Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 296 Terrifying Intelligence Capabilities
“Simon promised me that once I completed the mission, he would help me realize my dream.”

"My dream is very simple."

"I don't want to be a senior agent for the Telecommunications Department anymore."

"I want to go into politics, I want to be a wealthy man."

"I simply thought it was just a dirty job."

"I never imagined that this task would involve you."

"When I opened the mission bag given to me by the West Gate in the parking lot downstairs of the Jardine House, I realized that this mission was such a rip-off."

"I was struggling with this decision when you called me, which almost scared me to death."

"My mind was in a mess at the time, and I didn't see the incoming call message at all, otherwise I wouldn't have yelled at you."

"Even if you gave me a million lives, I wouldn't dare yell!"

"And then I came back."

James honestly recounted everything he had seen and heard, including his thoughts, to Chen Guozhong, without daring to be careless in the slightest.

Chen Guozhong asked curiously:
“Simon was the head of Jardine Matheson, and Jardine Matheson was the head of the four major foreign trading companies.”

"Logically speaking, he should be the number one figure in Hong Kong's wealthy circles."

"You actually dared to confess to me?"

"Aren't you afraid of Simon?"

James remained silent for a long while before smiling wryly:
"You are all rich people."

"Simon is a pure businessman at best."

"But you are not."

“Brother Kun… Mr. Li and the other two are all former senior officers of Hung Hing, and you are a police superintendent.”

"I only offended a rich man by offending Simon."

"If I offend you, I will offend four of you."

"I can still count."

Chen Guozhong smiled and shook his head:

"You slippery little devil."

“The Jardine Matheson Group is not just about him being a rich man.”

"They have a whole network of connections behind them."

"in addition……"

"It was HSBC's Ms. Shen who recommended you to Simon."

"You've completely sold out Ximen, aren't you afraid they'll cause you trouble?"

James turned pale:
"what?"

Chen Guozhong said with a smile:

"You do not know?"

James shook his head vigorously.

He has no idea!

In the executive office at the West Gate, he didn't even dare to look up.

She was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Simon.

Little did I know there were so many twists and turns behind it all.

James was truly stunned at that moment.

Chen Guozhong looked at him calmly:
"You're not bad!"

"At least when he was with me, he didn't lie."

James paused, looking at him suspiciously:
"Can you tell if I'm lying?"

Can't you?
After all, he was a senior agent of the Chongqing Telecommunications Bureau.

Those who are trained in anti-torture techniques are professionally trained.

Micro-expression control is an essential subject to learn.

How could Chen Guozhong possibly tell whether he was lying or not?

Let alone Chen Guozhong, even if the CIA from the U.S. were to come, they probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference, right?
Chen Guozhong smiled:

"Don't guess. I don't have the ability to tell if you're lying."

James was startled. "You still say you don't have that ability?"

"Whether you're lying or not, I'll know after I hear what you say," Chen Guozhong said calmly, sipping his Kung Fu tea.

James didn't believe it, and he didn't quite understand what Chen Guozhong meant.

Chen Guozhong pushed a piece of paper over, gesturing for the other person to take a look.

James looked down and was nearly scared to death.

Surprisingly, it contained a record of his conversation with Simon.

Not a single word was missing; it's absolutely terrifying!
James stammered, pointing at the paper:
"This this……"

His hands actually started to tremble.

Chen Guozhong looked at him speechlessly:
"What are you afraid of?"

James' smile looked more like a grimace.
"Isn't this terrifying enough?"

My every move was actually known to the other side's intelligence capabilities!
Is there anything more terrifying than this?
That's all!

James was almost scared to death.

Are all billionaires really that capable?
Chen Guozhong said calmly:

“We are newly minted billionaires, and there will always be people who want to cause us trouble.”

“Look, Simon is just like that.”

As the ancients said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

"These are just some precautionary measures."

James was speechless.

Do you really think you've never seen The Art of War?

What a joke.

That stuff is a must-read!

Who has such advanced intelligence capabilities?

If you control all of a person's information, you can control their life.

After all, all your secrets are seen by others; you are completely transparent.

Others can design you however they want!

Chen Guozhong suddenly asked:
"James, do you really want to break out of the intelligence system?"

James nodded vigorously:
"Being a top-level intelligence agent is not something a human being can do."

"The danger we face is too great."

"At least in Hong Kong, there is a geographical advantage."

"If I were sent to another place, it would almost certainly mean certain death."

"Many of my colleagues have been sent to the Red Bear..."

Chen Guozhong sighed:
"That's really bad luck."

James smiled wryly:

"Who says it isn't?"

"Many people were killed, and even more were sent to Siberia to dig for ice."

Fear was evident on James' face.

"I don't want to end up like them someday."

"Therefore, I want to leave the intelligence department."

Chen Guozhong put down his teacup and asked seriously:
Do you want to hear my opinion?

James quickly said:

"Tell me, I'm listening."

What's there to hesitate about when it comes to the opinion of a billionaire?
Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"In my opinion, I don't recommend that you leave the military intelligence system."

James's expression changed drastically.

Chen Guozhong waved his hand gently.
"If you leave the military intelligence system, according to the rules, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement and be monitored for the corresponding number of years."

"During this period, it will be inconvenient for you to do anything you want."

"If you are being used by someone, then congratulations, you will soon know what political infighting is."

"Then, your political life is over."

"My opinion is that you should stay in Hong Kong."

James smiled wryly:

"I can not!"

Chen Guozhong looked at him with a half-smile:
"why?"

After a long silence, James finally took a deep breath.
"I'm afraid I'll be killed by you or Li Daban before I even finish my mission."

"My task with Fog City was to raise funds by using drugs, especially those seized by the police."

"However, everyone in Hong Kong knows that you two are the guys who hate pink vendors the most."

“Once you notice them, they have no choice but to die.”

"It was fine before, after all, my position and authority were above yours."

"But now, the situation is completely different."

"You are billionaires."

"People in the Western world know that if you want to live a good life, don't go against billionaires."

"It's not beneficial at all."

"The unfortunate thing is that I'm now going against a billionaire."

James looked at Chen Guozhong with concern.
"Ah Zhong, I'm really afraid that one day you'll kill me!"

Chen Guozhong said gently:

"No, as long as you don't cause any real harm to Hong Kong, I won't kill you."

James was even more frightened: "You really want to kill me?"

Chen Guozhong corrected him, "It's not that I want to kill you, it's that you brought this upon yourself, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"Besides, even if I don't make a move, Ah Kun will."

"You know, he's desperately short-staffed right now."

"And powder is the most damaging to a worker."

“Your actions are not completing a task, but destroying his means of making money.”

Chen Guozhong felt no pressure at all when he smeared Liang Kun.

"Of course, you are safe until you cause any real trouble for Hong Kong."

James shook his head with a wry smile:
Is this considered a consolation?

Chen Guozhong smiled:

"Actually, I should thank you."

“Look, Babi and the others have directly brought me many merits.”

"It was clearly the first batch of goods I seized, yet they kept making up all sorts of achievements about it."

"Otherwise, how could I have been promoted so quickly!"

James took a step back in fright:
"You know it all?"

Chen Guozhong disagreed:
Hong Kong is a well-known spy capital.

"It's very, very difficult to keep a secret."

"Under such circumstances..."

"Isn't it natural that your secrets were leaked?"

"Why are you nervous?"

James swallowed hard.

"You know about Babi?"

Chen Guozhong casually said:

"I already told you, I want to thank you."

"Not only Babi, but also Bai Tou Weng and Dai Po Hei..."

James' face turned deathly pale, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
"You...you're going to kill me?"

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"No!"

"I already said, you didn't cause any real harm, so I won't touch you."

If Chen Guozhong had been given the choice, he would definitely have taught James a lesson, but Wang Dao persuaded him otherwise.

Previously, due to their low social status, it would be difficult to explain their actions afterward.

There's no need to explain anything to anyone now.

He's just a foreigner. He can do whatever he wants. Who can find out that he did it himself?
In Hong Kong, the real camouflage isn't white skin, but gold—the color of money!
Fortunately, Chen Guozhong's credentials are quite valuable now.

James breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:
"Don't worry, Brother Zhong, I will never do such a thing again."

Chen Guozhong smiled and shook his head: "Why should we stop?"

"You just focus on developing your downline and do your best to fulfill the tasks assigned to you by Fog City."

James looked at him suspiciously:
"You're not looking for an opportunity to attack me, are you?"

Chen Guozhong looked at him with loving eyes:
"Do I need to use such an excuse?"

"If I really wanted to kill you..."

"Why do you need so much trouble?"

"I need you to help me accumulate merits."

You think you can fool us?!

James froze, staring blankly at the paper on the table, speechless for a long time.

There's no way to refute it.

If they can know the details of their conversation with Simon just now, what difficulty would it be for them to figure out their own actions?
James' smile was more like a grimace:
"So all my efforts were in vain?"

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"Who said that?"

"You did a great job!"

"It's just that those drug lords who sold drugs were unlucky."

"They just happened to run into me."

James didn't react for a moment:

"What good is it to meet you?"

"Doesn't this just highlight my low work efficiency?"

Chen Guozhong said with a smile:
"I'm not only a ruthless detective, but also a billionaire!"

Ok? !

James realized it immediately:
"You mean if someone else had cracked the drug trafficking case, I would have been blamed?"

"But you solved this case. You have the status of a billionaire to shield you. Even if the people from Fog City came, they couldn't do anything about it, right?"

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"correct."

Isn't it obvious?

"Just imagine, what if a police officer with the same background as me appeared in Chongqing?"

"What will the guys in the cabinet think?"

James suddenly came back to life:

"This has potential!"

Chen Guozhong smiled and said:

"You just need to win them over. Anyone you can win over, I'll wipe them out later."

James's lips twitched.

He knew he was nothing more than a tool.

But so be it, I'll just be a tool.

It's better than letting Chen Guozhong kill me.

"Hong Kong's return to China is an unstoppable trend, and it cannot be delayed by the Fog City's desire."

"In other words, it's safer to stay here than anywhere else for the next decade or so."

James' pupils contracted:
"You knew about this too?"

Chen Guozhong looked at him strangely:
"Didn't you come to Hong Kong by plane with the Secret Service envoy?"

"You didn't know about this?"

James gasped.

Goodness, Chen Guozhong's intelligence capabilities are beyond my imagination.

Chen Guozhong looked at him with surprise, and that look made James feel very uncomfortable.

"Brother Zhong, just say what you have to say... I'm scared by that look in your eyes!"

James really couldn't stand Chen Guozhong's gaze anymore.

Chen Guozhong sighed softly:
"Don't you know I have excellent intelligence capabilities?"

"I thought headquarters knew about my abilities!"

Ok? !

James stood there, dumbfounded.

He remembered!
Chen Guozhong's file also mentioned the other party's intelligence capabilities.

However, James didn't care at all.

Isn't it ridiculous to boast about your intelligence capabilities in front of intelligence officials in Chongqing?

But... who would have thought your intelligence capabilities were this limited?

James gave a wry smile:
"Okay, I admit it, I haven't read Sun Tzu's Art of War."

Know yourself and know your enemy.

He can't even understand himself and his enemy, so how dare he say he's read this book?

Chen Guozhong sighed:

"With your work style, you should take my advice and stay in Hong Kong. If you go to other parts of the world, I'm afraid you'll get killed!"

James was hit hard.

After a long while, he suddenly thought of a critical problem.

"How am I supposed to tell Simon, the head of the household?"

Chen Guozhong looked at him in surprise:
"You want to switch jobs?"

James was at a loss because of Chen Guozhong:
"Brother Zhong... what does this mean?"

Chen Guozhong sighed:
"Your brain is incredibly rigid."

"You must complete the task that Simon gave you!"

James smiled wryly:

"I can not!"

Chen Guozhong tossed him a file folder:

"What's wrong with this?"

"Here, I've prepared it for you."

"This is full of our information!"

James stammered:

"Really?"

Chen Guozhong countered with:

"If you don't give it to him, are you going to wait to be punished by him?"

James shook his head vigorously:
"No no no!"

"I don't want to get beaten up by him."

He quickly assured him,

"Don't worry, Brother Zhong, I definitely won't watch it."

Chen Guozhong sneered:

"If you don't memorize the information, what will you do when Simon asks you questions?"

James was speechless for a moment.

After a long while, he cautiously sought confirmation:

"Can I really see it?"

Chen Guozhong bluntly stated:

"These are all our real documents, of course you can look at them."

James's expression was very complicated.

Allowing viewing of this stuff takes a lot of nerve.

So he joked,
"Brother Zhong, aren't you afraid I'll use it for something bad?"

Chen Guozhong remained calm, but he looked at James with a strange gaze that made the other man feel uneasy.

"I'm almost crying from how stupid you are!"

"Do you think I wouldn't know what you've done with this information, given my intelligence-gathering capabilities?"

James stood there, dumbfounded!
Yup!

They can even collect all the information on Simon, let alone their own.

If someone is really that stupid, then they deserve to die from stupidity.

Chen Guozhong bluntly stated:

"Don't do anything stupid. From now on, just follow me and do things properly."

"Just enjoy all the benefits from Simon's side!"

As for the future...

"I will make you achieve many great things."

"Money will come, and so will the future."

"Now it's up to you to make a choice: accept it or not."

James made his choice immediately:

"I accept!"

Chen Guozhong clapped his hands lightly:
"very good!"

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

James asked, puzzled:

"You just accept that?"

"Don't you have any doubts?"

Chen Guozhong said with a smile:

"I'm a ruthless detective, after all. I know whether you're sincere or not."

James couldn't take it anymore; he felt like the man in front of him was completely dominating him.

Simply incredible!

James quickly stood up and took his leave:

"Brother Zhong, I have to go back right away."

Chen Guozhong offered his advice:
"I suggest you go back to your office first and make sure you memorize the information."

“Simon isn’t as easy to talk to as I am.”

He will definitely test you.

If you can't pass the test, that's your problem.

James solemnly stated:

"I understand."

When it comes to his own life, how could he dare to be careless?

Chen Guozhong added:
"After you hand over the documents to the other party, remember to find a reason to come to my place."

"I have something for you."

James said in astonishment:

"Can't you give it to me now?"

Chen Guozhong smiled:

"This is a reward."

James immediately understood that since it was a reward, it should be given after the task was completed.

He bid farewell to Chen Guozhong and left.

Chen Guozhong smiled and dialed Wang Dao's number:

“Ado, everything is just as you predicted.”

"James took our files."

"You've provided quite a lot of details."

Wang Dao smiled:
"It won't do if it's not detailed enough."

"When you're acting, you have to go all the way."

"Otherwise, why would they have slashed Yihe so viciously?"

Chen Guozhong smiled and shook his head:

"You're really cunning... Is James reliable?"

The kingly way disagrees:

"The people at the Chongqing Telecom Office are untrustworthy, but they are the most pragmatic."

"If we put enough pressure on him, then he'll have no choice but to take it!"

"James is trustworthy now."
