Chapter 484: I Can Talk Too

In Chen Jiajun's mansion, Director Song was waiting for someone in the garden.

Guan Jiahui specially brought a pot of good tea to Director Song, and after leaving the garden, she dialed Chen Jiajun's number and explained the situation to him.

Chen Jiajun indicated that he would return immediately and told Guan Jiahui and the others to host him well.

About ten minutes later, Chen Jiajun rushed back from outside and walked straight into the garden.

They chatted about many things during this time, and since Director Song had already promised to give him an explanation, there was no need for Chen Jiajun to do anything extra.

Therefore, the rest of the time was spent chatting about the situation in Hong Kong.

The two chatted about financial issues until dinner time, and Chen Jiajun invited Director Song to dine at his home.

Director Song did not refuse, and after the meal, he left the mansion.

Guan Jiahui followed up and asked, "This person's rank isn't low, right? But why did he come to Hong Kong to find you?"

"Why?" Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "Some bastards went too far in their actions. This big shot came to vent my anger for me!"

……

Yuezhou, inside an office.

Director Song was scolding people, and among those being scolded was that guy Daquan Bao.

Director Song was tired of scolding, took a sip of tea, and then said to the few people, "The results of your disciplinary actions have been decided!"

Director Song did not give them a chance to beg for mercy: "It is settled. Someone will come to take over your work soon; pay attention to the handover!"

They had thought this matter was over, but Director Song turned his gaze to Daquan Bao: "You have been in contact with Chen Jiajun for so long, why did you follow these people to stir up trouble?"

Daquan Bao immediately cried out in injustice: "Director Song, this matter really cannot be blamed on me! I couldn't exactly disobey orders, could I?"

"Besides, regarding this matter with Chen Jiajun, I even tried to persuade these few, but..."

Daquan Bao immediately started shifting the blame; he could not take the fall for this, and it was not his intention to begin with.

Director Song was stunned for a moment, then had someone find the document, and sure enough, such a document existed.

After a moment of silence, Director Song said to Daquan Bao, "I will speak to the elders about this. From now on, Yuezhou will only be responsible for providing assistance; you will have autonomy."

Hearing Director Song's words, Daquan Bao let out a long sigh of relief and said, "That would be for the best! But Director Song, the matter regarding Wo Shing Shing..."

"I have already talked it over with Chen Jiajun. He only resents your attempts to control him; he will never refuse the necessary assistance," Director Song said to Daquan Bao.

"Thank you, Director Song!" Daquan Bao said hurriedly.

Daquan Bao knew that this matter must have been discussed by Director Song personally with Chen Jiajun.

Otherwise, it would be unrealistic for them to expect Chen Jiajun to grant them any favors after this incident.

Director Song waved his hand and said with some exhaustion, "Just don't cause any more trouble for me, you people!"

……

The next day, Daquan Bao crossed the sea personally to find Chen Jiajun again.

And he expressed his apologies: "Mr. Chen, this matter was my presumption!"

"Forget it, I am not an unreasonable person! What's past is past, let's talk business!"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "As of now, I have already handled Ou Wangui of Huangchaling and sent those South Asian refugees away. We can go talk to the new leader of Hong Yi; there shouldn't be any major problems."

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Daquan Bao was overjoyed.

In his view, the local triads in Hong Kong were the easiest to deal with, while those South Asians had always been a major threat.

He did not expect Chen Jiajun to have solved such a huge problem quietly, which made Daquan Bao very happy: "This is great, it saves us a lot of effort!"

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said, "It was just a matter of convenience. Now, there is no need to worry about the several triads in Hong Kong—Hung Hing, Sun Yee On, and Tung Sing—they won't be able to stir up any trouble. The biggest problems are the Wo Shing Shing and the 14K."

"The Wo Shing Shing election is imminent, and I want to hear your plan."

Daquan Bao did not dare to be slow and directly told Chen Jiajun his thoughts.

"I understand what you mean. You intend to let Jimmy and Da D compete against Lin Huaile, right?" Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "However, Jimmy Zai's strength is insufficient. His subordinates are fine at doing business, but asking them to fight is clearly unrealistic."

Daquan Bao smiled and said, "That is why I have prepared some manpower for him!"

"It's still not enough. You probably don't understand that both Lin Huaile and Da D have bosses supporting them behind the scenes, and they have been in the Wo Shing Shing for so long; one or two people are not enough to change the overall situation!" Chen Jiajun shook his head and said.

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Daquan Bao revealed a look of shock: "What you said... is it true?"

Chen Jiajun could not be bothered with nonsense; he directly took out the materials obtained by the Information Department and pushed them toward Daquan Bao.

The Wo Shing Shing triad is very complex; they are considered one of the oldest of the 'Wo' groups and also the one with the greatest influence.

The total number of members adds up to over fifty thousand, and that is not even counting the peripheral Blue Lanterns.

Each Hall Master of the triad is also responsible for different matters.

But there are two people who are exceptions: Da D and Lin Huaile.

They both have bosses supporting them behind the scenes. Those supporting Da D are the local factions in Hong Kong.

And those supporting Lin Huaile are much more complex. After investigating for a period of time, Chen Jiajun discovered that they are all Gweilo from England or people with close ties to the English Gweilo.

"To deal with these two, either don't make a move, or if you do, you must strike them dead completely!" Chen Jiajun said with a ruthless expression: "Otherwise, if they make a comeback, we will be even more miserable!"

Daquan Bao nodded and said, "That is indeed the logic! Then... what are your thoughts, Mr. Chen?"

"Your plan is quite good, but it is not enough!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "We must make Jimmy Zai's influence expand rapidly! It must reach the point of crushing them! The premise is that you must keep this guy under control!"

Daquan Bao smiled and said, "You can leave that to me! I have ways to handle him!"

……

In a dim bar, Jimmy Zai brought his big financier, Mr. Guo, to find Lao Xu of Sun Yee On.

Sun Yee On are smart people; ever since they knew Hong Kong was going to return, they have been cooperating with the mainland.

In the past few years, they have done a lot of business on the mainland and can be said to be the most successful group.

As for Hung Hing? Hung Hing's level is too high, and people at the level of Jimmy Zai and Mr. Guo cannot yet make connections with Chen Jiajun.

So they settled for the next best thing and chose to cooperate with Lao Xu.

"Mr. Xu, this is Mr. Guo!" Jimmy Zai smiled and introduced him to Lao Xu.

Lao Xu immediately said with a face full of smiles: "Guo Xiansheng, thank you for your support of our scholarship fund. We will soon build two Hope Primary Schools back in our hometown!"

Guo Xiansheng smiled and said: "Xu Xiansheng has many businesses in your hometown, and they are all very successful. If you have time, please give Jimmy Zai and me some advice!"

Guo Xiansheng donated to two Hope Primary Schools through Lao Xu's charity organization just to make a connection.

Everyone knew it in their hearts.

Lao Xu said with a chuckle: "Certainly. When the time comes, you tell Jimmy Zai to give me a call!"

"Alright!" Guo Xiansheng nodded with a smile.

Afterward, Lao Xu led the two to a booth to sit down first, then whispered to Jimmy: "Jimmy Zai, come over here for a second, I want to introduce someone to you!"

Jimmy was stunned for a moment, but he still followed Lao Xu over.

Soon he met Daquan Bao.

Lao Xu introduced: "Shi Xiansheng, this is..."

Daquan Bao waved his hand and said: "Jimmy Zai, I heard you are the person who makes the most money in Wo Shing now?"

Lao Xu whispered a word to Jimmy Zai: "Deputy Director Shi, from the Provincial Department!"

Jimmy Zai was shocked inside, but his face remained calm.

Strictly speaking, his business was not legal; he had merely bribed certain people.

Now that he was being sought out by such a "big shot," it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous inside.

"Hello, Shi Xiansheng!" Jimmy said with a smile as he greeted him.

Daquan Bao stood up and said indifferently: "Lin Huaile is your godfather, right? I advise you: don't ever learn his style. He goes too far in doing things. It's not that we won't let you survive, but you must know when to stop!"

"I heard your Wo Shing is about to elect a new Headman soon. How about it? Are you interested?"

Jimmy Zai smiled and refused directly: "No!"

Daquan Bao was not surprised to hear this, just smiled and said nothing more.

"Excuse me, I must step away!" Jimmy didn't say much else and turned to leave.

Daquan Bao then lectured Lao Xu: "What is your Sun Yee On doing? Always fighting among yourselves, even using incendiary bombs, and hurting many innocent citizens!"

Lao Xu immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly apologized to Daquan Bao.

After Jimmy returned to his seat, he was still thinking about the meaning behind Daquan Bao's words earlier.

But he soon put it to the back of his mind; after all, he only did legitimate business now, and matters of the underworld were none of his business.

After drinking for a while, Jimmy went to the restroom.

But he didn't expect that the Daquan Bao from earlier would follow him.

Daquan Bao said indifferently to Jimmy: "Shiye Su has a pretty good relationship with you, right?"

Jimmy was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Daquan Bao continued: "He is running an Underground Mark Six in Longkou. We have already taken notice of him. Two days from now, he will go to Longkou, and he will have bigger trouble then!"

Daquan Bao could actually tell that Jimmy Zai did not want to deal with him.

But since he was a chosen person, he could not escape Daquan Bao's palm! The triad is, in fact, the black glove of the Big Boss.

Examples like Chen Jiajun, who cut ties with the triad to become the Big Boss, are rare.

Once most people enter a triad, their fate for the rest of their lives is already fixed.

Jimmy Zai did not have the ability to break this kind of fate.

This was Chen Jiajun's view.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Daquan Bao is truly ruthless!" Su Xingbai shook his head and said to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "It's only because you are smart; otherwise, do you think you would be better off than Jimmy Zai?"

Su Xingbai immediately laughed: "That's because I have a good eye!"

"Jimmy Zai definitely has no way to deal with both Da D and Lin Huaile at the same time, and if things go wrong, the more pressure given, these two guys might even join forces!" Chen Jiajun pondered for a moment and said to Su Xingbai: "You are responsible for increasing the pressure on Jimmy Zai, but be careful not to let him see it. This kid Jimmy Zai is still very sharp."

Su Xingbai nodded and said: "I understand, but Big Boss, is there no room for these triads in Hong Kong to survive?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Didn't Daquan Bao make it very clear? It's not that there is no room for the triads to survive, but that they are not allowed to develop like they did in the past. Now everything is shifting toward low-end manufacturing, the entertainment industry, and the transportation industry. Being able to let the triads make money instead of liquidating them directly is already an act of extra grace."

Su Xingbai nodded thoughtfully.

……

Jimmy discovered that ever since meeting that person, he always felt someone was observing his every move.

And they were all pushing him toward the position of the Wo Shing leader.

This made Jimmy extremely distressed.

Furthermore, his brother Shiye Su's phone could never be reached, which made Jimmy somewhat anxious.

Early this morning, a guest came to Jimmy's mansion, saying that Deng Wei wanted to see him.

This immediately gave Jimmy a bad premonition.

Inside a stadium near the mansion, Jimmy found Deng Wei in the stands.

As soon as he sat down, Deng Wei said directly: "You've made quite a lot recently, haven't you? So many big bosses are looking after you!"

"It's just doing business together," Jimmy said in a cold tone.

Deng Wei didn't waste words either and said directly to Jimmy: "Jimmy Zai, you be the Headman this term!" Da D and Lin Huaile had made the triad a mess, and there were faint signs of a split.

This made Deng Wei very unhappy.

Deng Wei's prestige in Wo Shing was extremely high; his words could be said to be golden, and whoever he let take the position could take it, so this time was the same.

But what Deng Wei did not expect was that Jimmy Zai treated the position of Wo Shing leader, which everyone craved, like discarded shoes.

"I only want to do business!" Jimmy emphasized.

Deng Wei said indifferently: "Doing business or being the Headman, there is no conflict!"

This sentence made Jimmy anxious, and his voice grew louder: "Why don't you do it? Whoever likes to do it, let them do it! Being the Headman doesn't allow for going public, and to put it bluntly, if there is any disturbance, the O-Ji anti-triad unit will come looking for me! Deng Bo, find time to have a meal with me. If you have something you need me for, I will definitely not refuse!"

"What did you say!" Deng Bo also said with some anger: "You aren't part of our society? You don't have a share in this?"

Jimmy simply laid his cards on the table and said: "I was bullied as a street vendor when I was a kid, that's why I joined the underworld to find a backer! What's the point of becoming the biggest and fiercest in the society? It's still the same, spare me!"

"You want to make money, but you won't put in the effort, and you want to take advantage while staying here? Damn it!" Deng Bo was so angry he stood straight up, led his dog, and left the ball court.

And within the Wo Luen Shing, it is now split into two factions.

On Da D's side, he is very close with Shuangfan Dong, Dongguan Zai, and Gao Lao.

On Lin Huaile's side, Huoniu, Si Yan Ming, Jimmy Zai, Yutou Biao, and Feiji have banded together.

Regardless of influence or manpower, the strength of both sides is very close.

If they really started fighting, it would definitely be a situation where both sides suffer.

However, the conflict between the two sides seems to have become irreconcilable; this is something anyone with eyes can see.

Fighting is just a matter of time.

This time, it is very likely it won't be resolved peacefully like the last time they elected the Headman.

Inside a certain teahouse.

Jimmy stepped down from the nanny van, and the teahouse waiter immediately came up to greet him.

"I'm looking for Section Chief He." Jimmy said to the waiter.

Very quickly, the waiter led Jimmy to a seat in the very back.

Section Chief He immediately let Jimmy sit down, then poured him a cup of tea and said: "The approval documents from the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation have been handled for you! If it weren't for my connections, it would take at least three years to get the approval!"

Unlike Chen Jiajun, when Chen Jiajun does business, as long as it isn't illegal, it's a green light all the way.

Furthermore, Chen Jiajun invests heavily, and every time he comes, there is a Commissioner specifically there to receive him.

But for hoodlums like Jimmy, it's different; wanting a smooth path requires not only connections but also money.

The difference is very easy to see.

Jimmy smiled and raised the teacup in his hand, saying: "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Section Chief He also happily raised his cup.

After all, he would be able to get twenty million in a moment; counting the money for greasing palms, at least ten million would remain in his own hands.

For them, this kind of business is simply too easy to profit from.

"I'll have someone bring the money over immediately, it's better to be careful!" Jimmy took out his phone to notify his underling.

Section Chief He also nodded and said: "Right, better safe than sorry!"

Very quickly, Jimmy's Majai walked over carrying a leather suitcase and handed it to Section Chief He.

Section Chief He counted the money in the box with a face full of smiles.

Just at this moment, Jimmy's underling lowered his voice and said to him: "Brother Jimmy, it seems like something isn't right."

Jimmy also reacted and began to look around.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Section Chief He immediately put away the Money Box and said to Jimmy with a panicked expression: "W-what's going on?"

Jimmy observed while saying: "I don't know, a lot of people suddenly came outside!"

"Is it the Police? Let's go quickly, damn it!" Section Chief He grabbed the money and prepared to get up.

But at this moment, Jimmy grabbed Section Chief He.

Because he saw that guy Shiye Su walking into the teahouse from outside.

Jimmy immediately grabbed Section Chief He and said: "Wait a moment, it seems they aren't here for us."

Shiye Su seemed to have an appointment to meet someone here; Jimmy made a phone call but still couldn't get through.

Having no other choice, he could only use a pen to write a few words on a napkin and then asked the waiter to hand it to Shiye Su.

But what Jimmy didn't expect was that the waiter didn't hand the napkin to Shiye Su, but directly handed it to the two strangers beside him.

Jimmy Zai was shocked and immediately followed Section Chief He to run toward the back door.

At this point, whether Shiye Su would be caught was no longer in his consideration.

Unfortunately, the Police on the mainland side had long since controlled the surroundings of the teahouse and blocked Jimmy Zai and Section Chief He at the back door.

Afterward, he saw that Section Chief He smile at him, immediately push away the money in the package, and then stand up and leave the teahouse directly.

And the surrounding Police did not have a single person step forward to stop him from leaving.

Jimmy immediately knew that he had been set up by someone.

"Mr. Li, you can't run!" The Police officer smiled and picked up the leather suitcase on the ground, saying: "What is so much money for? It doesn't matter if you don't say, Mr. Li Jiayuan, come back with us for an investigation!"

In Hong Kong, Lin Huaile invited several uncles of the society to play cards.

Lin Huaile has done quite well these past few years and has gained the support of many uncles.

"That's right, Brother Le has excellent leadership; he should be like the Sun Yee On, being our Headman for a lifetime!"

An uncle said happily.

Lin Huaile has earned quite a bit these years, and after entering Tsim Sha Tsui with Da D, the society's annual dividends have allowed these uncles to have several very prosperous years; indeed, many uncles do not wish to replace Lin Huaile.

However, Chuan Bao had a different opinion: "Are you drunk? There has never been a Headman who served consecutive terms in decades; are you going to tell Deng Bo that?"

Hearing Chuan Bao's words, the uncle immediately apologized.

There are many uncles in the Wo Luen Shing, but the ones whose words truly count are still Deng Bo, Chuan Bao, and Long Gen; the others are just there to make up the numbers.

Lin Huaile smiled and said: "I'm just asking for your opinions to see who supports me!"

Chuan Bao sighed and said: "A Le, if you continue to be the Headman, we will continue to be wealthy, so how could we not support you! But we still have to see who comes out to run! At the very least, you won't have an easy time with Da D! As for the remaining small characters, with no money and no power, we few old guys will help you pressure Deng Bo, and you find people to stir up some trouble, and it might just work!"

Lin Huaile nodded and said: "What do you think of Dongguan Zai?"

"A loudmouth, causing trouble everywhere, he's doomed!" Chuan Bao said disdainfully: "He's not even as good as Da D."

"And then there's Jimmy. That kid has money, and he's heavily involved in legitimate business; many brothers have gone to work under him."

"Deng Bo thinks highly of him; he even called him out for a talk just two days ago!"

Lin Huaile didn't care about previous matters, but upon hearing that Deng Bo had spoken with Jimmy, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

Jimmy Zai and Shiye Su had both been arrested.

They were locked up in a crowded detention center.

Shiye Su comforted Jimmy Zai, saying, "It's fine, I know someone; I'll just have a word with him!"

Jimmy Zai was stunned for a moment, then said to Shiye Su, "It's not the one surnamed Shi, is it?"

"How did you know?" Shiye Su asked with a look of surprise.

Jimmy Zai was just about to say something when the door to the detention center opened.

A Police officer roared with a booming voice, "Li Jiayuan, come out!"

Jimmy didn't know what they were going to do, but it seemed he had no choice now.

So he walked straight out.

After stepping out, he was taken into the building by a taciturn Police officer.

Then he went upstairs to an office.

After the door opened, Jimmy indeed saw Daquan Bao.

After shaking hands with Jimmy, Daquan Bao asked, "Do you need someone to get you a pair of shoes?"

Jimmy looked at his bare feet, shook his head, and said, "No need!"

"Your situation is very troublesome; we were originally going to detain you!"

As he spoke, Daquan Bao threw three identification documents to Jimmy Zai and said indifferently, "It's fine. You, Shiye Su, and Zheng Zhili can return to Hong Kong. It's fine! We welcome you to come for sightseeing in the future, but doing business is not allowed!"

Jimmy looked coldly at Daquan Bao, held the documents, and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

"Why is Lao Xu allowed to come up and do business?" Jimmy asked with a puzzled expression.

Daquan Bao smiled and said, "We have already reached an agreement with Lao Xu."

Jimmy hurriedly said, "I can negotiate too!"

Daquan Bao said disdainfully, "What is your status in the Wo Shing? Lao Xu is the Headman of the Sun Yee On!"

Jimmy stared at Daquan Bao and said, "If I get elected, can I do whatever I want?"

Daquan Bao did not answer this question, but stood up, opened the door, and said to Jimmy, "I will have someone handle your paperwork immediately. You decide what you want to do! Get some good rest after you return to Hong Kong!"

After finishing, he had someone send Jimmy out.

After receiving the call from Daquan Bao, Chen Jiajun couldn't help but laugh: "This Daquan Bao really has some tricks up his sleeve. No wonder the higher-ups sent this guy to handle the Wo Shing's affairs! It's not as simple as him just having been an Undercover!"

Su Xingbai asked curiously, "Is it settled?"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "You can start contacting Shiye Su, Long Gen, and Ma Wang now!"

Su Xingbai nodded and said, "I understand, but what about Ma Wang... what should I say?"

"Hahaha, just say that Ma Wang thinks highly of him and wants to invest in him!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Jimmy Zai is a smart man and a businessman; he will definitely accept."

"Really?" Su Xingbai was somewhat skeptical: "I don't think it's that simple!"

"Wanna bet?" Chen Jiajun took out Ahong Kong Dollar note and said, "One thousand dollars!"

"You're on!" Su Xingbai also took out a note and pressed it under the table.

After Su Xingbai went to handle the matter, Chen Jiajun called over his Information Officer.

"Have Lin Huaile and Da D made any moves recently?" Chen Jiajun asked.

The Information Officer thought for a moment and said, "Lin Huaile hasn't made any moves; he just called a few uncles in the society who support him for a talk, and spent the rest of his time with his son."

"As for Da D..."

"What about him?" Chen Jiajun looked at the Information Officer and said, "Don't stutter!"

"This bastard is moving Laundry Powder and wants to buy arms from A Jie!" the Information Officer said honestly.

"This jerk, how did he get mixed up with Da D!" Chen Jiajun said helplessly: "He really knows how to cause trouble for me!"

"Do we need to go and give a warning?" the Information Officer asked.

Chen Jiajun rubbed his chin and said, "No need. Keep an eye on Da D; I will go find A Jie myself!" (End of chapter)
