Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 630, Section 220: Terrifying Collectibles

When they arrived at the Wen family mansion on Baoma Mountain, it was just getting light. Ding Gou pushed open the car door, got out of the car, and looked at the Wen family's imposing cast iron gate, which was over three meters high, and sighed inwardly.

Whether they are police officers or gangsters, they all know one thing: never offend your boss.

If you anger your boss, even a small amount of money can make you miserable for the rest of your life.

However, since his superior had already given the order and the search warrant had been obtained, Ding Gou had no choice but to bite the bullet and go through with it, even if he was unwilling.

The uniformed men knocked on the door and rang the doorbell. The Wen family's gatekeeper quickly came out, and after understanding the situation, notified the eldest daughter-in-law who was in charge of the household.

Now that things had come to this, the Wen family cooperated fully. The doorman opened the gate and asked the O-Division officers to drive the car into the courtyard. Braemar Hill was home to many Shanghai tycoons, and the Wen family couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Ding Gou already knew that Wen Hailiang was dead and the rest of the Wen family was safe. He cooperated and had his men drive the car into the courtyard.

If we can't crush the Wen family all at once, then we should take a step back and let everyone save face.

The gatekeeper of the Wen family walked up to Ding Gou and said, "Sir, our young mistress invites you in."

The Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB) had already thoroughly investigated the Wen family's background. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family was Zhou Miaoyun, the granddaughter of Sir Zhou, the fifth son of Sir Zhou, who was the Chief Superintendent, the second deputy commander of the Kowloon District, in charge of personnel and finance, and the financial magistrate of Kowloon District.

Disrespecting the Wen family is fine, because the Wen family is now trying to keep a low profile. But if I don't give face to the Zhou family, I might as well quit being a policeman.

"it is good!"

To maintain his composure, Ding Gou didn't say much. He simply led a few of his men and followed the gatekeeper into the main building of the Wen family mansion.

Zhou Miaoyun must have received news of Wen Hailiang's death. She was wearing a black cheongsam, with no makeup or jewelry on her face, and sat in a daze on the main seat of the sofa.

On the other side of the sofa sat Attorney Zhuang and the lawyers sent by the Zhou family, busy with their paperwork.

"Mrs. Wen, I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning!"

"We officers have no choice. A single word from the Department of Justice is enough to make us run ourselves ragged. Please bear with us!"

"Sirs, this is a search warrant issued by the Department of Justice, with the signature of the Chief Justice and the Chinese Chief Prosecutor."

Ding Gou pulled out the search warrant, handed it to Zhuang Lu who had stood up, and explained it to Zhou Miaoyun.

"One who receives the emperor's bounty must serve the emperor faithfully! This is understandable."

"Xiao Cui, have the kitchen send over a few pots of hot milk tea so the officers can warm themselves up!"

"Lawyer Zhuang!"

Zhou Miaoyun looked at Zhuang Lu, wanting to hear the opinion of this lawyer who had served the Wen family for many years.

After carefully reviewing the search warrant in his hand, Attorney Zhuang felt a bit of a headache. There was no way to stop this kind of search warrant unless he didn't want to work in Hong Kong anymore. He handed the search warrant over to the lawyer sent by the Zhou family.

The Zhou family lawyer also looked at the case, but seeing that there was nothing he could do, he shook his head at Zhou Miaoyun.

Zhou Miaoyun seemed not to have noticed the Zhou family lawyer's reminder, and continued to ask, "Attorney Zhuang!"

This solemn remark was filled with warning.

Either you step forward and sacrifice your career to step in, or you admit your incompetence and say you are powerless. Zhou Miaoyun can then take this opportunity to eliminate him and get rid of this lawyer whom her father-in-law relies on.

In less than a second, Zhuang Lu had already decided on his choice and answer regarding his career and the Wen family as a major client.

"Mrs. Wen, this is a search warrant from the Department of Justice. You'd better cooperate!"

After Zhuang finished speaking, he sat back down on the sofa without saying a word. He knew he was out of the game.

"Since the procedures are in order, I have nothing more to say. There are many confidential business documents in the safe. I can send a lawyer to accompany you officers on your investigation."

Zhou Miaoyun was too lazy to chat with these low-level cops. She needed to go back to her room to get some sleep first, and then call Fu Wenpei to ask her to come back and take charge.

With the death of Wen Hailiang, the head of the Wen family, there must be undercurrents in each branch of the family. According to Lawyer Zhuang, the father-in-law has already made a will and chosen a new person to take charge. This has nothing to do with her. Whoever takes over will have to pay more than 300 million to Yihe Insurance.

Handsome Sheng had already planned everything out. Apart from himself and Fu Wenpei stepping forward, anyone else who did would be doomed.

"Get to work! Search every room, including the servants' quarters, the garage, and the cars."

"Everyone be smart, don't miss any details!"

After giving the order, Ding Gou walked out of the main building of the Wen family mansion and drank the hot black tea provided by the Wen family's kitchen. The black tea was sweetened and milked. One cup was refreshing and invigorating, and two cups would make you feel refreshed.

Two teams of uniformed officers, one team of O-Division agents, and one team of evidence specialists began their operation, searching the main building of the Wen family mansion from top to bottom.

After finishing his hot black tea, Ding Gou placed the cup on a tray and walked towards the back garage.

Upon reaching the garage door, the Wen family's workers raised the garage's roller shutter door.

More than a dozen luxury cars appeared before Ding Gou and his men, and everyone gasped in shock.

"Holy crap! They're all world-class luxury cars. All of these cars together are worth at least 30 to 40 million."

The lobster behind the nail dog was also stunned by the dozen or so luxury cars in front of it, so shocked that it couldn't close its mouth.

"Some starve to death, others stuff themselves to death! That's Hong Kong!"

Seeing that Lobster looked like he'd never seen anything like it, Ding Gou helplessly explained that he asked the Wen family servant who managed the garage to bring out all the car keys so he could check each trunk.

"Officer, the car keys are all in the ignition, and the trunk isn't locked!"

To make it easier for the gentlemen to drive, the car keys are all inserted into the ignition, and not only are the car keys inserted, but the gas tanks are also full.

The Wen family servant gave a reminder, then walked to the back of a Rolls-Royce convertible, pressed the trunk button, and opened the rear door.

Ding Gou also learned something new. His own Chevrolet requires a key to open, but the trunks of these luxury sports cars can be opened with the push of a button. It's amazing!
After learning how to open the trunk of a sports car, the O-Division agents got to work. They all put on rubber gloves and began inspecting the Wen family's luxury cars, looking for evidence.

They inspected each car meticulously, checking everything from under the seats to the spare tire compartment in the trunk—nowhere was overlooked.

Ding Gou also took the opportunity to grope, walking over to his favorite sports car for inspection. He examined it more thoroughly, opening the hood to look at the top-of-the-line six-cylinder engine, and then sitting in the leather seats to feel the texture of the finest calfskin.

So cool!
"Hey, I've found something!"

The lobster shouted, interrupting the dog's attempt to take advantage of the situation, and told its boss to come over quickly.

"Push to the street!"

"You always interrupt me at crucial moments!"

"I'll attack your mother!"

Ding Gou slapped the steering wheel, got out of the car, and walked irritably to the lobster's side.

At the bottom of the spare tire compartment in the trunk, there were two small transparent repackage bags filled with green and yellow leaves.

One look at the shape and color of the leaves, and Ding Gou knew immediately: these were leaves. It seemed the Wen family had a pilot (a guy who played with leaves). He picked up the two transparent bags, smelled them, and confirmed the scent was right—these were leaves. "Pack them up! These two bags of leaves weigh less than a hundred grams! They won't be enough to arrest anyone!"

"But let's make a record of it, so we don't get scolded by Inspector Guo for not achieving anything!"

The dog tossed two bags of leaves to the evidence team members, instructing them to put the evidence into evidence bags.

The lawyer from the Zhou family, who was standing to the side, wanted to speak, but he held back. The Wen family was in dire straits, and the entire judicial system was watching them closely. No one would do them any favors.

However, the two small bags of leaves weighed less than 100 grams in total, so no bail was required.

The officers continued their search, leaving no corner unchecked, until they finally arrived at the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur where Wen Hailiang usually sat.

This was the last one, and Ding Gou lowered his guard. He told his men to get to work quickly so they could pack up and go home. Even a fool wouldn't hide the stolen goods in his car!

The main building of the Wen family mansion has been inspected, and apart from finding a pile of silver notes, nothing amiss was found.

As one of the most prominent Chinese tycoons, it's not a problem for the Wen family to have three to five million in their safe. If they didn't have that much, they might even be ridiculed for their family's decline.

But just when everything was about to be completed, an unexpected incident occurred.

Lobster opened the trunk of the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur, and a strong smell of formaldehyde wafted out.

All the police officers present had taken anatomy classes in Wong Chuk Hang and knew what formaldehyde tasted like.

If Wen Hailiang doesn't like pickled chicken feet, then there must be something wrong with the trunk.

The previously listless lobster immediately perked up, fixing its gaze on the source of the formaldehyde smell.

This is a black leather handbag! The strong smell of formaldehyde is emanating from this leather handbag.

The lobster took a step back, letting the professionals from the evidence team step in.

The evidence team quickly took out a plastic sheet they were carrying, laid it on the ground, and carefully placed the leather handbag on the plastic sheet. The leather handbag was quite heavy.

The evidence team unzipped the leather handbag, revealing the source of the odor inside in broad daylight.

This is a sealed glass tank filled with formalin. As we all know, something is usually soaked in formalin, either a corpse or chopped chicken feet.

Luckily, this time it was a corpse, not a chicken foot with chopped peppers.

The jar wasn't big enough to hold the entire body, so the evidence team carefully righted it.

Black Tiger, who died with his eyes wide open, stared blankly at the cop in front of him.

"Holy crap! I'll fuck your mother! The tabloids all say that rich guys and rich kids are all perverts, and I didn't expect it to be true! Keeping a soaked human head in the trunk, aren't you afraid of having nightmares and not being able to sleep at night?"

Ding Gou felt a tickle in his throat and a bit nauseous, but he held back. His men were all around him, and he couldn't afford to lose face here.

I've seen cadavers before, so I need to stay calm!
However, Black Tiger is really having a run of bad luck! He's on a roll! He was doing really well with Handsome Sheng, and they were about to open their own branch, but suddenly he started causing trouble and wanted to switch sides with Wo Luen Shing.

It's understandable to want your boss to switch jobs; it's human nature. People will flock to places where the money is plentiful.

It's a bit outrageous that it could become a souvenir for the boss!

It's clear this is true love; wherever Wen Hailiang goes, he takes Hei A Hu with him everywhere.

The Zhou family lawyer had no idea that there was such a shocking bombshell hidden at the end. He wasn't involved in the underworld, nor did he do business with underworld organizations, so he didn't know who was inside the glass jar.

But no matter who's inside the jar, the Raven family can't withstand it.

Wen Tianchuan, who was kicked by Mo Lao, suffered a broken rib. After waking up, he kept groaning in pain. Liu Wenfeng had no choice but to call an ambulance and send Wen Tianchuan to the Sanatorium & Hospital.

After taking the person to the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, Liu Wenfeng had Wen Tianchuan sign a document of acquittal and then left.

Upon receiving the news, Fu Wenpei and Zhang Manxin immediately went to the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital to see the injured Wen Tianchuan.

When Wen Tianchuan learned that his father, Wen Hailiang, had passed away, he immediately fell silent. He had very complicated feelings about his father. His father had sent someone to kill him, which made him hate him to the core, but the father-son relationship of so many years could not be erased on the spot.

Humans are complex beings, and emotions cannot be simply categorized as A or B.

“Mommy! I don’t want to stay in Hong Kong anymore. After this incident, I think my engagement should be called off. I’ve always considered Li Mushroom a friend. When it comes to relationships, it’s not enough to just get along. Li Mushroom and I can’t go that far.”

"The Li family wouldn't want a son-in-law covered in mud!"

“I want to go somewhere where people don’t know about my past. Australia would be a good choice. My English is good, and my medical license is recognized in Australia. I want to open a clinic in Australia.”

“Manxin, I am very grateful to you, but your career is going well, there is no need for you to come to Australia with me to endure this hardship. I will wait for you until you no longer want to work in the entertainment industry, then come to Melbourne to find me.”

After a long silence, Wen Tianchuan finally spoke his mind.

Having experienced a whole host of conspiracies and schemes, Fu Wenpei also strongly agreed with her son going to Australia to start anew with drumming. Hong Kong is a place of trouble and controversy, and as long as Wen Tianchuan is around, the paparazzi will keep bringing up the matter and spreading rumors.

"Yes, as long as you're safe and sound, Mommy will approve of whatever you do!"

Fu Wenpei nodded in agreement. The Wen family's troubles were not over yet, and there were still big storms to come.

Handsome Sheng is full of schemes and is very likely to continue to make trouble for Tin Chuen-zai. Just in case, it would be a good choice to send Tin Chuen-zai to Australia in the next few days.

If you can get away from it, then get away from it. Less trouble is better than anything else.

Zhang Manxin was indeed reluctant to give up Wen Tianchuan. The two had been secretly dating for a long time and had developed feelings for each other. However, she was also reluctant to give up her current position as the host of AKB boxing matches. Even TVB's top host, Liza Wang, had to play a supporting role for her, which shows how popular she was.

"It seems we'll have to part ways for now! I'll come to Melbourne to see you as soon as I have time."

Career is more important than men. Anyone with eyes can see that the Wen family has already fallen! Even if the Wen family hadn't fallen, Wen Tianchuan would never be the same as before, no longer the dashing fourth young master of the Wen family.

Zhang Manxin dared not entrust her future to a man. Having been in the entertainment industry for a long time, she knew that men were the most unreliable people.

You have to fight for your own future!

With Fu Wenpei's consent, Wen Tianchuan received basic treatment at the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital and then took a flight to Melbourne, Australia that evening.

Following Wen Hailiang's instructions before the accident, Zhou Miaoyun directly sent a notification letter to Yihe Insurance, confirming that Tiantian Fish Farm Company had breached the contract and was unable to pay compensation.

Jardine Matheson Insurance, following regulations, applied to the Chief Executive for an asset freeze order, freezing all assets under the names of the major shareholders of Tian Tian Fish Farm, and determining that Tian Tian Fish Farm was unable to pay compensation, thus initiating the claims process.

The internal procedures of large companies are very complicated. Even with Xia Jiade's help, it still took three working days. Three days later, the compensation check for 370 million yuan arrived in Chi Mengli's hands.

Looking at the special check, which was even bigger than a cutting board, Chi Mengli felt a pang of emotion. She was just a passerby in the money, because according to the agreement, every penny of this amount had to be deposited into the Xiangjiang Club to buy cheap bonds issued by Xiangjiang Land.

"Chi Sheng, you've done a brilliant job. Everyone in Hong Kong is speculating that the trouble in the Wen family this time is due to a power struggle between husband and wife, father and son turning against each other, and brothers fighting amongst themselves! Only those in the know understand that all of this was orchestrated by you, Chi Sheng!"

If I deposit these 370 million into Hong Kong Club, I'll meet my performance target for this year!
Xia Jiade picked up his wine glass, took a sip of the King of Wines, and sighed with delight.

Chi Mengli toasted Xia Jiade with tea instead of wine, as a small celebration.
