Hong Kong General: I am the leader of Hongxing, I just want to make money

Chapter 36: Crow brings Fatty Li to the door to plead guilty, ICAC announces investigation into Qin Fan
Yuen Long.

In the Crow's bar.

Colorful neon lights flicker on the walls, casting ever-changing light and shadows, as if telling unknown stories.

Chandeliers of various shapes are hung on the ceiling, some emitting soft warm light, while others sparkle with bright light, embellishing this charming place like stars in the night sky.

Fatty Li sat there leisurely, looking a little careless. He tapped his feet twice nonchalantly, looking extremely slovenly.

Turning his head, he saw Crow looking at him unkindly. There seemed to be a burning anger in his eyes, which made people shudder. Fatty Li shrank back in fear, a trace of fear appeared on his face, and his voice trembled a little: "Crow, what do you want to do?"

"I want to do business with Qin Fan." Crow opened his mouth, revealing his neat white teeth. His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he had seen a bright future after making money with Qin Fan.

"You Dongxing have invaded the property left by Hongxing, why would he take you with him? Do you want to use me as a token of your loyalty?" Fatty Li's face changed drastically, he stood up in a hurry and was about to run. However, before he could run a few steps, he was kicked to the ground by Crow.

"Tie him up and hand him over to Qin Fan for punishment later." Crow's heart was filled with anger. He believed that if it were not for Fatty Li's instigation, he and Dongxing would not have invaded the industries left by Hongxing and would not have fallen into such a predicament now.

……

On Bolan Street, Thirteenth Sister's Hotel was bustling with activity. There was laughter and joy here, and people were enjoying this moment of relaxation. Qin Fan and others were having fun, chatting, drinking, or playing games, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Suddenly, the voices of the younger brothers were heard: "What are you doing?"

"Do you know that this is Hongxing's territory?"

Qin Fan and others stopped playing.

A younger brother came in and reported, "Brother Kun, Master Fan, the crows from East Star are here, and they are holding Fatty Li hostage."

Liang Kun glanced at Qin Fan and said to his younger brother: "Let Crow in."

In a moment, Wu Ya came in with Fatty Li. Wu Ya kicked him to the ground and said loudly, "We in Dongxing had no intention of invading the gray market left by Hongxing. It was all instigated by this fat guy."

Fatty Li's face was filled with despair, and his eyes were filled with helplessness and fear. He kowtowed to Liang Kun and begged, "Brother Kun, please let me go."

Liang Kun, however, had an indifferent expression on his face, and said calmly: "Ask Afan if he will forgive you."

Fatty Li quickly turned around, kowtowed to Qin Fan and said, "Brother Fan, no, Master Fan, please let me go."

Qin Fan was stunned and said, "What are you talking about? I am a serious person."

"Uh"

Fatty Li was stunned.

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking: Big brother, this is not the outside world, no one would believe what you say.

"I understand." Crow suddenly had a flash of understanding in his eyes, and the next moment, he stepped on Fatty Li's neck. Soon, Fatty Li was motionless. Crow looked at Qin Fan, licked his face and said, "Brother Fan, can you take me to play with you?"

"Okay." Qin Fan agreed. He knew that this was an excellent opportunity to control Dongxing.

"Thank you, Brother Fan." Crow grinned, thinking he had gotten a great deal. Little did he know that it would not be long before the entire East Star would be swallowed up by Qin Fan.

……

In the following week, the funds under Qin Fan's control increased to tens of millions. Even though Qin Fan was worried about playing too big and getting into trouble, he was very restrained, but he still created a big storm.

……

The cafe below the ICAC has an elegant, quiet and comfortable environment.

Chief Investigator Lu Zhilian, who was sitting by the window, put sugar cubes into the coffee with slow and graceful movements, as if he was performing an art performance.

"I didn't expect that your police station would ask our Independent Commission Against Corruption for help?" Lu Zhilian's voice was low and magnetic, and there was a hint of strangeness on his face.

Li Wenbin, who was sitting opposite him, smiled bitterly. The police force and the ICAC have always been at odds with each other, so he could be said to have violated a taboo. If the police knew about it, they would definitely make things difficult for him.

"Old classmate, I have no choice. Qin Fan is rich and shameless. He likes to build relationships. Mr. Fok of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, the chairman of the Jockey Club, Chief Superintendent Zeng Xiangrong of the West Kowloon Police Headquarters, and my father can all speak to him. I can't do anything to him."

Hearing this, Lu Zhilian raised his head, his eyes became sharp: "In fact, even if you didn't come to me, I would also be prepared to investigate him."

Li Wenbin was delighted when he heard this: "Then let's join forces."

"What help can you provide me? I heard that in the previous operation against Qin Fan in Mong Kok, not only did you not hurt Qin Fan at all, but you also made yourself very embarrassed." Lu Zhilian's tone was full of ridicule and sarcasm.

Li Wenbin showed an embarrassed expression. He cursed in his heart, "Fuck you! You hit someone in the face but not in the face. You have no manners at all."

Lu Zhilian said, "We, the ICAC, will handle this case alone." Then, he stood up and left. In fact, Lu Zhilian did not deliberately make things difficult for Li Wenbin. Rather, the ICAC and the police force had always been at odds.

Lu Zhilian did not notice that someone in the distance was taking pictures of his meeting with Li Wenbin with a high-definition camera.

On the same day, Lu Zhilian held a press conference and announced that he would investigate whether Qin Fan had laundered money. A single stone caused a thousand waves. Qin Fan made so much money that many people envied him, and many people were jealous of him.

"I told you, this guy must be a money launderer."

"I heard that this Qin Fan is from Hongxing. How can there be good people in Hongxing?"

Qin Fan's core base, the residents of Mong Kok, unanimously support Qin Fan.

"Nonsense, how could Afan do something illegal?"

"ICAC dares to come to Mong Kok and try."

……

In Qin Fan’s villa.

There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air.

Today, Qin Fan and Luo Zuer drank a lot of wine.

On the bed, Luo Zuer, who looked drunk, turned around and said, "Everyone hides their money when they make it, why do you want the whole world to know about it? Don't you know that this makes people hate you?"

"With fame, many things will become easier to do." Qin Fan's tone was firm and confident, and his eyes revealed wisdom.

Luo Zuer thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense."

At this time, the phone rang. Qin Fan answered it and heard Liang Kun's hoarse voice: "Afan, someone took a photo of Lu Zhilian and Li Wenbin meeting and sold it to me."

"If there's such a thing, wait for me." Qin Fan hung up the phone, walked away, quickly put on his shoes, and left home.

After a while, Luo Zuer felt the fullness was replaced by emptiness, and a confused expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Where is my husband?
