Chapter 241 Jewelry Robbery 3
After Hu Tianwen left, Li Wenbin rushed to the office of his father, Police Commissioner Li Shutang.
Upon seeing his father, Li Wenbin couldn't wait to tell him everything about Hu Tianwen. After listening to him, Li Shutang's face turned grave. He stared at Li Wenbin and said sternly, "You're so bold! Do you know the serious consequences that could result if something goes wrong?"
Li Wenbin was clearly prepared. He met his father's gaze without flinching and replied, "Dad, I know all this. But I simply can't stand it anymore! That Randolph is a complete bastard! Although I knew him before, I didn't expect him to have so many secret, dirty deeds against his own family. If they can do these things, why can't we take advantage of them? Besides, no matter what we do, it will only benefit Hong Kong."
After hearing this, Li Shutang sighed helplessly and was silent for a moment. Then he slowly said to Li Wenbin, "Alas, things have come to this point. There is no point in saying more. Since you have decided to do this, then do it according to your own ideas. However, there is one thing you must keep in mind. You can use those people who are going to South Africa, but you must never trust them completely. These people have various problems, and the forces behind some of them are even more unpredictable. Therefore, no matter what you do, you must be cautious and keep it secret. Only in this way can you ensure that there will be no mistakes. Remember!"
After Li Shutang finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand and waved it casually, signaling Li Wenbin to leave the office. Li Wenbin nodded slightly, turned around, walked out of the room quickly, and gently closed the door.
Li Shutang was alone in his spacious and quiet office, his gaze fixed on the distant window. Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blinds, casting dappled shadows on the ground. He stared at them quietly, his thoughts drifting away.
Time passed minute by minute, and an hour slipped by. Li Shutang finally came to his senses from his deep thoughts. He slowly stood up, stretched his stiff body, and walked to a corner of the office.
There, an exquisite display case filled with antique items stood. Li Shutang walked over to the case, paused, and his eyes fell on a police uniform inside. This uniform was the one he wore on his first day as a police officer. Although it was a bit old, it was still in excellent condition.
Li Shutang gazed at the uniform, memories flooding back. Over the years, he had endured countless dangers and conspiracies, rising from a fledgling police officer to his current position as the top cop in Hong Kong. Only he knew the hardships and difficulties involved.
His eyes slowly scanned the other items in the display case, each one carrying a memory. These memories included laughter, tears, the joy of success, and the pain of failure. But no matter how many ups and downs he faced, he always maintained a steady pace, taking one step at a time to reach his current position.
Looking at these things, Li Shutang felt a surge of emotion. He suddenly realized that it was time for him to step down and let others take over. However, he didn't make a decision immediately because he still had some things to deal with.
He knew that Li Wenbin was working hard to complete an important task, and no matter what the outcome, he decided to wait until Li Wenbin completed this task before retiring. He hoped to give his son some support and encouragement so that he could grow and develop smoothly.
At this time, Li Wenbin was unaware of his father's grief for him. He was only thinking about how to perfect his plan and achieve his goals. He didn't think too much about the consequences of failure because he believed in his own ability and determination.
However, Li Shutang had already planned a way out for him. If Li Wenbin's plan failed, Li Shutang decided to resign to protect Li Wenbin's future. It was a difficult decision, but Li Shutang made it without hesitation because he was a father and he was willing to take on everything for his child.
Huadi's team appeared to be busy, but in reality, they were making no progress. Duan Long's men were clearly experienced, leaving behind almost no valuable clues, only traces that could alert the police to an ambush. Furthermore, Duan Long's retreat was extremely discreet, his hiding place being untraceable.
More importantly, Wah Di was in control of the entire investigation, which allowed him to easily manage the situation. He simply dispatched a large number of personnel while enjoying a rare moment of leisure. Unexpectedly, Wah Di found himself alone in his office, leisurely playing video games.
Meanwhile, Randolph waited for news until, just before bedtime, he finally received that crucial envelope. The contents were remarkably concise and clear: if the Randolph family were willing to exchange China's national treasures for the stolen jewels, the transaction must take place on the high seas within three days. As for the specific location, it was clearly stated to be within 300 nautical miles of Eagle Country's main island. More detailed coordinates would be provided to him in two days.
When Randolph relayed this news to his father back in Rand, he deliberated and finally resolved to make a change. This decision wasn't simply a simple exchange; more importantly, it was to seize the opportunity to capture the robbers who had dared to rob them. After all, these robbers had been so audacious as to choose a location close to their country for the exchange, a blatant provocation to the Randolph family! If they couldn't successfully capture these despicable bastards under these circumstances, the Randolph family would undoubtedly become a laughingstock.
However, for Randolph, this decision made him very depressed. If the exchange location was really placed near the Eagle Country's main island, then he would have no room for maneuver. Li Wenbin was also depressed, because he did not have enough strength to carry out any effective operations near the Eagle Country's main island.
However, after careful consideration, Li Wenbin finally realized a cruel fact: these precious jewels may have been shipped out of Hong Kong long ago. No matter how hard the police tried, it would probably be in vain.
You know, if the transaction actually took place three days later, the jewelry would definitely not still be in Hong Kong. After all, the distance between Eagle Country and Hong Kong is quite great, and even the fastest transportation method would be difficult to complete in such a short time. Therefore, it is reasonable to infer that the jewelry should have already boarded a plane to a third country and was speeding towards the transaction location.
But Li Wenbin fell into a misconception: he always believed that the robbers' purpose was to trade for ransom. However, he overlooked a possibility: the robbers might not have intended to trade at all, and their real purpose might be to lure out the Randolph family, create chaos, or achieve other ulterior motives.
Li Wenbin's heart tightened when he heard the news, knowing that things might become more complicated. He did not hesitate to find his father and told him all the new information he had obtained.
After listening to this, Li Shutang was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "My judgment is the same as yours, the jewelry should have been moved." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Li Wenbin frowned and said angrily, "But the Randolph family didn't even tell the police about this! What on earth do these damned foreigners want to do?"
Li Shutang sighed and said, "They may have their own reasons, but this undoubtedly makes our investigation very difficult."
Li Wenbin nodded, realizing that he needed to re-examine the entire case and adjust his investigation strategy. After all, in a bustling city like Hong Kong, maintaining a high-intensity search operation would not only be a huge burden for the police, but would also have a certain impact on the daily lives of citizens.
However, Li Wenbin hadn't found a better solution yet. He couldn't just announce to the public that he was secretly sending people to monitor the Randolph family. Doing so would not only cause political disputes, but would also likely alert the Randolph family, making the case even more confusing.
