Chen Dong transmigrated to 1980s Hong Kong, becoming the right-hand man of Bosco, the head of the Tuen Mun branch of the Hung Mun. He activated the 'Good Deeds Exchange System'.
As an...
Raymond asked in surprise, "Is it really that amazing?"
Li Wenbin said, "Absolutely true. If he didn't have this ability, even if he had ten lives, the Americans would have killed him."
Raymond pondered for a moment and said, "Assassination won't work, so we'll have to do it openly. At least half of the West District Police Department is our people. With strict protection, they still won't be able to succeed."
Li Wenbin said, "I can't figure out what method they would use to deal with A-Dong in a short time. How about this, I'll give him a call and explain the situation. That guy is extremely smart; he might be able to guess their plan."
Raymond nodded and said, "Then go ahead and hit him."
Li Wenbin picked up the phone on Raymond's desk and called Shen Dong directly.
Seeing that Li Wenbin dialed Shen Dong's number without even looking at the phone book, one could tell that his relationship with Shen Dong was unusual.
"Hello, this is Shen Dong. Who is this?"
Shen Dong's voice came over.
Li Wenbin turned on speakerphone and said, "Ah Dong, this is Li Wenbin, in the office of Raymond, the Commissioner of the Central Police Station. Now we can both hear you."
Shen Dong said, "Officer Li, Chief Lei, hello. What instructions do you two officers have?"
Li Wenbin said, "We wouldn't dare to instruct you, the richest man in Hong Kong, no, you should be the richest man in the world now. The main thing is that we have a very important question to ask you. Have you offended the Americans again recently?"
Shen Dong was silent for a moment, then said, "I bought some weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union, which made the Americans very nervous. This morning, the Hong Kong Consul General, Mike, even came to my office specifically to talk to me about this, saying that I should cancel the arms purchase. Damn it, I've already signed the contract, how can I cancel it?"
Li Wenbin asked curiously, "What kind of weapons and equipment did you buy?"
Shen Dong said, "We only bought two destroyers, twenty fighter jets, and twenty bombers. We didn't buy anything else."
"puff"
Raymond, who had just put down his teacup, spat out the tea in his mouth, completely dumbfounded.
Li Wenbin also looked completely stunned.
And you haven't bought anything yet?
If you buy more, you'll have to buy nuclear bombs.
Li Wenbin said with a wry smile, "Ah Dong, you're getting more and more outrageous."
Shen Dong said, "If Tenglong Mercenaries want to expand, they need the best weapons and equipment. Northern Soviet Union is facing economic difficulties but has no shortage of weapons, which complements our strategy. Anyway, let's not talk about this anymore. How are the Americans planning to deal with me?"
Li Wenbin said, "Let Director Lei tell you. He's now in charge of arresting you."
Raymond explained how he obtained the mission and his doubts, then asked, "Mr. Shen, what do you think?"
After pondering for a moment, Shen Dong said, "First of all, one thing is certain: the Americans have decided to deal with me. Otherwise, the director of the Security Bureau wouldn't personally issue an order for such a trivial matter."
"Secondly, that stupid woman Hu Yali must have some dirt on her that the Americans have fallen into their hands. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered to fight this lawsuit with me, which she's bound to lose. You know, I spent five billion US dollars to buy her property. If I had coerced her, why would I have wasted this money?"
Li Wenbin and Raymond exchanged a glance, scoffing at Shen Dong's words.
Unless she was coerced or threatened, Hu Yali would have to be insane to sell you a property worth tens of billions of US dollars for only five billion US dollars, and even agree to pay off the remaining three and a half billion US dollars over several decades.
"Third, they made me stay in the police station for 48 hours, which means that within those 48 hours, they have a way to kill me. Everyone knows that the mainland faction has the upper hand in the police station. With your protection and my ability to predict danger, there is no way anyone can harm me. Since they still insist on doing this, there is only one way left."
Li Wenbin and Raymond asked in unison, "What method?"
Shen Dong said, "Kill me and all of you together."
Raymond's eyes widened in astonishment. "How is this possible?" he exclaimed.
Shen Dong retorted, "Why not? The Americans suspect that my arms purchases are closely related to the domestic army, so they can no longer tolerate my existence. There are American troops stationed on Hong Kong Island; a few missiles would be enough to raze the Sai Wan or Central Police Stations to the ground. After I die, the American government can define this incident as a terrorist attack, find a few of my enemies as scapegoats, and then hold a memorial service, and everything will be over."
Although it seemed far-fetched, upon closer analysis, Raymond and Li Wenbin realized that this conjecture was not entirely impossible.
Using the lives of an entire police station and more than twenty officers on night duty to take down Shen Dong is a price the Americans can absolutely afford.
Li Wenbin asked, "Ah Dong, what are you planning to do?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "It's too conspicuous during the day. If the American troops want to make a move, they will definitely choose nighttime. What I mean is that you arrest me and then secretly release me. It would be best if nothing happens at night. If something does happen, then it means my guess was correct. At that time, I won't be polite."
Raymond said, "Alright. Mr. Shen, I'll take some men to arrest you right now."
Shen Dong said, "No problem."
After hanging up the phone, Raymond asked, "Inspector Lee, what do you think?"
Li Wenbin said, "That's possible."
Raymond said, "I still can't quite believe it."
Li Wenbin said, "Adong's arms purchase this time has breached the defenses of the United States. Their garrison only has a little over 10,000 troops, while Adong's Tenglong mercenaries have more than 20,000, with far more advanced weapons, and they also have inland support. If you were in their shoes, could you handle it?"
Raymond nodded and said, "That's true. Inspector Li, do you really think this batch of weapons will be handed over to the Tenglong Mercenaries?"
Li Wenbin raised an eyebrow, revealing a meaningful smile, and said, "If we can all guess this, how could the US not? This is why the US is so determined to take action against Adong. Hehe, if we make a few more arms purchases, our Xia country can become the number one military power in Asia."
Raymond scoffed, "The United States is already in decline. Regardless of whether they have these weapons inland, they lack the resources to contend with the mainland. Even if they kill Mr. Shen, what good will it do?"
Li Wenbin laughed and said, "Have you forgotten? The US's godfather is the US."
Raymond slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about him."
Li Wenbin said, "Alright, get back to work. I also need to report this matter to my superiors."
