Hong Kong variety show: From a lowly 49-year-old to the world's richest man

Chapter 79 Why don't you become his godfather?

Huang Bingyao had to admit that Chen Fan was very bold and had a rich imagination.

They actually dared to try to overthrow the Ni family with just three people.

If this succeeds, won't they look like clowns after investigating the Ni family for so many years?

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "It's impossible to bring down the Ni family, but we can create rifts within them."

"What kind of cracks could bring down the Ni family?"

Huang Bingyao was puzzled.

No matter how big the crack is, Ni Kun's attempt to cut off his own arm is still futile.

"Ni Kun has been trying to clean up his image over the years, so he wanted to transfer his black market business to Han Chen. However, he was afraid that Han Chen was too ambitious and would turn on him, so he kept making Han Chen do dirty work."

Because of this relationship, Han Chen was looked down upon by the other four leaders. The four leaders were only attached to the Ni family because they were intimidated by Ni Kun's power. Their internal discord was no secret.

If Ni Kun were to use some kind of "winter melon and tofu" at this time, do you think the Ni family would be in a different situation?

Ni Kun never chose his son as his successor from the very beginning, and his purpose was all too clear.

The Ni family is currently at a critical juncture in its efforts to clean up its image. Once Ni Kun successfully separates the three businesses—the legitimate and the criminal underworld—the Ni family will be able to go straight and make a clean slate. It will be very difficult for the police to arrest Ni Kun again, and if something really happens, Han Chen will become Ni Kun's scapegoat.

But if Ni Kun dies, the Ni family will be without a leader, and it will be difficult to suppress the ambitions of the major leaders.

Even though Ni Yongxiao obtained evidence through special channels that Guohua and Heigui had cheated Gandhi, he still had to use 4

It took years to completely settle accounts with these individuals.

It is evident that Ni Kun did not allow him to touch any "family affairs" before his death.

Otherwise, given Ni Kun's accumulated resources, Guo Hua and the other three would have been dead the moment they harbored rebellious intentions.

Come to think of it, Chen Fan didn't seem to have paid much attention to Chen Yongren's storyline. The time he mentioned it to Jiang Tiansheng was just a casual remark based on his understanding of the plot.

Upon closer reflection, Chen Yongren is probably still at the police academy at this moment.

"What makes you so certain that Huang Zhicheng and Han Chen, a married couple, can get rid of Ni Kun?"

Huang Bingyao also spent some time learning about the Ni family. Although Ni Kun seemed to have been out of the picture for a long time, he was always the one truly in charge of the Ni family.

If Ni Kun really dies, the Ni family will indeed be in chaos. How long and how chaotic it will be will depend on the ability of the successor.

However, it seems that none of Ni Kun's children have ever been involved in the Ni family's business.

"As I said, Mary served Ni Kun, and the betrayal of one's bedmate is often the most deadly."

"That also lacks motivation; Han Chen is now Ni Kun's right-hand man—"

Chen Fan interrupted, "Boss, there's a difference between a master and a dog, okay?"

"I won't say more. You need to find a way to put pressure on Huang Zhicheng, so that he can only achieve success by keeping a close eye on the Ni family. He will naturally exert his efforts."

He also knew that Huang Bingyao asked so many questions in order to minimize the risks, but to achieve great things, one must go through storms.

Given Huang Bingyao's loyal and righteous character, once he sees through Huang Zhicheng's true colors—treating undercover agents as mere expendable resources—he will definitely do everything in his power to make this plan work.

"Alright, we'll do it your way. But you have to promise me that Ada won't get too involved. If your life is in danger, give me a signal immediately, and I'll gather a massive army to rescue you."

"Boss, I'm relieved to hear that. But I doubt you have a spies named 'Thousand Army' and 'Ten Thousand Horses' under your command, right?"

"You bastard, I'm serious. If this gets exposed, you'll all be dead." Huang Bingyao pointed at Chen Fan's nose and cursed, "Damn it, I'm so unlucky to have run into a troublemaker like you."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. "But without me, your epaulets will probably have to sit for a few more years."

"Hey! Don't get cocky. My scissor kicks don't have eyes; they could crush your head at any moment!"

"I understand. I'm really scared right now, scared to death."

Chen Fan pinched his neck, pretending to be half-dead.

Old Huang is a good person to get along with!

"By the way, buddy, would you like some takeout?"

"What takeout?" Huang Bingyao said with a straight face and a serious expression, "I won't hang out with shady people. If you want to send a 'Pink Skull' to deal with me, at most it will corrupt my body, but it won't corrupt my heart."

"Crazy."

Chen Fan was embarrassed. This guy was really shameless and his thinking was really crooked. Helplessly, he folded the newspaper over and pointed to the eye-catching red headline.

"Take a look at this—"

Huang Bingyao peeked at the newspaper and said, "Don't tell me you have information about Zhu Tao."

The headline news was about the failed operation to hunt down Zhu Tao in "Police Story 1," with Zhu Tao being arrested but released on parole due to lack of evidence to convict him.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I've heard a little bit of a rumor."

"Then tell me!"

"I'd like to say that, but intelligence gathering comes at a cost."

Huang Bingyao's face immediately darkened, and he asked with a grim expression, "How much do you want this time?"

"Zhu Tao is a big fish, he should be worth at least 500,000."

'

""

"Don't be so stern. I'm talking about irrefutable evidence that can send Zhu Tao to Stanley."

Huang Bingyao's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Pearls are not so real."

"I want to inspect the goods first!"

Chen Fan shrugged, "Then that's no fun."

It wasn't that he didn't trust Huang Bingyao, but given the other party's shamelessness, the money might have to be halved before he could get it.

Stephen Chow is the best example.

They speak kindly and politely when they're trying to lure people in undercover, but once they're inside, they show a completely different face.

"Don't you trust me?"

"No, how could I dare to question you? It's just that the rule in the underworld is cash on delivery, and I have to follow the rules when I'm in this business."

"Oh, you're talking to me about rules? I have the right to detain you for forty-eight hours. Do you want to try what it's like in a detention cell?"

"It doesn't matter, I've already hired a top lawyer. You can handle that Chen Tianyi from last time, I'd be willing to spend a year in detention without any problem."

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Huang Bingyao couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This Chen Guozhong is becoming more and more careless in his work. Even after repeated reminders, problems still arise."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's lips twitched.

Good heavens, this fatso really wanted to put him in the detention room!

"Based on what you just said, anything less than 600,000 is out of the question."

"Trying to raise prices on my turf? You think I won't smash your head in with my iron palm?"

"If you're so confident, then go ahead and film it."

Chen Fan leaned forward to look.

Seeing Chen Fan actively approaching him, Huang Bingyao was once again put on the hot seat.

If you strike with this palm, you'll be torn apart; if you don't, you'll lose face.

Depend on!

This kid has no martial ethics, he actually checked his hand!

"Boss, I know you're afraid I'll screw you over, so I won't make things difficult for you. I'm going to visit some old friends from my Wong Chuk Hang days at the Sha Tau Kok Police Station later."

Although he was down on his luck, having caused a major disaster in the Zhu hunt and unable to afford the hundreds of thousands in informant fees, he still shared half of his two yuan with me to buy soda.

The friend Chen Fan mentioned was naturally the detective Chen Jiaju.

Chan Ka-kui was a fellow student who received police officer training with him in 81.

Unfortunately, even though he went undercover, the other party was still a police officer, just with his rank fluctuating. According to the timeline of "Police Story," it would take another year for Chan Ka-kui to become a probationary inspector.

This operation to hunt down the crows failed, and he once again became the scapegoat, being transferred from the Central Police Station to Sha Tau Kok to collect cow dung and guard ponds.

He's a friend, after all; I'll lend a hand if I can.

Unfortunately, Chen Fan didn't have time to deal with Zhu Tao, otherwise he would have liked to capture this scoundrel, squeeze every last drop of value out of him, and then send him to fill the sea.

Huang Bingyao asked in surprise, "You and Chen Jiaju were classmates?"

"I started working in 82. Going back further, wasn't that when I went to Huangzhukeng in 81? Luo Ji and I were both released. He won the Silver Rooster Award and picked up the garbage we didn't want."

"Fine, I give up. The 500,000 will be in your account tomorrow. Don't try to pull strings with me; I don't have the money!"

Huang Bingyao never expected that Huang Zhukeng in 81 would produce three promising talents.

It's a pity that two promising talents were ruined and turned into undercover agents, one of whom even went astray and robbed the police station.

# Damn banana people, they're real beasts!

"Alright, contact Uncle Da tomorrow to get the information."

"You better be telling the truth. If you can't sue Zhu Tao, I'll make you pay back the principal and interest."

"Don't worry, if you can't appeal to Zhu Tao, I'll help you get him to do the land reclamation project."

Boom boom boom!

Just as Chen Fan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Inspector Wong, there's a barrister outside named Chan Tin-yee who wants to see his client, Mr. Chan Fan."

Upon hearing this, Huang Bingyao glanced at Chen Fan, waved his hand, and said, "Go give a statement, and get out of here as soon as possible."

"Okay!"

After Chen Fan left, Huang Bingyao locked the door again and picked up the phone to contact Lin Leimeng, the superior of Chen Jiaju's superior.

He had recently applied for HK$500,000 in informant fees, and the quota was already too low. Since Zhu Tao's lead belonged to the Central Police Station, he couldn't very well take it from them. He would ask them to reimburse him HK$700,000 to HK$800,000 in informant fees and gain a favor. He was quite pleased with himself!

Accompanied by Chen Tianyi, Chen Fan gave a brief statement and then left.

When saying goodbye to Chen Tianyi, Chen Fan did not forget to remind him to finish the previous request as soon as possible.

Having already received the check in advance, Chen Tianyi practically guaranteed that he could file a lawsuit within three days.

Chen Fan did not doubt the other party's business capabilities, but simply said that he would use a porcelain vase worth eighty or ninety thousand yuan from last week as a thank you after the matter was completed.

Returning to Tuodi from the police station.

Chen Fan met Han Chen, the representative from the Ni family who had brought the money!

"Hey, isn't this Brother Chen? What brings you to my humble abode?"

"Brother Fan, you're too kind. I'm here on Uncle Kun's instructions to deliver some compensation for emotional distress. I wonder if our Brother Gandhi has finished his tea here?"

Han Chen smiled and pointed to the bag on the table.

The bag was opened, revealing large gold bull bills with many small zeros.

Chen Fan looked around and shouted, "Uncle Da, the count!"

"They're here!"

Uncle Da ran quickly over from the corner.

Chen Fan continued, "Brother Chen, you didn't send anyone to stop me from getting the territory, did you?"

Han Chen raised an eyebrow. "Haven't your people already been taken over?"

"Really?" Chen Fan asked Cao Dahua for confirmation, "Uncle Da, did it go smoothly?"

"Successfully, their people withdrew quickly, but it's hard to say what will happen later."

Han Chen said, "We won't bother you for a month. If Gandhi wants to fight back after a month, the rest of us won't interfere. It's none of our business if other gangs want to take it."

"Then there's no problem. I don't think any triad can compare to the Ni family's financial resources, unless they want to go toe-to-toe with Uncle Kun."

O

"Brother Fan, Uncle Kun asked me to pass on a message to you: let bygones be bygones today. If Gandhi, Guohua, or the others provoke you in the future, he won't take action. He also hopes that you won't involve the Ni family in your dealings with them."

Han Chen didn't really understand what Ni Kun meant by telling him to convey those words.

Based on his understanding, Chen Fan was just a small-time hoodlum who was a bit more skilled and quick-witted; there was no way he could possibly frighten Ni Kun.

But Ni Kun brought up these humble remarks. Could it be that Chen Fan has a special identity that Ni Kun hasn't discovered?

"Is Uncle Kun in such a hurry to distance himself from them? Well, he's made enough money, it's time for him to make way for the younger generation. When are you taking over Uncle Kun's position, Brother Chen?"

Han Chen was startled and quickly said, "Brother Fan, you can't say things like that. Uncle Kun has been very kind to me, how could I be ungrateful?"

"Brother Chen, stop pretending. Uncle Kun has a house full of children and grandchildren."

"But he had so many sons to choose from, yet he only picked you to groom. Isn't that treating you as his successor?"

Chen Fan paused for a moment, then said, "If I were you, Brother Chen, I would have already become Uncle Kun's godfather."

"Being part of Uncle Kun's family wouldn't be a bad deal, Brother Chen, haven't you considered it?"

,

Han Chen remained silent.

This was the first time he had ever heard such outrageous remarks.

However, it seems there's a real possibility. That old devil has been testing his loyalty, and having a godfather make him feel more at ease seems like a good idea.

Who knows, that old devil might get so happy that he'll give him all the business.
