Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 446, Section 27: A brilliant tactic!

Chi Mengli held a newspaper in her hand, and the coffee in front of her was steaming. After December, the warm sea breeze returned to Hong Kong.

Eighteen degrees Celsius is the most suitable temperature for humans. It is neither too hot nor too cold, keeps the mind clear, allows for vigorous exercise, and can also prevent high blood pressure.

As is customary, the Peninsula Hotel also set up chairs and sunshades in its garden and began doing outdoor business.

The Peninsula Hotel's tea restaurant is famous throughout Asia. If you don't call to make a reservation, you'll just have to sit in the air-conditioned restaurant.

Xi Ren sat opposite Chi Mengli, eating Basque cake. Because too much chocolate powder was sprinkled on it, the cake tasted a bit bitter. She only took two bites before putting down her spoon.

“There are more than 100 insurance companies in Hong Kong, most of which are in the hands of the comprador families of Hong Kong. They have always cooperated with the Shanghai businessmen. As long as a Shanghai businessman goes into business, the comprador families of Hong Kong will open a new insurance company.”

“Currently, Hong Kong’s registration laws are very lenient. Insurance companies cannot have less than two million in paid-in capital, but once the two million in paid-in capital is verified, it can be converted into company funds.”

"In other words, the two million in registration capital can be used an unlimited number of times."

"And the 10,000 yuan handling fee each time is just a drop in the bucket, nothing to worry about!"

"Brother Sheng, if you think you can find the judge by investigating the insurance company, that's much harder than finding a needle in a haystack!"

Xi Ren took a sip of unsweetened lemonade and felt even more bitter in her mouth. She quickly raised her hand to call the waiter and ordered a Diet Coke, intending to use the soda to get rid of the bitterness in her mouth.

“I never said that the judge was hiding in the insurance company.”

"The file that Teacher Li left you is very comprehensive. The five most recent short-lived individuals were clients of five different insurance companies. Medical insurance in Hong Kong is very strict; it's not something you can just apply for and get!"

"Lloyd's is the world's first state-owned social insurance company. Those foreigners from the Zu family are extremely evil, you could say they are beasts, worse than pigs and dogs. But these beasts, these scumbags who are worse than pigs and dogs, are very respectful of humanity."

"And all five patients were denied insurance. The premium of two hundred yuan a month is only affordable for the weak and incompetent middle class."

“The people in the public housing estates are very practical. You can say they are burying their heads in the sand, but there is no problem with their logic. As long as I don’t go to the hospital or have any medical check-ups, I am healthy.”

"As for headaches and fever, these are just typhoid fever and colds. Just take some ibuprofen and it will be fine. If that doesn't work, there are painkillers. Only go to the hospital to wait for death when you're completely exhausted."

"The concept of the middle class is quite absurd. Most of them have a sense of truth, goodness, and beauty in their hearts and are willing to go bankrupt for their loved ones."

"The judge has seized upon the fatal weakness of the middle class to continuously recruit one-off killers. For those who are heavily in debt, leaving a sum of money for their wives, children, and elderly parents so that they can live comfortably is a very good outcome."

"For the money, these one-off killers will keep their mouths tightly shut and will not reveal any information about the judge."

"What a genius!"

After Chi Mengli finished explaining the judge's plan, she mentally gave the judge a thumbs up. The old man was right; the most terrifying people are those who put knowledge into practice.

"I checked with my old connections and found that these five disposable rats came from five different insurance companies, and what these five insurance companies had in common was that they all provided medical insurance."

"Here's the question, quick and easy: Where do you think the judge is hiding, running his wicked little schemes?"

"I'll give you a prize for guessing. If you guess correctly, I'll hand over Professor K to you so you can sell him for a good price and make up for your losses."

Chi Mengli put down her newspaper, took a sip of coffee, and then gave Xiren a quiz with prizes.

"I won't bet what I already own!"

"Unless Brother Sheng is a dishonest and untrustworthy person?"

Xi Ren took a sip of Diet Coke, let out a comfortable burp, then blinked and looked at Chi Mengli with a charming expression.

"Boring woman!"

“You’re right. It’s a very foolish move to use your existing resources for the next trade.”

“Professor K is yours, but the place where this guy is being held is a bit tricky. It will take some effort. Are you planning to sell him to Teacher Li? As your partner, I must remind you that Teacher Li is a middle-aged man, and all he has to do is talk the talk.”

"Without Indian herbal oil, he couldn't even last five minutes."

"Chinese people have always thought that the sex life between husband and wife is not important, but when couples quarrel, it is usually because of unsatisfied desires."

"sad!"

While she was still keeping her promise, Chi Mengli picked up the newspaper again and looked at the trending gossip.

Thanks to Uncle Shaw, every single movie star, male and female host, TV drama star, and variety show star in Hong Kong is broke. They all go out to be gigolos and mistresses who ruin other people's lives.

Therefore, entertainment reporting in Hong Kong is very developed. There are even some tabloids for housewives that specialize in writing fan fiction to attract readers. Housewives love it and buy every issue.

Newspapers, as the pioneers of online literature, even went so far as to create extramarital affair dramas, using language so unrestrained that even early online literature couldn't compete. "Could it be the personnel department?"

Seeing that Professor K was completely hers, Xiren began to think about the little question Chi Mengli had given her, but after thinking for a long time, she came up with a very stupid answer.

madness!

That's so stupid!

The foolish Chi Mengli rolled her eyes after hearing this and sighed helplessly. When Xiren first came to her, she was full of spirit, but after only a few days, she became a blockhead and had no imagination at all.

"Wrong! Utterly wrong! The clouds are so deep that one cannot see where the mountain is, simply because one is in the mountain itself!"

“Mathematicians are rational people; you’re too fixated on insurance companies.”

“I found something interesting: all five of these insurance companies that have health insurance policies use the same data destruction company.”

"Most of Hong Kong's laws come from the ancestral homeland, and the ancestral homeland's laws are designed to balance employment."

"This leads to an absurd situation: insurance companies have no right to destroy their own obsolete policies; they can only send them to specialized data destruction companies."

"In the past twenty years, Hong Kong has only approved one data destruction company. The owner behind this data destruction company is the wife of the current Chief Executive of the Department of Justice (it's against the rules no matter how you look at it!)."

"Since its establishment, this company has been contracted to handle the data destruction work of the four major foreign banks: HSBC, Standard Chartered, Swire, and Wharf Holdings. Each foreign bank's annual budget of one million dollars has been given to this data company."

"All the foreign firms, Chinese-owned firms, investment banks, and major Chinese-owned companies in Hong Kong would wisely send their data to this data destruction company for processing."

"Over the past twenty years, this data destruction company has changed its boss many times. Whenever the Chief Executive of the Department of Justice changes, the data destruction company changes its boss as well."

"Incredibly accurate!"

Gift-giving is an art. If someone can do it so quietly for so many years, it must be deeply ingrained. Even if the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) finds out, they have to pretend they don't know.

Chi Mengli sometimes really admires the thought processes of the four major foreign trading companies; these scoundrels always manage to come up with some new discoveries.

Xi Ren immediately realized that the answer was so simple. Chi Mengli's way of looking at problems was very tricky. This guy directly abandoned the evidence given by Teacher Li and only looked at the objective evidence with a subjective perspective.

Data destruction company!
Xiren quickly opened her notebook, which contained information she had collected over the years. She flipped through the pages, trying to find the answers she knew.

Chi Mengli picked up the newspaper again and continued reading the erotic news.

"Sorry! I've interrupted your happy date!"

Xiao Shandong's tone was always irritating and flippant, and his words were always malicious.

But this scoundrel is still very useful, and Chi Mengli can't take him down yet.

"I'm shameless, and I don't care if people talk about me. But this young lady in front of me is as beautiful as a flower, about to bloom. If I can't find my Mr. Right because of your nonsense, I'll definitely drag you into the sea with me."

Chi Mengli picked up the cigarette case on the table, took out a Dupont lighter and a cigarette, lit it for herself, and then gestured for Xizai and the other person who had stood up to sit down and not to make a fuss.

The nonchalant Shandong native shrugged and sat down next to Chi Mengli, ordering a Long Island Iced Tea from the waiter standing nearby.

"It's still morning. Isn't it a bit early to drink Long Island Iced Tea at this hour?"

Chi Mengli raised her head and looked at the sky through her sunglasses, only to find that the sun had not yet set; it was at its zenith, providing light and heat for humankind.

good day!
"I love Long Island Iced Tea, Chi Sheng. Because of you, I went to Las Vegas, danced and sang with Margot Kid, drank eight Long Island Iced Teas, and then lost my pants!"

"It was truly an unforgettable experience!"

A chilled Long Island Iced Tea was placed in front of Xiao Shandong. He picked up the glass, downed it in one gulp, and finished the entire glass of Long Island Iced Tea, his face beaming with the greasy, smug smile of a middle-aged man.

Judging from this smile, it's clear that Xiao Shandong did indeed have a hot dance with Margot Kidd. Chi Mengli also likes Margot Kidd, the Canadian actress who showed off her hot figure in the latest Superman movie.

But every time they met, Xiao Shandong would bring a timer—the kind used in chess matches. This hapless, middle-aged, greasy man would remember every second of the conversation and then mail himself a bill.

What a despicable bastard!

"I'm not interested in your romantic musings, and besides, if you dare to take out the timer in your pocket, I'll definitely smash it."

"Great Mr. Holmes, give me a clue, some clue about my enemy!"

Chi Mengli saw Xiao Shandong's hand reaching into his pocket and stopped him in time.
