Hong Kong films: Starting with Crossover and Luen Shing

"Big D, I've come to discuss some things with you on behalf of Ah Yao!"

Big D rolled his eyes: "Did the lawyer hired by the gang bring back a message?"

"No! He discussed countermeasures with me a few days ago."

He instructed me that as soon as the police arrested him and put him in jail, I should come find you and then do as he planned!

Longgen spoke in a low voice to Big D for a while.

The more Big D listened, the wider his eyes widened.

Only after Longgen finished speaking did he reach out and rub his numb face.

Are you sure that's what he told us?

"Long Gen, if this goes wrong, we and Lian Sheng will both be finished!"

"If you don't follow the Wo Luen Shing Foundation, you'll be finished too!"

Long Gen said with great concern, "This time, it was Commissioner of Police Cai Yuanqi who personally gave the order to remove the Wo Luen Shing signboard!"

Several of the nine district churches have had their stables cleared!

Seeing that Big D still looked hesitant, Longgen spoke again.

"Big D! Now, anyone in the Ninth District who gets close to Ah Yao has been taken to jail by the police!"

Do you think you can get away with this? You're next!

……

In Tai Po, a truck carrying chilled goods was parked on the outskirts of Tai Po Hei.

Dongguan guy jumped out of the car, and a henchman who had been waiting there for a long time immediately surrounded him.

"Boss, Lao Ding told me to give him a heads-up. Now all the businesses in Tai Po have been shut down by the police!"

Besides selling chilled seafood, we have nothing else to do.

The boss told me to tell you to do as the leader instructed before!

The Dongguan guy gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Did Uncle Quan give any instructions?"

"Uncle Quan said that we in Dapu should do our best and follow the leader's instructions."

If things really get too tough, go to the mainland and seek refuge with him!

"What else is there to say? Call out all the brothers from Dapu, and wait for news from the walled city tonight. We'll follow them all to the end!"

……

Evening, West Ring Triangle Pier.

A yacht is slowly heading towards the Haojiang River.

At the bow of the boat sat the two Jiang brothers.

With a cigar dangling from his lips, Jiang Tianyang gazed at the triangular pier receding into the twilight and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother, back in the day, Dad led the Chaozhou brothers to conquer the world at the Triangle Wharf. You were only eight years old then."

Thirty years have almost passed in the blink of an eye; time really flies!

Jiang Tiansheng seemed to be enjoying this rare atmosphere of brotherly respect and humility.

"Heaven provides for us, and each generation has its own responsibilities."

Today, Hung Hing is considered one of the leading triads in Hong Kong. Circumstances dictate our actions, and often we have no choice in the matter.

Jiang Tianyang was deeply moved.

"Now I understand my father's good intentions back then, why he insisted on sending me to Thailand."

He was farsighted and understood the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Even if our Chiang family doesn't survive this crisis, we'll still have a place to stay in Thailand.

"You don't need to be too pessimistic."

By the way, how's the investigation going with Zhang Hanshou and his associates in Thailand?

"Zhang Hanshou is a confidant of the mayor of Songkhla. The kinds of bad things they do are nothing new in Thailand."

There's no point in investigating him!

Jiang Tianyang took a puff of his cigar and then added.

"However, we can put a lot of effort into working on Hong Wengang."

I understand that this guy is involved in half of the human smuggling cases on Hong Kong Island.

If it all comes out at once, I don't know how the political department will handle it!

Jiang Tiansheng nodded: "One fat man like Li alone cannot put any pressure on the Political Department in terms of public opinion."

I can already imagine the scene where the Governor of Hong Kong, under pressure, abolishes the Special Branch.

However, don't delay with Fatty Lai any longer. Just wait for the Wo Shing Wo side to make their move, and you'll have him skinned alive!

Jiang Tianyang wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right. We Hung Hing raised a dog, but in the end, it wagged its tail and went to guard the door for the foreigners. This kind of trash should have been killed long ago!"

"Brother, I don't know why you saved him in the first place. If you had let him die at the hands of Wo Luen Shing, none of this would have happened today."

As they spoke, the yacht slowed down.

Not far away, a ferry was quietly moored in the sea, waiting to pick them up.

Jiang Tiansheng stood up and gave his younger brother a deep look.

He immediately said, "Tianyang, I'm entrusting Hung Hing to you during this time!"

I'm going on vacation to Europe, and I hope that when I come back, Hung Hing will be a completely different place.

……

Kowloon Walled City.

Tin Hau Temple Square in Dongcheng District has become a gathering place for many long-time residents of the former Walled City.

They watched Xiao Hui standing in front of the incense table with longing eyes, and when they heard that the projects under Hengyao Real Estate would be completely suspended, they couldn't help but get angry.

"Dear neighbors, it's not that Mr. He wants to give up the resettlement project he's working on."

As you all know, Mr. Ho disrupted the rules of the Hong Kong Island housing market by building resettlement housing for everyone in Lok Fu Estate!

Now these real estate tycoons have teamed up with foreigners and taken action. They've brought Mr. He to jail and fabricated a baseless charge against him!

Tomorrow, Hysan Development will come to the Walled City to acquire the land, and the unfinished resettlement housing in Lok Fu Estate will also face demolition.

When the demolition of the walled city is complete, everyone may have to squeeze into low-rent housing. I want to ask everyone, are you really willing to accept that?

With Xiao Hui's encouragement, someone immediately jumped out to agree.

"Fuck your mother! We've suffered for most of our lives in the Walled City, and finally Mr. Ho gave us a hand so we could live like human beings. Now these foreigners and real estate tycoons are going to jump out and sabotage us again?"

"Just tell us what Mr. He plans for us to do! We won't let these real estate developers have an easy time either!"

"Yes! There are thousands of residents in the walled city. I don't believe the cops can lock us all up!"

"Rather than living like a ghost, it's better to be locked up in a prison cell, at least they provide food!"

“That’s right! We’ll fight to the death for Mr. Wei this time. What did he do wrong?”

Just because they helped us poor wretches?!

……

What people fear most is finding hope in a desperate situation, only to watch helplessly as that hope is taken away.

Ho Yiu-chung was accused of murder, which led to the suspension of construction work at Heng Yiu Properties, with the residents of the Walled City being the most affected.

We have a stake in this; it's highly relevant!

These people are now like a pile of dry tinder doused in kerosene; a single spark could ignite a massive fire.

As night fell, amidst the fervor and anger of the crowd in Kowloon Walled City, the situation at the other stalls of the He Luen Shing Restaurant was no better.

Chuanbao drove himself to a shack area in Diaojingling.

This used to be his territory, but because there was really no money to be made in the Diaojingling area, this territory had been abandoned for many years.

"Idiot!"

A series of loud knocks rang the tin door of a shack, and immediately a dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man poked his head out of a nearby window.

Upon seeing that it was Chuanbao who had come in, he quickly came over to open the door.

"Old Ding, you...you came in person?"

Chuanbao walked into the house and found it to be in a mess, with not even a proper place to sit.

Sha Biao quickly ran to the bedside, moved aside the pile of clothes that hadn't been washed yet, and awkwardly smiled at Chuan Bao, gesturing for him to sit down.

Chuanbao didn't refuse and sat down directly.

Sha Biao is the leader of the gang. His wife died in childbirth in the squatter area when she gave birth to their second son because they couldn't afford to go to the hospital. He was left to raise a son and a daughter.

For years, he has been working at the night market in Kwun Tong, trying to find a spot to sell fish balls. He pays a token amount of a few dozen dollars a month to the triad for tea, barely enough to support his family of three.

Misfortune seems to target the unfortunate. Sha Biao, having worked tirelessly to support his two children, is now seriously ill and doesn't have much time left.

There are countless members like him in labor-intensive triads like Wo Luen Shing.

After Chuanbao sat down, he glanced at Shabiao's sallow face.

Where are your two kids?

"The older one is still helping me at the night market, and the younger one is learning to read at the night school near Po Leung Kuk. He should be back soon."

Chuan Bao nodded, then asked, "Do you know that the head of our company, Lian Sheng, has been taken to jail by the police?"

Sha Biao was immediately taken aback: "This... Old Ding, is it alright?"

Chuanbao sighed softly.

“This time, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) is serious. They fabricated a baseless charge against him for murder.”
