Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

After regaining consciousness, Cai Tianming felt a sudden chill in his heart.

Because the moment he looked up, he saw a policeman guarding the door of the ward.

This completely extinguished any last shred of hope he had.

Once the police find out he's involved in drug manufacturing, he'll definitely be taken to the shooting range for a shooting contest.

At this moment, Cai Tianming's mind started working at lightning speed.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the hospital corridor, followed by a scream.

It turned out that one of the drug sacs in one of the people Zhang Lei had arrested earlier had ruptured inside his body.

This situation immediately threw the area outside the corridor into chaos.

At this moment, Cai Tianming saw the police officers who had been guarding him and curiously went outside.

Cai Tianming's eyes lit up immediately. He quickly unplugged his ventilator, got out of bed, and slipped out from behind the police.

The moment he stepped out the door, Cai Tianming felt as if he could stop breathing.

Fortunately, his movements were very subtle and did not attract the attention of the policeman.

When the police discovered that Cai Tianming had disappeared from the bed, they panicked and immediately gave chase.

At that moment, Cai Tianming covered his face with a cup and hid in the corridor behind the policeman, watching him leave in a hurry.

After a smile, Cai Tianming quickly went downstairs through the fire escape.

Just as they were about to leave, they bumped into a man and a woman.

Cai Tianming has been in this line of work for a long time and is very sensitive about his identity as a police officer.

Upon seeing the man and woman, one can immediately tell that they are police officers.

So, using the crowd as cover, Cai Tianming immediately headed deeper into the hospital.

Zhang Lei also spotted Cai Tianming and immediately gave chase.

Just then, they ran into the police officers who had come out to guard Cai Tianming. The police officer immediately said to Zhang Lei, "Captain Zhang, that kid got away!"

"Chase them! Seal off the hospital exits!"

Zhang Lei immediately called for backup, and all the hospital entrances and exits were sealed off.

They then followed behind Cai Tianming.

The two pursued each other and soon arrived at the second basement level of the hospital.

Zhang Lei laid a trap, giving Cai Tianming no chance to escape.

After entering the morgue, Zhang Lei glanced at the handle of the morgue cabinet and immediately shouted, "Get out!"

At this moment, Cai Tianming held a scalpel in his hand, looking ready to fight to the death at any moment.

But when Zhang Lei immediately noticed something was wrong with the morgue, he knocked on the door and coldly rebuked him.

Cai Tianming had no choice but to put down his scalpel, push the corpse aside, and sit up.

After kneeling down with practiced ease, he raised his hands high.

……

"My colleagues at Jinhai told me that they had unexpectedly caught Cai Tianming."

Big Circle Leopard looked at Chen Jiajun with a strange expression.

I thought this arrangement was going to backfire, but unexpectedly, my colleagues in Tianjin caught Cai Tianming by sheer coincidence.

Although it deviates somewhat from their plans, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, this case is thanks to your mainland police. I'm just assisting by providing some information."

"Then... what do we do next?" Big Circle Leopard frowned and said, "This will definitely disrupt the plan, and I can't let Jinhai City release the people!"

Chen Jiajun said with a puzzled look, "Why release them? This Captain Zhang has saved us a lot of trouble!"

"Huh?" Big Circle Leopard was a little confused by Chen Jiajun's words.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Since you say that Captain Zhang Lei is a front-line anti-drug police officer, then his professional intuition is no less than yours or mine. If Cai Tianming falls into his hands, do you think he won't dig deeper?"

Big Circle Leopard's eyes lit up immediately: "That's right! As long as he's willing to dig deeper, then things will be simple!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "When the time comes, you can go and talk to the person in charge of Jinhai City. Our plan can still proceed smoothly, there's no difference! I think you wouldn't mind sharing some of the credit with these anti-drug police officers!"

Big Circle Leopard waved his hand and said, "I wouldn't stoop to stealing credit from rank-and-file officers!"

Big Circle Leopard has already made enough contributions; all he needs to do is accumulate seniority.

Therefore, we don't place too much importance on merit; as long as we can solve these malignant tumors, that's enough.

If Chen Jiajun hadn't reminded him this time, he wouldn't have known that things had gone so wrong.

There are even Hong Kong people who dare to build kitchens in their hometowns. If someone else exposes this first, he, as the deputy director, will definitely be in deep trouble.

As for whether this matter is related to Cai Yuanqi, that's beyond what Big Circle Leopard can handle.

"By the way, should we handle these clubs, you or me?" Chen Jiajun suddenly asked.

This time, these organizations jointly created "Li Zhenbiao," which made Chen Jiajun and Daquanbao lose face.

Chen Jiajun and Big Circle Leopard will definitely not let them off easily.

After a moment of silence, the big-circled leopard said, "I'll do it! I'll slap them. If you do it, I suspect a lot of people will die."

The leopard represents something that they wouldn't dare to resist even if slapped.

If Chen Jiajun makes a move, Big Circle Leopard suspects this will be another bloodbath.

Doing this is not good for the reputation of my hometown.

Chen Jiajun shrugged and said casually, "Since that's the case, then you can do it!"

Big Circle Leopard nodded and said, "As for Cai Yuanqi's matter, I have already reported it to my superiors, and we should have a result in the next few days!"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "After all, he is the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong, so it is indeed something that should be carefully considered."

This matter has implicated Cai Yuanqi, and whether he likes it or not, he can no longer serve as the Commissioner of Police.

However, Chen Jiajun did not intend to have him published in the newspaper directly, since he was the one he had chosen.

If you take direct action, it's easy to offend people.

Although Chen Jiajun is no longer afraid of anyone, his business and family are still in Hong Kong.

There's no need to make enemies over something like this.

The two chatted for a while, and then news came from the police station in Jinhai City.

Big Circle Leopard and Chen Jiajun went directly to Jinhai City.

……

At this moment, Zhang Lei was investigating Cai Tianming's mobile phone.

As for Cai Tianming himself, he was taken back to the police station by Zhang Lei's subordinates for photo documentation.

The same number called Cai Tianming's mobile phone dozens of times, which made Zhang Lei suspicious.

So they contacted the communications department and quickly located the source of the signal.

Deputy Captain Xiao Bei informed Zhang Lei: "We've located the signal source; it's on Gaokai Road."

Zhang Lei nodded and immediately headed towards Gaokai Road with several subordinates. Upon arrival, Zhang Lei said, "We've arrived."

"Go straight, turn right onto Deming Road, and then onto Nanshan Road," Xiao Bei said to Zhang Lei, looking at the security camera.

Following Xiao Bei's directions, Zhang Lei quickly found a suspicious vehicle.

Meanwhile, a red car was closely following the target vehicle.

I took a closer look inside the red car and saw that there was still some unfinished instant noodles and a water bottle for urinating.

Zhang Lei knew that the two people in the car had definitely been following them for more than just a short while.

Looking at the license plate and the two men's attire, Zhang Lei quickly identified them.

The two people in the red car are definitely police officers, and they are tracking the target vehicle.

Zhang Lei smiled and picked up the walkie-talkie, saying to his subordinates, "Oh, it's a colleague. Say hello to both of you!"

Upon hearing this, the subordinate immediately smiled and drove the car over, blocking the red car.

The two people in the red car immediately honked their horns, and at that moment Zhang Lei drove alongside them.

Upon seeing this, the people inside the car immediately became alert and reached for the gun in the holster next to them.

Seeing the two men's wary expressions, Zhang Lei smiled, took out his identification, and gestured for them to roll down the car window.

Zhang Lei then tossed a cell phone over. Once the call connected, he immediately identified himself: "Brother, I'm Zhang Lei, the captain of the Tianjin Narcotics Control Team. This is my colleague, Xiao Xiang."

"Hello, Captain Zhang, this is Guo Weijun from the Yuejiang Narcotics Control Team, Cheng Shixiong." Guo Weijun answered the phone and identified himself.

Zhang Lei chuckled and asked, "Hello, what's the situation with that truck up ahead?"

"They're carrying raw materials for drug production!" Guo Weijun said. "Team Leader Zhang, you should have heard of Li Zhenbiao, right?"

"Damn, who hasn't heard of people working in drug enforcement? They've just never seen one, haha!" Zhang Lei said with a laugh.

Guo Weijun nodded and said, "We suspect this is his cargo. We spotted this truck yesterday and ended up following it for a whole day and night, all the way from Yuejiang to Jinhai."

"You've worked hard, brothers. Take a break. My colleagues will assist you." Zhang Lei gestured.

Guo Weijun nodded to Cheng Shixiong, then immediately stopped the car and rushed to the roadside to unbuckle his belt and relieve himself.

Clearly, they hadn't used the restroom in a long time because they were following this vehicle; all the water bottles inside were full.

Zhang Lei drove his car up to the truck and saw the person inside making a phone call.

At that moment, the cell phone that Zhang Lei had intercepted from Cai Tianming's car rang.

Now we can confirm the relationship between the two parties.

Zhang Lei took out a walkie-talkie and said to his subordinate, "Xiao Xiang, you follow them!"

After saying that, Zhang Lei stepped on the gas and drove straight back to the police station.

By this time, Xiao Bei and his team had completed all of Cai Tianming's formalities, and as soon as Zhang Lei returned, the two began a formal interrogation.

Cai Tianming was very nervous at this moment, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

After all, for what he did, even being executed ten times wouldn't be enough.

Beckham picked up the documents and said directly, "Cai Tianming, 39 years old, from Hong Kong."

Cai Tianming did not deny it and nodded.

Zhang Lei asked, "Do you know a green truck with the license plate number Yue XXXX?"

Cai Tianming's heart sank immediately, and his mind raced.

Zhang Lei didn't give him a chance to think, and took out his phone to continue asking, "You don't know? This is your phone. The people on the truck called you thirty-three times. What's going on?"

"We found your drug manufacturing plant on Lishuang Road. The explosion killed two men and one woman. The woman was your wife, and the men were her two brothers!"

"Can we talk?" Zhang Lei stared at Cai Tianming coldly and said, "Do you know that according to Article 34 of my country's Criminal Law, manufacturing more than 50 grams of drugs can be punishable by death? I bet you didn't use grams, you should use tons!"

As he was speaking, Cai Tianming's phone rang again.

Zhang Lei held up his phone and said, "The thirty-fourth time, shall I answer it for you?"

Finally, under Zhang Lei's persistent questioning, Cai Tianming spoke up: "The truck... help me transport some raw materials. I need to rush a shipment to Brother Haha!"

"Where is it going live?"

"Li Zhenbiao!"

Seeing that the guy was willing to talk, Zhang Lei immediately relaxed and continued to ask, "What does the number text message in the phone mean?"

"The code for the old pager," Cai Tianming honestly confessed.

"What was the meaning of the last text message?" Zhang Lei asked again.

Cai Tianming blurted out, "Tonight at Jinhai, Jinma Hotel, see you there, Brother Chang, haha."

The police, of course, couldn't just believe him like that. Xiao Bei asked, "What's the paging number?"

“Jiaxun.” Cai Tianming didn’t lie, because he knew that if he didn’t want to be executed, he would have to give the police enough credit so that they could help him get a reduced sentence.

Although Cai Tianming had mentally prepared himself, a strong sense of resentment still welled up in his heart when he sat in the chair of regret.

He didn't want to die!
Xiao Bei checked Jiaxun's paging service number and found it matched what Cai Tianming had said, so he nodded to Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei looked up and asked, "Who is Brother Chang?"

"Li Shuchang, Li Zhenbiao's nephew!"

"Does Li Shuchang know Haha?"

“I don’t know them!” Cai Tianming shook his head and said, “I’ll act as the middleman tonight and arrange for them to meet!”

As he was speaking, Cai Tianming's phone rang again.

Cai Tianming knew that with just this little bit of evidence, even a reduced sentence wouldn't be much.

He steeled himself and spoke to Zhang Lei again, saying, "I have two apprentices and a larger factory in Ezhou. I can send a truck to pick it up. If I don't deliver on time, Li Zhenbiao will become suspicious."

Cai Tianming was clever; he deliberately used this message to attract Zhang Lei's attention.

If the police become interested in this lead, then he will have the opportunity to operate within it.

Even if that doesn't work, it can at least reduce my sentence.

So he continued, "I don't want the death penalty. Give me a chance to redeem myself. I just want a suspended death sentence in exchange. There's no time, Captain Zhang!"

Cai Tianming was cunning; although his tone was pleading, he was actually putting pressure on Zhang Lei.

In the end, Zhang Lei couldn't resist the chance to completely dismantle this connection, so he agreed to Cai Tianming's request and let him answer the phone.

On the other end of the phone, the truck driver's groggy voice came through: "I've been driving around here... for nine hours straight. I've called... called you over nine thousand times!"

"The boiler exploded!" Cai Tianming shouted into the phone. "Go to Ezhou now, I'll come find you."

After hanging up the phone, Cai Tianming looked at Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei nodded, had his handcuffs removed, and prepared to meet with Brother Haha and Li Shuchang that evening to thoroughly understand their workings.

Just as Zhang Lei was preparing, two men in uniforms and one man in a suit walked in.

Zhang Lei recognized one of them and said with some surprise, "Director Liu, what brings you here? Has this case gotten you involved?"

Director Liu of Tianjin City said with a smile, "No, it's two friends who are looking for you. This is Director Shi from Guangdong Province, and this is Mr. Chen Jiajun from Hong Kong."

Zhang Lei was stunned, wondering what these two wanted from him.

Big Circle Leopard said to Director Liu, "Old Liu, is there a quieter meeting room here? We need to have a good talk with Captain Zhang."

Director Liu nodded and led a few people into the conference room.

After they sat down, Big Circle Leopard handed a stack of documents to Zhang Lei.

After Zhang Lei opened it and glanced at it, his expression immediately changed: "Director Shi, what is this?"

“We’ve been watching these people for a long time. You probably don’t know, do you? The so-called drug lord Li Zhenbiao is not actually one person!” Big Leopard gave Zhang Lei a small shock right from the start.

"Not just one person? What do you mean?" Zhang Lei's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Big Circle Leopard laughed and said, "That Cai Tianming just said his superior is Li Zhenbiao, right? This guy is trying to mislead you!"

As he spoke, Big Circle Leopard glanced at Chen Jiajun, who lit a cigar and said casually, "The so-called Li Zhenbiao is the boss of several triads in Hong Kong, who established a tourism company! They specialize in sending raw materials from overseas to their hometown, then using the kitchens here to process them into finished products, which are then sold by human traffickers in their hometown!"

"This process is very complicated, and it's absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to find out Li Zhenbiao's background! I have some information here, you might want to take a look."

Zhang Lei quickly opened the information Chen Jiajun had given him and saw several photos of Hong Kong triad bosses.

Chen Jiajun introduced him: "This person is called Master Que, and he is an uncle of Lian Sheng. This person is called Kou Shui Su, and he is Bai Zhi Shan and a lawyer in Lian Sheng."

“When Cai Tianming was a teenager, he was already a member of the Wo Luen Shing Society. He worked under Master Que and was a drug dealer who distributed drugs for him. Later, he gained Master Que’s trust and was promoted to ‘cook’. Later, due to a mistake, he sold the drugs to the daughter of an Englishman who worked in the police force and was wanted by the Hong Kong police.”

"Left with no other choice, this guy changed his name to Cai Guohua and returned to his hometown of Yuezhou, where he married and had children. A few years later, because he was broke, he simply went back to his old ways and reconnected with Master Que."

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's introduction, Zhang Lei instinctively wanted to question it.

However, seeing that Chen Jiajun came with two department heads, he was clearly not a nobody.

So, suppressing his doubts, he frowned and said, "So, this Master Que is Li Zhenbiao?"

"No?" Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "To be precise, they are all Li Zhenbiao!"

"The crackdown on organized crime in Hong Kong has been going on for a long time, which has made these triads afraid to show their faces, let alone any gang that dares to openly traffic drugs. So they set up a travel company as a cover and then do their work secretly."

"Their real mastermind is this guy who works with Jing Li's white paper fan, named Fei Cheng. He's in charge of devising the plan and is considered a fairly intelligent fellow."

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Zhang Lei had a basic understanding: "So, that Li Shuchang..."

"An actor, of course!" Chen Jiajun said casually. "There is indeed a person named Li Zhenbiao, but he's just a puppet controlled by them. They're the ones in charge!"

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun took out several photos, which showed the actor Li Shuchang interacting with several triad bosses.

Zhang Lei saw the photos and was certain that Cai Tianming had tricked the police.

This guy wanted to live, but he didn't tell the police everything he knew.

Zhang Lei thought that if they really followed Cai Tianming's instructions and something went wrong... (End of Chapter)
