Hong Kong Movie: At the beginning, Big Boss B asked me to draw the death lottery

Chapter 138 I, Zhang Shih-hao, am someone who has made the front page of newspapers; I would rather die than betray my brothers!
"Hey?"

In a VIP suite at the Four Seasons Hotel, Crow finally received a response from Fat Lai through the hotel's cross-border transfer service.

"Fatty Li, it costs fifty dollars a minute to make this call. I spent a total of six hundred dollars just to wait for you to answer!"

I thought you died in Thailand!

"I was watching boxing with Jiang Tianyang just now, so it wasn't convenient for me to answer the phone."

Why are you so angry? Have you encountered some trouble?

Fatty Li was well aware of Crow's misfortune. This guy had often spoken rudely to him in the past. Knowing that he had been humiliated, Fatty Li felt quite pleased.

Sure enough, upon hearing Fatty Li's slightly mocking accent, Crow became even more enraged.

"You dare to have the cops watching me!"

I'm warning you, if anything happens to me, I'll drag you down with me before I die!

Fatty Li couldn't help but sneer, completely ignoring the crow's threat.

"If you want to save on phone bills, don't say these unnecessary things."

Let's get down to business. Jiang Tianyang has arranged a boxing match for me later, and I'm in a hurry to place my bets!

"Ho Kwok-ching of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau contacted me. He said that within a week, I must provoke a major battle between Hung Hing and Wo Luen Shing."

I've thought and thought, but I still can't come up with a suitable solution!

You've read a lot of books, so hurry up and make a decision!

"Hehe, Crow, didn't I tell you this before?"
If you want to provoke a fight between Hung Hing and Wo Luen Shing, it's useless to focus your efforts on Wo Luen Shing.

"Within the Wo Luen Shing family, if one of their leaders dies, they can simply elect another. The new leader takes over, and many things are easily overlooked."

Crow wholeheartedly agreed with Fat Man Li's response.

Then Fat Man Li continued his sermon.

"You still need to work on Jiang Tiansheng and frame He Yaozong for Jiang Tiansheng's death. Only then will there be a possibility of a complete break between Jiang Tianyang, Liansheng and Hung Hing!"
Moreover, we must ensure that Jiang Tianyang smoothly takes over the position of leader of Hung Hing; he cannot let the murder of his brother go unavenged!

"Why must it be Jiang Tianyang who takes over the leadership position?"

"Are you stupid! With Chiang Tin-sang dead, the most qualified person in Hung Hing to take over the leadership position, besides Chiang Tin-yang, is Han Bin!"
Don't you know Han Bin's style? Do you really think you can take advantage of the chaos and seize Hung Hing's territory from him?

Fatty Li's tone grew increasingly louder as he spoke, which made Crow even more displeased.

"Fatty Li, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"
Are you worried that if Han Bin takes over, there won't be a chance to return to Hong Kong Island?

By supporting Chiang Tin-yeung's return to Hong Kong, you'll have rendered a service of supporting the new regime. You'll not only get rid of Chiang Tin-sang, whom you hate so much, but you'll also be able to follow in Chiang Tin-yeung's footsteps and once again dominate the Hung Hing triad. You've got a pretty clever plan!

When the crow revealed his secret, Fatty Li did not deny it.

Ever since he lost his virginity to those two Indians in Sham Shui Po, Fatty Lai has only one thought in mind—to kill Ho Yiu Chung and Chiang Tin Tin by any means necessary!

"Crow, whatever you say goes!"

After tonight, Han Bin will conveniently go to Eastern Europe to discuss an arms deal.

In short, with Chiang Tin-sang dead during this period, Chiang Tin-yeung could legitimately return to Hong Kong to take charge of the situation!

You can still do business in Thailand as usual, and you can even take advantage of the chaos to seize territory from two gangs. No matter how you look at it, you won't lose out!

The crow couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

"It seems that being a dog for the British isn't all bad."

However, I'm curious, Chiang Tin-sang has always been on good terms with Ho Yiu-chung. What reason do you think Ho Yiu-chung would have to risk going to war with Hung Hing to kill Chiang Tin-sang?

"We're all in this together, it's not uncommon for you to hit me and I to hit you. When the time comes, as long as Jiang Tianyang admits that He Yaozong killed Jiang Tiansheng, what other reason will we need?"
"You Tung Sing and Hung Hing have been fighting in Hong Kong for so many years, what was your reason back then?!"

"It's different. When our Tung Sing and Hung Hing fight, the leaders of the two triads can still sit down and have a cup of tea."

He Yaozong isn't a mad dog. If we don't give him a reason, I'm afraid your Hung Hing's legitimacy won't be established!"

"If you really want a reason, how about Ho Yiu-chung wants to monopolize the business in Macau?"

Crow, listen up, this is what you'll do then..."

Over the phone, Fatty Li explained his plan in detail to Crow.

After hanging up the phone, the crow glanced at the clock on the wall and realized that the call had lasted for more than twenty minutes!

More than a thousand yuan, just like that, gone.

"Damn it, Fatty Li's heart is really dirty!"
But I like it!"

The crow hung up the phone, unsure whether to be happy or sad.

His influence in Tung Sing is growing, but so what?
The police had already put a dog leash around his neck; whether he lived or died was entirely up to them!
The following morning at nine o'clock, Bijia Mountain.

The hillside villas here were already completed, and after a period of construction, the interior renovations of the villas are basically finished.

All that remains are some peripheral security measures that are not yet in place.

He Yaozong naturally moved into this hillside villa area with a group of his confidants.

He is now sitting under a awning above the rooftop pool, chatting with Qiu Gang'ao.

"Ah Ao, Building 2 in Block B will be reserved for you brothers to live in from now on."

All the necessary facilities are provided over there, so you can work here from now on!
另外
"Oh, by the way, I ordered a new batch of Mercedes-Benz cars. They're parked in the garage over there. Remember to go to Xiaohui to pick up the keys when they arrive."

He Yaozong lay on a recliner and said this to Qiu Gang'ao.

Qiu Gang'ao responded in response.

“Mr. He, Brother Hua has a wife and children to take care of, and he doesn’t want to live with us.”

"Then go and say hello to Big D, and in the name of Hengyao Real Estate, go and select a villa."

"When the time comes, let Fang Chenghua move in with his wife and children. We're brothers; we can't favor one over the other and make anyone feel wronged!"

Even if He Yaozong couldn't get any reward from Qiu Gang'ao and other buddies who risked their lives for him, he would never be stingy with his money.

After discussing these personal matters, He Yaozong changed the subject.

"Li Zhikai is dead, but the Li family's reaction seems a little too calm!"

Qiu Gang'ao nodded and then shared his speculation.

“Mr. He, I used to work in the police force and I had quite a few dealings with the Special Branch.”

The people in the political department can be described as spies kept by the foreigners. They are discreet and low-key in their work, never making a fuss.

If I'm not mistaken, the Li family has probably reached some kind of secret agreement with the Political Department; they're plotting something!

A business empire is not a criminal organization; the rise and fall of a family cannot possibly be determined by the life or death of a single family member.

He Yaozong deeply agreed with Qiu Gang'ao's analysis. He remained silent for a while before finally asking a question.

"How's the surveillance going with those paparazzi you keep around?"

"That's exactly what I was about to say!"

Qiu Gang'ao replied, "Last night, Ho Kwok-ching from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau went to Lockhart Road to look for Crow."

He Guozheng chatted with Crow in his car for a few minutes. After Crow got out of the car, he looked as if he had lost his mother.

"He Guozheng, do you understand him?"

"Understood! This guy is nominally Li Wenbin's deputy, but in reality, he is the confidant of Cai Yuanqi, the top police officer."

He was the most loyal of all the foreigners. I heard that when he returned from training at Scotland Yard and was summoned by the Governor of Hong Kong, everyone else shouted slogans of striving for the honor and disgrace of the police force, but he alone shouted slogans of striving for the glory bestowed upon him by the Queen!

He Yaozong couldn't help but chuckle: "Are there really people this shameless?"

“Mr. He, we might think that he’s shameless, but he might genuinely consider serving the Queen a tremendous honor!”

"That's right. After a century of training in Hong Kong, the Westerners have created countless banana people with yellow skin and white hearts."

Ah Ao, don't just sit around doing nothing. Go to Sai Wan to find Bucky, and then bring Crow to me.

I'm really curious to know what those bastards in the Political Department are planning!

"it is good!"

Qiu Gang'ao immediately got up and went downstairs to go out and do his work.

After Qiu Gang'ao left, He Yaozong pulled the deck chair out from under the sunshade, ready to bask in the sun.

Suddenly, the cell phone lying on the stone table rang.

I pressed the answer button and found that it was Xiwei calling.

"Brother Yao, the leader of the Hesheng Gang wants to see you!"

"He Sheng Gang? What He Sheng Gang is that?!"

"It's Zhang Shih-hao, the one who robbed the armored truck at Kai Tak Airport a few years ago."

Hearing Xiwei's reply, He Yaozong suddenly realized what was going on.

Zhang Shih-hao did indeed run a small gang called the Hop Shing Gang in his early years, but it was disbanded many years ago due to his imprisonment.

Now, Zhang Shih-hao is simply following the rules of the triads—going out to make a name for himself.

On the surface, he had never crossed paths with him. He couldn't very well ask Sai Wai to tell him that he was Cheung Sai-ho, the notorious gangster boss who once dominated Hong Kong and Kowloon. Ho Yiu-chung put his sunglasses on his nose and lay down.

"Bring him to see me at Bijia Mountain!"

About twenty minutes later, after passing through layers of security checks around the residential area, Xiwei finally brought Zhang Shihao to meet He Yaozong at the swimming pool.

Xiwei stepped forward, just about to introduce He Yaozong, but Zhang Shihao beat him to it.

"Mr. He, my name is Zhang Shih-hao. I am here today to discuss some business matters with you."

He Yaozong waved for Xiwei to leave, then sat up from the recliner.

He sized Zhang Shih-hao up and down, noticing his smirking face and cunning eyes. He figured Zhang was a smart man and had guessed that he had orchestrated Li Zhi-kai's job.

I decided to give him face and extended my right hand to him.

Zhang Shih-hao quickly reached out and excitedly shook hands with Ho Yao-tsung.

Little did he know that his visit to see He Yaozong today meant he was already on the verge of death.

If he had dared to ask even a single question about Li Zhikai's kidnapping, he would have had no chance of leaving here alive today.

Fortunately, Zhang Shih-hao was a smart man. After He Yao-zong invited him to sit at the stone table, he simply asked a question.

"Mr. He, I recently made a windfall, but the money didn't come from a very clean source."

I heard that Mr. He has partnered with someone to open a casino in Macau. I'm hoping Mr. He could lend a hand and help me launder this money!

He Yaozong gave Zhang Shih-hao a cold look, then responded indifferently.

"Money laundering is fine, but first tell me where this money came from."

My casino has rules: different sources of money command different rates!

Zhang Shih-hao chuckled awkwardly, "We're all just people from the martial arts world, so I hope Mr. He won't ask any more questions."

If it's really inconvenient, how about you help me launder this money by taking the highest commission possible?

"Are you willing to pump out 50% of the water?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shih-hao was slightly taken aback.

Actually, a 50% water pumping rate isn't that high.

There was a case in Hong Kong Island where someone robbed 70 million in bonds and then exchanged them for 10 million in cash on the black market. What they got were 10 million in consecutive serial numbers of black money!
However, the money Zhang Shih-hao received was not strictly speaking illicit money.

After all, the Li family did not report the incident to the police, and the police did not file a case.

He's not really that generous; he takes a 50% cut just for visiting a casino.

"Mr. He, is there any room for negotiation?"

"If you think the commission is too high, you can also take this money to the casino and try your luck."

I can arrange a VIP room for you, so you can have a few rounds of fun with those wealthy businessmen from Southeast Asia.

If you win, consider it good luck; if you lose, consider it that you've had your fun.

His attitude was satisfactory to He Yaozong; at least the guy didn't ask any unnecessary questions.

Zhang Shih-hao was overjoyed upon hearing this, realizing that He Yao-tsung had agreed to his request.

"Mr. He, thank you for your kindness!"
Although I, Zhang Shihou, am not much of a figure in Hong Kong, please feel free to give me any orders in the future…

“If there’s nothing else, just prepare the money and go to Macau to find my deputy, Jimmy.”

I'll call him, and he'll take care of the rest for you!

He Yaozong disliked listening to Zhang Shihao's empty talk and interrupted him directly.

Just as Zhang Shih-hao was about to leave, full of gratitude, He Yao-tsung called him back again.

"Zhang Shih-hao, regarding the money laundering, besides you, me, and my deputy Jimmy in Macau, I don't want a fourth person to know. You understand what I mean?!"

Zhang Shih-hao stopped and turned around to look at Ho Yao-tsung with a smile.

"Mr. He, rest assured, I, Zhang Shih-hao, have been on the front page of major newspapers. I am by no means some ignorant thief!"

Back when the police took me to jail, they interrogated me relentlessly, but I never betrayed a single brother. My character is absolutely guaranteed!
-
West Ring Road, Triangle Pier.

Bucky was sitting on a yacht when Qiu Gang'ao handed him a silver briefcase with a combination lock.

When he opened the briefcase and saw it filled with gleaming gold banknotes, his eyes widened in astonishment.

After closing the briefcase, Bucky lit a cigar with an air of nonchalance and began his signature sideways hopping around.

"Damn it! I told you long ago that Hung Hing has a ban on selling rice noodles, but Crow lied to me and said it was about bringing fresh iced rice noodles ashore."

I should have realized it sooner; how could Tung Sing Jai possibly be involved in the frozen food business?

"Brothers, please tell Mr. He that I, Bucky, am determined to handle this matter. I'll call Crow over in a bit and have him question me thoroughly in front of him about what he's up to at my docks!"

As he spoke, Bucky held a cigar in one hand and picked up his old cell phone with the other.

He skillfully dialed a number, and soon the call was answered.

"Who?!"

The crow was clearly not in a good mood, and its questioning tone carried a hint of impatience.

"Crow, it's Bucky!"

"Brother Ji? I don't have time to talk to you today."

"Don't hang up yet, come over here right away, I have something to discuss with you!"

"Let's talk about it after today!"

"Damn it! Crow, if you don't come over today, you can forget about ever getting your ship docked at my pier again!"

Last night, Chen Yao called me and said he received a tip that I was smuggling some heroin ashore at my dock.

He even asked me what benefits I received from him. He said he wouldn't listen until he got a clear answer, otherwise he'd confront Mr. Jiang. How do you think I should explain this to Mr. Jiang?

The crow assumed that Bucky was trying to raise the price, and immediately responded with great displeasure.

"Brother Ji, all you want is money, right?"
Okay, I'll have my younger brother send over an extra 200,000 later, you can use that to shut Chen Yao up.

I advise you to be content. With your territory in Sai Wan, you should be lucky to make any money at all!

Bucky glanced at the briefcase in front of him again and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

He could choose between two hundred thousand and one million with his eyes closed.

Not to mention that he now has a business partnership with Wo Luen Shing on Portland Street.

"Crow, what the hell is your attitude?"

I'm only saying this one last time: if you don't come here today and explain everything clearly, I'll have Mr. Jiang handle this matter personally!

You know Mr. Jiang's character well; I'm afraid he'll leak information to the police, and you'll have to run to the Netherlands again!

"Tsk! Brother Ji, you're really annoying!"
Where are you now? I'm coming right away!

"Triangle Wharf, right over here at the ferry crossing where you usually load goods, hurry up!"

Another half hour passed, and it was lunchtime.

The crow finally arrived at the triangular dock.

Crow was led onto the boat by the henchmen arranged by Bucky at the dock, and he immediately spotted Qiu Gang'ao sitting next to Bucky.

For some reason, a bad feeling began to creep into his mind.

After glancing at Qiu Gang'ao a few more times, Crow sat down next to Bucky.

"Brother Ji, your new little brother?"

"No."

Bucky smiled and waved his hand, then pointed at Qiu Gang'ao and spoke.

"Let me introduce you. This is Qiu Gang'ao, a trusted confidant of the head of Wo Luen Shing."

He used to be a rising star in the East Kowloon Police District, but it's normal that you didn't know him since you were in the Netherlands before.

Upon hearing the name He Yaozong, Crow immediately panicked.

Before he could react, Qiu Gang'ao had already stood up, pulled a pistol from his waist, and pointed it at Crow's forehead.

The crow swallowed hard, its heart sinking.

"Brother Ji, what does this mean?"

"Hey! This has nothing to do with me."

Mr. He is planning to invite you to his place for a proper chat. If you have any questions, please ask Mr. He.

As Bucky spoke, he patted the crow on the shoulder again.

He then picked up the briefcase, laughed loudly, and got up to walk off the ship.
