Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

"Aze, have the people from Squad 6 take Grandma and the others home," Wang Yaotang ordered from the doorway with a cold face and his hands behind his back.

They had organized their own "New Year's Day special" and started promoting it many days in advance. It was impossible for the police not to know, but they just happened to come and search at this time. Nobody would believe it wasn't intentional.

“Wei Tao, contact…” Wang Yaotang thought for a moment, “Contact Huang Bingyao and ask him what’s going on with this bunch of good-for-nothings.”

Wei Tao's hand trembled slightly. I asked my superior, but for some reason, I suddenly felt a little excited and elated.

He'd already figured out how to ask, "Little Huang, Yao asked me to pass on a message to you..."

"Ah Yao, this, this, will we be okay if the police come?" Ah Jie's mother asked with a worried expression.

"Should we call and ask Brother Aji?" Aji's grandmother asked, also quite frightened.

"Don't worry, these guys are just deliberately trying to cause trouble for me. It's just a small argument, like two neighbors arguing. It looks loud, but it's nothing serious," Wang Yaotang said with a smile, reassuring me. "If they really wanted to arrest me, they wouldn't have just sent a few people. There would have been at least several hundred police officers surrounding the scene."

The two elders stared blankly at Wang Yaotang. "Your words of comfort are really... unique."

Okay, at least it shows that it's just a minor squabble right now.

"Okay, then we'll head back. Go home as soon as you're done here," A-Jie's mother whispered before following the security guard toward the door.

"Wait, don't go, there's no inspection yet..." Two anti-drug police officers reached out to stop them.

"Fuck you!" The security guard in charge kicked the other person before he could finish speaking.

Yao-ge is watching right behind us!
I must show Yao-ge my loyalty!

Instantly, his punches and kicks became even more powerful!

The entrance was too narrow, only allowing four people to rush up side by side. The security guards who were too slow regretted it.

Aside from a few brothers going out to take on security duties, the security team spent the rest of their time working out and training. They trained much harder than the police, and with just a few punches and kicks, they took down two anti-drug officers.

The two men, their faces flushed with anger, suddenly pulled out their guns as they rolled over. "Dare to assault a police officer? We'll shoot you dead if you move!"

"Come on, kill me!" Two security guards rushed to ram their heads into the muzzle of the gun.

This reckless behavior scared the two policemen so much that they immediately put their guns away. If they accidentally discharged and killed someone, they would be finished!
I know exactly what I've done in my daily life, and once I'm caught by them, I'm completely finished.

"Pah, good-for-nothing!" The four of them stood up and turned to look at Wang Yaotang.

Wang Yaotang clapped his hands gently, his face full of smiles.

loyalty!

The two elderly people looked at the policeman who had been knocked to the ground with strange expressions, then turned to look at Wang Yaotang who was smiling. For a moment, they felt as if they had returned to the War of Resistance against Japan.

Why does this place of mine have such a strong "local gentry and bully" vibe?

The two policemen look rather pitiful...

This thought was fleeting, and the two hurriedly followed the security team. However, the younger sisters, Wang Lixuan and Guan Jiahui, insisted on staying to watch the excitement, showing no fear of Wang Yaotang getting into trouble.

In fact, not only them, but not a single customer left the scene.

Those who frequently visit this place know about the embarrassing situation Wang Yaotang caused the police a while ago, and the police were completely helpless.

Later, a conflict arose with the Fang family, which apparently ended with the Fang family backing down. So, playing here shouldn't cause any trouble.

Even those who didn't know much about Wang Yaotang's situation would be told by their companions, and they all watched with great interest.

Not long after, Gou Zuibo rushed over, looking very angry.

"Brother Yao," Gou Zuibo walked over and whispered to Wang Yaotang, "These cops are framing you, they want to get you."

"Explain what it is," Wang Yaotang frowned.

"They found more than ten kilograms of powder in the warehouse."

Wang Yaotang's gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared at Gou Zuibo. "Are you sure they framed you?!"

Dog Mouth Wave shuddered violently, his voice rising uncontrollably, "I'm sure, of course I'm sure, they're framing me on purpose. I didn't touch any of these things at all. Everyone in our establishment can testify that no one here has ever sold anything, and no one sells anything near the entrance. Even if a customer occasionally uses it, they've brought it in secretly from outside."

Seeing this, Wang Yaotang nodded slightly. He didn't think Gou Zuibo would dare to violate his order. It wasn't something that one or two people could do.

"Could someone have smuggled it in secretly? After all, it's a warehouse."

“That means someone deliberately framed us to get it sent in. It couldn’t possibly be stored here. Every night, so many supplies are consumed and have to be taken from the warehouse. There are so many people coming and going, it’s not a place to hide things. Even hiding it under the sofa in the private room would be more discreet,” Gou Zuibo said very quickly.

Just then, Wang Yuanzhi walked over arrogantly with a group of policemen. "Wang Yaotang, you... um?"

"what happened!"

He immediately spotted his two subordinates with bruised and swollen faces.

"Just now, Wang Yaotang arranged for more than a dozen people to escort the two of them out." The two spoke tactfully.

"Escape!" Wang Yuanzhi pointed at Wang Yaotang's nose. "More than ten kilograms of drugs were found at the scene. Wang Yaotang, as the nightclub owner, what else do you have to say? Assaulting a police officer and arranging for your subordinates to escape—you're guilty of multiple crimes!"

As he spoke, he ripped handcuffs off his subordinate and walked towards Wang Yaotang, saying, "I'm going to arrest you now according to the law. Put your hands out!"

Looking at the silver handcuffs, Wang Yaotang suddenly laughed, "Fuck your mother, who the hell gave you the guts to frame me!"

"With witnesses and physical evidence, Cai Shenyao, you think you're so great? I'll give you a chance, resist arrest!" Wang Yuanzhi grinned, a sinister smile on his face.

Seeing that Wang Yaotang made no further move, Wang Yuanzhi curled his lip and said, "Heh, ptooey, God of Wealth Yao, heh, which drug dealer I've arrested isn't more ruthless than you? You think you can get away with just holding up banners and giving interviews? Let me tell you, I'm a soldier, you're a bandit, you're nothing but a fart. You want to play around? I'll play you to death!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Wang Yaotang's hand and "click" put on the handcuffs.

“You’re a soldier, I’m a bandit, very good, well said.” Wang Yaotang grinned.

"What the hell are you laughing at? Arrest all of them and take them away!" Wang Yuanzhi waved his hand sharply.

Difficult to handle?

What's so difficult about it!

Those guys upstairs are just getting more and more cowardly as they get older. They've gone crazy from being cops. What are they afraid of? They're all about evidence. They're insane. Look at them... Just arrest them first. What kind of evidence can't be arranged?

Seeing that Wang Yaotang remained silent, Sha Ze and his companions obediently allowed him to put on the handcuffs, but they kept cursing and swearing.

"Dare to tell me your name?"

"I will find your whole family and thank you properly!"

"I think the whole family is going to be rich!"

Wei Tao stretched out his hands blankly. He had just returned from asking for news, and now he was going to be handcuffed and taken to prison.

I'm a police officer!
I'm a good person!

The hundreds of customers at the scene never expected that the situation would suddenly reverse, ending with the police finding a large quantity of drugs.

No, Caishen Yao was so powerful just now, knocking the policeman to the ground and escorting two old ladies out. How come he's suddenly so weak?

So, is this guy really poisonous?
Is the claim that selling powder is not allowed in these venues just a pretense?

Who knew this guy was hiding his true colors so well?

Most people would never have imagined that the police would frame someone.

Even the police and government law enforcement agencies, no matter how bad their reputation is, still have a bottom line.

The commotion was huge. Paparazzi who were wandering around the area on New Year's Eve rushed over as soon as they received the news and immediately saw Wang Yaotang and his group being escorted out in handcuffs.

The flashbulbs kept going off.

"Take a good picture! This guy, the head of the He Sheng Yi Tsim Sha Tsui branch, the Double Flower Red Stick God of Wealth Yao, said he strictly prohibited drugs in his place, but look what happened! There were over ten kilograms of drugs on the spot!" Wang Yuanzhi pointed at Wang Yaotang and said loudly, and also had his men show the bags they were carrying.

Packets of white powder were placed in front of the camera, and the reporter pressed the shutter button even faster.

"Mr. Wang, the police accuse you of outwardly opposing drug trafficking while secretly spreading drugs. What is your response to this?" a reporter shouted.

“Very good question.” Wang Yaotang raised his hands to show the handcuffs. “I’ve been arrested again.”

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd.

"Last time I asked the police to apologize, but they didn't say anything. The retaliation came so quickly."

“Come on, get in the car. You’re a criminal suspect now. Every word you say is…” Seeing that Wang Yaotang was about to say something inappropriate to the reporter again, Wang Yuanzhi pushed him hard from behind.

The entire police force highly agrees that Wang Yaotang is sharp-tongued and quick-witted.

This time, Wang Yaotang could no longer hold back. He raised his elbow, twisted his body, and swept it towards Wang Yuanzhi's temple.

As a gust of wind swept in, Wang Yuanzhi reflexively jerked his head back and staggered back two steps.

"Everyone, you've seen it! The police are afraid of me speaking out. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. The public has the most basic right to know, right?" Wang Yaotang shouted, and the crowd of reporters immediately erupted, frantically crowding forward.

Upon hearing his elder brother speak, the security guards who had been standing quietly to the side suddenly charged at the anti-drug squad members with their chests behind their backs.

With a large number of people and cameras everywhere, the security guards' movements were standard and posed little threat. The anti-drug team members didn't dare to draw their guns and were easily pushed aside by the security team. The reporters rushed through the gap and surrounded Wang Yaotang.

Now it won't be so easy for the anti-drug squad to take Wang Yaotang away.

Wang Yuanzhi stared at Wang Yaotang in the group of reporters with a livid face. He had led the operation secretly without the cooperation of other departments and was severely understaffed.

Knowing that Wang Yaotang was difficult to deal with and that a conflict might occur, they were prepared to open fire immediately if Wang Yaotang's men took out their batons. A .38 caliber bullet to the leg wouldn't cause much damage, and they could bear the consequences.

To his utter surprise, the man surnamed Wang controlled the conflict and obediently allowed himself to be handcuffed. He thought that the man surnamed Wang was nothing special and just boastful.

There happened to be a reporter present, so he casually added a few words to label the man surnamed Wang. He knew all too well what these reporters were like; once the overwhelming reports came out, they wanted to clear his name.
How can it be!

Even the police themselves can't clear their names!

"The police want to use the media to pressure me and fabricate charges against me. Well, then of course I have to accept the media's right to scrutiny. Every word I say can be used as evidence in court, and the same goes for what the police say."

“The police said I was the head of the Shing Yee Tsim Sha Tsui branch, a double-flower red stick, haha, let’s skip that.” Wang Yaotang waved the handcuffs, eliciting a burst of laughter from those around him.

"So, Mr. Wang, are you the person in charge of the Sing Yi branch in Tsim Sha Tsui?"

Wang Yaotang pointed at the reporter and winked, "You asked if the police accused me of drug trafficking. My answer is that it's a frame-up. The police have the right to suspect, but not the right to make a determination. Only the court can make a determination in court when there is sufficient evidence. I can say with certainty that I have suffered significant damage to my reputation and finances because of their rumors. This is not the first time, so I will immediately file a lawsuit against the Hong Kong Royal Police Force for my 'rumor-mongering'!"

“This is not a problem with any one police officer. When he wears the badge, he represents the police force, and that is the source of his law enforcement authority.”

"Can you determine someone is a drug addict simply by leaving a packet of powder in their home, car, or workplace?"

“If possible, the police can arrest anyone, anytime, anywhere, including the governor.”

"Therefore, I think this is not acceptable. There must be a complete chain of evidence: where the drugs came from, who handled them, how they were traded, how much money was involved, whether it was cash or other equivalents, through what channels the transactions were conducted, and who was involved. All of these are necessary to determine whether drug trafficking activities have been carried out."

“I believe the police must have enough evidence, after all, they came straight to the Dynasty Nightclub warehouse after receiving the tip.”

"If not, then how did the drug pouch, which serves as physical evidence, come about? Was it because I, as a drug offender, acted meticulously and didn't leave any trace, or was someone deliberately framing me?"

"Who is this person who framed him? What is their motive? Who else was involved?"

There has to be a complete result, but what if there isn't? What if the investigation can't find it?

"That's where things get interesting. If the police want, this can be reused, as long as they can't find the person who framed them in the end..."

"Therefore, on January 1, 1982, a large-scale social research program, 'The Deep Dive into Wang Yaotang's Drug Trafficking Case,' will be broadcast. Please look forward to it!"

"Alright, I'm off to the police headquarters detention room again. See you later, everyone."

Reporters and onlookers cheered loudly. As if seeing him off, Wang Yaotang walked to the policeman and said, "Chief Inspector Wang Yuanzhi, what are you standing there for? Everyone is waiting for your performance. Don't waste time, let's go."

Wang Yuanzhi's face was ashen. He couldn't understand how things could suddenly take such a turn for the worse when everyone had already been arrested and handcuffed.
Looking at the many reporters outside, the many onlookers, and the dozen or so Toyota Hiace vehicles in the distance that were clearly painted with the special livery of Shengyi Security, Wang Yuanzhi felt a chill run down his spine.

Why is this happening?! (End of Chapter)
