Chapter 456: Smuggling Drugs
He Feng pondered in his heart, and felt that this matter was more and more strange, but he still patiently asked: "Tell me, what is it? You know, I am no longer the director, and I don't have as much power as before."
Kong Xiangbin leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Actually, this is just a small matter for you. I smuggled a batch of medicine and want to transport it into this city smoothly. Can you use your connections and relationships to help me think of a solution?"
He Feng was alert when he heard this. He shook his head without even thinking and said seriously, "I can't do this. Drug smuggling is illegal. I can't break the law knowingly."
Kong Xiangbin's face was full of fawning smiles. He leaned forward slightly and said to He Feng: "Director He, what are you talking about? How can you say that I broke the law knowingly? I always have the common people in my heart. I do this purely to make sure that the common people can afford the medicine. You also know that the price of medicine is so high now, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see a doctor. I just want to do my best to help." As he spoke, he carefully took out two yellow gold bars from the bag he was carrying, as if by magic, and shook them in front of He Feng. The light reflected by the gold bars seemed to reflect the calculations in his heart.
He Feng looked at the two gold bars, and a subtle fluctuation flashed in his eyes, but he did not reach out to take them. Instead, he frowned slightly, looked at Kong Xiangbin with embarrassment, and said, "Boss Kong, what you said sounds like it is for the benefit of the people, but it is not easy to implement in practice. There are too many things involved here, and all aspects must be taken care of. I have to weigh them carefully."
Kong Xiangbin had been in the business world for many years and was a very shrewd man. When he heard what He Feng said, he immediately understood what he meant. He still had a smile on his face, but it was a little more helpless. Then he took out two gold bars from his bag, handed them to He Feng with both hands, and said, "Director He, how about this? Please take the trouble to help your brother. Please accept this gift."
He Feng looked at the four gold bars in front of him, and the hesitation in his eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by a satisfied look. He calmly reached out to take the gold bars, stuffed the gold bars into his pocket, and said: "Don't think that this money is just for me. You know, we still need the help of brothers for this matter. I will also share a share with the brothers when the time comes. Everyone has contributed, right?"
Although Kong Xiangbin was a little unhappy, as he didn't expect He Feng to be so greedy that he was not satisfied with just two gold bars, he changed his mind and thought that this was fine. After all, in his opinion, only those who are greedy are the easiest to satisfy. If He Feng doesn't want anything, then he is the most difficult to deal with and control. Thinking of this, Kong Xiangbin smiled again and said, "Director He, look at what you said, how can I ask you to do this? This is what I should do, and it is my honor if you can help. As long as I can get the job done, I am willing to spend any amount of money."
He Feng knew very well that he had to act greedy at this moment. After all, at this critical moment, he had not yet gained the other party's trust, and the batch of medicine he mentioned was probably the bait used by the other party to test him.
After thinking for a moment, He Feng showed a perfect smile on his face, with a hint of urgency in his eyes. He looked at Kong Xiangbin and asked, "When can this batch of medicine be shipped over?"
Kong Xiangbin narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was choosing his words carefully. After thinking for a while, he said, "This batch of medicine will arrive tonight. By then, I will have to rely on your help, Director He."
He Feng waved his hand, still smiling, and said, "From now on, just call me He Feng. If you really feel it's inappropriate, you can call me Boss He. You see, I'm not the director anymore, so it's not appropriate to call me director."
Kong Xiangbin heard this, his face was full of flattering smiles, and he quickly said: "Director, what are you talking about? As long as we can cooperate well, I can still help you pass on the message from the higher-ups. Don't worry, if you work with us, you will definitely get some benefits."
He Feng knew in his heart that his most critical task at the moment was to stabilize them first and find out step by step who the real mastermind behind them was. This was the core of solving the problem.
So He Feng followed Kong Xiangbin's lead and started eating and drinking with him, trying to get more useful information from the conversation. However, after a meal, He Feng tried his best, but he didn't expect to get nothing. The other party was very tight-lipped. But He Feng knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, and he had to take his time. He couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
After eating and drinking, He Feng looked at the time. With a slightly drunk face, he smiled at Kong Xiangbin and said, "Okay, no more drinking. I'm going to the Public Security Bureau and talk to my confidant there. When the time comes, you can just call him directly. He knows what to do."
After hearing this, Kong Xiangbin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Director, I'll rely on you to take care of it. If this thing succeeds, we will all benefit."
He Feng stood up and left the restaurant. As soon as he walked out, he realized that someone was following him stealthily, relying on his years of experience. But he did not make a sound, pretending nothing had happened, and walked straight towards the Public Security Bureau.
The people who were following him followed him all the way, but when He Feng arrived at the door of the Public Security Bureau, they could only stop outside the door helplessly. After all, the Public Security Bureau was not a place they could enter and exit at will, and they were at a loss for a moment.
He Feng knew his current status very well. Although he was no longer the director, he still had some prestige in the Public Security Bureau. He found a police officer at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau and said politely, "I want to see your Captain Zhao Lei. Please inform him."
Although the police officer knew that He Feng had resigned as the director, he remembered that He Feng's previous contributions to the Public Security Bureau were indeed worthy of respect, so he respectfully led He Feng to an office and said, "Please wait a moment. I will call Captain Zhao over."
Not long after, Zhao Lei hurried over. When he saw He Feng, he hurried forward and said respectfully, "Director, why are you here? Is there something urgent?"
He Feng knew that Zhao Lei was his confidant and was trustworthy. He didn't waste any words and directly took out four golden bars from his bag, placed them on the table, and said, "Zhao Lei, take a look at this."
