Chapter 159: Reminding Jingkun

Chen Mo walked up to Jingkun and said quietly, "Brother Jingkun, do you have time? Let's chat."

Jingkun still had some objections to Chen Mo over Da Fei's promotion, and said unhappily, "What do you want to talk about?"

Chen Mo said solemnly, "Of course it's important; I want to talk with you privately!"

Seeing Chen Mo's seriousness, Jingkun glanced at him, nodded, then waved his hand, letting Sha Qiang and the others behind him leave.

"Go ahead, what's the matter?"

Chen Mo first glanced around, confirming that only he and Jingkun remained in the main hall.

"Brother Jingkun, aren't you wondering why I recommended Da Fei to be the head of Copper Gong Bay?"

Jingkun kept a cold face and said nothing.

"I'm doing this entirely for your consideration, Brother Jingkun. Da Fei is the most capable person in the Triad Society's base, and he has no strong backing behind him."

"If you put Da Fei in charge of Copper Gong Bay, once he rises he will naturally be grateful to you."

"Moreover, moving Da Fei out of North Point will make Fatty Lao Li thank you, Brother Jingkun. It's like you gain the support of two heads at once!"

"Couldn't I just hand over the Copper Gong Bay head position to my own subordinate later?" Jingkun couldn't help retorting. "That guy Da Fei is unruly; even Jiang Tiansheng doesn't take him seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have kept Da Fei in North Point all this time."

"Now that he's risen, will he still regard me?"

"That's because Jiang Tiansheng is narrow-minded and can't tolerate talent. Brother Jingkun, how could you be like him?"

"Pushing Da Fei upward doesn't that show you're more suited to be Dragon Head than he is? This shows Brother Jingkun knows how to employ people and values talent."

"You can pierce through a thousand things, but flattery never pierces."

After Chen Mo used Jiang Tiansheng as a foil to criticize him, Jingkun's anger instantly vanished, though he still felt a bit unwilling.

"My subordinates are also not bad. Sha Qiang has followed me for many years and is utterly loyal."

"If it weren't for you, he should now be the head of Wang Jiao. Making him the head of Copper Gong Bay would also be suitable!"

Chen Mo listened to Jingkun's words, secretly scoffed, thinking Sha Qiang isn't as loyal as he appears.

In the movie, the matter of Jingkun taking down Da B was what he leaked to Chen Hao Nan and them.

However, Chen Mo didn't directly speak ill of Sha Qiang, but changed the topic: "Brother Jingkun, have you met Ni Yongxiao before?"

"I have. When his father died back then, I also went to pay my respects."

"To be honest, that kid looks quite like me; if I didn't look like my old man, I'd suspect we were brothers."

"What about that bodyguard Luo Ji who's always been by his side—do you have any impression of him?"

"Bodyguard? Oh, I remember." Jingkun slapped his forehead, "Eh? Isn't he the one who works as a bouncer at that KTV? I said last time I saw him he seemed familiar."

"Why bring up a bodyguard for no reason?"

"He's been by Ni Yongxiao's side for several years, handling many shady matters."

"But he's a police undercover!"

"What!" Chen Mo's words startled Jingkun, "He could be a police undercover? Then why haven't you dealt with him?"

Chen Mo said indifferently: "I don't have any shady business, so why would I deal with him?"

"Anyway, he's just watching the venue for me, can't access anything core. Coincidentally Luo Ji is capable; the police sent him to me to work, so why wouldn't I keep him?"

"I'm telling you about Luo Ji: he's been with Ni Yongxiao for years, always loyal, but he could also be an undercover. Brother Jingkun, couldn't the people around you also have problems?"

"I've heard that your place has recently had quite a few incidents!"

"Brother Jingkun, you're also out in the world; you should know that as long as the price is right, anyone could betray."

Chen Mo's words sent a chill through Jingkun's heart. He wondered if his own subordinates might also have police undercovers.

Lately his powder warehouse shipments have had successive problems; he had also suspected his subordinates were at fault.

But yesterday Chen Yao told him it was Da B who did it.

At the time he was blinded by anger, easily believed Chen Yao's words, never considering whether Da B had the ability to locate his warehouse and the time and place of the goods receipt.

When he took down Da B last night, he didn't give Da B a chance to explain.

Now thinking about it, he very likely was set up by Chen Yao.

Even if Da B was behind it, there must have been someone under him leaking information.

"MD, we definitely need to investigate thoroughly!"

"Your people, you should still investigate thoroughly. Anyway, among my subordinates, besides police undercovers, there are also other people's informants."

"I only managed to find that out with great difficulty."

Jingkun came to his senses, solemnly said: "I understand, thanks for your reminder."

After Chen Mo left, Jingkun's subordinates returned.

"Brother Jingkun, what did Brother Mo want with you?" Sha Qiang stepped up to Jingkun's side and asked.

Jingkun turned his head to look at Sha Qiang, his gaze gloomy, and said: "Nothing, just some business. How did the police find Da B's family corpses? Have they found out?"

Sha Qiang felt his heart creep under Jingkun's stare, and nervously said: "Not... not yet, but I've already arranged for the brothers to inquire at the police station; we should have news soon."

"Remind the brothers from last night as well: if this gets out, nobody can escape. Those who don't want to die, shut your mouths tight."

"Whoever dares to betray me, I'll kill his whole family."

"Sha Qiang, you, you won't betray me, will you?"

"No... I wouldn't dare, how could I betray Brother Jingkun? I'm your top horse!"

Sha Qiang's face showed nothing, but inside he was panicking, his voice trembling slightly.

"Then that's good; I hope you don't let me down."

Chen Mo left the main hall and went back to the bar.

"Brother Mo, Thirteen Sister and Brother Han Bin are waiting for you."

"I know."

When Chen Mo returned to the office, Thirteen Sister and Brother Han Bin were being entertained by Li Li with tea.

Sis, Brother Bin, you came straight from the main hall, huh?

After Chen Mo entered, he walked straight over to stand beside them.

Seeing Chen Mo return, Li Li immediately got up, gave up her seat, and stood behind him.

Thirteen Sister laughed: "Of course we came straight over. Your office is so spacious, and there's a pretty girl making tea for me—much better than my nightclub."

Chen Mo passed around a smoke, then laughed: "That's easy—later, let Brother Bin pay to fix up an office for you too, right?"

Han Bin quickly agreed: "Sure, Thirteen Sister, if you want, I'll immediately find someone to design it for you—I guarantee it'll be better than A Mo's office."

I'll also find a pretty girl to be a secretary for Sis, guaranteeing she's no worse than mine. If you want a son-in-law, that's fine too.

"'No need for that, then?' Han Bin refused."

"Damn, I hang out on Boklan Street—I won't lack pretty girls. What I lack is a thoughtful, considerate secretary." Thirteen Sister raised an eyebrow at Li Li, "How about you let me have your secretary?"

"No way." Chen Mo reached out and grabbed Li Li's butt, "This secretary is my personal secretary—I'm not giving her to anyone."
