Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 43: Head into the Palace
"Having many relatives and friends can sometimes be a burden, like the banquet tonight."

"Sir, before I get in the car, can I call my lawyer and ask where the destination is?"

Chi Mengli watched his younger brothers walk into the Liji Restaurant, pretended to be helpless, then made a request and called his lawyer.

"Of course, but I don't have any change, so just call when you get there."

"Cuff them in the car."

"Tell Lan Mingde that he can't escape. He has to take responsibility for the chaos in Mong Kok."

"I think Brother Sheng is so impressive today that he doesn't need a black hood."

Guo Guohao waved his hand, and two men in military uniforms immediately stepped forward and handcuffed Chi Mengli and Bo Xidong.

There was a big commotion in Yau Ma Tei, and paparazzi were definitely present.

Hong Kong is an entertainment society with a highly developed media industry. Paparazzi not only follow singers and movie stars, but there are also special media reporting on underworld events. The circulation is very good and there is a large number of loyal audiences who buy the books.

"Click. Click."

The flash lights kept flashing, filming the scene of Chi Mengli being caught by the police and put into the car. It would be hard not to become famous now!
The interior of the assault vehicle was very spacious, with only Chi Mengli and Bo Xidong in it. It seemed to be a special vehicle.

"Brother Sheng, I heard that all the famous people in the underworld will be handcuffed by the police after they are given a job, but only the red sticks from the Sunset Society are not handcuffed."

"Brother Sheng, are we going to be famous?!"

Bo Xidong used to be a parking boy, and he had always been law-abiding with Chi Mengli. This was his first time in the palace, so everything he saw was new to him.

"What are you doing?"

"We are serious businessmen, why are we talking about societies? Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about!"

"What if the officer in the cab misunderstands me? What a fool."

"Remember, you are the account manager of Fuji Minibus Transportation Company, not some street thug, gangster, or short mule. Remember this."

"What a bummer. I sat in the office for an entire afternoon and then took a nap. Who knows what Yau Ma Tei is doing?"

"Adong, remember it?"

Chi Mengli glanced at the cab and saw two men in military uniforms chatting and not paying attention to what was going on inside the car. She immediately kicked Bo Xidong, telling the idiot to stop talking nonsense, and then said loudly to him what to do when they got to the police station.

Bo Xidong understood immediately, closed his mouth quickly, and nodded to show that he understood.

"Shut up and be quiet."

The uniformed officer in charge of escorting the suspects also reacted and immediately stopped the two people at the back of the carriage from colluding with each other.

Chi Mengli closed her mouth, turned her head and looked at the street scene of Yau Ma Tei. She found that the streets were full of police officers who were checking license plates door to door. The short mules with gang backgrounds were arrested and handcuffed on the side of the road.

It seems that the police are serious this time.

The PTU Mobile Unit's assault vehicle drove all the way to the West Kowloon Police Station. This is considered a veteran actor in Hong Kong films and dramas. The famous West Kowloon Crime Unit also has its office at the West Kowloon Police Station.

Mong Kok, Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and other areas belong to the West Kowloon District. They are bustling commercial and tourist areas, as well as areas where prostitution, gambling, prostitutes and nightlife are relatively concentrated.

However, the West Kowloon Police Station was very busy tonight, with assault vehicles coming in and out, and many civilian detectives standing at the gate to register the dwarf mules sent in. Chi Mengli had been in the water room for nearly four years, and had never been in the class room once.

I remember that my original self was once arrested for getting into a fight in junior high school and breaking someone's head. He was going to be sent to a boys' home, but my mother paid for a settlement and I signed a confession, so I didn't go to jail.

When the civilian staff saw the car coming in, they hurried forward to register, and after Chi Mengli and Bo Xidong registered and signed their names, they were taken into the photo studio. Just like the plots in European and American crime movies, they took their fingerprints and had full-body and side-view photos taken.

Guo Guohao had been standing outside the door until the registration was over. Then he grabbed Chi Mengli by the collar of her suit, pulled her directly into the interrogation room, and pushed her into a chair.

Chi Mengli tidied up his clothes, feeling very distressed. This suit jacket cost three thousand eight hundred yuan. If it was damaged, he would be so upset that he would not be able to sleep.

"Brother Sheng, I took good care of you by not locking you up with Dakouya. If Dakouya knew that you had taken over an entire street of his territory, he would definitely fight you to the death in the cell."

Guo Guohao asked A to guard outside the door and not let anyone disturb him. He closed the door of the interrogation room and turned off the video recorder next to it.

"Mr. Guo, right?"

"I think you are mistaken. I have been busy with work all day. The chaos in Yau Ma Tei that you mentioned has nothing to do with me."

"I'm going to call a lawyer, and until that lawyer comes, I'm not going to say anything."

Chi Mengli was afraid that someone might have ears, so she kept repeating that she was innocent and asked to call a lawyer.

Guo Guohao also knew that he could not exchange information in the interrogation room. He snorted coldly, threw the notebook in his hand on the table, and said, "Handsome Sheng, stop talking nonsense here."

"You know why I handcuffed you."

"You were awesome today. You directly cooperated with Silly Feng and took advantage of the fact that Hongtai of Donglian Society was dead and Dakouya was in jail to overturn Yau Ma Tei."

"I have good news for you. Qi Xing Deng was killed in the emergency room of the clinic. He had a massive intracranial hemorrhage and was beaten to death. It was so tragic!"

"Someone saw Qi Xingdeng and your subordinate Ji Zai acting in a martial arts movie. There was a passionate fight and someone died in the street. This matter must not be let go like this. Hand the person over and don't make it difficult for me."

There are very few deaths in street fights, especially when people are beaten to death in the street.

The short mule was not a killer, he was intervening in the fight for money. Now that the person is dead, the police will definitely file a case.

Chi Mengli was silent for a moment. No matter what, Jizai was his henchman and it was impossible for him to be handed over. But this matter was not unsolvable. There was no shortage of scapegoats in Kowloon Walled City.

After spending a few thousand dollars, someone will be willing to take the blame. Then, a high-profile lawyer will come forward and find a way to turn the murder into manslaughter. Hong Kong has a jury system, which has a lot of loopholes that can be exploited.

The scapegoat will have to stay in prison for a few years at most, and if the community lawyers perform well, they may even be released in court.

Having money not only allows you to make the devil push the mill, but also allows you to turn black into white.

"Mr. Guo, I don't know what you are talking about. Although I have never been to college, I know one thing: if you kill someone, you must pay with your life, and if you owe someone money, you must pay it back. This is the law of nature, and no one can go against it."

"I want to publish an advertisement to condemn these thugs who threaten the safety of Hong Kong."

"I believe that the murderer will find his conscience and turn himself in."

"However, although I don't know this person called Ji Zai, the citizens of Hong Kong are all exaggerating! It may not be the truth."

Chi Mengli spoke with great righteousness, but his words implied that if someone died, he would definitely follow the rules and arrange someone to take the blame, but it would definitely not be Ji Zai.
