Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 195 Chen Yongren: You surnamed Huang, I quit!
Night falls, the streetlights come on, and colorful neon lights flash on both sides of the street, marking the beginning of a lively nightlife.

"Hey kid, can't you watch where you're going?"

Near the bar, two or three young men pushed Chen Yongren, who had just bumped into them, to the ground.

But Chen Yongren ignored them and silently got up, staggering forward.

"This guy!"

"Forget it, forget it, don't bother with a drunkard like that!"

Even though he had drunk some alcohol, given Chen Yongren's physical condition, he was not drunk at all.

But at this moment, he was in a daze, and the words that the senior Qi Jingsheng had just told him kept echoing in his mind:

"Being an undercover agent is inhuman!"

"Undercover agents are just tools for superiors to get promoted!"

"After more than ten years of hard work, my family was destroyed, and my wife ran off with someone else!"

Many images flashed through his mind: the tears he shed as a child being called a wild child, the disgust he felt for his father, Ni Kun, the gangster who abandoned him and his mother, the determination to become a policeman and prove himself, the joy of being praised as the best student by the principal at the police academy, and...

The helplessness and heartache of being forced to go undercover when Huang Zhicheng came to his door, citing his background issues as the reason why he could not join the police force normally.

He clearly remembered Huang Zhicheng's promise to him: as long as he completed the mission, he would be recalled to the police force and could become a policeman with dignity!

For more than a year, he first joined a small gang as a thug, spending his days fighting and killing on the streets. The process of having to corrupt his conscience despite his own desire for good caused him great pain!

Fortunately, Huang Zhicheng later ordered him to join Dongfeng Express, and he finally had six months of good life. However, he still held onto his dream of becoming a policeman for so many years!

But now, Qi Jingsheng's words have almost shattered Chen Yongren's dream of becoming a policeman.

They had eliminated 12 criminal gangs, yet they were constantly being kept in suspense by Superintendent Cheng, who refused to fulfill his promise.

And what about Chen Yongren? How many criminal gangs does he have to take down before he can return to the police force?
The way Superintendent Cheng used his identity to blackmail Qi Jingsheng and the other two is strikingly similar to Huang Zhicheng's tactic of using his status as the illegitimate son of a triad boss to blackmail Chen Yongren!
Is Chen Yongren merely Huang Zhicheng's tool and consumable, used to complete various tasks, kept in limbo for over a decade, and ultimately suffer the same fate as that old undercover agent?

Chen Yongren held his head, wondering if Huang Zhicheng would be treated differently from Superintendent Cheng. Would he receive different treatment?

He then gave a wry smile. How could these police officers' usual practices change because of Chen Yongren? Qi Jingsheng was right, going undercover is a one-way street!

With his dream of becoming a policeman shattered, Chen Yongren staggered back home.

Ding dong, ding dong...

After Ah May opened the door, Chen Yongren hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Ren-ge, what's wrong today? What happened?"

Smelling the smell of alcohol on Chen Yongren and noticing his unusual behavior, Ah May immediately expressed her concern.

"I don't want to continue..." Chen Yongren murmured.

Ah May was startled, not knowing what had happened.

A year ago, after she got together with Chen Yongren, he started drinking and fighting every few days. He was often bruised and battered and had to go to the police station every week, which made Ah May very sad and she shed countless tears.

But later, perhaps because Buddha heard her wish, Chen Yongren suddenly stopped being a gangster and found a proper job at Dongfeng Express!

Although she was just a deliveryman shuttling through the streets and alleys, and not as glamorous as a white-collar worker, being able to live a down-to-earth life made Ah May cry tears of joy!
Later, when Chen Yongren became a deliveryman, he had more free time to spend with her, which made Ah May extremely happy. She felt that she was living the happiest period of her life.

But now, Chen Yongren says he doesn't want to continue. In addition, the smell of alcohol on his body has brought back bad memories, making Ah May feel uneasy. She is afraid that after he leaves Dongfeng Express, he will go and join some gangsters!

Ah May quickly asked, "Ren-ge, what happened? Did you encounter some grievances at the company?"

Calm down first. Didn't you say the company and your boss treated you well? And your colleagues were all nice too, so why do you suddenly want to quit?

Chen Yongren glanced at his girlfriend and then asked, "May, do you want me to stay with Dongfeng Express forever?"

Ah May nodded and said, "Brother Ren, I think Dongfeng Express is great. You don't even realize how much more you smile after you joined Dongfeng Express!"
Work can be frustrating sometimes. If you really don't like your current job, then apply to transfer back to being a delivery driver. Whatever makes you happy!

Chen Yongren scrutinized Ah May for a moment, and thinking about his days at Dongfeng Express over the past few months, he made up his mind!

"Ah May, I'm afraid I can't be a deliveryman anymore..."

"Ah? Why?"

"Because Mr. Ye said he wanted me to be the store manager~"

Upon hearing this, Ah May's eyes widened, her previously anxious expression froze, and the next moment she patted Chen Yongren's chest:

"You're so annoying! You think it's fun to play tricks on me? I was so worried! So you went out drinking to celebrate! I thought..."

Chen Yongren cupped Ah May's face in his hands: "What did you think?"

"No la!"

Then, her face lit up with surprise: "Ren-ge, are you serious? Ye Sheng really wants you to be the store manager!"

"Of course! Mr. Ye told me this himself today!"

"Wow! Honey, you're amazing!" Ah May squealed joyfully, even happier than if she had gotten a promotion and a raise!
Chen Yongren also picked up his girlfriend and happily spun her around.

"Ren-ge, stop spinning! Put me down!"

Feeling his girlfriend patting him, Chen Yongren stopped: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Ah May tidied her hair, then looked up and met Chen Yongren's gaze. Mustering her courage, she said, "I...I'm pregnant!"

Chen Yongren froze for a moment, and after several seconds, he finally opened his mouth:

"mine?"

"Nonsense! Of course it's yours!" Ah May said irritably.

A surge of indescribable excitement welled up in Chen Yongren's heart. He looked at Ah May, then at her belly, and exclaimed with ecstatic joy:

"I'm going to be a dad?! I'm going to be a dad!!"

Seeing Chen Yongren's reaction, Ah May breathed a sigh of relief. She had indeed chosen a responsible and good man!

Chen Yongren wanted to hug his girlfriend to celebrate, but then pulled his hand back, afraid of hurting the baby in her womb.
His cautious and clumsy manner made Ah May chuckle, and then she snuggled into Chen Yongren's arms: "Brother Ren, shall we get married?"

"Okay! Let's get married!" Chen Yongren hugged his future wife and unborn child, feeling a surge of responsibility and mission.

Screw undercover work! Screw the cop dream!

From now on, he won't be alone anymore; he'll also have to think about his wife and children! He'll have to earn money to support his family and give them a bright future!

……

The following day, in a building in Mong Kok.

When Huang Zhicheng pushed open the door and walked onto the rooftop, he found Chen Yongren already standing by the railing, his body straight!
Huang Zhicheng thought to himself, "When I saw this kid before, he always looked a bit melancholy. How come he has such a different demeanor today, looking so energetic?"
Huang Zhicheng walked up to Chen Yongren and asked, "Hey, Ren, have you found anything with Oriental Express lately? Also, in this robbery case, was the AK that Ye Dongsheng had really stolen from the robbers?"

Chen Yongren didn't look at him, but looked ahead: "Whether it was stolen from robbers or not is none of your business. Even if it wasn't, what can you do to Dongfeng Express?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhicheng was first taken aback, and then his face immediately turned red!
Chen Yongren's words were quite clear: the police force has already classified this case, so what makes you, Huang Zhicheng, think you can find fault and overturn the case?
Do you think Huang Zhicheng is Huang Bingyao?
The contempt in his words was made no attempt to conceal it!
Huang Zhicheng roared, "Is this how you talk to your superior?! I'm asking you a question, you answer it, don't you understand?!"

Chen Yongren snorted coldly: "Inspector Huang, let me tell you right now, I found nothing at Dongfeng Express. It's a legitimate company, and there's absolutely nothing going on with the flour business you suspect! Do you understand?"

"Are you crazy? What's wrong with you?" Huang Zhicheng reached out to grab Chen Yongren's collar.

But Chen Yongren slapped him away:

"I'm crazy? Do you know how hard it is to be an undercover agent? You come when you call and go when you ask, and you can infiltrate the gang with just a word. Do you know how many times I've been slashed? Have you ever cared about me even once?!"

In your eyes, are undercover agents not even human beings, but merely tools?

Faced with Chen Yongren's direct questioning, Huang Zhicheng was speechless, and then his anger grew even stronger:
"If you're going undercover, you should have been mentally prepared for all this! Do you expect me to fuss over you every day? I'm your superior, not your mother!"

Then, Huang Zhicheng kicked the railing in front of him hard. All those six months of effort to have Chen Yongren infiltrate Dongfeng Express had been for nothing!
Moreover, it seems that Chen Yongren has run into problems while staying at Dongfeng Express. He is becoming increasingly disobedient to his management and has even started to openly argue and quarrel with him!
No, this can't go on any longer!
Huang Zhicheng waved his hand: "There's no need to investigate Dongfeng Express anymore! You resign now, and after the New Year, jump ship to Ni Yongxiao's Flash Delivery! Keep a close eye on Ni Yongxiao then!"

Chen Yongren did not answer, but instead asked:
"Inspector Wong, when will you fulfill the promise you made to me back then?"

Huang Zhicheng frowned: "Fulfill the promise?"

"Inspector Wong, you haven't forgotten, have you? You said that if I went undercover, you would let me return to the police force!"

"What are you thinking? You haven't solved any cases yet, and you already want to go back to the police force? Do you think the police are just there to do nothing?"

"What happens after the investigation of Ni Yongxiao? You guarantee I can go back?"

"Hmph! Let's talk after we've finished investigating!"

"laugh!"

Chen Yongren revealed a mocking smile. Sure enough, one mission after another, using the issue of his identity and the threat of returning to the police force to keep him on the hook. He did whatever he was told, without considering his own feelings at all, completely treating the undercover agent as a tool!

This kind of undercover life, with no future and no hope, is for anyone who wants to do it!
"Go check it yourself!"

"What? What did you say?!" Huang Zhicheng thought he had misheard.

"I said, who the hell do you think you are? You can't just tell me not to be a policeman and make me quit like that!"
"Hey Huang, I've put up with you for too long, I'm done!" Chen Yongren cursed, pointing at Huang Zhicheng.

Huang Zhicheng was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening:
"You! What do you mean? Don't forget, your file is still with me! If you don't comply, you can forget about ever becoming a police officer again!"

"I'll wash your mother's ass! Whoever wants to be a cop can be one! From now on, I'm working for Dongfeng Express. Go ahead and go find Ye Sheng to fire me if you dare!"

After saying that, Chen Yongren shoved Huang Zhicheng aside and strode away.

Huang Zhicheng was left standing there, looking utterly ashamed and angry: "Damn it! Damn it! How dare he!"

Huang Zhicheng pounded on the railing in front of him, venting his anger.

He wanted to teach Chen Yongren a lesson, but after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that the other party had given up on the path of becoming a policeman, so he really couldn't do anything about Chen Yongren!
As for going to find Ye Dongsheng and having him fire Chen Yongren, Huang Zhicheng, a mere senior inspector, is really no match for Ye Dongsheng now!
More importantly, without his younger brother Chen Yongren as an undercover agent, how is he supposed to investigate Ni Yongxiao now?!

Huang Zhicheng was overcome with a surge of impotent rage!
Meanwhile, in the police station's conference room, many reporters were snapping photos.

In the shot, Ye Dongsheng is holding hands with a foreigner, both of them holding a certificate in their other hands, and then they both turn their heads to smile at the camera.

This foreigner is none other than the Commissioner of Police, the top officer in the police force!
This scene is the police awarding Ye Dongsheng the "Heroic Citizen" award.

After the awards ceremony, the foreigner smiled at Ye Dongsheng and said, "Mr. Ye, thank you for your help to the police force this time!"

"It's all as it should be~"

After a few brief pleasantries, the foreigner left.

Ye Dongsheng smiled. He could tell that this foreign section chief had no intention of befriending him; he was just there to go through the motions.

He wasn't angry, after all, the top cop in the police force was a big shot in the whole of Hong Kong Island, and Dongfeng Express was not a company that could attract his attention.

Ye Dongsheng smiled. Right now, the police force is still dominated by foreigners. In a few years, it will be the turn of the Chinese to take charge!
He'll definitely be associating with high-ranking Chinese officers in the police force, like Wong Bing Yiu! His position as Chief Superintendent is more than enough for Ye Dongsheng at the moment.

Half an hour later, at the headquarters of Daoheng Bank, in the VIP room.

"Mr. Ye, all the formalities have been completed! Thank you for trusting Daoheng Bank!" President Ma personally presented the passbook with both hands.

This expression of gratitude was truly heartfelt. After all, although Daoheng Bank narrowly survived this bank run, it suffered considerable damage, and its cash reserves were significantly reduced after many customers withdrew their funds.

Now that Ye Dongsheng has deposited 3000 million yuan into Daoheng Bank, it has somewhat alleviated the bank's pressure. Although, in the first place, this 3000 million yuan was a loan from Daoheng Bank to Ye Dongsheng!

Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "President Ma, I believe in Daoheng Bank's strength and your management skills!"

Now, he doesn't want Daoheng Bank to go bankrupt, after all, 18% interest per year for the next 10 years is quite a lot!

After seeing Ye Dongsheng off, President Ma returned to his office and called the head of the credit department: "You know our current situation; we're short of cash flow. You need to do everything you can to collect the money you can!"

The credit minister thought for a moment and asked, "Bank president, should we also collect those long-term loans?"

After thinking for a moment, President Ma shook his head and said, "Let's forget about long-term loans and just repay them normally to avoid any negative rumors about us. But we need to recover all short-term loans, especially those that are bridge loans, to alleviate our cash flow pressure!"

"Yes!"

After returning, the credit minister immediately summoned his subordinates and assigned tasks to them one by one.

Subsequently, he personally took some large loan contracts and made phone calls to collect the debts.

Then he saw a name on the contract: Ding Xiaoxie.

He knew this man well; he was the leader of the Zhongqing Society, who had previously helped their credit department collect debts. He was essentially a dog kept by Daoheng Bank. A while ago, he borrowed 1000 million from them, and now they had to collect it back!
