Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 612, Section 202: Hidden Dangers

Guo Guohao was still awake. He was dancing ballroom dance with his wife. The two of them were dancing gracefully to the cheerful melody of "Dancing Queen" playing from the stereo.

The two met at the Cambridge New Year's Ballroom Dance. Both were passionate about dance and danced all night long. They eventually fell in love through dance and naturally became a couple.

After dancing for two whole hours, Guo Guohao was completely exhausted. He sat in a chair, panting heavily, his dance costume soaked with sweat.

Madam Guo still had inexhaustible energy. She stood on the carpet and began to dance a solo, preparing to metabolize all the desserts she had eaten that evening.

"Ring ring ring"

The antique-style landline phone on the bookshelf emitted a piercing ringtone.

Guo Guohao really didn't want to answer the phone, and in fact, he couldn't, because he no longer had the strength to stand up again.

The energetic Mrs. Guo glanced at her own weakling. When he was young, he could jump around for three or four hours straight and still be able to bounce around. She never expected that after becoming a policeman, he would be completely useless.

The landline kept ringing, so she had to turn off the stereo, turn around in a series of quick movements, go to the landline, grab the whole phone, and stand in front of Guo Guohao.

"My dear, I don't know how to thank you enough!"

Guo Guohao kissed his wife, then picked up the phone, wondering who was calling him at such an insidious time.

"Guo Sir, Wen Tianchuan has confessed. He said that Wen Tianxin put the goods in warehouse number 15. Guan Lou has now obtained some key evidence, including photos of Hei Ahu meeting with Wen Tianxin and the delivery of the goods."

"I heard it was obtained by Guan Lou's informant, and the chain of evidence is very strong!"

Peach Blossom Girl on the other end of the phone finished speaking in one breath, then took out her cigarette case, put a cigarette in her mouth, leaned against the wall, looked at the wall clock, and waited for her boss's orders.

Peach Blossom Girl's life is very comfortable; she's pampered at home and doted on by her friends!
But Guo Guohao, who also came from a prominent family, immediately realized that it was all too coincidental. Wen Tianchuan had just made his identification of Wen Tianxin, and then, coincidentally, new evidence appeared, pointing to Wen Tianxin as the mastermind.

Someone wants Wen Tianxin dead! It's very likely that it's Wen's wife! If they kill the boss, the youngest brother can take over.

However, the youngest son has chosen the eldest son, which has ruined his reputation. Unless Wen Hailiang is too old and blind, he will definitely not choose the youngest son as his successor.

unless!

Exhausted, Guo Guohao's mind was still working, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

Unless Wen Hailiang was the mastermind behind it all, and he agreed to do business with the Number Gang and the Nanmen Group, and after the incident, Old Master Wen threw his youngest son out to take the blame to protect his eldest son.

Based on his years of experience living in a wealthy family, Guo Guohao quickly pieced together the truth.

The Guo family is used to smearing their heirs, after all, the two Guo brothers went to Southeast Asia in 1900 and struggled to survive in the Malaysian rubber plantations where the mortality rate was as high as 100%.

Then he went to Australia to open a fruit market, and then to the first Chinese-owned department store in Shanghai.

The two branches of the Guo family fought tooth and nail for Wing On Department Store, Wing On Bank, Wing On Fleet, Wing On Rubber Company, Wing On Tobacco Company, and Wing On Petroleum Company—a battle more dramatic than any spy drama.

Having been taught by example, Guo Guohao had long since developed a keen eye for detail; he could see through the intricacies of the situation at a glance. Since the Wen family was fighting amongst themselves, he could reap the benefits!
No one has yet taken responsibility for the HSBC airport robbery. According to the records, at least HK$40 million worth of gold bulls were found at the Wan Chai pier.

Based on face value, there are only 40,000 of them, less than one-tenth.

This batch of cash cows, which caused a huge uproar upon its release, actually appeared in the Wen family's dock warehouse. If it were ten years ago, HSBC would have thrown the entire Wen family into jail immediately.

That very night, it will be delivered to Shark Pastry Shop, sending the entire Wen family to the underworld.

Over the past decade, HSBC has changed its style considerably, abandoning all the practices of the East India Company. This has led newcomers to the business world to believe that HSBC, along with Jardine Matheson, Standard Chartered, and Swire, are benevolent and virtuous.

What have been the reactions from the Department of Justice and the Kwan Loong administration?

Guo Guohao sneered inwardly. Since the Wen family thought they could compete with HSBC, he would grant their wish and let them see what HSBC was capable of.

"Guan Lou only provided evidence. Chief Justice Ge Wei has already gone into hiding. It seems he is communicating with Chief Justice Guan Lou. Secretary Ye from the Department of Justice also made an excuse to leave, probably to discuss something with someone."

"But it's so late, and he's just a secretary. He wouldn't dare disturb the prosecutor's rest, let alone communicate with the Chief Justice."

Peach Blossom Girl felt a little sorry for Secretary Ye. Although he was just an observer, he represented the Department of Justice. Without the Department of Justice's approval, neither the customs officers nor the police would take any action.

“Secretary Ye is just a figurehead. Shapison is very dissatisfied because the Taikoo Wharf case has been unresolved for a long time. It went from a major achievement to a dead case. No one would be willing to accept that!”

Since the evidence is conclusive, there's no need to hesitate!
The corrupt officials dared not arrest the unscrupulous people, but the police did!

The cases that Guan Lou dared not investigate, the police will investigate!
Guo Guohao loves to make a name for himself when there's no real danger, especially since the Wen family is now a stagnant force!
Catching the fish alive and beating the drowning dog is so much fun!
"I'll notify people right now to start setting up surveillance and monitoring Wen Tianxin 24 hours a day. The guys from the Criminal Intelligence Division will help out!"

"I will send people to monitor customs, yacht clubs, airports, and ferries. This time, I will lay a trap to ensnare Wen Tianxin!"

"Don't tell anyone that you're working on the Wanchai Ferry case, while we're handling the Taikoo Ferry pork contraband case. They're completely unrelated. But tonight, you need to solidify the evidence and use the Wanchai Ferry case to handcuff Wen Tianxin."

"Now Black Tiger is nowhere to be found, and all his cronies have disappeared. We can't get any information out of him. The only thing we can do is use the Wan Chai Ferry Pier case to keep him under control."

"You prepare the evidence, make sure it's accurate. Tomorrow morning, I'll go see the magistrate and get the arrest warrant sorted out. We'll take action no later than eight o'clock!"

"Wen Tianxin's wife is Sir Zhou's granddaughter. She has an excellent sense of smell, so don't let her detect anything amiss!"

"But it's nighttime now, even night owls need to rest and sleep, so it's like God is helping us out!"

After Guo Guohao finished speaking, he hung up the phone, but after thinking for a moment, he immediately picked up the receiver again and called back the Wan Chai headquarters.

Just as he expected, Bai Fengxian didn't go home; she was on night shift. He then informed Bai Fengxian of the news and asked her to do her work.

Shapison had said that matters concerning the joint investigation team should be reported directly to him, and Guo Guohao certainly wouldn't break the rules.
