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

Chapter 144 Protests and Demonstrations? We wouldn't even be dogs!
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many.

Arsenal Street, Wan Chai; Police Headquarters Building.

Lee Man-pin, the supervisor of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), sat in his office with an unpredictable expression.

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the office door, followed by He Guozheng's voice coming from outside.

"Li sir, what do you need me for?"

"Come in and talk!"

Li Wenbin put down the action plan in his hand, and then the door opened. He Guozheng, with a faint smile on his lips, saluted Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin simply waved his hand, too lazy to even return the courtesy.

“Tell me, why didn’t the police even notify me when they issued the order to sweep up the nine districts of Luen Shing?

Instead, they directly summoned you to a meeting and asked you to issue action orders to the three teams of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau!
"Is the boss planning to make me retire? Are you going to take over the OCTB management position?"

Li Wenbin has always had a bad temper, and faced with his questioning, He Guozheng had no choice but to suppress his smile and patiently explain.

"Li sir, what makes you say that?"

Asking me won't help, why don't you just ask the top leader in person?

“If Cai Yuanqi were willing to see me, would I need to call you over for questioning?”

"He Guozheng, what on earth are you guys doing! Do you even realize what the police force will face after you've cut off the lifeline of tens of thousands of members?!"

Li Wenbin slammed his hand on the table, startling He Guozheng.

He Guozheng took a deep breath and could only patiently explain.

"Li Sir, perhaps that's why Brother One doesn't want you to put yourself in danger."

The phrase "removing the Wo Luen Shing brand" was personally uttered by the top leader.

As the vanguard, if we, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), fail to control the situation properly, we will face immense public pressure.

I'll take responsibility then, which will save you from ruining your career, Inspector Lee.

Do you think you're qualified to take responsibility?

Li Wenbin sneered, threw out the action plan, and then spoke.

"You've worked for the O-Division for so many years, you don't need me to teach you how to deal with triads, right?"
You could just arrest the head of Wo Luen Shing and those sycophants, pin some vague charge on them, and that would be fine.

Seize and shut down all the legitimate businesses under Wo Luen Shing!
Ho Kwok-ching, let me give you a piece of advice: Hong Kong Island still has laws, and the law is not something that the British can just dictate!
"The way you're doing this is completely smearing the police force and disregarding the law. None of you will be able to bear the consequences!"

He Guozheng's face also fell.

He felt he had already given Li Wenbin enough face; on the surface, he was Li Wenbin's deputy, but in reality, he was a confidant of the Commissioner of Police, Cai Yuanqi.

The police department has already given instructions on how to do it. When did it become his place as the head of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau to give orders?

"Li sir, I advise you to understand your own identity!"

You are a supervisor at the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), so there's no reason for you to speak up for triads.

Our Hong Kong Island police force has over 30,000 officers; I refuse to believe we can't handle a Wo Luen Shing company!

"He Guozheng!"

Li Wenbin slammed his hand on the table again and stood up.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, but I want to remind you that you are a police officer in the Hong Kong Island Police Force, not a lackey of the British!"

Your primary responsibility is to maintain law and order on Hong Kong Island and protect the personal safety and property of citizens.

"You're so eager to serve the British, I'm afraid you'll cause a huge mess and they won't be able to protect you!"

He Guozheng coldly replied: "Just because I know I'm a policeman, and it's only natural for a policeman to steal!"

"Good good!"

Li Wenbin said "good" three times in a row, knowing full well that the matter was no longer up to him to decide.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't handle this situation, I'll take Cai Yuanqi to the Security Bureau and sue him!"
You'd better get rid of the Wo Luen Shing name completely, or I'll risk losing this Chief Superintendent job and drag you to the countryside to guard a pond!

"I, He Guozheng, have a clear conscience before Heaven and Earth!"

"Li Sir, as a supervisor of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), you're actually timid and hesitant when dealing with triads. I think you should just retire early!"

After He Guozheng finished speaking, he tugged at his suit and tie.

He said in a deep voice, "Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, Officer Li, I have to go out and do my job."

The police have ordered that all the leaders of the Wo Shing 9th District branch be questioned in jail tonight!

These two people, you say your piece, and I'll give my answer.

Li Wenbin was explaining the consequences and responsibilities to He Guozheng, but He Guozheng insisted on the ironclad rule that a policeman must obey orders to catch thieves, leaving Li Wenbin with no room for argument.

After He Guozheng left, Li Wenbin took a deep breath.

He calmed his agitated mood, then turned and walked toward the solitary cell where He Yaozong was being held.

At this moment, Ho Yiu-chung was lying on a metal bed in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, resting with his eyes closed.

The small classroom had as many as three surveillance cameras and a full range of recording equipment.

wow-

The iron door to the private cell was opened, and Li Wenbin glanced at the subordinate who opened the door before speaking.

"You guys get out first!"

"Excuse me, Officer Lee, the police department..."

Li Wenbin remained silent, merely observing his subordinate with a cold gaze.

He immediately told the subordinate to swallow his words before he could finish, and, clutching the keys, obediently retreated to the outer corridor.

He Yaozong turned to the side, glanced at Li Wenbin standing at the door, and then closed his eyes again.

"He Yaozong! Can you sit up and talk?"

"cannot!"

It wasn't that He Yaozong was impersonating Li Wenbin; it's just that before he entered this cell, his belt, leather shoes, buttoned jacket, and anything with hard objects on it had been taken away.

He wasn't interested in talking to Li Wenbin while pulling up his pants.

Li Wenbin didn't say much, but stood in front of He Yaozong and spoke directly.

"I'll use my phone to make a call in a bit and warn you and the people from Luen Shing not to cause any trouble!"
There are many suspicious points regarding your case. I will meet with the Hung Hing people tonight to try my best to get you out as soon as possible.

Don't cause trouble. If things get out of hand, you really won't be able to get out!

He Yaozong chuckled and pointed to the surveillance camera above.

"Li sir, what are you talking about?"
With three surveillance cameras pointing at me, the best way to prove my innocence is to do nothing right now!

Don't waste your time, I won't make that call.

"I don't want to talk to anyone here except the gang's lawyer!"

After saying that, He Yaozong indeed remained silent.

Li Wenbin frowned, but he still had to continue asking.

"I've heard rumors that tonight, a large number of residents from Kowloon Walled City will begin to leave the city in a grand procession."

Tell me, what are they trying to do?

He Yaozong remained silent; he had the right to remain silent, as any word he uttered could be used as evidence in court.

"Didn't you want to see a community lawyer? When are your lawyers and the lawyers from Lian Sheng coming over?"
Do you need me to introduce you to a lawyer? Didn't you used to prefer hiring Chen Tianyi, that top lawyer? Why didn't you ask him to do this this time?

He Yaozong remained silent.

Li Wenbin could no longer contain himself.

He immediately roared, "He Yaozong! What the hell are you trying to do?!"

He Yaozong opened his eyes, his gaze icy cold.

But he still managed to speak.

“Li sir, you’ll have to ask your own police force about that.”

"My business was doing just fine, and then you guys dragged me into this for no reason. Now you're asking me what's going on? Don't you find that ridiculous?"

"Then make the call! Tell them and Luen Shing not to cause trouble!"

"What does this have to do with me! I'm warning you, don't make things up without evidence."

I'm just a legitimate businessman. Don't try to label me like that. I might sue you for defamation!

As a supervisor at the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), Lee Man-bun had seen plenty of stubborn and unyielding gangsters.

But among all the gang leaders, Li Wenbin had only ever seen one person like He Yaozong who was so reckless and arrogant.

Even when Four-Eyed Dragon was imprisoned and Li Wenbin stepped in to ask him to maintain order at the New Bureau, Four-Eyed Dragon maintained a cooperative attitude.

He Yaozong's repeated attempts to embarrass Li Wenbin finally made him completely angry.

"Fine! Keep being stubborn!"
Once the police pull down your and Luen Shing's flags and put your triad's dragon-head cane in the Peak Museum, let's see if you can still keep up your stubbornness!

"You're so stubborn, you're doomed!"

……

After Li Wenbin angrily left the cell, he returned to his office, only to find Fei Sha guarding the door.

"Fei Sha, what's up?"

"Officer Li!"

Fei Sha snapped to attention and saluted, then lowered his voice.

"Li Sir, are you really going to wipe out the Wo Luen Shing Society?"

Li Wenbin glanced at Fei Sha, then pushed open the office door.

"If you have something to say, come in and say it!"

Upon entering the office, Li Wenbin sat down at the desk and then looked at Fei Sha.

"I know you and He Yaozong have always had a good relationship. Go to the jail later and try to persuade him!"

Tell those people under Wo Shing to behave themselves!

Fatty Sha shook his head like a rattle drum.

"Li sir, I was just about to talk to you about this!"

The residents of Kowloon Walled City have all left and are heading straight for Lee Gardens!

Li Wenbin's expression changed drastically in shock.

"What are they planning to do?!" "I don't know, but it's certain that they're using the guise of a protest to cause trouble at the Li family's place."

Li Wenbin pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Is the leader someone from Wo Shing Shing?"

"No! This was a demonstration spontaneously organized by the residents of the Walled City."

"Li Sir, should we from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau go and provide support?"

"It's not a club activity, why bother with all that?"

Upon hearing that it wasn't a club activity, Li Wenbin's expression softened considerably.

He glanced at Fei Sha again and spoke.

"Go and persuade He Yaozong. It wasn't easy for him to climb to his current position. He's been single-minded in his efforts."

Tell him not to act impulsively, or he'll end up with a bloody mess, embarrassing both the police and himself, which will benefit no one!

"Yes sir!"

……

Outside Lee Gardens in Wan Chai, a group of excited Walled City residents had already gathered.

Dongguan boy sat on a minibus parked by the roadside, opposite him was Sha Biao, whose face was ashen.
"You're just a fool?"

"Boss, that's me!"

The man from Dongguan nodded: "I heard you have late-stage liver cancer?"

"That's right, a worthless life, not many days left to live."

"Alright! I think the old men in Kwun Tong have already told you everything that needs to be said. Now I'll tell you some things I shouldn't say!"

Dongguan guy took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but when he saw Sha Biao's sallow face, he put the lighter away.

"Listen up, the police are going to take down our Wo Shing brand and ruin the livelihoods of tens of thousands of our Wo Shing brothers!"

If you do this job for the gang, the brothers in the gang will raise your two children to adulthood.

I can't guarantee what will happen to others, but if I, a Dongguan native, survive this ordeal, I'll make sure your two children recognize me as their godfather. What I have, they will have too!

Sha Biao's expression was solemn: "Boss, I've already received the money, so I have no regrets."

"Just tell me what I should do next."

"If things get chaotic here, Ho Kwok-ching from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau will definitely come over to do some work."

"You don't need to worry about anything, just drive that van parked on the side of the road straight at He Guozheng!"

After saying that, Dongguan Boy patted Sha Biao on the shoulder again.

"Think it over. You can still back out if you want."

If you really don't have the guts to do it, you can bring it up with me now.

There are a dozen or so other gang members in the same situation as you, waiting to take on this job!

Sha Biao gave a wry smile and then replied.

"Save your breath, boss. I don't even give myself the chance to be arrested and brought to court by the police."

If I run over He Guozheng and kill him, I'll drive to a quiet place and commit suicide!

"Since living is suffering anyway, being able to contribute to the club is already worth it!"

Dongguan Boy didn't say anything more, he just gave Sha Biao a thumbs up.

Then, Stuart got out of the car and walked towards Causeway Bay Plaza.

Dongguan boy also got off the bus, but suddenly bumped into a man outside the minibus.

"Fuck your mother, Dongguan bastard, what the hell are you doing?"
"Just dragging people over and yelling won't embolden the Li family!"

It was only then that Dongguanzi realized that the person who came was Fly from Tang Lok Street.

"Fly, why aren't you guarding your spot in Mong Kok? What are you doing here?"

"Damn it! The cops have already shut down the place, what am I supposed to guard?!"
Why haven't you made a move yet? Are you waiting for the Li family to invite you out for a late-night snack?

Only then did Dongguan Boy realize that Fly was followed by several younger men.

Each of these young men was carrying a snakeskin bag, which was rattling loudly, clearly indicating that it was full of Molotov cocktails.

The Dongguan guy couldn't help but frown.

Do you know what we're here for tonight?
"Who knows, we might get arrested and thrown in jail. Don't blame me for dragging you into this!"

"I'm afraid you'll get implicated?"

The fly pointed at its own nose and laughed.

"Let me tell you, when Hua Ge and I were working for Yao Ge, Yao Ge was just a lowly 49er in Sham Shui Po!"

Now that such a big thing has happened to the club, you're telling me to hide and be a coward? I, Fly, can't bear the shame!

"It is precisely because you are the leader's confidants that I cannot..."

Before Dongguan Boy could finish speaking, a loud clang was heard not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of angry shouts and curses rang out at the entrance of Lee Garden.

Dongguanzi was alarmed, knowing that the people brought by Fly had already begun to take action.

"Fly! You dare to act under the guise of a gang!"

"Who told you I was acting under the guise of a triad?"

Fly sneered: "These are the brothers from the Yi-character gang of the Number Gang. Your godfather paid them to come and play the role of neighbors."

"They'll throw the Molotov cocktails and then escape by boat. Do you think I'm stupid?"

The residents of the walled city were already harboring resentment.

Upon seeing someone instigating trouble, the situation immediately became chaotic.

Someone has already taken weapons and tried to pry open the gates of Lee Gardens.

Some of the more agile ones were already preparing to scale the wall and get inside.

Before long, the gates of Lee Garden were opened, and hundreds of neighbors rushed in, shouting that they wanted to find out the core members of the Lee family and give the residents of the walled city an explanation.

Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, Dongguan Boy immediately pulled Fly back onto the minibus.

"Listen, you don't need to worry about the rest!"

Something big is going to happen here soon. If you're going to follow the leader's instructions, don't cause him any trouble!

I can assure you that everything I've done was personally arranged by the boss!

At this moment, in the master bedroom of Li Yunlian's residence.

Assistant Jenny rushed in without even knocking.

"Chairman Li, you'd better leave through the back door!"
The residents of the Walled City have gone mad! They're vandalizing Lee Gardens, shouting that they want to find you and give them an explanation!

Li Yunlian's face turned ashen.

"Isn't this our Li family's private property? Why do I have to go through the back door!"

Did you call the police department? They swore they would protect the Li family's safety!

"Chairman Li, do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"
The police had promised to protect the Lee family's safety, but they also hoped that the residents of the Walled City would escalate the situation, so that they could use the pretext of a riot to suppress the Wo Luen Shing.

There are quite a few reporters from newspapers outside, but we didn't invite any reporters here!

Li Yunlian couldn't help but let out a sigh of sorrow.

“Call David immediately and tell him that if anything happens to anyone in our Li family, he shouldn’t blame me for completely breaking ties with them!”

I don't want any knighthood he promised; I just want all members of the Li family to be safe and well!

……

Outside Lee Garden, the rioting residents of the Walled City had completely lost control.

When people gather together, they blindly follow the crowd. When they see someone daring to throw Molotov cocktails at Lee Gardens, they dare to rush into the residential area and vandalize it.

"Damn it! The Li family lives in a villa of over a thousand square meters, yet they won't even give us a pigeon coop!"
Mr. He finally built resettlement houses for us, but they are now colluding with the land administration to take back the land.

If I have nowhere to live, the Li family won't have a good life on Hong Kong Island either!

"Damn it! Nobody's going to have a good life!"

"Let's go to Hysan Development later and burn down that skinning real estate company!"

……

The police, who were there to maintain order, finally arrived late, after Lee Garden had descended into complete chaos.

This time, they made quite a show of force; even the Flying Tigers sent helicopters over.

He Guozheng got out of a police van and, without saying a word, immediately ordered his men to take their weapons and enter Lee Garden to disperse the crowd.

As several tear gas canisters were fired, the residents of the walled city who had been gathered at the entrance could not withstand the pressure and were the first to be dispersed.

He Guozheng couldn't help but sneer and glanced at Liao Zhizong from Group A.

"A bunch of rabble, do they think they can cause trouble in Hong Kong?"
Inspector Liao, make the arrests when necessary, arrest as many as you can!

The Commissioner gave instructions that the police stations don't have enough cells to hold people. Even if the Police Force had to book all the love hotels in Yau Tsim Mong, they couldn't let these scoundrels run rampant!

Liao Zhizong's expression couldn't help but look rather unpleasant.

"Inspector Ho, these people are all residents of Kowloon Walled City."

There are so many reporters behind us, maybe we should let the CID handle it. We, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), shouldn't get ourselves into trouble!

"What residents? Inspector Liao, do these people look like ordinary residents?"
You just focus on doing your job; I'll take full responsibility for any problems that arise!

Liao Zhizong gritted his teeth, but in the end, he still shook his head.

"No way! I eat at O-District, and I absolutely will not harm any citizen without Inspector Lee's permission!"

He Guozheng was taken aback, then said in a deep voice, "Does this mean that even the First Brother can't give you orders now?"

"If you get Brother One to persuade Inspector Lee to give the order, I won't utter a single word of nonsense!"

"it is good!"

He Guozheng roared and then walked to the front of the line.

He beckoned to the group of O-Division members and said, "As the commander-in-chief of this O-Division operation, I hereby formally announce the removal of Liao Zhizong from this operation!"

"The rest of you, come with me inside to get him!"
