Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat

Chapter 693 The Conspiracy of the Political Department

Yao Mu had some vague speculations about the purpose of the Political Department in supporting those unscrupulous businessmen behind the scenes. The most important thing must be to use these fake and shoddy products to consume the mainland's already scarce foreign exchange and funds.

 At the same time, it also gave them a bad impression of the quality of products smuggled in the port city in the past, so they took the initiative to reduce the purchase of goods from the port city.

 But according to Yao Mu's inner thoughts, he felt that these guys from the Political Department had no intention of profiting from it.

 But even if he guessed this, he would not directly confess his thoughts to John Zeng. After all, the relationship between the two was far from that close.

John Zeng also knew very well that Yao Mu would never fail to guess the purpose behind the British, and everyone tacitly refused to reveal it.

“I don’t know what the British think. I came here today specifically to tell you a piece of news that I overheard. I feel it may be useful to you.”

The way Yao Mu looked at John Zeng was even weirder now. Although he was sure that John Zeng had no ill intentions toward him, he still couldn't figure out what the purpose of John Zeng's revelation to him was.

However, he is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things. Since John Tsang is willing to take such a huge risk and share the news he heard from the Hong Kong Governor's Office with him, he must accept the other party's favor.

 “Oh! I wonder what news you heard?”

John Zeng didn’t care about Yao Mu’s strange eyes, he just smiled and continued:

“Mr. Thomas teamed up with this black-hearted businessman and planned to package all the contraband goods seized by the police and hand them over to this black-hearted businessman for smuggling.”

Hearing this, Yao Mu couldn't help frowning and cursed directly:

“What do these people want to do when they attack the streets? Aren’t they afraid that the Americans will find out and cause trouble for them?”

 In fact, Yao Mu knew very well that the Americans would never know anything about their behavior. Perhaps this was a common conspiracy between the United States and Britain, but at this time he had to pretend to be angry about it.

“It’s hard to say whether the Americans will cause trouble for them. I mainly feel that it will make your early actions meaningless.”

Yao Mu thought for a while and then slowly said:

“Tell me, if I provide the Americans with the information that a black-hearted businessman has a large amount of war supplies ready to be smuggled to the mainland, will they take action?”

Hearing this, John Zeng quickly shook his head.

"Brother Mu, please don't mess around. How can you be sure that the Americans are not involved? When MI5 finds out that it was you who revealed the information to the Americans, you will be finished."

 In the final analysis, Hong Kong City is still the territory of the British. They will never allow their subordinates to cooperate with the US intelligence agencies. This is an act of treason no matter where you look at it.

 That’s why John Zeng wanted to stop Yao Mu’s idea.

 In fact, the reason why Yao Mu thought of telling the Americans was because he considered Universal Group's American background. Notifying the American CIA through Universal Group's channels would not get him into trouble.

 But he quickly thought that although Universal Group was not involved in the smuggling operations to the mainland, it was definitely not uninvolved at all. Otherwise, the order he received would not have been to crack down on those unscrupulous businessmen.

Hence, he quickly overturned his idea of ​​reporting to the U.S. intelligence agency.

 “Then what do you think I should do?”

　　After hearing what John Zeng said, Yao Mu was a little upset.

 The reason why he said this was because he sensed John Zeng's attitude from John Zeng's words. Now it seems that John Zeng must be on the same stand as him. He just didn’t know what the other party’s purpose was, so as soon as he thought about it, he wanted to test John Zeng.

Looking at Yao Mu's performance, John Zeng smiled slightly. He didn't mind the other party's probing, but shook his head directly and said:

“I don’t know what to do. I just heard this information and thought it might be useful to you, so I came here to inform you.”

Hearing this, Yao Mu knew that John Zeng had seen through his temptation, and he could only smile bitterly and said:

"We are all brothers. Since you are willing to take such a big risk and tell me this information, I will absolutely believe you, so I am asking for your opinion. Please don't think too much about it."

John Zeng was noncommittal about this.

“Brother Mu, actually I think this matter is not a problem for you. On the contrary, this is a greater achievement waving to you.”

As soon as he heard this, Yao Mu understood what John Zeng meant.

"You mean to ask me to pretend that I don't know anything and kill this guy directly? But didn't you say that the Political Department was involved? When we were about to take action, the superiors ordered us to stop. That's not for nothing. A lot of work.”

“Hehe... Isn’t Brother Mu familiar with this kind of thing?”

At this moment, Yao Mu still doesn’t understand what John Zeng is thinking. It has to be said that this trick is indeed very useful, but it also carries huge risks. If not, he might be targeted by the Political Department.

 Speaking of which, I didn’t know what the Political Department was, so forget it. But now that he knew they were subordinates of MI5, he didn't dare to ignore each other.

However, an old Jianghu like Yao Mu quickly thought of a way to solve it.

“I know what to do, John, please tell me who this businessman is?”

Seeing Yao Mu's thoughtful expression, John Zeng knew that he had achieved his goal today. However, he could not just tell Yao Mu the news for free. This would arouse Yao Mu's suspicion and be very detrimental to his latent work. .

 So, he did not answer Yao Mu's question, but glanced at Yao Mu with a half-smile, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then said unhurriedly:

"Brother Mu, you also know that my current salary in the Hong Kong Governor's Office is far less than that of the British guys, and I can't make a fortune with Brother Mu. Recently, due to the blockade, prices have increased a lot. It's hard for me! "

This is the second time today that John Zeng mentioned that his salary is low. If Yao Mu still couldn't understand what he meant, he would have lived in a dog's belly for so many years.

 At the same time, the doubts in my heart were greatly reduced. It turned out that after a long time, this little guy wanted money! Isn't this simple? They have made a fortune recently.

After thinking he understood John Zeng’s purpose, Yao Mu slapped his thigh directly and said with an annoyed look on his face:

"Look at my stupid brain! How can I let Brother John, who is responsible for protecting Mr. Hong Kong Governor, worry about life? It's because I'm ignorant, so be it! Tonight I'll ask my brothers to send some living allowance to my house, you Let’s see when it’s more convenient.”

Hearing this, John Zeng deliberately looked relieved, and said with a smile on his face:

"Haha...Then I won't be polite to Brother Mu. Don't worry, Brother Mu, I have a day off today and there will always be people at home." Seeing John Zeng's performance, Yao Mu became more sure of his thoughts. For him, this is a rare information channel. You must know that John Tsang is now a guard of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, and the information he has is very important. If he reveals a little bit, it will be of great help to him. of.

 This is a channel that he never dared to think of before. Now that it has been brought to his doorstep, of course he must cherish it.

“That’s good, I’ll have someone send it to you quietly as soon as it gets dark.”

At this moment, Yao Mu was no longer in a hurry to know who the black-hearted businessman was. After all, under the current situation, he did not send the money to John Zeng, so it was normal for him not to tell him right away.

After hearing what Yao Mu said, John Zeng also smiled slightly, stood up and shook hands with Yao Mu to leave. When Yao Mu saw this, he stood up and shook hands with John Zeng with a smile on his face.

 “Then I would like to thank Brother Mu for taking care of me.”

Just when Yao Mu thought that John Zeng would tell him the information after receiving the money, John Zeng had already approached him and lowered his voice:

 “Xinji Xiangqian.”

After saying that, he opened the door and walked out without hesitation.

After getting the answer, Yao Mu couldn't help but frown, feeling annoyed.

Who John Tseng was referring to as the new chronicle was of course very clear to him. Xiang Qian, a former Kuomintang general, had a political background from the Kuomintang. After the defeat, he did not follow the army back to Taiwan. Instead, he stayed in Hong Kong and joined the Ngee Ann Gang. In 1947, the Ngee Ann Gang was suspected of being a triad. The activity was canceled by the Hong Kong government as a society.

Before Xiang Xiang, the organization was renamed Xin'an Company, which is what John Zeng called Xinji.

The reason why Yao Mu is angry is because Inspector Zonghua like him actually has a great influence on the gangs in Hong Kong City. Now that he knows that he is doing his best to crack down on smuggling, Xinji still jumps out to engage in smuggling activities.

This is a typical example of not giving Yao Mu face, how can he not be annoyed. As for whether the news was true or false, Yao Mu had no doubt at all. After all, with such easily verifiable information, Yao Mu did not believe that John Zeng would lie to him.

As for how Xin Ji and the Political Department came together, it is not difficult to guess when you think about Xiang Qian’s political background. After thinking for a while in the private room to figure out the key points, Yao Mu stood up directly, left the private room and returned to the police station.

 Early the next morning, Agui, who was still looking for smuggling suspects, unexpectedly received information that Xinji was collecting supplies on a large scale recently. This made his eyes light up, and he arranged for people to start investigating without hesitation.

He actually found out that many of Xinji's manpower were being gathered in a large warehouse in the New Territories recently, and a large amount of in-demand materials were stocked in this warehouse.

 Three days later in the evening, Yao Mu’s house.

“Brother Mu, Xinji has hoarded so many supplies and is definitely going to smuggle them to the mainland. Do you think we should take action?”

Agui has been very careful since he almost got into trouble last time. Although Xinji's suspicion of smuggling has been confirmed this time, he still made a special trip to the police station to ask Yao Mu for his opinion, fearing that he would accidentally do something wrong again.

Hearing Agui's report, Yao Mu nodded with satisfaction. The reason why he secretly disclosed this information to Agui this time was actually a test for this guy.

Yao Mu has become very cautious since he learned that the Political Department is an intelligence agency affiliated with MI5. He is very worried that his police officers will be infiltrated by the Political Department. In particular, Agui also focused on Huo Guantai.

 Fortunately, judging from the current situation, Agui has no problem. After all, if he had a problem, he wouldn't have known that Xin Ji was cooperating with the Political Department. Therefore, he will not report the information he has investigated to himself.

“What does that guy Xiang Qian want to do when he rushes to the street? Don’t you know that the Hong Kong government is cracking down on smuggling? A young and Dangerous boy dares to go against our police. I think he is impatient.”

After speaking, he confirmed again:

“Is your information accurate? Are you sure it’s someone from Xinji?”

Seeing Yao Mu's performance, Agui knew that he had found the target this time. He nodded quickly.

"Brother Mu, I personally observed it closely. Xiang Qian happened to be in the warehouse at that time."

Hearing this, Yao Mu was overjoyed. He didn't expect Xiang Qian to be present in person. If he could catch Xiang Qian in action, he would be rich.

However, he soon realized that since Xiang Qian was cooperating with the Political Department, he must not be allowed to leave alive, otherwise he would definitely be released when the time comes. It would be better to just stop doing it and kill the opponent directly on the spot, leaving the Political Department to suffer a loss.

Patted Agui on the shoulder, Yao Mu nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Good job, good boy. It seems we are going to make a fortune again this time. Have you investigated when they are going to ship the goods? Don't wait until they ship it and let the Marine Police take advantage."

Hearing Yao Mu’s words, Agui couldn’t help but chuckle and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Mu, I have already investigated clearly. They will be loaded onto the ship and set out to sea tonight. If we want to take action, we must block them all in the warehouse before they set off."

 “What? It’s going to be loaded tonight?”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and looked at the watch on his hand, and couldn't help but curse:

"We are on the street. The time is so tight that we can't even report back. Do you know their firepower status? Are we sure we can keep them all?"

Agui didn't know if Yao Mu was scolding him, but he also felt a little embarrassed. After all, his investigation did waste too much time and gave Yao Mu a serious lack of preparation time. It was true that he was scolded. normal.

“Brother Mu, don’t worry. Although they have more than ten long guns and more than twenty short guns, I am sure that I can keep them all.”

Hearing this, Yao Mu took a deep look at Agui, as if he had made up his mind, he patted his shoulder and said:

“Very good, don’t say that I don’t give you a chance as the elder brother. I will give you full authority to command this operation. As long as you do a good job this time, I will report it to the superiors and give you a job as a detective.

 But if you make a mistake..."

How could Agui give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Before Yao Mu could finish his words, he patted his chest and promised:

“Brother Mu, don’t worry. If there are any mistakes in the operation, I, Agui, will come and see you.”

 After receiving Agui’s assurance, Yao Mu was obviously very satisfied. He patted his shoulder with a smile on his face and said:

“I don’t want you to show up, I want you to kill the entire Xinji smuggling gang, do you understand?”

"Yes! Sir! Catch all the Xinji smuggling gang."

 With Yao Mu's support, Agui immediately began to mobilize manpower. The Chinese police officers all knew that the recent anti-smuggling operation was lucrative, and they were very active in participating in such an operation.

In order not to attract the attention of the Political Department, Yao Mu did not report to his superiors on the grounds of time urgency. Instead, he used his power as the chief inspector to help Agui greet the various districts below. Therefore, Agui could easily summon a large number of Chinese police officers to help.
