Chapter 85 Showdown, I’m pretending

"But Jiale was really scared by you this time. After he finished talking to Su Long on the phone, he was ready to take the whole thing on himself. He even asked me how many years of imprisonment he would be sentenced to for such a thing."

Shen Wei thought of Chen Jiale's heroic expression and couldn't help but smile.

"If I can't even fool my own people, how can I fool Su Long and Deng Guangrong? Wow, what a fat barbecued pork."

Zhai Yuan lowered his head to eat, and took the time to praise Zhao Meizhen's cooking skills, and then said: "Brother Jiale is very kind, please take care of me more in the future."

Shen Wei knew clearly that after saying this, even if Chen Jiale was Zhai Yuan's confidant, as he also came from a housing estate, he would probably turn things around soon.

He coughed and asked, "What should we do next?"

"I'll tell you after I finish my meal."

Zhai Yuan drank a mouthful of soup and looked like a starving ghost reincarnated.

While chewing the barbecued pork in his mouth, he said indignantly: "Pick that star! Pang Jiayan always says that my acting is bad. I really should film my recent performance and show it to her. I admire myself for pretending to be fierce and a big boss!"

The meal was finished quickly.

Zhai Yuan washed down the last mouthful of rice with the broth, then slumped in his chair and burped.

"You can ask the insurance company to determine the damage."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he used the familiar dirty tactics.

"I paid such a large amount of commercial insurance for my video hall for a long time. Besides, the four new video halls I opened later were all finely renovated. I will spend some money to see if I can bribe the damage assessor and let Prudential pay me more money."

Since its listing in the 1920s, Prudential Group has been one of the largest insurance companies in Hong Kong.

Ever since Zhai Yuan faced Deng Guangrong, he had expected this day to come. Even if Deng Guangrong didn't clean up his mess, he would force the other party to take action.

Just like tonight.

So he had already spent a lot of money to buy insurance for his video hall.

Act ruthlessly and borrow soldiers.

I did all this to get insurance fraud, and you are actually playing with me for real?

You are such a tiger!
From beginning to end, Zhai Yuan only glanced at him more when Deng Guangrong sent the thugs to cause trouble for the first time.

After bringing Shangguan Yonggan and the other four people back from Su Long, he had no intention of continuing to tangle with Deng Guangrong, but instead aimed at the high-priced insurance policy that the other party could bring to him.

The blind girl against the chasing girl, the free opening of the theater, including the second borrowing of troops, were all to irritate Deng Guangrong.

When the time was ripe, they opened four finely decorated video halls. On the surface, it was a business competition, but in reality it was a preparation for obtaining more claims.

It's like building a few more floors before demolishing it.

Shen Wei shook his head after hearing this.

The four video rooms that Zhai Yuan so-called had been finely decorated were actually just two buckets of paint he bought for a few dozen yuan, which he used to repaint the walls, and then he laid a blanket on the floor.

However, the renovation costs insured at the time stated that it was designed by high-end designers, with imported materials from abroad and high-end luxury carpets, so that the insured valuation of the four video halls opened later was more than twice that of the first six.

The insurance agent who collected the money from him at that time must be sweating profusely now.

After a moment of silence for the insurance agent who handled the business, Shen Wei reported to Zhai Yuan: "I have contacted Prudential's damage assessor before coming here. For this kind of criminal damage, the insurance company needs to contact the police for notarization and issue a loss list and compensation amount receipt. The process may take a week."

"It doesn't matter. I can wait."

Zhai Yuan remembered that there was also a consequential loss insurance in the policy, namely, "In addition to physical losses, the insured can also obtain economic compensation such as loss of gross profit or increase in fixed expenses due to temporary suspension of business, affected production, and decreased turnover caused by property damage."

The longer you delay, the more you will lose!
Neither he nor Shen Wei was worried that Prudential would refuse to pay compensation, because based on the current evidence, Zhai Yuan was a complete victim.

From an outsider's perspective, he is really focusing on his career.

He opened branches, made movies, and even registered an emotional telephone business under the guise of free movie watching. Each step was closely linked and he proceeded step by step, showing the image of an outstanding and motivated young businessman.

But this was the model student chosen by the high school principal and the one who had denounced the society with his blood-stained clothes.

He was running a video hall in the housing estate and picking up girls, but suddenly the place was smashed up!

What! You said Deng Guangrong's place was also smashed?

That has nothing to do with me! Isn't that the feud between Lianshunle and Xinji? I am not a gangster.

Of course, there is another crucial reason why the insurance company will or will not pay compensation.

That is whether they have to pay for it themselves.

Fortunately, when it comes to criminal damage, Prudential does not have to spend the money itself.

After they compensated Zhai Yuan, they could then sue the police, fire department, Housing Department and other Hong Kong government departments, including the arsonist Deng Guangrong.

"I don't even dare to imagine how miserable Deng Guangrong will be next."

Zhai Yuan sighed.

Shen Wei nodded in agreement.

What level does Prudential hold in Hong Kong?

It is probably equivalent to HSBC and Hang Seng.

Being targeted by British insurance companies in Hong Kong is like offending the IRS in the United States.

If you miss a coin, I will peel off a layer of your skin.

……

Zhai Yuan still underestimated the impact that his disclosure of the matter would have on Deng Guangrong.

It's half past twelve in the morning.

Deng Guangrong was still ordering his men to look for the whereabouts of Zhai Yuan's family.

The bigwigs from all walks of life, who had just been scolded by the head of Prudential Group's Hong Kong region, called Deng Guangrong and scolded him.

Then the police came to his door. They were not polite as usual and took him to the Ngau Tau Kok Police Station with a tough attitude.

The reasons included the burning of ten video halls in Sau Mau Ping and the deaths of three of his subordinates at Lian Shun Le, but most importantly, the Prudential Group strongly requested that he assist in the investigation.

Despite the risk of being photographed, Deng Guangrong had to step into the police station door, followed by a group of reporters who had heard the news.

Needless to say, there will be news reports tomorrow morning that he was taken away by the police.

He wanted to call Shen Dianxia and ask her to use her connections to stop the newspaper from writing nonsense, but she didn't even dare to answer his call.

I was afraid that I would be dragged into the police station.

After all, once photographed by reporters, Shen Dianxia would be even more miserable than him and would face the wrath of his Sixth Uncle.

"Brother Darong, nice to meet you, how are you?"

Standing in the lobby of the police station, Deng Guangrong was taking his fingerprints while turning his head away to avoid reporters who were taking pictures outside the door.

Suddenly a hearty voice sounded in my ears.

Looking up, I saw a young man standing in front of me, waving at me with a smile.

Deng Guangrong was still curious about the other party's identity.

The accompanying lawyer whispered, "Brother Darong, he is the housing estate boy."

Deng Guangrong's eyes instantly became sharp when he heard this.

This was the first time he met Zhai Yuan in person, and he looked much younger than he had imagined.

It was such a young teenager that kept him awake late at night and was scolded by bigwigs from all sides over the phone?
What's more, the image of an entertainment industry boss that he had painstakingly built up for so many years was suddenly reduced to dust and turned into a gangster hated by everyone?

"Attack your mother and trap me?"

Deng Guangrong was so angry that he grabbed the pen holder on the reporting table and rushed towards Zhai Yuan viciously!
Zhai Yuan shrank his neck and made a frightened expression.

At the same time, he shouted, "I'm sorry, Brother Darong, I really didn't know you were a gangster and the leader of Lianshunle. I will never dare to compete with you for business again!"

Click! Click! Click!

The reporters outside the door pressed their shutter buttons frantically, and the flash lights illuminated the night sky.

Deng Guangrong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. As soon as he moved, he was held down by the policemen around him and could only throw the pen holder at Zhai Yuan.

He cursed in a low voice: "You old fool, I will kill your whole family when I get out!"

Zhai Yuan turned his head to avoid it, and when he heard Deng Guangrong's threatening voice, the fear on his face disappeared.

"Look, he's in a hurry."

He gave Deng Guangrong a mocking smile.

Zhai Yuan took a few steps forward, ignoring the other party's struggle, and took the initiative to help Deng Guangrong straighten his collar, with sympathy in his eyes: "I dare not think about how the reporters outside will write nonsense news after tonight, especially since I gave them red envelopes. Tsk tsk, you must come out quickly, I'll wait for you."
