Xing Baohua didn't lose much in this case; it was a break-even situation. At least he got his initial investment back.

When Qi Chu Xing Baohua didn't have a detailed plan, he felt he would lose about half of his investment.

I'm relieved now; overall, I made a profit. A significant one at that, at least I acquired the skills.

It has already been successfully reverse engineered and put into production.

The plan couldn't withstand scrutiny; it had many flaws. As long as the local Japanese soldiers were properly settled and no one reported it, the Japanese authorities wouldn't investigate.

After a few days, the private investigator gave Xing Baohua a photo. It showed a chubby young man, seemingly being interviewed.

Xing Baohua asked in surprise, "Is he up to something?"

“I made some inquiries, and he has an illegal identity. He also knows some people in the Lianyi Gang.” As he spoke, he showed Xing Baohua a few more photos.

The chubby boy and several others were drinking tea, chatting and laughing.

Another photo shows a card game, and next to Little Fatty is Aqing, whom Xing Baohua had met before.

Regardless of whether it was this chubby boy who was behind it, Xing Baohua believed him for the time being.

No, we should believe it.

This chubby boy had his reasons; after all, he had pursued Zou Wenjuan before, though it scared him away. Perhaps that sowed the seeds of future trouble.

The media's attack on Zou Wenjuan further confirms Xing Baohua's initial assessment that someone was using the media to target him.

This also aligns with the strategy of using someone else's strength against them.

Okay! Regardless of whether it's him or not, Xing Baohua will just assume it's him.

Xing Baohua said to the private investigator, "Is there any way to ruin his reputation?"

"This chubby guy is very popular, so dealing with him is a bit difficult. Many big shots are on his side," the private investigator said with a troubled expression.

“I’m paying you to do things, and all you’re doing is telling me whether I can ruin his reputation and make sure he can never recover,” Xing Baohua said.

“Five million Hong Kong dollars,” said Xing, the private investigator.

"make a deal."

Xing Baohua can't go anywhere now, which is really tough. I'm furious about RCU's case-solving ability; such a big case dragged on for so long.

The lawyers should put pressure on Xing Baohua so that he cannot leave the country if they cannot solve the case.

As expected, lawyers are very useful. After applying pressure, Xing Baohua only needed to submit a guarantee deposit to leave the country.

A guarantee of ten million Hong Kong dollars.

The media has started targeting Xing Baohua again, saying the bail demanded by the police is too low. For a tycoon like Xing Baohua, ten million Hong Kong dollars is nothing.

Xing Baohua was so angry that he didn't know whether to leave or stay. Whenever he tried to leave, Xing Baohua would quickly flee as if he were guilty.

Fine, let's wait another week and see just how useless the Royal Canadian Mounted Police really are.

The very next day, while reading the newspaper, I saw that the chubby young actor, a famous actor, was on the front page.

Reading the content, I realized that private investigators don't have any good methods; they use all sorts of underhanded tactics, but they're very effective.

The newspaper headline read that a famous young man was seriously injured in a shootout during a transaction involving contraband.

After I finished reading the newspaper, the private investigator arrived; he was there to collect his fee.

After handing over the check, Xing Baohua asked, "How's that fat guy doing?"

"It's likely he'll need an amputation, and will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair," the private investigator said.

Do you know what the old saying goes?

"Listen attentively"

"If you don't kill the snake, it will only hurt you. Here's another two million; do it well."

"OK!"

The private investigator had just left when Andy Lau arrived.

He held an invitation in his hand, saying that a high-ranking official wanted to invite him for tea.

The invitation list included a 14k camel, a guy surnamed Xiang, and Fatty Hong.

"Andy Lau, it's not that I'm not giving you face, it's just that I'm in dire straits right now! Besides, I don't know any of these people." With that, she handed the invitation back to Andy Lau.

Andy Lau, with his signature smile, said, "Mr. Xing, these people are all well-known in the industry. I know some people are overestimating themselves and trying to cause you trouble. Please forgive their rudeness. If..."

Xing Baohua waved his hand to stop him, saying, "What are you talking about? I hear something nonsensical."
