Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 152 Can you help?
Dongfeng Express, rest area.

Even the usually composed Li Xiangdong was somewhat uneasy at this moment, after all, his own father was involved.

He did consider bringing his father over by smuggling him across the border, but that was simply not feasible.

He knew how bad the conditions were on the smuggling boat. Given his father's poor health, he couldn't possibly endure the hardships of the smuggling boat and would likely die on the way before even reaching the port.

Moreover, even if his father survived the ordeal of smuggling and landed on Hong Kong Island, without official status, those major hospitals simply wouldn't admit him!
Therefore, he can only seek legal channels, and Dongfeng Express is currently his last hope.

However, the beautiful Miss Ruan repeatedly refused, saying that Dongfeng Express did not offer this service, and he had to beg her for a long time before she agreed to ask the boss.

Da Da comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, if Dongfeng Express doesn't work, we'll look for other courier companies. Several new courier companies have opened in this part of Hong Kong Island, so it's not necessarily the only one that can do it."

Li Xiangdong could only pray silently in his heart.

The next moment, seeing Ruan Mei approaching, Li Xiangdong immediately stood up to greet her: "Miss Ruan, how are you?"

Ruan Mei smiled and said, "I can't make that decision myself. Our boss would like to invite you both inside to discuss it further."

Li Xiangdong and Da Da exchanged a glance and smiled simultaneously. Since they could talk, there was hope!

After the two followed Ruan Mei into the office, they were both taken aback to see a handsome young man sitting behind a desk. They hadn't expected their boss to be so young!

When Ye Dongsheng saw the two people who came in with Ruan Mei, he was slightly surprised. They were two familiar faces!

However, he remained expressionless, a smile appearing on his face: "Please have a seat, both of you. Ah Mei, bring two cups of tea for our guests."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Dongsheng kept looking at the two men. One had a straight back and a tough demeanor, exuding a familiar military aura, while the other was always smiling, with a slick and worldly air about him.

Two names immediately popped into Ye Dongsheng's mind: Li Xiangdong and Da Da!
Damn, what a coincidence!

He'd just seen a tiger, and these two showed up at his door? What the hell?

What on earth is Tiger doing? He knew this guy was an undercover agent but didn't take action? He continued to cooperate with him and continue kidnapping? And now he's even sent someone to his location?

The tiger wasn't killed, was it?
For a moment, Ye Dongsheng's mind raced, and he asked with a smile, "My surname is Ye. May I ask how you two are addressed?"

"I am Mr. Lee."

My surname is Wan.

After Ruan Mei brought the tea over, Ye Dongsheng asked her to close the office door.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Wan, I heard from Ah Mei that you are bringing your relatives from Guangzhou to Hong Kong Island? What are the specifics?"

Li Xiangdong hurriedly said, "Boss Ye, that's my father! He's currently hospitalized, and I'd like to bring him to Hong Kong Island for better treatment!"

Now Ye Dongsheng was completely certain of Li Xiangdong's identity. According to the original plan, his father would die of illness in a while.

Ye Dongsheng thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Li, why did you come to Dongfeng Express? Dongfeng Express has always only delivered goods, never people."

"Also, you can easily bring your father over yourselves, or are there any difficulties in doing so?"

Before the leader could speak, Li Xiangdong said directly:

“I am not from Hong Kong Island, and my father is unable to obtain a visa to Hong Kong, so I have no choice but to seek help from your company! I am willing to pay any amount!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Dongsheng remained silent, fully understanding why the other party had sought him out.

He then shook his head: "Dongfeng Express only delivers goods; we never accept passenger transport services. People and goods are different. Without a Hong Kong visa, that's smuggling. Dongfeng Express only does legal business; we won't break the law for money!"

Li Xiangdong opened his mouth, but Da Da quickly pressed him down, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Ye, Dongfeng Express is a household name. We all know that your company has a presence in two regions. Mr. Ye, you must be exceptionally capable to have built such a successful business."

Visa issues may be difficult for others, but they shouldn't be a problem for Mr. Ye.

Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "So, the core of the problem is that you want me to help you with your visas! To give your father a legal status to go to Hong Kong for medical treatment?"

Da Da immediately nodded: "Yes, yes! And it has to be quick!"

Even for ordinary people applying for a family visit visa to Hong Kong, it takes quite a while. If it drags on for two or three months, the person might die in the hospital before their visa is even issued.

"Gentlemen, this is even further removed from Dongfeng Express's business! Dongfeng Express delivers goods, not handles Hong Kong-bound business for people! I don't want to set this precedent!"

Da Da wanted to say something more, but then Ye Dongsheng spoke up:
"Gentlemen, since you are unwilling to handle things yourselves and no one has sent you invitations to Hong Kong, it means that you have your own troubles."

If we help troublesome people like you get visas and something goes wrong later, Dongfeng Express will also be held responsible.

To be honest, I don't want to ruin Dongfeng Express's reputation just to make a little money from you!

Now, Da Da was speechless, because what the other party said was right; the two of them were now in a situation where they couldn't be seen in the light of day!
Li Xiangdong clenched his fist, then stood up and went directly to Ye Dongsheng.

He could tell from Ye Dongsheng's words that the other party had the ability to bring his father over!
The next moment, his straight back bent down, and he bowed deeply to Ye Dongsheng:
"Mr. Ye, please help me! If you can't come to Hong Kong Island, my father will only be waiting to die! I have no other choice but to ask you for help now!"

If you are willing to help, I will be grateful for the rest of my life! No matter what you need in the future, I would be willing to go through fire and water for you!

Looking at Li Xiangdong, who was bending over, Ye Dongsheng pondered to himself that he could help with this favor. Li Xiangdong was a very capable and upright person. A promise made by such a person would definitely be kept.

It's not bad to lend a helping hand and make such a talented person indebted to us.

But he was considering one point: had this guy already killed the tiger?
If he really killed the tiger, even if Ye Dongsheng didn't intend to avenge the tiger, he would naturally be unwilling to help an "enemy".

People have varying degrees of closeness and distance. Tiger had a comradeship with him, and although he should respect his own choice, Ye Dongsheng couldn't bring himself to help the person who killed him!
Da da da……

Hearing Ye Dongsheng tapping on the wooden table, Li Xiangdong and Da Da's hearts pounded. They held their breath, anxiously awaiting Ye Dongsheng's answer.

"Alright, get up. Write down your father's information, and I'll have someone inquire about it."

Upon hearing Ye Dongsheng's words, Li Xiangdong's face immediately lit up with joy: "Thank you, Boss Ye! Thank you, Boss Ye!"

Ye Dongsheng extended his hand: "You don't need to bow yet. Getting a Hong Kong visa quickly isn't that simple. I'm not sure I can handle this. Let me find out the situation for you first!"

"No matter what, I'm very grateful to Mr. Ye for your help!"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "Leave me your contact information, and I'll give you an answer whether it works out or not!"

"Mr. Ye, how much money do you need? Is 10 enough? You..." Li Xiangdong quoted a rather large sum. Ye Dongsheng waved his hand dismissively: "Do you think I'm after that little bit of money? I'm only asking because I see you're filial!"

"How could I possibly let you go to all that expense?"

"Alright, whether this will work out is still uncertain. If it really works, we'll forget about the money. Just remember what you said!"

Li Xiangdong nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Ye, please rest assured, I, Li Xiangdong, am a man of my word and will absolutely not break my promise!"

After leaving Dongfeng Express, Da Da smiled at Li Xiangdong and said, "Don't worry, this Mr. Ye is capable of doing such a big business; he has connections everywhere. Since he said that, there must be something going on!"

Li Xiangdong smiled and nodded, feeling a sense of openness and clarity, as if the shadows surrounding his identity had been cleared away.

Watching Li Xiangdong and Da Da leave happily, Ye Dongsheng closed the door and took out his mobile phone again: "Hey, Jianguo, what's the situation with Tiger Sister? Anything unusual? Okay, if anything happens, tell me immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Dongsheng frowned.

If the tiger were safe, he should have gone to find his sister immediately. The fact that there's still no news is not good news.

He planned to see how things went; if Tiger returned, he wouldn't mind helping Li Xiangdong.

The visa process for Hong Kong is slow, but it can be expedited if you have connections. In Hong Kong, you can get someone to issue an invitation; in Guangzhou, there's Qi Wei! As long as the documents are complete, it's just a matter of him making a phone call!

If the tiger doesn't come back, then this matter will just be left at that!
Ye Dongsheng thought for a moment and then called Jimmy again: "Jimmy, could you check this personal information for me? He's currently staying at XX Hospital in Yangcheng..."

……

In the afternoon, Tiger returned to his sister's place, looking disheveled.

After the three men left, Tiger found a knife in the house, cut the rope binding his upper body, and then cleaned up the yard, burning everything, including Ding Yixie's corpse, in one go.

Carrying a huge sum of 500 million, he didn't dare to take a stranger's car. He walked a long way until he found a bus stop and rushed back to his sister's place.

"Brother? What's wrong with you?" Chen Jihong was also shocked to see her brother like this.

Tiger didn't answer, but instead asked directly, "Has Qi Jingsheng been here?"

Chen Jihong shook her head: "No, brother, isn't Jingsheng working with you?"

Then she grabbed Tiger anxiously: "Brother, what happened to Jingsheng?!"

The tiger said irritably, "This guy is..."

He wanted to call him a traitor, an ingrate, but when he thought about how these three people had let him go and even left him 500 million, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Well, anyway, don't have any more contact with him in the future!"

Tiger shook off his sister's hand, walked to the table, picked up a large gulp of water, and finally recovered.

He found both kidnappings very strange, as neither went according to plan and both resulted in internal strife, but he still managed to get the money in both cases!
He didn't know whether to call it luck or misfortune.
However, at this moment he was also thinking to himself that he should find a temple to pray at!

"Brother, what happened? What happened to Jingsheng?"

Faced with his sister's persistent nagging, Tiger said directly, "He ran away! Stop thinking about him. Pack your things now, we're leaving right away, we'll find somewhere else to stay!"

He didn't care how much of Qi Jingsheng's words were true or false; in short, he didn't want to deal with undercover agents anymore!

……

"Brother Sheng, Brother Hu is back, but he left again in a hurry with his sister!"

Hearing Wang Jianguo's report, Ye Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the tiger was not dead, that was good.

It seems that Li Xiangdong and Tiger have parted ways amicably?

"Alright, you don't need to follow me anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Dongsheng thought for a moment and then called Li Xiangdong again: "I have news, come to my place!"

After a while, Li Xiangdong and Da Da rushed to Dongfeng Express again.

Inside the office, Ye Dongsheng frowned and said:

"Mr. Li, there are some things you haven't explained to me clearly! You were originally a policeman from the mainland, and you fled to Hong Kong in 82!"

Li Xiangdong quickly apologized to Ye Dongsheng: "Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry, I was afraid you would be in trouble because of this..."

Ye Dongsheng waved his hand: "Since you've come to me for help, I hope you'll be honest with me and explain your situation clearly!"

The current situation is that I've already had someone contact your father, and he doesn't want to come to Hong Kong!

Li Xiangdong was taken aback: "What? He doesn't want to?"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "Your escape to Hong Kong has become a major worry for him. He doesn't want people to say that if his son escapes to Hong Kong, then the father will follow suit!"

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Li Xiangdong's tiger-like eyes, and he covered his face and began to weep bitterly.
"It's all my fault! I'm unfilial! I made my father suffer from the infamy, caused him to get sick, and he has no one to take care of him in the hospital! I'm so unfilial!"

Da Da quickly hugged Li Xiangdong and comforted him, "Xiangdong, try to think positively, it's not your fault..."

Seeing him crying so sadly, Ye Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh, "He really is a very filial son!"

After a moment, Ye Dongsheng coughed and then asked Li Xiangdong, "What are your plans now? Do you still want to bring your father to Hong Kong for medical treatment?"

Li Xiangdong wiped away his tears: "Mr. Ye, I also wish my father could come! But I really feel guilty towards him and don't know how to invite him!"

Ye Dongsheng said, "During the process of my people contacting your father, I found that he still cares about you very much and has been inquiring about your situation in Hong Kong. He sent someone to tell you to live an upright life in Hong Kong!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangdong covered his forehead and wept again...

"Alright, your father's health is the most important thing right now. I think you should call home, tell a little white lie, and trick your father into coming over first!"

Li Xiangdong was not stunned again: "Lying?"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "A white lie, such as coming to Hong Kong to carry out a secret mission..."
