The promise of a personal favor from none other than Sir Kwan filled both Lam Wai Lok and Kam Tsz Tai with excitement.
After a thoroughly satisfying hot pot meal, the two immediately began making intensive arrangements.
Lok Chiu and Prince both promised that any of their gangsters who found Ji Bingxiong's whereabouts would be promoted as soon as the information was confirmed.
Of course, all of this was done in secret.
If any gangster dared to alert Ji Bingxiong by acting rashly,
not only would he receive no reward, but the two would also hold him accountable and punish him.
People bustled to and fro, all in pursuit of profit.
However cautiously Ji Bingxiong acted, he was carrying stolen goods worth over fifteen million Hong Kong dollars.
The underground human smugglers and black-market fencing operations were places he could not avoid.
After all, Ji Bingxiong could hardly swim away from Hong Kong Island carrying all those jewels and luxury watches.
More than a month after that night's hot pot meal, Ji Bingxiong finally gave himself away.
Perhaps, after hiding for forty or fifty days, he had exhausted his money and could no longer stay hidden.
Or perhaps he thought the Police Force had let down its guard and could not find any trace of him.
In any case, Ji Bingxiong came into Zhou Quan's sights.
Disguising himself, he used two gold Rolexes as payment to charter a speedboat, preparing to leave Hong Kong Island.
Why were gold Rolexes so beloved across Hong Kong Island? This was one reason.
If trouble struck and someone had to flee, a gold Rolex gave them something to fall back on.
These watches were not the very pinnacle of luxury timepieces and were relatively widespread.
They were quick to fence, inconspicuous, and highly valuable.
