Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

Chapter 190: The End of the Money Empire

Some gang bosses related to Lei Luo were invited by the Independent Commission Against Corruption to have coffee, and the news spread throughout Hong Kong Island like wings.

People were talking about these people and speculating about their whereabouts and attitudes. Some people rumored that some of them had betrayed Lei Luo and leaked important information to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, while others said that the rumors were groundless and that no one had betrayed Lei Luo at all.

For a time, various statements came one after another, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.

In this chaos, a question always lingers in people's minds: Is there anyone who betrays Lei Luo?

This issue is like a dark cloud hanging over Hong Kong Island, bringing endless speculation and anxiety to people.

Lei Luo, however, continued to act as he pleased, his influence spreading across every corner of Hong Kong Island, his power completely controlled by one hand. Both the white and black factions held this renowned "Lei Lao Hu" in awe.

As soon as the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, it set its sights firmly on Lei Luo. This is truly courageous!

They were determined to fire the first shot, bringing shock and impact to the entire Hong Kong Island!

First, Lei Luo's detectives were summoned one after another for questioning, and then it was finally Lei Luo's turn.

Although the ICAC could not find any solid evidence of Lei Luo's corruption, they could use this method to undermine his prestige and send a message to the outside world: Lei Luo has reached the end of his road...

However, Lei Luo's counterattack was swift and fierce. ICAC Commissioner Yan Guoliang was tragically killed in a car on the street in full view of the public. Then, before anyone could recover from their grief and shock, Huo Qilin also died under mysterious circumstances!

The police's conclusion about Huo Qilin's death was suicide! This news was shocking and hard to accept.

……

The atmosphere in the Wu family villa was solemn. Dawei and Xiaowei stood in front of Wu Shihao with anxious looks on their faces.

"Brother Hao, something might really happen to Luo Ge this time!" Dawei frowned, his tone full of worry.

Although they were not deeply involved in Lei Luo's financial empire, they were well aware of the huge wealth embezzled and bribed.

Now, even the British government can no longer tolerate it and has specially sent people to combat corruption. It has also set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which is only responsible to the Governor of Hong Kong.

"Luo Ge has more than enough money. Even if we leave Hong Kong, we can still enjoy a comfortable life for the rest of our lives," Xiao Wei agreed. Since following Wu Shihao, they have all made a fortune, started their own families, and now live peaceful and prosperous lives.

Cui Yin sat quietly beside Wu Shihao, saying nothing. She knew Wu Shihao had already made up his mind.

That very night, Wu Shihao went to Lei's manor without hesitation.

The moment he saw Lei Luo, Wu Shihao went straight to the point: "A Luo, it's time for you to stop!" His words were concise and firm, without any unnecessary greetings.

He knew very well that Lei Luo's current situation was very dangerous, and if he didn't stop, he might face imprisonment.

He didn't want to see his good brother being found with solid evidence and eventually thrown into jail.

If anyone else spoke to Lei Luo like this, he would be very angry, but when facing Wu Shihao, he just smoked his cigar silently.

After a while, Lei Luo slowly put down the cigar in his hand, looked at Wu Shihao and said, "Ahao, even you don't have confidence in me?" There was a hint of unwillingness and confusion in his eyes.

Wu Shihao walked up to Lei Luo and looked him in the eyes seriously. "A Luo, it's not that I don't think you will be successful, but I hope you can be safe and sound. We have worked hard for so many years and have made enough money. Why should we take risks? I hope that in our old age, we can still get together and drink and chat."

After listening to Wu Shihao's words, Lei Luo pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Ahao, don't worry, I will think about it carefully."

Lei Luo already had a preliminary plan in mind. He decided to hold back for the time being and observe the current situation to see if there would be any turning point.

At the same time, he also began to arrange the transfer of his family and property to avoid being caught off guard in case of any unexpected situation. After all, he couldn't let his family get hurt.

At this critical moment, Lei Luo showed his decisiveness and wisdom.

On the other hand, the ICAC, which has suffered a lot, is becoming more and more courageous. Under the leadership of Han Zhibang, they are working overtime to find evidence of Lei Luo's crime. They want to bring this scum of the police force to justice.

Under the persuasion of the higher-ups, Henry finally decided to become a tainted witness. As soon as the news came out, Lei Luo immediately realized that something was wrong and he began to feel panic.

So, Lei Luo hurriedly left Hong Kong Island with Zhuyouzai and went to Canada to seek refuge.

However, they did not settle down there, and soon moved to Wandao to settle down.

Compared to the others who stayed in Hong Kong Island and were imprisoned, they were released after a few years. Lei Luo left Hong Kong Island and could never return...

……

Wu Shihao was deeply moved when he learned about Lei Luo's situation. Although they had conflicts and contradictions in the past, the passage of time had made them understand what was truly important.

Sometimes, Wu Shihao would take Cui Yin to visit Lei Luo and his family. They would sit together and chat, reminiscing about the past.

After decades of ups and downs, Wu Shihao and Lei Luo still regard each other as best brothers.

Although they are in different places, their deep friendship has never changed.

……

This day is Lei Luo’s wife’s birthday.

After settling in Wandao, although there were servants to serve her, Lei Luo's wife still decided to cook herself on her birthday.

Cui Yin helped on the side, picking and washing vegetables.

"Before, Xijiu and I were the ones who cleaned abalone, washed vegetables, and cooked in the kitchen." Lei Luo's wife suddenly sighed, "Xijiu is really a good person."

"Xijiu is living a very happy life now," Cui Yin said with a smile as he put the vegetables into the drainer. "Because of his good behavior, he was released from prison after more than three years and married Ah Mei, who had been waiting for him."

"Amei? Is that the fourth one?" Lei Luo's wife asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's her. Ah Mei is still infatuated with Xi Jiu!" Cui Yin shook his head and laughed, "Xi Jiu is lucky!"

Chen Xijiu, a former abalone inspector, is nicknamed the "Flattery Emperor" because of his flattery and flattery skills. He is Lei Luo's loyal follower.

This man actually has nine wives. What's even more shocking is that they are all mistresses of major detectives and gang bosses.

However, such complicated emotional entanglements made him lose his way and feel helpless in his pursuit of love.

Chen Xijiu was unwilling to leave Hong Kong Island and was sentenced to four years in prison.

All his so-called wives absconded with the money and ruthlessly abandoned him. Only the fourth sister, Amei, remained steadfast by his side and never left him.

Finally, Chen Xijiu finally realized his true desire and married Ah Mei, who had always been waiting for him, and lived a simple but happy life.

"That's great!" Lei Luo's wife was also sincerely happy for Chen Xijiu.

On the other side, Lei Luo, Zhu Youzai and Wu Shihao were also chatting.

"Ahao, you refused to "sell flour" to make a fortune. Did you think about the ending?" Lei Luo suddenly asked.

"How could I have thought that far?" Wu Shihao shook his head. "I just wanted to live a peaceful life with my wife and children!"

Zhuyouzai laughed at the side, "Our brother Hao is still the one who takes things in stride, haha!"
