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

Chapter 143 He Yaozong: What do you mean by only thinking about patriotism now?
The advisor, Su, no longer had the boastful attitude he had just displayed.

He simply adjusted his glasses somewhat awkwardly and chuckled sheepishly.

"Mr. He, you must be joking."

If I go to Shenzhen and run into any trouble, Shi Yong might still give me face.

But asking me to represent Wo Luen Shing to talk to him... Mr. Ho, I... I'm not qualified on either side!

He Yaozong waved his hand.

"Just go ahead and make those contacts. Whether you're qualified in their eyes or not is none of your business."

Seeing that He Yaozong had put it this way, Master Su could no longer refuse.

He could only nod and say, "Okay! But... but Mr. He, I'm not even qualified to have his phone number."

I'm afraid I'll have to make a trip to Guangzhou myself!

"Then what are you waiting for? After you finish your business, come back to Hengyao Real Estate and pick up your letter of appointment as Vice President of Legal Affairs!"

“Thank you, thank you for the sun!”

Master Su quickly got up, thanked him repeatedly, and after leaving the restaurant, he ran towards the parking lot with the speed of the wind.

The guard at the door couldn't help but glance at him suspiciously a few times, wondering if the guy had stolen something inside, which was why he ran away in such a hurry.
-
Shi Yong's actions were faster than He Yaozong had imagined.

At 10 a.m., less than an hour after Su Guoguan became his advisor, He Yaozong received a phone call.

The call was from Xu Jiayan, who said someone wanted to meet him.

The agreed meeting place was also quite interesting; it was set at Wo Tai Tea House in Sham Shui Po.

Inside the Peony Pavilion private room at He Tai Tea House.

In the past, it was always He Yaozong who waited for people here, but this time he became the guest being entertained.

Unsurprisingly, the person sitting in the tea bag was a middle-aged man with a rugged face and deep-set eyes—it was none other than Shi Yong!

Surprisingly, Shi Yong didn't come in a suit this time, but in a casual shirt and sneakers.

Upon seeing He Yaozong enter, he neither greeted him nor inquired about He Yaozong's purpose. Instead, he went straight to talking about the matter of the advisor, Su.

“We have found out that Master Su is planning to run an underground lottery in Shenzhen recently.”

He was arrested as soon as he tried to pass through checkpoints, and he's currently in jail reflecting on his actions!

He Yaozong sat down opposite Shi Yong and gave a slight smile.

He knew that Shi Yong's words had a hidden meaning, and he reminded himself that the person sitting opposite him and talking to him was Director Shi from Guangdong Province, not the old friend of his advisor Su Xi, Da Quan Bao!
It's an official matter, and there's no room for sentimentality.

Seeing that He Yaozong did not respond, Shi Yong continued.

"I had asked Lao Xu from Xinji to talk to you before, but unfortunately you never gave a clear answer."

"What, now that the foreigners are targeting you, you finally remember to be patriotic?"

"Mr. Shi's words are inappropriate!"

"What's wrong?"

"Will your mother ask you if you love her?"

As He Yaozong spoke, he took out a pack of Liangyou cigarettes from his pocket, tore open the packaging, flicked out one, and handed it to Shi Yong.

"Would you like one?"

Shi Yong glanced at He Yaozong with a deep look, then took the cigarette.

After lighting the fire, he began to speak: "There are also many loyal and patriotic people in the Hong Kong Island Police Force."

We've received word that you're in big trouble this time.

I want to ask you, did you kill that foreigner named Henry from the political department before?

"No, I abide by the law and would never do anything that disregards human life!"

Shi Yong's face darkened: "I don't like being lied to. There's no one else here, so you can tell me the truth!"

He Yaozong shook his head again: "I'm a good citizen!"

"He Yaozong is a dishonest person, and we on the mainland do not want to support him!"

"Does it really need to be revealed that Sun Kee handed over its territory in Tsim Sha Tsui, and that the Macau gambling king stepped in to secure the junket rights for me?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yong finally smiled.

"We are relieved that Wo Luen Shing is led by such a smart person as you!"
Listen up, you might be in jail for a while this time, but I guarantee the British will release you in six months at most.

This isn't like 1984 anymore; Hong Kong can't be run wild with foreigners anymore!

He Yaozong shook his head again: "Mr. Shi, the reason I came here specifically to see you is to tell you this."

I don't want to sit in this prison for even a single day!

Shi Yong was surprised: "What do you want to do?"

At this moment, several cars were already parked in a row outside the teahouse.

He Guozheng got out of the car expressionlessly and tucked his ID card into his chest.

He personally led a large group of subordinates upstairs.

A henchman immediately ran over.

"Seriously, officer? You check the signs in teahouses too?"

"The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau is only investigating you and the head of the Luen Shing Group. All irrelevant personnel, please stay away!"

He Guozheng pushed aside the henchmen blocking his way, then told a few of his subordinates to guard the front desk, and led a group of people up the stairs.

Following behind was none other than Fatty Sha from Group B.

As He Guozheng pushed open the door to the Peony Pavilion private room, he was about to say something when he suddenly caught sight of Shi Yong sitting behind the tea table.

He was taken aback and swallowed the words he was about to say.

He couldn't possibly not know the deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department!
Shi Yong glanced coldly at He Guozheng, then stood up and patted He Yaozong on the shoulder meaningfully.

Without saying a word, he walked straight out of the tea bag.

He Guozheng almost instinctively made way for Shi Yong. After confirming that Shi Yong had come downstairs, he took off the ID card he had been carrying on his chest, took out an arrest warrant, and stood in front of He Yaozong.

"Ho Yiu-chung, we suspect you are involved in a murder case."

From this moment forward, you have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
I asked you, do you need a hood?!

"Are you trying to scare your sworn brother?"

He Yaozong gave He Guozheng a cold look, then stood up, still holding the cigarette.

He took a deep breath and glanced at the policeman who was about to get the handcuffs.

He sneered, "Everyone is innocent until the court makes its ruling!"

"If you dare handcuff me, I guarantee that tonight half of Central's lawyers will flock to Wan Chai and break down your Organized Crime and Triad Bureau's doorstep!"

He Guozheng also let out a cold laugh, then waved for his subordinates with handcuffs to step back.

"Let's see how long you can keep this up!"

"I will stay with you until the day you are buried!"

……

"Big D, Big D!"

In Tsuen Wan, at Big D's residence, Lung Kin rushed in from outside in a panic.

Big D was sitting in his living room, looking anxious.

"Longgen, can you please stop shouting!"

I'm more annoyed than you are right now!

Big D was right. After Ho Yiu-chung was taken away by the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau at the Wo Tai Tea House at noon, the Wo Luen Shing group didn't initially think it was a big deal.

After all, it's commonplace for triad leaders to be summoned for questioning by the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB).

At 2 p.m., the Lands Department called to say that the owner of Heng Yao Real Estate was suspected of participating in triad organized crime activities, and the development project in Kowloon Walled City had to go through a new approval process with the Lands Department.

Then Hysan Development followed suit, indicating that it would cooperate with the Lands Department to reclaim the land in the Walled City. At that moment, Big D knew that the Lee family had joined forces with Hong Kong Island and were preparing to overturn the table where they and Luen Shing were having dinner.

That wasn't all; that same afternoon, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) charged Ho Yiu-chung with murder.

Within two hours, all the stalls, big and small, in the various districts of Wo Luen Shing were raided by the police.

All signs indicate that the police are serious about this deal with Luen Shing!

If this incident had happened three months ago, Big D would have been overjoyed.

But things are different now; almost all of his assets have been transferred to Heng Yao Real Estate, owned by Ho Yiu Chung.

If Ho Yiu-chung is imprisoned, his Big D will also be finished!
Longgen sat down on the sofa in the living room and first asked Changmao to pour him a cup of tea.

He then grabbed the tea and quickly drank a few mouthfuls before speaking.

"Big D, I've come to discuss some things with you on behalf of Ah Yao!"

Big D rolled his eyes: "Did the lawyer hired by the gang bring back a message?"

"No! He discussed countermeasures with me a few days ago."

He instructed me that as soon as the police arrested him and put him in jail, I should come find you and then do as he planned!

Longgen spoke in a low voice to Big D for a while.

The more Big D listened, the wider his eyes widened.

Only after Longgen finished speaking did he reach out and rub his numb face.

Are you sure that's what he told us?
"Long Gen, if this goes wrong, we and Lian Sheng will both be finished!"

"If you don't follow the Wo Luen Shing Foundation, you'll be finished too!"

Long Gen said with great concern, "This time, it was Commissioner of Police Cai Yuanqi who personally gave the order to remove the Wo Luen Shing signboard!"

"Several branches in District Nine have been wiped out!" Seeing that Big D still looked hesitant, Longgen spoke again.

"Big D! Now, anyone in the Ninth District who gets close to Ah Yao has been taken to jail by the police!"

Do you think you can get away with this? You're next!

……

In Tai Po, a truck carrying chilled goods was parked on the outskirts of Tai Po Hei.

Dongguan guy jumped out of the car, and a henchman who had been waiting there for a long time immediately surrounded him.

"Boss, Lao Ding told me to give him a heads-up. Now all the businesses in Tai Po have been shut down by the police!"

Besides selling chilled seafood, we have nothing else to do.

The boss told me to tell you to do as the leader instructed before!

The Dongguan guy gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Did Uncle Quan give any instructions?"

"Uncle Quan said that we in Dapu should do our best and follow the leader's instructions."

If things really get too tough, go to the mainland and seek refuge with him!

"What else is there to say? Call out all the brothers from Dapu, and wait for news from the walled city tonight. We'll follow them all to the end!"

……

Evening, West Ring Triangle Pier.

A yacht is slowly heading towards the Haojiang River.

At the bow of the boat sat the two Jiang brothers.

With a cigar dangling from his lips, Jiang Tianyang gazed at the triangular pier receding into the twilight and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother, back in the day, Dad led the Chaozhou brothers to conquer the world at the Triangle Wharf. You were only eight years old then."

Thirty years have almost passed in the blink of an eye; time really flies!

Jiang Tiansheng seemed to be enjoying this rare atmosphere of brotherly respect and humility.

"Heaven provides for us, and each generation has its own responsibilities."

Today, Hung Hing is considered one of the leading triads in Hong Kong. Circumstances dictate our actions, and often we have no choice in the matter.

Jiang Tianyang was deeply moved.

"Now I understand my father's good intentions back then, why he insisted on sending me to Thailand."

He was farsighted and understood the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Even if our Chiang family doesn't survive this crisis, we'll still have a place to stay in Thailand.

"You don't need to be too pessimistic."

By the way, how's the investigation going with Zhang Hanshou and his associates in Thailand?

"Zhang Hanshou is a confidant of the mayor of Songkhla. The kinds of bad things they do are nothing new in Thailand."

There's no point in investigating him!

Jiang Tianyang took a puff of his cigar and then added.

"However, we can put a lot of effort into working on Hong Wengang."

I understand that this guy is involved in half of the human smuggling cases on Hong Kong Island.

If it all comes out at once, I don't know how the political department will handle it!

Jiang Tiansheng nodded: "One fat man like Li alone cannot put any pressure on the Political Department in terms of public opinion."

I can already imagine the scene where the Governor of Hong Kong, under pressure, abolishes the Special Branch.

However, don't delay with Fatty Lai any longer. Just wait for the Wo Shing Wo side to make their move, and you'll have him skinned alive!

Jiang Tianyang wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right. We Hung Hing raised a dog, but in the end, it wagged its tail and went to guard the door for the foreigners. This kind of trash should have been killed long ago!"
"Brother, I don't know why you saved him in the first place. If you had let him die at the hands of Wo Luen Shing, none of this would have happened today."

As they spoke, the yacht slowed down.

Not far away, a ferry was quietly moored in the sea, waiting to pick them up.

Jiang Tiansheng stood up and gave his younger brother a deep look.

He immediately said, "Tianyang, I'm entrusting Hung Hing to you during this time!"

I'm going on vacation to Europe, and I hope that when I come back, Hung Hing will be a completely different place.

……

Kowloon Walled City.

Tin Hau Temple Square in Dongcheng District has become a gathering place for many long-time residents of the former Walled City.

They watched Xiao Hui standing in front of the incense table with longing eyes, and when they heard that the projects under Hengyao Real Estate would be completely suspended, they couldn't help but get angry.

"Dear neighbors, it's not that Mr. He wants to give up the resettlement project he's working on."

As you all know, Mr. Ho disrupted the rules of the Hong Kong Island housing market by building resettlement housing for everyone in Lok Fu Estate!
Now these real estate tycoons have teamed up with foreigners and taken action. They've brought Mr. He to jail and fabricated a baseless charge against him!

Tomorrow, Hysan Development will come to the Walled City to acquire the land, and the unfinished resettlement housing in Lok Fu Estate will also face demolition.

When the demolition of the walled city is complete, everyone may have to squeeze into low-rent housing. I want to ask everyone, are you really willing to accept that?

With Xiao Hui's encouragement, someone immediately jumped out to agree.

"Fuck your mother! We've suffered for most of our lives in the Walled City, and finally Mr. Ho gave us a hand so we could live like human beings. Now these foreigners and real estate tycoons are going to jump out and sabotage us again?"

"Just tell us what Mr. He plans for us to do! We won't let these real estate developers have an easy time either!"

"Yes! There are thousands of residents in the walled city. I don't believe the cops can lock us all up!"

"Rather than living like a ghost, it's better to be locked up in a prison cell, at least they provide food!"

“That’s right! We’ll fight to the death for Mr. Wei this time. What did he do wrong?”

Just because they helped us poor wretches?!

……

What people fear most is finding hope in a desperate situation, only to watch helplessly as that hope is taken away.

Ho Yiu-chung was accused of murder, which led to the suspension of construction work at Heng Yiu Properties, with the residents of the Walled City being the most affected.

We have a stake in this; it's highly relevant!
These people are now like a pile of dry tinder doused in kerosene; a single spark could ignite a massive fire.

As night fell, amidst the fervor and anger of the crowd in Kowloon Walled City, the situation at the other stalls of the He Luen Shing Restaurant was no better.

Chuanbao drove himself to a shack area in Diaojingling.

This used to be his territory, but because there was really no money to be made in the Diaojingling area, this territory had been abandoned for many years.

"Idiot!"

A series of loud knocks rang the tin door of a shack, and immediately a dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man poked his head out of a nearby window.

Upon seeing that it was Chuanbao who had come in, he quickly came over to open the door.

"Old Ding, you...you came in person?"

Chuanbao walked into the house and found it to be in a mess, with not even a proper place to sit.

Sha Biao quickly ran to the bedside, moved aside the pile of clothes that hadn't been washed yet, and awkwardly smiled at Chuan Bao, gesturing for him to sit down.

Chuanbao didn't refuse and sat down directly.

Sha Biao is the leader of the gang. His wife died in childbirth in the squatter area when she gave birth to their second son because they couldn't afford to go to the hospital. He was left to raise a son and a daughter.

For years, he has been working at the night market in Kwun Tong, trying to find a spot to sell fish balls. He pays a token amount of a few dozen dollars a month to the triad for tea, barely enough to support his family of three.

Misfortune seems to target the unfortunate. Sha Biao, having worked tirelessly to support his two children, is now seriously ill and doesn't have much time left.

There are countless members like him in labor-intensive triads like Wo Luen Shing.

After Chuanbao sat down, he glanced at Shabiao's sallow face.

Where are your two kids?

"The older one is still helping me at the night market, and the younger one is learning to read at the night school near Po Leung Kuk. He should be back soon."

Chuan Bao nodded, then asked, "Do you know that the head of our company, Lian Sheng, has been taken to jail by the police?"

Sha Biao was immediately taken aback: "This... Old Ding, is it alright?"

Chuanbao sighed softly.

“This time, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) is serious. They fabricated a baseless charge against him for murder.”

"By the way, I remember your name was on that relief list that the leader made last time?"

Sha Biao immediately fell silent and lowered his head.

After thinking for a long time, he finally responded.

"When I went to the hospital for a check-up last time, the doctor said my liver was completely cirrhotic and I had at most six months to live."

When you came to see me tonight, I knew what I had to do.

I have a worthless life, and I am already deeply grateful to receive the Dragon Head's favor at the end of my life.

"I'll do anything you ask!"

Sha Biao has said everything he needed to say, and Chuan Bao knows that next he should talk about the resettlement allowance.

"Silly Biao, I'll have someone send 300,000 over later. I can also make a promise to you on behalf of the gang."

If anything happens to you, the organization will take responsibility for raising your two children to adulthood.

I heard that your son is very good at his studies, but it's such a waste that he only attends the community night school and learns a few words.

He should at least go out and study Band 2, then focus on his studies, make something of himself, and never have to live in a shantytown again!
