Victoria Harbour is vast and picturesque, with the Kwai Chung Container Terminal, one of the world's largest container shipping hubs, located in the northwestern part of the harbour. From sunrise to sunset, bustling ferries shuttle between the north and south shores, while fishing boats, cruise ships, sightseeing vessels, and massive ten-thousand-ton freighters—their sirens blaring—weave together a magnificent tapestry of maritime prosperity.
At the same time, the coastline of Victoria Harbour is exceptionally long, far too extensive to be fully monitored or defended. Thus, the harbour serves as a natural port for smuggling operations. Nighttime, especially the early hours of the morning, provides the perfect natural window for these illicit transactions. Without precise intelligence, it is impossible to know where a deal might be taking place. With such a vast shoreline, who could possibly keep watch everywhere? It is simply impossible. Consequently, combating smuggling—especially the trafficking of narcotics—has become a massive headache for the police.
This very night, Liao Zhizong received definitive intelligence: the people from Chung Sing Yee would be coming ashore in a remote area on the northwest side of Victoria Harbour, quite a distance from the Kwai Chung Terminal.
