Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 215 Old man, your good days are over!
The following day, at the White Swan Hotel.

In a small conference room, the joint investigation teams from the mainland and Hong Kong were all gathered. Whether it was Director Lu, the mainland's head, or Lu Minghua, the Hong Kong team leader, they both looked at Ye Dongsheng, who was about to speak:
"Director Lu, you asked me before why I didn't recommend discussing the case at the local police station, but instead chose to analyze it here. I'll tell you the reason: I was afraid that our information would be leaked and allowed the wanted criminal Fu Yonglin to escape ahead of time!"

Upon hearing this, Director Lu frowned immediately and asked, "Mr. Ye, are you implying that there's a mole within our Jinghai Municipal Public Security Bureau?"

Ye Dongsheng said with a smile, "Officer Qi knows more about this matter, let him explain it to everyone!"

Qi Wei smiled at Ye Dongsheng, knowing that Ye Dongsheng was deliberately giving him a chance to show off. Without being polite, he took the prepared materials and then pasted Fu Yonglin's photo on a blackboard.

"This is the target of the joint investigation team: Fu Yonglin, currently using the alias Lin Yongfu, whose public identity is that of a Taiwanese businessman investing in mainland China."

And he did indeed make investments. During this period, a new nightclub called Night Pearl opened in Jinghai, and he was one of the investors!

Speaking of the Night Pearl, I have to talk about the background of this nightclub, its other owner Chen Santai, and the Hong Kong businessman behind the registered company, Ni Yongxiao!

Upon hearing Ni Yongxiao's name, Lu Minghua exclaimed in surprise, "What? Ni Yongxiao?"

Not only Lu Minghua, but also Chen Jiaju, Qiu Gangao and others were stunned. They never expected that Ni Yongxiao would be involved in this case!

Director Lu asked, "Is this Ni Yongxiao very famous?"

Lu Minghua nodded and said, "No one in our Kowloon police force should be unaware of him."

His father was a very famous triad boss, and after his death, he inherited the family business. However, this man was very cunning; all his businesses were legalized, and there was no evidence to suggest that he had any connection with those underworld activities.

Director Lu finally understood: a gangster boss disguised as a businessman!
Then Ye Dongsheng interjected, "Director Lu, actually the Ni family made their fortune selling drugs, and he's also a drug lord in Hong Kong!"

Director Lu frowned: "What? A drug lord?"

There's a huge difference between ordinary gangsters and drug lords!

He looked at Lu Minghua, seeking confirmation. Lu Minghua shook his head with a wry smile:
"Director Lu, I cannot comment on this matter casually. After all, investigations in Hong Kong require evidence. Without evidence, our police cannot accuse him of being a drug lord, or we will be sued for defamation!"

Director Lu understood what the other party meant. Although he couldn't explicitly say that Ni Yongxiao was a drug lord, the Hong Kong Island police actually thought so too.

Qi Wei then continued, "Yemingzhu is registered under a joint venture between Ni Yongxiao and Chen Santai, so it has joint venture status. And according to rumors, Fu Yonglin participated in Yemingzhu's investment."

As for the suspected mole that Mr. Ye was wary of, it involves a regular customer of the luminous pearl…”

At this point, he wrote a name on the blackboard—

"Zhao Wendong, the Political and Legal Affairs Secretary of Luohu District!"

"Hmm? Zhao Wendong!"

Director Lu immediately felt a chill, not because he was afraid of the other party, but because the position Zhao Wendong was in was indeed important!
Because of the Luohu Port, Luohu is a gateway for foreign exchanges and is much more prosperous and has a higher status than other districts. As the top political and legal official in Luohu, Zhao Wendong naturally holds a high position in the Jinghai political and legal system!

If Zhao Wendong really gets into trouble, then when they hold a meeting at the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau to discuss the case, it might very well be discovered by the other party, thus leaking the information!
Director Lu's expression turned solemn as he asked, "Mr. Ye, Qi Wei, we must be very careful about Comrade Zhao Wendong. Are you sure he has any improper relationship with Ye Mingzhu and Fu Yonglin?"

Ye Dongsheng said, "Director Lu, of course I can't be 100% sure about this. I can only say that from my experience, it is true that Secretary Zhao takes good care of Yemingzhu and that he has been frequenting Yemingzhu recently."

Ye Dongsheng then recounted the case that had just occurred, especially Zhao Wendong's protection of Chen Santai.

At this point, Qi Wei said, "Of course, if that were all, Secretary Zhao might just be looking out for the companies under his jurisdiction, but..."

Qi Wei took out a bottle of pills from his pocket: "These Xiaoyao Pills are what Yemingzhu has been selling like hotcakes lately!"

Upon seeing the "Carefree Pill," Chen Jiaju blurted out, "Fing Head Pill!"

Seeing the Hong Kong police's reaction, Director Lu knew they weren't good people. Sure enough, Qi Wei continued:

"In Hong Kong, this is called Fing Head Pills. Its main ingredient is... It has hallucinogenic effects and is highly addictive..."

Upon hearing this, Director Lu asked directly, "Isn't this poison?!"

Qi Wei said, "Director Lu, Mr. Ye and I also think so. This is a new type of drug that has spread from Europe and America to Asia. I have sent it to the anti-drug team for identification."

Director Lu's brows were furrowed. This "Night Pearl" was getting more and more problematic. Not only was it hiding a wanted criminal like Fu Yonglin, but the other boss was a suspected drug lord from Hong Kong Island, and now he was even openly selling a new type of drug!

If that's the case, then Zhao Wendong's act of protecting Ye Mingzhu is truly despicable!
He then spoke up, saying, "Mr. Ye, your suspicions are valid. Arranging it here can help us avoid Zhao Wendong's notice."

Director Lu then turned to Lu Minghua and asked, "Superintendent Lu, how did you handle this 'Xiaoyao Pill' in Hong Kong?"

Lu Minghua glanced at Ye Dongsheng and said with a smile, "Director Lu, this is also one of the purposes of our visit. We want to discuss with you the handling of Fing Head Pills. Not only us, but I also invited people from Interpol before we came. Their anti-drug team will be coming from Tokyo in a couple of days to discuss this matter!"

Director Lu nodded and said to Qi Wei, "You continue!"

According to information provided by the Hong Kong Island Police, Fu Yonglin is a drug lord!

Therefore, I can reasonably suspect that this is a cross-border criminal gang that colludes with foreign entities and uses the Night Pearl as a base to conduct new types of drug trafficking in mainland China!

The gang's leader was Ni Yongxiao, with Fu Yonglin as a henchman. Chen Santai was the local manager and enforcer, while Zhao Wendong was likely corrupted and became a protector of the criminal gang!

After hearing what Qi Wei said, many people in the meeting room started to discuss it. Director Lu also looked very unhappy. He never expected that such a vicious criminal gang that colluded with both insiders and outsiders and officials and businessmen would emerge in Luohu, which opened its doors to the world, and that it would sell suspected contraband pills on a large scale!
After a moment, Director Lu asked, "Is Fu Yonglin currently at the Night Pearl?"

Ye Dongsheng said, "I had someone keeping an eye on him; he hasn't left."

After thinking for a moment, Director Lu said, "In that case, let's make the arrests directly!"

"We can't use the local people from Luohu District, so I'll just transfer the special police team directly from the province!"

After listening, Lu Minghua said, "Director Lu, I must remind you that Fu Yonglin is an extremely dangerous person. He and his men should be armed with heavy weapons!"

Upon hearing this, Director Lu asked curiously, "Heavy firepower? Does he have cannons?"

Lu Minghua was momentarily speechless: "Uh, what I mean is, he has AKs and grenades..."

Director Lu waved his hand with a smile: "Hey, it's just a few rifles and grenades!"

"Director Lu, the Night Pearl gets very crowded when it's open at night. Shouldn't we choose a time when there are fewer people to carry out our operation?" Director Lu nodded: "Have someone scout the location today and get some information. We'll move out tomorrow!"

At this moment, Chan Ka-kui raised his hand and asked, "Commander Lo, as members of the joint task force of the Hong Kong Island Police, could you issue us a gun so that we can participate in the operation?"

Director Lu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Young comrade, you must trust the capabilities of our mainland police. We certainly won't let the criminal escape!"

Lu Minghua also looked at Director Lu: "Director Lu, it's not that we don't trust the mainland police, but we're here to arrest criminals, not to watch a show. This is the duty of the Hong Kong police!"

Seeing that these Hong Kong Island police officers were so insistent, Director Lu felt a headache coming on. He didn't want these people to get involved in the operation and cause any accidents.

At this moment, he looked at Ye Dongsheng, hoping that Ye Dongsheng could persuade the other party.

Ye Dongsheng understood and said with a smile, "Everyone, we don't necessarily have to use a forceful attack. For example, I can lure Chen Santai out and you can take him down directly!"

As for Fu Yonglin, if he hadn't come, we could have easily apprehended him by asking Chen Santai about his situation!

Director Lu immediately smiled: "Yes, yes, a direct assault is the last resort. Then we'll have to trouble Mr. Ye!"

……

Looking at Chen Santai's swollen cheeks, Fu Yonglin frowned and asked, "Brother Tai, didn't you go to see Secretary Zhao yesterday? How did you get like this?"

Mentioning this made Chen Santai angry.

Although Ye Dongsheng didn't do anything to him, yesterday he knelt down and begged for mercy and slapped himself, which made him lose all face!
Chen Santai said irritably, "I'm just unlucky this time, I've kicked a hornet's nest!"

"Iron plate? Who's that?"

"Who else could it be? Dongfeng Express!"

"Dongfeng Express? Didn't Secretary Zhao just give them a good talking-to a couple of days ago?"

"What do you know? That Ye guy has powerful connections; he's even reached the provincial level! Even Secretary Zhao has no choice but to bow his head!"

Fu Yonglin frowned upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Ye Dongsheng to be so influential. Back in Hong Kong, he had mobilized the police force to help him deal with Gentleman Sheng, and now on the mainland, his connections even extended to the provincial level!

Chen Santai wasn't interested in discussing this further: "Anyway, be careful in the future, don't mess with the Dongfeng Express people and cause trouble for our Night Pearl!"

Just then, the phone on the desk rang. Chen Santai picked up the receiver and immediately put on a fawning smile again.

"Hello, Mr. Ye! Oh, of course I have time. I'll make it to your banquet no matter how busy I am! I understand! Okay, I'll call the people and head over right away!"

After he hung up the phone, Chen Santai sighed, then looked at Fu Yonglin: "The guy surnamed Ye wants to treat us to dinner, let's go!"

Fu Yonglin was taken aback: "Huh? Inviting you to dinner? I want to go too?"

Chen Santai nodded: "This is a reconciliation banquet for both sides. I'm bringing you along so we can meet and avoid future conflicts if we don't recognize each other!"

Fu Yonglin immediately shook his head: "Brother Tai, I have nothing to do with him, you go by yourself!"

Just kidding, Ye Dongsheng has a grudge against him. What if he recognizes him as soon as they meet?
Chen Santai frowned: "It's just going out for a meal!"

You can't eat this, otherwise only one of Fu Yonglin and Ye Dongsheng will survive!
Fu Yonglin has no intention of giving up his carefree life on the mainland, so he has to turn it down!
With a sudden thought, Fu Yonglin said with a sour face, "Brother Tai, if you're going to go and act like a coward, don't drag me down with you!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.

"you!"

When his shortcomings were exposed to Fu Yonglin's face, Chen Santai pointed at Fu Yonglin's back, his already swollen face swelling even more with anger.

However, he couldn't do anything to Fu Yonglin, so he could only slam the door and leave, hurriedly choosing gifts to attend the banquet.

An hour and a half later, Chen Santai walked into the White Swan Hotel carrying a box.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Xu Dajiang.

Xu Dajiang walked over, glanced behind him, and then put his arm around Chen Santai's shoulder with a smile: "Brother Tai, are you alone? Didn't you say that Boss Lin was also coming?"

Chen Santai shook his head helplessly: "Sigh, when I went to call him, I found that the guy was completely drunk and couldn't be woken up at all, so I had to come alone!"

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Xu Dajiang looked warily at the box in his hand again: "What are you carrying?"

"I specially sourced this; it's rumored to be a Song Dynasty ceramic vase. I've heard that many Hong Kong business owners like antiques, so I brought it here specifically for Mr. Yip!"

Xu Dajiang chuckled upon hearing this: "Brother Tai, you're so thoughtful! You already have enough people, why bring anything else!"

"That won't do. There's no reason for us to come empty-handed!"

As Chen Santai walked, he chatted with Xu Dajiang, but he felt that the guy was acting strangely today. Why was he holding him so tightly? Was he deliberately getting revenge on him?

However, his mind was focused on Ye Dongsheng, so he didn't think much of it and didn't notice that several people in the hall were staring at his back as he slowly trailed behind them.

Pushing open the door to the private room, Chen Santai, holding the box, was about to greet everyone when his smile froze, because he noticed many unfamiliar faces in the room.

At this moment, Qi Wei, Chen Jiaju, and a few others walked in and closed the door: "It's just him!"

Sitting at the table, Ye Dongsheng sighed, "What a pity!"

Chen Santai asked with a stiff smile, "Mr. Ye, what does this mean?"

Xu Dajiang lowered his head and smiled sinisterly. With a sudden burst of strength, he tripped Chen Santai and slammed him to the ground: "Old man, your good days are over!"
