Chapter 453: Prevention Before It Happens

Yang Zhi Gao had the car circle around outside a few more times to ensure there were no tails following them before returning to the villa where they were staying.

Zhang Wenqing, who was brought into the villa, couldn't help but look at the villa in front of him. He had long known that rich people in Hong Kong lived in places completely different from ordinary Hong Kong people, but he didn't have a concrete concept. Now, he had seen it.

Just the "small" bedroom in a villa he passed by just now was much larger than the apartment Zhang Wenqing's family of several lived in.

The Kowloon Walled City was gone, but that didn't mean pigeon-cage-style rooms disappeared from Hong Kong. A room of three to five square meters now had a rent of over several thousand HKD.

Zhang Wenqing's home was not in Hong Kong's most prosperous Wan Chai, Central and Western, or Southern districts. The villa Li Dongling was living in now was in the Southern District, while Zhang Wenqing's home was in the Northern District of the New Territories. Compared to the other districts, it was a world of difference, not at all like being in Hong Kong.

Of course, if his family background were good, Zhang Wenqing wouldn't need to mingle in a gang. If he continued to mingle in a gang, unless he could become the boss himself and make a fortune, otherwise, with Zhang Wenqing's income, to support a family and want to move from the Northern District of the New Territories to the Sai Kung District of the New Territories, he might have no hope in this lifetime.

"Sit!"

Looking at Zhang Wenqing who was brought in front of him, Li Dongling looked him up and down a few times, then took out wine and poured him a glass.

Zhang Wenqing recognized the bottle of Rémy Martin Louis XIII that Li Dongling took out. In the venues he managed, there was also this wine. Of course, it must be fake. If the wine in the night venue wasn't watered down, how could they make money?

Even if it were real, a bottle of wine costing over a thousand USD, even in Hong Kong, how many people could afford to drink it? Most people who ordered this wine wanted "face." In night venues and other places, the wine was just for show. Both sides got what they needed.

Looking at the wine Li Dongling pushed over, Zhang Wenqing knew this wine couldn't be fake.

"What do you want?"

Li Dongling looked at Zhang Wenqing, didn't ask about his background or the reason, but asked directly.

Zhang Wenqing was stunned for a moment, not expecting Li Dongling to ask this directly, which disrupted all his thoughts.

"I..."

Zhang Wenqing was originally prepared to finish reporting the matter before "inadvertently" opening his mouth to Li Dongling, but Li Dongling had directly pointed it out.

"I want to ask Mr. Li for a job to support my family!"

Zhang Wenqing gritted his teeth and said. He knew this was the opportunity of his life to change his rotten life. In this lifetime, there was only this one chance. If he missed it, it would be gone forever!

After finishing, Zhang Wenqing, who lowered his head, could feel himself being looked up and down by a pair of eyes, which made him feel pressure, completely different from the feeling he had when facing the gang boss when he joined the gang years ago.

Suddenly, a sneer came out. Li Dongling smiled and said to Zhang Wenqing, "You must have watched too many Hong Kong gang movies. I have no interest in Hong Kong gangs!"

Whether it's gangs or any other industry, in the future, they are basically all looking at "money." It's just that some money is earned openly, and some is earned through shady means.

Besides, how much profit is there in the shady businesses of gangs? Compared to the profits of Dongling High-Tech, it's not even worth mentioning. And it brings trouble, and if you're not careful, you have to go to the police station for "advanced studies," and if it's bad, you get a sentence of several hundred years. What for?

Hearing this, Zhang Wenqing's expression changed greatly. He couldn't care about being calm anymore. He gritted his teeth and said, "As long as it's something Mr. Li instructs, I can do it, no matter what it is!

In Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, there are always places that are not peaceful. Whether it's scouting for news or handling some dirty work, as long as Mr. Li needs it, I can do it!"

Hearing this, Li Dongling pondered for a moment. Zhang Wenqing's status was not high-class, but some of his words were not wrong. Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths. There is never a shortage of people in this world who do shady work.

Hong Kong is fine for now, but in Southeast Asia like Siam and Malaysia, and some overseas regions, it's not that easy to develop business. Sometimes, just reasoning might not be useful, because the other party is a robber, using various means to rob openly. What's the use of wasting your breath?

People like Zhang Wenqing handling those dirty things might actually be easier. But Li Dongling didn't easily open his mouth to promise anything.

At this time, Ning Wenge came in, handed a document to Li Dongling, and whispered in Li Dongling's ear, "It was obtained through a deputy director of the police department!"

Li Dongling opened the document. It was Zhang Wenqing's information. Seeing the information on it, Li Dongling glanced at Zhang Wenqing.

Zhang Wenqing seemed to have a premonition and cast a slightly embarrassed smile at Li Dongling. He himself knew his resume, which really couldn't be called very good.

Li Dongling flipped through the document roughly. Expecting Zhang Wenqing's resume to be good-looking was pure wishful thinking. Zhang Wenqing had been a regular at the police station since he was a teenager. Over the years, he had been to the "bitter cave" for advanced studies more than once or twice.

But at least Zhang Wenqing hadn't caused any deaths, nor was he someone who bullied men and women. He was just a bit ruthless. Placed among those in gangs, this resume could actually be considered "clean."

Li Dongling shook his head and asked Zhang Wenqing, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"It's Zhao Shinan!"

"Zhao Shinan found me, wanting me to find a few lackeys to... to kidnap you and Miss Ning, and wants a huge ransom!"

Hearing this, Ning Wenge's face was very ugly. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Absolutely true. How would I dare to joke about this kind of thing?!" Zhang Wenqing said hurriedly.

Ning Wenge said to Li Dongling, "Zhao Shinan must have gone crazy!"

"Aside from you, did he contact anyone else?"

Li Dongling thought for a moment and asked. Although he didn't know if this was true or false, some things were better to believe than not. It was better to be prepared early.

Zhang Wenqing was shocked. He hadn't thought about this point. He didn't know if Zhao Shinan had contacted others. If he had contacted others, it meant Zhao Shinan didn't trust him either. Even after finishing the job, whether he would let him go was hard to say. After all, only dead people could keep secrets.

"I don't know, it's hard to say. In the past, Zhao Shinan befriended many people, from all walks of life. There are quite a few in the underworld, and even people from gangs in Vietnam and Japan!" Zhang Wenqing confessed honestly.

"Thank you for coming. No matter what, thank you for this time!"

Li Dongling pushed a bag in front of Zhang Wenqing. Regardless of whether the news was true or false, he had to show some appreciation. Otherwise, in the future, who would dare to do things for him?

Zhang Wenqing looked at the bulging handbag in front of him, feeling that there was probably 500,000 or 600,000 HKD in cash inside.

Facing such a large sum of money, to say Zhang Wenqing wasn't tempted would be absolute nonsense. How much oil could he get every month managing venues? The bulk was taken by the gang boss, and he just drank clear soup below.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, but I still want to ask you..." Zhang Wenqing gritted his teeth and said.

"This is your reward. Next, I need your cooperation to solve this trouble!"

Li Dongling said, "If what you said is true, after the matter is over, I can support you in setting up a security company. Some security orders for Digital Port, or even Dongling High-Tech overseas, can be handed over to you to do!

But the premise is that the boss of this security company cannot be someone from a gang, and I don't hope he will do the dirty things he did in the gang before!"

"Yes, Mr. Li!"

Hearing this, joy appeared on Zhang Wenqing's face. He wished he could immediately take people to kidnap Zhao Shinan and send him over. But he knew that what Li Dongling wanted was "catching the person and the stolen goods," not wanting him to kidnap anyone.

He knew this was his opportunity. If he succeeded, he would turn over a new leaf. In the future, he might not have no chance to live in the kind of villa he saw now.

Watching Zhang Wenqing's departing figure, Li Dongling let him set up a security company mainly for the overseas market. Li Dongling didn't want news of Dongling High-Tech employees being kidnapped overseas, Dongling High-Tech brand stores being smashed, base station signal towers being burned, or logistics vehicles being smashed and robbed.

After all, there is no reason to guard against thieves every night. Sometimes, letting Zhang Wenqing take people to handle these dirty things is actually easier. You really can't pin all your hopes on the local police stations overseas. The public security in the mainland and overseas are sometimes really two completely different worlds.

Moreover, even if you want the police stations overseas to really do things, you have to feed them enough. Public relations also need people like Zhang Wenqing to do it.

In addition, for some market news, sometimes people like Zhang Wenqing are more sensitive in obtaining news.

Of course, what Li Dongling needs Zhang Wenqing to do is to solve or prevent certain dirty things from happening, which is completely different from what he did in the gang. Li Dongling doesn't want to get involved in those dirty things. Still the same saying: you can choose not to do dirty things, but after dirty things happen, you must have the means to solve them!

"Do you think what he said is true?" Ning Wenge said with a hint of worry.

Li Dongling looked at Ning Wenge, held her soft hand, and said softly, "We'll know when the time comes!"

"However, the security for the Ning family should also be upgraded. You should also bring security personnel when you go out in the future!"

After the Li family of Cheung Kong and the Guo family were kidnapped by the "Century Thief King" in his past life, the entire security market in Hong Kong was immediately activated. Major wealthy families hired a large number of bodyguards, and some even spent billions to convert their villas into bunkers and fortresses, changing the gates into explosion-proof gates and building safe rooms inside, which increased the entire Hong Kong security market by more than several billion USD.

"You contact that deputy director of the police station who is familiar with the Ning family. If Zhao Shinan really intends to do dirty things, send him a big gift!"

Li Dongling said to Ning Wenge. He was also prepared to use this opportunity to solve the future trouble. If Zhao Shinan really ran to Southeast Asia, Li Dongling wouldn't be able to rest easy in the future. ===== CHAPTER 454 =====
