Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 85 The Kingly Way's Ingenious Plan

Le Huizhen immediately placed the wine glass in front of Wang Dao:

"Brother Dao, please have a drink, let me fill your glass... What big news is it?"

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"You'll have to ask Inspector Chan about that."

Le Huizhen quickly turned her head:
"Officer Chen, is there some big news tonight?"

Chen Guozhong glared at Wang Dao:
"Wang Dao is joking."

Le Huizhen shook her head:

"Brother Dao wouldn't joke around."

Chen Guozhong's eyes widened:
"Is this guy joking?"

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

Le Huizhen smiled wryly:

"At first I thought Brother Dao was joking with me, but he said very seriously that he never jokes."

"No, his exact words were something like he never jokes with women."

Chen Guozhong felt strange; he had a feeling that something was going on between the two.
Little did he know that when Wang Dao said those words, he swung his fist, and a tree was broken in two.

Lok Wai-chun is truly unforgettable!
Chen Guozhong smiled wryly:

"There is news about it, but it's very dangerous and needs to be kept secret."

Le Huizhen was very disappointed.

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
“Ah Zhen, Inspector Chen is stingy, but I am not.”

"I have some news for you, would you like to hear it?"

Le Huizhen immediately became interested:
"Listen!"

Wang Dao lowered his voice, just enough for Le Huizhen and Chen Guozhong to hear:
"I heard from people that the Central Hospital is special."

Le Huizhen frowned:
"Why is it unusual?"

Wang Dao's voice grew even deeper, just deep enough for the two of them to hear him clearly.

"It's said that everyone who enters Mingxin Hospital feels like they're being monitored!"

Chen Guozhong's gaze was murderous.

Can I tell Lok Wai-jin about this?
Le Huizhen looked shocked.

"You mean...Mingxin Hospital is haunted?"

Chen Guozhong almost spat out his drink—"Beautiful lady, what are you thinking?"

Why would you think of ghosts?
But then I thought about it again, and my eyes widened – it really was true!

The feeling of being watched, especially in a hospital, inevitably brings to mind the traditional image of ghosts.

Le Huizhen shuddered, her voice becoming softer:

Is Mingxin Hospital haunted?

"real or fake?"

Wang Dao stared at Le Huizhen in astonishment:
"You really dare to think that way?"

"What ghost story?"

"I've already said that people who enter that hospital seem to be under surveillance."

Le Huizhen spoke with conviction:
What kind of place is a hospital?

"That's an extremely yin place, and people die there all the time."

"What if a wronged soul doesn't want to be reincarnated and stays there? What's so strange about that it's haunted?"

Chen Guozhong sighed:

"Reporter Yue is right!"

The message was clearly meant to convey that someone at Mingxin Hospital was monitoring medical staff and patients, but who would have thought that Le Huizhen would think that way?

It’s just that!

Actually, it's not surprising that Lok Wai-chun came to this conclusion. Superstition is rampant in Hong Kong, especially since the media openly promotes it.
Le Huizhen's eyes darted around, and she said to Wang Dao:
"Brother Dao, I want to do a program about Mingxin Hospital. Can you come with me?"

The king's way was silent:
"I'm not an expert in this field, how can I do a show with you?"

Le Huizhen whispered:

"I'm a girl, I'm timid, I need a man to protect me."

"No one is more suitable than you."

Wang Dao pointed to his own nose:
"I?"

Lok Wai-chun said matter-of-factly:
"As the saying goes, ghosts are afraid of evil people. You are a big brother in the martial arts world, a kung fu master, and most importantly, you are a virgin. No one has more yang energy than you."

"Even if we're unlucky enough to encounter a ghost, there's still room for maneuver."

"Right, right?"

Wang Dao nodded repeatedly:

"Yeah!"

Lok Wai-chun clapped her hands and said:

"So, you said yes?"

"Shall we set a time?"

How about tomorrow?

Wang Dao said irritably:

"Let's skip tomorrow and do it today."

Le Huizhen was pleasantly surprised:
"today?!"

"Then let's do it today. It's a deal, no backing out."

"I'll go make a phone call."

She actually left her seat to make a phone call.

Chen Guozhong looked at Wang Dao with a puzzled expression:

"Did you deliberately lead Le Huizhen to investigate Mingxin Hospital?"

Wang Dao nodded:
"Correct!"

Chen Guozhong said incredulously:
"Are you crazy?"

“You know perfectly well that Mingxin Hospital is Johnny’s base.”

"You still sent her to investigate that place?"

The Way of the King is slow and methodical:
“It’s not just her going, I’m going too, and you’re going too.”

Chen Guozhong said angrily:
"You know perfectly well what's going to happen tonight."

"Where would I find the time to go to that place?"

He was genuinely angry. Even if you're a virtuous man, you don't have to act like this when pursuing a girl.

Wang Dao is an undercover agent for the police station; he's a policeman!
Chen Guozhong was not a man who lacked romantic understanding; he was very adept at social interactions. If he had nothing else to do, he would not mind spending some time with the two of them.

That won't do now!

"Of course I know that someone set up a trap to kill Ni Kun tonight. I also know that Johnny Wang hired a private investigator and asked him to film the scene and give it to him."

"Most importantly, Johnny Wong demanded to receive the videotape that very night."

Chen Guozhong was stunned, looking at Wang Dao in disbelief:

"what do you mean?"

The Kingly Way, with its profound meaning, said:
"Mingxin Hospital has been haunted for a long time; it's time to get rid of this ghost!"

What do you think, Inspector Chan?

Chen Guozhong immediately fell into deep thought.

Just then, Yue Huizhen returned and exclaimed:
"Why isn't the atmosphere lively at this table without me?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I have good news for you. Inspector Chen has decided to come on an adventure with us."

Le Huizhen was overjoyed:
"Really, Officer Chen?"

Chen Guozhong came to his senses and said:
"Yes, but I have a mission tonight, so I might have to stay up a little later."

Le Huizhen chuckled:
"Later is better, later is better!"

"It's too early, the ghosts aren't coming out yet."

Chen Guozhong thought for a moment and said:
"Although this is an adventure, you have to listen to me."

Le Huizhen nodded repeatedly:
"Of course, since we're going to explore a hospital, we naturally need to be more disciplined."

Chen Guozhong breathed a slight sigh of relief:
"Okay, leave me your phone number, I'll contact you tonight!"

After leaving his phone number, Chen Guozhong stood up and said to the two men:
"Please enjoy your drinks. I have something to attend to at the police station, so I'll be leaving now."

Wang Daoshun stood up.

"Look at all these celebrities at our table, they all want to chat with you, and you're just leaving?"

Chen Guozhong sneered:

"And you're the one talking! You and Le Huizhen are practically glued to each other!"

Wang Dao simply pretended not to hear.

Chen Guozhong said softly:

"Wait for my message tonight."

Wang Dao shook his head:
“I’m waiting near the hospital with Le Huizhen. Just let me know when you arrive.”

Chen Guozhong exclaimed in surprise:

"Can you find me?"

Wang Dao laughed:

"You know, I'm always well-informed."

As he spoke, he marked Chen Guozhong on the mini-map—as long as it was within three kilometers, Wang Dao could know where he was.

The marker on the minimap is three kilometers.

Having grasped the power of benevolent rule, Chen Guozhong ceased his doubts.
"Okay, see you then."

Wang Dao returned to the hotel and took Le Huizhen to the head table to toast the big shots.

Young Kun turned to Sixth Uncle and said:
"Sixth Uncle, this reporter Yue is super popular. You know I work in film and television. If I need to borrow her to film a movie, can you let her go?"

Sixth Uncle asked jokingly:

Is it a serious movie?

Handsome Kun said seriously:
"I definitely won't film erotic movies!"

Uncle Liu immediately made the decision:

"I'll give Ah Zhen a break then, but it can't be too long, so as not to interfere with her work."

Lam Kwan nodded solemnly:

"no problem!"

Sixth Uncle followed suit and said:
"Ah Zhen, why don't you hurry up and toast the big shots sitting here?"

Le Huizhen was both surprised and delighted, never expecting to be able to appear at the head table.

It's pitiful that even though she was a popular host on TVB Jade, she only saw Uncle Six on the anniversary of the station's founding, and she never expected that Uncle Six would remember her name.

Le Huizhen was so excited she almost couldn't contain herself. Wang Dao nudged her from behind, bringing her back to her senses. She quickly toasted the big shots.

Their subtle actions naturally didn't escape everyone's notice, and the way the bigwigs looked at them changed.

Liang Kun looked extremely pleased, as if his own pig had finally learned to root for cabbages.

When Le Huizhen realized what was happening, she blushed deeply and instinctively pinched Wang Dao. His face contorted in embarrassment, but he didn't react because of the presence of all the big shots.

Le Huizhen was extremely pleased with herself.

Chen Guozhong drove back to the police station and found Chen Xinjian:
"Sir, I've made up my mind. We'll launch an attack on Mingxin Hospital tonight."

Chen Xinjian was taken aback:
"tonight?"

"Isn't this too rushed?"

Chen Guozhong had thorough discussions with Wang Dao beforehand, and now his thinking is complete:

"not late."

"Tonight is a golden opportunity; if we go to another time, we'll be at a disadvantage." Chen Xinjian frowned.
"why?"

Chen Guozhong explained:

"It's still the same question: should we choose the bigger one or the smaller one?"

"The Ni family cannot afford to fall now."

"Or rather, if it can't fall so quickly, then Johnny Wong must be eliminated."

“But Johnny Wang has leverage over Han Chen—Mary was deeply involved in the assassination of Ni Kun.”

"Johnny Wang has already sent a detective to film the assassination attempt on Ni Kun."

Chen Xinjian was taken aback:
"That detective is very well-informed."

Chen Guozhong nodded repeatedly:
"Yes."

"He also explicitly told the detective that he needed to get the videotape that night."

Chen Xinjian thought for a moment:

"Can't we allow people to interfere with the detective's filming?"

Chen Guozhong smiled wryly:

"useless."

“They have tapes of conversations between Huang Zhicheng and Mary in which they conspired to murder Ni Kun.”

"We're police officers; we need evidence to arrest people."

"Those gang members act based on their own conscience."

"There is absolutely no need for evidence."

"If they say you're wrong, then you're wrong."

"There's no denying it."

"At worst, it was just a case of killing the wrong person."

Chen Xinjian fell silent.

He'd completely forgotten about that!
That's right, that's indeed the case.

Chen Xinjian stood up and paced back and forth, checking and filling in any gaps in his understanding from various aspects:
"Tonight isn't a good time either."

"Once it's past 10 o'clock, the hospital is basically closed except for the emergency room and the operating room."

“If any outsiders enter, it will easily alert Johnny Wang.”

Chen Guozhong said earnestly:

"We can follow in the detective's footsteps."

"Alternatively, we can create a cover."

Chen Xinjian was even more puzzled:
"cover up?"

Chen Guozhong nodded:

"Of course, Lok Wai-chun of TVB Jade received news that a mysterious incident, suspected to be haunted, has occurred at Ming Sum Hospital!"

Chen Xinjian's eyes widened:

"What? Is that really true?"

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"Of course it's fake."

"But it's true that we went there to film."

Chen Xinjian said sternly:

"Nonsense!"

"This is a matter for our police station. Why involve reporters?"

"Johnny Wong is ruthless; he doesn't care about reporters."

Chen Guozhong said earnestly:

"I will protect reporter Lok Wai-chun."

Chen Xinjian shook his head:

“Johnny Wang is a vicious gang of thugs, and he won’t go easy on her just because of Lok Wai-Ching’s identity.”

"Besides, bullets don't have eyes, how can they tell who's a cop and who's a passerby?"

Chen Guozhong explained:

"It's just a gimmick."

"We won't arouse Johnny's suspicion."

Chen Xinjian questioned:

"Any stranger entering would arouse their suspicion, so why do you think you're an exception?"

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"We will notify the hospital in advance."

what? !

Chen Xinjian's mouth gaped open; he suddenly realized:

"Are you trying to deceive us?"

Chen Guozhong nodded:

"Actually, all TV programs are like this. They claim to be exploring secrets and using hidden cameras, but aren't they all staged in cooperation with the parties involved?"

"Besides, that's not just any place, that's a hospital!"

"What if we don't notify them in advance and startle the medical staff? What if we startle the patients?"

"Of course, we need to notify you in advance."

Chen Xinjian savored the words carefully, then suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed:
"Wonderful!"

"In this way, it's ostensibly about filming a program, which puts Johnny Wang at ease, and his attention is entirely focused on Ni Kun."

"When filming, we will definitely go to the place with the heaviest yin energy—the morgue."

“Under normal circumstances, if someone went there, it would definitely attract attention, but now that there's been a notification, Johnny Wang naturally won't suspect anything!”

"This is our chance!"

Chen Guozhong nodded firmly:
"That's right!"

Chen Xinjian paced back and forth excitedly, then suddenly stopped and asked:
"There's another problem: if there are too many people, Johnny Wang will still become suspicious."

Chen Guozhong naturally had a response:

"I won't be bringing a lot of people with me tonight."

Chen Xinjian asked:
"Are you sure?"

Chen Guozhong believes in the way of the king:
"Have!"

Chen Xinjian patted his shoulder heavily:

"That's OK!"

"Remember, always act within your capabilities. You can't catch all the criminals, so preserving yourself is the most important thing."

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of it."

Chen Xinjian breathed a sigh of relief:
"You've always been reliable in your work. I'm looking forward to your good news as you return safely."

Chen Guozhong nodded firmly.

Chen Xinjian was very excited:
"Taking down Johnny Wang has finally given our police station some pride."

"Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Chen Guozhong was about to turn around when he heard this and froze:
"What is it, sir?"

Chen Xinjian took a large envelope from the drawer and tossed it to Chen Guozhong:

“We swiftly took down the doctor gang of thugs, and the higher-ups were very pleased. They settled all our police station's expenses, including the informant fees you've been applying for.”

"Your informant's intelligence is really accurate!"

"The doctor's intelligence is 100% accurate!"

"We can't shortchange them on intelligence fees when they risk their lives to obtain this information."

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:
"Of course not."

"Actually, he also provided the intelligence on Huang Zhicheng and Liu Jianming."

This time, Philip Chan couldn't sit still any longer:

"Is this person really that powerful?"

Chen Guozhong smiled wryly:

"I didn't expect that either."

Chen Xinjian thought for a moment and said:
"This person is too important; we must not let the gang know of his existence."

"Is he one of our police officers?"

Chen Guozhong hesitated for a moment, then nodded:

"Yes!"

"I sent in an undercover agent from the gang."

Chen Xinjian made the decision:

“Withdraw his information from our police station’s files.”

"Keep it yourself."

"You absolutely cannot let a second person know."

"Unless something unexpected happens to you, I won't even be able to tell him his information!"

Chen Guozhong stared at Chen Xinjian in astonishment:
"Sir, is this necessary?"

At this moment, Chen Guozhong was shocked.

Chen Xinjian's handling of the situation seems so much like the demands of a benevolent ruler.

That guy made a request during our first meeting—he was willing to go undercover, but the information had to be removed from the police station's database, and a backup had to be placed with Principal Lu in Wong Chuk Hang.

Chen Xinjian's opinion was more radical than Wang Dao's requirements. He didn't bother with any backups and only demanded that he control everything.

"Such intelligence personnel are geniuses."

"He alone is worth a large gang."

Chen Guozhong nodded deeply.

This is not an exaggeration; the effectiveness of the kingly way truly deserves such praise.

How many people are having a headache with the big stunts run by Tung Sing's Ah Ben and Hung Hing's Leung Kwan?
But Wang Dao, by sheer chance, pinpointed a crucial point and averted a major conflict without a trace.

Everyone thought it was Liang Kun's doing, but only Chen Guozhong knew that it was Wang Dao who was behind the scheme.

"The undercover guys are risking their lives to broadcast, we absolutely cannot hold them back in any way."

Chen Guozhong solemnly said:

"Sir, I understand."

Chen Xinjian sighed:
"But you must remind him to be careful."

"The undercover agent's identity is top secret. Apart from his direct superior, none of the other agents know his identity."

"In other words, our guys are very likely to think of him as a criminal."

"Don't sacrifice any more men."

Chen Guozhong's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Chen Xinjian in surprise. He could sense that Chen Xinjian's mood had been heavy with grief just moments before.

Chen Xinjian sighed:

"You don't think I didn't send any men out, do you?"

Chen Guozhong fell silent.

If you want to achieve something, you need to go undercover.

Judging from Chen Xinjian's tone, it's clear that the men he sent out earlier are in a bad situation!

Chen Guozhong saluted and then left.

After Chen Guozhong left, Chen Xinjian opened the drawer, took out a file folder, and opened it to find a vibrant face.

The man was wearing a uniform, and his face was full of determination.

He hesitated for a long time, then took out a lighter and shakily lit the file. Instantly, tears welled up in his eyes.
