Chapter 1225 Atonement Through Merit
Chen Yongren remained silent, and the entire office fell silent.
Throughout this process, Chen Yongren kept looking at Lan Bowen, and Lan Bowen stared back at Chen Yongren without any hesitation. Their gazes collided in mid-air.
After a moment, Chen Yongren said, "Alright, since you are willing to act as guarantor, I will give you this opportunity. I hope you can make the most of it. As long as Shao Zhilang can make contributions in this operation, I will report the truth to the judge and plead for leniency!"
Lan Bowen immediately said happily, "Okay, thank you, Inspector Chen!" After saying that, he pulled Shao Zhilang along and said, "Thank you, Inspector Chen!"
Chen Yongren didn't care, and instead turned to Liu Jianming and said, "These two are yours. If you take this case, your promotion is a sure thing, and everyone else will shut up."
Although Lau Kin-ming's promotion was decided by Wah Sang and Lee Man-bun, it still caused a lot of discussion within the police force. Unlike Chan Wing-yan and Ho Man-chin, Lau Kin-ming had made too few contributions, and his previous work in the Special Branch made many people dissatisfied.
This case is quite significant. If it can be handled well, no one will dare to say anything about Liu Jianming's promotion.
Liu Jianming understood this as well, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I understand." Then he turned to Lan Bowen and the other man and said, "Let's go to my office, we'll have a detailed discussion."
In Liu Jianming's office, they discussed the plan of action and then took out miniature listening devices to attach to the two men.
"Alright, as long as you follow the plan, there's a high chance you can wipe out the entire Demao Group, including Mr. Dong behind it all."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yongren patted Shao Zhilang's arm and said calmly, "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well in this operation, you'll be able to get out in a few years. After all, what you did wasn't that serious."
Previously, Tak Mau Group's business was in the gray area. The idea of actually trafficking drugs only came to mind in the last few months. There was no other way. The Hong Kong Island market was currently untapped. Tak Mau Group had been able to endure for so long, which showed great patience, for fear that the police would launch another crackdown.
After waiting for so long and seeing that the police had not taken any further action, they decided to send someone to Mexico to seek cooperation. The reason they didn't go to the Golden Triangle was because they felt that the Golden Triangle was not safe.
So many drug dealers in Hong Kong Island source their drugs from the Golden Triangle, and as a result, some were arrested, some were executed, and the area has been thoroughly infiltrated. The police have long since figured out the routes for transporting the drugs, and nobody wants to test the waters anymore.
Therefore, Demao Group set its sights on Mexico, intending to source its goods from there. Although the journey was longer, it was more discreet and safer.
Unexpectedly, due to internal strife within the group, the cooperation fell through, and Lambowman became the target of internal attacks.
......
The following day, Lan Bowen and Shao Zhilang, along with their underlings, arrived at the governor's office of Demao Group. Upon reaching the door of the conference room on the top floor, Lan Bowen walked straight in.
But just as Shao Zhilang was about to follow, he was stopped by the guards at the door.
Lambowen noticed this as well, turned around and slapped the guard on the head: "What are you doing? Don't you know the rules?"
The younger brother didn't say anything, but lowered his head.
Seeing this, Lan Bowen didn't say anything, but turned his head and paused before saying, "Wait outside for a while, I'll come out to find you after I've dealt with this."
"Okay, it's alright, I'll wait for you over there!" Shao Zhilang nodded, then said to the woman next to him, "Xiao Ying, call me when the meeting is over."
Xiao Ying nodded expressionlessly. She was Lan Bowen's assistant, helping him handle various matters. She was also his bodyguard, and her skills and marksmanship were quite good.
After finishing his business, Lan Bowen entered the conference room.
At this moment, everyone in the conference room had arrived. Guo Ming sat at the head of the table, with a row of old men sitting on his left and a group of younger people sitting on his right, forming two camps.
On one side are the company's veterans, and on the other side are the company's younger generation, with Lambowman being the leader of the younger generation.
As soon as he entered, he heard an old man on his left say in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, making so many people wait for you, don't you know the rules?"
Lan Bowen smiled faintly, not caring. After sitting down in the seat next to Guo Ming, he said indifferently, "Rules? You're talking to me about rules? How much revenue have I generated for the company? And you? You don't earn a penny every year, you just wait for dividends. Now you come to talk to me about rules? Without me, you'd be eating shit every day!"
The old man who had just spoken was furious and wanted to stand up and lash out, but he was stopped by the leader of the elders.
"Ah Zhong, don't bother with him!"
Immediately afterwards, the leader of the elder faction said with a rather cold look in his eyes, "Alan, the company sent you to Mexico to negotiate cooperation, but you actually led mercenaries to fight with them, causing the cooperation to fail. I suppose you have no explanation for this?"
Lambow scoffed, "I led mercenaries into a firefight, causing the cooperation to fail?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Don't I want to cooperate with them? What good will it do me to mess this up?"
"It's obvious someone bribed the Mexicans to kill me. Luckily, I hired a group of mercenaries beforehand, which saved me from disaster. And now you're telling me it's because of me that the cooperation failed?"
"You think I'm easy to bully?"
As he spoke, Lambowman slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"boom!"
"I've had enough of you guys! You're all useless, just sitting around reaping the benefits, and you're deliberately holding me back. You even bribed Mexicans to try and kill me. Do you think I'm an idiot if I don't retaliate?!"
The elders were stunned by what they saw, and then the leader of the elders shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? What collusion with the Mexicans to murder you? You're talking complete rubbish."
Lan Bowen stood up and shouted, "I'm talking nonsense! If it wasn't you who colluded with the Mexicans to murder me, then who else could it be that President Guo hired to murder me?"
After he finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on Guo Ming.
In fact, among all the people he suspected, Guo Ming was the primary target. In recent years, Guo Ming had been so outstanding that he had overshadowed the chairman.
