Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1333 He spouts righteousness and morality, but behind the scenes he's a complete thief

Limpy Hao plopped down on the ground, still unable to believe he had lost anything, except that Da Bao no longer looked at him directly.

Da Bao looked at Ni Kun and suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent chills down Ni Kun's spine.

Da Bao said slowly while laughing.

"After killing Lei Luo, have you chosen anyone to succeed him?"

Ni Kun looked at Da Bao, not daring to take the bait. If he did, it would prove that he had hired an assassin to kill Lei Luo.

"I've heard your name for a long time, Ni Kun of the Chaozhou Gang, and Lian Sheng. In my memory, you were a man who was eight feet tall and whose fists could run a horse. Who knew you would look like a pale-faced scholar."

However, this is quite similar to your style of doing things—ruthless and vicious. That's how scholars are; they talk a lot about propriety and morality, but in reality, they do all sorts of thievery and prostitution.

Assassinating Lei Luo isn't something your Chaozhou gang alone can handle. It requires the coordination of many people from top to bottom. You've considered every detail, big or small, but you've overlooked one thing: me, Lei Luo's elder brother."

Da Bao yelled and brought him in.

The door opened, and Xiao Dao walked in with one hand behind his back and the other hand carrying a person. His cold gaze swept over the gang leaders behind the iron bars, and these people couldn't help but shiver.

Xiao Dao gently placed the person at Da Bao's feet, then bowed his head and stood respectfully beside Da Bao.

When Ni Kun saw the person at Da Bao's feet, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body, and he screamed.

"Ah Chen!"

Da Bao tilted his head, and with a flick of his wrist, a gleaming dagger appeared in his hand. He forcefully plunged the dagger into Han Chen's shoulder. Han Chen could no longer pretend to be unconscious; he let out a howl and sat up.

Xiao Dao had already drawn his short sword and gently placed it against Han Chen's neck, saying in a sinister tone.

"Don't move. If you move even a little, I guarantee you'll be able to see your back."

To others, it was just a scare tactic, but Han Chen trembled and dared not move again.

Da Bao said leisurely.

"The two assassins were of Asian descent, but their exposed skin proved that they had lived in tropical regions for many years, which means they could only have come from the Thai-Myanmar border region."

So I asked someone to retrieve the customs entry and exit documents and found these two people, Chachai and Suwang. You can see how common these two names are; they sound fake.

So I ordered people to keep an eye out. Han Chen, aren't you clever? You actually thought of using a yacht to send someone to Macau. It was truly undetectable; nobody would have thought of it.

You're stupid, aren't you? Don't you know that Haojiang is my territory? In Haojiang, even the Portuguese governor has to kowtow to me and call me "Master." Do you think there's anything that can be kept from me?

The reason you went to Thailand with those two assassins to hide for a while is because you saw that I had already arrived at Lei Luo's funeral, and then you got scared and wanted to go to Thailand to avoid trouble and come back after things calmed down.

But to my surprise, my men had been waiting for you for a long time as soon as you boarded the ship.

"So, Ah Chen, give me a straight answer, whether you want to live or die."

Han Chen answered crisply and decisively.

"Want to live!"

Dabao nodded with satisfaction.

"Who was the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Lei Luo? Who were the accomplices? Was the one who wanted to replace A Luo Lan Jiang?"

"The mastermind is Brother Kun, Ni Kun. He doesn't want to be controlled by anyone. He believes that in the underworld, the strong prey on the weak. What's the point of rules? Territory is won back by force. Whoever has the biggest fist calls the shots."

Unlike now, we have to swallow our anger and have to watch Lei Luo's face.

The accomplice was Chief Superintendent Godber, who knew everything that had happened, including the gun and the motorcycle.

The two Thai assassins were introduced to me by a friend.

After killing Reno, Gerber will step in and promote Detective Blue River to head of the Criminal Investigation Department…

Da Bao turned his head to look at Chief Superintendent Godber, who was trembling.

"Ge Bo, do you really have that much power? You can't just promote whoever you want. Well then, how about this: you promote me, and what do you want? Money, real estate, jewelry—I can give you anything, how about it?"

Ge Bai's legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud. Da Bao's head lolled to the side, and two uniformed policemen rushed forward to support him.

Ni Kun’s biggest hope now is Ge Bai, he shouted desperately.

"Sir, what are you afraid of? You're the Chief Superintendent. The only person who can remove you and arrest you is the Secretary for Security. Even the Commissioner of Police doesn't have the authority to dismiss you. Han Chen is a liar. Order him to be arrested right now, hurry up!"

Da Bao smiled as he looked at Ni Kun, then at Jiang Xiang'an. He reached out, and his secretary immediately took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to him with both hands. Then he called out and brought the person in.

Immediately afterwards, the door opened, revealing Chief Inspector Lan Jiang, Chen Xijiu, and several uniformed officers escorting Yan Tong, who was handcuffed, and Sha Biao. Upon seeing Da Bao, Chen Xijiu happily called out, "Young Master Qin!"

Da Bao scratched his head; his face blindness had flared up again. How could he remember these insignificant people, people he had only met once or twice?

Piggy leaned closer and whispered a few words in his ear, and Da Bao then remembered who he was.

"Chen Xi Jiu, right? I heard you claimed to be my subordinate, but I don't remember you. Just now, Ah Zai told me that it was because you claimed to be my subordinate that Ah Luo promoted you to Chief Detective."

Since you claim to be my disciple, then you and A'Luo should be fellow disciples. Why did you only offer incense at A'Luo's memorial altar and leave? Can you explain this to me?

Chen Xijiu immediately knelt down, tears streaming down his face, and said repeatedly.

"Young Master, I was wrong. When Director Lei was being coerced by Yan Tong, I stood up for him because you gave a clear indication. As his disciple, of course I listened to you."

The circumstances surrounding Director Lei's assassination are incredibly complex, beyond my comprehension and understanding. Therefore, I can only offer incense and refrain from uttering a single word, for I do not know your thoughts.

"Young Master, you have shown me a life-saving grace. Although I, Chen Xijiu, am clumsy, I am loyal. You can investigate; I have never contacted any foreigner behind your back, because I know who my master is."

Piggy whispered in Da Bao's ear.

“Young Master, although Chen Xijiu’s abilities are limited, he is a good person. He has never dined or dashed when he goes to restaurants. He is very proper in his conduct. This time, he was the only one who offered incense to Brother Luo. I guess he didn’t express his opinion because his wife is Rose, and Brother Luo has not had much contact with him. So I think what he said was sincere.”
