Chapter 506: Breaking the Law While Knowing the Law
"A Jun, regarding security, you don't need to worry about the big picture, but there are some small matters that require you to take charge," Huo Yingnan said, patting Chen Jiajun on the shoulder.
Chen Jiajun frowned and said, "I already wiped them out once last time; are there still people who don't know how to read the room?"
Huo Yingnan's expression was somewhat strange as he said, "This time, it seems it's not just a matter of the triads; it also involves the police. You can get the specifics from that kid Li Wenbin; in any case, it's a bit complicated."
Chen Jiajun nodded: "Fine, I'll go ask him later! I've already handed the list to you; the people from the education sector, the press, and the entertainment industry are all trustworthy. I can't do anything about the rest of the list."
"That's enough. Who doesn't know that your Hongxing Film has the most and the biggest stars! Their promotional ability is still very strong!" Huo Yingnan said with a smile.
Chen Jiajun nodded: "If there's nothing else, I'm heading back. My woman has soup stewing and is waiting for me!"
"Jiahui, right? Remember to bring her along when the day comes!" Huo Yingnan said with a smile: "For such a grand occasion, you must bring your wife."
"Got it! You're getting more and more long-winded, Nan Ge!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile as he stood up to leave.
"You brat!" Huo Yingnan scolded with a laugh, then continued organizing the other lists.
……
Chen Jiajun took what Huo Yingnan said to heart, so he specifically sought out Li Wenbin to inquire about it.
Li Wenbin said helplessly: "It's just a guy named Da Sang from a group called the Hongying Society. He's been stirring up trouble lately, not only hitting other triads' territories but even his own affiliated groups' territories, causing fights on the streets every single day!"
"So the police side sent an undercover into the Hongying Society, preparing to take down all the leaders of the Hongying Society in one fell swoop. Unfortunately... things went wrong halfway through!"
Chen Jiajun was stunned for a moment, then said directly: "The undercover turned?"
"Probably, but we don't have concrete evidence!" Li Wenbin said helplessly: "It's just a guess! Now we police don't dare to move; if we do, these guys will hide and then come out to cause trouble from time to time, which would be even harder to deal with."
"Hongying Society? Is their boss that eunuch named Ren Qingtian?" Chen Jiajun thought for a moment and asked.
Li Wenbin immediately gave a bitter laugh: "Why do you specifically expose people's shortcomings, haha! That's him!"
"Alright, don't worry about this matter; I'll go talk to him," Chen Jiajun said indifferently.
"It would be best if you could step in!" Li Wenbin said immediately.
Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said: "These are all small matters. I want to ask you, how is the cooperation with Daquan Bao going?"
Li Wenbin was silent for a while and said: "Not bad, Dad gets along quite well with him!"
"What? You have a knot in your heart?" Chen Jiajun said to Li Wenbin with a smile.
Li Wenbin said helplessly: "I don't need others to push me up; I have the ability myself, and I'm confident I can do this job well!"
"Your old man is at such an age, isn't he just wanting to see you take over his position?" Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "Alright, I'll find an opportunity to mention it to your Boss, and besides, at your age, sitting in the position of Deputy Commissioner of Police wouldn't do you any good anyway; after all, your seniority is too shallow!"
"Thank you, Uncle Chen!" Li Wenbin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiajun called for Da Fei.
"Boss, what's the rush to call me here?" Da Fei walked into the office with a slouchy, insolent air.
This guy was wearing a high-end suit, yet still had that hooligan vibe, which was truly speechless.
But fortunately, he wasn't as sloppy as before, and since he was mixing in the entertainment circle, he at least paid some attention to his image.
"You have a pretty good relationship with Ren Qingtian of Hongying, right?" Chen Jiajun asked.
"Oh, you mean that guy! He's also started cleaning up his act recently to get into the service industry and real estate; I heard his business is doing quite well!" Da Fei said while chewing gum: "What? Did this kid offend you, Boss? I'll get someone to finish him!"
"You idiot!" Chen Jiajun threw a newspaper at him in annoyance.
Da Fei chuckled: "I know, we're proper businessmen now; I was just joking!"
"Tell Ren Qingtian that one of his subordinates named Da Sang has been very arrogant lately; tell him to hurry up and deal with such a fool! There aren't many days left until the big day, and I don't want to see this kind of trash still wandering the streets!" Chen Jiajun said to Da Fei indifferently.
Da Fei nodded: "Got it, Boss. I'll go talk to Ren Qingtian about this!"
"Alright, here is another list. Tell the stars under you to remember to go to the rehearsal. I spent a lot of effort to squeeze them in, don't let me down!" Chen Jiajun handed the list to Da Fei.
Da Fei was ecstatic after seeing the list: "Hahaha, I'll thank you on behalf of those guys first, Boss! This is a great opportunity!"
After chatting with Chen Jiajun for a while, Da Fei went straight out the door.
He first returned to Hongxing Film to give the list to the person in charge of the company, then drove his bright yellow sports car straight to the Hongying Society.
The Hongying Society was a relatively small triad, the kind that survived in the cracks.
It only occupied some streets in the New Territories, Xianggang Zai, Kowloon, and so on.
Because Ren Qingtian still had some status in the underworld and his men were daring and willing to fight, they had survived until now.
Of course, it also had to do with his scale.
Da Fei had always been well-connected, and he had known Ren Qingtian for many years.
Today, Da Fei suddenly coming over made Ren Qingtian feel a bit strange.
"Long time no see, Da Fei. What brings you here to see me?"
Ren Qingtian entertained Da Fei in the garden of his villa and said with a smile.
Da Fei shook his head and said: "I didn't come to see you on my own; it's Mr. Chen's intention!"
"Mr. Chen?" Ren Qingtian's expression immediately became serious: "I wonder what Mr. Chen wants with me?"
Da Fei also put away his previous unserious smile and said with a serious face: "The Big Boss says you have a guy named Da Sang under you who is too jumpy; tell him to tone it down! The Big Boss doesn't want anyone fighting and killing on the streets during this period!"
Ren Qingtian immediately said: "Please tell the Big Boss to rest assured. I understand what to do and will deal with him as quickly as possible!"
"That's it then!" Da Fei suddenly smiled and patted Ren Qingtian on the shoulder: "I won't lie to you as one of our own; you need to handle this quickly. I don't think the Big Boss is joking! If he really gets angry, it won't just be one or two people who die."
"Understood!" Ren Qingtian chuckled and raised his tea to clink with Da Fei.
Da Fei took a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, then continued: "There's one more thing. There's an undercover mixed in around you, but this guy suddenly turned and has already been abandoned by the police. If it's convenient, just finish him off too!"
"Later, when Han Bin has a plot of land in the New Territories to develop, he'll be short of a construction team. Better to give the benefit to our own people than to outsiders; you understand what I mean, right?"
Ren Qingtian's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "We've been brothers for so many years, how could I not understand! Don't worry, in a week at most, I will make the society quiet down!"
"You said it! I'll remember that!" Da Fei said with a smile: "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving. There's a pile of things waiting for me to handle at the company!"
"I'll see you out!" Ren Qingtian immediately stood up and said.
……
Inside a seafood restaurant.
The atmosphere inside the private room was extremely tense; a man with a fierce expression said unhappily, "How is it that Ren Qingtian still hasn't arrived? How are we supposed to go on waiting like this!" This guy was Dasang, the most popular and powerful figure in the Hongying Society right now.
The others in the private room were Feilong and Bo Shu of the Hongying Society.
Feilong tried to smooth things over, saying, "It's only been ten minutes, just enough time to take a leak!"
"Ten minutes to take a leak? Are you suffering from kidney deficiency?" Dasang said with an arrogant look, not putting the sitting head Ren Qingtian in his eyes at all: "You could have slowly dripped it out by now!"
"What do you mean by that?" Feilong was about to speak, feeling dissatisfied.
At this moment, Ren Qingtian pushed the door open and walked in, starting to apologize before he had even arrived: "Sorry, sorry, traffic jam, my apologies!"
Dasang spoke directly to Ren Qingtian: "Brother Tian, are you here today to be a peacemaker or a troublemaker? Ten minutes, a lot of people have died!"
Before Ren Qingtian could react to this, his bodyguard Jishi, who was by his side, became unhappy: "Dasang, what kind of attitude is that to use when talking to Brother Tian?"
Dasang now had many people and great influence; he didn't even put Ren Qingtian in his eyes, let alone Jishi, the bodyguard.
He said with a wild, arrogant look: "Who do you think you are? When is it your turn to speak!"
Seeing that the two were about to argue, Ren Qingtian immediately smiled and said, "Alright, it's my fault. Everyone, let's have the meeting, let's have the meeting!"
Since Ren Qingtian had taken such a low stance, Dasang couldn't easily find an excuse to lose his temper.
After everyone sat down, Bo Shu, the member with the most seniority in the society, began to speak: "After you swept Ma Ba's territory last month and took it for yourself, you even occupied the territory that your own brother Chen Shisan was caught in the middle of. Do you want to cover the sky with one hand?"
Dasang said disdainfully: "Ching Yee Sik, it's very easy to manage, isn't it? Isn't it better that he retired?"
Dasang's arrogance was something the entire society could not tolerate.
This guy was the youngest and had the greatest influence, which had long since aroused the wariness of others in the society.
Feilong sneered directly at Dasang and said, "According to you, shouldn't we just hand our business over to the newly appointed Chief Executive? Wouldn't that be even easier to manage?"
Dasang's expression darkened: "That's not how you put it. In this world, the capable should occupy the position. Shisan's territory was already in shambles; now that I'm managing it, it's more prosperous than Mong Kok. It's good for him too!"
Ren Qingtian said with a smile: "Dasang, I know you have great ambition and want to unify the world, but the problem is that it won't work! Among the Four Great Societies in Hong Kong, how many are still doing this kind of business now? Hong Kong is changing, everything is changing. People are wearing suits and ties, and you're out there fighting and killing? You're outdated!"
Dasang couldn't listen to any of it; he spread his hands and said, "So there's no room for negotiation then? Everyone is ganging up on me!"
Bo Shu shook his head and said, "Don't say that, Dasang. Brothers, let's sit down and talk things out!"
"I'm telling you all, ever since I, Dasang, came out of my mother's womb, my tongue has been crooked; I don't know how to talk in circles. I, Dasang, have many people and much money now; I am the most powerful in the entire society. If anyone is not convinced by me, I can split the family, or I can switch clubs! There are plenty of people who would welcome me!"
Dasang stood up directly and said to everyone.
Feilong immediately slapped the table and stood up: "Who are you trying to scare! Dasang! Relying on the fact that you have many people?"
"I am relying on having many people. When I say one, no one dares to say two!" Dasang argued arrogantly with Feilong.
But at this moment, a Majai beside Ren Qingtian spoke up: "Many people? Can you compare to the Israeli Prime Minister Rabin? One person could finish him off!"
"Who are you, who do you think you are!" Dasang immediately roared at the Majai.
"My name is MIKE, I work for Brother Tian." MIKE was completely unafraid and said coldly.
Dasang was furious: "No respect for seniority, I'll slaughter you, you bastard!"
At this time, the smile suddenly vanished from Ren Qingtian's face; he toyed with his wine glass and said, "Speaking of no respect for seniority, you can't compare to yourself, Dasang! I am the head of the company regardless; you are shouting about switching clubs in front of me? That just means you don't put me in your eyes at all!"
Hearing Ren Qingtian's words, Dasang immediately calmed down.
No matter what, Ren Qingtian was still the sitting head of the Hongying Society; if he really angered him, he wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the underworld in the future.
After a moment of silence, Dasang sat down and said, "It's my fault, I have a foul mouth, I said the wrong thing!"
After saying this, the guy had his underling pour a cup of tea and send it to Ren Qingtian, then said unhappily: "Today I'm giving the boss face; I will hand over Shisan's territory. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving!"
Just after walking two steps, he suddenly turned his head and said to MIKE: "I'll remember you, kid!"
Watching Dasang leave, Bo Shu said with dissatisfaction: "This thing is truly outrageous!"
Feilong also followed up: "The world is going downhill, no respect for seniority!"
Ren Qingtian smiled faintly: "This circle is specifically for cleaning up arrogant people. Let's see how long he can be arrogant!"
Afterwards, he said to MIKE: "You really have quite a lot of guts!"
"I'm just speaking reason," MIKE said with a smile.
"Don't do this next time!" After Ren Qingtian finished speaking, he also stood up, preparing to leave the private room.
……
On Chen Jiajun's side, he was busy to the point of exhaustion over the affairs of the Homecoming Committee.
It sounds simple, but it is actually extremely troublesome to carry out.
Not to mention that he also had to help Huo Yingnan handle some matters; in any case, he hadn't even really been home these past few days.
This caused the few women at home to complain endlessly.
"Boss, the matter has been handled. The most popular people from the Hong Kong Artists Association will all go! There was no difficulty at all!" Da Fei pushed open the door to Chen Jiajun's office boisterously and said loudly.
But as soon as he pushed the door open, Da Fei saw several faces full of resentment.
Chen Jiajun certainly couldn't handle the preparations for the Homecoming Committee all by himself.
So he had transferred Su Xingbai, Wei Li, Lin Yutian (Menggui Tian), and others back to help.
The few of them were tired like dogs; seeing this guy Da Fei so relaxed, how could they not be full of resentment.
Seeing this, Da Fei immediately restrained his smile.
These big bosses were all people he couldn't afford to offend; it wouldn't be good if they made things difficult for him later.
So he hurriedly added: "By the way, Boss, and on Ren Qingtian's side, this guy promised me that he would settle the unstable factor of Dasang within a week."
Chen Jiajun rubbed his brow and nodded: "Got it! Put more heart into the artists' side; just don't let any troublesome things happen! And there are a few who are a bit loose-lipped; tell them to shut up at this time!"
"I don't care how they see it, but don't come out and make trouble at this time! They can do whatever they want afterwards, but if they cause trouble, I'll come looking for you first. Understand?"
Da Fei nodded hurriedly: "Understood, Boss, I will handle this matter well!"
"Hmm, get the matter on Ren Qingtian's side settled as soon as possible; I still have to say something to Li Wenbin's side." Chen Jiajun waved his hand and let Da Fei get lost. (End of chapter)
