【022】Camel: 3 vs 3, the advantage is mine
Sha Tin, Township Office.
Fallen flowers fill the sky, obscuring the moonlight.
Borrow a cup to recommend to the Phoenix Terrace
Princess Changping offers incense with tears in her eyes.
I would gladly give my life to repay my parents…
On stage, a group of Cantonese opera actors are singing the classic Cantonese opera "The Princess Changping".
Below the stage sat a group of indigenous people from Sha Tin, with the Tung Sing Dragon Head Camel prominently seated in the middle of the first row.
This whole thing was orchestrated by Camel, with the aim of building momentum for his son's candidacy for township councilor.
After decades of navigating the complexities of the underworld, Camel has come to a profound understanding: the foundation of a family lies solely in the word "power."
Therefore, he did not let his son inherit the position of leader of Tung Sing, but instead focused all his efforts on helping him enter the political arena, with only one goal: to become a councilor in the Heung Yee Kuk of the New Territories.
Although Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories all belong to Hong Kong Island, in reality, the New Territories have a completely different order from Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.
The Americans can issue orders directly on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, but in the New Territories, they have to cooperate with the New Territories Heung Yee Kuk to govern this land.
Within the Heung Yee Kuk of the New Territories, the 27 councilors representing the 27 district rural committees are the de facto rulers of the New Territories. Each councilor represents a family and power that is renowned throughout the New Territories.
As for the Speaker of the Heung Yee Kuk in the New Territories, he is a very important figure in the entire Hong Kong Island.
For example, the 16th Speaker of the Legislative Council, Cheung Yan-lung, comes from the Cheung family of Sheung Shui, which is one of the most famous families in the New Territories. Even among all the Chinese families on Hong Kong Island, they are only one level below the four major families of Ho, Lo, Kwok, and Lee.
If Camel can get his son elected as a councilor in the New Territories Rural Council, with that power, plus the wealth he's accumulated over the years, the Camel family will immediately rise to prominence and become a prominent name in the New Territories.
At this moment, no one knows that in order to achieve this goal, Camel has met privately with the people of the Eagle Kingdom several times and discussed many things.
"Old Ding."
Just as the actors on stage were about to reach the climax of the play, a middle-aged man walked up to the camel, bent down, and whispered, "Wu Zhiwei is dead."
Upon hearing this, the camel's expression changed slightly. After apologizing to the two old men beside him, he quickly left with his trusted confidants.
A few minutes later, in a room.
"What happened?"
As soon as the camel entered, it immediately asked a question.
"In the afternoon, Wu Zhiwei went to Jordan to collect debts and was killed at the entrance of the Want Want Spa. The killer used a Mitsubishi military knife and was probably a member of the Big Circle Gang."
The camel's confidant immediately revealed all the information he knew.
"Did Lin Haowen have someone do it?"
The camel's face was extremely gloomy.
"It's possible, but we can't be sure yet. Wu Zhiwei used our Tung Sing's informant at the Yau Ma Tei Police Station to arrest Lin Haowen, and then Lin Haowen was taken away by the West Kowloon Regional Police."
He himself probably didn't have time to arrange the assassination, but it's also possible that he arranged for someone to specifically kill Wu Zhiwei.
In addition, Lam Ho-man took out five million, saying he wanted to borrow troops to drive Tung Sing out of Tsim Sha Tsui. After the matter was settled, he would give us another twenty million.
Clearly, Camel has a very strong control over Dongxing, and Wu Zhiwei's cooperation with Bai Tou Weng has always been under his surveillance.
"To be able to come up with 25 million in one go, it seems this kid inherited Han Chen's secret stash of money, but..."
Camel's face darkened. "Thinking you can make a name for yourself in Hong Kong with just this little bit of money? You're too naive. Go do three things right now."
The first thing is that the assassin was able to find Wu Zhiwei so accurately, which means that there must be a mole in Wu Zhiwei's life. We need to find out who this mole is.
The second thing is to spread the word that anyone who dares to lend troops to Lin Haowen is going against Dongxing.
The third thing is to inform all the big bosses and leaders of Tung Sing that I want to wipe out Lam Ho-man in Hong Kong Island. Tonight, I will wipe out his territory, and all expenses will be paid from the triad's public account!
Once Lin Haowen is released from the police station, any brother who can take him out will be immediately promoted to a high-ranking position in the police force, and then promoted to a branch leader. The reputation of our Tung Sing gang must not be dishonored!
Camel's stated intention was to protect Dongxing's reputation and to completely eliminate Lin Haowen.
In reality, he wanted to maintain his "value" by killing Lin Haowen; otherwise, if even a nobody could ride roughshod over him, how could he possibly get more benefits?
"If we, Tung Sing, say it, those local 'armory' groups on Hong Kong Island will definitely not dare to lend troops to Lam Ho-man. Only the Big Circle Boys of Hanging Neck Ridge dare to risk their lives for money. Including the people under Lam Ho-man's command, there will be no more than three hundred people at most."
"Our Dongxing can send at least three thousand knife-wielding men; each one could drown Lin Haowen's men with a single spit!"
Camel's confidant had already predicted Lin Haowen's fate; he didn't believe Lin Haowen could withstand the "Thunderous Fury" of their Dongxing.
"Go get to work."
Camel looked completely calm and composed, as if he didn't care about Lin Haowen at all.
With three thousand against three hundred, unless every one of Lin Haowen's men was a double-flower red stick, he didn't know how Dongxing could possibly lose.
……
West Kowloon Regional Headquarters, the interrogation room where Lam Ho-man was located.
Since Huang Bingyao left, Lin Haowen has been left standing there. Apart from two police officers from the Serious Crimes Unit taking a routine statement, no one has come to question him.
Until Huang Bingyao walked into the interrogation room again.
"Officer Wong, I'm starving! Can I order side dishes from your Organized Crime and Triad Bureau's boxed meals?"
Lin Haowen asked with a smile.
Huang Bingyao glanced at Lin Haowen: "Okay, Yung Kee's roast goose or Fu Kee's char siu?"
"Can we order everything?"
"Damn, should I go to Tao Tao Ju and buy you some pastries for dessert?"
"That would be great."
Hearing this, Huang Bingyao shook his head helplessly, then dragged over a chair and sat down in front of Lin Haowen. "Dongxing has already gathered their forces to wipe you out. You're still thinking about eating? Do you really want to eat your last meal before you're beheaded?"
"Officer Wong, you need to eat well to have the energy to do your job."
Lin Haowen shrugged, looking completely indifferent.
"So, what's your plan now, kid?"
Huang Bingyao gave Lin Haowen a deep look before asking a question.
"Isn't the Foreign Secretary going to Hong Kong Island? Before his arrival and while he's in Hong Kong Island, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) issued a statement prohibiting large-scale gang fights. Isn't that reasonable?"
Lin Haowen said with a smile.
"It's usually reasonable, but not this time."
After a moment of contemplation, Wong Bing-yiu slowly shook his head. "Ah-Man, you know, there are so many triads on Hong Kong Island, with half a million members alone. Our Organized Crime and Triad Bureau simply can't manage them all."
Therefore, we need to maintain a tacit understanding with all the major triads in Hong Kong. If they don't cross the line, we won't either. Forcing our way in would be too deliberate.
"Inspector Wong, I won't make things difficult for you."
Lin Haowen smiled slightly, "Please inform my lawyer to come see me."
