Chapter 24

"Hey, it's a madam, I thought it was a model!" The guy with a face full of acne said sarcastically, his hands still lingering under the armpits of the two young models, fondling their chests.

"Shameless!" Seeing this, Xie Baoniu raised her hand to slap the guy, but Fei Lun quickly grabbed her hand.

"What? Madam wants to hit someone? I'm so scared!" The acne-faced guy mocked, "This is in front of everyone, the consequences of a police officer hitting someone, Madam should be clear..."

"Get lost!" Fei Lun glanced at the acne-faced guy and abruptly cut him off, "If you keep babbling, I'll report you for obstructing official duties!"

The acne-faced guy didn't seem to care, and said with a sly grin, "Officer, you dare to yell at us good citizens like this? Do you believe I can complain about you three times a day until you get fired from the police force?"

Fei Lun almost laughed until tears came to his eyes, "Then go complain quickly. After I'm laid off, I'll visit your family every day." As he said this, his gaze towards the acne-faced guy was exceptionally fierce, "But now, don't block me from doing my job, get lost!"

"You, you..." The acne-faced guy was scared by the ferocity in Fei Lun's eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, many people around were watching, and Xie Yixin quietly tugged at Fei Lun's sleeve, hinting that he should stop.

At this moment, the security manager of the lobby arrived with several subordinates and said, "Officer, Madam, you can investigate, but..."

Before the manager could finish, a familiar male voice interrupted him, "Hi, Alan, didn't expect to see you here!"

Fei Lun didn't even look at the newcomer and said, "Little Li, I'm in a bad mood, why are you here to stir things up?"

Li Zhe Kai, who had already approached, touched his nose, a bit awkward, but still patted Fei Lun's shoulder, "What's going on? You're so angry!"

What's the situation?

The onlookers were a bit stunned. The cop called Li Jia's little superhero 'Little Li'? And the little superhero didn't seem to mind.

The acne-faced guy and the two young models with him were even more stunned. How did this rotten cop get along with the little superhero? It seemed they were quite close, this...

The security manager was even more relieved, glad he didn't finish his sentence, otherwise, offending the friend of the little superhero might cost him his job.

Fei Lun glanced at the acne-faced guy and said coldly, "Hmph, someone just made me unhappy, so I'll make him unhappy for life!"

Li Zhe Kai glared at the acne-faced guy and said, "Alan, don't take it out on a kid, you should at least..."

Fei Lun interrupted Little Li's words, "What do you mean? You should know I always keep my word. I have to get back to work!" He then ignored Li Zhe Kai and the others, signaled to Xie Baoniu, and started asking the staff for information.

Li Zhe Kai, feeling helpless, said behind Fei Lun, "Alan, I'll call you later!" and then turned and left.

This interruption made the acne-faced guy dare not to be loud anymore. He hugged the two girls and slunk away, chasing after Little Li.

The onlookers also turned back, chatting about what they had just seen, speculating on the relationship between Li Zhe Kai and Fei Lun.

As for the security manager, he quickly flattered Fei Lun and Xie Baoniu, "Officer, Madam, what do you need to investigate? Maybe I can help!"

Fei Lun didn't want to pay attention to him, but this offer hit the mark, so he and Xie Baoniu discussed and decided to split up to gather information.

Soon, Fei Lun and Xie Yixin clarified a few points.

In Hong Kong, all pure racing horses are for racing, and whether active or retired, they are never sold for meat. As for the horses that die of illness, the Health Department will handle the recovery and disposal.

On the surface, pure racing horse meat has no chance of entering the market. This was the preliminary conclusion Fei Lun and Xie Yixin reached after their inquiries.

They sat at a table, ordered two drinks, and Xie Yixin asked Fei Lun, "What do you think?"

Fei Lun said helplessly, "It looks a bit tricky. We need to clarify three issues: First, get colleagues from each district to keep an eye on Wei Danhong; second, verify the list provided by the club to confirm if all the horses under the names of the owners who have had no horse deaths in the past two months are still there; third, focus on investigating the horses reported as sick or euthanized."

After writing down Fei Lun's suggestions, Xie Yixin decided, "Let's do it your way!"

After catching up with Li Zhe Kai, the acne-faced guy hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Brother Li, Brother Li, who was that officer just now? How do you know him so well?"

Li Zhe Kai glanced at the acne-faced guy and sneered, "I heard you want to complain about Alan? I hope you do, go ahead!"

"Ah? This, this..."

"My dad and I don't want Alan to be a cop. If you can get him fired..." Li Zhe Kai shrugged, "Maybe when Alan goes after your family, my dad will save you!"

The acne-faced guy almost cried on the spot but still held out hope, asking, "Brother Li, is that officer related to your family?"

Li Zhe Kai saw through his intentions and decided to play a trick, saying with a normal expression, "No!"

The acne-faced guy breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since the cop had no background from the Li family, he could do whatever he wanted. Unfortunately, Fei Lun was even more vengeful. While inquiring about the horses, he had already found out the acne-faced guy's background and called someone across the ocean on the way back to the headquarters.

"Um... Hello?" The person on the other end of the phone was clearly just woken up and hadn't even checked the caller ID.

"Xibi, it's me!"

"Ah? Boss, you're calling me so late, it must be urgent, right?" The other person's voice instantly became clear.

"I'm very angry, get the stock price of Hong Kong 0494 to half its current value."

"0494? Fengli Trading? The stock price is only 17% overvalued, it's hard to do, Boss!"

"Can't you hurt someone with your own loss?"

Xibi was startled by Fei Lun's words and quickly said, "Got it, Boss! I promise not to lose money, and the other side will bleed heavily." In fact, with enough funds, forcefully depressing the stock price and then buying low and selling high, if done well, wouldn't result in a loss.

"Alright, I only care about the result. If you do well, you'll get an extra point in your bonus this year."

Xibi was delighted, "Thank you, Boss, you can count on me!"

After Fei Lun finished the call, Xie Yixin, who was driving and deliberately controlling the Ferrari's speed, asked, "Who were you calling?"

"No one, just a friend!" Fei Lun evaded.

Baoniu was a bit annoyed and glared at him through her sunglasses.

Fei Lun thought for a moment and said, "By the way, do you trade stocks?"

"...Yes, so what?"

"There's a chance to make money, want to know?"

"Sure, what kind of chance, be careful of the ICAC!" Baoniu said, "Wait, that wasn't what you were talking about just now? I think I heard something about 0494."

"Yes, it was about that, want to know?"

Xie Yixin nodded, "Who wouldn't want to know about a chance to make money? But don't say it yet, Dai Mao and the others also trade stocks, let's talk about it when we get back!" She paused and then asked curiously, "Alan, you know the little superhero, can afford a Ferrari, and still come to be a cop? What does your family do?"

"Madam, it's none of your business. I'm not a suspect, I don't have to answer your questions."

This response made Baoniu roll her eyes.

Back at the Serious Crime Unit, Xie Yixin told Dai Yan and the others about it, and everyone was very excited. But when it came to placing orders, they all placed small orders.

Fei Lun saw this and said, "Go all in. If we lose, I'll give you my Ferrari."

"Officer Fei, you said it." Li Lidong asked, and immediately placed a full order to buy Fengli.

Xie Yixin and the others also increased their orders to three-quarters or more, but they set the buy price at just a bit more than half of Fengli's current stock price.

When the afternoon market opened, Fengli's stock price plummeted, falling by 30% in less than ten minutes.

Xie Yixin and the others were stunned when they received the news.

"Damn, Officer Fei, your information is too accurate!" Dai Yan exclaimed, "Will the ICAC invite you for a coffee?"

Fei Lun waved his hand, "No problem, keep working!"

At the same time, Fengli Trading was in chaos.

"Guolun, what's going on? Why is our stock price falling so much?" The boss, Ma Guojin, asked.

The second-in-command, Ma Guolun, wiped his sweat and said, "According to reports, it's because a large amount of funds has forcibly intervened, violently suppressing our company's stock."

"Large amount of funds? How much?"

"At least 500 million..."

"Then gather funds immediately to counterattack!" Ma Guojin roared, "I want the other side to lose everything..."

"Big brother, it's 500 million US dollars!"

Ma Guojin's voice choked like a duck whose neck was grabbed, and it stopped abruptly.

At this moment, the acne-faced guy, who had just finished lunch and returned to Fengli Trading, was thinking about how to get his uncle and father to deal with that rotten cop. However, he saw people rushing around, all looking panicked.

"Hey!" The acne-faced guy called out to someone, "What's going on?"

"Ah? Second Young Master!" The person called out seemed a bit dazed.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, the company's stock price has plummeted, and the big boss and the young boss are in the office discussing a strategy!"

"Company's stock price plummeted? How is that possible? It was stable and rising this morning!"
