Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 234 A shocking case
The Asian Ice Queen comes from the movie "Flying Tigers".

Chen Jiajun recalled the details of the movie "Flying Tigers" and shook his head: "As far as I know, Wang Dong should not have it, but the other party has infiltrated some legislators and high-ranking police officers in Hong Kong. For example, Lu Mingzhu, who was targeting me some time ago, is one of their people."

The head of the operations department, Yan Liguo, previously worked for the CIA and has some connections with them. I'm not sure whether they've been infiltrated.

That's why I sent you here secretly. I need your help. If you're afraid to touch this case, leave now and pretend you know nothing. I can handle it myself.

"It is our duty as a police station to maintain the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong society; it is our mission."

Hu Zhuoren immediately expressed his opinion.

Li Shutang also said, "Mr. Chen, this case..."

"Don't agree so quickly. You two can't handle this case alone. Go back and test Commissioner Han Yi-ri. If he's also been infiltrated, just tell me as soon as possible, and I'll cooperate with them to complete the deal."

Chen Jiajun waved his hand, interrupting Li Shutang.

“Sir Chen, this is an insult to us,” Li Shutang stood up, his face flushed, and retorted loudly.

"This is not an insult. I don't trust foreigners, and you should understand that."

Chen Jiajun looked at Li Shutang and said jokingly.

Li Shutang was speechless for a moment.

Chen Jiajun continued, "Also, Yan Liguo, the head of the Operations Division, must be excluded no matter what. In addition, do not leak any information about Vincent being a drug dealer. On the surface, he is the commander of the U.S. Navy's anti-drug squad."

“Sir Chen, I understand what you mean.”

Li Shutang stopped arguing and instead started thinking about the problem from the perspective of solving a case: "After we go back, we will communicate with Brother Han Yili, and we will visit you again the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Furthermore, excluding Yan Liguo means he is the highest-ranking officer in this major operation. After the case is solved, the next Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong will be…

"Congratulations in advance, Director Li Shutang of the Police Department," Chen Jiajun said, raising his teacup with a meaningful expression.

Although it was said that the latest would be the day after tomorrow, in reality, early the next morning, Han Yili dressed in plain clothes, drove an inconspicuous car, and brought Li Shutang to see Chen Jiajun.

As soon as Han Yili entered the manor gate, he could clearly see a huge Siberian tiger tied up in the yard.

"Pounce on the street."

Despite the obvious illegality of the act, Han Yili couldn't do anything to Chen Jiajun.

He knew Chen Jiajun's style of doing things very well; the other party must have already obtained the breeding license through some lawyers.

"Director Han." Chen Jiajun smiled and shook hands with Han Yili.

“Sir Chen.” Han Yili gently shook Chen Jiajun’s hand.

After they were seated, Han Yili couldn't wait to ask, "Sir Chen, I'd like to ask, under what circumstances did you come into contact with the other party?"

"It was Fatty Li who invited me over..."

Chen Jiajun briefly recounted what happened that day, without omitting the fact that he killed Lü Mingzhu and Lü Qinghong.

After finishing his speech, Chen Jiajun said with righteous indignation, "As for Councilor Lu Mingzhu and Barrister Lu Qinghong, since they are on the other side's side, under those circumstances, I had no choice but to eliminate them to avoid any unnecessary mistakes in future operations."

Han Yili's face flushed red and then turned pale. To be honest, he really wanted to bring Chen Jiajun to justice, but he just couldn't do it.

Moreover, given Chen Jiajun's notorious reputation, killing two councilors connected to drug lords is nothing; Chen Jiajun even drew a gun in front of him.

Flop!

Han Yili cursed inwardly, but said understandingly, "I know, Sir Chen, you have always been a man who hates evil. Are you confident that you can lure Vincent and the Ice Queen to Hong Kong for a face-to-face transaction?"

"Of course, I will keep you informed during this period. Also, I would like to obtain an 'immunity order for criminal activity' issued by the Department of Justice. I need about thirty of them. My bodyguards will also be involved in this operation."

Chen Jiajun put forward his conditions.

"Do you need me to get you a few more legal gun possession permits?" Han Yili rolled her eyes.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "No need, I've already taken care of it."

During the British colonial period in Hong Kong, most security companies' bodyguards were not allowed to carry firearms. Only security companies run by foreign high-ranking officials who came from the police force could obtain gun licenses.

Chen Jiajun had already acquired a security company founded by foreigners, and the bodyguards who are responsible for protecting him are all licensed to carry firearms.

"We'll talk about that later. I'm asking you, where did you get the information that Yan Liguo has some connection with the other party?" Han Yili asked a question.

"Yan Liguo once trained at the CIA, Brother Yi, you don't know that the CIA is one of the world's largest drug trafficking organizations, do you?"

"Given the scale of this operation, you will also need the support of Interpol, so to avoid leaks, Yan Liguo must be excluded."

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, his tone somewhat mocking Han Yili's naivety.

"Okay, this operation excludes him. What are the requirements for the remaining 30 [Immunity to Prosecute Criminal Activities Orders]?"

Han Yili ignored the sarcasm in Chen Jiajun's tone.

Chen Jiajun thought for a moment and added, "I need to gain their trust to provide proof of a $30 billion deposit from HSBC or UBS."

"OK. We'll head back now. Let us know if there's any news."

Han Yili stood up and shook hands with Chen Jiajun.

“Of course.” Chen Jiajun nodded.

On the way back to the police station, Li Shutang seemed to remember something and asked, "Brother Yi, should we plant someone around Chen Jiajun?"

"No need. If he really wants to cheat, we can't guard against it at all. It's better to be open and honest."

Don't worry, based on his past style, since he took the initiative to ask to cooperate with us, there's definitely no problem.

This operation is under the highest level of secrecy. You are absolutely forbidden from revealing Vincent's identity to anyone.

Han Yili shook her head.

"Yes." Li Shutang nodded as he drove.

Han Yili added, "Furthermore, the operation codenamed 'Dragon Slayer' is cancelled. From now on, any action targeting Sir Chen or his company must first obtain my approval."

"Yes." Li Shutang nodded again.

Han Yili added, "What do you think would be the most suitable code name for this operation?"

"Since she's the Queen of Ice in Asia, let's name her 'Cold War'."

After pondering for a moment, Li Shutang said.

“Cold War... Not a bad name, let’s call it ‘Cold War’.” Han Yi thought to himself as he pulled out a white Marlboro cigarette.

At the Chen Family Manor, Chen Jiajun watched Han Yili and Li Shutang's car disappear into Repulse Bay Road, a barely perceptible smile on his face.

Since some people want to turn Hong Kong into a distribution center for Southeast Asia, then... don't blame Chen Jiajun for using ice jelly to open the door to America.

Imperialism's sugar-coated bullets—you have to swallow the sugar, but you have to throw the bullets back.

This aligns with his style of doing things and also with his interests.

Who told him to go broke lately? He owes HSBC a total of HK$95 billion, damn it.

In the week following his meeting with Han Yili and Li Shutang, Chen Jiajun, who had officially stepped down as the leader of Hung Hing, lived a leisurely life every day.

After breakfast, I'll go to the film company to inspect the set.

At noon, I would meet with Fok Ying-nam, Pau Yuk-kong, and other Chinese businessmen to chat, drink tea, play tennis, and kick a football.

I spend my evenings in the office, organizing the current business.

Of course, he also inevitably spent time on the phone with Guan Jiahui, Lu Yongyu, and others.

A week later, on a bright afternoon, Chen Jiajun was playing chess at He Xin's house when a phone call came in.

"Hello, who is it?" Chen Jiajun answered the phone as he sat opposite He Xin.

"Sir Chen, many people call me the Ice Queen," a woman's sweet voice rang out.

"Hello." Chen Jiajun raised an eyebrow upon hearing the name.

"I would like to see you. Should I come to your residence, or go out to sea?" the Ice Queen asked bluntly.

"Let's go out to sea, where shall I meet you?" "Victoria Harbour."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun conceded defeat for the first time: "There's a big deal to discuss, next time."

He Xin, who won his first chess match against Chen Jiajun, said triumphantly, "Young man, you can't rush things."

……

"Sir Chen".

"Queen of Ice, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please take good care of me."

In Victoria Harbour, the Ice Queen stepped off a yacht and shook hands with Chen Jiajun.

No one would have guessed that the dignified Asian Ice Queen would be a stunningly beautiful woman under thirty years old, with fair skin and dressed in an all-black leather outfit.

There were dozens of foreigners wearing sunglasses around me; they were clearly well-trained.

"Please follow me." After boarding the yacht, it slowly sailed out of Victoria Harbour.

Chen Jiajun looked around the cabin and asked, "Where's Vincent?"

“He’s in the United States. Before we make the deal, he’ll come to Hong Kong and stay at the Hong Kong Police Station for a few days as a member of the Navy’s anti-drug squad to ensure that our deal can be completed smoothly.”

As she spoke, Ice Queen handed Chen Jiajun a maritime telephone, saying, "This is the maritime telephone we use for contact. Vincent will contact you right away."

After saying that, the Ice Queen left the cabin.

The bell rings.

Chen Jiajun answered the phone and preemptively asked, "Vincent, is there any progress on what you promised me?"

"Ahem, Sir Chen, could we change the terms? For example, a large ranch in America, and you and your brother could immigrate to America smoothly. What do you think?"

Vincent was slightly embarrassed, after all, he had made a guarantee back then.

It was impossible for Vincent, a mere nobody, to handle this matter. Chen Jiajun had long had this in mind, and he could take advantage of the situation to make a scene.

He cursed angrily, "Damn it, what did you promise me? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

American ranches are so impressive, huh? You think I can't afford them? American green cards are so great, huh? You think I can't get one?

"Fuck your mother! Doing business with you foreigners is such a hassle. If you couldn't handle it, you should have told me sooner."

"Ahem, Sir Chen, that's not how it's said. How about this, we'll trade this at market price, and we'll give you a 10% discount."

Vincent, who was incompetent, decided to offer a 10% discount. Little did he know that Chen Jiajun had decided to take at least half of the goods.

"Alright then." Chen Jiajun nodded reluctantly.

"Let Binghou discuss the details of the next transaction with you. Give the phone to Binghou."

"OK."

After speaking with Vincent, Ice Queen went to the small bar on the yacht, poured two glasses of champagne, and handed one to Chen Jiajun.

"Sir Chen, I've looked into your background. I'm curious, why did you choose to do this line of work?" The Ice Queen lit a ladies' cigar and took a puff.

Chen Jiajun's smile vanished: "Do you know that in our line of work, it's absolutely forbidden to inquire about other people's information?"

"Sorry." Sensing Chen Jiajun's threat, the Ice Queen quickly shook her head: "Money and goods separate, cash transaction, how about that?"

"How much cargo is there in total?" Chen Jiajun did not immediately agree to the Ice Queen's plan.

"60 tons," the ice queen uttered a number.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "We will trade six tons in person so that my people can check the quality. The other fifty-four tons will be shipped through Tuen Mun Wharf, where I will arrange for people to check and put them into storage."

Handing over six tons to the police station would be a great achievement for them. In addition, with the capture of Vincent and Bing, Li Shutang's position as Commissioner of Police would be very secure.

Chen Jiajun didn't really care whether Li Shutang was one of his men or not.

However, as a fellow Chinese, it's only right that he offer some help.

As for the remaining 54 tons that went into storage, they belonged to him. In this way, the people behind Vincent would also believe that Chen Jiajun was genuinely trading with them. So what if the police took the six tons of goods?

At least 54 tons of goods will enter the market.

Of course, after completing this transaction, Chen Jiajun was prepared to part ways with the other party immediately.

When the time comes, you can just make up any excuse.

"Ware all of them stored, and only a few samples brought over. Wouldn't that make our transactions much more convenient?" The Ice Queen frowned, sensing something amiss.

"No, Hong Kong is my territory, and things must be done according to my rules. Also, because of Vincent, I don't really trust you, do you understand?"

Chen Jiajun made a pointed remark.

The Ice Queen took a puff of her cigar and said, "It's your territory, you make the decisions. How will the funds be transferred?"

“This is a HSBC deposit certificate.” Chen Jiajun tossed the one prepared for him by the police station out of his pocket.

"Take this and have it checked." The Ice Queen picked up the deposit certificate and handed it to the henchman beside her.

Five minutes later, the foreign henchman came over and said, "No problem."

“I will prepare $15 billion in cash for you in advance, and I will have to wait for the rest. Don’t worry, I have always had a good reputation in Hong Kong.”

Chen Jiajun explained the details of the transaction, and the scene looked just like a real transaction.

"I've only ever heard one saying: In Hong Kong, if Boss Jun wants to kill someone, then he will definitely kill them. His word is law, and he's more punctual than the King of Hell."

As she spoke, the Ice Queen laughed at herself, raised her glass and said, "I wish you all the best in your career in Hong Kong."

"I accept your good words."

The fish has taken the bait.

This deal was a mix of truth and deception; both the police and the Ice Queen had fallen into his trap.

"By the way, it's been so long and I still don't know what the organization behind us is called."

Chen Jiajun downed a glass of champagne and asked casually.

"ETHER is an ancient Greek word meaning the air that the gods in the sky breathe. The organization uses this name to signify that our members are all high-ranking, the elite of the elite."

We at EtherClub adhere to the principles of economy, efficiency, and positivity, and most importantly, we believe in enjoying life to the fullest. Are you in a hurry?

As she spoke, the Ice Queen's right hand reached up to Chen Jiajun's right hand, her eyes filled with tears.

Sir Chen's charm is irresistible.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in you." Chen Jiajun naturally refused.

It's not that the Ice Queen isn't pretty.

But the thought of the other party's actions made Chen Jiajun feel nauseous.

"Okay, I don't lack men."

The Ice Queen didn't feel offended at all; as if trying to save face, she deliberately said something.

After discussing the details of the transaction, the yacht slowly docked.

Chen Jiajun waved goodbye to the Ice Queen, got into his Mercedes Pullman, and secretly went to Lan Kwai Fong in Central, where he found a high-end Western restaurant.

Soon, the assistant commissioner of police, Li Shutang, was invited over by the old prison guard.

"Brother Jun, we're waiting for you inside. Please come in."

Chen Jiajun has retired from the underworld, so Lao Yu and the others naturally can't call him "Dragon Head" or "Ah Da," but simply call him Brother Jun or Mr. Chen.

"Thank you."

Li Shutang nodded to the old prison guard and stepped into the restaurant.

In the large Western restaurant, ten bodyguards wearing sunglasses stood around, while Chen Jiajun sat alone at the table, enjoying his meal.
