Chapter 309 A Tough Opponent
Fang Lanxin came out of the club with a rather unpleasant expression.
He Shao was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
Before getting on the bus, she called Guan Jingshen.
"Jing Shen, I need your help."
"What kind of help?"
"Help me find out all of He Shao's recent movements," Fang Lanxin said, "especially the source of his funds."
"Five hundred million is not a small amount; the He family cannot come up with that much cash."
"He must have other connections."
Guan Jingshen remained silent for a few seconds.
"I'll have Ah Kun handle it."
"Thanks."
"Lanxin, be careful," Guan Jingshen said. "The He family is no pushover."
"I know."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Lanxin drove back to the Huo family's business.
Kenneth Fok was still in his office.
He immediately stood up when he saw his mother return.
"Mom, how are you?"
“Young Master He admitted it.” Fang Lanxin sat down. “He came here specifically for the new district project.”
Kenneth Fok clenched his fist.
"This Young Master He has gone too far!"
"Qibang, don't be impulsive," Fang Lanxin said. "Now is not the time to be angry."
"We need to find a way to take back the initiative."
"But Mom, what about the government..."
“I’ll handle things with the government,” Fang Lanxin interrupted him. “What you need to do now is to keep the morale of the company stable.”
"The news that the new district project has been suspended must not be spread."
"Otherwise, the stock price will be affected."
Kenneth Fok nodded.
"I see."
Fang Lanxin looked at her son.
Kenneth Fok has grown a lot during this period.
At least when something happens, they know to stabilize the situation first.
"Qibang, go ahead and get busy," Fang Lanxin said. "I need to meet with a few people."
"good."
After Huo Qibang left, Fang Lanxin took out her phone.
She called an old friend.
"Director Zhou, it's me, Fang Lanxin."
"Ms. Fang, it's been a long time."
A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Director Zhou is the Deputy Commissioner of the Hong Kong City Police Station.
In her previous life, Fang Lanxin had collaborated with him several times.
In this life, she also deliberately maintained this relationship.
"Director Zhou, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
"What kind of help?"
“Someone’s been targeting me lately,” Fang Lanxin said. “I suspect he’s up to no good.”
You want me to investigate him?
“Not only that,” Fang Lanxin said. “I want you to send someone to keep an eye on him.”
"If he really has a problem, arrest him."
Director Zhou remained silent.
"Ms. Fang, are you aware of the risks involved in doing this?"
“I know,” Fang Lanxin said, “but Director Zhou, I won’t let you help me for nothing.”
"The Huo family has a project overseas and they happen to be looking for a partner."
"If Director Zhou is interested, I can help you make the connection."
Director Zhou smiled.
"Ms. Fang is indeed straightforward."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
"Send me that person's information, and I'll have someone keep an eye on him."
"Thank you, Director Zhou."
"You're too kind."
Fang Lanxin breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
He Shao thought that he could win by ruining the new district project.
He's oversimplifying things.
Fang Lanxin took out her notebook and began writing a plan.
In his previous life, Young Master He was arrested for smuggling.
His project overseas was actually a front.
The real purpose is money laundering.
As long as we can find something to hold against Young Master He, the problems with the new district project will naturally be solved.

Three days later.
Ah Kun found out the source of He Shao's funds.
"Master Guan, we've found out," Ah Kun said. "Young Master He's money was transferred from Southeast Asia."
Guan Jingshen frowned. "What business does he have over there in Southeast Asia?"
“Casinos,” Ah Kun said. “Young Master He owns several underground casinos over there.”
"I've made a lot of money in the past few years."
Guan Jingshen's eyes turned cold.
"Underground casinos are illegal."
“That’s right,” Ah Kun said. “And, Master Guan, I also found out that many wealthy people from Hong Kong go to He Shao’s casino to gamble.”
"Several people owe Young Master He a considerable amount of money."
"Young Master He used this to threaten them and get them to do things for him."
Guan Jingshen sneered.
"This young master He is ruthless."
"Lord Guan, should we tell Ms. Fang?"
"Yes," Guan Jingshen said. "Organize the documents and I'll deliver them to her personally."
"yes."
That evening.
Guan Jingshen handed the documents to Fang Lanxin.
After reading it, a cold glint flashed in Fang Lanxin's eyes.
"Young Master He is indeed suspicious."
"Lanxin, what do you plan to do?"
"Give these documents to Director Zhou," Fang Lanxin said. "Let him arrest Young Master He."
Guan Jinshen nodded.
"I'll go with you."
"No need," Fang Lanxin said. "I can handle this myself."
"Jing Shen, just keep an eye on Young Master He for me."
"Don't let him get away."
Guan Jingshen grasped her hand.
"Lanxin, be careful."
"I will."
The next morning.
Fang Lanxin delivered the documents to Director Zhou's office.
After reading it, Director Zhou's expression changed.
"Ms. Fang, these documents are genuine."
“Absolutely true,” Fang Lanxin said. “Director Zhou can send someone to investigate.”
Director Zhou pondered for a while.
"Ms. Fang, are you trying to kill He Shaoyu?"
“He struck first,” Fang Lanxin said. “I was just retaliating.”
Director Zhou smiled.
"Okay, I promise you."
"I will send someone to investigate Young Master He's casino."
"If it's verified, arrest them immediately."
"Thank you, Director Zhou."
"You're welcome," Director Zhou said. "Ms. Fang, you owe me a favor."
"I remember."
Fang Lanxin left the police station and drove back to the Huo family.
Kenneth Fok is in a meeting.
Upon seeing his mother enter, he immediately ended the meeting.
"Mom, there's news!"
“Yes,” Fang Lanxin said, “The police will investigate Young Master He.”
"If all goes well, we should have results within three days."
Kenneth Fok breathed a sigh of relief.
"Very good!"
"Don't be too happy yet," Fang Lanxin said. "Young Master He isn't a fool."
"He will definitely be on guard."
“Mom, then we…”
"Wait," Fang Lanxin said. "Now all we can do is wait."

That evening.
Young Master He received a phone call.
"Young Master He, something terrible has happened!"
A panicked voice came from the other end of the phone.
"The police are investigating your casino!"
Young Master He's expression changed.
When did this happen?
"This afternoon!"
What did they find out?
"We found the accounts, and there's a list of several customers who owe us money!"
Young Master He gripped his phone tightly.
"Transfer all data immediately!"
"It's too late, the police have already shut down the casino."
Damn it!
Young Master He hung up the phone, his face ashen.
He immediately dialed his lawyer's number.
"Attorney Chen, I need your help."
"Young Master He, what happened?"
“The police are investigating me,” He Shao said. “You need to help me find a solution right now.”
"I can't get arrested."
Attorney Chen remained silent.
"Young Master He, if the police have already obtained evidence, there's nothing I can do to help you."
"Then what should I do?"
"Run," Attorney Chen said. "Run before the police come to arrest you."
Young Master He gritted his teeth.
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, He Shao immediately began packing his things.
He was leaving the port city.
But just as I reached the door, there was a knock.
