293. Chapter 293: Yi Fong

Arriving at Lu Hantao's home, he found the old man was drinking tea.

Chen Jiajun sat down without ceremony, picked up a teacup, and drained it in one gulp.

Lu Hantao said irritably, "Letting a brat like you drink my good tea is truly a waste of heaven's gifts. My good tea is ruined."

"I'll have someone send you a few dozen catties later," Chen Jiajun said with a curl of his lip. "Stingy."

"Hmph. Where is A-Yu? Has she not come back again?" Lu Hantao said to Chen Jiajun, looking at him with obvious displeasure.

Chen Jiajun leaned back in his chair, looking like a rogue as he said, "With your attitude, if I were A-Yu, I wouldn't come back either. Who told you to keep lecturing her all day long?"

"I just don't want to see my daughter messing around with you in such an unclear way. Hmph," Lu Hantao said with a sour face.

After the two of them traded a few barbs, Lu Hantao said to Chen Jiajun, "What, are you here to sniff around about the Ding Rights issue too?"

"Ding Rights? What Ding Rights?" Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment.

"You don't know yet?" Lu Hantao said with a strange look on his face.

Chen Jiajun looked confused: "I really don't know. Is there some story behind it?"

Lu Hantao sighed and said, "This matter has to start from '72."

In 1972, the Hong Kong Government developed rural areas and, in order to appease the indigenous residents of the New Territories, granted special privileges to the male Ding of the New Territories.

From then on, every male Ding in the New Territories could build one three-story "Ding House" in his lifetime, with each floor not exceeding seven hundred square feet, and be exempt from land premiums.

This condition was fought for by Lu Hantao leading the villagers of the New Territories with guns in their hands.

It was a product born from forcing the Gweilo of England to compromise.

However, looking at it now, this condition has become somewhat outrageous.

There was already little usable land in Hong Kong, and land prices were rising with the tide; if things continued like this, the Yingjili Government would have no way to accept it, so they began to renegotiate the Ding House matter.

Chen Jiajun's heart stirred, and he said to Lu Hantao, "In other words, those Gweilo from England are determined to abolish this ordinance?"

Lu Hantao nodded and said, "I have held several meetings with those Gweilo. The other side's attitude is extremely firm; they are even willing to risk another riot just to force us to back down."

"I suspect this matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface; there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames. If I'm not mistaken, the Big Bosses of several real estate companies outside are definitely helping."

Although the Ding House matter allowed the residents of the New Territories to take quite a bit of advantage.

But everyone knew this advantage was limited.

Back then, those Gweilo from England saw that the villagers of the New Territories were poor and couldn't pull off any tricks.

Even with the special privilege, not many people had the money to build a Ding House.

But they didn't expect Chen Jiajun's sudden emergence, which greatly improved the living conditions of the New Territories villagers.

This led to the construction speed of Ding Houses far exceeding what those Gweilo had estimated, so naturally, they would find ways to cancel this ordinance.

"What do you think?" Chen Jiajun asked for Lu Hantao's thoughts.

Lu Hantao snorted coldly: "The New Territories is the territory of all of us in the New Territories; it's not a place where just anyone can come in and stir up trouble. Those real estate Big Bosses want to enter and get a slice of the pie? It won't be that easy."

Chen Jiajun pondered for a moment, tapped the table, and said, "Tao Shu, one thing at a time. Bargain by following the Gweilo's heels; drag it out for a while first."

"Hm? You have an idea?" Lu Hantao's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words.

To be honest, Lu Hantao had high seniority and was extremely prestigious throughout the New Territories.

But an arm cannot twist a thigh; even if the people of the New Territories had enough mettle to stir up another riot, it was estimated that this time they would not be a match for those Gweilo from England.

After all, the times had changed.

But the ability to keep those greedy real estate developers and Gweilo at bay was not non-existent.

It was just that they were short of money right now, and a very large sum of money at that.

If they had Chen Jiajun's help, this matter might not be without a chance.

After all, this son-in-law of his didn't have much else, but he had plenty of clever ideas and money.

After pondering for a while, Chen Jiajun said, "I'll go back and study it first; I'll give you an answer in a while."

Lu Hantao knew this was no small matter and nodded, saying, "No rush. The negotiations haven't ended yet; there is still time to maneuver."

Subsequently, Lu Hantao asked curiously, "Since you brat didn't come for the Ding Rights matter, then how do you have the time to come see this old man?"

"Isn't it because I heard your heart isn't good? A-Yu asked me to bring you some health supplements," Chen Jiajun said with a smile. "By the way, there's a triad in the New Territories that isn't very honest and has had contact with the Kunsha Group in the Golden Triangle. I'm having people come over to check their background."

"A triad? You mean Yi Fong?" Lu Hantao reacted quickly and said with disdain, "Mo Family Village produced such a piece of trash; I don't know where they find the face to pay respects to their ancestors."

Lu Hantao looked down on Yi Fong's smuggling, drug trafficking, and bullying of the villagers.

But Yi Fong happened to be very good at following the rules and never operated within Lu Hantao's sphere of influence.

So no matter how unhappy Lu Hantao was, he couldn't manage other people's business.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I haven't even put a small Yi Fong in my eyes, but the Kunsha Group behind them must be guarded against. You know, I've already dealt with these drug traffickers many times."

Lu Hantao exhorted, "I know you're capable, but you must also be careful. These drug traffickers have no humanity."

A cold light flashed in Chen Jiajun's eyes as he said, "Don't worry. I won't make a move unless I'm certain. If I do make a move, that will be their death day."

Just as Chen Jiajun was chatting with Lu Hantao, Ya Qi ran in and said to Chen Jiajun, "Boss, I've already found the kid you asked me to look for."

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun's eyes lit up immediately: "Did you bring him?"

"That might be a bit difficult," Ya Qi said helplessly. "The kid has already been arrested."

"Arrested? What happened?" Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment and said.

Ya Qi said with disdain, "This guy is the hottest fighter in Yi Fong recently, and he was with Mo Yilie's cousin, Mo Weili. It's just that this kid was too prominent and was backstabbed by his own boss."

"This kid is also unlucky to have followed such a big boss. Not only was his leg broken by Mo Weili, but now he's also being framed for several crimes, including serious ones like armed fighting and drug possession."

"If no one helps him, he'll probably have to spend over a decade in prison."

Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "Country triads only have this much vision; they can't even tolerate one of their own fighters. Ya Qi, take a Lawyer to bail that kid out and bring him to see me."

Ya Qi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, I've never understood why you're paying attention to such a little brat. He doesn't seem to have anything special; you can grab a handful of fighters like this in Hung Hing."

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "You said it yourself, 'fighter.' Hung Hing certainly doesn't lack fighters, but it does lack gangsters who use their brains."

"If he were that smart, would he be plotted against by his own boss?" Ya Qi said, somewhat disbelieving.

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Did you notice his background?"

Ya Qi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly flipped through Su Xingbai's file.

"So he comes from a wealthy family, and he even went to university?" Ya Qi was stunned on the spot: "You really can't tell at all."

"You can't judge a book by its cover. Go on." Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said.

Ya Qi nodded, then went down to handle the matter.

At this time, inside the detention room of the Dapu Police Station.

Su Xingbai lay on the bed, staring blankly at his short leg.

He could not understand why, when he was about to rise to power in Yi Feng, he had ended up in such a state.

He also did not understand why, after he had fought tooth and nail for Mo Weili and seized quite a bit of territory, he had suddenly been backstabbed.

A moment later, a man wearing a suit walked in.

He looked at Su Xingbai on the hospital bed and said, "Mike, your case is too serious; there is nothing I can do."

The man speaking was a former good friend of Su Xingbai's father, called Mr. Ma.

He himself had no connection to any triad; he was just an ordinary small businessman.

Upon learning that something had happened to Su Xingbai, he had come to the Police Station at the first opportunity to try and post bail.

But unfortunately, Su Xingbai was facing several felony charges, and the bail alone would cost several hundred thousand.

For Mr. Ma, this was already beyond his financial capacity.

Su Xingbai smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "It's alright, Uncle Ma, I had already expected this."

He was someone who had mixed in the underworld, and he had also once been a top student at Hong Kong University.

Naturally, he knew how heavy the charges against him were, so he had never thought of troubling his father's friend.

Mr. Ma sighed and said, "I will go and think of other ways. Even if I can't get you out immediately, I might be able to get your sentence reduced. When you get out, stop mixing in that life and come help me at the factory."

Su Xingbai did not agree to Mr. Ma, but instead asked with a gloomy expression, "What about Keke?"

"She is outside." Mr. Ma shook his head and said, "I will come to see you again in a while."

After Mr. Ma walked out of the detention room, a beautiful woman walked in.

The woman was named Yao Keke, and she was Su Xingbai's childhood sweetheart; the two had originally planned to get married after some time.

"Keke, do you have a way to get me out?" Su Xingbai asked urgently.

Yao Keke was a Lawyer, and unlike Su Xingbai, she had entered a law firm after graduating.

Yao Keke looked at Su Xingbai, slowly shook her head, and said, "I have no way. Let's break up."

Having reached this point, Yao Keke appeared extremely cold and proposed the breakup on the spot.

Su Xingbai laughed in extreme anger and threw his pillow at her: "Get out."

"I will find a way to pay you back for the tuition money," Yao Keke said, then turned and left the detention room.

After Yao Keke left, Su Xingbai had fallen into despair.

His status in the triad was gone, his girlfriend was gone, and there was no need to think about his future anymore.

He wanted to avenge his father, but he feared that would be impossible for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Su Xingbai even had thoughts of suicide.

But just at this moment, the door to the detention room was pushed open again.

A Police officer wearing a uniform said to Su Xingbai, "Su Xingbai, someone has come to post your bail."

"What?" Su Xingbai was stunned on the spot and said to the Police officer, "I didn't hear you clearly just now, can you say that again?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you've been bailed out. Do you want to stay here?" the Police officer said irritably, "An ambulance will take you to the hospital in a moment."

Su Xingbai was suddenly overjoyed, then asked with some curiosity, "Can I know who came to bail me out?"

"How would I know?" the Police officer said impatiently, "You'll know when you get to the hospital later, don't talk nonsense now."

The Police officer walked up to Su Xingbai and unlocked his handcuffs.

Shortly after, a team of medical staff walked in, lifted him onto a stretcher, and sent him to the hospital.

Along the way, Su Xingbai racked his brains but could not think of who would specifically come to save him.

One had to know that bailing him out of the Police Station required a significant sum of money.

However, Su Xingbai also felt a bit of secret joy in his heart.

If someone saved him, it meant he was still useful.

He believed that with his ability, he could pay off this debt sooner or later and then complete his revenge.

After being transferred to the hospital, Su Xingbai was arranged into a special care ward.

Not only could he stay in a single room here, but the service was also very comfortable.

Every half hour, a nurse would come to check on his condition.

By that afternoon, the mysterious person who saved him finally appeared.

"Su Xingbai, right?" Ya Qi sat down directly in front of the hospital bed and looked the kid in front of him up and down.

Anyone who could be favored by his boss definitely wasn't simple.

Su Xingbai felt his skin crawl under Ya Qi's gaze; he felt as if this person's eyes could pierce right through him.

"Are you the one who bailed me out of the Police Station?" Su Xingbai asked directly.

Ya Qi said indifferently, "No, it was my boss. Our boss intends to have a talk with you."

Su Xingbai took a deep breath and said, "What do you need me to do?"

Ya Qi smiled and said, "No rush, we'll talk once you've fully recovered. A cripple can't do things for my boss."

Su Xingbai took a deep breath and said, "My lower leg has a comminuted fracture; it will take a large sum of money to heal."

"Money is nothing to my boss, as long as you are worth the price," Ya Qi grinned and said. "But if you aren't worth this money, we have ways to take back everything invested in you."

Facing Ya Qi's malicious gaze, Su Xingbai suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand up.

However, Su Xingbai quickly calmed down; he currently had no ability to bargain, nor even the right to refuse.

Because once he refused the other party's proposal, he, Su Xingbai, would truly be worthless.

So Su Xingbai said very earnestly: "Help me tell your boss that I can earn back the investment in me a thousand or ten thousand times over in the future."

"Heh," Ya Qi chuckled and said, "Big talk is meaningless; let's wait and see. Rest assured and stay here; I will be responsible for all your expenses from now on until you recover."

"Many thanks," Su Xingbai nodded.

Ya Qi did not stay long; after saying this, he left directly.

He was quite busy now; after returning to report to Chen Jiajun, he still needed to monitor the work of two drug lords.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Su Xingbai's leg had entered the recovery period; although he still couldn't walk normally, he could already be discharged from the hospital.

He kept every expense in the hospital in his heart, including the amount used to bail him out.

And just on this day, Ya Qi appeared again to pick him up.

"Let's go, I'm taking you to see my boss," Ya Qi said indifferently.

Seeing the luxurious business car in front of him, Su Xingbai felt a bit uneasy.

Clearly, the person who saved him was not a simple character.

After getting in the car, just as Su Xingbai was about to speak, he was directly interrupted by Ya Qi: "Don't ask questions; you will naturally know once we arrive at the place."

Su Xingbai could only close his mouth, carrying a belly full of questions.

Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the Guojun Group building.

Looking at the high-rise in front of him, Su Xingbai looked at Ya Qi with a face full of surprise, gasped, and said: "Wait, the one I'm meeting wouldn't be that person, would it?"

Whose property the Guojun Group was, he believed no one in Hong Kong would not know.

And for those in the underworld, it was even more thunderous to the ears.

One had to know that Chen Jiajun was the role model and target of pursuit for every gangster in Hong Kong.

Ya Qi did not speak, only taking Su Xingbai into the elevator and then coming directly to the Chairman's office on the top floor.

"Go in," Ya Qi did not enter, only instructing: "The boss hates it most when someone disturbs him while he is working; you had best wait until he finishes his work before speaking."

Su Xingbai nodded and then walked into the office.

Chen Jiajun's office was not luxurious; on the contrary, it was very modern.

Apart from being simple and bright, it had no other features.

At this time, Chen Jiajun was processing some official documents, so Su Xingbai had to stand to the side and silently wait for Chen Jiajun to finish the work in his hands.

Half an hour later, Chen Jiajun put down the fountain pen in his hand, rubbed his somewhat stiff neck, and only then saw Su Xingbai leaning on a crutch.

He couldn't help but chuckle and say: "Can't you just find a place to sit down?"

Su Xingbai took a deep breath and said to Chen Jiajun with a smile: "In front of Sir Chen, how would a small character like me dare to sit down before you have spoken?"

Chen Jiajun sized up Su Xingbai and said: "A smart person, and your speech is very slick. You indeed possess a maturity that exceeds your age. I think you should be able to handle the next matter for me."

"Sir Chen, please give your orders."

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Su Xingbai did not make any empty boasts.

From the short two sentences just now, he could roughly tell what kind of personality Chen Jiajun had.

This boss of his liked people who did practical work and did not like those who flattered him.

This point was exactly what Su Xingbai liked as well.

To be honest, facing Chen Jiajun, besides feeling a bit uneasy, Su Xingbai was even a little excited.

Because being able to work for Chen Jiajun was something countless gangsters wouldn't even dare to imagine.

If the matter was handled well, the benefits might be even greater than the Yifeng branch leader position he had anticipated.

Chen Jiajun said: "You were from Yifeng before, right? Who was the boss you followed?"

"Mo Weili, the cousin of the branch leader Mo Yilie," when Su Xingbai mentioned this name, a venomous look couldn't help but emerge in his eyes.

He would never forget the matter of his leg being crippled by his own boss after he was betrayed.

If there was a chance, he would definitely pay it back tenfold.

Chen Jiajun nodded and then said to Su Xingbai: "I need you to go back to Yifeng and climb as high as you can, until you reach the point where you can be heavily used by Mo Yilie. And be quick."

"Ah?" Su Xingbai was stunned for a moment upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words.

"What? Is it difficult?" Chen Jiajun looked at him with a half-smile.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xingbai said to Chen Jiajun: "I was too prominent before and offended Mo Weili; as long as there is his suppression, even if I return to Yifeng, it is completely impossible for me to be heavily used."

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "Therefore, that depends on your ability. I am a simple person; I only look at results when doing things. As for the process, it is not important to me."

Su Xingbai hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, Sir Chen."

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Of course, I won't just let you drag a broken leg to do this. If you need money, I'll give you money; if you need intelligence, I'll give you intelligence. There is only one point: make contact with Mo Yilie, and make contact with the core of Mo Yilie's drug trafficking."

Hearing Chen Jiajun say this, Su Xingbai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he had Chen Jiajun's support, this matter was not a very difficult thing for him.

Chen Jiajun threw a business card to Su Xingbai and said: "If you need anything, you can contact Ya Qi; he will help you get it done."

"Understood, Sir Chen," Su Xingbai nodded and put away the business card.

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "From now on, call me Boss."

"Yes, Boss." (End of chapter)
