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

Ma Haotian and Zhang Ziwei, along with two subordinates, were jogging along Jianing Street, panting heavily.

Their faces showed anxiety, and large beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, indicating that they had been searching for a long time.

Not long ago, they received a report from patrol officers that they had seen Lin Yaodong's Bentley on Jianing Street.

I stumbled upon this scene while searching all the way here.

Ma Haotian took the lead and rushed to Lin Yaodong in one stride.

He quickly steadied his rapid breathing, skillfully pulled out his identification from his pocket, and presented it crisply. His eyes were sharp as he stared at Lin Yaodong, and he said, word by word, "Wealth Investigation Department, Senior Inspector Ma Haotian."

He specifically emphasized the words "Wealth Investigation Department".

Looking at the face in front of him that resembled a certain movie star, and then glancing at Zhang Ziwei next to him with a fierce expression, Lin Yaodong immediately understood.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed his face, but it wasn't because the police had come knocking—he had expected the police's attention; in this complex circle, his every move was under scrutiny.

It's not because of the familiarity between the two faces, but because of how well they are recognized.

But he quickly regained his composure, remaining calm and collected with a serene smile on his face. He even carefully helped the elderly woman, who had been startled by the sudden turn of events, to her feet.

"Grandma, don't be afraid, they are just some police officers."

"Excuse me, officers, what can I do for you?" Lin Yaodong's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

Looking at Lin Yaodong's calm and composed demeanor, which was even more so than gentle and modest, Ma Haotian frowned slightly. This was quite different from the image of an arrogant gangster or a cunning financial criminal that he had imagined.

In his mind, people like Lin Yaodong were either arrogant and domineering, or cunning and treacherous, good at disguising themselves. But the Lin Yaodong in front of him was so polite, which made him feel a little puzzled.

But his tone remained stern and unequivocal: "Lin Yaodong, our police suspect you of involvement in a massive money laundering operation using the stock market! Please come with us to the police station immediately to cooperate with the investigation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Liangshui, who was standing next to Lin Yaodong, immediately stepped forward and stood between Lin Yaodong and Ma Haotian.

Lin Liangshui, Lin Yaodong's private lawyer, was dressed in a sharp suit with a professional smile on his face: "Sir, arresting someone requires evidence."

My client is a legitimate businessman and a well-known philanthropist.

Do you have any solid evidence for what you just said about "suspected money laundering"?

If you attempt to take my client away in broad daylight without any evidence, I reserve the right to pursue legal action against you for defamation and abuse of power.

As he spoke, he elegantly took out his lawyer's license from the inside pocket of his suit and handed it to Ma Haotian and Zhang Ziwei.

Zhang Ziwei curled his lip in disdain, looked Lin Liangshui up and down, and said in a very aggressive tone: "Lawyer?"

Hmph, it's you heartless lawyers again who help bad guys get acquitted!

Let me tell you, even if you're a lawyer, or even if Jesus came, I, Ah Wei, would still arrest Lin Yaodong today!

He was extremely agitated, his eyes revealing a firm resolve and anger, as if Lin Yaodong were an unpardonable criminal who must be punished by law.

Lin Liangshui was not afraid at all, but instead smiled and said, "Sir, don't get so angry."

Everyone is equal before the law.

My client has the right to consult with a lawyer before being questioned; this is a basic procedure. If you don't have an arrest warrant, you probably can't just arrest my client like this, can you?

"Why don't we first discuss the basis of your so-called suspicions?"

Ma Haotian stopped Zhang Ziwei, who was about to lash out again. He stared at Lin Liangshui, then looked at Lin Yaodong, who was being protected by Lin Liangshui and still supporting the old man with a calm expression. He knew that it would probably not be so easy to take the person away today.

This Lin Yaodong is much more difficult to deal with than he imagined. Not only does he have a quick-thinking lawyer by his side, but the current scene—helping an old man while the lawyer holds a cane—is simply the perfect stage to create a perfectly innocent image.

This place is very close to the nursing home, and many elderly people still stroll and chat in groups of three or five nearby.

Ma Haotian and his group arrived with great force, attracting their attention.

Some elderly people stopped and looked around curiously, wondering what had happened.

"What happened over there?"

"It seems that Ah Dong was stopped by a few people."

"Go and take a look quickly."

"I'd like to see who dares to mess with Ah Tung in Causeway Bay!?"

Soon, a group of elderly people gathered around. Some were leaning on canes, some were carrying birdcages, and some were holding thermos cups. Their faces showed confusion and dissatisfaction.

Zhang Ziwei frowned and said impatiently, "What are you doing? We're just running errands. Unimportant people, don't crowd around here."

His tone carried a hint of warning as he tried to get the elderly people to disperse.

The old men immediately retorted, "What are you doing?"

"So what if you're a cop?"

"Exactly, does that mean the police can just arrest people arbitrarily?"

"You bunch of new cops? Don't you recognize our Causeway Bay Ah Tung?"

Their voices rose and fell, filled with anger and discontent.

In their minds, Lam Yiu-tung was a good man who often did charity work in Causeway Bay, helping those in need. They would not allow anyone to bully him.

Seeing that something was wrong, Ma Haotian withdrew his hand that was reaching for the handcuffs on his side.

He knew that these elderly people were long-time residents of Causeway Bay and had a certain influence in the area. Forcibly dispersing them might cause even bigger trouble.

But Zhang Ziwei looked at the group of old men and didn't pay them any attention.

His gaze locked onto Lin Yaodong again, and he took out handcuffs, saying in a forceful tone, "If you have anything to say, you can come back with us and see a lawyer. But everything you say now is evidence in court..."

"I'll fuck you!" Before Zhang Ziwei could finish speaking, an old man started cursing.

"You arrest good people like Ah Dong? Are there any good people left in this world?!"

"That's right!"

"We can't let them take Adong away!"

"I want to file a complaint!"

"Accept the complaint!"

The elderly people began to criticize Zhang Ziwei, and their emotions suddenly became very agitated.

Zhang Ziwei didn't expect that his mere assertiveness would elicit such a strong reaction from these people.

If we get so many complaints, it's no small matter.

He looked at Ma Haotian, waiting for him to make a decision.

Seeing that more and more elderly people were gathering around, Ma Haotian quickly told Zhang Ziwei to put the handcuffs away.

He knew that Lam Yiu-tung was very famous in Causeway Bay because the Wan Chai Police Station had arrested him once before. On that occasion, a group of elderly people surrounded the police station, making the Wan Chai Police Station look disheveled.

It was later proven that Lin Yaodong was indeed innocent.

This time they only had suspicions, not evidence.

If Lin Yaodong is forcibly taken away today, and then unable to sue him afterwards... he cannot bear the consequences.

With these elderly folks around, it seems they'll try to forcibly stop Lin Yaodong from taking him away.

If I were to fall or get injured, I'd probably be skinned alive.

Thinking of this, Ma Haotian knew that they shouldn't take Lin Yaodong away in public. It would be best to find another time when Lin Yaodong was alone.

Seeing that Ma Haotian was silent, Zhang Ziwei assumed that Ma Haotian had tacitly approved of him forcibly taking Lin Yaodong away.

He turned and pointed at the elderly men and women, saying, "Let me tell you! We're from the Wealth Investigation Department!"

"We now suspect Lin Yaodong of involvement in money laundering activities, so we need to take him back. Your actions of surrounding him here are obstructing official business!"

"besides!"

"Today, I'm taking Lin Yaodong with me. Not even Jesus could stop him, let alone you!"

"I've got my hands on Lin Yaodong, I said it!"

Not only Lin Yaodong and the group of elderly people, but even Ma Haotian was stunned by Zhang Ziwei's words.
