Chapter 203
Mao Xiang Yang sat by the wooden table, his brows tightly locked, deliberating word by word as he wrote the letter:
"Respected Leader:
"On this quiet night, I take up my pen to write this letter, my heart filled with endless worry and unease. Today, our educational cause encountered a sudden setback, which makes me feel deeply pained and helpless.
"The matter is like this: the Li family of Causeway Bay actually filed a complaint against us to the Education Department and united with relevant personnel from the Political Department to arrest me...
"What is even more unacceptable is that the Education Department has already made a decision, ordering me to stop continuing to carry out the history education cause. For us, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow, the result we least want to see, and it is heartbreaking..."
"This Li family, clearly they have already surrendered to us, but they did such a thing, and it was even in collusion with a department of the nature of the Political Department... I have reason to suspect..."
Although Mao Xiang Yang was rigid, at this time, under his anger, he couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
Since 1983, one after another, wealthy businessmen and forces had run to secretly rely on the North, especially the Li family. Although they had long started to whitewash themselves, their foundation was there, so they were very guilty and had long entrusted the Fok family to express their sincerity to the North.
And now... they actually did such a thing!
And they even colluded with the Political Department!
A crime on top of a crime!
Lido Hotel,
A private room, rare seafood displayed on the dining table.
Li Chang was having a meal with Ma Ersi from the Education Department for the second time.
"Young Master Li, there is one thing I must regretfully tell you. Today, the Chief specifically called me to his office and said that the punishment for Southeast Middle School is to be revoked."
"What? Revoked?!"
Li Chang was shocked, pondered for a moment, and realized: "That Director Guan Zu, he knows your Chief?"
Ma Ersi: "That's right,"
Li Chang frowned.
This Director Guan Zu actually knows the Chief of the Education Department?
This is a bit impressive.
Not only does this Director Guan Zu have a good relationship with the senior police leadership, but he also has a relationship with the leaders of the Education Department. What is the reason for this?
He is just a gangster after all.
The only possibility is—bribery!
Li Chang couldn't help but curse his assistant, why didn't he directly invite the biggest leader of the Education Department? Instead, he found a small fry like Ma Ersi.
Now it's good, Director Guan Zu didn't suffer any damage?
Doesn't that make me, Li Chang, a clown jumping up and down?
Ma Ersi looked apologetic: "I'm very sorry, I didn't help you with this matter."
That's what he said, but asking him to return the money is impossible!
Li Chang really wanted to say "Damn it, return the money!", but he also knew it couldn't be returned, so he could only say politely: "No, no, I'm already very grateful to Mr. Ma Ersi."
A meal, ended after more than an hour.
Li Chang had originally prepared a second half for Ma Ersi, but now it was directly canceled.
After Ma Ersi left, Li Chang returned to the presidential suite.
The Lido Hotel is an industry of the Li family, and Li Chang has a fixed presidential suite here.
"Knock knock~~~"
"Young Master, just received a piece of news." The assistant walked in.
"Speak."
"This afternoon, that Mao Xiang Yang has already left the Political Department."
"What?"
Li Chang was really shocked this time, his brows tightly locked.
That is the Political Department, the Intelligence Bureau. Can you come out without losing a layer of skin after going in?
Director Guan Zu's hands are so long that he can reach over there and save someone?
Why do these foreigners help Director Guan Zu one after another?
Who exactly is the villain!
"Could it be that Director Guan Zu sent money to the Political Department again?"
Li Chang cursed inwardly,
Are these damn foreigners crazy for money?
Can this money be taken too?
Where is the pride of your Intelligence Bureau?
I look down on you all!
Li Chang had always felt that money could make ghosts push millstones, which was very satisfying. As a result, now that his opponent is also like this, he is a bit unhappy.
"However..."
Li Chang thought of his other two moves—ICAC, Tax Bureau.
Since the Education Department doesn't work, then the ICAC and Tax Bureau should start.
Li Chang dialed the phones of his friends in the ICAC and Tax Bureau respectively.
ICAC Yu Yu Hongsheng: "Don't worry, it's already prepared. Action tomorrow, I will lead the team personally."
Tax Bureau: "Tomorrow, I will go over personally..."
The assistant on the side watched all this and thought to himself: This Director Guan Zu, who is bad to provoke, why provoke Young Master Li Chang?
Of course, the assistant also knew that Director Guan Zu didn't do anything to offend Li Chang at all, but there is a saying: destroy you, what does it have to do with you?
Director Guan Zu provoking Young Master Li Chang to be unhappy is Director Guan Zu's crime.
He should receive a small punishment.
Southeast Middle School.
21:30...
Outside on the dark street, under the illumination of the lights, many parents were waiting for their children to finish school.
As the school bell rang, students from one class after another walked out of the school one after another, then met up with their parents and went home.
Ling Ling Shanshan walked out of the school gate and looked around, but couldn't see her sister Ling Zuer. (From "Law or Romance")
"Sister??"
"Sister!!"
She shouted many times but didn't see her sister come out.
She is 15 years old this year, in Form 4. She used to be a little delinquent and even went to steal cars. Later, under Chen Yongren's reform of Southeast Middle School, she gradually became well-behaved, studied hard, and in last month's monthly exam, she got 99th place in Form 4, making great progress.
"Strange, why didn't sister come to pick me up?"
At this time,
Chen Yongren walked out of the campus.
Seeing Ling Ling Shanshan, a classmate of Gao Hu and Ghost Eye, he happened to know her and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What? Your sister didn't come to pick you up today?"
Ling Ling Shanshan shook her head: "No, strange, she usually comes to pick me up."
Chen Yongren said: "How about I send you back."
When Ling Ling Shanshan heard this, she hurriedly said: "Thank you, Principal."
Chen Yongren, this principal, still had a very high status in the hearts of the students, but he was also very kind, a good principal who often mingled with the students.
After walking more than 100 meters, the two got into a Mercedes-Benz car, which was driven by Gao Gang.
In the car, Chen Yongren handed his phone to Ling Ling Shanshan: "Call your sister and see where she is."
Ling Ling Shanshan felt that the principal was very attentive and couldn't help but be a little moved. She picked up the phone and dialed, but after a long time, the call didn't go through.
Ling Ling Shanshan immediately had a bad premonition.
"Go back first and then talk!"
Gao Gang drove the car and headed towards Ling Ling Shanshan's home.
20 minutes later, arrived at Lockhart Road, Ling Ling Shanshan's home.
This section of the street is Xiamen Street, which happens to be Director Guan Zu's territory.
At this time, the three of them in the car could see several police cars parked downstairs.
Chen Yongren, Ling Ling Shanshan, and Gao Gang all realized something was wrong.
"Go, go upstairs!" Soon, they arrived at Ling Ling Shanshan's home. She and her sister Ling Zuer lived together, fatherless and motherless, the sisters depended on each other for survival, and Ling Zuer's identity was a model, often shooting model advertisements.
Outside the door, there were several police officers.
Ling Ling Shanshan realized the severity of the situation and rushed over.
"Sister!"
"Who are you?"
"This is my home?"
After a mess, Ling Ling Shanshan entered the house and saw her sister Ling Zuer sitting on the sofa, her body trembling, her face pale. There were several police officers in the house, and a policewoman was taking a statement from Ling Zuer, saying to Ling Zuer: "Don't take a bath today, keep the evidence."
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Ling Shanshan ran over.
Chen Yongren and Gao Gang frowned and walked over.
"Chen sir~"
!.
"Principal Chen~"
The police officers here were all from the Wan Chai Police Station. Originally, they didn't like Chen Yongren, who had resigned. Later, Chen Yongren ran the school vigorously, and the public sentiment soared, which made the police officers of the Wan Chai Police Station change their views on him greatly. And Huang Wang Zhicheng's matter was exposed in the last two days, which "whitewashed" Chen Yongren, and the police officers' attitude towards Chen Yongren began to become respectful.
At this time, the leader of the Regional Crime Unit, Inspector Fang Wei, walked out of the house and greeted Chen Yongren. (From "Law or Romance")
"Mr. Chen."
Chen Yongren handed over a cigarette: "That was my student just now, what happened here?"
Fang Wei said: "This lady reported to the police that she was raped by the photographer Devin. The specific process is that the photographer Devin came to the door to deliver photos, but used violence against her, tied her to a fitness rack, and then implemented..."
He roughly explained the process.
Chen Yongren's expression became serious.
Fang Wei looked at Chen Yongren: "This is your Hung Hing territory, I know your Hung Hing's way of doing things. But I advise you not to mess around. This Devin, I will definitely bring him to justice. Don't worry, the evidence is sufficient, he can't run..."
Chen Yongren nodded: "Good!"
Since the evidence is sufficient, he won't do extra things.
If the police can't handle it, then he also knows some methods.
After all, he, Chen Yongren, has been in the underworld for 4 years, he is not a purely good person!
The next day,
Early in the morning,
The lively Chen's Beef Rice Noodle Shop,
Director Guan Zu and Ruan Mei sat at the table.
The boss's technique was skillful. He first rolled the carefully sliced beef in the heat, the bright red color gradually turned dark, then scooped it up and placed it on a bowl of snow-white rice noodles, then scooped a spoonful of beef soup mixed with peanut oil, green onions, cilantro, and fried garlic, and poured it on top. A bowl of steaming, fragrant beef rice noodles was freshly released.
"This newly opened shop, the beef is not bad..."
Director Guan Zu took a bite, praise!
Ruan Mei took a small bite, the snow-white rice noodles sliding over her plump lips.
"It's really delicious~~"
This hits the nail on the head: high-end ingredients often only need the simplest cooking methods.
At this time,
Chen Yongren walked into the shop.
"Brother Zu."
"Why are you here? Come, come, come, this newly opened beef rice noodle shop is very good."
Director Guan Zu called the boss and ordered a portion for Chen Yongren.
After Chen Yongren thanked him, he started to say: "Yesterday on Xiamen Street, our territory, something happened..."
"There is a female model named Ling Zuer, who has been cooperating with a photographer named Devin for some time, and yesterday this Devin..."
Hearing halfway, Ruan Mei showed a look of disgust.
After Chen Yongren finished speaking, he added: "Her sister is named Ling Ling Shanshan, she is our student, and is a classmate of Gao Hu and Ghost Eye."
Director Guan Zu nodded: "Since it happened on our territory, and it also involved our school's students, naturally we have to manage this matter..."
This movie, Director Guan Zu is a bit familiar with it, after all, it is a movie about ****... well, everyone understands, right.
If Director Guan Zu remembers correctly, this Devin is the son of a wealthy businessman, and his uncle is friends with the great lawyer Ip Wing-man, who has never lost a case in the legal profession, and invited Ip Wing-man to defend him. In the end, the defense was successful, turning into: it wasn't rape, but a romantic game between lovers. Devin was seduced, and Ling Zuer deliberately seduced him to blackmail Devin for money.
After winning the lawsuit, Devin went even further, pasting the photos he took everywhere on the streets, stimulating Ling Zuer to a mental breakdown.
Later, Ling Ling Shanshan couldn't bear her sister being treated like this, so she went to set a trap for Devin, but instead was countered by Devin, who brought her home and raped her. On court again, he won the lawsuit again. The Ling sisters were completely ruined by Devin, and Devin didn't have any trouble at all.
And now,
Since Director Guan Zu knows about it, and it's his territory and his student, Director Guan Zu naturally has to intervene in this matter.
If the law can't punish, then I, Director Guan Zu, will punish!
Otherwise, didn't I, Director Guan Zu, come for nothing?
9 o'clock in the morning,
Five Star Property Company Headquarters, sunlight spilled on the white walls.
Two black sedans stopped steadily in front of the Five Star Property Company building, and the car doors opened.
Zhang sir from the Tax Bureau led a team of tax inspectors dressed in crisp suits and solemn expressions out of the car.
In a series of tight footsteps, they entered the main entrance of the Five Star Property Company directly.
"Hello... who are you?"
The front desk clerk and two Hung Hing subordinates hurriedly blocked them.
Zhang sir was full of righteousness, his expression serious: "We are from the Tax Bureau, this is my ID, Assessment Officer Charlie Zhang... We received a report that your Five Star Property Company is suspected of tax evasion, and we are here to investigate today!"
When the front desk clerk heard this, she immediately became nervous and hurriedly called upstairs.
And Zhang sir and the others had already forcibly broken into the elevator and headed straight upstairs.
Upstairs,
Ah Wah had just arrived at the company and hadn't entered the office yet. He had just made a cup of coffee and was about to drink it when he saw the assistant walk over quickly and report this matter to him.
He immediately frowned.
Tax Bureau?
Why are they here to check the property company's taxes for no reason?
Could it be that the Li family is playing tricks again?
However, Ah Wah wasn't worried, because they paid their taxes in full, and even charitable donations weren't recorded in the Five Star Property Company's tax reduction list.
It can be said—clean and white! Righteous to the point of being evil!
Ding~~~~
The elevator opened, and then he saw Zhang sir and the others walking out of the elevator aggressively, walking towards Ah Wah.
Ah Wah was leisurely, didn't go up to greet them, and his face was playful: "A few officers, I don't know what you are here for?!"
Zhang sir showed his ID and said sternly: "We are from the Tax Bureau, we received a report..."
"Report?" Ah Wah laughed, "Our Five Star Property has always been law-abiding and pays taxes according to the law. How could we possibly evade taxes."
"Pay taxes according to the law? Is that so?" Zhang sir sneered, his words ringing like iron, "Please prepare the financial statements, tax declaration records, and relevant business contracts for the past few years immediately, Mr. Liu. We will check them one by one."
Zhang sir and the others had been paying attention to Ah Wah's expression, wanting to see any flaws.
Before they came, they had investigated the Five Star Property Company, which was born out of a triad, and its main source of income was collecting protection fees.
Therefore, they firmly believed that this company must be evading taxes.
Which triad pays taxes according to the law?
Right!
Therefore, they were 100% convinced of their judgment!
As a result,
Ah Wah's expression was calm and breezy throughout... no, it was playful!
As if looking at them as if looking at clowns!
Zhang sir and the others: "????"
