Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 287 The Overbearing Chen Guozhong

Sihai Group.

On the surface, it is a legitimate trading group.

In fact, the group's files filled an entire wall inside the police station.

Sihai Group has another name: Yiqun Society.

That's right, it's the same Yi Qun who came from Po-hao back then.

The Chaozhou Gang was actually one of the earliest social organizations to be corporatized.

There was another club that was also corporatizing at the same time; yes, that club was called Shin-Ki.

It is also a group that originated from the Chaozhou community.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere at the Sihai Group headquarters was somewhat oppressive.

A dense swarm of men in black appeared at headquarters.

Today is the day to elect the next leader of the Sihai Group.

Strictly speaking, it was the day Cao Ya's will was announced.

Cao Ya had long anticipated his death, so he had written his will long ago and handed it over to Attorney Huang.

Once I pass away, my will will be made public.

“This will cannot be made public.” Cao Ya’s right-hand man, Wu Ma, was covered in sweat.

Attorney Huang was shocked: "No, this is Mr. Cao's last wish. If I don't publish this will according to his will, I'll go to hell!"

"To hell with you!" Wu Ma cursed. "From the day you became the gang's lawyer, you were destined for hell to be with us."

Wu Ma's face was dark. He said to Attorney Huang,

"You must listen to me on this matter."

"Otherwise, our Sihai Group will be in complete chaos."

"You, me, and the gang will all come to a bad end."

Attorney Huang looked at Wu Ma with suspicion and uncertainty: "What's your guess?"

“I suspect…” Wu Ma’s face showed a trace of grief, “that Cao Cao’s actions were done by his own people.”

what? !

Attorney Huang's face turned pale: "You mustn't let your imagination run wild."

"Don't you know who I am?" Wu Ma asked, his eyes wide. "You don't believe me?"

Attorney Huang swallowed hard: "I believe you!"

"Good buddy!" Wu Ma breathed a sigh of relief. "If you hadn't agreed, this would have been troublesome."

He pointed to the name on the will.

"We can't publish the will like this. If it is, the organization will be thrown into chaos."

"With internal and external troubles, we are really doomed."

Attorney Huang agreed.

He had no choice but to agree.

Three years ago, the name on the will would have been sufficient to support the organization, but now, it is no longer adequate.

"Who do you want to send it to?" Attorney Huang's question clearly indicated her support for him.

Wu Ma gritted his teeth and said, "Axiu!"

"What?" Attorney Huang's eyes were somewhat flustered. "Is this okay? Ash is a free spirit. In recent years, apart from being close to Atai, he has rarely fought with his brothers."

Wu Ma nodded solemnly:

"This is enough!"

“Axiu is Cao Cao’s adopted son, so there’s no problem passing the throne to him.”

"It doesn't matter if people in the club have some minor complaints."

"With the greater good at stake, they will accept it."

“That’s not right!” Attorney Huang frowned. “Then why not pass it to Artest? Artest has a lot of support from his brothers.”

Wu Ma glared at him fiercely:
"Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"It is very likely that Cao Cao's actions were done by an insider."

"The person who can do this possesses immense power."

"What we need to ensure now is not to avenge Cao Gong, but to stabilize the gang first."

"This requires a premise."

"That is……"

"He cannot be the murderer of Lord Cao!"

"Atai is a suspect."

"This means we can't choose him."

"Don't you understand yet?!"

Attorney Huang's face was ashen: "You're doubting Atai?"

“It’s not just him!” Wu Ma’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. “I suspect anyone who has a lot of men under my control.”

Attorney Huang remained silent.

That's exactly the reason.

Wu Ma said expressionlessly:
"Whether it's Atai or Ashu, we've watched them grow up."

"I don't want to doubt them."

"Lord Cao is not only our leader, but also our brother."

"What should we do if something happens to our brother?"

"I'd rather Atai resent me in the future than let anything go wrong."

Attorney Huang smiled wryly:

Why does he resent you?

"He wasn't originally Cao Cao's preferred candidate!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say. This will will be in Ashu's name!"

Wu Ma patted Attorney Huang on the shoulder:

"Brothers!"

Attorney Huang curled his lip:

"What a load of bull! He's nothing but a guy who'll be going to hell with us in the future."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Alright, let's not delay any longer," Attorney Huang sighed. "We need to announce the will to them."

The two arrived in the hall and happened to see Xiao Qi come out to speak:
"Today is the day to elect a leader. Let me say this first: if the person in charge is not Brother Tai, we brothers will absolutely disagree."

Wu Ma narrowed his eyes, slowly approached, and asked:
"What do you want to do if you disagree?"

"rebel?"

Xiao Qi wilted as soon as he saw Wu Ma speak.

"who are you?"

"You think you can call the shots with the Four Seas Gang?"

"Then you might as well just sit in the head of the household yourself."

Wu Ma continues to deliver.

Xiao Qi's face changed, and he quickly tried to explain:

"Master Ma, I am simply stating a fact."

Wu Ma retorted without holding back:
"What fact?"

"Cao Cao has just passed away, and the seven-day mourning period has not yet passed."

"Are you going to start jumping up and talking now?"

Xiao Qi's face turned deathly pale.

Cao Ya was shot and killed while under his protection.

He was wrong.

Wu Ma glared at everyone and waved the folder in his hand:

"I'll tell you."

"Cao Cao left a will before his death."

“He had already chosen the successor of the organization long ago.”

"You don't need to choose!"

"Xiao Qi, aren't you going back to your seat?"

Xiao Qi sat down obediently.

He wouldn't dare to challenge Wu Ma!
All the underlings, regardless of whose men they were, lowered their heads, afraid of being seen by Wu Ma.

Wu Ma said resentfully:
"Look at you all, one or two of you?"

"Can you be of some use?"

"The body of Lord Cao is barely cold, and you're already fighting over who gets to be in charge."

"Where has your usual loyalty and righteousness gone?"

Xiao Qi stood up again:
“One person does the deed and one person takes the blame. I admit the trouble I caused. Mr. Ma, please don’t implicate others.”

Wu Ma casually pushed Xiao Qi back onto the sofa, and the latter didn't dare to resist at all.

"You think you're the only one who'll step forward?"

"No one stopped you when you stood up for yourself; it's obvious they wanted you to stand up for yourself too."

"As long as you step forward, you can bypass Cao Cao's will in my possession."

"That way, you can have the position of the person in charge made available for all of you to argue about."

Use your brain more!

Xiao Qi's face turned deathly pale.

Things shouldn't be like this.

Wu Ma looked at everyone and said:
"Is there anyone who doesn't want to hear Cao Cao's will?"

No one spoke.

"Is there anyone who doesn't want to abide by Cao Cao's will?"

No one spoke.

Wu Ma said in a deep voice:
"I'll say it first."

"Anyone who doesn't want to abide by Cao Cao's will may leave."

"As long as you remain, this will must be obeyed."

"Otherwise, it would be disloyal and unjust."

No one spoke.

Those who venture out into the world of martial arts would rather be called worthless than bear the label of disloyal and unrighteous.

Then no one will dare to play with you.

Just like that "traitor Dong," with that kind of reputation, no one dared to associate with him.

Wu Ma looked at everyone:
“Very good, you all acknowledge Lord Cao’s will.”

"Attorney Huang, it's time to read the will."

Attorney Huang composed himself and read out "Cao Ya's Will": "...It is hereby decided that Li Xiu will become the chairman of Sihai Group."

Everyone was confused.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but look at Chen Tai, who stood there like a statue.

Li Xiu was also stunned—this couldn't be right, how could it be him? Shouldn't it be Atai?
Wu Ma took the will from Attorney Huang's hand and handed it to Li Xiu:

"Axiu, have you always thought that Cao Cao didn't like you?"

"Actually, Cao Cao values ​​you the most."

"From today onwards, you are the chairman of the Sihai Group and the new head of the organization."

Li Xiu was still in shock.

Chen Tai couldn't take it anymore, stood up and glanced at Li Xiu:
"Ash, congratulations."

This was the most he could say.

After saying that, he pursed his lips and left with his men.

However, Chen Tai returned in less than half a minute.

Wu Ma's heart stirred:
"Atai, what happened?" Chen Tai sat down again helplessly.
"Someone is blocking the way, I can't move!"

Wu Ma was furious:
"There are actually people causing trouble at my Sihai Group?"

"Who is so bold?"

Then he saw a long line of people.

The leader looked at Wu Ma with a half-smile, and the latter said loudly:

"A bunch of blind fools, didn't they see Inspector Chen arrive?"

"Aren't you going to bring a stool over here right now?!"

Chen Guozhong glanced at Wu Ma speechlessly:
"Master Ma, you're a senior figure in the martial arts world, there's no need for this."

Wu Ma sighed:

"Anyone who sees a Hong Kong tycoon arrive will react the same way I do."

The person who could make Wu Ma change color like this was, of course, Chen Guozhong.

Chen Guozhong's reputation has grown louder and louder in recent months, even reaching its peak a few days ago.

No one can understand why such a newly minted billionaire from Hong Kong would choose to work as a policeman with an annual salary of tens of thousands.

Almost everyone said he was sick.

However, all the figures in the martial arts world were on high alert, hoping that this person would not trace it back to them.

Chen Guozhong's aura is too great. If the other party were to go against him, he could easily crush him without the foreigners even needing to intervene.

Wu Ma's least favorite person to face is Chen Guozhong.

You can say whatever you want to the other police officers.

But how could you dare say anything to Chen Guozhong?
They can make you surrender obediently.

No wonder Chen Tai returned obediently, not daring to say even a few words.

"Is there any instruction from Inspector Chen?" Wu Ma asked with a broad smile.

Chen Guozhong also sighed:

"I was just sitting in the office doing fine, but you guys had to cause me a lot of trouble."

Wu Ma smiled wryly:
“Inspector Chan, we’re busy handling Mr. Cao’s funeral arrangements and dealing with the group’s affairs… Besides, our cooperation has always been good; we are legitimate businessmen.”

“Yes, yes, you are legitimate businessmen, and you are very law-abiding, unlike those bastards who only cause me trouble.” Chen Guozhong nodded repeatedly. “So, even though I know you killed Brother Hua’s men a few days ago, I didn’t say anything.”

"Nobody goes to that godforsaken place, Kowloon Wharf."

"As a result, we spent the whole day on that day."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Hua Ge's men broke the rules first and caused trouble everywhere in Southeast Asia."

"Why didn't someone like that die in a shootout with the local gang?"

"They just have to cause us trouble."

The expressions on everyone's faces changed.

Wu Ma's smile widened even more:

"Yes, those bastards are so annoying."

Wu Ma was not a young man from all over the world; he had already understood Chen Guozhong's subtext—to follow the rules.

In the world of martial arts feuds, as long as ordinary people aren't involved, you can kill however you want.

Even if the two gangs completely destroy each other, it won't concern him.

Chen Guozhong smiled:

Please accept my condolences regarding Lord Cao's passing.

"He's a senior figure in the martial arts world, after all."

"Nobody wants this to happen."

Wu Ma could only manage a wry smile.

Xiao Qi stood up again in a flash:
"Inspector Chan, this is an internal matter for our triad. You don't seem to have the right to interfere, do you?"

Chen Guozhong looked at him curiously and asked Wu Ma, puzzled:

"Is this guy one of yours?"

Wu Ma answered seriously:
"People from all over the world".

Chen Guozhong said coldly:

"Mr. Cao Ya was a well-known entrepreneur in Hong Kong, and his assassination attempt alarmed Hong Kong."

"You actually say this is your family matter?"

"who are you?"

"Triad members?"

Chen Tai quickly said:
"Xiao Qi, sit down."

Xiao Qi sat down dejectedly.

Chen Guozhong was very disappointed:
"Mr. Ma, in my opinion, Sihai Group is the smartest group."

"After Po-hao was imprisoned and Lei-luo escaped, Cao Gong led the Si-hai Group to a successful transformation, which was so wise and decisive."

"How come there are still such hotheads popping up?"

Xiao Qi lowered his head and remained silent.

He was reprimanded by two powerful figures in succession and was speechless.

Chen Guozhong asked:
"With so many people gathered together, is it to elect the leader of the group?"

"Master Ma, whom did Cao Cao choose in his will?"

Li Xiu stood up and extended his hand:
"Inspector Chen, it's me."

"Li Xiu, Chairman of the Sihai Gang".

Chen Guozhong shook hands and said earnestly:

"Mr. Li, please accept my condolences regarding Mr. Cao's passing."

"Our police will catch the murderer in the shortest possible time."

"During this period, I hope that Sihai Group can remain stable."

Li Xiu smiled and shook his head:
“This is our family matter. If we don’t do anything, we will have no place in this world.”

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"That's a pity."

He let go and patted it.

"Alright everyone, please come with me to the police station."

"I suspect you are involved in triad activities."

Wu Ma quickly said:
"Inspector Chen, is that alright?"

Chen Guozhong said solemnly:

"Master Ma, you know the rules."

"Please, Master Ma."

Wu Ma exclaimed in astonishment:
"I am coming too?"

Chen Guozhong countered with:

"Aren't you one of the Four Seas?"

"Don't worry, I'll arrange a nice single room for you."

Xiao Qi finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"who do you think You Are?!"

"Is this how you order us around?"

The room fell silent.

Wu Ma stared at Xiao Qi in disbelief.

Xiao Qi's boss, Chen Tai, is the same.

The same thought popped into both of their minds: "We should have taught this kid a lesson; now we've really messed things up!"

Chen Guozhong chuckled:
"I'm actually not that great."

“Starting today, I will be sweeping all of your Sihai Group’s venues for a week straight.”

"Starting tomorrow, this building will have its water, electricity, and gas cut off!"

"I can still do that."

Xiao Qi laughed heartily:

"He boasts without thinking."

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Tai quickly covered Xiao Qi's mouth, not daring to let him continue speaking.

Is this knife poisoned?
He whispered fiercely in Xiao Qi's ear:
"Are you crazy?"

Do you know who this is?

"The Kowloon Headquarters is the most dangerous organization you can't afford to mess with. You still dare to provoke him?"

"He is a billionaire and owns many large companies."

"The water, electricity, and gas outages at our Sihai Group Building are just a matter of a word from them."

"This can be achieved without going through the police station at all."

"Understand?"

Xiao Qi was dumbfounded!

what?
He's a billionaire?
Then why did you become a policeman?
What's the point of doing this?!
Wu Ma quickly stepped forward and said:
"Brother Zhong, the kid is just being childish, don't take it to heart."

Chen Tai also said:

“Brother Zhong, I’ve spoiled the kid. Let’s talk things out.”

Li Xiu had no choice but to speak:

"Brother Zhong, I didn't raise him well. I'll definitely have a good talk with him later!"

Chen Guozhong shook his head, his whole body radiating excitement:

"It's been awful ever since I started working in an office."

"First-tier cities are still the best."

"You always encounter interesting things."

"Michael, Haoyun, Ma Jun, take them away!"

Ma Jun grabbed Xiao Qi and looked at him with extreme admiration:
"Kid, you actually dare to talk to Brother Zhong like that, I really admire you!"

Chen Guozhong glared at him:
"What are you talking about?"

"Let them get into the armored vehicle."

"Originally, I wanted to give Ma Gong and Ashu some face..."

"Now it seems they don't need this face!"

The people from Sihai Group all looked at Xiao Qi with hatred. This damn hothead has dragged his brothers down with him!

Chen Guozhong stood with his hands on his hips, watching the members of the Sihai Gang line up and being led towards the bomb disposal vehicle.

Wu Ma was the last to board the bus, and he said with a wry smile:
"Brother Zhong, believe me, this was not our intention."

Chen Guozhong looked at him speechlessly:
"You think I'd get angry with a little kid?"

"Don't worry, I'm doing this for your own good."

Wu Ma asked, puzzled:
"What does it mean?"

Chen Guozhong said in a low voice:

"Didn't you also suspect Cao Cao's death? Otherwise, why didn't you let Atai take over?"

Wu Ma's expression changed drastically:

"Brother Zhong, you can't just say things like that."

Chen Guozhong snorted coldly:

“The name on Cao Ya’s will is not Li Xiu, but Jiang Wei.”

“I understand why you don’t dare to let Jiang Wei be the leader, after all, Cao Ya was just attacked and killed.”

"But why don't you dare let Chen Tai be the leader?"

Wu Ma looked at him with eyes that looked like he'd seen a ghost:
“Brother Zhong…”

"How would I know, right?" Chen Guozhong looked at him with a smile. "Officer Ma, when we get to the police station, I'll give you a surprise!"
