Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 186 Merit, Promotion, and Daughter Acquisition
Chen Hong frowned. "I've already ordered a ban on the import of heroin into Hong Kong, and he still dares to do this."

They don't take me seriously.

“Brother Hong, the fact that Han Chen dared to do this shows that he has a lot of confidence.”

If I'm not mistaken, he should have also managed to get a gun from his friend in Thailand; he's not to be underestimated.

Chen Hong sat at the boss's table, crossed his fingers, and nodded slightly.

“You’re right, and he not only has a gun, he has men.”

"Someone's here?" Chen Yongren raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right, Han Chen has an undercover agent in the police force who provides him with a lot of intelligence.”

"What!" Chen Yongren's eyes widened in shock.

"He actually planted informants within the police force?"

"who is it?"

Chen Hong smiled and said, "His name is Liu Jianming."

“Liu Jianming? I seem to remember him.” Chen Yongren scratched his head. “He seems to be… a senior inspector in the Criminal Intelligence Bureau.”

"Alright, Ah Ren, you should leak Han Chen's information to the police and let them fight it out."

"Then we'll take action again and capture Han Chen in one fell swoop. We absolutely cannot let a single packet of heroin enter the Hong Kong market."

"Yes!"

Chen Yongren stood at attention, his face serious, and immediately went to do his work.

After notifying the police, they located the location of Han Chen's first transaction and prepared to intercept him.

Unfortunately, because of Liu Jianming, an insider, who tipped off Han Chen, they were unable to obtain evidence and catch him red-handed.

As a result, they had no choice but to release Han Chen and the others.

However, Chen Hong's henchmen, including Chen Yongren, took this opportunity to memorize all the personnel of both Han Chen and the trading partner.

There will be a reckoning in the future.

Furthermore, because Liu Jianming tipped off Chen Hong during this first transaction, Chen Hong also obtained evidence that he had sold out police information.

It is said that Li Ka-shing left the reporters and went out to seek out connections with many high-ranking officials.

The hope is that by adjusting official strategies, Chen Hong can be targeted for suppression.

Because in the major areas of real estate and retail, he can no longer openly defeat Chen Hong.

Chen Hong's prices are too low, yet the quality is so good, it's miles ahead of his.

How to fight this?
Therefore, he could only resort to using his power to oppress people.

They're just taking advantage of the fact that you're new, don't have as many connections as I do, and don't have as much experience as I do.

You're too advanced; let's nip you in the bud first.

But to his utter surprise, Chen Hong had stirred up another big news story.

When Han Chen made his second deal, Chen Hong no longer held back.

Despite the fact that the police's operation failed once again due to the undercover agent, Lau Kin-ming.

But the men Chen Hong sent out turned out to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

They successfully found incriminating evidence against Han Chen and seized all the heroin he had brought from Thailand on the spot.

Now that the evidence was irrefutable, Han Chen had no way to defend himself.

Moreover, Chen Hong also arranged for a large number of reporters to provide direct and accurate live coverage.

Now, everyone in Hong Kong knew that Chen Hong had done a great service by helping the police arrest a large number of drug traffickers without escaping a single one.

Furthermore, a large quantity of heroin was seized.

Furthermore, Chen Hong quickly used his methods to force Han Chen and others to reveal their collaborators and network of connections.

Pulling up a radish brings out the mud, uncovering a large number of heroin distributors in Hong Kong.

It's important to know that this is a drug trafficking network rooted in Hong Kong Island.

Ultimately, any imported heroin sales must go through them to reach each addict.

Removing them is like uprooting the poison.

This means that even if addicts want to buy it, they won't have anywhere to buy it.

Chen Hong and the police cooperated in the operation, which was decisive and swift.

Before they could even react, they were all captured.

At least 30% of the sales network on Hong Kong Island has been dismantled.

Later, during further interrogation, the network of relationships proved useless.

Because the rest either hid or ran away.

It will be very difficult to catch them again.

But this is already an unprecedented success in the history of Hong Kong Island.

This tremendous victory was immediately reported by various media outlets.

In an instant, the entire island of Hong Kong knew of Chen Hong's tremendous contribution.

The people were overjoyed upon hearing this and were deeply grateful to Chen Hong.

How much do people on Hong Kong Island hate heroin?
Just look at how many families have broken apart.

During the colonial period, this place was one of the dumping grounds for opium.

How many ordinary people have suffered from opium addiction?
Countless.

Any normal ordinary person hates heroin to the core.

Naturally, they were extremely grateful to Chen Hong for pulling out swarms of poisonous insects.

Instantly, Chen Hong's reputation soared again.

Adding to the buzz surrounding the previous battle with Li Ka-shing.

Chen Hong pressed his advantage, utilizing almost all his connections, and successfully rose to power.

From a lowly member of parliament, he rose to the top, becoming the head of the Economic Affairs Section.

It possesses the power to coordinate official industrial and commercial strategies.

Li Ka-shing was dumbfounded.

He had just been trying to get the bigwigs involved to use their official strategic authority to specifically suppress Chen Hong.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Hong became the boss of the big shots.

How is this still playing?
Chen Hong has all the rules of the game under his control, okay?

Li Ka-shing felt a sense of powerlessness, like someone who had given his all only to be overtaken and thoroughly outmaneuvered by his opponent.

No matter how hard he tried, Chen Hong always managed to get ahead of him and be one step ahead.

This is the first time Li Ka-shing has felt this powerless since becoming the richest man in China.

In the past, he was powerful and influential, and everything went smoothly for him.

But ever since I met Chen Hong, I've lost no matter what I do.

It hurts too much.

He quickly called them one by one to tell them the operation was canceled and apologized to each of them.

In fact, no one would dare to help him deal with Chen Hong anymore.

Are you kidding me? Helping a businessman get involved with his own boss?

It's not like he's tired of living. Right now, the only people on the entire Hong Kong Island who can surpass Chen Hong are the directors, two bureau chiefs, and the governor.

Chen Hong's next goal is to become the Director of the Chief Secretary for Administration.

In this way, after 97, he would be able to seize power and reshape Hong Kong Island at will.

Under his leadership, Hong Kong Island will surely grow and upgrade rapidly, astonishing the world.

Meanwhile, Chen Yongren arranged to meet undercover agent Liu Jianming on the rooftop.

As soon as Liu Jianming arrived, a gun appeared silently behind him and was pressed against his lower back.

Liu Jianming immediately raised his hands in surrender and dared not move.

Chen Yongren pulled out the pistol and handcuffs from his waist.

Remove all the bullets from the pistol.

"Quite efficient."

Liu Jianming offered a compliment.

“I also attended police academy,” Chen Yongren replied.

"You undercover agents are really something, always going up to the rooftop," Liu Jianming teased.

Chen Yongren handcuffed Liu Jianming's hands.

“I’m not like you. I’m upright and honest.” Chen Yongren said with some pride, “Following Brother Hong, I feel more righteous than when I was a cop.”

"You don't need to struggle anymore. We already knew you were Han Chen's undercover agent."

And they have obtained concrete evidence.

Last time, you gave yourself away too much while trying to help Han Chen.

"Do you think you can still remain your senior inspector if we present this evidence to the court?"

Liu Jianming's expression turned serious. He had come to the rooftop because his life was being held hostage.

"give me a chance."

“I didn’t have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person.”

Chen Yongren thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

"Brother Hong said to stay in the police force and act as his inside man, keeping an eye on the police department."

"Just help him keep an eye on the troublemakers in the Li family."

"So you're still making me an undercover agent?" Liu Jianming was somewhat unhappy.

"It's different. With Brother Hong, you don't have to do bad things; instead, you're doing good things."

Moreover, Brother Hong is now a high-ranking official, and he might even become your boss in the future, able to decide your life or death with a single word.

"You also want someone to rely on in officialdom, don't you?"

Liu Jianming thought for a moment and nodded: "That makes sense."

"Then it's settled."

"A gentleman's word."

"It's hard to chase a horse."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

At that moment, a constable rushed onto the rooftop.

"Don't move! Officers."

"Put down your gun and release Officer Liu."

Big B was seen pointing a gun at Chen Yongren.

Just as Chen Yongren was about to explain, Chen Hong's voice came through the earpiece.

"He's Han Chen's mole. Take him out."

“I will give the evidence to the police station. At most, you can be considered to have acted in self-defense, not to have shot and killed a police officer.”

Without hesitation, Chen Yongren, who trusted Chen Hong completely, shot and killed Big B.

Liu Jianming was somewhat agitated: "What are you doing! Why did you kill him?"

Chen Yongren replied calmly, "He is also Han Chen's undercover agent."

He's still ambitious; keeping him around would only cause trouble. Let's just kill him and make him your scapegoat.

He was made to take the blame for the repeated failures of the police station's previous operations.

You can also avoid suspicion and get promoted smoothly, right?

Liu Jianming fell silent.

When his own safety and interests are involved, he stops being angry.

Soon, after cleaning up the mess, Liu Jianming became Chen Hong's pawn, getting promoted and making a fortune. He then led his men to cause trouble for Li Ka-shing's businesses.

This made them all feel uneasy, and no one dared to openly commit any dirty deeds.

Chen Hong then encounters psychologist Li Xin'er and Mary.

Li Xin'er was Chen Yongren's original psychological counselor and also the object of his affection.

However, this time when Chen Yongren met Chen Hong, his psychological problems disappeared, and he did not encounter Li Xin'er.

He had already married his wife, Ah May, so naturally there was no possibility of him being with Li Xin'er.

Li Xin'er was seduced by Chen Hong, and after spending a wonderful night with him, Li Xin'er became Chen Hong's woman.

Mary and Lau Kin-ming were no longer meant to be; she was no longer Lau Kin-ming's wife.

Mary is a popular novelist.

On the surface, she appears to be very independent, but after becoming Chen Hong's woman, she becomes very dependent on him and longs for love.

She completely trusted Chen Hong, the husband she admired, which made Chen Hong dote on her very much.

The heavy rain pounded on the melon field, bringing life and greenery back to the parched land.

Chen Hong, surrounded by three beauties—Xin Xin, Li Xin'er, and Mary—ultimately gathered them all at his large villa.

Beethoven's symphonies resounded from the luxurious villa.

The powerful and stirring melody is a roar against the injustice of fate.

The stirring voices echoed in every corner of the villa, leaving an indelible mark.

On the soft, comfortable snow, three vines intertwine and climb upwards, a testament to the tenacity of life.

Overcoming all difficulties and obstacles, wind, rain, frost, and snow, they multiplied and thrived, generation after generation.

After three days and three nights of intertwined growth, the heavy snow finally melted away, and the flowers blossomed and bore fruit in the warmth of the morning sun, waiting for the day when the fruit would ripen and fall.

After realizing that he couldn't outmaneuver Chen Hong through underhanded tactics, Li Ka-shing finally began to reflect on his actions.

He thought about it for three days and three nights, analyzing Chen Hong's rise to wealth and various measures.

Now I finally understand why Chen Hong is so popular, why he can do things so smoothly, and why he can expand and grow exponentially.

That's because Chen Hong has been doing charity work and has a very good network of connections.

So he also started a charitable foundation.

Li Ka-shing, who claims to be the representative of all the people on the island, donates his love and care to the Li Foundation, which he founded.

They also claimed that their foundation is the most impartial, the most efficient, and the best charity in Hong Kong.

Donating money to him will surely accumulate good karma, bringing peace, good fortune, freedom from disasters and illnesses, and smooth sailing in business.
