Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

The burly man showed no mercy and punched Xu Youcai in the throat.

Xu Youcai immediately collapsed into the chair, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Seeing this, Zhao Meixin shuddered in fright.

But the man beside her smiled and took out a business card, saying to Zhao Meixin, "Hello, Ms. Zhao, my name is Wang Haihe, and I'm your new partner!"

Zhao Meixin was still shaken, but she accepted the man's business card, unaware of what this dangerous man wanted to do.

Wang Haihe smiled, then took out his phone and dialed a number: "OK, that's fine."

Then Zhao Meixin's phone suddenly rang. When she picked it up, she saw that a sum of money had been deposited into her account.

Wang Haihe said with a smile, "I've already laundered your ten million for you. I'll only take fifteen percent of your money, which is much cheaper than Xu Youcai's! Besides, there's no one in Hong Kong who can take your business right now. You can consider it!"

As he spoke, Wang Haihe extended his hand to Zhao Meixin.

Zhao Meixin hesitated for a moment, but still extended her hand and shook hands with Wang Haihe.

The two sides have reached an agreement.

Subsequently, Wang Haihe's men packed Xu Youcai and his henchman He Dacheng into sacks and took them away.

Zhao Meixin didn't want to linger there any longer, so she picked up her bag and immediately left the laundromat.

Meanwhile, Wang Haihe had already sent people to find Di Weijie.

It was Di Weijie who complained that Xu Youcai hadn't given enough, so he sold Zhao Meixin's information to Wang Haihe, which gave Wang Haihe the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Di Weijie's car was waiting next to the gas station by the roadside.

At that moment, the SUV that had rescued Zhao Meixin drove up and handed a package of oil paper to Di Weijie.

Di Weijie opened the bag and found several stacks of cash and a fake passport inside.

Then the masked man in the car said to Di Weijie, "The boss wants you to go to the Philippines to lay low. You know that place very well!"

Di Weijie nodded in satisfaction: "The new boss is really loyal. That bastard Lao Xu is a traitor who kicked us when we were done with it and wouldn't even give us a resettlement allowance!"

The masked man then handed over a cell phone and said, "The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) can't hear you. Wait for my call!"

Di Weijie nodded, took his phone, and drove away.

But after he left, the masked man took out another phone, which showed a location target...

……

The next morning, Chen Jiajun went to the tea restaurant he frequented.

At this time of day, tea restaurants usually play the news.

Just then, a news item caught Chen Jiajun's attention.

"Yesterday afternoon, a serious traffic accident occurred in Chek Keng, Sai Kung. A vehicle crashed into a mountain and caught fire, resulting in the deaths of two passengers inside!"

"According to police reports, the two men are both from Hong Kong, named Xu Youcai and He Dacheng. The police have currently determined it to be a traffic accident..."

Upon hearing the news report, Chen Jiajun immediately frowned.

Xu Youcai was previously under close surveillance by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and the police.

He's already dead today?
Just as Chen Jiajun was pondering, Silva walked in from outside.

"Boss..."

"I already know what happened!" Chen Jiajun said, frowning. "What exactly happened?"

Silva said helplessly, "Xu Youcai was killed by a group of mysterious guys on his own turf! We found him dead in Saigon that afternoon."

Chen Jiajun was speechless. He couldn't believe that Xu Youcai would be killed on his own turf.

He then asked Silva, "Can you find out who the other party is?"

Silva nodded: "Although they fabricated Xu Youcai's cause of death, it won't be too difficult for us to find them! And I suspect that the person who did all this is from DOA!"

"Hmm?" Chen Jiajun asked curiously, "Why do you think that? Even if they kill Xu Youcai, they might not be able to take away Xu Youcai's business, right?"

Even knowing DOA's intentions, taking away a club's business is no easy task.

Especially for small triads like Fuxing, the money laundering business run by Xu Youcai is probably the most profitable part of the entire triad.

If this gets taken away, wouldn't that be cutting off someone's livelihood?
If that's the case, it would be strange if Fuxing didn't fight that person to the death.

Unless the other party offers Fuxing a benefit that he cannot refuse.

Silva sneered, "What if they manage to intimidate Fuk Hing? The triads in Hong Kong aren't what they used to be! With DOA's financial resources, intimidating a small triad like Fuk Hing shouldn't be a problem!"

Chen Jiajun stroked his chin and said, "You continue the investigation. I'll send someone to Fuxing to ask that old guy Guixing!"

This matter may seem small, but it is not simple.

This would allow Chen Jiajun to understand the extent of DOA's infiltration into Hong Kong.

This will allow Chen Jiajun to adjust the defenses of Hong Kong.

After all, Chen Jiajun's high-value-added industries are all in Hong Kong, and he doesn't want to make any mistakes on this issue.

At almost the same time, Liu Baoqiang, the chief inspector of the Joint Wealth Investigation Team, also received the news.

This guy is Boss Liu, who went undercover to find Xu Youcai before.

After hearing his colleague finish recounting the traffic accident, Liu Baoqiang asked, "What's the wind blowing outside right now?"

My colleague smiled, shook his head, and said, "Eight words: murderous and headless flies."

"What do you mean?" Liu Baoqiang asked, frowning.

A colleague explained, "Xu Youcai's men all believe that Xu Youcai was killed! They are all eager to find someone to take revenge, but they have searched all the major gangs but have not found any suspects and have no idea what happened."

"However... there's something strange. When Xu Youcai first started out in the underworld, he was with Guixing of the Fuxing Society. Liu Sir, you should know this person too! I heard that Guixing also had shares in Xu Youcai's business! But after this incident, Guixing has been completely silent, you could say they've been unusually quiet."

Upon hearing his colleague's analysis, Liu Baoqiang immediately took it to heart.

That evening, he went directly to Fuxing's branch office to ask Guixing if he knew anything.

However, upon arriving at Fuxing Society's territory, Liu Baoqiang discovered that someone else had already gotten there first.

Moreover, he recognized this person; he was Tai Fei from Hung Hing.

Dafei is naturally unconventional and has a wide circle of friends. He is now in charge of all external affairs of Hung Hing.

Upon seeing Dafei appear, Liu Baoqiang immediately frowned.

He didn't know why the usually low-profile Hung Hing would get involved in something like this.

However, since we've already come this far, we can't leave empty-handed.

Upon entering the dessert shop of Fuxing Society, the two henchmen immediately stood up.

Seeing Liu Baoqiang's appearance, you know he must be a policeman.

"Uncle Guixing, Brother Dafei," Liu Baoqiang greeted them familiarly.

Gui Xing waved his hand, signaling his henchman to sit down, and then let Liu Baoqiang come over.

Seeing Liu Baoqiang and Dafei come to find him one after the other, Guixing, whose hair was already gray, sighed and said, "What wind is blowing today? You Hung Hing people have actually come here with the police."

Dafei said exaggeratedly, "Wow, Guixing, don't talk nonsense! You're making it sound like we Hung Hing have offended the Emperor!"

Gui Xing snorted and said, "Is there a difference? Your Mr. Chen behind Hung Hing is domineering. He cleaned up all the triads in Hong Kong. Who isn't afraid of Hung Hing?" Da Fei said nonchalantly, "Heh, if you're so tough, go find him yourself. What's the use of telling me?"

Seeing the two arguing fiercely, Liu Baoqiang immediately calmed down.

Instead, she smiled and said to Guixing, "Uncle Guixing, you're so old, why are you still eating so many sweets? Be careful you don't get diabetes!"

Gui Xing said nonchalantly, "I'm already eighty years old, every time I eat here, it's one less time I'll have to!"

Dafei then looked at Liu Baoqiang and asked, "Inspector Liu from the Major Crimes Unit! Where have you been transferred to?"

"Joint Financial Investigation Department, Brother Dafei hasn't committed any economic crimes, has he?" Liu Baoqiang said to Dafei with a smile.

Dafei spread his hands and said, "How could that be? I'm making so much money in the entertainment industry now, who has time to do anything illegal?"

"That's good!" Liu Baoqiang nodded and then asked, "I wonder what brings Brother Dafei to see Uncle Guixing today?"

Dafei gave a mysterious smile and said, "Just like you! I came because of Xu Youcai's death."

"Hmm?" Liu Baoqiang frowned immediately: "What does this have to do with your Hung Hing?"

Dafei shrugged and said, "I don't know either. Mr. Chen sent me."

Hearing their conversation, Gui Xing put down his dessert bowl and said with a helpless expression, "I knew that you two coming to my door together couldn't be anything good."

"Then stop hiding it and tell us everything you know!" Dafei said with a smile. "Besides, aren't you angry that Xu Youcai, whom you raised like your own son, was killed?"

Liu Baoqiang asked tentatively, "Is it because the other party is too powerful, and you're afraid you can't afford to offend them?"

Gui Xing sighed, then said to the two of them, "I've heard... I've only heard that a big tycoon has returned from the Netherlands. He's very powerful and ruthless. I heard he's very interested in Ah Cai's business, but as for the details, I know nothing!"

"I'm over eighty years old, and I'm perfectly content with a bowl of dessert every day! Besides, these kinds of feuds are really none of my business!"

Neither Dafei nor Liu Baoqiang were satisfied with Guixing's words.

However, Gui Xing seems genuinely unaware of this.

Left with no other option, the two had to leave the dessert shop.

"Liu sir, what do you think?" Dafei asked Liu Baoqiang, a cigarette dangling from his lips. "It seems Guixing has been threatened!"

Liu Baoqiang countered with, "What do you think?"

Dafei immediately laughed: "I know you cops don't trust me, but it's okay, I'll tell you! Based on my understanding of that old guy Guixing, the other party must have a very powerful background!"

"You should know that Gui Xing's current territory was taken by him all by himself with a machete! He's known for his stubbornness! Even though he's old, anyone who dares to provoke him will suffer a terrible revenge."

"The person who did this should really think about how they managed to get even this stubborn old mule to admit defeat!"

After listening to Dafei's words, Liu Baoqiang fell into deep thought.

Dafei drove up in his flashy Cadillac and said to Liu Baoqiang, "Liu sir, let me tell you something else. This matter is related to an international money laundering group. As for why Hung Hing is targeting this guy, it's because Mr. Chen has dealt with them before!"

"This is what Mr. Chen told me to tell you! If you have any further questions, you can go directly to Mr. Chen."

"Chen Jiajun?" Liu Baoqiang nodded: "I understand, thank you, Brother Dafei!"

"You're welcome!" After saying that, Dafei stepped on the gas and drove away.

Liu Baoqiang received too much news today and couldn't fall asleep.

He simply drove back to the police station to check the case files.

What was initially thought to be a simple money laundering case has now implicated far too many forces.

For a moment, Liu Baoqiang was at a loss as to where to begin.

Whether it was the intelligence provided by Guixing or Dafei, nothing was simple.

Just as Liu Baoqiang was making coffee and thinking about things...

A strange man swaggered into the bar: "No wonder Hong Kong is so safe. It's this late, and the police are still on duty!"

Liu Baoqiang asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

The man smiled and extended his hand to Liu Baoqiang: "You must be Officer Liu. My name is Hong Liang!"

After saying that, he took out a business card and handed it to Liu Baoqiang.

Upon seeing the business card, Liu Baoqiang was even more surprised: "Director of the Investigation Division of the Anti-Corruption Bureau?"

Hong Liang said with a smile, "I've already spoken to your leader and would like to have a chat with you."

Liu Baoqiang nodded, made Hong Liang a cup of coffee, and then went to his office.

"How can I help you?" Liu Baoqiang asked curiously.

He rarely collaborates with people from his hometown, which makes him seem somewhat reserved.

After all, the person in front of him was of a higher rank than his immediate superior.

After sitting down, Hong Liang immediately said, "It's like this, we are investigating a case involving a deputy ministerial-level leader, and the amount of embezzled funds involved may be as high as tens of billions."

“When we were tracing the whereabouts of the embezzled funds, we discovered that he was planning to launder the money through Hong Kong! Therefore, we need your cooperation in conjunction with the Financial Intelligence Unit.”

Liu Baoqiang paused for a moment, then said, "How should we cooperate?"

“During our investigation, we discovered that his mistress was the middleman! And his mistress, whose name is Zhao Meixin, is currently in Hong Kong,” Hong Liang continued.

"Zhao Meixin?" Upon hearing this name, Liu Baoqiang was stunned on the spot.

Then, based on Hong Liang, Da Fei, Gui Xing, and Xu Youcai from the previous investigation, it seems that these clues can be vaguely connected.

……

"Wang Haihe is a Dutch citizen of Chinese descent and a graduate of the Department of Economics at Cambridge University."

Chen Jiajun frowned as he looked at the information Silva had found: "He used to be a senior executive at several multinational investment companies, disappeared for a period of time a few years ago, and then started his own investment company?"

Silva smiled and said, "Your resume is perfect, isn't it?"

"He's a bit too perfect!" Chen Jiajun said with a sneer, looking at the arrogant man in front of him. "Besides, he doesn't look like someone from the academy! He's a seasoned veteran!"

Silva nodded: "The other party definitely forged his resume, and it's not even certain if his name is Wang Haihe! This guy's record is even more exaggerated than Mr. Gao, whom you dealt with in Haojiang before. I bribed intelligence organizations in many countries to gather information from them! Guess who this guy's biggest client is?"

Chen Jiajun said irritably, "When did you learn to be so mysterious? Just tell me!"

Silva laughed and said, "Pablo, Colombia's biggest drug lord!"

"Wow?" Chen Jiajun was immediately surprised: "I didn't expect there to be this kind of connection!"

Silva laughed and said, "Ever since Pablo was brought down by you, Boss, his income has plummeted, which is why Mr. Gao has overtaken him! Otherwise, the position of chairman of the DOA Foundation should belong to Wang Haihe!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "So, in other words, I unintentionally gave this guy a blow?"

Silva smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right! And this guy has been hanging around with drug lords for years, so he's ruthless when it comes to doing things! During his time in the Netherlands, he used those underhanded methods to bring down several local investment companies and made a lot of money!"

"So, Xu Youcai's death and the loss of his business were all part of Wang Haihe's plan?" Chen Jiajun said, stroking his chin. "But I don't understand, he clearly didn't need to use such a flamboyant method, did he?"

Judging from Wang Haihe's resume, he didn't need to resort to such drastic measures to stir up such a huge uproar.

Simply by extending the company's business to Hong Kong, they could completely squeeze Xu Youcai's money laundering operations to the point where he can't even take care of himself.

This way, they could not only take over Xu Youcai's business, but also avoid attracting attention.

You should know that the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and the Joint Intelligence Investigation Team are not to be trifled with!
Chen Jiajun felt that Wang Haihe was definitely not the kind of reckless madman. (End of Chapter)
