Chen Zhongying released his grip, letting Li Caifa, with a dagger stuck in his chest, collapse to the ground, his body convulsing, his eyes still staring blankly at him.
"Mr. Choi Fat, the announcement will be made tomorrow, the 14K, that we will go to war with the He-prefix gangs to avenge you. Rest in peace. Your personality is really not suited for the martial arts world. You should learn from Mr. Du and be more low-key in your next life."
"Let's go." Seeing that Li Caifa had stopped breathing, Chen Zhongying turned around and walked towards his car. In the distance, the battle raged on, and no one noticed Chen Zhongying and the dead Li Caifa.
Meanwhile, on a speedboat near the dock, Song Tianyao, wearing a trench coat to ward off the dampness and night wind, coldly watched the two groups fighting on the shore, and said to his companion, Rotten-Life Ju, "Send a signal to Gao Lao Cheng."
Rotten-Life Ju turned on the searchlight on the speedboat and flashed it twice in the direction of the dock. He could vaguely see two figures on the dock pier, and immediately got up and ran towards the Customs warehouse.
Four or five minutes later, flames and thick black smoke shot into the Customs warehouse, illuminating almost half of the dock.
Even the two groups fighting on the field noticed the fire at the dock. Some even stopped and looked towards the warehouse, but before they could see clearly, they were struck by their opponents.
"Bang! Bang!" Several tear gas canisters were fired directly into the still-fighting crowd. Nearly two hundred Uniformed Branch and civilian police officers, led by Sergeant Britain Foreign Devil, suddenly surged out from all parts of the dock, fully armed, and slowly surrounded the unloading area, shouting repeatedly, "Put down your weapons!"
The two groups fighting each other reacted immediately upon seeing the police by fleeing into the darkness, leaving only the wounded and immobile to lie groaning and struggling amidst the tear gas.
Instead of giving chase, the police cordoned off the entire unloading area. A uniformed Britain Foreign Devil addressed the reporters who were following the story, saying, "The police will do everything in their power to find the leaders and organizers of the brawl. Besides the fight at the docks, we received intelligence from witnesses that a criminal organization planned to burn down the Customs warehouse tonight. Unfortunately, we're too late, but rest assured, we have concrete intelligence and have identified the mastermind behind it all."
Before Chen Zhongying's car could even leave the dock, it was stopped by Liang Pei and a dozen of his men. Liang Pei grinned sinisterly at Chen Zhongying's car and said, "Incense Master Chen, last night, right here, you made me lose face."
Chen Zhongying's heart sank. He rolled down the car window, ready to speak, but Liang Pei suddenly raised his gun and pulled the trigger, pointing it at Chen Zhongying's head!
With a loud "bang!", a bullet hole appeared in Chen Zhongying's forehead, and his head tilted back!
The other plainclothes officers also opened fire, killing Chen Zhongying's other men in the car without hesitation.
Liang Pei put away his gun and spat on the ground. "If Heizai Jie hadn't told me that 14K had secretly joined forces with the He-prefix gangs to launch a sneak attack on the Green Gang from behind, I wouldn't have dared to kill you. Now, I'll pin your death on the Green Gang. Go get a few men and take the guns from Li Caifa's bodyguards and fire a few shots at them."
Chapter 170 Cooperation
"Has Cheung Wing-kam found out where Lao Si is? I handed him over to him for questioning, and now he's telling me he was taken away by other cops in his territory?" Zhang Yujie said through gritted teeth in the living room, "And we can't find out even a single clue? Are the Shanghai people planning to protect Lao Si?"
Zhang Yuqi was making a phone call in a corner. After hanging up, he looked at Zhang Yujie and said, "We've found out. It was the Hong Kong Police Force Political Department who took Yuliang away."
"The Political Department? Even Cheung Wing-kam, Detective Chief Inspector from Kowloon District, can't find anything?" Zhang Yujie said, "Whether they can find anything or not, why did those cops suddenly take Yuliang away?"
Zhang Yuqi shook his head. "It's difficult to bribe the Political Department. They can't find anything. The only possibility is that the Britain ordered them to take Yuliang away."
"Difficult? I've been in business for so long and have seen many difficulties. No matter how difficult, as long as you have money, you can open a door. Just take 100,000 yuan to this damn China cop in the Political Department and buy some information." Zhang Yujie looked at Zhang Yuqi and said.
Originally, after Zhang Yuliang was brought to meet his mother, the Zhang Family handed him over to Cheung Wing-kam to be taken to the Police Force. After all, they needed Zhang Yuliang to come back two days later to confess to the crime of having some expired or counterfeit medicine among the goods seized from the Zhang Family, in order to appease Customs. Therefore, Cheung Wing-kam and Cai Jianxiong personally took Zhang Yuliang to the police station to make a statement. Regardless of whether he confessed or not, they took his registration photo first, and then the other members of the Zhang Family would identify him to confirm that Zhang Yuliang was the main person in charge of the whole matter.
However, not long after Cheung Wing-kam and Cai Jianxiong brought Zhang Yuliang into the police station, four unfamiliar plainclothes officers appeared, accompanied by the Britain Foreign Devil in charge. The Foreign Devil asked Cheung Wing-kam to hand Zhang Yuliang over to these four plainclothes officers.
Cheung Wing-kam dared not refuse his Britain superior, so he could only wink at Cai Jianxiong, signaling them to go outside the police station and find out the truth. Cai Jianxiong and two of his men went outside the station to keep an eye on where the other side was taking Zhang Yuliang, but before they could even take any action, two of the four plainclothes officers pointed guns at their heads and told them to get lost.
Cai Jianxiong dared not act rashly and try to snatch the person from the police. He could only let the other party take Zhang Yuliang into the car and leave. When he returned and asked Cheung Wing-kam about the other party's identity, Cheung Wing-kam could not explain it either.
Just now, Zhang Yuqi found out that it was the Police Force Political Department that took Zhang Yuliang away.
"There are only about thirty China person officers in the Political Department, all of whom are pure and upright, unwilling to embezzle or accept bribes, and determined to escape the corrupt and lawless Police Force. Cheung Wing-kam was also asked to transfer to the Political Department by the Hong Kong Police Force in 1947, but he ultimately chose to spend Hong Kong dollars 200,000 to fail the background check and keep his Detective Chief Inspector position." Zhang Yuqi explained the concept of the Political Department to Zhang Yujie: "And right now, all we know is that Yuliang was taken away by the Political Department people probably on the orders of the Britain, but we can't find out why the Britain took him away at all."
"It must be the Shanghai people trying to protect Yuliang. Fine, if he doesn't show up in two days, then let his wife confess. At most, we can bail her out after she confesses, so she won't have to go to Xiaogan Prison alone." Zhang Yujie said, holding a cigar in his hand.
