Chapter 15 Just thinking about what will happen tomorrow makes me want to laugh.
"Brother Chen, it's easier to talk now!"
Liu Jianming's voice came through the receiver, and Han Chen couldn't help but feel nervous.
He'd been keeping Lau Kin-ming under his wing in the police force for quite some time now. Lau Kin-ming usually wouldn't contact him on his own initiative, but if he did, it meant something serious had happened.
"What is it?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's just that the Kowloon Regional Crime Unit and the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau held a purge operation meeting today targeting the Ni family."
"They've planted informants in many of your establishments in Tsim Sha Tsui. Our intelligence unit has compiled a list of informants, which is now being sent to the Major Crimes Unit!"
Hearing that there was no major trouble, Han Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Do you have the list now?"
"That's right, I suggest you stop selling goods at the market for the time being."
But don't be too restrained either. The people in the Major Crimes Unit are all incredibly sharp-witted, so it's okay to let slip a few minor, innocuous details.
Firstly, it'll make it easier for them to report, and secondly, it won't raise suspicions that you've planted a needle in the police force!
Lau Kin-ming always made Han Chen feel cared for, which is why, over the years, no matter what reliable scoops Han Chen had, he always chose to leak them to Lau Kin-ming.
"It's good that you have it. Now hurry up and make a copy of the list for me, find a place to hide it, and I'll have someone retrieve it later!"
"No, Brother Chen, this list is encrypted. I need to send it to the Major Crimes Unit right now."
Liu Jianming paused for a moment: "I'm leaving from the Wan Chai headquarters now, and I expect to deliver the data to the archives in Kowloon by 10:30."
I don't have time to make the copy for you. You'd better bring your camera and take a picture now. I'll drive faster and try to buy you five minutes!
Han Chen remained silent for a moment, but finally agreed readily.
"Okay, park your car in front of the Peninsula Coffee Shop in a bit, I'll be right there!"
"Brother Chen, we had a meeting on Arsenal Street until 9:30 tonight, and we just finished supper. Some people from the Major Crimes Unit are riding back to Tsim Sha Tsui in my car!"
Liu Jianming's logic was exceptionally clear, guiding the old fox Han Chen step by step.
"Wait for me at the Tai Hing Fruit Market in Yau Ma Tei. In twenty minutes, the PTU patrolling here will change shifts at Temple Street, so we'll be less likely to be spotted!"
"hehe!"
Han Chen couldn't help but smile and gripped the phone tightly in his hand.
"Jianming, sometimes I really can't bear to leave you working in the police force."
Alright, enough chit-chat, see you at Daxing Fruit Market!
……
Jordan, where Lin Huai-le's finance company is still brightly lit.
After leaving Liu Jianming's residence, Chen Piao immediately called a car and came here.
Now everything is ready. All that's left is for Han Chen to die, and then the Ni family's fortune in Tsim Sha Tsui will be his.
Inside the office, Dongguanzi was like a leech, sticking to Lin Huai Le these past two days, never leaving his side.
Upon seeing Chen Piao, before Chen Piao could even greet Lin Huai Le, Dongguan Boy's sarcastic remarks came straight at him.
"Chen Piao, just now at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant, you were talking about how great you were, saying you wanted to lead the gang to establish a foothold in Tsim Sha Tsui."
The effects of being drunk should have worn off by now. Being chased away by Han Chen and not daring to go home must have been unpleasant, right?
"That was incredibly frustrating; I had to rely on Brother Dongguan to help me sort this out!"
The thought of Huang Zhicheng's fury upon hearing the news of Han Chen's death tomorrow, while Dongguan Boy tries every means to take the blame for Han Chen's death, makes Chen Piao want to laugh.
But he was too lazy to argue any further, so he simply greeted Lin Huai Le.
It wasn't until Lin Huaiyue invited him to sit down that Chen Piao revealed the purpose of his visit.
"Brother Le, I've already arranged to meet Han Chen. The meeting place is in twenty minutes at the Tai Hing Fruit Market in Yau Ma Tei."
"Could you please ask Brother Le and Fire Bull to let us use the fruit market's warehouse? We'll settle things with Han Chen there tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Huai Le, who was sitting in a chair posing as if he were a dragon head, immediately jumped up.
"So fast?"
"Of course we need to be quick. While the Ni family is still unsettled, the sooner we get Han Chen on board, the smoother Wo Luen Shing's entry will be."
"Brother Lok, to show my sincerity, I'll personally kill Han Chen tonight and completely solidify Wo Luen Shing's reputation in Tsim Sha Tsui!"
The Dongguan guy, who had originally planned to make a few sarcastic remarks to Chen Piao, couldn't help but look at Chen Piao with newfound respect upon hearing this.
No wonder Lam Wai-lok kept saying that getting on Chen Piao's side would help the triad avoid some pitfalls in Tsim Sha Tsui; it seems this guy really does have some skills.
"Okay, okay!"
Lin Huai Le said "good" three times in a row, and then calmed down his excited mood.
He glanced at Dongguan boy, then looked at Chen Piao, adopting a friendly expression.
"Knife Boy, I see your sincerity, but it's best if you don't personally take care of killing Han Chen!"
"Why, Brother Le? If we don't take down Han Chen, I won't make a sound."
Even if Brother Lok treats me like family, the brothers in the Wo Shing Wo organization are bound to be dissatisfied with me!
Chen Piao pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth, which made Lin Huaile feel that he was even easier to control.
"You can't say that. With my word, who would dare to disobey you?"
But you've forgotten what we talked about tonight: take down Han Chen, and then you'll have to step in and subdue the Ni family's gang.
Many of them had dealings with Han Chen. If they found out you were the one who killed Han Chen, you'd be in real trouble in Tsim Sha Tsui!
Dongguan boy understood and immediately stepped forward.
"That's right, brother, let me be the villain."
"I'll take care of Han Chen, and then you can take over the Ni family's territory under the Wo Luen Shing name. It's better for everyone!"
Having had enough of Huang Zhicheng's manipulative tactics, Chen Piao felt nauseous just hearing the two of them singing in unison in front of him.
The old-fashioned triad Wo Luen Shing values nothing but bullshit rules. Once they take over Tsim Sha Tsui, whoever takes down Han Chen is the one who gets the most credit.
Now, Lam Wai-lok intends to promote Dongguan Boy to the top, and he even pretends to be a good person, saying that he is doing it for his own good. Does he really think he is a three-year-old?
But Chen Piao, who had already made all the plans, still had to keep up the act.
He put on a grateful expression: "I had considered many things before choosing to bet on Lian Sheng."
Later, one of my younger brothers told me that Brother Lok in Jordan was the fairest and most loyal person, and that working for him would guarantee success.
Looking back today, I was right! Brother Lok, I really regret not going straight to your door to pay my respects after leaving the housing estate!
These cheesy words gave even the Dongguan guy goosebumps.
Looking at Lin Huai Le's pleased expression, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that this kid was an outsider.
If he had actually joined the Wo Luen Shing triad from the beginning, I'm afraid that today, it wouldn't have been Lin Wai-lok's turn to help him get ahead.
