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

Chapter 32 Grass Team
"Asheng".

Lin Tiansheng had just left the police station when he suddenly heard someone call him. He turned around and saw Huang Qixian. He threw away his cigarette butt, walked up to him and said, "Deng Bogang just called and wants to see you."

"Several times."

Lin Tiansheng was a little surprised. He put his hands in his pockets and said with a gloomy face, "Uncle Xian, the New Territories are too remote. I'm too lazy to go. Why don't you stay in the countryside and enjoy your life instead of thinking about meddling in West Kowloon every day?"

The Tang family is the most prominent of the five major surnames in the New Territories. Tang Yuk-cheung, the head of the family, has served in the Heung Yee Kuk for many years and owns the most land in the New Territories, earning him the title of "Emperor of the New Territories."

However, the New Territories are barren, lack development, and are not very profitable.

While the local gentry seized land in villages and towns, they always wanted to extend their reach into Kowloon and Hong Kong Island to challenge the foreign trading companies.

Therefore, they never hesitated to cooperate with Chinese leaders, whether it was Liu Fu, Lü Le, Zhong Shi Hansen, or Yan Xiong, they were all guests of honor of the gentry group after they came to power.

Huang Qixian sighed, "After the detectives ran away, some triad bosses, corrupt cops, and brothers were rescued by Uncle Deng. After the corrupt cops were released from prison, they joined the triads and became the Deng family's spokespeople. A considerable number of the brothers who stayed in the police force sided with Uncle Deng."

"Uncle Deng needs your prestigious reputation to completely take over Brother Le's power."

Lin Tiansheng said, "Uncle Xian, if we can't afford to offend him, can't we at least avoid him? We used to be on the same side, so why not keep our distance?"

“No, Ah Sheng, being a big boss means losing your old comrades.” Huang Qixian advised kindly, “You’ve rejected Uncle Deng again; be careful something bad might happen.”

Lin Tiansheng nodded: "Understood, thank you for the reminder."

“We’re family.” Huang Qixian raised his fist and lightly touched his chest, a smile spreading across his wrinkled face.

At noon, after driving back to Rongchang Building, Lin Tiansheng carried two boxed lunches home. He was slightly surprised to see that the floor and table had been cleaned again.

"You got the cleaning done in less than four hours?"

He raised the Citizen watch on his wrist, suspecting that Li Shaifeng might live on Shanghai Street, possibly even in the Rongchang Building.

I bought two boxed lunches specifically to see if I could see Ah Feng.

It's not about taking stock of the inheritance, but rather about being very grateful for Ah Feng's contributions.

According to the Women's Daily's calculations, a weekly cleaning job would cost at least HK$2,000, which is equivalent to his monthly salary.

Enjoying something for free without spending a penny, buying a boxed meal and verbally expressing gratitude is a common feeling.

Upon discovering that no one had taken the five hundred Hong Kong dollars left on the table, Lin Tiansheng felt that the former Five Poisons Detective had become somewhat heartless.

I don't like OK, hitting women is inappropriate, really inappropriate.

Lin Tiansheng crossed his legs, opened a can of iced cola, and thought about women for a fleeting moment before starting to think about making arrangements for Uncle Deng.

Now, Uncle Deng has turned the tables, stepping on the remnants of the gang, and even a considerable number of veteran police officers are working for him.

In their struggle for power, the two, though never meeting face to face, are already at odds. Unless he humbles himself, they will be irreconcilable enemies!

"The enemy is strong and we are weak. We must stir up trouble and make Uncle Deng hesitate to act rashly."

Perhaps Tang Yuk-cheung is an emperor in the New Territories, but in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and in the police force, he is far from having absolute power.

Since he has no intention of developing his business in the New Territories, there are plenty of ways to stir up trouble.

Zhong Zhihui knocked on the door and entered, bringing with her the scent of perfume. Lin Tiansheng chuckled, "Just saw your girlfriend off?"

"Girlfriend? Bed partner? Boss." Zhong Zhihui changed her shoes and entered the house, looking around. She sighed, "A small 1,000-square-foot apartment, no ocean view, no mountain view. It's fairly clean, do you have a maid?"

In the past, big shots wouldn't even look at houses like these.

Lin Tiansheng shook his head: "At my level, I hire servants. Do you think the ICAC can't find evidence when they come to my door? I just finished my promotion test today, and Uncle Xian said that Uncle Deng wants to see me again."

"Let's talk and see if there's any way to defend against him."

Among the five brothers, Zhong Zhihui not only has the highest education and the best mind, but also has many sources of information in the intelligence department. When discussing matters, Lin Tiansheng can avoid Zhang Jinrong, Chen Anquan, and Deng Gengyun, but he must discuss them with Zhong Zhihui.

After explaining the cause and effect and his concerns, Zhong Zhihui listened with narrowed eyes, raised his Coke, and said first, "Congratulations, boss, you've been promoted to assistant."

"The best piece in Deng Yuchang's hand is Senior Inspector Ji Zhengjie of the East Kowloon Serious Crime Unit."

A good move is not a grand strategy. Thanks to his uniform, the local tyrant had many means, but none of them could be used against him.

The gentry can easily destroy triads and ordinary businessmen, but they will never easily challenge public authority. This is because they are also part of public authority, but only in a lower position and do not play by the rules.

They are extremely vulnerable to being strangled by the vortex.

Chaos, iteration, and reshuffling are not what they want.

There aren't many suitable pieces to deal with Lin Tiansheng, and Ji Zhengjie, who also works in the Major Crimes Unit, is undoubtedly a key card. If a player wants to outmaneuver him, they will definitely play him.

Lin Tiansheng was lost in thought: "Ji Zhengjie? Never heard of him."

Chung Chi-hui said, "Back then, Han Sen and Uncle Deng were close, and those guys were the fastest to invest. In 1975, when Kei Ching-kit was a detective in the New Territories South, Uncle Deng went to great lengths to protect him. His boss, 'Robin,' was Uncle Deng's biggest asset."

"Don't worry about the East Kowloon Major Case. Strike the snake where it hurts most, capture the kingpin first. If we go after Ji Zhengjie, we're doomed. We must drag Uncle Deng down with us." Lin Tiansheng asked, "Do we have a grudge against Bearded Yong?"

"Playing the number gang?" Zhong Zhihui nodded intently: "I have a plan that can both drag Deng Yuchang down with us and unite the other old brothers. In the end, the fight is all about gaining power! It would be best to kill two birds with one stone, but that would require the big boss to cooperate in putting on a big show."

"The performance must be excellent."

The gang, known as the "Number Gang," has over 100,000 members, divided into several groups of 30-50 characters, and enjoys excellent relations with the New Territories gentry. Most of its members are New Territories thugs, and their main territory is also in the New Territories, with a significant area in Kowloon. Bearded Yung is the leader of the "Yee" group, with territory in Yau Tsim Mong, and over a thousand followers, making him a powerful figure. No evidence is needed to establish connections with people in the New Territories.

Moreover, among the various character groups within the Number Gang, apart from the core "Filial Piety" group, the larger the branch, the less they give face to the leader. As long as you have the ability to handle the person in charge of the character group, there's no need to fear the leader "Ge Shaoxiong" getting involved.

Lin Tiansheng, holding the soda can, instantly understood and laughed, cursing, "Damn it, if you want to stand out, you have to act."

Zhong Zhihui said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. The world is just a makeshift stage. Either you lie to me, or I lie to you. Life is a grand theater, and everyone is a good actor. Whoever performs well will stand out."

Lin Tiansheng nodded slightly: "You direct, I'll act. Remember to arrange the extras." In power struggles, wisdom is still the best weapon.

“That’s for sure,” Zhong Zhihui said with a relaxed smile.

Poor Bearded Yong, his lover kidnapped him to be sacrificed, and before they could even find out who did it, he was targeted by a group of vicious police officers.

Mong Kok, Golden Palace Beach.

A well-built young man in a suit with a thick beard, who was soaking his feet, sneezed and said unhappily, "Damn it, who's cursing me behind my back?"
