Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 780 "779" Soros Fund Buys an Undercover Agent! Little Ghost: We Need More Money!
Hong Kong Island, Soros Fund Management.

"Boss Jones~~~"

"The boss's approval has arrived from the US headquarters. Please check your email."

"it is good."

Jones opened his email on his computer and started reading.

"Establish a special intelligence team to closely monitor the movements of Guan Zu and his Five Star Group — George Soros!"

Jones thought for a moment, then made a call to his assistant to schedule a meeting.

Ten minutes later, the entire core team of the Soros Fund gathered in Rodney Jones's office for a meeting.

"The boss said we need to gather internal intelligence on the Five Star Group. What do you all think we should do to do that?"

Buck, who was in charge of field operations, said: "The basic methods of intelligence gathering are nothing more than infiltration, bribery, and surveillance. These three are the most common."

"First, we can start with former employees. Former employees definitely have a lot of internal information. Spend some money to find a headhunting firm to connect them with a company that can't refuse their offer."

"Resigned? Five Star Group has employees who have resigned?"

"I don't believe there aren't any former employees; I can go and look for them."

Tom, an analyst on the team, pushed up his glasses: "Regarding undercover work, I have a Vietnamese friend who used to serve in the U.S. Special Forces. We could try to get him in as a security guard. During his shifts, he could learn about the access control for each floor."

"It might be difficult for people of Vietnamese descent to get in..."

Looking for a local one?

“Locally, the only way is to find those who owe money to hire them, but I think that’s too slow. I think it would be better to investigate who in the Five Star Group owes money and we can bribe them… or we could set up a scheme, a gamble, to make some middle manager owe a large sum of money.”

“Another approach, I think, is to start from the bottom. The cleaning ladies and the waiters in the break room, these people are inconspicuous, but they are on every floor every day. Give the cleaning ladies an extra three thousand yuan a month and ask them to look out for any loose or damaged documents in the trash cans; build good relationships with the waiters in the break room, they can overhear the executives chatting.”

20 minutes later,
A rough framework for an intelligence team was thus established.

The plan, the person in charge, the external liaison, the funding, etc., are all finalized.

Jones stood up, his gaze sweeping over the core members present:
"Then it's settled."

"First, find former employees of the Five Star Group, use headhunters to make connections, and offer high prices."

"Second, investigate financial loopholes at the middle management level, target them, set up traps, and force them to comply."

"Third, win over the cleaning lady and the tea room staff, and pay them monthly in exchange for information."

"fourth,……"

"Remember to be careful... Meeting adjourned!"

Everyone readily agreed and quickly left the office.

Jones walked to the window, watching the traffic flow below, his fingers unconsciously stroking the tabletop.

I don't know why, but I always feel like I'm overlooking something.

……

……

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

the Philippines,
Okada Manila Casino.

Night fell over the casino, but the dazzling golden lights outside illuminated the entire casino, making it as bright as day, a golden expanse.

at this time,

The casino was bustling with noise; the hum of the spinning roulette wheel, the clinking of chips, and the shouts of gamblers, some excited and some frustrated, mingled together.

One of the gambling tables was a blackjack table.

That is, Blackjack.

Xi Gui and Liu Piaopiao were huddled together, with a stack of chips piled up in front of them.

(P.S.: Piaopiao is from "Dances with Dragon," while Liu Piaopiao is from "King of Comedy." They are not the same person.)
The little devil was wearing a white shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows. He was clutching two cards tightly in his hand, his knuckles white from the force.

Liu Piaopiao, dressed in a floral dress, watched nervously.

"We're sure to win this round!"

The dealer, expressionless, dealt Xi Gui another card. Xi Gui lifted a corner of the card, his eyes lit up with delight, and he slammed his hand on the table.

"Nine points! The three cards add up to nineteen points!"

He practically shouted it out, his voice ringing out loudly in the noisy casino, drawing the attention of everyone around them.

Liu Piaopiao clapped her hands excitedly, "Great! We're sure to win!"

The dealer remained expressionless, holding a six-point card and an eleven-point card, totaling seventeen points. When the third card was revealed to be a four-point card, a collective sigh of regret suddenly arose from the surrounding crowd.

Twenty-one!
The smile on Xi Gui's face froze instantly, and Liu Piaopiao was also stunned.

"How could this happen..." Liu Piaopiao was immediately dejected.

The little devil slammed his fist on the table in anger, scratching his head in frustration: "Damn it! So close!"

He watched as the dealer took away the chips in front of them, his eyes red with rage, a complete gambler who had lost.

"Come again!"

The little devil slammed his fist on the table in a rage: "Lend me another million, and I can still win!"

Liu Piaopiao quickly grabbed him: "No, you've already lost more than 800 million in the past two months. Let's stop gambling, okay?"

With red eyes, Xi Gui exclaimed, "No way! No one can lose forever. My luck will surely turn soon!"

Finally, he approached the casino manager to ask for another loan.

"Mr. He, you can't keep gambling like this, losing every time you go through it..."

"You're right, I'll borrow 500 million right away!"

Casino Manager: "…………"

I almost vomited blood.

That's not what I meant!

Casino manager: "I'll apply to my superiors."

The casino manager called to report it, and soon after, the higher-ups actually approved 500 million.

Casino Manager: "???"

Previously, this Mr. He had submitted his identity information to the casino and borrowed money twice.

Now the total is over 1000 million.

It seems that Mr. He is no ordinary person, otherwise the higher-ups would not have approved it.

His attitude became uncontrollably respectful.

then,

Xi Gui and Liu Piaopiao, carrying 500 million, headed to the casino.

Liu Piaopiao sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to dissuade Xi Gui, but Xi Gui seemed possessed: "Don't stop me, I will definitely win this time!"

then,

Another half day passed, and then it was evening.

The little devil won at first, then lost, then won again, then continued to lose... In the end, he lost all 500 million.

Liu Piaopiao was a little scared; it was over 1000 million!
That's it.

Gambling is absolutely terrifying.

The little devil stood up and howled in defiance, "I don't believe it! I'll borrow again! I can win again!"

People around them turned to look.

not far away,
The two foreigners looked at the little devil and discussed in hushed tones.

"It's confirmed. He's been gambling here for over two months and has lost more than 10 million..."

"Would you consider this a suitable target?"

"If this doesn't count, then what does?"

"It shouldn't be a trap, right?"

"That's impossible. We only received this task a few days ago, but he came to gamble two months ago."

"Then, should we contact him?"

"Report it first, then we'll talk."

……

22 points,
The evening breeze blew in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the lounge.

The little ghost leaned on the railing, clutching an empty wine glass in his hand, occasionally leaning out as if he wanted to jump, like a gambler who had lost and was preparing to commit suicide.

"Sir, are you alone?"

The sound from behind made Xi Gui's shoulders twitch.

He turned around and saw a tall foreigner in a light gray suit, with his sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing a Rolex gold watch.

The foreigner was holding two glasses of wine and handed one to me.

Xi Gui didn't take it, but just stared at the other person, his eyes still bloodshot from losing the bet.

"You look like you're having some trouble."

The foreigner didn't insist, took a sip of his drink, and glanced at the little devil's empty glass.

"In casinos, when you win, it's like walking on clouds; when you lose everything, it's like falling into the sea—you can't hold on to anything." The little devil's voice was hoarse: "Who are you? What do you want?"

"Nothing much." The foreigner smiled and placed the glass of wine he hadn't handed out on the stone table next to him. "I just feel that sometimes, people who fall into the sea don't necessarily have to struggle on their own."

"Another method is for someone to go into the sea to rescue them..."

Xi Gui gave a bitter laugh: "Save? Who will save us?"

"That depends on whether you want to be rescued..." The foreigner took a sip of his drink and said, "I live on the 9th floor, room 907. If you've made up your mind, call me before 10 a.m. tomorrow, and we'll have a cup of coffee together."

The footsteps faded into the distance, but the little ghost was still leaning on the railing, as if hesitating.

However, in places where foreigners cannot see...

The little devil's lips curled up.

Two months later... damn it, I actually caught a fish.

Not easy.

Brother Zu, send someone else next time. I'm about to throw up in this place.

It's all a show from beginning to end.

The little devil was in hell, but Guan Zu pulled him out of hell, and also pulled his sister out of hell. Now they have a wonderful life.

In his heart, he was extremely grateful to Guan Zu, and he would not hesitate to give his life to Guan Zu.

Because he had suffered hardships, he did not like gambling.

For the past two months, he has come to the Philippines once a week, just to complete Guan Zu's fishing mission.

As for why not choose Haojiang?
Everyone knows that Guan Zu and Mr. He from Macau are close, which would make this fishing scheme seem full of loopholes.

……

……

Hong Kong Island.

Early in the morning, Guan Zu was having breakfast.

Then Xu Xi from the Philippines called to report on the progress.

"Has someone made contact?"

"Yes."

Guan Zu raised an eyebrow.

He sent the little devil fishing because he wanted to test whether the Soros Foundation would try to gather intelligence.

Although it is unknown whether the person who contacted the ghost was from the Soros Fund, Guan Zu guessed that it was highly likely.

Because apart from the British forces, no other force in Hong Kong dares to poach their driver; even Ashton wouldn't dare.

"In a few more days..."

Guan Zu tapped the table and said.

"and many more……"

He stared wide-eyed at what he saw: his daughter had crawled to a corner, caught a large sprite, and was about to put it in her mouth.

"Ah~~~ Ah girl, no!"

Guan Zu, the groundhog, screamed and teleported instantly.

They stole it.

"Wow~~~~"

My precious daughter burst into tears; my precious baby had been taken away.

……

……

the Philippines.

in the hotel.

"Are you crazy! You dare to take their money?"

Liu Piaopiao stared at Xi Gui in shock, unable to believe it.

"Do you know what they want? They dared to give you over 1000 million, so they definitely want to get more from you. What do you have that they would value? That's Mr. Guan!"

"They must want you to betray Mr. Guan!"

Xi Gui looked guilty: "I'm sorry, I had my reasons!"

He hugged Liu Piaopiao.

Liu Piaopiao angrily slapped him: "Don't touch me!"

The little devil said bitterly, "Listen to me!"

Liu Piaopiao yelled, "Get out of here! I don't want someone like you, ungrateful and opportunistic! I misjudged you!"

Xi Gui took a step forward to hug her, but as soon as his arms encircled Liu Piaopiao's waist, she pushed him away as if she were a madwoman.

"Do not touch me!"

Liu Piaopiao is a very complex person. She was deceived out of her naivety and forced into the sex industry. She often uses vulgar language and aggressive behavior to deal with customers. She seems indifferent to everything, but in fact, she uses this method to protect herself from harm.

Despite struggling at the bottom of society, she still held onto hope for love. If she hadn't met Xi Gui, she might have met Yin Tianchou later on. In the original story, when Yin Tianchou told her "I'll take care of you," she appeared indifferent but was actually in tears.

She is a kind-hearted person.

She thought Xi Gui was nice, thoughtful and gentle, but now she discovered that Xi Gui was actually a person with no bottom line who betrayed Brother Zu for gambling.

As for why Xi Gui liked her, it was partly because he liked her personality, and partly because his younger sister had been forced into prostitution, so he felt very sorry for Liu Piaopiao.

"Piaopiao, let me explain!"

The little devil reached out to grab her again, and she pounded her other hand on his chest with all her might, her fists hitting his floral shirt with a dull thud.

"Explain what? Explain why you're plotting to betray your master for personal gain?"

Her voice trembled with emotion, choked with sobs.

"Mr. Guan treated you so well, and now you've betrayed him for money!"

"I misjudged you."

Xi Gui: "…………"

The woman struggling wildly in my arms, who is usually gentle and tender, is now as difficult to hold down as a pig.

Helpless, Xi Gui whispered in Liu Piaopiao's ear, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you the truth. This is what Brother Zu told me to do."

Based on Liu Piaopiao's performance just now, Xi Gui can briefly tell her the truth.

Liu Piaopiao: "Huh?"

Xi Guidi whispered, "There might be a bug here, so keep your voice down. Anyway, don't know too much about this, just know that Brother Zu ordered me to do this."

Liu Piaopiao whispered, "Really?"

Xi Gui: "Of course it's true. Brother Zu has been incredibly kind to me, how could I possibly betray him? Besides, I don't even like gambling."

Liu Piaopiao: "…………"

He twisted the little devil's waist hard: "Why didn't you say so sooner..."

Xi Gui gasped, "It's acting, I'm afraid you'll give yourself away..."

Then, looking at Liu Piaopiao, he said, "Piaopiao, you're so beautiful~~"

Liu Piaopiao: "??"

Confused,

Then she was forced down onto the bed.

"No, wait a minute... mmm..."

……

after an hour,

10 points,
In room 907, heavy velvet curtains blocked out all sunlight, with only the room light on.

Pete sat on the leather sofa, an unlit Cohiba cigar between his fingers, and the whiskey in the crystal glass on the table was untouched.

He is waiting.

I checked the time; it was already 10 o'clock.

The little devil hasn't arrived yet.

"Did it fail?"

“This is a huge achievement; I can get at least a $20 bonus.”

After he had been hesitating for 20 minutes,

The little devil has arrived.

“You’ve come.” Pete looked up, his lighter clicking to ignite a blue flame as he lit his cigar.

"I am coming."
