After Mu Jingheng finished eating his noodles, he pulled Kuang Guangzhi aside to chat.
When he was reborn, he was thinking about resolving his family matters as soon as possible and then making a trip to the south. However, Mu Jinghuai's matter was pressing, so he was still worried about how to resolve it. Later, Xu Mingyang was reinstated to the military, and the place where he served was not far from where Kuang Guangzhi was.
When Mu Jingheng wrote to Xu Mingyang, he mentioned Kuang Guangzhi, hoping that he could take care of him.
Xu Mingyang was a very sensitive person. Not long after he returned to the army, he inquired about Kuang Guangzhi. He felt that Kuang Guangzhi did not need his care at the moment, so he did not take it to heart.
Kuang Guangzhi had been running a human smuggling business for a long time, but it was only recently that he started doing it on a large scale, so Xu Mingyang was unaware of this situation.
Mu Jingheng trusted Xu Mingyang completely, and after entrusting the matter to him, he busied himself with family matters and stopped paying attention to Kuang Guangzhi, which caused the news to be delayed.
However, perhaps many things are predestined. Mu Jingheng never expected that she would chase after her family's mortal enemy all the way to the south, thus meeting Kuang Guangzhi ahead of time.
Mu Jingheng: "Does Lai Laoliu know?"
How could Kuang Guangzhi not know that this was his mortal enemy?
Kwong Kwong-chi used to help people smuggle themselves, but he would do his research on the people he was smuggling. He had a bottom line and would never help criminals smuggle themselves to avoid the country's laws.
Later, his fellow villagers joined him, and their business grew to a considerable scale.
They had all been to Hong Kong before, so they weren't surprised at all that illegal immigrants longed for the city's prosperity.
To provide a one-stop service, Kwong Kwong-chi and his team also set up a reception station on the other side of the strait and established connections in the port city. They would help introduce jobs to people for a certain amount of money, and if the amount was high, they could even help resolve their household registration issues.
However, Kwong Kwong-chi has one rule: he cannot help criminals smuggle themselves across the border.
He, Kwong Kwong-chi, wants to make money, but he will never do anything that is detrimental to the country.
This is why Xu Mingyang and Mu Jingheng both turned a blind eye.
His nemesis, Lai Laoliu, was the complete opposite. As long as there was money to be made, he didn't care who the people he was smuggling. Sometimes he even preferred to smuggle people for them so he could extort more money.
Kuang Guangzhi is a man with a natural sense of justice, and they all disapproved of Lai Laoliu's actions, which led to more and more conflicts over time.
But they're all from the underworld, and their information network is very efficient.
“I’m investigating an economic case. The person not only embezzled heavily, but also sold national information to enemy agents. This person has fled here with his family and is probably trying to smuggle himself into Hong Kong,” Mu Jingheng said.
“I don’t do business with people like that. Everyone in the underworld knows that. You’ve come to the wrong person,” Kuang Guangzhi said with a smile.
Mu Jingheng sighed: "If I'm not mistaken, they've definitely gone to find Lai Laoliu. Do you know where Lai Laoliu's hideout is right now?"
Lai Laoliu's early and later strongholds were in different locations. Mu Jingheng knew about the later stronghold, but he did not know about the early one.
He never mentioned it when he was with Kwong Kwong-chi in his previous life. He probably didn't want to recall the past, so he was reluctant to talk about his past.
Kuang Guangzhi suddenly chuckled, sounding somewhat malicious.
Mu Jingheng raised an eyebrow. He was all too familiar with that expression; Kuang Guangzhi would always smile like that whenever he was about to do something naughty.
Mu Jingheng: "What mischief are you plotting now? You can't let your brother down!"
While Mu Jingheng was questioning Kuang Guangzhi, his companions had already found the criminal's hiding place.
Those chosen by Old Master Jiang were all highly skilled. They followed the trail to a place they never expected—the underground red-light district.
Because of the large and diverse flow of people in coastal areas, smuggling has developed into an industry chain in the past two years. In addition, there are people with documents who can enter and leave the port city normally. The south has already met the prerequisites for becoming a special economic zone.
This gives people like Lai Laoliu the opportunity to do some quick money-making business.
Many of the women in the red-light district are obtained through human traffickers, while some are sold by their parents who favor sons over daughters.
Once these women enter this place, they can forget about getting out.
It's not that no one has ever tried to escape, but so far no one has managed to get away.
These managers are extremely ruthless; they kill people who resist fiercely or who are of no use to them and feed them to the fish.
Some of the colors were of truly superior quality, so they would ship them to the port city to make even more money.
The red-light district that Mu Jingheng's colleagues tracked down was actually Lai Laoliu's hideout, which is why Kuang Guangzhi's smile was malicious.
Kuang Guangzhi thought to himself that Mu Jingheng cared so much about his little wife, and if he knew that Lai Laoliu's hideout was a red-light district, he wondered if he would refuse to go in.
When Mu Jingheng came to find Kuang Guangzhi, he left his address with his colleagues. Before Mu Jingheng could get any information about Lai Laoliu's hideout from Kuang Guangzhi, his colleagues had already arrived.
Mu Jingheng led his men out, but after hearing what his colleague had said, his expression turned sour. He turned back and asked Kuang Guangzhi, "Is Lai Laoliu's hideout in the underground red-light district?"
Kuang Guangzhi didn't say anything, but looked at Mu Jingheng with a smile that was really irritating.
"I'm going to take care of something first. I'll talk to you when I get back. Don't go out by tomorrow night at the latest." Mu Jingheng said and left with his colleague without looking back.
Even after walking quite a distance, you could still hear Kwong Kwong-chi's loud laughter.
Mu Jingheng thought to himself, "Go ahead and laugh, I'll make sure you can't laugh anymore on your wedding day."
When Mu Jingheng and his group stealthily arrived at the underground red-light district, Mu Jingheng's eyes widened. Wasn't this the place he had raided in his previous life?
No wonder Kuang Guangzhi inexplicably set a fire here later. At the time, he was afraid that this would have too much of an impact on Kuang Guangzhi, so he used his power to cover it up and told the outside world that it was an accident caused by a vagrant using fire at night.
He never imagined this would be Lai Laoliu's place.
The years 1978 and 1979 were a crucial period for the rapid economic take-off. The South was actually quite chaotic, so there were many migrant workers. Back then, if someone committed murder or arson, it would be really difficult for the police to investigate, mainly because there were just too many things to manage and a large floating population.
Once we know the person is inside, things will be much easier.
Mu Jingheng immediately sent people to the military to recruit more personnel, but fearing that the news would leak out, he didn't even go to the local public security bureau.
A few people appeared at the back of the red-light district in the middle of the night, and the ambushing men spotted the fugitive's family at a glance.
It's hard to believe that these people, who have been pampered for over twenty years, have lost the high spirits they had in Kyoto. The escape over the past few days has left them quite dejected.
Because they left in a hurry, they didn't have much luggage, but almost everyone was carrying a small suitcase, which Mu Jingheng suspected was full of gold bars.
With these gold bars, they had a chance to turn their lives around after arriving in the port city.
