Inspiration

In the story, Yau Kong Ngau, once an elite police officer, did just that after being released from prison, and his revenge was quite insane.

It can be said that the villainous characters in these three films were more deranged in their actions than the last.

However, although Yau Kong Ngau was also a villain, Song Ren wouldn't immediately dismiss him based on the movie's plot.

Just as he wouldn't deliberately target A Hu.

He didn't consider himself a good person, but he also wouldn't deny being a decent one.

His moral bottom line was a bit higher than Yau Kong Ngau's after his complete descent into darkness, but a bit lower than Cheung Chung Bong, the male protagonist in Raging Fire Case.

Between these two characters, one good and one evil.

Yau Kong Ngau believed in prioritizing emotion over law, which is why he killed the suspect, Kele, to save someone and for his brothers.

Cheung Chung Bong, on the other hand, believed in procedural justice, where everything must adhere to the law.

Those who break the law must be punished.

That's why, during the trial, in immense turmoil, he painfully chose to stand on the side of the law.

He admitted to personally witnessing his police brothers commit crimes.

Ultimately, due to his superior shirking responsibility, Fok Siu Tong's callousness, and Cheung Chung Bong's insistence on procedural justice.

Yau Kong Ngau's entire squad, except for one member who committed suicide by jumping off a building unable to accept the outcome, was imprisoned in Stanley.

"A Ngau, sit down first."

Song Ren tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers, then suddenly looked up and asked, "A Lok, what's going on between you and that Fok Siu Tong?"

A Lok explained, "Billionaires like Fok Siu Tong are all involved in some grey assets, or large sums of money that are inconvenient to divest directly."

"Including me, there were seven of us helping Fok Siu Tong handle these matters."

"A while ago, I don't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly decided to discard us after we were no longer useful."

"He cut more than half of the benefits he had promised us and his attitude towards us became extremely hostile."

Lai Pei Leung asked blankly, "Don't you elite people sign contracts for these things?"

A Lok gave a wry smile, "How could we possibly sign contracts for something like this?"

"Besides, even if we did, this matter couldn't be brought to court, wouldn't that be putting shackles on ourselves?"

"Moreover, we also considered his identity as Fok's Bank, and we had collaborated with him a few times before, which is why we agreed to help him."

Lai Pei Leung wanted to ask more, but Song Ren interrupted him, "Let A Lok finish first."

A Lok continued, "Since he cheated us, we naturally wouldn't let it go."

"We each have some connections in our respective fields, although they are nowhere near as strong as Fok's Bank, but coupled with some inside information we learned while working for him."

"So we decided to join forces and teach him a heavy lesson, setting up a trap to swindle him out of some money and then escape."

"However, Fok Siu Tong is not an easy target, and we also had some problems on our end, which the other party detected in advance, and the result was that we couldn't get away."

Bald Rong asked, "How much did you swindle him out of?"

A Lok smiled and held up one finger.

Bald Rong swallowed, "One million?"

A Lok replied, "You can be bolder."

Lai Pei Leung asked, "Could it be ten million?"

A Lok shook his head and said calmly, "It was one hundred million, and in US dollars."

"Unfortunately, we couldn't transfer all of it out, only a tenth."

Hearing his casual words, those present still gasped.

A tenth was still in the tens of millions.

And in US dollars, it was terrifying to think about.

They, who lived by the sword in gangs, weren't strangers to money, but they had never seen this much.

If A Lok and the others had succeeded, even the behemoth Fok's Bank would have been severely wounded.

After all, one hundred million in liquid assets was something even a bank couldn't withstand.

Song Ren stated, "In that case, it's highly likely that the other party tracked you down here to continue dealing with you."

A Lok's expression was grim, his mood fluctuating.

Song Ren didn't say whether he would help or not, just patted his shoulder and left.

Yau Kong Ngau, however, said solemnly, "A Lok, if you need anything, just ask. Don't worry, Brother Ren won't just stand by and watch."

A Lok nodded, but his face was filled with worry.

Accidents could easily happen in prison, especially in Stanley.

This place even housed many death row inmates, those were desperate troublemakers.

Even if Song Ren could protect him for a while, what would happen to him after Song Ren was released from prison?

He was serving a life sentence!

Thinking of this, A Lok felt his future was bleak. He muttered under his breath, "Always leave a little room for maneuver, you bastard Fok Siu Tong! We might meet again someday!"

In the following days, A Lok's situation gradually became more troublesome.

Sharing the same cell, even if Song Ren and Yau Kong Ngau could protect him, they couldn't do so every single moment.

They weren't personal bodyguards, and they couldn't go that far for him.

A Lok's injuries started to accumulate.

He even ended up in the infirmary a few times. By the sixth day, A Lok finally couldn't take it anymore. After returning from the infirmary, he immediately found Song Ren. "Brother Ren."

Song Ren waited for him to continue.

A Lok was silent for a moment, then said, "I have key evidence on hand regarding Fok Siu Tong's involvement in illegal businesses and tax evasion, as well as core information about some internal issues at Fok's Bank."

"This is something I secretly kept as a backup when I was working for him."

"If this information is used properly, we can definitely extort a large sum of money from Fok Siu Tong."

Song Ren looked up at him. This kid had indeed been hiding something.

A Lok said awkwardly, "Ahem, Brother Ren, if it were you, you'd probably understand me."

"This is my trump card. If I gave it to someone else, I'm afraid I'd never get out of this prison."

Song Ren asked, "Then why are you telling me now?"

A Lok gave a bitter smile. "If I don't tell you now, I'm afraid I'll die here. Although you and Brother Ngau have been looking out for me, those bastards are just too unpredictable."

Song Ren asked, "So what do you want to do?"

A Lok shook his head, then said seriously, "I don't know either, Brother Ren. I'll listen to you, I'll stick with you."

Song Ren didn't answer directly but nodded. "Okay, I understand."

He also had his own considerations.

After being released from prison, he would have to deal with Wong Po of Zhong Yi Xin and Inspector Chan Kwok Chung.

He also didn't want to be directly involved in the undercover mission within the triad. Therefore, he needed to establish his own business and recruit a group of trustworthy people.

Thus, Song Ren had been contemplating his path after release, and A Lok's situation gave him a small inspiration.

Perhaps he could do something with Fok Siu Tong.
