Chapter 110: Setting Up a Persona

Downstairs at Guojun Building.

"Come on, everyone come and get your boxed lunches."

Niu Xiong drove over with several boxes of fast food, along with milk tea and egg tarts.

The Police Constables from the uniformed branch immediately caught the scent and, before long, had snatched up all the fast food.

Handing a bottle of milk tea and a portion of fast food to Chen Guozhong, Niu Xiong looked upstairs and said, "Brother Zhong, how is the situation?"

"An hour ago, Jing Kun, Han Bin, Shisimei, Konglong, Hao Dazai, Baohua, and Gan Zitai all went upstairs," Chen Guozhong said as he lit a cigarette.

Niu Xiong bit into an egg tart and said, "Don't you feel that Superintendent Zhang's idea is a bit problematic? He has spent so much energy having us keep an eye on Hong Le and Hong Xing; it will only make the grudge between these two groups deeper and deeper."

"He is from the Serious Crimes Unit; he doesn't have as much experience dealing with the triads as we in the Anti-Triad Unit do," Chen Guozhong said, flicking the ash from his cigarette.

Niu Xiong took out a cigarette and lit it, saying, "Brother Zhong, you're lucky; you're about to retire soon. I'm the one who's miserable—I don't know how long I'll have to be stuck here."

"Let's hope so. I also don't want anything to happen recently."

Chen Guozhong shook his head, his heart filled with endless worry, simply because he knew the temper of this man, Chen Jiajun.

VIP room.

A cup of coffee sat in front of Chen Jiajun, and Zhan Peizhong, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, was reporting his recent gains: "Mr. Chen, you currently have a total of 580 million in funds invested in this stock, Kowloon Wharf."

"Currently, you have a total of 23.2 million shares of Kowloon Wharf stock in your account, with an average acquisition price of 25 dollars."

To acquire the Kowloon Wharf stock, Chen Jiajun had invested a total of 580 million; besides the 400 million he had initially bitten off from the Jianing Group, there was also 80 million from Hong Xing, and on top of that, he had utilized another 100 million.

"Mr. Chen, do you still wish to acquire more Kowloon Wharf stock?" After finishing his report, Zhan Peizhong asked.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "I didn't come here today for the sake of Kowloon Wharf. I want to ask if Wardley Company can help me take out a Loan by using the Kowloon Wharf stock as collateral."

"Stock collateral?"

Zhan Peizhong was stunned for a moment; the reason was simple: the fluctuations of stocks were far too great, and the bank was unwilling to bear such risks.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "If you cannot make the decision on this matter, go and consult your senior executives."

He knew deeply that Wardley Company, as a subsidiary of HSBC, was absolutely capable of doing this.

Very quickly, Zhan Peizhong invited John Wambas over.

John Wambas entered the VIP room and immediately reached out his hand toward Chen Jiajun: "Mr. Chen, call me Wambas!"

The two shook hands, and after John Wambas sat down, he asked, "Mr. Chen, I would like to ask, what is the money you are borrowing primarily going to be used for?"

"It is mainly because of insufficient cash flow. I currently have a full 580 million in funds tied up in this Kowloon Wharf stock, and I don't want to sell this stock for the time being. However, because I recently opened a new electronic technology company, I am in urgent need of funds for turnover—not much, just 100 to 200 million."

Chen Jiajun explained with a smile; in reality, he wasn't doing it for capital turnover, but to prepare funds for the great war with Hong Le.

Once the war machine started, funds would flow out continuously; now he only had twenty-something million left, which was completely insufficient to support it.

John Wambas pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, Mr. Chen, please sit for a while, and I will go ask HSBC."

"Please go ahead," Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

Leaving the office, John Wambas immediately called the HSBC Chief Executive, Shen Bi: "Mr. Shen, this is Wambas."

"Please speak," Shen Bi responded.

John Wambas explained Chen Jiajun's request.

This was the second time Shen Bi had heard the name Chen Jiajun; the 580 million acquisition of Kowloon Wharf had also given him quite a shock.

He immediately said, "Invite him over immediately."

"Understood!"

After hanging up the phone, Wambas immediately walked into the office and explained the situation to Chen Jiajun, and the two walked toward HSBC Bank; HSBC was not far from Wardley Company.

Along the way, the two chatted and laughed, while Dumu, Lao Yu, and the other imp slaves kept watch in the surroundings.

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, a massive explosion reached everyone's ears. Dumu, Lao Yu, and the others didn't even think before directly shielding Big Brother, and several imp slaves immediately surrounded Chen Jiajun in the center.

After the explosion came a powerful tremor.

Fire soared into the sky, and a small mushroom cloud appeared in mid-air.

"WTF, was that an earthquake?" Wambas immediately stared blankly at everything!

"Get down!"

An imp slave immediately tackled Wambas and Zhan Peizhong to the ground.

"Da-da-da, da-da-da!" Clear gunfire rang out.

The bustling streets of Central were instantly thrown into chaos; everywhere there were screaming citizens fleeing frantically in all directions. Cars were overturned by the violent explosion, and the shop windows along the street were shattered to pieces.

Chen Jiajun saw that the leader, a young man of medium height and lean build, wearing a mask and holding an AK47 Assault Rifle, was walking with confident strides, followed by several armed thugs.

They took several boxes of cash from an American Bank armored car and turned to leave.

The seven of them boarded a van one after another and sped away.

The gazes of Chen Jiajun and the leader crossed in mid-air.

He immediately recognized this person's identity: Tian Yangsheng!

Damn it!

The Seven Sons of Tian!

The Central heist!

The handiwork behind Serious Crimes Unit Superintendent Zhang Wenyao!

The opportunity has come!

Reacting, Chen Jiajun immediately said to Lao Yu, "Follow them immediately!"

At this moment, the street was in total chaos; taking advantage of the disorder, Lao Yu immediately followed the group of kidnappers.

"Save people!"

"Hurry and save people!"

After watching the old prisoner leave, Chen Jiajun shouted hurriedly.

After shouting, Chen Jiajun immediately rushed toward a middle-aged woman trapped in a car; the car had already been overturned, the middle-aged woman had lost consciousness, and the car was still leaking oil.

The situation was extremely critical; this was the time to establish a persona.

"Bang!"

Chen Jiajun smashed the car window glass with an elbow, then climbed inside to unbuckle the seatbelt and dragged the middle-aged woman out.

Several Anti-Triad Unit police officers responsible for watching Chen Jiajun, including Chen Guozhong and Niu Xiong, were slightly surprised to see this scene, but they came to their senses and immediately stepped forward to help.

Chen Guozhong took the middle-aged woman from Chen Jiajun's hands, stared into Chen Jiajun's eyes, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Chen Jiajun did not speak and immediately rushed toward the next car; the young demon slaves also rolled up their sleeves one after another to help.

John Wambas stepped forward and said, "Mr. Chen, the HSBC Chief Manager Mr. Shen is still waiting for you. There are police here, leave it to them, you come with me first."

"Is saving people more important, or is making money more important?"

Chen Jiajun shouted and continued to bury himself in saving people.

Seeing this, Wambas and Zhan Peizhong looked at each other, both showing expressions of astonishment; they had not expected that this Chen Jiajun would actually be such a society Dragon Head.

Moreover, Chen Jiajun was also a Big Spender worth five hundred million.

Ordinary rich people would have long since avoided such a situation; who would still come over to save people!

Wambas took out his mobile phone to explain the situation to Shen Bi: "Mr. Shen, a big explosion has occurred in Central!"

"I heard the commotion. Are any of you injured? Is Mr. Chen unhurt?" Shen Bi asked immediately.

Looking at Chen Jiajun, who was busy there, Wambas shook his head and said, "No, but Mr. Chen is currently saving people; I'm afraid he won't be able to make it over for a while."

Shen Bi also showed an expression of astonishment; after a long while, he said with a wry smile, "It's fine, saving people is the priority! Accompany Mr. Chen and come over together, I can wait."

TVB and Rediffusion Television arrived faster than expected, even faster than the ambulances.

When they arrived, they saw such a scene: a handsome guy wearing a designer suit, regardless of the dirt and the danger, leading a group of fierce-looking tough men, desperately saving people there.

The Rediffusion Television Reporter Le Huizhen quickly recognized the identity of that handsome guy: Hongxing Dragon Head Jing Jun, the Boss of Guojun Technology!

This was a great story!

She hurriedly had the cameraman set up the shot, then picked up the microphone and said, "Audience friends, audience friends, a big explosion has just occurred in Central. We reporters have already arrived at the scene to bring you the situation on the ground."

"We can see that the enthusiastic citizen Mr. Chen is already leading his underlings... employees, and is already carrying out rescue operations."

"..."

In this Central explosion case, Chen Jiajun participated in the rescue operation from beginning to end.

After participating in the rescue, he and Wambas and the others, covered in oil stains, arrived at HSBC to meet the HSBC Chief Manager—Shen Bi!

Shen Bi was similar in height to him, with graying hair; seeing the oil-stained Chen Jiajun, he could not help but be a little startled.

"Sorry, Mr. Shen. I think I should come back and make an appointment with you another time?" Chen Jiajun said.

Shen Bi shook his head and reached out his hand enthusiastically: "Although you are covered in filth, in my eyes, you are incomparably noble. Come, please come with me!"

Inside the luxury office, Shen Bi handed Chen Jiajun a Cigar: "Mr. Chen, I heard from Wambas that you want to use Kowloon Wharf shares as collateral to take out a loan of 100 to 200 million Hong Kong dollars from HSBC, is that right?"

"That's correct, but now it's increased to 250 million," Chen Jiajun replied.

"Why is there suddenly an extra fifty million?" Shen Bi asked curiously.

Chen Jiajun replied, "You also know that a big explosion just happened in Central. I want to donate the extra fifty million to the innocent citizens injured in the explosion, and to help repair the nearby shops. If HSBC can only lend me 100 million, I think I would still do the same."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bi wanted to applaud Chen Jiajun!

After pondering for a moment, Shen Bi said slowly, "The share price of Kowloon Wharf is very stable, and we at HSBC are also very optimistic about the future of this stock. Mr. Chen, you are a very interesting businessman; I am willing to make you my friend. Wambas!"

"Mr. Shen." Wambas stepped forward.

Shen Bi continued, "Just follow the current share price; take Mr. Chen's ten million shares of Kowloon Wharf as collateral."

"Yes!" Wambas said immediately.

As the HSBC Chief Manager, Shen Bi had more information channels than anyone else. There were currently two major shareholders of Kowloon Wharf competing; one was the Hong Kong Chinese tycoon Bao Jueshi, and the other was Jardine. Neither side was willing to give up, and this stock would rise sharply in the future.

Plus, Chen Jiajun was so handsome and an enthusiastic citizen; Shen Bi was willing to make this friend.

"Thank you, Mr. Shen!" Chen Jiajun immediately stood up and reached out his hand.

Asia Television and TVB broadcast the aftermath of the Central explosion in its entirety, and Chen Jiajun's figure also appeared before all the citizens of Hong Kong, as well as all the society members in Hong Kong.

The cameraman's shooting technique was superb:

Chen Jiajun had just rescued a middle-aged woman and immediately rushed to the next car, desperately smashing the glass to rescue a little girl from the passenger seat.

Placing her on the ground, he ignored the sweat on his face and immediately performed first aid on the little girl, even lowering his head to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Until the little girl woke up, a look of joy appeared on Chen Jiajun's face; he picked up the little girl and handed her to a Uniformed Police officer, wiped his sweat, and immediately turned to participate in other rescues.

The sunlight hit Chen Jiajun's face just right; that night, many Hong Kong housewives, young married women, and young girls all suffered from insomnia.

And at the next moment, the television screen flashed, and the news anchor of the wireless station said: "Breaking news, enthusiastic citizen Mr. Chen has just arrived at the Hong Kong Police Headquarters to donate a sum of money. Please look at our live broadcast."

On the screen, Chen Jiajun appeared downstairs at the Hong Kong Police Headquarters, accepting interviews from many reporters on the scene:

"This explosion case is truly too heinous! Many innocent citizens have been harmed. As a member of Hong Kong, in my capacity as Chairman of Guojun Technology, I am donating fifty million unconditionally to the citizens affected by this explosion. I hope the police can bring this gang of robbers to justice immediately."

After a brief conversation with the reporters, Chen Jiajun left the wireless station in a low-key manner.

After getting into the car, Chen Jiajun lit a Cigar with satisfaction, immediately called Xing Shu, and said ruthlessly with a cold expression: "Xing Shu, spread the word: within seven days, I want to drive Hong Le to extinction."

As he spoke, Chen Jiajun lowered the window, revealed a warm smile, and waved to the reporters on the side of the road.

Raising the window, Chen Jiajun said to Ya Qi: "Ya Qi, go and check the whereabouts of Superintendent Zhang Wenyao, preferably his home address. I want to see him tomorrow night."

"Yes, Big Brother!" Ya Qi responded.

The persona had been established; next, reap enough benefits and go to war with Hong Le!

Even if the police wanted to drag him to Stanley Prison, there would be plenty of Lawyers willing to fight the case for the enthusiastic citizen Mr. Chen!

The enthusiastic citizen Mr. Chen not only had to establish a persona in front of the citizens of Hong Kong and the police, but he also had to snatch that money from the seven sons of Tianyang.

On the other side, after the seven Tianyang siblings fled frantically in that van, they split into two sedans along the way, and after a chase, successfully shook off the Police.

Some time ago, Superintendent Zhang Wenyao of the Serious Crimes Unit had arranged countless police forces to monitor and tail the Zha FIT Ren of Hong Lok and Hong Hing; now, it was too late to withdraw the police forces, so naturally, they could not catch the seven Tianyang siblings.

"Woo-hoo!" In the sedan, Tian Yangyi let out a cheer from the bottom of his heart!

"Finally safe!" Tian Yangzhi said to everyone with a smile from the passenger seat.

"Proceed according to the original plan; we are going to the agreed-upon location to meet with Superintendent Zhang," Tian Yangsheng said indifferently as he put away his AK47.

"Big Brother, since the money is already in hand, why don't we just go all the way and run for it?" Tian Yangyi said while loosening his muscles.

"I don't want to say it a second time; proceed according to the original plan."

Tian Yangsheng knew deep down that without the help of Zhang Wenyao, it would be very difficult for them to leave Hong Kong Island.
