Two months ago, Ye Fang entrusted Li Huaishan of Yuanshan Trading to secretly purchase special equipment at high prices overseas. Finally, he saw the equipment on Lin Xiangwen's list at a German company. After bargaining, the second-hand equipment was discounted to 5000 million U.S. dollars, with a total value of more than 5000 million, landed in two batches from Hong Kong through Li Huaishan's smuggling channels.

The cost of smuggling the two batches of equipment alone exceeded 5000 million. Ye Fan paid [-] million in advance, and the remaining [-] million was paid in one lump sum after receiving the goods.

This channel in Li Huaishan has been in operation for many years and can be said to be very safe and efficient. However, there was a problem with these two batches of equipment. One batch of equipment was adulterated in a container ship and after forging relevant customs declaration procedures, it was suddenly intercepted by staff of the Trade Investigation Section of the Hong Kong Customs during customs clearance and was eventually detained by the Hong Kong Customs. This batch of goods was worth US$500 million.

The second batch of equipment was smaller in size. Li Huaishan did not go through the customs channel, but used his own channels of Yuanshan Trading Hong Kong Branch. What Li Huaishan didn't expect was that the goods would be seized by the Hong Kong triad organization 14K, demanding HK$5000 million in cash, otherwise the goods would be sank into the sea.

Li Huaishan originally wanted to find a middleman to settle the two matters, but after a lot of effort, he still couldn't get it done. In the end, Li Huaishan had no choice but to inform Ye Fang of the matter.

After hearing this, Ye Fang had no expression on his face and said calmly, "I will arrive in Hong Kong in three days."

After saying that, Ye Fang hung up the phone.

Ye Fang picked up the phone and dialed again.

"To Xiyuan."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

"Su Long, take twenty people to Hong Kong in three days." Ye Fang closed his eyes after saying this.

Su Long agreed, with a smile on his lips, thinking that something must have happened again, and he was excited just thinking about it.

After returning to Xiyuan, Cai Xiaoling was already waiting.

"Ye Fang!" Cai Xiaoling stood up politely when she saw Ye Fang, and Ye Fang motioned for her to sit down and talk.

"The first thing is, I'm going to Hong Kong in three days. Su Long will give you the list later and apply for the Hong Kong and Macau passes. The second thing is to buy a villa in Hong Kong in the next three days, not in the city. The cars are all equipped. The third thing is that Lin's Real Estate has been suspended for a while. You should contact Lin Hongshen to prepare for the resumption of trading. The announcement said that the price has not been negotiated and the reorganization has failed. You can decide the specific wording. After the resumption of trading Let Lao Bi enter the market to support the stock price and take the opportunity to absorb some Lin's Real Estate shares."

Cai Xiaoling habitually took out her notebook and jotted down the key points. After finishing writing down, Cai Xiaoling closed the notebook and asked, "Mr. Ye, when will you be back?"

"Maybe a week, maybe ten days, I can't tell. The equipment I bought for the Lin brothers has been detained in Hong Kong. I have to make a trip."

"Your injury is just fine, otherwise I can go for you."

Ye Fang waved his hand and said, "If you can't solve this matter, just be optimistic about the group. Go ahead."

Cai Xiaoling nodded slightly, turned around and was about to go out when she stopped and said, "Mr. Ye, do you need someone who can speak Cantonese to follow you?"

"This... I think we need one. Do you have someone to choose from?"

"I remember Lan Xin can speak Cantonese."

"Okay, let her follow."

In three days, Cai Xiaoling bought a villa in Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong, worth 5200 million through an agency. This price can buy a building in any first-tier city in the mainland, but it can only buy a villa in Hong Kong. It cannot but be said that every square meter of villas in Hong Kong is built with gold.

The day before leaving the capital, Liu Jianbai's secretary Tang Ji handed a brown paper bag to Ye Fang. After explaining some principles and procedures for its use, Tang Ji left Xiyuan. Before leaving, Ye Fang gave Tang Ji a membership card of the highest level, and Tang Ji accepted it without any politeness. Maybe Tang Ji would never use this card, but it represented an attitude.

Ye Fang returned to the study and opened the brown paper bag with the word "Top Secret" written on it. Inside was a somewhat stupid-looking mobile phone. The instructions for use stated that this mobile phone is a satellite phone that can be used anywhere in the world without any signal restrictions. When you make a call, the call content is encrypted to prevent eavesdropping, and it can be put on standby for a long time.

When Ye Fang saw that the phone had no slot at all, it should be directly solidified into the phone. Putting the phone aside, there were some documents, which were similar to law enforcement procedures. Ye Fang glanced at them and put them aside. Finally, Ye Fang set his sights on a work permit. This red work permit had the solemn party emblem engraved on the surface. When he opened it, in addition to Ye Fang's name and photo, there was also Ye Fang's position.

Ye Fang smiled when he saw the position and said, "Special Commissioner! His reputation is really big. It scares those corrupt officials to death."

Ye Fang took another look at the terms of reference. According to the national civil servant ranking system, the four levels include those below level four. After reporting, they can be directly investigated and dealt with. After the third-level cadres of the administrative system submit the application for approval, the case can be opened and investigated.

According to this authority, Ye Fang has the power to investigate and punish 90.00% of the officials in China. It is really similar to the ancient imperial ministers, who were authorized by the imperial power to kill first and report later!

After collecting the documents, Ye Fang sat quietly on the desk and began to study the documents in the brown paper bag.

The next day, Ye Fang's special plane landed directly at the Hong Kong International Airport, and Ye Fang and his party walked out of the airport in a grand manner. Li Huaishan had already led others waiting at the airport gate. Ye Fang and Li Huaishan didn't exchange too many greetings, and got in the car and went straight to Deep Water Bay. Li Huaishan originally booked a five-star hotel for Ye Fang, but he didn't know that Ye Fang had already bought a villa here before arriving.

Li Huaishan was shocked when he heard that he was going straight to a villa in Deep Water Bay. Although Li Huaishan also has a net worth of hundreds of millions in China, it is unthinkable to spend 5000 million at a time to buy a villa in Deep Water Bay. Even if he has this ability, he still thinks that throwing 5000 million at a time on a house in Hong Kong is really not worth it. With that 5000 million, it is better to do a few more businesses.

At first, he thought that Ye Fang was just pretending, but he never expected that Ye Fang's investment of 5000 million would increase in value to [-] billion in ten years. Many years later, Li Huaishan recalled this experience in Hong Kong with regret.

In the car, Li Huaishan described the specific situation to Ye Fang again. The person who seized this batch of equipment at Hong Kong Customs was Senior Inspector Deng Bingkun of the Trade Investigation Division. The Trade Investigation Division is affiliated to the Trade Control Division of Hong Kong Customs. This division is headed by Ding Chengen, the director of the Division. Responsible.

"What is the name of the Commissioner of Hong Kong Customs?" Ye Fang asked.

"My name is Zeng Junhua. He was newly appointed last year. He is 45 years old this year. He is said to be upright and impartial." Li Huaishan meant that the matter of being seized for smuggling would not be possible at any level. After the equipment was seized, the customs directly detained the person in charge of a company under Li Huaishan. Taken away to assist in the investigation.

In the smuggling trade, Huaishan has set up multiple firewalls to ensure that it will not implicate itself. But if this batch of goods cannot be retrieved, it will not only be Ye Fang's loss, but also Li Huaishan's loss. Li Huaishan will account for the majority of the [-] million loss. Therefore, Li Huaishan is more anxious about this batch of equipment than Ye Fang. Two hundred million may be just a drop in the bucket for Ye Fang, but for Li Huaishan, it means that several months or even half a year will be wasted.

At this time, Li Huaishan could not see any trace of anxiety on Ye Fang's facial expression, but he still asked unhurriedly, "Tell me about the situation at 14K."

Hong Kong 14K originated from the Hongmen organization in Guangdong and Guangxi. The Hongmen organization in Guangdong and Guangxi is also called "Triad". It is the most famous international underworld organization in Hong Kong. In the 70s and 14s, it was the largest triad organization in Hong Kong. 10,000K When the members are long, the number reaches 14+. [-]K, Sun Ngee On, Wo Sing Wo and other triad organizations stand side by side in Hong Kong, forming Hong Kong's underground gang organization.

After the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Hong Kong police jointly launched a large-scale crackdown on triad organizations in Hong Kong, causing heavy losses to triad organizations, including 14K. Later, part of the business of many gang organizations, including 14K, went underground, while other parts of the business were gradually laundered and established their own business groups.

After Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the triad organization further disintegrated and its scale further shrank. The number of employees also increased from hundreds of thousands at its peak to tens of thousands. These people were attached to large and small associations to carry out some illegal and criminal activities. . The extortion and extortion of plucking feathers for some mainland smuggling activities is also one of many illegal businesses, and it is also the one with the lowest risk.

Because smuggling is illegal in the first place, people in these societies are not worried about the victims calling the police. The money extorted ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions. It is relatively rare to blackmail Li Huaishan for 5000 million like this time.

Li Huaishan's supplies were robbed by a society under 14K in Yuen Long. The eldest brother of the society was called Jixiong. He was a gangster and had hundreds of brothers under his command. He operates several nightclubs and karaoke bars in Yuen Long, and also conducts criminal activities such as loan sharking, money laundering, and operating underground casinos. As the largest social organization in Yuen Long, Ji Xiong has four kings under his command. One of them is called Iron Man Tung, known as Tung Ge in the world. He is one of the top ten double-bonus sticks in 14K and his skills are very impressive.

The person who robbed Li Huaishan of the equipment this time was Mi Biao, one of the Four King Kongs of Jixiong. This Mi Biao asked five days later, that is, at 5000 o'clock tonight, to bring [-] million Hong Kong dollars in cash to a private pier in Yuen Long. Pay the money and deliver the goods. Mi Biao decided to take over the big businessman Li Huaishan, and he also bullied him, an upstart from the mainland, who had no foundation in Hong Kong, so he opened his mouth.

"Okay, I understand. From today on, you don't need to come forward. I will call you if anything happens. After I get the equipment, you don't need to transport it back. I will find a channel to transport it back." Ye Fang said.

"This...Mr. Ye...how can I be so embarrassed?" After what happened, Li Huaishan was not sure whether the passage he used to leave the port was safe. When he heard Ye Fang say this, Li Huaishan was the first The response is the issue of shipping costs.

Ye Fang ignored Li Huaishan and continued, "I'll pay you a cent for the shipping cost, don't worry."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Ye." Li Huaishan thanked him quickly.

"You're welcome. I wouldn't be able to find these equipment without you. We will still have opportunities to cooperate in the future." Ye Fang said nonchalantly.

In this way, Li Huaishan sent Ye Fang and others to the door of the villa in Deep Water Bay and left with a lot of gratitude. The mid-level villa that Cai Xiaoling chose is located in Deep Water Bay, with an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, backed by green mountains and facing the sea. There is an outdoor swimming pool in the yard. Following the stone road in the yard, you can go directly to the beach at the foot of the mountain. The scenery is beautiful.

Lan Xin, who followed Ye Fang this time, lived in such a large and luxurious villa for the first time. After the door opened, she shouted and rushed in. Su Long and Leng Chuan took people from Qingtian Security to survey the terrain of the entire villa and prepare to install monitoring equipment. The original business of this luxury villa had no choice but to be transferred due to business failure, and the equipment in the villa is fully equipped. After settling on the villa, Cai Xiaoling specially commissioned a local agency to clean the house and purchase daily necessities, so Ye Fang and more than 20 people could use it directly after entering the villa.

"Brother Ye, this place is so beautiful." Lan Xin came back from a lap in the swimming pool and said excitedly to Ye Fang.

Ye Fang smiled slightly and said, "We will stay here for a while, and you have plenty of time to play." Then he told everyone to take time to rest as they still had things to do in the evening. Ye Fang asked Lan Xin to take several security guards to the bank to withdraw 500 million in cash, and then began to purchase various equipment and daily necessities.

Yuen Long, Ping Tsuen Private Harbor.

"Brother Biao, do you think they can be obedient and just pay?" a young man asked standing next to Mi Biao.

Black King Kong Mibiao was over 1.8 meters tall and weighed three hundred kilograms. He stood like a wall with a body covered in flesh and a long scar on his face. That was when he was slashed by the other party when he was fighting for territory with the big brother Xiong Ge of the club. It was because of this knife that Mi Biao became one of the four great kings and had nearly a hundred subordinates.

"Don't pay?!" Mi Biao snorted, took out a pistol from his arms and played with it, then said, "If you don't pay, kill them, and then throw them directly into the sea."

Today, Mi Biao brought more than 30 boys. Four trucks were filled with stolen equipment and blocked in the middle of Haigang Road. All the boys stood in front of the trucks with machetes and sticks in their hands, waiting for Ye Fang.

Just after ten o'clock, a car drove slowly over and stopped ten meters away from Mi Biao and the others.

Mi Biao saw two men and one woman getting out of the car, led by a young man. Another man and a woman got off the car and stood on the left and right sides. The young woman was holding a password box in her hand.

Ye Fang felt like he was like a drug dealer in Hong Kong movies, paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand. If the goods were not right, the two parties would immediately start fighting.

"Are you sent by Li Huaishan?" asked the boy next to Mi Biao, speaking Hong Kong Pu who was not very fluent.

Ye Fang nodded impatiently, pointed at Mi Biao in the middle and asked, "Are you Brother Biao?"

"What, boy, do you know me?" Mi Biao asked curiously.

Ye Fang shook his head resolutely and said, "I don't know, but the villain usually stands in the middle."

"Stop talking nonsense, have you brought the money?" Mi Biao said angrily.

"I brought it, but I really don't have 5000 million. I brought 50, which is the money to treat the brothers to tea. I hope Brother Biao will be kind to you." Ye Fang turned his head and gestured, and Lan Xin threw the password box in his hand directly passed.

The password box fell out and slid to Mi Biao's feet. Mi Biao raised his foot and stepped on the password box, saying coldly, "The promised 5000 million is 5000 million! Not even a cent less!"

As he said that, Mi Biao took out his pistol, loaded the bullet, walked a few steps forward and came to Ye Fang, put the muzzle of the gun against Ye Fang's forehead, and said coldly, "I'll kill you without money! Then..." Mi Biao squinted at Lan Xin next to him and said with a lewd smile, "Then he took her directly to the nightclub and sold her until she sold for 5000 million!"

"You are looking for death!" Ye Fang looked at Mi Biao and said with a calm expression.

As soon as Ye Fang finished speaking, Lan Xin beside him took out a Japanese-style short-handled sharp knife. A cold light flashed in the night sky. The blade directly cut off Mi Biao's wrist, and the right hand holding the gun flew into the air instantly.

The pistol that came out of his hand was caught by Su Long, and the severed hand drew a graceful arc in mid-air and fell to the ground.

Ye Fang covered his face with his right hand with a look of disgust, and a few drops of blood splashed in the air fell on the back of his hand. Ye Fang took out his handkerchief and wiped it as if no one was around. At this moment, Black Diamond Mi Biao covered his broken wrist and fell to the ground, howling miserably. Dozens of boys in front of the truck saw this and rushed in, waving sticks and long knives in their hands. Come over.

At this time, Lan Xin, who was standing in front of Ye Fang, was holding a pair of swords in a fighting posture, looking coldly at the thugs rushing towards him...
