Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 658, Section 248: One cannot walk only one path.
What an rude jerk!

Before she could even say goodbye, Chi Mengli mentally cursed "Little Shandong" and then put the microphone on the table.

I glanced at the small clock on the table and realized it was almost noon. At this time, Xiren would have finished her SAP work and gone to the antique shop to do business.

Chi Mengli picked up the pager and tucked it into her waistband. Although the style was a bit outdated, the waistband was indeed the best place for a pager. It didn't get in the way, and she could still hear the pager's faint ringing. She put on her suit jacket, turned off the water and electricity, and walked out of the office.

He closed the office door, went downstairs, and found that Xizai had already arrived and was directing the workers to carry the new mahjong table.

Businesses related to desire are very profitable. Taking advantage of the recent drop in land prices, Prince Hui quickly acquired properties and land, buying all three tenement buildings next door in preparation for expanding the business area of ​​Hong Sheng Bird House.

The tenement buildings all have cardboard walls, aligned left and right, with a door, and can be easily renovated to continue operating. The renovation teams are very experienced, only starting work in the early morning and working from 4 am to 11 am, missing the peak hours of the mahjong parlors and not interfering with their business.

When Xizai saw Chi Mengli coming downstairs, he told his henchman BK to keep an eye on her. He then quickly put on his suit and walked up to Chi Mengli.

"Brother Sheng, I figured you might be dozing off again, so I didn't go up and disturb you. Do you need me to drive?"

Xizai took off his gloves, threw them back at the front desk, and asked.

"No need to drive. I'm not even seventy or eighty years old yet, so I'll go to Xiren's antique shop."

"GO!"

Chi Mengli tilted her head, signaling Xizai to follow, and the two walked out of Hongsheng Mahjong Hall one after the other.

Jasmine, who was supervising the workers, saw that Chi Mengli, who had been missing for several days, had returned safely. She asked the night shift receptionist, Haibangmei, what time Chi Mengli had returned.

"Boss, are you kidding me! You can't even keep an eye on your own man, and you want me to help you keep an eye on him?!"

“That’s outrageous!”

"Fine, I'll mercifully tell you that Brother Sheng came back early this morning and hasn't left the house yet. I heard them say that they didn't need to drive, so they must be going to Sister Xiren's antique shop."

After quickly finishing her gossip, the clam girl went to direct the workers to clear away the pile of wood debris at the entrance.

I got back this morning!
Jasmine quickly memorized the time. Handsome Sheng had been missing for two days, so there must be something fishy going on. This bastard didn't even bring Spinach Dong and Xi Zai with him. He left all alone. There must be something fishy going on.

But she really didn't know what that good-for-nothing, Handsome Sheng, was up to when he disappeared. She could only keep the time in mind and report it to Big Donkey, asking Big Donkey to cross-check whether any cases had occurred in the last two days.

As soon as Chi Mengli left Hongsheng Sparrow Pavilion, he spotted the car that was tailing him, and then, ten meters away, he saw another car.

Pretending to be mysterious!

One car is on display, so obvious even a fool could tell it's the surveillance vehicle; the other is hidden in the shadows, ready to catch someone off guard.

This is a tracking technique taught by Huang Zhukeng. Chi Mengli learned it and even got an A. They are from the same school and were taught by the same master. They can't break the move!
He was also certain that there were at least three telescopes in the building across the street aimed at him, monitoring his every move day and night.

Jasmine's actions were effective; a trap was thus set.

"Brother Sheng, that car over there looks suspicious, it's definitely sent by the cops. Should we make a move?"

"We won't go too far, just find a few prostitutes and sluts to cause trouble and make things difficult for these cops!"

Xizai followed Chi Mengli's gaze and spotted the surveillance car in plain sight. He quickly whispered something.

"Don't go too far, just kick them out!"

Chi Mengli walked up to the cigarette stall, took out her wallet, pointed out a green crab note, and placed it on the stall's table: "Uncle, two packs of Double Happiness cigarettes." The cigarette stall uncle nodded, smiled, took out the two packs of Double Happiness cigarettes, placed them on the table, and opened his waist pouch to start making change.

Picking up two packs of cigarettes, Chi Mengli waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need change, and continued walking forward.

He opened the cigarette pack, lit it with a Dupont lighter, and smoked while looking at the street scene he had seen a thousand times before.

Pushing open the door of the antique shop, Chi Mengli walked in alone. Xizai was still sitting on the chair by the door, picking up a newspaper and starting to read it, while also stopping the ignorant idiot.

"welcome!"

"Brother Sheng, you've arrived. Sister Xiren is inside. I'll go make some tea!"

The young woman in the antique shop greeted the visitor as the big boss and pointed out Xi Ren's location.

"No tea! No coffee! I've had tea and coffee all morning, and I want to take a nap this afternoon. Just give me a bottle of Perrier, and some lemon and ice."

Chi Mengli had drunk too much tea and coffee today and really couldn't drink any more. After giving his instructions, he walked to the door of Xiren's office.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, Xi Ren was calculating the accounts sent by several companies. The business was making money steadily, but the various expenses were also considerable. The turnover was large, but the amount of legal deposits in the bank was not much.

Hearing a knock at the door, she looked up and said, "Come in!" Then she saw Chi Mengli walk in.

What a strange person!

He is very polite, knows his boundaries, and respects others, even his henchmen.

But for gangsters, having a kind heart isn't enough; they also need ruthless methods.

But Handsome Sheng is not lacking in any way. His ruthless methods are astonishing, even to seasoned veterans of the underworld, because they are too cunning and vicious.

A mysterious man!

"Welcome back! Was Luzon fun?"

Xi Ren took off her glasses, stretched, and showed off her graceful curves. She had spent the first half of her life learning how to please men, and she knew how to make the most of her physical advantages.

"So boring! It's even hotter and more humid than Hong Kong!"

Chi Mengli sat in the chair and shook his head helplessly. This trip to Luzon Island was just a small favor, causing Song Sheng a little trouble. It wasn't a great success.

"The Bald Eagle's deposit has been delivered to Shenxian Jin."

"As you instructed before you left, exchange all of it for dirty rice. However, the price was very low this time. Shenxianjin only gave a 1:3 ratio. I was afraid of delaying things, so I had Adong exchange it."

"Six million in deposit, exchanged for eighteen million in contaminated rice, is this still following the old path of Jardine Matheson Insurance?"

Xi Ren took the ashtray off the cabinet and placed it on the desk, speaking softly.

"No! This time we won't go down the Xia Jiade route. We've already helped this scoundrel enough. We don't have much counterfeit pounds left. We'll give it all to Xia Jiade and turn it into an insurance policy!"

"This contaminated rice will be diverted through the minibus company and the Dragon Palace nightclub, all of which will be mixed up and deposited into Hang Seng Bank."

This amount carries relatively little risk, and there's no reason for Jardine Matheson to make the lion's share. It's better to use a minibus company and deposit the money into Hang Seng Bank.
