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

Chapter 401: The "401" Political Department Disbanded
Lin Yao has been out for a month or two now, and the situation in Hong Kong has changed quite a bit.

Lin Yao's business is doing fine.

ATV's Yang Siwen, Huamao's Xu Wenbiao, Fenghua International's Zhuo Yu, and others have all managed Lin Yao's companies very well. In addition, with the Hong Kong Telecom that he acquired earlier, Lin Yao's business is now quite impressive.

The four major families, second only to those in Hong Kong, cover all aspects of life.

However, the network of relationships on the other side has quietly changed.

For example, when Lam Yiu was returning home, the Hong Kong government and police announced the disbandment of the Special Branch.

Outsiders may not know the prestige of the Political Department, but many people know what the Political Department represents.

The dissolution of the Special Branch signifies the beginning of the decline of British influence in Hong Kong.

However, this is only what's on the surface; there are many more underhanded tactics being employed behind the scenes.

In a private club, a secret organization in Hong Kong, the Brotherhood, reunited.

Those sitting here are all Englishmen, or Englishmen's lackeys.

This included Richard, the former head of the political department.

However, starting today, Richard will be stepping down.

The English side found a new person to take over Richard's mission.

“Richard, MI5 is very dissatisfied with your work!” a blond, blue-eyed young man said arrogantly to Richard.

Richard said calmly, "My work doesn't need other people's evaluation!"

This blond, blue-eyed young man is the one who will succeed Richard in his position.

His name is Hawk Williams, and he's a rather radical young man, as you can tell from his attitude toward Richard.

Hawke sneered and said, "But as your successor, I still think you're too weak!"

Richard shook his head and said with a smile, "Whatever makes you happy! Anyway, you're the one who'll be having a headache next, not me. Besides, I've already resigned from MI5, so you have no right to criticize me!"

"Your Williams family has no right to pretend to be noble in front of me!"

Upon hearing Richard's words, Hawke's face immediately darkened.

At this moment, the organizer of the fraternity, a middle-aged Englishman, clapped his hands and said, "Alright, gentlemen, now is not the time to watch you play games!"

"As Hong Kong's return to the mainland draws ever closer, our tasks are becoming more and more numerous. Now is not the time for infighting; we must quickly lay landmines in all sectors."

The plan to plant mines in Hong Kong was a strategy that England had already devised long ago.

The British were unwilling to hand over Hong Kong to the mainland so easily, so they naturally made some underhanded moves.

This is the job they need to do now.

Richard remained silent, knowing that his intelligence network, the Eye of Detection, was already in operation.

At that point, let alone the MI5, as long as it's in Hong Kong, even the CIA and KGB combined wouldn't be a match for it.

However, Richard still needs to know where they will plant the nails.

That will make it easier for Lin Yao to remove them one by one.

That's why I attended today's meeting.

It must be said that England, as a troublemaker in the world, is exceptionally good at doing bad things.

All sorts of despicable and outrageous ideas have emerged one after another.

Especially Hawke, who recently joined and took over Richard's position. This guy himself came from MI5 and knows quite a few dirty tricks.

"I remember you guys often mention a guy named Lin Yao. Is there anything wrong with him?" Hawke suddenly asked.

“This guy is definitely suspicious!” Cai Yuanqi said directly. “I’ve discovered that many neutral members of the police force have turned into mainland supporters after coming into contact with him!”

"We must be wary of this; the mainland has already made preparations in Hong Kong!"

Cai Yuanqi, as a candidate for the next prime minister, is quite wary of Lin Yao.

Moreover, when he mentioned the guys who had close contact with Lin Yao, he practically named Li Shutang outright.

Hawke said with some surprise, "This Lin Yao has good connections with the police? Wasn't he supposed to be a gangster?"

Cai Yuanqi shook his head and said, "At the beginning, no one knew his true identity or that he had been in contact with high-ranking police officers for a period of time! By the time we realized this guy was problematic, it was too late!"

"I plan to clean up everyone who has been in contact with Lin Yao after I take office!"

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple!” At this moment, another brotherhood member shook his head and said, “If you go too far, it could easily provoke a backlash from the mainland!”

Hawke stroked his chin and said, "In the end, the most important one is still Lin Yao, right?"

"Yes!" Many people who had contact with Lin Yao nodded in agreement: "This guy is now probably the second richest man in Hong Kong after the four major families! His businesses include media, real estate, and telecommunications, and he has a lot of influence!"

"Taking action against him is quite difficult! More importantly, someone granted him a security company license in the first place, which means he has a group of very strong security personnel under him!" "This is also the most important reason why we can't directly eliminate this guy!"

Hawke asked curiously, "What about assassination?"

"I've tried several times, but I've failed each time!" someone echoed, shaking their head.

Hawke nodded: "He's definitely a troublesome guy!"

"Could you give me his information? I'm planning to study this guy carefully!"

The fraternity organizer advised, "The information is fine, but don't push this guy too far. He's not rational; he's capable of anything if you push him too far!"

"If this guy causes riots in Hong Kong, no one can afford to take the responsibility!"

Lin Yao is no ordinary nobody, and he's probably the same way back in mainland China.

This made the members of the fraternity always hesitant to act towards Lin Yao.

However, Hawke became increasingly interested in Lin Yao.

……

"So, these guys are starting to plot how to deal with me?" Lin Yao said with amusement after hearing Richard's report.

Richard nodded: "Especially that Hawke, his whole family works for MI5 or MI6, he's practically a family of spies!"

"Spies from powerful families? I've really learned something new!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

However, he wasn't worried at all; the Englishmen's tricks were always the same old thing.

Lin Yao wasn't afraid of them at all; if pushed too far, he wouldn't hesitate to explode directly with them.

If this sparks a chaotic conflict in Hong Kong, the British government itself will not be able to withstand it.

The tide turned when England backed down.

"That's roughly the situation, but with the support of these brotherhoods, Li Shutang probably won't be able to stay in his position as the top leader!" Richard shook his head and said.

Lin Yao said calmly, "His personality is not suited to be a section chief!"

"It's estimated that he has already pinned his hopes on his son, Li Wenbin."

Richard said directly, "I heard that you've started cooperating with military industrial groups in the United States?"

“Yes, GM and Boeing are both quite interested in the drones I have, and I also have a deep partnership with Purdue Pharma in the United States!” Lin Yao didn’t hide anything from Richard, who was completely loyal to him.

Moreover, Richard himself was an intelligence officer, and the more accurate the intelligence, the more he would gain.

Lin Yao said directly to Richard, "For now, Leung Siu-tong is enough for Hong Kong. You need to go to Indonesia first and help Tsui Kit!"

“That double agent?” Richard said with a smile, “Both the CIA and the KGB are looking for him, as well as the whereabouts of that miniature nuclear bomb.”

Lin Yao said with a smile, "It seems that quite a few people are still not giving up on this matter!"

"Alright, that's enough for today. We need to speed up the investigation of the previous formations, especially in Indonesia, where they're currently fighting against the government forces. We don't want Xu Jie to be unable to carry out his duties!"

Richard chuckled and said, "Xu Jie is quite clever; he's managed to get involved with Tama, the biggest gang leader in Pattaya. I reckon that Giant God International in Indonesia might just drag the gangs to the front lines!"

"Most of the Ether Club's Happy Powder has been sold to Indonesia. What about that kid Su Xingbo?"

Lin Yao shook his head and said, "I don't know what's wrong with the Ether Society. I tried to contact that kid, but he just told me he was safe."

"But there's no need to worry about this guy's safety, otherwise he would have asked me for help long ago!"

Richard nodded: "When I go to North America, I'll also need to make contact with the Ether Society. I feel their intelligence capabilities are quite strong!"

"You can handle these things!" Lin Yao nodded and said, "The disbandment of the Political Department will have a significant impact and will likely cause some turmoil!"

Richard laughed and said, "It's already had an impact. Cheng Yiyan has been restless lately. I guess the superior who was in contact with him has been ousted in this turmoil. Now is the perfect opportunity for you, boss, to make your move!"

Lin Yao nodded: "I understand!"

After seeing Richard off, Lin Yao looked at the pile of documents in front of him, gave a wry smile, and sighed, "I'm destined to be a workaholic!"

After finishing his work, Lin Yao returned home.

Fang Siwei and Le Huizhen, two women, are getting their faces molded.

Luckily, Lin Yao punched him.

"Damn it, you two are acting like ghosts!" Lin Yao said irritably.

"Oh, when did you get back?" Yue Huizhen leaned close to Lin Yao's face, sniffed him, and nodded, saying, "It's alright, I didn't smell any other women's perfume!"

Lin Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Although I just got back, I've been on the plane for so long that I don't smell at all! You're wasting your breath trying to smell me!"

"Oh ho, so arrogant?" Yue Huizhen wiped off her face mask and looked at Lin Yao with interest, saying, "Let me see your stash!"
