Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 357, Section 134: The Consequences of Being High-Profile
Chi Mengli was fully aware of her own physical condition.

Besides, when you give cold medicine as a gift, you give a whole box, not a whole bag.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the little gift the pastor gave me.

Chi Mengli was very curious about how the professor smuggled goods in Hong Kong. She never expected that this guy had actually connected the two sides and could smuggle goods openly.

It’s so high!

Chi Mengli tossed the packet of cold granules onto the table, took out a cigarette from the pipe, lit it, and ordered, "Go find a fellow Daoist who always cooks pork stew. I want to know what's in this."

"Oh, right! Go and call Xiren in. I have something to ask her."

With her legs propped up on the desk, Chi Mengli leaned back in her chair, leisurely puffing on a cigarette.

Spinach Dong quickly accepted the order and went out to find the person Sheng Ge needed to see.

Xi Ren, who was sitting down, was the first to come to Chi Mengli. When she saw the bagged cold granules on the table, her eyes showed disbelief.

"Judging from your eyes, beautiful lady, I can tell you've seen this before."

"Someone gave me a big gift tonight, which made me realize who's selling goods on my turf and not paying my stall rent."

"Miss Xiren, it seems you have many secrets in your heart!"

Chi Mengli removed her foot from the desk, flicked some ash into the ashtray, and said with a half-smile.

Life is full of surprises; as long as you have a keen eye, you can always find enjoyment.

“I have indeed seen it, but I don’t participate in Miss Bai’s business. Apart from Miss Bai, whether it’s sugar (shaking) or pork (ice), it all needs to be done in large quantities. Once the quantity increases, the cops will turn their attention to you.”

"According to a report released by the United Nations Anti-Drug Organization, even in Mexico and Colombia, the major cartels undergo a turnover every eight months, either through internal fighting or being eliminated by the police."

"The Caca Group in Mexico and the Medellín Group in Colombia are no exception."

"The once invincible Black Widow (the second chairwoman of the Medellín Group) is now like a rat hiding in the basement, afraid of seeing peanuts sent by the Americans."

"Using private jets to transport goods, smuggling drugs in corpses, and using light submarines to transport goods are all things that Black Widow has already done. At the peak of Black Widow's career, her private jets took off from Columbia and landed in New York in just over ten hours."

"Five hours later, the five New York Mafia families distributed tons of cocaine to major cities across the United States."

Xi Ren pulled up a chair, sat down, and crossed her legs. She continued, "The Narcotics Bureau takes down one bookmaker every three months, but there are still hundreds of bookmakers operating in Hong Kong, and the number of dead friends is increasing by tens of thousands."

"As long as you don't attract attention, the Narcotics Bureau can't handle it. Hong Kong is an island city, and it's very convenient to travel by sea or private plane, so they can't investigate it."

"But the professor is too confident and doesn't listen to the elders. It's not easy for Song Sheng to train a disciple. He has no choice but to make a painful sacrifice and use everyone's help to get rid of the professor."

"But then again, I admire the professor. He's been on the Narcotics Investigation Department's list of top offenders for ten months. If he stays on it for another two months, he'll be on par with the notorious drug kingpin Lin Manjiang."

"Of course, exceptions like Sister Rose are a different story. The Chen siblings, who started with a drug stall and have been a legendary family that has dominated the charts for fifteen years, are so impressive that even the narcotics officers have to give them a thumbs up!"

I've seen people with warped values! But I've never seen values ​​this warped!
Hey lady! This is drug trafficking, not selling candy!
For decades, he persisted in working on the front lines, creating tens of thousands of dead friends in Hong Kong!

That's amazing! Shouldn't the Narcotics Investigation Department give you an award?

Why not just add some arsenic and send all these dead fellow Daoists down to sell as salted duck eggs!
Thinking of this, Chi Mengli picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and splashed it directly onto Xiren's face.

"Hopefully this water will help you clear your head."

Chi Mengli threw the bottle into the trash can and continued, "I don't care if you're the professor's man or Song Sheng's man. If Song Sheng takes the professor's money, it means they're in cahoots. They're selling goods on my turf, so they have to pay me stall rent."

"You can treat me like a fool! But you have to have so much money that I'd be willing to be a fool."

"You should know my rules. After all, I'm the one paying your salary now. I don't care what kind of life-or-death relationship you have with Song Sheng or Professor Song, but my people can't touch the drug den."

"How's the accounting check going?"

Getting on the ship doesn't mean you're one of us; similarly, handing over a pledge of allegiance doesn't necessarily make you one of us.

Many sworn brothers who burned yellow paper and exchanged New Year's cards turned on each other and killed each other for a mere sum of money. But they also kept their promise and died on the same day, month, and year.

Only when interests align can we be on the same path.

“I went through all the accounts starting in March of this year. Boxing King Sheng didn’t just start doing odds betting this year; this business has been operating for at least three to five years.” “Water House only invested a year ago, becoming one of the bookmakers in the odds betting business.”

Taking a handkerchief from her fur shawl, Xiren wiped the water off her face. Because her makeup wasn't waterproof, she looked like a big, messy cat, but she still kept a cold expression and told everyone she had found out.

"I just had a little inspiration. Let's see if I'm right. My damned, bankrupt boss Robin, because his gang isn't making money, he's looking to cooperate with Immortal Brocade. Immortal Brocade doesn't want to get involved with the professor, so he introduced the professor to my boss."

"One was looking for female piglets, and the other was murdering and robbing, using the corpses to transport cocaine."

"But I don't understand, what does Boxing King have to do with this? Did the son-in-law borrow all the money through Central Financial Company? Or has Boxing King been helping the professor launder money all along?"

When inspiration strikes, it's unstoppable. In just a few words, Chi Mengli connected the whole story.

After hearing Chi Mengli's deduction, Xiren shook her head, threw the handkerchief in her hand onto the table, denied Chi Mengli's deduction, and corrected her: "I have never met Song Sheng, I have only received a phone call from him."

"Similarly, I've never met the professor, only the Nine-Tailed Fox, the actress who's addicted to cooking pork. I think Brother Sheng already knows the Nine-Tailed Fox's background."

"The FBI Academy in America once concluded that no matter it is the Mafia, the Triads, or the top criminals active in the underworld, they cannot be completely elusive."

“These leaders must be active in front of their subordinates to give these henchmen who are carrying out tasks on the front line a little confidence. If there are no channels of communication and ways of exchanging ideas, over time, the henchmen will become suspicious.”

"After all, there is no trust between criminals."

"This is also the main reason why I left Song Sheng's ship. I didn't know Song Sheng's background, I couldn't figure out Song Sheng's connections, and my fate was already destined. I became the lamb to the slaughter."

"Therefore, a professor can be anyone, not just the suspects who are out in the open."

“I also found out a little problem, Brother Sheng. Your woman has a big problem. She has been cooperating with Nine-Tailed Fox all along, as has Ninth Sister. None of these three people are trustworthy.”

"Let me tell you something that might interest you, Brother Sheng! The thunderous sounds at Hong Sheng Mahjong Hall and Rui Xing Mahjong Hall are likely related to Boxing King Sheng, and I can confirm that Boxing King Sheng and Song Sheng definitely have a communication channel, and Boxing King Sheng may even have met Song Sheng."

"If you want revenge, seize this opportunity."

Xi Ren was 100% certain and suggested that they could take action now.

Chi Mengli could swear on his own life that he had absolutely nothing to do with the matter of Quan Wangsheng and Tuodi, or Tuodi Xianglei's gang, because he was the one who did it.

However, Xi Ren's analysis was quite reasonable. Since the atmosphere had been set, let the boxing champion Sheng take the blame—no, let him take on this important task!
"I believe you because our interests are aligned on this matter."

"Whether it's the professor or Song Sheng, they are both too arrogant! Once a person becomes arrogant, they will lack the necessary element of objectivity."

“I’m not a greedy person. The number gang has always controlled the Hong Kong First Division business, but I think there are too many fixed matches in the Hong Kong First Division. The war is over, and foreign companies are starting to revitalize. These foreigners will invest the money they have.”

“The foreign firms have a limited amount of liquid capital. Once a good deal comes along, the big bosses of the foreign firms will withdraw all the money they have invested in sports.”

"The English First Division is the future, but it would be a shame if this future is just about profiting from the odds betting on correct scores!"

“Rediffusion Television has always wanted to bring English League One to the table, but it hasn’t been able to do so because it doesn’t have enough funds. However, I have come up with a way that satisfies both sides.”

"I just don't know if Miss Xiren is interested?"

Chi Mengli knew the story of returning a favor, and since Xiren had helped him logically resolve the issue with Boxing King Sheng and helped him find one of the true circumstances surrounding Robin's death, he naturally had to report it to her.

The 20th century was the last golden age of television and print media.

We must seize this opportunity and take the initiative to share in the foreigners' flesh and blood; if we are too late, we will not be able to eat anything.

By collaborating with RTV to establish a professional sports channel and broadcasting their own boxing matches, Hong Kong, a hub of martial arts, was able to finally shine.

"No! I don't like watching TV, especially not football."

"I like being a criminal, I like the feeling of being wanted, I like being a rat in the sewers, it's very exciting for me!"

Xi Ren resolutely refused, just as she said, she preferred being a criminal to a stable life.

Everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced.

Chi Mengli threw the bag of medicine in front of Xiren, urging her to find out the story behind the cold granules as soon as possible.

Xiren picked up the medicine bag in her hand, looked at it carefully, and memorized all the information on it.
