I Am King

"Here is 200,000. I need to know Ni Yongxiao's whereabouts these past few days."

After having a meal with Sha Biao, Wang Jianjun returned to his own tenement building and immediately summoned the people in charge of intelligence gathering.

There were five people in total, all of whom were his former comrades-in-arms. None of them wanted to live a life of fighting and killing, so Qin Feng arranged for them to work at the barbecued pork shop, and in their spare time, they were responsible for collecting intelligence and leading teams... to collect corpses.

"No problem, Company Commander, give us two days."

The oldest of the five, a man in his thirties, spoke up.

"Okay, take the money. Let me know as soon as you have the news."

"Understood, Company Commander."

After saying that, the middle-aged man took the money and left the brothel with the other four people.

After the five people left, Wang Jianjun called down all the people living upstairs. As usual, it was a contest of skills, and whoever was better would go up.

Just as Wang Jianjun began his operation, Ni Yongxiao, Jiang Tiansheng, and Xu Huaqiang also started their operation.

Ni Yongxiao arranged for people to investigate the whereabouts of Fusheng, Sha Biao, Lü Qing, and several of Qin Feng's direct subordinates, while Xu Huaqiang and Jiang Tiansheng arranged for people to investigate the whereabouts of the remaining leaders of Dongxing.

Both sides wanted to take advantage of the turmoil in Hong Kong's underworld to fish in troubled waters.

Meanwhile, the gunmen who had been sent to assassinate Jiang Tiansheng and Xu Huaqiang, after failing, were also plotting their next assassination attempt.

It was precisely under these circumstances of mutual scheming that the underworld of Hong Kong Island strangely returned to a rare period of peace. Even the Heng Kee gang, whose leader had been killed, as well as the Hung Hing Society, the Chaozhou Gang, and other gangs, all calmed down under these circumstances. Apart from occasional small-scale internal conflicts, large-scale shootouts never occurred again.

...............

In Ma Jun's office at the West Kowloon Police Station, Ma Jun stared at his team members with a serious expression and asked them a question.

"What's the situation outside now?"

"Have those gangs made any moves?"

“Without Ma Sir, my men have been keeping an eye on Tung Sing’s territory. Tung Sing is still the same as before, showing no signs of wanting to fight anyone.”

"It's the same on my end, the Hung Hing people are still the same as before..."

"Me too..."

Several group members spoke up one after another.

"What about the people from Heng Kee and Hung Hing Society...?"

"Their leader was assassinated, and they haven't done anything about it?"

Ma Jun frowned as he looked at the last member of the group.

"Yes, Yaowen of Hengji has taken over as the leader, and now Hengji's underlings are recruiting people everywhere, but apart from that, there's not much else going on."

"As for the Hung Hing Society and the Chaozhou Gang... the leaders of these societies are still vying for the top position and have no intention of avenging their old leader."

"...That shouldn't be the case...."

"Have the people in these clubs changed their ways?"

After listening to the report from his team members, Ma Jun's brows furrowed deeply. His intuition told him that something was wrong. Given the way Hong Kong triads operated, this matter couldn't possibly be resolved so easily.

But for a moment, Ma Jun couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Seeing that Ma Jun was silent, the oldest member of the team, who was also the first to speak, asked a question.

"Mr. Ma, what should we do now? Should the brothers still keep an eye on Tung Sing?"

The others also looked at Ma Jun, waiting for him to speak.

"Where is the madman, Long Live the Emperor?"

Instead of directly answering his subordinate's question, Ma Jun asked a question in return.

"A brother just sent me a message saying that Wan Sui Feng has returned to Blue Sky Nightclub..."

At this point, the team member paused for a moment before continuing, "...He also brought back a very beautiful woman. Judging from how Wansuifeng and that woman were together, this woman must be Wansuifeng's new girlfriend."

"…………." Ma Jun fell silent. Qin Feng was really thick-skinned. He had only been shot twice, and he was already going out to find a woman. Wasn't that bastard afraid that the woman was an assassin sent by someone else?

However, these were just thoughts. Ma Jun also knew that with Qin Feng's vigilance and skills, it would be almost impossible to assassinate him, otherwise he would have died at the police station entrance.

"...Tell the brothers to keep a close eye on those gangs for me...."

"I have a feeling this isn't going to be easy for us to get over!"

"Yes, Ma Sir."

Upon hearing this, the group spoke at the same time, then turned and left the office.

Soon, only Ma Jun remained in the office. He raised his hand to rub his temples and sighed softly, "Wansui Feng, what exactly are you trying to do?"
