Chapter 257: The Gweilo Will Not Give Up Easily

The next morning, the Hong Kong Police Force went straight crazy.

Dozens of homicides occurred in a single night, with no connection between them, directly causing a massive uproar.

Especially the top brass of the Police Force, who had been investigating whether some major event had occurred.

Meanwhile, at the Government House.

Youde's phone was about to be blown up; besides calls from the Motherland, there were also calls from the United States.

This move completely bewildered Youde, and even now, he still didn't know what had happened.

After he summoned his Secretary and inquired about the situation.

Even Youde couldn't help but gasp: "Is this Chen Jiajun crazy?"

All along, the impression Chen Jiajun gave people had been quite decent.

Although he was once a Dragon Head of a triad, at least his actions weren't outrageous.

But this time, let alone others, even the Governor was terrified.

With one move, he wiped out all the CIA strongholds, directly infuriating the person in charge of the CIA for Asia to the point of near-death.

Yet, they had no way to do anything to Chen Jiajun.

Because based on the capabilities he had currently displayed, saying he would eradicate all CIA contact points in Southeast Asia was not a boast, but something he truly had the ability to achieve.

"Who can tell me, why are a bunch of street punks... oh, according to the Hong Kong term, 'Gweilo'—no, 'triad members'—why are they so strong?" the CIA person in charge, Mars, roared at his Information Officer.

Regarding the combat power displayed by Chen Jiajun's subordinates, the CIA people were truly afraid.

One must know that Hung Hing had over a hundred thousand members; if they all had this kind of combat power...

Mars shook his head; this was obviously an impossible thing.

Seeing his Information Officer lowering his head, Mars was suddenly overcome with rage: "Raise Chen Jiajun's danger level to the highest; I need the distribution of all his companies' assets and forces."

Not only did the CIA raise Chen Jiajun's danger level, but the Gweilo from England were also extremely wary of Chen Jiajun.

If he could wipe out all CIA contact points in Hong Kong overnight, then, thinking laterally, could he also wipe out MI6's contact points?

Chen Jiajun had bared his fangs to everyone, and England immediately adjusted its strategy toward Chen Jiajun.

The previous low-class methods of coercion and threats were completely abandoned.

"Boss, your actions have really scared these Gweilo."

Lao Yu, being in the Information Department, naturally collected the news very quickly.

Chen Jiajun smiled faintly: "As expected, we have kept a low profile for long enough."

"Boss, what about next?" Lao Yu asked tentatively.

Chen Jiajun glanced at Lao Yu and said with a smile: "You all should recuperate during this time; there might be a tough battle to fight next."

Although wiping out the CIA strongholds directly made these Gweilo somewhat hesitant to act.

But Chen Jiajun knew the nature of these Gweilo; they would not give up so easily.

On Brunei Island, Li Yaohua's work was proceeding in full swing.

With a big financier like Chen Jiajun, life in Brunei was even better than before.

With Chen Jiajun's connections, products produced locally in Brunei could enter Hong Kong through Chen Jiajun's logistics company and then be sold to the whole world.

And the China Light and Power Company under Chen Jiajun's name also built a complete power system for Brunei.

Once the power system was completed, enterprises like Tesla, Guojun Electronics, and Guojun Garment Factory would gradually move over, and by then, Brunei would truly become Chen Jiajun's backyard.

Because of the vigorous economic development, Li Yaohua's reputation in Brunei was excellent, and his prestige was so high that no one could shake his position.

Those ambitious people who originally had other ideas could only put away their ambitions and cooperate with Li Yaohua's work.

However, even so, several things had happened recently that made Li Yaohua somewhat unhappy.

"So you mean, someone is selling Laundry Powder in Brunei?"

Hearing this news, Li Yaohua appeared very angry.

The Staff Member Katuo nodded: "And it is being distributed directly to the workers to offset part of their wages. According to them, this makes the workers more motivated to work the next day."

"Bullshit," Li Yaohua said coldly.

How did the Li Family come to Brunei? Wasn't it because of the remnants of the Manchu Qing?

Therefore, the first rule of the Li Family's ancestral teachings was that no descendant of the family was allowed to touch these things.

Once discovered, they would not only be expelled from the family but would also be removed from the family genealogy.

So Li Yaohua could be said to detest these things deeply.

"Have you found out who is dealing with these things?" Li Yaohua said coldly to Katuo, clearly having developed a murderous intent.

Having worked by Li Yaohua's side for such a long time, Katuo knew that this President had developed a murderous intent.

He hurriedly said: "We are investigating, but... this matter involves quite a few families; if we take action, I am afraid it will break the order we have worked so hard to establish."

Li Yaohua glanced at Katuo coldly and said: "What? You are speaking so well for these guys; are you involved too?"

Seeing Li Yaohua's icy gaze, a chill suddenly surged up Katuo's back.

Katuo hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Mr. President, I absolutely did not participate in this matter."

"Hmph." Li Yaohua gave a cold snort, which counted as believing Katuo's words.

After all, as one of his more capable subordinates, Li Yaohua had always kept his eyes on them.

Katuo continued: "This matter involves almost every factory and every plantation; if we punish them all at once, it will easily incite their dissatisfaction."

Li Yaohua lit a cigarette and said quite irritably: "You go find the source first; as for these bastards, I will deal with them after I have time."

Hearing that Li Yaohua did not take action on the spot, Katuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Brunei was now thriving, and no one wanted to return to the way it was when Richard was in power.

After Katuo left, Li Yaohua dialed He Guorong's phone number directly.

"Mr. President, it seems you have encountered some trouble?" He Guorong's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Li Yaohua did not stand on ceremony and said directly: "Recently, many factory owners and plantation owners here have started engaging in the Laundry Powder business, and are even using these things to pay workers instead of wages. I feel someone is targeting us."

"Is it that serious?" He Guorong said with some surprise.

Li Yaohua nodded and said: "Yes, and many people are involved. This matter might affect the Boss's plans."

"Killing people alone definitely won't be useful this time."

He Guorong also understood the gravity of this matter and said to Li Yaohua: "Alright, I will have the people from the Political Department start an investigation immediately, and I will also notify the Boss."

"Then I will trouble you," Li Yaohua said solemnly.

Soon, He Guorong reported the matter in Boni to Chen Jiajun.

This matter was indeed not small and concerned Chen Jiajun's subsequent investments; no one dared to delay.

"They really made a move, those damn United States Gweilo," Chen Jiajun said with a gloomy expression.

He Guorong was a bit curious: "How did you know it was the people from the United States who made the move?"

"Because I wiped out all the intelligence stations of the United States Gweilo in Hong Kong a few days ago," Chen Jiajun said calmly.

He Guorong was shocked for a moment, then said with an expression of admiration: "Boss, are you preparing to go to war with the people from the United States?"

"That's right, the war has already begun. Since they made the first move, I naturally won't be polite," Chen Jiajun said coldly: "Have Long Wu and the others investigate this matter secretly."

With the previous manpower of the Political Department added to the strength of the Security Company, there was no pressure in settling the matter in Boni; as for the methods of the CIA, Chen Jiajun would naturally strike back hard.

With Long Wu leading the team to investigate this matter, things would become very simple.

Everyone knew that this taciturn man before them was the bloodiest executioner under Li Yaohua.

"Fifth... Fifth Master, why have you come? Please, come in quickly."

The shopkeeper tremblingly invited Long Wu and the others into the shop, then told his subordinates to serve tea.

Although they had entered modern society, these merchants still followed the forms of address of the older generation.

Long Wu sat down but did not touch the tea and snacks the shopkeeper had brought: "No need. I've just come to ask one question. If you answer well, I'll turn around and leave; if you don't answer well... I'll save a spot for you in the Black Prison."

Hearing Long Wu's words, the fat on the shopkeeper's face trembled, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead continuously: "This... Fifth Master, it would be better to ask our master about such things."

"Then have your master come over. I will only wait ten minutes," Long Wu said calmly.

The shopkeeper did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately called to ask his master to come over.

A moment later, a middle-aged man wearing a suit appeared in the shop, panting.

"Fifth Master, do you have something you need from me?" The master lowered his posture and said, nodding and bowing.

Long Wu nodded: "I heard that you all don't pay your workers money anymore, but have switched to paying them in Laundry Powder, is that right?"

Hearing this from Long Wu, the master's expression changed instantly, and he said with a fawning smile: "Fifth Master, you don't know, it was some people who requested it voluntarily; we had no choice either."

"So you all coordinated your stories, intending to shift the blame onto those workers and farmers doing the work?" Long Wu sneered and said: "Don't forget what happened to the last person who tried to fool the President like this."

"I'll give you one more chance. Speak properly."

Hearing Long Wu's words, the master finally couldn't hold it together: "Fifth Master, this matter really has nothing to do with us. It was... it was the Ma Family brothers who suggested I do this."

"The Ma Family brothers? In other words, you don't know who is behind this?" Long Wu suddenly changed his expression, slapped the wooden table in front of him until it fell apart, and scolded sternly: "Are you treating me like a fool?"

The master and the shopkeeper were both so frightened they nearly sat on the ground.

They looked at Long Wu with terror on their faces.

Long Wu said coldly: "Who exactly is the one behind all of this? Who did you get the goods from? Speak. Otherwise, you'll be choosing the hard way instead of the easy way."

As he spoke, the members of the Political Department stood up and directly closed the shop door.

The master was a coward; seeing this scene, he was scared out of his wits and hurriedly waved his hands, saying: "Fifth Master, please calm your anger, I'll talk!"

"The goods were sent by the Ma Family brothers. I really don't know who is behind them, but I do know they have a factory in the south that seems to be making Laundry Powder."

Hearing this fellow's account, Long Wu finally found some of the things he wanted.

"You're sensible," Long Wu kicked the master aside, then said to his subordinates: "Control them first. Do not allow them to have contact with anyone."

Although the shop had been taken over by the people from the Political Department, the fact that they hadn't been sent to the Black Prison gave the master and the shopkeeper a sense of relief.

Returning to the Political Department's office building, Long Jiu returned first, having investigated about the same as Long Wu.

Both pointed the finger in the direction of the Ma Family brothers.

"Big Brother, since the people have been found, let's take action directly," Long Jiu proposed directly.

Long Wu pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry. Report this matter to the President first. By the way, have you controlled all those merchants you investigated? You cannot let them communicate with each other."

Long Jiu nodded: "They were controlled long ago."

"Very good. I am going to the Presidential Palace," Long Wu nodded and drove directly to the Presidential Palace.

Arriving at Richard's office without any obstruction, Long Wu reported the matter to Li Yaohua.

"The Ma Family brothers? I've heard of them," Li Yaohua said coldly: "I heard he has been doing business with the Philippines. It seems this batch of Laundry Powder should have come from there."

"Fifth Brother, work hard tonight. Take some men to raid their factory. You must find conclusive evidence."

Long Wu nodded and said: "I understand."

At night, the suburbs in the south of Boni.

Inside the Ma Family brothers' factory.

To avoid inspection, this factory of the Ma Family brothers generally operated at night, and they had arranged for men at the main entrance to guard against any surprise attacks at any time.

Soon, the time entered the dead of night, which was also the busiest time for the factory.

Even two of the gate guards were called down to help.

But just at this moment, a utility vehicle drove over and stopped at the factory entrance.

This immediately aroused the vigilance of the gate guards: "What are you here for?"

Two people stepped out of the utility vehicle, carrying toolboxes, and said to the people at the gate: "Open up, we're here to check the electric meter."

"Check the electric meter? At this hour?" the gatekeeper said with a suspicious look on his face.

Two hidden sentries in the shadows pointed their guns directly at the two people wearing work uniforms.

"You think we want to be here?" the worker complained. "It's because your factory's power consumption has spiked recently, and the higher-ups are worried about potential electrical issues, so they sent us to check. Stop talking nonsense, open the gate quickly, and let us finish the inspection so we can leave."

The gatekeeper remained vigilant: "Wait a moment."

"Ugh, what a hassle," the power company worker complained.

But it was precisely this kind of complaint that prevented anyone from becoming suspicious.

Soon, the person in charge walked out. After hearing about the situation at the gate, he smiled and offered them cigarettes: "I'm really sorry to have made you run out here in the middle of the night."

Since one doesn't hit a smiling face, the two workers couldn't say much more; they took the cigarettes and followed the person in charge into the factory.

"The factory is currently in operation; you two should go to the power room." The person in charge did not let them go to the workshop, but instead led them into the power room.

Before coming in, the person in charge had already checked the two; apart from the toolboxes in their hands, they were not carrying any other weapons.

Just as the person in charge was about to ask some questions regarding the electricity, he saw the two power company workers open their toolboxes, but inside were not tools, but two handguns equipped with silencers.

The person in charge widened his eyes instantly, intending to shout loudly to raise the alarm.

But the Political Department members disguised as power company staff would not give them that chance.

"Whew, this excuse of checking the electric meter is actually quite useful." The Political Department member whistled, then tossed several corpses aside.

"Enough talk, let's get to work." The other member walked straight into the power room and cut off the factory's power completely.

As the lights inside the factory went out, it caused a wave of panic.

Long Wu, who was lying in wait outside, knew the opportunity had arrived and immediately led his men to charge toward the factory.

Since they had already succeeded, Long Wu and his men no longer held back, directly opening fire to take down the panicked guards.

By the time the lights were turned back on, Long Wu and his men had already taken control of the entire factory.

"Are the communications cut off?" Long Wu looked at his two subordinates wearing power company uniforms and said coldly.

"Boss, don't worry, it's all been taken care of." The two nodded hurriedly.

Long Wu nodded, then led his men into the factory.

At this moment, the workers inside the factory were still in a daze, and it was only when they saw Long Wu and the other Political Department members walk in with guns that they realized something was wrong.

After shooting and killing two people who tried to resist, everyone else quieted down and crouched on the ground with their hands on their heads.

Long Wu walked into the factory's workshop and, sure enough, saw the Laundry Powder raw materials that hadn't been processed yet, as well as the things used to dilute the raw materials.

Now that the suspects and the evidence were caught together, there was nothing left to say.

Li Yaohua also acted quickly, immediately sending his subordinate Police to the homes of the Ma brothers, preparing to apprehend the two.

As for the factory side, Long Wu and his men took over and arrested everyone involved in this matter.

What awaited these people was the terrifying Black Prison of Brunei.
