Chapter 115 Chapter 116 [Demolishing the Bridge after Crossing the River]
Under the protection of the gangsters, Li Wendi left the building where he worked and went to a large security company in Hong Kong.
After careful selection, Li Wendi hired four bodyguards to take charge of his daily security.
The main reason was that he was really scared to death by Lin Jianye this time. If he hadn't been quick-witted and used something to smash the revolver away, he would probably have become a corpse now.
With bodyguards, there was no need for gangsters anymore, so Li Wendi gave each of them 1000 yuan and asked them to find Lin Jianye's whereabouts. Whoever found him would receive a reward of 5 yuan.
This is just the whereabouts. Of course, Li Wendi will only give money if he catches the person.
The shooting case attracted widespread attention. After all, the incident happened in a prosperous area of Hong Kong, and the offender was a police officer, which made the elite class feel very threatened.
The police force is preparing to hold an emergency press conference and hopes that Li Wendi, as the person involved, can attend to help them clarify that Lin Jianye has been expelled from the police force, etc., so as to reduce the trouble for the police force.
"Captain Zhang, your request is really rude. You haven't caught Lin Jianye yet, but you're thinking about how to shirk responsibility." Li Wendi sneered, "Tell me, what's in it for me?"
"Mr. Li, cooperation between the police and the public has always been the obligation of citizens. I can guarantee that Lin Jianye will be caught within a week and he will be jailed for life." Zhang Wenhuai said with an apologetic smile. Now he needed help from Li Wendi, so he naturally lowered his posture.
"Captain Zhang, you know very well what I do. Catching him within a week may be the limit of the police force, but I should be able to find that bastard within three days. As for the rest, it is up to you to decide. Lin Jianye has done so many bad things, maybe God can't stand it anymore and may punish him." Li Wendi smiled coldly.
Since everyone thinks he is a gangster, then he will act like one seriously.
Lin Jianye is dead, even Jesus can’t save him, I said.
Li Wendi screamed in his heart, if he let this bastard go, who knows which enemy will have such evil thoughts next time.
Zhang Wenhuai knew that Li Wendi was still angry. Comparing with Li Wendi to see who was more powerful would only result in mutual losses. It would be better to deal with this problem in a low profile first and then find a chance to save face later.
"Of course I know Mr. Li's influence in Hong Kong, but the police force also needs to maintain its reputation. It would be difficult for me to offend those senior officials. Mr. Li might as well put forward his conditions. If they are reasonable, I will convince my superiors."
"My conditions are very simple. The first is that I want to torture Lin Jianye in the police station. Don't worry, I won't kill him. The second is that I hope Lin Jianye will be reincarnated after being sentenced. He should be a good person in his next life." Li Wendi said with a wicked smile.
"Mr. Li, these two conditions are difficult to fulfill. It's not a problem to torture Lin Jianye, but the location can be changed. Since Lin Jianye has been sentenced, isn't his life up to you, Mr. Li?" Zhang Wenhuai's statement clearly showed that he did not want to get involved in this matter, but he could let the police force pretend they didn't see it.
"Then what do I need you police officers to do? Just watch the show?" Li Wendi said contemptuously.
"Mr. Li, we are police officers, we can't..."
Li Wendi immediately interrupted Zhang Wenhuai's explanation, "What is your police force like? Don't I know? You just need to answer me whether you can do it or not. If you can't do it, I will do it myself. I can't help you."
"Mr. Li, why don't you attend the press conference first and we can talk about the other things later." Zhang Wenhuai persuaded.
"Sorry, Chief Zhang! I still have some things to take care of, so I'll take my leave first." Li Wendi stood up and walked towards the outer door.
If you are not willing to contribute anything, then what is the point of negotiating? Isn't this just getting something for nothing?
After leaving the door, Zhang Yan whispered in Li Wendi's ear, "I heard that someone saw Lin Jianye in the Quarry Bay area. I have asked my brothers to look for him. There should be news soon."
Li Wendi glanced back at the hotel and said, "Tell everyone to be careful of the police. If anyone helps me kill Lin Jianye, I can give him 30 yuan as a resettlement fee, and I will hire the best lawyer to defend him."
Zhang Yan lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said solemnly, "Wendy, we still have to give some face to the police. If they cause trouble for us, it will be difficult to do business. Anyway, Lin Jianye will not survive." "Ayan, do as I say. If you don't do it, someone else will do it." Li Wendi stared at Zhang Yan and said, "I have been half black and half white for a long time. I am afraid of what they will do. It is best if the police keep an eye on me, so that my safety can be better guaranteed."
Zhang Yan wanted to persuade him further, but stopped when he saw Li Wendi's pale face. He planned to issue the order in a disguised manner and automatically delete the words about killing Lin Jianye.
"Okay, I'll go inform my brothers right away." Zhang Yan said helplessly.
Li Wendi knew that being patient would be beneficial to his future development, but he also felt that the police force could deal with him in the real estate business but not in the stock market, so he didn't want to give in on this matter and feel aggrieved.
Zhang Wenhuai watched Li Wendi walk away, gathered the ten fingers of his right hand into a fist and smashed it on the table, saying fiercely, "Damn it! A gangster got to the top of my head, and my goal was not achieved."
"Li Wendi, just wait! I will definitely get my revenge."
Of course Zhang Wenhuai would take revenge on the same day, but unfortunately he was still trying to persuade Li Wendi. After all, this was related to his position in the hearts of the foreign senior officials. He wanted to become a detective in a prosperous area in the future.
Around 2 p.m., Zhang Wenhuai approached Li Wendi again and said that senior police officers had agreed to his request, but he had to attend a press conference first.
Li Wendi was very smart. He brought a video recorder and asked Zhang Wenhuai to repeat what he had just said and guarantee that his request would be met.
Zhang Wenhuai had no choice but to do as Li Wendi asked and record everything.
So, Li Wendi appeared at the press conference held by the police.
"Hello, reporters! I am Xie Jin, the spokesman of the police force." The middle-aged man with a big belly spoke eloquently on the podium.
A reporter with freckles on his face asked, "Mr. Li, as a party involved, do you think the current police force is still reliable? Can it protect the lives and safety of Hong Kong citizens?"
"I think the police force is reliable. As for whether it can protect the safety of citizens, I am not qualified to answer this question," said Li Wendi with a smile.
"According to reliable information, the murderer Lin Jianye is indeed a member of the police force, and the gun he used to commit the crime is also a police force gun. Please ask Chief Inspector Xie to explain."
"I said just now that Lin Jianye was originally a police officer, but unfortunately he was fired by us recently because Lin Jianye abused his power for personal gain. The pistol used in the crime was indeed his service pistol, but Lin Jianye knocked out his colleague in the gun room and snatched it out." Xie Jin explained, but it seemed very forced, and the reporters didn't quite believe it. Unfortunately, Xie Jin didn't want to dwell on this issue.
"Although the murderer is a veteran police officer and is very familiar with the layout of the police station, the police force's security measures are lame. It was so easy for Lin Jianye to get his original gun."
The reporter's questions became more and more pointed, and sweat broke out on Xie Jin's forehead. He was a little afraid that he had fallen into the reporter's trap, but he had to bite the bullet and answer.
Half an hour later, a uniformed policeman came forward and whispered something in Xie Jin's ear. Xie Jin's face turned much redder, obviously there was good news.
"Dear reporters, I have good news for you. The murderer Lin Jianye has been arrested and we will file a lawsuit in court." So, with Xie Jin's few words, the press conference ended early.
"Thank you, Chief Sheriff. I would like to meet Lin Jianye and arrange the things we discussed before." Li Wendi said expressionlessly. He really couldn't stay any longer and wanted to beat Lin Jianmin up.
Xie Jin suddenly showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. "Mr. Li, we will do what you ask. But now Lin Jianye has just been arrested. If he has a bruised face, it may be a bit troublesome."
"What's the trouble? The murderer fought with the police while escaping. Don't the scars left behind show the efforts of the police force? Is it a good thing that Lin Jianye doesn't have any scars on his body? People who don't know would think that Lin Jianye has the police force as his backing and that this incident was planned by someone in the police force." Li Wendi sneered without giving any face.
"Mr. Li, the police force has its own rules. You are not a member of the police force. Don't jump to conclusions or spread rumors that are detrimental to the police force, otherwise I have the right to arrest you." Xie Jin naturally wanted to burn his bridges, so how could he be threatened by a gangster now?
