Chapter 148

Wanchai power cut!

Big fire!

The entire Wanchai was in a mess.

Li Huanggua started using manpower to eliminate the influence, removing the keywords about the cable bridge catching fire from the news, and then investigating whether anyone deliberately started the fire at the scene.

Then find some media to report the cause of the fire, pushing it to the aging of the house and electrical leakage. Truth or not truth is not important, what's important is to confuse the public, reduce the citizens' hatred, and dilute the conflict.

Police cars and fire trucks kept sounding all night.

Burning 8 buildings in a row, finally extinguished by firefighters.

No one knew how many people were killed or injured, only the police and fire department knew.

As for the losses, 8 buildings, thousands of households, this loss calculated simply makes people's scalps numb.

And the Social Welfare Department was already overwhelmed, even contacting Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, wanting Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to send manpower to help.

Li Huanggua's side was already overwhelmed, not expecting the influence caused to be so great, 8 buildings, and people who died, how much compensation responsibility is this, even if there is insurance it's useless, he was a bit afraid to admit it was the fire caused by the cable bridge.

Called the police and fire department overnight to discuss a plan.

A new day,

All Hong Kong newspapers reported this matter.

More than 30 media reported 'suspected' 'possibly' that someone used coal gas, electrical appliances improperly, causing a fire in the house, leading to burning...

And 14 media reported that someone ignited the cable bridge, leading to the burning of the cable bridge.

There were also quite a few media reporting that the cable bridge aging caused the fire.

And TVB, Asia TV news both reported 'the cause of the fire is under investigation, everything is subject to the investigation results of the fire department'.

Causeway Bay side,

Brother Wu Ying was eating with Su Jianqiu at Kowloon Ice Room,

"Bang~~~"

"These newspapers, are they all blind? It was clearly the cable bridge that caught fire, but they say it was caused by improper use of coal gas and electrical appliances!"

Su Jianqiu slapped the newspaper on the table, filled with righteous indignation,

"They are all eating shit, reporting randomly!"

"Not reporting randomly, but on purpose."

Last night he led people to help maintain order, the affected citizens had elderly, had children, some were buried in the sea of fire, some were burned and rescued, some suffered heavy losses...

Making Su Jianqiu couldn't help but feel compassion,

As a result, this Li Huanggua didn't want to admit it directly?

This made Su Jianqiu very angry.

Kowloon Ice Room had quite a few guests at this time, hearing Brother Wu Ying's words, one after another, others were also filled with righteous indignation.

"Right."

"Estimated that Li Huanggua's side put in effort, making the media not report it."

"Last night TVB even reported it was the cable bridge on fire, today I can't see it anymore, saying it's waiting for the fire department's investigation."

"This is trying to evade responsibility."

"These businessmen, none of them have a conscience."

"My shop, all the ice cream melted, loss of several hundred!"

"My loss is even greater, the seafood in the seafood stall, all stank, loss of over ten thousand."

One of the seafood stall bosses, the angriest, cursed.

Soon,

The entire Kowloon Ice Room was filled with condemnation of Li Huanggua.

On the other side,

Chen Yongren was watching the news at home with his wife Ah May, he couldn't make breakfast, and Ah May was about to give birth, inconvenient to make breakfast, so Chen Yongren went down early in the morning to buy breakfast, and bought a few newspapers by the way.

As a result, looking at it, most of the newspapers distorted the facts, not mentioning the cable aging causing the fire at all.

Then he understood that Li Huanggua wanted to dilute the conflict and didn't want to compensate.

He was immediately very angry.

Boxing gym side.

A neighbor found Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu immediately.

"Ah Zu, my cousin's house was burned down, please help him, uphold justice for us."

"Uncle, what does upholding justice mean?"

"It's like this, my cousin called the Huanggua Group, but they didn't admit it was the fire they caused, and didn't want to compensate. You say, this bunch of dead bastards really have no conscience, turning black into white, so rich, and don't even want to give compensation."

Uncle cursed.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu shook his head directly: "Uncle, it's too early to talk about compensation with them now, because the fire department's fire cause investigation report hasn't come out yet."

"Is there any need to wait for their results? Last night so many people saw the cable bridge burning."

"We need to be based on the official investigation results. Please rest assured, we should believe in the government, believe in the fire department!"

After hearing this, Uncle could only leave helplessly.

Not long after, another neighbor ran over, saying a relative was burned to death on Shantou Street, requesting Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's help.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu continued to use the excuse that the official investigation results hadn't come out, and refused.

All morning,

About twenty batches of neighbors ran over, requesting help.

All were refused by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

By the afternoon, even neighbors from Shantou Street ran over, some felt Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was a good person and wanted to try asking Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu for help; some heard Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was a good person, a great philanthropist, willing to help neighbors.

Now on Shantou Street, it was already a bit agitated.

Because there were rumors that Li Huanggua refused to pay money.

This rumor didn't know where it spread from, spreading wider and wider.

And Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's side, more neighbors came in the afternoon, some with relatives in Causeway Bay, some from Shantou Street.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu refused them all using the excuse that the official announcement hadn't come out.

Chen Yongren and Su Jianqiu should have been busy with the school matter at this time, but they came together.

"Brother Zu!"

"Why did you come?"

"It's about last night, some students from Southeast Middle School lived on Shantou Street, today more than a dozen parents called, begging us for help."

"Brother Zu, you just help them."

They two were very surprised after hearing Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu refused the neighbors' request, so they ran over to ask.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu called Chen Yongren and Su Jianqiu into the office and closed the door.

"Of course I want to help them."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said with a serious face,

"But now the timing is wrong, if we rashly stand out, we will be targeted by Li Huanggua."

"What kind of strength does that person have? Even the Governor has to give face."

"What about us? Our influence at most reaches the senior police leadership, whether the Commissioner gives face or not depends on whether the benefits you give are enough."

"Wrestling with Li Huanggua? How can we be reckless?"

After Chen Yongren and Su Jianqiu heard this, they immediately showed caution.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said: "We still have to wait, wait for the announcement to come out, wait for more angry people, then we can 'be forced' to stand out, you know?"

Chen Yongren and Su Jianqiu nodded upon hearing this: "Understood."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu added: "If we want to help those neighbors get justice, we need to do a lot of things."

"First, we need to collect evidence, find eyewitnesses to the cable bridge catching fire."

"Also, we need to count the number of deaths and the family situation!"

"Also, we need to find some media that dare to report, don't let it be that even the media doesn't dare to report, then we'll be blind!"

"I will arrange these two things."

"I'll do it!" Chen Yongren said.

"I'll join too!" Su Jianqiu said.

"Get out!" Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu said angrily, "The school matter is what you should be busy with... by the way, that laughing, transfer him over, let him do these things."

Chen Yongren nodded: "Good!"

Night,

Night fell, lights came on.

The prosperity of Wanchai, set off by the neon lights, was exceptionally eye-catching.

A newly opened small Western restaurant, the light wasn't bright, tables were set with tulips and candles.

A man and a woman were sneaking around eating steak and pasta here, chatting.

"It's so dark here, and not in Causeway Bay, no one should have discovered us, right?"

"Shouldn't."

"Your Causeway Bay is really too terrifying, I don't dare to go anymore." "The neighbors are a bit enthusiastic."

"Now the entire Wanchai is discussing the fire, no time to pay attention to us."

These two were Gao Jin and Wei Yingzi who came to eat secretly.

After eating steak and pasta for almost an hour, and chatting for another hour, looking at the time, Wei Yingzi said: "I have to go back."

Gao Jin nodded: "I'll send you."

The two left the Western restaurant and got into Gao Jin's Mercedes.

Gao Jin drove the car, carrying Wei Yingzi away from the Western restaurant.

Wei Yingzi tilted her head, looking at Gao Jin, wow, truly handsome!

"Wait..."

Suddenly, Wei Yingzi seemed to see a man grabbing another man through the glass on Gao Jin's side, entering a pitch-black alley, looking aggressive.

Something happened?!

Wei Yingzi hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"

!.

Brake————

Gao Jin stopped the car quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"There's a case!"

Wei Yingzi flew out of the car, ran to the alley across the road, and when she reached the small alley, she stopped and carefully observed the enemy situation.

Gao Jin naturally followed out of the car.

Wei Yingzi saw inside the alley, a man was beating another man, the other man wasn't fighting back, possibly injured.

"Stop!"

Wei Yingzi rushed in, vigilantly looking at Song Zijie, taking out her ID: "I am Wanchai Police Station officer Wei Yingzi!"

"Please stop your violent behavior immediately!"

Song Zijie, Song Zihao: "............"

Gao Jin walked into the alley, saw Song Zihao, Song Zijie: "............"

What a coincidence!

Gao Jin hooked his arm around Wei Yingzi's neck and said to Song Zijie and Song Zihao: "Cough cough, you two continue, we didn't see anything."

Dragged her away directly.

Wei Yingzi was dragged, her feet plowing the ground: "Why?"

Gao Jin said helplessly: "They are brothers, that short one is an Inspector of the Hong Kong Island Regional Headquarters, you have to call him 'Sir'."

"Ah?" Wei Yingzi was stunned.

"Let's go~~"

"Oh oh~~"

Gao Jin dragged Wei Yingzi away, waving at Song Zihao and Song Zijie: "Bye bye."

Got into the car and sped away.

Disturbed by Wei Yingzi and Gao Jin, the tense atmosphere between Song Zijie and Song Zihao suddenly vanished.

However, Song Zijie was still very angry: "Why are you still following that Long Si, could it be you still want to do what you did before? Do you know it was because of your business that Dad died!"

"Wait!" Song Zihao frowned: "How do you know the counterfeit banknotes came from Fourth Brother's side?"

Song Zijie sneered: "Nonsense, how could I not know?"

Song Zihao whispered: "Your boss has already started investigating Fourth Brother?"

Song Zijie snorted, didn't say, he couldn't tell Song Zihao the police force's secrets.

However, Song Zihao had already guessed the general situation: "Who is your boss? I remember it's surnamed Wu?"

Song Zijie: "None of your business! Don't change the subject, I'm asking you, are you going to get involved with counterfeit banknotes again?"

Song Zihao shook his head: "I heard Fourth Brother's shipyard had counterfeit banknotes flowing out, it was his subordinate Gao Yingpei playing tricks behind Fourth Brother's back, Fourth Brother has already washed his hands of it, I naturally don't want him to take the fall, so I ran to investigate."

Song Zijie sneered repeatedly: "Make it up, keep making it up, such a big matter of counterfeit banknotes, I don't believe Long Si wouldn't know!"

Song Zihao: "Therefore, I have to investigate."

Song Zijie breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew his big brother quite well, such a matter, he couldn't lie to him.

His tone softened: "Don't go investigating, it's very dangerous."

Song Zihao shook his head: "No, Fourth Brother is my master, I must investigate clearly."

After speaking,

Song Zihao left.

Song Zijie looked at Song Zihao's back silently, thought for a moment, and made a call to Chen Guozhong.

"Ah Tou, are you free?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Have a new piece of intelligence."

Half an hour later, Song Zijie arrived at Chen Guozhong's home.

Chen Guozhong, a bachelor, had a very monotonous home, also quite messy, no hostess.

"Ah Tou."

"You're here, sit."

Chen Guozhong was watching TVB, beckoned to Song Zijie: "Just a bit bored, watching TV... come, together."

Song Zijie couldn't help but say: "Ah Tou, the case..."

Chen Guozhong said helplessly: "Ah Jie, you don't need to push yourself so hard, handling a case, you have to talk about relaxation... also, your daughter is about to be born, you should accompany your wife well."

Song Zijie was silent for a moment.

He didn't know when he developed this personality of pushing himself.

When was it?

Perhaps it started the moment Dad died in front of him.

Chen Guozhong asked: "Tell me, what is it?"

Song Zijie hurriedly said: "Just now I met Song Zihao, he said he found that counterfeit banknotes might be caused by Long Si's subordinate Gao Yingpei, he is now contacting Long Si, wanting to investigate him and Gao Yingpei."

Song Zijie thought Chen Guozhong would be very surprised, but Chen Guozhong's words surprised him instead.

"He actually told you all this?"

Song Zijie was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Chen Guozhong said: "Your brother Song Zihao is now in contact with Superintendent Huang, counting as Superintendent Huang's informant. Next, he will cooperate with us to destroy this counterfeit banknote group. But Superintendent Huang only told me about this, you can't spread it either, you know?"

"Ah?"

Song Zijie was truly surprised.

Song Zihao actually got in touch with Superintendent Huang.

"No, why is he taking risks?"

Chen Guozhong laughed: "Of course it's for you, you brat, this time he made a contribution, in the future Superintendent Huang will also take care of you more."

Song Zijie's heart shook: "He..."

At this moment, there was actually an urge to shed tears.

Song Zijie instantly shook off this feeling that made him feel ashamed and angry, and said seriously to Chen Guozhong: "Ah Tou, I also want to go undercover!"

"Impossible!"

Chen Guozhong refused decisively: "You are an active police officer, most criminal organizations recognize that face of yours, you go undercover? Treating others like idiots!"

"Also, your wife is about to give birth to a baby, you go undercover? Aren't you afraid you'll die, and the baby won't have a father!"

Song Zijie: "I..."

For a time, all words were stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken.

Chen Guozhong patted Song Zijie's shoulder: "About the case, don't worry too much, focus on waiting for the baby to be born, when the case is final, let you fire a few shots, your contribution won't be less."

It has to be said, Chen Guozhong was truly good to his subordinates.

Song Zijie was moved in his heart: "Good, Ah Tou."

In his heart, he couldn't help but worry about Song Zihao.

At this time, his resentment towards Song Zihao had already vanished into thin air.
