Chapter 655

Qi Hong's body suddenly shook. Although it was very slight, Zhou Andong still felt it. He pressed harder on his shoulders, a hint of a smile appearing on his face.

He was only guessing and tentatively mentioned McDonald's; he didn't expect it to actually be them.

"Right? I know even if you don't say it. What are you still insisting on? What meaning does such persistence have?"

Qi Hong forced himself to remain calm and said: "Since you know, why ask?"

Zhou Andong smiled, moved to the opposite side of Qi Hong, and sat down: "Knowing is one thing, but you still have to say it."

Qi Hong leaned back and crossed his legs: "I've already said everything that should be said. I don't know anything else, and it has even less to do with McDonald's."

"You really are someone who doesn't shed tears until they see the coffin." Zhou Andong took a cigarette and lowered his head to light it, "Just now, we pulled the surveillance footage from the entrance between 10:00 and 12:00 yesterday, and we didn't see you enter. Don't tell me you fucking flew in."

Qi Hong bent over to take the ashtray and flicked the ash, simply refusing to speak. He had absolutely no concept of what a surveillance system was. Therefore, no matter what Zhou Andong said, he kept holding onto a fluke mentality.

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The office door was knocked on, and Zhou Andong shouted: "Come in!"

An Jing came in with two cups of cola and placed them in front of Zhou Andong and Qi Hong.

Zhou Andong picked up the cola and took a sip: "This is the cola developed by the Xurishang Group itself. Taste it, the flavor is quite good."

Qi Hong was indeed a bit thirsty; he didn't stand on ceremony, picked up the cola, and drank half the cup in one breath.

"How is it?" Zhou Andong said with a smile: "The taste is not bad, right."

Qi Hong nodded: "It's okay!"

"Since you don't want to talk, then go inside and stay for two years to feel the power of the iron fist of the proletarian dictatorship."

Zhou Andong stood up and walked out, "Find a lawyer and sue Qi Hong. Not only do I want to send him inside, but I also want to file for civil damages. I want to make him pay until he's bankrupt."

An Jing nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately."

"Bang!"

Following the heavy sound of the door closing, Qi Hong's heart jumped violently, and his brows furrowed.

He didn't expect Zhou Andong to leave just like that, especially the words he said before leaving, which made him feel very uneasy.

Soon, Dajiang and a police officer pushed the door open and entered.

"Let's go!" Dajiang shouted.

At this moment, Qi Hong realized that Zhou Andong might not have been scaring him; it was truly possible he would send him inside and make him pay a lot of money.

"What are you thinking about?" Dajiang shouted again, "Hurry up!"

Qi Hong suddenly felt anxious and asked Dajiang with some hesitation: "Comrade Police, can that slander thing really get me three years?"

"What do you think?" Dajiang said very seriously: "I'm telling you, today's matter is very serious. You didn't just slander; there's also insult and rumor-mongering, which has caused very great damage to Dicos's reputation.

Just now, Chairman Zhou went down and has already given instructions to prepare two million in funds to sue you. Not only will we pursue your criminal liability, but we will also pursue your civil liability.

Think about it, they prepared two million just to fight a lawsuit against you; how much money will they make you pay? Don't talk about this life; you'll be carrying this debt in your next life too."

With Dajiang scaring and bluffing him, Qi Hong was truly a bit afraid. He had no loyalty to speak of with Gao Zong; all there was, was profit.

He had insisted on not talking until now because he believed they couldn't get a handle on him, and as long as he didn't admit it, they would release him soon.

But now it seemed this matter had exceeded his control. If he were really thrown inside for two years and also had to pay a huge sum of money, that would be too fucking unjust.

Qi Hong gritted his teeth and said: "I want to see Zhou Andong."

"This matter has already been filed; if you have anything to say, tell me." Dajiang said to the police officer beside him, "Take the statement!"

To avoid complications from delay, in case this guy changed his mind again, Dajiang started taking the statement right there.

The police officer took out a notebook and pen and sat down: "Speak!"

Qi Hong said: "Gao Zong from McDonald's found me and said to me, 'How can one allow others to snore on the side of one's couch?' He told me to ruin Dicos and gave me a five-thousand deposit, and after the deed was done, he would give me another five thousand."

Dajiang and the police officer taking the statement looked at each other. They were very familiar with Gao Zong and the others, and their relationship was actually quite good; during holidays and festivals, they had brought plenty of things to the station to offer comfort.

Damn it, Dajiang cursed in his heart; this matter was hard to handle.

The police officer asked: "What do you want to do?"

Qi Hong said: "Gao Zong said Dicos has some balcony music show at night, and many people will come to watch. I thought that as long as I caused chaos and there were casualties, Dicos definitely wouldn't be able to stay open."

Dajiang's face immediately turned gloomy, and the look he gave Qi Hong was very frightening.

This fucking guy wasn't just trying to ruin Dicos; he was trying to ruin them too.

Think about it: if a mass incident occurred in their jurisdiction and there were casualties, let alone their station, even the branch bureau would have to suffer the consequences.

"What a fucking bastard, you guys have too much nerve." The police officer taking the statement couldn't help but curse, feeling a lingering fear.

"Take him away." Dajiang suppressed his anger; the bit of personal connection he had with Gao Zong was gone in an instant.

Qi Hong was taken downstairs. It was already 11:00, and the first and second floors were full of guests again, and there was a line outside as well.

Some morning guests who hadn't left were talking to the new arrivals about what had just happened, chatting enthusiastically. And what everyone was even more interested in was the surveillance system; no matter who it was, they would look up to take a peek.

Dajiang came to Zhang Zhonghui's side and whispered a few words, and then he saw Zhang Zhonghui's face turn ugly.

"Let's go!" Zhang Zhonghui stood up and walked out.

Zhou Andong and An Jing saw Zhang Zhonghui and the others out.

"Officer Zhang, McDonald's, right."

Zhang Zhonghui was stunned; he didn't expect Zhou Andong to have already guessed it.

"Right, you threatened McDonald's business, so Gao Zong found Qi Hong, planning to cause trouble during the balcony music show performance. As long as it caused crowd chaos and a casualty accident, you guys at Dicos wouldn't have to think about staying open."

Zhou Andong narrowed his eyes: "What a fucking idiot. If a mass incident really happened and there were casualties, once the higher-ups investigated, could he have gotten away?"

Zhang Zhonghui pondered for a moment and said: "Chairman Zhou, regarding this matter, I think it's better to settle it privately. If it makes too much of a scene, it won't be good for anyone."

He had a good personal relationship with Gao Zong. Although this incident made him very annoyed, since it hadn't happened yet, he thought about finding Gao Zong to talk and giving Zhou Andong a way out. If both sides let it go lightly, everyone would be happy.

Hearing this, Zhou Andong understood that Zhang Zhonghui's relationship with Gao Zong must be quite good. If he insisted, he would offend Zhang Zhonghui.

After all, doing business in Wang Fujing, offending Zhang Zhonghui was not a good idea, but Gao Zong had disgusted him so much; how could he swallow this breath?
