Chapter 490: The Fish That Escaped the Net

"Big Boss, I have not failed the mission!" Luo Minsheng was handling such a large case for the first time, and the pressure on him was immense.

However, the outcome was excellent, allowing him, Zhuo Yu, and Sima Nianzu to all heave a long sigh of relief.

It could be said that the newly established Landlord Association had successfully fired its first shot.

Chen Jiajun saw the equity transfer agreement and immediately revealed a smile: "Very good, I truly did not misjudge you all!"

"Just serving the Big Boss!" Luo Minsheng said humbly.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said: "Alright, I'll give you all a one-week vacation. After that, you can learn about my next phase of plans!"

Luo Minsheng and the others were all stunned. Listening to Chen Jiajun's tone, Pan-Asia Bank was merely for them to practice their hands and test their abilities; they had not yet participated in the true core plans.

Thinking of this, Luo Minsheng and the others could not help but gasp.

A forced acquisition of a bank was just an appetizer; they could hardly imagine what major operations were to follow.

However, the more this was the case, the more excited these three young men became.

The next phase of the plan Chen Jiajun spoke of was naturally aimed at the Asian financial crisis.

But this plan of Chen Jiajun's was still too ahead of its time; ordinary people simply would not dare to believe it.

Chen Jiajun did not want to waste his breath trying to convince a group of people again.

So he simply dragged the matter out.

Just as Chen Jiajun had expected, the situation deteriorated very quickly, and the financial market in Indonesia collapsed rapidly.

This already counted as an omen, so for the next step, Chen Jiajun planned to start from Thailand.

Shorting the value of the Thai baht and grabbing money from those international financial sharks to strengthen himself! After giving the members of the Landlord Association a vacation, Chen Jiajun also rested for a while.

Even the most sluggish of the triads in Hong Kong could feel that something was happening.

Therefore, the various major triads that had been increasingly rampant before had all restrained themselves quite a bit by now.

Especially those Daquan who had once swum over, they could no longer stay in Hong Kong at this moment.

Apart from those who truly could not survive, the rest were all restless elements from back home.

Many of them even had cases against them; if they waited for the home side to take back Hong Kong, they would be the first to be sent to the firing squad.

So the Daquan Gang in Hong Kong fled directly, and even many Daquan boys from the Number Gang took the opportunity to slip away.

Those with the means ran far away, such as to South America or Europe, while the poorer ones ran off to Thailand, Malaysia, and other places.

Once the Daquan left, there was a lot of vacant territory again.

Some triads began to stir, and it was impossible to suppress them.

"Sigh, this terrible environment!" Chen Jiajun looked at the news sent over by Lao Xu and could not help but shake his head.

Just as Chen Jiajun was sighing, He Tian'er snatched the report from his hand and said with a look of complaint: "You're out to have fun and you're still handling official business? Are you ever going to finish!"

Chen Jiajun immediately looked at He Tian'er amusedly and said: "I think you're looking to get your bottom spanked!"

"Come and get me, come and get me!" He Tian'er shouted and ran away.

Chen Jiajun immediately chased after her, messing around with his women.

After ending a pleasant vacation on his yacht, Chen Jiajun returned to the company, and Lao Xu immediately came looking for him.

"What's so urgent that you're coming to find me first thing in the morning?" Chen Jiajun was eating rice rolls and looked at Lao Xu with some curiosity.

Lao Xu said helplessly: "You told me to keep an eye on the Number Gang! The people from the Number Gang are making moves!"

"Which branch's people are out causing trouble again?" Chen Jiajun said, feeling somewhat speechless.

Lao Xu spread his hands and said: "The boss of the Yi Branch of the Number Gang, Dalao Wen!"

"The one with the crazy younger brother?" Chen Jiajun said, not paying much attention.

"That's right, it's him!" Lao Xu nodded and said with a serious face: "Recently, their branch has been expanding very quickly. Not only did they swallow the territory left behind by those Daquan boys, but they even reached their hands into other people's territory! They've caused a lot of trouble these past few days, making everyone in the underworld very unhappy!"

Chen Jiajun angrily threw his chopsticks down and said: "Damn it, more restless ones! Didn't Li Wenbin and Daquan Bao take action?"

Lao Xu sighed and said: "It is precisely because they took action that I am telling you this! Daquan Bao and Li Wenbin joined forces and directly suppressed several of the stronger branches of the Number Gang, such as the Xiao Branch, the Mei Branch, the De Branch, etc., so they really cannot spare the time!"

"And I don't know which bastard leaked the news, saying that the police are going to wipe them out. Now, things on Li Wenbin and Daquan Bao's side are not going smoothly! I reckon that is precisely why Dalao Wen of the Yi Branch dares to reach his hands into other people's territory!"

Chen Jiajun pondered for a moment and said: "So the ones in charge of the Yi Branch are Dalao Wen and his brother? How is their scale?"

"The scale is quite good. They have at least nearly ten thousand members under them, and they are involved in many industries, from real estate to finance, from Laundry Powder to protection fees; as long as it makes money, they won't let it go!" Lao Xu thought for a moment and introduced them to Chen Jiajun.

"With such a large industry managed by just the two brothers, do the others have no ideas?" Chen Jiajun said playfully.

Lao Xu pondered for a moment and said: "There certainly must be some, but now that the two brothers have joined forces, no one should be looking for trouble at this time!"

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "That's not necessarily true. These two brothers want to turn the triad into a family business, just like the Xu Family, which is why they are taking advantage of this time to crazily stir up trouble and accumulate strength! If anyone has any ideas, this period is the most suitable time!"

"Boss, what do you mean?" Lao Xu's eyes lit up, and he said to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Get someone to make contact with the uncles of the Yi Branch, see who has the most ideas, and I will have the people from the Information Department cooperate with you!"

Lao Xu nodded and said: "I know what to do, Boss!"

Lao Xu had just gotten up to leave when a familiar guy sat down.

It was Li Shutang, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

This guy had been living in comfort all these years and had gained quite a bit of weight; he no longer looked like the dignified Deputy Minister of the Operations Department, but rather somewhat comical.

"You guy, you could have at least greeted me!" Li Shutang gritted his teeth and said to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun naturally knew about Daquan Bao going to find him, so he smiled and said: "Anyway, we were going to make contact sooner or later. I don't think you would refuse such a good opportunity!"

Li Shutang sighed and said: "Indeed, I have no reason to refuse! After all, this concerns Wen Bin's future!" Chen Jiajun said with a strange look: "Then what do you have to complain about?"

"They... didn't give me the bottom line, I feel very uneasy!" Li Shutang said helplessly.

Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "Are you fucking stupid? What is your relationship now? If they gave you the bottom line, wouldn't they be handing the leverage over to you? This kind of thing can only be done, not said!"

"How come I feel like your words are very sleazy!" Li Shutang looked at Chen Jiajun with a strange expression.

"That's an illusion!" Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said: "But they will definitely keep their promise. After all, you are taking my path, and these people still have to give me some face!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun say this, Li Shutang felt relieved: "That's good!"

"Has Wen Bin been making moves against the Number Gang with Daquan Bao recently?" Chen Jiajun asked.

Li Shutang nodded and gave a chuckle: "The situation with the Number Gang is complicated; they have absorbed quite a few 'Daquan boys' in the past. When it comes to dealing with 'Daquan boys,' Daquan Bao is a professional."

Chen Jiajun said indifferently: "Then let them stay busy for a while longer to deepen the impression, and let Daquan Bao observe more. This is very important for Wen Bin; you, as his father, shouldn't interfere."

"I understand!" Li Shutang said with a smile: "But I just saw that you are also preparing to make a move, and you even called Lao Xu over!"

"The ones who slipped through the net of the Number Gang! Since I proposed this matter, I have to tie up the loose ends," Chen Jiajun said helplessly: "Damn it, everyone knows 'Hong Kong King' is just a joke, why does everyone take it seriously?"

Li Shutang shrugged: "Your reputation was just too big back then!"

Obi Restaurant could be said to be the place where the Yi Branch got its start.

This place mainly sells Western food, and the decor is also quite decent.

If it were ten or twenty years ago, this would indeed have been a restaurant with a bit of class.

But now, it seems a bit outdated.

Whether it is the restaurant's decor, the dishes, or the... people inside the restaurant.

"Cheung Suk, you are still such a big eater!" Han Bin said to Feixiang while chewing on a Cigar.

Feixiang is an Elder of the Yi Branch; he was a sworn brother to the original boss of the Yi Branch, and the two of them built their empire together, growing from a single lottery stall into a full-fledged branch.

But people are always selfish; even someone like Feixiang who helped build the empire only managed to secure the status of an Elder of the branch.

As for the boss of the branch, it is now in the hands of Dalao Wen.

Feixiang smiled and said: "For someone like me who has known the fear of hunger, the most important thing in life is eating! If I don't have food to eat, I feel like I'm going to die!"

Han Bin nodded to show he understood: "So Cheung Suk, are you planning to..."

Before Han Bin could finish, Feixiang raised his hand and said: "I don't know what you want to say, but as long as it concerns the society, please spare me the words. Although I am very dissatisfied with Dalao Wen, this is our family business after all!"

Han Bin sneered, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said: "In this current environment, do you still think it's just family business?"

Feixiang put down the fork in his hand, looked at Han Bin, and said: "It seems you know something?"

"How could I not know?" Han Bin sneered and said: "Haven't you noticed that quite a few restless societies in the underworld have already died?"

"Wo Luen Shing, Hung Yee, Tung Sing, the South Asia Gang of Huangchaling..." Han Bin listed several names in one breath, and each one made the fat on Feixiang's body tremble three times: "And your Number Gang!"

Hearing this, Feixiang could not help but reveal a look of fear in his eyes: "This is an attempt to wipe everyone out!"

Han Bin smiled and said: "It's not that extreme! The main thing is that stability is needed. If someone acts recklessly like Dalao Wen, they will definitely get hit, and when that happens, it won't just be you who suffers!"

"Recently, the Xiao Branch and the Zhong Branch were the first to get hit. If your Yi Branch keeps going like this, the time for you to get hit is not far off!"

Feixiang couldn't help but ask: "What about your Hung Hing? Why is Hung Hing able to stay out of it?"

"It's not just our Hung Hing that is staying out of it; isn't Lao Xu of the Sun Yee On a perfect example?" Han Bin smiled faintly: "Besides, our Hung Hing started 'bleaching' our operations years ago, we stopped all our illegal businesses long ago, and our Big Boss has a very good relationship with the authorities back home. Why do you think you can compare to us?"

Feixiang said seriously: "In other words, as long as we don't cause trouble and are obedient, we can survive, right?"

"That's the logic, but not everyone understands this logic!" Han Bin sat with his legs crossed and smiled: "To be honest, I think more highly of you, Cheung Suk, than Dalao Wen! You don't have as much ambition as Dalao Wen, nor are you as good at causing trouble as him. If you take this position, the Yi Branch can be preserved."

"So, which side are you representing to talk to me?" Feixiang stared at Han Bin and said.

Han Bin shrugged and said: "Don't try to fish for information from me; even if you did, I wouldn't admit it!"

"I know what to do now!" Feixiang closed his eyes.

"Feixiang, that old guy, has probably been tolerating Dalao Wen for a long time."

Chen Jiajun said with a smile after hearing Han Bin's report.

Han Bin said with some surprise: "But I felt like that old guy didn't really want to make a move!"

"He was pretending for you to see. Look for yourself!" As he said this, Chen Jiajun handed a file to Han Bin.

Han Bin opened it and discovered it was photos of Feixiang's subordinates with several strangers.

Chen Jiajun introduced: "These guys are all gunmen from Vietnam, and the leader is even a captain from the Special Forces. Long before you went to find Feixiang, he had already contacted these guys. What do you think he wants to do?"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Han Bin was stunned for a moment, then said with an annoyed look: "That bastard Feixiang, he put on quite an act! Waiting to see me make a fool of myself, right!"

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said: "Feixiang isn't that bored. He wanted to use you to scout out information from the outside, and only after confirming it could he act with peace of mind! It was also because you went that gave him the determination to act!"

Han Bin said speechlessly: "But I'm still very unhappy about being treated like a fool!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "As long as the result is achieved, that's all that matters!"

Chen Jiajun only wanted them to kill each other to achieve the effect of winning without a fight.

If Feixiang wasn't strong enough, he would even provide support.

Just as Chen Jiajun expected, once Feixiang had no more worries, he acted decisively. (End of chapter)
