Chapter 205
"Inspector Yu,"
"If you want to accuse me, please show some evidence?"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was just like Huang Bingyao, full of confidence.
So he was very tough and not afraid of this group of ICAC people at all.
You guys are just bootlickers who don't dare to investigate the Japanese; do I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, need to give you face?
Yu Hongsheng saw this scene and couldn't help but frown: Could it be that this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu really doesn't have any interest exchange with Huang Bingyao and the others?
This 1 million is not easy to take!
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu continued to spray:
"Inspector Yu..."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "Yesterday, one of my schools was reported, and then the Education Department and the Political Department both went; and this morning, my Five Star Property Company was reported again, and then the Tax Bureau came to audit."
"I now strongly suspect that someone is deliberately trying to mess with me."
"Inspector Yu, I wonder if you, a commissioner of the ICAC, have also taken someone else's money and are deliberately here to mess with me?"
"After all, I, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, have always been law-abiding, paying taxes according to the law, liking to do good deeds, and cooperating with the police... I can be called a model enterprise!"
"Now you have no evidence, yet you run over to arrest me, so I strongly suspect you have taken money."
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Yu Hongsheng with bright eyes.
Lu Zhilian was also shocked inside and looked at Yu Hongsheng.
Lu Zhilian was an idealistic ICAC commissioner, so he had always believed in the ICAC's spirit of fairness, integrity, efficiency, fearlessness, impartiality, and selflessness.
And on the other hand, he was full of respect for his superior, Yu Hongsheng, believing that Inspector Yu must also be such a person.
And now...
With Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu saying this, Lu Zhilian couldn't help but start to doubt Yu Hongsheng.
Yu Hongsheng's expression changed, and he said angrily: "Mr. Guan, please don't wrong people casually!"
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu spread his hands: "Then please don't wrong a good person, unless you have found sufficient evidence!"
Yu Hongsheng looked at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu for a few seconds and didn't see any sign of a guilty conscience.
He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Could it be that he really didn't bribe anyone?
10 minutes later,
Yu Hongsheng's expression was ugly as he took Lu Zhilian and the others downstairs and got into the car.
It could be considered a defeat!
In his heart, he cursed that Li Chang a hundred times: F*ck, he actually found the Education Department and the Tax Bureau to cause trouble for Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu. Doesn't this tell others that he, Yu Hongsheng, is also problematic if he gets involved?
"Let's go back."
Yu Hongsheng said, then said to Lu Zhilian: "Go back and have Mei Li submit her work report."
Lu Zhilian nodded: "Yes!"
He wanted to say something but stopped.
Yu Hongsheng said angrily: "What? Do you doubt me?"
Lu Zhilian didn't speak.
He only believed in evidence, not people, and today Yu Hongsheng's sudden move was indeed a bit suspicious.
Otherwise, the Education Department, the Tax Bureau, and the ICAC working together was just too suspicious.
Inspector Yu looked at Lu Zhilian like this and knew he had brought fire upon himself.
Damn,
Loser Li Chang!
You set me up!
Evening, 21:00.
Five Star Charity Foundation, office building, brightly lit.
"Sister Li, off work, bye."
"Sister Li, bye."
"Bye~~~"
One by one, the Hong Xing lackeys left the office to go home, and Tan Meili was also doing the final work wrap-up.
In another week, the second "Reading Month · Knowledge Cup" event would begin.
Currently, ATV's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" was broadcast every week, with viewership ratings basically above 70%, and rebroadcast ratings were over 40%.
She could already imagine that this second Knowledge Cup would definitely have a huge number of applicants.
Therefore, this event would require several schools, and the staff and volunteers involved would exceed 10,000.
Just thinking about it made her scalp tingle.
However, Tan Meili still had a great sense of accomplishment; after all, this time she was personally in charge of this event, her power was not small, and the resources she could mobilize were not small either; by then, the ATV executives would have to call her — Sister Li!
"Hehehe~~~~~"
Cough cough~~~
Tan Meili quickly suppressed this perverted laughter.
After all, she was still an ICAC undercover... forget it, forget the undercover, please call me Sister Li!!
"Ring ring ring~~~"
At this moment, Lu Zhilian called.
"Hey~~"
"Ah Li."
"Li what Li, please call me Sister Li!"
"????"
Lu Zhilian on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, checking the phone number to see if he had called the wrong person.
"Cough cough~~~~ Big Brother, what's up?"
"Are you free for dinner tonight?"
"Sure."
"Okay, I'll send you an address later."
Lu Zhilian hung up the phone and then sent an address to Tan Meili's pager.
Tan Meili looked at her watch; it was very late, and the work was almost done, so she would continue tomorrow.
Nowadays, Tan Meili felt that she was doing something very meaningful, and she held great power, so her enthusiasm was very high, her body hormones were skyrocketing, her spirit was vigorous, and she didn't feel tired working.
She went downstairs and got into the car.
Right, the car was provided by the company, a Mercedes sports car, convertible!
Awesome!
Tan Meili put on her sunglasses, drove the car, sped away from the company, and raced towards the address Lu Zhilian gave.
Soon,
On the rooftop of a residential building not far from Lu Zhilian's house.
Tan Meili walked up the stairs along the dim stairwell lights and arrived at the rooftop.
At this time, Lu Zhilian was leaning against the rooftop wall, looking at the bustling night view of Hong Kong Island in the distance.
"Hey, Boss, a policeman was pushed off a rooftop two days ago; are you going to do the same?"
Lu Zhilian looked at Tan Meili.
Not having seen her for a month, he felt that Tan Meili's temperament had undergone a earth-shaking change.
More confident!
More sharp!
Her aura was more powerful!
"Not bad, it seems you're doing well over at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's."
"Hmph~~"
Tan Meili held her head high.
Am I proud?
I am!
At this moment, Lu Zhilian took out two bags.
"Come, I know you haven't had a midnight snack, I prepared fish balls for you."
"I specifically packed them from "Bo Kee Fish Balls"."
Hong Kong-style fish balls, one of the signature street snacks in Hong Kong, small fish balls that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, soaked in curry or satay sauce, fragrant and overflowing.
And "Bo Kee Fish Balls" was an even more famous stall.
Tan Meili happened to be a bit hungry, took them, opened the plastic bag, used a toothpick to stab a fish ball, and started eating.
"Thanks, Inspector Lu! You're still the one who cares about me!"
"Haha~~ then hurry up and find a boyfriend to care about you!"
Tan Meili thought about it; she hadn't met anyone who made her heart flutter yet.
If she had to say who made her heart flutter, maybe Brother Zu was not bad... powerful, domineering yet gentle, simply a perfect charming male god!
Lu Zhilian: "I've been keeping an eye on your affairs; it seems that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu values you quite a bit right now. Do a good job, and if there's nothing wrong, don't come back. Your situation right now is quite good."
Tan Meili shook her head repeatedly: "No, I am a person of the ICAC in life, and a ghost of the ICAC in death!" Lu Zhilian said "Tsk~": "Crazy, what you are doing now is very meaningful, no less meaningful than the ICAC, so don't worry about where you are doing it."
Tan Meili giggled; that's right, that's exactly what she thought.
Lu Zhilian: "Right, today our ICAC went to investigate Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu..."
He went through what happened today.
"You've been with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu for so long, have you ever discovered him having any interest transfers with those senior police officers?"
"No."
Tan Meili hadn't been with Gao Jin and Gao Qiu for a short time, and hadn't seen anything dark; instead, it was positive energy every day, making Tan Meili doubt herself: Am I not positive enough?
"That's good... then these few days, help me inquire."
"Inquire about what? Let's be clear first, I won't do dangerous things."
Lu Zhilian shook his head: "It's not dangerous... today I realized one thing: these two days the Education Department, the Tax Bureau, and then the ICAC went to investigate him repeatedly... with his energy, ordinary reports definitely wouldn't alarm so many departments."
Tan Meili understood the implication: "You mean, someone wants to mess with Brother Zu, and then used their connections?"
Lu Zhilian nodded: "So I suspect Inspector Yu might have taken money too."
!.
Tan Meili thought about it, and this possibility was indeed very high.
"Okay, I'll inquire."
"Sorry to trouble you."
Tan Meili stretched: "Alright, is there anything else? I'm going back to take a shower and sleep; next week we're doing the "Knowledge Cup", I'll be busy to death."
Lu Zhilian smiled: "No, go back and rest."
Tan Meili: "Bye~~~"
She turned and went downstairs.
Suddenly,
Tan Meili stopped her steps:
"Right, Boss, why don't you send someone else to help me? I'm so busy..." Tan Meili deeply felt that she was short of talent.
"Ah?"
Lu Zhilian was stunned for a moment.
This works too?
"Forget it, forget it, I was just saying."
Tan Meili waved her hand and went downstairs.
Lu Zhilian watched Tan Meili go downstairs, get into the sports car, and drive away, smiling.
He didn't expect Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu to value Tan Meili so much, providing her with a car and giving her such a heavy responsibility.
That's good too!
Now Lu Zhilian had already felt a slight change in the internal atmosphere of the ICAC.
There were still 6 years left, and it seemed the senior ICAC leadership wanted to change something.
It was good that Tan Meili wasn't in the ICAC; she didn't have to be in the vortex.
"Sigh~~~"
Lu Zhilian sighed, looking at the neon high-rises in the distance, his eyes filled with confusion.
Before his wife died due to an elevator malfunction, Lu Zhilian had not yet possessed that rock-solid, sharp, and indestructible belief.
Li Chang's villa.
At this time, Li Chang was watching ATV; tonight was a big Saturday night, and they were rebroadcasting the third episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire".
At this moment, Yu Hongsheng called.
"Mr. Li, I'm very sorry, I can't handle this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu."
"Why?"
"Today I went to probe Huang Bingyao and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, but neither of them revealed any flaws, and I didn't get any useful evidence... so things can only end here."
Li Chang frowned: "No evidence at all?"
Yu Hongsheng: "Sorry..."
What is going on with this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu?
Really no interest transfer with that Huang Bingyao?
Too anti-human.
"Okay, then sorry to trouble Inspector Yu this time."
Yu Hongsheng: "You're welcome, it's all for the people!"
Li Chang rolled his eyes.
You took 1 million from me, and you're still acting all high and mighty for me!
After hanging up the phone, Li Chang was silent for a while...
Ring ring ring~~~
At this time, a call came in; it was Inspector Zhang from the Tax Bureau.
Inspector Zhang: "Young Master Li, we have already made a preliminary arrangement of the tax situation of that Five Star Property Company."
Li Chang: "What's the result?"
Inspector Zhang: "Currently, we haven't found any tax evasion behavior by Five Star Property, and they didn't even use the charity tax deduction."
Li Chang: "............"
F*ck, how is Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's company tax situation cleaner than mine?
Li Chang: "Okay, thank you, Inspector Zhang."
Inspector Zhang: "You're welcome, it's all for the people!"
Li Chang: "............"
Good, good, good, you guys took my money, and you're still acting all righteous, right!
At this time,
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" on TV was coming to an end.
A contestant named Huang Guantao actually completed 20 questions and got 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
However, Li Chang wasn't really watching this show, but was thinking about one thing,
"This show was made by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's side..."
"But the current boss of ATV is Tycoon Lin Baixin, and the Xinli Group under Tycoon Lin is for clothing, among which suits are the most critical business."
"And Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu also has a suit factory, and recently the market share has been rising continuously."
"So, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and Tycoon Lin can be considered competitors."
Thinking of this, Li Chang directly picked up the phone and dialed Tycoon Lin's youngest son, Lin Yue; the two were ten years apart, but both were playboys, and they had met at tycoon parties, so they could be considered to have a little friendship.
"Hey..."
"Lin Shao~~~ I'm Li Chang~~"
"Young Master Li, why are you so free to call me."
Lin Yue was currently pursuing the actress Wang Zuxian, accompanying her on a yacht in Victoria Harbour, having a party.
Don't look at Lin Yue as Tycoon Lin's youngest son, but in fact, he was more favored by Tycoon Lin, while the eldest son was disliked by Tycoon Lin because he was too romantic and did things too outrageously.
Of course, Lin Yue wasn't much better; he was already married and had a son, but he still openly pursued Wang Zuxian, which was reported by the media many times.
For the Lin family, besides these 2 sons, there was also an adopted son, who was more capable and deeply favored by Tycoon Lin; Tycoon Lin even said "this son is like me", and later there was a matter of almost giving the family property to the adopted son, which caused a huge stir in Hong Kong. However, in the end, Tycoon Lin remained clear-headed and gave most of the assets to Lin Yue, while the eldest son Lin Jian only got a little bit.
"Lin Shao, it's not very convenient to talk about things on the phone; I wonder if you have time for a meal."
"Okay, tomorrow!"
"That's good, tomorrow at Meidu Hotel, welcome Lin Shao!"
Meidu Hotel was an industry of the Li family, belonging to high-end property, and could earn a lot of profit every year.
And at this time,
On the other side, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was eating fish balls on the rooftop with Ah Wah and Gao Jin.
"Basically, it has been investigated clearly."
"This Li Chang met with Inspector Zhang of the Tax Bureau, Yu Hongsheng of the ICAC, and the Education Department separately at Meidu Hotel a few days ago..."
After Ah Wah finished speaking, he took a bite of a fish ball; it was bouncy and delicate, wrapped in sauce, very good.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sneered: "This Li Chang is simply biting people everywhere like a mad dog."
Gao Jin's cold voice sounded: "Should we... kill him?"
"I don't think that's appropriate!"
Ah Wah shook his head upon hearing this: "After these few days of investigation, this Li family is hidden even deeper than I imagined; don't look at them being called the "Old Four Great Families", as if they have declined, actually they haven't... they just hid."
"Just their huge property rent collection in Causeway Bay is billions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue every year; you have to know this has been for seventy or eighty years, who knows how many assets they have..."
"At least our current strength is not enough; we are not prepared to face the huge Li family."
"After all, this Li Chang is a direct descendant of the Li family!"
Gao Jin reluctantly agreed after hearing Ah Wah's analysis.
Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu also felt that he couldn't kill him, at least he had to wait... one year might be enough...
"Although we can't kill him."
"But we must teach him a harsh lesson!"
