If you want to be a good person, find Huadi

Liu Yi now understood the plot of "The Disciple." The film doesn't explain Lin Kun's background; he's already a major drug lord from the start, and his previous story isn't shown. Without Liu Yi's intrusion, Lin Kun would have ultimately agreed to Ma Chao's request for the sake of his wife and children. Ma Chao would then have killed the fourth brother, only to be hacked to death by Ah Hao. This would have allowed Lin Kun to successfully take over the entire drug network, gaining the support of the Yiqun gang and ultimately becoming one of Hong Kong's leading drug lords. Liu Yi assigned He Shangsheng to continue watching over the situation, and then he went to the drug rehabilitation center to consult with Ah Hao. After all, he had no subordinates, and whether it was to rescue someone or anything else, Ah Hao would have needed to send someone. Whether to save the fourth brother depended on Ah Hao's decision. Even if Ah Hao decided to save the fourth brother, Liu Yi decided to give He Shangsheng a chance to make a contribution afterwards.

After Liu Yi arrived at the drug rehabilitation center and told Ah Hao everything, Ah Hao sighed and said, "I didn't expect Fourth Brother to be the biggest drug lord." "I think if you hadn't come to rehab, your Fourth Brother would probably have killed Ma Chao, helped you take his place, and then sold his drugs for him. He would still be the highly respected Fourth Brother in the underworld. If anything went wrong with you, he would have handed you over to the police and helped him find someone else." Liu Yi also told Ah Hao his suspicions. "You decide what to do. After all, Fourth Brother has done me a favor. If it weren't for Fourth Brother, I would have probably died with Ma Chao." Ah Hao's words still implied that he wanted to protect Fourth Brother. "Then give me all your people. I will save Fourth Brother and Lin Kun and the others when Ma Chao makes his move." Liu Yi made a decision.

Just as Liu Yi and Ah Hao were conferring, He Shangsheng's superiors announced their decision. He Shangsheng, enraged, kicked a trash can in front of him. The order was to continue following Ma Chao and wait for him to make a move, capturing him on the spot. That was all. Just like before, there was no plan, and everything depended on He Shangsheng's improvisation. The previous two times, He Shangsheng had nearly died due to a lack of support, and it was the same this time. He was destined to be annihilated by that bastard Huang Qifa sooner or later. But that was the state of the Hong Kong police force right now. Middle and senior management were either timid and irresponsible, or newly promoted university graduates with no grassroots experience who could only boast about their tactics. The truly capable, responsible, and experienced officers were either gone, still in the slums, or already dead. After all, after the 1970s, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) still had a significant destructive effect on the police force, making it a hotbed of corruption. This would only change with the promotion of capable and experienced officers like He Shangsheng.

Liu Yi brought Ah Hao's men to find He Shangsheng, handed everyone over to He Shangsheng, and told him to rescue Fourth Brother and Lin Kun's family. He left without making any other arrangements. After all, it was Liu Yi's consistent principle to leave professional matters to professionals. He was not familiar with rescuing, tracking, and directing people to fight. Fortunately, He Shangsheng showed up, otherwise he would be worried about how to arrange these people. Well, there was another leader like this, and fortunately he was given the manpower. So He Shangsheng made arrangements. However, these gangsters were not well-trained police officers. Many of them knew nothing, so most of the work was done by He Shangsheng himself.

After Ma Chao returned to the nightclub that night, Lin Kun, according to Hua Di's instructions, played along with Ma Chao and agreed to Ma Chao's plan. To make the performance look realistic, Lin Kun even swore brotherhood with Ma Chao, which made Ma Chao very happy. However, the cunning Ma Chao still did not release Lin Kun and his family. He only brought Lin Kun's wife and daughter with him and kept them locked up, claiming that he would protect their safety and set them free after killing Si Ge and Ah Hao. In fact, Ma Chao had no intention of letting Lin Kun go, but now the supply of goods from the Golden Triangle still depended on Lin Kun.

As Ah Hao was recovering from his drug addiction, Liu Yi sent Xiao Hui to a hotel near the police station. Ma Chao had been unable to find them for some time, and so he didn't proceed with his next plan. Liu Yi, meanwhile, was mulling over how to deal with his fourth brother and Lin Kun. The father and son had been trafficking drugs for years, harming countless lives. If he saved them, they would undoubtedly continue their dealings. Furthermore, with the presence of his fourth brother, it would be difficult for Ah Hao to clean up his act. The best option was to send him to the kilns, and Lin Kun couldn't be allowed to remain in the prison system, or he would become the true drug lord of "The Disciple." It was a difficult situation. Although Liu Yi had traveled through time twice, he lacked a system and intelligence-enhancing drugs, so he struggled to think. Thinking at once was often the most challenging task. Fortunately, he had a magic weapon: He Shangsheng, an undercover police officer who could do many things. Finally, he came up with a plan and approached He Shangsheng to explain things.

That day, Ah Hao deliberately showed up at Ma Chao's territory, while Xiao Hui also returned home. Seeing Ah Hao finally show up, Ma Chao immediately arranged for his men to provoke him and send him away. He then led his men to Fourth Brother's home. Initially, his progress was smooth. Fourth Brother was completely unaware of the situation, so he had few people with him. Ma Chao easily dispatched Fourth Brother's bodyguards. As he tied up Fourth Brother and prepared to return to Ah Hao's home, He Shangsheng arrived with a large group of men. Because He Shangsheng was so well prepared, Ma Chao's men either fled or were defeated. Ma Chao then knelt before Fourth Brother, begging for mercy. Just as He Shangsheng was unsure what to do next, Liu Yi arrived, "Brother Hua, what should we do next?" Liu Yi ignored He Shangsheng and sent his men away. Once his men were gone, Liu Yi pretended to accidentally kick a knife next to Ma Chao, then pulled He Shangsheng aside and whispered something in his ear. Seeing that the situation was changing so quickly, Ma Chao immediately picked up a knife and tried to hold Fourth Brother hostage. Fourth Brother was also angry at this time, so he wrestled with Ma Chao. After all, Fourth Brother was old, so he was quickly subdued by Ma Chao and was stabbed several times. Ma Chao held Fourth Brother hostage with a knife and threatened Hua Di to let him go. "Why should I let you go? What does this old man Fourth Brother have to do with me? Otherwise, you kill him and I will avenge Fourth Brother?" Liu Yi said to Ma Chao with a smile. While Liu Yi was attracting Ma Chao's attention, He Shangsheng moved behind Ma Chao. What Liu Yi whispered to He Shangsheng just now was "He Sir, someone is kidnapping with the intention of killing people, aren't you going to arrest them?" He Shangsheng only then realized that he had been exposed long ago. Fortunately, Hua Di did not do anything to him.

He Shangsheng knocked Ma Chao down with a stick from behind. After the fourth brother was rescued, he thanked Huadi repeatedly. Liu Yi ignored him and asked He Shangsheng to take Ma Chao to the police station. He went to find Lin Kun. When Ma Chao led people to kidnap the fourth brother, Liu Yi had already arranged for people to rescue Lin Kun's family. "What are your plans next, brother Kun?" Liu Yi ignored the thanks from Lin Kun's family and asked directly. "Don't worry, brother Hua, you will get the goods at cost price in the future. I won't add a penny. If you are willing, let's do this business together." Lin Kun thought Huadi wanted to ask for benefits from him. "I suggest you go to He Shangsheng to surrender yourself, and report your father with the evidence of your drug trafficking." Liu Yi ignored Lin Kun's deliberate flattery. "Ah? I don't want to go to jail, brother Hua, is there no other way out?" No one wants to go to jail. "Don't worry, Hong Kong doesn't have the death penalty. Plus, since you turned yourself in and your report was meritorious, I'll find you a good lawyer, so you won't be sentenced to more than a few years. Besides, given your father's status in the underworld, you won't suffer in jail. This is your only way out. If you don't turn yourself in, He Shangsheng will take the initiative to arrest you, and then it won't be so easy to talk to. Think about it carefully. Drug trafficking is, after all, a heartless act. You did it before, whether you did it voluntarily or were forced to. Going to jail is atonement. After a few years, when you get out, you can tell your daughter that you are a good person with a clear conscience. You don't want your future children to introduce you to their friends and say that this is my dad and he is a big drug lord. I can only give you one night. He Shangsheng will come to see you tomorrow."
