【034】I have a road in Thailand
The fortune teller said I would achieve success at the cost of countless lives, but I don't believe it. I think that in this world, life and death are decisions for oneself.
Chen Jun will always remember those words.
This is what Han Chen said to him when he took him to the Tin Hau Temple to offer incense before he joined the police force as an informant.
After seeing this line of text, Chen Jun had already guessed the contents of the tape, but he was still not giving up and put the tape into the player...
A dozen seconds later, Chen Jun was completely desperate. With a resigned look on his face, he picked up his phone and dialed the number on the paper.
"Officer Chen, I've been waiting for your call."
After the call was connected, a rough male voice came through the receiver.
Lin Haowen changed his voice.
"What do you want me to do?"
Chen Jun got straight to the point; he knew that since the other party had approached him, they must want him to do something.
"I need the information on Superintendent Cheung Man-yiu and all his chief inspectors and senior inspectors. Bring this information to the coffee shop opposite the West Kowloon Police Station in an hour, and someone will contact you."
The Internal Affairs Department, officially known as the Internal Affairs Investigation Department, is specifically responsible for investigating police officers and possesses information on all police officers except those performing special missions.
This is also why Lin Haowen approached Chen Jun.
"good!"
Chen Jun agreed without hesitation, knowing that he had no right to refuse.
"Beep beep beep~"
Then, a busy signal reached Chen Jun's ears. He sighed deeply, put away his phone, and got up to walk towards the archives of the Internal Affairs Department.
An hour later.
Chen Jun, carrying a file folder, followed Lin Haowen's instructions and entered the coffee shop. Then...
Ring ring ring~
The cell phone rang.
"There's a briefcase under the third row of tables by the window. Put the documents in the briefcase; the HK$30,000 inside is your reward."
A cold, indifferent voice came through the receiver.
Chen Jun instinctively wanted to turn his head to look around, but then he heard again, "Don't look around, I'll be watching you."
Startled, Chen Jun immediately regained his composure, found the briefcase as instructed, put the documents inside, and took out a brown envelope.
"You can go back to work at the police station now."
"Beep beep beep~"
Hearing the busy signal, Chen Jun forcibly suppressed his curiosity and obediently returned to the police station.
It wasn't until Chen Jun walked into the police station and got on the elevator that this happened.
A car door opened beside the road, and Wang Jianguo, wearing a mask, strode into the cafe, picked up his briefcase, and left. As he passed the bar, he placed a five-hundred-dollar Hong Kong dollar note on the counter...
Inside a detached house in Tsim Sha Tsui.
"Boss, this building is exactly what you need. It used to be a private hospital. The front and back entrances lead to two streets respectively, and there's also a basement level."
There are very few apartments with basements in Tsim Sha Tsui. If the owner weren't going abroad, he definitely wouldn't have sold this apartment.
A real estate agent aggressively tried to sell to Lin Haowen.
While working on the gravel beach last night, Lam Ho-man decided to buy a building with a basement in Tsim Sha Tsui and renovate it into an "interrogation room".
It's too much trouble to drive an hour to the gravel beach every time we need to conduct an interview.
Furthermore, we can't let Wang Jianjun, Yingzi, and the others stay in the hotel indefinitely, since it's not our own territory and something might happen to them one day.
"How much?"
After walking around the building, especially focusing on the basement, Lin Haowen was very satisfied.
Thirty million.
The real estate agent's smile grew even brighter.
"Twenty-five million, all in cash."
Lin Haowen immediately cut the price to five million, then handed a business card to the real estate agent. "If the landlord agrees to this price, contact my lawyer directly, and he will handle the subsequent transaction process."
"Okay, boss."
The real estate agent accepted the business card with both hands, speaking with considerable respect. In Hong Kong Island, having one's own private lawyer is a symbol of wealth.
Ring ring ring~
Just then, a cell phone rang.
"Brother Wen, we've got the goods."
Wang Jianguo's voice came through the receiver.
"Wait for me at our usual spot."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Haowen walked towards the front door of the detached house.
Ring ring ring~
Just then, another cell phone rang.
"Brother Wen, a guy named Liang Kun is looking for you."
After pressing the answer button, Li Xiangdong's voice came through the receiver.
Li Xiangdong, Qi Jingsheng, and Guo Xuejun wanted to be discharged from the clinic the day after they were injured, saying they would go crazy if they stayed in the clinic for a day. Lin Haowen couldn't stop them and could only ask them to go to the clinic every day for dressing changes and check-ups.
Upon hearing the familiar name "Brother Kun," Lin Haowen's eyes flashed. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Tell him I have something to do. If he's willing to wait, let him wait."
More than an hour later, Lin Haowen finally arrived at the Golden Wind Nightclub after reviewing the files on Zhang Wenyao and his inspectors.
At this moment, in a private room at the nightclub, Liang Kun's face was extremely gloomy.
He never expected that he, the leader of Hung Hing Mong Kok, would personally come to find Lam Ho-man, only to have this guy leave him hanging for almost two hours. It was simply outrageous!
"Shaqiang, go out and ask Lin Haowen when he's coming back!"
Liang Kun looked impatient.
'Squeak~'
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a smiling young man came into Liang Kun's view.
"What brings you here, Brother Kun? I'm so sorry, I had something to do and kept you waiting."
Lin Haowen looked at Liang Kun, who was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, and said with a smile.
"Haha, Ah Wen, you're a big shot in Tsim Sha Tsui now, so busy. I'll be fine later."
Liang Kun's expression changed instantly, and he burst into laughter.
"Brother Kun, you're busy and I'm busy too, let's just speak frankly."
Lin Haowen plopped down opposite Liang Kun, skipping the pleasantries and getting straight to the point.
"Ah Wen, since you put it that way, I'll get straight to the point. I heard you inherited Han Chen's estate, is that right?"
Liang Kun stared intently at Lin Haowen.
"Brother Kun, what are you trying to say?"
Lin Haowen neither confirmed nor denied.
"You're just starting out, and it must be very difficult for you to take over Han Chen's business. Why don't we cooperate? You provide the resources, and I'll provide the manpower. We'll split the profits 70/30."
Liang Kun had been eyeing Han Chen's business for a long time, and he finally got his chance. If he hadn't had something to do yesterday, he would have come to see Lin Haowen yesterday.
"Brother Kun, this business is incredibly profitable, why would I share it with you?"
Lin Haowen shook his head and smiled.
"Although you fought off the Tung Sing men, it was mainly due to police intervention. I'm certain that Tung Sing won't let this go easily. Once things calm down, they will definitely continue to target you."
"If you cooperate with me, we'll be in the same boat. I'll do everything in my power to help you withstand Tung Sing's retaliation."
Liang Kun had already made his plans. Once the people from Tung Sing made their move, he would sell Lin Haowen and take over the connections left behind by Han Chen.
"Brother Kun, we're all old hands here, so don't make empty promises. I do have connections in Siam. If you want it, forget about cooperation, I'll arrange 50 million for you."
Liang Kun wanted to get something for nothing, and so did Lin Haowen.
"You're willing to sell such a profitable business?"
Liang Kun looked suspicious.
"You said it yourself, the people from Tung Sing will definitely not let this go. My top priority now is to strengthen our own power and withstand Tung Sing's retaliation."
At this point, Lin Haowen gave a bitter smile. "No matter how profitable Han Chen's business is, I have to survive first before I can do it."
After a moment of contemplation, Liang Kun slowly said, "Fifty million is too expensive. This industry has high profits, but also high risks."
"Han Chen's connections, 50 million is the bottom price. Here's the deal: give me 20 million first, and I'll arrange the first transaction for you. After that transaction is completed, you give me another 30 million."
Money offered to him was something he could swindle as much as he could. As for connections, Lin Haowen might not have any in Siam, but he did have connections in the underworld.
"OK!"
After a moment's thought, Liang Kun slowly nodded.
Using 20 million to get Han Chen's connections is a good deal. As for Lin Haowen deceiving himself?
Leung Kwan didn't believe that Lam Ho-man would dare to offend him, the leader of Hung Hing, after already offending Tung Sing, unless he really wanted to die.
"Brother Kun, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"
"Awen, it's a pleasure working with you!"
The two, each with their own ulterior motives, wore genuine smiles, as if they were truly about to cooperate closely.
……
At 6 p.m., in Wan Chai, downstairs from an apartment building.
With an expressionless face, Tian Yangsheng's eyes flashed when he saw a black sedan parked on the side of the road with the license plate number '1659'. He quickly walked to the car and opened the door.
Upon seeing the man sitting inside the car, Tian Yangsheng was slightly taken aback. His intuition, honed through years of navigating life and death, told him that this man was very strong and posed a deadly threat to him.
"Tian Yangsheng, you're very punctual. Get in the car."
Lin Haowen looked at Tian Yangsheng and smiled slightly.
"What kind of play do you want to take me to see?"
After getting into the car, Tian Yangsheng got straight to the point.
"Don't be so impatient, the main character hasn't entered yet."
Lin Haowen smiled and shook his head.
It wasn't until more than twenty minutes later.
A gray Buick sedan stopped in front of the apartment building. A tall, thin man got out of the car and walked into the building. Only then did Lin Haowen take out a Nezha mask and hand it to Tian Yangsheng.
"Put it on, let's go see the play."
Tian Yangsheng was slightly taken aback when he saw Lin Haowen wearing the mask of the Monkey King before he reached out and took the Nezha mask.
