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

Chapter 135 Fleeing North (14)

"Uncle Shan, the Xiang family mansion is brightly lit, with thirty or forty gunmen inside and out." One-Eyed Hui rode in a Toyota, discreetly driving through Kowloon Tong, glancing at the mansion's entrance out of the corner of his eye.

This old-fashioned detached house, acquired by Xiang Qian as part of his family's estate, is six stories high, occupies more than 4,000 square feet, and has stood for over thirty years.

Now that it has been passed down to Si Yanlong, only the eldest son's descendants live there, while the rest of the Xiang family members have chosen other places to live, just like the Xinji Tuo land.

Tian Haishan had anticipated that Four-Eyed Dragon wouldn't be unprepared, so he brought weapons and men and hid in a nearby rented room. He squatted by the window and answered One-Eyed Hui on the phone: "Withdraw and keep an eye on him slowly. No need to rush."

"Got it." One-Eyed Hui said casually, even having the leisure to stop in front of the convenience store to buy bread and milk for the employees as a late-night snack.

In the study of the Xiang family mansion.

The four-eyed man, impeccably dressed in a suit, stood before the Xuan paper, a wolf-hair brush in hand, leisurely practicing calligraphy. Led by the gunman, Lin Jiang entered the room, sat down in the armchair on the left, and said, "Young Master, the matter with the foreigners has been settled; Lin Tiansheng has been temporarily suspended from his post."

"Well done. Although Huang Ximing is a good-for-nothing, he still gave the Lin family a warning and restored the reputation of Xinji."

"Let's see who dares to smash my ancestral hall again." The four-eyed dragon remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic. Because, even if the assassination failed, Su Long would take the blame.

The relevant evidence and materials have already been prepared.

After eliminating Su Long, a trustworthy person can be promoted to take charge of Wan Chai Tong, and the power of Axe Jun, Ghost Tim, Knee King Ming, and others can be further reduced.

Lin Jiang picked up his teacup, sipped his tea, and said with a troubled expression, "I just found out that the bodyguards following Lin Tiansheng are several former police academy instructors."

"what?"

Four-Eyed Dragon looked at him with surprise and doubt: "Not an undercover officer from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau?"

Lin Jiang slowly shook his head: "Those are corrupt cops who became professional hitmen after being dismissed from their posts and have already joined Lin Tiansheng's team."

Four-Eyed Dragon's wrist trembled slightly, the ink spreading, his composure fading. He hadn't anticipated that Lin Tiansheng was employing a gang of corrupt police assassins!
Are there many people?

This group of corrupt police assassins, who are not subject to police control and are highly likely to be loyal to Lin Tiansheng, is outside the scope of the plan, indicating that Lin Tiansheng has equivalent countermeasures.

Sometimes, the ability to perish together with others is also a skill.

There's no need to have even a slight chance of winning.

Lin Jiang's expression was grim: "There are quite a few people, more than twenty, all of them well-trained elite soldiers."

Four-Eyed Dragon swallowed hard. If he had received prior warning, he would never have taken the risk of shooting someone.

He insisted, "I don't believe he would dare to do anything reckless."

Lin Jiang's eyes were wary: "A blood feud must be avenged. According to the habits of corrupt cops, they will act recklessly and arbitrarily, just to vent their anger."

"If he can't even vent his anger, how can Lin Tiansheng manage his subordinates?"

Four-Eyed Dragon put down his brush, feeling that it made sense, and looked at Lin Jiang: "Can you bribe those corrupt cops to cripple Lin Tiansheng's army?"

"Forget it, with this money, we might as well bribe the foreigners and instruct Su Long to dig them out and wipe them out completely."

Bribery is certainly the most cost-effective method, but building trust with corrupt police officers is extremely difficult, unless you throw money at them when Lin Tiansheng first recruits them. Otherwise, stray dogs will eventually become domesticated.

"Hmm, I'll check, but given the current security situation," Lin Jiang pondered for a moment before speaking, "how about going to Canada for a couple of days to lay low?" It's not shameful for a triad boss to flee to Hong Kong to avoid the police's attention.

“You can’t go to Canada. There are a lot of corrupt cops who have fled to Canada. Those scum have made a comeback because there are too many remnants.” Four-Eyed Dragon cursed, “The foreigners were really cowardly back then. They issued a pardon and left the trouble until now.”

Lin Jiang noticed that Four-Eyed Dragon was about to leave, and a hint of joy welled up inside him, but he concealed it very well.

Although the Lin family wouldn't usurp the position of the Xiang family's leader, they could still rapidly expand their power by promoting more people and seizing key positions. When Xiang Qian retired, he took the two Lin brothers, Lin Jing and Lin Sheng, who had built the empire, to Taiwan to prevent the Lin family from usurping power. However, it would be against human nature for the Lin family to say they had no objections at all.

“I plan to go north to the mainland and form an inspection team.” Four-Eyed Dragon observed Lin Jiang’s expression and said, “There are public security officers in the mainland, those corrupt cops won’t dare to cause trouble.”

“That’s a good idea.” Lin Jiang was slightly surprised, but ever since Taiwan cut off the intelligence funding to Xinji, Xinji had slowly started to collude with the North.

First, the North needed intelligence support; second, Xinji had considerable foreign exchange reserves, which could be used to invest and do business in the North, aligning with the opening-up strategy. Even though high-ranking officials in the coastal areas knew the Xiang family's identity, they tacitly approved it to boost the economy. After all, Xinji's more than 100,000 members represented significant public support.

"It's settled then. Arrange the boat and leave immediately. Uncle Nan, come with me. Uncle Yuan and Zhanwei, stay here." When it came to matters of life and death, Four-Eyed Dragon appeared decisive and efficient: "Call Zhanwei over. I have something to tell him."

Heung Chin-wai is his eldest son, a graduate of the London School of Law, and has already obtained his barrister's license on Hong Kong Island. He is the publicly acknowledged next-generation successor and currently in charge of the triad's legal affairs; he has been exceptionally well-trained.

Uncle Nan and Uncle Yuan are elders of the previous generation, with more seniority than Lin Jiang. Uncle Nan is in charge of managing the Xiang family's legitimate private assets, which are brought into the mainland as a business necessity. Uncle Yuan is in charge of the Xiang family's security, with a team of elite soldiers to protect Xiang Zhanwei's position.

This arrangement not only allows for the training of successors but also prevents Lin Jiang and Su Long from acting recklessly, demonstrating meticulous planning.

After explaining some matters to his eldest son, Four-Eyed Dragon was alone in his study. He dialed a satellite phone and laughed loudly, "Captain He, it's been a long time."

"I need to tell you something. I plan to cross the sea into the province tonight, yes, tonight. Could you please arrange for the water police to meet me? It's not to cause trouble, I'm heading north to do some research; I'm planning to invest in a garment factory."

Lin Tiansheng sat on the sofa at home, holding a bowl of sweet soup to cool off and relieve the heat. Chen Anquan finished his phone call on the balcony and returned to the living room, saying, "Boss, Inspector He has caught Sweet Potato and is interrogating him. According to his confession, it was Su Long who arranged for him to be there."

"Su Long?"

Lin Tiansheng put down his soup bowl and said coldly, "A head instructor with a nice-sounding title dares to order his students to assault the police? Four-Eyed Dragon has really prepared his escape route, planning to use this as an excuse to kill two birds with one stone."

Zhang Jinrong sighed: "In charge of this case, Inspector Henry is really putting fire on Su Long. There's no way to take down Four-Eyed Dragon."

Lin Tiansheng had given up on the foreigners in the police force. He patted Li Shaifeng on the shoulder and said in a broad voice, "Call Wang Jing and tell him we won't be going to the wrap party for the movie tomorrow."

"The world is in turmoil lately, so stay home and don't wander around."

Li Shaifeng nodded gently: "I won't cause you any trouble, Young Master Sheng."

Lin Tiansheng laughed and said, "Go back to your room and sleep. I'm so angry, a bowl of sugar water won't be enough to cool me down."

Chen Anquan, Zhang Jinrong, and Deng Gengyun all turned around, walked out of the house, and started chatting with Ye Jiu and the others at the door.

Kowloon Tong Road.

One-Eyed Hui stood by the window, smoking a cigarette and staring at the Xiang family mansion. Suddenly, he saw a driver drive the car out of the yard. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly woke up Tian Haishan on the sofa.

"Uncle Shan".

"You're awake! The four-eyed dragon is about to run away!"
