Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 583, Section 173: A Difficult Night!
The cold rain dampened the festive atmosphere of New Year's Eve!

Wen Tianchuan sat in the back seat of Liu Wenfeng's car. Although he wasn't handcuffed, two burly men sat on either side of him, sandwiching him in the middle, so he couldn't make any moves.

Thanks to the rain, the traffic on Guangdong Road was finally clear, and the convoy returned to the gate tower smoothly.

At the main entrance of the building, a group of paparazzi stood. As soon as they saw Wen Tianchuan appear, they raised their cameras and took a bunch of pictures of him.

The paparazzi's actions terrified Wen Tianhuo, who was following behind. He didn't plan to get out of the car now; he would wait until Zhuang Lu arrived before entering the gatehouse through the back door.

Wen Tianchuan had no choice but to shield his eyes from the glaring flashlights and walk into the Guanlou Building in the cold rain.

Ge Wei and Sadangdan were standing in the main hall of the gate tower, welcoming the arrival of the four young masters of the Wen family.

"Welcome, Dr. Wen Tianchuan!"

"Congratulations, your nickname has changed from 'Wealthy and Handsome Doctor' to 'Bird-faced Doctor.' In the Middle Ages, when the Black Death spread throughout Europe, doctors wearing raven masks had the power to decide who lived and who died."

"My God! What am I doing?! I'm actually discussing medical metaphors with a doctor!"

Telling a joke as a greeting is a common tactic Ge Wei uses, but he wasn't lying. The nickname the paparazzi have given Wen Tian is indeed "Bird-faced Doctor."

The sarcasm in his words was so obvious that even a three-year-old could understand it! Let alone Wen Tianchuan, who had received higher education.

"Sir, should we search him first? I don't think Mr. Wen Tianchuan intends to speak. Let's confiscate the contraband so there won't be any problems!"

Sadangdan has been cooperating with the Wen family, but these collaborations are shady. He has no choice but to help, otherwise the evidence the Wen family has will be enough to send him to jail.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and use a plausible excuse to help Wen Tianchuan get through this difficult time.

Ge Wei glanced at Sadangdan, smiled thoughtfully, but that was the rule and procedure for closing the building. There was no need or reason to object. He nodded and said, "In this case, Commander Renekton has ordered the establishment of a special investigation team."

"I'll be the team leader, Liu Wenfeng!"

Ge Wei called out Liu Wenfeng's name and looked at him.

Liu Wenfeng naturally saw Ge Wei's gaze, and also noticed Sadangdan's murderous look, but he had no choice but to step forward and continue playing his part.

"I'm here, sir!"

Liu Wenfeng raised his hand to indicate that he was listening.

"You're the deputy team leader, responsible for interrogation and investigation!"

"As for the team members, you'll have to recruit them. Anyone suitable can be recruited into the independent investigation team."

“I’ve already spoken with the lovely Ms. Luna. The BBC will record the whole thing and then take it back to my hometown to broadcast.”

"By the way! Mr. Sadandan, congratulations on your promotion. Go assist Bybo in managing the fleet. I will take over the work of the Investigation Department. This is Commander Rexton's order. The letter of appointment should be on your desk."

Knowing that Sadandan wouldn't let things go and would definitely try to cause trouble, Ge Wei wouldn't give Sadandan a chance. He directly appointed him as the deputy to Bai Bo, the commander of the customs inspection and marine police force, so that he wouldn't have a chance to make a move.

Upon hearing Gervais's warning, Sadandan looked utterly defeated. He could only shake his head and leave the hall, deciding not to make a fool of himself any longer.

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing his direct supervisor, who had been giving him a hard time, suffer misfortune, Liu Wenfeng was overjoyed and immediately loudly accepted the task.

Seeing the dog-eat-dog drama unfold, Wen Tianchuan was not alarmed. He had never been to jail, but he had watched movies, especially crime films, and knew the procedures of law enforcement officers in Hong Kong.

These damn cops won't actually do anything; they'll just scare themselves. Their father has already sent a lawyer, and if the lawyer finds out the cops are behaving badly, he'll definitely cause them trouble.

Brine is used to curdle tofu; everything has its counter! It is precisely because of this mutual restraint that Hong Kong has remained peaceful.

However polite the customs officers and detectives were, a body search was inevitable. Wen Tianchuan's belt and shoelaces were removed, leaving him only with a scarf and his personal clothing.

Knowing that Wen Tianchuan wouldn't cooperate before the lawyer arrived, Liu Wenfeng locked Wen Tianchuan in the luxury suite.

The so-called luxury suite only had a steel toilet and a steel-framed bed welded to the floor. Because the cell was in the basement, it was very damp and had a musty smell.

Wen Tianchuan had never lived in such a poor room since birth, but now that he was a criminal suspect, he had no choice but to do as the Romans do, standing aside, frowning, and looking at the cell in front of him.

Liu Wenfeng did take good care of Wen Tianchuan. He sent someone to get a new straw mat, changed it in front of Wen Tianchuan, and then took a clean sheet and had someone make it up for Wen Tianchuan.

"Young Master Wen, it's the foreigners who want to get you. We Chinese cops can't do anything about it! We can only obey orders!"

Please be understanding!

"Wencai, you stay here with Young Master Wen tonight. If even a hair on Young Master Wen's head is missing, I'll skin you alive!" "Young Master Wen, your lawyer has arrived. I'll let you know then. Panda Boy, go brew Young Master Wen a pot of tea, the best kind!"

"You should rest first!"

After giving a series of instructions, Liu Wenfeng turned and left the cell to report the situation to Ge Wei.

Wen Cai, who was in charge of guarding the area tonight, simply pulled up a chair, sat down, and started reading a lewd magazine.

Wen Tianchuan took off his trench coat and put it on the bed. He then sat on the brand-new bed sheet, crossed his legs, and began to consider his situation.

The warehouse at Wanchai Ferry Pier No. 15 where the accident happened was a gift from my mother. My mother would never harm me.

Although he hadn't been to Warehouse No. 15 many times, all the banknotes from the warehouse had been deposited into his bank account, which was impossible to explain. Now he could only wait for the lawyer to arrive and see what the lawyer had to say.

Attorney Zhuang, who was providing legal services to the Wen family, finally arrived at the Guanlou Building half an hour later. The paparazzi had already gone home for a late-night snack.

Wen Tianhuo, who had been sitting in the sports car, quickly got out of the car when he saw the lawyer arrive and followed Zhuang Lu into the Guanlou Building.

Having received clear orders, Liu Wenfeng had Wen Tianchuan brought to the interrogation room and instructed his men to go to the equipment department to get a recorder to record all the interrogation conversations.

Wen Tianhuo was only a family member, and family members are not allowed to enter the interrogation room. He could only sit in a chair and wait for the results to come out of the interrogation room.

Soaked to the bone by the cold rain, Zhuang Lu first hastily wiped the rainwater off his head with a tissue and then cleaned his gold-rimmed glasses before allowing Liu Wenfeng to begin the interrogation.

Now is not a good time to break ties with the Wen family. Liu Wenfeng stood up, turned off the recording device, and told the recorder, Panda Boy, not to take notes for now. He then placed the photos he had just developed on the table one by one.

“Attorney Zhuang, we’ve known each other for many years, we’re old acquaintances! I won’t beat around the bush! There’s an inside leak! And there’s also employee testimony, Young Master Wen is in big trouble this time.”

"Ten million was scraped out of the Golden Bull, two million in counterfeit pounds, thirty tiger bones, one hundred ivory tusks, nine hundred pairs of undeclared fresh shark fins, and more."

"Forget it! I can't possibly read them all!"

"The Fisheries and Agriculture Department hasn't finished taking inventory yet. This is the list that just arrived. Lawyer Zhuang, take a look for yourself!"

Liu Wenfeng handed a list to the somewhat disheveled lawyer Zhuang, asking him to take a good look.

Zhuang Lu arrived at the Wen family mansion first and then came to Baoma Mountain last. Wen Sheng had already explained the whole story, and also subtly conveyed what was inconvenient to say.

It's no secret that wealthy Chinese families run shady businesses behind the scenes, and the Wen family is no exception!
He first carefully looked through the list, and then looked at the photos on the table.

This is indeed a tough job!

Zhuang Lu sighed inwardly, then said seriously, "Liu sir, we're all old friends, don't make such a big fuss."

“I’ve brought the bail money, one million! Plus two bail letters from Justices of the Peace. If you’re still not satisfied, Inspector Lau, I can even get the warrants from the Executive Council members!”

"Liu sir, do you know how many tricks I have up my sleeve? Back when I was working with the Liu brothers, you were still patrolling the streets!"

Zhuang Lu's idea was simple: the Wen family could afford to pay one million in compensation. As long as Wen Tianchuan was released on bail, he would immediately get a big speedboat and leave.

You can easily get an identity card or legal residency in Honolulu, settle down there, and continue living a carefree life as a pampered young master, as long as you never return to Hong Kong for the rest of your life.

There is no extradition treaty between Hong Kong and the United States. As long as the Wen family throws out a scapegoat afterward and donates some money to Guan Lou, the matter will be over.

Wen Sheng agreed with this approach. If the foreigners dared to handcuff someone on New Year's Eve, they must have solid evidence. It would be best if they could clear Wen Tianchuan's name. If they couldn't, then they should just run away.

The green hills are still there, so you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood!

A new name, a brand new life!
Liu Wenfeng knew exactly what the lawyer sitting opposite him was up to. He definitely couldn't let Wen Tianchuan leave. He was certain that if he let him go now, his entire family would be dead within an hour.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "Attorney Zhuang, precisely because we are old friends and acquaintances, I'll be frank! In such a big case, you definitely won't be able to get the person released on bail."

"One million? Even if you came up with three million, you still couldn't solve it!"

“Although I also share the surname Liu, I must tell you, Attorney Zhuang, the Liu family is the Liu family, and the henchmen who work for the Liu family are henchmen. They cannot be confused.”

"What the Liu family can handle, Attorney Zhuang, you might not be able to!"

“Lawyer Zhuang, I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll just point you in the right direction. If you can get the Governor’s Office’s pardon, I’ll release him immediately. If you can’t, then you’ll have to think about winning this case!”

Liu Wenfeng spoke very bluntly, telling Lawyer Zhuang not to use the Liu brothers' name to intimidate people, but to show some real skills.
