Chen Fei transmigrates to the Hong Kong crime-film world of 1992, only to wake up caught in a setup.
The man who arrests him is none other than Sir Shek from The Unrepentant.
That’s when Chen Fei discovers he’s actually Kwun’s goon, and that he used Kwun’s fire extinguisher. Sir Shek has caught him with a perfect handle.
Sir Shek: “Chen Fei, you wouldn’t want your womanizing ways getting out, would you?”
“I’ve got a job for you. Go become Hung Hing’s leader. You in?”
Chen Fei: “You had me at ‘job.’ Why didn’t you say so sooner? It’s a deal!”
At that moment, the Brotherhood System activates. As long as he does something loyal to his friends, he’ll earn rewards.
System: “The Host has performed the noble deed of escorting a buddy’s wife a thousand miles. Reward granted.”
Chen Fei: “Does escorting her to bed count?”
From then on, with the mainland backing him, Chen Fei rises to the top.
He tramples Chicken, beats up Ho Nam, kicks Chiang Tin-sang out of the way, and becomes Hung Hing’s leader in one fell swoop.
He makes movies, builds a logistics business, recruits tough guys and bosses, swallows Tung Sing and takes over Wo On Lok, until he controls the whole of Hong Kong Island.
“You think I’m a gangster?”
“Wrong. I’m an undercover cop.”
“You think I’m a cop?”
“Wrong again. I’m actually a businessman.”
