The Police Are Going Crazy

Wang Xuan felt like he was going crazy, no, he already was!

He had been thoroughly tricked by Shen Leman. Glancing down at his disheveled state, he felt an urge to die.

But if he had to die, he'd take someone down with him.

He gently put her legs down. To Shen Leman's surprise, Wang Xuan didn't appear dejected or doubt his entire existence. Instead, he looked at her tenderly. "Since that's the case, you should rest well. How can you still drink alcohol? You don't take care of yourself at all. Go lie down, I'll make you some ginger soup with brown sugar. Drinking hot water is good for your body."

Shen Leman suddenly felt like she had gone too far. Wang Xuan was being so good to her; she really shouldn't have teased him.

She grabbed Wang Xuan as he turned to leave, hugging him tightly. Her head rested against his chest, and his solid chest made her feel incredibly secure. For this man, she was willing to make some sacrifices.

Since being outmaneuvered by Wang Xuan, Viper had suffered not only financial losses but also the deaths of several capable lieutenants, leaving him overwhelmed. He didn't fully trust the men he'd promoted to replace them, and they struggled to command respect.

With deaths came vacancies, and many wanted to climb the ranks. If not handled carefully, internal conflicts could escalate.

Viper had been agonizing over this for days, only managing to sort things out somewhat recently.

Once he had some free time, he couldn't help but think about retaliating against Wang Xuan. After so many years in the business, this was the first time he had suffered such significant losses at the hands of one person. It had cost him dearly in terms of face. Not only was he mocked by other bosses, but there was also unrest among his own subordinates, making him uneasy.

What he needed to do now was find a way to reclaim those three streets. He had to regain the face he had lost, right there.

Should he start a turf war and forcibly take them back from Wang Xuan?

The chances seemed slim. According to his investigation, Baki's men had also entered these three streets. Although he hated to admit it, Baki's side had the superior strength.

Therefore, he would have to resort to some underhanded tactics.

"Big Mouth!" Viper shouted outside.

The short, stout Big Mouth pushed the door open and entered without a word, waiting for Viper's orders.

"Arrange for a few of your trusted men to keep an eye on Wang Xuan's subordinates, especially that Ah Wai. Find an opportunity to kidnap him." Viper's voice was low but carried a sinister edge.

Big Mouth lowered his head in thought. Having followed Viper for so long, he understood the intention: to threaten Wang Xuan. But... "Wang Xuan has a woman."

Viper sneered. "Although I dislike Wang Xuan, I have to admit he's a formidable figure. Everyone is deceived by his reckless exterior. He's the same type of person as Liu Bang and Liu Bei. Threatening him with a woman... Heh heh, it's best to threaten his brothers. If he doesn't intervene, he'll be seen as disloyal, which would be a significant blow to his reputation and his standing among his subordinates. If he does intervene, then we'll have gained a great advantage."

"Besides, there are rules in our world. We don't involve family. That's how I, Viper, play by the rules."

As he spoke, Viper even convinced himself.

He wasn't afraid of talking more with Big Mouth. This guy was tight-lipped and spoke very little, sometimes not saying a word all day.

This time was no different. Big Mouth just nodded and turned to leave.

The next day...

Wang Xuan summoned Zhou Kun. For legitimate business, he needed to rely on this university student; he was currently the only one under his command who was truly capable.

"Sit."

Having worked with Wang Xuan for a considerable time, Zhou Kun had a general understanding of his boss's temper. He disliked people who were indecisive. As long as you could get the job done, the boss was very approachable. "Boss, what are your orders?"

"Come here for dinner tonight, barbecue."

Zhou Kun knew his boss definitely had more to say, so he didn't rush to express his thanks, quietly waiting for Wang Xuan to continue.

Wang Xuan was pleased with his steady demeanor. "This barbecue is in the Northern Chinese style. Give me your evaluation. I'm planning to open a barbecue city. Give me your suggestions. Once it's decided, we'll register a catering company. We might open other restaurants in the future."

He wanted to bring dishes he liked, or rather, dishes that would become popular in the mainland in the future, to Hong Kong, such as Sichuan cuisine and hot pot.

"Understood, Boss. I get it."

Looking at the steady Zhou Kun, Wang Xuan increasingly felt that his other four subordinates were too impulsive. It was time to give them some training.

"I want to start a school."

This sudden statement caught Zhou Kun off guard. The corners of his mouth twitched, and a million thoughts raced through his mind. Even the most stable person couldn't handle such a drastic shift; it was too abrupt.

Moreover, a triad starting a school?

What would they teach the students?

How to commit crimes better?

How to stab people better?

How to evade the police better?

How to bribe the police better?

What would the school be called?

Hong Kong Triad University?

Who would be the teachers?

Former triad bosses?

Elites of the criminal underworld?

Red Flower Double Stick holders from the gangs?

Were they sure the Hong Kong Royal Police wouldn't go insane upon hearing this news?

A myriad of questions flashed through Zhou Kun's mind. He stared blankly at Wang Xuan, his mouth hanging open unconsciously, his entire face contorted.

Seeing Zhou Kun's astonished expression, Wang Xuan felt immensely proud of himself. What a genius idea this was!

"What do you think? A one-of-a-kind Triad school in the world. Of course, I know it can't happen overnight, but we can take it slow, no rush!"

"Heh! Heh!" Zhou Kun really didn't know how to express his current feelings. "Boss, this... this will definitely go down in history!"

Wang Xuan was very satisfied and gave Zhou Kun a look that said, "You've got great taste."

He had immediately found the best way to complete his mission. What is influence? The Godfather of the American Mafia has influence, so he would become the Godfather of Hong Kong. No, he would be the principal of Hong Kong's Whampoa Military Academy.

From now on, people wouldn't call him low-rent nicknames like Brother Blood Dragon anymore. They would affectionately call him 'Principal'. This was too cool!

However, he needed to carefully consider what courses to offer. For these failing students, math, Chinese, foreign languages, chemistry, politics, history, and the like were all gibberish. Those who could master them wouldn't be thugs; Zhou Kun was just an exception.

But the professionalization of Triads was a historical inevitability. As the social environment in most countries around the world tends toward stability, only stability can bring economic prosperity.

Countries in turmoil would surely be the minority, offering no reference value.
