Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 383, page 160: You have nowhere to run!

"Whether you know it or not doesn't matter!"

"The important thing is that Robin is dead. It was Song Sheng who orchestrated this! Perhaps this was all a setup from the beginning, and those who are deeply involved will be condemned to the deepest hell for countless eons, with no hope of escape!"

Shenxian Jin turned a jade bead in her hand, turning it little by little.

This string of jade beads is strange. The quality is very good, but Chi Mengli only glanced at it and felt a physiological aversion. She didn't want to look at it a second time.

The brain tells itself that this string of jade beads is dangerous and could even send it to hell.

Humans have an incredibly accurate sixth sense. Relying on this sixth sense, Chi Mengli made many seemingly absurd but actually reasonable decisions.

“Ah Sheng, everyone has secrets, but as long as these secrets don’t harm everyone’s interests, everyone will turn a blind eye.”

"You should be able to contact Miss Jiu and tell this bastard that everything has been settled and she'll get the rest of the money!"

Shenxian Jin has finished talking with Qi Weiwen, and the scapegoat has automatically emerged. The excellent traditions of the water room have already made people fearful, but the signboard cannot be lost. As long as the matter of Tuodi Xiang Lei has nothing to do with Ninth Sister, the business must continue.

Shuifang was able to maintain its rice washing business in Hong Kong thanks to its golden reputation built on business integrity.

Chi Mengli forced herself to look away, trying hard not to look at the 108 jade prayer beads in Shenxian Jin's hand, and nodded to indicate that she would let others know.

"Brother Sheng, arrange for all the brothers from the South Road who made contact with Boxing King Sheng to leave."

"Jianzi, tonight we'll take care of that bastard Wang Sheng, his mistress and daughter in the Zu family. Send them down to sell salted duck eggs, and do it properly."

“Ah Sheng, Uncle Gui asked me to tell you that the Haojiang side will select a new representative. The buyer hasn’t settled the final payment yet. Once the final payment arrives, you can deliver the goods.”

"Set up a warehouse as soon as possible. Starting today, until December next year, you only need to send 50,000 in fees each month. One year is enough time for you to build a reliable warehouse."

Shenxian Jin yawned, placed the jade prayer beads in her hand on the table, and slid them across, stopping them right in front of Chi Mengli.

"Congratulations in advance! This string of prayer beads is of good quality. I found it on a small hill in Nam Shui Wai. Silly girl, going hiking in high heels and wearing a jade necklace, you're bound to die!"

Shenxian Jin muttered something, then stood up and left the meeting room.

Ma Wangjian sighed. That old bastard Shenxian Jin had managed to show off again. But Liangzai Sheng was indeed a master. He outmaneuvered Bamianfo and Yaqi, and tricked Yazhaku as well.

When dealing with such experts in the future, we need to be constantly on guard!

Lan Lai didn't say a word, just smiled at Chi Mengli, and then turned and left.

Jin Suanpan then took out a painting box and placed it on the table: "Young man, give this painting to Ninth Sister and send it to Zhongsong Company. She doesn't need to do anything else. There will be an auction every day for the next fifteen days."

"The specifics will be arranged by the people at Zhongsong Company."

Since the owner has already agreed and requested that the transaction proceed, Jin Suanpan, the manager of the silver furnace, has no need to bring up the disgusting rules.

Uncle Gui is a thing of the past. Once Shenxian Jin obtains the Imperial Seal, he will officially become the owner, and the Water Room will enter the era of Shenxian Jin. The Water Room's headmaster can be the headmaster for consecutive terms. Wen Gui has served three terms, and it is unknown how many times Shenxian Jin will be the headmaster for consecutive terms!
Chi Mengli touched the jade prayer beads, pondering Shen Xianjin's words, and finally realized that she wasn't the only onlooker in Nan Shui Wai at the time.

Do was indeed wearing high heels at the time, but she definitely wasn't wearing a jade necklace. However, this string of jade prayer beads is definitely Do's jewelry. Shenxianjin is giving herself a wake-up call!
It has to be said that Shenxian Jin played a really clever move. I was indeed intimidated and it seems I have no choice but to obey!

Being a good boy gets you treats! It's not a bad deal!
Judging from what Shenxianjin said, the Oak International Terminal is the target that Song Sheng has his eye on. Just for that reason alone, I have to go and stir things up.

Chi Mengli picked up the jade prayer beads, shook them a few times, and seeing that Lazy Bing was still standing in the corridor, she threw the jade prayer beads to the good-for-nothing: "I didn't receive a single word about your wedding."

"Consider this a red envelope for you. It's a top-tier item, definitely not an ordinary one. It's guaranteed to sell for hundreds of thousands!"

Lazy Bing picked up the jade prayer beads, examined them for a few moments, and realized that they were indeed the ones Lao Ding had been wearing on his wrist these past few days. Without any hesitation, he put them in his pocket and jokingly said, "You good-for-nothing, you only just remembered me now."

"My eldest daughter is about to start kindergarten, and the wedding envelopes have only just arrived. What a mess!"

"Alright! I'll forgive you for the sake of the jade prayer beads. We're all brothers."

"Damn it! You stinky thing, you're getting the benefit and then acting innocent!"

Chi Mengli gave Lazy Ice a friendly gesture, then took the elevator and left. He was exhausted after a long day and wanted to get back to the Sheraton Hotel to sleep.

"Ah Sheng, I'll have winter melon soup and some top-quality beef. Let's have hot pot together!"

"Anyway, you don't have anything important to do when you go back."

Lazy Bing, seeing the elevator doors were about to close, quickly pried them open and invited the yawning Chi Mengli to have hot pot together. It was still early, and having only eaten a sandwich, Chi Mengli wasn't full. Hearing about the excellent beef, she didn't refuse and stepped out of the elevator, ready to have hot pot with Lazy Bing.

Crab stood in the observation room, watching Boxing Champion Sheng in the interrogation room, smoking a cigarette expressionlessly.

On his brand-new ID badge, Crab's blue background photo was clearly printed. It was clear that Crab was very happy and beaming. His rank had also changed from Inspector to Senior Inspector.

The four great joys in life are: rain after a long drought, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, a monk's wedding night, and an instructor's success in the imperial examination.

He is now on the verge of passing the imperial examination, getting promoted, making a fortune, and marrying a new wife.

Boxing champion Sheng in the interrogation room is his biggest problem right now. As a police officer, he hopes that Sheng will talk quickly and tell him all the evidence he knows, instead of being long-winded.

But as Song Sheng's henchman, he had to keep the boxing champion quiet, lest the bastard reveal too much information.

Meanwhile, Ding Gou and Quan Wang Sheng in the interrogation room were unaware that their colleague in the observation room was having so many thoughts running through his mind.

"Brother Sheng, there are a total of 175 ledgers, a huge amount of cash of 2.37 million with unclear origins, and three paintings stolen from the Hong Kong Arts Centre. Now, the paintings of these three masters, Qi Baishi, Chang Yu, and Zao Wou-Ki, have all risen to astronomical prices."

“If you are convicted based on the amount of money involved in the crime, you will serve at least two hundred years in prison. Even the big boss (Crippled Ho) is not as good as you.”

"The Economic Crimes Unit is currently working overtime to examine your books. I believe these books will definitely help us solve many mysteries."

"The path laid out before you is very clear: cooperate with our police, become a tainted witness, and live your whole life under our protection, in the sewers."

Ding Gou pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it onto the table with a clatter, deliberately making a noise to put some psychological pressure on the boxing champion Sheng. He coughed and continued, "The Nine-Tailed Fox has been captured. It was attacked during transport."

"In terms of friendship, Nine-Tailed Fox is the professor's confidante, but the professor is ruthless and did not spare Nine-Tailed Fox's life. It seems that he will be even less likely to let you go."

"Be sensible!"

As a frequent visitor to the interrogation room, Boxing King Sheng had seen his fair share of psychological tactics from the cops. He hadn't fallen for them when he was a shill for the water station, let alone now.

To be tainted by imperial aura!
This is a mistake that gangsters cannot make. Once this line is crossed, someone will step in to enforce the rules.

Hanging in Hong Kong is used with extreme caution and is not used lightly.

Even if I become a tainted witness, even if I don't have to spend time in the ancestral hall, I'll still have to live like a rat in the sewers, never seeing the light of day.

Now he can only wait until his lawyer comes to see him and they discuss all the opinions before he decides whether to speak or not.

“Sir, I don’t know anything about what you’re saying. The safe is mine, but I don’t know why there’s so much cash and antique paintings in it. Someone must be framing me.”

"I won't say anything until my lawyer arrives!"

"Hong Kong upholds human rights, and I want to see my lawyer!"

Confess and you'll be treated leniently, or you'll rot in jail!
Resist and you'll be punished severely; go home for the New Year!
This is a common saying among the big circle members. Boxing champion Sheng now follows this principle: he won't say anything until his lawyer arrives.

Although the cops have evidence now, if they can't get the fox to talk, they can only sue themselves for illegal possession of cash of unknown origin.

As for the ledger, he wrote it in a special way. Even if they got the notes, without the secret code, they couldn't figure it out.

However, those three antique paintings were indeed a big problem. In Hong Kong, receiving stolen goods can lead to jail time. These three paintings were stolen by the Big Circle Boys. After the robbery, they had nowhere to sell the stolen goods, so they paid 10% of the usual price for receiving stolen goods, and got the three paintings for HK$150,000.

The antique and art market is currently not very good, and prices aren't great, so he's been keeping his collection in a safe, hoping to find a good opportunity to sell it.

I never expected that before I could find a suitable buyer, the cops would take us all down!
It's really unfavorable for fleeting years!

"I forgot to tell you, Greyhound Seven, Ma Biao has signed off on becoming a tainted witness. You are now involved in two murder cases, organizing an external group, organized crime, and several other serious crimes such as human trafficking."

"You cannot see your lawyer until the investigation is completed, which is in accordance with Hong Kong law."

As Ding Gou finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the video recorder next to him, and pressed the power button on the video recorder to pause its operation.

"Boxing King Sheng, we've already sent people to protect your mother and grandmother!"

"If Shenxian Jin hadn't developed Alzheimer's, he would have already sent the Filthy Rat to kill you!"

After saying that, Ding Gou looked at Boxing King Sheng with a smug expression.
