In 1991, a strange dinner party was taking place in a police station in Hong Kong, and Wong Chi Shing, as a senior inspector, sat down at a table with Han Chen, one of the five lords of the Ni family, the largest local gangster.
And the scene of the dinner is also particularly strange, compared to Han Chen's big appetite, Huang Zhicheng has never moved chopsticks. One person wants to find an opportunity to chat, but the other person only wants to eat, and the different states of the two at this table are actually doomed to the final result of this meal - fruitless.
It turned out that huang Zhicheng's purpose in inviting Han Chen was to try to rebel against Han Chen, hoping that he could become an important pawn in overthrowing the Ni family. But Han Chen's state at the dinner table also doomed him not to accept cooperation with Huang Zhicheng. However, for this result, Huang Zhicheng was also expected, in fact, his purpose of wooing Han Chen was only to add a double insurance, because he had already made private cooperation with Han Chen's wife.
On the same day, two gunshots shocked the local underworld, the leader of the Ni clique, Ni Kun, was attacked and assassinated by the killer, the news came, both black and white were greatly surprised, and the other four hall masters under Han Chen were ecstatic, because they realized that their opportunity was coming soon!
When Ni Kun was at the helm of the group, perhaps he did not want his children to suffer accidents one day in the future, or perhaps he always wanted to change the identity of the family group. Before his assassination, even though he had three sons and a daughter, none of the four children had taken over the family's underworld business. Therefore, Ni Kun's sudden death also allowed Gandhi, Guohua, Wen Zheng and other four people to see the opportunity, the Ni Group has been leaderless, and Ni Kun's children seem to be unable to support the table. In the context of no one suppressing them, it is only a matter of time before they set up another mountain or even replace the Ni Group.
It's just that they never expected that in Ni Kun's children's sequence, there was even a figure who could match or even surpass his father--Ni Yongxiao!
1. Taking advantage of Han Chen's loyalty to the Ni family, Ni Yongxiao stabilized a card.
2. Using Guohua's adultery with Gandhi's lover, ni Yongxiao grabbed the handle of the former, and Ni Yongxiao got the second card.
3. He took out 1 million worth of white powder to give to Gandhi, and planned to claim that it was found from the warehouse of the black turtle (harmonic), and a white powder business that the two of them had previously cooperated in was robbed, and the identity of the robber was unknown. And Ni Yongxiao now wants to frame the black turtle as a robber, and uses the means of bloodletting to take out his own white powder, this self-injurious style of play makes the black turtle realize that the Ni Yongxiao in front of him cannot afford to provoke. After all, in the competition for money, he was not the opponent of the Ni family.
Once he and Gandhi were suspicious of each other, the two-man alliance would be powerless against Ni Yongxiao, and with his confession, Ni Yongxiao successfully won the third card.
4, as Wen Zheng said, when the authorities showed a 3-2, the youngest of them also had to succumb, watching him also concede defeat to Ni Yongxiao, Gandhi, who had been holding on to death, could only lose.
The underworld did not expect, and Bai Dao did not expect that Ni Yongxiao, who had almost no sense of existence before, could quell the biggest mutiny of the Ni group overnight with a few phone calls. But Ni Yongxiao was not a god, he could not know the secrets of Guohua overnight, and it was impossible to quickly grasp the private transactions between Gandhi and the Black Turtle, but he could kill even overnight, and there was probably only one reason: Perhaps a long time ago, Ni Yongxiao, who had not taken over the family business on the surface, had already detected the family crisis in advance, and sent people to infiltrate the organization of the five hall lords in advance, and then found out all the secrets.
And the weakness of those four rebels was not only that they were caught in the handle, but they also realized that the Ni Yongxiao in front of them was actually a person even more difficult to deal with than Ni Kun. In the context of the inability to subvert the Ni Group, these four masters could only choose to concede defeat.
In the blink of an eye, four years had passed, and Ni Yongxiao, who had successfully ascended to the throne four years ago, had already taken a firm position at this time, and the four hall lords even had no intention of rebelling again in the face of the current situation, but at the moment when they were completely unguarded, Ni Yongxiao released a purge plan that had been planned for many years: to eliminate all the five hall lords, including Han Chen, completely control the area under the responsibility of the five hall lords, and also completely clean up all traces of crime and illegal business.
Because Ni Yongxiao at this time had a more ambitious strategy, less than two years after the return of September 7, no one could guarantee that this huge family could be hit in two years. Completely changing the identity and bleaching the composition of the family may be the only choice that the Ni family can make. Ni Yongxiao's brothers and sisters will not betray their own family, but those who have learned about the dark side of the Ni family may not necessarily kill them all, which has become a choice that Ni Yongxiao must make.
With a classic assassination, the five lords of the hall were completely destroyed overnight, and Ni Yongxiao completely controlled everything. For the next two years, under his arrangement, all the black backgrounds of his family were cleaned. Ni Yongxiao has also changed, the police adviser, Hong Kong and Macao commissioner candidates, the hat on Ni Yongxiao's head is no longer a gangster big brother, but one innocent name after another, this family seems to be able to safely transition to the 97 return.
But Han Chen's resurrection from the dead made Ni Yongxiao's efforts in vain!
Although Han Chen chose to become a tainted witness, due to his loyalty to the Ni family in his early years, plus Han Chen himself did not want to touch some death-seeking business, his grasp of the black background of the Ni family was actually not too much, according to Ni Yongxiao's lawyer, the fatal murder could not be established at all, and Ni Yongxiao squatted in the bitter kiln for several years as a triad leader at most. After coming out, Ni Yongxiao is still the eldest brother, and the Ni family will still not collapse.
But the problem is that when he becomes the big brother of the underworld again, the legal identities he has painstakingly fought for quickly disappear one by one, the candidates' quotas are canceled, the posts of the return party are retracted, and Ni Yongxiao is kicked from the white road to the sequence of the underworld. However, for Ni Yongxiao, although this loss can be called a broken bone, at least it will not kill the Ni family.
But what Ni Yongxiao did not expect was that just when he thought he still had the bottom card, a sunny thunderbolt came on the phone, and the Thai gang that had cooperated with his family for a long time and maintained a long-term friendly relationship actually launched a sneak attack behind his back, and Ni Yongxiao's family in Hawaii was all controlled by the Thai gang. Although he did not hear gunshots from the other end of the phone before Ni Yongxiao's death, from the moment he received the call, he had already guessed the end of the family's night - the door was destroyed!
This is also the core reason why Ni Yongxiao, who has always been stable, suddenly lost control of his emotions after putting down the phone, and it was not Ni Yongxiao's intention to hold Han Chen shot and killed by the police, but at that moment he had no choice, he could only use his last strength to threaten Han Chen to release people, although he also understood that all his efforts were useless.
Perhaps this is also the plot that makes the viewer least understand, and the hatred accumulated over the years makes the police represented by Huang Zhicheng bent on eliminating the Ni group, which is understandable. Han Chen, who had never betrayed the Ni clique, was assassinated by Ni Yongxiao and led to the murder of his wife, and he did have the psychology to fight back. But the Thai gang, which has always maintained close cooperation with the Ni family, why should it be anti-water at this moment? If they had not kidnapped Ni Yongxiao's family, the Ni Group might have been hit hard, but the building would never have collapsed.
Ni Yongxiao calculated everything, and did not calculate that Thailand would betray himself by helping this chess piece, so what did he do wrong in his layout for many years? And what did you overlook? The answer may be only one: he wants to clear the identity of the family!
Many years ago, although the Ni family was a well-known gangster, and the five major halls under their command monopolized a large number of protection fee business, in fact, the core source of wealth of the Ni family did not come from this, but from a shady business - white powder!
Judging from gandhi's investment in millions of white powder business, but ni Yongxiao ridiculed as only selling one bag at a time, the white powder business of the Ni family is far larger than gandhi's. So that on the day of his father's murder, Ni Yongxiao was ready to throw away 1 million white powder but did not even blink his eyes, which showed the strength of his white powder scale. But if the Ni family wants to have goods, it must have sufficient supply, so where does the source of goods come from? The answer, of course, is in the hands of the Thai gang.
This also means that whether it is the Ni Kun period or the early days of Ni Yongxiao's family, his family bought a large amount of white powder from the hands of the Thai gang, and the Ni family has become an indispensable gold lord of the Thai gang, because they have brought themselves astronomical wealth, the Thai gang has maintained close cooperation with the Ni family. So many years later, when Ni Yongxiao proposed to let the Thai gang leader kill Han Chen in Thailand, in the face of the request of the gold lord, the Thai gang also chose to agree without hesitation.
Even though Han Chen narrowly escaped the assassination, and even though the second boss in the upper position gave up the idea of killing Han Chen, in the face of the money that the Ni family continued to send, there was no reason for the second boss to live with the money. Under the comparison of interests, the Erdang family wants to cherish the friendship with Han Chen, but he cares more about the interests with Ni Yongxiao. Therefore, although he gave up killing Han Chen, he did not have the idea of helping Han Chen to avenge, and the only thing he could do was to arrange for Han Chen to live in seclusion in Thailand and be an ordinary person.
However, this relationship was broken by a series of operations by Ni Yongxiao two years later.
In those two years, Ni Yongxiao was bent on clearing the identity of the family, which meant that all the illegal business of his family must be abandoned, and the white powder business that belonged to the felony should be abandoned without hesitation. That is to say, from that moment on, the Ni family must also stop all contacts with the Thai gang and let the traces of their white powder sales disappear completely. For the Thai gang who are bent on making money, if the Ni family can send money, then their relationship will be close and boundless, but if the Ni family no longer sends them benefits, when the big market in Hong Kong will suddenly disappear, will they be willing to be hit hard? At least from this moment on, the second boss who has become the big boss will have another idea: looking for a new agent!
The Ni family wants to say goodbye to white powder, and even the identity of Ni Yongxiao's police adviser means that the family will do its best to prevent white powder from entering in the future. In order to break through this blockade, the Thai gang not only had to support a new agent, but they also had to try to eliminate the Ni family, so as to remove the obstacle of white powder entering the market again.
It is also in this context that Han Chen, who has been suspended for many years, has come back from the dead, and in order to prevent Ni Yongxiao from dying and struggling in a passive way, the Thai gang has taken advantage of Ni Yongxiao's trust to suddenly launch a sneak attack on his family. Are the Thai gang really trying to eliminate the underworld? Is it really to help Han Chen avenge his hatred? In fact, they are not, they are only for their own interests!
Is Han Chen's efforts only for revenge? At least from the fact that he dared to plant a ghost in the police force early on, this is also a person with full ambition, but his sharp edge has never been exposed. Loyalty to the Ni family has always allowed Han Chen to hide his selfish desires as much as possible, but once the two sides tear their faces and have a platform to turn over, Han Chen can only go black.
Perhaps many people have wondered, since Ni Yongxiao wants to clear the identity of the family and be a good person, why huang Zhicheng and others still refuse to let him go? The reason may be equally simple and straightforward, how can a group of people who think they are good people allow a bad person to become the same identity as themselves? The behavior of Huang Zhicheng and his superiors may not be understood simply.
The tragedy of Ni Yongxiao and his family is that they want to be a good person, but they have touched too many interests, and they have provoked not only a group of bad people, but also a group of good people.
