On the way to Longteng headquarters, Wang Yan called Ni Yongxiao and asked him to have afternoon tea.
Arriving at the headquarters and looking up at the towering Longteng Building, Wang Yan was full of energy and ambition.
He walked into the building with his men, and everyone inside stood respectfully and saluted when they saw Wang Yan coming in. There was nothing he could do. Long Teng was too strong, and Wang Yan was too powerful. Long Teng was a well-known figure in Hong Kong Island.
Wang Yan took the elevator directly to the large conference room on the top floor.
Dozens of people were sitting quietly in the conference room. They were all powerful and influential outside, but here they were silent.
This is a Longteng policy. Whether you're a security company operative or working in one of Longteng's other industries, once you reach level 10, you must go to headquarters for promotion training and assessment. Depending on the individual's development path, this training includes military training, Longteng's values, Longteng's development plan, and essential skills for Longteng managers. Furthermore, after a successful promotion, there are regular training sessions.
The reason for doing this is to engrave Longteng's rules into their bones step by step in this process.
The selection of Longteng's lower-level personnel is a rigorous process, and those who are able to rise to level ten are truly one in a thousand. These people are absolutely qualified, and even those who work in security companies can build a career without being a gangster.
At level ten, one becomes a Longteng manager. Once these leaders are well-organized, those below them will follow their example, and over time, they will be influenced. Furthermore, as Longteng grows, the selection criteria become increasingly high. This synergy between the upper and lower levels continuously elevates Longteng's overall quality.
The younger brother pushed open the two heavy doors and Wang Yan slowly walked into the meeting room.
Seeing Wang Yan come in, the group of people sitting there all stood up and said, "Hello, Brother Yan."
Wang Yan nodded and walked to the main seat and sat down: "Everyone, sit down."
The younger brothers all sat down.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Wang Yan said, "I believe you all know why I called everyone here."
"I won't waste any more words. With Long Teng's strength, if you can't deal with those old bastards, you all should go back and start again from level one."
The younger brothers below all responded in unison, indicating that there would absolutely be no problem. Just kidding, if they were asked to go back and start over now, it was doubtful whether they could even make it. You know, the newcomers in Longteng are so fierce.
Wang Yan was also full of confidence, but he still had to say what he had to say, after all, there was still a chance of something happening.
"I'm waiting for the result, it's useless to say it. Ayun, has everything been arranged in Thailand?" Wang Yan looked at Li Yun who was sitting below.
Li Yun replied, "Brother Yan, don't worry. We have been keeping an eye on Jiang Tianyang for three months. We guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
"A Fei, how are things going over there?" Wang Yan looked at Fang Hongfei.
Fang Hongfei came to power when the New Territories were occupied. He and his men killed several Dongxing people. He was brave enough to fight, fight and kill.
Fang Hongfei said, "No problem, Brother Yan. This time, I guarantee that the Five Tigers of East Star will become sick cats, and none of them will be able to escape."
Wang Yan nodded, then asked some other people and gave them some detailed instructions.
Finally, Wang Yan set a time: tonight at 11 o'clock, and take action on time.
Everyone responded in unison and then went back to prepare. Hong Kong Island was destined to be turbulent tonight.
As early as three months ago, Wang Yan began to have his men track and monitor the big brothers of various societies. This time he wanted to rule the underground forces of Hong Kong Island in one fell swoop.
I can't claim this operation is foolproof. With an organization as large as Longteng, it's normal for rumors to leak out. Wang Yan had been leaking rumors for the first three months, simply to confuse the public. Forget about anything else. Among the people in the meeting just now was Wang Yan's confirmed undercover agent. Wang Yan didn't care. He'd already reached level 10, earning over a million dollars a year. Whether or not he'd pass on the news to the police was a mystery.
What's more, Wang Yan was spending a lot of money on the police force, so they just had to promise not to interfere. They all knew what kind of player Wang Yan was, and he was not someone they could afford to offend. Even using legitimate means would make them feel like they were in ecstasy, let alone using dirty tricks, so they all just took the money and did the job.
Some societies will also send people to Longteng as undercover agents in order to receive information as soon as possible and respond in time.
Wang Yan had already made arrangements for this. Each level 10 boss led his trusted subordinates to prepare the tools for the crime, but they wouldn't be informed until an hour beforehand. In just one hour, all the major airports, docks, and train stations were filled with Wang Yan's men. He didn't believe those bastards could get away with it.
After making these arrangements, it was almost time to meet with Ni Yongxiao.
Last time, Wang Yan went to Tsim Sha Tsui to see Ni Yongxiao, but this time it was different. Wang Yan was no match for Ni Yongxiao now, it was no exaggeration to say that the difference was worlds apart, so Ni Yongxiao came to the New Territories to see Wang Yan.
When they arrived at the agreed teahouse, Ni Yongxiao was already waiting outside, just like Wang Yan had been. To Wang Yan's surprise, Chen Yongren was standing behind Ni Yongxiao.
Seeing Wang Yan get out of the car and walk over, Ni Yongxiao and Chen Yongren took a few steps to greet him and stretched out their hands from a distance: "Brother Yan, haha, it's been a long time since we last met."
Wang Yan smiled and shook hands with Ni Yongxiao: "Haha, Brother Xiao, it's been a long time since we last met."
Then he let go of his hand and nodded to Chen Yongren: "Okay, don't be so polite. Come on, let's go in and talk." He took the lead and walked inside.
Everyone sat down and the waiter made tea. Wang Yan and Ni Yongxiao first chatted about their past. Wang Yan was mainly flattered by Ni Yongxiao, and he was very happy. Who doesn't like to hear praise and flattery?
During the whole process, Chen Yongren stood aside. This was because Wang Yan gave him face, otherwise Chen Yongren would not have the qualifications to stand aside.
After chatting for a while, seeing that Ni Yongxiao had almost used up all the words of praise, Wang Yan waved away the waiter, and the irrelevant people also tactfully walked out.
The only people left in the box were Wang Yan's elite younger brother, the Ni Yongxiao brothers, and Wang Yan.
Seeing Wang Yan's actions, Ni Yongxiao also straightened his body and adjusted his sitting position to show respect. He didn't let Chen Yongren go. Although Ni Yongxiao was cruel and ruthless, Chen Yongren was still his half-brother. He had done things smoothly in the past few years, so he still had a foundation for new people. Moreover, Wang Yan's status was there, and it was not easy to change him.
Wang Yan took a sip of tea and said, "Brother Xiao, you know me well. I don't like to do useless things."
"I'll just say it straight."
Ni Yongxiao looked as if he was listening carefully.
"To be honest, Longteng will begin its operation tonight. We will immediately wipe out all the major societies. Don't let any of those old bastards escape. I will feed every last one of them to the fish."
Ni Yongxiao's body stiffened upon hearing Wang Yan's words. Although he had known this day would come, he hadn't expected it to happen so soon. In just four years, Wang Yan had already achieved this.
If Ni Yongxiao hadn't introduced him to Wang Yan and offered him a favor, Wang Yan would have been sending him to feed the fish tonight. None of these people were good, and their deaths were justified.
Although he was startled, Ni Yongxiao remained silent. He knew Wang Yan had called him here to let him off the hook. Otherwise, it would have been much easier to just shoot him straight away, and save him from wasting his breath.
Chen Yongren's body stiffened when he heard this. What Wang Yan said so lightly concerned dozens of lives, as well as the future structure and development of Hong Kong Island. After a few years, Chen Yongren finally mastered it. Although he was horrified, he remained calm on the surface.
Wang Yan took in the reactions of the two and continued, "As for you, you helped me by introducing the channel to me."
"I'll leave you a way out. You know, I have close ties with the country."
"Longteng is a drug-free organization. You know how your money came from. You can't take a single cent with you. Send it all to charity back home. It'll be considered a good deed."
"As for your considerable businesses and manpower abroad, I won't be in charge of them. I'll leave you some assets."
Wang Yan asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Ni Yongxiao hesitated, wanting to say something, then sighed dejectedly, his entire body deflated. Ultimately, he said nothing. He knew Wang Yan was lucky to let him go; he had no choice, so why bother with such useless talk?
Seeing that he accepted his fate, Wang Yan didn't say anything more. He was giving face to the boss by coming here in person.
After drinking a sip of tea, Wang Yan stood up and walked out with his younger brother. When they were almost at the door, they guessed that Han Chen and the others were there.
Wang Yan turned around and said to Ni Yongxiao, "Let's deal with all the dealers under your command today. Is that okay?"
Seeing Ni Yongxiao nod, Wang Yan glanced at Chen Yongren, turned and left.
No matter how good Wang Yan's memory was, it was still relative. He hadn't yet reached the level of photographic memory. He had already spent four years here, and with the constant learning and handling of various matters, his once-deep memories had been diluted.
Regardless of whether Ni Yongxiao had investigated Ni Kun's death thoroughly, he had to kill them. On the one hand, Wang Yan forced him to do so, and on the other hand, these subordinates were disrespectful to the boss and were greedy.
As for Chen Yongren, even though he is the protagonist and the one who issues the wish, in Wang Yan's view he is just a minor role, just a bystander.
After giving instructions on some matters to take over, Wang Yan looked out at the view of Hong Kong Island from the top floor of Longteng headquarters, enjoying the loneliness that belongs to a successful person.
Night, eleven o'clock.
With a gunshot, a huge change in the underground order of Hong Kong Island began.
As if on cue, gunfire erupted across Hong Kong Island. Longteng's followers, already prepared, dressed in neat black suits and armed with clubs and other weapons, rushed towards the territories of the various gangs.
The bosses of various gangs and their trusted subordinates were all attacked.
Camel, the Five Tigers of the East Star, Big D, Jiang Tiansheng and other big brothers of the society were all killed, without exception.
The territories of various societies were all penetrated by Longteng’s men, and the society’s subordinates were directly dispersed.
Overnight, apart from Longteng, there was no other large organized society in Hong Kong Island.
Powerful individuals from all walks of life had long since learned the truth about the chaos outside. After finding out, they were all shocked by Long Teng's strength and actions. If they hadn't received the confirmed information, they would have thought Wang Yan had gone crazy.
Hong Kong's social organizations have been developing for decades, but no one has ever achieved the level of success that Longteng has achieved. It's not that no one has thought about it, but with the influence and interests of various parties involved, it's just a thought.
Wang Yan was different. He had money and connections. He had no connections to other factions, and he had the support of his motherland. It was all due to a series of coincidences that he was able to succeed. Otherwise, if he had truly believed that the foreigners were his own, Wang Yan would have died countless times.
The next day, Wang Yan got a general understanding of the situation and handed it over to his subordinates.
He still had a lot of things to deal with, including giving instructions to Lao Zhang in China and appeasing the foreign senior officials living in Hong Kong Island.
There was no other way. Wang Yan had destroyed the organized crime groups, and many low-level gangsters had lost their control. With this group of people acting like the boss, Hong Kong Island would definitely be in turmoil for some time.
This is not the situation that China, or even the foreigners, want to see. China wants stability, while the foreigners want their image and money. A stable and prosperous Hong Kong Island is what both sides need.
Wang Yan spent the next few days in constant busyness.
Finally, after spending a large amount of money, Wang Yan promised to solve the problem within two months.
After pacifying both parties, Longteng began a large-scale cleanup of Hong Kong Island.
It was still the same routine as before, but this time Wang Yan was well prepared, the staff were already ready, and the process was carried out very quickly.
After Longteng completely took control of Hong Kong Island, its power expanded rapidly, and with it came the need to resettle an even larger number of people. This was a long and complex task.
To accommodate more people, Longteng continuously expanded into various industries, including manufacturing, services, energy, real estate, communications, and shipping. The company was able to survive thanks to the high profits generated by high-end products like VCDs. Otherwise, Longteng would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Wang Yan wasn't responsible for specific matters; they were all handed over to his ever-expanding think tank and personnel at level ten and above across various industries. Wang Yan simply needed to use his foresight to control the overall direction and prevent Longteng from straying. The superiors were burdened with labor, and the subordinates were burdened with labor; he didn't have the ability or energy to care about everything.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and Longteng had already largely taken control of the entire Hong Kong Island, maintaining a superficial sense of stability and prosperity. However, achieving complete control would not be achieved in a short period of time.
What surprised Wang Yan was that two months had passed. Ni Yongxiao had killed all of his dealers and gone to Canada, but the system still hadn't indicated that the task was complete.
Logically speaking, all these leaders are dead and there is no need for him anymore, so why is there no movement?
Wang Yan was puzzled and asked his men to investigate.
After investigating, Wang Yan realized Chen Yongren had been tricked into going undercover at Longteng again. Furthermore, during the past two months of Longteng's takeover of Hong Kong Island and the city's cleanup operations, he had demonstrated strong organizational and operational capabilities. Longteng, always prioritizing the most capable, had indeed allowed Chen Yongren to rise to the top, reaching level three in just two months.
Wang Yan was speechless. This kid was really stupid. He was completely controlled by people.
He didn't care about Chen Yongren's mental activity; it had nothing to do with him. He was only concerned about his mission and when it would be completed.
Wang Yan's unification of Hong Kong Island this time was somewhat hasty, and the plot of Infernal Affairs ended here. After all, people in the story have left or died, and there is no future. If things continue like this, it will be difficult to complete the mission.
When I first got the system, I was more alert and remembered a lot of things from my childhood. After experiencing two worlds for more than eight years, Wang Yan's experience was rich and colorful.
It could be said that just eight years was equivalent to his life experience of more than twenty years, and even more exciting than that. Wang Yan felt more and more that his spirit could not bear it.
Without saying anything, he asked his younger brother to call Chen Yongren over.
