Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 796, Section 386: We can't let him turn things around (Seeking monthly votes!)

Having made up his mind, A approached the criminal intelligence department's technicians and said to Lu Tianming, the inspector-level investigation director of the criminal intelligence department, "The information comes back from the informant."

"Handsome Sheng booked a boat this morning, the Oriental Wind Chaser."

“I’m not sure if the wind has blown in the wrong direction, so I need your Criminal Intelligence Division to come and listen.”

Lu Tianming also knew that Bai Fengxian had gotten into trouble, and he understood that A-zai was under immense pressure.

He didn't waste any words; he simply patted the technician on the shoulder and told him to get to work.

There were three computers in the room, all connected by coaxial cables, which could access the data server at Oak International Terminal.

Oak International was very cooperative, providing the key directly so the police could investigate at will.

It's actually difficult not to cooperate, because the Department of Justice and the Supreme Court have both signed off on the investigation and issued an investigation order, leaving Oak International with no choice but to cooperate unconditionally.

The criminal intelligence technicians typed on their keyboards, entering the English name of "Oriental Trends" into the database search bar.

A loading screen appears; data will only start appearing after the energy bar fills up.

On the main road opposite the Oak International Terminal, the content displayed on the monitor in front of the criminal intelligence technicians also appeared before Slang Chodron's eyes.

Slang Quzhen drove to the parking space at the entrance of Oak International Terminal early in the morning.

After determining the distance to the signal transmitter, she deployed the signal antenna and began receiving signals.

She had already hacked the backend, and now all the data retrieved from Oak International Terminal would appear on the four computer screens in front of her.

The boss, Handsome Boy, had sent someone to deliver a piece of paper to him last night; it contained a business plan.

To be precise, it's more like a game level trigger Easter egg. The paper contains simple and easy-to-understand words, and "Oriental Wind Chaser" is one of the triggers.

Slang Quzhen opened the cap of the nicotine gum, poured two pieces into her mouth, began chewing, and then typed in the text information she had prepared beforehand.

These text documents are flawless because they are correct in themselves; only the dates and times have been changed.

After a series of keystrokes, the text file was modified.

After finishing processing the text data, Silang Quzhen grabbed the car radio microphone: "The cops have made their move!" Then she hung up the phone.

The modified background file data is transmitted back to the data server via antenna, and then appears on the screen of the criminal intelligence technicians.

“Inspector Lu, there is indeed a cargo ship named Oriental Wind Chaser.”

"This ship arrived at its berth last night. It came from Bangkok, and it's loading cargo today and leaving Hong Kong tomorrow."

The technician read aloud the document that Slangchuzhen had revised.

"all hit!"

A-Zai clapped his hands excitedly and immediately ordered, "Find out where this cargo ship, the Oriental Wind Chaser, is now?"

Without hesitation, the technician typed rapidly on the keyboard and waited a full minute before speaking: "The Dongfang Fengxing is not in its berth and has entered the loading area."

"There's a queue in the loading area right now, but there's no data on the data server."

"Sir, should we ask the dock staff?"

After investigating, the technicians discovered that the data transmission system in the loading area was a separate system that did not go through a data server at all.

So he couldn't find out anything and could only tell the truth, asking A-zai to think of other ways.

"Don't alert them. We can't let the people at Oak International Terminal know that we're targeting that ship."

"We can't rule out the possibility of traitors inside the Oak International Terminal. If there are traitors tipping off Handsome Sheng and his gang, then everything will be in trouble!"

"Pepsi Boy, Pepsi Boy!"

A shook his head, disagreeing with the suggestion from the Criminal Intelligence Bureau officer, and instead shouted loudly.

Pepsi, who was smoking in the hallway, quickly threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out before going inside.

"Sir! What are your orders?"

Pepsi stood up straight, looked at Brother A, and waited for orders.

"You go now and find a ship called Dongfang Fengxing. Take a walkie-talkie with you. Report any news immediately."

"Remember to bring your binoculars!"

The loading area isn't far. Since the Dongfang Fengxing has already entered the loading area, it should be able to find it.

A-Zai is going to use the old method, because sometimes the old method is much more reliable than computer data.

It's 26 or 27 degrees Celsius outside, and the sun is blazing down. Going to the site to keep watch is a tough job.

Pepsi's face immediately turned bitter, but his boss's orders were law, and if he dared to say a word against them, he would be handed over to the lion right now.

"Yes, sir!"

Pepsi quickly grabbed his walkie-talkie and binoculars, put on his baseball cap, and headed out to the loading area to inspect the ship.

"Attention all units! Continue to keep a close watch on all intersections. Report any unusual activity to the command center immediately!"

A-Zai picked up the walkie-talkie and began to tell all the workers guarding the various passages of the AoKe International Terminal to pay extra attention.

"Yes, sir!"

"."

The words coming through the walkie-talkie reassured A-zai slightly. He gave Lu Tianming a wink, and the two of them went to the corridor together.

"Have any messages come back from the undercover agents?"

A-Zai is now paying close attention to Jasmine's situation because as soon as the operation began, Jasmine reported through Big Donkey that she had already found Handsome Sheng's hideout.

This den contains evidence of Handsome Sheng's crimes; they say the goods inside are enough to put Handsome Sheng in jail for a hundred years.

Currently, on the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau's (OCTB) leaderboard, Handsome Sing has risen to fourth place.

The first one is Big Brother Yuan, and the second one is Big Brother Cheng. These two bastards are always showing off their horses every night. It's either me ruining your show or you ruining mine. They never stop.

Last night they were showing off their horses on Ladies' Street, which turned into a flag-planting operation. Even when Bai Yong, the leader of the Luen Shing triad, went there, it didn't stop the two sides from fighting.

Finally, it was only after the arrival of He Liansheng Huang Shang Huang Guohua and Lao Gui Deng that the two sides calmed down and dispersed.

The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) showed no mercy, deploying 300 uniformed officers and all of its members to arrest and take away more than 400 people.

The eldest brother, Cheng, and the eldest brother, Yuan, broke the record in the West Kowloon Police District, bringing in a total of six million in bail to secure the release of most of the people.

This is a huge sum. You know, even if you add up all the members of some declining gangs and mothball organizations, they still couldn't scrape together six million in bail.

The third senior New Century Group boss, Chen Yao, had one of his boats seized by the police and marine police. It was full of waterwheels, more than a thousand in total.

When Chen Yao's henchmen saw that Guan Lou and the marine police had mobilized together, they threw all the water trucks into the sea.

However, Chen Yao was also good at managing his subordinates. Even when his henchmen were embarrassed, they did not betray him and took the blame themselves.

If Handsome Sheng hadn't partnered with Waterway King Biao Jin to develop Blue Blood, he wouldn't even be in the top ten now.

He now holds absolute power in Yau Ma Tei, and the gangsters on the streets are behaving themselves, while their henchmen are all desperately trying to make money.

The vendors didn't dare sell their goods inside the market, instead hiding in the side alleys. The crime rate in Yau Ma Tei decreased by one percentage point each month, and residents' complaints decreased.

Actually, the police officers really hoped that all the gangs would be of the same name. After the Tsim Sha Tsui branch was reorganized, there was much less trouble, and now nothing is happening in Jordan.

Tsim Sha Tsui is prone to incidents because there are too many numbers piled up in the numbering system, and the brothers are fighting over food.

If A-zai were to choose, he would definitely want them all, grabbing the Waterway King Biaojin and then taking down Professor J, Ninth Sister, and Handsome Sheng, all those scoundrels, in one fell swoop.

But now Jasmine has given herself an alternative answer: if the operation fails in the end, she can still use Handsome Boy to make up for it. That's called double insurance!
Lu Tianming raised his hand, glanced at his watch, and seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, replied, "There's no news yet, but it should be soon."

"I hope the undercover agent and Big Donkey can bring good news," A-Zai murmured, looking out the window at the distant sea.

Jasmine, who lives in a tenement building on Fortress Street in Yau Ma Tei, is unaware of how much A-Zai has high hopes for her.

The main gate of the brothel was locked. Jasmine and Big Donkey stood on the street, looking at the locked security door.

"You busybody! Did you have to make such a big deal out of this?"

Trespassing is a serious offense, and Big Donkey didn't have a search warrant; he didn't want to gamble with his career.

Standing next to the big donkey, Jasmine rolled her eyes at the donkey's words and said with a look of exasperation, "You have to fight to win."

"The opportunity is right in front of you, and you don't even dare to take it? Are you even a man?"

"Furthermore, having a key means it doesn't count as trespassing!"

Jasmine took a key out of her designer handbag and waved it in front of the big donkey.

"Damn! Even if Handsome Sheng is crazy, he knows you're an openly cunning devil. He can't possibly trust you and give you any leverage."

The big donkey immediately sensed something was wrong, and his suspicion stemmed from what he had just said.

Handsome Sheng wasn't stupid; he knew perfectly well what Jasmine was up to.

If Handsome Sheng knew about Jasmine's wicked scheme and still handed the key to her, then things would be completely ruined.

The big donkey, having cultivated a keen sixth sense, immediately began to buzz in his brain, and he became alert to Jasmine.

"Hilarious! I made a duplicate of this key."

Jasmine rolled her eyes again, completely exasperated. She quickly explained, "Handsome Sheng only comes once a month."

"I sensed something was wrong, so I secretly followed them and then found Wenque and asked him to get me a key."

"Should we go for it? We only get one chance! Handsome Sheng is full of tricks. If he senses something's wrong, he'll change locations."

"Should we take a gamble?"

The big donkey didn't say a word; he was still looking at the security door, and he was now in a dilemma.

The credit is right in front of us. Handsome Sheng comes once a month, which means there are items inside that Handsome Sheng cares about.

The items that gangsters care about are just a few things, and everyone knows that.

Entering this tenement building by himself is to endorse Jasmine and tie himself to the same boat as Jasmine from now on.

When an undercover agent returns to the police station, the first thing they have to do is go through the Ministry of the Interior's investigation. Only after passing the investigation will they be promoted and given a higher rank. If they fail, the entire team will be in trouble.

Furthermore, Big Donkey also has to write a report because he is Jasmine's contact person and must ensure that everything he says matches Jasmine's. If he makes even the slightest mistake, he will fail the test.

To follow or not to follow?
The big donkey's heart was pounding, but in the end he couldn't overcome his greed and gestured for Jasmine to open the door.

Jasmine had anticipated the donkey's reaction. They had worked together for three or four years, and during that time, they had spent more time together than their families.

They know exactly what to eat, what to do, and what to say.

Jasmine chuckled smugly, then pulled out two pairs of rubber gloves, tossed one pair to the big donkey, put it on herself, and then unlocked the door.

The two entered the tenement building one after the other. Big Donkey closed the door, then took out his flashlight and lit up the way.

The buildings on Fortress Street are famously tall, and the whole street is gloomy, only brightening up around noon.

This is because the sunlight shines on the glass of the Dragon Palace Nightclub and reflects back.

This is the helplessness of ordinary citizens; even the sunlight is secondhand.

With the help of the flashlight, Jasmine and Big Donkey quickly made it to the second floor.

The door on the second floor was unlocked and the windows were open. There wasn't much moisture, but there was still a noticeable musty smell.

The area of ​​tenement buildings is generally not large, with only one room on the second floor, and the door is not locked.

Jasmine opened the door and went inside. As soon as she entered the room, she shivered from the cold air.

The second-floor room has been converted into a cold storage, and the shelves are filled with bags of processed dried shark fins and dried abalone.

"Holy crap! Is Handsome Sheng some kind of scoundrel, robbing the Dragon Palace of the East Sea?"

The room, less than 30 square meters, was filled with dried shark fins and dried abalone, so many that they needed to be counted.

The big donkey had never seen so much abalone and shark fin before, and he immediately started swearing.

"Looks like this is Handsome Sheng's seafood warehouse!"

Jasmine shivered. The temperature on the second floor was at most three or five degrees below zero, and she was only wearing a thin jacket, which was not enough to keep her warm.

"The advantage of handsome men lies in Tsing Yi and Tuen Mun, where there are piers and seafood processing plants. Land in Tuen Mun is cheap enough, so there's no reason to put goods in Yau Ma Tei where land is extremely valuable."

"Something's obviously fishy!"

"If these goods are all smuggled goods, even if Handsome Sheng has all the power, he can't handle it. He'll be in jail for at least a year or two."

"We've accomplished a great task, and we can report back now."

"Hey, can we call our military brothers and have them raid our house?"

Jasmine saw a down jacket hanging on the wall, immediately took it down and put it on to warm herself up.

The big donkey didn't say anything. There were indeed a lot of shark fins and abalone in the warehouse on the second floor, but Hong Kong's penalties for economic crimes were very lenient.

If Handsome Sheng is sensible enough to sign a confession and cooperate with the police, implicating one or two scoundrels, he can escape this predicament.

At most, he'll spend a year in jail, and he won't even be sent to a ancestral hall; instead, he'll be sent to Victoria Prison, which has the Central Gate.

The Dazha area is the preferred prison cell for the wealthy. It's a single room with a toilet and shower, and hot water is available 24 hours a day.

No need to work, two hours of outdoor exercise time every day, an hour of TV in the evening, daily newspaper reading, and the ability to call family every day.

Handsome Sing is not short of money, nor is he a violent criminal, so he is very likely to be imprisoned in Central.

This loser might be more comfortable here than outside; it'll only be a year or two, it'll pass quickly.

Even if Handsome Sing could control his business from inside the jail, the Department of Justice would not bother him in the future to save face.

"Let's go up to the third floor first."

Big Donkey didn't want to alert the patrolling military officers right now. He either wouldn't do it at all, or he would crush Handsome Sheng and make sure this loser could never recover.
