Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 600, Section 190: Everything is Ready

(Thanks to the boy who loves reading historical novels for his support!)

Sister Goose could only shake her head helplessly. Handsome Sheng had a lot of criminal records, but no key witnesses. Every time, it was his rivals who had bad luck and misfortune!

Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law. Without key witnesses coming forward to identify the perpetrators, no matter how much you talk, it's just a waste of breath.

Several triads that have a grudge against Handsome Sheng will not stand up to bask in the emperor's favor or break the rules of the underworld. The brothers in the underworld will keep their distance from them, and the triads will become sunset triads, moldy triads.

"Good Citizen Award? The place where they planted flags and set up a big commotion is Temple Street, the Tin Hau Temple. Even if you set up a shop selling ginseng and longevity pills, nobody would pay attention to you, let alone plant flags and set up a big commotion. There wasn't even a good citizen who called the police. Everyone was just watching the show and no one was surprised."

"They were two backpackers from Zujia Village. They watched the commotion for a while before realizing it wasn't a movie shoot, but a real fight! That's when they called 911 to report it. Plus, a uniformed officer on patrol spotted them and notified headquarters, which is how we got wind of it!"

"However, when the guys arrived, the landlords from Wo Luen Shing had all come to clean up the mess, so they couldn't get many people to come."

"I heard that Handsome Sheng took care of Ghost Hand and Roast Chicken. He knocked out all of one of their teeth, so he can only drink soup with a straw from now on!"

"All the flags that Wo Luen Shing had planted in Temple Street were pulled down by Handsome Shing!"

Wo Luen Shing boasts that it is the number one Wo Kee, and Old Ghost Tang has made a big statement saying that he will support Blackie Ah Hu to the end and will set up an incense hall on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and open the temple gates wide.

But today is only the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Handsome Sheng has already taken action, sweeping all three Red Sticks of Wo Luen Shing out of the competition. Old Ghost Tang's boast will definitely be ridiculed.

"Since no one has won the Good Citizen Award, we will proceed according to the rules."

It's easy to handcuff and imprison real underworld bosses, but it's very difficult to convict them. Underworld bosses have henchmen and can afford to hire famous lawyers and top lawyers. If you can't find the key evidence, it's difficult to even file a public prosecution.

After following a few cases, Peach Girl finally understood the operating rules of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) and began to do her best and leave the rest to fate.
She took the half-smoked cigarette out of her mouth, flicked it into the trash can, and walked towards Hong Sheng Sparrow Pavilion.

The parking spot in front of Hong Sheng Mahjong Hall is occupied by Bai Tou Weng, a trusted young man from Spinach East. This scoundrel is prematurely gray-haired; he's only eighteen years old, but his hair is already completely white. People call him Bai Tou Weng all the time, so he simply changed his nickname to Bai Tou Weng.

Upon seeing the police coming to cause trouble, the old man with white hair tucked his Camel cigarette behind his ear, quickly stood in front of the door, and said, "Officers, the mahjong parlor is closed today. If you want to play mahjong, we'll open promptly at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Thank you!"

The old man with white hair pointed to the wooden sign hanging on the door, which had four big characters on it: "Closed for business!"
"Sorry! I'm not here to play mahjong, I'm here to recruit people!"

"We both know that a lot of planes have been involved in the incident in Wenmingli. There's no escaping it. I'm asking Handsome Sheng to go back and assist with the investigation, but if you want to see an arrest warrant, I can apply for one!"

"Be sensible and don't force me to work overtime and come over every day to check the cards. Prince Hui's mahjong parlor is full of camel cigarettes. Just because I turn a blind eye doesn't mean I don't know that the cigarettes are hookahs!"

Peach Blossom Girl snorted coldly. She had to drag Handsome Sheng back today. If these gangsters didn't know what was good for them, she would immediately drag them all back to the West Kowloon Police Station and make Handsome Sheng bleed a lot.

“Sir, if you join the gang, I’ll have to leave and have no future. How about this, I’ll go up and ask the boss. If the boss has no objections, I have no objections either!”

The white-headed old man must block the way; he has to block it even if he can't.

Being kind to others is beneficial to yourself!
Peach Blossom Girl didn't make things difficult for the old man with white hair, but she didn't say anything either. She just nodded and told the old man to get to work.

The old man with white hair gave a few instructions to the young men beside him, telling them to block the door and not let anyone in.

He quickly went upstairs and arrived at the third floor. Xizai, who was sitting outside the office door, stood up. The old man quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words to him.

When Xizai heard that the O-Division cops had come to cause trouble, he felt that things were a bit complicated. He told Bai Tou Weng to go downstairs first, and then knocked on the door and went inside to report to Sheng Ge.

Sitting in the boss's chair, Chi Mengli was joking with Acong, Ji Mi and others. When he saw Xizai come in, he knew something had happened. He nodded to Xizai and told him to speak.

"Brother Sheng, the O-Division cops have come knocking on your door, wanting to take you back for a chat." Since they were all brothers, Xizai spoke his mind and told them about the trouble.

"Thugs are born to be ridiculed by the cops! Wolves eat sheep, soldiers eat thieves! There's no way around it!"

Chi Mengli stood up, put on her leather jacket, stuffed her cigarette case and Dupont lighter into her pockets, and said to Ji Mi, "Wo Luen Shing won't let this go! They'll definitely cause trouble!"

"Jimmy, you stay here and watch the show. Try not to make a move. We'll talk after I get out of the police station!"

"Brother A-Cong, go back and defend the stronghold!"

"Xi-zai, go and tell Xi-ren to tell Lawyer Shan to come and redeem me first thing tomorrow morning!"

"The breakfast in the jail is terrible; even a beggar wouldn't have an appetite for it!"

After giving a brief explanation, Chi Mengli left the office and went downstairs to meet the officers from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB).

Stepping outside, Chi Mengli saw the police officers from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) leading the team. Recognizing them as old acquaintances, Chi Mengli first nodded to Sister Goose, who was leaning against the car. Yau Ma Tei was under the jurisdiction of West Kowloon, and Sister Goose was the local deity of West Kowloon. It was best not to offend her if possible.

In business, harmony brings wealth!
"Peach Blossom Sir, you're getting more and more beautiful! Is there anything I can help you with? Just say the word, and I promise I'll go through fire and water for you, I'll definitely get it done!"

Chi Mengli asked the question knowing the answer already, deliberately trying to make Peach Blossom Girl laugh.

As he wished, Peach Blossom Girl couldn't hold back any longer after hearing Chi Mengli's words. Pretending to be confused is also an art. That's how gangsters are. They're stubborn as mules. Even when they're about to die, they still have to joke and chat.

"Brother Sheng, you're just asking a question you already know the answer to. With the huge plane you've set up in Temple Street, we don't even have time to go home for a family reunion dinner!"

"I think you're a straightforward person, Brother Sheng, so I won't bring the arrest warrant. I'll save face for you in front of your henchmen!"

Peach Blossom glanced at her watch. She was running late. Tonight was the family reunion dinner. Her eldest brother and sister-in-law had all rushed back from their ancestral home, and her parents and several sisters were all waiting for her at home.

"Sister Goose, Brother Dog just asked me to take Handsome Sheng back to headquarters, saying there's something he needs to verify. I'm really short on time, so could you please take Handsome Sheng to headquarters?"

"Please!"

"If you're not available, Sister Goose, just lock up Handsome Sheng in the West Kowloon Police Station. Brother Dog will send someone to take over."

There was simply no time to go back to Wan Chai, so Peach Girl had no choice but to ask her friend Goose Sister for help.

Goose Sister was already heading back to her villa in Repulse Bay, so she could conveniently take Handsome Sheng back to the Wan Chai headquarters. She looked at Handsome Sheng and asked, "Brother Sheng, do you mind if I ride in my car to the jail?"

"If you mind, you can ride in your own car, but if you try to escape, you'll definitely be on the wanted list and the Shanghai Arrest Warrant will be issued. I guarantee you're finished!"

Chi Mengli didn't let Xizai drive. Instead, he walked to Sister Goose's side and took the passenger seat in her car, acting nothing like a gangster who had been tricked by the cops.

Sister Goose stuffed the handcuffs she had taken out back into her car, told the men to pack up and go home or go on duty, and then got into her car and started her car.

"Sister Goose, you won't mind if I have a cigarette, will you?"

Chi Mengli fastened her seatbelt, took out her cigarette case and Dupont lighter, and suddenly realized that this was not her car, so she had to ask the owner for his opinion.

"Whatever! Just roll down the window!"

Sister Goose drove the car onto the driveway and headed towards the Wan Chai headquarters, muttering to herself.

"Thank you!"

Chi Mengli thanked him, opened the cigarette pack, picked out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it with a Dupont lighter, rolled down the car window, and looked at the scenery outside.

I'll never be your beast of burden!

My back is broad, but it's a hurting pain.

All I want is for you to show me your love!

"."

The Rolling Stones' "Beast of Burden" was playing on the radio, and Chi Mengli was smoking a cigarette while humming the lyrics.

The driver paused for a moment. In Hong Kong, primary and secondary schools are taught in English, which is very ineffective and has increased Hong Kong's illiteracy rate by several percentage points.

The reason is simple: primary and junior high schools in Hong Kong are free, but people in the timber shed area and public housing estates can't even afford to eat, so why would they go to a teacher for English tutoring?

Po Leung Kuk and Tung Wah Group of Hospitals protested for two or three years before the Chief Secretary amended the regulations to require Mandarin instruction and English to be learned from scratch. Most of the estate kids, like the one with the nickname "Handsome Sing," can only speak single words and very few can sing the entire English lyrics. Besides, it was a Rolling Stones single from last year, which many people in Hong Kong listened to, but no one played it in nightclubs.

This handsome guy is no ordinary person!

From small things, we can see big things. Sister Goose has been analyzing Handsome Winner, trying to understand his logic from this foolish behavior.

Behavioral analysis is now an important course in the CID. All frontline officers at the inspector level must retake the course, and those who fail to meet the standards cannot return to frontline duty.

Since everyone has to learn, Sister Goose is no exception; she's currently testing it on Handsome Sheng.

Chi Mengli flicked the cigarette butt away, turned her head to look at Sister Goose, and noticed that the old woman's eyes were darting around. She knew that this old woman must be up to no good.

But he didn't care. According to his plan, he had to go to the police station, preferably the Wan Chai headquarters. Only by going to the police station himself could he have a perfect alibi.

Therefore, he took the initiative to contact Guo Guohao, preparing to meet with Guo Sir.

Chi Mengli smiled, glanced at the clock on Sister Goose's car, and realized it was already past eleven o'clock. In ten minutes, this chaotic first day of the Lunar New Year would be over.

Spinach Dong was unaware that Wenmingli had already recovered what it had lost. He watched as the last snake box was loaded into the refrigerated truck, turned around, and said helplessly, "Brother Tsingtao, you're such a miser. You only have three trucks for a business worth tens of millions."

"You made over a dozen trips with these three trucks to finally get the goods delivered!"

"You're truly an immortal!"

Seeing the empty back compartment, Tsingtao Beer took the ballpoint pen off his ear, wrote a few lines in his notebook, then closed the calculator and complained, "We scrap collectors are all glamorous on the surface."

"All the profits went to the company name; I barely made enough to fill my stomach by selling a small portion of the oil."

"Furthermore, Brother Sheng instructed that all three vehicles should have the Tian Tian Fish Factory logo. It's the first day of the Lunar New Year now. Where am I supposed to find a modification shop? I had to go through a lot of connections to borrow three Tian Tian Fish Factory trucks."

"The bill has been settled, and I've already shipped the goods. I won't stay with you any longer, Brother Dong. I'm exhausted after a whole night, so I need to go to the bone farm to find a bone-cutter to relax my bones."

"Want to join us? Dong-ge, you've had a long day, and you've been out in the cold all night with me. I'll definitely arrange the whole thing to make you happy!"

Spinach Dong shook his head, indicating that he had other things to do and couldn't join Tsingtao Beer for a good time.

"See you later then!"

Now is a critical moment, and Tsingtao Brewery is an old hand at this. He put on a mask, donned the dock uniform he had prepared beforehand, put on a hat, and sneaked away through the back door.

Seeing that Tsingtao Beer had left, Spinach Dong walked over to Panda Boy's side. Seeing that no one was around, he said, "You won't be shortchanged by a single cent. Get ready to receive your seafood gift boxes!"

"There's no one guarding the main entrance. If you need anything, use the main entrance!"

"Bear with it, it'll be over soon! You hold on, I'm going out for a smoke!"

After saying that, Bo Cai Dong walked out the back door and headed towards the back of the container.

"Cousin! Cousin! I'm here!"

McCaw, who was lying on top of the container, lifted the black cloth covering his body, climbed up from the container, and called out to Spinach Dong, who was looking around aimlessly.

"Holy crap! Where did you get that black cloth?"

Jimmy, McCaw, and Spinach East are cousins, but they all fit the old saying, "A cousin is like a distant land."

However, in the Hong Kong Chinese community, blood ties come first. After becoming wealthy, one must help out relatives and friends through marriage. Similarly, if you fall on hard times, it is these same relatives and friends who will lend a helping hand.

Therefore, after Spinach East took over, he immediately introduced Ji Mi and gave him a chance to rise to power.

Similarly, Chi Mengli doesn't have many relatives or friends in Hong Kong. If the Chi family were large, Ji Mi wouldn't have risen to power so quickly. Good positions would definitely have been reserved for members of the Chi family.

"I bought it from a tailor shop. I even put a piece of black tape on the flash to make it less bright and avoid giving it away!"

McCaw didn't go to plant flags or make big shots today. His task today was to lie on the container and take pictures. He collected the photos he took, put them in a bag, and threw them to Spinach on the ground.

Spinach Dong took the bag, gave McCaw a thumbs up on the container, opened the bag, reached inside, and took out all the photos, looking at them one by one.

McCaw's photography skills are very basic, but it's usable!
Although the overall image is a bit blurry, the refrigerated truck at Tiantian Fish Farm is captured very clearly, along with the surrounding scenery, the "Fu" character on the lamppost, and even a photo that clearly shows the seal.

"OK! It all works! You can go now!"

Spinach Dong carefully put the photos away, then let McCaw leave and went home.

The container wasn't short, so McCaw lowered the ladder down, had his cousin Spinach hold it for support, and carefully climbed down until his feet touched the ground before letting out a sigh of relief.

"Don't tell anyone about this. Go tell Brother Sheng and make things clear!"

"Oh, right! Throw the black cloth and ladder far away, so no one can see them."

Spinach East patted McCaw on the shoulder, telling him to leave this troublesome place quickly.

McCaw, carrying the ladder and the black cloth, turned and left. After walking about 300 meters, he threw the black cloth and the ladder into a trash can and left through the side gate of Wan Chai Pier.

Seeing McCaw leave, Spinach East didn't go back to the cold storage. Instead, he went to the self-service phone booth, took out his phone book, flipped to the last page, took out a coin, put it into the coin slot, and dialed a long string of numbers.

"Which one?"

"We've solved all the difficult problems! We only have two hours left!"

Tsingtao Beer has wasted a lot of time, leaving the next group with only two hours. They have to act quickly. After saying this, Spinach Dong hung up the phone.

Cai Kaisheng, on the other end of the phone, finally received this crucial call. He breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't gone out partying or to the Governor's Mansion's New Year's ball that night, just waiting for this call.

He looked at Dan Sijie sitting opposite him, coughed, and said, "Of Chi Sheng's two options, I choose the last one. I'll take it all and buy it out in one go."

"I'll help with the Hang Seng Bank loan of 20 million by providing a guarantee and postponing the repayment date. As for the remaining 20 million, give me three days and I'll transfer it to the account designated by Mr. Chi."

"The replacement products will enter the Riri Fresh warehouse tomorrow. The first batch of 5,000 bird's nest canned gift boxes will be placed on the shelves on time."

Cai Kaisheng actually preferred Plan A, but such a risky decision definitely required his father's approval. After listening to his father's advice, his father thought about it for a long time and then chose Plan B, which is the option Cai Kaisheng has now chosen.

But what the father said was very true. He said that the Wen family wanted to climb up the social ladder, but there were few positions available, and everyone there was a ruthless character who would devour people without spitting out the bones. The Wen family's foundation was not solid, and problems were bound to arise.

Even if it's not the handsome guy who wins, someone else will step up.

But Handsome Sheng is walking a tightrope. If the Wen family doesn't die, Handsome Sheng will be the first to die. Choosing option A means going along with the corrupt practices and sharing the burden.

We don't know each other's backgrounds, and we've never cooperated before, so there's no reason for us to be tied to the same chariot.

Handsome Sheng is fighting tooth and nail with the Wen family, which has nothing to do with the Cai family. As for the dried sea cucumbers, they will be loaded onto a ship overnight and shipped to the whole of Southeast Asia, guaranteed to be gone without a trace!
The single-thread knot nodded, indicating that it understood.

Upon seeing the woman in front nod, Cai Kaisheng immediately picked up the phone and called the paging service to instruct the workers in the convoy waiting at Wan Chai Pier to get to work.

These people are all old relatives of the Cai family, and they are all related to the Cai family. They are very tight-lipped and will definitely not leak any information.

Upon receiving the order, the convoy immediately sprang into action, driving to the back door of Warehouse No. 15. Spinach East and Panda Boy pushed open the back door, allowing the workers to get to work.

The Cai family's old workers are all skilled workers. They use the forklifts in warehouse number 15 to transport boxes of goods into refrigerated trucks. Once a truck is full, it drives away.

Actually, it wasn't just about loading; they also unloaded things. A dozen bags of seashells, two bags of snake bones, and a well-preserved half of a tiger skeleton were all scattered around.

In less than two hours, the warehouse was emptied of its goods.

Spinach Dong then smashed the fire bottles he had prepared in advance all over the warehouse. After finishing the preparations, he quickly left with Panda Boy.
