Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 147 "146" This time, I have to fight with Boss Li

"It was the cable bridge that caught fire first!"

“How could they do this!”

David couldn't help but get angry.

"They even framed the deceased. They want to leave no evidence!"

As a former policeman, his sense of justice is much stronger than Wuying's. He was very angry when he saw this behavior of confusing right and wrong.

this moment,
David was very disappointed with the Fire Department.

The blackfly was also very unhappy.

Obviously, this is for money.

That cucumber tycoon is really powerful. Not only does he monopolize the news, he even gets involved with the Fire Department.

quickly,

The two were told by the editor-in-chief of the newspaper that their boss was in Canada and would not be back until tomorrow.

Wuying and David had no choice but to leave.

On the way back,
in the car,

David said with a heavy face, "Brother Wuying, if we really acquire Sing Tao Daily, I think the first thing we should do is to speak up for the residents of Shantou Street who were in the fire and tell the whole of Hong Kong that the fire started from the cables."

Wuying nodded: "This is exactly what Zu Ge wanted to do."

David said angrily: "Brother Wuying, why do you think these people have no conscience at all?"

Wuying spread his hands: "I don't know either."

David was a little annoyed because Zu Ge knew to help the neighbors, but those people only accepted bribes.

Thinking about my identity as a police officer and the education I had received to "fight crime", I felt complicated for a moment.

Who is committing the sin?
……

……

19:00,

TVB and ATV News simultaneously broadcast reports on the Fire Services Department’s press conference.

Moderator Wen Huixin:

"Good evening, this is TVB Evening News..."

"This afternoon, the Director of Fire Services held a press conference to inform the public of the latest progress of the investigation into the Shantou Street fire incident which has attracted much attention recently."

"After a meticulous on-site investigation and professional analysis by the Fire Department, the cause of the fire has been determined - it was an unfortunate accident caused by residents' improper use of fire."

"This tragedy happened in a residential building on Shantou Street, and the fire started in the home of a 60-year-old widower. Unfortunately, the old man died in the fire, which is heartbreaking."

"The fire department expressed deep condolences and stressed that it will further strengthen community fire safety education and publicity to raise public awareness of fire prevention and avoid similar tragedies from happening again."

"The Director of Fire Services also called on all citizens to pay attention to fire safety in their daily lives, especially elderly people living alone and families with children, who should strengthen supervision and self-protection to ensure the safety of life and property..."

On this side of Shantou Street,
The affected residents and surrounding neighbors were devastated when they heard the news.

Citizens were furious.
"Shameless! Absolutely shameless!"

"It was the cable bridge that caught fire first, but now they are putting the blame on a dead old man."

"Do they still have a conscience?"

"The electric company doesn't want to pay a penny."

"It's so infuriating."

Originally they were still looking forward to it. Even though they suffered losses, as long as the electric light company could compensate them, it would not be a big deal. It didn't matter if they suffered a little loss. After all, it was their own fault.

Now, as soon as this announcement came out, coupled with the recent news in Hong Kong promoting the safe use of fire and electricity...

The electric light company is trying to cheat.

The surrounding streets were in complete chaos.

……

The street next door,

Fruit shop,
Lu Jiayao and his family were also watching TV. (From "Prison on Fire")
Lu Jiayao was an eyewitness that day. When he saw the news, he became furious and started cursing.

"These people are too shameless!"

"I saw the cable bridge on fire with my own eyes. Now they are framing an elderly widow. Have their consciences been eaten by dogs?"

Lu Jiayao was an intellectual who had just entered society. He naturally had a sense of justice and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

at this time,

"Excuse me, is Lu Jiayao here?"

Several people in suits walked in.

The leader among them wore glasses and looked very smart.

Lu Jiayao looked at this group of people, a little puzzled: "Who are you?"

The man in the suit smiled and said, "Hello, I am a transaction lawyer at Sidley Austin LLP. You can just call me Lawyer Chen."

When Lu Jiayao heard this, he was shocked.

He is not a gangster and is very familiar with the law firms in Hong Kong. Sidley Austin LLP is one of the most famous law firms in Hong Kong Island and is very powerful.

The levels of lawyers are divided into transactional lawyers and barristers.

A barrister is a top-notch lawyer.

Although the one in front of me is just an ordinary transaction lawyer, he comes from a big law firm and is not so easy to mess with.

Lu Jiayao suddenly felt a little shorter: "Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Lawyer Chen glanced at the fruit shop and smiled: "I don't think this is a suitable place to discuss things... Let's talk in my car."

Lu Jiayao nodded: "Okay."

quickly,

Lawyer Chen took Lu Jiayao and got into a Mercedes-Benz.

in the car,

Lawyer Chen said, "Mr. Lu, this time, I am here on behalf of a certain boss to talk to you about the fire... We are willing to pay 10 Hong Kong dollars, and hope that Mr. Lu will say something inappropriate about the cause of the fire."

Lu Jiayao was such a smart man that his expression changed immediately: "You bribed me?"

Lawyer Chen smiled and said, "Don't say it so harshly. We are just taking what we need... If I have investigated correctly, you are just a designer who has been employed for less than a year and your salary is only 5000 Hong Kong dollars. 10 is equivalent to your salary for 20 months, almost 2 years."

Lu Jiayao looked grim: "If I say no, what will you do?"

"How to do it?" Lawyer Chen chuckled. "You know my boss's position in the business world very well. If he gives you a word, you will be out of work immediately. You won't even be able to find a job in the future..."

Lu Jiayao was so angry that he trembled: "You are so despicable!"

Lawyer Chen: "Hey, don't be so harsh. We are all trying to make a living. There is no such thing as being despicable or not... In this way, I will give you 15!"

Lu Jiayao said angrily: "Do I have no choice then?"

Lawyer Chen shrugged: "It's up to you... and your father's fruit stall... and your sister is going to take the college entrance examination... You are not alone, you should think more about your family."

Why did the law firm send Lawyer Chen?
Because he has no bottom line, he is most suitable to deal with ordinary people like Lu Jiayao.

Lu Jiayao clenched his fists and trembled with anger.

Lawyer Chen patiently persuaded: "If you want more, you can name an amount and we will try our best to meet it."

Lu Jiayao was not a greedy person, he gritted his teeth and said, "Just follow your number."

As for not taking the money?
Wouldn't that be a bargain for this scumbag?

Lawyer Chen smiled: "Very good, happy cooperation!"

Lu Jiayao: “Humph!”

Soon, Lawyer Chen asked someone to transfer money to Lu Jiayao's card: "The money has been transferred. I hope Mr. Lu can keep it a secret."

Lu Jiayao got out of the car with a sullen face.

The Mercedes drove away.

Suddenly, Lu Jiayao reacted: "Wait... don't we have to sign a confidentiality agreement? What if I tell the truth in the end, then..."

He was confused for a moment.

On the way,

The secretary asked Lawyer Chen: "Next, should we sue him for extortion and get the money back? 10 is enough to send him to jail for a few years."

Lawyer Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry. At least wait until this matter cools down before you can take any action. If he behaves well, it's not a bad idea to let him go."

"Where's the next one?"

The secretary took out a piece of paper. This piece of paper was a list of witness statements obtained from the police.

"The next one is... Huang Guantao!"

The secretary introduced: "We have investigated and found that Huang Guantao was adopted by his adoptive parents, who are still alive, and his brother Huang Guanhua has just been released from prison..." (From "The Brother Killer")
"it is good!"

For lawyers, it is extremely easy to deal with these ignorant citizens of the law.

……

After half an hour,
"10?"

Huang Guantao's first reaction after hearing what Lawyer Chen said was anger, because he was also a nearby resident and knew the misery on Shantou Street. He angrily said, "Impossible! I don't want this kind of money!"

Lawyer Chen still used the same words as Lu Jiayao to threaten Huang Guantao, what about work and family...

but,

Huang Guantao's situation is different from Lu Jiayao's. Huang Guantao does not have a necessary job, nor does he have a sister who is going to college.

Huang Guantao didn't buy it at all.

"You tell me a number, 20, 30..."

Lawyer Chen was neither hurried nor slow.

Hearing how much the price had increased all of a sudden, Huang Guantao couldn't help but waver.

Lawyer Chen patiently persuaded: "No matter how much you say, we are willing to pay, as long as you don't go out and say nonsense."

Huang Guantao hesitated for a moment and suddenly thought of something.

Guan Zu!

Last time, Guan Zu helped punish his brother, bringing peace to the family for a few days.

And now, he also knew that Guan Zuzheng was sending people to collect evidence and information, obviously wanting to help the residents of Shantou Street.

And the lawyer in front of him didn't look like a good person at first glance.

"Perhaps, I should calm him down first, and then seek help from Mr. Guan to see what he thinks."

Thinking of this, Huang Guantao said, "I need to think about it. I'll give you an answer tomorrow. How about that?"

Lawyer Chen smiled and said, "No problem. Here's my business card. Call me when you've made up your mind."

quickly,

Lawyer Chen went downstairs with his secretary.

in the car,

The secretary asked, “What now?”

Lawyer Chen chuckled: "Do you think you can refuse just because you disagree? Naive... Just transfer the money to his bank card, 10 will be enough."

The secretary nodded: "Yes!"

Upstairs, Huang Guantao picked up the phone number left by Laughing and called.

"Hey……"

……

……

Guan Zu,

While eating with Ruan Mei, I watched TVB news.

"At the same time, the Director of Fire Services also stated that the fire department will continue to strengthen the investigation of fire hazards and strive to ensure the safety of citizens' living environment..."

After seeing the press conference of the Fire Services Department, I was not surprised at all.

Come to think of it, the cucumber tycoon is not an ordinary person. Even the Governor of Hong Kong has to give him face. Why shouldn’t the subordinates of his subordinates give him face?
at this time,

"Your subordinates organized rescue operations and provided food, water, and a small amount of financial support to the affected citizens..."

"Your good deeds have spread throughout Wan Chai..."

"You get the following rewards:"

"Reward 1: Wan Chai support rate +1% (24%)!"

"Reward 2: Spend money and get a direct cashback of HK$100 million."

Next,
I watched some more news, and about 20 minutes passed.

Ring ring ring~~~~
Guan Zu's phone rang.

Chen Yongren's.

"Brother Zu, something happened..."

Chen Yongren's tone seemed a little angry.

"I just received a call from the witness, saying that a lawyer came to him and wanted to bribe him..."

"Then, I called several other witnesses, and some of them had already received the money..."

Guan Zu's face darkened.

He indeed overlooked this point, as Guan Zu itself had no resident lawyer.

Guan Zu thought about it and felt that these lawyers were all quite dirty.

Guan Zu advised: "Go find a lawyer and ask him to understand the situation, so as to avoid being tricked."

Chen Yongren: "Okay, I'll ask Laughing to do it right away."

(laughing: flip the table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻Ah, you won’t let me rest, right!)

Guan Zu added: "The previous arrangements can begin tomorrow."

Chen Yongren: "Understood."

Laughing this side,
After a busy day, I was exhausted, and then I received a call from Chen Yongren and almost cried.

I'm so tired, why are you still coming?!

But there was no other way. In order to get a promotion, he could only go to a lawyer with a whimper.

Guan Zu's lawyer is a lawyer with no bottom line. After understanding the situation, he saw through Lawyer Chen's tricks at a glance.

"You must not accept this money. If you do, you will be controlled by the other party."

"If the other party sues for extortion, it will be troublesome."

"Also, check your bank account to see if there is any extra money. If there is, be careful and it is best to report it directly to the police."

After listening to this, I wanted to complain: "Lawyer Dong, have you often done this before? Otherwise, why are you so familiar with it?"

quickly,

Lu Jiayao and Huang Guantao received a call from lawyer Guan Zu. After a conversation, the lawyer informed them of the risks of the money.

Lu Jiayao was numb.

When Huang Guantao checked his bank account, he was shocked to find that there was really an extra 10 Hong Kong dollars!
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Jiayao and Huang Guantao went straight to report the case.

……

……

"Ling ring ring~~~~"

Lawyer Chen was on his way to the fifth witness when he received a call from the police station.

His face was stunned.
"Have you reported it to the police?"

"And two people reported the case at the same time?"

Lawyer Chen was confused and uncertain.
"These people are just ordinary people. How did they find the pit I dug?"

"So, there are lawyers behind them directing them?"

Lawyer Chen had already understood by now that someone was watching this case.

"Stop the car. Let's not go any further. Let's go back to the law firm."

Lawyer Chen's face darkened and he said decisively.

After thinking about it, Lawyer Chen made another phone call and asked someone to investigate who was behind this.

……

the next day,
Boss Li was in the villa, eating breakfast.

At the age of 63, he has begun to pay attention to health preservation and usually eats relatively fine meals.

Every dish reveals the ultimate luxury and the ultimate pursuit of health.

The main course is a bowl of organic oatmeal porridge selected from Australia's top farms, with a small amount of deep mountain honey added, which brings a touch of natural sweetness.

Next to it is a small dish of carefully selected pesticide-free Chinese cabbage hearts. The tenderest part of each cabbage heart is used, and usually only one-tenth of a vegetable is taken.

On the side, there was a chicken breast lightly seared in extra virgin olive oil.

There is also a cup of fruit and vegetable juice specially prepared by a professional nutritionist based on Boss Li’s physical condition.

TVB News is reporting the news.

There was no news about the fire in today's news, which made Boss Li in a good mood.

It seems that the fire incident has passed.

"Ling ring ring~~~~"

At this time, a rapid ring rang.

The secretary's anxious voice came:

"Boss, something bad has happened..."

"A large number of citizens gathered downstairs of the Electric Light Company, holding banners..."

"They are demonstrating their power!"
