Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 358, Section 135: Better to Have No Information Than to Report It
(Thank you to the boy who loves reading historical novels for your continued support. Thank you so much, may you continue to rise to fame and be surrounded by luxury cars and beautiful models every day!)
In just one night, Greyhound Seven went from a potential traitor who was about to turn against the cops to a real traitor who had already cooperated with the cops.

For two consecutive days, Shuifang lost money to underground betting stations, resulting in a loss of more than four million.

Even the charismatic and capable Shenxian Jin couldn't sit still any longer. Boxing King Sheng hadn't even left his cell yet, but Handsome Sheng was still in charge of the overall situation at the club. So, with a phone call, he summoned this rising star who had successfully completed his patrol mission to Ruixing Mahjong Hall.

Chi Mengli, accompanied by Bo Cai Dong and A Cong, appeared in Shen Xian Jin's office and stood in front of Shen Xian Jin and Bai Gu Sheng, who were drinking tea.

"Old Ding, Uncle Sheng."

A smile is the most crucial step in Chi Mengli's recently summarized method of sincere greetings. One shouldn't hit a smiling face, and Shenxian Jin will give face as long as she doesn't want to completely fall out with someone.

Handsome Sheng had broken into the torture chamber, and Shen Xian Jin knew that Ah Cong was a high-end talent cultivated by Shui Fang at great expense. Everyone he interrogated had poured out all their secrets without exception.

Such a talented person, even if he, the one in charge, doesn't approve, Antenna wouldn't dare to release him.

"Ah Sheng, you've been doing really well lately! But no matter how loudly you're making your mark, people still need to know who you're working for!"

“Recently, the fees collected by your Yau Ma Tei branch have been less than 30% of what they used to be. If the branches below are like this, it will be really difficult for me to balance the accounts.”

"Ah Sheng, what goes around comes around. Don't think no one knows you've stolen anything."

Bai Gusheng will be out of school in less than two months. He will leave Hong Kong to take over a bank in the Cayman Islands, continue to contribute to the Shui Fang business, and represent Shui Fang in managing Shui Fang's business in Europe.

It's supposed to be business across Europe, but it's really just goods and money from a few old connections and long-time clients.

According to the old rules and unspoken rules of Hutchison and the Water House, if the head of the company is re-elected, the chief executive takes 70% of the fees for the last three months. If the head of the company is not re-elected, then everyone benefits from one company and two companies share the profits.

In the past, Bai Gusheng would have turned a blind eye, but not now. Liangzai Sheng is stealing his own money, and there has to be an explanation.

“Uncle Sheng, I’ve suffered heavy losses recently. Tuodi was attacked, and the Number Gang robbed Fort Street. These Tong Gang members fight like madmen. More than a dozen of my brothers ended up in the hospital, and seven or eight others were handcuffed by the cops.”

"Jimi and Hei Ahu are both young and hot-blooded. They went up against Da Laoyuan. Bazhi, for the sake of brotherhood, led a group to kill Da Laoyuan, but they were ambushed. One of their brothers was killed, and another was captured by Da Laoyuan. The remaining dozen or so brothers were all injured."

"The temple alone spent hundreds of thousands on resettlement and funeral expenses."

"I don't even dare to open my eyes now, because if I do, all I see are thugs asking me for money. Uncle Sheng, you know my father died young, and we don't own a jewelry store, so where would I get the money to fool people like this!"

Having anticipated that Bai Gusheng would talk about money, Chi Mengli had already devised a plan on the way here. She immediately started crying poor, with only one principle: no money, no life, no nonsense, and she simply refused to give him any money.

Yau Ma Tei has indeed been going through a lot lately. The pastor, the leader of the Tsz Wan Shan Thirteen Protectors, is currently enjoying great success. He directly seized a street from the well-equipped and powerful Young Sing and planted a flag there.

The number gang has many branches and cultivates a large number of "pupil party" members, so it is indeed not to be underestimated.

Moreover, the East Union Society's East East Nine has been stirring up trouble and engaging in many underhanded activities. Caught in the middle, it's indeed difficult for Handsome Winner to hold on.

Even so, it's not a reason for handsome guys to lose to fewer people.

Bai Gusheng snorted coldly and slapped Chi Mengli: "Asheng, I won't hold what happened two weeks ago against you. But if you continue like this for the next two months, don't blame me for being impolite."

You're welcome!
Your former leader, Bai Gu Sheng, couldn't even handle the leadership of the gang, and the remaining small fry couldn't hold on at all. If you don't have the strength, don't make big promises, because no one will listen to you no matter what you say.

“Uncle Sheng, my underground betting station in Yuen Long was raided by the cops. I lost at least two million. That bastard King Sheng can’t control his henchmen. Greyhound Seven, a red pole, is now stepping forward as a witness and a double agent.”

"If there's no explanation for this matter, let alone whether we can deliver the full amount next week, it's another matter whether our henchmen will even respect us."

"The parking lot operators are all pretending to comply, saying that business is bad and they want to adjust the profit-sharing ratio. Now everyone, big and small, is waiting for the two bosses to make a decision!"

"If the henchmen below rebel, it will be difficult for me, the leader of the gang, to handle things. After all, I can't personally lead the men to park cars for those rich guys!"

Chi Mengli directly shifted the pressure to Shenxian Jin, who was drinking tea. "Boxing King Sheng is your man. Now that your man is in trouble, as the boss, shouldn't you give everyone an explanation and a guarantee?"
Bai Gusheng had also heard the rumors in the martial arts world and knew that Hui Gou Qi, the younger brother of Quan Wangsheng, was going to betray him. But just like the unspoken subtext of Liangzai Sheng, Quan Wangsheng was Shen Xianjin's trusted younger brother.

According to the rules of the martial arts world, Greyhound Seven must address Immortal Jin as "Dear Old Master," and no one else can speak up on this matter without Immortal Jin's approval.

"Ah Sheng, why did you bring so many people here? Are you trying to show me off?"

Shenxian Jin, who had just put down her teacup, didn't respond at all. Instead, she took the initiative and, looking at Spinach Dong and Acong behind Chi Mengli, immediately lost her temper.

"Damn it! How did you two blockheads get in here? You idiots! You didn't even greet Ah Da?"

You have your clever plans, I have my countermeasures; you, the immortal brocade, refuse to take the bait, and Chi Mengli immediately pretends to be stupid.

"Ah Da, it's been a long time since I've seen you. I wanted to come in and say hello."

"Brother Sheng, Uncle Sheng, you two chat, we'll go out first!"

Spinach Dong immediately said that he was doing his filial duty, and after coming in to say hello, he immediately pulled the calm and stoic Master Brother Acong out of the office.

"Brother Jin, I've arranged to have someone check the accounts. You guys talk."

With only two months left in his term, Bai Gusheng really didn't want to get involved in these messy affairs. He simply said he had something to do, got up, and left Shenxian Jin's office, giving the old bastard and the young bastard some space.

"sit down!"

Shenxian Jin pointed to the seat in front of her and gestured for Chi Mengli to sit down.

Chi Mengli didn't hesitate either. He plopped down in a chair, leaned back, and wanted to see what cards Shenxian Jin would play.

“Ah Sheng is unreliable, and you, handsome Sheng, are also full of wicked schemes. I heard that Spinach Dong sought justice from Zombie Bao, and then overnight, the rumor spread that Greyhound Seven was going to become a double agent, cooperate with the police, and become a tainted witness.”

"These are your hands and feet?"

First, she poured Chi Mengli a cup of black tea, and then Shenxian Jin exposed all of Chi Mengli's secrets.

The old fox is still the wisest. This kind of trickery is so obvious that you don't even need evidence. Just by comparing the details and thinking it over, you can tell who is behind it.

But this is something you can do but not admit to. Once you admit it, you'll give Shenxianjin a handle to use against you.

After all, we're only in a temporary working relationship; we're not close enough to conspire to cheat each other.

Chi Mengli shook her head decisively and quickly protested her innocence: "Old Ding, you're wronging me. My underground betting station was raided. I didn't dare to set up my place in Yau Ma Tei because I was afraid the cops would be watching me."

“But Greyhound 7’s betting buddy, Big, went to an underground betting station in Yuen Long. I heard that Big has chosen to cooperate with the cops and become a witness for the prosecution. Since Boxing King is not here, of course I have to find someone in Central who can speak up and ask him.”

"However, Lao Ding, you said you would entrust me with the management of the odds betting business from now on. In accordance with the rules of the underworld, I also left the big boat and the small boat for Boxing King Sheng. Logically speaking, the big boat and the small boat in Central should go through my Yau Ma Tei branch's betting station."

"But now, the boxing champion Sheng is treating Lao Ding's words like a fart, secretly running an underground betting station to make money for himself. He's not leaving any way for his brothers to survive!"

"And I've also heard that the boxing champion has more than just this one betting station under his control; he's planning to start his own business!"

Chi Mengli reached into her pocket, pulled out a small, red-covered ledger, placed it on the coffee table, then picked up her teacup and continued drinking tea.

Having gained both the man and the account, Boxing King Sheng has broken the rules of the martial arts world this time. If Shenxian Jin can still tolerate Boxing King Sheng now, then he has nothing more to say.

What is this?

"Ledger?"

Shenxian Jin still didn't respond, but instead deliberately steered the conversation towards the account book.

"That bastard Ninth Sister gave me an account book before she left." "I just don't like looking at accounts, but coincidentally, Boxing King Sheng gave me a math genius who is both smart and capable, and pointed out a problem for me."

"Of course, whether this is a problem or not, it all depends on Lao Ding's opinion."

Ninth Sister is a good shield, after all, this loser also used the account book to threaten Boxing King Sheng, so even if Shenxian Jin knew about it, she would believe it.

Besides being able to read accounts, Xiren could also imitate other people's handwriting. On a bill from twenty days ago, she added an extra entry, transferring 100,000 yuan to the sorcerer.

The demon is still in the ice room of the water room, but Chi Mengli is not worried at all, because there are only two possible outcomes to this matter: the demon will not be able to withstand the pressure and will confess that he did indeed receive a sum of money, namely 300,000.

The second outcome was that the sorcerer endured it, gritted his teeth and said he hadn't received the 300,000, and was tortured to death by Ah Cong's junior brother.

Under the powerful memory recovery technique, it's normal for someone to be unable to withstand the pressure and be forced to confess under duress. If they stubbornly refuse to admit it, it means that the incident actually happened.

Moreover, the deposit that Chi Mengli gave to the demon was indeed 300,000, but the demon just didn't know who gave it to him.

The filthy rat is similar to the sparrow. After all, cables don't ask where they come from, manhole covers don't ask where they come from, and assassin intermediaries don't even ask who needs the people. This can reduce 90% of the trouble.

Shenxian Jin's experience in the martial arts world told him not to touch the account book on the coffee table. If he did, the initiative would be handed over to this little rascal. He continued to drink his tea and asked calmly, "I recently got conjunctivitis and don't want to read."

"Sheng, since you brought the ledger, tell me what dirty tricks King Sheng has been up to behind our backs!"

“I don’t understand! I can’t read it! My accountant told me there was a problem and asked me to take a look, but I can’t read many words, so of course I can’t understand it.”

"Like I said, if Lao Ding says there's no problem, then there's no problem."

"However, the underground betting station was shut down because the henchman of the boxing champion was exposed. The station will have to bear a loss of at least two million. I, Handsome Sheng, cannot bear this hole. If there is no explanation, I will have to use my own capital to fill this hole."

"But this time, more than a dozen betting ringleaders were arrested in the gang. They all work for the gang and need at least 400,000 in settlement fees. These bastards won't talk nonsense."

"I can only raise the interest rate on this amount. The fees in the future will likely be even lower. When Uncle Sheng asks about it, you'll have to be my witness."

The crime of framing his fellow disciples and purging the sect is one that Chi Mengli cannot bear. Once he bears this crime, he will never be able to clear his name for the rest of his life, and any powerful figures in the martial arts world who want to cooperate with him will become suspicious.

Having finished speaking, he picked up his teacup, sipped his tea, and remained silent.

Now the ball is in Shenxianjin's court. Whether this old guy accepts it or not is up to him. Anyway, after leaving Tuodi, Chi Mengli will continue to spread rumors that Shenxianjin doesn't distinguish between public and private matters, and that his former henchmen have all become traitors, yet he just sits by and does nothing.

What he needs to do now is stir things up, to thoroughly muddy the waters and get even the old turtles lying at the bottom moving.

Those turtle bastards are invincible when they're motionless and tucked into their shells, but once they start moving, their weaknesses will appear, and I can catch them stretching their necks and cut them in two.

Whether it's Song Sheng or the professor, they both need to make money. A criminal organization needs a huge amount of money every day to operate normally.

In Hong Kong today, a monthly salary of one thousand dollars can only hire a typist, not a ruthless professional criminal willing to kill people with a knife.

Why risk your life for a few thousand dollars a month?
"You did a good job this time, you were very quick and efficient, but I'm just reminding you, you've only completed half of your task."

"After completing the mission, you will become a true patrolman and can establish your own silver furnace in Hong Kong. You can choose one of your own people to be the silver servant of the silver furnace."

“Old connections in Hong Kong will also choose to meet with you and place their new treasures in your hands.”

"Alright! Don't make any rash moves now. I know that Quan Wangsheng has broken a taboo, but I can only hold court and make a judgment after this matter is completely over. Until I finish talking with Qi Wei, the blame can only fall on Ninth Sister."

From beginning to end, Shen Xianjin did not touch the ledger on the table. Chi Mengli admired Shen Xianjin's self-control. This guy really has a knack for it. He's really good.

Since she still had to wait, Chi Mengli had no reason to stay any longer, so she took her leave.

As Shenxian Jin sipped her tea, she watched Liangzai Sheng's disappearing figure and sighed inwardly.

The ledger on the table is the death warrant for Boxing King Sheng. Once he looks at it, there is only one outcome for Boxing King Sheng: he will lose his life.

Lock him up first. After I've dealt with Qi Weiwen and made the Crown Prince and Deng Qi spit out a large chunk of flesh, I'll deal with Boxing King Sheng.

However, Shen Xianjin knew in his heart that this matter could no longer be suppressed. The timing of Liangzai's victory was very clever. The first vote was about to begin, and there were too many people in the Yau Ma Tei branch who were qualified to vote, and these people were clearly supporting Andy Lau.

Although he had agreed with Wah Jai Wing that he would be the boss and Wah Jai Wing would be the nobody.

But if Andy Lau has even the slightest chance of winning, he might break the verbal agreement and stand up to fight for it.

If he doesn't handle the promotion of the boxing champion properly, no one, from his uncles to the leaders of various gangs, will support him.

Shenxian Jin knew Quan Wangsheng well, and knew that this loser had a bad habit of keeping accounts. Now, he's in trouble; he's carelessly given someone a handle against him.

Flop!

Chi Mengli walked out of Ruixing Sparrow Pavilion. He put a cigarette in his mouth. On the way here, he had thought a lot and calculated all of Shenxian Jin's backup plans, but he hadn't expected this old man to use a Tai Chi-style massage technique to deflect a thousand pounds with four ounces, making him prioritize the overall situation.

However, the news has already been released, and Qi Weiwen will definitely seize this last opportunity to use the boxing champion as a bargaining chip to continue negotiating.

But this matter was no longer his concern; he only needed to continue standing on the shore, watching the mantis shrimp fight the old turtle in the shallows.

The first half of the game, when I was just a piece, was so frustrating. Now that I've transformed into a player, it feels amazing!

Chi Mengli threw the cigarette butt into the trash can, turned around and got into the car. She told Xizai, who was driving, to go to the Pink Detective Agency, to meet Mr. Xiao Shandong, a professional private detective, saying that she had made a major discovery.

They arrived safely at the Pink Floyd Detective Agency building without exchanging a word.

The receptionist at Pinker Detective Agency was the same beautiful married woman. Chi Mengli greeted her warmly, and the receptionist, with her usual professional fake smile, led Chi Mengli into the meeting room, while Spinach Dong and Acong were left outside.

Xiao Shandong had been waiting in the reception room for a long time. He reached out and took off his sunglasses, closed the documents in his hand, stood up, and greeted him warmly: "Welcome, Mr. Chi. No, I should call you Mr. Patrolman Ma."

Chi Mengli didn't shake Xiao Shandong's hand, but sat down on the sofa directly. He was a little curious about how Xiao Shandong knew about his becoming a patrol horse, which should also be a secret in the water room, even though the Pink Floyd Detective Agency existed to gather information.

"I don't know what you're talking about. The patrol horses are almost all dead now. If you want to mail a letter, go to the post office. If you want to transfer money, go to the bank. Ask the patrol horse to handle these two things. It's a bit too late!"

“If you’re joking with me, Mr. Shandong, I need to consider the refund option.”

Chi Mengli is now a typical scumbag. He doesn't admit it, doesn't take responsibility, and tries to shift the blame onto others, essentially burying his head in the sand.

"Haha! Just kidding. Hong Kong hasn't had a city patrol horse for almost ten years. Many people's toys have to be shipped to Singapore."

"Sea freight carries risks, and transportation requires caution."

"I've recently made a small discovery, so I'd like to ask you, Mr. Chi, to come and take a look."

"Please look!"

Xiao Shandong placed a photo in front of Chi Mengli, asking the young customer to take a good look at it.

Reaching out to pick up the photo, Chi Mengli almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

What a coincidence! He had just seen the guy in the photo recently!
