Wong Wan-chiu snatched the chopsticks from Meng Wanqing's hand and slapped her across the face. "You slut! Are you an idiot?!"
This restaurant is a business invested in by Scribe Tan, the 14th advisor. If he brings a woman here and causes a bloodbath, even if the eldest brother of the Kowloon's Eighteen Tigers doesn't care, he will still owe him a favor. Scribe Tan is a sharp-minded person, and he might make him repay the favor double at any time.
It's best not to owe favors to older brothers like this casually.
"Leave your body to me, and give up your life yourself? Fine! I'll take care of you after I'm done!" Wong Wan-chiu dragged Meng Wanqing by the hair toward the smoking bed next to him. Just then, chaotic footsteps sounded outside. Before Wong Wan-chiu could react, the door to the private room was kicked open by Fish Ming!
When Yan Hung and his subordinate A Wai arrived outside the Kowloon City Police Station, they glanced at the neighboring Flower Arrangement Apartment and, finding everything calm, assumed that Cheung Wing-kam's men had already taken the woman to the station. So they went inside first. After visiting Chu Xiaoxin and making a phone call to his men, Cheung Wing-kam had already gone home to rest. As a Detective Chief Inspector, he certainly couldn't be on duty at the station at night, so the other officers on night duty were in the plainclothes room on the second floor.
"Where's the woman Brother Wing to say he gave me? Zheng?" Yan Hung pushed open the door to the plainclothes room and asked one of the plainclothes officers who was playing cards inside.
The guy Yan Hung called Zheng Ge, while tossing cards around without looking up, said, "That one at the Flower Arrangement Apartment? I asked around before, Rat Xiang said there was no one there, he left a long time ago. A-Hung, you should find another woman. Hey, that Mona from Rat Xiang's Brothel is pretty good, big breasts and fair skin, why don't you give her a try?"
"Brother Wing didn't tell you whose woman she is?" Yan Hung was taken aback, vaguely sensing that something was wrong. Could his luck be that bad? He'd finally managed to help with something as simple as picking up a woman, and yet this had gone wrong?
Zheng Ge said, "I answered the phone. Brother Wing told me to go to the Flower Arrangement Apartment next door and pick up a woman named Wanqing. Ah A-Hung, you can come and take her away later. He said he'd go home to let them know first, and then he'd rush back to the police station for his shift. But I really did send someone over to ask, Rat Xiang only said there was no woman named Wanqing. Even if Brother Wing comes back, that's all I can say. I can't just kick out all of Rat Xiang's customers and pick them up slowly, can I?"
"I'll fuck your mother!" Upon hearing this, Yan Hung broke out in a cold sweat. He turned to A Wai and said, "Go to the Flower Arrangement Apartment and find out where that woman is. I'll call Brother Wing's house!"
"I know, Brother Hung." A Wai turned and walked out.
Yan Hung strode towards the telephone on his desk, reached for it, and prepared to call Cheung Wing-kam's house.
"Why are you in such a hurry, A-Hung? You're looking for a woman, why bother? If one isn't available, just find another!" Zheng Ge couldn't help but say when he saw Yan Hung's anxious and flustered expression.
Yan Hung glared at Zheng Ge, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and roared, "Screw you! Me, looking for a woman? That's the woman that Justice of the Peace Chu Xiaoxin's trusted secretary has his eye on! If anything happens to her and ruins my plans, I'll kill Rat Xiang and your whole family before that guy kills me!"
Chapter 187 Give Me a Chance!
Yan Hung thought Cheung Wing-kam didn't take this Songstress named Wanqing seriously and was just being perfunctory. But in reality, when Cheung Wing-kam called his men at the Kowloon City Police Station, he deliberately made the whole thing vague. He only said that Yan Hung was going to pick up a woman named Wan Wanqing from the Flower Arrangement Apartment, but he didn't mention Chu Xiaoxin and Song Tianyao behind Yan Hung. If he had brought up Chu Xiaoxin's title Justice of the Peace, neither Rat Xiang nor Tan Changshan would have obediently handed over the woman.
Cheung Wing-kam, however, was secretly hoping that the woman would be held captive by Rat Xiang and not handed over. He pretended to be deaf and dumb at the banquet, but he heard very clearly what Song Tianyao said to Golden-Tooth Lei and Chu Xiaoxin. Those old Collaborator from Fuyixing had old grudges against Song Tianyao's family. Would Song Tianyao let this go so easily? He didn't even try to hide those words from an outsider like himself. He wondered if Song Tianyao was deliberately trying to get him involved.
Regardless of Song Tianyao's thoughts, he needed to make this a bigger scene, clarify his stance, and ease the awkward situation he had previously faced by siding with the Zhang Family and the Chu Family. He was merely offering assistance; if things escalated, Cheung Wing-kam, as a Kowloon District Detective Chief Inspector with the backing of the Sze Yap Gang, could use both the legitimate and criminal worlds Fuyixing his advantage. He wouldn't be afraid of Fu Fuyixing if the police raided their businesses and the gangs clashed with them. Moreover, Yan Hung was always at the forefront, ready to sacrifice himself. Besides, Chu Xiaoxin wouldn't stand idly by in the end. A Justice of Fuyixing Peace could easily arrange a chat with some Justice of the Peace and a few words with the Police Force Foreign Devil, making it a matter of deporting those old guys from Fuyixing.
So when Cheung Wing-kam's men heard that Yan Hung was bringing a woman, they just sent one of the Uniformed Branch to the Flower Arrangement Apartment to inquire. The Uniformed Branch didn't even get to see Rat Xiang's face before being stopped by Rat Xiang's men. They gave him two yuan and told him that there was no such woman, then sent the man in Uniformed Branch to drink some herbal tea.
However, when Yan Hung called Cheung Wing-kam's home, Cheung Wing-kam heard Yan Hung's tone and almost flew into a rage, slamming down the phone.
"Fuck your mother! These good-for-nothings! They even dare to shirk their responsibilities when I ask them to? I'm heading back right now. A-Hung, get Ah Ching and the other bastards to come over and listen to the phone!"
Yan Hung, his face dark, slammed the phone down on the plainclothes officer, who was bewildered by his earlier outburst. "Brother Wing on the phone!"
Ah Ching walked over and answered the phone, "Brother Wing?"
The others barely needed to get close enough to hear Cheung Wing-kam's roar on the phone, "You bunch of bastards! You can't even do what I told you to do? That woman was specifically requested by Mr. Chu, the Justice of the Peace! Are you trying to make room for me in Sha Tau Kok before I'm transferred?! I'll call the other police stations in Kowloon and have all the brothers do their jobs. Rat Xiang doesn't hand over the person, have the police sweep up all his territories within an hour! Beat him until he hands her over! If he dares to fight back, shoot him and treat him as resisting arrest!"
