Hong Kong variety show: My handsome son, Kwan, is a master at making money in Hung Hing.

"Call me."

Chen Guozhong dared not underestimate him. Those words were like hitting a nerve. He could only put down everything he was doing and answer the phone: "Handsome Tai, this is Chen Guozhong, the leader of the anti-triad team."

But when Qin Tai spoke, Chen Guozhong was so shocked that he almost stumbled and fell into an abyss.

"Team Leader Chen, you should thank me for calling in time. Otherwise, if word got out that we had fabricated evidence to frame a gangster, the entire police force would have lost face."

Chen Guozhong broke out in a cold sweat, forcibly suppressing his shock. How could he deny such a thing? So he braced himself and said, "I don't understand what you're saying! What forged materials?"

To be honest, if this thought hadn't just come to him, he would have even suspected that his loyal brothers had betrayed him!

Chen Guozhong's reaction was exactly what Qin Tai had expected. He continued, "Hehe, let's not beat around the bush. If I'm not mistaken, aren't you anti-gangsters busy editing videotapes right now, preparing to accuse Wang Bao of premeditated murder?"

"I'm quite curious, if this backup videotape were brought out for comparison in court, the judge and your chief's expressions would be quite interesting, wouldn't they?"

Chen Guozhong nearly lost his footing. He took a deep breath and asked coldly, "Handsome Tai, what do you mean? Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat at all; it's simply cooperation, mutual benefit, and win-win cooperation!"

Qin Tai found a comfortable angle to lean against the bed, his voice sounding very lazy. Compared to Chen Guozhong's hard work day and night, Qin Tai's life was much more decadent. Last night, he had just helped Elizabeth and her four daughters with a group graduation ceremony, and he almost broke his back.

Chen Guozhong laughed angrily: "Cooperation? I'm a soldier, you're a thief, we're not on the same side at all."

"As long as we share the same goal, does it matter if we're on the same path?" Qin Tai said incisively. "You want Wang Bao to be brought to justice, and I want Wang Bao's territory. That's the basis for our cooperation!"

"I will never cooperate with gangsters!" Chen Guozhong refused resolutely, declaring with righteous indignation, "None of you gangsters are any good!"

Qin Tai wasn't angry. He calmly said, "Sir, your statement is purely biased. Everyone knows that I, Handsome Tai, have always been a patriotic citizen who cares about women and children. When I see injustice or witness illegal or criminal acts, shouldn't I bravely report them and use the law to punish the bad guys?"

"I happen to have a lot of irrefutable evidence of Wang Bao's drug trafficking and smuggling. I guarantee that once Wang Bao goes to court, even if he hires all the lawyers in Hong Kong, he will never be able to get away with it!"

The last sentence completely moved Chen Guozhong, making his mouth go dry and a thought pop into his head: if it was really as handsome Tai said, and the cooperation was mutually beneficial, perhaps the chances of killing Wang Bao would be even greater.

At first, his strategy of framing Wang Bao was just a flash of inspiration; he wasn't entirely confident he could kill Wang Bao, at most imprisoning him for ten or twenty years.

“No cooperation is needed. I can take Wang Bao to court on my own!” Chen Guozhong was silent for a while. Although he was tempted, he deliberately refused, trying to get information out of him. “Since you are eyeing Wang Bao’s territory, I don’t believe you will help him.”

Qin Tai scoffed: "Send Wang Bao to court, huh? Just to go through the motions and boost your WeChat steps? With your mediocre editing skills? Even if I had the original backup, and even if you had the only video evidence, you still couldn't get Wang Bao!"

"I know what you're planning. Isn't it just to kill the red-clothed assassin, then buy a gun on the black market, replace the bullets with the evidence, and continue to fabricate evidence?"

"But what you don't know is that every move of the black market for guns in Kowloon is under Wang Bao's control. If your people dare to make contact, they will definitely not return. At that time, Wang Bao will also know your plans, and the relationship between prey and hunter will be completely reversed."

Chen Guozhong was instantly struck dumb, his eyes widening in disbelief, his face filled with shock.

This handsome guy, Tai, actually guessed his every move with perfect accuracy, and even knew the hidden dangers involved!

Although he didn't understand what "Weixin Steps" meant, Chen Guozhong no longer dared to underestimate Qin Tai.

As he said, framing Wang Bao with video editing alone is not enough. Killing the red-clothed assassin is easy, but procuring black guns and bullets on the black market is a big problem. How to bypass Wang Bao's influence is something that they, with their limited skills, cannot do!

It seems that we'll have to rely on the influence of the underworld to get this done!

Chen Guozhong was very tempted, but his pride as a commander of the 0th Division made him unwilling to be led by the nose by mere gangsters. He arrogantly said, looking down at them, "How do you expect me to believe in your sincerity? Unless you hand over the backup right now and arrange the black guns, I will consider cooperating with you. Wang Bao's territorial planning..."

"Chen Guozhong, am I being too gentle? Who gave you the wrong impression that you can talk to me like that?" Qin Tai sneered. "If it weren't for the fact that you have terminal cancer and are about to die, I would have reluctantly given you some end-of-life care. Don't push your luck!"

"What?! You....."

Chen Guozhong was shocked. He had never mentioned his illness to anyone except Ah Hua. How could Handsome Tai know so much about it?

Qin Tai continued his tirade, berating Qin Tai relentlessly: "What right do you have to bargain with me! Don't you have any idea where the dirty money in your subordinate Ah Le's trunk came from?"

"Believe it or not, I can report you to Director Huang with just one phone call, and you'll be in deep trouble! You'll be sent to Stanley for further training in no time, believe it or not? You still dare to act arrogantly like the head of the anti-triad unit when you're in charge of the 1.5? You're not worthy!"

"You really think we can't do without you? There are plenty of cops who want Wang Bao as a stepping stone, we don't need another blind dog like you!"

Qin Tai unleashed a torrent of curses, but Chen Guozhong dared not utter a word in rebuttal, enduring the barrage of insults like a subservient grandson. Cold sweat poured down his forehead as he listened, utterly horrified...

Handsome Tai, is this guy a devil?

How could he know so much about how Ah Le, Ah Hua, and others collectively received bribes from Wang Bao to support their daughters?

If Qin Tai really reports them, then the entire anti-gang squad will be kicked out and have to go to Stanley for further training!

Qin Tai was speechless. Whether it was Chen Guozhong or Li Jinfu, they were all the same. They were the type to be treated like a sick cat if they didn't show their power, and they would only behave if they were scolded.

I originally wanted to get along with you as a good citizen, but instead I was met with estrangement and exclusion. Fine, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm coming clean, I'm a gangster boss!

Chen Guozhong dared not be arrogant anymore, and lowered his voice in a very humble manner: "Handsome Tai... no, Brother Tai, I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now, please don't mind, I... agree to cooperate!"

Realizing that he had no advantages whatsoever and that his weaknesses were being exploited, Chen Guozhong had no choice but to set aside his pride and humbly agree to cooperate, even ignoring the doubts and strange looks from his subordinates.

"That's more like it! Getting rid of Wang Bao is good for both of us."

Qin Tai spoke calmly, but his temper was still raging. He gave Elizabeth, who had just woken up, an annoyed look, and the latter blinked her playful eyes and obediently acted as a human fire extinguisher.
