Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

He Ning took out a search warrant, waved it in front of him, and said firmly:

"We will certainly look for evidence, but now we need to conduct a thorough search of your premises. I hope Mr. Lei can support our police work."

"Well, since Sir He insists so much, I, Lei Yaoyang, must give him face. But I want to ask, I should still have the right to hire a lawyer, right?"

"Of course, you have the right to have a lawyer present. However, until a lawyer arrives, you are still obligated to cooperate with our search."

"Sir He, look at what you said. I am a law-abiding citizen. How could I hinder the police from investigating a case? Come on."

Following He Ning's order, the police officers quickly and orderly launched the search, carefully checking every corner, from the office to the warehouse.

Lei Yaoyang sat leisurely aside, occasionally picking up the teacup on the table and gently blowing away the hot steam, not caring about anything.

How could he deliver seafood to the entertainment hall when the seafood smelled so fishy? He had always kept it in the warehouse on Cape Collinson Road.

Therefore, Lei Yaoyang was not at all panicked about Sir He's search team.

Seeing that there was no substantial gain after the search, He Ning frowned slightly. She always felt that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoli slowly walked to Sir He and asked tentatively in a low voice: "Boss, if Lei Yaoyang really hid the seafood here, the smell should be very strong."

He Ning's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she instantly realized that what she had overlooked was the smell. The smell of the entire entertainment hall did not contain any fishy smell.

No wonder Lei Yaoyang sat on the sofa calmly, not looking anxious at all. It turned out that they were searching in the wrong place.

The seafood smuggled to Hong Kong Island was not kept at the base camp at all, but somewhere else. After sorting out his thoughts, He Ning no longer worried about the cargo.

Instead, he strode up to Lei Yaoyang and made a gesture of invitation: "Next, we need you to go back to the police station with us to cooperate with the investigation. Please!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Lei Yaoyang's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

He straightened his clothes and said in a helpless yet somewhat provocative tone:

"Since Sir He has invited me so graciously, I, Lei Yaoyang, would be disrespectful to decline. However, I still want to reiterate that I am innocent. I guess someone must have made a false police report!"

"After all, there are many people in Hong Kong Island who have nothing better to do than to cause trouble for your police."

He Ning did not respond, but turned to look at the team members who were still rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, and shouted in unison: "Retreat!"

The police officers quickly cleaned up the scene and stopped the search. Although they were reluctant, they strictly followed the orders and left the entertainment hall in an orderly manner.

The next day, in the Marine Police Station, Director Luo Hanwen sat upright in his office chair, frowning as he looked at Senior Superintendent Lordi and loudly rebuked:

"You woke me up with a phone call in the early morning and told me there was a large smuggling case! Now you tell me that you worked all night and only brought back a broken ship. So I want to ask:"

"What's the point of you calling me in the early hours to wake me up? Don't you know that this is my rest time? Don't you know that I get grumpy when I wake up?"

As if he was a little angry, Luo Hanwen patted his smart head and said, "Look, look at my head. The reason why I am bald is because of you idiots."

Lordi quietly wiped the saliva from his face and responded softly:

"Sir, we did receive the tip-off. But the other party acted too quickly and professionally, and was also too good at swimming, which led to our failure."

"Also, if we want the Patrol to deviate from its fixed cruising orbit, we need your approval. Otherwise, we won't be able to successfully seize the other party's ship."

"Then don't you know to dispatch other ships from the police station to intercept them?" Director Luo Hanwen immediately responded to Lordi's words and asked.

Lordi opened his mouth to respond, but remained silent. This was because he was eager to gain more merit before the change of leadership.

That's why he ignored the advice of his subordinates and insisted on calling the director repeatedly in the early hours of the morning, waking him up from his sleep, and not stopping until he got through to him.

It would have been fine if there was some gain, but the bad thing was that the Marine Police got nothing, while the Central Police Station brought back Dongxing Lei Yaoyang and accused him of being the mastermind behind the smuggling incident.

Although the Central Police Station did not find any concrete evidence, it was definitely more impressive than the Marine Police who only brought back an empty fishing boat.

Seeing that his subordinates could not come up with any words of rebuttal, Director Luo Hanwen instantly suppressed his anger, and the anger in his tone suddenly disappeared, turning into calm.

"Okay, it's just a smuggling case. Our Marine Police Station doesn't encounter it a hundred times a year, but we can catch dozens of people. I don't blame you."

"But I hope that the next time you call me, it will be at the right time, at the right place, and when you are facing something that is almost certain to happen. Do you hear me?"

Lordi nodded quickly. "Yes, sir. Next time I will be careful and make sure everything goes well before reporting to you during working hours."

Seeing that his subordinate understood what he meant, Luo Hanwen nodded slightly and waved his hand to indicate that Lordi could leave.

After Lordi left the office, he sat alone at his desk, staring at the phone on the table with constantly shifting eyes, as if weighing something.

After a moment, Luo Hanwen's eyes suddenly became firm. He grabbed the phone and dialed the number he remembered.

After get off work, Luo Hanwen walked out of the Water Police Station and into the cafe opposite, choosing a seat by the window.

After ordering a latte, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Luo Hanwen pretended to wear a bag and quietly took a piece of colored paper from under the seat in his hand.

He slowly opened it, quickly glanced at the string of numbers on it, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. Then he slowly put it in his pocket.

He lowered his head as if nothing had happened, enjoying the bitterness of the latte, the aroma of the milk and the light taste of the milk foam.

……

In Dongsheng Building, Liu Xu paid Scorpion Tail the operating expenses for this month and the last two months of the intelligence team in one lump sum. He felt it was troublesome to pay it once a month.

Of course, Scorpion Tail needs to give a detailed list of how and where to use the money. It doesn't mean that after giving the money, Scorpion Tail can use it as he pleases.

If it is used in an unreasonable way, no matter how much Liu Xu trusts him, he will be punished.

As for taking the money and running away, Liu Xu was not worried at all. First, he believed in his judgment, and second, Scorpion Tail's entire family was in Hong Kong Island, including his parents, sister, brother, and all his friends.

Following Scorpion Tail's voice as he left the office, Liu Xu took the latest intelligence, and what was engraved on his head was about De Yixing's actions after Wan Guanghai's death.

The boss died, or was shot naked in the street, whether it was to avenge the leader of Deyixing or to restore the lost face of Deyixing.

Logically speaking, the remaining hall masters should fight against Dongxing. Even if they don't kill a few hall masters, at least they should show their attitude.

However, the actual situation was quite different from what Liu Xu had imagined.

The first thing the remaining hall masters did was to contact Johnny Wang, the largest arms dealer in Hong Kong, and purchase a batch of long and short weapons from him.

Afterwards, the three hall masters went back to their base camp and had a small gathering at the night dance hall.

Scorpion Tail did not discover the specific content of the communication between the three people, but after the three people separated, they began to contact people from the other three major societies in Hong Kong Island except Dongxing.
