【001】After 3 years undercover, you say I'm not a policeman?
Tsim Sha Tsui.
Zhuoneng Center.
Rooftop.
"Ah Wen, I know you have grievances in your heart, but there's no other way. For the sake of the police force, some sacrifices are necessary."
'???'
Lin Haowen was a little confused. He was a mercenary who specialized in helping people solve their problems. He had just killed his target and completed his mission a second ago, and the next second he found himself in this unfamiliar place, listening to this bald middle-aged man talking nonsense.
At this moment, a memory surfaced in Lin Haowen's mind: the life experience of a 23-year-old Hong Kong Island youth also named Lin Haowen.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Lin Haowen came to his senses. He realized that he had entered a Hong Kong variety show world composed of many Hong Kong films.
In this world, there are triads such as Hung Hing, Tung Sing, and Wo Luen Shing, as well as figures like Han Chen, Chan Wing-yan, and Wong Chi-shing. Lin Hao-wen's identity in this world is that of an undercover agent under Wong Chi-shing... no, to be precise, an informant.
Three years ago, Lin Haowen was selected by Huang Zhicheng at the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy and went undercover under Han Chen.
For three whole years, Lin Haowen lived in a state of high tension every day, risking exposure several times to pass on intelligence to Huang Zhicheng.
And what did Huang Zhicheng give him in return? Countless empty promises and three whole years of deception.
Just today, Huang Zhicheng told him that after Lin Haowen was expelled from the police academy, his police registration had been cancelled. He, Lin Haowen, was not a policeman, but just an informant under Huang Zhicheng.
In fact, if it weren't for protecting the real undercover agent Chen Yongren and exposing Lin Haowen's identity, Huang Zhicheng would have kept deceiving Lin Haowen for who knows how long.
Sure enough, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. What a fine yellow dog!
Huang Zhicheng subconsciously avoided Lin Haowen's gaze, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. But then, his gaze hardened again as he looked at Lin Haowen: "Awen, I didn't mean to lie to you. I only recently found out that your police registration was revoked. Don't worry, once I've settled Han Chen's case, I'll definitely help you find out the truth and get justice."
Huang Zhicheng genuinely didn't know why Lin Haowen's police registration had been revoked, but he knew he had to get Lin Haowen to cooperate with his plan and cover for Chen Yongren's continued undercover work. So, he continued to make promises to Lin Haowen.
"Officer Wong, I've been undercover for three years, and now you're telling me I'm not a cop? Do I have to say 'thank you, sir' to you?"
Ignoring Lin Haowen's sarcastic remark, Huang Zhicheng continued, "Ah Wen, listen carefully. There's a mole in the police force belonging to Han Chen. He's been investigating our undercover agents within Han Chen's ranks. I'll create a loophole so he can find you..."
At this point, Huang Zhicheng handed the briefcase he was carrying to Lin Haowen: "I've already arranged a ship for you to leave Hong Kong Island. You'll be leaving tonight. Here's HK$200,000, which should be enough for you to get by abroad for a while."
He didn't finish his sentence. Han Chen would find out which ship Lam Ho-man left Hong Kong Island, and then Lam Ho-man would "accidentally" die in a shootout between the police and Han Chen's men. Only in this way could Han Chen, that old fox, be completely dispelled and Chan Wing-yan protected.
In Huang Zhicheng's view, destroying Han Chen was more important than anything else. As for Lin Haowen's sacrifice?
As he just said, some sacrifices are necessary for the police force.
"Officer Wong, can I interpret this 200,000 as payment for my three years of service as an informant for the police force?"
Lin Haowen smiled and accepted the briefcase Huang Zhicheng handed him. At that very moment, a mysterious voice echoed in Lin Haowen's mind.
"Host has been detected to have acquired HKD 200,000. Would you like to recharge for a lottery draw? Beginner lottery draw, each draw costs HKD 10,000."
As the mysterious voice faded, a lottery disc resembling a Russian roulette appeared in Lin Haowen's line of sight. Lin Haowen first glanced at Huang Zhicheng, whose expression remained unchanged, and after confirming that only he could see the lottery disc, he silently recited in his mind: "Recharge 10,000 Hong Kong dollars."
Lin Haowen decided to check the 'quality' of the lottery wheel before deciding whether to continue topping up his account.
"Recharge successful. You can draw a reward once from the beginner's lottery wheel. Do you want to start the lottery?"
The system's voice sounded again.
"Yes."
The lottery wheel immediately started spinning, and soon the system's voice sounded again: "Congratulations, host, you have won a beginner-level power voucher. Would you like to use it?"
"use!"
As soon as Lin Haowen had this thought, a warm current flowed through his body, and then Lin Haowen clearly felt that his strength had been slightly enhanced.
At the same time, an attribute panel also appeared in Lin Haowen's field of vision.
Name: Lin Haowen;
Cumulative lottery points: 10000 / 1000000;
Strength: 10.2 (10 for a normal adult male);
Agility: 10.1 (10 for a normal adult male);
Physical fitness: 10 (10 for a normal adult male);
Skill: Shooting (Beginner) (260/300);
Grappling (Beginner) (287/300);
Driving (Beginner) (269/300).
Seeing his attribute panel, Lin Haowen felt a slight tremor in his heart. His physical attributes belonged to this body, but his skills were something he brought to this world.
Although Lin Haowen wasn't a top-tier mercenary, he had received professional training. He hadn't expected that all three skills were only at the beginner level. It seemed that the skills provided by this system would be quite powerful.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Haowen continued to deposit all 190,000 Hong Kong dollars into the lottery.
"Congratulations, host, you have won a Beginner Power Voucher. Would you like to use it?"
"Congratulations, host, you have won a Beginner Agility Voucher. Would you like to use it?"
……
In nineteen draws, Lin Haowen won four beginner strength vouchers, three beginner agility vouchers, three beginner stamina vouchers, and nine beginner skill points.
After using these rewards, Lin Haowen's attribute panel changed slightly, which made him realize that a beginner attribute scroll could increase attribute points by 0.1, while a beginner skill point voucher could increase skill points by ten.
Name: Lin Haowen;
Cumulative lottery points: 200000 / 1000000;
Strength: 10.6;
Agility: 10.4;
Physical fitness: 10.3;
Skill: Shooting (Intermediate) (300/1000);
Grappling (Intermediate) (307/1000);
Driving (Beginner) (299/300).
Although the attribute points only increased by a fraction of a point, Lin Haowen clearly felt that his combat strength had increased by more than a little bit. In addition, his grappling skills had been upgraded from beginner to intermediate. Now he could at least fight three times his pre-lottery self.
Sure enough, this system is really awesome.
Just then, Huang Zhicheng's voice reached Lin Haowen's ears: "Ah Wen, whether you consider this money as an informant fee or my compensation to you, as long as you live a good life after leaving Hong Kong Island, I will be at peace."
Huang Zhicheng looked sincere, as if he was genuinely thinking of Lin Haowen. His reaction led Lin Haowen to suspect that the time spent using the system to draw a lottery was unrelated to the time outside.
"Officer Wong, have you really done all this just to bring Han Chen to justice?"
Lin Haowen's sudden question startled Huang Zhicheng for a moment, but he quickly realized what he meant and nodded emphatically, "Yes!"
The image of Lu Qichang being blown up in the car flashed through Huang Zhicheng's mind. He wouldn't be able to die in peace until he had completely wiped out Han Chen and his gang.
"So, Inspector Wong, you're willing to do anything to get Han Chen on your side?"
A smile appeared on Lin Haowen's face, and as he spoke, he walked up to Huang Zhicheng.
