Chapter 23 023 [The venue was swept]

Sure enough, as Chen Xingzhou expected, the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station announced a few days later that the gang of gangsters were all shot dead for robbing the police officers' pistols.

At the press conference, Lin Jianmin claimed that several police officers were injured, but fortunately no one was killed.

Lin Jianmin bribed several newspapers and suppressed all public opinion, turning it into a glorious deed of the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station and even winning praise from his foreign superiors.

In response to this, Li Wendi sneered. No wonder the Independent Commission Against Corruption was set up. The police force is hopeless. When that group of people threatens the interests of the upper gentry, it will be Lin Jianmin's unlucky day.

At the same time, Li Wendi also smelled a hint of danger. Lin Jianmin had dealt with this matter so quickly, and he would turn around and stir up trouble soon. It was possible that he would be the first one to be targeted.

"I'm in trouble." Li Wendi sighed again after a moment. Everyone could see what was going on, but it was a pity that it was difficult to use this to bring down Lin Jianmin.

Li Wendi is unable to move now. Because of his title as the boss of Tsim Sha Tsui, Lin Jianmin still has some concerns. Otherwise, he can be manipulated by Lin Jianmin at will. So Li Wendi has a headache and can only hope to find out some big black material about Lin Jianmin.

Li Wendi considered notifying Wei Renwei and the others, but if he did so, his position might become unstable and he might lose Deng Songlian's support.

So he called Zhang Yan and asked him to hurry up and find some dirty information about Lin Jianmin.

Saturday, May 11

At about 9 o'clock in the evening, Li Wendi received an emergency call at his home in Sai Wan.

"Wendy, the police have raided several of our locations." Wei Renwei's urgent voice came through the receiver.

Li Wendi naturally knew that this was Lin Jianmin's revenge, and he had no way to deal with it for the time being. Negotiation would not work because Lin Jianmin would definitely ask for a huge sum of money.

"I understand. Tell the brothers not to conflict with the police to prevent the situation from getting worse." Li Wendi said in a deep voice.

After hanging up the phone, Li Wendi picked up a thin coat and went out.

When we arrived in Tsim Sha Tsui, we saw the police escorting people into the police car, and Wei Renwei was negotiating with Lin Jianmin with a very humble attitude. However, Lin Jianmin was holding a cigarette in his mouth and showed no intention of buying in.

"Wendi, many brothers have been arrested. What should we do?" Zhang Yan stood beside Li Wendi and asked anxiously.

Li Wendi knew that even if he went to negotiate with Lin Jianmin now, he would only be humiliated. Lin Jianmin came to the rescue just to make Li Wendi admit his mistake and make a fortune.

Li Wendi was worried that once he went up, Deng Songlian and others would blame him for all the losses. What Lin Jianmin was doing now was entirely about He Liansheng, which had nothing to do with him for the time being.

"Let's go, let's go find Uncle Deng!" Li Wendi made the decision immediately.

Li Wendi, Deng Songlian and Deng Jiaren sat together, their faces looking very gloomy.

Li Wendi concealed nothing and explained the whole story with Chen Xingzhou and Lin Jianmin, but he concealed the matters of the new company.

Deng Songlian narrowed his eyes, and his gaze scraped across Li Wendi's cheek like a sharp blade, and he seemed very angry.

"Lin Jianmin is too arrogant. He doesn't take us and Liansheng seriously at all. But Wendi, you are too careless. Is it so easy to earn 5 yuan?" Deng Jiaren spoke first. It seemed like he was blaming him, but in fact he was helping a little.

Li Wendi knew what Deng Jiaren meant. It was natural for him to return the favor in the future.

"I didn't expect Lin Jianmin to have such a big reaction. I thought he just didn't want his men to have a fight with the robbers, so he asked Chen Xingzhou to go to the Central Police Station to report the case. Who knew Lin Jianmin would react so strongly?" Li Wendi pretended to be a little guilty and defended himself.

Deng Songlian felt that the matter was not as simple as Li Wendi said. Li Wendi might have done so to retaliate against Lin Jianmin. However, now was not the time to pursue these issues. After all, Li Wendi came to admit his mistake in time and with a good attitude. As for Lin Jianmin, he really didn't give He Liansheng face. Deng Songlian felt that he had to teach Lin Jianmin a lesson, otherwise how could He Liansheng continue to live in Hong Kong.

Deng Jiaren grasped the key point in Li Wendi's words and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that this robber is Lin Jianmin's man?"

Hearing this, Li Wendi pretended to be in deep thought, and then murmured, "If the robbers are Lin Jianmin's men, it seems to explain why Lin Jianmin reacted so strongly."

Deng Songlian glanced at Li Wendi again and felt that Li Wendi's actions seemed to drag the entire He Liansheng into the water. However, it was also a fact that Lin Jianmin had offended He Liansheng, so he said, "Even if they are Lin Jianmin's people, it is none of our business. Wendi, you are the one who caused the trouble. How do you want to solve it?"

Li Wendi lowered his head, thought for a moment and said, "The best solution is to hand me over to Lin Jianmin for disposal. This will allow the society to recover some of its losses."

Li Wendi had some vague guesses about Deng Songlian's attitude, but he was not sure, so he adopted a strategy of retreating in order to advance.

Of course, it is possible that Deng Songlian really dumped Li Wendi, but the possibility is not high. Lin Jianmin is a detective, and it would be very embarrassing for him and Liansheng in the underworld if he did so.

"If I really hand you over, will you accept it?" Deng Songlian said seriously, staring at Li Wendi.

Li Wendi smiled bitterly and said, "I caused the trouble, so I should solve it. Of course I accept it."

"It seems that you are still not convinced." Deng Songlian's tone became stern. "You have been in the society for so many years, you should know what money can be made and what money cannot be touched. Lin Jianmin and others' affairs have nothing to do with us, but you insisted on intervening and caused such a huge loss to the society for a few tens of thousands of dollars."

After hearing Deng Songlian's admonition, Li Wendi knew that Deng Songlian would definitely not hand him over. However, his words revealed an emotion of "disappointment with a man who has failed to live up to his potential". At this moment, he felt that Deng Songlian was a little hard to understand.

"Both of you need to learn a lesson. Wendi, the loss of the society this time was caused by you, and it will be put into your account. You are responsible for earning the money back. You also need to speed up as far as A-Ren is concerned. As for Lin Jianmin's matter, since he dared to declare war without warning, and Liansheng is not someone you can easily mess with, you should just ignore it." Deng Songlian said with finality.

"Yes! I will get the money back from other places as soon as possible." Li Wendi finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart.

"You are brothers. If you have any problems, you should discuss them together. It is difficult to accomplish anything alone." Deng Songlian said earnestly and left.

When Deng Songlian was no longer visible, Deng Jiaren comforted him, "Dad has always been like this. You should know better than me that Lin Jianmin's matter is not a big problem, but we must learn a lesson. It's also my fault for misjudging the situation in Hong Kong, which led to the current situation."

"Uncle Deng has already dealt with the last incident. This time it's my fault." Li Wendi suddenly showed a fierce look and said fiercely, "I must take revenge. What does it matter if I'm the inspector?"

Li Wendi is well aware of the principle of 'if you fail to kill the snake, you will be bitten by it', so he must make sure that Lin Jianmin will never be able to turn things around, or at least not be able to interfere with his work in the next few years.

"Wendy, Dad just finished talking, you..."

Before Deng Jiaren finished speaking, Li Wendi interrupted and said, "Jiaren, if we admit our mistakes completely, how can we hold our heads up in Hong Kong in the future? Even if you have a listed company in the future, won't those people ridicule you for that incident?"

Li Wendi really wanted to win over Deng Jiaren as an ally, so Deng Songlian could not stay out of it.

Deng Jiaren appears to be humble on the surface, but he actually has a very bad temper and has never given up since he was a child.

"But how do I explain to my father?" Deng Jiaren was somewhat tempted, but he was afraid that Deng Songlian would be disappointed in him.

"This is definitely not the first time that Lin Jianmin has done something like this. As the old saying goes, 'If you don't want others to know, then don't do it.' Once you do it, it will definitely leave traces." Li Wendi continued to deceive, "We can collect enough evidence and then take action, hoping to defeat him with one blow."

Deng Jiaren fell silent. Li Wendi was indeed very bold. If the thing was done, his father would not say anything.

"Okay, let's do this together. We must be careful and make no mistakes."

"Of course, it will not be good for anyone if we fail to do it." Li Wendi said seriously.
