Chapter 227 Chief Lin Is a Fox
Leaving the Headquarters building, Chief Lin spat fiercely when no one was looking.
"You're just wearing an Anglo-Saxon skin. Otherwise, with your high school-level education, could you have climbed above me?"
"Someone like you isn't even fit to be a Superintendent under me!"
Chief Lin was furious. Extremely, extremely furious.
Disturbing someone's sleep is the most immoral thing.
Since it wasn't convenient to sleep at this time, Chief Lin simply drove back to the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters.
Uncle Biao had been waiting for him since early morning.
The two were old partners. Uncle Biao's age was similar to Chief Lin's, and he looked more mature than Chief Lin, but his academic qualifications couldn't compare to Chief Lin's.
Thus, Chief Lin was already in charge of a region, while Uncle Biao was merely a Chief Inspector.
Chief Lin asked:
"What exactly happened with the two cases tonight?"
Uncle Biao's expression was grave:
"Hard to say!"
Chief Lin paused in his steps, gritting his teeth:
"Let's talk in my office."
Entering the office, Uncle Biao skillfully took out tea and started brewing it.
Chief Lin no longer bothered with formalities at this point, sitting down casually and saying:
"What's going on?"
Uncle Biao was also very relaxed, brewing Gongfu tea as he spoke:
"The Hengda Finance case is very simple."
"The person who called you, we've confirmed, is Li Mark, a thug from Hengda Finance."
Chief Lin was startled:
"Internal strife?"
Uncle Biao nodded then shook his head:
"It doesn't seem like ordinary internal strife."
"It seems more like it was specifically targeting Manager Yao."
"The time of the crime was likely specially chosen by Li Mark... Li Ying led a team to inspect, and at the time, only Manager Yao and three security personnel were present; the other staff were all absent."
"In fact, all four of them died."
"Nothing was missing from Manager Yao's body, only his life was lost."
"Li Mark went there intending to kill Manager Yao."
Chief Lin said gravely:
"Li Mark told me that Hengda Finance is a counterfeit money syndicate, but he also specifically reminded me that Manager Yao is not the real mastermind behind it."
Uncle Biao nodded slightly:
"That makes sense. Counterfeiting money requires very high technical skills, much higher than making drugs."
"Without relevant knowledge, it cannot be done."
"Especially since they are counterfeiting US dollars."
"Li Ying called me to say that forensic experts have confirmed they used the most advanced computer-modified plates — they were modified based on genuine banknote plates."
Chief Lin frowned:
"Why not use genuine banknote plates?"
Uncle Biao explained:
"Both counterfeit and genuine banknote plates have limitations on their usage."
"They will inevitably be scrapped after a period of use."
"The numbers on counterfeit money are engraved, but genuine money is different; they use floating codes."
"In any case, after a period of use, the plates become blurry and must be discarded."
"It's unclear where Manager Yao and his group obtained the defunct genuine plates, and then restored and modified them through a series of technical means."
"Then new plates are generated."
"Hengda Finance even has counterfeit money that was just produced today."
"Li Ying said it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing."
Chief Lin's brows furrowed deeply, and he tapped the table lightly:
"This case is indeed tricky. However, tell Li Ying that the case can be investigated slowly."
"Instead, Grand Duke Andrei's matter must be clarified as soon as possible."
Uncle Biao pushed the teacup in front of Chief Lin, puzzled:
"How could Grand Duke Andrei be attacked?"
"This doesn't make sense!"
"Grand Duke Andrei came to Hong Kong publicly; didn't he bring private bodyguards?"
"Alright, even if he didn't bring private bodyguards, didn't the Political Department assign him a VIP protection team?"
"Is the Governor so careless?"
"Or did George receive orders from the motherland?"
"Chief, the water in this is deep; we need to get out of it."
Uncle Biao was an old fox. In fact, almost no one who could reach such a high position was innocent.
People like Yuen Ho-Wan and Chan Ka-Kui would still need to struggle and train to reach his position.
Chief Lin smiled bitterly:
"I wanted to decline, but Police Commissioner wouldn't allow it!"
"You don't know what I encountered at Headquarters. As soon as we met, Police Commissioner said nothing but tried to pin blame on me."
"It was truly ridiculous."
"I immediately pushed back, and Police Commissioner admitted his mistake before we continued talking."
"The incident happened in our jurisdiction, so we can't shirk responsibility."
"Police Commissioner wants to curry favor with Andrei, so he's giving us significant benefits."
Uncle Biao was unimpressed:
"Chief, you're confused!"
"The only way to avoid trouble in the future is to completely distance ourselves from this matter now."
"What benefits can Police Commissioner give us?"
"Isn't that nonsense?"
Chief Lin slowly drank a cup of tea before saying:
"Actually, he didn't give us any benefits, it's just that tomorrow we can receive a large sum of money. All the funds that Headquarters had withheld from us will be approved tomorrow."
Uncle Biao's expression froze, and he immediately said:
"The case of Grand Duke Andrei's attack is of great importance. We must investigate it thoroughly. This is something we must prioritize."
Chief Lin and Uncle Biao exchanged glances, both smiling bitterly.
Police Commissioner had truly hit their weak spot.
The Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters was really, really short on money right now.
Don't think that being in the wealthiest police district meant they weren't short on money; they were, just the same.
Petty thieves didn't dare to commit crimes in their jurisdiction.
All those who dared to commit crimes were big-time criminals!
Like Cheuk Tze-keung.
Like the Doctor.
Once they committed a crime, it was earth-shshattering.
However, the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters had been restless recently. Just the condolence payments for the Grand Hyatt Hotel alone required a large sum of money, and even with donations from all sectors of society, there was barely anything left.
Besides that, while petty theft was less common, it didn't mean it was non-existent.
Chan Ka-Kui in their jurisdiction was a vehicle destruction king, and he had arrested many petty thieves during this period.
Hmm, the compensation to passersby was even more.
What's more, those whose vehicles were damaged later sent banners of appreciation — after all, they could get new cars for free.
Chief Lin and Uncle Biao were truly at their wits' end.
With such a large sum of money thrown down by Police Commissioner, even if the two of them were unwilling, given the current situation, how could they still refuse?
Uncle Biao immediately entered work mode:
"Chief, there's something fishy about Grand Duke Andrei's matter."
Chief Lin drank two cups of tea, but still couldn't suppress his anger:
"I know!"
"Grand Duke Andrei's private bodyguards weren't there, and the major crime squad members weren't there either."
"As an outsider, how could he dismiss everyone else and dare to go to such a place?"
"And how did he know about such a place?"
"I always feel there's something going on here."
Uncle Biao proposed an idea:
"Chief, does that briefcase Grand Duke Andrei mentioned really exist?"
Chief Lin was startled:
"What do you mean?"
Uncle Biao frowned deeply:
"Hundreds of thousands of pounds is indeed a large sum of money in the eyes of ordinary people, converting to several million hong kong dollars."
"But let's think..."
"Given Grand Duke Andrei's status, for a mere few million hong kong dollars, would he lose so much face? Is it worth it?"
"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he just swallow the loss of those few million hong kong dollars, even if it meant breaking his teeth?"
"Why would he make such a big fuss and call the police?"
"Don't say the Anglo-Saxons don't care about face; read their newspapers, they are masters at putting on a brave face."
Chief Lin pondered for a long while, then asked:
"What's your theory?"
Uncle Biao said in a deep voice:
"I think that briefcase is suspicious."
"Either that briefcase doesn't exist, or it couldn't possibly contain merely hundreds of thousands of pounds in bearer bonds."
"One of these must be correct."
Chief Lin made a dismissive gesture with his hand:
"Continue."
Uncle Biao shrugged:
"Anyway, no matter which it is, it indicates that Grand Duke Andrei had a prior arrangement with someone, and there must be something illicit behind it."
"If we knew about it, it might not be beneficial."
"But now, it seems we have no way to refuse."
Chief Lin sighed. Wasn't it true?
They needed a large sum of money to alleviate the financial strain on the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters.
The Police Force was not like the ICAC; if the ICAC's budget wasn't approved, they could stop working at any time.
The Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters couldn't do that. Even without money, they still had to go to work.
"You were right just now, Grand Duke Andrei's matter might be a trap."
"But we have no choice but to accept this case."
Chief Lin slowly picked up his teacup,
"However, it's not like there's no way out."
Uncle Biao's spirits lifted.
"What's the plan?"
Chief Lin said calmly,
"Drag it out!"
Uncle Biao was stunned.
"Drag it out?"
Chief Lin chuckled coldly,
"The case will be handled... but we'll just follow the normal procedures."
"Everyone knows how slow cases progress on Hong Kong Island."
"If Grand Duke Andrei has the patience, he can wait here as long as he likes."
Uncle Biao's eyes lit up.
"He's on a business trip to Hong Kong Island for his merits; he can't wait on Hong Kong Island for too long."
Chief Lin shrugged.
"Exactly! As long as that time passes, won't the case be ours to investigate slowly?"
"Even if it becomes a cold case, so what? He's just a Foreigner."
Uncle Biao didn't have as much confidence as Chief Lin. While he dared to resist a Foreigner, he didn't feel as certain as Chief Lin.
"You don't need to worry. The pressure Police Commissioner is putting on us might seem immense right now."
"But honestly... there's really nothing to worry about."
Uncle Biao was confused.
"Will the pressure from Police Commissioner on us really lessen?"
Chief Lin sighed.
"Ah, you... broaden your perspective a little."
"Think about it, this person is an important member of the Anglo-Saxon royal family, and a Duke. Is Police Commissioner the only one who wants to curry favor with him?"
Uncle Biao naturally said,
"Other Foreigners will naturally curry favor with him."
His eyes suddenly brightened.
"Oh, right!"
"Other Foreigners will definitely curry favor with him."
Chief Lin scoffed,
"Police Commissioner botched this. He's not qualified to curry favor with Grand Duke Andrei."
"Below the Governor, which Foreigner officer from the Three Divisions and Thirteen Bureaus doesn't want to curry favor with Andrei?"
"Who does he think he is?"
"Just watch, it's very possible that the authority to handle this case won't even be with us anymore."
Uncle Biao paused.
Chief Lin counted on his fingers,
"The Governor, the Secretary for Justice, the Security Bureau, the Political Department of the Police Force... which of these Foreigners would he dare provoke?"
"Actually, after Grand Duke Andrei's incident, he shouldn't be thinking about currying favor, but rather about figuring out what his own superiors are thinking."
"Police Commissioner should call the Security Bureau Chief to confirm."
"Now, without instructions from above, he's already made this decision himself."
"If we're incredibly lucky and are the first to uncover the truth, allowing Police Commissioner to receive Grand Duke Andrei's commendation."
"Then do you believe that after Andrei leaves, Police Commissioner will immediately be targeted for rectification?"
Uncle Biao clapped his hands.
"Eating alone is not acceptable."
"If you don't have the strength but insist on eating alone, who else would they rectify?"
Uncle Biao immediately relaxed, and quickly poured Chief Lin another cup of tea.
"Chief, you're amazing!"
Chief Lin smiled, drank all his tea, and slowly said,
"It's not that I'm amazing; our ancestors' books are full of such stories."
"Ah Biao, don't rush. Tell Li Ying to make a big show of it, but secretly tell them the truth."
"We still have to put on a show."
Uncle Biao laughed heartily.
"Chief, I understand."
Chief Lin got up to usher him out.
"You go wait for Li Ying and the others. I need to make do with spending the night in the office."
Uncle Biao helped put away the tea set.
"Chief, you just rest!"
Chief Lin mumbled,
"Disturbing someone's sleep is truly a grave sin."
Uncle Biao helped Chief Lin close the door, and completely relaxed.
Meanwhile, Li Mark arrived at Lei Yue Mun in Wan Chai, where someone was already waiting on the shore.
"Captain, the boat I booked."
The captain looked at him by the lamplight.
"Little Ma?"
Li Mark pulled out a Camel cigarette and offered one.
"It's me. Thank you, Captain."
The captain quickly took it, lit Li Mark's first, then lit his own.
"Don't mention it, we all work for Grandfather."
"My boss instructed me to make sure I take you to Taiwan."
"You must arrive in Taiwan by this time tomorrow."
Li Mark was surprised.
"That long?"
The captain said helplessly,
"That's the distance."
Li Mark shrugged.
"Then let's go!"
The captain then set sail.
After boarding, Li Mark was bored, so he initiated a conversation with the captain.
"Captain, do you often run this route?"
The captain reassured him.
"I run it often. We in Kwai Tsing are in the smuggling business, so we're familiar with all the surrounding routes. The weather's good these two days, so you don't have to worry about disasters on the water."
"If we really encounter bad weather, we wouldn't travel."
"Besides, your status is unusual. Brother Benny specifically asked me to take you."
Li Mark was immediately surprised.
"Captain, are your skills very good?"
The captain was very proud.
"Naturally."
"I've been running this Taiwan route for twenty years; I know everything on this route with my eyes closed."
"Little Ma, you don't know, my boss paid me three times the price to get me to come out."
Li Mark looked at him with respect.
To be in a Triad, you must have a special skill.
With a special skill, you'll have a place anywhere.
This is a very simple matter.
Running a boat is not simple, and a smuggling boat even more so.
You need to understand hydrology, weather, and how to read a sextant by the stars to avoid getting lost.
Because you're operating in coastal waters, you also need to understand various local dialects, so you don't miss any sudden warnings.
This captain, being respected by Hon Ban, definitely had a few tricks up his sleeve.
Little Ma then returned home and slept peacefully.
However, some people couldn't sleep. Lin Feng was practicing, and Li Fu walked over with a phone.
"Brother Feng, Brother Kei's call."
Lin Feng wiped his sweat and wondered,
"I just saw Brother Kei this afternoon, why is he calling now?"
He picked up the phone, and as soon as Brother Kei spoke, Lin Feng was confused.
"Ah Feng, save me!"
Lin Feng said in a deep voice,
"Brother Kei, speak slowly... what exactly happened?"
"Who's attacking you? Who are they? How many of them are there? Where are you?"
Brother Kei was also bewildered.
"No one's attacking me..."
Lin Feng wondered,
"No one's attacking you, but you're yelling for help?"
"Brother Kei, don't joke like that!"
Brother Kei said with a bitter smile,
"I don't have to be attacked to yell for help, do I?"
"Ah Feng, you really have to save me!"
Lin Feng relaxed.
"Brother Kei, what happened exactly?"
Brother Kei's voice was filled with tension.
"My establishments were suddenly raided by the police tonight!"
Lin Feng's expression was exceptionally serious.
"What did you say?"
Brother Kei said with a bitter smile,
"All my establishments were raided by the police. It's truly bizarre; police are checking IDs at all the venues, causing widespread panic."
"Especially the arcades, there are so many police officers it's uncountable."
Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he suddenly asked,
"Is it just your establishments that were raided, or all the Triad establishments around you?"
Brother Kei said irritably,
"How can I have the mind to care about that?"
Being an old hand, Brother Kei quickly understood.
"You mean, this isn't a police operation targeting me; I'm just caught in the crossfire?"
Lin Feng shrugged.
"Brother Kei, you run traditional Triad businesses. I truly don't understand why the police would raid your establishments."
"In my opinion, if your establishments are raided, then no Triad establishment on all of Hong Kong Island could escape."
"You should still send someone to check. See if there are police at the Triad establishments around you."
Brother Kei's spirits lifted, and his tone became much more cheerful.
"Ah Feng, it still has to be you. I'll send someone right away. Wait a moment, I'll send someone to check."
Lin Feng smiled.
"Alright, I won't rest before three o'clock, so just call."
He hung up the phone and didn't hand it to Li Fu, lost in thought for a moment.
Li Fu wondered,
"Brother Kei's establishments were raided by the police? That shouldn't be."
Lin Feng chuckled.
"Do you still remember where you did those things before?"
Li Fu suddenly realized.
"Andrei's incident happened?"
"But it's been so long, he's only reporting it now?"
Lin Feng shrugged.
"Is it possible that place was really too damn remote?"
Li Fu laughed.
"That guy must have been fed to mosquitoes all night?"

Chapter 228: Clairvoyance and Clairaudience
[Ding, daily intelligence refresh.]
[Crime (White): Tycoon is preparing to bribe Duke Andrei a second time, but Duke Andrei is too conspicuous, which is giving Tycoon a headache.]
[Politics (White): George has shown great interest in Duke Andrei's attack case.]
[Economy (Purple): The Anglo-Saxons in Amsterdam are ready to take action.]
Two white, one purple... Lin Feng instantly recalled that none of his wives were home today, not even Tin Yeng-San.
Tin Yeng-San is currently being cultivated by Ho Man in all aspects, with strict requirements for his posture, movement, and even a clear schedule for playtime.
According to Ho Man:
"Ah Sang's previous routine was very irregular. From now on, he needs to develop good habits. It takes twenty-one days to form a routine, and during this time, he has to stay with me."
Lin Feng wanted to argue, but Ho Man rejected him with a single sentence:
"Husband, you don't want Ah Sang's routine to be like yours, do you?"
Lin Feng was helpless.
No choice, who told him he followed Liang Kun back then?
Otherwise, he wouldn't be unable to get out of bed before noon.
A good routine is truly extremely important.
So, with no women or children around... his drawing of two white and one purple was considered a minor stroke of luck.
However, seeing these three pieces of intelligence, Lin Feng sneered.
Tycoon is really rich, if one bribe doesn't work, he'll keep bribing.
He won't stop until the money is in Duke Andrei's hands.
What kind of bribery spirit is this?
Yet, when Fong Chun-San was in trouble, this guy didn't even utter a sound.
Lin Feng was never a magnanimous person; his heart was barely bigger than a pinhole. He firmly kept this matter in mind.
"I wonder how Tao Tao's arrangements are coming along?"
"I'll have to ask later."
"Anyway, Tycoon has plenty of money!"
The intelligence system still categorized and organized messages, ready for Lin Feng's use.
A moment later, Brother Kei's phone rang:
"Ah Feng, just as you predicted, the Police Force isn't just raiding my place, but everyone's."
Brother Kei's voice became cheerful,
"I was worried for nothing."
If the Police Force only raided one Triad's establishments, it would clearly be targeted.
But if they raided all Triads' establishments, that would be treating everyone equally.
So, is it possible that the Police Force raided everyone's establishments?
Basically impossible!
That would cause a strong backlash.
If they truly had that kind of capability, why would they let the Triads grow so large?
Therefore, it should be a routine activity.
"It seems I can finally get a good night's sleep."
Lin Feng was speechless:
"Brother Kei, your places have been raided, and you can still sleep?"
Brother Kei laughed:
"If it's not targeting me, then it's easy to handle."
"Tomorrow is Ah Kun's Dragon Head banquet, I need to rest well. Tomorrow will definitely be lively."
"We can't let Ah Kun down, right?"
Lin Feng was dumbfounded:
"Brother Kei, if I were you, I absolutely wouldn't sleep."
Brother Kei immediately became nervous:
"Ah Feng, don't scare me!"
Brother Kei knew the capabilities of the Mong Kok brothers too well. Earning a lot of money with them was one aspect, and another was Lin Feng's keen intuition.
He didn't know how many disasters he had helped him avoid in the past three years.
Lin Feng reminded him:
"It's midnight now!"
"When have you ever seen the Police Force suddenly conducting checks at midnight?"
"Hurry back and ask your own people if they've done anything outrageous... If not, then it's not too late to sleep."
Brother Kei was an old hand and instantly understood Lin Feng's meaning, exclaiming,
"You mean the Police Force is investigating a certain case?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"Is the Police Force so bored that they're out sweeping the streets at this hour?"
Brother Kei quickly said:
"Ah Feng, I'll listen to you!"
He hastily hung up the phone and rushed to gather his men to understand the situation.
Lin Feng shook his head, this Brother Kei... After a moment's thought, he pulled out his phone and called Liang Kun:
"Boss, are you asleep?"
Liang Kun was invigorated:
"Ah Feng, I'm at Siu Gai's place."
"Do you want to come over?"
Lin Feng, with his sharp ears, even heard the sounds of women, and couldn't help but complain:
"Boss, I've told you, lust is a huge flaw."
"You two are really like a turtle seeing a green bean, perfectly matched."
Liang Kun angrily said:
"You scoundrel, if lust is a flaw, how could you marry so many women at once?"
Lin Feng sighed:
"That's why I'm saying it's a flaw!"
"Tell the women to go away."
Liang Kun loudly said:
"Ah Jie, Ah Nan, Siu Gai stay, everyone else out!"
Soon, the other side became quiet.
Only then did Lin Feng say:
"Boss, Brother Kei just called me..."
He explained the whole situation,
"I think things are unusual, so I specifically informed you."
Liang Kun frowned deeply:
"Ah Feng, you mean the Police Force might be targeting our Hung Hing?"
Lin Feng shook his head:
"It's not targeting our Hung Hing."
"I have news... Duke Andrei was attacked in Aberdeen, and he reportedly lost a briefcase. Inside that briefcase were millions of pounds worth of bearer Anglo-Saxon bonds."
"In other words, whoever gets this briefcase can easily exchange it for that much money."
Liang Kun asked in surprise:
"Is that Foreigner crazy?"
"Taking so much money to such a remote place?"
Aberdeen is not the city center... Although it's close to the city and well-developed, in the eyes of real Hong Kong people, it's a rural place.
Andrei would be crazy to go to that place.
"...No!"
A flash of insight struck Liang Kun:
"This lost bag isn't Andrei's, is it? Did someone give it to... bribe the Foreigner?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was the truth.
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Boss is indeed Boss, so perceptive."
"That's right, these things were Tycoon's bribe to Andrei."
Liang Kun was startled, almost dropping his phone:
"Ah Feng, how do you know?"
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"I'm a local ghost!"
"There's little news I don't know about Hong Kong..."
Liang Kun frowned:
"Is this matter very troublesome?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said:
"It's troublesome and not troublesome at the same time."
"It all depends on what the Police Force does."
"If the Police Force takes it seriously, it's estimated that the Triads in Aberdeen and even throughout Hong Kong will all be questioned to see who took that briefcase."
"If the Police Force is perfunctory, they probably won't even ask about such things, but they'll have to put on a show."
Liang Kun quickly asked:
"What about us? Will we be affected?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"Did we take this thing?"
Liang Kun said bluntly:
"I didn't take it!"
Lin Feng laughed:
"If we didn't take it, let them investigate however they want."
Liang Kun was immediately relieved:
"Then I'll call the various hall masters and tell them to self-inspect."
Lin Feng reminded him:
"The Foreigner won't tell the Police Force the real truth. At most, they'll reduce the amount of money in the briefcase to one-tenth."
"And, others don't know that this thing was a bribe from Tycoon... Boss, don't let it slip."
Liang Kun quietly asked:
"Did you take this thing?"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes:
"I know so much, what do you think?"
Liang Kun laughed and cursed:
"You scoundrel..."
Their relationship was extraordinary; almost anything Liang Kun asked, Lin Feng would answer.
He was very open.
Of course, things like transmigration and cheats couldn't be spoken of.
Liang Kun would not only disbelieve him but would also worry that his younger brother had a problem with his mind, and might even find a psychiatrist to treat him, which would be troublesome.
Liang Kun asked directly:
"So, the Police Force didn't even mention that Andrei lost a briefcase?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Probably."
Liang Kun asked again:
"Are there any loose ends?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"Naturally, there are no problems."
Liang Kun asked in confusion:
"Ah Feng, your life is going so well, why do you want to provoke these guys?"
Lin Feng was angry:
"Debts must be paid, and murder must be repaid with life. Tycoon owes Old Eight, and I am her man, so naturally I have to get it back. Is there a problem?"
Liang Kun shrugged:
"Of course there's no problem."
"Look, look, I just asked casually, why are you getting so agitated?"
Lin Feng said irritably:
"Hanging up!"
Liang Kun put away his phone and instructed everyone:
"Siu Gai, tell the other hall masters, excluding Causeway Bay, and also inform Big D, to see if their pickpockets have been scavenging in Aberdeen these past two days, and if they encountered a Foreigner."
Chicken immediately made calls to inform them.
Liang Kun calmly lit a cigar.
It was no big deal that Lin Feng sent his subordinates to attack the Foreigner; Foreigners, after all, were annoying to look at.
It was also no big deal that Lin Feng sent his subordinates to rob the bribe the Tycoon gave the Foreigner.
Liang Kun was already mentally prepared.
His younger brother hadn't hidden anything from him; if he said he wanted revenge on the Tycoon, then he was definitely going to get revenge.
Liang Kun didn't care.
Just as he had told Lin Feng, when it came to making money, it was fine for Lin Feng to include him, as he was less educated and sometimes couldn't distinguish between investments, so missing out was just missing out.
However, if Lin Feng sought revenge on the Tycoon and didn't include him, Liang Kun would definitely be angry.
They were brothers for life; if he wasn't called upon when it was time to risk their lives, what kind of brothers were they?
Speaking of which, Liang Kun was also a lawless man.
That damned Tycoon, who actually chickened out when faced with Cheuk Tze-keung's extortion, Liang Kun dared to look down on him!
Such a person would absolutely not dare to risk his life!
Willing to suffer a thousand cuts, daring to pull the emperor off his horse—Liang Kun truly dared to risk his life.
Liang Kun's calm confidence stemmed from his understanding of Lin Feng's methods; as long as his younger brother made a move, whether it was the Foreigner or the Tycoon, trying to find Lin Feng's weakness was wishful thinking!
Chicken returned:
"Boss, I've already notified everyone, using Brother Kei's feedback and Brother Feng's suggestion as reasons."
Liang Kun tossed him a cigar.
"Kid, well done!"
"That's what we'll say to outsiders."
Mo Chiu-Nam cursed:
"Boss, what kind of Foreigner is so amazing?"
"Just give me 200,000, and I'll take care of him for you."
Slap!
Liang Kun flicked his forehead:
"Don't talk big. That's an important member of the Anglo-Saxon royal family, the Anglo-Saxon Duke."
"He's protected by G4 everywhere he goes, and besides that, he has his personal bodyguards, all carrying firearms."
"What are you going to fight them with by yourself?"
Mo Chiu-Nam remained silent, looking embarrassed.
Liang Kun chuckled:
"Besides, even though that Foreigner is annoying, he's not our enemy. Our self-investigation is to show the Police Force."
"We're completely innocent, so what do we have to fear from the Police Force?"
Mo Chiu-Nam opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
This was the good thing about Ah Wu; his professional ethics were very high.
Lin Feng hired Mo Chiu-Nam as a lifelong bodyguard for Liang Kun at a price of 20 million, and Mo Chiu-Nam became completely devoted to Liang Kun.
Even if he heard something confidential, he pretended not to hear it.
Soon, Chicken's phone rang.
"Boss, we didn't send any pickpockets to Aberdeen to forage... That place is Brother Kei's territory, and anyone who wants to go there needs to give a heads-up."
Triads, like the Police Force, guard their territories very carefully.
If it's their territory, only their own people can operate there; not only are people from other Triads forbidden from crossing the line, but even their own people can't casually cross it.
Liang Kun yawned:
"It's good as long as our people are fine."
"Everyone go home; we'll be busy tomorrow!"
No one had any objections.
If they hadn't been too excited to sleep tonight, they would have gone home already.
Tomorrow was Liang Kun's big day, and they would be busy starting at noon.
Just as Liang Kun was about to leave, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Wong Bing-Yiu.
"Chief Huang, why would he call me?"
Liang Kun was very curious, wanting to look up and see if the moon had risen from the west.
"Mr. Li, I'd like to ask you something."
Wong Bing-Yiu was very polite to Liang Kun, and he had no choice but to be polite; after all, Liang Kun had a top confidant named Lin Feng.
Liang Kun smiled:
"Chief Huang, just give me your orders if you have anything."
Wong Bing-Yiu deliberated:
"Mr. Li, did any of your pickpockets... go to Aberdeen to forage? Did anyone attack a Foreigner?"
Liang Kun burst out laughing:
"I knew you Police Force would ask. Coincidentally, I just asked, and no pickpockets went there... You know, the hall master of Aberdeen is Baji, and we, Hung Hing, are very harmonious. We usually don't cause trouble on our brother Triad's turf."
Wong Bing-Yiu was stunned:
"You conducted a self-investigation?"
Liang Kun nodded:
"Yes, we did a self-investigation!"
Wong Bing-Yiu said incredulously:
"Why would you conduct a self-investigation?"
Liang Kun complained:
"You'll have to ask yourselves. Chief Lin of the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters went crazy and swept through all of Brother Kei's territory."
"It scared Brother Kei quite a bit."
"Brother Kei called Ah Feng, wanting to ask about the situation."
"Ah Feng then told Brother Kei to confirm whether they were sweeping his establishments or everyone's establishments..."
"And I don't know which informant Ah Feng asked, but he said you were looking for a handbag?"
"We, Hung Hing, don't want to get involved in such matters, so of course we had to conduct a self-investigation."
"If it was done by our Triad, we would naturally return the bag... Isn't that normal?"
"Fortunately, this wasn't done by us."
Wong Bing-Yiu was silent for a long time, then said faintly:
"Mr. Li... Can you tell me where Mr. Lin's intelligence comes from?"
Liang Kun sneered:
"Chief Huang, you're crossing the line."
"This is someone else's livelihood; you want to take it away with just a word?"
"You can't play like that!"
Wong Bing-Yiu smiled bitterly and shook his head; he was truly consumed by curiosity.
Liang Kun said bluntly:
"If I knew where Ah Feng's intelligence came from, perhaps I would tell you. The problem is, I don't know where Ah Feng's intelligence comes from either."
"I really want to know too."
Wong Bing-Yiu was greatly surprised:
"You don't even know, despite your relationship?"
Liang Kun complained:
"Ah Feng told me it was told to him by clairvoyants and clairaudients. Do you think I believe him?"
Wong Bing-Yiu pondered:
"I heard that Master Jin of Sun Luen Shing once told Mr. Lin's fortune, saying he was Ziwei Emperor reincarnated. Could it really be true that he has clairvoyance and clairaudience..."
Liang Kun cursed loudly:
"Crazy!"
He hung up the phone.
Crazy!
Believing such things.
Liang Kun didn't care what supernatural abilities his younger brother had; no matter how supernatural, he had raised him since childhood, and he was close to him, and that was enough!
"Let's go, let's go, hurry home and rest!"
Everyone nodded in unison, and so they dispersed.
Wong Bing-Yiu reluctantly hung up the phone, looked up, and saw Chan Yan-kin looking at him with an unusually strange gaze.
"Liang Kun called me crazy. Do you also think I'm abnormal?"
Chan Yan-kin held back and said:
"Isn't 'clairvoyance and clairaudience' a bit much?"
Wong Bing-Yiu said sullenly:
"Do you think it's possible?"
Chan Yan-kin's mouth dropped open:
"Chief... That's impossible."
Wong Bing-Yiu snorted coldly:
"Impossible?"
"Then how did our Police Force's top-secret information leak?"
"Before Mr. Lin said it, some of that information, even I didn't know!"
"Yet he knew it."
"Let's not talk about other examples; let's just talk about tonight's."
"Chief Lin didn't let it slip that we were looking for a handbag... Yet Lin Feng knew?"
"Is this not confidential?"
"Liang Kun said it so easily... What kind of informant could be so deeply rooted in the Regional Headquarters?"
Chan Yan-kin thought seriously:
"It's not impossible!"
This time, Wong Bing-Yiu's mouth dropped open:
"Do you know what you're saying?"
Chan Yan-kin smiled bitterly:
"Chief, think about it, couldn't it be possible?"
"Our Police Force went through the eras of Lui Lok and Lung Shing-pang, and many people's mindsets still linger; corrupt police officers still pop up from time to time."
"Some corrupt police officers, wanting to earn a little more money, selling internal Police Force information to informants, isn't that a normal thing?"
Wong Bing-Yiu suddenly fell silent.
After thinking for a moment, he still shook his head:
"Not very likely."
"If that were the case, how would Kong Long's matter be explained? How would Luo Ji's matter be explained?"
Chan Yan-kin casually said:
"Since it's an intelligence network, it's certainly not just one or two people; perhaps it's dozens or hundreds of people..."
He himself felt what he was saying was outlandish, and quickly added,
"Chief, why are we thinking about this? Mr. Lin is friendly to us. As long as we can get Mr. Lin's intelligence support, isn't that enough?"
Wong Bing-Yiu sighed:
"If we had Mr. Lin's intelligence capabilities, why would we care about Johnny Wang!"
Suddenly, his eyes lit up!
