Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Soon after, an SUV drove up to the pier by the sea.

A man with a dark expression got out of the car.

This guy is also a member of the Brotherhood, and the local councilor is named Rodney.

After getting out of the car, he said to Ji Shaoqun, "What exactly happened? Why did you do this?"

Ji Shaoqun kept his hand on his gun; the previous double-cross had made him extremely vigilant.

He said calmly to Luo Decai, "It's none of your business. Where's the money?"

Left with no other choice, Rod had one of his men bring over the two boxes, which, when opened, were filled with bundles of US dollars.

Ji Shaoqun casually took out a stack of papers, looked at them, and nodded after confirming their authenticity.

Luo Decai didn't really care about Ji Shaoqun; what he cared about was the shipment. It was because of that shipment that they could convert it into money and continue the Brotherhood's plans.

So after seeing Ji Shaoqun finish counting the money, Luo De immediately asked, "Where's the goods?"

Ji Shaoqun waved a few times at a fishing boat on the shore, and then the winch on the fishing boat lifted the two large boxes from the seabed.

Ji Shaoqun looked coldly at Luo Decai and said, "We're even!"

After saying that, he picked up the two boxes filled with money and boarded the fishing boat.

Rod finally managed to get the police's evidence box upstairs, entered the password, and opened it to check.

Sure enough, inside were packets of laundry detergent waiting to be destroyed.

Rod breathed a sigh of relief and was about to have his men leave with the two boxes.

But at that moment, a large number of police sirens suddenly sounded, and in no time, a group of police officers surrounded the dock.

Two news vans even rushed over from the other side.

Several reporters and photographers carrying video cameras were filming this area from the outside.

Rod was completely stunned, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.

Then he thought of Ji Shaoqun's attitude before, and it seemed like there was something wrong with it no matter how you looked at it.

Moreover, given the timing, it's highly likely that it was that bastard Ji Shaoqun who called the police.

Enraged, Luo Decai cursed, "Ji Shaoqun, you bastard, you'll die a horrible death!"

Caught red-handed, even with his status as a senator, Rhodes couldn't clear his name.

Despite his vehement denials, the police simply did not believe his lies.

It's important to know that the police were under immense pressure regarding this robbery, and even the Security Bureau was held accountable.

No one's word matters anymore!

Moreover, on the same day, news that Congressman Rodney had sent people to rob the police transporting laundry detergent that was about to be destroyed made headlines in major newspapers and on the midday news of various television stations.

The entire city of Hong Kong was in an uproar, and even the Chief Executive was alarmed.

What followed was a large-scale investigation.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has been working non-stop, extremely busy.

By the time Chen Jiajun saw the news, the matter had already been brewing for a while.

"Great, we've caught a big fish in the Brotherhood!" Chen Jiajun watched TV with a smile, then said to the intelligence department, "Release the rest of the information as well!"

Chen Jiajun went through so many twists and turns, meticulously planning step by step to lead the Brotherhood into a ditch.

What they wanted wasn't just to take down one of the Brotherhood's council members, but to expose all the rats in the Brotherhood's gutter, whether it was Rhodes or anyone else, as long as they were Brotherhood members.

As a result, major newspapers received an anonymous letter of accusation, the contents of which were shocking and outrageous!

No one expected that Guo Shirong and Zeng Guoshan would also be involved, as Zeng Guoshan was also a member of the Brotherhood!
It should be noted that Zeng Guoshan and his son were imprisoned not long ago, and now it has been revealed that there was a mastermind behind it all.

It was only then that the citizens of Hong Kong realized that there was a powerful organization called the Brotherhood that was secretly controlling everything within the upper echelons of Hong Kong.

Then, just as Chen Jiajun had predicted, the public opinion field exploded.

Countless complaint letters and phone calls flooded into various departments, and all complaint hotlines were overwhelmed.

Inside the fraternity's private clubhouse, everyone was silently smoking.

Their faces were filled with extreme annoyance.

Lai Wing-lim, in particular, was in a terrible state, pacing anxiously back and forth in the private room.

"Is there something wrong with Ji Shaoqun? Is he insane?!"

Li Yonglian roared furiously, "He's courting death! Does he really think that just because he fled abroad, we can't kill him? And that Luo Decai, he's a complete idiot, how did he get caught red-handed by the police!"

The woman said helplessly, "What's the use of cursing now? The most important thing is to solve the problem! Have you found out who is attacking us?"

"Who else could it be but the one you messed with before!" Li Yonglian said unhappily, "I've always told you not to touch Chen Jiajun. Chen Jiajun usually doesn't interfere in the affairs of the government."

"He had many opportunities to enter politics. For example, when he defeated Soros last time, he could have entered long ago if he wanted to! It's just that you wouldn't listen and liked to seek thrills for yourselves! Now look what happened, you've gone too far with the thrills!"

Chen Jiajun's actions were not intended to be kept secret from the Brotherhood members.

He always believed in reciprocity, and since the Brotherhood had provoked him before, he absolutely had to get revenge.

Moreover, it can't be done too secretly; what he wants is to provoke them openly.

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's name, everyone felt even more troubled.

Still seething with anger, Lai Wing-lim continued, "I even suspect that the Lai Chun-piu brand was ruined by Chan Ka-chun! Everyone knows he's the emperor of Hong Kong's underworld, and you dare to mess with him if you want to do this kind of business! You even got the Commissioner of Police, Choi Yuen-kei, into trouble!"

"Lydia, this was your idea, and now things have turned out like this. What are you going to do?"

The woman named Lydia looked very unpleasant. It was indeed her suggestion that had provoked Chen Jiajun.

But no one expected that Chen Jiajun would retaliate so swiftly and ruthlessly.

This situation is a real headache for everyone.

"Alright, everyone agreed on this, what's the point of you arguing with Lydia!" At this moment, a man spoke up to smooth things over: "We're all in this together, we always have to solve problems when they arise!"

“It’s not that I’m targeting Lydia, but how do we resolve this situation?” Li Yonglian said irritably. “The Chief Executive knows about this, and it’s hard to say whether they will launch an investigation into our Brotherhood!”

“There’s no other way, let’s go diving!” another man said after a moment of silence.

Lai Wing-lim's eyes widened: "Then what about my election?"

"What else can we do? We can only wait for the next election!" the man said, frowning. "The funds we have right now are simply not enough to support your campaign!"

"Damn it!" Li Yonglian slammed his wine glass to the ground and stormed out.

Ultimately, the matter ended with the fraternity going quiet and Raymond Lai withdrawing from the race for the position of Secretary for Justice.

It's fair to say that Chen Jiajun's move really hurt the Brotherhood.

Chen Jiajun didn't press the matter further, so he decided to stop while he was ahead.

……

“Uncle, the Brotherhood has completely gone into hiding. They even sent me a message telling me to keep a low profile lately!” Li Jiajun said to Chen Jiajun with a smile.

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Then you'd better behave yourself and not cause any trouble lately!"

Li Jiajun said with a wronged expression, "What trouble did I cause?"

Chen Jiajun laughed and scolded, "You think I don't know you, kid? Since you've taken on an undercover job, you have to do it well. The life of an undercover agent isn't that simple. If you slip up even a little, it'll be your life!"

"Uncle, I understand!" Li Jiajun nodded. His father and grandfather had both told him this before.

Although he has a somewhat eccentric personality, Li Jiajun has never been the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for him.

"Alright, take your time eating, I'm going back now!" Chen Jiajun patted Li Jiajun on the shoulder and said, "Go back and practice your counter-surveillance skills with your dad, so you won't even know you're being followed!"

"Huh?" Li Jiajun said in surprise, "I'm being followed?"

"Nonsense, do you think I was just talking for nothing? I had someone get rid of the people following you!" Chen Jiajun said irritably. "Remember that, be more discreet in the future!"

Li Jiajun broke out in a cold sweat and nodded hurriedly.

After teaching Li Jiajun a lesson, Chen Jiajun told the driver to take him home.

As they passed Kowloon, Chen Jiajun told the driver to stop: "Wait a minute, I'm going to Zhang Ji to buy a roast chicken, your sister-in-law likes to eat this stuff!"

The subordinate nodded, turned off the car, and parked it to the side to wait.

Chen Jiajun walked into a narrow alley and then entered a roast meat shop called Zhang Ji.

This shop has been open in Kowloon for a long time. Just two steps away is the entrance to the Kowloon Walled City, which was demolished by Chan Ka-Chun.

However, the Kowloon Walled City has now been destroyed, and just a little further on is a large shopping mall owned by Chan Ka-Chun.

The name Kowloon Walled City is now a thing of the past.

Kwan Ka-wai loves the roast chicken from this roast meat shop, and Chan Ka-chun always brings him one back whenever he returns to Hong Kong.

I'm already very familiar with this store.

However, as soon as Chen Jiajun stepped into the store, he immediately felt something was wrong; an indescribable chill permeated the store.

Chen Jiajun had only experienced this feeling in a few places.

The next moment, Chen Jiajun felt a darkness before his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was no longer in that roast meat shop.

Instead, it was in a shabby-dressed restaurant. "What's going on?" Chen Jiajun had never encountered this situation before, and his brows immediately furrowed.

The restaurant lights were on, but there seemed to be no one inside.

Chen Jiajun walked into the restaurant and found that the TV in the kitchen was still on.

There was no picture on the TV, only noise and static.

Chen Jiajun glanced around and saw that the kitchen walls were covered with a thick layer of grease, clearly indicating that no one had cleaned them.

Inside the pot on the stove, you can still clearly see oil stains and some food residue.

Three bowls of white rice and two side dishes were placed on a small table next to it.

Everything looked steaming hot, as if the food had just been prepared and the family was about to enjoy lunch.

"anyone there?"

Chen Jiajun tentatively asked a question, but the surrounding environment was eerily quiet.

Apart from the noise from the television, there was no other sound.

"Holy crap, what the hell am I seeing? What kind of ghost dares to come looking for me?" Chen Jiajun asked with a bewildered expression.

Having held a high position for so many years, Chen Jiajun was no longer as easily surprised by anything as he was when he transmigrated. So he grabbed a flashlight from the restaurant and left.

The outside world was pitch black, with not even two streetlights in sight, which made Chen Jiajun even more curious.

It's important to understand that Hong Kong's development over the years, while not comparable to that of my hometown, has been incredibly rapid.

However, there is still some basic infrastructure, much of which was donated by Hung Hing Charitable Foundation under Chan Ka-Chun's name.

In particular, the land that was originally part of Kowloon Walled City was donated by his companies.

just now……

Chen Jiajun shook his head and continued walking with the flashlight in his hand.

He soon saw a cluster of low-lying "houses".

Calling these things houses is an exaggeration; they're really just small cubicles made of sheet metal and wooden planks.

The electrical circuits and water pipes were exposed on the exterior wall, making it look messy.

The surrounding ground also seemed to have not been repaired for a long time, with potholes and puddles everywhere, making it look muddy and difficult to walk on.

Looking further into the distance, although it was pitch black and you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, some faint lights allowed Chen Jiajun to make out the outlines of the buildings.

The buildings stand close together, varying in height, with power lines flying haphazardly from utility poles, forming a large net that connects the surrounding structures.

"Damn it, the more I look at it, the more something seems off!"

Chen Jiajun muttered to himself, because these things in front of him reminded him of something.

That's the Kowloon Walled City that hasn't been completely eradicated yet!

"Damn, have I time-traveled again?" Chen Jiajun wondered as he walked.

The feeling when I first entered the roast meat shop was really strange.

Sure enough, Chen Jiajun soon noticed the somewhat mottled exterior walls of the house, clearly something that didn't belong to this century.

As he walked and looked around, Chen Jiajun soon spotted a low-rise building.

There are also several open-air arenas.

A small shop by the roadside with a sign that reads "Dog Meat Shop" had several large iron cages outside, with dried bloodstains still remaining on them.

The roadside ditches were littered with needles and folded tin foil, which convinced Chen Jiajun that he had indeed returned to Kowloon Walled City at some point in time.

Moreover, it was an empty Kowloon Walled City!

He had walked several hundred meters, but still hadn't seen a single person.

It's important to know that the population density in Kowloon Walled City was incredibly high; such a quiet environment simply didn't exist.

"Tsk, this is damn interesting!"

Chen Jiajun clicked his tongue in amazement; he truly hadn't expected something like this.

To be honest, although Chen Jiajun was involved in triads, he had never actually been to the Walled City.

Aside from the descriptions of the fortresses given to him by his men, he knew the same as everyone else.

Moreover, the Walled City folks have always been a separate group and don't often interact with outsiders.

All I know is that Master Ding is the boss of this stronghold, controlling everything inside, and then there's the most profitable underground boxing event.

However, Chen Jiajun had never seen any of these things in person, so now he has the opportunity.

As he walked, Chen Jiajun saw a place with lights on in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a casino.

The entrance to the casino was covered with a thick blanket, which emitted a foul stench.

With a look of disgust, Chen Jiajun found a bamboo pole, lifted the blanket, and walked into the casino.

The casino was brightly lit, with chips and banknotes scattered haphazardly on the tables.

There was even a burnt-out cigarette in the ashtray.

Chen Jiajun touched the cigarette ash; it was still slightly warm, indicating that the people here hadn't been gone for long.

Just as Chen Jiajun was cautiously probing, a faint cough suddenly came from outside.

Chen Jiajun rushed out as fast as he could.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Chen Jiajun saw a dark figure flash by in the distance.

"Wait!" Without saying a word, Chen Jiajun immediately chased after them.

Although the Kowloon Walled City was strange, Chan Ka-Chun was not afraid at all, relying on his skills and daring.

All he wants to do now is go back, so he needs to find someone to find out what exactly happened.

He rushed out but still couldn't catch up with the dark figure.

The other party seemed to teleport, disappearing from Chen Jiajun's sight in just a moment.

"Damn it, does this thing even make sense?!" Chen Jiajun said, somewhat annoyed.

Just as Chen Jiajun was getting angry, he suddenly heard the coughing sound from upstairs again.

Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "Looks like you're trying to lure me in! Fine, as you wish!"

With that, Chen Jiajun turned on his flashlight and headed upstairs.

In Kowloon Walled City, these tenement buildings housed many families on each floor, and the stairwells were extremely narrow.
And the most important thing here is... there's no elevator!
Chen Jiajun couldn't help but complain, "I've never climbed such a tall building in my entire life!"

Despite his complaints, Chen Jiajun, having pinpointed the location of the coughing sound, still ran towards that floor.

After climbing several flights of stairs, Chen Jiajun finally arrived at the floor where the dark figure that had been coughing was located.

The corridors here are even darker; even with a flashlight, you can only see less than a meter in front of you.

Further away, the flashlight beam seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness.

Feeling his way in the dark, Chen Jiajun finally arrived at the door of a room, tentatively knocked on the door, and then prepared to kick the door open violently.

Just as Chen Jiajun lifted his foot, the door to the room suddenly opened.

Then an old woman with a withered face appeared in front of Chen Jiajun.

"Excuse me..." Chen Jiajun saw that the other person was an elderly man and was about to ask.

But seeing the old woman's surprised expression, she immediately opened the door and said to Chen Jiajun, "Young man, don't stand at the door and talk, come in!"

Seeing that the other party was willing to talk, Chen Jiajun naturally agreed.

After entering the room, Chen Jiajun looked around at the decorations, which were indeed in the style of the 1980s.

For some reason, the room was very dark and had a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

After entering the room, the old woman kept staring at Chen Jiajun.

After a moment, he spoke up: "Young man, you are radiant and have an imposing aura. You must be rich and noble, right?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Does your mother-in-law know about face reading?"

"I know a little!" the old woman said, frowning. "But why are you here? That doesn't make sense!"

"Hmm?" Chen Jiajun asked curiously, "What did Mother-in-law notice?"

"You're not from this world, are you?" The old woman examined Chen Jiajun carefully and then said with certainty.

"Huh, you were actually able to tell?" Chen Jiajun was genuinely surprised this time.

The old woman nodded: "I can't predict your fate, that shouldn't be the case! And this isn't a place for the living!"

"What do you mean?" Chen Jiajun asked, frowning. "A place where living people shouldn't be?"

The old woman didn't say much, but simply shook her head and said, "I'll take you out later. Don't get involved in what's happening here!"

Although Chen Jiajun was quite ambitious, as the saying goes, "He who listens to advice will eat his fill," so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you. But... do you know how I should get back?" (End of Chapter)
