Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 216 They're not police officers, what's the rush!
The moment Xu Dajiang pinned Chen Santai to the ground, he lay there without resisting, thinking to himself that he was still going to get a beating!
In Chen Santai's view, this must be a follow-up to the previous conflict. All the talk about reconciliation a few days ago was nonsense. This is Ye Dongsheng teaching him a lesson again to vent his anger after he brought him here!
So Chen Santai didn't struggle, but just lay on the ground and shouted, "Ye Sheng, I'll take any punishment you want today, as long as you've vented your anger!"

Ye Dongsheng walked up to Chen Santai, shook his head, and said, "Hit you? Don't worry, I won't hit you!"

At this moment, two other burly men walked over, first searching Chen Santai's entire body, then grabbing his arm and lifting him up from the ground, pressing him down into a chair.

Chen Santai was a little confused and didn't understand what Ye Dongsheng was up to until a big man pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket and snapped them on his hands!

Chen Santai was dumbfounded: "You, you guys are..."

At this moment, Chan Ka-kui jumped in front of him: "We are Hong Kong Island police. You have the right to remain silent, but you..."

Ye Dongsheng reached out and interrupted Chen Jiaju: "Alright, alright, what do you mean by keeping silent? Get out of here, this kind of thing doesn't apply on the mainland!"

Chen Jiaju touched his nose sullenly and stepped aside.

Chen Santai was even more confused. How did Hong Kong police officers suddenly appear?
At this moment, Lu Ting walked over with Qi Wei: "Is this Chen Santai?"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "It's a pity that only he came."

Lu Ting glared at Chen Santai, exuding an imposing aura: "Chen Santai, we are from the joint investigation team of the Provincial Public Security Department. You are suspected of participating in a major cross-border criminal case. Now cooperate with us in the investigation!"

Looking at the people in front of him and sensing their familiar aura, Chen Santai instinctively felt that they had not lied to him.

Upon hearing that it was the Provincial Public Security Bureau, he assumed Ye Dongsheng was going to frame him for some crime, and quickly said:

"Officer, it's a misunderstanding! I just pulled out my gun to intimidate someone, it couldn't possibly be some major crime!"

Qi Wei pulled a photo directly from his pocket: "Do you recognize this person?"

When Chen Santai looked at the photo, he was immediately struck by the fact that it was his business partner. A sense of foreboding washed over him.

"I recognize him, this is Lin Yongfu! I invited him to have dinner with us, but he didn't come!"

"What Lin Yongfu? This man's real name is Fu Yonglin. He committed a major crime in Hong Kong Island and is a major drug lord. He is a top-level wanted criminal in Hong Kong Island!"

Chen Santai's mind went completely blank for a moment, then his face turned deathly pale. A wanted criminal, a major drug lord?!

No wonder there were Hong Kong police officers there, no wonder the provincial public security bureau came to arrest him, it turns out it was Lin Yongfu... ugh, this Fu Yonglin who brought it here!
Realizing what was happening, he immediately understood that he had been pulled into a deep pit and cried out in panic:

"Officer, I don't know! I really don't know his identity! I only know that he is Lin Yongfu, a businessman from Taiwan! He said he came to the mainland to invest!"

Qi Wei interrupted him: "Now I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them. Cooperate honestly! Resisting will be punished severely, and confessing will be treated leniently!"

At this moment, Chen Santai was in a panic. He wanted to contact Zhao Wendong to rescue him, but when he thought that Zhao Wendong was from the Provincial Public Security Bureau, he figured that Zhao Wendong wouldn't be able to help him.

Moreover, he truly had no idea that this damned Fu Yonglin had this unknown side; he was incredibly unlucky!

The only thing we can do now is cooperate with the police investigation and convince them that we are innocent!

"I'll cooperate! I'll definitely cooperate with the investigation!"

How did you meet Fu Yonglin?
And so, Qi Wei and Chen Santai began their question-and-answer interrogation, with Lu Minghua occasionally chiming in with a few questions.

After a long pause, Lu Minghua asked, "How much firepower does Fu Yonglin have? How many men? How many dangerous weapons like AK rifles and grenades?"

Chen Santai thought for a moment and said, "He usually has eight men with him, but as for how much firepower he has, I'm not too sure."

Qi Wei glared at him and said sternly:
"Chen Santai, I'm warning you, you are now suspected of harboring and concealing the suspect Fu Yonglin. You'd better cooperate obediently!"

With a bitter face, Chen Santai cried out, "Officer, I really didn't protect him! I didn't even know his identity!"
As for the weapons you mentioned, I only know that those people all carry pistols, but I've definitely never seen rifles or grenades!
However, there is a room in the luminous pearl where he stores his goods. It is always guarded by his brothers, and no one is allowed to get close to it. I was not even allowed to go in.

Therefore, I dare not say whether he has it or not!

Qi Wei and Lu Minghua exchanged a glance. It seemed that this room might be hiding some weapons and was Fu Yonglin's secret base.

Director Lu, who had been listening nearby, spoke up: "Chen Santai, can you find an excuse to lure Fu Yonglin out?"

Upon hearing this, the group all looked at Chen Santai, hoping that they could lure the person out and avoid a bloody battle.

Chen Santai thought for a moment, then hesitated and said, "I can try, but he might not listen to me. Today I asked him to come have dinner with me, and he wouldn't listen!"

At this moment, Ye Dongsheng asked, "Did Fu Yonglin refuse you after he heard that it was me who invited him?"

Chen Santai carefully recalled Fu Yonglin's reaction at the time, which was somewhat strange. Fu Yonglin, who was usually quite polite to him, actually showed no respect this time and left in a huff.

After he recounted the incident, Ye Dongsheng spoke directly:

"I think it's better not to let Chen Santai seduce him. Fu Yonglin didn't dare to come to the banquet because he was afraid I would recognize him. He's probably already on guard. If we fail to seduce him, we'll only alert him!"

Director Lu and the others agreed that this made sense, as it would be troublesome if the other party became suspicious and fled first.

According to Chen Santai, Fu Yonglin is a cautious person who spends most of his time stationed at Yemingzhu and doesn't usually cultivate connections. If Chen Santai doesn't go back tonight, it might arouse his suspicion.

At this moment, Ye Dongsheng asked another question that had been bothering him: "Chen Santai, according to you, your acquaintance with Fu Yonglin was a coincidence, and not because Ni Yongxiao recommended you to meet him?"

Chen Santai immediately shook his head and said, "No, no! They've never met! Mr. Ni's energy is mostly focused on Flashda. This nightclub was actually funded by me and Fu Yonglin; we just used his joint venture company name."

This surprised Ye Dongsheng. So it wasn't like he had initially guessed, that the two weren't colluding together?

Then, Ye Dongsheng said with a smile, "Director Lu, I have a plan. If we can't lure Fu Yonglin out, then we'll go over there. As long as Chen Santai cooperates obediently, we can easily take down Fu Yonglin!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Wei, quick-witted as ever, immediately said, "You mean we should disguise ourselves and follow Chen Santai back to Night Pearl!" Ye Dongsheng nodded and said, "That's right!"

Qi Wei then frowned again: "However, Fu Yonglin's side is cautious by nature. If we, as unfamiliar faces, suddenly go back with Chen Santai, we might arouse suspicion."

Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "We have a ready-made identity. We can impersonate Ni Yongxiao's subordinate. In name, Ni Yongxiao is also the owner of the nightclub, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to send someone over!"

Lu Minghua's eyes lit up: "This is a great idea! In this regard, the Hong Kong Island Police have a natural advantage!"

The demeanor of mainland police officers is very easy to discern; they don't look like people from Hong Kong.

But Director Lu shook his head and objected, saying, "No! The plan is fine, but it still needs to be executed by our mainland police!"

He was still worried about that one thing: if something happened to a Hong Kong Island police officer, it would be difficult to explain! If things went wrong, it could become a diplomatic incident and cause a political uproar!
At this moment, Chan Ka-kui jumped out again: "Commander Lo, we are a joint investigation team, and the Hong Kong Island Police have the authority to investigate cases! Your actions are a disregard for the capabilities of the Hong Kong Island Police and an insult to us. We firmly oppose it!"

Ye Dongsheng glared at Chen Jiaju: "Jiaju, how dare you talk like that!"

Lu Minghua also shouted, "Jiaju, step back!"

Chen Jiaju stepped back, but still held his head high, looking defiant.

Ye Dongsheng shook his head, ignoring him, and said, "Director Lu, Superintendent Lu, shall we talk over here?"

After pulling the two aside, Ye Dongsheng said, "Director Lu, I think I understand your intentions. You mean well and are worried about the safety of the Hong Kong police officers."

Director Lu bluntly stated, "Mr. Ye is right. This joint investigation is of extraordinary significance. If anything goes wrong, I won't be able to explain it to my superiors!"

Ye Dongsheng nodded: "Director Lu, I know you have your difficulties, but Superintendent Lu also has his own demands. In this joint operation, these Hong Kong Island police officers represent the Hong Kong Island police force. If they don't contribute anything and don't participate in the arrest of the criminals, it will be a disgrace!"

Your intentions are good, but if this gets back to Hong Kong, it will only give the mainland police a reputation for being arrogant and domineering, rather than a good one.

"Besides, based on my understanding of these police officers, even if you prevent them from participating, they'll still sneak into Night Pearl. You can't just detain them; that might lead to real trouble!"

Ye Dongsheng wasn't talking nonsense; given Chen Jiaju's personality, he really could do something like that!

Lu Minghua added, "Director Lu, what Mr. Ye said is indeed true. Please consider the demands of the Hong Kong police!"

Lu Minghua came here this time hoping to make a contribution. If the Hong Kong Island police do nothing, how will he brag when he gets back?
Seeing that Director Lu was already somewhat hesitant, Ye Dongsheng said again, "Director Lu, as for your concerns about security, there's really no need to worry. If everything goes smoothly, there won't be any use of firearms."

Even if something unexpected happens and a shootout ensues, two of these Hong Kong Island police officers are extremely skilled and capable, having fought against ruthless criminals for years. They are no less capable than mainland police officers. I can guarantee they will be safe!

Director Lu considered Ye Dongsheng's reputation during this cooperation and then said:

“Mr. Ye, I believe you. This way, those two Hong Kong Island police officers you mentioned can be involved. But Superintendent Luk, you absolutely cannot go and charge into battle!”

Lu Minghua really wanted to go, but Ye Dongsheng patted him on the shoulder and agreed for him: "No problem, Superintendent Lu is the commander, of course he won't go to the front line!"

After the three finished their discussion, Ye Dongsheng walked up to Chen Santai with a smile: "Brother Tai, we've known each other for a long time, so don't say I didn't help you. I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself!"

Chen Santai nodded vigorously: "I'll cooperate! I'll cooperate completely! Mr. Ye, you have to say something for me, I really didn't know anything! I'm innocent!"

……

In the afternoon, at the Pearl of the Night, Scarface was sitting at the door smoking when he saw two cars approaching from afar and stopping in front of him.

The car door opened, and Chen Santai stepped out first. Then, six or seven burly men in black suits got out of the two cars. They were all wearing sunglasses, and their attire clearly indicated that they were not locals from mainland China!

After they got closer, Scarface looked them over and saw that there were seven people in total, besides Chen Santai, all of whom were unfamiliar faces.

Scarface rushed forward to greet him: "Brother Tai, you're back! And who are these people...?"

Chen Santai said irritably, "They are all my distinguished guests! Go tell Boss Lin that Mr. Ni's people have arrived and invite him over to discuss the luminous pearl!"

Scarface glanced at the group again. Qi Wei, standing next to Chen Santai, was handsome and had an outstanding presence; he looked like a boss. Qi Wei had previously worked undercover in drug enforcement, so impersonating a gangster was no problem for him.

The men following behind him, Chan Ka-kui and Chiu Kong-au, were indeed from Hong Kong; their hairstyles and demeanor made them instantly recognizable.

As for the other four, they all had buzz cuts, but they all looked fierce and exuded a menacing aura. They didn't look like good people at first glance, and some even looked like triad members. This wasn't surprising, as many mainland veterans were going to Hong Kong Island to make a living at that time, and some even became henchmen for triad bosses.

"Yes, I'll go find the boss right away!"

Scarface immediately turned and ran inside, bursting into Fu Yonglin's room in no time: "Boss, Brother Tai has arrived with Ni Yongxiao's men!"

Soon, Fu Yonglin, dressed, pushed open the door and came out, his eyes wide: "What did you say? Ni Yongxiao is here?!"

Scarface immediately shook his head: "It wasn't Ni Yongxiao, it was his men! There were seven in total, I saw them, they were all wearing suits, and quite a few of them were ruthless!"

Fu Yonglin scoffed, "Damn it, Ni Yongxiao loves to pull this kind of stunt. If you're going to join a gang, just join a gang, why make your underlings wear suits and ties? What kind of elites are you trying to be! What a hypocrite!"

Fu Yonglin was mentally prepared for the meeting with Ni Yongxiao's people. With the luminous pearl under Ni Yongxiao's company, such encounters were inevitable.

He just thought that Ni Yongxiao sent people here not necessarily to talk about the nightclub itself, but more likely about Fing Touwan!

Scarface asked, "Boss, what do we do? Should we get our weapons ready?"

"Pick up! What kind of weapons are you going to bring? They're just a few of Ni Yongxiao's men, not police officers, what's the big deal!"
"Let's go talk to them first, and if we can't reach an agreement, we'll talk about it again!"
