Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 575, Section 165: What's meant to happen will happen.

This time, Chi Mengli didn't drive her own Volvo sedan, but instead drove a Jeep SUV that Ruan Wen had bought as a decoration, and arrived at Wan Chai Ferry Pier.

The pass that the pastor had previously issued had expired, but he just threw a pack of Marlboro Reds at the security guard, who didn't even look at the pass, pressed a button, and raised the barrier to let him through.

Facing the security guard who was abusing his power for personal gain, Chi Mengli, imitating a Hollywood movie, gave an American-style military salute and drove off.

The Wan Chai Ferry Pier was still bustling on Lunar New Year's Eve. Dockworkers could work without holidays because shipping and handling cargo required a large number of people. They were willing to work overtime during holidays because they could get bonuses for doing so.

Following the asphalt road inside the dock, they arrived at the agreed location. Chi Mengli parked the car on the side of the road, honked the horn a few times, took out a cigarette case, lit a Double Happiness cigarette, and silently smoked it.

"Chi Sheng, you've arrived!"

Liu Wenfeng and Panda Boy emerged from the corner, both dressed in the uniforms of dock workers, standing respectfully by the car door.

Chi Mengli pushed open the car door, jumped to the ground, took out a cigarette case, picked out two cigarettes, and threw them to the two customs officers in front of her.

Liu Wenfeng took the cigarette, quickly put it in his mouth, and thanked him with a big smile.

The situation is now completely different. Renekton has gone from being called "Mr." to "Commander Renekton," and he even took the initiative to praise himself a couple of times in the meeting room.

The expression on his boss Sadangdan's face was quite interesting, while Huapao turned completely pale.

After the meeting, Sadangdan and Huapao came to congratulate him on gaining a new powerful backer.

He knew his own situation well; he was able to turn his life around entirely because of Chi Sheng's help and favors. Otherwise, why would Commander Renekton remember him, an unknown nobody?

Having made up his mind, Liu Wenfeng was ready to board Chi Sheng's big ship. As long as things didn't go too far, he would definitely go wherever he was told.

Chi Mengli took out a Dupont lighter, lit it for Liu Wenfeng herself, and then stuffed the diamond-encrusted, gold-plated Dupont lighter into Liu Wenfeng's hand: "Liu sir, your dark circles are so obvious!"

"Don't stay up all night anymore, it's bad for your health, take care of yourself!"

"I feel ashamed to ask you to work overtime, but it is the responsibility of a good citizen to rid the people of evil, so I can only trouble you, Officer Liu!"

After speaking, Chi Mengli pulled out two large bundles of gold from the inside of his leather jacket and stuffed them into Liu Wenfeng's hands, letting him distribute them as he pleased.

Liu Wenfeng knew exactly how much a Dupont lighter was worth. The gold-plated and diamond-encrusted model was something you couldn't buy even if you wanted to. If you took it to a pawn shop, you could get at least three to five thousand yuan.

The two bundles of large golden bulls are also quite heavy, costing at least 40,000 yuan.

Liu Wenfeng smiled and, without hesitation, put the bag in his pocket.

He found out Chi Sheng's background: a double-flower red stick in the water room, the leader of the Yau Ma Tei gang, a major shareholder of AKB48, the head of Daily Fresh, and so on.

There are too many titles to list them all in one breath.

Young and with a bright future ahead!
"I may not live up to Mr. Chi's title of 'Inspector Lau,' but I'm willing to work hard for him!"

"If you don't mind, you can just call me Ah Feng."

Liu Wenfeng quickly stated that he would see things through to the end.

"Brother Feng, how's the situation?"

Liu Wenfeng is at least a generation older than him, so Chi Mengli definitely couldn't bring himself to call him "Ah Feng." He would just politely address him as "Brother Feng."

Liu Wenfeng quickly had Panda Boy bring out the document bag he had prepared beforehand, and said rapidly, "Chi Sheng, the private warehouses at Taikoo Wharf were all sealed off last night."

"Guanlou directly sent people to seal off the warehouses. The security guards and staff of each private warehouse were all handcuffed and locked in the detention room. No notice has been issued yet, and most of the private warehouse owners should not know the situation."

"Because it happened close to 10 p.m., the news was covered up very well. Most of the private warehouse owners were at home celebrating the Lunar New Year and didn't hear anything about it."

"The officers didn't empty the warehouse; they just sealed it up and sent people to guard it. It was an order from Commander Raketon!"

“After I finished dealing with Taikoo Ferry Pier yesterday, I immediately returned to Wan Chai Ferry Pier and found something was wrong. Three trucks came to Warehouse No. 15 in the middle of the night and transported a lot of goods inside.”

"I risked getting closer and discovered it was a living chamber."

"These are the photos, and the negatives are also included. I didn't go back to Guanlou to develop the photos; instead, I found a well-kept photo studio, kept an eye on the photographer, and had three sets developed, just in case."

Liu Wenfeng thought it through very thoroughly, considering all aspects, just in case he might mess things up for his boss.

"Brother Feng, you're truly amazing, absolutely incredible!"

The candidate chosen for the single-strand knot is excellent. He is sensible, knows the rules, has no connections to climb the ladder, and is quite capable. Although he can't provide timely help, he can definitely add icing on the cake.

Chi Mengli was very satisfied with Liu Wenfeng's abilities. Although he didn't know what was stored in the Wen family's warehouse, Old Ghost Wen was focusing on training Black Tiger because he wanted to expand his business in the underworld.

People really do get more confused as they get older. These gangsters all want to leave the underworld, while the bosses who have already settled down all want to make quick money. They're so short-sighted.

Opening the file folder, Chi Mengli took out all the photos inside. The first two photos didn't have much content, but it wasn't until the third photo, when he saw Hei Ahu, that he smiled with satisfaction.

"Is the confession settled?"

Chi Mengli returned the negatives to Liu Wenfeng and inquired about the fat monk's statement.

Liu Wenfeng reached out to Panda Boy, who immediately understood and pulled out his statement book from his briefcase. This is a bit of an exaggeration!

Chi Mengli was a little taken aback, but he admired Liu Wenfeng's caution. He read through the whole thing and found that the fat monk insisted that there was Miss Bai and pork in the warehouse, and then he was chased by the Wen family.

The testimony was perfect because the whole plot was designed by Xi Ren. Fat Monk was on duty that day, and there were also a lot of goods going in and out of warehouse number 15 that day.

The time, place, and people all match up.

Furthermore, they now possess photos of Black Tiger. If any suspicious activity is discovered in the warehouse, Black Tiger is guaranteed to meet a gruesome end.

Chi Mengli returned the statement book to Liu Wenfeng and said directly, "Brother Feng, tonight, someone will deliver cash to your homes. Your brother Feng will receive 500,000, and the brothers behind him will receive 200,000."

“I’ve already spoken to Mr. Renekton and will arrange a lucrative position for you two. I’ll take care of the favors and pay the bills.”

"But there's a condition: do you dare to charge forward?"

“You should all know who’s behind Warehouse No. 15. I won’t force you. At 8 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, during the Wen family’s New Year’s Eve dinner, I need you to take the arrest warrant and take down Wen Tianchuan, the fourth young master of the Wen family.”

"Whether you have the guts or not, we'll see with this move!"

Liu Wenfeng never expected Chi Sheng to be so ruthless, leaving no room for maneuver, and to take action directly on New Year's Eve. This was not only a slap in the face to the Wen family, but also an act of defecating and urinating on their head.

"Chi Sheng, isn't this airplane a bit too big!"

Liu Wenfeng stuttered a little. The weather was cool and the sea breeze was strong, but cold sweat still dripped down his forehead.

"Relax! Relax! If the Wen family finds out you've been causing trouble behind my back, they'll send you to Shark Dim Sum Shop and sell your whole family to a brothel in Macau!"

"You two are already on board. If you don't do it, I won't protect you, and the Wen family will kill you. But if we work together to overcome difficulties and go all the way, then we'll all prosper together!"

Chi Mengli took out the cigarette case again, picked out three Double Happiness cigarettes, lit them, and gave one to Liu Wenfeng and Panda Boy, waiting for the two customs officers' response.

He also had a backup plan in his pocket, namely Ge Wei. This foreigner only cares about money and not people. He would charge forward for money. No matter how arrogant the Wen family is, they wouldn't dare to kill the foreigner who was investigating.

This was quite simple; Ge Wei also applied for an arrest warrant from a familiar magistrate.

At that time, Liu Wenfeng was doing all the work for someone else, and everything he did went to Ge Wei. But one should finish what one started, so Chi Mengli still wanted to give Liu Wenfeng a chance.

There are two reasons. With Ge Wei involved, the Wen family will not want to continue the fight, because they cannot win against foreigners. Even if Wen Laogui is arrogant, he would not dare to fight against those with guns and seals.

Through Zhou Miaoyun, the Zhou family, who are related by marriage, were asked to go to the Hong Kong Club to talk with the taipans of Jardine Matheson and HSBC, and to have these two taipans meet with the Governor and the Chief Secretary.

Satisfying Taikoo and Jardine Matheson, then carving out another piece of meat for the Governor's Mansion, the No. 1 Villa on the Mid-Levels (the official residence of the Provincial Treasurer), and incidentally giving the Zhou family plenty of benefits, everything will be settled.

In this way, Chi Mengli would only get negligible benefits, and he didn't want to go through all that trouble only to benefit others.

But if a Chinese customs officer were to intervene, given Wen Jiabao's personality, he would definitely choose to fight it out.

When things get chaotic, Wen Jiabao makes more moves, and the more mistakes he makes, the more Chi Mengli can profit from the chaos.

But Chi Mengli wouldn't say these things to Liu Wenfeng. He silently smoked, waiting for Liu Wenfeng's decision.

Sweating profusely, Liu Wenfeng's facial expressions changed dramatically, much like a Sichuan opera face-changing act. In just one minute, he portrayed a range of emotions, including pain and inner turmoil.

After considering it for a full five minutes, he finally made his decision and said in a hoarse voice, "Chisheng, I promise to do as you say, don't worry."

"I bought a blank form back then. This form was very useful at the time, but I didn't use it. It's still here today. All I need to do is fill in my name and say hello."

"The evidence we have is conclusive, so there shouldn't be any problem even if we go through the normal channels."

Chi Sheng is right. We're already on the ship. If the Wen family survives this time and recovers, none of us will have a way out. We'll have to trample them a thousand times and then fill the rest of the ship with dirt before we can feel at ease.

What's meant to happen will happen!

Chi Mengli threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out with her shoe, and looked up at the loudspeaker outside the dock: "In the past, we would gather around the stove, drink wine, and lean on green leaves and red flowers. The sound of autumn is only transmitted at midnight. Good fairy, winter clothes have been carefully sewn for your lover."

"Who would have thought that Lang would suffer from hunger and cold in this cold winter?"

"Alas, what can a steel blade sever ten thousand threads of affection? It's all because people are poor and their ambitions are diminished by a third. The world is cold and cruel, and this is true in both ancient and modern times."

After arranging everything, Chi Mengli took her suitcase to see Ge Wei, setting up a double insurance plan. If Liu Wenfeng retreated when the time came, it would be easier for him to take over.

Having accepted the money, Ge Wei readily agreed. As an official student, no matter how much the Chinese tycoon tried to bully him, he couldn't do anything to him; he was simply enforcing the law impartially.

After settling everything, he drove back to Victoria Peak.

Traffic was sparse on the mountain road, so Chi Mengli deliberately took a detour and drove to the Lion Pavilion. Looking at Victoria Harbour in the distance, he sighed repeatedly as he gazed at the harbour during the day.

It's not that the scenery isn't beautiful enough, but after I crossed the Sheung Wan Ring Road, a minivan started following me. It's been following me the whole way; it moves when I move, and it stops when I stop. I can't shake it off; it seems like it's coming for me.

At this crucial time of year, if you're not a creditor, you're a filthy rat that'll take your life.

He can pay back his debts, Chi Mengli is short of money, but he can't pay for murder with his life, he has too many murder cases on his hands, he can't pay them all!
