Chapter 291 James' Nightmare Returns

Chen Guozhong let everyone make a fuss.

There's a saying that goes something like this...

Why risk your life for a mere 3,000 yuan a month for firewood and water?
These frontline police officers risk their lives every day, using firewood and water like this.

Chen Guozhong cannot make everyone safe, but he can provide a stable environment.

Sometimes, the internal environment can be more damaging than the external environment.

Besides, it's obvious where these people go when they go out to have fun—it's probably Ah Kun's place.

How much can you spend for a night of unlimited fun?
Even if he had to send his men out to play every day, he could still afford it.

Sprinkle some water!

Chen Guozhong consciously returned to his office, refusing to participate in his subordinates' revelry.

It's not that I don't want to mingle with them.

As my position changed, a distance naturally grew between us and them.

In a police station, a sense of distance is very important, as it represents authority.

In a disciplined force, without authority, death is not far off.

Xiu said that even the Boss Wong of the Kowloon Police Station treated his subordinates with great respect.

After all, besides being a police superintendent, Chan Kwok-chung is also one of the wealthiest people in the Hong Kong Chinese world.

He also knew how to use this identity.

His donations to the police station alone far exceeded those of others.

Chen Guozhong sat down and made a phone call to Apple:
"Are you free tonight? Shall we have dinner together?"

Apple lamented:
“I have so much to learn. Adao wants to establish the group’s network department. According to him, it may even become independent in the future.”

"He intentionally put me in charge of this department."

"I had no idea what to do."

Chen Guozhong said gently:

"I don't admire Adao for anything else, but when it comes to vision, I admire him very much."

"He must have seen something that we didn't see."

Apple exclaimed excitedly:
"Ado said that when electronic computers and the internet are developed, the whole world will become a village."

"We'll know what happened to Ami in a minute."

"The speed of information flow will become extremely fast!"

Chen Guozhong asked in surprise:
"What's so strange about that?"

"Isn't that what telephones do these days?"

Apple shook its head:
"That's different."

“Ado said that ancient empires could expand their territory as far as they could.”

"The reason is that they use the border as a buffer zone."

"If information flow had been the way it is now back then, then the border regions would have become inland."

"The effect is revolutionary."

"The power of the internet is that we can know about major events happening on the other side in the blink of an eye."

"It has not only sound, but also images!"

Chen Guozhong was taken aback and said incredulously:
"Is it really so?"

"Isn't that a scene from Star Wars?"

Apple laughed:

"That's why I have to study hard."

"Otherwise, how can we keep up with Ado and the others?"

Chen Guozhong nodded slowly:
"It makes sense!"

Apple apologized, saying:
"Brother Zhong, I got out of class very late, but I'll have dinner with you. How about a little later?"

Chen Guozhong said indulgently:

"There is no problem."

"I go……"

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and someone shouted,
"Inspector Chen, I need to take Chen Tai with me!"

Apple was taken aback and pressed for an answer:
"Brother Zhong, it seems like something's happened to you?"

Chen Guozhong glanced at the uninvited guest and said dismissively:
"Just an impolite guy."

"Honey, I'll talk to you later."

Apple obediently hung up the phone.

Chen Guozhong put down the phone and stared directly at the person who barged in.

Even today, no one in the Kowloon Police Station dares to enter without knocking.

That's right, not only would Chen Xinjian not do that, but even General Manager Huang wouldn't do that.

That was out of respect for Chen Guozhong.

Besides the two of them, no one else would dare to do that.

However, such people have now appeared.

This guy isn't from the Kowloon Headquarters, but from headquarters—James!

Chen Guozhong waved his hand, and a pen on the table fell to the ground.

"Pick it up for me!"

James was furious, but then he saw Chen Guozhong's eyes—cold, scrutinizing, and oppressive.

"I told you to pick it up!"

James felt incredibly humiliated. Why should you pick it up?

That's what I think in my heart, but my body tells a different story.

He obediently stepped forward, bent down to pick up the pen, and respectfully placed it on the table.

Chen Guozhong pointed:

"Go out and knock on the door."

James nearly went crazy. "I'm a senior superintendent directly under the Political Department of headquarters. All I did was enter your office without knocking!"

Why are you treating me like this?
But he still obediently pushed open the door and went out—and knocked!

It's not that he chickened out, okay, he definitely chickened out!

James never expected that Chen Guozhong would have such a powerful presence.

It was an aura that completely exceeded his expectations.

Simply incredible!

"Please come in!"

James then pushed open the door and came in, his face looking very unpleasant:

“Ah Zhong.”

"I'm taking Chen Tai with me."

Chen Guozhong gestured for him to sit down and asked, "What's the reason?"

James stared at him, dumbfounded.
"Do I need a reason to mention someone?"

Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"want!"

"I would have given this to you if you were a regular person."

"However, this person is no good."

"He orchestrated a heinous murder."

"He riddled five people with bullets."

"It caused a stir in the martial arts world."

"I must quell this tremor as quickly as possible."

"Otherwise, it would cause upheaval in Hong Kong society and disrupt public order."

"This will have a negative impact on our finances."

James couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, shouting loudly,

"What are you thinking?"

What business is it of ours what Hong Kong's finances are?

Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"Yes, I have."

“Your political department’s approval of funds goes through special channels.”

“Our Kowloon Police Station is not one of them.”

"If there is financial turmoil, our budget will be reduced next year, and the equipment and benefits for our brothers will be cut."

Do you think this will have any impact on us?

James was dumbfounded, then enraged:
“I am James, Senior Superintendent of the Special Branch of the Police Station. I have the authority to supervise any officer in the Police Station who is below me.”

"This is a headquarters regulation."

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"Okay!"

"Could you please provide me with an official document and a receipt?"

James jumped up in a flash.

"I'm James. Do you want me to give you a receipt?"

Chen Guozhong tilted his head and said:

"So what? Why won't you give me a receipt?"

James burst into laughter:
"Why?"

"Strength!"

"I'm stronger than you, so you have to listen to me obediently."

Chen Guozhong chuckled:
"Strength?"

"Okay, I'll give it to you after I make a few calls."

James chuckled:
"Why didn't you just compromise like this a long time ago?"

Chen Guozhong looked at him mockingly:
Why should I compromise for you?

James said seriously:

"Ah Zhong, we have a pretty good relationship, don't we?"

Why are you so stubborn?

"You're not as good as me, so why don't you just follow the rules?"

"I believe we can maintain a friendly relationship."

Chen Guozhong's mockery intensified:

"strength?"

"You think you're qualified to talk to me about strength?"

James' face turned red:
"Ah Zhong, are you insulting me?"

"No, I'm just telling the truth," Chen Guozhong said calmly. "You should be able to handle my three phone calls first."

He actually took out his phone and dialed the number.

James chuckled and asked, "Who are you calling?"

"Nobody else," Chen Guozhong said calmly. "Just the Security Bureau!"

James stopped laughing and looked at Chen Guozhong in disbelief.

He thought of many people.

For example, Chen Xinjian, General Manager Huang, or even the top leader.

But he never expected it to be the security bureau.

"Are you kidding me?" James chuckled dryly.

However, the call was answered almost instantly.

Chen Guozhong pressed the speakerphone button and openly answered the phone in front of James.

A pleasant sound came from the other side.

“Dear Chen, you actually called me? I told you there were magpies chirping outside my window early this morning.”

Cold sweat broke out on James's face.

He recognized the voice. It was definitely from the security bureau!

However, in his memory, when had the Security Bureau ever been so lenient?

Do not!
This can't be called gentleness, it's downright flattery!
Why does the Security Bureau show such respect to Chen Guozhong?
"Paul, when would you like to have dinner together?" Chen Guozhong extended an invitation.

The security bureau was overjoyed: "I can come anytime."

"Chen, congratulations on solving another major case."

"As expected of our police station's ace officer."

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"You got the news so quickly?"

The security bureau lamented:
"Of course, of course."

“I received the report last night that Cao Ya of the Sihai Group was attacked and the poor guy was riddled with bullets.”

"Many wealthy individuals have vaguely expressed their concerns about security to me."

"I comforted them and told them to trust our officers."

"Just as I expected, you resolved the matter in less than 24 hours."

"I'll suggest that the top leader give you a medal."

Chen Guozhong asked with a grin:

"Did I do something?"

The Security Bureau responded without hesitation:
"Of course, I used to be a policeman, and I know how exhausting it is to solve such a serious case in a short period of time."

"Amazing, Ah Zhong!"

Chen Guozhong said slowly:

"But now some bastard is trying to steal my peaches. Not only is he trying to steal my peaches, but he's also trying to make me break my promise."

The Security Bureau was furious:
"Which bastard would dare to do this?"

"This is not only going to ruin your reputation, but also to slap me in the face."

"If I let this guy get away with it, where will I put my face?"

Please tell me his name.

Chen Guozhong gestured with his chin towards James, who was covered in sweat:
"Come on, James, Paul wants to call you."

James was completely numb.

He really didn't expect Chen Guozhong to be so familiar with the Security Bureau. Why wasn't this information in the Political Department's records?
This really puts us in a dilemma.

James was unaware that the Political Department's information was correct.

Just ten days ago, Chen Guozhong did not know the Security Bureau.

I really don't know them!

However, when the news of his rise to become a new generation tycoon reached everyone, both the police station and the governor's mansion were overjoyed.

It's understandable that the police officer was excited; after all, having such a tycoon as a colleague was a source of pride.

The Duchess's House was excited because they were also facing considerable pressure.

The fact that so many foreign firms in Hong Kong wanted to flee back to Chongqing put immense pressure on these foreigners—what the hell do you mean? Are you so pessimistic about Hong Kong's future? Are you trying to ruin our careers?

Chen Guozhong's appearance gave these bureaucrats a lot to make a fuss about.

Foreigners don't have a positive outlook on Hong Kong, right?
Look at this newly emerging Chinese tycoon; how determined he is in his commitment to Hong Kong!

Not only did he stay in Hong Kong, he even joined the Governor's Mansion!

The police station is an agency under the Security Bureau, one of the three departments and thirteen bureaus of the Governor's Mansion!
As for Chen Guozhong's status as a billionaire, that's not a problem at all.

In the Western world, there are many billionaires who go into politics.

He's just a lowly policeman, but he's the first one!
But it's nothing serious.

Just a rich person's quirk!
The security bureau was furious:
"James, tell me, why did you take Chen Tai away?"

"Could it be that you are Chen Tai's protector?"

"Could it be that you made some kind of deal with Chen Tai?"

"Are you trying to destabilize Hong Kong?"

"Or do you want to damage Hong Kong's economy?"

"Should I call Mrs. Daughter of the Fog City?"

James was stunned!
Where did Paul learn his skills?

Which of these hats could he possibly wear?

That's some seriously skillful stuffing a rag into someone's mouth!
That's ridiculous!

"Paul, this is a misunderstanding!"

The security bureau announced loudly:
"James, you'd better behave yourself during work hours!"

￥#@%&
James almost fainted from anger. "You're asking me to take on a position now?"

What a load of rubbish!

There's no way around it; among all the languages ​​in the world, swear words are the most widely used.

James is quick to accept profanity.

Right now, he was mentally cursing the security bureau in several languages.

"Now, you apologize to Superintendent Chen, or I will submit a report to Mrs. Dazel."

"Chen, it seems we'll have to meet another day."

"Sorry, that idiot James ruined your mood."

Chen Guozhong hung up the phone with a smile.

James's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"You don't think that just because it's Paul, you can control me, do you?"

Chen Guozhong looked at him strangely:
"How did you become a telecommunications agent with a memory like that?"

James's face darkened further.

"Didn't I tell you? If you've got the guts, then hold out until I finish making three phone calls."

"The Security Bureau is just the first one."

James said irritably:
"I admit you have a vast network of connections."

Who can you call?

"Brother One? Boss Huang?"

"Don't worry, those two won't work on me!"

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"Brother Yi and Boss Huang are my friends, after all. There's no need to involve my friends in our dispute."

James's lips twitched. That foreigner, Iguodala, was actually Chen Guozhong's friend too!

He certainly understood why the top brother would become Chen Guozhong's friend.

Who wouldn't want a friend like that?!

He wanted it too.

James sneered:

"Besides these two, who else can you contact?"

Chen Guozhong calmly said:

"You need to broaden your horizons."

"Connections are equivalent to power."

"Besides the police station, I have no other friends?"

James gritted his teeth:
"So, who is your next friend?"

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"Actually, he's not anyone special, just a mere governor."

After saying that, he was about to make a phone call.

James almost died laughing. A mere warlord? I'm not afraid of him...

What the hell!

The Governor?!
James scrambled over to Chen Guozhong and grabbed his hand:

"Ah Zhong, don't go this far, will you?"

Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"We're supposed to be civilized people, gentlemen, can't we at least show some manners?"

James shouted:

"To hell with being a gentleman! Are you trying to stab me in the heart? And you call that gentlemanly behavior?"

Chen Guozhong calmly said:

"A gentleman is one who kills without shedding blood."

"I didn't use the knife, so why can't I be a gentleman?"

James's face changed in an instant:
"Ah Zhong, we are friends!"

"Have you forgotten that we fought side by side?"

"You even saved my life!"

Snapped!
Chen Guozhong then delivered a powerful backhand punch to James.

He stood up, put his hands on his hips, and started yelling.
"So you fucking know I saved you?"

"Tell me yourself how many times I've saved you?"

"In my hometown, what would we call this kind of behavior?"

"ungrateful!"

"You've been in Hong Kong for so long, don't you know the working style of us?"

"Dare to pick my peaches?"

James was stunned. How dare he hit me?

However, since the other party could call the Governor whenever they wanted, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with them calling him as well.

He could tolerate everything else, but there was one thing he simply couldn't tolerate.

James was deeply aggrieved:
"Ah Zhong, you've misunderstood."

"I'm not taking advantage of you."

Chen Guozhong said coldly:

"If they're not taking my credit, then they're taking credit from my subordinates."

"If I can't even protect my subordinates, what right do I have to be their leader?"

James sat down, covering his face with a pitiful expression.

Chen Guozhong was furious:
"Who the hell told you to sit down?"

"Stand up!"

James stood up reflexively, but as soon as he did, he realized something was wrong and cautiously asked:

"Ah Zhong, how dare you treat me like this?"

Chen Guozhong sneered:
"James, it seems you've been in Hong Kong for too long and have forgotten the rules of conduct in the Western world."

"But it's alright, let me remind you."

"The West is not the West of losers like you, it's the West of the rich."

"And I happen to be a rich person!"

"Let me tell you, if it weren't for that action you took earlier, you would have been completely ruined after making those three phone calls."

"Do not believe?"

James chickened out. Only then did he realize the pressure Chen Guozhong was putting on him—no, the pressure from that damn rich man.

But to say he was truly convinced is hard to believe.

Chen Guozhong said indifferently:

“I’ve prepared three phone numbers for you: one is the Security Bureau, another is the Duty Officer, and the third is The Daily Telegraph.”

James' eyes widened suddenly:

"The Daily Telegraph? The one from Chongqing?"

Chen Guozhong mocked:

Which one do you think it is?

"You even told me to talk to you based on my strength and status?"

"Do you even deserve it?!"
