Chapter 586: Cai Yuanqi

Facing the wrath of the Security Bureau, even Cai Yuanqi, the Commissioner of Police, had no choice but to bow his head.

The other party had come representing the Secretary for Security, Lu Minghua.

If he dared to feign compliance while acting in opposition, the next person to come and cause him trouble would be Lu Minghua himself.

At this current juncture, Cai Yuanqi could not afford to lose his position as the top cop.

At the very least, during his term, he absolutely could not let that happen.

Therefore, he still stood up and, taking Kuang Zhili with him, headed toward the interrogation room.

At this moment, Chen Jiajun was still playing Fight the Landlord with his lawyers; seeing Cai Yuanqi arrive, he remained as arrogant as ever, fiddling with the cards in his hand while saying to Cai Yuanqi, "Cai Yuanqi, right? I heard you wanted to have a chat with me, so I came over!"

Cai Yuanqi managed to force a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, this matter is a misunderstanding!"

"A misunderstanding?" Chen Jiajun looked playfully at the Superintendent beside Cai Yuanqi, Kuang Zhili, and said, "That's not what this Superintendent beside you told me earlier!"

Hearing Chen Jiajun aim his spearhead at him, Kuang Zhili instantly felt his hair stand on end.

If he had been able to act so unscrupulous before, it was only because he could rely on Cai Yuanqi to protect him.

But now that people from the Security Bureau had stepped in, he did not think Cai Yuanqi could protect him anymore.

This made Kuang Zhili feel a chill run down his spine.

Cai Yuanqi would not let Kuang Zhili be taken down by Chen Jiajun just like that; after all, Kuang Zhili was his confidant, and if he let Chen Jiajun finish him off, who would dare to work for him, Cai Yuanqi, in the future?

So, he bit the bullet and said to Chen Jiajun, "Young people can be a bit impulsive sometimes; I hope you, Mr. Chen, won't hold it against him!"

By all accounts, Cai Yuanqi had already been sufficiently subservient.

An ordinary tycoon, out of respect for the Commissioner of Police, should have taken the hint and let the matter slide.

But who was Chen Jiajun?

Back when the Gweilo held the absolute advantage, he had confronted them whenever he pleased, let alone now.

So Chen Jiajun sneered, threw the poker cards in his hand directly into Cai Yuanqi's face, and said, "Cai Yuanqi, who the hell do you think you are! Do you think I'll just let it go because you said a few soft words?"

"You plotted with the Huang Family back home to cause me trouble, and you even dared to issue an arrest warrant yourself—do you think I'll just let this go?"

Cai Yuanqi considered himself the elite of the elite, often harboring a sense of superiority.

But today, facing Chen Jiajun's insults, he found that he could do absolutely nothing.

Chen Jiajun said coldly, "Remember this: I am not finished with you people. You had better not let me find an opportunity, otherwise... hmph hmph!"

Saying this, Chen Jiajun took his two lawyers and swaggered straight out of the interrogation room.

Seeing the scattered poker cards before him, Cai Yuanqi noticed two cards stuck to his collar.

Pulling them out, he discovered they were the two "ghost cards" from the deck—the Jokers.

At this moment, Cai Yuanqi's appearance really did look a bit like a clown!...

After leaving, Chen Jiajun went to a tea restaurant with Huang Dawen to have breakfast.

Having left home in a rage this morning, he hadn't eaten anything yet.

Once Chen Jiajun arrived at the tea restaurant, he ordered a pork chop rice and a platter combo and began to eat heartily; Huang Dawen had many things to attend to, so he left after he was full.

After Chen Jiajun had eaten his fill, he looked up and found that Li Wenbin was sitting across from him, though he didn't know when he had arrived.

"How come you're here, kid?" Chen Jiajun wiped his mouth with a napkin and said casually.

Li Wenbin wore a bitter expression and said, "Uncle Chen, you haven't told me what the matter is yet!"

Chen Jiajun shook his head speechlessly and said, "You, as a father, are even worse than Li Shutang. At least your father always keeps an eye on your safety; aren't you worried about your son?"

"Are you talking about Jiajun?" Li Wenbin reacted instantly.

Li Jiajun had successfully graduated from the Longkou Police School and returned to Hong Kong; now, he was following in Li Wenbin's footsteps, starting from the grassroots as a member of the PTU, patrolling the streets all day.

In fact, given Li Jiajun's credentials, he could have even started as a Probationary Inspector.

There was no need at all to go to a department like the PTU to suffer in the wind and sun.

Unfortunately, Li Jiajun was a standard chip off the old block of Li Wenbin, stubborn as a mule and impossible to reason with.

Li Shutang and Li Wenbin could only let him be.

Now, hearing Chen Jiajun bring up the issue of Li Jiajun, Li Wenbin immediately became nervous: "Are you saying that those guys who approached Li Jiajun before have appeared again?"

"They didn't just appear again; they never stopped!" Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "They are much more attentive than you, the father; they haven't given up on contacting Li Jiajun for all these years."

"But... what does this have to do with this matter?" Li Wenbin asked, looking puzzled.

Chen Jiajun said helplessly, "Haven't you noticed that while I was away, quite a few people in Hong Kong have been making small moves?"

Now that Chen Jiajun mentioned it, Li Wenbin really did have that feeling.

Recently, whether it was the Police Force or the underworld, it seemed that everything was becoming active again.

Especially on the side of the gangs, even though Chen Jiajun had suppressed the entire underworld.

This caused those large-scale gangs to not dare to move at will, and many had even transformed and were honestly engaging in legitimate businesses.

But Hong Kong had hundreds of thousands of hoodlums, and there were about a hundred gangs, large and small.

Although a portion had died off, many still maintained the form of a gang.

Things that the big gangs didn't dare to touch, they dared to touch quietly.

After all, engaging in legitimate business required money, connections, relationships, and so on, but engaging in illicit business was much simpler.

And it wasn't just the locals in Hong Kong; those refugees from South Asia were still continuously pouring into Hong Kong.

This also led to the emergence of a group of unstable factors.

Once there were more people engaging in illicit business, the police would have to start working.

Chen Jiajun continued, "Now, try connecting these few things together and see!"

Li Wenbin suddenly realized the gravity of the situation: "Are you saying... someone wants to target the Police Force..."

Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "It seems someone treats the Police Force as their own plaything!"

"Hiss, what should we do?" Li Wenbin's mind was a complete mess at this moment.

He is not a fool; on the contrary, he is very smart, but what he lacks is vision.

After all, Li Wenbin is only in his thirties; he is destined not to have the broad vision of those old foxes.

As for Chen Jiajun, he is also in his early thirties? Who told Chen Jiajun to be a cheater! The Information Department under him is not just sitting around doing nothing, and although most of the Hong Kong films in his memory have blurred, he vaguely remembers such an incident.

Plus the assistance of the Information Department, a little investigation is all it takes.

Chen Jiajun said irritably, "What you need to care about now is your son. Don't let people make a move against Li Jiajun and put yourself in a dilemma; only in this way can you remain invincible. As for other matters, take them slowly! The Security Bureau is not so stupid as to let these guys hiding in the shadows succeed so easily!"

Li Wenbin nodded, "I understand. I will talk to Li Jiajun when I get home!"

"Hmph, since they want to test me, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to them if I didn't fight back!" Chen Jiajun also let out a cold snort, and after having the Boss put it on his tab, he left the Restaurant directly.

Li Wenbin returned home with a head full of worries, just in time for Li Jiajun to return from patrol.

The father and son have never had many common topics, but thinking of Chen Jiajun's reminder, Li Wenbin still said to Li Jiajun, "Jiajun, come over and have a drink with me!"

Looking at the cold dishes spread all over the table, the only hot dish was a burnt egg pancake.

Li Jiajun was speechless, "Dad, if you can't cook, don't cook. I thought something in the house was burning!"

This remark made Li Wenbin's old face flush, and he said with a straight face, "It's good enough that there's something to eat!" Li Jiajun sat down helplessly, poured wine for his father first, then picked up a piece of the cold dish bought from outside with his chopsticks and said, "Do you have something to ask me?"

Li Wenbin nodded and said, "I heard from Chen Shushu that someone has been contacting you?"

Li Jiajun nodded, "That's right, those guys are such idiots! Every day they brag to me about how good foreign countries are, how democratic they are, and that even the air is sweet! I really fell for their nonsense!"

Li Wenbin was stunned for a moment; he didn't expect Li Jiajun to have such a reaction.

You must know that the brainwashing ability of those Gweilo is very strong, and many people from Hong Kong University have fallen for it.

But Li Wenbin did not expect that his son would be able to resist it.

After all, Li Jiajun is just a young man who has just graduated from school.

Seeing Li Wenbin looking bewildered, Li Jiajun explained, "Remember when I was studying at Longkou? One of my brothers was a returnee from studying abroad!"

"Oh?" Li Wenbin immediately became interested, "What did he say?"

"Nonsense!" Li Jiajun said with a sneer, "Those Gweilo blow themselves up to the sky, but they are full of their own shit. If anyone really believes it, they will be able to accept the poisonous beating of reality after being fooled into going out!"

Hearing that Li Jiajun had his own ideas, Li Wenbin immediately felt relieved.

As long as his son is not brainwashed, everything else is easy to talk about.

"By the way, Dad, do you think... can I take this opportunity to infiltrate their interior?" Li Jiajun said tentatively.

Li Wenbin seemed to be pricked by something; he slapped the table and roared loudly, "No, I won't allow you to be an Undercover!"

He has not forgotten the fate of the several Undercover he sent into the triads back then.

If it weren't for Chen Jiajun's help, his few best subordinates would definitely have ended up in a miserable state.

Li Jiajun was stunned for a moment and said, "I was just saying it casually, why are you so excited?"

Li Wenbin knew he had lost his composure, so he coughed twice and said, "A Police officer who has been an Undercover will only be at the Inspector level for the rest of their life. Let alone me, even your grandfather wouldn't let you do that!"

"Old stubborn!" Li Jiajun curled his lips and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Leaving aside the conflict between Li Wenbin and his son, Chen Jiajun returned to the company and had the Information Department start an investigation.

"Target Cai Yuanqi for me and investigate the information of everyone around him!" Chen Jiajun said coldly, "Since they can pull off this kind of thing under my nose, the other party's identity is definitely not simple!"

Silva is already very old, but his body is still sturdy.

Matters abroad have been handed over to his apprentices, but local matters are still handled by this old guy.

It can be said that the oldest person under Chen Jiajun is this old dog.

Silva smiled and said, "Got it, Boss!"

After Chen Jiajun gave the order, the Information Officers in Hong Kong immediately became active.

Especially those spies who had infiltrated the upper echelons launched a detailed investigation into this guy Cai Yuanqi.

Although Cai Yuanqi did it very covertly, he couldn't withstand the detailed investigation by Chen Jiajun's Information Department.

Soon, it was discovered that Cai Yuanqi seemed to have some connection with a company.

Then, following the thread of this company, they found a few people.

It should be said that they were a few bosses of Hong Kong triads.

"Chou Zai, Hei Lao, from Sun Yee On. Li Adong, Sa Po, from Wo Shing Wo. This fat man is called Fei Cheng, from Wo Hop To. Koushui Su, Que Ye, from Wo Luen Shing."

The subordinates quickly obtained the identities of these people and returned to report to Chen Jiajun.

"Whoa, good fellow!" Chen Jiajun was shocked when he saw the information on these people, "They are all famous figures in the triads! These guys are partnering to open a company? Or are they doing it secretly behind the triads' backs?"

"That's right, the existence of this company is unknown to the heads of the major triads!" The Information Officer nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of trick they are playing!"

Chen Jiajun held the information playfully and sneered, "The number one of the Hong Kong Police Force partnering with a group of triad bosses to open a company—if this kind of thing were exposed, the fun would be huge! This is truly a big fish!"

The Information Officer immediately asked, "Do you want us to hand this stuff over to the newspaper?"

"Don't be so anxious. Right now, we can only say that Cai Yuanqi is colluding with these triad bosses; it's not enough to sentence this guy to death!" Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "The most important thing now is to figure out what these people are doing!"

The Information Officer shook his head and said, "These people are running a travel agency, specifically responsible for tourism business between the mainland and here. Honestly, I can't see what these people are doing!"

"Then keep checking, keep digging deeper!" Chen Jiajun said coldly, "I don't believe these people are really running a travel agency."

"Got it, Boss!" The Information Officer nodded and turned to leave.

After giving instructions to the Information Officer, Chen Jiajun came to Li Shutang's home.

This old guy Li Shutang is now spending his days walking birds, playing chess, and fishing, living his happy retirement life.

After all, Li Wenbin's career is already on the right track, and everything that needed to be done has been done.

Apart from maintaining some connections, this old guy doesn't have to worry about anything else.

Seeing Chen Jiajun visit suddenly, he looked a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

"What else could it be for? The affairs of the Hong Kong Police Force."

Chen Jiajun picked up the teacup and drank the tea in it in one gulp, making the old guy Li Shutang feel a pang of heartache, "What a waste, this is good tea!"

"I'll have someone send you two pounds later!" Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "How much do you know about this person, Cai Yuanqi?"

"Cai Yuanqi?" Li Shutang said with some surprise, "What's wrong with this kid?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "I just got back from South Korea, and the very next day I was invited by him to the Police Station to drink coffee. You tell me what's wrong?"

"Hiss?" Li Shutang said with a look of astonishment, "That shouldn't be! Where would this kid get such nerve?"

As an old Police officer who had served in the Hong Kong Police Force for many years, Li Shutang knew everyone in the Hong Kong Police Force like the back of his hand.

The reason Chen Jiajun came to find Li Shutang was to see what information this old guy had on Cai Yuanqi.

But unfortunately, after frowning and thinking for a long time, Li Shutang said to Chen Jiajun, "This guy just comes from an ordinary business family and doesn't have any special connections."

"None?" Now it was Chen Jiajun's turn to be stunned.

With such a mediocre resume, Cai Yuanqi was able to sit in the position of the top cop.

To say he has no connections—nobody would believe that!

Li Shutang shook his head and said, "I have investigated this guy's background, and there really isn't anything special. He just studied abroad in England in his early years..."

"Wait, studied abroad?" Chen Jiajun immediately thought of an organization.

This thing is the so-called "Brotherhood."

The Brotherhood originated in the higher education institutions of the United States or Canada.

At first, it was just a small club, often used for praising or criticizing one's teachers, or for academic discussions.

But as everyone knows, the deep-seated inferiority of the Anglo-Saxons soon caused such a pure organization to lose its way.

Under the management of heirs to some great families, the Brotherhood quickly turned into a tool for a small group of wealthy children to build connections and exchange resources.

Moreover, the threshold for joining went from paying a fee to now requiring a special introduction.

These wealthy children play very wild games, using this threshold to pick out a poor student for their own use, or simply to bully the poor to satisfy their own perverted desires.

So much so that now, whether one admits it or not, these Brotherhoods have become a force that cannot be underestimated.

And bringing the matter back, since Li Shutang said that this guy Cai Yuanqi has no connections he could use, then it is very likely that these connections were built by himself.

The path is also easy to explain; this guy studied abroad in England.

Putting these things together, this matter becomes interesting. (End of chapter)
