Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 154 "154" Lin Yao's Trump Card

Lin Yao admitted that he had underestimated the strength of these Japanese soldiers.

He actually pulled this stunt on himself.

It really caught him off guard.

However, Lin Yao's counterattack soon began.

However, the other party was clearly prepared, as none of the reporters who usually had a good relationship with Yang Siwen came.

Yang Siwen learned about the situation and found that the bans were issued by higher-ups.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao burst into laughter in exasperation: "Fine, fine, so you're playing games with me like this?"

Lin Yao had previously thought of giving these cops some face, but it seems he doesn't need to now.

Qiu Gang'ao and Tian Yangsheng were seething with anger and were ready to teach these cops a lesson.

Moreover, Lin Yao is not only using the power of the gang this time, but also preparing to bring out some of the official power he has contacted.

For example, Zeng Guoshan, the leader of the Citizens Party, whom I had previously contacted through Ma Zhiquan, and Raymond, whom I had previously contacted.

Upon hearing Lin Yao's request for help, Zeng Guoshan readily agreed.

It could even be said that Zeng Guoshan had been waiting for Lin Yao to ask him for a favor before bringing Lin Yao into the same camp.

"Ah Yao, I heard you've run into some trouble?" Zeng Guoshan said with a smile.

Lin Yao nodded: "Yes, Mr. Zeng, we've offended some Japanese people, and they're putting pressure on the police. I'm having a real headache right now!"

Zeng Guoshan said with a smile, "Oh, is that what it is? I'll go and put in a good word for you! I have some connections in the Provincial Administration Commission!"

Lin Yao was overjoyed upon hearing this and said to Zeng Guoshan with a smile, "Then I thank you in advance, Mr. Zeng!"

“I have high hopes for you, young man! Get to know us better in the future; many people in our Citizens Party want to get to know you!” Zeng Guoshan said directly.

Lin Yao quickly replied, "Of course. By the way, I have a casino opening next month at the Twin Towers Hotel in Macau. I wonder if Mr. Zeng would be free to come and cut the ribbon?"

Lin Yao immediately returned the favor, saying to Zeng Guoshan.

From the moment he contacted Zeng Guoshan, Lin Yao felt that the old man intended to use him to launder money.

However, both sides had just made contact and were testing the waters at the time.

Lin Yao now felt it was time to play this trump card, so he added another layer of leverage.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Guoshan's tone changed noticeably: "Oh? It seems your business has expanded again, Ah Yao? It's even reached Macau now?"

Lin Yao laughed and said, "Just messing around, Mr. Zeng, you flatter me!"

"I'm not really suited to go, let's have Quan go instead!" Zeng Guoshan said after thinking for a moment. "But I'll definitely go and play a couple of rounds if I get the chance!"

Political heavyweights like these certainly don't show their faces easily.

However, there must have been a reason for sending Ma Zhiquan, and both sides got what they wanted.

So Lin Yao smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Zeng!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yao sneered and dialed Raymond's number again.

Police matters should naturally be handled by the police themselves.

After Huang Yuanbin took Raymond's place, he constantly ostracized those whom Raymond had promoted.

To say that Raymond had no ideas is simply impossible.

However, Raymond is quite cunning, so getting him to help won't be an easy task.

Therefore, Lin Yao decided to meet him in person and chose the Peninsula Hotel as the venue.

Raymond arrived on time, but his style was swift and decisive: "I know what you wanted to say, let's skip the formalities!"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "That's perfect, I don't like saying those polite things either."

Lin Yao lit a cigarette for Raymond and said, "You should know better than anyone what that bastard Huang Yuanbin has done!"

“That doesn’t mean I have to help you!” Raymond said casually, puffing on his cigarette.

“Indeed!” Lin Yao nodded. “However, after the Joint Statement is signed, shouldn’t the police force have to choose sides?”

Raymond's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "What do you mean?"

"You should know that Chen Jiaju handled the Guanchaiba incident with the mainland, right?" Lin Yao said directly, "I have a good relationship with Yang Jianhua, the section chief of the International Relations Department!"

“Hmph, I can also contact the other side through Ka-Kui!” Raymond said with a smile.

Lin Yao didn't refute, but instead asked, "Are you sure?"

Raymond immediately fell silent. Although Chen Jiaju was a master at solving cases and was incredibly hardworking, his emotional intelligence and political acumen were practically nonexistent.

Trying to contact the other party through Chan Ka-kui is simply wishful thinking.

Lin Yao is different; I heard that the mission's success was largely thanks to him.

Moreover, Guanchai Ba was originally arrested by him, and he was generously sent to the mainland for trial.

Not only that, but I've heard Lin Yao also has some business dealings in mainland China. If we get in touch with him, there might actually be a chance. After weighing the pros and cons, Raymond said to Lin Yao, "This was ordered by the top leader; I don't have a good solution!"

Lin Yao said with a laugh, "What? The top boss ordered an operation against a nobody like me, a mere branch leader of Wo Luen Shing? That's giving me way too much credit! We both know what's going on, so let's not play these games! It's just one sentence: you help me, I help you!"

Raymond thought for a moment and said, "How can I guarantee that what you're saying is true?"

"It's very simple. I can introduce you to her next time Section Chief Yang comes!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

After the Guanchaiba incident, Yang Jianhua contacted him several times, or rather, tested him several times.

Therefore, Lin Yao was certain that the other party definitely wanted to contact him.

If a high-ranking police officer like Raymond recommends him, it might even earn him some credit.

Lin Yao would naturally not let go of the chance to win twice.

Raymond pointed at Lin Yao and said, "You better not lie to me!"

"How could that be!" Lin Yao spread his hands and said, "We've been working together for so long, haven't I handled everything perfectly for you that time?"

Raymond nodded: "I'll bring this up for you during the meeting!"

"Then thank you very much, Raymond Sir!" Lin Yao smiled and raised his glass.

……

While Lin Yao was using his methods, Huang Yuanbin was not idle either.

Huang Zhicheng, in particular, was extremely excited.

He even called over two undercover agents and said to Adi and Liang Xiaotang, "You two have been following Lin Yao for so long, haven't you really found any criminal records against him?"

Adi and Leung Siu-tong said helplessly, "Inspector Wong, we don't know if Lam Yiu knows our identities, but every business we've ever been involved in is a legitimate one, an industry that has been licensed by the government. We have absolutely no way to deal with it!"

Adi stated directly, "I've been staying at the construction site the whole time. What illegal activities could there be at a construction site? I'm busy to death every day!"

Leung Siu-tong said speechlessly, "I'm in charge of the electronics factory business, and I still have no idea what he's up to? It's completely unbelievable!"

Huang Zhicheng frowned and said, "Is this bastard really so invincible?"

"By the way, Inspector Wong, I've heard something recently!" Adi suddenly said to Wong Chi-shing.

"What is it? Speak quickly!" Huang Zhicheng said hurriedly.

Adi thought for a moment and said, "I heard that someone has been selling goods in Lin Yao's place recently, which has greatly angered Lin Yao. I just don't know if it's related to his men!"

Huang Zhicheng immediately became excited: "Are there any more specific details?"

"It should be Chen Dong's group's territory!" Adi thought for a moment and said, "They were among the earliest to follow Lin Yao!"

Huang Zhicheng nodded: "I understand!"

After saying that, Huang Zhicheng turned and left, completely ignoring Adi and Liang Xiaotang.

Leung Siu-tong grumbled somewhat discontentedly, "Damn it, they only call us to the rooftop for a chat and to get information when they need something, but when they don't need anything, they don't even make a single phone call, and they don't even care how we're doing in Wo Luen Shing!"

Adi frowned and said, "Stop complaining!"

"Am I wrong?" Leung Siu-tong said unhappily, "Being an undercover agent not only means living in constant fear, but the income is also less than a tenth of what a gangster earns. If I had known I was going to become an undercover agent, I would have preferred to work for Lam Yiu!"

"Are you planning to betray us?" Adi said with amusement.

Liang Xiaotang said calmly, "Back then, we were just students, full of enthusiasm! Now it seems things aren't so simple!"

Adi sighed and said, "Do you think we have a choice? Getting off now is the same as dying!"

Liang Xiaotang said irritably, "At worst...at worst..."

"Don't be silly. If we're exposed, even if Lin Yao is magnanimous enough not to kill us, do you think the Wo Shing family rules will let us off the hook?" Adi waved his hand and said, "Let's focus on our own business!"

……

Jimmy is still extremely busy, especially with matters on his territory.

Police shut down numerous nightclubs, bars, saunas, and other establishments, leaving their henchmen idle and wandering the streets all day.

The problem is that if there are no jobs, it means no income.

In the short term, things are alright, after all, Lin Yao has a lot of prestige.

However, if this goes on for too long, the problem becomes difficult to resolve.

Many restaurant owners, nightclub owners, and bar owners who cooperated with them also said that they had been harassed by the police during this period and had lost a lot of business.

If things continue like this, who would dare to cooperate with us?

By then, all the bosses will have run away, and they might not even be able to keep their own territory.

So Jimmy said to Lin Yao, "Yao, are you sure all these connections you've made will work?"

"Don't worry, your henchmen will still be paid!" Lin Yao said with a sneer. "Once we get through this period, things will be much easier!"

"I hope so!" Jimmy said with a hint of helplessness.
