Hong Kong variety show: I wanted to be a lawyer, but I became a big shot.

Now that Lian Haodong had given the order to retreat, the group of henchmen symbolically fired a few shots outside, then turned and disappeared into the dark alley, running faster than rabbits.

Elite troops, loyalty—it's all bullshit in the face of a gun.

Seeing this, Ah Wu quickly called over a few of his trusted henchmen and asked them to protect him and Lian Haodong as they evacuated through another exit.

"Brother Dong, we'll protect you as you leave!"

Lian Haodong nodded slightly, deeply moved.

It's truly remarkable that there are still people willing to follow him when the tree falls and the monkeys scatter.

But just then, he suddenly discovered a problem.

Where is Afa?

He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ah Wu.

"What happened to that bastard, Ah Fa?"

Have you seen him?

Ah Wu paused for a moment, then turned and glanced at the few henchmen around him.

The henchmen looked at each other, and all shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen Ah Fa.

Ah Wu's face also darkened.

"That bastard, did he abandon us and run away first?"

Lian Haodong was so angry that he started cursing.

"Okay, okay!"

"When I get back, I'll report this to the boss and make sure he handles it impartially!"

Upon hearing this, the other underlings felt a chill, but Ah Wu secretly curled his lip.

He didn't say anything, but he was making plans in his mind.

Now, Zhongxinyi is all show and no substance. They can't even distribute rations this month. And Haodong is still here arranging some kind of gang rules.

Tonight, even the duck that was about to be eaten has flown away; loyalty and integrity will only cause more harm.

Who knows what will happen when we get back?

It seems I need to plan my escape route in advance.

As Ah Wu followed Lian Haodong through the alleyways, he secretly thought to himself.

The ship of loyalty and righteousness is already leaking, and no matter how loyal Ah Wu is, he doesn't want to sink with it.

......

Just after Lian Haodong and his men successfully escaped through the secret passage of the walled city, Wang Jianguo and his men took over Kowloon Walled City completely.

The gunfire stopped.

The walled city was in complete disarray.

The ground was littered with shell casings and bloodstains, the walls were riddled with holes, and black smoke was still billowing from several places.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood, a smell that was nauseating.

Wang Jianguo stood at the highest point of the fortified village, looking down at this legendary lawless land.

He hadn't taken off his tactical vest yet, his face was covered with a thin layer of dust, and his gaze steadily swept across his surroundings.

Under his command, security personnel quickly took action, sealing off all entrances and exits of the fortress, controlling several high points, and beginning to clear the battlefield.

The injured were gathered together to treat their wounds, while the bodies were temporarily piled up in one place, awaiting unified disposal.

Wang Jianguo was not in a hurry to rest.

He found the surviving members of the former Dragon City Gang in the Walled City and gave them two choices: either cooperate or get lost.

The Dragon City Gang members looked at each other, then at the group of fully armed and menacing security personnel around them, and they all cowered in fear.

"We...we will cooperate."

With the guidance of these local thugs, Wang Jianguo easily found the black money that Tornado had hidden in the city walled city.

It was a hidden basement, with the entrance concealed beneath the kitchen floor of a grocery store. Without someone familiar with the area to guide you, it would be impossible for an outsider to find it.

The basement was piled high with cash.

Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, British pounds, and Chinese yuan were neatly stacked in bundles and packed in more than a dozen metal boxes.

Wang Jianguo roughly estimated that it must be worth at least hundreds of millions.

That's quite a grand gesture.

Tornado had been running his business in the walled city for most of his life, and his accumulated wealth was indeed substantial.

Wang Jianguo had all the boxes moved out, counted them, and registered them one by one.

Each bundle of money was counted to ensure the amount was correct before being resealed and transported to a designated place for safekeeping.

After doing all this, Wang Jianguo arranged for the cleanup work in Chengzhai.

He sent people to appease the frightened neighbors, promising that everything would remain the same after Hung Hing took over the walled city and that they would not be made to suffer.

Continue doing your business as usual, and pay the protection money to Hung Hing later. The amount will not be a penny more than during the tornado era.

The neighbors' faces showed a complex expression when they heard this.

They had certainly heard of Hung Hing; it was one of the top triad societies in Hong Kong.

Although Tornado was domineering, he had been operating in the Walled City for many years and had some connections with them since they saw each other all the time.

Now that Hung Hing is in charge, who knows if it will become even more corrupt?

But when they looked at the group of armed security personnel behind Wang Jianguo, and then at the bloodstains on the ground that hadn't dried yet, they all chose to remain silent.

At times like this, no one dares to stand up and object.

The surviving members of the Dragon City Gang were filled with mixed emotions.

The walled city was originally their territory, but now it has become Hung Hing's possession.

Some people had the thought of resisting, but when they thought of the enemy's overwhelming firepower and numerical superiority, they silently gave up the idea.

No sooner had the hungry wolves left than a pack of tigers arrived.

That's their fate.

Once everything was arranged, Wang Jianguo found a quiet place, took out his satellite phone, and dialed Lin Bei's number.

The phone rang twice before being answered.

"Mr. Lin, I have not failed you."

"We have successfully taken over Kowloon Walled City."

Lin Bei's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Hahaha!"

"Well done, Jianguo!"

"You deserve a big credit this time!"

Wang Jianguo smiled, then composed himself and reported to his superior:

"All the money from the tornado has been found. A rough count shows that all the cash totals around HK$100 million."

"There are also some gold bars and jewelry, quite a lot of them."

"Everything has been inventoried, cataloged, and properly stored, awaiting your instructions."

"very good."

Lin Bei's voice came through the receiver, clear and strong.

"All of Tornado's personal assets have been stored away and registered, and will serve as our leverage in negotiations with Tornado tomorrow."

"Remember, not a penny less."

"Yes, Mr. Lin!"

Wang Jianguo responded and only put away the satellite phone after the call ended, then turned and walked deeper into the fortified village.

He still has to keep an eye on the cleanup work; tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

......

Haojiang.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Bei smiled and raised the champagne in his hand, waving it at Liang Kun sitting opposite him.

"Boss, look how smoothly this went."

Liang Kun took the wine glass from Lin Bei, and the two gently clinked the crystal glasses together, producing a crisp sound.

"We've taken the city walled city, and now we have Tornado's assets in our hands."

Lin Bei took a sip of champagne, unable to hide the smile on his lips.

"We'll negotiate tomorrow. Even if Tornado is a million times unwilling, he'll have to grit his teeth and cooperate with us."

"Without a stronghold, without money, he is nothing as the leader of the Dragon City Gang."
