Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.

While eating, drinking, and chatting, Erhei vaguely felt that Prosecutor Hong and Captain Tawei seemed a little different than before.

There was a sudden knock on the restaurant's glass door, and Tawi quickly got up and went to open it.

Erhei was completely bewildered, but then he saw that the person walking in from outside was Wu Dong, the captain of Team A. He had a cold expression and was followed by several detectives.

"Prosecutor Hong, you have a computer upstairs, right? Could you please take us up there? We suspect you have connections to the 3R crime syndicate and that you provided money to suspects Xiaohong and Xiaofen to purchase goods, which were then resold to their friends!"

"No..." Erhei was about to stand up to explain when Tawei frowned and said, "Sit down!"

Zhou Hong glanced at Wu Dong, then at Tawi, and smiled slightly: "What do you mean? You want to see my computer? Do you have a search warrant?"

"Prosecutor Hong, because of your special status, I'm willing to bear the consequences of forcibly searching your belongings. I hope you won't force us to use force," Wu Dong said coldly. He added, "From now on, you are not allowed to contact anyone!"

Zhou Hong shrugged and stood up: "Alright, then you know what the consequences will be. Come with me!"

……

Half an hour later, a middle-aged detective who understood Chinese was working on Zhou Hong's laptop, his face covered in sweat.

Wu Dong's face was extremely grim, and he kept asking, "Still can't find it?"

"Prosecutor Hong, your email password..." The middle-aged detective glanced at Zhou Hong somewhat awkwardly.

After checking for a long time, I found that QQ doesn't require a password. Hongjian provided the login password, and I could log in by double-clicking QQ. But where is there any way to save the server's communication records?

Under Wu Dong's instruction, he rummaged through the folders on the hard drive again, but found nothing. Then he suddenly remembered that he wondered if he could find any illegal evidence in the email.

It's not about finding communication records now, but other violations or similar discoveries would be good too, right?

Zhou Hong was amused, but his face gradually darkened: "You've been too lenient with yourselves, haven't you? Do you know how many laws you've broken by now?"

Tawi's face was the most unpleasant, because ever since Zhou Hong revealed the secrets of the QQ communication records, he hadn't left Zhou Hong's side except to secretly notify Wu Dong, for fear that the young prosecutor Hong would suddenly realize what was going on and go upstairs to delete the records.

The problem is that Zhou Hong just kept eating and drinking, didn't even go to the toilet once, and didn't contact anyone.

"You, you tricked us?!" Tawi finally realized what was happening and glared at Zhou Hong through gritted teeth.

"I'll screw you over! You traitor, how much have you taken from me?! If you don't settle accounts with me and pay me back every single one of them, Tawi, I'll make sure you regret this for the rest of your life!" Zhou Hong's face was icy cold.

"Prosecutor Hong, you must tell me your email password!" Wu Dong looked at Zhou Hong coldly.

Given the current situation, we must find something to have a chance to turn things around.

"Wu Dong, you won't let me go out now, right? You even want my email password. Are you threatening me with force?" Zhou Hong grinned at him.

"So what if it is?" Wu Dong's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

Zhou Hong looked at him quietly.

Another corrupt cop who has become accustomed to doing whatever he wants, not to mention that he now has instructions from above.

"So, if I don't tell you the password, will you kill me? Or will you torture me?" Zhou Hong asked.

Just as Wu Dong was about to speak, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "You have a recording pen on you, right? Take it out!"

"We do have a voice recorder!" Zhou Hong smiled. "However, since you weren't aware of it, the recording cannot be used as evidence."

After a pause, Zhou Hong continued, "Okay, let me outline the illegal activities you might have committed since arriving at the Cinnamon Restaurant tonight, and see if you still want to continue!"

"Your purpose in coming here is actually very simple: to find evidence that I had financial dealings or even intimate relationships with the two victims. Although you have violated the rules, as long as you can solidify my failure to declare my relationships with the two victims, I, as a mere intern, might be fired. I will have no hope of becoming an assistant prosecutor and will have to change careers. Therefore, your minor violations are of no concern because they are authorized by higher-ups."

"Your exaggerated claims that I'm colluding with some drug cartel are just to scare me. You were sent here on my behalf, and you never intended to kill me." There's something I didn't say: I'm from Bangkok, after all, with a mysterious background. Even if you really wanted to kill me, you wouldn't dare.

"Actually, if you had stopped before we found any evidence, you would have just received an internal reprimand, nothing serious."

"The problem is, Wudong, you've been blinded by your excitement. You came here full of enthusiasm, thinking you'd accomplished something great, but you've hit a wall and are now so angry that your mind is no longer clear."

"Are you really going to forcibly detain me and force me to reveal my email password? You should know that if there's nothing you're looking for in my email, your actions could lead to your expulsion from the police force. My email contains confidential business documents, and I suspect you're accepting bribes and acting as corporate spies!"

"So, the choice is yours!" Zhou Hong glanced at the detectives.

"Udon, let's go..." Tawi backed down first, and now he was filled with regret.

Although this outsider, Hong Jian, despite his powerful family and wealth, was of no help to me in my official career, to turn around and betray him? I really don't know where I got the guts.

Being received by "that person" made him so excited that he lost his mind.

"Fuck you, you useless piece of trash!" Wu Dong was furious. "Isn't it all because of you that I'm in this situation?"

Suddenly drawing his gun and pointing it at Zhou Hong, Wu Dong coldly said, "Tell me your email password!"

"Udon, do you know that if you continue knowing that I have a recording device, I can declare in court that your knowledge of the recording device means that you consented to being recorded?"

"Tell me the password!" Wu Dong remained unmoved, a murderous glint appearing in his eyes.

Zhou Hong turned his head and said to Tawi, "Tell him about the business documents in my email, and the potential scale of the money involved." He grinned at Tawi.

What? Tawi was baffled. Suddenly, he had a jolt and remembered that he had once overheard Prosecutor Hong on the phone talking about an investment of several hundred million US dollars.

I didn't take it too seriously. In my social circle, many people use phone calls to brag about themselves, but there's no guarantee that anyone will answer.

But the question is, what if it's true? Given Hong Jian's extravagant spending habits, could it really be true?

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me the password!" Wu Dong said coldly.

"Alright, then there's not much room for negotiation. I'll tell you!" Zhou Hong smiled and revealed the password.

Soon, the middle-aged detective exclaimed happily, "It's done!"

Wu Dong immediately went over to take a look, but most of the emails were in English and Chinese, with very few in Thai.

The middle-aged detective opened the Thai email, and as he read it, both Wu Dong and the middle-aged detective's expressions changed drastically.

The middle-aged detective checked the Chinese emails again, his face gradually turning pale.

Wu Dong suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Hong.

Zhou Hong smiled and said, "You don't have many choices now." He pointed to the corner of the ceiling and said, "There's a high-resolution camera there. It's on when I'm not around. My security guards are monitoring it from next door, and with the recording, I think no judge would disagree with the evidence I provide regarding what happened here."

"Damn it!" Wu Dong reached for the gun again, "Bang!" He was struck hard on the neck and fell backward, unconscious.

……

Wu Dong woke up slowly and suddenly saw Zhou Hong's face opposite him. He jumped up and reached for the gun, but was pulled back by his left and right sides.

Looking again, he saw himself sitting on a long sofa, and those who were stopping him were his subordinates.

He brought five detectives with him, who were now sitting obediently on the sofa with him. Some of his five men had bruises on their faces, while others were fine, but all of them looked like they had lost their parents.

"Wu Dong, I'll say it again, you don't have many choices left." Zhou Hong sat across from him at the coffee table, slowly sipping his tea, and said, "Let me show you something."

A man in black, who appeared out of nowhere, turned on the TV and inserted a disc into the DVD player below.

The video played in fast motion, showing several people from Wudong pushing Zhou Hongjin into Suite No. 1, clearly all under surveillance.

Huh? Wu Dong was suddenly stunned, only to see on the surveillance footage that Zhou Hong had swiftly knocked him down. Anyone who resisted was instantly subdued by Zhou Hong. Finally, two men, whose faces were unharmed, were forced to kneel down after Zhou Hong pulled out a gun and pointed it at them.

"Although my security forces could subdue you as easily as killing ants, the surveillance footage is evidence I need to submit to the court. It's not a problem if my bodyguards are there, but it would be a bit redundant and would require more investigation reports. That's why I took matters into my own hands."

Wu Dong's face was ashen, and he looked somewhat bewildered. Was he dreaming? Or was it a terrible nightmare?

"Like I said before, you don't have many choices left. Now, it's your turn to make your choices!" Zhou Hong clapped his hands.

Two men in black took the man away, leaving only Wu Dong in the room.

"Alright, now tell me, who do you think is the mastermind behind the psychedelic water case?"

Paper and pen were placed in front of Wu Dong.

Zhou Hong continued, "Right now, you and they are all in separate rooms, but you're all being asked the same questions." He smiled slightly, "You're being illegally detained, but there's really no evidence."

Wu Dong remained silent.

Zhou Hong continued, "The second question is, are you willing to help me investigate this case thoroughly?"

"The third question is about the person you believe is protecting you, and other illegal activities you are aware of."

"These are the three questions. Whoever answers them best, I'll consider letting you go. Wu Dong, you know I don't need to do anything to deal with you. Just what you're doing now, my teacher will definitely send you to jail. You, Captain, what will you face once you're in prison? Oh, your ass is quite something..."

Wu Dong suddenly shuddered.

"Think about it carefully. I'll give you half an hour to consider it. Someone will come to collect your answer in half an hour."

"Oh, the way out I'm offering is for the whole family to leave this place and live the rest of their lives in the glitz and glamour of the world. You've seen my email, you know I have that ability, right?!"

After saying that, Zhou Hong leisurely got up and left.
