Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 642, Section 232: Follow a Reliable Boss
A battle for life or death requires utmost caution!

Teacher Li nodded, took the vanilla ice cream that Maid No. 1 had bought, took a bite, and continued, "This time we need you to come along and show our potential partners what we're capable of."

"With the people from the water room getting involved, Song Sheng's friends need to think twice. After all, there are only two or three ways to launder money in Asia. Losing even one of them would be a huge loss!"

"The final destination is Keelung!"

"But this time it's Mumbai!"

Keelung! Oak International Pier! The Gelaohui (a secret society) within Kowloon Walled City!

Chi Mengli immediately realized what was happening and connected the key points in her mind.

"The Evergreen Group is quite powerful. Trying to undermine them could easily lead to problems!"

Chi Mengli felt that Teacher Li's actions were too risky. The Shui family was large and powerful, and it wouldn't be a big deal for them to have a little contact with the Changrong Group, because both sides knew that they would eventually sit down and talk things over.

Teacher Li and I combined are nothing more than pawns with some weight in the martial arts world. Once a pawn has crossed the river, it will be quickly eaten up without the protection of chariots, horses, and cannons.

“I really like the word ‘adventure.’ You and I are both nobody in the martial arts world, nobodys who are dispensable in Song Sheng’s eyes.”

"What we need to do is keep taking risks, win every step of the way, and win to the very end. Only in this way can we demonstrate our value. Now, many old fish are interested in you and are willing to give you a little bit of convenience without asking for anything in return."

Their chance of winning lies in fighting to the bitter end, willing to risk everything, and daring to dethrone the emperor. As long as Song Sheng's other competitors see that Song Sheng is not invincible, these evil spirits will take the initiative to tear Song Sheng apart.

The lower levels of the martial arts world are a paradise for adventurers, with many unconventional ways to make money, enough for newbies to live a comfortable life. But the upper levels of the martial arts world are different; the players at the top are a saturated market.

Small person, small appetite!
Big shot, big appetite!
Criminal syndicates are not like bachelors who can feed themselves and not worry about the rest of the family. The henchmen who keep the syndicate running and the heads of each business line all need massive amounts of money to keep them fed.

This world is made of matter, and every action will result in loss!
Chi Mengli nodded, understanding what Teacher Li meant, and indicated that he was willing to give it a try.

"Teacher Li, my informant gave me a videotape. In the videotape, you were very gentlemanly, helping a pregnant woman through the VIP security checkpoint. But unfortunately, your kindness was misplaced; this pregnant woman is a spies!"

"Using people to transport Miss Bai is, in my opinion, a losing proposition. Sea routes are much more convenient and can handle large volumes. Using people to transport goods is incredibly stupid!"

"But Teacher Li never does business at a loss. Later I found out that this pregnant woman with ulterior motives had some connection with me. This woman was one of the pieces of evidence that the cops put into my boss Robin's case."

"A woman who shouldn't be around anymore suddenly appears in Hong Kong. Even a fool would know there's something wrong here!"

"Teacher Li, we are now walking forward shoulder to shoulder, wading through a minefield, and we need to be honest with each other!"

Chi Mengli pressed the cigarette butt from her finger into the paper cup, patted her coat, and shook off the ash.

"She was a woman with a tragic fate. I was just helping her get out of this predicament sooner. Song Sheng and Robin's business is very big. The female piglets are just one part of it. These female piglets will be paired up and their blood samples will be taken."

"Those who are healthy will stay in Chinatown, while those who are weak will become the lowest of fish ball girls."

"This woman was able to return to Hong Kong from Honolulu because her blood type matched that of her client; she was the lucky one!"

Teacher Li still had a faint smile on his face. The sunlight shone on his face, making this hapless man look like a saint.

"Hiding in Kowloon Walled City is indeed a good idea. Medical equipment is not a controlled item, and as long as it is not a forced sale, the Department of Justice cannot interfere."

Xinglin Medical Clinic's business is quite ingenious. It rents out organs and has to pay huge rents every year. According to Chi Mengli, two clinics have already failed because their cash flow dried up and they couldn't pay the rent, so their organs were taken away.

Song Sheng's relationship with Xinglin Medical Clinic is definitely not ordinary, because according to Xiao Shandong's investigation, the docks owned by these two unlucky guys who couldn't pay the rent all belonged to Song Sheng.

"Evergreen Group has tens of thousands of employees, as well as thousands of 'Pao Ge' (a local group of people who support Evergreen Group). With so many people, there are many voices and opinions."

"Song Sheng was able to connect with the Evergreen Group because of the big brother who was treating patients in the Xinglin Medical Clinic. Without this big brother's protection, Song Sheng's connection with the Evergreen Group was over."

"This senior member of the Gelaohui (a secret society) has a high status in the underworld and is very influential in Taiwan. After all, the KMT (Kuomintang) is based on underworld figures."

Teacher Li explained all the twists and turns clearly, making Chi Mengli understand the mystery behind it.

In fact, Teacher Li's strategy was very simple: to cause trouble for Song Sheng, so that Song Sheng's investors would lose confidence in him and start thinking about the future.

"Teacher Li's methods are getting more and more sophisticated!"

"admire!"

Chi Mengli quickly figured it out; he understood what trick Teacher Li was playing!

I will let you know once the time is confirmed!

"I had a great time chatting with you, Chisheng. See you next time!"

When Teacher Li saw that Chi Mengli had agreed to go to Mumbai, he stood up, threw his cigar into a cup of vanilla ice cream, and turned to leave. He still had to meet his client, as there had been a fierce fight going on in the no-man's-land recently.

Whether it's the Chinese guerrillas or the generals of various ethnic groups, they all need weapons. The no-man's-land has no gold mines, no US dollars, and no oil. The only thing they can exchange for money is Miss Bai.

General Luo, who was behind him, had recently been suffering repeated defeats at the hands of Khun Sa, so he needed a large sum of money to buy weapons and regain his face. Moreover, General Luo's territory needed construction, including the construction of new towns to house his soldiers.

All of this requires a lot of money, which is why General Luo took out his most treasured Miss Bai and asked Teacher Li to sell her.

Eight-Faced Buddha was originally a member of the Hongmen. He had already paved the way with the Hongmen headquarters in Honolulu. Miss Bai would add 20% and sell to the Hongmen headquarters, which could then sell them all along Chinatown.

This line of investigation is very stable; even the FBI and the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration would find it difficult to uncover any clues.

Chi Mengli watched Teacher Li leave, then stood up, bent down to tidy up the newspaper, and threw it into the trash can.

“Jasmine met someone last night, probably a policeman, and this policeman has been frequently seen around the mahjong parlor recently.” Xi Ren installed several hidden CCTV cameras in the streets and alleys of Shanghai Street for security reasons. She had her former intelligence analyst analyze the footage and found that Big Donkey had been frequently seen around Shanghai Street recently.

"It's normal to have cops following you; only a corrupt underworld boss wouldn't have any followers!"

"Jasmine is an openly known swindler, you didn't just find out today, did you?"

Chi Mengli looked at Xiren with a puzzled expression, somewhat not understanding what Xiren was saying.

Xi Ren knew that Jasmine was an openly known scoundrel, but she didn't understand why she should keep this scoundrel by her side. With another scoundrel around, the brothers would be hesitant and timid when doing things.

"Jasmine has to stay and help us deal with some of those clueless bastards!"

"To be associated with the imperial aura is a cardinal sin in the underworld! But if the cops find out on their own, then it's none of my business!"

Chi Mengli glanced at the time and, finding it was almost time, said, "I'm going out to sea to fish. The head of the gang will send back the amount of the gold-plated gift today. After counting it, send it to Hua Zirong's company so he can buy shares in Jiayi TV."

"Although Jiayi TV has not yet been listed, major financial companies have a lot of unissued shares in their hands, and they are all thinking about selling them off and turning this mess up."

As for the stock market, Xi Ren still needs to keep an eye on things. AKB Company is preparing for its IPO, and the major and minor shareholders of Rubber Company have already sold off their shares. He has already accumulated a lot of cheap, rock-bottom stocks.

The rubber company's shareholders all resigned from the board of directors one by one. Now, the board members are all their own people. As soon as the auspicious day arrives, the rubber company will immediately issue an announcement to change its name and sell off its other businesses.

AKB48's financial report for the entire Lunar New Year period was very impressive, showing profits across the board. After all, there's no reason why a business that's even remotely related to desire shouldn't make money!
"Furthermore, Cheng Yiran, the behind-the-scenes boss of Hua Zai Rong, holds a large number of Jia Yi shares. These shares have been mortgaged by Cheng Yiran more than ten times. Even if it's sugarcane, you can't squeeze any juice out of it."

Chi Mengli opened the car door for Xiren and let her get in. She then walked around the front of the car before opening the door and sitting down herself.

Xi-zai drove Chi Meng-li to the Victoria Harbour Yacht Club, then took Xi-ren to Central to meet Andy Lau.

Chi Mengli first went to the yacht club to change her clothes, and then boarded the sprint racing speedboat she had bought. This type of speedboat has two engines, but usually only one is started. If there is a problem, the backup engine can be started.

The speedboat has a small rest room, a separate bathroom and toilet, and a freshwater generator that can provide 15 liters of fresh water per hour.

In Hong Kong, yacht operator licenses are easier to obtain than driver's licenses. They don't even require theoretical courses, written tests, or payment. Once you pass the practical operation test, the license can be issued in two weeks.

The Victoria Harbour Yacht Club helps its members regularly maintain their speedboats and yachts, clean and tune engines, and remove barnacles from the hull.

The membership fee is quite high; including the berth fee, it costs more than HK$100,000 a year.

Chi Mengli jumped onto the racing speedboat. Fuel, fresh water, first aid medicine, ten signal flares, and a distress radio were all already activated. If any problems occurred, as long as the distress radio was pressed and the signal flares were released at regular intervals, the yacht club would send a helicopter to rescue them.

He gave the yacht club staff on shore an OK sign and then set sail towards the island where he was to meet Guo Guohao.

Having met up several times, they were already quite familiar with the process. They lowered the anchor in the sea and then took their fishing gear to the small island.

Guo Guohao had been waiting for a long time. When Chi Mengli passed by his bucket, she noticed three rat spots in it!

Flop!

Chi Mengli, who had just returned from the air force, was furious. So, anger rose in his heart and he immediately pretended to fall down, secretly kicking the bucket away and releasing the three spotted rats.

"You scoundrel!"

"Your actions are too obvious! You loser, you're just jealous that I catch fish every time! When you can't win, you resort to dirty tricks, you're the worst loser ever!"

As a seasoned cop, Guo Guohao immediately saw through Chi Mengli's sinister intentions and started cursing.

Having been exposed by Guo Guohao, Chi Mengli smiled shamelessly, pulled a can of Coca-Cola from Guo Guohao's refrigerator, and said, "This is a false accusation. I won't say anything unless my lawyer is here!"

While setting up the chairs and sunshade, Chi Mengli told Guo Guohao about the fact that Wang Biaojin from the Waterway had taken the initiative to come to her door. With Jasmine by her side, she couldn't not tell him, or Guo Guohao would become suspicious.

The undercover agent is like a rat caught in a bellows, suffering from both sides!
On the other end of the triad, it was unbelievable, because if the triad boss knew you were a foreigner, he wouldn't kill you, but he would kick you out and spread the word.

Even the ordnance factory didn't dare to completely trust you, because your superiors only wanted intelligence and didn't care about your life or death. They would take the credit, and you would take the blame!
Chi Mengli prepared the bait, hooked it onto the fishing line, cast it into the sea, then put the fishing rod on the rack, sat under the sunshade, and drank Coca-Cola.

Guo Guohao did learn about the gold standard from the big donkey, but the specific details still needed to be told by Chi Mengli, since he was the person involved.

"Ah Sheng, I'm not joking. Do you have a chance to expose Shenxian Jin's weakness?"

Now a senior superintendent, Guo Guohao is no longer interested in small prey. He wants to catch a big fish, a fish big enough to help him rise to the position of chief superintendent.

"I can help you, Inspector Guo, uncover the real weakness of Shenxianjin, but what about afterwards? Will we both go to hell together?"

"The Water Room isn't a moldy club, nor is it a sunset club. If you mess with the Immortal Brocade, the Immortal Brocade will mess with you. If things turn out badly, no one will have a good time!"

“Guo sir, I’m Guizai, and my heart is definitely with you. But the Shenxianjin is useless. Shuifang is already there. At most, Bai Gusheng will be replaced. Huazai Rong will take over. Shuifang might become even more aggressive because of the change of leadership.”

“I think you should target Song Sheng. A criminal group can’t be like a triad with thousands of members. You can’t accept it if these people are all gathered together playing football.”

"The triads are Chinese, and you're working for foreigners? Aren't you afraid of being criticized behind your back?"

"Whether they are Chinese tycoons or ordinary citizens, their standards for judging things are very flexible. Today's hero is tomorrow's loser!"

When Chi Mengli and Song Sheng were fighting, Song Sheng didn't dare to kill her until the crucial moment, because the reputation of the water room was there, and Shenxian Jin would also desperately push herself up in order to show the little ones below.

But if you go to get the Divine Brocade for Guo Guohao, your end will be terrible, because Guo Guohao is definitely unreliable!
