347. Chapter 347: The Heroic Dragon of Innocence

Seeing Diana's expression, Bai Lu immediately smiled and said, "Thought of it? I believe the people you've messed with before, or the competitors you've offended, definitely won't let you off easily, right? Want to guess what will happen next?"

"Oh. Don't think about going to jail; Lawyer Tang is very skilled, he can absolutely help you avoid the disaster of imprisonment and let you walk out of the Police Station empty-handed."

Diana was finally terrified now; she panicked and knelt directly in front of Bai Lu, saying, "No, no, you can't do this."

Bai Lu's words had cut off her last straw of hope.

If she were really released now, that would be the most miserable outcome.

But there was not a hint of pity in Bai Lu's eyes.

Just the single act of her hiring a killer to assassinate Chen Jiajun was enough for Bai Lu to sentence her to death.

So Bai Lu lightly kicked Diana away and said very coldly, "Enjoy the feast to come, Ms. Diana."

After finishing, she left the Interrogation Room without even looking back.

A few days later, the court ruled that because Diana's case was merely covering for Guan Youbo and did not cause too much negative impact, she was sentenced to pay for the losses of the Global Jiahui Investment Company and given three months of community service to settle the matter.

Even though Diana loudly demanded that the judge lock her in prison, the judge did not do so and upheld the original verdict.

So, not long after, she was released by the court.

It was just that her mansion, savings, and the funds under her name had all been seized for auction.

Aside from the fine clothes she was wearing and a few thousand dollars in cash, she could be said to have nothing at all.

What would greet her next, no one knew.

Only, as she walked out of the detention room, a passerby shoved a flyer into her hand.

The flyer clearly had an advertisement for "Castle Peak Hospital" written on it.

This seemed to be her final choice.

Chen Jiajun did not pay too much attention to Diana's affairs.

Just a crazy woman; once he used his connections to handle it and got a result, that was enough.

Looking at the photo Bai Lu sent him, Chen Jiajun revealed a smile and considered this matter closed.

He called his Secretary to prepare the car, ready to head out to meet an old friend.

He drove to Shatoujiao.

Shatoujiao is located at the intersection of the eastern Yantian Qu of Longkou and the New Territories North of Hong Kong.

It had previously been a restricted area, but it was approved for opening in '84.

Quite a few merchants had already set their sights on this place and started doing business.

Chen Jiajun stopped at a reef by the sea, then got out of the car and lit a cigarette, as if waiting for someone.

After a long while, a fishing boat arrived, and then a familiar figure appeared before Chen Jiajun.

This person was none other than Yang Jianhua, who had dealt with Chen Jiajun before.

Only, beside Yang Jianhua, there was also a slouching man following along.

"Comrade Yang Jianhua, long time no see." Chen Jiajun reached out his hand, shook hands with Yang Jianhua, and then looked at the man beside her, saying, "Who is this?"

Yang Jianhua looked left and right, then lowered her voice and said, "Let's talk after we get in the car."

Chen Jiajun nodded, then invited the two of them into his car.

Seeing there was no driver in the car, Yang Jianhua said in surprise, "Sir Chen, you didn't have a driver come?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Since Boss Song told me it was an important matter, I naturally came by myself."

With her development over the past few years and her meritorious service last time, Yang Jianhua had by now been transferred from the International Criminal Police Organization to work under Boss Song.

That was why Chen Jiajun had come in person to take this trip, to hear exactly what important matter it was.

"So that's how it is." Yang Jianhua nodded, then introduced the man beside her: "This is Comrade Gong Wei, a special agent of the Mainland Police."

"Hello, Comrade Gong Wei." Chen Jiajun shook hands with Gong Wei.

Gong Wei smiled and said, "Hearing the word 'comrade' come out of the mouth of a Big Boss like you is truly quite novel, and your Mandarin is very good; you could even take a proficiency test."

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "You'll know later; there are still quite a few patriots in Hong Kong."

Yang Jianhua interrupted their conversation and said irritably, "Less small talk, let's hurry up."

Only then did Gong Wei shut his mouth and stop discussing the issue of Hong Kong patriots with Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "I heard Boss Song has an important matter that needs my assistance; it wasn't very clear over the phone. What exactly is going on?"

Yang Jianhua's expression immediately turned serious: "There is a criminal syndicate leader named Fu Guang. This guy specializes in some arms and Laundry Powder business, and incidentally acts as a robber."

"This guy, through some unknown channel, smuggled a batch of cultural relics just unearthed in the Mainland. And every single one is a national treasure-level item; he plans to auction them in Hong Kong."

"You also know that our identities make it inconvenient for us to operate in Hong Kong, so we wanted to ask Mr. Chen for a favor."

Chen Jiajun frowned and said, "You want me to help you seize back the cultural relics? That's not easy to handle."

This wasn't Chen Jiajun making excuses, but rather that this matter was indeed very difficult.

It is not easy for so many people in Hong Kong to investigate a group of guys carrying cultural relics.

And if handled poorly, it is very easy to cause trouble; after all, those cultural relics are all precious and fragile things.

For Chen Jiajun, it was indeed a thorny task.

Yang Jianhua shook her head and said, "No, we naturally have ways to get the cultural relics back, and this is Gong Wei's mission; what we need is for Mr. Chen to provide us with certain support in Hong Kong."

Hearing Yang Jianhua say this, Chen Jiajun agreed without a second thought: "No problem, I can give you all the support you need, including intelligence and manpower. Even if you need me to spend money to buy those cultural relics, it's no problem at all."

Chen Jiajun did not want to watch these national treasures drift away; after all, too many things had already been lost before.

Hearing Chen Jiajun agree so readily, Yang Jianhua was also very happy: "Then on behalf of the organization, I thank Mr. Chen."

After the two sides finished talking, Yang Jianhua left with Gong Wei, while Chen Jiajun called the people from his Information Department to start investigating this matter, especially that leader, Fu Guang.

Nowadays, under Silva's restructuring, the capabilities of the Information Department were much stronger.

Investigating a person was no longer a difficult task.

As Yang Jianhua and Gong Wei returned from Shatoujiao, Gong Wei said with some worry: "Section Chief Yang, is this Mr. Chen really reliable? Why do I feel like he's just bragging?"

It was no wonder Gong Wei thought this way, because Chen Jiajun had appeared overly low-key today.

Yang Jianhua smiled without answering and said: "Once you arrive in Hong Kong, you will understand that Mr. Chen's influence. Is everything settled at home?"

Gong Wei complained: "That Bureau Chief Qi or whatever is too impatient. He had my colleagues come to arrest me right while I was saying goodbye to my family. How will my wife and son be able to hold their heads up in front of the neighbors in the future?"

Yang Jianhua had not expected such twists and turns, and said in surprise: "There was such a thing?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?" Gong Wei said with dissatisfaction.

After a moment of silence, Yang Jianhua said: "Like this, you finish the mission first, and I will take care of your wife and son. After you finish the mission and return, I will personally have someone restore your reputation."

"You promised that, okay." Only then did Gong Wei reveal a happy expression.

The next day, Gong Wei was sent to prison and locked in a room with a lackey of Fu Guang's team who had been arrested.

This lackey was named Xiao Hei, and he had been hanging around with Fu Guang's group for a long time.

If one wanted to infiltrate Fu Guang's team, this guy was the best entry point.

Therefore, Gong Wei, who had been locked in prison, soon became familiar with Xiao Hei, and while the two were chatting, Gong Wei brought up the idea of escaping from prison.

"If we get caught, we'll be executed by firing squad, right?" Xiao Hei said with some worry.

Gong Wei sneered and said: "You talk in such a roundabout way, you must be someone from the underworld too, right? If the Police find out about the things you committed before, do you guess you'll be executed by firing squad?"

Hearing Gong Wei's words, Xiao Hei fell silent: "What do you plan to do?"

Gong Wei smiled and said: "I know this place like the back of my hand; you just need to cooperate with me when the time comes."

Later, when the prison guard was delivering food, Gong Wei suddenly made a move to hold Xiao Hei hostage and made Xiao Hei pretend to scream.

After the prison guard opened the prison door, Gong Wei suddenly lunged forward and knocked the prison guard unconscious.

Then, dragging Xiao Hei, he ran wildly, rushing toward a corner of the prison.

Xiao Hei's heart was about to jump out of his chest at this moment, and he didn't even notice that the prison guard force today was extremely weak; he had run for a long time without seeing the usual guards.

It wasn't until they reached the corner of the prison that a large number of prison guards chased after them.

Gong Wei kicked open a piece of corroded steel rebar, revealing a passage, then pushed Xiao Hei inside, and then he himself escaped from the prison grounds.

Watching the barking of police dogs coming from afar, Gong Wei shouted anxiously at Xiao Hei: "Run! You idiot."

The two fled for a while and finally escaped from the pursuit of the prison guards.

Xiao Hei let out a long sigh of relief and said to Gong Wei: "No one is chasing us, let's take a break."

"If you want to rest, rest by yourself. I'm telling you, they will definitely conduct a carpet search here in a moment. If we get caught later, we'll probably get an expedited sentence." Gong Wei snorted coldly.

Xiao Hei had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Gong Wei as he continued to walk.

Before leaving, Gong Wei went home once to see his wife and son.

Xiao Hei said with a look of surprise: "You have a family, why are you risking your life?"

Gong Wei shook his head and said: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Let's go. We'll part ways when we reach the town."

Xiao Hei immediately became interested and asked carefully: "Where are you planning to go?"

"Planning to try my luck in Southeast Asia." Gong Wei frowned and said: "Why are you asking this? Planning to snitch?"

Xiao Hei quickly waved his hands and said: "How could that be? The most important thing for us in the underworld is loyalty. I wanted to ask you, if you really have nowhere to go, come to Hong Kong with me to make a living."

"Hong Kong?" Upon hearing this word, Gong Wei immediately revealed a faint, imperceptible smile, then pretended to be hesitant and said: "I'm not familiar with the place, I'd better go to Southeast Asia."

"You're not familiar, but I am." Xiao Hei put his arm around Gong Wei's shoulder and said: "My boss has a big deal in Hong Kong recently. If it's done, we can probably get this much."

As he spoke, Xiao Hei extended a palm and waved it in front of Gong Wei.

"Five thousand?" Gong Wei said in surprise.

Xiao Hei immediately laughed: "Five thousand? Who are you looking down on? Five hundred thousand. Five hundred thousand each. Think about it. If you pull off this job, you can change the environment for your wife and son to live in."

"What are we doing in Hong Kong?" Gong Wei continued to ask.

"Robbery, of course." Xiao Hei smiled and patted Gong Wei on the shoulder: "I saw your skills when you took down the prison guard; very impressive. The boss will definitely like you. How about it, work with me."

Gong Wei seemed to ponder for a long time before nodding in agreement.

Although Xiao Hei was not a big boss, he had been hanging around in the underworld for many years.

Naturally, he knew the ropes. After taking a few rides with Gong Wei, they arrived at the pier in Guangdong Province.

After finding a smuggling boat, the two headed straight for Hong Kong.

During this time, Gong Wei made a phone call to Chen Jiajun to inform him of his whereabouts.

Chen Jiajun didn't say much, just said "stay safe" and hung up the phone.

After two days of investigation, the Information Department had already made some progress.

This Fu Guang was quite famous in the underworld, but it was all notoriety.

This guy was originally a member of the Big Circle, and he started operating around Southeast Asia in the 70s.

He even left a criminal record in Hong Kong.

Moreover, Fu Guang was always the type who didn't care about underworld ethics; he played the "black eating black" game better than anyone.

So the team kicked him out, and he took a group of people to work on his own.

"Ho, this guy is a bit interesting." Chen Jiajun looked at the information sent by his subordinate and said with some surprise: "Where is he now, and what about that batch of cultural relics?"

The subordinate shook his head and said: "We have found the person, but he doesn't have the cultural relics with him. We suspect he should still have partners in Hong Kong."

"Keep investigating, this matter is very important." Chen Jiajun instructed his subordinate.

"Understood, Boss." The subordinate suddenly remembered something, turned back and said: "By the way, Boss, recently this Fu Guang seems to want to buy a batch of bombs. I don't know what he wants to do."

"Bombs?" Chen Jiajun touched his chin, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him, and he muttered to himself: "Could it be that this guy's goal isn't the cultural relics, but this... that's too ruthless!"

The subordinate was stunned: "Boss, what are you saying?"

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said: "Alright, I know about this matter. Go and finish your work."

Chen Jiajun felt that this information could be well pondered; perhaps he could set a trap for Fu Guang in advance.

Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the phone and called A Jie.

After all, anyone currently dealing in arms in Hong Kong cannot escape this guy's eyes.

On the other side, Xiao Hei had already arrived in Hong Kong with Gong Wei.

Looking at the bustling city before him, Gong Wei needed some time to digest it all.

Xiao Hei was very generous; because Gong Wei had saved him from prison, he treated Gong Wei like a brother.

So, not only did he throw a welcome party for Gong Wei, he even got him a Pager.

Before mobile phones became the mainstream communication tool, this gadget could be said to be in everyone's hands.

Afterwards, Gong Wei took a fancy to a gold medal and thought of his wife.

But after hearing the price, he immediately put it back down.

This thing was not something his meager salary could afford.

Seeing this, Xiao Hei immediately slapped down a stack of cash and said to the clerk, "Wrap this up."

Gong Wei originally wanted to refuse, but Xiao Hei shoved the item directly into Gong Wei's hand and said, "We are all brothers, I have money."

The two strolled around Mong Kok for a long time, and only then did Gong Wei ask, "Are you taking me to see Big Brother tomorrow?"

"That's right, be sharp when the time comes," Xiao Hei said with a smile.

Afterwards, Xiao Hei planned to take Gong Wei to a Nightclub to drink.

As a Police officer, he certainly wouldn't make such a mistake, so he politely declined and stated that he had no money.

He would go out with Xiao Hei once he had earned some money.

After a few days of getting to know him, Xiao Hei also knew that Gong Wei was a very upright person, so he let it go.

The two had a late-night snack on the street and then returned to the hotel to rest.

Chen Jiajun, on his side, found A Jie, who was picking up girls at a Bar.

This guy was clearly the biggest arms dealer in Hong Kong, yet he always made himself look like a wanderer.

When picking up girls, he was often rewarded with "five dollars" by hot girls.

Chen Jiajun said with a look of disdain, "Look at you, anyone who didn't know better would think you were a street punk."

"Screw you," A Jie cursed back on the spot, "Is there any street punk as handsome as me?"

Chen Jiajun rolled his eyes and was speechless.

After the two had a few drinks, Chen Jiajun asked, "Are there some Gweilo selling goods in Hong Kong recently?"

"Hmm? How did you know?" A Jie nodded and said, "There is indeed a batch of Gweilo, but don't worry, those guys follow the rules pretty well; I reckon they'll roll back home before long."

Chen Jiajun said irritably, "I don't care if they follow the rules or not; if they don't, the Hong Kong Police will naturally come looking for them."

"Then why the hell are you asking?" A Jie said speechlessly, "Or did those Gweilo provoke you again?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "I want to use those Gweilo to make a move and frame someone. I wanted to ask if you have any ideas?"

"How do you plan to frame them?" A Jie was stunned for a moment and said.

"I received news that a group of Big Circle Boys intends to buy Liquid Bomb from those Gweilo. I want to swap this batch of Liquid Bomb for fakes." Chen Jiajun didn't beat around the bush and said directly.

A Jie was one of Chen Jiajun's few friends, so he naturally wouldn't hide such things from him.

A Jie thought for a moment and said, "That's not a difficult task; I'll just go talk to those Gweilo. By the way, who are the Big Circle Boys you're talking about?"

"Fu Guang, have you heard of him?" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this name, A Jie's eyebrows immediately stood up: "I know this bastard all too well. Two years ago, this son of a bitch double-crossed me and swallowed a batch of my goods. It's just that this guy disappeared quickly, and I couldn't find him no matter how hard I looked."

Chen Jiajun said in surprise after hearing this, "I didn't expect there to be such a grudge."

A Jie rolled up his sleeves and said viciously, "Let me handle this; I am absolutely going to kill this scum." (End of chapter)
