Started from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 191 [Should be rejected]

The night after watching the parade, Li Xiaonan had a nightmare all night long, in which he saw his classmates with blood all over their faces and broken arms and legs.

So the next morning, she immediately found Li Wendi who was having breakfast and asked her anxiously about the situation of her classmates.

Li Wendi found out everything last night because he knew Li Xiaonan would definitely ask about these things.

In order to comfort Li Xiaonan, Li Wendi told the story in an artistic way. Li Xiaonan felt relieved to hear that his classmates were not seriously hurt. After all, the scene yesterday was really scary.

"There won't be classes in school these two days, so you should study at home and don't run around. The situation on the streets is not good right now." Li Wendi took a bite of the steamed bun and spoke unclearly.

"Hmm!" Li Xiaonan absentmindedly drank a mouthful of porridge, groaned, and then asked Li Wendi excitedly, "Can I go to the hospital to see my classmates? I really want to go and see them."

"Your head is bleeding and your body is covered with bandages. What's so good about it! Your classmates are in a bad mood now. Aren't you afraid that they will say bad things to you?" Li Wendi said in a calm tone.

"I still want to go and take a look." The next moment, Li Xiaonan's expression became much more determined.

Li Wendi laughed. Girls also need perseverance. "Okay, I'll go with you to have a look."

Li Xiaonan wanted to refuse, saying it was her business and she didn't want her brother to interfere. Unfortunately, Li Wendi gave her two choices: either go with her or stay at home and study.

Li Xiaonan finally gave in and went to the hospital with Li Wendi to visit his classmates.

The hospital was overcrowded and all the students were injured. Fortunately, they were all minor injuries and some students have already returned home.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiaonan's face turned pale, but Li Wendi did not comfort her and let her face it alone.

The demonstration incident further escalated, and all major newspapers in Hong Kong reported the incident. Some newspapers even criticized the police force's actions as worthless, using words such as "desperate and insane" to describe them.

It is conceivable how bad the impact of corruption is on all sectors of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose personally held a press conference and said that the matter would be investigated thoroughly and the perpetrators would be severely punished, no matter how high their positions were.

What surprised Li Wendi was that Xu Shoukun actually came to him to discuss something that should be related to the current major event.

Most importantly, Li Wendi was worried that the people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption had already targeted Xu Shoukun, the inspector of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. Was it risky to meet with him now?

After thinking about it, Li Wendi knew that Xu Shoukun had no evidence of his bribery, but he was still worried that if something happened to Xu Shoukun, Xu Shoukun would directly blame him. If an accident happened at that time, wouldn't he be in trouble?

Tsim Sha Tsui Happy Tea House
This time, Xu Shoukun came to the appointment alone and seemed more restrained and cautious than before. He obviously felt the pressure from the Hong Kong government.

"Inspector Xu, why are you so leisurely today to invite me for tea?" Li Wendi started jokingly, pretending to be ignorant.

Xu Shoukun smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I don't have time, I will ask Mr. Li to come out and have a chat. Let's not waste time. Mr. Li should know the big things that happened in the past few days. Godber has been investigated by an unknown department. I heard that it is directly under the Governor of Hong Kong."

Hearing this, Li Wendi frowned, "Inspector, are you worried that what happened between us will be exposed?"

Seeing that Li Wendi was so smart, Xu Shoukun continued to ask, "Are there any loopholes in the things we did?"

Li Wendi immediately shook his head and said, "It is impossible for there to be any shady dealings. All transactions between us were made through the company's accounts. The Hong Kong government also has backups, and they are consistent with the market conditions at the time. I can guarantee that there will be no shady dealings at the legal level."

"Then I'm relieved." Xu Shoukun just breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became nervous again. "Didn't you bribe Ge Bo about Lin Jianmin? How did you do on this matter? Ge Bo has become a time bomb now."

Ge Bo's bribery case naturally had nothing to do with Xu Shoukun, but Xu Shoukun was worried that something would happen to Li Wendi and then implicate him. After all, if something happened to Li Wendi, he would want to drag him down with him. What would he do then?

"It was Wei Zuhui who bribed Peter Godber. It had nothing to do with me." Li Wendi explained seriously, "The 100 million dollars I paid to Wei Zuhui to buy and sell the office space in Wan Chai Commercial Building was the money I paid to Peter Godber. The contract signed at the law firm was not directly given to Peter Godber by me. Those people wanted to arrest Wei Zuhui." "Even if Wei Zuhui wanted to drag me into this, there is no direct evidence to prove that I had anything to do with him. At most, it is just a little suspicion."

"It's the same with you, Inspector Xu. The money transfer between us is aboveboard. Even if you accuse me of bribery, I won't admit it. I believe those people won't be able to find evidence."

Li Wendi meant to warn Xu Shoukun that if something happened, don't think he could be dragged into it. At most, he would be a suspect but would not be convicted.

Xu Shoukun immediately felt Li Wendi's experience. Did Li Wendi know from the beginning that this day would come?
"Mr. Li, you are really amazing. You actually have such a plan." Xu Shoukun had to give a thumbs up, because he really had no evidence to prove that Li Wendi had bribed him. "I won't drag you into this, but I also hope that Mr. Li won't say anything that shouldn't be said. This is a special period, and everyone wants to survive."

"Haha!! What can I say? Should I contribute myself to upholding justice in Hong Kong?" Li Wendi laughed.

At this time, Xu Shoukun was already in a precarious situation. If it were in the past, he would have certainly dealt with Li Wendi. But now, he just wanted to get through the difficulties smoothly and get the money to enjoy his old age, so he tolerated Li Wendi's arrogance.

"Since Mr. Li said so, I feel relieved." Xu Shoukun still needed to deal with other people and had no time to waste on Li Wendi. He also believed that Li Wendi was a smart person and knew what to say and what not to say.

"Don't worry, Inspector Xu. There will be absolutely no problem on my end."

In fact, in Li Wendi's opinion, Xu Shoukun asked him out purely for the sake of "taking off pants to fart". Bribery and bribery are almost the same crime. Who would be willing to go to Stanley Prison?

As Li Wendi expected, the two were targeted as soon as they came out of the teahouse.

A man and a woman were sitting in the passenger seat and a hint of joy appeared on their faces when they saw the two people coming out together.

The woman asked, "Who is that person? He looks young, around 23 years old. Xu Shoukun should be meeting him. This is a sensitive period, so he should be an important person."

Click!

The man immediately pressed the shutter of the camera, making sure he had taken a clear photo of Li Wendi, and said with a smile, "We'll know when we go back and check. He has so many bodyguards around him, so he must be a rich man."

"I think I've seen reports about this person in the newspaper. Let me think about it." The woman pinched her forehead with her left hand, and after a dozen seconds she said excitedly, "That person is Li Wendi, the boss of Changxin Real Estate Company and Zhongyu Real Estate Company, a new generation of wealthy people rising in Hong Kong. He was kidnapped some time ago."

The man paused, frowned, and said, "You're right, aren't you? This guy is quite capable. If even he wants to bribe Xu Shoukun, then Xu Shoukun's corruption problem is no worse than Ge Bo's."

"It may not be a bribe. It could be some kind of deal. Xu Shoukun is like a frightened bird right now. He must want to eliminate all hidden dangers." The woman stared at the man seriously and said.

"Okay, let's go back and report right away. This is a big fish."

"Well, today's tracking ends here. Let's go back and discuss countermeasures."

Li Wendi also noticed the unusual car, so he ordered his bodyguards to follow it quietly and report back after finding out who they were.

Unfortunately, the bodyguard only followed them into a very ordinary laundry shop, and when he came back to report in the evening, he didn't even find out who they were.

After hearing this reply, Li Wendi dared to conclude that these two people were from the Independent Commission Against Corruption, responsible for tracking and investigating Xu Shoukun's affairs. Of course, he also came into the sight of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

"Damn Xu Shoukun!" Li Wendi clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "I shouldn't have kept the appointment, otherwise how would I have come into the sight of the ICAC. No, no, I need to calm down. They can't have any evidence against me."

Li Wendi tried hard to calm himself down and went over the matter carefully over and over again, but still couldn't find any loopholes.

He also considered whether to make an appointment with Wei Zuhui to test Wei Zuhui's attitude. After all, he and Wei Zuhui had a grudge. If Wei Zuhui got into trouble, there was a high possibility that he would be dragged into it. However, it seemed that making an appointment with Wei Zuhui at this time would be of no help.

So, he gave up this plan.
