Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 111 "111" Kills Two Birds with One Stone

After the magazine moved, the next step was recruitment.

The magazine "Jianghu" has now changed from a bi-monthly to a weekly publication.

With just these few cats and dogs, we definitely can't manage.

Moreover, after the establishment of the Jianghu Paparazzi Team, Su Xingbai sent a steady stream of intelligence here.

Lin Yao could only assign an office space to Su Xingbo and others, which was designated as the news gathering department.

The main thing is to hire editors to filter these messages.

Finally, it was sent to Editor-in-Chief Yang Siwen to determine which items could be published and which could not.

The magazine has already developed a mature system.

All that's needed now is to add more staff.

As for going a step further, how about buying a newspaper and then a television station?

Anyway, ATV has been turned into a mess by the foreigners, so it would be reasonable for us to take it over.

Moreover, it is through this system that Lin Yao now almost controls the entire source of information for Hong Kong triads.

To put it bluntly, even those who specialize in selling intelligence may not be as well-informed as they are.

Su Xingbai certainly deserves a lot of credit.

After that, things will be much easier if we take control of the people Han Chen planted in the police force.

"Hiss, why do I feel more and more like the mastermind behind some mysterious organization?" Aaron suddenly realized. "It seems I'm planning to become a legitimate businessman!"

He shook his head, dismissing these strange thoughts.

……

Lin Yao thought that after he taught Fang Jiexia a lesson, she would behave herself for a while.

But to Lin Yao's surprise, this woman was even more capable of causing trouble than he had imagined.

Moreover, this woman has a very powerful background; even Wong Yuen-bun, the superintendent of West Kowloon, is her sycophant.

So the next day, while Lin Yao was dealing with the magazine's relocation, he heard a call from his subordinate, A Bao: "Boss, something bad has happened! A bunch of cops are here to investigate!"

Lin Yao frowned and said, "What's so strange about checking IDs? There's nothing wrong with our place. Let them check if they want."

Ah Bao said helplessly, "No, boss, they've checked over a dozen of our establishments already!"

"What?" Lin Yao frowned immediately. "I'm coming right away."

Lin Yao told Yang Siwen to continue the relocation, while he himself went directly to Shilong Street.

A large number of gangsters had nothing to do and squatted by the roadside.

Upon seeing Lin Yao arrive, they all stood up and respectfully greeted him, "Boss!"

This scene alone drew the attention of passersby on both sides of the street.

After all, Lin Yao's demeanor was simply too grand.

Lin Yao arrived at his nightclub with a grim expression, only to see Ah Bao confronting two patrol officers.

"You damn cops, what do you think this place is? Trying to pull some tricks? Believe me or not, I'll make sure none of you leave this street alive!" Abao said angrily to the patrol officers in front of him.

The patrol officers were on edge, as there were more and more Wo Luen Shing gangsters around.

They were almost completely surrounded.

It seems like there's always the possibility of an accidental clash.

Of course, if they dare to fire, they will definitely die a horrible death.

Just as both sides were about to fight, Lin Yao shouted, interrupting their conflict: "Stop it, both of you!"

Then the crowd parted into two paths, allowing Lin Yao to walk directly through.

Upon seeing Lin Yao appear, A Bao spat at the patrol officers and then said to Lin Yao, "Boss, these cops are up to no good!"

"Slap!" Lin Yao slapped A Bao across the face.

Abao was completely stunned on the spot.

Lin Yao didn't waste any words and directly ordered his henchmen to disperse: "Scatter, let them go!"

Seeing that Lin Yao's henchmen had made way for them, the patrol officers breathed a sigh of relief.

After the police left, Lin Yao snorted and said to A Bao, "Come with me!"

Abao didn't dare to say anything more and obediently lowered his head and followed Lin Yao back to the arena.

Because the police were checking license plates, all the customers in the venue had left, leaving behind a mess.

Lin Yao sat down at the bar and said to the bartender, "Two Godfathers!"

The bartender nodded and quickly brought over two drinks.

After sitting down, Lin Yao said directly to A Bao, "Do you know why I hit you just now?"

"I must have done something wrong!" Abao said, looking down.

The four of them escaped from the Chang Le Gang only because of Lin Yao.

Even if Lin Yao were to slap him, or even break his legs, A Bao wouldn't dare to resist.

After all, although Ah Bao is a lively and flamboyant guy who likes to show off, he is still quite loyal.

Facing Lin Yao, who was like an older brother to him, he dared not lose his temper no matter what he did. Lin Yao said with a hint of exasperation, "You've been the boss for so long, when are you going to use your brain? Have you ever thought about why they're investigating every single establishment? They're just trying to provoke you!"

"Once you get angry at these cops, things will be much easier! The anti-triad unit will definitely take you straight back to the police station and give you a taste of their own medicine!"

"Then, in order to bail you out, I had to bow down to the police!"

Lin Yao had already informed his subordinates about Raymond's transfer from West Kowloon, and warned them to be careful.

But that bastard Abao completely ignored it!

Knowing he was in the wrong, Abao could only lower his head and say to Lin Yao, "Boss, I was wrong!"

"Hmph, just wait, I reckon someone's coming to arrest you soon!" Lin Yao downed the Godfather drink that the bartender had brought him in one gulp.

Abao suddenly raised his head and said, "It can't be that serious, can it? There was no conflict!"

Before Ah Bao could finish speaking, an anti-triad officer led a group of people into the nightclub.

This person had met Lin Yao once before; he was Ma Jun, who had visited his place before.

Ma Jun led the police officers in and said to A Bao, "We now suspect you of being involved in a triad-like organization. Come with us!"

Abao flew into a rage and slapped the guy as he stood up.

Ma Jun was equally defiant and directly retorted.

Just as the two were facing off, Lin Yao said to A Bao, "A Bao, go back with him and behave yourself!"

Lin Yao's words drew everyone's attention to him.

This made Ma Jun frown: "You're his boss? That handsome Yao from Wo Shing?"

“Mr. Ma, you were the one who brought men to raid my place before. I didn’t expect it to be you again this time. Are we just incompatible?” Lin Yao said to Ma Jun, toying with his wine glass.

Ma Jun sneered and said, "I don't believe in these things, but I do know that there isn't a single good person in the underworld!"

Lin Yao shook his head: "Indeed, I agree with what you said. There aren't many good people in gangs! But we're just bad, not stupid!"

"The stupidest people are those who don't even realize they've been used as a weapon!"

Ma Jun frowned immediately and said, "What do you mean?"

“Go back and ask your Superintendent Lu Qichang!” Lin Yao said calmly. “Instead of wasting your breath talking to me here, you should go ask your direct superior!”

Ma Jun immediately sensed something was wrong; he was reckless, not stupid.

He sensed something was wrong when the director gave him an order that bypassed his superiors.

Now that Lin Yao has brought this up again, I immediately feel that something is amiss.

However, Lin Yao didn't seem to want to talk to him, so he could only take A Bao back to the police station first.

He then immediately contacted his direct superior, Lu Qichang.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qichang was immediately shocked: "You actually went and made the arrest?"

"What's the problem?" Ma Jun asked, puzzled.

"Damn it!" Lu Qichang said helplessly, "You've been tricked, you've been used as a pawn!"

Lu Qichang immediately explained the pros and cons to Ma Jun.

Especially Lin Yao's previous collaboration with Raymond, and then his falling out with Huang Yuanbin.

Ma Jun's eyes widened immediately: "So, the other side has absolutely no problems?"

Lu Qichang said speechlessly, "You only realize this now? Do you think the reason I never bother with Lin Yao is because he's so careful in his actions, you could say he's impeccable!"

"Do you know that it's legal for them to collect protection money these days? They've set up a security company, and now they're collecting security fees like hell!"

"At that time, all Huang Yuanbin and his men need to do is hand you over to appease Lin Yao's anger. They can also take the opportunity to blackmail Lin Yao into doing things for them, and at the same time, get rid of some of us who are disobedient. It's killing two birds with one stone!"

Ma Jun was dumbfounded: "What do we do now, Officer Lu!"

"Sigh, I just hope Lin Yao remains rational!" Lu Qichang said helplessly. "I'll talk to him!"

Ma Jun said somewhat irritably, "Why are there so many ridiculous things going on here?"

"Hehe, being a policeman isn't just about catching thieves!" Lu Qichang patted Ma Jun on the shoulder and said, "You still have a long way to go!"

Just as the two were talking, a police officer suddenly knocked on the door: "Inspector Lu, Lin Yao has brought his men to bail out Ah Bao!"

Hearing the officer's words, Lu Qichang said with a laugh, "You came really fast! Let's go out and meet him, this kid is sure to throw a tantrum on the spot!"

As he spoke, Lu Qichang pulled Ma Jun along and they walked out of the office together.

As soon as they came out, they bumped into Lin Yao and his group.

However, Lin Yao came prepared this time, bringing not only his advisor Su, but also another middle-aged man.

Lu Qichang's expression changed immediately upon seeing the middle-aged man: "Attorney Huang, I didn't expect you to get involved in this matter as well!"

Lin Yao chuckled and said, "Attorney Huang Dawen is someone I specially invited. I heard that your West Kowloon Police Station's anti-triad unit is a den of thieves, so I specially sent Attorney Huang to back me up!"

That's right, Lin Yao invited a heavyweight guest, Huang Dawen.

This old guy is also from Hutchison Whampoa, although he's not involved in organized crime, he's a triad lawyer.

He belongs to the uncle generation of Hehetu.

Lin Yao had to use a lot of personal connections to persuade him to come out of retirement.
