Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 384 Sweeping Through the Stronghold

After leaving the ward, Chen Jiajun instructed Ah Jie's underlings to stay there and notify him immediately as soon as Ah Jie woke up.

Chen Jiajun himself went directly to the intelligence department, because they already had some information.

By the time Chen Jiajun rushed over, the intelligence department had already conducted a preliminary investigation.

"Boss, we investigated the origins of all the firearms and bullets left behind during the shootout, but the origin of only two bullets is unclear," the intelligence officer said. "We retrieved the forensic records from the Hong Kong Police Force, and the gun that wounded Ah Jie is likely an assembled gun!"

"There's no way to trace the source, how could they have assembled the gun?" Chen Jiajun asked, looking at the report in his hand. "Who do you think is most likely the culprit?"

An intelligence officer said, "According to the habits of each faction, the Big Circle Boys like to use Black Star and Type 81 rifles, while we Hong Kong people prefer British or American weapons smuggled in from the mainland. This style... can only be found in one place!"

"Where?" Chen Jiajun asked curiously.

"Kowloon Walled City!" An intelligence officer spread his hands and said, "Only rats in the walled city would use this cobbled-together contraption!"

Chen Jiajun's eyebrows shot up immediately: "The bandits aren't all dead yet!"

Chen Jiajun received the news several years ago.

The Englishmen persuaded their hometown to start taking action against the walled city, a place rife with filth and corruption.

The two parties also signed an agreement for this purpose.

It can be said that from this point onward, the walled city gradually declined.

However, the problem of the walled city was not formed in a day or two, and naturally it cannot be solved in a day or two either.

Those who benefit from the status quo in the walled city don't care whether the residents are doing well or not. They only want to leech off these ordinary people and have a lawless place to live.

Therefore, as the operation began, it encountered various strong obstacles on numerous occasions.

Fortunately, the once all-powerful Master Ding was killed by his own nephew in collusion with outsiders.

Otherwise, the fortified city would probably be an even tougher nut to crack!

Chen Jiajun frowned and asked, "Who's in charge of the stronghold now?"

The intelligence officer thought for a moment and said, "It should still be Master Ding's nephew, that traitor Zhang Kaiji!"

"Back then, he conspired with outsiders to kill Master Ding and frame Lu Le! Lu Le was lucky and escaped with the help of Limpy Ho! Afterwards, he did think about causing trouble for the walled city, but for some reason, it never came to fruition."

"Outsiders can't get into the stronghold, and very few people know what's going on inside. However, a large part of Master Ding's power was swallowed up by Zhang Kaiji back then, so it should still be his now!"

Chen Jiajun said coldly, "Very well, notify Old Prison and have the stronghold hand over the people! I want to know who ordered this!"

The intelligence officer asked cautiously, "What if the bandits don't hand it over?"

"Not handing it over?" Chen Jiajun sneered. "It just so happens that both the English and my hometown are having a major headache over the walled city issue. I don't mind giving both sides a push!"

Hearing the chilling murderous intent in Chen Jiajun's tone, the intelligence personnel dared not ask any more questions and immediately went to carry out their duties.

……

A tea room in Kowloon Walled City.

Zhang Kaiji was quite troubled after receiving a piece of news.

The assassins who came out of the Walled City shot Chan Ka-Chun's brother, Ah Kit, and now Hung Hing is demanding that the Walled City take him back.

To be honest, there were already problems within the stronghold after Master Ding died.

When Zhang Kaiji killed Master Ding, there were quite a few elders of the stronghold present.

Although he seized power, many people within the stronghold were not convinced of his authority.

In addition, the Hong Kong British government had said more than once that it would demolish the Walled City, and amidst internal and external troubles, it had also provoked such a powerful figure.

This made Zhang Kaiji even want to kill someone.

Looking at the group of timid and subservient men below, Zhang Kaiji said coldly, "Have you found out who did this? Speak up! Are you all dumbfounded?"

A moment later, someone stood up: "Boss, I found out something. It seems that Quail Boy took on a job and had Old Ghost and his men do it!"

"What?" Zhang Kaiji didn't expect that things would eventually come back to involve him.

No wonder the other subordinates hesitated to speak up.

Quail Boy was one of Zhang Kaiji's trusted henchmen, and he usually helped Zhang Kaiji manage some small businesses.

He also oversaw the assassin business.

Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Zhang Kaiji flew into a rage: "Where's Quail Boy? Tell him to get over here right now!"

The subordinate nodded and immediately went to find the quail.

But before Quail Boy arrived, another henchman came running in, panting: "Boss, something bad has happened!"

"What is it?" Zhang Kaiji was in a bad mood and spoke irritably.

The underling didn't dare to waste any words and quickly said, "Old Prisoner, the leader of Hung Hing, has led a bunch of his men into the Walled City!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kaiji was immediately shocked: "What? Are you sure it was Old Yu who came in person?"

The underling nodded and said, "That's right, boss, we're almost at the foot of Tanglou!"

……

On the other side, Lao Yu received Chen Jiajun's order and led his men directly into the walled city.

It's really hard to leave a good impression on people in Kowloon Walled City.

Everywhere there were dirty paths, low eaves, and tangled power lines.

At the end of the road, Zhang Kaiji and his men were already waiting for them.

"So you're the big boss of Hung Hing. What brings you to my filthy place?"

Zhang Kaiji said with a smile, "If you don't mind, why don't you come upstairs for a cup of tea?"

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so Old Yu didn't want to put on airs right away. He nodded and led his men up to the Tang Building.

After sitting down in the Tanglou Tea House, Zhang Kaiji had tea served.

But Old Prison didn't touch it at all. Instead, he squinted at Zhang Kaiji and said, "Mr. Zhang, you should know why I came to the walled city to see you today, right?"

Zhang Kaiji feigned ignorance: "To be honest, I really don't know. I'd like to hear the details!"

Old Prison frowned, then said, "Since you say you don't know, then I'll say it again. A few assassins from the stronghold assassinated our boss's brother, Ah Jie! Now the boss wants you to hand him over!"

Zhang Kaiji feigned ignorance, saying, "Hand over the people? Hand over what people? I'm very upset that this happened, but I can guarantee that none of my men have ever done such a thing!"

Old Yu's eyes immediately turned hostile: "Zhang Kaiji, are you not planning to give the big boss any face?"

Zhang Kaiji couldn't keep up the act any longer and said helplessly, "We're all just traveling the martial arts world, isn't this kind of thing normal?"

"We're in business too. Someone pays us to do things! The cause and effect isn't our fault! Have you ever seen anyone take revenge with a knife?"

Old Prison sneered, "That's fine too! Tell me who hired your people from the stronghold, and I'll turn around and leave immediately!"

Zhang Kaiji said with a grim expression, "No, that breaks the rules!"

"What kind of damn stupid rules are these!" Old Prison couldn't take it anymore. He kicked over the coffee table and said viciously, "Our Hung Hing's rules are the only rules! If you don't cooperate with the big boss, he'll destroy your stronghold!"

Zhang Kaiji slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "The city walled city has over 50,000 people and over 50,000 guns, they're not to be trifled with! Even the British devils couldn't do it, Chen Jiajun, you can try if you're capable!"

Zhang Kaiji is now in a difficult situation. Although the city walled village is known as a no-man's-land, it still has its own rules for operation.

As the current head of the fortified village, Zhang Kaiji naturally has to uphold this rule.

Otherwise, someone would immediately defect the next day, and the English would be able to take over the fortress without lifting a finger, which was something Zhang Kaiji did not want to see.

Therefore, even when faced with the immense power of Hung Hing and Chan Ka Chun, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Old Prisoner stood up from his chair with a cold laugh: "Fine, you've got guts! Kowloon Walled City has now directly declared war on Hung Hing! We'll see!"

In truth, with Old Prison's abilities, he was fully capable of wiping out Zhang Kaiji and his group. However, Chen Jiajun's orders were to find out who was behind hiring the assassin, and since he couldn't use supernatural powers in Hong Kong, he simply uttered a harsh threat and left with his men.

Watching Old Yu's retreating figure, Zhang Kaiji's face grew extremely gloomy.

One of his underlings suggested, "Boss, why don't we just keep them all here?"

I meant to flatter you, but I never expected to offend you so badly.

Zhang Kaiji slapped the henchman who had spoken, sending him flying, and then said viciously, "Do you even know who that was? Are you out of your mind? Does everyone here have a death wish?"

"Do you know that Old Prison heard what you just said? He turned on you right then and there. Who can stop such a monster? Or is it that broken gun at your waist?"

When Chan Ka-Chun was still in charge of Hung Hing, his two ruthless henchmen, Old Evil and Doom, left a deep impression on the people of Hong Kong triads. After Old Evil took over, he became even more ruthless.

Anyone who has fought against them knows what it means to be invincible, what it means to be a monster in human skin!

So, instead of sympathizing with Dafei's underlings, no one sympathized with him; instead, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Kaiji said with a grim expression, "Brothers, whether our stronghold can weather this storm depends on everyone. Get those guys here for a meeting. Now is not the time for infighting!"

……

Meanwhile, in Chen Jiajun's office.

Old Yu led his men back to Guojun Group and met directly with Chen Jiajun.

"What? Zhang Kaiji isn't giving me face?" Chen Jiajun roughly guessed the outcome when he saw that Lao Yu had returned empty-handed.

Old Yu spread his hands and said, "This bastard isn't pretending to be stupid and trying to talk to me about rules! I was too lazy to beat around the bush with him, so I just came back!"

"You're asking for it!" Chen Jiajun raised an eyebrow and said in a chilling tone, "Since he's so shameless, I'll make him respectable! Old Yu, tomorrow mobilize the mercenaries and take down the stronghold! I won't allow such a powerful person to exist in Hong Kong!"

Considering the complex terrain inside Kowloon Walled City, Chan Ka-Chun was too lazy to send ordinary gang members in to their deaths, so he simply sent a team of young demons to Old Prison to carry out a decapitation operation!

If all the leaders in the walled city are killed, Kowloon Walled City will naturally disappear.

Old Prison nodded and said with a smile, "My brothers are so bored they're practically rolling on the floor. They'll be absolutely thrilled if there's a battle to fight."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Wait for my notification. I want to maximize the profits!"

Kowloon Walled City is a pretty good location. If things go well, it could not only avenge Ah Jie, but also make a fortune.

Although both sides signed an agreement, Chen Jiajun still needs the consent of both parties if he wants to benefit from it.

However, this was not a difficult task for Chen Jiajun.

The next day, Chen Jiajun had someone notify the mainland authorities, and news came quickly.

The message from the Hong Kong and Macau offices was simple: as long as Chan Ka-Chun could find a way to demolish the Walled City, he would be fully responsible for the matter, and they even provided him with documents.

Subsequently, Chen Jiajun, along with the documents presented by the Hong Kong and Macau offices, went to Governor Youde.

After a friendly exchange, Yud still gritted his teeth and agreed.

Although Youde knew that the successful demolition of Kowloon Walled City would bring huge benefits to the left-wing businessmen led by Chen Jiajun, he had to admit that it would be a political achievement.

As long as Kowloon Walled City is not demolished during his term, even if Youde completely ignores it, he will still be credited.

With his return imminent, Youde will soon be returning to England.

He can't take Hong Kong's interests with him, so he might as well do a favor.

However, given You De's cunning, he would definitely want to gain something, on the condition that Hung Hing could, under appropriate circumstances, curb the rampant robbers' rampage in Hong Kong.

Chen Jiajun readily agreed to this condition.

At this point, all conditions had been met, so smoothly that Chen Jiajun could hardly believe it.

It's worth noting that Kowloon Walled City was close to Kai Tak Airport, and according to the plan, the MTR in Hong Kong was also located nearby.

If Chen Jiajun can handle the Walled City gangsters, he can develop this prime location.

However, upon calming down and thinking about it, it seems that there aren't many people who are confident in directly dealing with the bandits.

Chen Jiajun muttered to himself, "Yes, this place should be mine!"

Having settled things with both sides of the government, Chen Jiajun met with several prominent left-wing businessmen, including Fok Ying-nam, Sir John Paul Wong, Lam Ming-chak, and Shaw Yi-fu, for tea at the Yunlai Tea House.

Everyone was a little puzzled by Chen Jiajun's invitation.

Sir Bao said with a smile, "Jun, you didn't just invite us out for tea, did you?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "There are benefits for everyone, but this project is too big for me to handle alone."

Lin Mingze raised an eyebrow and said, "Ah Jun, any big project you can mention must be extraordinary. Tell me about it!"

Chen Jiajun didn't keep anyone in suspense and had someone bring him a map of Hong Kong.

Then they found the location of Kowloon Walled City and drew a circle.

"Kowloon Walled City?" The crowd looked at each other, wondering why Chen Jiajun had marked out this area.

Looking at everyone, Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "I have obtained permission to take over the demolition work of Kowloon Walled City. After the demolition, I can acquire most of the land at a price lower than the market price!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Everyone here is a businessman and knows just how valuable this prime location in Kowloon Walled City is.

This place is close to the airport and subway; as long as you don't do any shady business, the profits here can be incredibly high.

Not to mention, there are also facilities like duty-free shops and hotels that could be developed.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Chen Jiajun with great eagerness.

Huo Yingnan said quite calmly, "Jun, dismantling the fortress won't be easy. Are you confident?"

Chen Jiajun said with a sneer, "I won't hide it from you all, I only made dumplings because of this vinegar! The Walled City gangsters shot my brother, and I originally wanted to avenge him."

"But the rats in the stronghold are a bit resentful, so I think it would be better to just dig out this filthy place!"

Seeing Chen Jiajun's response, Huo Yingnan nodded and said, "Since you're so confident, we won't hold back anymore. We'll contribute money and manpower as needed!"

“We’d naturally be happy to lend a hand to something like this!” Sir John Paul said with a smile.

Lin Mingze didn't say much, but just stared straight at Chen Jiajun, his meaning self-evident.

Chen Jiajun didn't stand on ceremony. He was the one who brought this project in the first place, so he said, "Let me make this clear from the outset: no matter how much investment is involved in this project, I want half of the share!"

Although Chen Jiajun seemed to be asking for an exorbitant amount, none of the big bosses had any objections.

Henry Fok nodded and said, "Of course! If you don't handle the walled city, I'm afraid no one will dare to develop this area!"

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Chen Jiajun began to discuss the demolition arrangements.

Construction company executive Chen Jiajun has similar businesses under his control, as do Fok Ying-nam, Lam Ming-chak, and Sir Pao. Chen Jiajun needs them to invest all their resources into this venture.

Once he's dealt with the bandits inside, he'll start construction immediately!

After Chen Jiajun settled everything, that evening at Hung Hing's Chung Yee Tong.

Old Prison was already there with a dozen or so young demon brothers, all fully equipped, waiting for him.

A moment later the phone rang; it was Chen Jiajun calling.

Old Prison revealed a sinister smile and said to the young demon brothers, "Prepare to make your move!"

Three modified Hummers sped through the night, heading straight for Kowloon Walled City.

Ignoring the guards' attempts to stop him, Old Prison gave the order and the car smashed through the wooden gate.

Then the young demon brothers sitting in the back of the car opened fire with their rifles.

Anyone who appears before them is a target for their extermination. (End of Chapter)
