Chapter 101 Invitation for Tea
Good heavens, before the deal was even finalized, Director Chen made an outrageous demand of five million. This isn't just five million thirty years from now; it would be a huge sum even in Hong Kong.
"What, you think it's too expensive? If you think it's too expensive, then don't do business here."
Song Zhaowen raised an eyebrow.
Then, with a smile, he said, "How could that be? I will definitely do what Director Chen ordered."
"Hey? Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by 'follow my orders'? People who don't know the situation might think you're trying to bribe me. Let me tell you, this money will end up going to charity."
"I understand, I understand!"
He met Song Zhaowen on the way.
Director Chen was finally satisfied: "I admire people with vision who love doing charity the most. I think 300 mu is definitely not enough for you, so I'll approve another 200 mu!" After saying that, he glanced at Li Mei, who was dressed in 0L clothing: "Does this beautiful lady have a boyfriend?"
Hong Kong businessmen are known for their love of money and women, and Director Chen thought this was a girl prepared for him.
Limi felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at.
Fortunately, Song Zhaowen stepped aside and said, "Ha, Director Chen was too embarrassed to ask my girlfriend out. She's not very worldly, so I brought her out to broaden her horizons."
Director Chen shrugged: "Your girlfriend? Forget it then, I don't like playing the role of Cao Cao."
I could see that Director Chen looked a little unhappy.
Song Zhaowen gave Ye Rongtian a wink.
Ye Rongtian whispered to Director Chen, "Director Chen, look ahead."
Following Ye Rongtian's finger.
The window of a Hong Kong-plated Mercedes rolled down, revealing a busty beauty who blew a kiss to Director Chen.
Then the car window was rolled up again.
"Director Chen, she's a model, she's never been in a relationship, and she's most attracted to successful people like you."
What model? She's just a gigolo at Sister Xia's bar. Knowing this guy was greedy and lecherous, how could Song Zhaowen not have made preparations beforehand?
Director Chen's lips curled up slightly, clearly satisfied: "Not bad."
I don't know whether to say the beautiful woman in the car is nice, or that Ye Rongtian's project is good.
"Song Zhaowen, right? Come to my office for tea sometime~"
Just as the exchange here was in full swing.
A convoy of more than a dozen cars approached from a distance and stopped beside Song Zhaowen and his group.
The group exchanged glances. What was going on?
The answer was quickly revealed.
A woman with a commanding presence stepped out of the car and pulled out an identification card from her pocket: "Mr. Song Zhaowen, right? I'm from the Guangdong State Security Bureau!"
A group of people got out of the other cars at the same time, forming a semicircle around the group's exit. Clearly, they were up to no good.
Song Zhaowen hasn't reacted yet.
Director Chen, who was standing next to him, was quite startled!
Startled, he hastily retreated, thinking that his money-for-power deal with the two of them had been caught, but to his surprise, these people completely ignored him.
He only had eyes for Song Zhaowen.
Even when he retreated repeatedly, no one asked him anything.
"Come with me, there's something I need your cooperation on."
Ye Rongtian stepped forward: "Excuse me, I don't know my boss..."
Song Zhaowen pulled Ye Rongtian aside and shook his head at him: "Ah Tian, don't say any more. Since the comrades from the State Council have come to us, we naturally have to cooperate."
In fact, Song Zhaowen was also completely baffled. He had no scandals in mainland China, so why would the National Security Bureau come knocking on his door?
But he knew that as a powerful department, he had better do as the other party said and not do anything that would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
The square-faced man seemed to sense the concerns of the others.
"Don't worry, it's just an invitation for Mr. Chen to come over for tea."
Seeing Song Zhaowen being led into the car, Li Mei anxiously asked Ye Rongtian, "The boss has been taken away, what should we do?"
"Let's go back to Hong Kong first and find Miss Huang Lei. The Huang family has a lot of influence in mainland China. Have her pull some strings; we can't be of much help here!"
Not to mention that Ye Rongtian and Li Mei were completely baffled.
Even Song Zhaowen, who was brought into the car, was completely bewildered.
As for the spirited woman from earlier, Song Zhaowen also figured out her identity as Yang Jiaying. Although she was affiliated with the National Security Bureau, she was actually just a figurehead, and her real identity was the head of the Interpol Narcotics Investigation Department.
This left Song Zhaowen even more confused.
He didn't sell drugs; instead, he helped the Hong Kong police wipe out Hara Aono, a major drug lord of the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan. How did the mainland's anti-drug squad find him?
Section Chief Yang carefully observed Song Zhaowen through the rearview mirror and, seeing that his expression remained calm, silently nodded in approval.
"Mr. Song, we know your identity inside and out. Your identity as a Hong Kong businessman is fake. Your real identity is the leader of the Zhengxing Triad in Hong Kong."
Song Zhaowen frowned: "Sir, your intelligence is very accurate. I haven't done anything wrong, have I? Aren't you afraid of causing a dispute between the two places by arresting me like this?"
"Mr. Song, let me correct you. This is the mainland. There are no superiors here. Everyone is equal. Please call me comrade. Also, I'm not arresting you. On the contrary, there's something else I need Mr. Chen's help with."
"Help? I'm just an ordinary person, sir... isn't Comrade Chen overestimating me?"
Chen Jiaying smiled gently: "No, Mr. Song, you underestimate yourself..."
""
As they spoke, the convoy turned east and west, eventually driving into a training base.
This should be an armed police base.
The strong men chanted slogans and practiced around the playground, appearing quite disciplined. Even after Song Zhaowen and his group got out of the car, no one turned around to look.
"Mr. Song, please come this way!"
Song Zhaowen shrugged and said, "Let them come."
What is meant to be will be; what is meant to be will be.
But when I pushed open the door to the conference room...
"It's you!"
A beautiful woman was already waiting in the office, and she was an acquaintance of Chan Ho-nam's, Inspector Chan Ka-kei of the West Kowloon Regional Crime Bureau. Song Zhaowen instantly understood how the mainland knew so much about his identity and whereabouts. If he wasn't mistaken, it must have been Inspector Chan who leaked the information.
It's just unclear what Inspector Chen's purpose is this time.
"Song Zhaowen, we meet again."
Compared to Song Zhaowen's wariness, Chen Jiaqi was clearly more relaxed. This time, she wasn't wearing a uniform, but rather a simple women's blazer, which accentuated her ample bosom.
"Inspector Chen, I don't want to see you. Every time I see you, it's never a good thing. And what does Inspector Chen have to do this time?" Song Zhaowen said somewhat irritably.
Chen Jiaqi ignored Song Zhaowen's sarcastic remarks.
The two women each sat in a corner of the sofa, scrutinizing Song Zhaowen sitting opposite them with appraising eyes.
Song Zhaowen sat on the hard wooden sofa, facing two women with completely different temperaments but equally capable.
Seeing that Song Zhaowen remained silent for a long time, Yang Jiaying took the initiative to get straight to the point: "Mr. Song, although you are involved in triads, according to the information provided by Inspector Chen and the intelligence we have, your assistance to the Hong Kong police in cracking down on Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi drug lords some time ago proves that you still have a bottom line and are a patriot."
