Hong Kong Film: Short mules have no future, I am in charge of Hong Kong

Chapter 310 Who leaked our smuggling line? !
"The one with the surname Su!" Young Master Jin gritted his teeth and said the name, his eyes full of anger, "I will definitely get back tenfold this time!"

Hong Kong Island is still a sleepless city at night, with busy streets and neon lights making the wet ground look bizarre. A truck from the Baishuishan Mine had just left the mine tunnel and was heading towards the port through the winding mountain road. The driver seemed a little nervous and kept observing the situation behind through the rearview mirror.

Su Hanze sat in the passenger seat, holding a map in his hand, frowning slightly. He put down the map, opened the car window, lit a cigarette, and let the cold wind pour into the car. He knew that this journey was destined to be troubled.

"Boss, I heard that Young Master Jin has hired some people to monitor our cargo route." The driver reminded quietly, "Will there be an ambush on this road?"

"Having an ambush is a good thing." Su Hanze took a deep puff of cigarette and said calmly, "The place where they ambush just shows where their weakness is."

The driver swallowed, dared not say anything more, and just concentrated on driving.

At the same time, at the Dongwan gambling stone field on the other side of Hong Kong Island, Jin Shao was pacing back and forth in his office on the second floor, with several documents and account books on the table in front of him. His face was frighteningly gloomy, and the report from his subordinates just now made him feel a sense of crisis.

"Master, the market has been getting more and more unfavorable recently. Several big customers have said that our stones are not clean, and two of them have directly terminated cooperation." Zhang Hai stood aside, his voice trembling, "If we don't find a solution, the reputation of this gambling stone field may really be lost."

"Can't protect it?" Young Master Jin turned his head sharply and glared at Zhang Hai, "Are you trying to tell me that we are doomed to fail this time?"

“No, no, no!” Zhang Hai waved his hands quickly, cold sweat already appearing on his forehead. “Master, I mean, we have to find a way to fight back and turn the situation around!”

Young Master Jin sneered, sat back in his chair, and lit a cigar. "Turning the situation around? That old fox Su Hanze thought he could bring me down with a few rumors? He's too naive."

"Master, what do you mean?" Zhang Hai asked tentatively.

"Doesn't he like to steal the limelight? Then we'll let him steal it until he loses his life." Young Master Jin exhaled a puff of smoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "Start with his goods. Since his goods can bypass us and go by water, then we'll go directly to his customers and leave him no place to deliver the goods."

Zhang Hai's eyes lit up: "Master, this is a great move!"

A few days later, the trucks from the Baishuishan Mine successfully arrived at Xiwan Wharf and loaded the goods onto a cargo ship that had been prepared long ago. Su Hanze stood at the dock, watching the cargo ship slowly sail away, with a hint of calmness in his eyes.

"Boss, the goods are safely shipped this time." Ah Liu stood beside him and breathed a sigh of relief. "But, I heard that Master Jin has started to target our customers recently. Several of our customers have been visited by his men."

"Keep an eye on the client?" Su Hanze smiled slightly. "He is quite good at finding ways. However, his methods are too impatient, and the client is not stupid."

"But what if a customer is really scared by him?" Liu was still a little worried.

"Then let them be scared." Su Hanze said calmly, "Business is like this, when someone leaves, someone else will come. If he wants to play big, then we will play big with him."

Ah Liu wanted to ask something else, but Su Hanze had already turned and walked towards the car parked nearby. He knew that the game had entered a new stage, and every step from now on had to be taken more carefully.

An atmosphere of uneasiness is spreading in the jade market in Hong Kong Island.

The "Imperial Green" incident at the Dongwan gambling stone field caused a sensation, and more and more experts began to question Jin Shao's supply. At the same time, the Baishuishan mine quietly became a new focus, and many jade merchants began to contact Su Hanze, hoping to get a more stable supply from him.

Jin Shao obviously noticed this. He sat in his office, listening to Zhang Hai's report with a gloomy face, and suddenly sneered: "These idiots, do they really think Su Hanze can give them good things? I want to let them know that following him will only make them die faster."

"Young Master, what are you going to do?" Zhang Hai asked.

"It's very simple." Jin Shao's eyes were filled with cruelty. "Find a few people to pretend to buy his goods, and then spread the news in the market that his goods are all fake. Let everyone in the market know that Su Hanze is just a liar."

"That's a great idea!" Zhang Hai immediately gave a thumbs up. "Then how do we arrange our people?"

"Find some new faces, and don't let people see that they are related to us." Jin Shao said slowly, "At the same time, have someone continue to put pressure on his clients and see how long they can hold out."

However, when Young Master Jin was secretly making plans, Su Hanze had already noticed something unusual.

"Boss, someone is pretending to be a customer and wants to buy our goods." Ah Liu walked into the office with a report, a trace of uneasiness on his face. "They asked very detailed questions and even specifically inquired about the details of our source of goods. I think something is wrong."

"Sent by Young Master Jin?" Su Hanze raised his head and asked directly.

"Most likely." Ah Liu nodded. "Their actors acted too deliberately. It's obvious that there's something wrong with them."

"Since he wants to play, then we'll play with him." Su Hanze picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke. "Let them get the goods, but I'll take care of the things inside."

Ah Liu was stunned for a moment: "Boss, what you mean is..."

"Don't worry, they are all 'good stuff'." Su Hanze smiled meaningfully, "They want to find fault, don't they? Then let them find as much as they want."

A few days later, a piece of news suddenly broke out in the jade market in Hong Kong Island: several customers found strange components in the jade raw stones they obtained from the Baishuishan Mine, and suspected that artificial materials were mixed in!

This piece of news instantly caused an uproar. People in the market began to talk about it, and many people even ran to the Baishuishan Mine to ask for an explanation.

"Boss, something has happened! People in the market are saying that there is something wrong with our goods!" Ah Liu rushed into the office, his face full of anxiety, "Several customers have suspended cooperation with us!"

"Let's pause." Su Hanze sat on the chair, without a trace of panic on his face. "This incident was caused by Young Master Jin's people. Doesn't he just want to force us to admit defeat?"

"Then what should we do?" Ah Liu stamped his feet anxiously.

"Don't be impatient." Su Hanze stood up and picked up the car keys on the table. "Since he wants to play this trick, I will let him know what it means to shoot himself in the foot."

A few hours later, in a jade store in Hong Kong Island, several buyers who claimed to be experts were commenting on a piece of jadeite rough stone. "Look at the quality, it's just waste." One of them shook his head, his tone full of disappointment, "The reputation of the Baishuishan mine ends here."

However, just as they were about to spread more negative news, Su Hanze suddenly pushed the door open. He walked up to the group and threw a test report on the table, saying in a cold tone, "This is the test result of this batch of goods. They are all genuine. If you say there is a problem, then show us the evidence."

Several people were stunned and panicked. They didn't expect Su Hanze to show up in person, and bring such a key document.

"If you can't produce evidence, then that's deliberate slander." Su Hanze said coldly, "I don't care who sent you. I will get to the bottom of this matter."

The wind direction of the Hong Kong Island jade market changed again. The people sent by Jin Shao were soon exposed, and even several insiders pointed the finger at the Dongwan gambling stone field. This made Jin Shao's situation even more embarrassing. He sat in the office, his face livid and furious.

"Master, this matter... seems to be a little out of control." Zhang Hai said cautiously, "People in the market are guessing that we are behind it."

"Shut up!" Young Master Jin slammed the table, "Go check! Who is causing trouble?"

Zhang Hai nodded and left quickly, while Jin Shao sat on the chair with a terribly gloomy look. He knew that this game was far from over, and every step forward had to be more cautious.

The streets of Hong Kong Island were brightly lit at night, neon signs were flashing a hazy light, and a truck from the Baishuishan Mine was slowly leaving the port. The cargo full of jadeite raw stones had been loaded onto the ship, and the driver wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped on the accelerator and left the dock.

At the same time, Jin Shao was sitting in the office of the Dongwan gambling stone field, holding a glass of freshly mixed whiskey in his hand. He looked out the window at the endless stream of guests in the casino, with a sneer on his face. Zhang Hai stood behind him, reporting the latest situation in a low voice.

"Master, the batch of goods has indeed been shipped out. The people from Baishui Mountain have been acting more and more cautiously recently, but our spies are still keeping an eye on them. I heard that their goal is to send the goods to the Southeast Asian market." There was a hint of pride in Zhang Hai's tone.

"Southeast Asia?" Young Master Jin put down his glass and asked meaningfully, "Does Su Hanze want to expand the market, or does he have nowhere to sell his products?"

"It should be both." Zhang Hai nodded. "However, our people have already set up a plan. As long as their goods reach the other side, the local people will cooperate and have their goods detained by customs."

Young Master Jin smiled with satisfaction and lit a cigar. "Good, very good. This time, I will make sure that Su Hanze will never be able to recover."

Meanwhile, Su Hanze was not idle. He stood beside a truck, personally checking the packed goods. His expression was more stern than before. Ah Liu, standing by, could not help but ask, "Boss, are we really going to ship the goods to Southeast Asia this time? If something goes wrong, we will suffer a great loss."

"It will be interesting only if something goes wrong." Su Hanze raised his head with a sneer on his face. "Young Master Jin's men are watching us so closely, aren't they just trying to make us make mistakes? Then let him think he has won."

"You mean, there are other arrangements in this shipment?" Ah Liu's eyes lit up.

Su Hanze nodded: "This batch of goods is real, but it also comes with some 'surprises'. Let Jin Shao's people think they have caught him, but in fact, they will get into bigger trouble."

Ah Liu almost clapped his hands in laughter: "That's great, Boss! Young Master Jin will definitely be so angry this time!"

"Don't be too happy too soon." Su Hanze's tone was alert. "Although Young Master Jin is stupid, the people around him are not stupid. They will definitely be on guard. The real trouble is probably yet to come."

A few days later, Baishuishan's goods arrived successfully at a small port in Southeast Asia. But soon, local customs officials found some "abnormal items" in the goods. These items not only had nothing to do with jade, but also violated local laws.

"What's going on?" A local buyer asked Su Hanze's contact with a grim expression, "Are you trying to kill us?"

"The goods are fine." Su Hanze's contact remained calm. "We didn't install these things. Someone deliberately framed us."

"Framed? Then what should we do? Do you know that this will get us into jail?" the buyer shouted angrily.

"Don't worry, we have the situation under control." The contact handed over a document and said calmly, "You just need to follow this document, and all the responsibilities will not fall on you."

The buyer took the document and was stunned. He didn't expect that Su Hanze not only anticipated that someone would mess up, but also prepared a countermeasure.

The document clearly lists some special terms, even including how to shift the blame to other competitors.

At this time, Jin Shao learned the news that the goods had been seized in the office of the Dongwan Gambling Stone Field, and he was in a very good mood.

He picked up a glass of champagne and said to Zhang Hai with a smug look on his face, "Su Hanze is doomed this time. If anything happens to his goods, the entire Southeast Asian market will close its doors to him."

"Yes, Master. I heard that the buyers are furious. They will definitely point the finger at Su Hanze." Zhang Hai smiled like a flower. "Next, he will not only have to pay money, but also his reputation."

"Reputation?" Young Master Jin sneered, "Does he still have any credibility? People like him deserve to be out of the market as soon as possible."

But not long after, things took a turn. A report on the source of the goods suddenly circulated in the market, and the report clearly pointed out that these "abnormal items" were actually swapped from a smuggling line in the Dongwan gambling stone field!

As soon as the news came out, the entire market was in an uproar. Many people began to suspect that Jin Shao was the real mastermind behind the conspiracy, and Su Hanze was just forced to be involved in the conspiracy.

"How could this happen!" Young Master Jin angrily swept all the documents on the table to the ground, his face livid with anger, "Who is behind this?"

Zhang Hai was also panicking: "Master, I have checked. The news in the market was most likely released by Su Hanze. He had long anticipated that we would take action, so he laid a trap in advance."

"A trap? When did he, a mine owner, become so sinister!" Young Master Jin slammed the table fiercely. "We must get to the bottom of this matter! Also, who leaked our smuggling route?!"

Zhang Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said carefully: "Master, it might be the people from Xiwan who did it. They have been keeping an eye on us recently. I heard that Su Hanze had several contacts with them."
