Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 145 How to Complete the Mission

Han Bin walked out of Qiankun Film Company in a daze and returned to Kwai Tsing in dejection.

The narrow eyes are quite strange:
"Brother, didn't you go to borrow money from Liang Kun?"

Why won't they lend you money?

Han Bin shook his head.

The narrow-eyed man frowned and said:
"Even if they lend you money, they shouldn't treat you like this."

"I have never seen you so dejected."

"What nasty things did Liang Kun say?"

"I'm going to find him!"

Han Bin said speechlessly:
"What do you want with Ah Kun?"

Narrow-eyed man said confidently:
"I'm going to confront him!"

"Even if a deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. Besides, we're allies in Hung Hing."

"If he won't lend you money, then he won't lend you money. We can't let him insult you."

Han Bin was baffled:

"Ah Kun insulted me?"

"When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

A sharp look caught his eye:
"Isn't it Liang Kun who insulted you?"

Han Bin shook his head:
"no!"

The narrow-minded man was horrified:

"Big brother, you confessed your feelings to Van and failed?"

Han Bin angrily said:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

A closer look revealed even more confusion:

"It's neither this nor that, what's going on?"

Are you feeling unwell?

Han Bin was both annoyed and amused:
"Stop talking nonsense."

"Ah Kun didn't lend me money, not because he didn't have any, but because he couldn't lend it to me!"

The narrow-eyed man said speechlessly:
"Just take these excuses with a grain of salt; it's obvious they don't want to lend it to you."

"Our business is guaranteed to make money."

"I only lent him money for two days."

"That's wrong!"

"The word that Leung Kwan always talks about is money, money, money!"

"Borrow his money for two days, then pay him back 22 million."

"Making two million in two days, even robbery can't be done that fast."

"He actually won't lend it to you?"

"Has he changed his personality?"

Han Bin shook his head:
"You don't need to ask anymore, Ah Kun did nothing wrong!"

"This money really shouldn't be lent."

A narrow-minded person doesn't understand:
"Big brother, we need to be careful of Liang Kun. He talks a good game, but when it comes to actual things, he chickens out."

"Nothing is truly sincere these days."

"Only money matters."

"To see if a person is sincere, you have to look at their money!"

"Now that you need money, if he really lends it to you, then it's for real."

"Otherwise, everything is fake!"

Han Bin stared intently at the narrow-eyed man:

"You've gained a lot of knowledge in just a few days."

The narrow-eyed man was quite pleased with himself.

“I’ve been getting along well with Koo Kwok-wu of Hung On in Kowloon City these past few days.”

"Although that guy has a bit of a temper, he's a straightforward man, and we get along very well."

"I even watch them make movies."

"By the way, everyone's saying that Handsome Kun is a scoundrel."

"When other people make movies, they have to pay the actors."

"The entire Gu family appeared on screen to help him make the movie. From Uncle Zhong down to Hong An's younger brothers, they even brought their own meals."

"That guy, Liang Kun, is really ruthless!"

Han Bin quickly interrupted him:
"Stop talking nonsense."

"If Ah Kun were black, would the Gu family still help him make movies?"

"I know about this. Ah Kun saved the Gu family's life and gave them a large piece of land."

"Even though the Gu family members participated in this movie, they still owe Ah Kun a favor."

Narrow-eyed eyes strained to open wide:

"Brother, what kind of logic is this?"

“When did Leung Kwan, who lives in Mong Kok, start extending his reach into Kowloon Walled City?”

Han Bin sighed heavily:

"Didn't you say you were good friends with Gu Guowu? Don't you know that their family recently expanded their territory?"

The narrow-eyed man said inexplicably:
“That was taken from Dongxing and Sanlian by Hong An.”

"Besides, it's not just Hong An's family that has a share; it's all the gangs surrounding these two organizations."

Han Bin sneered:
"Then who do you think was responsible for the downfall of Long Fei and A He?"

A thought struck him, and he looked at Han Bin in disbelief:

"You mean this was made by Liang Kun?"

Han Bin reprimanded:
"Liang Kun, Liang Kun, how dare you call me that?"

"Call me Brother Kun when you see me from now on!"

"You don't understand anything, you don't know anything, and you just start spouting nonsense."

Where does your stance lie?

"Brother Kun is our staunch ally, how dare you criticize him?"

"If you offend Liang Kun, you will not only lose an ally when you encounter trouble in the future, but you will also gain an enemy."

The narrow-eyed man was bewildered:

"What exactly is going on?"

Han Bin felt exhausted. This silly younger brother said that Gu Guowu had a bad temper, but his temper was not gentle at all.

They started spouting nonsense without even understanding anything.

This is so disappointing.

"You need to be more composed in the future. You're the leader of Hung Hing after all. Don't act like a loudmouth like Si Jiu."

"Back then, Long Fei plotted against Sanlian and Hong An, and he even wanted to kill Lin Sen..."

"You also said you went to film a movie with Gu Guowu, you know the plot, right?"

The slender-eyed girl nodded obediently.
"Know!"

Han Bin said coldly:
"If Ah Kun hadn't intervened, the Gu family's fate would probably have been pretty much the same as what's written in the script."

what? !

In an instant, his narrow eyes opened to a height he had never reached before.

"How can this be?"

Han Bin sneered:
"impossible?"

"How is this impossible?"

"If it weren't for Ah Kun's mediation, do you think Long Fei would be easy to deal with?"

"If Ah Kun hadn't secretly provided intelligence, would Chen Guozhong have found Long Fei and Sanlian's warehouse so easily?"

"If it weren't for Ah Kun's behind-the-scenes maneuvering, do you think Long Fei, one of the Five Tigers of Dongxing, would have been so easily destroyed?"

"The Gu Shouzhong family made a movie to repay a favor to Liang Kun."

"When Leung Chun-pong and others made movies, it was also to repay Leung Kwan's favor."

"You remember it for me!"

"When you see Ah Kun in the future, call him Brother Kun."

"How dare you be so disrespectful! I'll beat you up!"

The person with the narrow eyes was completely dumbfounded:

"Clam?!"

Han Bin sighed:
"I'm in a bad mood because I'm still scared!"

"If it weren't for Ah Kun, he would probably be dead without a burial place if he had fallen into this trap."

"Understand!"

Narrow-eyed man shuddered and retorted defiantly:

"Big brother, aren't you praising Handsome Kun too much?"

"Yes, he's capable and shrewd, but how can he compare to you?"

Han Bin couldn't help but curse:
"idiot!"

"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world!"

"I'm not an omniscient and omnipotent god."

"How do you know that Ah Kun is inferior to me?"

Narrow-eyed man immediately fell silent, though he was still resentful.

He idolized Han Bin and said that Liang Kun was better than Han Bin, but Xi Yan was the first to disagree.

Han Bin slumped onto the sofa:

"It's so dangerous!"

"Luckily, I was the first to ask Ah Kun for money. If I had been the last to ask him, I would have lost a lot of money."

The narrow-minded man couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, what's going on?"

Han Bin sighed:

“When I went in, I explained the situation, and Ah Kun said he had money, but he wanted to hear Ah Dao’s opinion.”

The narrow-eyed man's brows furrowed even more deeply.
"Then he definitely won't lend you money."

"When did the boss have to ask his underlings' opinions when he wanted to do something big?"

Han Bin said solemnly:
"From now on, show some respect to Ado when you see him."

"Respect Ado as you would me!"

what? !

The narrow eyes are no longer dry:
"Why?"

“I respect Brother Kun, after all he is the head of Hung Hing Mong Kok. I won’t lose face if I respect him.”

"But if we respect Ado, then let's forget about it."

“Ah Dao is the junior. He is Liang Kun’s right-hand man and Liang Kun’s little brother.”

"Do I respect a junior colleague?"

"If word gets out that, how will I, with my narrow eyes, ever be able to live with myself?"

Han Bin angrily cursed:
"What does it matter whether you're a gangster or not?"

"If it weren't for Adao's news, I would have been torn to pieces!"

"He saved the lives of the three of us brothers."

"Do you think we should respect him or not?"

The narrow-eyed creature suddenly stood up on its own.
"When have the three of us brothers ever owed anyone a favor?"

"Everything was achieved through the fists of us brothers."

"What right does Wang Dao have to save us?!"

Han Bin said expressionlessly:
"When Ah Kun asked Ah Dao for his opinion, I thought the same as you: if you don't want to lend money, just say so directly. This roundabout way is annoying." "Do you know what Ah Dao said?"

Narrow-eyed shook his head; how could he know what Wang Dao was talking about?
"No matter how earth-shattering his words are, they still can't change the fact that Liang Kun won't lend you money."

Han Bin chuckled coldly:

"You have a unique perspective."

"That's right, he definitely didn't lend me any money."

"However, his first words were that the professor was being watched by Interpol, and the Hong Kong police station was cooperating with Interpol."

A narrow-minded person was startled and moved:

"impossible!"

"How can this be?"

"Our business dealings with the professor are a top secret!"

"Did you tell Handsome Kun, boss?"

Han Bin glared at him:
"It's confidential, would I tell Ah Kun?"

The narrow-eyed man exclaimed in horror:
"How did he know?"

Han Bin said slowly:
"It wasn't Ah Kun who knew; it was Ah Dao who received the information."

The person with narrow eyes was even more confused:
"How did he know we were making a deal with the professor?"

Han Bin angrily said:

"Don't you have a brain?"

“Ado didn’t know at first that we were making a deal with the professor.”

"But he saw me borrowing money from Ah Kun, and I wanted to borrow 20 million... Even a pig would know who I was going to do business with given the professor's arrival!"

He suddenly realized what was happening and cursed himself for being an idiot.

Han Bin wiped the sweat from his brow:
"It's so dangerous!"

“If Ah Kun hadn’t said he would listen to Ah Dao’s opinion, he would definitely have lent me those twenty million.”

"Only you and I know that 20 million is not enough."

"Our goal is to borrow 40 million."

"If we were to offer ourselves up to the professor while he's being watched by the police, it would be like handing the cops a head and a credit."

"Even if we escape from the cops, we'll be on the run for the rest of our lives!"

Xi Yan also wiped the sweat from his brow.

Han Bin was right; this was 40 million borrowed.

Pay with your head?

Borrowing from legitimate wealthy people is fine; at most, they'll use legal means to urge you to pay. But if you borrow money from a shady friend, you might as well pay with your life!
At this point, it's no wonder that even the best of friends are the most ruthless towards you.

The logic is simple: someone lends you such a large sum of money without hesitation, and you end up losing it all.

Who would let you off the hook?

I was terrified!
Still scared!
With sweat dripping down his face, he said:

"Big brother, I was wrong. From now on, I will definitely call Liang Kun 'Brother Kun' when I see him, and I will respect Wang Dao as much as I respect you."

Han Bin took a while to calm down before saying:

"Our luck is on our side."

"After this is over, remember to remind me... I absolutely must go to the Three Saints Palace to fulfill my vow."

The narrow-eyed man nodded repeatedly:

"It is indeed the blessing of Guan Yu, the Holy Emperor!"

"We've been through hell and back."

For a moment, the two brothers were speechless.

After a long while, Han Bin finally spoke:
"Go get me a bottle of red wine. I'm feeling really unsettled and want to have a drink."

The shrewd-eyed man quickly said:
"I'd like to have a drink too."

The two sat facing each other, drinking, and felt increasingly melancholy!

"Hey, you two are drinking?"

The two looked up and were both taken aback:
"Adao?!"

Han Bin and Xi Yan quickly stood up, and said happily:

"Ado, come sit down and drink with me."

Wang Dao sat down as instructed and said to the two of them:

"You haven't contacted the professor, have you?"

Han Bin shook his head:
"Am I crazy to contact him?"

Wang Dao nodded slightly.

"It's good that we haven't contacted him."

The observant person quickly asked:

"Ado, did you hear something?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I'm relieved to see that you two are both alright."

“I just received a call from Chen Guozhong, asking Ah Zhen to go to the police station to report to the scene.”

Han Bin was taken aback:
"Isn't this... quite normal?"

Wang Dao said expressionlessly:
"Chen Guozhong told me that there is a big event at the police station today."

"Interpol has already set its sights on a criminal gang of professors from the United States."

"The O-Division, airport special police, and marine police have joined forces to cooperate with Interpol's activities."

"We must wipe out all the Hong Kong arms dealers who do business with the professor!"

The Han brothers jumped to their feet, exchanged a glance, and were momentarily at a loss for what to do.

After a long pause, Han Bin asked:

"Did Chen Guozhong say this?"

Wang Dao nodded:
“Yes, Chen Guozhong told me personally that he wanted me to tell Ah Zhen so that she could make preparations.”

“After leaving the company, I went to TVB Jade and answered the phone there.”

“I only came back after I took Ah Zhen to the police station.”

The corner of his narrow-eyed mouth twitched, filled with lingering fear.

Han Bin's brows were furrowed tightly; his usual shrewdness had returned.

"wrong!"

"Why would I specifically tell you this top-secret information?"

“You are Ah Kun’s right-hand man in Hung Hing.”

A sharp look caught his eye:
"Yes, Ado, why did I specifically tell you this?"

"Could it be that they are testing you?"

Wang Dao chuckled immediately:
"What are you testing me for?"

"I don't work in this industry."

"It's actually very simple. Chen Guozhong or his superiors just need to spread this news throughout Hong Kong quickly."

The Han brothers were dumbfounded:

"How can this be?"

Wang Dao sighed:

"Chen Guozhong's requirement for Ah Zhen is that this special interview must be broadcast tonight!"

"Chen Guozhong is aware of my special identity."

"That means they hope I can spread this news throughout Hong Kong as quickly as possible!"

The narrow-eyed man asked, puzzled:
"Why?"

Wang Dao calmly said:
"I might know the reason."

The two brothers looked at him at the same time, and Han Bin sighed:
"Ah Dao, I know you're smart, but I'm really overwhelmed with problems right now. Tell me about them quickly."

The King's Way was calm and peaceful:
"Interpol is not Hong Kong's police force; they are not responsible for Hong Kong."

“The police stations are the police of Hong Kong, and they have an obligation to ensure the stability of Hong Kong.”

The narrow-eyed man asked, puzzled:
"What does it mean?"

A glint of light flashed in Han Bin's eyes:
"Huh, is that so?"

"Then I think I understand what's going on."

The person with narrow eyes was extremely anxious:
What kind of riddles are you two playing?

Han Bin sneered:
"It's just a struggle!"

"The battle between Interpol and local cops."

"Arresting arms dealers is a good thing in itself, but arresting them under the guidance of Interpol is not a good thing for the local police station."

"Are arms dealers so easy to catch?"

“If the operation is poorly planned, some will slip through the net, and the harm to Hong Kong society will be extremely terrible.”

"Take Johnny Wang for example. That guy fought wits with the police for over a year. How many people died or were injured during that time?"

"It's already this difficult to deal with Johnny Wang, let alone wipe out all the arms dealers in Hong Kong!"

"Alas, greed truly blinds one to reason."

"If the professor hadn't offered such a huge benefit, I would never have done such a thing in Hong Kong."

"Some rules really can't be broken!"

Wang Dao seemed to be deep in thought:
"Binney, the professor is scavenging weapons in Hong Kong, he's definitely not buying them from you alone, is he?"

Han Bin spoke the truth:

"I won't lie to you, he ordered ten million US dollars worth of goods from me, so I just borrowed twenty million Hong Kong dollars from Ah Kun."

Wang Dao gives a thumbs up:
"The professor only brought twenty million US dollars, and he placed an order for half of it with you. Benny, you're amazing!"

Han Bin was taken aback:
"what?"

"You even know how many US dollars the professor brought?"

Wang Dao felt baffled:

"Chen Guozhong asked me, 'What's the problem?'"

Han Bin let out a long sigh, sounding quite exasperated.
"Is this now an open secret?"

Wang Dao shook his head:
"Not yet, but tonight."

He suddenly laughed.
"Binny, would you like to expand your network?"

Han Bin was taken aback:
"what do you mean?"

Wang Dao sneered:
"If the professor wants to collect enough goods worth 20 million US dollars, I estimate he'll have to contact all the arms dealers in Hong Kong."

"It might not even be enough."

“We now know that the professor is being watched by Interpol, the Marine Police, the Special Police, and the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. Even their communications signals are being monitored.”

"What do you think will happen to those who do business with them at this time?"

The narrow-minded man blurted out:

"The losses will be absolutely devastating."

Snapped!
Wang Dao snapped his fingers:
"Then tell me, if someone were to spread the professor's situation, would that person be respected by others?"

Without hesitation, the shrewd-eyed man replied:
"Of course! This is a life-saving favor!"

Han Bin's eyes lit up instantly, and he seemed to come alive:
"Ado, I'm here to make a call!"

Wang Dao said softly:
"If they ask about your source, just tell them to keep an eye on tonight's police training special program."

Han Bin laughed loudly:

"Ado, you're really something!"

Wang Dao chuckled to himself.

Did Chen Xinjian ask him to keep watch?
What kind of wind is being released?

Why not just spread the intelligence throughout the arms industry?

Why make it so complicated!
