Their business also completely spiraled out of control.
Li Zixiong's purpose in coming to see Chen Xijiu this time was all too clear to her.
Chen Xijiu was quite surprised that the two of them would have such an encounter.
Looking at Li Zixiong in front of him, Chen Xijiu got straight to the point.
“I don’t get involved in business matters too much. This time, I’m angry because you brought the white-collar business to Hong Kong Island.”
"In the time to come, I will absolutely not allow you to do such heinous things in Hong Kong."
Li Zixiong was speechless upon hearing Chen Xijiu's words.
I was originally planning to do everything in my power, even if it meant spending more money, to redeem that batch of goods.
But Chen Xijiu's words made him even more convinced that no matter what he did, he probably wouldn't get Chen Xijiu's forgiveness.
Li Zixiong gritted his teeth and groveled before Chen Xijiu, hoping that Chen Xijiu could give Li Jia a way out.
“Our Li family started out making wheat flour. Now, if we can completely cut off this night business…”
"I really don't know how the Li family will survive among the four major families in Hong Kong after that. Please give us a chance, Ninth Brother."
"After we've made other changes to our industry, then we can get rid of the white flour problem. Just consider it a favor to me."
If it were Li Zixiong who said this in the past, Chen Xijiu would indeed have lingered a little out of respect for him.
However, Chen Xijiu has now obtained some evidence of the Li family's crimes.
For him, if he were to hand all of these over...
When Lu Zhenglian gets involved, Li Zixiong will be arrested and questioned by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC).
For the Li family, this truly represents the collapse of their power and the scattering of their descendants.
"Don't think I'm unaware of your dealings with the Yamaguchi-gumi. All the drugs in the Golden Triangle come from Rose."
"You know Rose is mine, and there's nothing you've done that I don't know about."
Li Zixiong gritted his teeth, never expecting that Chen Xijiu knew so much.
The batch of goods he imports from the Golden Triangle will be purchased directly in Hong Kong Island at a high price.
After changing hands several times, it will eventually be sold back to the Yamaguchi-gumi.
He had already started to steal business from Rose in a roundabout way. He thought he had done it perfectly, but he didn't expect that Chen Xijiu had known all along.
This made Li Zixiong lose face. He gave an awkward smile and suddenly didn't know what to say.
Chen Xijiu didn't give him any chance; he stared intently at Li Zixiong in front of him.
“I have no intention of getting involved in your Li family's affairs, but now, you have to get out of Hong Kong.”
“I didn’t let Rose bring the white powder to Gang Island, but you bastards took advantage of the situation.”
Chen Xijiu's words completely dashed Li Zixiong's hopes.
He looked at Chen Xijiu and knew there was no room for negotiation, so he had no choice but to agree.
As long as he can protect Li Jia first, he still has a chance to make a comeback.

"Thank you for your care, Ninth Brother. Our Li family will be eternally grateful."
As Li Zixiong spoke, he did not forget the rules. He took out a check from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Chen Xijiu.
Chen Xijiu glanced at the 500 million check, which showed how generous Li Zixiong was.
Without hesitation, he took the check into his own hands.
When he saw Li Zixiong, he asked Ah Long to see him out. Once the man was gone, Chen Xijiu handed the check to Ah Long.
"Use this money to compensate the ordinary Hong Kong residents affected by the drug trade; say it's their compensation."
Ah Long looked at Chen Xijiu with some confusion.
They had been very critical of white powder before.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xijiu is so kind in the matter of the Li family, even going so far as to save 250 drug addicts.
“Master, according to the previous plan, the Li family members do deserve to die, but those who cooperated with them before also deserved their fate.”
As Chen Xijiu's right-hand man, Ah Long already knew quite a bit about everything.
Chen Xijiu always valued him highly.
Hearing Ah Long's words, Chen Xi Jiu simply smiled faintly.
He had long since stopped taking these people seriously, so even if something really happened, Chen Xijiu wouldn't care at all.
Lee Chi-hung controls the Lee family's power, and they are very generous, with businesses scattered all over the world.
Chen Xijiu also wanted to see what kind of transformation the Li family would make.
"There's no need to worry about this. Just do as I say. Also, have Renault come see me. I have something to tell him."
Upon hearing Chen Xijiu's words, Ah Long immediately began preparations.
At this moment, Renault felt somewhat uneasy at home.
He has already betrayed Li Zixiong this time and has no idea how the other families will target him.
This made him feel uneasy all the time.
To his surprise, instead of the enemies of the four major families coming after him, it was Lu Zhenglian who came first.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption's interrogation room.
Lu Zhenglian handed Renault a cup of coffee and turned the air conditioning down to the lowest setting. Renault felt a chill all over his body and drank the coffee in one gulp.
Without hesitation, he looked at Lu Zhenglian in front of him.
"Director Lu, I have no past grievances or recent grudges with you. Why have you called me here today? Do you want to investigate whether I have any corruption cases against me?"
He rubbed his hands together as he spoke, looking completely nonchalant.
"Then you've really arrested the wrong person. I'm a police officer, and I've always worked diligently on cases. I would never do anything dirty."
Lu Zhenglian looked at Renault in front of him and smiled faintly.
Without hesitation, he placed the photos he had taken in front of Renault.
Many of these involved Renault meeting with Lee Chi-hung privately, and there was indeed some contact with the Governor of Hong Kong.
Lu Zhenglian immediately saw through Renault's scheme; it was a classic case of double-crossing, a game of espionage.
“You’re really playing both sides. If the Governor knew, you would have already been working with Chan Sai-kau long ago.”
"You even made a contribution when they seized the heroin. Do you think the Governor of Hong Kong will keep you alive?"
Lu Zhenglian's words struck a nerve in Renault's heart, hitting the nerve he feared most.
When he looked up at Lu Zhenglian, his face instantly darkened.
"So you already knew all along."
Chapter 648 I already knew! (Please subscribe and support!)
Lu Zhenglian stared intently at Renault. He had only just discovered this information himself.
It is indeed clear that many people are closely watching Chen Xijiu's actions.
Even those people near Hong Kong Island had long regarded Chan Sai-gau as a thorn in their side.
If this continues, they will immediately find a lot of leverage to target Chen Xi-jiu.
Although Lu Zhenglian and Chen Xijiu are outwardly mortal enemies, they secretly cooperate quite a bit.
Many media outlets have already begun to sensationalize Chen Xijiu's actions, something he can hardly believe.
What will happen if we hold someone accountable?
Renault has become a key witness, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has taken matters into its own hands this time.
He was able to protect Chen Xijiu first.
“Of course I know some of it. Can you tell me when we started working together and how much intelligence we gave them?”
“Our Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) belongs to the British Empire. You know what will happen if you deceive me. Don’t blame me for being ruthless then.”
Lu Zhenglian's words filled Renault with worry, but he already knew that he had no way to fight against Chen Xijiu.
The entire Hong Kong Island is now under Chan Sai-kau's arrangement and has its own plans.
If something goes wrong at this critical juncture, even Chen Xijiu won't be able to protect himself, let alone Lu Zhenglian.
Renault looked at Lu Zhenglian and pondered for a moment before preparing to speak, when the door to the interrogation room was knocked open.
Lu Zhenglian's face instantly darkened. When he walked to the door and opened it, he was surprised to see Chen Xijiu. His expression changed slightly.
How did you end up here?
Lu Zhenglian didn't blame him; instead, he was a little curious.
Chen Xijiu was personally involved, solely for Renault's sake. Chen Xijiu glanced at Lu Zhenglian, a faint smile on his face.
"Knowing that you brought Renault to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, I was a little uneasy. Since we've already laid everything bare, I might as well tell you the truth."
