Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 194 Surrounding the Police Station
Li Jiayuan rubbed his sore eyes, sat up from the bed, and lingered on Chen Zhili for a long time.

"What's up?"

Chen Zhili's lips twitched outside. He had imagined many scenarios of meeting, but he did not expect Li Jiayuan to react so calmly when facing him. Did he not know who he was?

Of course, Li Jiayuan knew who Chen Zhili was. He had investigated the Welfare Department and knew that she was the Director of the Welfare Department, but to him, Chen Zhili was just a minor, dispensable figure.

This time, what he's going to do isn't something a mere bureau chief can get involved in; the real target is the people in the welfare bureau above him.

His only surprise was that the first person to come to him was Chen Zhili. But it wasn't hard to understand; Chen Zhili's presence here meant that he was about to break under the pressure from above.

The fact that they arrested themselves also reflects that they were afraid that the protests would grow larger under their leadership, so they wanted to arrest themselves first.

First, minimize the impact, or even make yourself hesitant to act rashly.

They just didn't expect that even though he was inside, the protesters still wouldn't give up and continued to surround the Welfare Department day and night, so Chen Zhili came.

They were clearly underestimating their opponents and overestimating themselves in trying to find new solutions within themselves.

One Chen Zhili is no longer enough to put up as many chips on the gambling table.

"Get to the point if you have something to say, otherwise don't disturb my sleep."

Chen Zhili's initially amiable face gradually turned cold. This was not what he expected. They had detained Li Jiayuan for a day, but this guy was not afraid at all and did not care at all.

Considering it wasn't the right time to turn against each other, Chen Zhili put on a smile again.

"Li Jiayuan, regarding the proposal you put forward, our Welfare Department has already reported it to the leaders of the Welfare Bureau. They have agreed to your proposal, so the approval process is complete and it will be approved soon."

So, could you perhaps allow the protesters to return to their jobs first, in order to minimize the social impact?

Chen Zhili's solution was to stall, to coax Li Jiayuan into letting everyone disperse and calming them down. After a month or two, once the anger had subsided, and some problems arose in the approval process, the matter would be resolved.

Once that momentum dissipates, it will be difficult to gather it back together.

If Li Jiayuan is truly unyielding, then we will have no choice but to take strong measures to suppress his businesses, and we will not be afraid that he will not comply.

Sitting on the bed, Li Jiayuan listened to Chen Zhili's speech, his face full of mockery.

Hey buddy, you're one of Longgen's underlings, how can you just make empty promises? You haven't taken any real action, just talking big and trying to break up the march, do you think you're a fool?

Since the other party wasn't sincere, Li Jiayuan didn't intend to waste any more time. He'd just stay wherever the two of them were. Besides, he hadn't settled the score for getting himself involved yet.

“I don’t care about the people who are protesting, what’s the use of you coming to me? You go talk to them.”

Chen Zhili's awkward smile vanished instantly, and she stood up.

"Li Jiayuan, don't be stubborn and refuse to listen to reason. We are willing to sit down and talk to you, which is a favor to you. Continuing to make trouble will not end well for anyone. As long as you can appease the people protesting outside."

"Now you can leave here, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? Threatening me!"

Li Jiayuan's lips curled up as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. This was the first time someone had threatened him to his face. He believed that if Chen Zhili had known about the Young and Dangerous gang, he would never have dared to say such a thing.

The last person who threatened him is now buried with grass three meters tall.

"Let me tell you, whether I can leave or not is not up to you. In less than two days, you'll obediently come and ask me to leave. I'm telling you."

"Heh, we'll see."

Chen Zhili ultimately left in anger.

The following afternoon, Bao Wenlong brought Luo Liya to see Li Jiayuan. "Brother Yuan, the tax bureau people suddenly came to audit the accounts today, they're watching very closely, someone's up to no good."

"Also, as you instructed, all those who participated in the march were covered by the community property management company at public expense, and Shanji secretly contacted another group of people."

Bao Wenlong reported on his work, all of which had been arranged in advance by Li Jiayuan. He wasn't worried about those things; what he was worried about was the accounts.

"Keep a close eye on how the audit is going; we can't afford any mistakes, especially at this crucial time."

"I understand, Brother Yuan."

Li Jiayuan thought for a moment and looked at Luo Liya.

“LA, go find Chicken and spread the word that I was arrested. He knows what to do.”

"it is good"

Luo Liya nodded excitedly. This life was so exciting! He had only been a member of the community property management for a short time, but even this old man's heart was already active. First, he went to the Zhong family.

Now it's the welfare bureau, and it still has to be Brother Yuan, he's brave enough.

Li Jiayuan's goal was simple: since Chen Zhili and his group had used underhanded tactics to lock him up, he would just stay there. He hadn't originally planned to spread the news, but Chen Zhili's attitude yesterday had made him very unhappy.

As soon as news of his arrest reaches Yau Ma Tei, with a little maneuvering, the police will be carrying him out in a grand procession tomorrow.

Since things have come to this, let's make things even bigger.

Having received their orders, Bao Wenlong and Luo Liya returned home. In the afternoon, a piece of news spread, shaking the entire Yau Ma Tei district.

"What did you say? Yuan-ge got arrested by those cops!!"

The back square of Baoling Street, as Li Jiayuan's old stronghold, was the most developed news hub, so the residents of Baoling Street were among the first to receive information.

"Who told you all this? Is it true or false?!"

Uncle Chen stood in the center of the crowd.

"It's absolutely true! My aunt's cousin works at the property management office. He saw those people take Yuan away with his own eyes. They used underhanded tactics to get Yuan arrested!!"

"What a damned beast!!"

As Uncle Chen spoke, his face turned bright red with anger. If it weren't for his still loud and clear voice, it would be hard not to wonder if he might just pass out.

Other neighbors thought about how Li Jiayuan and the property management company usually treated them, and at that moment, a burning flame ignited in their hearts as well.

When Shanji spread the news, he didn't say that Li Jiayuan would be out in a couple of days, so the neighbors thought that once he went in, he wouldn't be able to come out, and that the community property management was their talisman.

Everyone held Li Jiayuan in the highest esteem, and now that he had been arrested under these circumstances, how could they tolerate it?

“No, Yuan was arrested for helping us. If we go to the police station and they don’t release Yuan, I’ll kill myself at their doorstep.”

This statement was met with unanimous approval from everyone.

"Yes, go to the police station and kidnap him."

"If you don't release them, we'll burn it down."

"."

A group of crazy old men and women, like powerful officials with immunity from death, who can control them?

The most alarming thing is that this situation is happening all over Yau Ma Tei, and it's not just happening in one place.

The officers at Wan Chai Police Station were waiting to go home and rest when they were about to leave for the day. What they saw there almost scared the ghosts out of them.

The police station is surrounded!!!
