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

Chapter 184 "184" The Butterfly Effect, Revenge Fund Activated
Lin Yao said calmly to the group, "Gentlemen, what brings you here?"

“Mr. Lin, there’s a murder case we need to discuss with you. Please come back with us!” Cai Yuanqi said directly.

Lin Yao scoffed and said, "You think I'll just go back with you because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?"

"What murder case? I've never heard of it! If there's nothing else, you can leave now. Xiao Fu, bring the security guards up and see the officers off. I have work to do, so I won't see you off!"

Lin Yao wasn't going to give Cai Yuanqi and his ilk any face and immediately kicked them out.

After all, Lin Yao's identity is different now; he's no longer the small-time boss and gangster he used to be.

If they wanted to investigate them, Lin Yao wouldn't give them any face at all without a suitable excuse.

Cai Yuanqi's face was quite ugly; he hadn't expected Lin Yao to be so disrespectful.

With a grim face, he said, "Mr. Lin, I've heard that you had some conflicts with the Tsukamoto Group! Now that the president of the Tsukamoto Group is dead, we need to investigate you. Please cooperate with us!"

"Hmph!" Lin Yao scoffed disdainfully, "How many people has that old devil from the Tsukamoto Group offended? You're asking me to investigate? Do you think I, Lin Yao, am easy to bully, or do you think you're so great?"

"Don't tell me I don't know anything. Even if I did know, what could you do if I didn't tell you?"

Cai Yuanqi was immediately put in an awkward position by Lin Yao, and said coldly, "Then don't blame me for not offending you!"

"Try it?" Lin Yao sneered, directly addressing Cai Yuanqi, "Let's see if you can walk out of my company today! Do you really think I'm still your old lackeys?"

As they were talking, Xiao Fu, Li Changjiang, and the security personnel from Lin Yao's company arrived and blocked Cai Yuanqi and his group inside the office.

And don't forget that Lin Yao has a security company under his command, and these people are legally armed.

If a fight really breaks out, the police that Cai Yuanqi brought won't be enough to wipe out Xiao Fu and his gang!
Immediately, Cai Yuanqi's subordinates' expressions changed, and they looked at Xiao Fu and the others with nervousness!

“Wow, Mr. Lin, please don’t be nervous!” The foreigner who hadn’t spoken until now said with a smile, “We don’t mean anything by it. I’m Richard from the Political Department!”

"The reason we approached Mr. Lin this time is entirely because the death of Tsukamoto Shio of the Tsukamoto Group was too suspicious. We found this thing at the scene, and we suspect it's related to terrorist activities! It's purely for safety reasons, and there's absolutely no other intention!"

“Political Department? Richard?” Lin Yao glanced at the foreigner, nodded, and said, “Oh, I see. Why didn’t you say so earlier? Just ask me whatever you want! I have a meeting later, I don’t have time to play house with you guys at the police station!”

Cai Yuanqi felt frustrated, but there was nothing he could do about Lin Yao.

Richard smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, what is the reason for the conflict between the Tsukamoto Group and you?"

"How would I know? That old devil Tsukamoto Shigeo probably wants to team up with the Imamura Group to bully others!" Lin Yao said calmly. "However, I cleared up the misunderstanding with Mr. Imamura Hiroji of the Imamura Group and signed a security contract! As you know, Hong Kong hasn't been very peaceful lately!"

"As for the Tsukamoto Group, I don't know. Perhaps if they had signed a security contract with us, this wouldn't have happened!"

Richard asked sharply, "Mr. Lin, is your security company really just a security company? Do you have any other jobs? Like... an assassin?"

"How could that be!" Lin Yao said with a smile, "My security company is currently based in Tseung Kwan O. If Mr. Richard has the approval from the Political Department, he can go and inspect at any time. I guarantee that everything is legal and compliant!"

Richard nodded: "I understand, we will investigate then!"

"By the way, Mr. Lin, have you ever heard of the assassin 'Seraph'?"

“Absolutely not!” Lin Yao said, stroking his chin. “This Seraph sounds like a good person!”

“Mr. Lin, please don’t say such things. The other party is an assassin! He’s hardly a good person!” Richard said with a smile. “But if Mr. Lin doesn’t know that, then so be it. We’ll be leaving now!”

"Take care, I won't see you off!" Lin Yao said indifferently.

After leaving Lin Yao's company, Cai Yuanqi asked, somewhat puzzled, "Richard, why didn't you just arrest Lin Yao?"

Richard rolled his eyes and said, "Cai, are you playing dumb with me? In that situation just now, do you think you could have forcibly taken Lin Yao away? You're someone from the Political Department, don't talk nonsense!"

“The Special Branch isn’t all that powerful in Hong Kong either. This Lin Yao has a lot of influence, even deep connections within the police force! And his connections within the government are also very complex!”

Clearly, Cai Yuanqi had just come out of the Political Department and hadn't yet reacted.

"I'm sorry, sir!" Cai Yuanqi apologized immediately.

Richard said directly, "You're being transferred out of the Special Branch. You need to reintegrate into the police system. Don't be so impulsive. An impulsive person rarely rises to a high position!"

“I understand!” Cai Yuanqi immediately accepted the answer humbly.

"Alright, let's go apply for the documents first, then we'll go investigate this security company!" Richard said to Cai Yuanqi.

……

Lin Yao, on the other hand, never expected that it would attract the attention of the Political Department.

The Hong Kong Police Force's Political Department is actually a subordinate department of the British MI5 intelligence agency. On the surface, it maintains Hong Kong's security, but in reality, it's just doing espionage.

Hong Kong is known as the spy capital.

Many people around the world have established spy agencies here.

The English are even more outstanding.

Moreover, when the four chief detectives stormed the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), the British police selected a group of officers from among those who had accepted bribes, granted them amnesty, and then recruited them into the Special Branch.

It is estimated that Cai Yuanqi was recruited at that time.

However, he has now become a senior detective in the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, which suggests that the foreigners are playing a very big game.

This time, they've set their sights on me, and it's probably inseparable from the Japanese.

Especially the Tsukamoto Group. A Japanese man was able to thrive in Hong Kong, which probably meant that there were British foreigners behind him. No wonder the death of Tsukamoto Shigeo, this old Japanese man, attracted the attention of the political department.

"Damn it, it seems like I've stirred up a hornet's nest!" Lin Yao thought, stroking his chin. "This kind of thing didn't seem to happen in the original movies. It looks like it's caused a butterfly effect!"

With that in mind, Lin Yao dialed Chen Guozhong's number.

"Inspector Chan, I heard you've been transferred to the West Kowloon Police Station?" Lin Yao immediately offered his congratulations. "Then I must congratulate you first!"

"Did you need something?" Chen Guozhong asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Let's talk in person, it's not convenient to talk on the phone!" Lin Yao said directly, "Same place, I'll be waiting for you!"

Since the Political Department had intervened, Lin Yao didn't know if his phone was being tapped, so he didn't say much.

Chen Guozhong soon arrived at the fast food restaurant and met Lin Yao.

"You're in such a hurry to see me, it must be something important?" Chen Guozhong asked directly.

Lin Yao nodded and lowered his voice, saying, "Your immediate superior is investigating the death of that old Japanese devil, Tsukamoto Shio!"

Chen Guozhong said calmly, "What does this have to do with me? That was done by the Seraphim!"

Chen Guozhong's attitude suggests that he thinks, "What does arresting Lu Xun have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?"

Lin Yao said with a smile, "That's right, that's the attitude! But I still have to tell you, this time it has attracted the attention of the Political Department. You know what the Political Department does, right?"

"I know!" Chen Guozhong said, somewhat surprised. "But what does this have to do with the Political Department?"

"I suspect the Tsukamoto Group has connections with those foreigners in England!" Lin Yao said casually. "Just letting you know, don't use the 'Seraph' alias anymore."

"When you went to kill Tsukamoto Shigeo, you didn't leave any evidence, did you? If you did, tell me, and I can take care of it for you!"

Chen Guozhong said confidently, "No, I investigated him for a month in advance in order to take him down!"

"That's good. Anyway, only a few of us know about this, so we just need to keep our mouths shut!" Lin Yao nodded.

Chen Guozhong said with a sneer, "The Tsukamoto Group's revenge fund has been activated. Our police have discovered that quite a few assassins have already secretly entered the country. It seems they are all after this one hundred million US dollars!"

"Money can be a powerful motivator!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "It seems your Major Crimes Unit and Interpol will be quite busy these days!"

Chen Guozhong nodded: "I understand what you're saying. That's all for now!"

"Then take care!" Lin Yao nodded and said.

After Chen Guozhong left, Lin Yao said to Xiao Fu and Li Changjiang, "I don't think the foreigners will give up so easily. Check the training camp in Tseung Kwan O yourselves, and make sure they don't find any fault with us!"

"Let the veterans who haven't yet obtained their identities go to Kowloon Walled City to hide!"

Li Changjiang nodded: "I understand, I'll go back and make the arrangements right away!"

Then Lin Yao turned to Su Xingbai and asked, "How's it going with those police officers I gave you last time?"

“Liu Jianming has agreed, but he needs our help to break free from Han Chen’s control!” Su Xingbo said directly, “I think this kid is interesting, and he’s from the Criminal Intelligence Department, which will be very useful to us!”

"That's good. As for Han Chen's matter, go tell him, and I'll take care of it for him!" Lin Yao said directly.

Su Xingbai nodded: "I reckon this guy will be very happy!"

"Alright, you and Xiao Fu should be careful these days. Those mad dogs in the Political Department, be careful not to get targeted by them, and avoid them!" Lin Yao instructed.
