Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Now is the time for Peregrine to fulfill her promise!

Pei Relin looked at the inspector in front of her and said slowly, "Xiao is my friend. If you want to take Xiao away, you should give me an explanation!"

Chapter 451. I didn't know, I wasn't involved, I'm innocent! (Please subscribe!)

Seeing Pei Leilin stand up for Xiao Shan, the inspector was also at a loss.

After a moment of hesitation, the inspector looked at Pei Relin cautiously and said, "I'm sorry, Your Grace, I was only following orders from my superiors to take Mr. Li back to assist with the investigation!"

“To the best of my knowledge, you currently have no evidence whatsoever to support the accusations made against Xiao!” Peregrine said slowly to the inspector. “Please tell me your superior’s name, and I will speak with him personally.”

Upon hearing Peregrine's words, the inspector's face showed a troubled expression.

At this critical juncture, revealing the name of any of his superiors would directly offend them!

Fortunately, the inspector ordered his men to remove the reporters as soon as he arrived; otherwise, who knows how many photos they would have taken of us!

Seeing that the inspector remained silent, Pei Reglin said with a serious expression, "The Empire has the responsibility and obligation to guarantee the rights of any law-abiding citizen. Since Mr. Xiao came to Hong Kong, he has not participated in anything other than participating in unrestricted fighting competitions."

"You must know this fact after investigating for so many days, right?"

Upon hearing what Peregrine said, the inspector couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Pei Leilin was absolutely right. After so many days of investigation, they had indeed found no evidence of collusion between Xiao Shan and Tan Chengjia.

No contact was found between Xiaoshan and those non-governmental organizations.

However, since Xiao Shan had come to Hong Kong with Tan Chengjia, the investigators were still unwilling to believe that Xiao Shan had nothing to do with the matter.

In recent days, investigators have not obtained any useful information from either members of NGOs or from Tan Chengjia.

This left the investigators feeling quite frustrated.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have risked offending Peregrine by trying to take Xiao Shan out for investigation time and time again.

After much deliberation, the inspector came up with a compromise: "Your Excellency, we are simply at a loss with no leads or progress in our investigation, which is why we would like to ask Mr. Xiao Shan to come back with us to assist in the investigation. We are not sending him back as a prisoner."

"However, since Mr. Xiao Shan is your friend, we can understand your feelings! Could we take Mr. Xiao Shan upstairs to the exhibition room now and ask him a few simple questions?"

"Of course, please allow us to conduct a search of Mr. Xiao Shan to ensure that there are no suspicious documents. After that, we will not disturb Mr. Xiao Shan any further."

The inspector adopted a very humble attitude, so even Peregrine couldn't say anything.

So he looked at Xiaoshan and asked for his opinion.

Xiaoshan is naturally upright and has nothing to fear.

Anyway, the information is all in his space, so these notes can't possibly find anything.

“I’m willing to be investigated,” Xiao Shan said to Pei Leilin with a smile.

Seeing that Xiao Shan was giving her face, Pei Leilin couldn't help but nod slightly in her heart.

The inspector breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Shan cooperating so well, but his heart sank at the same time.

Based on his years of experience, since this young man was so generous in agreeing to the body search and questioning, it seemed they wouldn't get anything out of him today.

But since the words had already been spoken, the inspector had no choice but to bite the bullet and take Xiao Shan to the observation room on the second floor.

In the observation room, the inspector said to Xiao Shan very politely, "Mr. Xiao Shan, please take off all your clothes, but you can keep your underwear on."

The inspector also knew that the stolen documents were a thick stack and could not possibly have been hidden in underwear.

Xiao Shan readily took off his clothes and neatly laid them out on the bed.

The inspector found nothing in Xiao Shan's clothes and could only disappointingly tell Xiao Shan to put them on.

After Xiao Shan finished dressing, the inspector began questioning him.

"Mr. Xiao Shan, what is your relationship with Tan Chengjia?"

"Temporary colleague."

Why did they come to Hong Kong with you?

"It was arranged by the factory, and I will obey the factory's arrangements!"

……

The inspector wrote down all of Xiao Shan's answers in his notebook: "So what's your relationship like in private? Has he ever told you about Hong Kong NGOs?"

“We have a casual relationship, and I have never heard of any non-governmental organizations.”

Next, Xiaoshan started to act as if he knew nothing when asked.

When asked, I said I didn't know; when asked, I said I wasn't involved; when asked, I said I was innocent.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of Xiao Shan, the inspector, though unwilling, still took Xiao Shan downstairs and handed him to Pei Relin: "Your Grace, we have searched the place, and your friend is not suspicious at all. We made a mistake before! Here, we express our sincerest apologies to you!"

With that, the inspector bowed deeply to Peregrine.

Peregrine nodded generously: "I know you're doing this for the Empire! As long as you don't harass my friends in the future, I'll forgive you!"

After both sides reached an agreement, the inspector quickly left the competition venue with his team.

Xiao Shan knew very well that these John Bull investigators would no longer bother him.

At most, the border checks will be very strict when I am about to leave Hong Kong.

After inviting Xiao Shan and his group to a lavish dinner, Pei Leilin sent them back to Luo Leming's manor.

The next morning, the people from the two casinos unusually and conscientiously delivered money to Xiao Shan and Allen.

After all, the fact that Xiao Shan was betting at the casino attracted many people to place bets at the two underground casinos.

Furthermore, Xiaoshan's unexpected victory in this competition has made both casinos incredibly wealthy.

Therefore, the two casinos treated Xiao Shan, their "god of wealth," with great respect.

Xiaoshan received a total of £25 from the two casinos!

After receiving the money, Xiao Shan immediately went to a Swiss bank with Allen and deposited it.

Afterwards, the two went to the Lou family's house to sign the cooperation agreement.

Lou Bancheng had already communicated with the lawyers at the law firm.

So when they saw Xiao Shan and Allen arrive, they immediately sent someone to the law firm to invite a lawyer.

While waiting for the lawyer, Xiao Shan said to Lou Bancheng, "Uncle Lou, I should be leaving Hong Kong in the next day or two. If you encounter any trouble then, just go to Director Luo Leming. He will help you."

“That’s right!” Allen nodded. “I’ve already told my cousin about this!”

Chapter 452, A Successful Return! (Please Subscribe!)

After listening to Xiao Shan and Allen's words, Lou Bancheng felt even more confident.

With the Secretary for Administration protecting them, they no longer need to worry about the gang wars in Hong Kong affecting their businesses.

He also believed that no gang would dare to charge them protection money again.

Soon, the lawyers from the law firm arrived.

With a lawyer present, the three people from Xiaoshan signed the agreement.

Xiao Shan and Allen both wrote Lou Bancheng a check for the amount they had agreed upon beforehand.

After leaving the check, Xiao Shan and Allen returned to the manor.

After returning to the manor, Xiao Shan transferred the remaining pounds in his account to Allen, asking him to continue helping him purchase real estate and land in Hong Kong.

After lunch, Xiao Shan handed their passports to Allen and asked them to help them complete the formalities so they could leave Hong Kong as soon as possible.

After all, the sooner he leaves Hong Kong, the sooner he can rescue Tan Chengjia, who is imprisoned.

Although Tan Chengjia is not in mortal danger in John's hands, he will likely suffer physical pain.

After receiving the stack of passports from Xiao Shan, Allen went to process the paperwork for Xiao Shan without hesitation.

Thanks to Allen's intervention, Xiao Shan and his group were granted the right to leave Hong Kong during dinner that afternoon.

The next morning, they were able to leave Hong Kong and return to Beijing!

The investigators quickly received news that Xiao Shan was about to leave Hong Kong.

However, they have promised Pei Leilin that they will not harass Xiaoshan again without evidence.

Otherwise, it would be openly opposing the Duke of the Empire, Peregrine.

But the current situation is just too tense!

Those they captured all kept their mouths shut, refusing to reveal a single clue about the whereabouts of the information.

They've been searching Hong Kong for days, but they haven't found anything.

Many people suspect that the information should be on Xiao Shan!

But the problem is that they also searched Xiao Shan's body and found nothing at all!

Therefore, all they can do now is increase the severity of punishment for Tan Chengjia and others, hoping that one of them will give in and implicate Xiao Shan, thus preventing Xiao Shan from leaving Hong Kong smoothly.

Once they implicate Xiao Shan, they can openly arrest him, making it much easier to extract information from him.

That night, Tan Chengjia was interrogated all night long.

However, he remained defiant. Even though he had been repeatedly hinted that he could be released immediately if he admitted that Xiao Shan was involved in their actions, he still did not budge.

Tan Chengjia knew very well that the foreigners' sudden and intensive interrogation was somewhat due to their anger and embarrassment.

There is only one possibility: Xiaoshan is about to leave Hong Kong.

That's why these foreigners, in their desperation, would try anything and keep giving him hints.

Upon realizing this possibility, Tan Chengjia's spirits lifted.

Even though he was locked in a prison where he couldn't see a ray of sunlight, he still felt the ray of sunshine that belonged to victory.

The next day, as the first rays of sunlight shone into Xiao Shan's room, he immediately sat up.

His luggage was packed last night.

Like Xiao Shan, Yang Tai and the others had packed their luggage early on.

After Xiao Shan and the others finished breakfast with Luo Leming and Allen, the manor's servants loaded their luggage into the car.

Allen and Luo Leming also got into the car with Xiao Shan and his group, preparing to take them to the dock.

Soon, the convoy carrying Xiao Shan and his group arrived at the dock.

Xiao Shan and his group were taken to an empty room by customs inspectors for a thorough search.

Their luggage will also be thoroughly searched.

Unfortunately, even with such a thorough search, the inspectors still couldn't find what they were looking for.

Left with no other option, customs officials stamped Xiao Shan and his companions' passports, allowing them to leave the port.

At the dock, Xiao Shan waved goodbye to Luo Leming and Allen from a distance of five meters. The prosecutors were afraid that Xiao Shan would smuggle the folder out through Allen and Luo Leming.

Therefore, after the inspection, Xiao Shan was no longer allowed to have contact with the two.

Soon, the ship sounded its horn, and Xiaoshan's group officially boarded the ship and left the port of Xiangjiang.

After drifting at sea for two and a half hours, the ship finally arrived at the port.

Yang Tai and his group, who had finally set foot on Guangzhou's territory, breathed a sigh of relief.

When they came out, Tan Chengjia kept all the letters of introduction.

When Xiao Shan was cleaning Tan Chengjia's luggage, he did not find a letter of introduction in his bag.

It was probably taken away by those investigators.

Therefore, the organization was unaware of their return today.

So after Xiao Shan disembarked, he used the phone at the dock to call Li Huaide.

"Hello? Factory Manager, this is Xiaoshan. We are currently at the dock in Yangcheng. Could you contact the Yangcheng authorities to arrange for a car to pick us up and take us to the Yangcheng train station?"

Li Huaide received a call from Xiao Shan, informing him that Xiao Shan and his team had successfully arrived at the dock in Guangzhou. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he had a million questions he wanted to ask Xiao Shan.

"No problem, just stay at the dock and don't wander around. I'll arrange a car to pick you up right away! By the way, Xiaoshan, are you alright? Did the trip go smoothly?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's question, Xiao Shan sighed: "It didn't go very smoothly, but I completed the task assigned by the organization, and there's also..."
