Chapter 39 The One That Got Away — Yi Qun’s Ah Hao

Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing Chencang. Classic strategies never go out of style. No one knew that the real profit Lei Luo was making came from the rebate under the “Live or Die With the Nation” agreement.

Just this one key piece of missing information was enough to mislead everyone. After receiving the money from the second round of bonds, Shirley immediately rushed to Southeast Asia. Of course, before leaving, this mixed-race beauty made sure to squeeze Lei Luo dry one last time.

But facing the physically strong Lei Luo, the cow wasn’t tired yet—the field gave out first. As the second month passed, Lei Luo smoothly settled the second round of bonds. This time, he launched the third round—totaling 500 million, still a one-month term, with a 30% return!

Even though the fundraising target was higher than the previous two rounds, it sold out instantly upon launch!

After the smooth settlement of two consecutive rounds, the market had recognized the profitability of the “Walled City Bonds.” In fact, due to the excellent performance of the bonds, the Walled City project itself was being heavily sought after.

The entire Hong Kong financial circle was studying the operating model of the project. But no matter how they analyzed it, they just couldn’t figure out how such insane profits were being generated.

After much investigation, everyone’s attention finally landed on the grain trade between Huo Dong and Mainland China. Lei Luo never concealed the direction of the bond funds.

“If Lei Luo can do it, so can we!”

“Isn’t it just buying low and selling high? We can also buy grain and sell it to Mainland China.”

“They’re short on food right now, so we hold the leverage.”

Sitting on the sofa, He Junwei said to the others. Their company, founded specifically to counter the Walled City project, had been operating poorly lately. The projects they were interested in either failed to launch or had significantly lower profit margins than expected.

Based on their performance, they were clearly failing—losing face in front of their elders and the Triad Council high-ups. He Junwei felt that everything had been going wrong recently and had been deeply frustrated.

Now that his people had figured out Lei Luo’s money-making method, he decided to jump in immediately.

“Doing this is also a way to sabotage the Walled City project.”

“The more grain Mainland China buys from us, the less they’ll get from him!”

“Without the income from grain sales, how can he maintain that so-called bond strategy?”

He Junwei spoke passionately, and the more he said, the more convinced he became that this was exactly the way to go!

Sabotaging the Walled City project wasn’t just about cutting off financing channels—targeting the source was also a method. If successful, it would put tremendous pressure on Lei Luo’s cash flow.

“Ah Cheng, stop fiddling with your land business. Lead a team to the mainland.”

“Lei Luo still needs to go through Huo Dong—we’ll go straight to the source and cut out the middleman!”

Over on the other side, when Li Jiacheng heard He Junwei’s order, he frowned. He had been quietly pushing the Hong Kong government to sell land and had even acquired some himself. But he discovered someone else had also been quietly buying up land, and their funding and aggression far outmatched his.

He had just been planning to persuade He Junwei to switch focus to the land business, but now, He Junwei was sending him away instead?

Coming from an elite family, He Junwei was the type who demanded obedience.

Knowing his own status was still too low, Li Jiacheng could only quietly accept the order. What he didn’t know was that the one competing with him in the Hong Kong land market was none other than Huo Dong—backed by Lei Luo.

Lei Luo had received a 900 million rebate, half of which went into grain purchases, and the other half into land. He remotely controlled Huo Dong, who in turn controlled others in layers of shell companies, making it impossible for outsiders to trace.

Lei Luo was no longer just a corrupt cop taking bribes. He had transformed—pulling himself out of the mud and steadily evolving into a financial predator. The Walled City had been completely demolished, and the main structure of the new project was already under construction.

As buildings began to rise, the Hong Kong market’s enthusiasm for the project burned hotter. No matter how pretty your words, nothing beats solid towers standing tall. Lei Luo invested the money from the bonds into the stock market, using red cards to push prices up in a steady streak!

A red card guaranteed a 10% rise. After three consecutive red cards, the market momentum took over. Enthusiastic investors blindly followed, sending the stock into a frenzy.

Even when major clients sold off shares, Lei Luo just played another red card to stabilize it. The result? Five red cards gave him a 300% return!

The day he played the final red card, Lei Luo sold off all his shares—slashing profits hard. In just three months, his company’s account held a full billion.

At this point, the police department’s upper ranks no longer doubted him. Instead, they threw their full support behind him. But of course, not everyone was pleased. The Hong Kong tycoons who had originally tried to suppress the Walled City project met again.

At the meeting, Triad Council leaders expressed deep dissatisfaction with He Junwei’s performance. Fortunately, He Junwei presented his plan to undercut Lei Luo’s grain profits, gaining approval.

The insane and stable returns of the Walled City bonds, in everyone’s eyes, were all thanks to Lei Luo’s grain trade. Everyone agreed—the grain trade was Lei Luo’s weak spot. So, the upper ranks united with wealthy elites and banks to raise 2 billion.

“Raise the purchase price, lower the selling price! If Lei Luo can’t sell grain, we win!”

Since Lei Luo’s buyer was Huo Dong, and the Council believed Huo had close ties to the mainland, they figured that unless they had better prices, the mainland wouldn’t buy from Lei Luo.

As for procurement…

“Ah Hao, the boss of Yi Qun, and the Ma brothers are currently in the Golden Triangle.”

“After Lei Luo led the crackdown in Hong Kong, they stopped fighting.”

“Send someone to contact Ah Hao and the Ma brothers—they should be interested in revenge.”

As senior officials, they knew exactly how Yi Qun fell. It would be hard to believe there weren’t traitors involved. And even if there weren’t, they could forge documents to make it look like Lei Luo orchestrated everything.

The Council’s words amazed the tycoons, who agreed the plan was feasible. But none of them realized that what they assumed was speculation—-in fact the truth.

And Lei Luo had never forgotten about Ah Hao, the one who got away…

The reason he hadn’t moved against him yet—

was because Ah Hao was the bait he had intentionally left untouched…
