Han Bin and Thirteen Sister did not return to their own territory at this time, but instead stayed at the Pine Forest Villa to wait for Lei Hao's return.
Lei Hao smiled and shook his head, responding easily, "I'm fine. I'm just a nobody in the political department, someone who can't be brought to the table."
"Huh?" Han Bin was taken aback and asked in confusion, "How could agents from the Political Department be involved?"
Unlike Big D and the others who knew nothing about the Special Branch, Han Bin had been involved in smuggling for many years and had come into contact with a more complex range of people and things. He naturally understood that these so-called Special Branch agents were actually British government agents in Hong Kong.
Seeing that Mr. and Mrs. D were not very familiar with this, Han Bin immediately patiently and meticulously explained the background and functions of the Political Department to them.
This made Mr. and Mrs. D even more worried, and they hurriedly asked for the details of the matter.
Dongguan Boy then recounted in detail how Huang Jian, out of jealousy, tried to frame Lei Hao, but was stopped in time by Li Wenbin.
Seeing that Big D and the others were frightened, Lei Hao immediately reassured them, "Don't worry, Huang Jian is just an ordinary detective. If he dares to cause trouble, he'll be out of a job in Hong Kong."
“This guy dared to use his power to attack me. Not only would my uncle not agree, but even my two cousins wouldn’t stand idly by.”
"Either of them stepping forward is someone a lowly detective cannot afford to offend."
Hearing Lei Hao say that, Big D and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, with someone constantly watching Lei Hao around, they still felt somewhat uneasy.
"Ah Hao, how about we get someone to take care of him?" Big D suddenly said with a fierce glint in his eyes.
He wasn't going to let this guy who dared to threaten his family off easily.
Han Bin also seemed somewhat eager to make a move. Although the name of the Political Department sounded intimidating, Huang Jian was just a low-ranking detective. As long as he acted cleanly and efficiently, he shouldn't cause too much trouble.
He has just joined Lei Hao's circle and needs to perform well to gain deeper trust.
After all, he hadn't attended any of the real core gatherings yet, nor had he been able to formally get to know the important figures who were on the same ship as Lei Hao.
Lei Hao rejected their suggestion, explaining, "Sometimes, dealing with someone isn't simply a matter of killing them and calling it a day. That might seem simple and efficient, but it can actually cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Big D and Han Bin immediately became interested. It turned out that Lei Hao wasn't refusing to take action, but rather he didn't intend to take lives easily and had a better solution.
Lei Hao continued his analysis: "Huang Jian was rejected by Cindy and then ran into a wall with me. He will definitely drown his sorrows in alcohol when he gets back."
At this point, Lei Hao paused and turned his gaze to Thirteen Sister beside him.
"At this moment, if a mature, sexy, and intellectual woman happens to appear next to a drunk Huang Jian, he will be absolutely powerless against her."
"We can completely seduce him first, then take him to an underground casino and make him incur huge debts. Then we can control him however we want, right?"
After hearing Lei Hao's words, Big D, Han Bin, and Thirteen Sister all nodded in agreement.
This method of setting a trap and cleverly controlling people is indeed more effective than simply killing Huang Jian.
Moreover, if there are any matters that they find inconvenient to handle personally, they can ask Huang Jian to take care of them, so that his people in the police force don't have to take too much risk.
In this way, we can both use him to do things and make him bear the infamy, and make him suffer unbearable pain. It's even more satisfying than killing him directly!
Han Bin and Thirteen Sister exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of apprehension in each other's eyes, while secretly rejoicing that they had become Lei Hao's allies.
Thirteen Sister suddenly spoke up, her tone tinged with worry: "Lei Sheng, the death of Sha Meng will likely cause quite a bit of trouble. I'm worried that someone is deliberately trying to provoke a conflict between you and the Dongxing Gang."
She paused, then continued her analysis: "By now, Camel should have learned of Sandman's death. One of the Five Tigers of East Star died so mysteriously; I'm afraid he will not let this go."
While Thirteen Sister was speaking, Han Bin quickly glanced at Lei Hao and Big D's faces.
The death of the sand bug came too suddenly, and Han Bin couldn't be completely sure whether it really had nothing to do with Lei Hao and the others.
If he is indeed connected to them, it could very well trigger a large-scale conflict with the East Star Gang, which would not be a good thing for him.
Lei Hao knew their worries and immediately said with a smile, "You don't need to worry. The police have already found out the cause of Sha Meng's death. He died because he fell while drunk, which caused his heart to rupture due to pressure."
Han Bin and Thirteen Sister breathed a sigh of relief. Although the cause of death sounded absurd, since this was the final conclusion given by the police, it was most likely true.
Unless it is proven that the sand bug was murdered, the blame will not fall on Lei Hao.
...
Yuen Long, Tung Sing Tong.
"Who did this?! Who was it?! I'll tear him to pieces!"
The camel roared deafeningly in the hall, terrifying all the underlings present into silence, not daring to utter a sound.
He slammed his fist on the table, the cups and plates rattling and making a crisp sound, clearly demonstrating the extreme anger in his heart.
The death of the sand bug infuriated the camel to the point of wanting to explode.
He had gone to great lengths, even using Zhao Guomin's connections, to bail Sha Meng out, but now he died so mysteriously.
This was undoubtedly a blatant provocation against him and a huge blow to his personal reputation, making him feel humiliated like never before.
More importantly, the location of the warehouse where the sand bugs hid the laundry detergent has not yet been revealed.
There was a shipment of laundry detergent worth up to HK$200 million there. If he couldn't find it, he would have truly lost everything.
Seeing the enraged camel, the crow dared not utter a sound, but instead quietly nudged the smiling tiger's waist, signaling him to quickly step forward and persuade the camel.
The person is dead and the goods can't be found, so getting angry here won't do any good.
Smiling Tiger sighed inwardly and said cautiously, "Boss, we just received news from the police that Sandman fell while drunk, which compressed his heart and caused it to rupture..."
Before he could finish speaking, Camel glared at him and snapped, "Does the police mean it was an accident? There aren't that many coincidental accidents in this world!"
Smiling Tiger was startled and cautiously asked, "Boss, do you mean that Sand Bug's death wasn't an accident?"
Camel said quietly, "I do hope this was just an accident, but I'm afraid it wasn't... We've only just reached a reconciliation with Lei Hao, and clearly someone doesn't want us to shake hands and make peace so easily."
"And I've also heard that there are indeed some top-notch killers who can cleverly stage their deaths as accidental and leave the police with no useful evidence."
If he didn't know the inside story, he might have thought Sandman's death was an accident, but now he could no longer deceive himself into believing it was an accident.
After receiving news of Sandman's death, he immediately called Big D and questioned him about the matter.
But before he could finish speaking on the phone, he was severely reprimanded by Big D.
"Camel, are you fucking crazy? My business is booming, why would I bother killing your people? Do you think I'm like you guys, all you know is fighting and killing and taking over territory?"
Big D's disdainful and mocking tone nearly made Camel lose his temper on the spot.
But Camel had no way to refute it, because what Big D said made perfect sense. They were making a lot of money with their younger brother Lei Hao, so there was no need for them to compete with them for territory and profits.
However, as the head of the Tung Sing gang, he could not possibly remain indifferent to the mysterious death of his subordinate.
This is not only about Sandman's life, but also about the face and prestige of the East Star Society.
He had to give an explanation to his subordinates and also demonstrate the Tung Sing Gang's tough stance to the entire underworld.
Now that Big D's side had been cleared of suspicion, Camel unleashed his fury in the East Star's headquarters.
Thinking of what Camel had just said, Smiling Tiger agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Yes, although we had a bit of a disagreement with the Lei brothers last night, it hasn't come to the point of a complete falling out."
"They're already making too much money from legitimate businesses, so there's no need for them to continue getting involved in the underworld. Therefore, it's highly likely that the Sand Mang incident wasn't their doing."
Seeing that the smiling tiger had followed his train of thought, the camel nodded in satisfaction.
"That's why I immediately contacted Big D to verify the news of Sandman's death, and the police also said they didn't have time to commit the crime."
He looked thoughtful. "What I'm worried about now is who's behind this. There are quite a few forces that want to provoke a conflict between us and sit back and watch the tigers fight."
Smiling Tiger also looked troubled. People like them who were involved in gangs already had many enemies. Now that such a thing had suddenly happened, it was indeed not easy to find out who was behind it.
"Boss, what should we do now?" the crow, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked.
Camel's eyes turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "Issue a bounty in the martial arts world. Anyone who can provide clues about the person behind the killing of Sandfly will receive a reward of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars!"
"A reward of 500,000 just for providing information?" Crow said incredulously, thinking he had misheard. "Boss, isn't that a bit too much? If others keep deceiving us with fake information, we can't afford it!"
Camel waved his hand and said decisively, "Not at all! And this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. I don't think anyone can really provide useful information."
"But this shows the East Star Gang's attitude: whoever kills our people will pay the price!"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he continued, "Until the news is confirmed, no one, regardless of who they are, will receive a single penny. If they're trying to scam us, then we'll use them to enhance the prestige of Dongxing!"
The smiling tiger and the crow exchanged a glance and couldn't help but admire the camel's experience, as it had considered all possible scenarios.
The most urgent task is to spread the word about the HK$500,000 reward as soon as possible.
Chapter 78: At the Wo Luen Shing headquarters, Big D intimidates the entire audience.
The news immediately caused a huge uproar in Hong Kong's underworld, triggering an unprecedented sensation.
After all, the huge reward of HK$500,000 for simply providing intelligence without having to do anything personally is something that makes countless people envious.
Whether they were members of gangs or lone wolves, they were all like sharks that had smelled blood, restless and unable to suppress their greed and desires.
For a time, the entire Hong Kong Island was in turmoil, with undercurrents surging.
Many people hope to get a share of the profits and reap this hefty reward.
Teahouses, taverns, nightclubs, mahjong parlors—anywhere that could gather people from the underworld—were filled with whispers and discussions about the bizarre cause of Sha Meng's death and the tempting huge sum of money involved in the scheme.
A tense yet exciting atmosphere began to fill the air. The immense allure of money, like an invisible yet vast net, firmly enveloped the entire Hong Kong underworld.
Tsuen Wan, Lei's Holdings.
Lei Hao was hunched over his desk, completely absorbed in sketching something on the paper with his pen.
"Brother Hao, everyone's talking about it like crazy outside... Camel really went all out!"
In the office, the advisor Su couldn't help but sigh at the huge sensation caused by the HK$500,000 bounty on Camel.
