Wong Chi-shing frowned, "I'm a police officer, why would I eat with a triad member like you!?"
"Because I have what you want most. One hour later, be there or be square." With that, Wang Xuan didn't give Wong Chi-shing a chance to refuse and ended the call.
Listening to the dial tone from the phone, Wong Chi-shing dejectedly hung up.
"Boss, should we keep the recording?"
"Forget it, destroy it. It's useless! This guy is too cunning!" He was sure Wang Xuan had deliberately steered the conversation toward the handover issue. Now, this topic was incredibly effective, instantly shutting down any further discussion.
Can't you consider 'Heaven's' feelings!
Waving his hand to dismiss the officer reporting on work, Wong Chi-shing sat in his chair, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag. Watching the smoke curl upwards, he fell into thought.
Go?
Or not go?
In his plan, this kind of matter should have been initiated by the police, who would then offer Wang Xuan some benefits. That was the original intention when he agreed. But now, the situation seemed completely different from what he had imagined!
He said he had what I wanted most, what could it be?
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. He crushed the cigarette butt fiercely in the ashtray. However... for a mere Superintendent to meet with a thug, he still needed to maintain some dignity.
After dawdling at the police station for a while, Wong Chi-shing put on a jacket and walked out.
Sitting at Fu Kee Restaurant, a group of subordinates were stationed at the entrance. Caution is the parent of safety. If Viper were to have a sudden impulse and act recklessly, he wouldn't be too passive.
As the time drew near, Wang Xuan's brows furrowed slightly. Was this guy not coming?
Wait another ten minutes. If he doesn't come, forget it.
Ten minutes passed, and Wang Xuan stood up to go downstairs. If Wong Chi-shing wasn't willing to cooperate, he could find someone else. Finding a three-legged toad might be difficult, but two-legged police officers were everywhere.
Perhaps, he should cultivate his own 'Lau Kin-ming'!
"Screeeech..." A braking sound echoed. Wang Xuan looked towards the window and saw Wong Chi-shing getting out of the car.
Tsk, saying he doesn't want to, but his body is so honest. Why the need to be late? Does it make you seem nobler or something!
Listening to the thudding footsteps, Wong Chi-shing walked up to the second floor. Wang Xuan's face lacked any smile. He glanced at his watch, "Inspector Huang is 10 minutes late. Truly has the demeanor of the police force, always arriving exactly one second after everything has concluded."
Damn it!
Don't hit someone when they're down, don't bring up their shortcomings when scolding them.
The more he looked, the more he found Wang Xuan detestable.
I'm a police officer, and you're a triad member! Can you show me some basic respect!
Don't I have any pride!
Seeing Wong Chi-shing's displeased expression, Wang Xuan suddenly burst into laughter, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. I know you guys are busy. Come, come, sit down and talk. The food here is quite good."
Trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it, why bother being ten minutes late?
Since Wang Xuan offered a way down, he also wanted to know the specific information. He could only endure this matter. This damned thug was too petty.
He poured Wong Chi-shing a glass of beer. Both men downed it in one gulp, but the atmosphere at the table was far from warm.
Wang Xuan was too lazy to waste any more words and got straight to the point, "There's an underground casino belonging to Viper, spanning two floors with a total area of nearly a thousand square meters. I have a layout map of the entire place, including the front and back entrances."
The chopsticks in Wong Chi-shing's hand froze. He glanced at Wang Xuan with some surprise. Based on what was just said, this was no small casino. The amount of money involved must be huge. If they could successfully take it down, it would be a great achievement.
Putting down his chopsticks, Wong Chi-shing tried his best to appear indifferent, "You've got a good plan, using our police force to get revenge on Viper."
"You say that, but it's as if you don't need it. We're all old foxes, so let's not play games with each other."
Damn it!
Can't you just talk properly! Do you know the art of conversation? Don't you understand bargaining?
'Heaven' has been shut down by you again!
"What are your terms!" Wong Chi-shing's attitude also turned extremely hostile.
"Now that's more like it. Stop beating around the bush. I'm a rough person, I can't keep up with you social elites. Let's be simple and direct." Wang Xuan seemed very satisfied. The initiative in the negotiation must be in his hands. He picked up his wine glass and took a swig before calmly saying, "Conduct a large-scale raid on Viper's territory."
Wong Chi-shing's eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at Wang Xuan, pondering Wang Xuan's true intentions. Was it simply revenge on Viper? It shouldn't be that simple!
This person appears reckless, impulsive, violent, and perverted, acting without thinking. But after two encounters, with his years of experience in handling cases and his understanding of triad members, this Wang Xuan was definitely hiding something deep.
He picked up his wine glass and downed it in one go. Watching Wang Xuan pick up a large piece of fish and put it in his mouth, a flash of inspiration struck him. He wanted to launch a surprise attack on Viper!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was the case. Wong Chi-shing was furious. Since when could triad turf wars seek help from the police?
"You've got a clever plan, haven't you? We raid Viper's place, and then you make your move to seize the territory. Heh heh, daring to use us police as your muscle, should I call you overconfident or delusional?"
"Why not? Since some triad is going to get involved anyway, it might as well be me instead of Viper. Don't you think I'm more law-abiding than Viper?" Wang Xuan picked up a bottle of beer and poured Wong Chi-shing a full glass, then poured one for himself and raised it in a toast. "At least I primarily engage in legitimate business and won't cause trouble for your police force."
"Hey, you have the nerve to say that. You've only been on the rise for a few days, and you've caused quite a bit of trouble for us police, haven't you?"
"That's all because others came looking for trouble, what does it have to do with me? Although I am a legitimate businessman, I can't let others walk all over me."
Looking at Wang Xuan's innocent expression, Wong Chi-shing wished he could punch him in the face.
However, that last statement wasn't wrong. Every piece of land in Hong Kong had triads, whether it was you or him. Having someone more law-abiding would naturally be better.
But... he didn't want to agree so easily.
Shaking his head, Wang Xuan continued to raise the stakes. "I'm giving you intel on Viper's drug trafficking. Of course, this is all about his subordinates making the deals. Whether you can catch anyone, whether you can catch them red-handed, whether you can get his underlings to talk, that's all irrelevant to me."
"Really!"
Wong Chi-shing sat up straight. The credit for busting drug deals was far greater than for busting gambling rings, so he couldn't help but be tempted!
"Really, but..." Wang Xuan's face broke into a smile.
"Don't push it too far!"
Although his body was honest, he still had to put up some resistance with his words.
"Don't worry, Inspector Huang. It's just a small favor for you, and I'll absolutely make sure you don't make any mistakes. First: I need Viper held at the police station for 24 hours, with all outside communication cut off. Second: I need some materials for stab-proof vests. I want to make a batch for myself. I'm afraid of dying!"
