Reborn in Hong Kong Island, I can see loyalty

Chapter 629 Japanese Spies in the Shadows, Sweeping Away the Remnants

The night sky was like ink spilled across Hong Kong Island. Sasaki Miho, wearing a black trench coat, was hidden in the shadows of an alleyway at the entrance of a Japanese restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui.

She held a miniature camera between her fingers, the lens pointed at the window of the Japanese restaurant on the second floor—inside, a secret meeting was taking place. Several Japanese men in suits sat around a table, speaking fluent Japanese, occasionally interspersed with a few words of Hong Kong dialect, their eyes revealing a sharp, malicious intent.

As the person most skilled at keeping an eye on Japanese forces around Ye Haoxuan, Sasaki Miho has recently felt that there is an unfamiliar Japanese force active in Hong Kong.

She followed the clues for a week and finally located this seemingly ordinary Japanese restaurant, only to unexpectedly uncover their collusion with local gang members.

The camera shutter clicked silently, capturing the documents on the table and the faces of the people on it.

Sasaki Miho could see clearly that the document bore the old logo of Tung Sing, along with several maps showing the Hong Kong Island piers and commercial districts—clearly a plot to infiltrate the area. She quietly retreated, turning and disappearing into the deeper night, her fingers gripping the mobile phone in her pocket tightly—she had to get the news to Ye Haoxuan and Shui Ling as soon as possible.

At the same time, in the study of the Hung Hing triad, Shui Ling was frowning as she looked at a list of the remaining forces of the Tung Sing triad.

The list was compiled by Tony, and it listed the members who were still lurking in Hong Kong after the destruction of Tung Sing. Three of the names were circled in red with the note "suspected of having contact with Japanese forces".

"These people are truly incorrigible." Shui Ling traced the list with her fingertips, her eyes icy.

She was once the leader of Tung Sing and knows best what the internal workings of Tung Sing are like. These lurking remnants are most likely trying to make a comeback with the support of Japanese forces.

The cell phone suddenly rang; it was Sasaki Miho calling, her tone urgent yet calm:

“Sister Shui Ling, there’s a secret meeting between Japanese forces and remnants of the Tung Sing gang at the ‘Sakura no Ya’ Japanese restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui. They have maps of the pier and commercial district, and they seem to be trying to infiltrate Hong Kong Island.”

Shui Ling's eyes darkened: "I understand. Keep an eye on things, but don't expose yourself. I'll send someone over immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Shui Ling immediately dialed Crow's number:

"Crow, assemble your men immediately at the Sakura no Ya Japanese Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui. Crack down on the remnants of the Tung Sing gang and their Japanese spies. Be quick, don't let them get away!"

Having spent many years with the Tung Sing, Crow knew the habits of the remnants of Tung Sing very well. Upon receiving the order, he immediately gathered twenty Hung Hing core members and headed straight for Tsim Sha Tsui with his weapons.

Half an hour later, the area around the Sakura no Ya Japanese restaurant had been quietly surrounded by the core members of Hung Hing.

Sasaki Miho stepped out of the alley and made a gesture to the crow:

"In the private room on the second floor, there are five Japanese men, three of whom are remnants of the Tung Sing gang, and they may have weapons."

The crow nodded, signaling its subordinates to split into two groups:

"Group one, guard the main entrance and back door, don't let anyone in or out; Group two, come upstairs with me, let's rush in!"

He kicked open the door to the private room, pointing the steel pipe in his hand directly into the room:

"When Hung Hing is doing something, you all better squat down obediently!"

The people in the private room panicked instantly. One of the remnants of the East Star gang was none other than Ah Bao, a small leader who had previously escaped capture. He grabbed a bottle from the table and tried to fight back, but Crow smashed his wrist with a steel pipe. The bottle crashed to the ground, shards flying everywhere.

The Japanese men also tried to draw their guns, but Sasaki Miho had already circled behind them, holding a short knife to the throat of the man in front.

"Don't move, or you'll die."

Her Japanese was fluent and cold, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

These Japanese forces, though seemingly arrogant, had never experienced a real gang fight. Intimidated by Sasaki Miho's imposing presence, they all put down their weapons and obediently squatted down.

The crow ordered everyone to be tied up and the list checked one by one:

"Ah Bao, I didn't expect you to dare collude with outsiders. Dongxing has already been destroyed, and you still want to cause trouble?"

Ah Bao's face was deathly pale, but he still stubbornly insisted on saying:

"Crow, don't be so smug. When my Japanese friends come to save me, you will all die!"

"Your Japanese friends?" Crow sneered, kicking a Japanese man next to him. "They can't even protect themselves, how can they save you? Tell me honestly, how do you plan to infiltrate Hong Kong? Do you have any other accomplices?"

Ah Bao pursed his lips and remained silent, his eyes full of resistance.

Sasaki Miho crouched down and spoke to the Japanese men in Japanese:

"You're a branch of the Yamaguchi-gumi, aren't you? You secretly infiltrated Hong Kong Island, colluded with local gangs, and wanted to cause trouble? I advise you to confess honestly, otherwise your families may be implicated."

The Japanese men's expressions changed, and they exchanged glances, clearly realizing that their sore spot had been hit.

One of the leaders hesitated for a moment before speaking:

“We are the ‘Sakura Society’ from Japan, ordered to infiltrate Hong Kong Island. We want to control some of the docks and commercial areas through the remnants of the Tung Sing triad, paving the way for future arms deals. We also have a few accomplices hiding in a guesthouse in Wan Chai.”

Crow immediately had someone report this news to Shui Ling, and at the same time arranged for people to go to the Wan Chai B&B to arrest the remaining accomplices.

Miho Sasaki continued her interrogation:

"How long have you been cooperating with the remnants of the Tung Sing regime? Are there any other Japanese spies operating in Hong Kong?"

“We’ve been working together for a month,” the Japanese man in charge confessed truthfully. “We also have three informants in Hong Kong, all owners of Japanese restaurants and foreign trade companies, who are responsible for gathering intelligence.”

Meanwhile, after receiving the message, Shui Ling immediately contacted Tony:

"Tony, investigate the 'Yue Lai B&B' in Wan Chai, as well as three Japanese-owned shops in Tsim Sha Tsui and Wan Chai: the 'Sakura no Ya' Japanese restaurant, the 'Fuji' foreign trade company, and the 'Osaka' general store. These are all strongholds of Japanese forces. Have the brothers shut them down as soon as possible."

Tony replied, "Understood, I'll arrange for someone to go right away."

Shui Ling hung up the phone and dialed Ye Haoxuan's number to report the situation:

"Haoxuan, we have captured a group of remnants of the Tung Sing faction who were colluding with Japanese forces. They are the Sakura Society of the Yamaguchi-gumi and they wanted to infiltrate the Hong Kong Island docks and business districts. We have already taken control of the main members and are now arresting the remaining accomplices and informants."
