Chapter 610: Fire Dragon Showdown

"Yesterday afternoon, Chairman Guo Shirong of the Guo Group went to the Commercial Crime Bureau to surrender, exposing the inside trading between the Guo Group and the Aimin Association over these years..."

Seeing the news reported by the television reporter, not a single person in the entire private room spoke.

The members of the Brotherhood looked worse than one another; none of them had expected that things would actually develop to this point.

Soon, the key figure Li Yonglian stood up, pointed at Ceng Guoshan, and said viciously: "You damn well look at what good deeds you've done!"

Ceng Guoshan also had not expected that Guo Shirong would be so unyielding, actually daring to risk mutual destruction with them for the sake of his own daughter.

With no other choice, Ceng Guoshan said: "This matter is my problem; I didn't expect that he would actually, for the sake of Zhiwei's affair..."

"Zhiwei, Zhiwei!" Li Yonglian was almost furious to death: "You damn well still dare to mention that bastard son of yours!"

He was originally plotting to secure the position of Secretary for Justice, a time when he needed a large amount of money.

Ceng Guoshan's bastard son actually went and got the financier's daughter killed.

This caused the financier to directly tear off the mask with their Brotherhood, preparing to go down together.

Such a screwed-up matter, no matter who it happened to, would drive them crazy.

Li Yonglian said coldly: "To pave the way for your son, you destroyed the organization's plan! Your selfishness is too heavy! I propose stripping the father and son, Ceng Guoshan, of their membership!"

Hearing Li Yonglian's words, Ceng Guoshan suddenly raised his head.

But at this moment, no one was looking at him anymore.

The other few people raised their hands one after another and said: "Agreed!"

"I also agree!"

"You two, the Ceng father and son, are simply idiots among idiots; I also agree!"

Seeing the members raise their hands one by one, Ceng Guoshan immediately became panicked: "You can't do this! Zhiwei... he will succeed the Aimin Association, he will definitely be able to..."

Li Yonglian interrupted his words without any courtesy, pointing at the television and saying: "Do you think in this situation, you two father and son still have a chance to turn things around? I tell you, Guo Shirong has already grasped the evidence of your son's murder and has officially submitted the evidence to the Prosecutor of the Department of Justice."

"If the murder charge is established, plus the investigations by the Economic Crime Investigation Division and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, none of you in the Aimin Association will escape! The organization you founded with your own hands is about to sink!"

Hearing Li Yonglian's words, Ceng Guoshan was suddenly struck as if by lightning.

His whole person seemed to have aged twenty years instantly! Afterward, he actually began to cry bitterly: "I have served the organization, I brought in large sums of capital for the organization every year, you cannot treat our father and son like this!"

Although Ceng Guoshan's tearful appearance was pitiful, what kind of people were in the Brotherhood?

They were all people influenced by capitalism, extreme egoists.

When this person had value, they would exhaust all their strength to protect this person.

But once this person was useless, they would be ruthlessly abandoned.

This is the code of conduct of capitalism! So Li Yonglian said coldly to Ceng Guoshan: "You two father and son had better be careful how you speak in the future; if we hear anything we shouldn't hear, you... know the consequences!"

After finishing, Li Yonglian clapped his hands, had people invite Ceng Guoshan out of the private club, and cancelled his membership card.

From now on, this place would never again be open to people like Ceng Guoshan!

Following Guo Shirong's choice to risk mutual destruction, the Economic Crime Investigation Division and the Independent Commission Against Corruption immediately launched an investigation into the Aimin Association.

As for the murder case of Guo Shirong's daughter, because he actively submitted evidence, plus the Defense Attorney and the Prosecuting Attorney working together, they directly overturned the matter of Li Yifeng committing the murder.

However, this person Ceng Zhiwei could not run away.

On the day of the court hearing, Ceng Guoshan ran over with a head full of white hair to beg Guo Shirong for mercy: "Why are you being so impulsive? Doing this is no good for anyone!"

Guo Shirong looked at Ceng Zhiwei coldly and said: "What I want is justice! I will not let anyone who had a part in harming my daughter have a good end!"

Soon the trial began, and the defense witness showed the judge the newly obtained evidence.

Then they also invited a key witness.

It was the corrupt police officer who helped Ceng Zhiwei handle this case.

Guo Shirong acted ruthlessly, giving this corrupt police officer a large sum of money to have him come forward to testify against Ceng Zhiwei.

With evidence plus a witness, this time Ceng Zhiwei could no longer wash away the suspicion.

"He framed me, he framed me!" Ceng Zhiwei immediately shouted loudly, and then he yelled in the direction of his old man: "Dad, save me!"

Unfortunately, what Ceng Zhiwei did not know was that Ceng Guoshan's Aimin Association was currently under investigation.

Ceng Guoshan was also a retired person, and he had been removed from the Brotherhood; now he had no way at all.

He could only watch with tears streaming down his face as his son struggled while being taken away by the Police.

Seeing the chaotic situation before him, Guo Shirong immediately laughed heartily.

"Has the case been sentenced?" Chen Jiajun asked the Information Officer.

The Information Officer shook his head: "It's not that simple yet; after all, these are two cases! That kid Li Yifeng who was dragged into this case is fine; he was released without charge on the spot. And the Prosecutor will re-indict Ceng Zhiwei and retry this case!"

Chen Jiajun spread his hands helplessly and said: "It's damn complicated!"

"Procedural justice, you know!" the Information Officer said with a smile: "But Ceng Guoshan's days won't be easy! Now the Economic Crime Investigation Division and the Independent Commission Against Corruption are both eyeing the Aimin Association!"

Chen Jiajun said with some surprise: "The people from the Brotherhood didn't intervene?"

The Information Officer shook his head and said: "As far as I know... no!"

"Tsk!" Chen Jiajun stroked his chin: "This is interesting! It seems this Ceng Guoshan has been abandoned by them?"

The Information Officer nodded: "I estimate he has been removed from the Brotherhood!"

"That's true, the losses he and his son caused the Brotherhood are not just a little bit, especially at this time!" Chen Jiajun laughed immediately: "The people in the Brotherhood might even skin them alive, let alone save them!"

The Information Officer nodded: "We found a way to monitor the funding sources of that club and discovered that there has indeed been a large amount of capital transferred in recently, but this money... seems to be far from enough!"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile: "Now we just wait for them to make their move and see if they take a liking to this person Ji Shaoqun!"

Chen Jiajun looked at the Information Officer and said: "Have the detailed information on Ji Shaoqun been found?"

"Most of it is done!" The Information Officer nodded and said with schadenfreude: "This Ji Shaoqun is truly very interesting!"

"How so?" Chen Jiajun asked curiously.

The Information Officer continued, "This guy has done quite well in the Narcotics Division in East Kowloon, especially in the last few years, having cracked several major cases in a row! At the very least, based on his merits, he should have been promoted to the rank of Superintendent long ago! But he is still a Senior Inspector!"

"Is there a story behind this?" Chen Jiajun asked with a gossipy look on his face.

The Information Officer smiled and said, "There is indeed gossip; this guy fell for someone he shouldn't have! A Mama-san at a nightclub has him completely infatuated. His superior once warned him to break up with that Mama-san as soon as possible for the sake of his future, but Ji Shaoqun didn't do it!"

"It is precisely for this reason that even no matter how many merits he earns, the top brass of the Police Force refuses to promote him!"

"Holy crap! What a romantic!" Chen Jiajun said with a look of surprise: "There are still people who value love and loyalty like this in the Brotherhood?"

The Information Officer smiled and said, "It's not over yet, this guy is truly unlucky! Two years ago, when Soros attacked Hong Kong, he followed the trend and wanted to short the market. The situation was supposed to be a sure thing, but it was ruined by you, Boss!"

"His entire net worth was directly trapped, and he even borrowed money from loan sharks to add leverage. If he doesn't pay the money back, this rising star of the Police Force is going to be chased for debt by gangsters!"

Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "Well done! Which finance company is it?"

"It seems to be Wo Luen Shing's!" the Information Officer thought for a moment and said to Chen Jiajun.

"Haha, that's great!" Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "When the time comes, tell someone to stir up some trouble for them!"

The Brotherhood's private clubhouse.

For the past few days, all members have been meeting frequently.

It is all about the matter of Li Yonglian's operating funds.

The Brotherhood's source of income was already cut off by Chen Jiajun last time, which led to their inability to continue their Laundry Powder business.

Now, there is also the god-tier operation by Ceng Guoshan and his son.

This has caused the Brotherhood's operating funds to be stretched thin.

The members of the Brotherhood never thought that there would come a day when they would worry about funds.

"Damn it, if it weren't for that bastard Ceng Guoshan!" Li Yonglian couldn't help but think of this matter, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Another member said unhappily: "Enough, the matter is in the past! Now we should think about how to raise this money!" Hearing this, everyone felt a headache.

Although these people all have some savings, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket when facing such a major event.

Throwing it in probably wouldn't even cause a splash.

Li Yonglian has a powerful competitor, and that person is also eyeing this position.

If there is no money to operate, Li Yonglian's chances of winning are slim.

"How about... going to find Lao Cai to get some funds!" After a moment of silence, someone suggested.

At this time, one of the members shook his head and said: "Lao Cai has only just gained a foothold in England, where would he have money to send over? It's already pretty good that he hasn't asked us to support him!"

"What about those foundations?"

"The foundations are currently being watched very closely by the Commercial Crime Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption; whoever touches them dies!"

"This won't work, that won't work, what should we do now?"

At this time, a woman suddenly spoke up: "Why not pick that business back up and do it? Anyway, our channels haven't been lost yet?"

"You mean, the Laundry Powder business?" Li Yonglian frowned and said: "It's possible, but where would we get the source of goods? The incident last time caused our lines to be cut!"

The woman said indifferently: "I'm not saying we should continue this business, but to use this channel to make a fortune first to get through the crisis! As for the source of goods, I have an idea!"

"Tell us quickly!" Li Yonglian said urgently.

The woman smiled and said: "Although Lao Cai was taken down by that bastard Chen Jiajun, don't forget that we still have quite a lot of influence in the police!"

"I heard that the Narcotics Division has swept up a lot of goods recently, and the police evidence room has also accumulated quite a bit that hasn't been destroyed. Why don't we... find someone to rob this batch of goods!"

Hearing the woman's words, everyone became a bit hesitant: "Isn't the risk a bit too high?"

The woman spread her hands and said: "Then I have no other way!"

Li Yonglian is eager to ascend to power, so he frowned and said: "This plan is still feasible, but who should we find to handle this? This person must work in the Narcotics Division to be able to coordinate from the inside and outside!"

"I remember we still have a member among us who is currently a Senior Inspector in the Narcotics Division!" the woman said indifferently: "And he has quite a lot of trouble right now! If we let him do it, he shouldn't refuse!"

Li Yonglian scanned the crowd, then said in a deep voice: "Then let everyone vote!"

Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsim Sha Tsui East.

Ji Shaoqun arranged to meet his subordinate here at a Restaurant to discuss an important matter.

But just as he arrived, he heard a woman's shrill scream: "You bunch of brats, stealing things here again!"

Subsequently, he saw his subordinate A Kang chasing out from the Restaurant, cursing as he chased: "You little bastards, stop right there!"

Seeing this, Ji Shaoqun immediately followed.

This group of thieving brats ran very fast, and A Kang chased with all his might.

But before they had chased for two streets, a bus suddenly killed its way out from a side street.

The bus was moving very fast, directly hitting A Kang and sending him flying, then he smashed heavily onto the ground.

Seeing this scene, Ji Shaoqun was stunned on the spot.

He rushed over, shaking A Kang's severely injured body and asking: "A Kang, where is the thing I wanted? Where is it?"

A Kang was already severely injured, but still mumbled something.

"Huh? What?" Ji Shaoqun simply lay on the ground and leaned his ear close to A Kang.

This time he finally heard what A Kang said: "The phone, the phone was stolen by those brats!"

Hearing A Kang's words, Ji Shaoqun was instantly speechless.

The information he had spent a great price to buy was actually taken away by a group of thieving brats for this reason.

And it even cost him one of his trusted subordinates; Ji Shaoqun suddenly felt like he wanted to go crazy.

However, he quickly calmed down, dialed the ambulance number and the police emergency number, and then left in a hurry.

He must find those brats who stole the phone; after all, this matter concerns his life and death.

Moreover, he didn't have much time left!...

And at the same time, on Kimberley Road, a murder case occurred.

The Police quickly cordoned off a building.

Soon, two Police with identification badges hanging around their necks walked into the cordoned-off area.

"Boss, there is a woman here who worked as a one-woman brothel who has been murdered!"

A Police Constable said to a man with a thick beard.

The man was named Wen Fang, and he was the team leader of the East Kowloon Regional Crime Unit.

At this moment, a female Police officer walked over and said to Wen Fang: "Boss, the deceased woman's name is Chen Shu Mei, twenty-seven years old, a single mother with a seven-year-old daughter! She divorced four years ago, and her ex-husband has been living in Thailand and has not returned to Hong Kong in all these years."

"Five years ago, she started working as a hostess, spending two years as a karaoke hostess. For the past three years, she started working as a one-woman brothel. Half an hour ago, the deceased's sister called her, and when no one answered, she went up to check on her, discovered the deceased, and then called the Police!"

Hearing the female Police officer's report, Wen Fang did not show much reaction.

Working in the Serious Crimes Unit, he had seen too many things like this.

However, his subordinate behind him, an old Police officer from the Serious Crimes Unit named Xiang An, had a look of shock appear on his face.

As the two spoke, they arrived at the deceased's home.

Subsequently, colleagues from the Forensics Department arrived at the scene to begin collecting evidence.

The Serious Crimes Unit began questioning the deceased's sister.

"Boss, this is the deceased's sister; she is the one who called to report the crime." The female Police officer brought the witness over.

The woman immediately said: "Yes, Officer, today A Mei called me and said that A Kun had come to borrow money again. A Mei wouldn't give it to him, so she was beaten up by A Kun."

"Which A Kun?" Wen Fang asked.

"Her boyfriend, of course!"

"What does this guy do?"

"What kind of work would he have? He hangs around the gambling dens over on Shandong Street every day."

While Wen Fang was questioning the witness, his subordinate Xiang An suddenly secretly hid the cigarette butts from the ashtray on the woman's bedside table.

He had thought everything was fine, but Wen Fang had sharp eyes and actually discovered the cigarette ash scattered on the bed.

This immediately made Xiang An's heart beat wildly with fear.

Fortunately, no one discovered that he had taken the cigarette butts, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

When everyone went downstairs, a Police Constable walked over and said to Wen Fang: "Boss, an Officer Ji is looking for you, a Senior Inspector from the Total District Police Station, Serious Crimes Unit."

Wen Fang walked over: "Officer Ji, is there anything I can help you with?"

Ji Shaoqun smiled and said: "Sorry, I'm adding to your trouble while you are handling a case."

"It's fine, go ahead!" Wen Fang nodded, seeing that the other party had a good attitude.

"Have you heard about the tourist bus hitting and killing someone tonight?"

"I've heard of it."

"The person who was hit and killed is my subordinate. I was investigating a case with him and found some clues in his mobile phone. But his mobile phone was stolen by a group of brats wearing school uniforms!" Ji Shaoqun explained.

"Where was it stolen?" Wen Fang asked.

"In Tsim Sha Tsui East!"

Wen Fang was the local kingpin here, so he naturally knew who to look for.

So he turned his head and said to the old Police officer beside him: "Xiang An, go find Huo Shui. It might be his subordinates who stole our brother's mobile phone! Notify me when you have news! Hurry!"

Xiang An nodded and immediately turned to handle the matter.

Ji Shaoqun said very politely to Xiang An: "Thank you!" (End of chapter)
