Chapter 10: More Money!
"Are you going to protect me or not?"
Chen Fan revealed his true intentions and directly forced the emperor to abdicate.
Huang Bingyao pondered for a moment and said, "If you can help me catch that idiot Luo Maosen, I might consider it."
"Give me a few days, and I also need 500,000 yuan for the event."
"What? Five hundred thousand? You think you're my number one boss?"
Huang Bingyao strongly suspected that Chen Fan was extorting money.
Half a million would be better spent robbed!
"Boss, this is a fan investigation, not a street brawl. I'll do it if the money's right, otherwise I can't."
Chen Fan continued to press the issue, saying, "At worst, I'll go to Kowloon City to seize territory and never go to the West Kowloon area again. I heard there's a foreign superintendent in East Kowloon who can protect you even better than you."
"...I will try my best to apply!"
"Then I'll try my best to convince myself to risk my life to help you cover up the truth."
"I'm so unlucky to have run into a bastard like you. The 500,000 will be deposited into your salary card tomorrow. If your information doesn't allow me to catch Luo Maosen, my sworn brother, red-handed, I'll have to pay back double what you took!"
Huang Bingyao ultimately made a compromise.
There was no other way. He had recently heard that Luo Maosen was going to import a batch of goods worth more than three million US dollars. If he could catch him red-handed, it wouldn't be impossible for him to be promoted to senior superintendent.
Three million US dollars is almost thirty million Hong Kong dollars at the current exchange rate.
This amount is enough to shock the entire city of Hong Kong; it's no exaggeration to say that this deal is the largest drug transaction in the past five years.
500,000 for a ticket to become a senior superintendent of police; if it works out, it's definitely worth it!
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan took out a notebook filled with writing from his storage space.
This isn't a diary.
After all, who the hell keeps a diary?
This is filled with the essence of Hong Kong movies he watched in his previous life, including the account password of Guan Caiba, Robinson's 300 million bonds, Zhang Wenyao's US dollars and other start-up capital, as well as key plot points of various movies. It even records historical events that will happen in the future.
Chen Fan was mainly afraid that if he lived in this world for too long, those memories would gradually become blurred.
He flipped through dozens of pages before finding the notes about the film "Tiger on the Beat".
Poisonous Snake Bing seems to have a younger sister who looks a lot like "Jack's" wife, but unfortunately, this beautiful woman ends up helping her brother transport drugs.
No matter how good a woman's figure or how beautiful she is, she won't be included in Chen Fan's mailing list.
It's better to date Tang Xin than her.
Tang Xin in "Twin Dragons" is arguably the easiest woman to win over. All it takes is enough boyfriend power for her to be so excited that she faints and then follows him wholeheartedly.
"Fucheng Irrigation Canal Manufacturing Plant?"
"Damn it, I still need to confirm whether Madonna has been harassed by those two plainclothes officers."
Chen Fanren felt a little numb.
If the storyline hasn't even started yet, then half of the 500,000 will probably be spent on gathering information.
After weighing his options, he picked up the phone and contacted Ahua.
Less than five minutes later, Ahua called back.
"Brother Fan, what's up?"
"Ah Hua raised the flag and said he would go out and recruit people. He wanted to gather a hundred people, but he didn't want fellow gamblers, lechers, or perverts. He wanted people who could fight. He said he would take them to Mong Kok in a couple of days before he planted the flag."
Upon hearing the words "planting the flag," Ahua perked up and exclaimed, "Brother Fan, are you going to go all in?"
"After tonight's big battle, we can probably secure a spot for White Paper Fan. Tonight, Da Yu is going to take down Hong Tai's flag in Kowloon City. Tell the planes to be ready, and have as many people as you can wave the flag. The fee will be one hundred higher than the going rate."
"Understood, I'll arrange it right away."
"Contact the marginalized to find out about a woman named Madonna. This woman has an older brother named Viper Bing. I need information about this person."
Oh, and also call Ah Wu (whose number I helped him with) and tell him to come to Kam Wong Restaurant in Yau Ma Tei at 3 PM. He can get a good deal.
"Brother Fan, do we need to make a reservation at the restaurant?"
"Book a private box using the pseudonym Sylvester Stallone."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Fan flipped through a stack of photos, pulled out the one with the headshot, and put it in his pocket.
The person who contacted the number 'Add Money Bro' was naturally there to attend Big Head Cheng's funeral.
Last night, Hung Tai lost a prince; tonight, Hung Hing will likely lose a big one. It's all normal. When you're in the business, you're bound to have one foot in a police car and the other in a hearse; it's just a matter of time.
After thinking for a moment, he took out another photo of Snake Boy.
Whether one dies or two dies, it's still death. Ah Wu, that bastard, has to be paid whether he does it or not. Maybe if they do it together, they can get a discount. I just don't know if Snake Boy will show up.
This wasn't the first time Chen Fan had asked A Wu for a job; he had previously asked him twice to help him double-cross and eliminate drug dealers.
Brother Jiaqian has an extremely strong reputation and a very firm stance.
He never hesitates to do things when paid, and he never asks for reasons. He would do anything if the money was enough for the Governor of Hong Kong.
Unfortunately, he is obsessed with money and would rather be a mercenary for the gang than work for money. He goes wherever he is needed and cannot recruit anyone because he doesn't want to be tied down.
At noon, Chen Fan prepared a lunch for Ao Ming to help him recover, and they lingered together until the afternoon before Chen Fan left home.
Jinwang Restaurant.
Before Chen Fan could even greet him, A Wu spoke first: "Brother Fan, what business opportunity do you have for me this time?"
"Help me kill two people."
Without further ado, Chen Fan slammed the photos of Da Tou Cheng and She Zai Chao onto the table.
A-Wu glanced at the photo, then put it in his pocket and asked, "Sell your hands and feet or your life?"
"Tonight at the Kowloon City Chicken and Duck Pen, one of them will definitely be there, the other is still unknown. It would be best if you could kill them, if not, chop off their hands and feet. Money is not a problem."
"Prioritize collecting hides; if no hides are collected, then chop off hands and feet?"
"That's right, here's 10,000 yuan as a deposit, and the rest is on me treating you to tea."
"readily!"
Ah Wu, transformed into a money-grubber, started counting the stack of large gold bulls.
Exactly twelve, no more, no less.
"Wait for my good news."
Chen Fan reminded him, "I'll be there tonight too, barring any unforeseen circumstances. You'd better bring more people to infiltrate Hong Tai's camp during the big fight between the two gangs."
"Really?" A-Wu asked, frowning.
"Is planting a flag for real or fake?"
"Going all out in a shootout is too risky. I need to call in a lot of helpers. More money!" A-Wu poked Chen Fan's chest. "Two lives, 40,000. We're old acquaintances, so I'll give you a discount: 38,000."
"no problem."
Buying two lives from someone else for 38,000 is a good deal.
Once Da Tou Cheng and She Zai Chao are dead, Da Yu will be without his right and left arms, making it much easier for Chen Fan to plan for the position of the other side's leader.
For the sake of 38,000 yuan, A-Wu didn't even eat his meal and hurriedly left the private room to call for more people.
Seeing this, Chen Fan returned to the bar.
"Brother Fan just got word from an outsider that Madonna, who works as a yoga instructor at a yoga center in Kowloon City, seems to be in big trouble lately. She's being held captive by two plainclothes officers. I heard her boss swindled a batch of goods from Luo Maosen."
"I understand. Tell the outsiders to keep a close eye on Viper Bing's movements."
Chen Fan knew that the plot of "Tiger on the Beat" was already underway, and Luo Maosen's recent deal seemed to not start until the end of the month.
He has at least a week to prepare for this double-cross operation.
How many people have you recruited so far?
"More than seventy of them came after hearing that you, Brother Fan, stood up for Fly last night, led people to smash up Hongtai's nightclub, and knocked Wei Jixiang out of shape with one punch."
"Make them prepare; tonight is their first battle against me."
