Chapter 334 I Want to Interrupt You
"You were the one who killed my favorite horse, Lucky Diamond, and now you're asking me to explain!"
"Lin Zehao, it's you who should explain this to me, right?"
Zheng Yutong's chest was heaving violently, and his face was covered with frost.
Zhou Cuiying, who was standing by, had a look of anxiety on her face. She couldn't help but whispered, "Don't make things so awkward. We are doing business to make money, not to fight."
"If we can have a good talk, then have it. Otherwise, if we fight to the end, won't both sides suffer?"
Zheng Yutong still had a stern face and did not speak.
"Oh? You want to explain?"
"It seems that you still don't like this gift."
"In that case, there is no need for us to talk anymore, that's it."
After saying that, Lin Zehao signaled Ruan Mei to hang up the phone.
"Hello? Hello?"
"You just hung up when I said you would. Don't you understand the principles of business negotiation?"
"Young man, even if I have to hang up, I should be the one to hang up on you, not you!"
Zheng Yutong yelled a few words into the microphone, and when he found that Lin Zehao really hung up the phone, his face became extremely ugly and he kept cursing.
"Look, I told you to talk it over nicely, to not make things too awkward, but you just went ahead and broke down the negotiations..."
"Don't even mention you being a young man. Even I can't stand your tone!"
Zhou Cuiying kept complaining, but her eyes unconsciously glanced at the horse's head, her eyes full of fear.
"Is this my fault? He killed my favorite lucky diamond, and he still dared to call and threaten me. Who can swallow this?"
"It's fine if you don't understand me, but you also encourage an outsider like Lin Zehao to destroy our own prestige!"
"He plans to enter the jewelry industry. I won't stop him, but he has to come and pay his respects to our Zheng family's dock, right?"
Zheng Yutong snorted coldly and continued, "But look at what Lin Zehao did? Not only did he not even say hello, but even his general manager, Li Jiayuan, directly rejected my request to purchase raw jade materials."
"This is not just a lack of respect, this is simply not taking our Zheng family seriously!"
"Now you've killed my horse, and you still dare to call me to show off. Do you really think I'm Zheng Yutong, a piece of asshole?"
Zhou Cuiying was worried: "But, since he killed Lucky Diamond and put it on our bed without us noticing, he could kill both of us without us noticing..."
"I worry……"
Zheng Yutong waved his hand and said, "What are you worried about? We are all businessmen. Even if Lin Zehao has made some money over the years, what can he do?"
"In terms of wealth, I may not have as much as him, but in terms of connections, how much can a young man like him, who hasn't even grown all his hair, do?"
"Get dressed now and go out and notify the personnel who were responsible for patrolling the villa last night to come to the meeting."
"I'm calling the West Kowloon Crime Unit now and suing Lin Zehao for extortion!"
No matter what, Zheng Yutong has been in the business world for so many years and has seen many ups and downs.
Although I was scared now, I still suppressed my fear and made a series of responses.
Thirty minutes later, all the patrol officers from last night gathered together.
Because they were on night duty yesterday, everyone was woken up from their hard beds in the servants' room, so they were all sleepy and looked dazed.
When Zheng Yutong saw this scene, he immediately frowned and coughed heavily.
"Mr. Zheng is here, wake up!"
Seeing Zheng Yutong, Ah Bian quickly lowered his voice and reminded him.
He was the patrol security guard who insisted on leaving last night. As for the person he reminded, he was the patrol security guard who was not liked by everyone, named A Fei.
"Did you notice anything unusual when you were patrolling last night, especially near the stables?"
"Think carefully. If you can provide any unusual clues, I will give you 500 silver notes as a reward!"
As he spoke, Cheng Yutong reached his right hand into his pocket, took out a five hundred Hong Kong dollar note issued by Standard Chartered Bank, and slammed it heavily on the table.
The whole body is green, and it is painted with a carp leaping high from the sea, symbolizing the fish leaping over the dragon gate.
Ah Bian rolled his eyes, pretending to know nothing, and asked, "Mr. Zheng, what happened? We didn't find anything unusual when we were patrolling yesterday."
Zheng Yutong looked him up and down and asked, "Were you in charge of patrolling the stables yesterday?"
As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. He certainly didn't want other people to know about this shameful thing, especially the servants in the house.
"That's right, Mr. Zheng. Yesterday, A Fei and I were in charge of patrolling the stables, and we didn't find anything unusual."
"If we had found something wrong at the time, we would have reported it."
Although A-Bian may not be very smart, he knows very well that there is no free lunch in this society.
Especially for wealthy families like these, there are too many things that are shady to do. If you get involved, you might get into trouble and lose your job.
Zheng Yutong nodded and turned his gaze to A Fei again.
At this moment, A Fei was in a dilemma. He didn't know whether he should report the abnormal situation of the horse's roaring last night.
He understood what Ah Bian meant just now. It is better to have less trouble than more, especially since they really didn't see anything.
But he really wanted these five hundred dollars.
Who is Cheng Yu-Tung?
An old fox!
He immediately saw something fishy from Ah Bian's hesitant expression.
Zheng Yutong immediately reached into his pocket again, took out a 100-dollar bill, slammed it heavily on the table, and said, "I'll add another 100. If the information you provide satisfies me, I can add more!"
While speaking, Zheng Yutong's eyes were always on A Fei.
Seeing this, Ah Bian, who was standing by, quickly winked at Ah Fei, signaling him to pretend he didn't know.
Unfortunately, under the temptation of money, Ah Fei chose to ignore the gaze and said, "Mr. Zheng, when I was patrolling last night, I found that the horses in the stable were neighing for no reason, which was a little different from usual."
"I went back to check twice during this period, but found nothing unusual."
"Besides this, there is nothing else..."
Upon hearing this, although Ah Bian was angry, fortunately Ah Fei did not say anything, so he had to lower his head and remain silent.
After saying that, A Fei subconsciously stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and took the silver paper on the table.
Just when his hand was about to touch the six hundred silver pieces, Zheng Yutong held it down. His face turned ugly and he asked, "Since you found something unusual, why didn't you report it last night?"
"Did you receive money from outsiders and be asked to do this?"
"Say! Speak quickly!"
Ah Fei was obviously stunned. Before he could explain, the door of the next room was opened. Liu Jianming walked slowly in front of him, raised his ID, and said, "I am the trainee inspector of the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit, Liu Jianming."
"We now suspect you are involved in a property damage case. Please come with us."
A Fei had no idea what was going on, but he was already handcuffed by the plainclothes police from the serious crime squad.
At this time, the housekeeper was also very perceptive. Seeing that the real culprit had been found, he drove away the others.
Before leaving, Ah Bian took a deep look at Ah Fei, who looked confused, and wondered what he was thinking.
In the huge room, only members of the serious crime squad, A Fei and Zheng Yutong were left.
A Fei was handcuffed, his face full of confusion and grievance. Just as he was about to speak, he was punched in the stomach several times by a plainclothes officer next to him!
The words that were about to come out of his mouth were forced to be swallowed back. His face turned red, saliva and tears flowed together, and he couldn't utter a word, and could only let out muffled groans.
"And Lin Zehao, he called to threaten and intimidate me. He must have done this. Arrest him now!" Zheng Yutong said impatiently, his expression full of resentment.
Lucky Diamond is an Arabian horse with a precious bloodline. He spent nearly one million Hong Kong dollars to import it from abroad.
After much difficulty in raising him to this day, he was about to play in the game and create value, but he was beheaded with a single blow!
How could Zheng Yutong swallow this?
When they heard this name, Liu Jianming and the plainclothes police officers behind him were visibly stunned.
"Who are you talking about? Lin Zehao? The one from Hutchison Holdings?" Liu Jianming asked hurriedly, fearing that he had heard it wrong.
Zheng Yutong nodded and said, "Yes, it's him!"
After hearing the definite answer, Liu Jianming's face was filled with meaningful expressions. The plainclothes police officers behind him also looked at Zheng Yutong as if he were a rare animal, as if there were flowers on his face.
"You mean, your lucky horse worth one million Hong Kong dollars..."
"Lucky diamond." Cheng Yutong added.
Liu Jianming nodded and said slowly, "Yes, lucky diamond."
"Are you saying that the Lucky Diamond with its body torn apart was made by Lin Zehao's men, and this A Fei was the accomplice?"
Zheng Yutong was extremely sure, "Yes, it was him. Didn't I just say that as soon as the incident happened, Lin Zehao called me and asked me what I thought of the gift? I..."
Before he could finish, Liu Jianming interrupted him rudely, in a businesslike manner, and said, "Mr. Zheng, Sao Rui, I want to interrupt you."
"No, according to the laws of Hong Kong, your confession alone cannot be considered as valid evidence."
"Unless you can produce something like a recording, and the content clearly states that they want to physically harm you, it doesn't count."
"So, from a legal perspective, your accusation against Mr. Lin Zehao is actually unfounded."
After a pause, Liu Jianming asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Zheng, do you have a recording of that time?"
Zheng Yutong looked unhappy and shook his head, "How could I have such a thing? I'm not a spy agent..."
Liu Jianming crossed his arms and said, "So, this accusation is not valid. If you have other evidence, you can provide it to us."
"Please rest assured that our Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force will handle this impartially."
After a pause, Liu Jianming continued, "However, the behavior of your servant A Fei is indeed suspicious. We can take him back for interrogation."
"I don't know. Do you want to sue him for negligence and compensate you for your financial losses?"
Zheng Yutong's expression turned a little ugly, and he said, "Of course I will sue him for dereliction of duty!"
"If he hadn't reported it at the time, my Lucky Diamond wouldn't have died! Things wouldn't have turned out like this!"
"Also, I will find a professional lawyer to sue Lin Zehao for intimidation!"
Liu Jianming shrugged and said, "That has nothing to do with me."
His immediate superior at the time, Huang Zhicheng, was determined to bring down Wei Longhao and spent the entire day studying related events like a possessed man.
The results of it?
Not only was he immediately dismissed, but he was also nailed to the pillar of shame in the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force, becoming the most influential black cop since the establishment of the police force!
Moreover, it also indirectly led to Hutchison Industries suing the Hong Kong Police Force and the government!
It can be said that Huang Zhicheng alone caused a huge disaster!
Until now, the entire Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force and the government are still paying for the mistakes he made!
The Ministry of Justice is still trying every possible means to delay Hutchison Whampoa and dares not take on the lawsuit.
Now, Cheng Yutong is planning to sue Lin Zehao.
I don’t know if the other party is too arrogant or thinks that Lin Zehao is really as humble and easy to talk to as he appears to be.
If Wei Lung Hao was really that easy to deal with, the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force would have collected evidence of the criminal's crimes and sent him to Stanley long ago.
As for Zheng Yutong's "bravery and fearlessness", Liu Jianming could only wish him good luck in his heart.
"Then we'll leave first."
After saying this, Liu Jianming was about to turn around and leave. The plainclothes police officers behind him were also about to follow him, but Ah Fei refused to do so. He immediately stretched his neck and shouted loudly: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I know nothing!"
"I'll just quit this job. I won't go to the police station with you guys!"
"I haven't committed any crime, why are you taking me away?"
Liu Jianming stopped and signaled to his men with his eyes, saying, "Deal with him. I don't like criminals who talk too much."
Hearing this, two plainclothes policemen held down his arms and lifted him up. Another plainclothes officer slowly walked in front of Ah Fei and hit him in the stomach like a violent storm!
At the beginning, A Fei could still let out a scream or two, but soon, he could only make slight groans.
In the end, he hung his head, saliva kept flowing out of his mouth, like a sandbag, motionless and unable to make a sound.
Seeing this, Liu Jianming straightened his suit and said nonchalantly, "Stop and see if he is dead."
The plainclothes officer stopped panting, opened A Fei's eyes, looked at his pupils, and said, "Liu Sir, he's fine. He must have fainted from the pain."
As he spoke, he looked at the wound on the man's abdomen and asked, "What are the wounds on his body?"
Liu Jianming waved his hands and said, "The criminal tried to attack the police. We were just defending ourselves. All of us police officers will testify for you."
After hearing this, the police officer finally put his heart at ease and walked out with A Fei.
After the West Kowloon Crime Squad left, Zheng Yutong immediately started cursing, "What a jerk! They say they're talking about evidence and following the rules, but when they actually do it, it's another matter."
"If he was really that upright, A Fei wouldn't have been taken away!"
"Do you really think that I can't deal with Lin Zehao if I leave the police force?"
Having said that, Zheng Yutong picked up the phone and called his lawyer.
However, before the call was connected, his eldest son, Zheng Jiachun, came running over in a panic, his face full of fear and panic.
"Dad, something bad has happened! It's a big accident!"
In desperation, Zheng Yutong could only put down the phone, put on a stern face, and asked: "Look at yourself, what do you look like?"
"Have I ever taught you that no matter what happens, staying calm is the most important thing!"
"Taishan collapsed in the front without changing the color, and the elk was thrilled to the left without blinking, and then it could control its interests and wait for the enemy."
After hearing the truth, Zheng Jiachun still couldn't calm down. She said in a trembling voice: "Dad, something really bad has happened!"
"When our gold shop was robbed by the Hong Kong and Guangdong flag soldiers, didn't two security guards die and a woman was disabled?"
"Now, the family of one of the security guards has taken us to court, saying that we violated the Labor Law and hired gangsters to threaten them, demanding that we pay a large amount of compensation and apologize. ATV is broadcasting the case live now!"
Since graduating from university, Zheng Jiachun has joined the family business, which is also the path of most second-generation families.
Zheng Yutong snorted coldly and said, "I thought it was a big deal. If she wants to sue, let her go ahead. A group of poor people who have to rent a house are actually trying to sue others."
"I have the money to hire the best lawyers, how can she win?"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if she wins the case, I still have ten thousand reasons to hold her back and not give her compensation. When she is buried, I will give her money. Let's see who can outwit who!"
Zheng Jiachun still looked anxious, and said, "Dad, it's not just this incident. Just now, many store managers called me and said that they encountered unidentified people who rushed into the store and smashed things!"
"We have a total of 62 gold shops in Hong Kong Island, and all of them had problems at the same time!"
Zheng Yutong was also panicking now, and could no longer maintain his masterly demeanor, and hurriedly asked: "The jewelry was not stolen, right?"
The last time his shop on Qinzhou Street was robbed, he lost several million. It took him a long time to recover from the heartache.
You know, this is net profit!
Moreover, in addition to the financial losses, Chow Tai Fook’s reputation also experienced a decline.
Because, compared with Chow Tai Fook’s crappy security system, the response of Hutchison Jewellery, its neighbor at the time, was simply textbook-level!
Not only did it successfully protect the customers in the store from getting hurt, but even many panicked pedestrians on the street were protected.
Another ten thousand, please give me a monthly ticket!
