready."

George was taken aback:
"what to prepare?"

Lin Feng said indifferently:
"Preparing to attend Shen Daban's funeral."

hiss!
George broke out in a cold sweat.

Lin Feng's tone made him feel as if he were witnessing the end of Shen Daban's life.

After hanging up the phone, George was unable to calm down for a long time.

I was extremely flustered.

He knew very well what kind of person Shen Daban was.

When Mrs. Therese went to her hometown to negotiate, she used the same strategy that Mrs. Shen had suggested.

This is a very insightful person.

He was deeply respected throughout the empire.

Yet, according to Lin Feng, this very person was entering the final countdown of his life.

George couldn't believe it.

But then again, is it really impossible for this to happen?

George asked himself with particular sincerity... that it was almost certain to happen.

He has figured out the whole thing.

Shen Daban is very capable and highly respected by the current government, but he is only a Daban.

"Big boss" sounds nice, but he's just a high-earning boss.

Shen Daban is different from the wealthy man.

Neither Cunningham nor George ever considered taking the life of the wealthy man.

This was not due to their kindness, but rather because of their status as extremely wealthy individuals.

Don't misunderstand, the tycoon changed his nationality a long time ago. He's no longer from his hometown; he's become a member of the Onsa Federation.

Unlike Shen Daban, Da Fuhao was a truly wealthy man.

In the Western world, the wealthy are the foundation.

You can use all sorts of methods to deal with a rich person, but that's all.

If you want to take his life, then sorry, what awaits you is the full-scale counterattack of the wealthy.

The super-rich are entitled to such treatment.

Shen Daban is completely different. You could say he's a successful "employee king," but you can't say he's a rich man.

HSBC certainly has money, but it doesn't belong to Shen Daban.

With HSBC backing her, Shen Taiban can look down on many wealthy people.

However, once he sheds his HSBC tycoon persona, he is actually no more noble than the white-collar workers inside the office building.

At least in the minds of the Anssa nobility, Shen Daban and the wealthy were fundamentally different.

Killing a tycoon would mean a whole host of troubles.

After all, they are wealthy people, which makes wealthy people feel insecure and fearful, and will provoke their backlash.

What if we take down Shen Daban?

Although it's a little troublesome, it's just a minor inconvenience with no lingering consequences.

George felt a chill run through his body.

He thought of himself.

As a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, once caught during a mission, there is basically no chance of survival.

Even if you're not caught while on a mission, as long as someone is targeting you, you still have no way out.

This is the miserable life of a secret agent.

"I want to become a nobleman."

"I want to take control of my own destiny."

George clenched his teeth inwardly.

Normally, he would never think about this.

However, seeing such a stark example in Hong Kong, even George, a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was afraid!

He was as helpless as a lamb to the slaughter.

Regardless, he had to seize the opportunity; only by becoming a member of the Cunningham family could he avoid something like what happened to Shen Daban.

Based on the current development, becoming a nobleman seems to be only a matter of time.

"Thanks to Lin Sheng's reminder, otherwise... I would have made a mistake."

"We must not offend Lin Sheng in the future... He is a powerful figure who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist."

"I have to curry favor with him."

George made a decision in secret.

However, upon thinking of a certain legendary event, George froze again.

"I heard that Lin Sheng's biological father is Ni Kun, and because of him, he deeply hates drug trafficking."

"Won't this way of gaining followers offend him?"

George didn't take the loss of fans seriously at all.

The people of Anssa never took the matter of taking powder seriously.

On the contrary, this is an effective means of accumulating wealth.

Ke Linsheng's attitude towards losing fans is very clear: if you dare to lose fans, then I will beat you up.

Isn't the Ni family awesome?

Lin Feng flipped him over with one hand.

Chung Ching Society is awesome, right?

Lin Feng contacted the surrounding gangs, and they were wiped out overnight.

Even recently, there was another drug lord, Guan Caiba, who was inconspicuous in Hong Kong but was a major drug kingpin in his hometown.

They were still wiped out by Lin Feng.

The dismemberment case of drug lord Boss Ma, which is currently causing a great uproar, has led many to suspect that Lin Feng was responsible.

After all, this person has a criminal record.

George was sweating profusely, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

"We can't do that."

"This thing is too dangerous."

“Once Lin Sheng has his eye on me, it won’t be any easier for him to deal with me than killing a chicken.”

George did not underestimate himself; on the contrary, as a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he had an objective assessment of his abilities.

Because he had such a high opinion of himself, George was worried that Lin Feng would make a move against him.

Honestly, given Lin Feng's status, it seems that only those with exceptional abilities and high positions are worth taking action against.

Are those scoundrels even worth Lin Feng's attention?
Lin Feng's underlings would be ashamed to do it themselves; it would be more appropriate for his underlings to do it.

On the other hand, using heroin to control the gang and recoup funds was a mission assigned to me by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

What if I can't finish it?
George was caught in a dilemma, but after thinking for a long time, he suddenly slapped himself hard across the face:

"Are you fucking stupid!"

"You'll soon have 500 million Hong Kong dollars in your hands, and you'll soon become a member of the Cunningham family."

"You are about to become a nobleman."

"What business is it of yours what the Military Intelligence Bureau's mission is!"

"Is the Military Intelligence Bureau's mission more important, or your life?"

George naturally arrived at the answer, but a new question arose.

"The situation with Zhongyixin is troublesome."

"We must decouple from them as soon as possible."

"But everyone in the martial arts world knows that loyal and trustworthy people are a bunch of lunatics."

"How to do this?"

George frowned deeply.

He somewhat regretted provoking this group of lunatics.

But what can be done?
At that time, he had no choice but to be loyal, righteous, and trustworthy.

"How about... we erase the Loyalty and Trust?"

George's heart skipped a beat; he was startled by his own thoughts.

Loyalty, righteousness, and trustworthiness are not to be trifled with.

If they find out, it will lead to a severe retaliation.

Those people don't care if you're a police officer or a foreigner.

They're typical desperados.

"No, if I don't sever ties with Zhongyixin and stop this drug-related activity as soon as possible, Lin Sheng will definitely use it against me."

A person must always know their place.

A high-ranking agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, what a high-ranking official!
A member of the Cunningham family, what a high status!

These things that are unattainable in the eyes of ordinary people are nothing to Lin Feng.

George was caught in a dilemma and drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already noon, and the glaring sunlight woke him up.

George finished washing up, his mind preoccupied, and was just about to find something to eat when Cunningham walked in excitedly:

"George, great news!"

George roused himself:

"General, what good news is there?"

Cunningham patted him on the shoulder affectionately:

"Your information has been invaluable."

"After learning of your news, the head of the family did not hesitate for a moment and immediately confirmed it through the channels."

"As expected, Shen Daban accepted the Little Rich Man's share pledge."

"The young tycoon has mortgaged one-third of his family's shares for HK$5 billion. Shen Daban has informed the headquarters of Onsa Group and authorized the use of headquarters funds."

George said speechlessly:
"What kind of good news is this?"

"Isn't this already confirmed?"

Cunningham laughed:
"What we fear most is a sneak attack from the other side."

“If we didn’t know, this would have been 100% successful.”

"At that time, the Cunningham family will be in a completely passive position."

"But now we know..."

“That’s a completely different story.”

George's heart skipped a beat.
"what do you mean?"

Cunningham smiled and said:

"The young tycoon has been imprisoned!"

George looked up in astonishment:
"A wealthy young man has been imprisoned?"

"Why?"

Cunningham shrugged:

"He engaged in insider trading. Those one-third of the shares were worth at most four billion at the current market price, but they were sold for five billion."

"Anyone would know there's something wrong here."

"Of course, that's not the point."

George was even more surprised.

"What's the point?"

Cunningham smiled and said:

“A count in Onsa told the media that the little rich man was trying to bribe him with three million pounds in order to get the big rich man out of prison.”

"What kind of place is this Fog City? How dare he run wild here?"

"So, he was imprisoned."

George remained silent for a long time, thinking to himself, "You guys are really shameless."
