Chapter 454 Can't Take It Out
Seeing this situation, the police officers behind Yan Liguo followed closely, with nervous expressions on their faces, fearing that something unexpected would happen in the next second.
Yan Liguo walked slowly to Lin Zehao, took the initiative to extend his right hand, and said: "Mr. Lin, I have long heard of your great name. I have long heard that you are a handsome man. Today I see that you are indeed as good as your reputation."
"Thank you for your presence. Please go upstairs."
Yan Liguo had a smiling face and did not seem to be aggressive at all, even a little overly humble.
Seeing this, Lin Zehao did not relax at all. Instead, his heart was alarmed and he said with a smile: "Director Yan, congratulations on your promotion. I believe your wife at Bifa Road has received the gift I sent."
Yan Liguo's pupils shrank slightly, and he forced a smile on the corners of his mouth. He didn't say anything but just made a gesture of invitation. Lin Zehao didn't care and walked straight into the police headquarters building.
They took the elevator in silence all the way. When they arrived at the designated meeting room, Xiang Yan, Luo Tuo and Ge Zhixiong had been waiting for a long time.
"Brother Hao, you are really patient. You are always the last one to show up at a time like this. You are really a heroic finale."
As soon as they met, Ge Zhixiong started to act sarcastic, and the sour smell could be smelled even from more than ten meters away.
Lin Zehao glanced at Ge Zhixiong and said with a smile: "That's wrong. It's mainly because the affairs in Haojiang are complicated. I wanted to arrive early, but I had no choice."
"But Gang Leader Ge has nothing to worry about, which is really enviable."
Such an answer was like stabbing Ge Zhixiong in the chest. Everyone present knew that the Number Gang had suffered a great loss in Macau. Not only did they lose a lot of manpower, but even most of their original venues and business were taken away by Hutchison.
If Xinji had not backstabbed the Number Gang at the critical moment, Ge Zhixiong would not even be qualified to be here now.
"Brother Hao, we are all family, don't be so angry right away, why don't you sit down and have some tea together."
Luotuo quickly stood up to persuade them. Although he was senior and old, his strength was the weakest among the four. He could not afford to offend anyone and could only choose to smooth things over.
Xiang Yan didn't say anything, but just stared at Lin Zehao, as if he wanted to see through his heart.
Seeing this, Yan Liguo clapped his hands and said, "I know we are all old acquaintances, but I still want you to talk about the past later. How about listening to me first?"
The camel nodded quickly: "Of course, of course..."
Xiang Yan and Ge Zhixiong snorted coldly, crossed their arms across their chests, and looked disdainful.
Lin Zehao didn't say anything, he just found a seat and sat down, smoking his cigar silently.
"The society is in turmoil right now, and the Governor has appointed me as the Commissioner of Police. Both publicly and privately, I want to make some achievements, to repay the Governor's kindness, to stabilize the country, and to comfort the citizens. Only then can I be worthy of this police uniform, this salary, and the power in my hands."
Yan Liguo spoke in a very high tone and spoke in very beautiful official language. If he were some passionate young people, they would have been excited to the extreme, with flushed faces, clenched fists, and shouted that they would be loyal to the party and the country.
Unfortunately, those present here are all old foxes, and naturally will not be disturbed by such words.
The four of them said nothing, but just looked at Yan Liguo silently, waiting for what was to come.
Yan Liguo was not embarrassed and continued, "Everyone here is an important figure in Hong Kong society. If we want to improve the law and order of Hong Kong Island, it is almost a pipe dream without your help."
"Everyone here is smart. I won't beat around the bush. I want a stable and prosperous Hong Kong Island. I need your help..."
Seeing that the few people were still silent, Yan Liguo cleared his throat and said softly: "Those who have money can contribute money, and those who have strength can contribute strength."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly realized that the newly appointed police chief just wanted to make money by taking advantage of the first three things he did after taking office.
This way things will be easier.
However, the deeper meaning of it forced several people to make a painful choice.
Yan Liguo was not in a hurry either. He just drank his black tea slowly and watched quietly.
After a while, Xiang Yan took the lead in breaking the silent atmosphere.
"Commander Yan, I have always been law-abiding and supportive of this kind of thing."
"So, I will donate HK$10 million to the police force in my personal name."
Xiang Yan took the lead and took out a checkbook from his suit pocket. After filling in the numbers, he handed it to Yan Liguo.
Now the Xinji Fan business is booming, so he is naturally wealthy. If he can build a good relationship with the new big brother with just 10 million, it will definitely be worth the money.
Xiang Yan took the lead and put Luotuo and Ge Zhixiong in a passive position. They were not as wealthy as Xinji. If they also paid according to the standard of 10 million, not only would they lose money, but they would also have a hard time explaining to the society when they returned.
Ge Zhixiong put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Boss Xiang, you are now very wealthy and you can spend 10 million yuan just by talking. How about you pay my share as well?"
Xiang Yan snorted coldly and said, "Boss Ge, please don't make fun of me. Compared to you, all the people present here are juniors. This 10 million may not be a small amount for others, but for you, it is just a drop in the bucket."
Seeing this, Luotuo was no longer silent and said, "These days, making money is like eating shit, and spending money is like having diarrhea. Even though my stall is quite big now, I have to be responsible for the food, drink, and defecation of a large group of people every day..."
"Ten million, I really can't take it out."
At this point, Luo Tuo raised his head and looked at Ge Zhixiong, then continued, "I can only take out two million at most to support the director's career. Boss Ge, what about you?"
The old fox Ge Zhixiong immediately understood what he meant and said, "I can only take out two million."
"I was in a hurry to leave, and there are still many things to deal with at home. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
After saying that, Ge Zhixiong stood up and left without caring whether Yan Liguo agreed or not. Luotuo didn't waste any words and followed him after saying hello.
Xiang Yan smiled disdainfully, then stood up and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to give Lin Zehao a provocative look.
Yan Liguo did not stop him. He just looked at the scene in front of him with a smile and nodded and greeted him from time to time.
After a while, Lin Zehao and Yan Liguo were the only ones left in the huge conference room.
"Mr. Lin, they've all left, but you're still sitting here. Do you have any different opinions?" Lin Zehao exhaled a puff of smoke, crushed the remaining cigar into the ashtray, and said, "I just want to smoke this cigar."
Yan Liguo frowned and said, "Mr. Lin, there are no outsiders here. It's just you and me. I don't want to beat around the bush about some things, so I'll just tell you straight out."
"No matter how much or how little, all three of them have contributed money. You are still planning to play dumb. Isn't that a little unreasonable?"
"Hutchison has been a big name these years. Apart from anything else, the fact that you monopolize Yau Tsim Mong has already made you a target of public criticism. If you don't plan to cooperate, as long as I spread the word, I'm sure there will be many people who will take advantage of your misfortune and hope that you will get into trouble."
Yan Liguo has studied the current situation of the Hong Kong underworld, otherwise he would not have sung such a song.
If you want to make money, you must have the corresponding skills.
Otherwise, if you only think about greed as soon as you close your eyes, you will be not far from death.
Making money, although these two words are naked and vulgar, is also an art.
Lin Zehao looked calm, raised his beautiful eyebrows, and said, "Oh? Director Yan is threatening me?"
Yan Liguo didn't say anything, but the expression on his face said it all.
"I don't like being threatened, and a mere 10 million is really nothing to me. But the decision of whether to give it or not is not yours, but mine."
"I spend money every day, spending money on countless people. It's no exaggeration to say that I don't even know how much money I spend every day."
"You want silver paper? Fine, but you have to do it my way. Otherwise, forget it."
Lin Zehao spoke slowly and calmly with an elegant smile on his face, but his words did not sound so pleasant to Yan Liguo's ears.
These words were almost like scolding him.
"It seems that Boss Lin is very confident, but I still kindly remind you that there are only two of us here. You can say some things, but the conditions will be different outside this door."
As the top police officer, Yan Liguo naturally could not bow his head at this time. Otherwise, how could he have any power and dignity in front of Lin Zehao in the future?
The same goes for Lin Zehao. If he is subdued by Yan Liguo this time and honestly hands over the money, how can he survive in the underworld in the future?
There is no impenetrable wall in this world. When something is known by a second person other than yourself, it means everyone knows it.
Yan Liguo asked the four of them to come here today. On the surface, it seemed that they wanted to make money, but in fact, he wanted to establish his own prestige and status, as well as his future dominance!
In this matter, what is lost is never money, but face and dignity!
Xiang Yan and the other three naturally saw this, but they bowed their heads and admitted defeat because they thought that bandits should not fight against officials.
Of course, the most important thing is that the income of the venues under the three of them mainly comes from running brothels, horse stables and casinos, and there is almost no legitimate income. As a result, they are guilty and naturally afraid that Yan Liguo, the new police commissioner, will mobilize the police force to target them in anger.
For the three of them, bowing their heads was embarrassing, but it was also a relatively rational choice.
Anyway, in their opinion, anything that happens in this meeting room will not be spread out. After all, they are all in the same boat, and no one will take the initiative to leak it, let alone be known by their subordinates. If there is no one to see the shame, then it is not a real shame.
However, Lin Zehao had different ideas from the others. In some confrontations, as long as he took a step back, the only thing left was endless concessions!
"Haha, Director Yan, I thought you put a lot of effort into gathering intelligence, but now it seems there are still some big omissions." Lin Zehao slightly bent his index finger and began tapping the table. The rhythm was consistent, yet it seemed to have some kind of magic.
"No one in Hong Kong knows that I am not from a wealthy family. The reason I can get to where I am today is all because of the support of my brothers and the passion in my heart."
"Although I wear a suit and tie now, the brothers below are still the same as before. There are some things that I explain to them, but they may not be willing to listen."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zehao stood up, sorted out his clothes, and walked slowly to the door. The moment he held the door handle, he stopped and said, "Director Yan, if you change your mind, you can come to the top of Victoria Peak to find me."
After saying that, Lin Zehao no longer hesitated and strode out of the door, leaving only a handsome back.
Yan Liguo frowned, his face gloomy and uncertain.
As soon as Lin Zehao got in the car, his eldest brother's phone rang. After answering the call, Yang Chengrong's voice came out, "Brother Hao, Ni Kun is dead. He was on the Ni family's territory. He was rehearsing at the traditional opera club at the time. There were no witnesses."
Lin Zehao was surprised. After thinking for a moment, he thought of a possibility and said, "Now that Ni Kun is dead, the Ni family will definitely not stop. Send someone to keep an eye on the main figures of the Ni family for 20 hours, especially the four kings under their command."
"Han Chen, send double the number of people. If you have any news, report to me immediately."
Yang Chengrong nodded heavily and said, "Understood, Brother Hao."
There is a saying that there are three major families in Hong Kong who have fans, namely the Wang brothers, the Ni family and the Lin family. The first two are the fans, while the latter are the dealers who sell the products.
Among them, the Wang brothers had been killed by Tornado, and now Ni Kun was in trouble too, leaving only the Lin family hiding in the darkness.
As the situation in Hong Kong is turbulent right now, Ni Kun’s death is definitely a fuse, and who knows how many societies and forces will be affected.
As the news of Ni Kun’s death spread, the entire Hong Kong underworld became like a boiling oil pan and began to become active.
Ni family.
In the study, the children of the Ni family gathered together, and the atmosphere was heavy and sad.
Ni Yongzhong, the eldest of the Ni family, spoke first, "My father died so suddenly, and he didn't leave any explanation. What should we do now?"
He seemed to be soliciting everyone's opinions, but in fact he was focusing his attention on the second oldest, Ni Yongxiao.
He was raised by his family to study since he was young, and became a doctor after graduation. He had never been involved in family affairs and could be said to know nothing about them.
Ni Yongxiao is different. He has always been in charge of the accounts of the family business and knows many things much better than him.
"If it were up to me, we should just sell off all the family businesses. No matter how much it sells for, we can split it equally among ourselves. We can use the money as start-up capital, and maybe we can help the family make a comeback in the future."
"However, there is no place for you, elder sister. After all, you are already married and are not considered a member of the Ni family."
