Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 152 It’s hard to gain weight by eating alone
Le Huizhen was so busy that it was past 11 p.m.

When they got home, the two had long lost their interest in playing cards and fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next day, Wang Dao still woke up earlier than Le Huizhen and, as usual, checked the day's intelligence system, immediately finding some interesting information.

① Liu Jianming was arrested by police officers arranged by Chen Guozhong when he attempted to assassinate Huang Zhicheng with a gun, and Mary's plan to assassinate Huang Zhicheng failed.

②The Governor received a report from the Chief of Staff late at night, flew into a rage, and called the garrison commander of the Fog City to question him, only to be dismissed of responsibility with a nonchalant attitude. The Governor was furious.

③ To demonstrate the prowess of the police force, the Commissioner of Police issued a promotion order, elevating Chan Kwok-chung of the Kowloon Police Station to Chief Inspector. This was actually an attempt to shirk his responsibility for the complete annihilation of Interpol.

④ The special envoy returned to Chongqing today and instructed James, who was to take up a position in the political department of the police station, to gather as much intelligence as possible about his hometown, and to enter his hometown through the gang if necessary.

⑥ Li Fu received the firewood and water for this month from Wang Dao. His parents were very surprised and ordered Li Fu to listen to the boss and work hard for the company.

⑦ Li Fu was busy building a large villa for his parents, but his parents tried every means to make him get married first.

⑧ The special envoy's actions alerted their hometown, and they began discussing the Hong Kong issue.

⑨ Wharf Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa are preparing to flee, aiming to seize dozens of times their initial investment and leave Hong Kong! The host can manipulate this at will.

⑩ In a certain unit in Repulse Bay, there is a bearer bond, which was a bribe from a certain boss to a foreigner. It was originally intended to be handled through his subordinate, but an accident occurred to the subordinate, so the bearer bond has become a lost item, and the host can use it with confidence.

Wang Dao sorted through the information and nodded in satisfaction.

These messages are very useful.

After finishing breakfast and heading to work, Wang Dao said to Le Huizhen:
“Brother Zhong has done such a big thing, I reckon he’ll be promoted soon. I’ll invite him over today to celebrate.”

Le Huizhen rolled her eyes:

"You've got to give up."

"We can just congratulate Brother Zhong on his promotion; there's no need to invite him to dinner."

"Who doesn't know your background in the police force?"

Wang Dao was enraged:

"I'm one of the CEOs of Qiankun Film and Television Company. Isn't that enough to make him arrogant?"

Le Huizhen chuckled:

"Yes, one of the bosses of Qiankun Film Company... But the problem is, besides that identity, you're also the right-hand man of Hung Hing Mong Kok's leader, Handsome Kun!"

"Do you think those cops at the police station are idiots?"

"It's better not to go!"

"So as not to make things difficult for Brother Zhong."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"That's fine then. I was originally planning to treat him to a meal if I had the guts."

"Now it's saved!"

Le Huizhen covered her mouth and laughed. She asked:
"Is Brother Zhong really going to get promoted?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"The professor's case seems to be closed, but if you think about it carefully, it's obvious that there are many doubts."

"The most crucial point is—who sheltered the professor."

"However, everyone at the police station avoided this point without prior agreement."

"The waters here run very deep!"

"Don't think about it."

Le Huizhen nodded repeatedly:
"I'm not stupid!"

“When I was working with Brother Zhong on Johnny Wang’s case, I already understood that there are some things that should never be touched.”

Wang Dao was very pleased.

The biggest problem with people is their lack of self-awareness.

There are always people who think they can solve all problems, until they hit a wall and realize just how fragile they really are.

Lok Wai-chun has a strong sense of justice and a gossipy nature, but what's rare is that she has self-awareness.

This significantly reduced his workload.

After seeing Le Huizhen off, Wang Dao called Chen Guozhong:

"Brother Zhong, have you had breakfast yet?"

"I have two pieces of news for you, one is good news and the other is bad news. Which one do you want to hear?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Guozhong knew that both pieces of information were open secrets:
"Hear the bad news first."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"The bad news is that a senior employee of the Chongqing Telecommunications Department named James will be joining the Political Department today."

"Be more careful in the future."

Chen Guozhong exclaimed:

"You know this as well?"

Wang Dao offered a brief explanation:
"This guy used to work as a bodyguard, which revealed his whereabouts."

Chen Guozhong then asked:

"What's the good news?"

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"Congratulations, Chief Inspector Chen, you've been promoted!"

Chen Guozhong found it quite absurd:
"Which of us actually works at the police station?"

"I didn't even receive the message, but you did?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

“The burden on the top leader is too heavy for him to bear, so he needs someone to share the load.”

“Rewarding the police officer who performed meritorious service in the professor’s case is a good idea; it will keep the professor’s case in the media’s spotlight.”

"So... you got promoted."

Chen Guozhong frowned and said:

"The boss and Commander Chen weren't promoted?"

Wang Dao shook his head regretfully:

"Foreigners aren't that generous these days."

"So, I need to be more energetic today, because there are media taking pictures."

Chen Guozhong muttered something:
"Isn't the Inspector General an inspector?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I originally wanted to treat you to a meal, but Ah Zhen said that because of my special status, I wouldn't want to bother you."

Chen Guozhong laughed:
"Ah Zhen, you're overthinking it. Commander Chen even wants to invite you to dinner..."

Wang Dao shrugged:

“Once we both make further progress, then it won’t be a problem to eat in public.”

Chen Guozhong smiled wryly:

"Back then, your identity was naturally not a problem, but my identity became a big problem."

"What rich person would have dinner with a lowly police officer like Superintendent Yu?"

There are reasons for the kingly way:
"I come from a江湖 (jianghu) background, can't I be nostalgic?"

Chen Guozhong was too lazy to listen to his nonsense:
"Bye!"

Wang Dao reminded him again:
"That James who came out of the telecommunications department must be someone you don't want to mess with."

"You have to be careful."

Chen Guozhong pursed his lips:

"Don't worry!"

After hanging up the phone, a glint of light flashed in his eyes:
"The Chief Inspector?"

"It's not enough!"

"However, it will take time to rise further!"

Chen Guozhong shook his head. Although the position of chief inspector was not high, it was still a promotion, which was worth celebrating.

If Wang Dao says he can get a promotion, then he definitely will.

What if Wang Dao's intelligence is wrong?
The information from the king is always reliable; the problem isn't with the king, but with the top leader!
Thinking of this, Chen Guozhong dressed up a little before getting into the car with a good mood!
Meanwhile, Wang Dao had already left for work.

Of course, they first took a big detour to Repulse Bay and found 200,000 bearer bonds.

Wang Dao utterly despised this behavior. Bribing foreigners with so much money? Well then, he'd gladly accept it!
However, he was no longer as happy with the bonds as he was when he first picked up money.

Two hundred thousand...that's really a bit low.

As per tradition, he took out one-tenth of the cash, sealed it into several red envelopes, and then leisurely went to Qiankun Film and Television.

Good morning, Mr. Wang!

The two young ladies at the front desk changed their expressions when they saw Wang Dao.

Wang Dao casually pulled out two red envelopes and handed them to them:

"Let's share in the joy."

The little girl was quite surprised:
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"

After Wang Dao walked away, the two opened the red envelopes, their faces filled with even greater surprise. There were actually six hundred yuan inside!

That's equivalent to one-fifth of my salary!
One of the pretty girls said:

"How many red envelopes did we receive last month?"

Another person answered:

"More than ten thousand, I guess?"

"It's only been a few days this month, and I've already received almost 10,000 yuan in red envelopes."

This pretty girl has stars in her eyes; where else can you find such a great job?
A typical receptionist might earn around two thousand, but their firewood and water bills are three thousand, with the lion's share coming from Wang Dao's occasional red envelopes (cash gifts).

This income is comparable to that of a high-earning professional.

If possible, they would like to live here for the rest of their lives.

Wang Dao distributes red envelopes along the way, and the recipients are random. He will give the red envelopes to whoever he meets that day, until he runs out of red envelopes.

Wang Dao walked into Liang Kun's office with a strange expression on his face. Good heavens, Han Bin has moved his office here?

As soon as he pushed open the door, Han Bin was sitting there, and Liang Kun was on the phone.

“…Well done, Qiang. I trust you to handle things. Don’t worry about anything else, just follow the rules.”

"The bottom line in Mong Kok cannot be crossed. If someone sells drugs inside the venue, you should know what to do, right?"

"I won't give face to anyone!"

"They won't even give the Ni family face!"

"Other branches of Hung Hing?"

"Damn it, if they dare to steal my fans, I'll wipe out their entire gang!"

"That's all."

Liang Kun hung up the phone, feeling refreshed.

Wang Dao tossed the red envelopes to the two of them and asked with a smile:
"Did Sha Qiang call to say hello again?"

Liang Kun was both helpless and smug:
“That guy, Sha Qiang, calls me almost every few days, as if he’s afraid I’ll forget about him.”

"Damn it, this guy is like a clingy little girl."

"How come I never noticed this problem with him before?"

Han Bin opened the red envelope and was surprised:
"A huge yellow ox!" "Ah Dao, you've struck it rich?"

He said to Liang Kun,

“Sha Qiang is living too well; he’s afraid you’ll take back his territory.”

"I've never seen a boss who delegates authority like you."

"Aren't you worried something might happen?"

Liang Kun opened the red envelope and smiled:

"Two big yellow oxen, Ah Dao is very kind."

He answered Han Bin's question slowly.
"When I give away my territory, I also give away my responsibilities and obligations."

"As long as Sha Qiang isn't stupid, he'll know what to do."

"Last month, the two streets brought in two million in revenue, which was very profitable."

Han Binqi said:

"They handed over all their income?"

Liang Kun rolled his eyes:
"How could that be? They kept 30%."

Han Bin was taken aback:
"Doesn't that mean they could leave behind hundreds of thousands of dollars just from that one street, Sha Qiang?"

Handsome Kun asked curiously:

"What's wrong with this?"

Han Bin was so shocked that he couldn't speak:
"Ah Kun, do you know what you're doing?"

"By doing this, you are directly strengthening your subordinates' power."

Aren't you afraid they'll rebel against you?

Handsome Kun smiled and shook his head:

“Ado once said something to me that I think is very good.”

"It's hard to get fat by eating alone."

"If I were just a simple gang leader, I would try every means to concentrate resources in my own hands."

"But I'm not just a simple tycoon anymore, I'm a legitimate businessman."

“I have my own legitimate business.”

“I support a large group of people, and of course I am also protected by Hong Kong law.”

Is it really that hard to earn two million?

"My film company makes one movie a month, and after deducting costs, the profit can easily reach four million!"

“I earn much more than I did in the gang.”

"If one movie is like this, what about the others?"

"If I put in a little effort, earning five or six million a month would be very easy."

"Is that right?!"

Speaking of this, Liang Kun was very proud.

Han Bin gave a thumbs up, acknowledging that Liang Kun had every right to be proud.

Handsome Kun smiled and said:
"As for those two streets, I went there four times last month: once to set up a flag, twice to pursue my wife, and once when Boss Zhu treated me to a meal."

"Then I don't need to keep watch on two streets, so I naturally need someone to work for me."

"There are dangers to life when you're out there."

"If you don't give your underlings enough money, why would they risk their lives for you?"

"Do you uphold loyalty and righteousness?"

"Stop it!"

Han Bin remained silent.

He Tu's uncles talked about loyalty and righteousness every day, but everyone knew that their loyalty and righteousness were only for themselves.

If they really cared about loyalty and righteousness, they would have already taken the position.

"Several hundred thousand a month is indeed a lot."

Liang Kun admits this.
"But both Qiang and Niu have to support their younger brothers. If the younger brothers get a share of this money, they'll be lucky to get a few hundred thousand left."

"A few hundred thousand can buy a decent apartment in the suburbs, that's all."

"I'm worried they'll rebel?"

"Are they worried that I'll replace them?"

Han Bin suddenly realized:

"I see!"

Liang Kun calmly said:
"I can make them rise to power, and I can also make them step down. If they can take initiative and expand their own territory, then so be it."

"As long as they don't cross my bottom line, I'll cover for them."

"As the boss, we have that much guts."

Han Bin was completely convinced.

"Ah Kun, you truly deserve to be called 'Big Boss Kun' by the people of the martial arts world."

"Given your business model, it would be difficult for the police to find any fault with you."

"No wonder you get along so well with Chen Guozhong."

"That guy has a huge reputation in the martial arts world; he doesn't bother with ordinary people."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily:

“We’re respectable people. Chen Guozhong and I have a good relationship, so isn’t that just a natural thing?”

Han Bin thought to himself, "You're really shameless!"

There was nothing he could do. To those who didn't know Leung Kwan, his actions appeared to be those of an entrepreneur, completely unrelated to any triad.

Little did they know, this man was already known in the underworld as "Big Boss Kun"!

The Way of the King:

"Binny, are you abandoning your own responsibilities?"

"You treat Qiankun Film and Television like your own home?"

Han Bin quickly said:
"I came here mainly to gather information."

Handsome Kun was completely confused:

"What information are you trying to find out?"

Han Bin said unhappily:
"That damn professor has drawn the police station's attention to us."

"If this matter isn't resolved, how dare we do anything?"

"Adao, you have a good relationship with Chen Guozhong. Do you know how far things have progressed with the professor's matter?"

Handsome Kun shook his head:
"Binny, aren't you just grasping at straws? The professor's matter hasn't been resolved yet, do you think Chen Guozhong would dare to leak information to the outside world?"

Han Bin sighed:

"We had to come and find out!"

"Who knows what crazy things that damn professor might do next?"

Wang Dao clapped his hands and said:
“If you ask other people, they basically won’t know this news, but if you ask me, I can only say that Binney, you have a good eye.”

Liang Kun and Han Bin were both pleasantly surprised:
"Ado, do you know?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"That professor is insane. Yesterday, he killed an Interpol officer at a high-end bar in Hong Kong Island, broke his arm, and took him away."

"Don't misunderstand."

"The professor didn't hate the other party; he just used his arm as a key to enter Interpol."

"That day he killed twelve Interpol agents and successfully took away twenty million US dollars."

Liang Kun was stunned:

"Is this something you can talk about? Since when did your relationship with Chen Guozhong allow you to exchange this kind of information?"

Wang Dao rolled his eyes:
"What do you mean by that?"

“This is what Ah Zhen said to herself last night when she went to the police station to do a special program.”

Han Bin was overjoyed:

"The professor has been arrested?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"Yes, he was arrested."

You would never guess where he was arrested.

Liang Kun casually said:
Where else could it be?

"The airport."

Han Bin shook his head:
"There are special police officers at the airport all year round, so the professor can't get on the plane."

Wang Dao nodded:
"You're right, he can't board a commercial airline."

Liang Kun's eyes widened in surprise:

"Wait, you mean the professor was arrested in a military aircraft?"

Han Bin gasped.
"Can't you?"

Wang Dao sighed:

"Unfortunately, Chen Guozhong and his men arrested the professor in a military aircraft at the Wudu garrison base."

Liang Kun and Han Bin looked at each other, both stunned by the news.

Han Bin murmured:
How did the professor get into the military airfield?

"What qualifications does he have to join the military intelligence service?"

Why didn't the foreigners attack him?

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
"Then I don't know, and I advise you not to guess."

"Anyway, none of the police officers at the police station bothered to guess!"

Handsome Kun nodded slowly:

"The professor must have some foreign backing him, otherwise, how could he have left on a military plane?"

"You should know that military aircraft will definitely land at military airfields."

"If there's no inside man, is the professor going to his death?"

Han Bin's feelings were complicated:

"That professor... he's really got incredible abilities!"

"But it's good to arrest this guy."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to do business."

Wang Dao solemnly said:
"I suggest you take your business a step back."

"The entire Interpol team was wiped out. Who knows if the police will take their anger out on you?"

"Let's wait until things calm down before making any decisions."

Han Bin nodded repeatedly:

"rational!"
