Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 205 Resisting Arrest
A large number of police cars surrounded Tsim Sha Tsui East, and teams of police officers rushed straight to the gangsters running around.

Half of the vehicles diverted from Mizun Road and headed straight for Ashley Road and Hankou Road.

Under the Operations Department, Police Tactical Unit (PTU) Chief Superintendent Darro and Organized Crime and Triad Chief Superintendent Elmer got out of their cars and walked side by side on the street.

As the two got out of the car, the flash lights around them kept flashing. The two did not even look at the reporters. The PTU people separated the crowd and escorted them inside.

Looking at the rebar and blood scattered on the ground, the injured who had not yet been taken away and the body bags on the ground, the two men frowned.

"Tell me, what happened." Elmer looked at Queiroz.

"Luen Gong Le boss Deng Guangrong organized several affiliated gang members with more than 5000 people to attack the Heshengyi Tsim Sha Tsui branch. The scene was caused by the collision of four cars." Queiroz said briefly.

The cause and process are not important to these two people. He is not here to judge anyone.

"Which side are these people on?"

"Lian Gong Le."

"No one with Shengyi?" Elmer frowned.

"Over there." Queiroz pointed to a smashed sauna not far away.

When they passed by, Elmer saw the completely deformed angle steel doors and windows. He couldn't help but frown. He looked up and looked at the sign above again. It was indeed a sauna...

But, is it necessary to take such security measures in a sauna?

Well, judging from the fact that it was smashed to pieces, it must have been used.

Darrow ordered his men to shine a flashlight around. There was no blood. "No one is here? Is it closed or for some other reason?"

"They must have received the news in advance." Queiroz recalled the pleasant conversation he had with Wang Yaotang before, and explained a little more, "This is the business of Heshengyi leader Wang Yaotang. He poached people from the command center and set up his own command system modeled after the police's command center. He must have discovered the other party's actions, which gave the store time to allow customers to evacuate safely."

Elmer didn't care about the command center at the moment. "So, he deliberately arranged those vehicles that caused hundreds of casualties?"

Looking Queiroz up and down, they are all experienced people and they know what the other party means as soon as they hear it.

"Not sure." Queiroz shook his head.

"Catch them all."

"Yes Sir!" Queiroz saluted, then whispered, "It's better to go to the front and take a look."

"how?"

"Perhaps the time was too short, and Wang Yaotang's nightclub and KTV did not have enough time to evacuate the guests safely."

"What?" Elmer was startled and walked forward quickly. "What's going on now?"

"Don't worry, sir. Ordinary citizens were not harmed." Queiroz said quickly. "The iron gates just now are installed in every store. There are security guards behind the gates to resist the enemy. However, those gang members tried to set fire, but because they used diesel, it did not ignite. However, a large number of citizens were frightened and are currently being organized to go to the hospital for treatment."

Elmer then slowed down his pace a little, and felt a little favorable towards Wang Yaotang.

Queiroz also slowed down his pace. This was all he could do. Without 50, no, 80, he would definitely not be able to thank himself afterwards!

In the event of a major accident, ordinary citizens at the scene will be taken to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and the expenses will be borne by the government.

It's not because the government is kind, but because they need hospitals to issue reports on the status of citizens to prevent "unruly people" from blackmailing the government...

Darrow and Elmer put on a show to comfort the rescued citizens, and pro-government media took photos.

"Sir, neighbors said they saw thousands of people armed with rebars, beating and smashing things, and four cars ran over 100 people. The police didn't show up until the gangsters fled. Is the police intelligence system down?"

"According to Article 28 of the Police General Orders, at this stage we can only confirm that a fight has occurred. The Organised Crime and Triad Organisation is currently investigating. The detailed number of casualties will have to wait for the hospital report."

"The wire report said that there was a conflict between Lian Gong Le Tai Zi Rong and He Sheng Yi Cai Shen Yao, and they had to get permission from the police in advance to mobilize 5000 people to show off their horses. I would like to ask if the police's [film collection] system has been revived."

"If you have reliable evidence, please hand it over to the Organized Crime and Triad Organization (OJT) immediately." The three of them walked out quickly under the protection of a group of PTUs. "The police will never allow any triad activities."

Half an hour later...

The top floor of Huafeng Building.

A foreigner with the chief inspector's epaulettes led the team into the command center, followed by Huang Bingyao.

Wang Yaotang's eyes swept from the foreigner's face to Huang Bingyao's face: It was you who brought the foreigner here.

The ghost man couldn't believe his eyes. He felt like he was still in the police force...

Well, no, there is no large sand table in the police command center!

There won’t be any leather sofas, let alone wine and snacks!

Damn it, you are a gangster, but your command center is more luxurious than the police station, what do you want to do!
"Who is Wang Yaotang?"

"I am." Wang Yaotang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, not moving.

This is disrespectful to me. The ghost man looked unhappy. "We now suspect that you are involved in a terrorist act. Come back with us for investigation!"

"Hello, officer. I'm Jiang Zhizhen. This is my lawyer's ID." Jiang Zhizhen stood up. "My client is willing to cooperate with the police investigation. According to Chapter 221 of the Criminal Procedure Ordinance of the Laws of Hong Kong, please show me the relevant arrest warrant."

The ghost frowned, "Sending vehicles, killing and injuring more than 100 people, Wang Yaotang, I hope you think it over carefully."

Just like ordinary gangsters, they were arrested and no documents were required. They were detained for 48 hours without any problem. No one investigated the issue further.

However, if the regulations are strictly followed, an arrest warrant is required to arrest a person and bring him back to cooperate with the investigation. The application for an arrest warrant requires a series of processes: evidence collection, writing application documents, internal review, submission to the court for approval, and court hearing and decision.

It was the middle of the night, and even if the police could skip the internal procedures, the court would not allow them to work overtime.

"Officer, if you don't have an arrest warrant, we can't cooperate." Jiang Zhizhen stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"Okay!" The ghost snorted coldly and turned away.

Huang Bingyao walked at the end and quietly gave a thumbs up.

After everyone left, Jiang Zhizhen sat down again and frowned at Wang Yaotang. "You were right to refuse to cooperate. The police are in urgent need of pushing someone out to calm public opinion. Even if they can't convict you in the end, the Public Relations Department will guide the media to put the blame on you, and then arrest a group of people to show the effectiveness of the police's actions. In the end, when the storm has passed, it will be nothing."

"What should I do now?" Wang Yaotang asked in a deep voice.

"The perpetrator..."

"escape."

"The vehicle involved in the accident..."

"We should be in the north by now."

"Ah?" Jiang Zhizhen was stunned. "Where?"

"Shekou."

Jiang Zhizhen blinked, "I'm fine."

"What about me now?"

"They are guiding public opinion and putting you in the position of the victim. The police fundamentally don't care about gang fights as long as they don't cause a bad social impact. So how they will proceed will depend on the direction of tomorrow's media reports." Jiang Zhizhen said with a smile, "If the media reports a lot about your store being smashed, nightclubs protecting their guests, and how brutal the other party is, then the police will point the finger at the Lian Gong Le gangs."

"If the coverage focuses on how many people were killed or injured, then the police will point the finger at you."

"I understand." Wang Yaotang nodded. "Damn, it would be nice if I had a few big newspapers."

"Haha, many people think so." Jiang Zhizhen said with a smile: "Newspaper tycoons have never been the richest, but they have always been influential. They are guests of honor of the government, banks, and major companies. However, newspapers are not that easy to run."

"Every year, many people try to start a newspaper, but after all these years, there are still only a few newspapers that can be called major. This is not something that can be started by just hiring a few talented editors in the industry."

"Haha, of course I know." Wang Yaotang understood what the other party meant, but he couldn't publish a major political newspaper, let alone a third-rate tabloid.

I really can't do anything pornographic!
No matter when, LSP is the primary productive force!
However, this is all for the future.

He really doesn't have any connections in the media industry, and I guess Tsuigudong doesn't have any either...

Jiang Zhizhen saw Wang Yaotang looking at him, smiled and shook his head, "I'm not familiar with the newspaper industry."

Wang Yaotang touched his chin and quickly went through every person he had ever come into contact with. Finally, two names appeared in his mind.

Cheng Tung-hon and George Lam.

Once the decision was made, Wang Yaotang did not delay and immediately asked Sha Ze to prepare the car.

Cheng Tung-hon's home is in the Hoover Court, MacDonnell Road, Mid-Levels Central on the main island.

A mid- to high-end residential complex completed last year.

Half an hour later...

After all, he is a person in the entertainment industry. It was 12 o'clock and Zheng Donghan had not rested yet. Hearing the doorbell, he stopped the maid, walked to the door, looked through the peephole, and his heart suddenly started beating wildly.

"Ding Dong"

He frowned, clenched his fists and unclenched them, and after struggling for a few times, he finally opened the door, "Mr. Wang."

"Mr. Zheng, I'm sorry to bother you with my visit."

You know it's rude, but you still come?
Zheng Donghan pulled the corner of his mouth, "Mr. Wang, what's the matter so late?"

"It seems that Mr. Zheng doesn't welcome me in." Wang Yaotang smiled. "Hiding in the small building, Mr. Zheng is at ease, regardless of winter, summer, spring or autumn. But outside, the storm is raging, and hundreds of people have lost their lives because of Mr. Zheng."

"What do you mean?" Zheng Donghan gritted his teeth. After all, he was the general manager of an international giant company in Hong Kong. He was threatened again and again, but he still had some temper.

"Oh, your son is still not asleep so late." Wang Yaotang turned his head to look inside the house.

Zheng Donghan was shocked and turned his head sharply. There was no son there. He felt relieved and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Taking a deep breath, he asked, "What on earth is wrong with you?"

"Go out and talk. Don't worry, I won't harm your family."

"Okay." Zheng Donghan gritted his teeth, turned around to say hello to his wife, changed his clothes and walked out.

In the elevator, Wang Yaotang briefly explained the situation. Zheng Donghan was shocked. He never expected that his momentary decision would lead to such a big thing.

When getting in the car and leaving the community, Wang Yaotang said with a smile: "When they saw that it was a Lincoln Town Car, they didn't ask any questions, they just saluted and let it go."

Zheng Donghan's lips trembled with anger. He was angry but didn't dare to vent it on Wang Yaotang, so he rolled down the car window and yelled, "What are you doing here? Are you acting like a celebrity? We don't need salutes, we need safety! Sense of responsibility, understand? You don't ask questions just because you drive a good car. You can enter at will just because you drive a good car. Does that mean you are a good person?"
