Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 447, Section 28: It's a trap, but also an opportunity!
(Thanks to Wardrobe Guest, Bald Song, for his passionate support! Thank you for your support!)

Xiao Shandong stopped, his hand still inside his trench coat. He hesitated for a second, analyzing whether Chi Mengli would keep her promise and blow up the timer in his pocket.

After much deliberation, and seeing Chi Mengli's ambiguous smile, he decisively backed down, only taking out cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and placing them on the table.

"Actually, I started timing the moment I stepped out of the office. Time is money, and you can't buy back time with money!"

Not wanting to lose in terms of momentum, Xiao Shandong revealed all his ruthless methods.

It takes at least fifteen minutes to drive from Central to Victoria Harbour. Looks like I'll lose another three thousand dollars. Man proposes, God disposes!
Chi Mengli picked up a small spoon, tapped the coffee cup in front of her, and called the waiter over to refill Xiao Shandong's Long Island Iced Tea.

“Chi Sheng, I recently found some useful clues about Song Sheng that I’m sure you’ll be interested in, so I came here as soon as possible.”

A new cup of Long Island Iced Tea was served. Xiao Shandong drank more than half of it in one gulp, then opened his briefcase and placed an enlarged photograph in front of Chi Mengli.

This is a photo that is a bit blurry due to being enlarged. It's an ordinary street scene, dilapidated and lacking any distinctive features. Eighty percent of Hong Kong's rural housing estates look like this.

Chi Mengli nonchalantly picked up the photos on the table, carefully examined the buildings in the photos, and recalled the street scenes in her mind, only to find that none of them matched.

Since the street scene didn't match the streets in his memory, he focused his attention on the people.

An old-fashioned car, judging from the hood ornament, should be a Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes-Benz is surrounded by bodyguards and henchmen, whose faces are blurry and hard to see, but the large signboard is very eye-catching.

The signboard is not made of solid wood, but rather a neon light bulb signboard, which is very popular in Hong Kong now.

【Observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation diagnose a hundred diseases; the principal, assistant, adjuvant, and guiding herbs cure a thousand ailments】

It's a very traditional clinic sign. Most established clinics use it as a couplet, but this is probably the first time it's been used as a signboard.

"Medical clinic?"

"Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic?"

After memorizing all the information in the photo, Chi Mengli handed it to Xiren, who was sitting to the side and carefully reviewing the documents, asking her to check if there was anything suspicious.

"Yes! It's a Chinese medicine clinic, the number one clinic in Kowloon Walled City, Xinglin Clinic. This clinic, ranked number one in Kowloon Walled City, uses a full set of high-end American medical facilities."

"It can rival the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, and even has advanced treatment plans developed by underground research institutes in Europe. Kowloon Walled City is an enclave. According to the agreement signed between the foreigners and the former Qing Dynasty, Kowloon Walled City is a diplomatic exemption territory. It was the former magistrate's office and county magistrate's office."

"Xinglin Medical Clinic can use these treatment plans at will, without approval or supervision, as long as they are effective."

"This is not the most attractive aspect of Xinglin Medical Clinic to bigwigs from all walks of life in Hong Kong. After all, as long as you are willing to travel by air, you can always safely use this kind of high-end treatment on your body."

"What attracts the attention of bigwigs the most is that there is no waiting for organ transplant surgery, but the treatment cost is ridiculously high. However, there are advantages to being expensive. You don't have to wait for organs. As long as you pay the treatment fee, you can have the surgery."

"but"

Xiao Shandong deliberately dragged out the last syllable to attract the slightly indifferent Chi Mengli. Then he picked up the small fork from the cake plate, tapped the glass, and asked the waiter to refill his Long Island Iced Tea.

"Keep going. I'm listening."

Chi Mengli crossed his legs, lit another cigarette, and let Xiao Shandong continue to speak freely.

"But the organs at Xinglin Medical Clinic are not sold outright; Xinglin Medical Clinic only rents them out, and a certain fee is required each year."

"The heart costs one million a year, the liver costs five hundred thousand, and the kidney is the cheapest, costing only three hundred thousand. Xinglin Hospital has a price list, just like the beef stalls in the market."

Xiao Shandong talked a lot, his mouth was dry, and after taking another sip of Long Island Iced Tea, he pushed his glass aside and asked for a glass of iced water. He had to meet with clients in the afternoon, and being drunk was not the right time for him to make exorbitant demands.

"continue!"

Chi Mengli continued smoking quietly. He could roughly guess what Xiao Shandong was going to say, but he didn't want to be too clever for his own good. If it turned out to be different from what he expected, he would be in big trouble!
Xiao Shandong suddenly became curious. Why was this young man always so calm and collected? Although it's said that youth is composed and old age is eccentric, such cunning and ruthlessness would put a lot of pressure on those around him.

Destined to be a single dog for life!
We need to bring out some serious stuff!

Xiao Shandong opened his backpack and took out the remaining five photos, placing them all in front of Chi Mengli.

Chi Mengli picked up the photo and discovered it was a crime scene, or more accurately, an undiscovered crime scene. The main figures in the photo were a man and a woman. The man had been disemboweled, and the Y-shaped cut was very neat.

The woman's body was intact, except that her eyes had been gouged out. "These two corpses belong to important figures. The woman is from South Korea, named Kim Jung-sook, the owner of Gwangyang Port in Yeosu, and one of the heirs of the Yeosu Kim family."

"However, the port owned by Kim Jung-sook is very small. It is a fishing boat dock with only four cold storage facilities and one container berth. Its annual throughput is only 20,000 TEUs."

"But small piers are not without their advantages. The price from Hong Kong to Kwong Yeung Port is HK$18 per standard container, which is low."

"In addition, South Korea is also a transit point for the speedboats. The speedboats obtain pigs from epidemic areas in Europe, Brazil, North America, and Thailand. The high-quality pigs and pig offal are transported back to Hong Kong, while the medium-quality and low-quality ones are transported to South Korea."

"The pig offal and pig intestines sold at South Korean street stalls are all transported over from Hong Kong by big-time smugglers. Kim Jung-sook collects the rent and also acts as a demolition company to distribute the goods."

"Earn millions a year just by sitting down!"

"But this Kim Jung-sook has a very bad love life. She was targeted by her son-in-law and tricked into going to a casino hotel in Macau, where she owes a large sum of money."

"Kim Jung-sook's corneal surgery was performed at the Xinglin Medical Clinic. The annual rent of HK$200,000 was paid very easily by Kim Jung-sook in the previous two years thanks to her dock business, but she mysteriously disappeared a few months ago."

"The Pink Floyd Detective Agency only located Kim Jung-sook's exact whereabouts last month and found photos from that time."

"The second victim was named Lin Dongsheng, a Hong Konger, a wanted criminal of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, a Red Pole of the Joint Division, a boat watchman, just as you imagined, a seaman, the professor's pork was distributed by this guy."

"These two are both customers of Xinglin Medical Clinic!"

After Xiao Shandong finished speaking, he took out the phone records he had collected and analyzed earlier. They were about half a finger thick and had been categorized, completely completing the previous person's task.

Picking up the phone log, Chi Mengli quickly flipped through it, but couldn't find anything wrong with it. She then placed it in front of Xiren. This was all information and data, which was the most delicious treat for a weirdo like Xiren who loved to pry into other people's secrets.

"The Pink Floyd Detective Agency can even find out the truth about a simple-minded girl who's been sold into a brothel, but when it comes to investigating a big shot who's a household name in the underworld, they can't find a single useful piece of information!"

"Instead, it has brought a hook to those with ulterior motives. If all Pink Floyd detective agencies use the same methods as Mr. Shandong, I really want my deposit back."

"Several million in cash could pile up and kill a person, but I haven't even seen a single hair of Song Sheng. Could it be that Song Sheng's information was also erased by Sun Wukong with a single stroke?"

The information Xiao Shandong provided was bait, or even poison bait. If he were to foolishly make a move, he would have his head smashed by the filthy rats within a night.

Those big shots who can afford to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan a year to rent organs are definitely not on the right track. After all, in the eyes of Shanghainese and the bigwigs of various business associations, it is not difficult to put themselves first on the organ donation list.

Even these bigwigs can control the age and condition of organs, so they don't need to break the law.

The identities of every patient at the Xinglin Hospital in Kowloon Walled City are worth investigating.

If these underworld bosses who were waiting for organs to survive knew that it was Chi Mengli who shattered their last hope of life, they would definitely be willing to spend a little money to send themselves to the underworld to sell salted duck eggs.

My father died young, and I died young too. If I'm destined to die young in this life, then there's no justice in this world!
Handsome Guy is good at making a name for himself, so you absolutely can't lay a hand on him. As for Chi Mengli, the name itself suggests an intellectual who is upright and honest, so you absolutely can't lay a hand on him either.

But his deepest identity, codenamed Needle, is that of a policeman who can do what he's supposed to do: catching thieves is his duty, and whoever gets caught has to accept the consequences.

After the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) cleared the area, you went to cause trouble for the Big Brother (the leader of the organization). You followed Fu Yisheng's reckless behavior and sent people to splash paint and write large characters on the entrance of the Big Brother's official residence.

To this day, no one has stepped forward to use the Fu Yi Sheng signboard to make a living or run errands. In the end, it was Old Fu who spent 200,000 to buy the Fu Yi Sheng signboard as a memento.

The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), district anti-triad units, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the Narcotics Bureau have all issued statements warning that anyone who dares to use the name of Fuk Yee Shing will be locked up for life.

"It is indeed dangerous, and there is even a 99% chance that it is poison sent by someone with ulterior motives."

“Ke Chisheng, now that Shuifang has turned against Songsheng, you are Shuifang’s top supporter, so you should be the one to speak up and take the lead. If you speak out, people will come out to support you.”

"Also, I received a message that Brother Red Flag Fifth, an old guy from the Four Seas Alliance and the Loyalty Society, has arrived in Hong Kong and is staying at the Duris Hotel."

"The wharves of Evergreen Group in southern Taiwan are all controlled by the disciples and followers of this Brother Hongqi. It can be confirmed that this Brother Hongqi is Song Sheng's behind-the-scenes supporter."

"I've said everything I needed to say. What you do, Chi Sheng, is none of my business."

Xiao Shandong took a sip of ice water and waited for Chi Mengli's next instruction.

If you take money, you should help people solve their problems; you must have professional ethics in your conduct and work!
