Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

"Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Guo Shirong, Chairman of the Guo Group, surrendered himself to the Commercial Crime Bureau, exposing the insider trading between the Guo Group and the Aimin Association over the years..."

No one in the private room spoke when the TV reporter broadcast the news.

The fraternity members looked increasingly grim; none of them had expected things to escalate to this point.

Soon, the key figure, Li Yonglian, stood up, pointed at Zeng Guoshan, and said fiercely, "You son of a bitch, look what you've done!"

Zeng Guoshan never expected that Guo Shirong would be so fierce, willing to fight to the death for his daughter.

Helpless, Zeng Guoshan said, "This is my fault. I didn't expect him to be involved in Zhiwei's matter..."

"Zhiwei, Zhiwei!" Li Yonglian was furious: "You dare mention your bastard son!"

He was already vying for the position of Secretary for Justice, which was a time when he needed to spend a lot of money.

That bastard son of Zeng Guoshan actually killed the daughter of his sugar daddy.

This led to the financial backer breaking ties with their brotherhood and preparing to perish together.

Anyone would go crazy if they were in this mess.

Li Yonglian said coldly, "You sabotaged the organization's plan to pave the way for your son! Your selfishness is too much! I propose that Zeng Guoshan and his son be stripped of their membership!"

Upon hearing Li Yonglian's words, Zeng Guoshan suddenly raised his head.

But now no one is looking at him anymore.

The others raised their hands and said, "Agreed!"

"I agree!"

"You two, father and son, are utterly idiotic idiots, and I agree!"

Seeing the members raise their hands one by one, Zeng Guoshan panicked: "You can't do this! Zhiwei... he will succeed the Aimin Association, he will definitely be able to..."

Lai Wing-lim interrupted him without any politeness, pointing at the television and saying, "Do you think you and your son still have a chance to turn things around in this situation? Let me tell you, Kwok Sai-wing has already obtained evidence of your son's murder and has officially submitted the evidence to the prosecutors in the Department of Justice."

"If the murder charge is upheld, and with the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption investigating, none of you in the Aimin Society will escape! The organization you founded is about to sink!"

Upon hearing Li Yonglian's words, Zeng Guoshan was struck dumb.

He looked like he had aged twenty years in an instant!
He then burst into tears, crying, "I served the organization, and I brought in a lot of funds for it every year. You can't treat us father and son like this!"

Although Zeng Guoshan looked pitiful with tears streaming down his face, what kind of people were in the Brotherhood?

They are all people who have been influenced by capitalism and are extremely selfish.

When a person is valuable, they will do everything in their power to protect them.

But once a person is no longer useful, they will be ruthlessly abandoned.

This is the code of conduct of capitalism!
So Li Yonglian coldly said to Zeng Guoshan, "You two had better watch your words in the future. If we hear anything we shouldn't hear, you... know the consequences!"

After saying that, Lai Wing-lim clapped his hands and had Zeng Guoshan escorted out of the private club and his membership card cancelled.

From now on, this place will never be open to people like Zeng Guoshan again!

……

As Guo Shirong chose to fight to the death, the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption immediately launched an investigation into the Oi Min Society.

Regarding the murder case of Guo Shirong's daughter, because he voluntarily submitted evidence, and with the concerted efforts of the defense and prosecution lawyers, the charge of murder by Li Yifeng was directly overturned.

However, Zeng Zhiwei is someone who can't escape.

On the day of the trial, Zeng Guoshan, with his full head of white hair, ran to Guo Shirong and begged for forgiveness: "Why did you act so impulsively? Doing this will not benefit anyone!"

Guo Shirong looked coldly at Zeng Zhiwei and said, "What I want is justice! I will not let anyone who was involved in the death of my daughter get away with it!"

The trial began quickly, and the defense witnesses presented the judge with newly obtained evidence.

Then they brought in a key witness.

He was the corrupt cop who helped Zeng Zhiwei handle this case.

Guo Shirong became furious and gave the corrupt policeman a large sum of money, asking him to testify against Zeng Zhiwei.

With evidence and witnesses, Zeng Zhiwei was no longer able to clear his name this time.

"He framed me! He framed me!" Zeng Zhiwei shouted loudly, then yelled in his father's direction, "Dad, help me!"

Unfortunately, Zeng Zhiwei was unaware that Zeng Guoshan's Aimin Association was under investigation.

Zeng Guoshan is a retired man, and he has been expelled from the fraternity. Now he has no way to deal with it.

He could only watch, tears streaming down his face, as his son struggled to be taken away by the police.

Upon seeing the chaotic scene before him, Guo Shirong burst into hearty laughter.

……

"Has the case been decided?" Chen Jiajun asked the intelligence officer.

The intelligence officer shook his head: "It's not that simple. After all, these are two separate cases! The kid Li Yifeng who got involved in this case is fine; he was acquitted on the spot. But the prosecutor will indict Zeng Zhiwei again and reopen the case!"

Chen Jiajun helplessly spread his hands and said, "This is damn complicated!"

"Procedural justice, you know!" the intelligence officer said with a smile. "But Tsang Kwok-shan's days are numbered! Now the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption are both eyeing the Oi Min Association!"

Chen Jiajun said with some surprise, "The Brotherhood didn't get involved?"

The intelligence officer shook his head and said, "As far as I know... no!"

"Tsk!" Chen Jiajun stroked his chin. "This is interesting! It seems they've given up on Zeng Guoshan?"

The intelligence officer nodded: "I reckon they've been expelled from the Brotherhood!"

“That’s right, the damage he and his son have caused the Brotherhood is no small matter, especially at this time!” Chen Jiajun laughed immediately: “The Brotherhood members might even skin them alive, let alone save them!”

The intelligence officer nodded: "We managed to monitor the club's funding sources and found that there has indeed been a large influx of funds recently, but this amount... seems far from enough!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Now we just have to wait for them to make their move and see if they think highly of Ji Shaoqun!"

Chen Jiajun looked at the intelligence officer and asked, "Have you found out Ji Shaoqun's detailed information?"

"Most of it is already taken care of!" The intelligence officer nodded, saying with schadenfreude, "This Ji Shaoqun is really interesting!"

"How so?" Chen Jiajun asked curiously.

The intelligence officer continued, "This guy has done a really good job in the East Kowloon Narcotics Division, especially in recent years, cracking several major cases! Based on his achievements, he should have been promoted to superintendent long ago! But he's still a senior inspector!"

"Is there something going on here?" Chen Jiajun asked with a gossipy look on his face.

The intelligence officer chuckled and said, "There's definitely some gossip. This guy's fallen for someone he shouldn't! A nightclub madam has him completely infatuated. His boss warned him to break up with that madam as soon as possible for the sake of his future, but Ji Shaoqun didn't do it!"

"This is precisely the main reason why, no matter how many merits he has made, the police leadership is unwilling to promote him!"

"Holy crap! A Casanova!" Chen Jiajun exclaimed in surprise, "There are such loyal and devoted people in the fraternity?"

The intelligence officer chuckled and said, "It's not over yet. This guy's really unlucky! A couple of years ago, when Soros attacked Hong Kong, he tried to crash the market. What was supposed to be a sure thing was ruined by you, boss!"

"This guy's entire fortune is tied up in debt. He even borrowed money from loan sharks to leverage it up. If he doesn't pay back the money, this rising star of the police force will be chased by gangsters for debt!"

Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "Well done! Which finance company are you from?"

"It seems to be Wo Luen Shing!" the intelligence officer said to Chen Jiajun after thinking for a moment.

"Haha, that's great!" Chen Jiajun laughed immediately. "We'll have someone put a bad word to them then!"

……

A fraternity's private clubhouse.

All members have been having frequent meetings these past few days.

It concerns the matter of Lai Wing-lim's management of funds.

The brotherhood had already lost a source of income due to Chen Jiajun's actions, which caused them to be unable to continue their laundry detergent business.

Now, Zeng Guoshan and his son have pulled off another amazing feat.

This has led to a shortage of operating funds for the fraternity.

The members of the fraternity never imagined that they would one day have to worry about money.

"Damn it, if it weren't for that bastard Zeng Guoshan!" Li Yonglian couldn't bear to think about this incident, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Another member said irritably, "Alright, that's all in the past! Now we need to think about how to raise this money!" Hearing this, everyone felt a headache coming on.

Although these people all had some savings, it was undoubtedly a drop in the ocean when faced with such a major event.

If you throw it in, it probably won't even make a splash.

Lai Wing-lim has a strong competitor who is also eyeing this position.

Without the funds to operate, Lai Wing-lim's chances of winning are slim.

"How about... we go ask Lao Cai for some funds!" After a moment of silence, someone suggested.

At this point, one of the members shook his head and said, "Old Cai has only just gained a foothold in England. Where would he get the money to send over? It's already very kind of him that he didn't ask us for support!"

"What about those foundations?"

"The foundation is now under close surveillance by the Commercial Crime Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). Anyone who touches it will be killed!"

"This won't work, that won't work, what should we do now?"

At this moment, a woman suddenly spoke up, "Why don't we pick up that business again? After all, we haven't lost our distribution channels yet?"

"You mean the laundry detergent business?" Li Yonglian frowned and said, "That's possible, but where would we get our supplies? What happened last time caused our supply chain to be cut off!"

The woman said calmly, "I'm not saying we want to continue this business, but rather to use this channel to make some money first and get through this difficult time! As for the source of goods, I have an idea!"

"Tell me quickly!" Li Yonglian said eagerly.

The woman laughed and said, "Although Lao Cai was taken down by that bastard Chen Jiajun, don't forget that we still have a lot of influence in the police force!"

"I heard the narcotics squad has recently seized a lot of drugs, and the police's evidence department has also accumulated a lot that hasn't been destroyed. Why don't we... find someone to rob this batch of drugs!"

Hearing the woman's words, everyone hesitated: "Isn't this a bit too risky?"

The woman spread her hands and said, "Then there's nothing I can do!"

Li Yonglian, eager for promotion, frowned and said, "This plan is feasible, but who should we get to handle it? This person must work in the anti-narcotics unit to facilitate cooperation from within!"

“I remember there’s another member among us who’s now a senior inspector in the narcotics unit!” the woman said casually. “And he’s got quite a bit of trouble going on right now! If you ask him to do it, he probably won’t refuse!”

Lai Wing-lim glanced at everyone, then said in a deep voice, "Then let's vote!"

Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsim Sha Tsui East.

Ji Shaoqun arranged to meet his subordinates at a restaurant in the area to discuss an important matter.

But as soon as he arrived, he heard a woman's shrill voice: "You bunch of bastards, are you here to steal again!"

Then he saw his subordinate, Ah Kang, chasing after him from the restaurant, yelling as he ran, "You little brat, stop right there!"

Seeing this, Ji Shaoqun immediately followed.

The thieving kids ran very fast, and Ah Kang chased after them with all his might.

But before they had chased each other for even two blocks, a bus suddenly appeared from the side street.

The bus was traveling at high speed, and it hit Ah Kang so hard that he was thrown into the air and then crashed heavily to the ground.

Ji Shaoqun was stunned when he saw this.

He rushed over and shook Ah Kang's badly injured body, asking, "Ah Kang, where's what I asked for? Where is it?"

Even though Ah Kang was already seriously injured, he still managed to mumble something.

"Huh? What?" Ji Shaoqun simply lay down on the ground and put his ear close to A Kang's.

Finally, they heard what Ah Kang said: "The phone, the phone was stolen by those brats!"

Upon hearing A-Kang's words, Ji Shaoqun was speechless.

The information he had painstakingly acquired at great expense was stolen by a bunch of thieving brats for this very reason.

Moreover, he had also lost one of his trusted subordinates, and Ji Shaoqun suddenly felt like he was going crazy.

However, he quickly calmed down, dialed the ambulance number and the police, and then hurriedly left.

He had to find those kids who stole the phone; after all, it was a matter of life and death for him.

Moreover, he doesn't have much time left!
……

Meanwhile, a murder occurred on Kimberley Road.

Police quickly cordoned off a building.

Soon, two policemen with badges around their necks walked into the cordon.

"Boss, a prostitute here has been murdered!"

The officer spoke to a man with a thick beard.

The man's name is Wen Fang, and he is the head of the East Kowloon Major Crimes Unit.

At this moment, a policewoman walked over and said to Wen Fang, "Boss, the deceased woman's name is Chen Shumei. She was 27 years old, a single mother, and had a seven-year-old daughter. She divorced four years ago, and her ex-husband has been living in Thailand and hasn't returned to Hong Kong in recent years."

"She started working as a prostitute five years ago, and worked as a karaoke hostess for two years. In the last three years, she started working as a brothel hostess. Half an hour ago, the deceased's sister called him, but no one answered, so she went upstairs to check on him, found the deceased, and then called the police!"

Upon hearing the policewoman's account, Wen Fang did not react in any way.

Those of us in the serious crimes unit have seen this kind of thing far too often.

However, Xiang An, a veteran police officer from the Major Crimes Unit behind him, showed a shocked expression on his face.

As they talked, the two arrived at the deceased's house.

Subsequently, colleagues from the forensic department arrived at the scene and began collecting evidence.

The serious crimes unit began questioning the deceased's sisters.

"Boss, this is the deceased's sister. She's the one who called the police." The policewoman brought the witness over.

The woman immediately said, "Yes, sir, Amei called me today and said that Kun came to borrow money again. Amei refused to give it to him, and Kun beat her up."

"Which Ah Kun?" Wen Fang asked.

"Her boyfriend!"

"What does this guy do?"

"What's there to do? I hang out at the gambling dens on Shandong Street all day."

While Wen Fang was questioning the witness, his subordinate Xiang An secretly hid the cigarette butt from the ashtray by the woman's bedside.

I thought everything was fine, but Wenfang had sharp eyes and noticed the cigarette ash scattered on the bed.

This immediately made Xiang'an's heart pound wildly.

Fortunately, no one noticed that he had taken the cigarette butt, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

As everyone came downstairs, a police officer approached Wen Fang and said, "Boss, Chief Ji is looking for you. He's a senior inspector from the Major Crimes Unit of the Regional Police Department."

Wen Fang walked over: "Commander Ji, how can I help you?"

Ji Shaoqun said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm just adding to your troubles while you're handling the case."

"It's alright, go ahead and speak!" Wen Fang nodded, seeing that the other party's attitude was very good.

"Have you heard about the tour bus accident that killed someone tonight?"

"heard."

"The man who was hit and killed was my subordinate. We were investigating a case together and found some clues on his phone. But his phone was stolen by a group of kids in school uniforms!" Ji Shaoqun explained.

"Where was it stolen?" Wen Fang asked.

"In Tsim Sha Tsui!"

Wen Fang is a local bigwig, so he naturally knows who to turn to.

He then turned to the older policeman beside him and said, "Xiang'an, go find Huoshui. It's probably one of his men who stole our brother's phone! Let me know if you get any news! Hurry!"

Xiang An nodded and immediately turned to get to work.

Ji Shaoqun politely said to Xiang An, "Thank you!" (End of Chapter)
