Chapter 311: Dealing with Wang Baiman

"Mo Ge, what's the order?"

Ahua came quickly with Wu Ying.

Chen Mo nodded toward the two of them: "Hmm, there's a small matter I need you to handle."

"How's that Huang Ziyang lately, is he listening?"

When Chen Mo asked about Huang Ziyang, Ahua grinned.

"Mo Ge, is there something you need him to do? He's very obedient right now."

"Because we have leverage over him, at first he wasn't exactly obedient; when we asked for info, he'd sometimes stall and resist."

But after we collected money a few times, now this guy has become a completely corrupt cop. He no longer needs us to ask; whenever a cop does something on our turf, he proactively greets us.

"Well done. Since that's the case, you should cooperate later, and you can appropriately share some unrelated leads with him to help him get a promotion."

The higher his rank, the more convenient it is for us.

Ahua nodded: "Got it, Mo Ge. Previously, when there were occasional unruly thugs, I handed them over to him."

"However, on our turf, our brothers are disciplined, and members of other Triad Societies don't dare cause trouble. At most there are minor scuffles, and that little merit probably won't help him get a promotion."

"No problem," Chen Mo said with an indifferent smile. "Even a few minor merits can get him promoted. Moreover, he has some background; he can't rely entirely on us."

Helping him climb one level is enough.

If he rises too fast, I'm afraid he'll develop ambitions against us!

While speaking, Chen Mo pulled a stack of Wang Baiman's files from the drawer and handed them to Ahua.

"Take a look at this."

Ahua took the documents and began flipping through them page by page.

Wu Ying stood beside Ahua, leaning in to watch as well.

The files were collected by Chen Mo's subordinates and then organized by Li Li.

Besides Wang Baiman's basic information, it also contains Li Li's personality analysis of him.

Having been a con artist for several years, Li Li is still adept at analyzing men.

While Ahua examined the files, Chen Mo also recounted the matter of Prosperous Real Estate.

When Chen Mo finished, Ahua also finished reviewing the documents.

"Mo Ge, what do you need me to do, should I capture him?"

Before Chen Mo could speak, Wu Ying pounded his chest and declared, "Mo Ge, this little task doesn't need Ahua to step in; Wu Ying and a few of my guys can handle it!"

"Wu Ying!" Ahua interjected.

Hearing Ahua's rebuke, Wu Ying fell silent immediately.

"If it were that simple, I wouldn't have called you over," Chen Mo leaned back, reclining against the chair back.

"Wang Baiman isn't just a petty merchant; a share transfer isn't something you can just grab him and have him sign a line."

Moreover, if we want to conduct legitimate business in the future, we should avoid intimidation and kidnapping whenever possible.

Ahua frowned slightly: "Got it, Mo Ge, so what should I do?"

Chen Mo tapped his fingers on the chair armrest a few times and said, "I'll give you a direction; figure it out yourself."

"Wang Baiman has no major flaws; his usual hobbies are gambling and women."

"However, his gambling is mostly private games with business acquaintances; he rarely goes to casinos."

So you still need to work on the woman angle.

"Got it!" Ahua's eyes lit up. "You want me to use the same trick we used on Huang Ziyang against him?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "Wang Baiman isn't Huang Ziyang; he's just a businessman. That trick won't work on him."

Even if such a video of Wang Baiman were exposed, it would at most embarrass him a bit, with no major impact.

"Then…" Ahua furrowed his brows again.

"There should be some underage girls hanging around over at Ci Yun Shan, right?" Chen Mo added another hint.

"Uh… yes, and quite a few. But… how does that relate to Wang Baiman?" Ahua couldn't grasp what Chen Mo meant.

"Sigh!" Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.

Even after all those hints, Ahua still didn't realize.

In the end, it's just an ignorant, law‑unaware loss!

"According to Gangdao law, having relations with a girl under fourteen years old lands you in prison!"

"Understood?"

"Huh? There's such a law?" Wu Ying couldn't help but speak up.

"You guys shouldn't just think about fighting all the time; take some time to study." Chen Mo couldn't help but say.

"Now do you know what to do?"

After a moment of contemplation, Ahua carefully said, "Mo Ge, you mean we should set up an underage person for Wang Baiman, fix the evidence, and have Huang Ziyang catch him?"

With Chen Mo's repeated hints, Ahua finally understood.

However, it was his first time hearing of this law, so he lacked confidence.

Nevertheless, Chen Mo was fairly satisfied.

After all, Ahua was at least roughly keeping up with his thinking.

"Exactly. As the saying goes, a broken family county order, a exterminated household magistrate."

"A businessman like Wang Baiman can be scolded by pointing at Huang Ziyang's nose when he stays out of trouble. But if he slips up, Huang Ziyang could kill him."

"You should review the legal statutes later, or find a junior lawyer to help you set a trap for Wang Baiman and preserve the evidence."

"After Huang Ziyang arrests the person, whether you hand the evidence over to the cop depends on Wang Baiman's behavior."

Ahua nodded heavily and assured Chen Mo, "Understood, Mo Ge. I'll take care of it when I get back and guarantee to handle Wang Baiman as quickly as possible."

Okay. Among you brothers, you're the one with the sharper mind. Usually don't just think about fighting and killing; read books when you should, study when you should.

Being involved in a triad can't be a lifelong pursuit; when the opportunity arises, I'll lead the brothers into legitimate business.

If you just think about seizing territory and watching venues, later when I hand over the legitimate business to you, you'll also find it hard to do well.

And you, Wu Yan, don't think I only spoke to your brother Hua and not you—you're the same.

Chen Mo still couldn't help but give Ahua and Wu Yan a lecture.

Basically, before Ahua arrived, Chen Mo had first met Lu Bin Sun and his crew.

Jimi and Da Dou's business has been booming lately, and their talent for legitimate business far surpasses that of the other brothers.

Jimi is still okay; according to his original fate trajectory, he would also do well in United Victory.

But Da Dou was originally just a small-time loafer hanging out on Bo Lan Jie, not even as good as a stableboy; if he hadn't followed Chen Mo, he'd probably be squatting in Chi Zhu now.

And now, Da Dou counts as somewhat of a notable figure under Chen Mo.

In terms of money-making ability, especially in legitimate business, he is considerably stronger than Chen Mo's other brothers.

Chen Mo doesn't want that, after going legit, his few main subordinates would only be able to retire and be eliminated.

In fact, those capable of being big brothers who control territory, aside from a few like Fei Ji, others' minds are not much different; they just haven't applied them in the right place.

Now educating Ahua also counts as giving the brothers advance notice, letting them prepare early.

So that later, when going legit, most people won't find it unacceptable.
