Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 941 0929 [First confrontation]

"I've said that before my lawyer comes, I won't say anything and won't tell anything."

In the interrogation room, Hong Kong tycoon Zhaoheng spoke arrogantly to Datou Wen while biting a cigar.

"That's right. Our Mr. Li is a famous person in Hong Kong. It's good that he is willing to come here to cooperate with your investigation. As for what he wants to say or not, we can talk about it after the lawyer arrives."

As Li Zhaoheng's trusted subordinate, Li Tiansheng said coldly to Datou Wen.

Datou Wen laughed, "Secretary Li, huh? Before we list you as a suspect, please shut up!"

"You-what do you mean?" Li Tiansheng said angrily.

Datou Wen could give Li Zhaoheng face, but he didn't care about the clown in front of him. "You know what I mean. As Mr. Li's personal secretary, aren't you the one who did a lot of immoral things?"

"Slander! This is pure slander!" Li Tiansheng was furious and pointed at the big-headed man with a tattooed nose: "Don't think you can frame someone here just because you are the chief superintendent? I can sue you for defamation for everything you just said. You are damaging Mr. Li and my reputation!"

Looking at the frustrated Li Tiansheng, Datou Wen sneered: "Looking at your expression, someone who doesn't know you would think you have been wronged! This is the police station, go ahead and sue if you have the guts!"

"Do you think I don't dare?" Li Tiansheng stiffened his neck.

Li Zhaoheng spoke at this time, his tone contemptuous: "Ah Sheng, it's already this time and you are still arguing with such a small person? People have said that this is a police station, and there are laws and regulations. When our lawyer arrives, just let him handle everything!"

After saying that, Li Zhaoheng glanced at Datouwen with disdain, and blew a smoke ring at him with his cigar: "Let me tell you, you are really not qualified to talk to me!"

"He's not qualified, so what about me?"

A voice suddenly sounded outside.

"Hello, sir!"

"Hello, Director Du!"

All the police officers in the police station stood at attention, saluted, and roared.

As the voices were heard, the door of the interrogation room opened and Du Yongxiao walked in accompanied by two senior police superintendents.

As soon as Du Yongxiao appeared, his aura instantly crushed everything.

Li Tiansheng, who had just been yelling at Datou Wen, immediately fell silent.

Li Zhaoheng bit his cigar and looked at Du Yongxiao coldly, his eyes flickering.

Du Yongxiao came in front of Li Zhaoheng with his hands behind his back.

Li Zhaoheng was sitting on a chair, while Du Yongxiao was standing, looking down at Li Zhaoheng with a cold face, without saying a word.

The atmosphere is too depressing.

No one dared to say anything.

Li Zhaoheng felt that Du Yongxiao was staring at him, and the other party's momentum was slowly increasing.

Li Zhaoheng wanted to stand up to fight against Du Yongxiao's momentum pouring down from top to bottom, but he knew that as long as he stood up, he would lose the momentum contest.

So he resisted the urge to stand up and looked at Du Yongxiao coldly.

Du Yongxiao stared at Li Zhaoheng for more than ten seconds before he said, "Lisheng, are you used to being here?"

Li Zhaoheng sneered: "How can I get used to it? I'm not like you. You eat royal food, but I'm a businessman. Businessmen hate royal aura the most."

"I see!" Du Yongxiao reached out his hand and patted Li Zhaoheng on the shoulder. "I'm sorry, but I had no choice but to invite you, Lisheng, to help with the investigation."

Li Zhaoheng frowned. He was very disgusted by Du Yongxiao's action.

"That sounds nice! What exactly do you want?" Li Zhaoheng raised his hand and moved Du Yongxiao's hand away from his shoulder.

Du Yongxiao stared at Li Zhaoheng, whose expression gradually changed, and said, "What do I want? I just hope that you can plead guilty. That way, I can plead with the judge to give you a lighter sentence."

Li Zhaoheng was furious. He clenched his fists and pressed them on the table: "Du Yongxiao, you actually..."

"What happened to me? Did I say something wrong? It wasn't you who ordered people to burn Ming Pao, nor was it you who instigated Lian Haodong to kill me? Or, it wasn't you who hired someone to get rid of Lian Haolong in prison?"

Li Zhaoheng could no longer hold back, snapped the cigar in his hand, stood up and angrily said to Du Yongxiao: "Look, you are the Commissioner of Police, you can't just say nonsense!"

"Lies?" Du Yongxiao smiled slightly, kicked the ground and broke the cigar, took out a cigarette from his arms and bit it in the corner of his mouth. He couldn't quit smoking after all.

Datou Wen stepped forward, took out a lighter and helped Du Yongxiao light the cigarette.

"You said it yourself. I'm the Commissioner of Police. Since I'm the top of the police force, how could I lie? Stanley Prison is a very closed place. It's hard for a few people to get in there, not to mention that the person who got in is a black man?!" Du Yongxiao bit his cigarette and smiled at Li Zhaoheng, "Hong Kong is a very small place. If I want to find a black man here, it's not easy!"

After a pause-——
"Oh, by the way, I heard that you, Lisheng, have a black bodyguard by your side. What's his name? Black Panther! Black Panther, haha, this name is so vulgar. I seem to have heard such a name in the United States and the United Kingdom. It seems that Mr. Li is also a vulgar person, so he would keep such a vulgar person around him!"

"Du Yongxiao, what exactly do you want to say?" Li Zhaoheng glared at Du Yongxiao.

"You know best what I'm talking about. Look, this is the case of Lian Haolong's murder. As for the Ming Pao arson case, the guy called Little Ghost and Headless can both accuse your personal secretary, Mr. Li Tiansheng, of being involved! And Lian Haodong plotted to assassinate me. He can also accuse Mr. Li of this! Mr. Li, it looks like the situation is not favorable for you!"

After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Tiansheng with a smile.

Du Yongxiao's sudden change of attack shocked Li Tiansheng so much that he took a step back.

Li Zhaoheng also seemed to realize something. Could it be that from the beginning to the end Du Yongxiao's target was not him, but Li Tiansheng?
"Director Du, I don't understand what you are talking about." Li Tiansheng pretended to be confused.

Datou Wen and the two senior police superintendents were all looking at him with intriguing eyes.

"You haven't woken up yet? I thought you were a smart guy! Oh, maybe I was wrong." Du Yongxiao blew a puff of smoke at Li Tiansheng: "I keep my word. Now I'll give you a chance. If you are really willing to take all the blame, just pretend I didn't say anything. If you don't want to take the blame and spend the rest of your life in jail, then tell me who the real boss behind you is!"

Li Tiansheng slammed the table with both fists and said to Du Yongxiao: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

Du Yongxiao laughed: "If you still persist, your whole family will die!"

"Ahem, what?" Li Tiansheng was shocked. "As a policeman, you dare to threaten me here?"

After saying that, he turned to Datou Wen and the two senior police superintendents, "Did you see or hear that? Someone is threatening my family!"

"Aren't you still alive, Mr. Li?" Datou Wen said impatiently, "When you die, the police will naturally help you investigate the case."

Li Tiansheng was speechless. Then he remembered that Du Yongxiao was the Commissioner of Police, the immediate superior of these people, and the top man in the police force!
This is the Central Police Station, it’s their territory, they can say whatever they want.

Li Tiansheng quickly looked at Li Zhaoheng again.

Li Zhaoheng was also looking at him without saying a word. Li Tiansheng suddenly became alert that Mr. Li might use him as a scapegoat.

Don't forget that Du Yongxiao now has three witnesses who can accuse him of murder, and there is even a phone recording. Although Li Zhaoheng was not involved, he was in charge of everything, and his voice was in the phone recording.

Thinking of this, Li Tiansheng was sweating profusely, and hurriedly said to Li Zhaoheng: "Lisheng, you won't abandon me, right? I am very loyal to you!"

Li Zhaoheng still didn't speak.

From the beginning he knew that if he wanted to get out of the police station today, he had to sacrifice his car to save himself.

Even if his personal lawyer arrived, the result would be the same, because only in this way could he be cleared of the charges and the reputation of the Holly family be preserved.

After a long silence, Li Zhaoheng said to Li Tiansheng: "Ah Sheng, you must stand firm when you are beaten, and admit your mistakes! I don't know what you have done, but I hope you can consider the overall situation, understand?"

"Li Sheng, what do you mean--" Li Tiansheng took a few steps back and looked at Li Zhaoheng in disbelief.

Li Zhaoheng snorted coldly: "The lawyers are coming soon. You have to know clearly what to say and what not to say."

There was a threat in his tone.

"So I just said..." Du Yongxiao bit the cigarette holder and said in a long voice: "If you make the wrong decision, your whole family will really die!"

As he spoke, Du Yongxiao pointed at Li Zhaoheng and said, "From what I can see now, both sides want to kill you! No matter what you choose, you still have a chance!"

Under the pressure of Du Yongxiao's eyes, Li Tiansheng was shaken.

After all, life is precious and he wants to live.

at this time--
"Sir, Mr. Li Xiaohe is here with the Li Law Firm. He wants to meet Mr. Li Zhaoheng and Mr. Li Tiansheng."

A police officer knocked on the door and came in.

Du Yongxiao sighed and looked back at Li Tiansheng. "This is your last chance. Are you willing to be a witness? I can help you plead with the judge... Don't forget, I'm the Commissioner of Police. I can save your life with just one word."

"I--" Li Tiansheng was about to speak when Li Xiaohe came in with his legal team.

Li Xiaohe leaned on his crutch and glanced at everyone in the room. His gaze finally fell on Du Yongxiao. He looked at Du Yongxiao without saying a word.

A lawyer came out and handed Du Yongxiao his business card respectfully, saying, "Hello, sir. I am Huangfu Song, the barrister of the Li Group. We would like to talk to our client alone for a few words. Please forgive us!"

It means to let Du Yongxiao and others go out.

This is also a manifestation of Hong Kong law's respect for human rights. Before suspects are confirmed as criminals, they have the opportunity to talk to their lawyers alone.

Although Du Yongxiao is the Commissioner of Police, he must respect such rules.

Du Yongxiao nodded when he heard this, and said to Datou Wen and others, "Let's leave for now."

After saying that, Du Yongxiao glanced at Li Xiaohe and said, "Mr. Li, huh? It looks like your son has gotten into big trouble this time, and he actually asked you to come out and help clean up the mess!"

Li Xiaohe leaned on his crutches and said with a smile, "Director Du, you are joking. I know my Ah Heng's temper best. I came here to take him away."

"Bail him out? The procedures are very complicated, not to mention that he is involved in too many cases now." Du Yongxiao touched his nose and smiled at Li Xiaohe: "So I say, no bail!"

"You said I can't get bail, so I can't get bail?"

"Yes." Du Yongxiao's eyes were burning. "Because I am the Commissioner of Police, no one can bail out your son without my approval."

"Director Du, aren't you going a bit too far by doing this?" Li Xiaohe looked at Du Yongxiao with a sharp gaze.

Du Yongxiao was not afraid at all. Instead, he took a step forward and stared at Li Xiaohe: "You can say that I am bullying others or that I abuse my power, but I said I can't release him on bail. I just can't! What do you think? Are you going to bite me?"

"You——" Even though Li Xiaohe was calm and composed, he was angered by Du Yongxiao's shameless words. He clenched his cane with both hands and pounded it, saying, "I will report it to the higher-ups. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are the Commissioner of Police!"

"Whatever!" Du Yongxiao was not even afraid of the Governor of Hong Kong, so how could he be afraid of the old man in front of him.

After saying this, Du Yongxiao was too lazy to pay attention to the other party anymore and left with Datou Wen and others.

After Du Yongxiao and the others left, Li Zhaoheng immediately stood up and said to his father: "Father, I--"

"Pa!" Li Xiaohe slapped him in the face and said angrily, "You are almost destroying the reputation of our Li family!"

Li Zhaoheng covered his face, no longer arrogant as before, and bowed his head and said: "I'm sorry, father, I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"Didn't expect it? So what now? How do you want me to save you?"

"for this I--"

Li Zhaoheng didn't know what to say.

Li Xiaohe snorted again, and walked past his son with his crutches, walked in front of Li Tiansheng, and said in a calm tone: "Ah Sheng, how long have you been serving our Ah Heng?"

"Ten years, sir."

Li Xiaohe nodded: "Ten years is not a short time. Look, I just transferred three million to your family. Your son can go to the United States to study this year. The Li family will cover all the expenses. As for your mother, she can also go to the United States to treat epilepsy..."

"Also, the place you live in now has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is very easy to have a fire. It is very dangerous for all five of you to squeeze in there. So, if you are willing, I will move them to a bigger house tomorrow - Repulse Bay, okay? There happens to be a thousand-foot house of our Li family there, with a good location and room for appreciation. With just a word, it can be transferred directly to you..."

Li Tiansheng looked at Li Xiaohe, who had a kind face, but felt horrified when he heard his words.

He knew what the other party meant by that. Something about a fire being likely to break out was a threat!

Only a big shot like Li Xiaohe could sound so considerate when threatening.

Li Tiansheng swallowed his saliva, "Master, do I have any choice?"

"What do you think?" Li Xiaohe asked back, "In fact, it's not bad to live there for a few years, just as a vacation! Besides, you helped our Ah Heng, and our Li family will never forget you."

After Li Xiaohe finished speaking, he patted Li Tiansheng on the shoulder and said, "Now, you know what to do!"

Li Tiansheng hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Li Xiaohe was very comforting and looked at his son and said, "What are you still standing there for? Put your clothes in order and come home with me later!"

"Yes, father!"

Li Zhaoheng said respectfully.
