Reborn as a 500 Million Inspector: A Legacy of Loyalty and Glory

Chapter 17 The Series of Schemes, Lei Luo’s Methods!

All the police officers on Hong Kong Island were acting under Blue Steel’s command. The feeling of having absolute power made Blue Steel feel like he was almost flying.

In these few days, the leaders of the major gangs on Hong Kong Island had been visiting him one after another. As for the Digital Gang, Blue Steel had intervened forcefully, putting Li Tai’s subordinates in power. Then, he joined forces with the Walled City and took advantage of the police sweep to expand their territory!

Among all of this, the Yi An Society and Yi Qun were hit the hardest. Originally, the Yi An Society was supposed to dominate Kowloon, but unexpectedly, they were struck down in one night. Not only did they fail to take over Kowloon, but they also lost a significant amount of territory.

The Digital Gang, under the guise of avenging Li Tai, teamed up with the Walled City. Blue Steel first ordered the police to clear out the Yi An Society’s men and arrest them. Then, the Digital Gang and Walled City came in to take over, effortlessly and without bloodshed.

“Haha, damn it feels good!”

“Those dogs from Yi An Society, none of their leaders dared to come out.”

“By the time they do, the world will have changed.”

“Yao Ge, your Walled City is looking even bigger now, congratulations!”

“Good job, you keep it up, stick with Brother Blue, you’ll definitely make it big!”

In a private room, Blue Steel, Ayao, and the new leader of the Digital Gang, Sang Gou, were drinking. Blue Steel maintained a composed smile, sitting in the middle, enjoying the compliments from both men.

Ayao had taken control of a large number of stalls, and now the Walled City’s power had grown stronger. Sang Gou, too, had seized a lot of Yi An Society’s territory, bringing great profit to his gang. Previously, some had been dissatisfied with his rise to power, but now, one by one, they had all quieted down.

In the world of organized crime, loyalty is something you say to the outside world. When it’s needed, you offer incense to Guan Di, but when it’s not, you don’t even glance at it.

Especially for these men, money and power are the core. They want their subordinates to show loyalty, but only to make control easier. Asking them to be loyal themselves would be foolishness.

“Too bad that kid didn’t finish off Lei Luo completely.”

“Sang Gou, didn’t expect you to have such a ruthless guy under your command.”

“Heh, idiot, thinking that killing Lei Luo would make him the leader? He can rot in jail.”

With such a large-scale sweep, it didn’t take long for them to find the person who shot Lei Luo. Sang Gou, upon learning that the shooter was one of his gang members, immediately sold him out without hesitation.

Blue Steel handed the man over, and soon received praise from the higher-ups. However, to calm the higher-ups’ anger, Blue Steel also pushed for the Digital Gang to give up a bit more.

Sang Gou, though unwilling, didn’t dare refuse Blue Steel. Blue Steel shook his drink, feeling triumphant. He regretted that Lei Luo didn’t die, but he wasn’t particularly worried. He was confident that by the time Lei Luo returned, the king of the underground world of Hong Kong Island would have changed.

But while they were drinking here, they had no idea that the situation outside was quietly changing. Zhu Youzi, alone, went to Yi Qun’s territory. An hour after he left, Yi Qun gathered all their forces. At 3 am that night, Yi Qun launched a surprise attack on the Ma Brothers’ largest factory on Hong Kong Island!

As the largest of the four major drug dealers on Hong Kong Island, Ah Hao, the Ma Brothers, and the Digital Gang divided the territory into four. Both Ah Hao and the Ma Brothers had left Hong Kong Island to fight for supplies in the Golden Triangle.

Li Tai had been killed before he had the chance to send anyone, and so that matter was left unresolved. Sang Gou felt that now that he had Blue Steel’s backing, he could directly seize the market, so he wasn’t in a hurry. Who knew that in such a situation, Yi Qun would still dare to make such a big move!

The Ma Brothers’ men were unprepared and were taken out in one go. The factory’s goods were taken away, and the remaining materials were burned clean. By the time Blue Steel learned of the news the next day, Yi Qun’s men had already hidden themselves.

Feeling his dignity provoked, Blue Steel was furious and ordered a citywide search. But Hong Kong Island, though not huge, wasn’t small either.

A Luo had already made arrangements. Yi Qun’s men split into smaller groups and dispersed to the New Territories and other areas. The stolen goods were mixed with A Luo’s original goods and hidden by him. Once everything was confirmed to be gone, A Luo directly ordered Zhu Youzi to destroy most of it!

As a result, the drug supply on Hong Kong Island was nearly cut off. The major stalls were left with only a small amount of goods, and even the Digital Gang had very little left. Unable to get in touch with their suppliers, each group began to tighten their supply.

At that moment, A Luo secretly spread the news about the shortage of goods on Hong Kong Island. Suddenly, the smokers could no longer sit still!

One thing led to another, and the rapid changes in the situation surpassed everyone’s expectations. Within a day, the smokers who couldn’t get their hands on any goods began to act!

Some of them were already part of the gangs, and they gathered together to start attacking the drug stalls. The men guarding the stalls were the toughest from the major gangs, so they wouldn’t go easy on them. They immediately retaliated and suppressed the attackers. However, as is often the case, sparks lead to flames.

At this time, the drug stalls were scattered all over the island. Now, during the crackdown, the bosses were mostly hiding, and the response wasn’t timely. Gradually, some of the drug stalls couldn’t withstand the attacks of the desperate smokers and were destroyed, with the goods stolen.

The news spread, and other smokers were incited, becoming even more frantic. Blue Steel took several days to stabilize the situation, but he never expected it to once again spiral out of control in a single night. And this time, the impact was even worse than the fire at the Walled City!

The Walled City fire had been localized, but now, drug addicts who couldn’t find goods lost their minds and appeared everywhere on Hong Kong Island!

Even in the bustling Central, you could see addicts screaming and wreaking havoc in the streets, smashing everything in sight. Journalists, who had been excited recently, found themselves with plenty of material to cover again.

Newspapers and even radio stations reported these events. Many middle-class and elite citizens complained to the Hong Kong government, demanding action.

The Commissioner of Police, along with Chief Superintendent James and others, were summoned to the government and were verbally attacked. Blue Steel, still enjoying himself outside, was called back to the police station.

As soon as he entered the office, the angry Commissioner of Police almost smashed his head with a stick.

“Is this the result you’ve handled!?”

“Can you even do your job? If you can’t, get the hell out right now!”

The Commissioner lashed out, leaving Blue Steel speechless.

His English wasn’t good enough to keep up with the speed of the senior officials.

At that moment, James, who had been sitting silently, suddenly spoke, “We can’t keep going like this.”

“I’ll go see Lei Luo. If he’s recovered, let him come out and take charge.”

In a long speech, Blue Steel clearly heard the name “Lei Luo.”

He quickly looked up, only to see that all the senior officials were deep in thought…

“Sir!”

“We don’t need Lei Luo!”

“Give me three days! I guarantee I’ll calm this down!”
