Chapter 95: Showing off the methods of the Military Statistics Bureau

Rong Bin glanced at Hong Zhiyou and whispered into Old Zhai's ear.

"Really?"

Zhai Tianren stared at Hong Zhiyou, quite incredulous.

Rong Bin nodded.

Zhai Tianren withdrew his aura and laughed loudly:

"Cao Qingming is my disciple."

"He is also a person valued by Mr. Wu."

"Little Friend Hong, I was abrupt, please come in."

Arriving at the hall.

Everyone heard the old man's hearty laughter and turned their gazes over.

"Why is it him?"

President Xiang was stunned on the spot.

"A fierce dragon doesn't cross the river; I know Old Wu better than you."

"Steady, never fighting a battle without certainty."

"Sure enough, this kid is not a simple person."

Xie Ligong frowned and sighed.

The Chamber of Commerce currently had a difficult matter.

It's a pity President Xiang offended Hong Zhiyou; otherwise, it would have been a good opportunity.

"What's simple or not simple?"

"I'll meet him again later."

President Xiang slammed his wine glass, very unhappy.

"Everyone, let me introduce you."

"Hong Zhiyou, a friend of my close friend, Master Du Xinwu."

"I hope everyone will take care of him."

Zhai Tianren knew he came to Xiangdao to handle business, so he gave him a "welcome gift" right at the start.

"Thank you, seniors and colleagues."

Hong Zhiyou learned from him and cupped his hands to salute in all directions.

He knew that with Old Zhai's words.

In the black and white paths of Xiangdao, basically no one would cause trouble for him.

After Zhai Tianren said a few simple words, everyone started the banquet.

Hong Zhiyou was pulled directly to the first seat at the head.

The guests included the Governor of Hong Kong, the elders of the Zhi Gong Party, the current boss of the Sanhe Gang, the Rong family, the Zhuang family, and others.

Even the likes of detectives and Xie Ligong were not qualified to enter the table.

At this time, heroes were emerging.

Li, Huo, and He were still juniors just starting out.

It's estimated they couldn't even enter the door of the hall.

Wu Ruirui and Mei Ziyi benefited from Hong Zhiyou's light and sat at a side table further out.

These people were a level lower in status than Rong Bin.

But in Xiangdao, they were definitely considered wealthy daughters and sons with status.

Don't look at Su Jianhua's impressive family background.

He really couldn't sit at this table.

Wu Ruirui knew that from today on, without the down-and-out signboard of Su Jianhua, she could have a place in the celebrity circle of Xiangdao.

In this regard, she inherited her father's powerful genes.

She soon mingled with everyone.

Hong Zhiyou was naturally like a fish in water.

The wine glass never stopped.

Thanks to the wives in Jinhai who could drink, they had tempered him.

After eating.

Zhai Tianren led Hong Zhiyou into the inner room.

After a simple chat, Zhai Tianren smiled:

"Little Hong, I heard you want to see Fu Laorong?"

"Yes," Hong Zhiyou nodded.

"In Aodao, Mr. He is familiar."

"Mr. He is known as the King of Aodao."

"He once saved Fu Laorong, he can help you introduce him."

Zhai Tianren pointed to a middle-aged man next to him and introduced him.

"Old Zhai is too polite; with you here, who dares to call themselves King?" He Xian stood up and said modestly.

Hong Zhiyou exchanged pleasantries and said again:

"Old Man, do you know Peng Tao from Sham Shui Po?"

"Who is Peng Tao?"

Zhai Tianren looked at another person wearing a Zhongshan suit.

This person was the current boss of the Sanhe Gang, Jiang Ci.

"He is my man, the boss in Sham Shui Po," Jiang Ci said respectfully.

"Did he come?" Zhai Tianren asked.

"No," Jiang Ci said.

"You go and greet him, and get Little Hong's matter settled."

"Yes, Old Zhai."

Inside the Mid-Levels villa.

"You say Hong Zhiyou has become Old Zhai's guest of honor?"

Mei Shao put down his wine glass, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes, who would have thought that kid knows Du Xinwu."

"Old Zhai even protected him in public."

"Things are a bit difficult to handle."

Mei Ziyi said depressedly.

"Did your godfather go today?" Mei Shao rubbed his chin, his eyes flickering.

"No."

"He's just a boss, how could he have the qualifications to go to Old Zhai's birthday banquet?" Mei Ziyi said.

"Did you send away Assistant Manager Tu?" Mei Shao asked again.

"Yes, he should be in Yuezhou by now," Mei Ziyi said.

"Don't panic."

"The upper class has upper-class ways of playing."

"Peng Tao only operates in the Sham Shui Po area, he might not necessarily know about the banquet."

"Hong Zhiyou and he don't know each other."

"As long as the money is in place, there is nothing that can't be done."

Mei Shao analyzed calmly.

"That's right."

"Isn't he going to Aodao?"

"Fu Laorong and Ye Han are not easy to provoke."

"People over there usually don't give much face."

"Whether he can come back alive is unknown."

Mei Ziyi sneered coldly.

"Hmm."

"Let's watch this good show first," Mei Shao nodded.

The next day.

Hong Zhiyou pushed Wu Ruirui away from his arms and climbed out of bed.

"Why not sleep a little longer?" Wu Ruirui woke up and looked at him with a smile.

"Getting you the mansion."

Hong Zhiyou finished washing up and stood in front of the mirror putting on his shirt.

"You are so good."

"How about I marry you?"

"My mother was right; you are indeed a rare treasure."

"You rake in money."

"I manage it."

"A perfect match, isn't it?"

Wu Ruirui got up and gently tied his tie.

"Forget about marriage."

"I play hard."

"Besides, once money enters this cage, it's easy to cause trouble."

"You play your way, I play mine."

"We earn money together."

"If you can't hold it in, just take a plane to Jinhai, I'll feed you for free, how about that?"

Hong Zhiyou pinched her cold, beautiful face and smiled wickedly.

"Also true."

"If we get married, my father will send you to play cards."

"Do you think I should manage it or not?"

"If I don't, I'm anxious."

"If I do, it's a waste of money."

"I'll let you off, but let's agree first, accompany me at least three days a month."

Wu Ruirui hugged him and whined coquettishly.

"Are three days enough?" Hong Zhiyou smirked.

"Enough."

"Before I knew you, I wouldn't even think about it for three months."

"I still prefer... the big mansion!"

Wu Ruirui kissed him and smiled like a money-grubber.

"Let's go, go see your in-laws," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Who calls the shots in your in-laws' house?"

Once in the car, Hong Zhiyou asked.

"My sister-in-law, I suppose."

"She studied abroad; her father is a lawyer, has some fame in Xiangdao, and is also a councilor."

"You know, lawyers and doctors have high status here."

Wu Ruirui put on her sunglasses, stepped on the gas with her snow-white legs, and started the car.

"I knew it was her."

"However, this time it won't be her turn to call the shots," Hong Zhiyou sneered.

"You killed, killed her?" Wu Ruirui asked in surprise.

"Not quite."

"She and her father should be in the hospital now."

"Just a small car accident."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"You..." Wu Ruirui looked at him as if looking at a devil.

"Ruirui."

"Do you know what the Military Statistics Bureau does?"

"Xiangdao is too chaotic."

"So chaotic that everyone has forgotten that the Military Statistics Bureau is one of the most terrifying and rigorous intelligence organizations in the world."

"When the Japs were here, they weren't good enough."

"The British? Even less capable of playing."

"For this kind of thing, for less than fifty US dollars, plenty of people will do it."

Hong Zhiyou explained very plainly.

Arriving at the Su family.

The two elders of the Su family were frowning.

Their most beloved youngest son had been kidnapped.

Their in-law and daughter-in-law had a car accident early in the morning.

Truly, it rains when it pours.

"Dad, Mom, this is Mr. Hong."

"He has already made contact with Fu Laorong; the other party wants two hundred thousand US dollars."

"I have already mortgaged the winery in Yuezhou and exchanged it for eighty thousand."

"There is still one hundred thousand; I really can't scrape it together."

Arriving at the Su family's impressive Anhui-style old mansion, Wu Ruirui cried poor with tears in her eyes.

"Eldest, how much more can you scrape together?"

Father-in-law Su Pingshan asked his eldest son, Su Jianwen, on the side.

"Dad, my family just added a child, and my wife is watching me strictly; where can I find money for Jianhua?" Su Jianwen also cried poor.

"Then, then what to do?"

"Mr. Hong, can you beg Mr. Fu to be lenient for a few days?"

"Ruirui, why don't you borrow some more from your father?"

Mother-in-law Liu Chunxing was anxious and teary-eyed.

"Mom, it's not like you don't know; whatever my father had was long ago lost by Jianhua."

"Otherwise, why would he send Secretary Hong to fish him out?"

"I've looked everywhere I could, but it's just not working."

"The casino said if they don't see the money today, they will chop off Jianhua's hand."

"You guys hurry up and think of a way."

Wu Ruirui complained helplessly.

"Then, then what to do?"

"I can't scrape together that much money either," Su Pingshan said sorrowfully.

"Why don't we sell this old mansion?"

"Secretary Hong knows Station Chief Xie."

"He said a Division Chief Liu from Shanghai is about to retire and wants to come to Hong Kong to enjoy his old age."

"They are willing to pay a high price to buy it."

Wu Ruirui said.

"Secretary Hong, what is the high price?" Su Pingshan frowned and asked.

"What is your psychological expectation?" Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.

"At least one hundred and fifty thousand US dollars."

"Last time a foreign boss from the Hong Kong government offered one hundred thousand, my father couldn't bear to sell."

"Selling to you outsiders, how can it not be a bit higher?"

Su Jianwen said with disdain.

Don't look at this sister-in-law of his as some bullshit Military Statistics Bureau daughter-in-law.

In the eyes of their local old wealthy people, she's nothing.

Not as good as marrying the daughter of a lawyer, doctor, or councilor.

"Easily done."

"One hundred and fifty thousand it is."

"To ensure the safety of the transaction, I would like to invite Mr. Rong Bin to be the middleman; you two have no problem with that, right?"

"After all, I'm an outsider; what if you take the money and don't hand over the house?"

"In this place, I have no chance of winning a lawsuit."

Hong Zhiyou asked with a smile.

"Which Rong Bin?" Su Jianwen asked.

"The second young master of the Rong family," Hong Zhiyou said.

"Of course."

"With the Rong family as a guarantor, let alone buying a mansion, even if you bought the Governor's Mansion, it wouldn't be a problem," Su Jianwen readily agreed.

"Dad, Mom, let's sell it," Su Jianwen urged impatiently.

"Alright."

Soon Hong Zhiyou called Rong Bin over.

And went through the house-buying process that same day.

"Mr. Su, this is one hundred and fifty thousand US dollars; please count it."

Rong Bin took out the suitcase, opened it, and placed it on the table.

Su Jianwen counted the money:

"Dad, one hundred and fifty thousand, not a cent less."

"Split it."

He rubbed his hands, impatient.

"Split what?"

"Ruirui, didn't you scrape together eighty thousand?"

"Take this one hundred and twenty thousand to redeem the person."

"The remaining thirty thousand, Jianwen, it's yours."

Su Pingshan sighed and split the money clean on the spot.

"Got it."

"Dad, you guys go ahead, I'm going to the hospital."

Although Su Jianwen was a bit unhappy, he had at least gotten something, so he stuffed the money away and ran off.

"Dad, then, then I'm going to Aodao to save Jianhua."

Wu Ruirui wiped a tear hypocritically, took the money, and left.

Outside.

Rong Bin glanced at Hong Zhiyou and smiled:

"Well, I've become your accomplice in cheating money."

"Aren't I also an accomplice in releasing a traitor?"

"Now the students in Jinhai are all threatening to cut off my head."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"That's true."

"In this world, which dollar is clean?"

"Either being cheated or cheating."

"Tossing back and forth, it's all human blood."

Rong Bin smiled.

He wanted to mention opening an account, but seeing Wu Ruirui on the side, he dismissed the idea.

"I'll treat you to dinner later."

Hong Zhiyou was afraid he would talk too much, raised an eyebrow, and got into the car first.

"Why give them an extra thirty thousand US dollars?" In the car, Wu Ruirui pouted, dissatisfied.

"Do you think the Su family are fools?"

"Without shedding some blood."

"Would they believe it, especially that money-grubbing brother-in-law of yours?"

"If he doesn't see the money, he'd rather Su Jianhua be killed than sell."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

"Alright."

"Buying it for thirty thousand US dollars is indeed a huge profit," Wu Ruirui said.

In the afternoon.

Arriving in Aodao.

Hong Zhiyou met with Fu Laorong directly.

"Mr. Hong, Mr. He has already greeted me."

"I've brought the person to you."

Fu Laorong waved his hand, and several subordinates pushed Su Jianhua over.

"Boss Fu, thanks."

"If you come to Jinhai in the future, just give me a shout."

"This is a small token for you and Mr. Ye, please accept it."

Hong Zhiyou took out twenty thousand US dollars and gave a stack to Fu Laorong and Ye Han each.

Ye Han patted the money in his palm, smiling without a word.

Currently, in front of Fu Laorong, he didn't have the qualifications to speak.

"Hey."

"Isn't this being formal?"

"He Xian saved my life; he doesn't sell favors easily."

"If I take your money, I'm breaking the rules."

Fu Laorong smiled and refused.

"Rules are made by people."

"How you talk business is your rule."

"Talking to me, you have to follow my rules."

"Boss Fu, take it; maybe I'll have to trouble you again in the future."

Hong Zhiyou pushed the money back.

After pushing back and forth, Fu Laorong accepted it:

"Little Brother Hong is particular; if you have anything in the future, just speak up."

"Not to mention anything else, Fu can still call the shots in Aodao."

"Thanks."

Hong Zhiyou greeted him and led the person onto the boat.

Arriving in Xiangdao.

"Ruirui!"

Su Jianhua was just about to get into the car.

Wu Ruirui pressed him down:

"Jianhua, you take the car behind; Secretary Hong and I have something to discuss."

"Alright." Su Jianhua glanced at Hong Zhiyou, quite displeased.

"Why did you give away another twenty thousand?"

"Do you really think my money was blown here by a strong wind?"

"Fu Laorong has a big family and a big business; he's not short of this little money."

Wu Ruirui got into the car, complaining with a heartache.

"No one thinks they have too much money."

"Believe it or not, if I didn't give the money, our boat would have leaked halfway."

"He has to give Mr. He face."

"But you and I are nothing."

"Money is one thing; not giving it is being ignorant of the situation."

"If you're ignorant, you'll be fed to the fish."

Hong Zhiyou said.

"Then how to handle Su Jianhua? I don't want to see him for even a second."

Wu Ruirui spread her fingers and interlocked them with Hong Zhiyou's.

"As you wish."

Hong Zhiyou looked in the rearview mirror.

The car behind turned into a mountain road at the fork.

Wu Ruirui took a look and swallowed:

"My father, he, do they all handle things this way?"

"The Station Chief will only tell you."

"We never saw Su Jianhua; Fu Laorong released him, and he ran away himself."

"It's that simple."

Hong Zhiyou patted her shoulder.

Compared to Xiangdao, where one still has to play tricks.

At the Jinhai Station, if you really want to deal with someone, interrogation is only a benefit for the Red Ticket.

Small fries are just shot with a black gun "BIU."

Mi Zhiguo and Tang Si Mao were killed just like that.

If it weren't for the fear that someone would use this as a pretext in the future to blackmail or investigate Ruirui, Hong Zhiyou wouldn't bother playing so many tricks.

Of course.

Taking a step back.

As long as Ruirui retreats to Yuezhou, no matter how tough the Xiangdao police are, they can only stare.

Domestically, Old Wu is still very strong.

"Ruirui, Secretary Hong, where is Jianhua?"

Returning to their residence, Mei Shao greeted them.

"After Mr. Fu released him, Jianhua ran away."

"Maybe he went gambling somewhere again."

"Forget about him."

"Uncle, Secretary Hong has another important matter this time."

"That is the ownership of the Yuezhou winery and the Xiangdao company; Father's meaning is that it must be transferred to my name."

Wu Ruirui changed her usual obedient sheep image and said aggressively.

"Secretary Hong, is this the Station Chief's meaning?" Mei Shao asked with a smile.

"Yes."

"By the way, I have to go back tomorrow; the antique accounts still need to be checked tonight."

"Jianhua..."

Hong Zhiyou glanced at him with a half-smile.

"Understood."

"I'll see you off tonight."

"At that time, the company and the ledger will be transferred together."

Mei Shao replied as a matter of course.

"Good, thank you, Uncle," Hong Zhiyou bowed and smiled.

Watching Mei Shao walk away.

Wu Ruirui was a bit worried: "Zhiyou, are we pushing too hard?"

"A dog won't jump over a wall unless it's desperate."

"I don't have time to play riddles with him every day," Hong Zhiyou said coldly.

"Don't play yourself out."

"Uncle knows many people here," Wu Ruirui said.

"Won't."

"Let's go, Miss, shouldn't you reward me?"

Hong Zhiyou placed his big hand on her perky buttocks and smiled like a rogue.

"Of course."

Wu Ruirui readily agreed, took his hand, and entered the room.

Mei Shao returned to his room, pressed his hands on the desk, his face covered in dark clouds:

"Ziyi, we've hit a hard nut this time."

"Su Jianhua is definitely gone."

"Who knows what that kid will spit out; the antique smuggling matter seems impossible to cover up."

"Your uncle-in-law is afraid he's going to kill us all."

"Father, why fear him? This is Xiangdao, not Jinhai," Mei Ziyi's evil grew from his courage.

"Right."

"While he hasn't established a firm footing, and he and Peng Tao don't know each other's bottom line, kill him."

"At worst, we'll take the money and go to San Francisco."

Mei Shao's eyes turned cold, and he developed the intent to kill.

"The Military Statistics Bureau has many enemies in Xiangdao."

"When the time comes, we'll push it onto those people, and your uncle-in-law won't have anything to say," Mei Ziyi said.

"Hmm, I'll call Peng Tao now."

"Tonight, send Hong Zhiyou to hell."

Mei Shao said and picked up the phone, dialing the number:

"Old Peng."

"Plan as usual, see you at Old Six Fish Restaurant at the pier tonight."

There is another chapter later, it's time to go back to Jinhai.
