Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 479, Section 60: Spitting Out (Seeking monthly votes!)

Chi Mengli voiced her doubts, and Xiren admitted that she had overlooked this point. She had to re-enter the archives of the Sanatorium & Hospital to review the prescription for the eldest young mistress of the Wen family.

Chi Mengli trusted Xiren's work; she was very adept at this kind of follow-the-leader work.

After finishing their business, Xiren yawned and left Tuodi's office, returning to the office next door, where she prepared to close the door and take a nap on the sofa.

As soon as Xi Ren left, Acong knocked on the door and came in. He plopped down on the sofa, looked at Chi Mengli with her feet on the desk, coughed, and said softly, "Brother Sheng, Professor A wants to see you."

"He wanted to use a secret to save his wife's life."

"Too late! Brother Acong, you agreed to Professor A's offer?"

Chi Mengli put her feet down, stood up, poured two Double Happiness cigarettes out of the pipe, tossed one to Acong, and helped him light it.

With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Ah Cong took a drag, letting the smoke swirl around in his body before exhaling through his nostrils: "I didn't say anything, but he said he was willing to reveal the vault located in He Tianwen to show his sincerity."

"This plane is too big for me to handle, so I'm asking you, Brother Sheng, for advice."

Everyone loves money, but banknotes without any substance can be dangerous; once exposed to the light of day, they can attract unnecessary trouble.

Furthermore, Ah Cong is a member of the Criminal Investigation Department. If he suddenly has an extra sum of money, the head of the department will definitely become suspicious and investigate secretly. If he is convinced that Ah Cong is a traitor, he will definitely try to kill him.

"A desperate gamble? Or a fight to survive?"

"I don't understand!"

Professor A, Professor K, and Song Ci have been in my hands for a while now. Although these three guys are still alive, living in darkness has caused them all to experience some mental breakdowns.

This is also why Teacher Li only used ten million to buy out these three flops.

To be honest, Chi Mengli is in a bit of a bind. They've already interrogated him more than ten times, and they've used every means at their disposal. Even A Cong's abnormal symptoms have been greatly alleviated, and he's moving closer to being a normal person.

Whether it was Professor K, Professor A, or Song Ci, they all kept their mouths shut and refused to reveal any information when faced with interrogations that were not fatal.

These days, even the big shots at the lottery are keeping their mouths shut!

It's important to know that the reason why powerful figures can enter the ancestral hall's private room is because they have implicated a bunch of righteous people who have destroyed the family property, and they have taken all the blame for it, cooperating with the patriarch to put on a show so that they can live a peaceful life in the ancestral hall.

According to the interrogation records, Professor A and his wife were testing which force had handcuffed them, but there should be no conclusion yet, because the testing was not over.

"I don't know!"

To know what you don't know is true knowledge!
Ah Chung, who has many years of experience in the gangster's office, is very clear about his role: he is a tool, a thug who does the fighting.

This sentence was quite eye-catching. Chi Mengli pulled over a boss's chair, sat down, glanced at A Cong, pondered for a second, and then said, "Want it?"

"Yes!"

Everyone likes money, and Ah Cong is no exception, so he nodded firmly.

The world would be much simpler if everyone were a "straight man" (a person of integrity, a mix of Chinese and English).

"Since you want it, then tell Professor A that I will offer a way out, but this way out is very difficult, and only one person can grasp it." "Make Professor A show some sincerity. He Tianwen's treasury is just a small gift. Ask him about Robin; I want to know what kind of business Robin is doing with Professor A! Are they up to something?"

Chi Mengli crossed his legs and flicked his cigarette ash onto the ground. This mess needed to be untangled as soon as possible, after all, a whole host of things were waiting for him to deal with.

Having received an affirmative answer, Acong nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave the office.

Chi Mengli stood up, stopped A Cong, and said, "Professor A is very cunning. Don't fall for his tricks. We just need to find the address of his hidden vault."

"One party benefits while two parties benefit. There are handling fees and water fees for washing rice. Even if it's your own place, you still have to settle accounts clearly, like brothers, and it's 20%."

"After you rinse the rice clean, take half of it; after all, it's the oil you extracted!"

The unpleasant truth must be stated upfront: Chi Mengli will state the price, and we'll see how Acong considers it.

Everyone in the underworld says that Handsome Sheng is a big shot with plenty of money in his pocket. Ah Cong worked hard for him before and was rewarded handsomely. Now, Brother Sheng has already arranged everything for Ah Cong, including his food, daily necessities, housing, and home.

Besides, Professor A is Sheng Ge's piglet. According to the rules of the underworld, no matter how much profit is squeezed out, it all belongs to Sheng Ge.

Now that Sheng-ge is willing to give me half of the cleaned food, even his own father wouldn't do that.

"Brother Sheng, I've done everything I told you to do!"

Ah Cong nodded, indicating his agreement.

It's best if there are no complaints. People's eyes turn redder than rabbits' when they see money, so it's better to agree on things beforehand to avoid everyone tearing each other apart over money.

Chi Mengli patted Acong on the shoulder and said, "Your mother has been admitted to the Sanatorium & Hospital. It was through Xiren's old connections. Go and thank them later. We're all brothers, you help me, I'll help you."

"Don't worry about the medical expenses, I'll help you out for now. We're brothers, no need for any complaints!"

"Go ahead and get busy! Once you find out the location, don't tell me. Just page Ah Dong, and he'll take care of it!"

While it's reasonable to assume Professor A wouldn't resort to any tricks, there's definitely something fishy going on in his coffers. It's definitely not a good idea for his own people to venture into his den.

But the three Tony brothers from Annam were different. They were born with terrible luck, but with his help, they started a legitimate business selling cassette tapes.

According to Jimmy, these three scoundrels spent money extravagantly, buying a 2,000-square-foot tenement building, bringing their elderly mothers to live with them, and each owning a Jaguar sports car. They were trying to emulate wealthy tycoons and hook up with movie stars.

The money we gave them before was all spent in less than half a year. What a loser! They're hopeless.

The three Tony brothers didn't think much of the stall business they handed over to them; they believed that people born to wield weapons had no future!
Since the three Tony brothers don't value their lives, Chi Mengli has nothing to regret. As long as the money is right, they'll definitely be willing to go into battle.

"I know!"

“Brother Sheng, there have been a lot of strangers near the dock lately. If Professor A doesn’t move soon, he’ll definitely be exposed. I arranged a boat three days ago, and we can move him tonight.”

The wharf is a mixed bag, but the old Wu Kai Sha wharf is sparsely populated. The cargo yard only has a small gantry crane, and only regular customers come here.

It's almost Chinese New Year, and freight has long since stopped. They're just waiting to get busy after the holiday. So it's a bit odd to see unfamiliar faces appearing at this time!
