326. Chapter 326: Just Making a Friend

After Da Fei left, Jin Shouzhi looked at Qian Wendi with a worried expression and said, "Wendi, are you really planning to do things for them?"

All along, this junior brother of his, Qian Wendi, had been the leader of their team.

Back when the two of them were learning their craft, Qian Wendi had the best talent and learned the most.

Coupled with a more flexible mind, Jin Shouzhi had gradually grown accustomed to this way of working together, with Qian Wendi taking the lead.

Qian Wendi said helplessly, "I'm afraid I have no choice; it's not like you don't know the power Hong Hing has in Hong Kong."

Although the two of them hadn't been in Hong Kong for long, they had heard plenty about how formidable Hong Hing was.

Lili said to Qian Wendi, "Then can't we just leave now?"

Jin Shouzhi nodded, "Yeah, let's stop worrying about these complicated matters and just leave."

Qian Wendi smiled and shook his head, "We've already entered the game; we can't get out anymore."

Unfortunately, neither Jin Shouzhi nor Lili believed him.

Qian Wendi had no choice but to take them along to demonstrate it personally.

He packed their luggage and took the two of them to the port, intending to smuggle themselves to Taiwan and then transfer to another country.

But just as they had arranged with the boat captain and everyone arrived at the seaside pier...

The boat captain did not appear; what appeared instead were several men in black.

"Where are you planning to go so late, Mr. Qian?" the men in black blocked their path and said with cold expressions.

Seeing the appearance of the men in black, Lili and Jin Shouzhi looked extremely panicked.

Qian Wendi spread his hands and said to Lili and Jin Shouzhi, "Do you know now?"

Having tried it once, Jin Shouzhi and Lili didn't dare to try again.

This kind of thing is fine once or twice, but testing it too much is just asking for a beating.

Qian Wendi comforted them, "Don't worry so much; just do things like we used to."

The two of them had no better options, so they could only start investigating Liu Yaozu as before.

Qian Wendi's team was still very careful in their work; before they were officially ready to make a move, they tried not to show their faces as much as possible.

Even the investigation was conducted in secret.

Soon, they found an entry point: Liu Yaozu's underground casino needed to hire a technical manager.

So, Jin Shouzhi used his identity as a successor of the Mainland Thousand Sect to successfully infiltrate Liu Yaozu's underground Gambling Hall.

After casually demonstrating his superb gambling skills, he was quickly hired by Liu Yaozu as the casino's Technical Director.

He was specifically responsible for issues related to gambling techniques in the casino.

Relying on his superb gambling skills, Jin Shouzhi also drove away many card sharps who wanted to come and make a quick buck, and for a time, he gained Liu Yaozu's deep trust.

Taking advantage of this time, Qian Wendi was also collecting all sorts of information on Liu Yaozu.

In his view, the guy that Hong Hing wasn't willing to deal with personally definitely wasn't some simple character.

Although he didn't want to delve into what kind of background the other party had, the necessary preparatory work still had to be done.

"Looks like this little card sharp is doing quite well." Chen Jiajun nodded with a smile after hearing Da Fei's report.

Da Fei said quite helplessly, "It's not bad, but it's too slow. I reckon it'll take several more months before Liu Yaozu takes the bait."

Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "No rush; haste makes waste. This is technical work, so let the professionals handle it themselves."

Da Fei nodded, then winked and said, "I got it, Boss. By the way, Boss, a batch of young models arrived recently; do you want to take a look?"

"Damn it," Chen Jiajun said irritably, "Do you think I'm as indiscriminate as you? Get lost."

"Huh? You're not even interested in this, Boss?" Da Fei said with some surprise, "Forget it then, I'll just enjoy them myself."

"Damn it, it's a real shame you didn't become a pimp. When I have time, I'm going to throw you into Sham Shui Po to be a pimp for a few years," Chen Jiajun joked and scolded.

Da Fei shrank his neck and immediately turned to leave.

Just as he stepped out, Da Fei bumped into Han Bin, who was walking in: "Hey, Binni Zai, long time no see. I heard you're planning to marry that tomboy Shisimei?"

"If A-Mei hears you, she'll hack you to death. Damn it," Han Bin said irritably, "I'll buy you a drink later, move aside for now. I have something to report to the Boss."

"OK," Da Fei nodded with a smile.

Ever since Ya Qi was transferred by Chen Jiajun to manage affairs in Macau, the matters concerning Su Xingbai and Yee Fung had been handed over to Han Bin.

The steady-natured Han Bin was more suited for this task than anyone else.

"Binni, you're here? Sit." Seeing Han Bin enter, Chen Jiajun immediately smiled and asked him to sit down: "In such a rush to find me, is there movement from Yee Fung?"

Han Bin nodded and said, "That kid Su Xingbai sent word that he has completely figured out Mo Yilie's drug-trafficking route. Moreover, this guy is very careful; he didn't even keep the Ketamine he brought back from Thailand in his own hands, but instead handed that side of things to his mistress, Ding Min."

"Oh?" Chen Jiajun raised an eyebrow and sneered, "No wonder the police can never find evidence against Mo Yilie."

Chen Jiajun had also talked to Li Shutang about this, but unfortunately, Li Shutang had already assigned a special task force to be responsible for Mo Yilie's case, yet they still hadn't caught any dirt on this guy. It's no wonder he could go from a penniless housing estate kid to where he is today; one has to say he is cunning and treacherous.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Jiajun said to Han Bin, "So, how is that kid Su Xingbai doing?"

Speaking of this, Han Bin immediately laughed: "No matter how monstrous a kid is, his experience is still shallow. After breaking up with La Jiang, his Ketamine business has been suppressed by La Jiang the whole time; it looks like he can't hold on much longer."

"On top of that, this kid was forced into his position by Mo Yilie in the first place. Aside from two loyal followers, he has no men and no territory; it's practically like he's been hollowed out. I reckon it won't be long before this kid comes to you for help."

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Young people, it's good to take a few tumbles. Otherwise, if the arrogance in his bones isn't ground away, how can I let him handle things in the future?"

Han Bin originally wanted to retort that Chen Jiajun didn't seem to be many years older than Su Xingbai.

But thinking about how his own boss also started from scratch and walked step by step to where he is today...

He was even able to take down a country and go toe-to-toe with an organization like MI6, so it didn't seem strange for him to say such things.

"Of course, how could that kid compare to you, Boss," Han Bin complimented with a smile.

"Alright, stop the flattery," Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "I heard you and Shisimei are about to tie the knot?"

Han Bin said somewhat bashfully, "It's true, we're not young anymore."

Chen Jiajun smiled and patted Han Bin on the shoulder, saying, "It's time to give Shisimei an answer. I'll send you a big gift when you two get married."

"Many thanks, Big Brother," Han Bin said hurriedly.

One must know that Chen Jiajun was never stingy when it came to treating his subordinates.

Ninety percent of the profits from Hung Hing's industries were handed over to them, and every year, the tribute they paid was a mere ten percent.

Compared to other societies, this could simply be called unparalleled benevolence and righteousness.

Therefore, everyone within Hung Hing was loyal and devoted, only concerned with doing their own jobs well.

"Alright, you should properly prepare for your wedding during this time; just help me keep an eye on that kid Su Xingbai when you have time."

Chen Jiajun smiled, waved his hand, and said.

Su Xingbai had indeed been having a very hard time lately; ever since he had bested La Jiang once using online channels, this guy had viewed him as a thorn in his side.

Su Xingbai knew that La Jiang also saw that it was Mo Yilie causing trouble behind the scenes, but situated in his position, it was absolutely impossible for him to give Su Xingbai a chance to get ahead.

After besting him by a notch last time by using online channels to move Ketamine, La Jiang had viewed him as a thorn in his side and a prick in his flesh.

He even didn't know what method was used to keep the police constantly watching him.

This resulted in him not being able to move much product at all this quarter.

With the big meeting approaching, La Jiang would certainly take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

By then, his situation within Yee Fung would become even more difficult.

Whenever he pondered this, Su Xingbai couldn't help but call people from Hung Hing for help several times.

But Su Xingbai vaguely felt that this was a test Chen Jiajun had given him; if he could overcome this difficulty, it might be of great benefit to him.

So, every time he picked up the phone, he couldn't help but put it back down.

Just as Su Xingbai was struggling, a group of people walked into the Bar; it was none other than La Jiang and his party.

"Eh, so free to be drinking here. Ah, that's right, anyway, there's no product to sell, what else can you do besides drink?" La Jiang mocked Su Xingbai with a chuckle.

Ever since the two formed a competitive relationship, the conflict had been brought out into the open.

Su Xingbai no longer stood on ceremony with La Jiang either, sneering as he said: "That's right. If it weren't for someone snitching, causing the CIB to follow me every day, how would it have ended up like this."

Hearing Su Xingbai's words, La Jiang's expression changed instantly, and he pointed at him, saying: "Kid, you'd better speak clearly; what evidence do you have that I snitched?"

"That's right, what evidence do you have?" La Jiang's underling, Liu Zhanglu, leaned over with a smug look.

This guy was previously Su Xingbai's Big Brother; when he had nowhere else to turn, he had once served under him.

It was just that this fellow was a total scumbag; he hadn't spared any effort in humiliating Su Xingbai when he saw him down on his luck, and now that he dared to jump in his face, it immediately made Su Xingbai snap.

Su Xingbai pressed Liu Zhanglu's head directly onto the bar counter, then grabbed a bottle of foreign liquor and smashed it down fiercely.

After a muffled thud mixed with Liu Zhanglu's screams, fresh blood immediately flowed all over the table.

La Jiang's expression turned gloomy instantly, and he said coldly: "Kid, are you planning to go to war with me?"

Su Xingbai very calmly threw away the broken bottle in his hand, then said coldly: "No, this is teaching you, Brother La Jiang, how to discipline your underlings. Ignoring the hierarchy of superior and inferior—it seems your level of teaching underlings isn't up to par, Brother La Jiang."

Hearing Su Xingbai's words, La Jiang's underlings immediately began to clamor.

Although Su Xingbai's current subordinates were still far inferior to La Jiang's, he had also recruited a few tough characters.

Among them was a fighter who came from Taiwan, Sun Shaolong, as well as his gang of thugs.

Seeing that a conflict had broken out between the two sides, Sun Shaolong immediately led his men to grab weapons and surround them; as soon as Su Xingbai gave the order, they would move immediately.

La Jiang was completely unafraid; he stopped his subordinates and said with Yin Yang sarcasm: "Liu Zhanglu was your Big Brother before, after all; is this how you treat a Big Brother? Oh, I remember now, I think I was also your Big Brother before, right? Are you planning to make a move on me too?"

Su Xingbai sneered and said: "Don't make it sound so nice; it was just a transaction, everyone took what they needed. Now I have been promoted to 42, Brother La Jiang."

"Sharp-tongued, let's see how long you can last." La Jiang snorted, pushed aside the encirclement of Su Xingbai's underlings, and led his men out.

After La Jiang left, Su Xingbai had people clean up, intending to think seriously about the subsequent matters.

At this moment, a man wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked over with a bottle of wine and sat down in front of Su Xingbai of his own accord, looking like a patron of the Bar.

"Hmm? Who are you?" Su Xingbai frowned as he looked at the guy in front of him.

The man smiled and said: "My name is Luo Wen, the Boss of a trading company. I heard that Big Brother Su has been having some trouble lately, right?"

Hearing the other party's words, Su Xingbai became vigilant on the spot: "Who are you? How do you know that?"

Seeing Su Xingbai's expression, Luo Wen smiled and said: "Big Brother Su, don't be agitated; I naturally have my channels. Now is not the time to investigate my identity, but whether you have thought about how to get out of this predicament."

Su Xingbai's eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at this Luo Wen in front of him.

Although he didn't know what the other party's identity was, he could tell that this guy had a lot of confidence.

After a moment of silence, Su Xingbai said: "Let's hear it."

Luo Wen immediately revealed a smile and said: "Your Yee Fung has been selling Ketamine very hotly lately, but you can't compete with La Jiang from the same society, right? I can help you use commercial means to crush the other party's sales channels, making those little drug addicts buy only your product, how about that?"

"You have this ability?" Su Xingbai said with some surprise.

"Of course, this requires some maneuvering," Luo Wen took a sip of wine and then continued.

Su Xingbai stared at the other party and said: "Then what is the price? What do I need to pay?"

"Nothing at all, it's free," Luo Wen said with a smile.

Su Xingbai became even more vigilant: "I've heard a saying before: the free ones are the most expensive."

Luo Wen smiled, shook his head, and said: "Big Brother Su, you are overthinking it; I just want to make a friend with you." (End of this chapter)
