The conversation between the two parties went smoothly, and Deputy Director Gao did not mention the recording pen.
……
The next day, Ren Jiu, Xiao Mei, and Lao Shuming were watching TV in the villa when Xiao Mei handed them a plate of cut fruit, which contained watermelon, cantaloupe, and other small fruits.
Xiao Mei thoughtfully handed the watermelon to Ren Jiu. Ren Jiu took the watermelon, took a bite, and looked at the TV screen.
The television broadcast featured an interview with Deputy Director Gao, in which he announced on television that a group of drug dealers had been arrested and 5000 million US dollars worth of drugs had been seized.
Many reporters with their cameras and microphones snapped photos of Deputy Director Gao, the flashes never stopping. Deputy Director Gao, on the other hand, looked smug and was quite the center of attention.
However, all the drug dealers arrested by Deputy Director Gao were die-hard members of the Kin Hok Association. Although the Kin Hok Association was defeated by Ren Jiu and its subordinates were scattered, the Kin Hok Association still had many core members.
These core members were also very loyal to Liu Jian, because these people not only sold drugs, but also used drugs themselves.
Ren Jiu naturally couldn't leave these people in the North and East districts. He could use Deputy Director Gao's help to arrest them all and send them to the prison.
Sitting to the side, Lao Shuming watched Deputy Director Gao speaking eloquently on TV, chuckled, and teased, "Boss, this Deputy Director Gao is really hypocritical."
Ren Jiu didn't care; it was just a political tactic used by the higher-ups—saying one thing to one person and another to another.
Then Ren Jiu suddenly asked Lao Shuming, "Did you take the photos?"
Upon hearing this, Mouse Ming laughed and said, "Boss, we've already got the shot."
After saying that, Lao Shuming took out two photos from his bag and handed them to Ren Jiu.
Ren Jiu looked closely and saw that it was a photo of Deputy Director Gao and Lao Shuming handing over Number Four.
The photo clearly shows Deputy Director Gao's face; this is evidence of his crimes.
Although Ren Jiu already had the recording, he didn't mind getting more evidence of Deputy Director Gao's crimes so that he could cooperate with him.
As for number four, he didn't care. After all, he was doing legitimate business and making a lot of money, so he didn't need those number fours to make money for him.
Moreover, by seizing this opportunity to obtain yet another piece of evidence against Deputy Director Gao, he could also send those drug-using henchmen from the Health and Welfare Association to jail, making it easier for Gao to take over the Association's territory. No matter how you look at it, it's beneficial to him. Even if Deputy Director Gao cooperates well later, he wouldn't mind returning Liu Jian's recording to him, but he would definitely keep these photos secretly, as a backup plan!
Chapter Twenty-Four: Ren Jiu: My greatest wish is for long-term social stability and peace!
Three days later, Ren Jiu was practicing boxing in the gym inside the villa. Since he learned the secrets of Muay Thai, he hadn't practiced much.
Generally speaking, after Muay Thai fighters master the basic techniques of punches, elbows, knees, and legs, as well as the necessary offensive and defensive skills, they practice repeatedly until these become conditioned reflexes, and then rely entirely on their own improvisation in actual combat.
One of the unique aspects of Muay Thai is its use of eight striking points on the limbs—fists, elbows, knees, and feet—to strike vital parts of the body from different angles, either in single strikes or in series. The techniques are completely unrestricted, hence its reputation as the "Eight-Armed Boxing Style."
Especially Muay Thai masters, like Ren Jiu, whose knees are as hard as iron after long-term hard training. If hit hard, a short mule will usually be unconscious for a long time, and in severe cases, his bones will be shattered.
The punching bag in front of Ren Jiu was teetering on the edge, each punch incredibly brutal, like a ferocious beast. After a round of Muay Thai, Ren Jiu felt exhilarated. At that moment, Xiao Mei pushed open the door, looked at Ren Jiu, and said:
"Ninth Brother, dinner is ready."
Seeing that Ren Jiu was covered in sweat, Xiao Mei thoughtfully brought him a towel.
Ren Jiu stopped what he was doing, took the towel, and wiped his sweat.
Xiao Mei looked at Ren Jiu's eight-pack abs, with their distinct lines and powerful physique, and couldn't help but blush slightly. In addition, Ren Jiu exuded a masculine aura, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.
Even though she had already had a relationship with Ren Jiu, Xiao Mei was still obsessed with it, her eyes filled with a dreamy look.
After wiping away their sweat, Ren Jiu and the others took a hot shower. After all, they were covered in sweat after practicing Muay Thai and felt quite uncomfortable.
After Ren Jiu finished showering, Xiao Mei had prepared stir-fried green peppers with eggs, three-cup chicken, and golden shrimp balls on the table... mostly home-style dishes, but Xiao Mei's cooking skills were quite good.
After Ren Jiu tasted a few bites, Xiao Mei's cooking became more and more to his liking.
Xiao Mei sat next to him, but although she had a bowl of rice, she had no appetite and did not touch her chopsticks for a long time.
Ren Jiu noticed Xiao Mei's expression and saw that she seemed hesitant to speak, so he asked:
"Xiaomei, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei bit her lip and said, "Ninth Brother, my mother is currently in a prison in Taipei. She went to jail for Aberdeen. I want to find a chance to see her."
Ren Jiu smiled upon hearing this: "It's nothing, I'll arrange it later."
Ren Jiu has now made contact with Deputy Director Gao, so it's easy for him to visit someone in the brothel or have Deputy Director Gao arrange for someone to take care of Xiao Mei's mother.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mei's face lit up with joy, and she couldn't help but express her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Ninth Brother."
Ren Jiu smiled and thought Xiao Mei was being too polite, after all, Xiao Mei was already his woman.
After finishing his meal, Ren Jiu immediately picked up the phone and called Deputy Director Gao.
"Dudu."
The deputy director on the other end of the phone asked in a businesslike tone, "What's the matter?"
Ren Jiu waved his hand: "Deputy Director Gao, are you free this afternoon? I'd like to invite you for tea."
Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Gao couldn't very well refuse Ren Jiu, since he had already gotten into Ren Jiu's car. He then said:
"Meet me in a private room at the Wisteria Tea House in an hour."
This teahouse is a high-end teahouse with a high degree of privacy. After all, Ren Jiu is a short mule in the Sanlian Gang and the deputy director of the police station. It's better not to let people know that they have too much contact.
……
After Ren Jiu hung up the phone, he took Xiao Mei and Chen Guilin to the Wisteria Tea House. Deputy Director Gao was already in a private room, brewing fine Biluochun tea and waiting for Ren Jiu.
After Ren Jiu arrived at the door of the private room, he instructed Gui Linzai, "Wait at the door."
Guilin boy nodded: "Yes, boss."
After Ren Jiu finished speaking, he led Xiao Mei into the private room. However, when Deputy Director Gao saw Xiao Mei, an outsider, he frowned.
Ren Jiu smiled and explained, "Vice President Gao, this is my girlfriend, Xiao Mei, who is also the owner of our Qiangwei Brewery."
Currently, the Qiangwei Brewery employs over 400 workers, providing employment for more than 400 people in Taipei City.
Deputy Director Gao liked to hear these kinds of things; he wanted long-term stability and believed that employment was equivalent to contributing to society.
He knew that since she was Ren Jiu's woman, she shouldn't say anything. Ren Jiu sat down in front of Deputy Director Gao, poured herself a cup of tea, and said:
"Next, I will build another fast food factory. This fast food factory will hire at least 2000 workers and help solve the employment problem for more than 2000 people in Taipei City."
The product produced by the fast food factory is instant noodles. Renjiu has already arranged for someone to register a patent for instant noodles, and plans to build an instant noodle factory later.
Upon hearing Ren Jiu's plans, Deputy Director Gao nodded in satisfaction, also feeling that it was a good thing, much better than Liu Jian going around selling medicine and causing other people's families to be ruined.
As long as Ren Jiu offers enough money, he is still willing to cooperate with Ren Jiu, since Ren Jiu is relatively shrewd.
Deputy Director Gao wanted social stability and long-term peace and security so that he could stay in his position. Of course, he couldn't let it stop him from making money. Unfortunately, Liu Jian didn't understand this principle and kept disobeying his orders.
Deputy Director Gao nodded in satisfaction: "Society needs long-term stability and security. Doing real business is good. It's a good thing if it can solve the employment problem."
Ren Jiu squinted and calmly said, "I am a businessman, and what I hope for most is long-term social stability and peace."
Deputy Director Gao smiled but didn't expose him: "I've already smoothed things over with customs, so the smuggling business can proceed."
Upon hearing this, Ren Jiu replied, "I will immediately arrange for people to carry out smuggling operations."
After saying that, Ren Jiu looked at Xiao Mei beside him and said to Deputy Director Gao, "I came to see you because there's something else. My girlfriend's mother is in prison in Taipei City, and I want my girlfriend to visit her in prison so she can see her mother."
"By the way, I hope you can put in a good word and ask the people inside to take good care of her, since she's getting old."
Upon hearing this, Director Gao realized it was just a small favor for him. After all, Deputy Director Gao was the deputy director of the police station, and he had considerable connections and influence within the system. A simple request would be easy, so he readily agreed.
"No problem, it's a piece of cake."
Ren Jiu nodded slightly. Being able to connect with higher-ups made many things much easier to handle. After meeting with Deputy Director Gao, Ren Jiu took Xiao Mei back.
……
The next morning, Chen Guilin arrived at Ren Jiu's office, his face somewhat unfriendly, and called out:
"Boss, that bastard Chen Hui is here again."
Ren Jiu was also annoyed: "What is that bastard Chen Hui doing here again? Every time he comes to me, he eats and takes things. He's got his eye on me."
However, Ren Jiu was somewhat helpless and said to Chen Guilin, "Call Chen Hui over here."
Chen Guilin nodded: "Okay, boss."
A minute later, Chen Hui entered the office. Ren Jiu didn't get up, but simply said, "Captain Chen, I've recently gotten some good tea. Please try it."
Chen Hui didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I've been quite picky about tea lately and want to drink some good tea."
These short mules are much richer than us cops; they might as well eat and drink whatever they want.
Ren Jiu waved his hand, signaling his underlings to prepare tea and snacks. At the same time, Ren Jiu tossed Chen Hui a cigar, which Chen Hui caught without ceremony, tucked behind his ear, and coldly snorted:
"You bunch of short mules are certainly enjoying yourselves."
Ren Jiu smiled and said, "What's up, Captain Chen? You keep coming here every few days, it's making it hard for my bar to do business."
Chen Hui chuckled: "Sunglasses Ah Lin from the Health and Wellness Association fell down from upstairs. I suspect this is related to you, so I came to investigate."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Jiu looked speechless and said, "Captain Chen, everything is related to me. Well, I think you have a prejudice against me."
Ren Jiu then called Deputy Director Gao directly.
After Deputy Director Gao answered the phone, he was surprised that Ren Jiu called him twice in one day.
"Ren Jiu, what is it now?"
Ren Jiu glanced at Chen Hui beside him and said, "Your subordinate Chen Hui is always causing me trouble."
