Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 8: There is no loyalty or righteousness in the martial world.
"Boss, you want to buy intelligence?" Wang Dao's eyes widened.

Liang Kun rolled his eyes hard:
"Can't I buy intelligence?"

Wang Dao scratched his head, his eyes clear yet foolish under the influence of sophisticated fraud techniques.

"You're a big shot in the underworld."

Handsome Kun scoffed:
"What a load of bull, a big shot in the underworld."

“I haven’t officially taken office yet; I’m just a minor figure in Hung Hing, known as Old Fourth Nine.”

"After tomorrow's official start date, I'll be heading to Mong Kok to risk my life. Whether I'll survive is another matter."

"You idiot, you're still following me like this?"

Wang Dao thought about it carefully and finally nodded.

Handsome Kun sighed:

"Another one who doesn't know his own limitations."

Wang Dao was very dissatisfied:

"I did my homework beforehand and spent 50,000 yuan to get you selected from a bunch of big shots in the underworld."

Mentioning intelligence, Brother Kun's expression shifted.
"Buy me some intelligence later."

Wang Dao is very straightforward in reaching out.

"What?" Liang Kun felt confused.

Wang Dao felt very wronged:

"I spent all my savings on you; that was my inheritance from my parents..."

Liang Kun paused for a moment, then said:
"Come with me to get the money in a bit."

“Handsome boy, your money was well spent. Being my brother, Handsome Kun’s, is something I’d be ashamed of if I didn’t have any money.”

Wang Dao was very puzzled:

"Boss, why are you spending money to listen to gossip?"

Handsome Kun sneered:

"Kid, don't take your good fortune for granted."

"You have no idea how useful the information you gave me today was."

Wang Dao looked at him suspiciously:
"What's so interesting about gossip from crows, little B, and guzzling water?"

Liang Kun was speechless for a long time before finally saying:
"No, that's not it. It's a resolution from the company's General Assembly Hall."

He began teaching Wang Dao.

"The news that I, Gan Zitai, and Xi B have been laid off is nothing. The company will release it sooner or later."

"Even the news that I'm going to make straw sandals won't matter; the company will still release it."

"However, the fact that Gan Zitai and I went to Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui respectively to build fortifications was top secret."

"We can only release them after we have established our positions."

"However, the fact that you were able to buy it shows what?"

The kingly way was said casually.
"The fact that the information broker can provide information clearly means that someone told him to do so."

Handsome Kun chuckled coldly:

"Yes, so who would leak such top-secret information?"

The Way of the King is without hesitation:
"They're from Juyitang."

Handsome Kun sneered and shook his head:

"No, no, no, no, the people of Juyitang aren't stupid. They wouldn't and wouldn't dare to reveal such deadly information."

"Handsome guy, let me tell you some rules."

Wang Dao immediately stood up straight and listened attentively.

Liang Kun was very satisfied with Wang Dao's attitude:

"When you're out in the game, you have to follow the rules."

"The underworld has its own rules, and so do gangs."

"The company's rule is that fellow members must not fight each other."

"Company intelligence must not be leaked to rival organizations."

"Otherwise, once caught, they'll be stabbed three times and stabbed six times."

Wang Dao asked blankly:
"That……"

How did this news leak out?

Of course, Liang Kun didn't know that Wang Dao obtained the information directly through the system. He sneered.

"It's quite obvious."

"Either the person who told you this information is incredibly powerful, and even knows about the meetings of the Gathering Righteousness Hall."

Wang Dao shook his head and said:
“If that were the case, Hung Hing would have been a complete mess long ago, and I wouldn’t have joined.”

"That's impossible."

Liang Kun's eyes have become deep and profound:

"Then, that's the second possibility." Wang Dao pressed on curiously.
"What is it?"

He was genuinely curious.

This information was clearly obtained directly from Juyitang by the system, so it's unlikely that anyone leaked it.

Wang Dao wanted to know what Liang Kun would think.

From now on, he will be Leung Kwan's right-hand man, and knowing Leung Kwan's behavior patterns will make it easier for him to infiltrate.

Liang Kun sneered:
"That means someone deliberately leaked this information."

Wang Dao lost his voice and said:
"Someone did it on purpose?"

"Isn't this just harming people?"

Gan Zitai and Liang Kun are going to Yau Tsim Mong to work as fortresses.

There are already enough players in Yau Tsim Mong; nobody wants to add another one.

Wang Dao suddenly remembered today's intelligence; it seemed that Tung Sing already knew that Gan Zitai was going to Yau Tsim Mong to build a fortress.

Even Dongxing's uncle, Aben, had already set a trap for him.

Handsome Kun's face was gloomy:

"For me personally, this could be devastating news."

"But for our company, it may not be bad news."

Ok? !

Liang Kun explained:
“I am, after all, the head of Hung Hing. If something happens to me, the company has a reason to step in.”

Wang Dao was dumbfounded:

"So, the person who could set up such a scheme and then dare to leak the information... wouldn't that be..."

Liang Kun stopped Wang Dao from saying what he was about to say.

"There are some things that we should keep to ourselves; there's absolutely no need to say them out loud."

Wang Dao gasped.
"Isn't this too dark?"

Handsome Kun said with a forced smile:

"This is the world of martial arts!"

Wang Dao scratched his head:
"Isn't it said that people who are out in the world should be loyal to each other?"

"This is not what I expected."

Liang Kun looked at him like he was an idiot:
Why do you want to get involved in this kind of life?

Wang Daoli naturally said:
"That's what they say in the movies, 'When you're out in the game, you have to be loyal...'"

Handsome Kun said expressionlessly:
"Film companies in Hong Kong are basically controlled by triads. Actors who want to act in movies have to be affiliated with a triad."

“Some of them are even among the core figures of the organization.”

"Those film and television companies, in order to curry favor with the gang and for their own safety, naturally dared not tell the truth."

"Nine out of ten things in movies are embellished."

"If these organizations are really that good, why are they still illegal?"

"Young man, you need to learn to distinguish right from wrong."

Wang Dao, "unwilling to accept it," said:

"Is there really no loyalty or brotherhood left in the martial arts world?"

Suddenly, Liang Kun threw his head back and laughed loudly. His voice was low and hoarse, and he seemed inexplicably sad.

"When I was young, I thought like you that joining a gang would give me a lot of loyal and righteous brothers."

"Reality has slapped me in the face several times. If it weren't for my boss, Brother Long, treating me quite well, I would be selling salted duck eggs by now."

"Loyalty?"

Do you know what righteousness is?

"Upon opening it, it revealed—I, for, the lamb!"

"loyalty?"

"That's a sword and fork in my heart."

Wang Dao was dumbfounded; the contents of the slice from his previous life had come to life.

Liang Kun thought Wang Dao didn't believe him, so he said again,

"If loyalty and righteousness truly existed, would you have received such intelligence?"

"If there were truly loyalty and righteousness, the powerful figures wouldn't have left us uninformed if they wanted to set up a scheme."

“In some people’s eyes, it’s good that we can gain a foothold in Mong Kok.”

"If you can't stand up straight, that's not a problem."

"The company won't lose money either way."

Finally, he said coldly,
"When you're out in the game, everything else is superficial; only money is real."
