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

Chapter 146 Moving to a New Home (14)

Around 5 o'clock, Chen Anquan, Zhang Jinrong and others arrived at the new building one after another. After entering the house, Zhang Jinrong looked around the living room and exclaimed, "What a great house! It's big and bright, and you can even see the night view of Victoria Harbour."

"The place with the lights on is Central Plaza, right?"

“You can even see the Wan Chai Building.” Chung Chi-fai, dressed in a suit, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Lin Tiansheng stood to the side and pointed, saying, "That's the Jardine Matheson Building."

"Damn it, a mansion worth over ten million. Back when Brother Le was around, we never even dared to dream of such a thing," Zhang Jinrong muttered, his eyes burning.

Even the house of a big shot makes everyone feel proud and elated.

Chen Anquan said with a smile: "Ten years ago, Brother Le was the boss. After distributing the money to the foreigners, he would distribute the money to the bosses of various gangs and the detectives in the jurisdiction."

"Nowadays, the big boss is the one in charge and takes the biggest share. Can we even compare?"

Although the remnants of the party are several levels weaker than before, the feeling is different when it comes to one's own cause versus the cause of others.

They are no longer junior employees, but a startup team!

Deng Gengyun, dressed simply in a shirt, squatted in front of the stove, peeking out and asking, "Sister-in-law, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Pigeon soup, pork chop rice, char siu, roast duck, grouper," Li Shaifeng said, tending the fire, with a chef standing beside her.

Deng Gengyun rubbed his hands together, his face showing a greedy expression: "What excellent cooking, sister-in-law! When do we start eating?"

Li Shaifeng, dressed in a long dress, with her hair up in a bun and light makeup, smiled radiantly: "I made the soup, and the rest was done by the chef."

"Dinner will be served when everyone is here."

In a house of over 2,000 square feet, if you don't clean it for a day, the dust is visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, Lin Tiansheng hired a Filipino maid and a chef to help with housework. Li Shaifeng also had to continue her studies and didn't have enough time to film, so there was no need for her to waste time on housework.

Lin Tiansheng, with a cigar in his mouth, said happily, "Come on, let me show you the guest rooms. You can come and stay anytime you have time."

In addition to the living room, bathroom, and balcony, the new house is divided into two guest rooms, a dressing room, a maid's room, and a driver's rest room.

In addition, there is the master bedroom.

Lin Tiansheng and Afeng share a room, leaving plenty of space. When guests come to discuss business, they can be accommodated in the guest room.

It wouldn't matter if all four sergeants came at once; two people could sleep in one room. The driver's lounge was larger, with two bunk beds for Ye Jiu and the others.

The maid's room was smaller than the dressing room, but it had a window, which was used to house the Filipino maid.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

Pi Zhibang, holding a television, stood at the door with a broad smile: "Young Master Sheng, congratulations on moving."

"Brother Pi, you're too kind. Please come in." Lin Tiansheng took the television and told Ye Jiu to move it to the lounge: "You can use it."

Although he didn't make major renovations, he replaced all the home appliances and wardrobes with new ones.

However, Pi Zhibang couldn't go empty-handed, so after thinking it over, he chose one with a reasonable price.

But compared to the "Four Great Servant Generals," this is already very extravagant. Unlike them, who only have a set of bowls and chopsticks, a potted plant, a box of laundry detergent, and a statue of the God of Wealth.

Then Qiao Jingxing, Pu Yongshi, and Huang Qixian arrived one after another, each bringing a gift, the most expensive of which was an imported stereo system.

What Lin Tiansheng liked most was the cigar cabinet that his uncle had given him.

"Let's sit down. We didn't invite too many guests today, so let's all get together and have a couple of drinks." After all the guests had arrived, Lin Tiansheng suggested moving from the sofa area to the dining room. Everyone nodded with smiles and sat down at an octagonal table. Lin Tiansheng instructed the servants to distribute the food into bento boxes and deliver them to Ye Jiu and the others who were on duty outside.
Qiao Jingxing, dressed in a suit and tie, raised his glass and said, "Congratulations, Young Master Sheng, on your new home and new business, may your life be thriving."

"It's all thanks to my brothers for supporting me, cheers."

As the host, Lin Tiansheng was very hospitable. Gradually, the guests took off their suits and ties, and the atmosphere became relaxed and pleasant.

"Beep beep beep".

The wine was flowing freely, and the food had just cooled down.

Zhong Zhihui's pager rang. He gave a wink, walked to the living room, picked up the landline and dialed back. He said "uh-huh" twice, then put down the phone and returned to the table.

Zhang Jinrong, sitting next to him, nudged his arm with her elbow and asked in a low voice, "Zhihui, is something wrong?"

Qiao Jingxing, Huang Qixian, and the others lowered their voices and turned to look. The table was full of their own people, and after drinking a bit, they no longer concealed their emotions.

Zhong Zhihui simply said, "The paparazzi got wind of it. Shar-Pei lost his goods yesterday, but didn't go to Uber to restock. In fact, he gathered gunmen and planned to fight Old Fu to the death to get the goods back."

"A desperate gamble?" Lin Tiansheng was slightly surprised.

Old Fu is not someone to be trifled with. Rather than seeking revenge by stealing goods, we should first ensure the entertainment venues meet their needs. Zhong Zhihui said, "Yu Bo lost several shipments. After catching the mole, he was eager to make money and drove the prices down. The Shar Pei isn't stupid. Someone must have gotten wind of it and knows that Yu Bo's place isn't safe, which is why he chose to go head-to-head with Old Fu."

Lin Tiansheng's expression darkened slightly: "Liang Zhenbang is wearing black shoes."

As members of the same elite faction, it's not surprising that the Wan Chai Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) team received a tip from the Narcotics Bureau. Qiao Jingxing wiped his mouth and said calmly, "Perhaps we should change our approach and help Chen Zhiming earn more."

Chung Chi-hui said, "Chen Chi-ming manages Wan Chai West, which has relatively few casinos. His income mainly comes from two sources: property rentals and smuggling."

"There's still some scalping and counterfeit goods business, but it's not enough to affect the overall situation."

Lin Tiansheng asked, "Would it be okay to take down the Shar-Peis?"

Zhong Zhihui shook his head slightly: "Lin Jiang and the others are unwilling to admit defeat, so they will push someone out to continue the selection. Taking down Shapiro is just a waste of bullets."

"Then let's change our approach. If we can't take down Shapiro, how about taking down Liang Zhenbang?" Lin Tiansheng revealed his true intentions.

Qiao Jingxing, Huang Qixian, and others paled slightly. If the remnants of the faction had previously been protecting themselves under the suppression of the elites, then eliminating Liang Zhenbang was their first direct challenge!
But following Inspector Lam's line of thought, if they could get rid of Leung Chun-pong and replace him with one of their own, then Shar-Pei Ma would be without protection and could be eliminated in no time. Regardless of who earns more money, Chan Chi-ming would inevitably be the head of the Sun Kee in Wan Chai. This would further strengthen Su Lung's power, exacerbate the internal strife within the Sun Kee, and achieve the goal of dismantling it.

“It’s worth a try.” Qiao Jingxing pondered for a long time before finally nodding. Pu Yongshi said, “We have to be careful of the backlash from those who speak foreign languages. It’s best to do it cleanly.”

"Don't cooperate with the gang, or you'll be sold out by Su Long," Zhong Zhihui said. The reason they didn't take the initiative to contact the gang like Liang Zhenbang was to manipulate Su Long, rather than cooperate with him.

“I remember the case file says that the Wan Chai branch was responsible for smuggling pork,” Lin Tiansheng asked.

Chung Chi-wai replied, "That's the biggest smuggling business in the Wan Chai branch."

Unlike later generations when Hong Kong Island continuously shipped large quantities of pork to the mainland, in the 1980s, Hong Kong Island's fresh pork was all supplied by the mainland, with the country's first and largest pig farm located in Guangdong Province.

Wan Chai has many restaurants and eateries, creating a high demand for pork. The gangsters then set their sights on fresh meat, smuggling it out by the ton.

In order to earn foreign exchange and support industry, during years of disaster and famine, the best fruits, meats and vegetables in China were given priority to be supplied to foreign countries.

For items that are inconvenient to transport, they can be canned or made into meat sauce.

“Then buy more of his pork, and openly tell outsiders that I’m going to promote him to power,” Lin Tiansheng said.

Zhang Jinrong asked in confusion, "Boss, why are you buying so much pork?"

Pi Zhibang's eyes lit up, and he picked up a dumpling from the bowl: "Making dumplings, you silly boy."
