He didn't help, not only because Lin Zhengyi had taken advantage of his family's assets, which made him resentful towards Lin Zhengyi, but also because he wasn't stupid.
Lin Zhengyi is a police superintendent, while they are a group of petty thieves who have just entered the workforce; their statuses are worlds apart.
In this situation, whatever Lin Zhengyi asked them to do for him might be a small matter for Lin Zhengyi, but for insignificant people like them, it would be a huge deal.
Once you agree to help, you may face great danger, or even death.
He'd have to be crazy to agree to that!
The others were also shrewd; after exchanging glances, they all came to the same conclusion.
However, they remained silent.
Since Curly is Lin Zhengyi's brother-in-law, it's perfectly fine for him to refuse. Lin Zhengyi would never do anything to him, and even if he did, Zhong Xiaomei would stop him.
But if they refused, what if Lin Zhengyi retaliated against them?
They weren't Lin Zhengyi's brother-in-law, nor did they have a sister to speak up for them or stop them. They were doomed.
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you help or not. You've already gotten yourself into a dangerous situation. If I don't help, you'll be in danger. If you help, I can at least guarantee your safety!" Lin Zhengyi said with a slight smile, not in a hurry.
Listen!
Everyone frowned.
Curly-haired Ji narrowed his eyes, slightly puzzled, and asked, "Dangerous thing? What dangerous thing?"
Lin Zhengyi smiled, said nothing, turned around and went to the teapot where he was tidying up the cleaning tools, and took out a suitcase from one of the buckets.
Then!
He then laughed and said, "This is the danger!"
"Um!?"
The group exchanged glances and frowned.
Whose suitcase is this?
After glancing at the group, Curly-haired Ji couldn't help but ask.
He remembered that none of them had brought such a box with them among their cleaning tools!
"I don't know, I don't remember we having this box!"
"Yes, where did this box come from?"
"Yeah, yeah, where did the box come from?"
The group exchanged glances and all voiced their doubts.
"Don't even think about it. This box doesn't belong to you; it belongs to Chen Chao!" Lin Zhengyi said calmly.
"Who is Chen Chao? Why is his box here with us?" Curly asked.
"Chen Chao is the owner of the villa you were cleaning today. He's also a gangster. This box was discovered by a cop when one of Chen Chao's men was making a deal with another group."
"Afterwards, a conflict broke out between the two sides. The police chased the two groups around, and the person carrying the box was about to be caught when he bumped into your car. In the end, he accidentally left the box inside your car."
Following the plot of the movie, Lin Zhengyi explained the origin of the box to them in detail, and then said, "And what's inside this box is nothing other than a printing plate for making counterfeit money!"
Hear this!
Everyone frowned, and Curly couldn't help but ask, "But what does this have to do with us?"
"Do you think Chen Chao will come looking for the lost printing plate?" Lin Zhengyi smiled slightly.
“If they come looking for us, we’ll just hand them over, won’t that be enough?” Curly-haired Ji said again.
"So, do you think you can hand it over?" Lin Zhengyi's smile widened.
"Why can't we hand it in? The circuit board is right there." Curly asked, slightly puzzled.
The words fell!
Lin Zhengyi had not yet spoken.
Lanx, standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "Are you an idiot? Putting aside the fact that Inspector Lin is a cop, he wouldn't leave us with the counterfeit money printing plates. Besides, who is Chen Chao? He's a gangster!"
"Now that you know these are counterfeit banknote printing plates, and you know about this, do you think he'll still let you live? Even if you hand over the plates, so what? You have to die, otherwise you'll become witnesses to his crimes!"
In one sentence, he directly enlightened Curly, and also enlightened the others.
This made them realize that, regardless of whether they obtained the film copy intentionally or unintentionally, from the moment they obtained it, they became witnesses.
In this situation, even if they hand over the printing plate, what difference does it make? They still have to die!
"Therefore, you must cooperate and do things for me. To be more precise, it's the three of you!"
At this moment, Lin Zhengyi said this in a low voice, and pointed with his finger at the other three lucky stars besides Lanx and Curly.
The other three, seeing this, were left bewildered.
Chapter 666 Unfaithful
The other three, namely Teapot, Death's Throat, and Vaseline, looked completely bewildered.
Why?
Why should they be obligated to do things for Lin Zhengyi?
Think of this!
Death Throat overcame his fear of Lin Zhengyi and couldn't help but ask, "Why? Why should the three of us have to do things for you? Why don't the other two?"
“First of all, if you don’t help me, you will definitely die. Chen Chao will never let you go. Secondly, your help is dangerous. Curly Hair is Zhong Xiaomei’s older brother and also my brother-in-law. Naturally, I won’t let him be in danger!” Lin Zhengyi explained with a slight smile.
"But, but why doesn't he use it either?" Death's Throat couldn't help but point at Lanx beside him and ask.
Indeed, although they didn't know what Lin Zhengyi wanted them to do, it was obvious that it was related to the capture of Chen Chao, and if they didn't help, their lives would be in danger.
In this situation, he'll help if he wants.
But why were there only three people helping out?
Curly Hair is one thing, but he's Lin Zhengyi's brother-in-law. Given that relationship, it's understandable that people wouldn't let their brother-in-law take any risks.
The question is, what gives Ranks the right?
Why should he be exempt from helping?
“It’s simple, because you can call him Inspector Lan!” Lin Zhengyi said with a slight smile.
As soon as these words came out!
Everyone present, except for Lanx and Lin Zhengyi, was stunned.
"What do you mean?" Curly couldn't help but ask.
Talking time!
He and three others couldn't help but focus their attention on Lanx.
Faced with this situation, Lanx didn't know what to say and could only awkwardly touch his nose.
As for how Lin Zhengyi knew he was an undercover agent, Lanx was not surprised.
He was previously the chief inspector of the anti-triad unit, a high-ranking position. His identity within the unit wasn't kept too secret, so it wouldn't be difficult for Lin Zhengyi, a police superintendent, to find out his identity; a simple investigation of internal documents would suffice.
"Because he's an undercover agent, he's one of our own!" At this moment, Lin Zhengyi explained Lanx's identity with a smile.
"???"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed surprise and doubt, and they couldn't help but look at Lanx.
Is Lanx an undercover agent?
Is he a cop?
They had absolutely no idea about this, and couldn't possibly see it!
To this!
What else could Lanx say?
He could only nod awkwardly, which was considered an admission of his identity!
Faced with this situation, everyone looked at each other, with a thousand words on their minds.
But at this moment!
As if he could read their minds, Lin Zhengyi spoke up, saying, "Alright, whatever you want to say, you can discuss it privately later. Now, do you agree to help?"
Upon hearing Lin Zhengyi's words, the group had no choice but to temporarily suppress their doubts about Lanx's identity.
Turn around!
After exchanging glances, Vaseline hesitated before speaking, "Tell me how you'd like to help?"
The others nodded in agreement.
They wanted to know what it was all about; if it was really too dangerous, they wouldn't accept it.
To this!
Lin Zhengyi laughed and said, "It's very simple, just call Chen Chao and ask him for the money!"
"?"
A look of confusion appeared on everyone's faces.
Why would someone call Chen Chao asking for money?
Before they could even suggest a group, Lin Zhengyi continued, “You two, under the guise of counterfeit banknote printing plates, ask him for money, then agree to meet at a certain place for the transaction. During the transaction, try to get him to admit that the printing plates belong to him and that he is there to trade them.”
"At that time, I will have people set up video cameras nearby. Once he confesses, it will be considered conclusive evidence. I will have people lying in ambush outside, and then we will arrest him in one fell swoop."
He said it very casually.
It seemed like things were going very smoothly, with no real danger.
But Vaseline and others aren't fools either.
Lin Zhengyi made it sound so easy, but they could see through the trick.
For example, when Chen Chao comes to them for a deal, will he bring a gun?
