Chapter 022 The Warlords
It's easy to draw a dragon or a tiger, but hard to draw their bones; it's easy to know a person's face, but hard to know their heart. Chen Piao didn't believe he could convince Shark Boy with just a few words.
Right now, what Shark says isn't important; what he does is!
However, Shark Boy is indeed the younger brother I am most comfortable with. Take the three dishes on the table, for example: soy sauce chicken, salted egg yolk char siu, and stir-fried water spinach. They are all my favorites.
As he shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, he began to believe that what Shark Boy had just told him was from the heart.
Shark seemed to have a poor appetite; after all, his emotions had been fluctuating so much that it would be difficult for anyone to calm down.
He picked up a piece of water spinach with his chopsticks, chewed it twice, and then put the chopsticks down.
"Brother Piao, you're not asking me to pledge my allegiance, are you?"
"You guessed right. You've been keeping an eye on me for Inspector Wong for two years. If you don't pledge your loyalty, it'll be really hard for me to consider you a brother anymore!"
Shark Boy couldn't help but sigh.
"Although Inspector Wong is a man... I still feel a little reluctant to kill him..."
"You! How could you be so cruel? Do you know that killing a police officer is a very serious crime?!"
Chen Piao almost spat out his food. He quickly put down his chopsticks and said in a serious tone.
"Listen, I'm just telling you that there's no future in being an undercover agent, and that you're pledging your allegiance. It doesn't necessarily mean I'm asking you to kill someone!"
Seeing that you look so troubled, I might as well just tell you everything clearly.
I know where Han Chen has a shipment stored. Right now, we need money to establish ourselves in Tsim Sha Tsui.
I need you to act as a contact person and make a small fortune in the name of this shipment!
Shark Boy's eyes widened in surprise: "Loose stuff? Brother Piao, I remember you always taught us that once you're tainted with drugs, there's no going back?!"
"I didn't ask you to go and distribute the goods!"
Chen Piao explained with a serious expression: "This guy, Zha C, after joining Chung Shun Yi, has been helping Chung Shun Yi's gang cause trouble in Yau Tsim Mong lately."
Zhongxinyi started out selling drugs, so if Han Chen suddenly had a batch of drugs to sell at a low price, do you think they would be interested?
"Isn't that still selling followers?"
"Sell your mother! Have you forgotten who you are now? You're a policeman!"
In the noodle stall business, it's all about cash on delivery. You never knew you'd be leaking information to Inspector Wong during the transaction.
If you dumped over 20 million worth of goods on him, he'd be laughing all the way to the bank!
Shark immediately showed a look of sudden realization.
"I get it! Brother Piao, so it was a case of the thieves dominating the thieves!"
"What kind of double-crossing is this? Remember, none of those who sell drugs are good people."
"You, as a cop, shouldn't feel any guilt about the money from Hei Zhongxinyi!"
Shark scratched his head.
"Now that you mention it, it does seem like there's nothing wrong with it."
"By the way, Piao-ge, Han Chen's warehouse is so well hidden, how did you know where it was?"
Chen Piao chuckled lightly, naturally not telling Shark that he knew the location of Han Chen's warehouse through Liu Jianming.
So he made up a random excuse: "Don't forget what I do. If you don't even have this much ability, Huang Zhicheng would have been under your surveillance for the past two years!"
As he spoke, Chen Piao picked up his chopsticks again and smacked Shark Boy on the head with his backhand.
"Eat your meal. You're still the boss, remember that. I'd never hurt you, no matter who else I'm hurting!"
Actually, Chen Piao had three considerations in mind when he used Han Chen's inventory as bait.
Firstly, he needed this double-cross to completely dissuade Shark from returning to the police force; it was also a so-called pledge of allegiance.
Secondly, he needs Shark Boy to gain more trust from Huang Zhicheng through this revelation.
Now that Wong Chi-shing considers himself a wild horse and doesn't trust him much, he needs Shark Boy's cooperation to pass on more of his "plans" to Wong Chi-shing through intelligence, so that Wong Chi-shing can cooperate with him better.
The third layer of consideration is also the most important!
He needs money now, he needs lots and lots of money!
To his shame, although he had tasted the benefits of exchanging achievement points for goods in the system, he currently did not even have the qualifications to unlock intelligence or the commercial store.
Whether it's making great strides through the system or establishing a foothold in Tsim Sha Tsui, it all comes down to one thing: money!
The claim that Chen Yongren managed to deal with the Ni family's men is just a pretext. The triad is a people-oriented organization, and in essence, it is not much different from running a company or doing business.
You can't convince those gangsters with just empty words of chivalry. If you don't let them have enough to eat, even if Ni Yongxiao comes back to life, no one will necessarily give him face!
……
As dusk falls, the lights of Tsim Sha Tsui begin to illuminate the night.
Huang Zhicheng was unaware that yet another card in his hand was beginning to turn against him.
After dealing with all the mess at the police station, Huang Zhicheng felt he still needed to do something.
Taking advantage of a break after work, Huang Zhicheng drove to the Hoi Fai Building in North Point and dialed a familiar number.
Half an hour later, the undercover agent, dressed in a leather jacket and with messy hair, appeared on the rooftop of the Haihui Building on time.
"Ah Ren, you look much better than before!"
Chen Yongren walked to the rooftop railing and, as usual, leaned over it.
He was in a really good mood today, and he had actually been waiting for Huang Zhicheng's call for a long time.
"Inspector Wong, now that Han Chen is dead, all is well!"
"I remember you said before that once you dealt with Han Chen, you'd restore my file. You're not going to keep me an undercover agent, are you?"
In fact, Chen Yongren believed that Huang Zhicheng had asked him out this time to talk about returning to the team.
It was meant as a joke, but Huang Zhicheng's next response made Chen Yongren's smile freeze instantly.
"That's right, Ah Ren, even though Han Chen is dead, there's a mission you still need to complete!"
Chen Yongren didn't speak, but his gaze towards Huang Zhicheng was filled with anger and confusion.
Huang Zhicheng frowned, and then proceeded to explain on his own.
"Ah Ren, I won't lie to you, I've also planted some brothers in the Wo Shing Wo side."
We need your help to restore order to Tsim Sha Tsui.
You know the Ni family's men are no pushovers. Letting them run rampant in Tsim Sha Tsui will only cause the police a major headache in the future!
"Enough, Officer Wong! We agreed on three years, and then another three years!"
"How many years has it been? My father is dead, my only brother who treated me like family is dead, and now that Han Chen is dead, you want me to continue going undercover!"
As Chen Yongren spoke, he glanced somewhat nervously at the rooftop below.
"Why do you want me to go back to Wo Shing again? Do you never intend to let me become a policeman again in this lifetime?"
Wong Sir? Don't go too far. Do you know what kind of life I've been living all these years?
Every day when I open my eyes, I have to tell myself that I am a bad person and that I should be careful in my actions.
Every night before I go to sleep, I have to keep telling myself that I'm a gangster, for fear that I might say something wrong in my sleep and bring disaster upon myself!
I can't take it anymore! I really can't take it anymore! Maybe I should just jump off this cliff and end it all!
Seeing that Chen Yongren was emotional, Huang Zhicheng quickly stepped forward and tried to say the PUA rhetoric he had prepared.
As for what bitterness Chen Yongren was feeling or what he had just said, he didn't hear a single word.
Having brought so many undercover agents, he'd heard these words so many times he was sick of them!
Unexpectedly, Chen Yongren reacted violently, shoving Huang Zhicheng aside and taking two steps back.
"Don't come any closer! I'm serious, if you don't let me rejoin the team, I really will jump!"
"PC27149!"
Seeing that Chan Wing-yan was on the verge of getting out of control, Wong Chi-shing had no choice but to use his trump card against Chan Wing-yan and call out Chan Wing-yan's warning.
For a moment, Chen Yongren was stunned.
Almost reflexively, he subconsciously responded with "Here!"
"I assure you, this is the last time I will obey orders from my superiors."
"As long as you can get your hands on the underwater register and ledgers of Wo Luen Shing, not only can you rejoin the team, but I will also apply to the higher-ups to transfer you to a core department of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau!"
Seeing that Chen Yongren was intimidated, Huang Zhicheng naturally stepped forward, looked at the seemingly dazed Chen Yongren, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, this mission isn't as stressful as the one at the Ni family."
You're not fighting alone; you have brothers like you by your side, so you won't feel so lonely!
