Chapter 1 Three Undercovers "Love brothers or love gold?!" Parallel world, Hong Kong Island. In the incense hall of the Hongxing Society, an old man holding an iron knife stood behind a handsome young man, holding up the shiny back of the knife and asked sternly. This is the initiation ceremony being held by the Hongxing Society. Most of the social societies in Hong Kong Island evolved from the split of the Hongmen. Even those that are not orthodox Hongmen mostly call themselves disciples of the Hongmen, including the Hongxing Society. Therefore, many things passed down from our ancestors have not changed much, and the same is true for initiation ceremonies. All major societies are pretty much the same. Faced with the old man's knife-wielding questioning, the young man in the black suit couldn't help but complain in his heart. You put a knife to my neck and ask me, of course I love my brothers, do you think I also love my brothers' gold? However, even though he thought so in his heart, he pretended to be serious on his face and shouted solemnly: "Love brother!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction and continued to explain the gang rules. The young man also answered one by one according to the answers he had memorized long ago, and finally recited the Thirty-Six Oaths of Hongmen. Until the old man recorded Di Qing's name in the underwater roster of Hongxing Society. Just like that, the initiation ceremony was over. This also means that Di Qing has successfully taken up the position and from today on, he is an official member of the Hongxing Society, commonly known as "Sijiuzi". Although the "Sijiuzai" are only grassroots members of the society, they can be considered to have the name "Hung Hing" attached to them, which makes them much better than those "Blue Lanterns" at the bottom of the society. Not only can you receive some money every month, but if anything goes wrong, the society will step in to help you resolve it. "Alright, you're officially following me from now on!" At this time, a man who was watching the ceremony nearby and looked a little neurotic, wearing an orange suit, walked up. The man patted Di Qing on the shoulder and said in a hoarse voice: "Follow me, Liang Kun, and don't lose my face when you are out there. If there is any problem, the boss will help you solve it, but remember to be loyal, do you understand?" Yes, the man’s name is Liang Kun, the boss of Hung Hing in Mong Kok. Hearing what Liang Kun said, Di Qing's mouth twitched. Boss, didn’t you say that the word ‘righteousness’ means ‘I am the Lamb’? Now that I have joined Hongxing, you tell me to be loyal? But even though he complained in his heart, Di Qing still respectfully poured a cup of tea for Liang Kun and said, "I understand, Brother Kun." "Well, smart boy!" Liang Kun nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and said, "Remember, the red envelope is 3,600 yuan. Come to the company to see me at 7 o'clock tonight." After saying that, he scratched his butt, turned around and went out with his two little brothers. With the sound of a car, the figure disappeared in a short while.
"Damn, it's not easy to worship a boss these days, and you have to pay a red envelope..." Di Qing sighed helplessly, and then greeted the old man who presided over the initiation ceremony: "Sixth uncle, thank you." Uncle Liu packed up his things, waved his hand, and signaled him to get out. Di Qing was too lazy to pay attention to the old man. He went out, came to the street, found a public telephone booth, took out a coin, put it in, and then dialed a number. "Hello? Who are you looking for?" A deep voice came from the other end of the line. Di Qing quickly said: "Brother Chen, it's me, I'm Ah Qing!" "Oh, it's Ah Qing? What are you doing?" Di Qing whispered, "Brother Chen, this is what I am talking about. I have successfully joined Hongxing and followed the boss of Mong Kok, Liang Kun. But this bastard Liang Kun wants to charge me 36,000 yuan for the membership fee. Do you think you can..." There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then he said calmly, "Okay, come to Hutchison Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui tomorrow and ask Sha Qiang to get it." "Looking for Sha Qiang, right? Okay, okay, thank you Brother Chen!" After hanging up the phone, Di Qing thought for a moment, inserted another coin, and dialed another number. "Hey?" "Mr. Gao, it's me, Ah Qing!" "What's the matter?" the person on the other end of the phone asked coldly. "Sir Gao, I have followed your instructions and successfully joined Hongxing, but that bastard Liang Kun wants to take 36,000 yuan from me in a red envelope. You know, I am cleaner than my face, so how can I afford 36,000 yuan? Can you reimburse me?" "What? Thirty-six thousand?!" "PC9527, what are you doing? I asked you to go undercover in Hongxing, and you asked me for . You might as well just rob people, flop!" "Sir Gao, don't be like this. We are all investigating the case. Now that I have successfully joined Hongxing, I have completed the first step. Next, won't it be easy to get evidence of Hongxing fans?" The other end of the phone fell silent, and then a voice with suppressed anger rang out: "Okay, I'll give you the 36,000, but you'd better not play any tricks. You must give me evidence that Liang Kun is a fan, otherwise don't blame me for being rude. Don't forget that your file is still in my hands!" "Don't worry, Sir Gao. I promise to complete the task!" After hanging up the phone, Di Qing couldn't help but spit: "You bastard, you want the horse to run, but you don't want it to eat grass. How can it be so easy in the world? I'm cheating you sons of bitches!" While cursing, Di Qing took out a box of Marlboro from his pocket, lit one and took a deep puff. As the smoke lingered, his eyes gradually became deeper, as if he was lost in some memories. I vaguely remember that day five years ago, in the Wanfo Temple in Shatin, a short and fat man raised his glass and said to seven young people including Di Qing: "I wish you all the best in the police department. Cheers, officers." Then, with the help of that man, he successfully passed the examination and was admitted to the police department, and gloriously became a policeman. I just didn't expect that being a policeman is harder than being a gangster. Without any background and not being appreciated by his superiors, he is almost a nobody in the police force, and all the dirtiest and most tiring work is done by him.
Compared with the other six undercover agents sent into the police department by Han Chen, he can be said to be the worst one. As far as Di Qing knew, the others had made some progress in their original positions. Especially Liu Jianming, who joined CIB, had made many contributions in the past few years with the help of Han Chen, and was hailed as the rising star of the police force. He was highly appreciated by the CIB chiefs, and it was said that he was preparing to take the trainee inspector exam recently. Only Di Qing has been in the job for five years, but he is still a small policeman patrolling the streets every day, just eating and waiting to die. I can’t afford a car, let alone a house. Of course, it’s not because Di Qing didn’t work hard that he ended up like this. On the contrary, the Organized Crime and Triad Society he belonged to was specifically responsible for combating the underworld. With the support of Han Chen, one of the five top bosses of the Ni family, he should have been doing very well. It’s a pity that people’s destinies are not the same. In recent years, in order to help him get promoted as quickly as possible, Han Chen occasionally passed on to him some intelligence about crimes committed by other gangs. Relying on this information, Organized Crime and Triad Bureau successfully cracked down on many social organizations. But in the end, all the credit was divided up by the people above him, and no benefits fell to him at all. In addition, he has no qualifications or background and few friends in the police force, so no one would stand up for him in such a matter. Over time, even Han Chen had given up on him. Gradually, Di Qing understood that having abilities and intelligence was useless. The most important thing was to have a good boss. But he had no choice in this matter. Just like this time, the anti-drug team received a report that there were drug addicts in Mong Kok. After investigation, the police suspected that the source of the fans came from Hongxing's Liang Kun. Hung Hing belongs to the triad organization, so the anti-drug team decided to jointly investigate the case with Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. The anti-drug team is responsible for eradicating drugs, and Organized Crime and Triads is responsible for cracking down on the Hung Hing gang. In order to obtain evidence of the popularity of Leung Kun, Organized Crime and Triad Society decided to send undercover agents to infiltrate Hung Hing for investigation. But being an undercover agent is dangerous and affects one's future, so naturally no one wants to do it. What's more, being an undercover agent in the police force, the risk factor increases exponentially. In the end, the head of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau had to select the candidates himself. So Di Qing, a nobody with no qualifications and no background, became the unlucky guy. Under the arrangement of his superior Gao Zongyang, he took off his police uniform and hung out in Mong Kok for half a year, where he either chopped people or was chopped every day. It was not until the recent gunfight between Hongxing and the East Star that many people died that he finally got rid of his identity as a lowly mule and successfully got a job as Liang Kun's henchman. "I used to be a gangster, and finally became a policeman, but I didn't expect to become a gangster again in the end..." Recalling the past, Di Qing couldn't help but laugh at himself, then he put out his cigarette, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he muttered: "You bastards, you don't treat me as a human being, and you still want me to do things for you, dream on!" After that, Di Qing took a deep breath and shouted in his mind: "System, extract the mission reward." Yes, as a time traveler, Di Qing certainly had a system, but he didn’t expect it would take more than 20 years to activate it.
His first task at the moment is to formally join a club. 【Ding! 】 [Congratulations to the host for completing side quest 1: Join a club. ] [Reward: The realm of Mingjin of Chinese martial arts. ] Swah—— As the system's voice fell, a heat current suddenly emerged from within his body and quickly began to transform Di Qing's body. At the same time, some knowledge of traditional Chinese martial arts about the Ming Jin realm emerged in his mind. Guoshu is Chinese martial arts, which is only for killing enemies, not for performance. The first realm of Chinese martial arts is Ming Jin, which is the so-called "a single sound is worth a thousand gold coins". To put it simply, it means to train the whole body, concentrate strength, punch hard, explode the air, and create amazing power. This is the realm of Ming Jin. Di Qing closed his eyes and felt it quietly. After a while, Di Qing felt that his whole body was filled with strength, more than ten times stronger than before. When I raised my hands, I saw that my arms seemed to have become thicker and more muscular. I touched my abdomen and it was also full of muscles. After being admitted to the police department five years ago, he underwent 27 weeks of training at the Police Academy, so his skills were already quite good. Now with the strength of Ming Jin realm, it will be no problem for him to fight against a dozen or twenty strong men by himself. 【Ding! 】 [Congratulations to the host, you have activated the side quest 2: Tie up any level of the Hongxing red stick, white paper fan or straw sandals. ] [Mission Reward: Firearms Mastery (Advanced).] When Di Qing heard the system's voice, his eyes lit up. Advanced Firearms Mastery?! You have to know that he has been a policeman for five years, and his proficiency in firearms is only elementary. [Host]: Di Qing [Skills]: Police Combat (Elementary), Firearms Proficiency (Elementary), Driving (Elementary), Chinese Martial Arts (Ming Jin)... [Main Mission]: Control a community (unfinished) [Side mission]: 1. Join a club (completed). 2. Obtain any level of the Hongxing Red Stick, White Paper Fan or Straw Sandals (unfinished). Mission Reward: Firearms Proficiency (Advanced) Looking at the rewards on the system interface, Di Qing's heart was burning with excitement, and at the same time, he became more determined to climb up. "With the help of the system, I will never be mediocre again!" "Since the previous road is blocked, let's take another road!" Di Qing secretly became angry. He also didn't expect that the system would be activated only after traveling through so many years. If it had been earlier, he would never have ended up like this and been sent as an undercover agent.
But now that I've joined the society again, I'll temporarily rely on my triple undercover identity and slowly climb up. One day, he will become one of the people at the top of the pyramid! (End of this chapter)
