Chapter 177: 173 The Opportunity to Plant a Flag in New Territory, the Dead End of the PTU!

Southeast Middle School.

Mao Xiang Yang stood at the school gate.

Chen Yongren stood beside him, recounting the history of Southeast Middle School.

"This school used to be a den of iniquity."

"The students were all forming gangs, 【redacted】..."

"Later, Brother Zu bought the school and had me become the principal. At that time, Brother Zu told me that I must manage this school well and let all the students study seriously..."

"Afterward, we cooperated with the police to take down 【redacted】..."

Through Chen Yongren's detailed account, Mao Xiang Yang finally understood the transformation of Southeast Middle School.

He was both shocked by how rotten the school used to be and filled with respect for the contributions Guan Zu, Chen Yongren, and the others had made to this institution.

His recognition and favorability toward Guan Zu and Chen Yongren increased by +1, +1, +1, +1...

"Let's go, let's head in..."

Chen Yongren led Mao Xiang Yang into the school.

"Principal Chen!"

"Principal Chen!"

Teachers greeted Chen Yongren one after another.

"Good morning, Principal!"

Many students greeted Chen Yongren with bitter expressions.

Chen Yongren said, "Today is the school's first monthly exam, to test the results of your studies and extracurricular tutoring since the start of the term... The exams will last for three days. During these three days, you can write the history textbook... No problem, right? Teacher Mao?"

Mao Xiang Yang felt his sense of mission explode and shouted, "No problem, absolutely no problem!"

On the way,

Mao Xiang Yang asked curiously, "I heard you used to be a police officer?"

He had heard this inadvertently from the father of the neighbor, Ah Ying.

Mao Xiang Yang felt that he was currently acting like an undercover agent, so he was very curious about Chen Yongren's experience.

"Yeah, I used to be an undercover."

Speaking of this, Chen Yongren couldn't help but smile.

He had already received a clear hint from Guan Zu, so he didn't hide much from Mao Xiang Yang.

"When I was in the police academy, I was developed by Huang Wang Zhicheng into an undercover agent. I went undercover in several gangs and had a very hard time. I was afraid my cover would be blown, and every time I was arrested by the police, my mood was very complicated..."

"Later, I was arranged by Huang Wang Zhicheng under Brother Zu. Brother Zu quickly found out I was an undercover, but he didn't blame me. Instead, he let me return to the police force... However, everyone in the police force was wary of me. I wasn't happy working there, so I resigned."

"That's when Brother Zu called me to Southeast Middle School and told me that Southeast Middle School was too rotten and needed a good principal, asking if I was willing to take the job..."

"And then, that's how it is now..."

Mao Xiang Yang nodded.

He hadn't expected Chen Yongren to have had so many experiences, and from this, he saw even more of Guan Zu's breadth of mind and vision.

Soon,

Under Chen Yongren's guidance, Mao Xiang Yang arrived at the teachers' office.

He found several history teachers to get an understanding of the situation.

Upon seeing the textbooks, he was furious!

Mao Xiang Yang only flipped through a few pages of the Chinese history content, and he was already turning blue and white with rage.

In the history book, it was clearly the "War of Resistance Against Japan," but the British history book actually wrote it as the "War Between Two Countries"!

Mao Xiang Yang was so angry that he slammed the table with a "Bang!"

"How is this a war between two countries? This was clearly a War of Resistance Against Japan!"

"Those devils were invaders, they were criminals, and we were resisting; it had justice on its side. How can you call it a war between two countries?"

He flipped two more pages,

And saw a passage: "In the 19th century, the Victorians discovered that the 【redacted】 people smoked a lot of opium. This substance is an enemy of the world, and the Victorians are the guardians of the world. Therefore, in order to help the 【redacted】 people quit smoking and eliminate the evil of opium, they launched the Opium War."

Mao Xiang Yang slammed the table in anger again.

"What a bunch of shameless bastards!"

"Who compiled this textbook?"

"The cause of the Opium War is actually written as the Victorians waging war on our country in order to ban opium?"

Mao Xiang Yang was shaking with rage!

He was so angry at the shameless content that he laughed.

The teachers nearby, seeing Mao Xiang Yang's fierce expression and his current fury, were so scared they retreated several steps.

Because there was so little Chinese history content, Mao Xiang Yang finished flipping through ten pages, and that was it.

"So little?"

"Yes, Chinese history is just this little."

"Abominable!"

Next, Mao Xiang Yang looked at other history content, most of which was boasting about how great Victoria was, how it was the empire on which the sun never sets, and how it brought civilization to the whole world.

The more Mao Xiang Yang read, the angrier he became.

These textbooks were simply a poison that would last for generations!

Mao Xiang Yang didn't know that, in fact, last year, the Hong Kong government had already started meddling with the education system.

Just like with the Legislative Council, they devolved power and detached it from government control.

Originally, the position of Director of Education in the Hong Kong government was higher than other directors and was the most important position in the colonial government.

But starting last year, they established a "Curriculum Development Council," stipulating that it must be staffed by people outside the education system, and the Education Department could not intervene.

Subsequently, there was university autonomy, which the Education Department couldn't supervise.

In terms of examinations, they established an Examination Authority, and the Education Department couldn't manage that either.

In short, it was all about detaching from the control of the Education Department and becoming "free."

If Mao Xiang Yang knew about this, he would probably be so angry he'd vomit blood.

However, this textbook alone was enough to make him furious.

Therefore,

He felt the sense of mission on his shoulders even more!

It was incredibly heavy!

He must popularize the national history for all students, as well as that tragic history of national humiliation, so they would know the treachery of Victoria.

That night,

He stayed up all night, anger and mission keeping him in the school office, writing the textbook.

Although it was very difficult, he had made up his mind to do it well.

In a flash, three days passed.

Southeast Middle School and other middle schools in Wan Chai welcomed the end of the monthly exams.

After the results came out, all the parents received the report cards from the school.

When the results were out, all the parents were pleasantly surprised.

"Haha~~ My son usually only gets 20 points, but this time he actually got 60..."

"Great, my daughter's math was always failing, but this monthly exam she actually got 85, it's really unexpected!"

"Look at this report card, my boy's math actually ranked in the top three of the class, it's never been like this before!"

"Unbelievable, my baby's physics grade was always 10 or 20, this time it's actually 50!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this kid really gave me a big surprise..."

The extracurricular tutoring had shown significant results.

Especially at Southeast Middle School, with the combination of school and extracurricular tutoring, the results were particularly prominent, with the students' average score rising directly from 22 to 64.

"Hahaha~~~"

At the home of Wan Chai police officer Cun Niu, Cun Niu looked at his son's report card, with a total average score as high as 93 (out of 100), ranking 6th in the grade!

He was so pleasantly surprised that he couldn't help but laugh loudly, shaking the neighbors.

"My son has a future!"

"6th in the grade!"

Soon, all the neighbors came out; those with children were incredibly envious, and those without children offered congratulations one after another.

Cun Niu roared: "Brother Zu is awesome!"

He was filled with admiration and respect for Guan Zu, bowing down to him!

If it weren't for Guan Zu changing the educational status quo in Wan Chai, his son would probably be ruined. But now, he could completely get into one of Hong Kong's top eight universities!...

And at this time,

Guan Zu was having a meal with Huang Bingyao in a hotel in Western District.

Huang Bingyao told Guan Zu some good news: the counterfeit banknote group had been dealt with, and the British Commissioner John had traveled abroad several times to promote the prowess of the Hong Kong police force.

And Huang Bingyao, as the greatest contributor, naturally received great benefits.

And as it happened, because the British District Commander of the Hong Kong Island Headquarters was in poor health and spent most of his time in the hospital, this was also the reason why Huang Bingyao hadn't been restrained and could do big things.

Originally, this British commander was occupying the latrine but not producing anything, just wanting to get benefits.

This time, Huang Bingyao made a great contribution, allowing the British Commissioner to show off all over the world, so the British Commissioner prepared to kick the British District Commander away and let Huang Bingyao take over.

Once he became the District Commander, Huang Bingyao could logically be promoted to Assistant Commissioner of Police.

"If there are no accidents, this will be confirmed in half a month."

"Then I will congratulate District Commander Huang in advance... No, it should be Commissioner Huang!"

!.

"Hahaha~~~~"

And at this time,

Guan Zu's system also sent a notification:

"Your extracurricular tutoring school has significantly improved the grades of Wan Chai students in this monthly exam..."

"Your actions have earned the loyal gratitude of the vast number of parents in Wan Chai!"

"You have received the following rewards:"

"Reward 1: Wan Chai support rate +2% (Total 38%)"

"Reward 2: 'Injury Recovery Acceleration Card'!"

Guan Zu's eyes lit up when he saw Reward 2!

This was a good thing!

At this time, Huang Bingyao mentioned another matter: "Recently, in the Central and Western District (from east to west: Central (the most prosperous in Hong Kong), Sheung Wan (slightly prosperous), Western District (a bit worse)), something happened, and I want you to do me a favor..."

Guan Zu became serious: "Please speak."

Huang Bingyao said: "Starting last month, in Shek Tong Tsui in the Western District, two gangs, one is Wo Hop Hing and the other is Wo Luen She, have been acting more and more out of line, and then a boss died, so the Central and Western District Police Station started sweeping their venues, making these two gangs close their doors..."

Guan Zu nodded.

The territory of Chen Yao, the strategist of the Hung Hing gang, was in the Western District.

The Western District, from east to west, is: Sai Ying Pun — Shek Tong Tsui — Kennedy Town.

Chen Yao's territory is in "Sai Ying Pun," which used to be a military camp and is now a prosperous commercial area. It was mentioned in the movie "Cold War": Lau Kit-fai took Lee Ka-chun into the Sai Ying Pun MTR station; this station is 80 meters deep and is the second deepest MTR station in Hong Kong.

As for "Kennedy Town," it is the most western and remote, basically not many people live there, and it has a lot of nuisance facilities: such as incinerators, cement plants, slaughterhouses, mortuaries, and waste transfer stations. Generally, big gangs don't look at this place.

As for the "Shek Tong Tsui" that Huang Bingyao just mentioned, it is one of the classic old urban areas in Hong Kong, with a more obvious aging population, and it is also a very classic red-light district.

Therefore, the oil and water here are still okay, and there are two gangs, Wo Hop Hing and Wo Luen She, entrenched here.

Guan Zu: "I don't know what you want me to do, Brother Yao?"

Huang Bingyao: "Recently, the Central and Western District Police Station swept these two gangs, and those gangsters have no income, so they started robbing houses, robbing people on the street, and even committing injury and murder cases." (From the movie "PTU: Dead End")

"So, I thought of a way, why don't you send your people here and take over this territory. I trust your people."

When Guan Zu heard this, this wasn't asking for a favor; this was giving him territory.

Directly giving him "Shek Tong Tsui."

Moreover, what kind of place is Shek Tong Tsui?

It's in the Central and Western District!

This area has 2 Legislative Council seats.

If he could take this place, it would be equivalent to Guan Zu having "Hong Kong Island East," "Hong Kong Island Central and Western," and "Kowloon Central," three electoral districts, totaling 6 Legislative Council seats, directly occupying one-third of the seats for directly elected Legislative Council members.

This gift from Huang Bingyao was big enough!

However, Guan Zu hesitated: "But... we who are in the gangs have to be famous for our actions. If I rush to plant a flag here, the justification isn't enough..."

Huang Bingyao smiled: "I believe in you, Brother Zu, that you can find a way."

And at this time,

Shek Tong Tsui, a certain house.

Blind Fai took the 50,000 reward for taking the fall and returned to his residence, placing the money in front of his sleeping girlfriend, Siu Wai. (From "PTU: Dead End")

Siu Wai woke up.

"Where did this money come from?"

This 50,000 reward was given to him by the Wo Hop Hing boss, Smoke-Ash Lok, to go to the police station and turn himself in, taking the fall for the killer, Fire-Blast.

The cause of the incident was that Blind Fai went to sell smuggled cigarettes, but the rival gang Wo Luen She's Goose-Head refused to pay, and then the PTU officer Lee Wing-fai forced Blind Fai to trick Goose-Head (Sang-Kwan's subordinate) into opening the smuggled cigarette warehouse, catching Goose-Head. Sang-Kwan went to settle the score with Smoke-Ash Lok, and finally had a conflict with Fire-Blast. Fire-Blast then took the opportunity of Sang-Kwan chasing Blind Fai to kill Sang-Kwan, throwing him downstairs, right in front of Fat Sha, who had just been transferred to the Central and Western District Police Station a month ago.

A murder case appeared, and the police finally found an excuse for a large-scale sweep, then constantly swept the venues of Wo Hop Hing and Wo Luen She, bars, gambling dens, brothels, all swept clean.

Both gangs suffered heavy losses.

Many younger brothers ran to rob streets and houses, and for a time, the entire Shek Tong Tsui was in chaos.

And the police were naturally very angry and swept even harder.

The two gangs couldn't take it anymore, sat up and cursed, wanting to hand over the killer Fire-Blast to give the police an explanation.

The killer Fire-Blast naturally refused, and the boss Smoke-Ash Lok also refused, fearing that Fire-Blast would implicate him when the time came, and he would be finished.

So, Smoke-Ash Lok took 50,000 and gave it to Blind Fai, telling him to go to the police station to take the fall.

"Don't go, okay?"

His girlfriend Siu Wai begged.

"Every man wants to sleep with me, only you are good to me... I don't want you to go to jail..."

Siu Wai was a woman who had been smuggled in and sold to a brothel, having seen all kinds of ugly men; Blind Fai, although mentally challenged, was truly good to her.

And Blind Fai? He was also very miserable; gangsters bullied him, beat him, and the police also beat him. The most miserable thing was that police officers like Lee Wing-fai, in order to destroy the gangsters' dens, deliberately let Blind Fai go upstairs to knock on the door.

In the end, Blind Fai was used by these people and kicked away. And the gangsters thought he had betrayed them and tortured him in every possible way.

Blind Fai and Siu Wai were both at the very bottom of society, always relying on each other, having gained comfort from each other in this dark, powerless, desperate, and suffocating world; otherwise, both of them would have committed suicide in despair long ago.

"Don't go, let's leave this place."

Siu Wai cried.

Blind Fai smiled bitterly: "Leave? I grew up in Shek Tong Tsui since I was a child, where can I go?"

Siu Wai said: "A woman, follow a man for a lifetime... This time, listen to me, okay?"

Finally, Blind Fai: "Okay!"

The two picked up the money and prepared to leave, but just then...

A group of people broke in.

Fire-Blast, and several younger brothers.

"Damn it, I knew you would run!"

"Can you run?"

"Told you to take the fall, and you still want to run?"

Fire-Blast laughed crazily: "Beat him! Beat him hard!"

Several younger brothers punched and kicked Blind Fai.

And Fire-Blast, in the room, did...

8:30 PM...

Guan Zu finished his meal with Huang Bingyao and left the hotel.

Passing through Shek Tong Tsui.

In the car, Guan Zu looked at the streets of Shek Tong Tsui: "Ah Sing, Ah Fu, you say, what excuse should we find to plant a flag in Shek Tong Tsui?"

Ah Sing said: "How about a bitter meat scheme... find one of our own, cause trouble here? Then get beaten up? That way we have a reason to take action."

This move had once trapped Big D.

A lame man from Castle Peak Road ran to Tsuen Wan to cause trouble, didn't report his name, and was beaten by Big D's men. Later, when Big D was competing for the position of gang leader, the uncles used this to attack Big D. Later, reviewing it, it was suspected to be Lok's doing.

Just then...

"Wait..."

Suddenly Guan Zu saw through the dark night street that a woman was dragging a man with a bed sheet, struggling to move forward on the road, and there was a lot of blood between her legs.

This scene was very familiar.

Isn't this Blind Fai and his girlfriend Siu Wai?

"Ah Sing, stop the car!"

"PTU: Dead End," many book friends said they wanted me to write this...
