Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 174 This is My Home

Wang Dao went back and slept until dawn. He had just gotten up to eat when he received a call from Chen Guozhong:

"Ah Dao, I just received orders from the big sir that the operation against Hung Hing has been canceled."

"You did it?"

Wang Dao rolled his eyes:
"What do you mean I made it?"

Chen Guozhong frowned and said:

"If it wasn't you? Then who could it be?"

Wang Dao laughed:

"As expected of Brother Zhong, he found the key right away. It was me who did it."

Chen Guozhong fell silent for a moment:
"Let's meet at our usual spot."

Wang Dao was dumbfounded:

"Skipping breakfast will affect your stomach and intestines."

Chen Guozhong said irritably:
"I'll bring it for you."

Wang Dao shook his head:
"Someone brings breakfast to my house every day, so you don't need to bother."

Half an hour later, Wang Dao got off the bus carrying two baskets of shrimp dumplings:
"Getting up early to enjoy the sea breeze, that's quite a refined hobby of yours."

Chen Guozhong asked in surprise:
"What method did you use?"

The Way of Kings is straightforward:
“I spent a million to find James’ address, and then spent three million to send in a small B and a high-explosive shell.”

Chen Guozhong said in astonishment:

"that's it?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Of course not, I also spent a million to have his entire house emptied."

Chen Guozhong exclaimed in astonishment:

"So when James gets home, all he'll be facing is an empty house and that box?"

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"That's right."

Chen Guozhong thought about it from the perspective of a police officer:
"Didn't you leave any flaws?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"You've forgotten, I used to be a policeman too."

"Would I leave a flaw?"

Chen Guozhong reminded him:

"The other party is from the Chongqing Telecom Bureau. He is a high-ranking agent and has the means to do things."

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"Don't worry about me doing the work."

"Their shrimp dumplings are good, you should try them."

Chen Guozhong casually took the shrimp dumpling and looked at Wang Dao suspiciously:

"No problem at all."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"If I were James, and I came home and saw this scene, the first thing I would do is check if the killer left any traces."

"Unfortunately, the room was cleaned three times after the move was completed."

"They are all professional cleaners, all wearing gloves, shoe covers, and even their hair is covered."

"Even if he searched inch by inch with a magnifying glass, he wouldn't find a single hair!"

After swallowing a shrimp dumpling, he said again,
"I wiped that box inside and out three times, and not a single fingerprint was left behind."

“I also left him an A4 sheet of paper with words printed on it using a very ordinary printer. He wants to check the handwriting? I won’t give him that chance.”

"So what will he check next?"

Chen Guozhong immediately pointed out the biggest flaw:

"You've used so many people, James will definitely check the surveillance footage."

Wang Dao smiled and said:

"That's right, he'll check the surveillance footage."

"But I'm sorry to say, he still couldn't find anything."

Chen Guozhong asked, puzzled:

"why?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Do you think my money is wasted?"

"Four million inside and out is enough for them to personally take down James. What's so difficult about changing the surveillance camera?"

Chen Guozhong's hair stood on end:

"You bribed all the property owners at James' house?"

Wang Dao countered with a question:
"if not?"

"If you're going to do something like this, you have to go all the way."

"The property management staff colluded with each other. Even if James had them all arrested and interrogated one by one, he wouldn't have found a single flaw."

"and……"

Do you think James would dare to do that?

Chen Guozhong asked, puzzled:

"Why don't you dare?"

After finishing the last shrimp dumpling, Wang Dao clapped his hands, took out a Marlboro, offered one to Chen Guozhong, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring before saying:
"You have the mindset of a cop, not a secret agent."

Chen Guozhong frowned and said:

"I just don't understand."

Wang Dao raised his finger:

"Babble is backed by James. How many people can find out the truth about this?"

Chen Guozhong is honest and straightforward:

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to find out."

"If I can't do it, then most others probably can't either."

Wang Dao then raised his second finger.

"How many people can find James's address?"

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"less."

"James came from the Telecommunications Department of the Fog City, which determined that he had a high degree of confidentiality requirements for his own security."

Wang Dao raised his third finger:

"To go to such great lengths to clear James's room, leaving him only a small head and a high-explosive shell, without leaving any trace."

"How many people could actually do something like that?"

Chen Guozhong thought for a moment and said:
“Each one is difficult enough, but there are very few forces that can accomplish all of this by combining these three.”

Wang Dao asked one last question:
"So do you think that the one who has accomplished all three of the above points is this ordinary Hung Hing?"

Chen Guozhong stood there dumbfounded!
Yes, would an ordinary triad in Hong Kong be capable of doing all this?
Chen Guozhong found the subtlety in the matter increasingly apparent and looked at him in surprise.
"Are you making an enemy out of thin air for James?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Believe it or not, even if I ran up to James right now and told him that I did all of this, he wouldn't believe me."

"He might even believe that this was a trap deliberately set up by the people behind Hung Hing."

Chen Guozhong felt a chill run down his spine as he stared intently at Wang Dao:

"Ado, I regret it!"

Wang Dao was taken aback and said:
What do you regret?

Chen Guozhong sighed:

"I shouldn't have sent you out as an undercover agent; I should have kept you by my side."

"With your abilities, you should shine brightly in the police station."

Wang Dao shook his head:
That's just wishful thinking.

"As long as Hong Kong is still under the control of foreigners, there will be no day for me to rise to prominence."

"If you keep climbing, the highest you can reach is Chief Superintendent. What's the point of that?"

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"Twenty years ago, the highest rank a Chinese police officer could hold was only detective."

Wang Dao mocked:
"To be honest, unless Hong Kong returns to China, the positions of the chief of the three departments and thirteen bureaus will not be open to us Chinese."

"But then again, I'm better off being a street hustler than sitting in an office. That would be so boring."

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

“I know your abilities…”

Wang Dao quickly interrupted him:
“Brother Zhong, didn’t we agree that you would stay at the police station and I would stay in the gang? We’ll work together and make something of ourselves.”

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
Do you think I haven't been to the filming location of "The Emperor's Disciple"?

"The exact words were clearly Leung Sir telling Koo Siu-yuk, 'If you join the police force, you will be a crime nemesis.'"

"And Gu Xiaoyu said to Liang Sir, 'If you and I join forces, we will be invincible.'"

"You know what, this movie is really interesting to make."

"It's just that Gu Xiaoyu was filmed to look rather handsome."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Brother Kun is from Hung Hing, after all. How can he not make Gu Xiaoyu look handsome?"

"By the way, Brother Kun wants to act in a movie."

Chen Guozhong frowned and said:

"He's going to play a big boss?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"Yeah, playing a big boss."

"They specialize in playing domineering, arrogant, ruthless, and tragically dead big shots."

Chen Guozhong said in astonishment:

"Died a tragic death?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Yes, those are his exact words."

Chen Guozhong asked in bewilderment:

"What's wrong with Liang Kun?"

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

"Perhaps this is the kind of big shot he envisions."

Chen Guozhong was taken aback, then realized what he meant and chuckled:

"Looks like someone who's been around for a while knows his fate very well."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"That's right, he said it himself. People who are in the underworld either drive police cars or hearses; they either work in police stations or funeral homes."

"Who knows when it will be gone."

"If he's going to act in movies, he has to play those arrogant, domineering, and wicked gangsters who die a tragic death!"

Chen Guozhong was amused:
"Handsome Kun is interesting!"

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"Yes, sometimes I find him interesting."

Chen Guozhong stretched:

"Now that I understand the whole story, I'm relieved." "It's good that this matter is over; now I have the energy to deal with Hetu."

The Way of the King does not understand the Way:
"Hetu is about to disintegrate, and you're still targeting them?"

Chen Guozhong smiled wryly:

"It's precisely because Hetu is about to disintegrate that the martial arts world will definitely be shaken."

"If we don't seize the time to make arrangements now, will we have to cram at the last minute when things happen?"

Wang Dao gives a thumbs up:
"Brother Zhong, you're really dedicated!"

Chen Guozhong said self-deprecatingly:

"How dare you be unprofessional? This is my home!"

Wang Dao fell silent and said:
"Don't worry, Brother Zhong. Although the disintegration of Hetu is a foregone conclusion, their split will not have a significant impact on Hong Kong."

Chen Guozhong looked at Wang Dao in disbelief:

"You've got news again?"

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"I was a bit too aggressive in the horse racing betting the other day, so Benny treated me to dinner. I went because I had guts."

Chen Guozhong's eyes flashed with a sharp light:
"Did you see Big D in Tsuen Wan?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Brother Zhong also knows Big D's name."

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"Among the new generation of Hetu, besides Han Bin, he is the most outstanding."

"This guy is really dedicated. He has backbone. It was just an ordinary restaurant, but he managed to turn it into a restaurant exclusively for big shots."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"That's right, I met Big D and chatted with him for a while, and learned some inside information."

This is a half-truth, half-lies. It's true that I chatted with Big D, but it's false that I learned the inside story.

However, that's how it is when you tell a big story; it has to be nine parts truth and one part falsehood to be most convincing.

"The Hetu organization has always been under my uncle's control. The power is in my uncle's hands, not in the hands of the twenty-odd hall masters."

“Even though Han Bin is the most powerful, he still needs his uncle’s permission to do anything in Kwai Tsing.”

"This is also why Han Bin was willing to switch sides to Hung Hing."

"The Hetu group is basically divided into three major factions: one is Fei Deng, one is Shen Ye, and one is Fei Xiang."

"They're all old foxes."

"If Hetu were to split, it would only split into three."

"None of them are any worse than Hung Hing now."

That's why they say Hetu is the number one guild in the martial arts world.
When people have internal strife and split up, the resulting gangs are comparable to top-tier gangs.

Han Bin was widely regarded as the next leader of the Hetu Group, which shows just how high his reputation was.

Chen Guozhong felt somewhat relieved:
"In that case, I don't need to be in too much of a hurry."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

“Brother Zhong, this is not only your home, but also my home.”

Chen Guozhong smiled:
"Okay, I'm going back first."

Wang Dao sighed:

"I wanted to get a good night's sleep, but now I can't sleep at all."

"Alright, I'll just take a quick walk and then go to work."

Chen Guozhong said speechlessly:

"You're doing a pretty good job at this job. It's impressive that Ah Kun can tolerate you working like this."

Wang Daoli said confidently:
"Jiang Tiansheng handed over the task of dealing with James to Brother Kun, who then handed it over to me, telling me that all I had to do these two days was focus on this matter."

"I'll take two days off, is that alright?"

Chen Guozhong joked:

"It's a pity you're so efficient, otherwise you could have dragged it out for two days."

Wang Dao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"The sooner it's resolved, the sooner we can have peace of mind."

"Who knows what might happen if this drags on?"

"Because you took the lead, Hung Hing is under a lot of pressure."

Chen Guozhong said in astonishment:

"What about my job?"

Wang Dao said solemnly:
“Previously in Kowloon, you tacitly allowed Hung On and other triads to swallow up Lung Fei Ah Wo’s territory.”

Chen Guozhong frowned and said:

"Is someone targeting Hung Hing?"

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"Isn't that just a matter of course?"

"Aside from a few triads, who doesn't envy Hung Hing's territory?"

"Although Hung Hing is not the largest, its territory is the best."

"Now that Hung Hing is being targeted by the police, which surrounding triad isn't envious?"

“If this drags on, Hung Hing might get swallowed up.”

A cold glint flashed in Chen Guozhong's eyes:
"James has a huge appetite."

Wang Dao waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, they only have this idea in mind. If they want to implement it, they'll have to wait at least half a month."

"If we were to annex them now, Hung Hing would be looking for someone to vent their anger on, so how could they possibly let them off the hook?"

Chen Guozhong nodded repeatedly:
"Makes sense!"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"Alright, you should get to work now."

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"Let's have a drink sometime!"

To be honest, he never thought he would say such a thing to Wang Dao. After all, Wang Dao was an undercover agent he had sent out. If the two of them had frequent contact, even a fool would know that there was something going on between them.

However, after Wang Dao's bizarre actions, not only Chen Guozhong, but also Chen Xinjian and even the big sir of the Kowloon Regional Headquarters believed that the two had an unusual relationship.

Of course, this is unusual; it's definitely not a superior-subordinate relationship, but rather a pure friendship within the martial arts world.

No one can apply the superior-subordinate relationship to these two people.

Therefore, what used to be a clandestine rendezvous can now be conducted openly with drinks.

The power of the king's way is truly evident.

After seeing Chen Guozhong off, Wang Dao got into his car and headed straight for a unit in Sham Shui Po.

He's going to collect the gift from his old friend B!
Despite his seemingly straightforward nature, Little B secretly hid a unit in Sham Shui Po—note, Sham Shui Po, not Tsz Wan Shan.

Following the address provided by the intelligence, Wang Dao entered the unit and casually opened the door.

To his surprise, the room was exceptionally clean.

Little B should clean frequently.

Wang Dao easily discovered the hidden stash of money that Xi B had concealed, thanks to his professional expertise.

Inside were a considerable number of property deeds and five million in cash.

That's how it should be; that's the kind of coffers a Fit owner should have.

Like Hetuba, he deserved to be killed by B.

Only two million in total, what a poor bastard.

I never would have guessed that B would be so good at managing money.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. He was Jiang Tiansheng's number one henchman, and Jiang Tiansheng couldn't just give him orders without providing any real benefits.

Rewards are indispensable from time to time.

The kingly way satisfied him immediately.

Cash can be used freely.

As for the property deed, it should be used with caution.

Who knows who processed the deed for Little B's house? If it was Chen Yao who handled it, then we're in big trouble.

However, Wang Dao has enough houses, so he's not in a hurry to sell them.

Once the storm has passed, simply list it on a real estate agency, and selling it won't be a problem.

However, this unit can be used directly, since apart from Little B, no one knows that he has such a little stash of money.

Wang Dao came out satisfied and drove around Hong Kong.

Then I received a call from Liang Kun:
"Ado, where are you?"

Wang Dao speaks the truth:

"Going for a drive!"

Handsome Kun said speechlessly:
"Once you've resolved the matter, come back. What are you doing out there wandering around?"

Wang Daoqi said:

"Brother Kun, your information network is quite extensive."

Liang Kun rolled his eyes:
"There are no police officers coming to raid our place today, hurry back and tell them."

Wang Dao sighed and had no choice but to take out several red envelopes, filling them with a lot of money, which he would all give away later.

As soon as I entered the company, I was greeted by the smiling receptionist, just like always.

Wang Dao handed over two red envelopes to each of them, and the little girl was overjoyed.

"Wang Sheng, you've struck it rich again?"

Wang Dao quipped:
"What do you mean I've become rich? I'm making you rich every day."

The little girl giggled.

"Wang Sheng, Han Sheng is waiting for you in Li Sheng's office. Li Sheng instructed that you should go directly into his office after you arrive, as he has something to discuss."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dao casually pulled out more than a dozen red envelopes:
"Hey, can you guys send this out for me?"

The little girl's eyes sparkled:

"So many?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"The red envelopes are all about the same size, remember to send them out, otherwise you won't get any next time."

The little girl nodded repeatedly.

After Wang Dao left, the two opened the red envelopes he had given them and were overjoyed to find five large yellow oxen bills inside.

Curious, they opened the other red envelopes and were surprised to find three large yellow oxen inside.

The little sister was immediately satisfied—Wang Sheng indeed favored them.

Wang Dao pushed open the door and launched into a tirade against the two of them:
"Binny, do you really consider this your own company?"

"You have so many things going on at your company, are you just going to ignore them?"

"Brother Kun, you said I could rest for a few more days, but I haven't even had a day before you called me back?"

Han Bin poured tea for Wang Dao and asked curiously:
"How did you handle Little B's matter? You were too efficient."

Wang Dao grinned and said:

"Just spend money."

Liang Kun asked:

"How much did it cost?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Five million, all spent!"

Han Bin was extremely surprised:

"The other party is very troublesome? It requires five million?!"
