Chapter 7: Gotham of the East
"Before my mother died, she told me to follow the right path and become a police officer."
"My career and future are in the police force, not in the community."
After Nima's return to Hong Kong Island in '97, you community bosses were like lost dogs, overwhelmed by the state apparatus.
Let me be in the dark at this time? Isn't it the same as joining the army in 49, with a bad brain......
To paraphrase an old saying - don't look at dancing happily now, you're afraid of pulling the list in the future.
Although Hong Kong Island is now rampant with associations and robbers, smuggling, drug trafficking, gambling, and prostitution...... It seems to be the golden age of the community!
But that's because of the deliberate connivance of the ghost government.
Anyway, as long as they make money, they don't care if Hong Kong Island is chaotic or not.
After all, they can't manage it for a few years, and who will spend money and energy to decorate a house whose rent is about to expire.
In this world, the rarest thing is the sobriety when the fire is cooking oil and flowers are brocade
And Chen Yongren, as a traverser, is very sober.
He clearly knew that after Hong Kong Island returned to the motherland in '97, Hong Kong Island's social organizations and bandits, large and small, all went downhill.
When a large country with a population of more than one billion people gets serious, any black power will be dealt a crushing blow.
Mixed clubs, there is no future!
And being a police officer is different.
The police are a kind of civil servants who are violent law enforcement agencies of the state.
Moreover, compared with the mainland police, the Hong Kong Island police have better salaries, better salaries, and higher status.
You must know that on Hong Kong Island before the handover, the garrison of the British Empire was the same as a sieve, and it was the same as if it was there or not.
Therefore, the supreme head of the police, the Commissioner of Police, is equivalent to the Minister of National Defense on Hong Kong Island plus the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armed Services plus the first brother of the police community.
Even the license plate is a separate "1", which shows its great power and high status.
Starting from a police academy student, through his own hard work, step by step, climbing to the position of "first brother" seems to be quite emotional.
If you're lucky, the feudal official, the chief executive of Hong Kong Island, it's not impossible to fight for it!
What's more, being a police officer is equivalent to having a legal murder license, which is more conducive to obtaining soul fragments.
And Hong Kong Island in this movie world has the reputation of "Oriental Gotham"!
Here, will there be fewer soul fragments?
So, Chen Yongren persuaded Ni Yongxiao instead:
"Ah Xiao, Mr. Ni has a saying, if you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. So eggs can't be put in one basket. Do you know how many families Zhuge Liang had during the Three Kingdoms period? ”
Ni Yongxiao's face changed slightly, thoughtful.
"Three!"
"Zhuge Liang is in Shu, his eldest brother Zhuge Jin is in Eastern Wu, and his cousin Zhuge was born in Wei, so in the end, no matter who is in power in the three families, the Zhuge family is invincible!"
"And the Ni family should be the same."
"Ah Xiao, the underworld now has you, and the white road will have me after the white road, we brothers, our feet span the black and white roads, there are political and business worlds, no matter how the situation changes in the future, we will be invincible!"
After listening to Chen Yongren's words, Ni Yongxiao was silent for a long time.
In the end, he decided to wait and see for the time being.
His younger brother had only been in contact once before when his mother died, and the brothers didn't know much about each other. But I didn't expect him to be so confident.......
Moreover, the ditch is not generally deep.
The death of his father Ni Kun this time made him look at this younger brother with admiration, and even had the idea of being ashamed of himself and ashamed.
He even suspected that Han Chen might not be the backhand left by his father, but this younger brother was!
So he decided to wait and see how far and how long this younger brother could go on the road of the police force in Pak Road.
Anyway, everyone is still young now, and there is time for trial and error, isn't it?
So, he changed the topic and said, "By the way, Ah Ren, you didn't let Luo Ji in just now, is there a problem with him?" ”
"Not bad." Chen Yongren admitted directly.
"He is an undercover agent of Senior Inspector Luk Kai-cheong of the Crime Unit of the Kowloon West Regional Police Headquarters, and he was specially sent to monitor our Ni family."
"Damn, take his mother!"
Hearing this, even if he was as gentle as Ni Yongxiao, he couldn't help but burst into foul mouths, and the cigarette case he had just picked up in his hand was crumpled into a ball by him with excitement.
It can be seen how much he trusts Luo Ji.
The more trust you have, the greater the blow you will be if you are backstabbed.
But Ni Yongxiao deserves to be a hero.
Although he is still very immature, he is already able to look at problems very calmly and will not be controlled by his negative emotions at will.
After thinking for a while, he slowly let go of the cigarette case in his hand and said, "That's fine, since Luo Ji has been exposed to the light, then we can operate better." ”
Chen Yongren is also a well-informed person, so he naturally understands Ni Yongxiao's thoughts.
It's nothing more than guiding the police through undercover agents, giving some false information or information that is beneficial to them, excluding dissidents, and killing people with knives.
But Chen Yongren wanted more.
I only heard him ask: "Ah Xiao, are you holding some of the four major leaders in your hands?" Want to force them to comply? ”
Ni Yongxiao was stunned for a moment, looking at this wise and almost demonic younger brother, he was also a little scared for a while.
"How do you know?"
"Is that there?"
Ni Yongxiao nodded: "There are some, they are all threads buried by my father before his death, and they have just been collected into my hands through Han Chen." ”
Chen Yongren said seriously: "Ah Xiao, do you know what Mr. Ni is doing when he delegates part of his power to the four halls? ”
"Why?"
"Of course, it's for whitewashing, don't you want to whitewash? Don't you want the Ni family to raise their heads up, straighten their waists, and behave openly? ”
Chen Yongren said categorically.
In the movie, Ni Yongxiao has always wanted to wash his name in the later stage.
But at that time, he was actually deeply involved in it, and he couldn't wash it away.
The mainland side and the police force top brass will definitely not allow him to wash his name.
But now is the best time to launder your name.
"Ah Xiao, you were just an accountant before, and you just returned to China not long ago, and you have never had a criminal record in the police force, nor have you been in contact with the specific business of the association, and you have never been involved in pornography, gambling and drugs."
"And now, if you take over from Mr. Ni and become the speaker of Tsim Sha Tsui, you will inevitably touch these things, but this kind of thing, just like taking drugs, will be completely destroyed as soon as you get it, and it is not something that you can wash off if you want to."
"But if you release the news directly now and make a complete cut with the four halls, then the situation is different."
"The business of the four halls used to pay seventy percent of the tribute to the Ni family, which is already a very high proportion on Hong Kong Island. And now if you let them go out independently, they will suddenly gain momentum, and they will definitely have to make more money, and the number of followers will at least double...... Without the Ni family in the town, this Tsim Sha Tsui will be in chaos. ”
