Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 204 Just Business Competition?

Guangzhou, Dongfeng Express.

"What? Xu Jiang has been arrested?" Ye Dongsheng frowned.

After listening to Zhang Weimin's account over the phone, Ye Dongsheng asked directly, "Has anyone else been arrested? What's the situation at the store now?"

"Boss, we've all come back. Everyone just finished sorting out the packages they had and is already at work."

Hearing this, Ye Dongsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhang Weimin, you handled it well!"

"Boss, this is all my fault! Brother Jiang is being held at the police station now, and I'm thinking of turning myself in later and explaining everything to the police..."

Ye Dongsheng shook his head and interrupted, "Don't worry about Xu Jiang's matter for now. Just keep an eye on the shop for me. We'll talk more when I get there!"

Going to turn yourself in at this point would be like walking into a trap. You've caused such a commotion, and the order has been disrupted. They won't listen to any reasoning you have; they'll just lock you up first!

The police profession was never created to uphold justice, but to maintain stability and order!
Therefore, this approach of hoping to communicate with them through reasoning is always the worst, and it completely fails to understand who the police are responsible to.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Dongsheng shouted to Jimmy, "Arrange a car now, I'm going to Jinghai immediately!"

Jimmy immediately sprang into action, but Ye Dongsheng did not get up; instead, he picked up the phone again.

"Hello, please send the message 'Go to Luohu store immediately' to my pager number xxxxx! Yes, okay, thank you!"

The first commercial mobile phone in mainland China was not invented until 1987, so Ye Dongsheng can only rely on BP to transmit information now.

Even when he himself came to the mainland, he would carry a pager with him. However, the coverage of the base station is not very large now, and it can only be used in a few cities such as Beijing and Guangzhou.

It would take Ye Dongsheng at least 3 hours to get from Guangzhou to Luohu, so he was informing Wang Jianguo, who happened to be in Jinghai, to go to the store and take charge of the work.

Now that store manager Xu Jiang has been arrested, his biggest worry is that morale will be low and people will be instable. This is the kind of situation where trouble is most likely to break out, so sending Wang Jianguo there as soon as possible can help stabilize morale.

As for Xu Jiang, Ye Dongsheng didn't blame him for causing trouble. He had no problem with Xu Jiang leading his men to rob packages, beat people, or even smash shops, but he actually used a gun!

That would be a different story!

If no one investigates, it will be dropped; if someone does investigate, they could easily be arrested and imprisoned for several years!

Ye Dongsheng planned to have him stay in jail for a few days to properly break his old habits!
……

Jinghai, Public Security Bureau.

Xu Jiang and Chen Tai were both handcuffed and squatted on the ground, while An Changlin glared at them coldly.

"Captain An, I didn't bring people here to cause trouble. They've gone too far! Not only did they steal our packages, but they also assaulted our employees when they came to our door. We have to come and demand an explanation!"

"You want an explanation?! You think you can use guns just because you want an explanation?! Do you even respect us police officers? Do you even respect the law?!" An Changlin shouted angrily at Xu Jiang.

Xu Jiang, looking aggrieved, protested, "Captain An! I really didn't mean to use a gun!"
It was that old bastard Chen Tai who first pulled out a gun and pointed it at me, and it was already loaded. I had no choice but to take it out to defend myself!
"If you don't believe me, go ask Captain An. Everyone at the scene saw it!"

Chen Tai, standing nearby, also cried out in protest: "Captain An! Don't listen to him!"
This Xu Jiang is completely like a gangster. He brought dozens of people to the store and started beating and smashing things. I couldn't stop him at all!

I really have no choice!

In that situation, if I hadn't drawn my gun, I might have been shot dead by so many of them! I was truly acting in self-defense!
"Thank goodness you arrived and deterred these criminals!"

"Bullshit! Chen Tai, you old bastard, you're shameless! Everyone knows you're the biggest gangster in our special zone! You have a bunch of vagrants and thugs working for you, aren't they just there to be your henchmen?"

"Nonsense! I'm a security guard! I'm here to maintain order!"

Seeing the two start arguing again, An Changlin shouted angrily: "Shut up, both of you! You're still acting so arrogant at the police station?"

"You two have really lost your minds! You really think we can't deal with you? Lock them both up!"

Just as the two men were locked up, Cao Chuang ran over: "Captain An, the people from Lightning Strike are causing trouble!"

An Changlin immediately went outside, and the manager of the Lightning Express store excitedly greeted him as soon as he saw him:

"Officers, you must give us justice! Look at the state of us! Our shop has been smashed and our belongings stolen. How are we supposed to do business now?!"

As he spoke, several employees with bruised and swollen faces next to him started groaning and crying, as if they had suffered serious injuries.

"Officer, we are a Hong Kong-based company. Don't you always say you treat Hong Kong businesses well and create a good environment for us? We must arrest those who committed the violence and bring them to justice!"

Hearing this, An Changlin frowned slightly. Although Hong Kong businessmen did receive preferential treatment, the fact that this person was so openly talking about his privileges still made him feel uncomfortable.

An Changlin reassured him, "Comrade, we will definitely take this case seriously and are actively investigating it. Please give us some time. We will certainly not let the relevant personnel involved get away with it!"

"Officer, there's no need for further investigation. We know who did it—Dongfeng Express. We can identify them now and arrest everyone who did it!"

An Changlin frowned. Was he being ordered around now?
"We definitely need to arrest them, but we must investigate thoroughly before taking action. We can't arrest people blindly!"

"What else is unclear..."

An Changlin interrupted the other person and asked, "Then let me ask you, did you steal their package first?"

The store manager's eyes flickered for a moment, then he immediately denied it, saying, "No! That's not true at all!"

An Changlin looked at him for a few seconds, then said, "Xiao Li, come here and take their statements. Make sure they explain the whole process clearly, and ask them about all the details!"

"Hey, Captain An!"

"Wait a moment, let's talk when the Dongfeng Express people arrive!"

After saying that, An Changlin ignored the man and turned to leave.

In the office, Cao Chuang leaned close to An Changlin: "Captain An, what's the next step in this case? Should we still arrest the person?"

An Changlin glanced at him: "Hasn't the person already been arrested?"

"Xu Jiang and Chen Tai are enough? What about the others?"

An Changlin waved his hand: "On the surface, it's a vicious fight, but in reality, it's a competition between two Hong Kong companies. If you arrest the people on the other side, they'll definitely cause trouble and make us arrest the people on our side."

Arresting people won't solve this kind of problem; we need to bring in the responsible parties from both sides for on-site mediation to resolve the issue!

Cao Chuang nodded and gave a thumbs up: "Captain An, you see things very clearly! So, what do we do now?"

"Go to Dongfeng Express and tell their manager to come over!"

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

After Cao Chuang left, An Changlin took a bottle out of the drawer, glanced at the colorful pills inside, and then got up and walked towards the detention cell.

P.S.: Ugh, because the title included "gangster society," they changed all the related words in this chapter, and I had to revise it again.
