Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 627, Section 217: Desperate Measures

Wen Hailiang didn't trust Fu Wenpei or Zhou Miaoyun, but he had to arrange for Fu Wenpei and Zhou Miaoyun to take control of the power because his two sons and one daughter were completely detached from the eldest son's family and had never gained experience in the Wen family's company.

Even if they hold great power, they can be sidelined and become puppets.

Fu Wenpei became the chairman, Zhou Miaoyun became the head of the household, and the remaining two sons became supervisors, joined the company, became directors, and gradually became familiar with the company's business.

In a short period of time, Wen Hailiang had figured out the future structure of the Wen family.

Wen Tianxiang is timid and cowardly, while Wen Tianhuo is impatient and eager for quick success. Being timid and cowardly is not a flaw. The Wen family was exploited during their attack, and at this time, they needed a ruler who could maintain the status quo and lead the Wen family out of the predicament.

Therefore, Wen Tianxiang was the successor chosen by Wen Hailiang.

As for the children of Wen Tianxin, the traitor in the family, they should also be recognized as members of the Wen family and raised by Fu Wenpei. In this way, Fu Wenpei will also have a weapon to control Zhou Miaoyun.

Zhou Miaoyun and Fu Wenpei will never be of one mind, nor can they be. Once Wen Tianxiang has established himself, he can use the title and shares of the Wen family's eldest branch to exercise power.

Hearing her father-in-law's arrangement, Zhou Miaoyun nodded. She didn't have much contact with the other branches of the Wen family, and it would take three to five years to resolve the issue. Fu Wenpei had to step in, since she was the one who had mediated the interests of all parties in the Wen family over the years.

Everything in the Wen family's eldest branch belongs to the eldest grandson of the Wen family in her womb; no one can take it away from her.

Seeing that Zhou Miaoyun had agreed, Wen Hailiang told her to leave. He asked the maid to prepare some food, as a tough battle was coming up and they would be hungry.
Now they all use gas stoves, not wood-burning stoves. When the cook heard that the master had woken up and wanted a late-night snack, he quickly made a small pot of wontons and prepared four side dishes.

The wontons were prepared a day in advance, and the four side dishes were also very simple. Several tea snacks were also prepared in advance and served.

The shrimp wontons tasted great, and with the seaweed, they were so fresh they made your eyebrows fall off – something you couldn't find at street stalls. But despite the deliciousness, Wen Hailiang had no appetite. He only ate a small bowl, two shrimp dumplings, and a couple of bites of leafy greens.

After finishing his business, Wen Quan returned to the collection room and stood aside, serving Wen Hailiang his meal. Only after the master put down his chopsticks did he speak, saying, "Xia Zai has arrived at Taikoo Wharf."

“He sent me a text message saying that the area around Taikoo Wharf was calm and there were no cops or customs officers.”

Wen Hai nodded without saying a word. He picked up a napkin from the table, wiped the grease off his mouth, and then slowly said, "I've prepared the documents. You can leave now and deliver them to Attorney Zhuang's law firm. You know the place; Attorney Zhuang is waiting for you there."

Following the direction the old man was pointing, Wen Quan saw a pile of file bags with sealed strips. He quickly grabbed the file bags and left without saying a word.

The bodyguard stood at the main entrance and went into the collection room after seeing the butler leave.

"You go and keep an eye on things; this is none of your business! If Wen Quan shows any disloyalty, kill him!"

Even his own son could betray the family and become a double agent. Wen Hailiang doesn't trust anyone now, so he must have a backup plan. If the will and documents reach Lawyer Zhuang's hands, the Wen family can continue.

The bodyguard was not a man of many words; he nodded and turned to leave.

After everything was settled, Wen Hailiang stood up, picked up the Western-style top hat from the famille rose vase from the Qianlong era, put it on his head, walked to the treasure pavilion, pressed a hidden switch, and a hidden compartment popped out from the top of the treasure pavilion's decoration.

He reached into the hidden compartment, took out a red cloth bundle, opened it, and revealed a lion's nose.

This lion-nose sword has been with Wen Hailiang for many years, and it has helped him get through countless life-or-death situations.

Hopefully, this old buddy of mine can help me get through this difficult time!
The wind howls, the Yi River is cold; the hero departs, never to return!
Wen Hailiang threw the red cloth onto the sofa, put the lion's nose into the pocket of his long robe, and went downstairs.

The driver was already waiting downstairs, and both cars were parked at the main entrance of the building.

"Don't drive my usual Rolls-Royce, and this Bentley is too flashy. Drive the Chevrolet I use for grocery shopping. Tonight, we need to keep a low profile and not be ostentatious."

Wen Hailiang frowned as he looked at his Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, blaming the driver for driving such a ostentatious car.

"I know, sir, I'll go change it right now!"

The driver took the cash box from the back seat, placed it in front of Wen Hailiang's feet, then jogged away to the garage to get his Chevrolet sedan, which he used for grocery shopping. He quickly drove the car to Wen Hailiang.

With time running out and the task at hand, now was not the time to put on airs. Wen Hailiang opened the back door of the car himself, picked up the money box, and got in, then told the driver to take him to Taikoo Wharf.

The journey was uneventful, but Wen Hailiang, sitting in the back seat, was a little uneasy. In the money box beside him was two million Hong Kong dollars, which he intended to use to bribe Sadangdan to do him a favor.

If Saddam Hussein knows, it means that the Department of Justice, the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau are all aware of the situation. Even if he destroys the evidence, he will still have to go to the Department of Justice and the court.

Tianxinzai knows too many of my secrets; the insider trading alone is enough to give me a run for my money.

Wen Hailiang is not afraid of going to jail because money can make the devil turn the millstone. Spending one or two million to get the prison doctor to grant him medical treatment outside the law is a very simple matter. All he needs to do is donate some money to the Department of Justice, and the Department of Justice will help him get it done.

Just as Wen Hailiang was lost in thought, the driver had already driven the car to the entrance of Taikoo Wharf.

Upon seeing a car arrive, Xia Zai, who was sitting in the car, quickly got out, stood at the gate, looked into the car, and saw that Wen Hailiang was sitting in it, so he waved.

"parking!"

Wen Hailiang also saw Xia Zai, so he ordered the driver to stop the car. Once the car was completely stopped, he picked up the cash box, opened the car door, and walked over to Xia Zai. "Uncle Wen!"

"Everyone has arrived, and everything is prepared according to your requirements!"

"Everything is fine!"

Xia Zai took the money box from Wen Hailiang and explained the situation.

"Excellent! Very sharp! Have someone guard the warehouse and not let anyone in."

"Once this is settled, I'll give my brothers a million to reward them!"

Wen Hailiang is now paving the way with money, since he's about to commit murder and arson, and he needs to reassure people.

"Thank you, Uncle Wen. I'll have someone do it right away."

Xia Zai told his henchmen to squat at the entrance of the Wen family warehouse to be on guard against any mischief.

"wait for me here!"

Wen Hailiang got directly into Xia Zai's car and instructed his driver to wait for him at the entrance of Taikoo Wharf.

Xia Zai whistled loudly, and the henchmen squatting by the roadside got into a pickup truck. Seeing that his brothers were all in the truck, Xia Zai also carried his suitcase and sat in the passenger seat.

The two cars drove directly into Taikoo Wharf. Inside the guardhouse, an old man was sleeping. The electronic barrier was raised, and Taikoo Wharf was undefended at that moment.

The car drove directly to the front of the Wen family warehouse. Xia Zai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, found that all the henchmen he had sent out were squatting in front of the warehouse door with their hands behind their heads.

Several men dressed in customs officer uniforms were holding guns and keeping an eye on their henchmen.

"Uncle Wen, something's not right!"

"Should we leave?"

Xia Zai first gave the driver a look, signaling him to slow down, then turned to look at Wen Hailiang in the back seat, waiting for his boss's orders.

Wen Hailiang also sensed something was wrong, but when he saw that it was Huapao standing in front of the warehouse gate, he felt relieved and said, "Don't be afraid! We're on the same side."

Hearing Wen Hailiang's words, Xia Zai was still a little uneasy. He had weapons in the car and on his body. If he were caught by these plainclothes customs officers, he would definitely go to jail.

But the boss had already given the order, so he had no choice but to obey and let the driver continue.

The car stopped in front of the warehouse. Wen Hailiang got out first and walked up to Huapao: "Sasheng wants to see me, where is he?"

"Wen Sheng, I didn't know this was your man. I'm so sorry for offending you!"

Huapao waved to his men, signaling them to release the man, then said to Wen Hailiang, "Mr. Wen, the officer is waiting for you in the warehouse. He said only you can go in."

"Please, don't make things difficult for us who are just doing the work!"

"But don't worry, with me here, your safety will be guaranteed!"

Wen Hailiang glanced at the open warehouse door and saw that there was light inside. He hesitated for a moment, but if he couldn't deal with Sadangdan, the evidence in the warehouse would not be cleared away, and in the end, the blame would still fall on his head, and he would still die.

That scoundrel Hei A-hu is utterly useless, more trouble than he's worth! That good-for-nothing hasn't accomplished a single thing.

Going in could mean death!
If you don't go in, you'll die!

On the surface it's one path, but in reality it's two. Wen Hailiang has no choice but to go down one path to the bitter end.

"Shrimp boy, I'll only be inside for five minutes. If I haven't come out by then, you can make your move, snatch me out, and throw a fire bottle into the warehouse while you're at it."

"After this is done, I'll give you five million, and the previous one million will also count. As for how much you distribute to your men, I won't interfere!"

Wen Hailiang took off his watch and stuffed it into Xia Zai's hand: "This is a token. Once you get it to the Wen family, someone will count it for you!"

"Remember! If I don't come out when the time is up, throw a fire bottle!"

These pieces of evidence cannot fall into the hands of the police, otherwise neither I nor the Wen family will be able to recover. If the Department of Justice determines that the Wen family is a triad boss, all legitimate businesses in Hong Kong will be irrelevant to the Wen family from now on.

The Wen family was even worse off than the Li family! Because the Li family's steroid business was a legal business at the time, and they had a foreign license.
