How about tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yongyao replied without changing his expression, though in truth, he had long since forgotten all about Liu Jiayi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Correctional Institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sat facing each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was young, in his early twenties, with a cold expression—it was Chen Yongren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting opposite Chen Yongren was Lu Qichang from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yongren, it’s been confirmed; you didn’t commit the murder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qichang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you on the very first day! It was all Lei Yaoyang’s doing, but you lot just wouldn’t believe me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yongren said, suppressing his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was understandable; in Chen Yongren’s view, he was a victim of pure misfortune, inexplicably drugged by Lei Yaoyang, only to wake up and be arrested as a murderer, forcing him to spend over a month locked up in the correctional institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This month-long experience in the correctional institution left a deep impression on Chen Yongren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The law follows procedure; there was nothing I could do even if I believed you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qichang patted Chen Yongren on the shoulder and said, “Anyway, you’ll be out in a few days. Have you thought about what you’ll do once you’re out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to continue working undercover in the Ni family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yongren said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qichang shook his head and said, “There’s no need for that. It’s clear Ni Yongyao suspects your identity; continuing the undercover operation is meaningless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Lu Qichang said this was, firstly, that Chen Yongren had indeed failed to gain Ni Yongyao’s trust, and secondly, he had already sent a new undercover agent, Yazi, into the Ni family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, according to recent news from Yazi, she had successfully gotten close to Ni Yongyao and had, to a certain extent, gained his trust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Lu Qichang inevitably compare Yazi with Chen Yongren and Luo Ji; compared to Yazi, the latter two had been undercover for so long yet had achieved nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yongren was silent for a long time before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think it over carefully. If you still want to be a cop, I can specially recruit you into the O-Unit to work under me. I know this is what A-Cheng promised you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t want to be a cop, that’s fine too; finding a job and living a stable life isn’t bad either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qichang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will consider it carefully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yongren nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then that’s that. Contact me once you’re out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Lu Qichang stood up and left the correctional institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yongren was released without charge due to insufficient evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking out of the correctional institution’s gate, Chen Yongren felt a sense of rebirth. He took a deep breath of fresh air and then strode away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one kilometer after Chen Yongren had walked, a van suddenly braked hard and stopped in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Yongren?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone inside the van asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yongren looked up, just about to see who was calling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A baseball bat struck heavily on the back of Chen Yongren’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The van door opened, and five or six thugs rushed out, scrambling to stuff Chen Yongren into a sack and throw him into the vehicle, before speeding away with a heavy foot on the gas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(caad) ……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Yongren groggily woke up, he found himself in an abandoned factory building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yongren only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and couldn’t remember what had happened at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Struggling to look around, he saw over a dozen thugs surrounding him, holding various weapons, looking at him with malicious intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Yongren, you’re finally awake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a sinister male voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yongren followed the sound and saw a thin man sitting in a wheelchair; this person was Han Bin, the leader of the Hong Xing Kwai Tsing branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yongren didn’t recognize Han Bin, nor did he remember ever dealing with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who I am isn’t important; what’s important is that my younger brother died at your hands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bin said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Konglong is your brother? You’re Han Bin of Hong Xing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Han Bin say this, Chen Yongren finally reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bin snorted, looked at his legs wrapped in plaster, and said resentfully, “You Ni family brothers are really something. You killed my brother, and Ni Yongyao broke my legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that you’ve fallen into my hands, we’ll settle both old and new scores together. I’ll make you pay back double!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait! I didn’t kill Konglong; it was Lei Yaoyang’s doing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Han Bin’s state, Chen Yongren immediately explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still talking tough when you’re at death’s door? Pull out all his teeth!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Bin didn’t listen to a word Chen Yongren said and gave the order directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Brother Bin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thug stepped forward with a pair of pliers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, screams filled the factory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Family Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Ni, someone sent these things over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor reported to Ni Yongyao, holding a jar of teeth and a videotape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who sent them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yongyao said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A child of five or six; I don’t know who put them up to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, let’s see what’s inside first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yongyao ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taylor immediately put the tape into the machine, and the screen displayed the scene of Chen Yongren being tied up in the factory and tortured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Yongren? He’s out of the correctional institution?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yongyao raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ni Yongyao had long since forgotten about Chen Yongren during this time, and he didn’t even know Chen Yongren had left the correctional institution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beep, beep, beep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mobile phone suddenly rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, this is Ni Yongyao.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1023,"2026-06-16T02:23:47.289Z","2026-06-16T02:29:47.530Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b096099148e8b5bd9d91dae7597dd2053917580a0f74b62ce4aa43e39079e4b0","hong-kong-films-ni-family-boss-exploding-troops--chapter-73","hong-kong-films-ni-family-boss-exploding-troops--chapter-71",390,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhong-kong-films-ni-family-boss-exploding-troops--cover.jpg"]
