Hong Kong variety show: Hung Hing, are you contributing to society?

The three left the Western District Police Station and got into Wong Chi-shing's car.

In the car, Huang Zhicheng said while driving, "Once we arrive, follow my lead. If Lin Yaodong cooperates, we'll politely 'invite' him back..."

If he doesn't cooperate, we'll consider taking coercive measures. Remember, we're police officers, not gangsters; everything will be done according to procedure.

"Understood," Ma Haotian and Zhang Ziwei replied simultaneously.

The car drove through the Cross-Harbour Tunnel and entered Mong Kok.

Mong Kok is one of the most bustling commercial districts on Hong Kong Island, with shops lining both sides of the street and a constant flow of people.

Huang Zhicheng parked the car on the side of the road, and the three of them walked to Lin Yaodong's property company.

When Huang Zhicheng and his team arrived, there were many people gathered at the company entrance, all wearing uniforms and name tags.

Although some people saw a few people, they didn't pay much attention.

What could be more tempting than a man's soon-to-be-earned salary?

"So many people?" Zhang Ziwei said in a low voice.

"Today seems to be payday," Ma Haotian said. "I heard that Lin Yaodong treats his employees very well. That's why so many people are desperate to get into his company."

Huang Zhicheng scoffed, "Just trying to win people over..."

Then they saw an employee open an envelope containing his salary and count the money.

The three of them widened their eyes in surprise.

That thick stack must have at least 20,000 yuan!

My salary is nowhere near as high.

We earn several thousand a month, and we still have to work our butts off...

But they were all very well-mannered people, and they quickly turned their heads away.

The three entered the building, where two young girls were answering a phone call at the reception desk.

Upon seeing Huang Zhicheng and his two companions, one of the girls stood up and asked, "May I ask what brings you here?"

Huang Zhicheng flashed his badge: "Anti-triad Unit, looking for Lin Yaodong."

The girl's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "Do you have an appointment?"

"No," Ma Haotian said, "but we have important business to discuss with Mr. Lin. Please inform him."

The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll make a phone call."

She picked up the internal phone, dialed a number, whispered a few words, then hung up and said to Huang Zhicheng and the others, "The boss is in a meeting. Please wait in the meeting room."

"No need," Huang Zhicheng said. "We'll just wait here."

The girl seemed a little embarrassed, but didn't say anything more.

The three of them wanted to explore the area, but they were all stopped by others.

They did not have a search warrant and had no right to search.

However, judging from how calm the people here are when they see the police, Chan Ho-nam and his gang shouldn't be here... so they must be at the Causeway Bay branch.

The three of them sat down in the rest area next to the front desk.

Zhang Ziwei looked around and whispered to Ma Haotian, "This company is quite impressive, decorated like a five-star hotel."

Ma Haotian nodded.

He also noticed that the decor here was indeed luxurious.

The marble floor is so shiny it reflects your image, the walls are adorned with famous paintings, and the green plants in the corners are all rare and precious varieties.

The company logo behind the reception desk is made of pure copper and shines brightly under the lights.

Who would believe that the boss of such a company has a triad background?

After waiting for about ten minutes, footsteps were heard in the corridor.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked out with a professional smile: "Officers, I am Chen, the company's administrative manager. Boss Dong is still in a meeting and it may take a while. Why don't you three come to the reception room and have some tea?"

"No need," Huang Zhicheng stood up. "We're short on time. Please tell Mr. Lin that if he doesn't come out now, we'll go inside to find him."

Manager Chen's expression changed slightly, but he maintained his smile: "This... isn't appropriate. The boss is in an important meeting and it's not convenient to disturb him."

"Then we'll go in ourselves," Huang Zhicheng said, starting to walk inside.

"Wait!" Manager Chen quickly stopped him. "I'll go and inform them again. Please wait a moment longer."

If it weren't for Dong-ge's instructions to be polite if the police came to inspect... Manager Chen left in a hurry, the anger in his eyes well concealed.

Five minutes later, he returned, his smile somewhat stiff: "The boss invites the three of you in. However, there are other guests in the conference room, so please be mindful of your behavior."

Huang Zhicheng remained noncommittal and followed Manager Chen inside.

After passing through several corridors, we arrived at a double wooden door.

Manager Chen pushed open the door, revealing a spacious conference room with more than a dozen people sitting around a long conference table.

Sitting in the main seat was Lin Yaodong.

Seeing Huang Zhicheng and his two companions enter, Lin Yaodong stood up, a gentle smile on his face: "Officers, what can I do for you?"

Everyone else in the conference room looked towards the door, their expressions varied.

There was curiosity, wariness, and disdain.

Huang Zhicheng glanced at them and recognized a few of them.

There are presidents of several chambers of commerce in Causeway Bay, heads of community organizations, and two current district councilors.

It seems that Lin Yaodong's meeting today was not simple; he was campaigning for votes in the election.

"Mr. Lin, we need your assistance with an investigation," Huang Zhicheng said. "Could we talk somewhere else?"

Lin Yaodong smiled and said, "Let's just say it here. There's nothing to hide."

Huang Zhicheng didn't mince words, saying directly, "A serious fight occurred last night involving your subordinate Chen Haonan. We would like to ask Mr. Lin to return to the police station to assist with the investigation."

A low murmur of discussion arose in the conference room.

Lin Yaodong remained unfazed, still smiling, and said, "Officer Huang, you've probably misunderstood. I'm a legitimate businessman, and my company operates legally. I never participate in any illegal activities."

"I believe Hao Nan isn't that kind of person..."

"It's not up to you to decide; we'll find out after the investigation," Huang Zhicheng said. "Please cooperate, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yaodong hesitated for a moment, then said to the others in the conference room, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I have something to take care of. Let's end the meeting here for today and discuss the details another day."

The others stood up and shook hands with Lin Yaodong to say goodbye.

As they left, someone gave Huang Zhicheng a disgruntled look, clearly feeling that he had interrupted the important business.

After everyone left, Lin Yaodong closed the door, his smile fading slightly.

"Officer Huang, I know you've been watching me. But I can tell you, you're wasting your time."

I, Lin Yaodong, have always acted in accordance with the law. You may investigate if you wish, but I hope you will not interfere with my normal work.

But Huang Zhicheng interpreted these words as, "I'm meticulous in my work, you can't possibly find any evidence."

"As long as you cooperate, there won't be any problems."

"Okay, I'll cooperate." Lin Yaodong was surprisingly quick to agree. "But I need to call my lawyer first. That shouldn't be against the rules, right?"

"Please go ahead," Huang Zhicheng said.

Lin Yaodong took out his phone, dialed a number, walked to the window, whispered a few words, and then hung up.

He not only called a lawyer, but also instructed his staff to be ready to handle any emergencies.

Then he turned to Huang Zhicheng and said, "My lawyer will be here soon. I won't go anywhere until he arrives."

Huang Zhicheng frowned: "Mr. Lin, this is not cooperating with the police investigation."

"On the contrary, I'm very cooperative." Lin Yaodong sat back in his chair, looking at Huang Zhicheng with a leisurely air.

"But as a citizen, I have the right to be questioned in the presence of a lawyer. That's a right granted to me by law, isn't it, Officer Huang?"

Huang Zhicheng was speechless for a moment.

Lin Yaodong is right; citizens do have the right to be investigated in the presence of a lawyer.

If you forcibly take it away, it will leave you with leverage against us.

He thought that by going to Lin Yaodong's house without any evidence or search warrant, he would provoke Lin Yaodong into cursing or being disrespectful, or even doing something extreme, which would give him an excuse to vent his anger.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yaodong remained calm, and when asked to cooperate with the investigation, he did not react excessively, but simply called his lawyer.

This completely thwarted some of his plans.
