Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Ding Qing is a very kind guy; these things are not enough to repay the gang leader that Chen Jiajun gave him.

So he said to Chen Jiajun, "Although we can't continue investigating this gene company, we can continue investigating these human traffickers. I'll let you know when I have the results!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

After talking with Ding Qing, Chen Jiajun got into his car and returned to his intelligence base in South Korea.

The intelligence officer, holding the documents, frowned and said, "Boss, this company..."

"What, you've seen this company before?" Chen Jiajun asked the intelligence officer curiously.

"I've never seen this company before, but this logo... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before?" the intelligence officer said, frowning as he looked at the logo in the photo.

"Where?" Chen Jiajun pressed.

The intelligence officers immediately rushed to the bookshelf where the intelligence was kept and searched through it. They quickly found the source of the mark in one of the intelligence reports.

"Mercenaries?" Chen Jiajun seemed somewhat surprised.

The intelligence officer nodded and said, "A mercenary organization that has only recently emerged, and their mission completion rate is just as high as our Guojun Security Company's, 100%!"

"Moreover, they are very mysterious. Every time they carry out a mission, they kill all the witnesses at the scene, leaving no survivors!"

"So far, information about this mercenary group is pitifully scarce. We don't even know how many of them there are or what kind of people they are!"

Chen Jiajun frowned: "This is interesting! Old Evil, come here!"

No sooner had Chen Jiajun finished speaking than the old man's voice rang out behind him: "What is it, boss!"

"Go with the intelligence agents and find out what this gene company is all about!"

Old Evil nodded: "Okay!"

That very night, Old Evil led an intelligence team directly to the location of the gene company.

The gene company's testing sites are all in relatively remote locations.

Moreover, there are many security measures along the way, making it very difficult for ordinary people to sneak in undetected.

However, this was no problem for Chen Jiajun's intelligence organization.

The old villain led his intelligence team straight in and arrived at the entrance of the laboratory.

Before they even entered, the old evil spirit exclaimed in surprise, then said angrily, "The aura of a demon!"

The intelligence chief exclaimed in surprise, "There really is! What the hell are these bastards up to?"

The old evil man continued, "Although the aura is rather mixed, that's definitely the case! What do you think?"

After a moment's thought, the intelligence chief said, "We don't know how many testing sites this gene company has yet, so we can't act rashly!"

Old Evil nodded: "The auras of these people are too mixed. If we make a move, we will definitely alert them."

"That's enough for today!" The intelligence chief had his men take a few photos, and then quietly left.

……

At this moment, Chen Jiajun was watching TV idly inside the liaison point.

Chen Jiajun has always looked down on Korean idol dramas.

While idly pressing buttons on the remote, he suddenly came across a talent show, and a pretty little girl caught his attention.

It wasn't that the little girl had any special appeal, but rather that she displayed a peculiar ability while participating in the talent show.

The microphone in her hand started to float up as she sang.

"Huh!" Chen Jiajun immediately sat up straight, looking surprised, and said, "A superpowered person? But why would they display it in this kind of situation?"

Since these talent shows are all broadcast live, Chen Jiajun doesn't think this is any kind of program effect.

After all, the host next to him and the audience below the stage were also so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Interesting!" Chen Jiajun immediately summoned his intelligence agents.

"Boss, you're actually interested in watching talent shows?" The intelligence officer walked over, looking bewildered, and found Chen Jiajun watching a talent show, and said with a bit of a laugh.

Chen Jiajun, annoyed, had the recorded footage shown to the intelligence personnel and said, "I need to find this girl's information as quickly as possible, and keep an eye on her!"

"Hmm, this girl... is quite peculiar!" The intelligence officer immediately nodded and said, "I'll take care of it right away! Anyway, we still have control of the police's household registration system; all we need to do is go to the TV station!"

Chen Jiajun instructed, "Don't act rashly. I think this girl might be the key to breaking this deadlock!"

"Gu Ziyun, so this girl is just an ordinary high school student from the countryside?" Chen Jiajun said with amusement when he saw the information.

The intelligence officer said with a look of shame, "At least that's what I found out! She was adopted by a couple on a rural farm when she was ten years old, and she never showed any abnormalities. As for before that... it's a complete blank."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Interesting, very interesting! This girl is definitely a product of that gene company! Yaqi, you've fought against these superpowered individuals before, do you know if they have this kind of ability?"

Yachi glanced at the information, nodded, and said, "Indeed, I can confirm it. These people are definitely from the same organization."

Looking at Gu Ziyun's photo, Chen Jiajun muttered to himself, "She hasn't shown any abnormalities for several years. Do you think she did it on purpose or accidentally?"

The intelligence officer was visibly taken aback upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words: "You mean, this girl... deliberately displayed her abilities?"

"This is a setup!" Chen Jiajun nodded. "She deliberately showcased this ability on a national talent show. What do you think she's trying to achieve?"

"Hiss!" The intelligence officer gasped, "Could this girl also be looking for the whereabouts of this gene company?"

“That’s very possible!” Chen Jiajun said, quite puzzled. “But I don’t understand why this girl is in such a hurry. With the enemy in the open and us in the dark, she should have plenty of time to search!”

"So what should we do now?" the intelligence officer asked, frowning.

Chen Jiajun spread his hands and said, "What else can we do but wait! We just have to wait for them to come to us."

……

In front of KBS television station in Seoul.

The latest variety show, "The Birth of a Superstar," is being held here. It's currently the most popular talent show in South Korea.

A large number of fans gathered at the entrance, holding posters to support their idols.

Just then, a taxi stopped at the entrance of the building, and two young girls got out and ran quickly into the broadcasting building.

Some fans on the street recognized one of the girls and shouted her name, "Gu Ziyun".

The two were about to be late, and without paying attention to the fans around them, they rushed into the building.

Upon seeing the two women arrive, the reporter quickly swiped their cards to let them into the building.

Today is the selection competition for the top 16, and all the amateurs are giving it their all.

Unexpectedly, when Koo Ja-yoon took the stage, she gained immense popularity and was highly regarded by the production team.

So when the list of those who advanced was released, as expected, Koo Ja-yoon, who had been performing exceptionally well, successfully advanced to the top 16.

Both girls were very happy to have successfully advanced.

However, because it was too late, the two had to catch the train home immediately.

After all, their families wouldn't allow two young girls to spend even a day in a city like Seoul.

Just as Gu Ziyun's best friend was about to flag down a taxi, the taxi drove off without even turning its head.

Just as her best friend was complaining, several black vans suddenly stopped in front of them.

Then a man with a scar on his face got out of the car and smiled at Gu Ziyun, saying, "Gu Ziyun, right?"

Judging from the man's appearance, she didn't think he was a good person, and asked very warily, "Who are you, sir?"

The man handed over his business card and continued, "I'd like to talk to you. I've seen the program."

Looking at the other person's business card, the best friend learned that the person's name was Cheng Zhuyuan and that he was the president of an entertainment company. She immediately stepped in front of Gu Ziyun and said, "If this is the case, please talk to me first!"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhuyuan pushed Gu Ziyun's best friend aside, walked up to her, and said, "It'll only take a moment, we won't chat for too long."

Koo Ja-yoon said with a weak expression, "But I have to catch my train now..."

"Really? Then get in the car, and we'll talk as we drive!" Cheng Zhuyuan immediately had his men open the door and made an inviting gesture.

Gu Ziyun looked troubled, but her best friend immediately flagged down a taxi, pulled Gu Ziyun into the car, and got in.

This is the entrance to the KBS building, and Sung Jo-won couldn't very well snatch someone in broad daylight, so he had no choice but to give up.

After getting into the car, Gu Ziyun seemed to be in low spirits and kept staring out the window in a daze.

When her best friend asked her what was wrong, she just shook her head and said nothing was wrong.

But when he returned to his small town in the countryside, another strange guy came knocking on his door.

The other person looked to be a boy of the same age as him. He had met him by chance on the train last time and said a lot of strange things to Gu Ziyun. This time was no different!
The man said to Gu Ziyun, "You're not waiting for the bus, are you? I just saw a bus stop far ahead because of a flat tire! What should we do? It's going to rain heavily!"

Faced with the man's words, Gu Ziyun seemed somewhat at a loss.

But the man wasn't going to let her off the hook. Biting his finger, he continued in that sickly tone, "I think you'd better go home quickly! After all, your parents are old, so it wouldn't be surprising if they suddenly died!"

"What?" Gu Ziyun immediately sensed something was wrong. "So I told you to hurry home and check on things. Good luck!" After saying that, the man rolled up the car window and drove away.

Upon hearing the man's words, Gu Ziyun immediately rushed home.

After all, besides her father, there was also her mother who had Alzheimer's disease.

As soon as her best friend came out of the convenience store, she saw Gu Ziyun running towards home like a madwoman, telling her to tell her father to hurry home and check on things.

She herself dialed the phone of an old policeman in town who had a good relationship with her family, asking him to go back and check on them.

When Gu Ziyun finally returned home, she discovered it was a false alarm.

It turned out that a sudden strong wind had snapped the telephone line and caused a power outage.

My parents are still at home and haven't gone out.

Just then, the older policeman arrived and said to Gu Ziyun, "I just saw two young men loitering in front of your house, and I chased them away! Do you know them?"

Gu Ziyun shook her head: "Don't you know him? What's wrong?"

“I checked their identities and they seem to be Americans! But I can’t find any information about them after checking carefully.” The old policeman glanced at the car in the distance and said to Gu Ziyun, “They don’t seem very likeable, they give off a strange vibe, and most importantly, why are they here?”

Gu Ziyun's home is technically in the Korean countryside, so it does seem quite suspicious that two Americans would come here.

Koo Ja-yoon shook her head blankly and said, "I don't know either. They probably mistook me for someone else!"

The old policeman didn't suspect anything, nodded and said, "Really? What a strange bunch. You're soaked from the rain, hurry inside!"

Gu Ziyun nodded and saw the old policeman off.

The weather was still terrible at night, with lightning and thunder outside.

Gu Ziyun suddenly woke up and touched her best friend by the bedside, who seemed to have gone to the bathroom.

She walked out of the room in her slippers, but as soon as she stepped out, she felt a cold metal object pressed against her forehead.

Turning around, I found that there were now several strangers in my house.

Meanwhile, her best friend was being held at knifepoint by this group of people.

These people were all carrying guns; you could tell at a glance they weren't good people.

Just then, a man came up from downstairs and said in a flippant tone, "My dear Gu Ziyun, how are you? We meet again! Or... should I call you little witch for you to remember me?"

This man was none other than Sung Jo-won, whom I had met at the entrance of the KBS building that day.

Gu Ziyun said innocently, "Why are you looking for me again? I told you you've mistaken me for someone else!"

Cheng Zhuyuan pointed to the scars on his face and neck and said coldly, "You really know how to play dumb. I almost died at your hands! How could you mistake me for someone else?"

"Uncles, please, it really isn't me, I'm not the person you're looking for!" Gu Ziyun's voice was trembling with tears.

"Then prove it to me!" Cheng Zhuyuan said coldly, "You say it wasn't you, then prove it to me!"

"How can I prove it?" Gu Ziyun asked weakly.

At that moment, Cheng Zhuyuan's men grabbed Gu Ziyun's best friend, and the knife in their hands had already cut her skin.

"Hee-young!" Koo Ja-yoon called out anxiously.

Cheng Zhuyuan said with a smile, "If this continues, your friend will die!"

Gu Ziyun's emotions surged violently: "I've said it wasn't me, I've said you've mistaken me for someone else, why are you bothering me? It really wasn't me..."

Then, Koo Ja-yoon suddenly elbowed the gunman next to him who was pointing a gun at his head, breaking his arm.

Pink bone fragments were sticking out, making it look incredibly terrifying.

Then Gu Ziyun snatched the pistol from the other party's hand and fired several shots, blowing the heads off the gunmen in front of her, including the guy who was holding her best friend hostage.

He then fired several shots downstairs without even looking, each one hitting the head.

Such abilities are not something a simple country girl would possess.

Before Cheng Zhuyuan could react, Gu Ziyun had already appeared in front of him.

Just as he was about to draw his gun, Gu Ziyun grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall.

The wall behind them was dented, which shows how powerful the blow was.

Cheng Zhuyuan was just an ordinary person, and after suffering such a heavy blow, he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Then Gu Ziyun punched the guy in the face repeatedly, saying, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me, don't you understand?"

Cheng Zhuyuan's face was covered in blood, and his head was drooping down. He was clearly dead!
Outside Gu Ziyun's house, the intelligence department was observing everything inside.

Seeing how violently Gu Ziyun dealt with the gunman inside the house, the intelligence officer couldn't help but marvel: "So decisive! This girl was definitely hiding something!"

Although the old evil spirit is blind, it can accurately sense the aura of evil energy.

He immediately frowned and said to the head of the intelligence team, "This girl... is very special!"

"Oh? Why?" the intelligence chief asked, looking puzzled.

The old evil spirit said calmly, "The aura of evil energy on her is exceptionally strong, far surpassing that of the brats we saw before!"

"What?" The intelligence chief was immediately surprised. "Is this true?"

The old man said confidently, "My intuition is spot on! If I had to describe her, she's a demon in human skin! I really want to kill her!"

"Hey, Old Evil, don't do anything reckless! We need to inform the boss first!" The intelligence officer was startled and quickly said to Old Evil.

Old Evil didn't say much and fell silent.

The intelligence officer immediately dialed Chen Jiajun's number and explained the situation to him.

Chen Jiajun immediately said, "Since the other party has resorted to assassination, it means that the gene company has come looking for us. Be careful not to be discovered. I'll be there as soon as I've dealt with things here!"

That's right, Chen Jiajun also has things to deal with.

Based on the previous lead on child and woman trafficking, Ding Qing found some clues.

This matter is being handled now.

According to the intelligence provided by Ding Qing last time, there are criminal groups in Seoul that specialize in kidnapping specific women and children.

And after several days of investigation, we finally made some progress.

Therefore, Chen Jiajun led a team to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, you've arrived!"

At the entrance of a nightclub in Seoul, Ding Qing was already waiting.

To make things easier, Ding Qing had already had the nightclub emptied out.

"They're inside?" After getting out of the car, Chen Jiajun headed straight for the nightclub. Ding Qing followed, saying, "Those guys are really stubborn. I've been beating them for two hours and they still won't say a word! We'll have to rely on your abilities!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and then entered the nightclub.

In a dimly lit private room, two human traffickers lay on the floor, their faces bruised and swollen, as Ding Qing's men punched and kicked them, interrogating them.

Upon seeing Ding Qing arrive, the two subordinates immediately stopped what they were doing, shook their heads at Ding Qing, and said, "Boss, these two guys still haven't said anything!"

Ding Qing waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.

Chen Jiajun went in and, without saying a word, changed into Bai Lu's clothes and came over.

Bai Lu, who had her eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them, and the bright light in her eyes startled Ding Qing.

That gaze seemed to see right through a person's internal organs, almost making Ding Qing explode.

Bai Lu stared at the two human traffickers for a moment, then turned to Chen Jiajun and said, "Boss, their leader is a guy named Mr. Cui, and this guy seems to be a bit different from others."

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun frowned and said, "Also a superpowered person?"

“It should be!” Bai Lu said with a frown, “According to these guys’ memories, they did see extraordinary abilities in Mr. Cui!”

"And they've collaborated with another superpowered team, helping them cover up their crimes! Apparently, it was Professor Han, a genetics expert, whose entire family was murdered, and then they set fire to the site to destroy the evidence!"

After hearing this, Chen Jiajun became even more curious: "A genetics expert was just silenced like that? It seems this gene company is trying to destroy evidence! I'm getting more and more curious about this!"

Ding Qing was terrified when he heard their conversation.

He was just a gang leader; I never imagined the waters here were so deep.

He immediately stopped his curiosity and decided to let the matter fester on his own.

Chen Jiajun turned to Ding Qing and said, "You'd better put a gag order on your subordinates about this, or you'll get into trouble!"

Ding Qing nodded quickly and said, "I know nothing about what happened today!"

"A smart man!" Chen Jiajun nodded, then turned and left. (End of Chapter)
