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

Chapter 223 "223" Using a borrowed knife to kill, Li Wenbin is the one who is schemed against.

The demolition work in Kowloon Walled City was still underway, and Lin Yao took a moment to go and take a look.

They discovered that Xin Yi did indeed have some experience as a contractor, and he and Liang Xiaotang worked together quite well.

Moreover, the demolition was carried out very quickly, and the outer buildings of Kowloon Walled City have already been completely demolished.

As for the residents living here, those who were able to identify the homeowner naturally received a substantial amount of compensation.

In addition, there's Kwok Sai-wing's house in the village of Tseung Kwan O.

It's not very big, but it's enough for a family of three to live on.

This was quite attractive to the residents of Kowloon Walled City.

Therefore, it is quite easy to solve.

However, dealing with the remaining vendors, those who built makeshift tin shacks, and those fellow Daoists was not so easy.

Guo Shirong also made a special trip here today, and he was quite satisfied with the area where many houses had been demolished.

"Ah Yao, you're really fast!" Guo Shirong said with a smile.

Lin Yao waved his hand: "Brother Guo, this would only happen so quickly if you had paid the compensation properly!"

"But what about the rest of them?" Guo Shirong frowned as he looked at the guys holding banners and causing trouble. "These guys are getting a bit greedy!"

Lin Yao sneered and said, "I've already given them enough face. Otherwise, why would they want compensation? If that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Yao then called Xin Yi over and said directly, "Xin Yi, should you handle this or should I? If I handle it, my methods might not be so gentle!"

Xin Yi, smoking a cigarette, said somewhat irritably, "These bastards are hopeless!"

The terms Lin Yao offered for the demolition were exceptionally generous, no matter where you looked.

However, some people are insatiable and greedy, and no amount of advice, even after repeated attempts, has had much effect.

His boss, Tornado, assigned him this task, which put him in a rather difficult position.

However, this matter cannot be handled by Lin Yao. Xin Yi is well aware of how ruthless and vicious that guy is.

It's not that they're afraid he'll kill someone, it's that they're afraid Lin Yao will use some tricks that will make it more than just them unlucky.

So Shinichi said directly, "Leave this to me!"

"How about this, don't say I'm not giving Tornado face. You take a group of people and set up a construction company for the city, under the name of my Huamao Group. Right now, the real estate market is booming, and the company needs a lot of people to work!" Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "Consider it me finding them a job!"

In fact, Lin Yao didn't like using Hong Kong workers. After all, he was a capitalist, and he was quite annoyed by these workers who would strike and sue the Labour Department at the drop of a hat.

However, there is still a way! Lin Yao doesn't mind spending a little money to solve these troublesome guys!

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, Xin's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Really?"

"Of course it's true, but you'll have to deal with these people!" Lin Yao said irritably, "Don't blame me for being ruthless if you obstruct the start of construction!"

The machinery rented by the construction team is a huge expense, and we simply can't afford to delay it.

Lin Yao could only offer them a small perk.

As for the subsequent construction work, considering how cooperative Shin-ichi is, it's not impossible to contract it out to them. After all, it doesn't matter who does the work.
Xin immediately perked up: "No problem, I'll take men and deal with them right away!"

As he spoke, Xin Yi called over a few trusted confidants and charged directly at the protesting men. He then pulled out his belt and began to whip them mercilessly, making these greedy men cry out in pain.

Seeing Lin Yao's methods, Guo Shirong laughed and said, "Everyone says you, Immortal Yao, are a big capitalist, but it seems you're actually quite humane!"

Lin Yao said somewhat speechlessly, "Brother Guo, please don't laugh at me! I had no other choice!"

Even with the help of the tornado, the demolition of the walled city was not an easy task.

There weren't any shootings, but there were still quite a few conflicts.

Anyway, that kid Liang Xiaotang has led several fights.

With someone offering kind help now, things have become much easier.

Lin Yao beckoned over Liang Xiaotang, whose face was covered in dust, and asked, "Is the project progress on schedule?"

Seeing that Xin Yi had almost finished sending everyone away, Liang Xiaotang smiled and said to Lin Yao, "Boss, at this pace, things should be on time!"

"However... there is something I'm afraid I need to let you know!"

Lin Yao frowned and asked, "What is it?"

“There are many gang warehouses in the walled city, and now that they’re being demolished, many people are unwilling to move their belongings!” Leung Siu-tong said with a frown, “There are quite a few contraband items in there!”

"Hey, didn't we already give them money?" Lin Yao scolded irritably.

Liang Xiaotang said somewhat speechlessly, "Some people have taken the money, but they still refuse to move the warehouse!"

"You don't want to, huh?" Lin Yao sneered. "Then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lin Yao had already contacted all the gangs and even personally invited the leaders of several warehouse gangs to meet with him through flattery, promising them benefits in person.

But to my surprise, there are still people who outwardly comply with my demands while inwardly disagreeing with me.

Since they've done things this way, it's no wonder Lin Yao resorted to underhanded tactics.

However, Lin Yao wouldn't stir up this hornet's nest himself; the police force would be the most suitable option. Within the Kowloon City Police Station, Lin Yao only knew one person: Chief Inspector Li Wenbin of the Major Crimes Unit.

Furthermore, Lin Yao discovered that Li Wenbin and his father also had unusual identities.

His father, Li Shutang, can be said to be among the first winners after the reform of the era of the Four Great Detectives.

He is currently the highest-ranking Chinese police officer.

Even Raymond is a step below him.

The position of assistant director is already at the top of the pyramid.

Therefore, Lin Yao planned to curry favor with Li Wenbin and hand over this "great credit" to him.

……

Kowloon City Police Station, Major Crimes Unit.

Generally speaking, this type of department is the busiest and also the place where promotions are fastest.

Therefore, the elite of the police force come from the three departments: Major Crimes Unit, Anti-Triad Unit, and Anti-Drug Unit.

The number of cases we encounter every day is countless.

Although Li Wenbin has been promoted to chief inspector, he still leads his team on the front lines, which shows that he is a very pragmatic person.

Just as I was about to go investigate the case, the phone rang.

Then they heard an excited officer's voice: "Boss, big case!"

Li Wenbin frowned and asked, "What case are you so happy about!"

The officer's breathing was a little rapid on the phone: "Boss, I'm at the Kowloon Walled City construction site right now, and we've found several warehouses!"

"Huh? Why did you go over there?" Li Wenbin asked curiously.

"Someone reported that a lot of contraband was found, so they sent us to investigate!" the officer said immediately.

Li Wenbin thought for a moment and said, "Stay put, I'll be right there!"

Li Wenbin led his men and immediately rushed to the construction site in Kowloon Walled City.

Generally speaking, construction sites are places where unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter.

However, Lin Yao had already made arrangements so that as long as they wore helmets, the police could come and go as they pleased.

Li Wenbin was stunned when he saw the safety helmet that Liang Xiaotang brought over.

The police officer behind him impatiently yelled at Leung Siu-tong, "Why are you wearing a helmet? Can't you see we're here to investigate a case? Get out of the way!"

Leung Siu-tong wasn't angry. He directly addressed the police officers, saying, "Officers, it's not that I'm not letting you in, but this is a construction site. If something happens, our boss won't be able to explain himself no matter how many mouths he has."

"We've cooperated with the police and stopped the demolition work, so please don't make things difficult for us! If you don't want to take it with you, that's fine too, just sign this waiver!"

The officer was about to start swearing, but Li Wenbin stopped him.

He said directly, "They're doing this for our safety, so bring them all!"

The officers had no choice but to put on their safety helmets before entering the construction site.

Leung Siu-tong didn't work today; she just accompanied Lee Man-bun on his investigation.

After reuniting with his men, Li Wenbin personally went to the warehouse and took a look. His expression immediately turned serious.

After coming out, he asked Liang Xiaotang, "Which triad does each of these warehouses belong to?"

Liang Xiaotang shrugged and said, "How would we working-class folks know about this? That's your police's business!"

Li Wenbin said with a serious expression, "But you are the ones managing this area now!"

"No, Li Sir, please don't flatter us!" Leung Siu-tong was already prepared: "According to the regulations of the Construction and Building Department, we do not have any management rights over this area."

Li Wenbin's face immediately turned ugly. He never imagined that one day he would be used as a tool.

Even Li Wenbin suspected that the guy who called the police to report finding the warehouse and contraband might be one of Lin Yao's men.

This is deliberately putting themselves in a dangerous situation!
However, given Li Wenbin's personality and his level of professionalism, he couldn't ignore this matter.

That's why Li Wenbin was so angry.

Madlin Yao, you're such a dog!

"Achoo! Who's cursing me?!" Lin Yao, who was drinking in the bar, suddenly sneezed.

Since the incident had already occurred, Li Wenbin couldn't ignore it. So, he came up with a plan to directly expose the warehouse found at the Kowloon Walled City construction site. However, he didn't act rashly.

After all, this matter involves too many organizations and covers too wide a scope, making it beyond his ability to handle.

We need stronger superiors to intervene, or to make those gangsters back down.

Li Wenbin can be said to have given them ample time.

These gangsters might be able to ignore Lin Yao's warnings, but they can't ignore the police's warnings, can they?
