Chapter 379: The Kidnapping Incident (Part 1)
The next day, You Guqi Restaurant.
The entire restaurant had been booked out, and a large group of gangsters stood guard at the entrance.
The scene was, to say the least, terrifying.
Inside the restaurant, the bosses of various Hong Kong triads had set up a banquet early, waiting for Chen Jiajun to arrive.
Soon, a silver Mercedes-Benz drove up.
This bulletproof Mercedes-Benz was Dalao Jun's ride; almost every triad in Hong Kong knew this.
Therefore, the gangsters blocking the entrance hurriedly cleared a path.
After Chen Jiajun stepped out of the car and saw the scene before him, he immediately frowned and said, "Who caused such a commotion? Tell them to clear these people away!"
Lao Yu, standing to the side, smiled and said, "These are all bodyguards for the various sitting heads; if you ask them to leave, they likely won't agree."
"Tsk!" Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "They really are afraid of dying!"
The sitting heads of Dongxing, Wo Ling Sheng, Number Gang, Hong Le, Hong Tai, Xin Ji, and He Xingsheng had all arrived.
The bosses of the remaining small triads were simply not qualified to sit at this table.
Seeing Chen Jiajun and Lao Yu arrive, they all stood up to welcome them: "Sir Chen!"
Chen Jiajun sat down with a face full of smiles and said, "Everyone is here today! I wonder what business you all have with a businessman like me?"
Seeing Chen Jiajun feign ignorance, the faces of the triad bosses turned somewhat ugly.
They had originally thought that they could get Chen Jiajun to settle this matter by appealing to the fact that they were all in the same business, but looking at Chen Jiajun's attitude now, it was clear he was not prepared to let them get a free ride.
Although Chen Jiajun feigned ignorance, the triad bosses still recounted the recent events.
Chen Jiajun looked at everyone with a smile and said, "So, what do you gentlemen want me to help you with? To find this group of people?"
"That's right!"
"That is exactly what we mean!"
"Please do us a favor, Dalao Jun!"
The group of triad bosses all nodded.
Chen Jiajun rested his chin on his hand as if deep in thought: "But I have already washed my hands of it and retired from the underworld! For me to intervene again... wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, several triad bosses almost cursed out loud.
It was true that Chen Jiajun had retired from the underworld, but saying he didn't care about underworld affairs was pure nonsense.
However, no one dared to say this out loud!
"Dalao Jun, we can pay a price." After a moment of silence, the current sitting head of Xin Ji, Futou Jun, said directly to Chen Jiajun.
Since being pressured by Chen Jiajun wasn't the first or second time, Futou Jun simply gave up and immediately started negotiating terms with Chen Jiajun.
They had all come prepared to be extorted anyway.
So, they all agreed with Futou Jun's words.
"Benefits?" Chen Jiajun sneered: "To be honest, what can you all give me? Commercial resources, or political resources? Or just money? If I may speak without fear of offending anyone, the little money you have is not worth mentioning in my eyes."
Chen Jiajun's words were extremely arrogant, yet not a single one of the underworld bosses present could refute them.
Rumors outside said that the richest man in Hong Kong was Li Jiacheng, but this news was incorrect.
The true richest man should be Chen Jiajun.
Because when calculating Chen Jiajun's assets, investments in Shenzhou Technology and Brunei, as well as shares in Aomen Entertainment, were not included at all. Only the market value of Guojun Group was calculated.
If one were to compare assets, Chen Jiajun's assets might have already exceeded the hundred-billion level.
Naturally, he was qualified to say he looked down on the net worth of these underworld figures.
Just as the expressions on everyone's faces turned ugly, Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "However, I can help with this favor!"
Seeing the smile on Chen Jiajun's face, Futou Jun immediately became vigilant: "What do you want?"
Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "It's very simple, I want everyone present to owe me a favor!"
"What? That's impossible!" Futou Jun refused on the spot.
A favor is a tricky thing; it could be big or small, and it would be better to just pay a sum of money.
Chen Jiajun raised his hand to calm them and said, "Everyone, don't be anxious. The favor I want will not harm the interests of your respective triads, and it will be within your capabilities. Even if you cannot accept it when I ask you to repay the favor, you can withdraw at any time!"
Futou Jun asked suspiciously: "It's that simple?"
Chen Jiajun smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's that simple!"
Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the group of triad bosses began to whisper among themselves.
Futou Jun discussed it with the people around him for a while and said directly: "Fine, I, Futou Jun, agree to this."
Xin Ji had been the unluckiest recently, with several of their Zhafits having been kidnapped for ransom.
To stabilize the hearts of his gang, he had no choice but to agree.
With Futou Jun taking the lead, the others also agreed one after another; in any case, Chen Jiajun's favor didn't force them to do anything specific, and at worst, they could just shamelessly welch on it later.
Hearing that everyone had agreed, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Jiajun's mouth. He raised his wine glass and said, "Good, since everyone has asked me, Chen Jiajun, for help, I cannot refuse! Cheers!"
From this day on, the bosses of every triad in Hong Kong became the lackeys under Chen Jiajun!
But just as everyone was drinking, on the other side, something happened at the He Li He branch.
He Li He was also one of the old-school branches of the Hong-character triads in Hong Kong, but due to poor management, it had slowly fallen to a second-rate level.
However, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and it was not something that ordinary small triads could provoke, as it still carried the He-character brand.
The two most famous Zhafits of He Li He currently were one called Sang Qing, who was arrogant and domineering, and very flamboyant, with many enemies in the underworld.
However, because he was very good at fighting, he had survived until now.
The other was the handler in charge of Laundry Powder for He Li He, nicknamed Bing Wang.
These two people could be said to have propped up the He Li He brand, acting in a complementary manner.
Sang Qing can fight, and Bing Wang has money.
It just so happened that recently, Sang Qing ran into trouble; someone snitched and sent Sang Qing to court.
Fortunately, Bing Wang hired a great Lawyer and helped Sang Qing settle the guy who snitched, so Sang Qing was released very quickly.
On the day he got out, the two of them went to a Bar to celebrate his return.
This guy had been in prison for too long, and on the spot, he started getting handsy with a hostess.
But the hostess wouldn't have it at all, which immediately made Sang Qing furious, intending to execute the hostess right there.
Just at this moment, the Boss of the Bar walked out.
"Brother Qing, the little girl doesn't know any better; I'll teach her slowly! No need to be so angry, right?" A woman with great charm walked out and cleared the situation for the two hostesses.
Seeing the Boss step in, Sang Qing couldn't very well continue to act; after all, this Boss was the goddaughter of the sitting-hall master Longshu, so he had to give some face for the sake of reason and sentiment.
"Sister Xiao Yue, long time no see!" Sang Qing glanced at Bing Wang and said with a smile.
Xiao Yue sat up, poured a glass of wine for Sang Qing, and said, "Brother Qing, I haven't congratulated you yet on winning the lawsuit!"
Sang Qing glanced at the expression on Bing Wang's face beside him, and very respectfully raised his glass to tease, "Sister Xiao Yue, I truly admire you! Our Brother Bing has been making waves in the underworld lately; whoever sees him has to call him Boss! But when he gets here, he doesn't even look at other women!"
It was very obvious that Bing Wang clearly had a thing for this Xiao Yue, he just hadn't said it out loud!
Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Brother Bing is my godbrother! He's afraid I'll be bullied, so he comes to see me often!"
Just as the few were chatting, Bing Wang's subordinate walked in: "Boss, the person has been brought here!"
Bing Wang nodded, then patted Sang Qing and said, "I have something for you!"
After saying that, the two went straight to the roof of the Nightclub.
On the roof, Bing Wang's subordinate carried over a burlap sack.
At Bing Wang's signal, the subordinate immediately opened the sack.
Inside was a person, and it was precisely the witness who had identified Sang Qing.
Sang Qing immediately burst into loud laughter: "Hahahaha, you bastard, you made me look hard for you!"
As he spoke, Sang Qing punched and kicked the witness, then said to Bing Wang, "I was really afraid that I would have been killed by this piece of trash when court opened this morning!"
"He's been tied up for ten days already!" Bing Wang said with a smile: "Take your time playing, once you've vented your anger, hand the person over to them to deal with; keep it clean!"
"No problem!" Sang Qing said to Bing Wang with a smile.
Then, with a fierce look on his face, he looked at the witness and unleashed another round of punches and kicks: "Bastard, betraying me! Let's see how much nerve you have!"
Since the gift had been delivered, Bing Wang returned to the Nightclub.
But after returning to the private room, he saw Longshu, the boss of the Wo Hop To.
The reason Longshu came today was very simple: he did not want Bing Wang to force himself on his goddaughter, Xiao Yue.
Although Bing Wang felt very unhappy inside, he said to Longshu with a serious face: "I understand, let's go! Let's go have a late-night snack together!"
Seeing that Bing Wang had agreed, Longshu nodded and followed Bing Wang out.
But the moment the two walked out of the Nightclub, a figure fell straight from the roof and crashed directly onto a car nearby.
Such a huge commotion immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers.
Longshu said with an ugly expression: "Who did this?"
"It must be Sang Qing; I already told him to keep it clean!" Bing Wang, flustered and exasperated, took out his phone and dialed Sang Qing's number: "Hey, are you crazy? Get out of there fast! The Police are coming!"
After saying that, Bing Wang said to Longshu: "Let's go first!"
Longshu nodded and immediately called for his driver.
On the other side, Sang Qing clearly didn't take this matter to heart.
Driving the car himself, he took a few subordinates and swayed as he prepared to head home.
"That human kite just now was really satisfying!" Sang Qing said while swaying as he drove, laughing wantonly.
He didn't notice at all that the lackey sitting in the car with him was scared to death.
The lackey hurriedly said to Sang Qing: "Big Brother, if you're too high, why don't you let me drive!"
Sang Qing didn't appreciate it at all and pushed the lackey away: "Get lost! I'm fine no matter how high I am!"
Soon, Sang Qing and his group saw that at an intersection, there seemed to be traffic Police setting up a checkpoint to stop cars.
The lackey immediately warned: "Big Brother, there are Police ahead!"
Sang Qing, however, looked indifferent and said: "Pfft, we're already home, what's there to be afraid of!"
Soon, Sang Qing's car was pulled over, and the lead traffic officer asked Sang Qing to get out of the car for an inspection.
Sang Qing, looking arrogant, immediately cursed: "Are you shit-eaters setting up a formation at my doorstep? Get lost!"
The Police seemed quite professional and didn't mind Sang Qing's foul mouth at all: "Driver's license, ID card, please!"
"Documents? I don't have any!" Sang Qing spread his hands and said provocatively: "What can you do to me?"
"We now suspect you of driving without a license and driving under the influence; please cooperate and take a breathalyzer test," the traffic officer said with a calm expression.
"Test? Go back and ask your mother to take it!" Sang Qing said with disdain.
The Police looked at Sang Qing with sharp eyes: "Please cooperate."
"And if I don't cooperate, what can you do to me? Hit me then!" Sang Qing continued to provoke.
Who knew that this Police officer actually nodded and said: "Sure!"
As he spoke, the Police officer delivered a side kick, knocking Sang Qing to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Sang Qing's lackeys immediately wanted to attack.
But the other traffic officers also moved.
These thugs specifically brought to protect Sang Qing were not weak, but they didn't expect that facing this group of traffic officers, they wouldn't even have the strength to fight back, and were all knocked unconscious in a few moves.
Subsequently, several Police officers moved step by step toward Sang Qing.
Sang Qing, panicking and having nowhere to run, immediately took out the Handgun from his waist and grabbed a passerby at random.
The passerby happened to be a pregnant woman, which for Sang Qing was simply the best hostage.
"Don't you come over! If you come any closer, I'll open fire!" Sang Qing said with a panicked look on his face.
At this, his drug-addled brain finally cleared up a bit, and he spoke to the few traffic police with a fierce expression but a cowardly heart.
Even if he were any stupider, he would know that the traffic police before him were not Police at all; what kind of ordinary traffic police had skills like these!
What shocked him even more was that, faced with Sang Qing holding a hostage, the Police just sneered and said, "Kill her... what does that have to do with us?"
Seeing the style of these guys, Sang Qing immediately panicked, remembering the group of kidnappers who had been specifically targeting triad leaders recently.
"Lunatics!"
Sang Qing had his attention drawn by this group of traffic police and immediately pushed the pregnant woman away, wanting to escape.
But just at this moment, the pregnant woman he had been holding reached into her handbag.
With a "Bang," Sang Qing screamed and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterward, two traffic police rushed up and kicked the gun out of Sang Qing's hand.
They took out a towel soaked in ether and covered Sang Qing's face with it.
In just a few seconds, Sang Qing, who had still been struggling constantly, passed out directly.
After catching the person, this group of fake traffic police immediately dragged Sang Qing into a van and drove away.
This series of operations was smooth and fluid; one look and it was clear this wasn't their first time committing a crime.
Not only was their efficiency extremely high, but they were also very good at disguising their identities; no wonder the triad people had searched for so long without finding a trace of this group.
After all, the triad people had all fallen into a cognitive trap; who could have imagined that this matter actually had something to do with the Police?
……
Early the next morning, Chen Jiajun was in his office reading documents.
At this time, Lao Yu hurried over and said to Chen Jiajun, "Boss, look at the news quickly; those guys seem to have started committing crimes again!"
Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment, then picked up the remote and turned on the television.
The television was broadcasting this news: "At 1:30 this morning, a suspected case of impersonating police and causing injury occurred in Jiulongtang! Three Huaxia men were attacked; two of them died on the spot, and one was confirmed dead on the way to the hospital! The Police suspect that another man was taken away by someone impersonating a police officer..."
Chen Jiajun frowned and said to Lao Yu, "Who was the person taken away?"
"The Zhafit of Helihe, Sang Qing!" Lao Yu said with a smile, "That hothead has too many enemies; I don't even know if this matter was done by those kidnappers!"
Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "Who are the Zhafit of the triads who have gone missing recently?"
"Su Long of Xinji, Jin Mao Lun, Da Kuai Xiong. Ya Zai of Hehetu, Gui Tou, and so on; they are all well-known figures in the underworld," Lao Yu pondered for a moment and said to Chen Jiajun.
Chen Jiajun rubbed his chin and said, "Do these guys have any common points?"
"Common points? This..." Lao Yu shook his head, but soon he seemed to remember something and said to Chen Jiajun, "I do remember now; these guys have all faced quite a few lawsuits recently! But none of them were successfully prosecuted, and they were all acquitted."
"Huh, that's interesting!" Chen Jiajun became interested immediately upon hearing Lao Yu's description: "Have the people in the Information Department give me a good check on whether the Police system has fired anyone recently! Especially those with official misconduct; don't check ordinary Police, but look at people from the Flying Tigers, the Serious Crimes Unit, and those assault teams."
Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Lao Yu said with a look of surprise, "Boss, do you think the Police are the ones who did it?"
Chen Jiajun rolled his eyes and said, "How is that possible! If that were exposed, several Gweilo from England would have to step down! I'm talking about those who left the force; remember that crazy Lawyer? I suspect this group of people is the same kind as that crazy Lawyer."
Lao Yu understood immediately: "Alright, I'll have people go check right away." (End of chapter)
