Chapter 518: Anti-Corruption Storm

The strangest thing was that the person staring at him even carried a hint of malice.

Chen Jiajun suddenly became curious.

Given his relationship with his hometown and his current status, for someone to still dare to stare at him like that—could it be that they had a grudge against him? Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun followed the gaze and looked over.

Although the other party quickly withdrew their gaze, Chen Jiajun still clearly saw what that guy looked like.

He immediately asked the Chinese Capital Merchant beside him: "What's that guy's background?"

The Chinese Capital Merchant looked at the person Chen Jiajun was pointing at and said with a smile: "Oh, Lawyer Hu, he's been very famous in the legal industry lately, specializing in commercial lawsuits for people!"

Hearing the Chinese Capital Merchant's introduction, Chen Jiajun silently memorized the man's appearance, planning to find someone to investigate him later.

In his impression, he certainly had not offended such a guy.

Yet the other party had set their sights on him, which immediately piqued Chen Jiajun's interest.

While he was chatting and laughing with a few people from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the person in charge of the Special Administrative Region Government's Hong Kong Monetary Authority walked over.

"Mr. Chen, you certainly made me search for you!" The head of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority smiled, reached out, and shook hands with Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun's plan had saved the Special Administrative Region Government from the risk of being crushed by Soros and had even made the government a profit, so naturally, they had to show some appreciation.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "You flatter me; I only did what I was supposed to do!"

The head smiled and said: "Not everyone has the level of awareness that Mr. Chen has. Time for a photo, come join us!"

Faced with the other party's enthusiasm, Chen Jiajun was helplessly dragged over to take a photo.

From the position where he was standing, one could tell that among the crowd of merchants, Chen Jiajun was standing in the absolute center.

After the photo, several officials from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Securities and Futures Commission found Chen Jiajun: "This is the chairman of the Care Fund, Xu Huaijing. I probably don't need to introduce Mr. Chen here, do I?"

Xu Huaijing revealed a smile, shook hands with Chen Jiajun, and said: "Who in Hong Kong doesn't know Mr. Chen's great name?"

Chen Jiajun looked at this Chairman Xu with some amusement; if he remembered correctly, that malicious gaze from earlier had included him.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, the head of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority spoke directly: "I heard that Mr. Chen has Ahong Hing Charitable Foundation under his name?"

"That's right!" Chen Jiajun nodded.

The two smiled and said: "Then is Mr. Chen interested in managing the government's 15 billion Care Fund?"

"Whoa, that's a big move!" Chen Jiajun said with some surprise.

The head of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority smiled and said: "Since the Special Administrative Region Government has made money, we must take out a portion of the funds to improve the living conditions of Hong Kong citizens!"

However, faced with the 15 billion Care Fund, Chen Jiajun had no intention of taking it on.

For one, this capital was too troublesome and simply not something the Hong Hing Charitable Foundation under Chen Jiajun could manage.

Moreover, this matter was relatively sensitive for him.

It wouldn't look good if rumors of money-for-power deals spread later.

So Chen Jiajun shook his head and said: "Sorry, my Hong Hing Charitable Foundation has always operated independently, and because our manpower is limited, the government's 15 billion Care Fund would likely not be able to be utilized effectively if placed with me!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's direct refusal, the faces of the few people present all showed expressions of surprise.

But they quickly felt relieved; after all, in this battle, Chen Jiajun had earned no less than the Special Administrative Region Government, so if he were to take on this Care Fund, it would inevitably invite gossip.

However, a flash of pleasant surprise appeared in Xu Huaijing's eyes; clearly, he had not expected Chen Jiajun to turn down money even when it was delivered to his doorstep.

Since Chen Jiajun didn't want it, they couldn't force him, so they could only exchange a few pleasantries before dropping the matter.

This made Xu Huaijing look very happy, and he immediately followed the two big shots away.

But Chen Jiajun watched Xu Huaijing's back and smiled playfully.

Clearly, this chairman of the government Care Fund, Xu Huaijing, definitely had issues.

However, without evidence, Chen Jiajun never spoke out of turn; he simply waited until he returned home to have his Information Officer get the files on both men for him, the more detailed, the better.

The next morning, the files on the two men were laid out on Chen Jiajun's desk.

They looked very ordinary, with nothing strange about them.

But the more this was the case, the more suspicious Chen Jiajun felt.

Especially that Xu Huaijing, who had been so happy he could have jumped for joy after hearing that he had given up on managing the Care Fund.

Clearly, these people intended to pull some tricks within the Care Fund.

There was just too much profit to be made from this 15 billion government-led fund.

To skim off even a little would be a huge sum of money; it would be a lie to say no one was tempted.

So Chen Jiajun directly summoned Silva, intending to have him go see what the situation was personally.

One thing Chen Jiajun could be certain of was that there must be someone behind this Xu Huaijing and Hu Zhiyong.

Otherwise, for the two of them to try and get money from the Care Fund would undoubtedly be a pipe dream.

After Silva took on the mission, he took some men to investigate.

Hong Kong was much more convenient than the United States; after all, this was one of Chen Jiajun's home bases.

And it was just investigating a few lawyers and a foundation chairman, which was simply too easy.

After Chen Jiajun threw the matter to Silva, he planned to turn on the television to see what the recent news was.

Just as he switched to the news channel, he saw a big headline.

Luo Deyong, a well-known accountant in Hong Kong with the reputation of being the "Godfather of the Hong Kong Accounting Industry," was actually implicated in a money laundering case.

And he was being investigated by the Police's Commercial Crime Bureau.

Chen Jiajun had heard of Luo Deyong's name; if one really counted, his own head accountant, Zhuo Yu, was actually a protégé of Luo Deyong's protégé.

At this moment, in an office building in Central.

A large group of Police burst in and directly flashed their badges at the front desk: "Police, help us seal the elevators, leave only one for us to go up to the 34th floor! Thank you!"

The front desk did not dare to delay and immediately ordered the people around them: "Seal the elevators!"

After sealing the elevators, a group of Police headed straight for the thirty-fourth floor, to the Luo Deyong Accounting Firm.

This operation was the handiwork of the Commercial Crime Bureau.

And the person leading it was the Tomorrow's Star of the Police Force, Huang Wenbin, who had been promoted to Superintendent at only thirty-two years old.

Although he was a bit inferior compared to Li Wenbin, not everyone could be compared to Li Wenbin.

Within the Police Force, Huang Wenbin could indeed live up to the title of "Tomorrow's Star."

The Police burst into Luo Deyong's accounting firm and immediately stated their identities: "We are the Commercial Crime Bureau. This is a court Shouchaling; everyone, hands off the computers and onto the desks!"

At this moment, seeing the Police arrive, Luo Deyong immediately returned to his office and locked the office door.

This action also drew the attention of the Police.

They immediately rushed to the office door and barked: "Police, open the door!"

Luo Deyong could not care about that much anymore and frantically deleted data on his computer.

Soon, the Police called over the person in charge to open Luo Deyong's office. He shouted sternly: "I told you to stop, what are you doing?"

Just at this moment, Huang Wenbin spoke up: "A He, tell the colleagues to move all the computers and files back; I'll handle things here!"

The Police officer nodded: "Yes, sir!"

After his subordinates went out, only Huang Wenbin and Luo Deyong remained in the office.

Huang Wenbin smiled at Luo Deyong and said: "Mr. Luo, the godfather of the Hong Kong accounting world! You've got skills, moving so fast! But it's useless; what era is this? No matter how you delete it, you can't wipe it clean!"

"Don't talk about me taking it back to our Police Force; even in Mong Kok or the Golden Plaza, anyone could find back what you deleted!"

Luo Deyong's expression was sorrowful, as if he had resigned himself to his fate, and he sat in his chair without saying a word.

But at this moment, Huang Wenbin suddenly changed his tone and said: "Unless the entire computer disappears, the judge won't be able to do anything either!"

As Huang Wenbin spoke, he directly opened Luo Deyong's trash can, then closed Luo Deyong's laptop and threw the whole thing inside.

Luo Deyong's eyes widened instantly, completely unable to understand why the Police officer in front of him would help him cover up evidence.

Huang Wenbin buttoned his suit jacket, walked straight out of Luo Deyong's office, and left with his subordinates.

The next day, the Police received interviews from the media.

It was still Huang Wenbin who stepped forward to accept the Reporter's interview.

After all, within the Police Force's Commercial Crime Bureau, Superintendent Huang Wenbin was somewhat of a figure.

And he had always had a good image with the media, so the Police Force naturally would send him out.

"Hello, friends in the media!" Huang Wenbin sat down and began to formally accept the interview.

The Reporter was not polite and asked directly: "Superintendent Huang, regarding the sensational money laundering case of the Luo and Chen Accounting Firm, why did you suddenly release the people after your Commercial Crime Bureau investigated?"

Huang Wenbin smiled and said: "Up to now, we do not have sufficient evidence, so there will be no further action!"

"Does this mean that accountant Luo Deyong is innocent?" the Reporter asked curiously.

Huang Wenbin smiled and said: "You could say that, but I must reiterate that we, the Commercial Crime Bureau, will never tolerate any money laundering activities!"

Huang Wenbin handled these Reporters very smoothly, but there was one person who was unhappy.

That was the other person in charge of the Luo and Chen Accounting Firm, Chen Zhicai.

It was he who prepared the materials to report to the Police about the matter of the great accountant Luo Deyong helping people launder money.

Now, seeing this situation, he was furious; since the Police also had problems, he mailed the prepared materials to the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Chen Jiajun finished watching the news on the television in his office and immediately discovered the oddity.

Logically speaking, the Commercial Crime Bureau should have had absolute certainty before they could apply to the court for a Shouchaling.

And only then could they lead people to burst directly into Luo Deyong's accounting firm.

Otherwise, with Luo Deyong's connections that were spread far and wide.

Never mind a small Superintendent, even if the Deputy Commissioner personally stepped in, he would likely be in big trouble.

But the weird thing was exactly here: Huang Wenbin led people to burst directly into Luo Deyong's office, and without finding evidence, he retreated unscathed; this was very contrary to common sense.

If Luo Deyong really had no problems, those companies that hired him to do things could each file a complaint, and they would complain until Huang Wenbin vomited.

Because Huang Wenbin's actions even implicated those Big Bosses behind Luo Deyong.

But strangely, it was calm and peaceful.

Luo Deyong was fine, and Huang Wenbin still appeared in front of the media.

This situation was very intriguing.

However, this kind of thing had nothing to do with Chen Jiajun; the Guojun Group had its own great accountant, Zhuo Yu.

So for some commercial cooperation, there was no need to go looking for these expensive big accounting firms.

Chen Jiajun was just watching for fun; he wasn't really the "Hong Kong King," so how could he manage so many things?

Chen Jiajun didn't care, but some people did.

For example, the current Investigative Officer of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Lu Zhilian.

This kid, who once had a grudge against Chen Jiajun, was now also a guy holding real power.

The reason he set his sights on this case, besides receiving the report letter from Chen Zhicai, was another gain.

Early this morning, just as the Independent Commission Against Corruption started work, a woman dressed very fashionably walked in.

"How may I help you?"

The woman wearing sunglasses said directly to the front desk of the Independent Commission Against Corruption: "I want to report Superintendent Huang Wenbin for taking dirty money!"

The woman's words immediately alarmed Lu Zhilian; this case was already inseparable from Huang Wenbin, and now that he heard someone wanted to report him, he naturally would not let it go.

Soon, the woman was invited into the reception room.

After sitting down, the woman directly took out a photograph and handed it to the person from the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

"Look, three days ago, I saw him bring back a bag and secretly hide it in a hidden compartment in the cabinet! He thought I was asleep, so he went to take a shower. I snuck it out to look, and there was at least ten million inside!"

The woman continued, "He is just a small Superintendent with an annual salary of only one million; how could he possibly have ten million! It must be corruption!"

The member of the Independent Commission Against Corruption nodded and said, "Ms. Jiang Huiling, what is your relationship with Huang Wenbin?"

"Husband and wife."

"Are there any problems with your relationship?"

"That rotten man Huang Wenbin, he changed completely after he became a Superintendent."

At this moment, Lu Zhilian in the observation room noticed something wrong with Jiang Huiling's face, so he had the interrogating Director Lu ask her to take off her sunglasses.

Director Lu naturally followed suit, and after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Huiling took off her sunglasses, revealing the bruises around her eyes.

Jiang Huiling became even angrier: "Huang Wenbin is simply not human; he gambles and visits prostitutes all day long! I hired a private investigator to follow him, and when the evidence was conclusive, he grabbed my hair and slammed it against the wall! He is simply a rotten man, worse than a rotten man!"

Jiang Huiling appeared very agitated and began to shout loudly.

The people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption had no choice but to try their best to soothe her.

Therefore, Lu Zhilian immediately found his superior, Independent Commission Against Corruption Commissioner Yu Hongsheng.

"You want to investigate Huang Wenbin?" Yu Hongsheng appeared somewhat surprised.

Lu Zhilian said calmly, "The prima facie evidence is established."

Yu Hongsheng sighed and said, "Huang Wenbin is a rising star of the Police Force. You must know that the relationship between our Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Police Force has always been very tense; you must handle this carefully!"

Lu Zhilian immediately laughed: "I plan to invite him back today to assist with the investigation!"

"Do not act until after three o'clock!" Yu Hongsheng instructed.

"Very well, I will invite him back for coffee at a quarter past three!" Lu Zhilian replied readily. (End of chapter)
