After staying at the orphanage until 7 p.m., Shen Dong had a hearty dinner with the children in the canteen before heading to the Brilliant Bar.
There were still ten minutes until the agreed time of eight o'clock, and Chen Yongren and Luo Ji had already arrived.
"Brother Dong."
"Brother Dong."
Upon seeing Shen Dong, the two stood up and greeted each other.
Shen Dong gestured for the two to sit down and asked with a smile, "How's work going?"
Chen Yongren said, "There's no problem, it's just that I'm too busy."
Shen Dong said, "Jimmy's clothing factory is expanding, so it's normal to be busy. Ah Ji, are you getting used to working at the Bihu Nightclub? Do you want to change jobs?"
Luo Jidao said, "Could I work for a real estate company? I studied civil engineering on my own before and passed the exam to become a construction engineer, so I can work as a supervisor."
Chen Yongren exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, is this for real?"
Luo Ji was clearly prepared, and immediately showed off his architectural engineer certification.
Shen Dong picked it up, looked at it, and said, "Aji, you really are a hidden talent."
Chen Yongren gave a thumbs up and said, "Impressive."
Luo Jidao said, "I just think it's always good to have more skills."
Shen Dong returned the documents to Luo Ji and said, "Ji, I'm giving you two choices now. One is to go to Tengfei Real Estate Company, and the other is to go back to being a policeman."
Luo Ji's expression changed, and he said, "Brother Dong, are you trying to get rid of me?"
Shen Dong waved his hand and tossed a CD to Luo Ji, saying, "This is the CD I threatened you to burn. I swear to God, I only burned this one. Now I'm giving it back to you, giving you a chance to choose again."
Luo Ji replied without hesitation, "I'll go to Tengfei Real Estate Company. I like my current life."
Shen Dong asked, "No regrets?"
Luo Ji nodded and said, "I don't regret it."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Then you should get rid of the CD."
Luo Ji stood up, bowed to Shen Dong, and said, "Thank you, Brother Dong."
Shen Dong said, "No need to thank me. I was being petty. Using this to threaten you is something I find dishonest."
Just as the three were chatting, Li Wenbin walked in with his two trusted confidants, Lu Qichang and Li Xiu.
Chen Yongren and Luo Ji stood up at the same time, their expressions changing drastically, not understanding why the three police officers had come here.
Shen Dong said, "Li sir, everyone you want to see is here. Speak, what is it?"
Li Wenbin sat down opposite Shen Dong, took out two documents from his briefcase, placed them on the table, and said, "Officer Shen, tell me, how did Inspector Huang get your undercover materials?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Luo Ji also looked like he had seen a ghost.
Is Brother Dong an undercover police officer like himself?
How is that possible?
That's an exaggeration.
Shen Dong picked up the documents, glanced at them, and then tossed them onto the table, smiling slightly. "Li sir, don't joke like that. Do you think Inspector Huang Zhicheng is qualified to be my superior?"
Li Wenbin said, "There's no need to deny it. The official seals on these documents have all gone through a strict process, and they can't be faked outside."
Shen Dong said, "Li Sir, if you came to me today to ask if I'm an undercover agent, then please leave. I can tell you clearly, I am not."
Li Wenbin gave him a deep look and said, "Fine, you can deny it, but what about the two of them?"
Shen Dong spread his hands and said, "I welcome them back to the police station. If there's anything I need in the future, I can ask them for help. If they want to stay at the company, I also welcome them back. Everyone has their own ambitions, and I will never force them."
Chen Yongren and Luo Ji said in unison, "We'll stay."
Li Wenbin said, "Ah Ren, Ah Ji, you two are both talented. As long as you are willing to return to the police force, I guarantee that you will be promoted to senior inspectors within three years."
Chen Yongren said, "Li sir, I've been doing clothing business in the mainland lately. This lifestyle suits me quite well, so I'm sorry, I don't want to go back to the police force."
Luo Jidao: "Me too."
Li Wenbin glanced at the two men, then at Shen Dong, and said with a smile, "Ah Dong, to have two undercover police officers willingly follow you, it seems you're quite good at winning people's hearts."
Shen Dong said, "You can't buy people's hearts, you can only exchange them, heart for heart. Li Sir, I have left Hung Hing and started doing legitimate business. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
Li Wenbin said quietly, "Have you ever seen a legitimate company collect protection money?"
Shen Dong said, "That's the security fee that the major merchants willingly pay to us so they won't be bullied. You know, there are so many triads now. If they don't seek my protection, they'll only be bullied by those triads. Besides, the security fee I collect is less than half of what Hung Hing and other triads charge."
Chen Yongren said, "Brother Dong, it's currently at 25%, based on the order you gave three months ago."
Shen Dong said "Oh," and then added, "Really? I'd forgotten. Officer Li, others charge one hundred, but I charge twenty-five. What more do you want from me?"
Li Wenbin chuckled and said, "You mean we, the police, should thank you?"
Shen Dong said, "If your police force can truly maintain social order and protect the legitimate rights and interests of merchants, then where would there be any protection fees or security fees?"
Li Wenbin snorted and said, "Since you refuse to admit that you are an undercover agent, then forget it. I only hope that you can live up to the four words: obey the law and serve the public."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "I will definitely do it."
After seeing Li Wenbin and the other two off, Shen Dong pulled a bugging device out of his pocket and said with a smile, "See this? This is Li Wenbin. Not only does he have big money, but he can also do some sneaky and dirty things."
Li Wenbin came to question Shen Dong in person, his purpose being to record Shen Dong's confession that he was an undercover police officer.
With his words and that document, it was enough to prove that he was a police officer.
Once this is made public, all the major triads in Hong Kong will go crazy.
Unfortunately, Li Wenbin's plan was well-conceived, but Shen Dong saw through it at a glance.
As he was seeing him off, Shen Dong quietly stole his bugging device.
Chen Yongren couldn't help but ask, "Brother Dong, you're not really an undercover police officer, are you?"
Shen Dong crushed the bugging device and laughed, "I am indeed Huang Zhicheng's undercover agent. I joined his pirate ship when I was seventeen, which is much more senior than yours."
Glug!
Chen Yongren swallowed hard and said incredulously, "I never dreamed that you would be an undercover police officer."
Luo Jidao said, "Brother Dong, you've hidden it much better than we have."
Shen Dong said irritably, "I was young and naive back then, and I was tricked onto the ship by Huang Zhicheng without realizing it. I always thought I was a policeman, but later I found out that my file was not in the police database at all. Later, Huang Zhicheng died, and my identity became a complete secret."
Chen Yongren said, "No wonder you didn't kill us after you learned that Ah Ji and I were policemen, and even gave us important positions. It turns out we're in the same line of work."
