Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

The woman who spoke with Xu Youcai returned to Hong Kong the next day.

This woman's name is Zhao Meixin, and she is the mistress of a powerful figure in our hometown.

Because the big tiger recently sensed some danger, he specifically asked her to come to Hong Kong to find someone to launder the huge amount of dirty money in his hands.

However, she didn't trust Xu Youcai too much, so she only brought ten million with her, intending to test Xu Youcai's abilities.

Anyway, ten million is just a drop in the ocean for that big tiger.

Zhao Meixin had no idea that she would be targeted as soon as she entered Hong Kong customs.

"Miss, turn off the engine, show your ID, and open the trunk," the customs officer said directly to Zhao Meixin.

Zhao Meixin felt a tightness in her chest, but dared not make any unnecessary movements.

The only option was to get out of the car and open the trunk.

There was a suitcase in the trunk, which was the one she used to carry her money.

But this immediately caught the attention of customs officials: "Miss, could you please open the suitcase?"

Just as Zhao Meixin was hesitating, another customs officer walked over and said, "Alright, leave this to me!"

The customs officer paused for a moment, then nodded and handed over the logbook.

This customs officer was different from the last one. After asking for Zhao Meixin's phone number, he didn't do any other checks: "That's fine, you can go now!"

This surprised Zhao Meixin, who quickly said, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he closed the trunk and prepared to drive away.

Little did she know that his every move, including the customs officer who had just let him through, was being watched by another group of people.

These people are the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) led by Luk Chi-lim.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) had already received information from its hometown that a large sum of illicit money would soon flow into Hong Kong from there.

Therefore, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) officers dared not neglect their duties and immediately began to stake out the area near the customs.

Zhao Meixin's license plate number was presented to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), and they initially thought it was a sure thing.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhao Meixin was let through by customs so easily.

Either customs officials neglected their duties, or... there's something fishy going on here.

Lu Zhilian observed from a distance. Although he couldn't hear what the two were saying, he could tell from their behavior that something was definitely wrong.

He then instructed his subordinates to immediately intercept Zhao Meixin.

Soon, Zhao Meixin, who was driving a red BMW, realized that someone was watching her from behind.

In her haste, she slammed on the gas and sped off, trying to shake off her pursuers.

Unfortunately, her opponent was very persistent, and no matter how Zhao Meixin changed her route, she couldn't shake them off.

They were even intercepted by the other party at an intersection.

But at that moment, an SUV suddenly appeared and crashed into the person who was following them.

The two people inside the car were knocked unconscious on the spot by the impact.

The SUV window rolled down, and a man wearing a face mask made a gesture at Zhao Meixin before driving away.

Still shaken, Zhao Meixin was wondering who had been targeting her.

Just then, her cell phone rang.

A text message from an unknown number appeared on my phone, which read: "You don't necessarily need to find Xu Youcai to launder money in Hong Kong."

"It's money laundering again!" Chen Jiajun glanced at the report Silva brought and said with a sneer, "Looks like DOA hasn't given up yet!"

Silva laughed and said, "Since they know who you are, they still dare to come all the way to Hong Kong. They probably just want to provoke you!"

"Clowns!" Chen Jiajun said with a sneer. "So, they've got their eyes on Xu Youcai's business?"

Silva nodded: "Currently, the only person in Hong Kong who can help people launder money is Xu Youcai! Unfortunately, Xu Youcai is in trouble himself now."

"How so?" Chen Jiajun asked curiously.

Silva took out Zhao Meixin's photo and said calmly, "It's all because of this woman!"

"This woman... is quite pretty. What's her background?" Chen Jiajun asked, frowning.
“Our investigation revealed that this woman obtained Hong Kong residency through investment immigration several years ago, and her background is extremely mysterious! All we know is that she frequently travels between the mainland and Hong Kong.” Silva shook his head and said, “You don’t allow us to enter the mainland, so the specific details are not very clear!”

"However, this time the Hong Kong Business Federation's Wealth Investigation Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption have both set their sights on her and Xu Youcai. I think this is no small matter."

After listening to Silva's report, Chen Jiajun immediately felt that there was something wrong: "It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"

“I think so too!” Silva said calmly. “That’s why I’ve already sent people to keep an eye on Xu Youcai and Zhao Meixin. As long as the DOA people want Xu Youcai’s business, they definitely won’t let these two go.”

"Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump is a stupid method, but I think it should yield some results!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said noncommittally, "Don't stop your investigation. I'll try to see if there are any breakthroughs through other channels."

"Got it, boss!"

……

At this moment, inside a grocery store in Kowloon.

There were people walking around inside, and several menacing-looking guys were guarding the door.

A moment later, Xu Youcai's henchman, He Dacheng, walked in.

A burly-looking man was already waiting there, looking impatient.

After sitting down, He Dacheng said to the man, "Mr. Liu has a lot of business in the Philippines, right?"

"As long as there's money to be made, I'll do anything! Don't you think so?" Boss Liu said casually, exhaling a puff of smoke.

He Dacheng continued, "The new president is cracking down on laundry detergent..."

But before He Dacheng could continue his nonsense, Boss Liu interrupted him directly, saying, "Don't talk nonsense to me. Twenty million US dollars a month, can you do it?"

“The amount is not a problem!” He Dacheng said with a smile.

But Boss Liu continued, his eyes sharp, "So, can you actually do it?"

"No problem!" He Dacheng said, his expression somewhat unnatural.

Boss Liu immediately flew into a rage: "A piece of cake? I think you're the one who's a piece of cake! I don't want to waste my time with someone like you. If you can't do it, then let me see your boss!"

Upstairs, Xu Youcai was watching the surveillance footage.

This guy must have some skills to be able to thrive even when the Hong Kong underworld is gradually declining.

His suspicious nature and reluctance to trust strangers, while costing him considerable business, have also prevented the Hong Kong police from finding any fault with him over the years.
At this moment, the person who had previously helped Zhao Meixin pass through customs came in.

He took the cash Xu Youcai handed him, then looked at the surveillance video and said, "What's going on?"

Xu Youcai said casually, "They say it's from the Philippines smuggling laundry detergent, but I don't know if that's true!"

The customs officer laughed, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said to He Dacheng in Filipino, "Say it again, last week, two Chinese people were killed in the Philippines. They were laundry detergent sellers. Do you know them?"

He Dacheng was taken aback at first, then repeated what the customs officer had said. Boss Liu immediately laughed: "Those two men are both my brothers, one surnamed Chen, the other surnamed Wang. I'm so sad!"

"Are you kidding me?" Boss Liu's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped the coffee on the table away, pointing at He Dacheng and saying, "If you were in Manila, you would be dead already!"

He Dacheng spread his hands and said, "Let's just chat casually. If we don't like it, we won't chat!"

"I'm done talking!" Boss Liu picked up his cigarette case, stood up, and prepared to leave.

But at that moment, He Dacheng received Xu Youcai's order: "Bring him up to see me!"

He Dacheng immediately spoke up to stop him: "Mr. Liu, please wait a moment. Our boss intends to speak with you personally!"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Boss Liu immediately revealed a subtle smile.

They followed He Dacheng directly upstairs.

Meanwhile, several police officers were sitting in the parking lot at the bottom of the building.

One of the team leaders immediately said, "Inspector Liu has found Xu Youcai, prepare to move in!"

He then led his men, grabbed their sidearms, and got out of the car.

However, they clearly underestimated Xu Youcai's caution.

Just as He Dacheng was about to take Boss Liu to Xu Youcai's office.

He Dacheng suddenly heard Xu Youcai's furious voice through his earpiece: "There are police downstairs!"

He Dacheng immediately drew his gun and pressed it against Boss Liu's forehead, coldly saying, "Damn it, you brought this?"

Mr. Liu asked, looking puzzled, "What did you say?!"

There was no need for explanation anymore; Xu Youcai rushed out of his office in a panic.

They were blocked in the corridor of the building by two groups of people.

"Don't move, police officer, put your gun down!"

No one expected that not only the Joint Financial Investigation Bureau was targeting Xu Youcai, but the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was too, and the two groups just happened to run into each other during their operations.

This is going to be a real problem.

Xu Youcai and his group still have Liu Sir in their hands, so none of the three groups dare to make any rash moves.

Just then, a man rushed down carrying a fire extinguisher, opened the valve, and sprayed out a cloud of white powder.

It immediately blocked the view of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and police officers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Youcai and his men immediately scattered and fled.

The police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption gave chase, but unfortunately, the group managed to escape.

Neither the police nor the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) wanted to see something like this happen.

So the two sides exchanged information, but both came to the same conclusion: to find Xu Youcai.

As for the ICAC wanting that customs officer, that is, Dick Wai-kit.

The police, on the other hand, are looking for Zhao Meixin.

……

Xu Youcai, who had just ascended to heaven, showed no intention of keeping a low profile.

They continued to do business with great fanfare.

For a gangster like him, being confronted by the police was a piece of cake.

If he's afraid of this and that, how can he continue doing business?
Moreover, the boss behind Zhao Meixin is a huge piece of meat for him.

As the saying goes, "Man dies for wealth, birds die for food," Xu Youcai certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by.

So the next day, he met with Chiu Mei-yan at a laundry shop in Kowloon.

Zhao Meixin brought a cash box with her. Upon entering the laundromat, she didn't waste any time, immediately opening the box and placing a laptop in front of Xu Youcai, saying, "Mr. Xu, it's up to you now!"

He Dacheng was still boasting on the side, saying, "This is no big deal at all, just ten million. We can just sneeze it off!"

With a smile on his lips, Xu Youcai immediately contacted his subordinate via text message.

No one would have guessed that Xu Youcai, this gangster, was laundering money in a perfectly legitimate way.

He had a powerful inside man at New Development Bank in Hong Kong who could use many inactive accounts in the bank to transfer money between each other and launder the money.

What Xu Youcai didn't expect was that he was not only being watched by the police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), but also being completely controlled by another group of people.

Just as the inside man was making his move at the bank, the police showed up at the door.

In a panic, the mole immediately grabbed the computer that was being used for money laundering and prepared to leave the bank through the fire escape.

Just then, a dark figure appeared behind the mole and struck him on the back of the head with a blunt object.

The accomplice immediately lost his balance and fell down the fire escape.

His neck was broken by the stairs, and he died without uttering a sound.

The shadowy figure picked up the laptop from the mole's hand and quickly left the spot.

Back at Xu Youcai's side, after waiting for several minutes, Zhao Meixin still hadn't seen the money transferred to her account, and she immediately became somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, Xu Youcai and his subordinate He Dacheng made very confident statements, but the actual results were not as quick as she had imagined.

Xu Youcai immediately reassured Zhao Meixin, then called his inside contact.

But to his surprise, the call wasn't answered by his inside contact, but by a complete stranger.

Xu Youcai panicked immediately and quickly hung up the phone.

"If it doesn't work, then forget it!"

Zhao Meixin had lost her patience. She stood up, closed the money box, and prepared to leave.

Xu Youcai quickly reassured him, "It's alright, don't worry!"

He Dacheng also tried to dissuade him, saying, "Don't worry, it'll be taken care of soon!"

But at that moment, a group of people suddenly barged into Xu Youcai's laundry shop.

The man at the head of the group, dressed in a flamboyant white suit, wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar, said with an arrogant expression, "So it's because you can't handle it!"

He Dacheng immediately said to the man with displeasure, "Who are you? What do you do?"

The man remained silent, seemingly disdainful of arguing with someone like He Dacheng.

A burly man next to him punched He Dacheng, knocking him to the ground. Then he strangled He Dacheng with both hands until He Dacheng died.

Seeing this guy kill someone as soon as he walked in, not only Zhao Meixin, but even Xu Youcai, who had seen many storms, panicked.

He waved his hands frantically, saying with a look of terror, "No, no!" (End of Chapter)
