The Chief Detective Inspector is dead. I'm now the top police officer in Hong Kong!

Chapter 106 Old Ding's Comeback? (34)

"Almost done, Ah Biao." Lin Tiansheng said to Gay Biao as the vendors gradually dispersed, "You're smart enough to know your place."

Gay guy rubbed his hands together and stretched them out: "Handsome guy, I have experience in police-community cooperation."

The henchman nicknamed "Ponytail" dragged the bald man who was causing trouble out of the crowd and threw him into a stinking ditch. The rest of the Wo Shing Wo gang's thugs continued to shout and drive away the gathered citizens.

In many places, gangsters are indeed more effective than police officers in running the business. It's not that gangsters are particularly powerful, but rather that the police aren't worth violating regulations for such trivial matters.

Lin Tiansheng made a special trip to the open-air market because he was afraid that Chen Sheng, who came from the Serious Crimes Unit, would run into some gangsters and cause trouble, turning a good thing into a bad thing.

Seeing the chaos resolved, he felt much relieved. He slapped away the gay man's hand and said coldly, "Would you like a Good Citizen Award?"

Gay Biao chuckled awkwardly, "Officer, you're really generous, but I don't have time to accept it."

"Enough with the nonsense. Tell your men to disperse and not disturb the citizens doing business." Lin Tiansheng turned to Chen Sheng and said, "Fall back and head back to West Kowloon."

"Yes, sir!" Chen Sheng stood at attention and saluted. The uniformed squad and the mobile unit, having received the order and seeing that everything was peaceful, also withdrew one after another.

Ponytail walked up to the boss and said, "Brother Biao, what do you mean, does the market belong to me now?"

Gay Biao, with his two boyfriends in his arms, smiled broadly and said, "Wen Biao has suddenly been targeted by the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau and is busy getting beaten up. The market is definitely ours now."

"Wow, Brother Biao is amazing." The man with the ponytail looked excited. The open market on Women's Street has more than 200 stalls, and the monthly rent is almost 100,000 yuan.

In addition, cigarettes, newspapers, fine jewelry, clothing, and sneakers—earning three or four hundred thousand is no problem. The gay man declared, "It's not that I'm good, it's just that Wenbiao is unlucky."

"Hmph, next time you see that Inspector Lin, remember to salute him. He used to be the boss of Wan Chai."

Back at the police station, Lin Tiansheng offered cigarettes to Chen Sheng's men, then sat cross-legged on his desk, waiting for them to take his statements.

Most of the gangsters who set up stalls on the street are just trying to make a living; they're hardly principled. They only make three or four thousand yuan a month—what's the point of risking their lives?

Those who earn the most money should take the lead.

Half an hour later, Chen Sheng hurried over, put down a document, and said bluntly, "Young Master Sheng, we have enough evidence to arrest them."

Lin Tiansheng put his legs down, stood up and said, "I've spoken to the intelligence department, and the paparazzi have already got their hands on Wen Biao. He's in Tuo Di on Portland Street, doing his job."

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Sheng stood at attention, stamped his foot, saluted, and loudly called for his men to assemble. When the group arrived at the parking lot, they found a squad of serious crimes officers, already wearing bulletproof vests, fully armed, and ready to go.

Jiang Zhikai, the duty officer tonight, stood solemnly at the front of the car and saluted: "Inspector Lin!"

"Get to work." Lin Tiansheng patted Jiang Zhikai's shoulder lightly, continuing his steps. Chen Sheng's gaze swept across Jiang Zhikai's face, a smile on his lips.

Inside the private room, Wenbiao grabbed Paradise Boy's head and slammed it onto the glass table with a loud bang. He swept over a dozen bottles of beer, pushed them to the ground, and cursed, "Damn it, you let someone smear your head on your first day of delivery? You're colluding with the police to rip me off?"

With his face bruised and blood dripping from his mouth, Paradise Boy squinted and said, "No, no, boss."

He did indeed cooperate with the police force, and upon realizing this, he guessed that Chung Chi-wai had ill intentions, but how could he possibly tell Man-piu?

"Still won't admit it? Damn it, if it wasn't this mole, what are the chances of the police being caught? We just received the goods last night, and this happened tonight. You've ruined the open-air night market, and dozens of brothers have gone in!" Wen Biao, hot-tempered, kicked Tiantang hard, sending him sprawling on the ground like a dried shrimp. "You pay the bail, you think you can afford it, you damn bastard." The clerk, Cheung Chau, stopped the enraged Wen Biao and whispered, "Brother Biao, I just had a friend check, and the inspector who led the raid is called Lam Tin-shing."

"Who is this Lin Tiansheng?" Wen Biao cursed angrily, momentarily forgetting. Cheung Chau boy reminded him, "The Five Poisons Detective, the one from Wan Chai district?"

"Chen Yaoxing's boss?" Wen Biao realized, lit a cigarette, and said indignantly, "Damn it, it was Chen Yaoxing who stole his money, not me. Why are you causing me trouble? Go find that Chen guy in Wan Chai!"

Cheung Chau said, "Lam Tin-shing is in charge of the O-Division in West Kowloon, overseeing the Mong Kok district."

"Take it or leave it," Wenbiao cursed, "You think I'm easy to bully?"

"Bang!"

The lock on the glass door was smashed with a hammer. The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) officers broke down the door, rushed into the private room with flashlights and police guns. Without a word, they tackled everyone present to the ground, and handcuffed them amidst stern warnings.

Chen Sheng turned on the light, grabbed Wen Biao's chin, shone the flashlight back and forth, and sneered, "Wen Biao, is it? Come with me."

"Pah!" Wen Biao was arrogant and unruly. He spat on his face and cursed, "Who do you think you are, daring to mess with our Sun Kee in Kowloon?"

Without hesitation, Chen Sheng swung his arm and punched him in the eye socket, shouting fiercely, "Fuck your mother! Is a fight in a bar any of our business?"

"take away."

The waiter pretended not to see anything and pulled away the guys from Paradise Boy, Cheung Chau Boy, Big Fool, and a few henchmen. Lin Tiansheng stood in the corridor, facing the bar owner, and said politely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, the bar will be suspended for a week for rectification."

The boss was heartbroken, but he still had to smile obsequiously at the police officer, offer him a cigarette, and grovel: "No problem, no problem, officer."

The next day.

Kowloon City, the Heung family mansion.

The head of the new branch, nicknamed "Four-Eyed Dragon," was sitting in a suit and eating breakfast when the general manager, Lin Jiang, holding a newspaper, said, "Mr. Xiang, Wen Biao was arrested by the West Kowloon Organized Crime and Triad Bureau last night."

Four-Eyed Dragon's real name is Xiang. Because he wore glasses, he was nicknamed "Four-Eyed" when he was young.

In 1953, after his father was deported, the bespectacled young man, who had just graduated from secondary school, took charge of the company's affairs with the help of the Lam brothers.

On the one hand, he abandoned the Taiwan authorities and began serving the Hong Kong British government; on the other hand, his ambitions remained undiminished, and he secretly made contact with the North. Through his mediation, the Sun Kee Group weathered the anti-corruption storm unscathed, and gradually, he led the Sun Kee Group to grow bigger and bigger, gaining a reputation in the underworld.

Four-Eyed Dragon remained calm and said indifferently, "Because of the Ladies' Market? I told him not to fight too fiercely with the Shing Wo people. He keeps nagging. There can only be one Brother Biao in Mong Kok. Gay brands are not the same brand."

"Uncle Lin, would you like to sit down and have something to eat?"

Lin Jiang smiled wryly and said, "I've already eaten, Young Master Xiang. But Wen Biao's arrest has little to do with the open-air market; it was the trouble caused by Detective Lin Tiansheng of the Five Poisons."

Four-Eyed Dragon paused for a moment, almost forgetting that his "nephew's" leader (he was Lu Le's uncle), and asked in surprise, "What happened to Asheng? Wasn't he at the pond at the city gate?"

Lin Jiangdao said, "He was transferred back to West Kowloon last year to work as an assistant in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), overseeing the Mong Kok district. The arrest of Wen Biao was to settle scores with us."
