Chapter 507: Going Home!

The next day, MIKE was summoned to Ren Qingtian's villa.

Although Ren Qingtian was somewhat suspicious, he had not confirmed that MIKE was an Undercover for the police.

However, Ren Qingtian intended to deal with Da Sang, and he needed a fresh face to get things done.

It just so happened that such a person existed, and it would be a waste not to use him.

After MIKE arrived, Ren Qingtian said directly, "You're here, I have something for you to do!"

MIKE immediately asked, "What is it that you need me to handle?"

MIKE had gained a firm foothold in the Hongying Society and was impatient to climb the ranks.

After all, compared to being a Police, the life of a society member seemed to suit him better.

"Regarding Da Sang..." Ren Qingtian hesitated for a moment before saying.

But before Ren Qingtian could finish, his trusted subordinate Laji said directly, "That guy is heartless and ungrateful, I'll go settle him!"

"You're crazy!" Ren Qingtian rolled his eyes and said, "Wouldn't that be our own people fighting our own people?"

Laji knew he had spoken too much, so he suggested directly, "Then let's find an outsider to do it!"

Ren Qingtian frowned and said nothing.

MIKE rushed to show his worth and quickly said, "I understand, leave this matter to me and let me try."

Ren Qingtian did not say much, only nodding slowly.

That guy Da Sang was arrogant and domineering, and had long since made enemies everywhere.

This guy was also afraid of death; he had several lackeys at home specifically to protect his wife and children.

Two days later was the full-month celebration for Da Sang's son, and MIKE planned to use this opportunity to set a trap for Da Sang.

So he specifically asked Ren Qingtian to entrust the task of delivering the gift to him, then found someone to get two bags of Laundry Powder and stuffed them into the gift.

When the time came, he carried a large bag of gifts to Da Sang's home.

After delivering the gift to Da Sang's home, MIKE set it down and said to Da Sang, "Brother Sang, it's the child's full-month today, Brother Tian asked me to bring some well-wishes!"

Da Sang took a glance and said directly to MIKE, "Take it all away!"

MIKE immediately said with an awkward expression, "Brother Sang, you can't be serious?"

"What do you mean I can't? I told you to take it away!" Da Sang's face darkened immediately, and he said loudly.

"It's very hard for us subordinates to do our jobs!" Since he was preparing to set a trap for Da Sang, MIKE appeared very restrained, completely lacking the arrogance he had shown when he stood up to Da Sang at the hotel that day.

Da Sang, however, pressed his advantage and said coldly, "I want to make it hard for you, you little bastard!"

"Brother Tian ordered me to do this, I must see it through!" MIKE said with a fawning smile.

Da Sang had someone open the window and then held the gift, making a gesture to throw it down: "Are you going to take it away yourself, or should I throw it down!"

MIKE had no choice but to stand up and apologize: "Brother Sang, the last time was my fault, please forgive me!"

A look of brutality suddenly appeared on Da Sang's face, and he punched and kicked MIKE, shouting while cursing: "What? Now you know how to be afraid? Isn't it too late? You son of a bitch!"

After taking a beating, MIKE waved his hand and said, "Brother Sang, are you satisfied now? Let's just call it even between us!"

"Even? I'm not finished with you!" Da Sang said coldly, "I'm giving Brother Tian face today, so we'll stop here for now! Get lost!"

Seeing that Da Sang had finally accepted the items, a strange smile appeared at the corner of MIKE's mouth.

Then he left Da Sang's home in a submissive manner.

Just as Da Sang was holding his son and talking, a subordinate suddenly looked downstairs and said to Da Sang, "Boss, the cops are here!"

"Hold the son and go into the room first." Da Sang took a look, then looked downstairs, and sure enough, a police car had driven up: "Tch, we aren't selling powder, and we aren't kidnapping anyone, what is there to be afraid of!"

Soon the doorbell rang, and a group of Police walked in holding a Shouchaling: "We are the Police, this is a court Shouchaling, who is the homeowner? We are coming inside to search!"

"Of course it's me, could it be them?" Da Sang walked over and said to the Police with a flippant tone.

The Police said indifferently to his subordinates, "Get to work!"

Soon the Police broke into Da Sang's home and began searching everywhere.

"Officer, we found something!"

Soon, they found two bags of Laundry Powder among the pile of gifts MIKE had brought.

When Da Sang saw this stuff, he was immediately dumbfounded and quickly explained, "Police Constable, this stuff isn't mine, someone just brought it over!"

But the Police couldn't be bothered to listen to him and said directly, "Go tell that to the judge!"

"Hey, it's my son's full-month today, give me some face!" Da Sang's eyes darted around.

He was no law-abiding citizen, but a Big Brother of a society.

If he really went to court, even if it wasn't his, it would become his, so he absolutely could not fall into the hands of the Police.

"Go tell the judge!" the Police said coldly.

But no one expected that Da Sang would suddenly lash out and knock the Police to the ground.

Afterward, Da Sang's subordinates swarmed forward to block the Police's pursuit, creating time for him to escape.

Da Sang fled in a panic to the Kitchen and opened the window directly.

However, he didn't jump down, but instead took off his jacket and threw it to a lackey downstairs, telling the lackey to wear his clothes and run quickly.

As for himself, he climbed up along the building's water pipe.

Seeing the person wearing Da Sang's clothes fleeing in a panic, the Police immediately called for backup and chased after the lackey.

Da Sang laughed triumphantly: "These cops are all idiots, do I have to jump down? Have they watched too many action movies? Morons!"

As he spoke, Da Sang had already climbed to the roof.

But he didn't expect to see an unexpected person on the roof.

It was MIKE, whom he had already driven away.

"Brother Sang!"

Mike lit a cigarette, looking down at Da Sang from a superior position, his mouth full of mockery.

The Laundry Powder was planted by him, the Police were brought in by him; he had orchestrated all of this.

It was all to get rid of that idiot, Da Sang.

Da Sang was now hanging in mid-air, his whole person panicked to the extreme.

He hurriedly said to Mike, "Brother Mike, I'm sorry, forgive me!"

Mike sneered and said, "Brother Sang, I'm sorry too!"

As he spoke, he reached out his hand directly, pressed it against Da Sang's face, and pushed him straight off the roof.

Watching Da Sang fall from the roof and his waist smash heavily against the iron gate, Mike revealed a smug smile, then left the building.

Da Sang's death was very good news for the Hongying Society.

After all, during this period, no one wanted to come out and stir up trouble.

Didn't you see that the Four Great Societies—Wo Shing Wo, 14K, Sun Yee On, and Hong Hing—were all behaving themselves? If their small society jumped out, were they tired of living? Getting rid of Da Sang served the interests of everyone in the society.

However, on the surface, as the leader, Ren Qingtian still prepared a funeral for Da Sang.

"I am also very sad about Da Sang's matter," Ren Qingtian said in a low tone. "I will also help take care of his wife and children! His territory also needs someone to manage it."

A Hall Master of the society hurriedly said, "That's right, Brother Tian! Ma Ba's people are already eyeing it covetously!"

Hearing this Hall Master speak, everyone nodded one after another, with the posture of being ready to carve up the meat at any time.

Ren Qingtian sat down with the group from the society, then took out a map and said, "Peter, you have always been responsible for Wanchai, so it will still be handed to you!"

"North of Bowrington Road, Cong, you manage it! For Sheung Wan, Sai Ying Pun, and those places, Laji, you take them!"

Laji immediately revealed a smile: "Brother Tian, you call the shots!"

Ren Qingtian spread his hands and said, "Now in Hongying, there are only three of us left with high seniority: myself, Bo Shu, and Feilong. I will manage the accounts alone! Kowloon goes to Bo Shu, Feilong manages the New Territories, and Aberdeen will be..."

Ren Qingtian cast his gaze toward the impatient Mike, then smiled and said, "It will be handed to you!" Mike immediately couldn't help but reveal a smile and hurriedly said to Ren Qingtian, "Thank you, Boss!"

Peter smiled and said, "Congratulations, Brother Mike, now you are one of the Four Great Kings!"

Ren Qingtian raised his red wine glass and smiled, saying, "Let's toast!"

Everyone had received the benefits they deserved, only Laji seemed to appear somewhat unhappy!

After everyone had left, Laji found Ren Qingtian: "Boss, I don't understand, why did you promote that kid?"

Ren Qingtian's expression sank, and he said to Laji, "What, you don't accept my decision?"

Laji hurriedly said, "Boss, I've followed you for over twenty years, do you think I'm that kind of person? I just think this kid... has some problems!"

Ren Qingtian chuckled: "You think if you can see it, I wouldn't be able to?"

"Huh?" Laji was immediately stunned: "Then you..."

Ren Qingtian shook his head and said, "Someone told me that a few Undercover agents have infiltrated our society, and I have been investigating who they are! Now it seems the most suspicious ones are this Mike and Cong!"

"So I gave all the dirty work to them to do. Can't you see that? The faster one climbs, the faster one dies!"

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Laji: "Sorry Boss, I didn't know..."

"Alright, just keep this to yourself, and carry on as usual!" Ren Qingtian instructed, "Don't let anyone see any flaws."

Laji said to Ren Qingtian with some helplessness: "Boss, I'm not good at acting."

Laji naturally understood Ren Qingtian's meaning, but asking him to perform high-level operations like acting was truly a bit difficult for him.

Ren Qingtian said irritably, "Just keep a cold face in front of Mike and act like you're annoyed by him! That kid thinks he's so clever for using a scheme to calculate against that hothead Da Sang, he definitely won't be able to tell."

Laji could only scratch the back of his head and say, "I can only try my best!"

Ren Qingtian nodded: "There are only two days left until the time to return home. Warn the underlings to stay in the venues and behave themselves during this time; no one is allowed to cause trouble! If I find out, I will absolutely show no mercy!"

Laji hurriedly nodded: "I understand, Boss!"

After Laji left, Ren Qingtian turned on the television, and the person being interviewed on the screen happened to be none other than Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun, who also came from a background as a gangster, was now on a completely different level from people like them in the societies.

Those around him were either political dignitaries or wealthy businessmen, and wherever he went, people respectfully addressed him as "Sir."

This was what Ren Qingtian wanted but could not obtain.

The homecoming banquet was held at the Grand Hall of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre's new wing.

This day was exceptionally grand, with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere.

Because on this day, Hong Kong finally ended England's one hundred and fifty-six years of colonization here.

On this day, England's national flag was finally taken down.

The troops stationed in Hong Kong also began the handover.

The Police all removed the badges representing the Queen of England and replaced them with the Bauhinia, the symbol of Hong Kong.

At the banquet scene, the elders of the family attended in person.

Accompanying them were a few big bosses, and the rest were all people from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

The most eye-catching thing was a young man mixed in among a group of old men.

Chen Jiajun wore a low-key black formal suit today, supporting an elder as he walked into the exhibition hall.

No title of Justice of the Peace or Knight could compare to the honor of walking this path.

After the banquet began, stars from Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Hongxing Film attended and performed, which could be considered star-studded.

At such an important moment, no one was blind enough to come out and cause trouble.

The handover was very peaceful.

At midnight, fireworks were set off over Victoria Harbour.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jiajun suddenly had the illusion of being in a different lifetime.

Afterwards, the elders raised their wine glasses, and everyone drank to victory, representing the arrival of a new era!

Chen Jiajun did not participate in anything after the banquet.

Chen Jiajun had never been interested in political affairs; since Huo Yingnan had already designated him as the successor to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the business world, he did not want to get too close to the political sphere.

However, during the evening banquet, Chen Jiajun mentioned the matter of the Asian financial crisis to his elders.

If the situation in Indonesia was not yet obvious, the things happening again over in Thailand already showed some slight signs.

Although the elders did not say much, the meaning they expressed was very clear: if those speculative Gweilo and capital sharks wanted to lay a finger on Hong Kong, they would absolutely be sent back with nothing but their bare backsides.

With the elders' words, Chen Jiajun set his mind at ease.

After the homecoming banquet ended, he summoned his core team from the Main Association the next day.

Luo Minsheng, Zhuo Yu, and Sima Nianzu were already raising funds, preparing to make a big move by riding the momentum of this Asian financial crisis.

Chen Jiajun also cast his gaze toward overseas markets, preparing to observe the direction of the wind.

The first to be affected was Thailand, where foreign exchange and other financial markets were in complete chaos.

This was the easiest target for international speculators to attack.

Once the Thai baht was breached, what awaited it was a total rout all the way down.

This rout would form a storm, beginning to sweep across the whole of Asia.

What Chen Jiajun was considering was whether to stop the formation of this storm.

It was just that after exchanging ideas with Luo Minsheng, Zhuo Yu, Sima Nianzu, and several finance professors invited from Hong Kong University, he discovered that no matter what was done, it was impossible to turn the tide.

This collapse was systemic; it was simply not something that could be blocked by human effort.

Unless... several countries could join forces! But such a thing was merely a thought; among the countries in Southeast Asia, which ones could join forces?

Not fighting when they met was already giving each other plenty of face.

All Chen Jiajun could do was sweep the snow from his own doorstep and not worry about the frost on his neighbor's roof.

After having a concrete plan, Chen Jiajun began to mobilize resources from Hong Kong, Macau, and Boni.

As for Taiwan, Chen Jiajun also sent a warning to Haitang.

Haitang's Donghu Group of the Donghu Gang in Taiwan also had quite a few investments; under Chen Jiajun's warning, Haitang also adopted a defensive posture, not intending to make any moves during this period.

Although it would cause a certain degree of loss, at this time, whoever lost less was the winner!

Inside Chen Jiajun's luxury mansion, Guan Jiahui came to his study with a look of heartache.

Because of the financial crisis, Chen Jiajun had only slept for a few hours these past few days.

Whenever Guan Jiahui woke up, she would find the light in Chen Jiajun's study still on.

"Why did you come in!" Chen Jiajun put down the work in his hands and smiled as he pulled Guan Jiahui over.

Guan Jiahui sat on Chen Jiajun's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said, "I just saw that you've been looking very tired lately!"

"It's nothing, it will be fine once this period passes!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

Guan Jiahui said helplessly, "You only know how to fob me off! I heard you've been mobilizing funds everywhere lately; tell me honestly, is something big about to happen!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "It is indeed a big matter, but when have you ever seen your man lose?"

"Although I don't know what happened, but..." Guan Jiahui rarely interfered in Chen Jiajun's affairs, but this time she felt Chen Jiajun was exceptionally tense, and she said worriedly, "Can it not be avoided?"

"Obviously not!" Chen Jiajun spread his hands and said, "They've already reached our doorstep, we can't just not fight back! Alright, be a good girl and go to sleep; when I'm done with this period, I'll take you all to Europe for a trip. Isn't that where you've always wanted to go?"

Chen Jiajun kissed Guan Jiahui, then sent her out of the study.

In this battle, although it was a guaranteed win, Chen Jiajun had to seize the greatest profit!

He had to ensure that those negotiating international speculators went back with their bare backsides! (End of chapter)
