After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong took a sip of tea, sighed, and said, "Why is it so difficult to run a business peacefully?"

Ah-Hua laughed and said, "Brother Dong, there are countless triads of all sizes in Hong Kong, with six or seven hundred thousand people involved in the underworld. Even the Li family, the number one family in Hong Kong, can't find peace, let alone us."

Shen Dong's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, "That's why we have to fight. A good fight will prevent a hundred more. Whether it's Wang Bao or Han Chen, they're all just chickens I'm using to scare the monkeys."

Little Ma was quite combative, and upon hearing this, he said, "Brother Dong, you give the order."

Shen Dong said, "No rush. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Ahua, find a few private investigators. I need all the information on Wang Bao and Han Chen."

Ahua nodded and said, "Understood."

Shen Dong stood up and said, "I originally wanted to do some tobacco and alcohol business with Wang Bao, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. What bad luck."

......

Coincidentally!

On his way back, Wang Bao also instructed his men to hire a private investigator to look into Shen Dong's information.

"Ah Ji, just how powerful is that Feng Yuxiu?"

"Very strong. I feel like he wasn't using his full strength, otherwise I might already be lying on the ground."

Wang Bao was shocked and exclaimed, "Is he really that strong?"

Wang Bao missed watching the three boxing matches between Hung Hing and Tung Sing due to unforeseen circumstances, but he did hear about it: Shen Dong easily defeated Feng Yuxiu.

If Feng Yuxiu could easily defeat Aji, whose kung fu was about the same as his own, wouldn't that mean he was much worse than Shen Dong?

Aji said, "If it's a life-or-death struggle, he might be even more powerful than I imagined. Besides, the two people next to Shen Dong have extremely sharp eyes, and their skills should be no less than mine."

Wang Bao frowned and said, "The one wearing sunglasses is Tian Yangsheng, known as Shen Dong's strongest spear. The other one is Li Jie, Shen Dong's personal bodyguard."

"With so many capable men under his command, it's no wonder that Shen Dong was able to seize so much territory in such a short time."

"Damn, now I finally understand why Han Chen wanted to deal with Shen Dong."

Ah Ji said, "Boss, with the skills of Shen Dong and Li Jie, it's basically impossible for them to kill Shen Dong."

Wang Bao nodded and said, "If open killing doesn't work, then let's assassinate."

Aji said, "Okay, I know what to do."

Just then, Wang Bao's phone rang.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Brother, the deal has run into trouble. Chen Guozhong and his men have launched a surprise attack on one of our strongholds."

"Damn it! It's Chen Guozhong again. He's about to retire, and he's still causing me trouble. Damn it, how much have we lost this time?"

"We lost... HK$50 million and heroin worth HK$30 million."

Wang Bao's eyes widened in fury, and he roared, "You bastards! Why wasn't the heroin distributed quickly enough? Why wasn't the money handed over immediately?"

“Brother, there’s nothing I can do. The police have been acting like they’re going crazy lately, checking our place almost every day. The drug addicts don’t dare to bet anymore. As for the 50 million, I was supposed to hand it over to you tonight, but then this happened.”

"You're a complete idiot, utterly foolish."

After giving his subordinates a severe dressing-down, Wang Bao hung up the phone and said in a deep voice, "There must be a mole among my men. Ah Ji, find this person."

Aji nodded and said, "Understood."

Wang Bao ran into trouble, and Shen Dong wasn't doing much better.

After Li Xian left, the newly appointed head of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) was named Luo Peiquan.

This guy spent half a month figuring out the power distribution in Tuen Mun and launched a massive anti-gang operation.

Shen Dong, the most powerful leader of the Hongmen, became his primary target.

For three consecutive days, Luo Peiquan personally led a group to inspect his business, causing customers to complain and business to plummet.

Inside the bar, Feiji slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Brother Dong, everyone knows that our Hung Hing establishments are the cleanest. This Luo Peiquan is just deliberately causing trouble."

Jimmy chimed in, "Luo Peiquan really went too far. Not only did he investigate our bar and nightclub, but he also went to investigate my arcade. It's simply outrageous."

Ahua said, "Brother Dong, this can't go on like this."

After pondering for a moment, Shen Dong said, "Feiji, go find the owners of those venues and have them compile a table summarizing their daily losses and submit it to me. Jimmy, you do the same; you can exaggerate the losses a bit."

Jimmy asked, puzzled, "Brother Dong, what are you going to do?"

Shen Dong took a drag of his cigarette and said, "We're running a legitimate business. The police checking license plates caused us such a huge loss, so of course I have to file a complaint. This afternoon, I'm going to go with all the other bosses to have a serious talk with Luo Peiquan's superior."

"If the deal goes through, everything is OK. If not, then we'll have to see each other in court."

"We live in a society governed by law, and we vulnerable people need to know how to protect ourselves through the law."

"Pfft"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Feiji said, "Brother Dong, it's always the police suing the underworld before, we've never seen the underworld suing the police before."

Shen Dong smacked him on the head and said, "What gangsters? We're all businessmen who pay taxes. I'm a philanthropist, too."

"Hahahaha"

Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, everyone burst into laughter.

At 2 p.m., Shen Dong arrived at Tuen Mun Police Station with more than 30 business owners.

Police Chief Charlie dared not neglect them and personally received them.

Shen Dong handed more than thirty forms to Charlie and said, "Chief Charlie, we want to file a complaint against Luo Peiquan, the newly appointed head of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau here."

Charlie frowned and asked, "Why?"

Shen Dong said, “We are all legitimate businessmen in Tuen Mun. Luo Peiquan, in order to gain merit and promotion, came to our place for three consecutive days to check license plates and ID cards, which caused us to lose a lot of customers and suffer tremendous losses.”

"We've heard this operation will last for two weeks, which is something we absolutely cannot agree to."

"The reason is simple: after two weeks, everyone's venues will have to close down."

“As a representative of the thirty-eight businessmen in Tuen Mun, I formally request that you immediately cease this action.”

Charlie placed the form on the table and said, "Operation Anti-Triad is a special operation carried out by our police force, and it has been approved from above. I cannot agree to your request. Also, Mr. Shen Dong, don't think I don't know your identity."

Shen Dong said bluntly, "I am an employee of Hung Hing Group, there's nothing I can't say. Commissioner Charlie, I hope you can give us businessmen a chance to survive. Otherwise, if our business can't continue, your position may not be secure either."
