Hong Kong variety show: The tycoon who emerged from Portland Street

In the office, Chen Mo stood by the window, looking at the bustling traffic outside.

Shen Guodong opened the door and entered.

"Brother Mo, as you instructed, I have revealed the location of Wang Baofen's warehouse to Chen Yongren."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Continue investigating, and if you find anything new, tell Luo Ji."

During this week, in addition to the small-scale frictions between the two sides, Chen Mo also arranged for more than a dozen veterans to be dispatched.

After a week of investigation, although Wang Bao's large powder warehouse was not found, several small warehouses used for shipping goods were located.

This time, Chen Mo did not take action personally, but instead had someone reveal the location to Chen Yongren.

If he were to take action himself, Wang Bao would at most lose some goods and the lives of a few of his underlings.

Letting the police handle it would allow for a more thorough investigation and cause Wang Bao even greater trouble.

Chen Mo did not tell Huang Bingyao the location of the powder warehouse.

He is now the Chief Superintendent, the Commissioner of the West Kowloon Police Headquarters.

It's just a few small pink warehouses; this little bit of credit is of no use to him, and he doesn't care about it.

"How's Wang Bao doing? Have you found out how and where he made his deal with the foreigner?"

"Not yet," Shen Guodong said with a hint of shame. "Wang Bao and that Aji are both experts, very vigilant. Our brothers have tried to follow them several times but have been shaken off."

Several of our brothers were injured.

"How badly are you hurt? Is it serious?" Chen Mo asked with concern.

These two hundred veterans are all his treasures. Chen Mo gave each of them a resettlement allowance and a high salary. He felt heartbroken if even one of them died or was injured.

"Two seriously injured people have been sent to the hospital and are still unconscious. They probably won't be able to fight again. There are also two people with minor injuries, nothing serious, but they will need to rest for a while."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that they're not dead. Let them recover properly. Ask the two seriously injured brothers what their plans are once they wake up."

If they want to go home, give them a resettlement allowance. If they want to stay, arrange an easy job for them.

"Thank you, Brother Mo! I thank you on behalf of the brothers." Shen Guodong's eyes glistened with tears of emotion.

The resettlement allowance Chen Mo gave was much more generous than their previous demobilization pay.

It's rare to find someone with ten thousand yuan in mainland China these days, so Chen Mo must have given at least one hundred thousand yuan as a settlement allowance.

If those two seriously injured brothers choose to go back, with their wages from the past few months, they'll be quite wealthy, enough to be the richest people in a town.

"Let's leave Wang Bao alone for now and talk about him later."

Although Chen Mo really wanted to find out where Wang Bao and those foreigners were doing their business, he wanted to take drastic measures against them.

But it's clearly not suitable now.

Wang Bao has now discovered that someone is following him. Once the police raid his pink storage facility, Wang Bao's vigilance will definitely increase significantly.

Continuing to track them could cost several lives, and there's no guarantee of success; it's not worth it.

However, Chen Mo wouldn't let it go so easily.

Chen Mo now has two choices.

First, he personally took action and directly eliminated Wang Bao.

With Wang Bao dead, his group is leaderless, and his followers will scatter like monkeys when the tree falls.

His territory will be completely divided up by other gangs in a short period of time, just like the Ni family's territory before.

However, that wouldn't do Chen Mo any good.

Chen Mo's territory is already large enough; he can't take much of Wang Bao's territory.

Second, they directly targeted the foreigners behind Wang Bao.

The conflict between Wang Bao and Chen Mo ultimately stems from the foreigner.

As long as those foreigners want to make money on Chen Mo's turf, they will continue to cause trouble for Chen Mo.

Only by getting those foreigners to give up this idea can Chen Mo be at ease.

However, those foreigners won't give up easily.

Chen Mo's current territory includes four streets in Tsim Sha Tsui and most of Mong Kok.

If it can be used to sell followers, it will bring huge profits to those foreigners.

To get them to give up such a huge benefit, we have to be ruthless.

"Guodong, how's the investigation going with that foreigner Lawson who came last time?"

"Not much was found."

This Jeffrey Lawson is ostensibly a businessman who runs a multinational trading company.

However, I asked Jimmy to check it out, and it seems that his company is just a shell company with no actual business.

As for the officials you mentioned who are connected to him, there hasn't been enough time to find them yet.

Chen Mo was not surprised at all by Shen Guodong's answer.

This Jeffrey Lawson is the foreigner who contacted Chen Mo last time.

Those who are pushed to the forefront are usually insignificant pawns.

Chen Mo had anticipated this.

"Arrange for a few of the more meticulous guys to take him out, and do it cleanly."

Shen Guodong frowned and asked, "Are we still looking for the person behind him?"

A cold glint flashed in Chen Mo's eyes: "Keep searching. After he dies, see if anyone contacts his family or takes over his company."

There's no rush, we can investigate slowly!

Chen Mo originally intended to use Jeffrey to find out the people behind him who were stealing and selling confiscated drugs.

However, Shen Guodong has already arranged for people to investigate for several days.

Given the skills of those veterans, the fact that they couldn't find anyone after tracking them for several days shows that identifying those people is not easy.

It's possible that Jeffrey's connections with those people were very secretive.

However, Chen Mo felt that they had more likely already formed a stable system. Barring unforeseen circumstances, they might not need to contact each other frequently.

Therefore, Chen Mo felt it was more appropriate to just kill Jeffrey directly.

Chen Mo wouldn't dare to act rashly against the high-ranking foreign official behind Jeffrey, but he wouldn't care about a nobody like Jeffrey.

Jeffrey is dead, and someone else will take his place.

At that time, it might be easier to uncover those foreigners behind the scenes.

After receiving Chen Mo's order, Shen Guodong immediately went to make the arrangements.

That same night, Jeffrey, the foreigner, was hacked to death on his way home.

Because Jeffrey was a foreigner, the police took it very seriously and devoted a lot of effort to tracking down the killer.

After the autopsy, the forensic pathologist concluded that although Jeffrey's body had several stab wounds, the fatal stab was highly professional.

The killer's aim was to kill, not to steal money.

Therefore, the forensic doctor concluded that Jeffrey died from revenge, not robbery.

However, the police investigation into Jeffrey's personal relationships and company operations was halted.

Ultimately, Jeffrey's death was classified by the police as a routine robbery and, like many other robberies, was left unsolved.

Upon receiving the news, Chen Mo smiled with satisfaction.

"Guodong, give the brothers who did the work a bigger bonus. They did a great job."

Although it would be simpler and more direct to simply move Jeffrey away to reclaim land, and the risks would be smaller.

But that wouldn't serve as a deterrent.

By taking down Jeffrey, Chen Mo not only wanted to find out who was behind him, but also wanted to send a warning to those foreigners.

He warned them that Chen Mo was not someone to be trifled with.

If you push him too far, he'll kill you.
