Hong Kong film: As a boss, I use money to make decisions.

Chapter 72 I want the money, and I want the territory!

At 8:30 p.m., in a low-rise building in Tai Hang West, Wan Chai, Liu Jianming took off his identification badge and threw it on the table.

He turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoru, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Mr. Lin, would you like coffee or hot tea?"

"I don't have the habit of drinking coffee late at night."

Lin Xiaoru was looking at a group photo that Liu Jianming had placed on the dining table.

The photo shows a young woman with cascading black hair resting her head on Lau Kin-ming's shoulder.

The girl was laughing happily, while Lau Kin-ming, though also smiling, had a hint of unease in his eyes.

A cup of hot tea was handed to her. Lin Xiaoru took the tea and looked up to ask.

"Officer Liu, you're dating someone?"

"Yes!"

Liu Jianming turned his head to look at the photo, gave a wry smile, and then sat down on the sofa.

"If it weren't for her, I doubt I'd be living such a stressful life right now!"

Lin Xiaoru smiled and changed the subject.

"Li Wenbin is dead, what's his attitude on that side?"

"What attitude can you have? Now that everyone who deserves to die is dead, let them get angry, and apply for death benefits if they want. They're not his son."

Liu Jianming sighed and continued.

"Li Wenbin only cares about this nephew so much. The transfer of Li Jiasheng to the 0th Bureau was actually the idea of ​​the Political Department."

Li Wenbin has never really paid much attention to people from the Political Department, but this time—”

"Alright, Officer Liu, I'm not interested in your police force's internal affairs."

I came to visit you tonight specifically to help you heal your emotional wounds!

Lin Xiaoru took a sip of her hot tea and then glanced at Liu Jianming a few times.

Liu Jianming paused for a moment, then his expression turned somewhat strange.

"Lin Sheng, you mean—"

"You've been tormented by Han Chen all these years, haven't you? Make a deal with me, and I'll help you get rid of Han Chen, and while I'm at it, I'll dig out all the dirt Han Chen has on you."

Until it's done, you're completely ashore!

Liu Jianming fell silent.

After a long while, he finally responded.

"Mr. Lin, let me ask something I shouldn't ask: what's the difference between being manipulated by Han Chen and being manipulated by you?"

Even if Han Chen dies, I'm just jumping from one fire pit to another!

"Of course it's different. When you work for Han Chen, you're risking your life for him. When you work for me, we're in a cooperative relationship!"

At least the police force didn't plant any moles around me, and at least I'm outwardly innocent!

"Inspector Liu, I won't push you to the brink. I guarantee you'll only rise through the ranks!"

Liu Jianming lowered his head. Who could say what the future held?

But he had no choice. At least for now, cooperating with Lin Xiaoru was much more comfortable than working for Han Chen.

"So, Han Chen is going to die?"

"That's right!"

Lin Xiaoru nodded, and then spoke.

"You should know better than me that the police have also planted spies around Han Chen, and there's no guarantee that Han Chen won't be defeated one day."

"When Han Chen is about to die, he might drag you all down with him and force you to self-destruct. I don't think you'd want to see that happen!"

Liu Jianming wholeheartedly agreed.

"That's right, Huang Zhicheng from Group A has been dealing with Han Chen for seven years."

Back then, the two had a pretty good relationship. Huang Zhicheng intended to promote Han Chen to replace the Ni family. Han Chen wasn't as crazy as he is now, and he would often leak information about the 0th Bureau.

They brought down the Ni family in Tsim Sha Tsui, but unexpectedly, they've become bitter enemies!

Liu Jianming took a deep breath and said wistfully.

"Even now, the 0 Bureau people keep asking me to dig out the mole that Han Chen planted in the police force, and Han Chen's side is also constantly urging me to dig out the 0 Bureau's undercover agents."

Sometimes I find it quite surreal, and I often ask myself, am I a human or a ghost?

Speaking out about things that are kept inside can be a relief.

Just like Liu Jianming, who had kept things hidden for so many years, suddenly revealed his true feelings to Lin Xiaoru, and for a moment he felt a sense of relief that he couldn't quite explain.

Lin Xiaoru just scoffed: "Han Chen has become so crazy now, you deserve a lot of credit for killing his wife."

Liu Jianming's expression froze, then he shook his head.

"That's his retribution!"

"Alright, let's get down to business. You need to find a way to put some pressure on Han Chen right now."

Tell him to collect all six months' worth of goods in one go as soon as possible.

"When he makes the deal, leak the information to me, and I'll take Han Chen's life for you. After it's done, I'll also give you all the dirty secrets Han Chen has been hiding!"

Liu Jianming's lips twitched slightly.

Over the years, he has been trying to find dirt on Han Chen and break free from Han Chen's control, but he has made no progress.

Seeing Lin Xiaoru's nonchalant demeanor, he momentarily wondered if the other party was lying to him.

After all, when he dealt with Han Chen before, he had never even heard Han Chen mention Lin Xiaoru's name!

However, Liu Jianming quickly stopped thinking about it.

The other party knows my background so well, perhaps there is some unspeakable force supporting me behind the scenes.

"You want to get both money and goods?"

"Take the goods and use them to write your report; I just want the money!"

Lin Xiaoru's response immediately put Liu Jianming at ease.

But before he could speak, he heard Lin Xiaoru continue.

"One more thing, after Han Chen's death, you need to find a way to keep Huang Zhicheng on your side. The mole he planted next to Han Chen can't rejoin the team yet!"

Liu Jianming was taken aback, and his gaze toward Lin Xiaoru was filled with even more astonishment.

"Do you know who that undercover agent is?"

"Of course I know, and I can tell you now."

That undercover agent is none other than Ni Kun's illegitimate son, Chen Yongren!

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianming's mind immediately went into a state of chaos.

He shook his head almost instinctively.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Chen Yongren almost took over the entire Ni family's shady businesses in Tsim Sha Tsui, and as Ni Kun's son, how could he possibly help the police bring down the Ni family?

"It's precisely because you think it's impossible that he was able to work as an undercover agent in Tsim Sha Tsui for so many years!"

It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. You'll know everything when he's reinstated.

But if you ask me, your police force is a bunch of useless idiots. You've planted a needle next to Han Chen, and after all these years, you still can't bring him down!

"It's not that we can't defeat Han Chen, the main problem is that the 0th Division knows that Han Chen has planted a mole in the police force."

"If we ghosts aren't dug out, the police will be hesitant to take action against Han Chen, fearing that we ghosts will escape justice and the investigation will become impossible."

Liu Jianming's expression was extremely unnatural when he said these words.

Lin Xiaoru smiled knowingly.

"Please stop calling yourself a ghost all the time. Do you have a choice?"

I've said so much to you before, but I don't think you listened to a single word. I'll say it again: Han Chen is dead, and you're an innocent police officer!

"But the police won't give up on tracking us down—"

"That's simple. Han Chen didn't just plant a needle in your name within the police force."

I will then find someone to leak some of the mole's dirty secrets to the police force.

"Then everything will be over, and no one will bother investigating you anymore!"

Liu Jianming's expression, which had been haunted by vengeful spirits, finally improved slightly, and he let out another long sigh.

If you take the wrong path, you can't turn back.

There was no other choice at the moment. Helping Lin Xiaoru kill Han Chen might not necessarily lead to death, but refusing Lin Xiaoru's request would mean certain death.

Therefore, he changed his tune: "Why kill Han Chen, but not allow Chen Yongren to return to the team?"

"It's not that we don't want him to return to the team, it's just that he can't return to the team right now."

99

Lin Xiaoru became serious and spoke in a deep voice.

"You need to understand who I am. I'm a gangster, and I like to take over territory!"

Everyone knows that Tsim Sha Tsui is the most prosperous area in Kowloon, and Luen Shing has been unable to enter it for decades.

At the beginning of next year, our current leader, Blowing Chicken, will be handing over the reins, and those who are elected will need to campaign for it by the end of the year!

Lin Xiaoru paused, then continued, worried that Liu Jianming might not understand.

"Among the candidates from the Wo Shing Society, two have already expressed their support. Let's not talk about Big D. Lam Wai-lok from Jordan shouted the slogan of leading the gang into Tsim Sha Tsui, and Fat Tang likes to support him!"

If I can seize Han Chen's territory in Tsim Sha Tsui before the chickens fall off, I can also run for office, understand?

Liu Jianming listened carefully and nodded.

"I understand what you mean. Most of Han Chen's territory was taken over from the Ni family."

Since the death of Ni Yongxiao, the second-generation head of the Ni family, only four of the five sons of the Ni family remain.

The eldest son is a doctor and has never been involved in the family's illegal business. The third son is idle and unlikely to amount to anything. The youngest daughter is already married.

Chen Yongren has worked for Ni Yongxiao for so many years, and his prestige in the Ni family's territory is the highest. So, without getting in touch with Chen Yongren, it's unlikely that Han Chen could completely seize the Ni family's territory. Are you trying to use Chen Yongren to stage another scenario where one generation plants the trees, and the next generation enjoys the shade?

Lin Xiaoru nodded and gave Liu Jianming a thumbs up.

"As expected of a key member of the intelligence department, communicating with you is so time-saving and worry-free!"

However, Liu Jianming still shook his head.

"There's something I don't understand. You and Chen Yongren are complete strangers, so how can you be so sure that he would take over Han Chen's territory and then pass it on to you?"

"You should understand."

A mocking smile appeared on Lin Xiaoru's face.

"They're all undercover agents. Just like you want to get rid of Han Chen completely, Chen Yongren is looking forward to returning to the team day and night."

Huang Zhicheng asked him to investigate the mole, right? I'll spill the beans to him then, I'm not afraid I won't get his support!

Liu Jianming felt a sudden twitch in his eyelids, and a sense of sorrow, like that of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox, welled up in his heart.

"So, what you meant by finding someone to leak information was finding Chen Yongren—"

Seeing Liu Jianming become anxious and uncertain again, Lin Xiaoru didn't bother to say anything more.

Dealing with someone like Liu Jianming requires a balance of relaxation and flexibility.

We shouldn't push him too hard, nor should we let him become too complacent.

We still have to do the thing of making an example of someone.

Around 10 p.m., in a single-story building in Yaodidao, Han Chen was sprawled on the sofa, squinting as he listened to a Cantonese opera on the radio.

This was a habit he picked up from Ni Kun when he was still working for him.

Before the song was finished, the cell phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.

Han Chen opened his eyes slightly, got up and turned off the radio, then picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Who?"

There are not many people in this world that Han Chen cares about, so much so that when he answers the phone, he always has that nonchalant attitude.

"Brother Chen, is it a convenient time to talk?"

Liu Jianming's voice came through the receiver, and Han Chen immediately raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's Officer Liu. I haven't heard from you in a long time."

"That's good, though. The fewer calls you make, the more at ease I am!"

"Brother Chen, to make a long story short, you need to hurry up and collect the goods from the Thai guys."

"If you don't have all the goods ready in a week at most, I'm afraid you won't have any business to do this year!"

Han Chen's brows immediately furrowed.

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know if you saw the news today, but Wang Bao from Decheng Street had one of his hitmen kill a policeman at Haihua Building this afternoon!"

This policeman is the nephew of Li Wenbin, the head of the 0th Division. Now, both the anti-drug squad and the 0th Division are very angry.

Tonight, the head of the task force called a meeting to discuss organizing a six-month-long anti-drug operation.

At this point, Liu Jianming stopped talking, just as he had been teasing Han Chen.

Han Chen gritted his teeth: "Go on!"

"Brother Chen, this is no joke. Tonight, the head of the finance and planning department has spoken up. They are willing to allocate some funds to increase the bounty for informants."

Previously, drug informants revealed that the reward for solving cases was one in ten, but now it has been reduced to one in five!

The anti-drug authorities have even declared that they will help all drug addicts in Hong Kong quit drugs this year!

After listening to Liu Jianming's explanation, Han Chen realized the seriousness of the matter. In the past, any actions taken by the police force were mostly all bark and no bite.

But hearing from Lau Kin-ming that the police force's purse strings are raising the bounty on informants really means something serious is going on!

Han Chen pondered for a moment, then let out a sinister laugh.

"Great! The more they investigate, the higher I'll sell my goods!"

Ideally, I'd sweep up all the powder stalls in Hong Kong; my stock is like gold on the market!

"Brother Chen, is there anything you need to tell me?"

"Not at the moment, I'll let you know by phone!"

"Okay! Nothing else, I'll hang up now, you should get some rest."

As soon as Liu Jianming hung up the phone, Han Chen's face immediately darkened.

After thinking for a long time, he finally got up and went into the bedroom.

Using the landline in my bedroom, I made a cross-border call. After several transfers, a "Sawasdee ka" finally came through the receiver.

"Sawasdee ka, Atai, how's the harvest in the Golden Triangle lately?"

"Oh no! There's been fighting over there lately, and the general's back garden has been bombed by artillery shells."

"Brother Chen, you're really well-informed! I was thinking of asking you if we should stock up on some goods in advance, since prices are definitely going to go up in the second half of the year!"

The Thai man on the other end of the phone spoke fluent Cantonese. After hearing what he said, Han Chen, who was still calculating how much stock to buy, immediately made up his mind.

With poor harvests in the Golden Triangle, the Hong Kong Island police force must spare no effort in its anti-drug campaign.

If he brings the goods back as soon as possible and stores them in his warehouse for two months without selling them, even if he sells them to Taiwan or Japan, his harvest this year could probably last for the next five years!

After a brief conversation, Han Chen finally hung up the phone, satisfied.

He has never doubted Liu Jianming's intelligence, not in the past, and not now.

Han Chen would never have imagined that Liu Jianming, whom he had always had under his thumb, had already dug a pit for him, just waiting for him to jump in and shovel the dirt!

For the past two days, things have finally calmed down a bit on Tak Shing Street.

However, things were only a little peaceful. Lu Guanhua's group was really efficient. Whenever they had free time, they would lead teams to sweep up Lin Huai Le's men.

People from Jordan have been arrested and released repeatedly on Tak Shing Street, and Lam Wai-lok has been racking up headaches with bail payments these past few days.

Finally, after checking with Aze, I discovered that this group of officers was only targeting them, while the group with the plane, even though they had people with them—

They were selling smuggled cigarettes on the streets, and the CID wouldn't even bother to glance at them.

Knowing what was going on, Lin Huai Le naturally understood what was happening. So that afternoon, he found Lin Xiao Ru and proposed that the venue on De Cheng Street be split in half as agreed. After Lin Xiao Ru nodded, De Cheng Street was peaceful that night.

The newly opened love hotel over there isn't getting any police checking IDs anymore, and the saunas aren't getting any license plate checks either.

At 8:30 p.m., Lin Xiaoru was sitting in the fruit market, peeling a mangosteen.

After peeling it and taking a bite, I couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Damn it, this year's batch is way too sour, and they're still selling it for such a high price?!"

Upon hearing this, the staff member who was cleaning the store smiled and put down the rag he was holding.

"Brother Xiao, this batch of mangosteens was brought back from Thailand. They were just picked and loaded onto trucks at the dock. It will arrive in two days."

"Let it sit for a day or two, and it won't be so sour anymore!"

"Will the Clippers arrive in a day or two?"

Lin Xiaoru spat out the mangosteen in her mouth and couldn't help but mutter something.

Logically speaking, two or three days have passed, and Liu Jianming should have received some news by now.

Is Han Chen, that bastard, really that calm?

Just as Lin Xiaoru was muttering to herself, the cell phone lying next to her rang.

I pressed the answer button, and it was Liu Jianming calling!

"Mr. Lin, is this a convenient time?"

"convenient!"

Lin Xiaoru immediately stood up and then called out to Taibao, who was squatting on the street chatting with Li Xiangdong not far away.

"Hey, give me the car keys!"

After taking the car keys from Taibao, Lin Xiaoru got into the car alone, closed the door, and then spoke into the phone.

"Has Han Chen made a move?"

"They acted very quickly; they received the goods at Sai Wan Mei Pier at 2 AM tonight!"

Liu Jianming's voice was very low.

Lin Xiaoru thought for a moment: "Do you know who went to collect this batch of goods?"

"His chieftain, Dilu!"

Do you know how much stock you received?

"I don't know, but I can guarantee there's a lot!"

Besides Hong Kong, Han Chen also sells goods to mainland China and Taiwan. He values ​​his reputation above all else, so the goods he sources are at least A+ grade – they won't be cheap!

Lin Xiaoru held the phone in one hand and tapped on the car window next to her with the other.

He glanced at his watch again, roughly went through the plan, and finally spoke.

"Tell Han Chen right away that it's not safe to receive the goods at Sai Wan Mei tonight."

Tell him to change the transaction location to Saigon, and while he's at it, find out where he is right now!

Lin Xiaoru had her own considerations.

Sai Wan Mei is a deep water area. If anything goes wrong, Han Chen's men can quickly steer away before the transaction is completed.

Most importantly, Sai Wan Mei is adjacent to the bustling city center, and less than two kilometers to the east is the headquarters of the Wan Chai Marine Police.

Once a shot is fired, the marine police will sound the sirens, and the Flying Tigers' helicopters will be dispatched!

Han Chen dared to engage in such underhanded tactics to prevent being double-crossed. It must be said that he was quite capable to have survived under Ni Yongxiao's control.

However, no matter how capable you are, you can't withstand someone who is prepared but not prepared. No matter how much you prepare, you can't win!

After giving Liu Jianming some instructions, Lin Xiaoru hung up the phone, rolled down the car window, and waved to Li Xiangdong, who was standing on the side of the street.

"Xiang Dong, get in the car, I need to talk to you about something!"

"good!"

Li Xiangdong, without suspecting anything, got into the car and grinned sheepishly at Lin Xiaoru.

"Boss, are you taking us out for some fun again tonight?"

"That's certainly stylish, but not by going to nightclubs!"

Listen up, there's a deal for you guys to do tonight. If you pull it off, you'll each get 800,000!

"How much? Eight hundred thousand!"

Li Xiangdong's eyes widened immediately, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"That's right, it's 800,000!"

But before I tell you how to do this business, there's one more thing you need to do.

"What's wrong?!"

""

"Take 100,000 yuan from me later, go to Chaguoling, and find a man named Qu Wangui."

Get him a batch of rifles that you're comfortable using. Remember, don't haggle over the price. After you've finished tonight, just set sail and sink the rifles into the sea!

You used to brag to me about how you guys fought in wars back in the day, but tonight I'm going to see just how capable you really are!

After Lin Xiaoru finished speaking, Li Xiangdong was both puzzled and excited.

He scratched his head, finally unable to hold back any longer, and asked directly.

"Boss, just tell us what we're going to do tonight, okay?"

There are different ways to fight fish feathers and different ways to fight the Sea Dragon King.

"You're saying this deal is worth 800,000, enough to take over the Governor's House! If you don't explain clearly, I have no idea what equipment to buy!"

Lin Xiaoru chuckled softly upon hearing this.

"Alright, I'll tell you now, tonight you're not going to fight either the Governor's House or the Dragon King of the Sea."

"Once you get the gun, drive straight to Leung Shuen Wan in Sai Kung and wait for my call. As soon as I call, kill everyone you see, leave no one alive!"
