Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

At the wedding, everyone was eating, drinking, and laughing. Chen Dong was talking to Chen Zaiguang when Bill quickly walked in, leaned close to Chen Dong's ear, and whispered, "Tony, Miller from Foley is here. He's at the entrance on the first floor and says he wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong put down his chopsticks, turned his head, and asked Bill, "Did they say what it was about?"

"He didn't say, he just said he wanted to see you, but I didn't let him in," Bill said.

"Okay, I'll go down and see him," Chen Dong stood up, told Chen Zaiguang that he had something to do, and quickly went down to the second floor.

The Hongmen members blocking the restaurant entrance were now staring fiercely at the agents in black suits. Miller Hughes, the leader, waved to Chen Dong as he arrived, saying, "Mr. Chen, long time no see!"

"Mr. Chen, I hope you can come with us," Miller said, taking out his Ferrero Rodriguez ID from his inner suit pocket. Upon hearing this, Bill immediately reached for his gun, but Chen Dong quickly grabbed his wrist.

Chen Dong scoffed, not even glancing at the document Miller had unfolded. "On what grounds do you expect me to go with you?"

"Non-custodial questioning," Agent Miller said with a forced smile. "You can go voluntarily; we won't force you. Once you're at the station, you're free to leave at any time."

"I don't want to go to your police station in Fulbright," Chen Dong said with a smile, lighting a cigarette.

Agent Miller squinted at Chen Dong. "I hope Mr. Chen will come with us voluntarily to avoid unnecessary trouble!"

"Can I take this as a threat?"

"Am I threatening you?"

Chen Dong reached for the phone from Qu Cai and dialed his lawyer, Cons. The call was quickly answered. "Tony, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Dong smiled as he looked at Agent Miller on the other end of the phone and said, "Cons, Agent Miller, who's standing in front of me right now, is trying to force me to go to the police station with him through threats. What should I do?"

"Where are you now? Are you inside?"

Chen Dong raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm currently at the Huaxia Restaurant in Chinatown. Today is Mike's wedding, and I'm here to celebrate."

"OK! No matter what they say to you, don't answer. Wait for me. I'll be there in ten minutes. If they try to take you away by force, I guarantee they'll be in jail!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Chen Dong hung up the phone and looked at Agent Miller. Agent Miller knew that the damned vampire lawyer was coming. He immediately said to Chen Dong, "Mr. Chen, we are asking you to come so that you can cooperate with our investigation into the smuggling of some prohibited equipment. We hope you can cooperate voluntarily."

Chen Dong continued smoking without saying a word. There was a reason why Cons told him not to reply at all. These agents from the Forbes were notoriously cunning. They were adept at using all sorts of coded questions to trick you. If you said the wrong thing, you would immediately fall into their trap.

Seeing that Chen Dong remained silent, Agent Miller deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Chen, we have sufficient evidence that you smuggled some prohibited equipment into China. We have invited you here today in the hope that you can give a detailed account. If there is no violation, then nothing will happen, and we can drop the case in time."

"Mr. Chen, if you continue to be so stubborn, then next time we'll come with an arrest warrant," Agent Miller said, beginning to threaten Chen Dong when he remained silent.

Cons arrived quickly and shouted from behind Agent Miller, "Are you threatening my client? I want you to repeat what you just said to my face!"

Agent Miller turned around and saw a white man in his early forties standing at the bottom of the steps, wearing a dark gray suit, carrying a leather briefcase, and with his blond hair neatly combed.

"Attorney Constance," Miller's lips twitched, and he greeted Constance with a sly grin, "I have no intention of threatening Mr. Chen."

"Detective, first of all, my hearing is fine, and my intelligence is perfectly fine," Constance said, striding up to Chen Dong with his briefcase in hand, staring at Detective Miller. "Regarding your public threats and harassment of my client, I will be filing a public complaint with your superiors!"

"I'm just conducting a non-custodial interview, this isn't harassment, Attorney Cons," Detective Miller's tone was slightly more subdued than before. "Mr. Chen can leave at any time if he cooperates voluntarily."

"No!" Cons refused. "My client refuses. He is an influential public figure, and your non-custodial questioning will have a huge negative impact on him!"

"Attorney Cons, I simply hope Mr. Chen can return to us regarding the issue of the prohibited smuggling equipment..."

"My client doesn't want to know any excuse you used to forcibly and involuntarily remove my client," Cons interrupted Agent Miller sharply. "If you have any questions for my client, I must be present. If you have any subpoenas, please send them to my office."

If you have an arrest warrant, please send it to my office. I will arrange for my client to appear immediately, but until then, my client will not go with you or answer any of your questions.

After Cons finished speaking, the atmosphere immediately became tense. America's lawyer was known for making things difficult even when he was being unreasonable. Don't be fooled by the seemingly impressive name of the lawyer; it's only good for intimidating lower-class Americans. For top-tier American tycoons like Chen Dong, Agent Miller couldn't even get a proper arrest warrant.

Miller stared at Cons for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Dong, and finally gritted his teeth. "Alright, Mr. Chen, sorry to bother you. I hope we can save ourselves some trouble next time we meet."

"Mitu," Cons said coldly, looking at Agent Miller, "Agent Miller, next time you come, remember to complete all the formalities first. America is a free country that upholds the law!"

Agent Miller snorted, turned around with his men, got into two unmarked black Ford police cars parked on the side of the road, and drove away.

Watching the group of philanderers leave, Constance and Chen Dong walked side by side to the reception room on the first floor. "Be careful lately. They won't come looking for you for no reason. If you encounter any problems, remember, don't answer any of their questions. Keep quiet and have someone call me. I'll handle it for you."

"I know, Cons."
