Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 176 Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tigers Fight (Part 1)

The next day, Chen Yongren went to Chen Hong and confessed about the Ni family's affairs.

"Okay, I understand. Your brother wants you to go, so just go and keep an eye on things."

Chen Hong casually picked up his teacup and took a sip. "We'll enter the fray when the time is right."

"The Ni family's involvement in heroin will not end well."

“I hate this kind of poison the most, and I will never allow it to spread to my territory.”

“Ah Ren, you will be my undercover agent and keep an eye on them in the Ni family.”

Tell me when they've fought to the point of exhaustion.

If anything happens to the Ni family, you can tell the police and let them deal with them.

Chen Yongren was completely confused. Huang Zhicheng asked him to infiltrate Chen Hong's family, and Chen Hong asked him to infiltrate the Ni family's family as well, and also to inform the police as an undercover agent.

what is this?
Triple agent?

Chen Hong's idea was very simple: let the Ni family and their underlings fight it out.

Let the Ni family fight with the police again.

Let them fight, let them fight fiercely, they'll exhaust their strength and won't have the energy to deal with themselves.

The Ni family's drug trade, though extremely profitable, is unsustainable.

Once they've fought enough, I'll make my move and reap the rewards from the Ni family.

They seized territory, wealth, manpower, channels, and connections, turning them all into their own power.

Meanwhile, what Huang Zhicheng and Chen Yongren didn't know was that they weren't the only ones who had planted spies in the Ni family.

Han Chen, the leader of the Ni family, also planted an undercover agent in the police station.

Han Chen (Tsang Chi-wai) sat on the sofa, looking at Lau Kin-ming sarcastically: "You got promoted so quickly, and soon you'll be a superintendent? You might as well become a full-time police officer."

Han Chen's wife, Marry, quickly tried to smooth things over: "Brother Chen is just joking with you, smile."

Liu Jianming forced a smile: "These past two years, I've relied entirely on Brother Chen for the information I need."

"You used to be a nobody, someone I asked to catch small fish and shrimp, and also help me sweep away those monsters and demons."

Now that you've been promoted, you can target higher-ups instead of me.

Although Han Chen was short and ugly, he was a smiling tiger with a strange and unsettling personality.

He walked up to his wife.

"Wow, how come you're so dirty?"

"How about we grab a pretty girl?"

As he spoke, he grabbed his wife's buttocks and showed them to Chen Jianming.

"Oh, you're going to die!"

Marry quickly slapped Han Chen's hand away and glanced awkwardly at Liu Jianming.

"Haha, how can there be such a beautiful woman?" Han Chen joked. "Your man must be very handsome, otherwise how could he be worthy of you?"

Han Chen's words contained a hint of probing, but more importantly, they were a warning to the young and handsome Liu Jianming not to have any improper thoughts.

Marry teased Han Chen's face, saying, "Isn't that you? You're praising yourself for being handsome in a roundabout way. How annoying."

"Hehehe, I'm off." Han Chen picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

"Leaving again?" Marry asked, somewhat disappointed.

"I have an appointment with Mr. Ni, we need to do some work." Han Chen went out to Mr. Ni's house.

While fixing the audio equipment, Liu Jianming tried to find topics to talk about.

"Brother Chen, you're so good to me."

"Unfortunately, he wasn't good to himself."

Marry, somewhat annoyed, lit a cigarette.

"He could have been the boss himself, but he gave it all to the guy surnamed Ni."

Nobody dares to touch anyone with the surname Ni now.

Ni Yongxiao will definitely settle accounts with someone for that matter.

For the past four years, I haven't been sleeping well.

"Don't worry, Sister Marry, I won't let anything happen to you," Liu Jianming promised.

"You have to keep your word," Marry said jokingly, thinking he was just trying to comfort her.

"Definitely." Liu Jianming replied earnestly.

The way he looked at Marry revealed a deep-seated emotion.

When Han Chen arrived at the Ni family, the four leaders also arrived one after another.

Chen Yongren was also present; it looked like a family gathering at the Ni family's villa, and it was quite warm.

But once Ni Yongxiao and the leaders sat down to talk, the atmosphere was completely different.

"A couple of days ago, a real estate agent came to see the house. Guess what price he asked for?"

"One hundred and six hundred million."

"One hundred and sixty million!"

"What are you saying Hong Kong Island is up to?"

Ni Yongxiao scoffed.

“I remember when Dad bought this place, it cost… 9.28 million.”

It doesn't even amount to a fraction of current housing prices.

"What kind of world is this?"

"Chen Hong has a good eye."

"Now he has invested so much in real estate, expanding like crazy, and there are residential communities he is building everywhere."

"In my opinion, he'll probably make a fortune in the future."

"I don't think so," one of the leaders said indignantly. "Real estate prices are already ridiculously high. If they continue to rise, they will be far from worth it."

Who would be foolish enough to buy such a worthless thing?

In my opinion, once his residential complexes are completed, property prices will drop, and he'll probably lose everything.

"Haha, you can't say that. At least they have really strong connections to be able to acquire so much land."

No matter how much we lose, we still have other businesses to support us.

"Hahaha……"

All the leaders laughed.

Ni Yongxiao shook his head. The vision of these leaders could never compare to his own, much less to Chen Hong's.

Although he was bullish on the real estate market, he knew that it was a completely different field, and he didn't dare to invest his money in it lightly.

But Chen Hong dared to do it.

That's the confidence, that's the courage!
In this respect, he admitted that he was not as good as Chen Hong.

"Mr. Ni, are you looking for a real estate agent to move to a different house?"

After one of the leaders finished laughing, he tentatively asked.

"It's nothing, it's almost 1997, time to immigrate."

Ni Yongxiao has sent a signal.

Another leader continued to probe brazenly:

"It's no big deal. Everything is very convenient now. Just call back if anything happens."

This was clearly a test to see if Ni Yongxiao would remotely control the gang.

"That's what I think too, but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the phone bill."

You all know how ruthless phone companies are.

Ni Yongxiao used an absurd joke to satirize the leaders as ruthless characters, implying that once he left, they would no longer be able to control things remotely.

The leaders understood and snorted coldly.

Ni Yongxiao bluntly stated: "Actually, I've discussed it with my mother, and now our Ni family business is on track. You've been helping us manage the business for quite some time now."

We don't want people to think that we don't need monks anymore after we've finished our vegetarian meal.

So I plan to divide this business entirely among you guys after I leave.

Whether it's out of gratitude or for the housing provident fund, right?

The leaders looked at Ni Yongxiao in surprise.

Ni Yongxiao got up to leave, saying, "Eat, take whatever you like."

Let's get together more often when we have time, like today. It was great.

Ni Yongxiao is gone, leaving these old guys looking at each other in bewilderment and fighting amongst themselves.

Han Chen followed Ni Yongxiao into the house to talk.

"Mr. Ni, are you really leaving?"

"If you leave, things will get chaotic."

"Ah Chen, you're a Buddhist, right?"

"You should be happy for me that I've been able to let go."

"I've thought it through for you; the world will definitely be a cocaine world from now on."

The four of them were shipped over from South America in small packages; they won't amount to much.

I've reached an agreement with the Thai side. From now on, you'll have the exclusive right to import. You'll be the big player, and everyone will listen to you.

"Once you've finished your business in Thailand in a couple of days, you can come back and start this business."

Because Ni Yongxiao was so open and honest, Han Chen truly believed that he was doing it for his own good.

So I quietly asked him, "Are you planning to deal with those four?"

Ni Yongxiao was not surprised by Han Chen's intelligence, which was clearly superior to that of the four leaders.

Ni Yongxiao smiled but did not answer.

But Han Chen had clearly already decided on the answer.

Ni Yongxiao went out to reunite with his family and prepare to take a family photo.

They even called Chen Yongren, a guy who seemed somewhat isolated and taciturn in the Ni family, to take photos.

This is a signal that the family has accepted Chen Yongren, their illegitimate son, as part of the Ni family.

After taking the photos, Ni Yongxiao spoke with Chen Yongren: "Actually, I have rarely stayed in Hong Kong Island in the past two years, so it is a rare occasion for the whole family to gather together today."

My older sister, older brother, and younger brother all went to legitimate jobs and didn't get involved in the family business.

So I think you should go home and help.

My father used to do everything for the family, and so did I.

I hope you do too.

Clearly, Ni Yongxiao wanted Chen Yongren to inherit the family's dirty business.

This way, the risk falls on Chen Yongren, and the money earned is spent by the whole family.

His sister, brother, and brother all did legitimate things.

Even if something happened—the family business was shut down, Chen Yongren went to jail—the rest of the family members were fine.

This is how large families differentiate risks and share benefits.

Ni Yongxiao said to Chen Yongren, "There's a deal coming up next week, and I hope you'll come with me."

Chen Yongren, who was an undercover agent, could only nod.

"I'll contact you then."

Ni Yongxiao patted Chen Yongren on the shoulder and turned to leave.

After collecting the information, Chen Yongren took a bus and met up with Huang Zhicheng.

He gave the information to Huang Zhicheng, but unexpectedly ran into his superior Lu Qichang (Hu Jun).

It turned out that Lu Qichang had been following them for several days and finally discovered Chen Yongren, the undercover agent that Huang Zhicheng had been secretly hiding.

He deduced that Ni Yongxiao wanted to eliminate not only the four leaders, but also Han Chen.

Meanwhile, Marry called to warn her husband, Han Chen, that Ni Yongxiao was also going to get rid of him.

Unfortunately, Han Chen didn't believe it. He thought he was valuable to Ni Yongxiao and that it was impossible for him to be killed as well.

In the end, I boarded the plane and headed to Thailand.

The evening of the trading day arrived.

Lu Qichang led a team, preparing to catch Ni Yongxiao red-handed and convict him directly.

It turns out that Lu Qichang also had an undercover agent working for Ni Yongxiao.

Although Ni Yongxiao changed the transaction date, the news was still leaked by the undercover agent.

After Ni Yongxiao and the others were all brought back to the station, they began to be interrogated.

“Ah-Xiao, do you insist on waiting for the lawyer before you will speak?”
"Let's cooperate," Lu Qichang advised.

"Don't say that, I should be thanking you for your cooperation." Ni Yongxiao gave a meaningful smile.

“You’re speaking in such profound terms that no one will understand,” Huang Zhicheng said.

"My dad always says: What goes around comes around."

Ni Yongxiao took off his watch and calculated the time.

“He has been dead for four years, and today is the day.”

Ni Yongxiao's arrangements worked.

He took advantage of the moment when the officers made their arrest to distract the enemy.

They sent men to kill the four main leaders one by one.

But Huang Zhicheng and his associates were unaware of this and shamelessly boasted:

"You're right here, what tricks can you possibly pull?"
Let's just be honest and explain everything clearly; that way, it'll be better for everyone.

But he was proven wrong the very next second.

A policeman walked in and said, "Boss, we've found out. That foreigner is a private investigator."

Huang Zhicheng and Lu Qichang's expressions changed, and they instantly had a bad feeling.

Clearly, Ni Yongxiao was prepared; he deliberately released that transaction information to mislead everyone.

Ni Yongxiao put on his watch.

time up.

All four leaders were killed by various methods, without exception.

Only Han Chen received a phone call from his wife, Marry, reminding him of the call.

“Ni Yongxiao wants to kill you.”

"How could that be? I'm currently in Thailand doing something for him."

"Listen to me, Ni Kun... I killed him!"

Han Chen's expression changed drastically. He never expected that his former boss was killed by his own wife.

Then he would have a blood feud with Ni Yongxiao for killing his father.

In other words, Ni Yongxiao really wanted to kill him!

Han Chen immediately raised his guard to the highest level.

Upon arriving at the transaction location, the first mover strikes, taking advantage of the handshake, stabs the trader in the stomach.

He was killed with a single shot.

They then took the Thai man hostage and fought their way out of the encirclement.

He managed to save his own life.

Ni Yongxiao then pulled out a videotape in the interrogation room.

What was played was surveillance footage of Huang Zhicheng and Han Chen's wife, Marry, having a tryst in a hotel room.
