Chapter 402: My son is fine, but I'm in trouble!
Nowadays, the salary of Police in Hong Kong is not considered too low; otherwise, a crowd of people wouldn't be scrambling to get the job.
But under the rule of the England Gweilo, they are still considered the lowest-level personnel.
Just like the CID Information Monitoring Team, their salary is basically less than five thousand a month.
In this place where every inch of land is worth an ounce of gold and the cost of living is sky-high, just staying alive is already a luxury.
This is also what those Gweilo intentionally want to create.
Everyone is looking toward money!
Therefore, when facing an opportunity to get rich, there are always a few people who will choose to take the risk.
For example, two members of the CID Information Monitoring Team, Yang Zhen and Lin Yixiang.
Yang Zhen is in a difficult family situation, is ill himself, and has three children at home.
The burden of life has long since left him unable to catch his breath.
And Lin Yixiang is much luckier than Yang Zhen, having a rich man's daughter as a girlfriend.
But his girlfriend's family is always reminding them of the gap between them, and he is holding his breath, wanting to prove that he can earn big money.
So when the two heard the top-secret news coming from the monitoring equipment, they were both somewhat tempted.
In the surveillance video, the Boss of Fenghua International, Luo Yaoming, is revealing news to his little Secretary: "Keep an eye on the company's stock tomorrow; it will rise to one dollar and twenty cents."
"When the market closed today, the stock price was only twenty cents... wouldn't that mean getting rich!" the Secretary said with surprise.
Luo Yaoming warned: "Don't buy too much; if you get trapped, don't blame me for not telling you!"
"Following you, I definitely won't miss out..."
At this moment, only Yang Zhen and Lin Yixiang were left in the monitoring center. Yang Zhen thought of the high medical expenses for himself and his son, and suddenly said: "Xiao Xiang, did you record that conversation just now?"
"I recorded it, what's the problem?" Lin Yixiang said casually.
After a moment of silence, Yang Zhen said: "I'm thinking... should we delete it!"
Lin Yixiang turned his head abruptly, looking at Yang Zhen with an expression of disbelief!
Yang Zhen lowered his head and said: "My son is sick, I'm desperate for money, I'm begging you!"
Lin Yixiang only thought for a moment, then pressed the backspace key on the computer keyboard, and then re-typed a paragraph of text.
He didn't agree to Yang Zhen, nor did he say much else; everything looked incredibly natural.
When the other team came back and saw this lewd text that Lin Yixiang had doctored, it immediately caused dissatisfaction from the female officer who had a lot of drama and was also a well-connected person, and she directly deleted the record herself.
At this moment, a faint, imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yixiang's mouth.
"Ma Zhihua, Chairman of the Renxiaotang Foundation! A Singaporean!"
"On the surface, this guy is a financier and philanthropist, but in reality, he is a master of money laundering, specializing in business in South America! This has to do with how he made his fortune in South America!"
"This guy is very famous in Hong Kong and owns a golf club; many political and business elites are his customers! He can be considered to have extensive social connections!"
Sima Xiang said to Chen Jiajun: "I used a lot of connections to find out this guy's information; the people who were sent to my house to intimidate me before were also his men!"
Hearing Sima Xiang's report, Chen Jiajun nodded and said: "Have you thought about what to do?"
After reading the information on this guy Ma Zhihua, even Chen Jiajun felt it was somewhat tricky.
Unless he wanted to directly fall out with the England Gweilo government, he definitely couldn't touch this guy in Hong Kong.
Sima Xiang sneered and said: "This guy has gilded himself, so even you, Boss, would find it hard to touch him! But this gold plating isn't invincible. I already have a way, but it requires the Information Department in your hands to cooperate with me!"
During this time investigating Ma Zhihua's information, Sima Xiang only then realized that Chen Jiajun actually had such a massive Information Organization under his command.
That was why he was able to find Ma Zhihua's information so quickly.
However, to deal with this guy, he still needed the Information Department to help throughout the process, and Sima Xiang did not have that authority.
Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "Of course that's no problem, but tell me about your plan!"
Sima Xiang said: "I plan to start from the Fenghua International line, especially that guy Luo Yaoming! Given how ruthless Ma Zhihua is, if Luo Yaoming dares to pull any tricks, he will definitely kill Luo Yaoming. When that happens, we will step in and save Luo Yaoming."
Chen Jiajun laughed: "And then let Luo Yaoming cooperate with you to report Ma Zhihua?"
"Yes, Big Boss, is there any problem?"
Seeing the smile on Chen Jiajun's face, Sima Xiang asked somewhat nervously.
Chen Jiajun extended a finger: "The plan is fine, there's just one point: how do you know that after you save Luo Yaoming, he will definitely cooperate with you?"
"Ah?" Sima Xiang was also stunned when he heard this.
Chen Jiajun shook his head and said: "Saving his life is one thing, but it doesn't mean he will necessarily cooperate with you. Someone like Ma Zhihua is ruthless; who knows what else he might do? Letting him go back to report Ma Zhihua, isn't that the same as sending him to his death?"
"This... is something I hadn't considered." Sima Xiang said, frowning.
Sima Xiang is a stockbroker after all and has never handled this kind of thing, so it's normal to have some oversights.
Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "Since you know the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Police are investigating him, why not just have the Police go and cause trouble for Luo Yaoming! When this guy falls into the hands of the Police, he won't have a choice but to talk!"
Sima Xiang's eyes lit up immediately: "I know what to do, Big Boss!"
On the other side, Sanbao Securities.
Yang Zhen arrived at the entrance of the securities company early in the morning with money.
He was acting as sneaky as a thief.
The securities company has an office specifically for clients who have opened accounts, and there are all kinds of people inside. There are housewives, old ladies who came after buying groceries, and white-collar workers; it can be said to be a microcosm of life.
After all, the stock market has improved again these past two days, and almost everyone is thinking about making a profit in the stock market.
A moment later, Lin Yixiang walked out of the manager's office and walked straight to a desk.
"Brother Yang!" Lin Yixiang called out to Yang Zhen, and then the two came to the computer.
Yang Zhen asked eagerly: "How is it?"
"It's already done!" Lin Yixiang said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen directly pulled a stack of Hong Kong Dollar from his bosom and said reluctantly, "Two hundred thousand, it's all my assets! It really is all my assets."
Just as he was about to hand the money to Lin Yixiang, a hand pressed down on the banknotes in Yang Zhen's hand.
The two looked up and discovered that it was actually their Captain, Liang Junyi.
Liang Junyi looked at the two with a stern expression and said, "Do you know what you are doing? Destroying evidence, failing to report what you know, obstructing the course of justice! Don't tell me you don't know how serious this crime is?"
"Change the records back, and I will plead for you with A Guang!"
After a moment of silence, Lin Yixiang said, "Boss, inside information is everywhere; anyone who heard it would do the same. Besides, it's not like we're hurting anyone!"
This sentence immediately infuriated Liang Junyi: "Is that an excuse?"
Yang Zhen immediately pulled Liang Junyi and said, "A-Jun, A-Jun, listen to me! I took my son for a check-up two days ago, and my son will be fine soon! But I'm the one with the problem! Liver cancer! The doctor said I only have a year to live. I'm begging you! I want to leave some money for my family, for my wife and children!"
Hearing this, Liang Junyi's hand stiffened. After a moment of silence, he said to Yang Zhen, "Let's talk outside!"
Watching the two stand up to leave, Lin Yixiang said helplessly, "We can't leave!"
The two turned to look at Lin Yixiang, and A-Xiang said directly, "I borrowed loan-shark money, five million, and dumped it all in!"
Hearing this, Yang Zhen was shocked on the spot. He slapped Lin Yixiang on the head and said, "Are you crazy!"
Just as the two were cursing and swearing, the market had already opened.
Liang Junyi had no choice now; he couldn't really arrest Yang Zhen and Lin Yixiang, could he? These two subordinates had followed him ever since they left the Police Force and treated him like a Big Brother.
So, after a moment of silence, he sat back down.
Soon, the stock price began to soar, rising directly from the initial twenty cents per share to seventy-eight cents.
Yang Zhen was not greedy; he had enough money to treat his son's illness and support his wife, so he kept urging Lin Yixiang to sell quickly.
"Don't be in such a rush, Brother Yang. If we sell now, each of us will only get a few million!" Lin Yixiang stopped him.
Yang Zhen spread his hands and said, "A few million is enough for me!"
"Brother Yang, in this day and age, what can a few million do?" Lin Yixiang tried to persuade him.
But at this moment, Liang Junyi said, "Listen to Old Yang and sell it all!"
"Boss!"
"I told you to sell it all! Did you hear me?"
Facing the opposition of the two, Lin Yixiang was unwilling, but he still prepared to pick up the phone to sell.
But just at this moment, the computer screen suddenly flickered, and a huge interface indicating a trading halt appeared before everyone's eyes. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Walking out of Sanbao Securities in low spirits, none of them spoke.
Afterwards, the radio played the news.
"The listed company Fenghua International has seen a sharp fluctuation in its stock price today. The Securities Regulatory Commission, in view of the abnormal trading, has ordered a halt to trading until the investigation is complete!"
"As for the shares, multiple sell orders and other positive news were rumored today, all of which have been denied one by one by the relevant personnel of Fenghua International!"
"The market believes that in the absence of positive news support, Fenghua International's stock price will face immense pressure when it resumes trading next Monday."
Listening to these reports, Yang Zhen and Lin Yixiang in the car collapsed.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yixiang said, "I will be responsible for that five million. I will find a way to pay back your two hundred thousand as soon as possible."
Facing the situation before them, the three were helpless and could only smoke one cigarette after another.
……
"Heh, Luo Yaoming is quite bold, daring to openly go against his Boss!"
Seeing the analysis on the news, Sima Xiang couldn't help but laugh.
Clearly, this guy was inseparable from the suspension of Fenghua International today.
However, Sima Xiang knew that this guy probably wouldn't live long.
Although he learned through the Information Department that Luo Yaoming had found a backer and wanted to break free from Ma Zhihua's control, what he didn't know was that Ma Zhihua had always been in contact with drug lords in South America.
Sima Xiang said to the member of the Information Department, "Help me check where Luo Yaoming is now. I suspect someone is going to make a move on him!"
"If someone makes a move, bring that guy back!"
The member of the Information Department nodded and said, "Understood, Brother Xiang!"
"By the way, what's the situation with the Securities and Futures Commission?" Sima Xiang asked again.
The member of the Information Department said, "They went to Fenghua International to audit the accounts today; I reckon they are still there! But according to our investigation, Ma Zhihua's two subordinates are very capable. I estimate they won't be able to find anything!"
"That is exactly what makes this Ma Zhihua so difficult to deal with!" Sima Xiang rubbed his eyes and said.
"By the way, Brother Xiang, those two guys have been looking for you recently, planning to ask you out for a chat!" the member of the Information Department suddenly said. "Should we give them a taste of their own medicine?"
A cold light flashed in Sima Xiang's eyes as he said, "No rush. There will be an opportunity to teach them a lesson, but my old arms and legs don't hit hard! I'll need your help when the time comes!" (End of chapter)
