I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 202: Talking nonsense

Lan Kwai Fong, the Blue Frog Restaurant, is still closed today. In the huge restaurant, there are only three people sitting at a table in the middle, two of them are blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners.

The other was a middle-aged official with a capable appearance.

The dishes on the table were not French food, but an authentic Chaoshan beef ball hotpot, piled high with meat slices, meatballs, and mushrooms.

Sheng Guowen, the helmsman of Lan Kwai Fong, is over 60 years old and is still a big eater who can eat meals for five people at every meal.

Today's outfit is also very special. After all, with such a fat bald head and a big belly, paired with an oversized Tang suit, it looks a bit funny at first glance, and it's still funny when you look at it again.

"Brother, I have to say, when it comes to the ability to read people's expressions and choose sides, you are really this good!"

Lao Zhuang gave the bald man a thumbs up.

This old baby is really good at playing tricks. He only eats French cuisine, insists on drinking Bordeaux red wine, and insists on eating steak from the Pampas. He is very particular.

Today, he is wearing a Tang suit with gold thread and phoenix outline, which is obviously not something from a street stall. He is also eating beef ball hotpot from Kuang Zhili’s hometown in Chaoshan. Looking at the shacha sauce and celery foam in the soup base, he knows that it is not made by just any chef.

To be honest, the three people present are the smartest of the smart, and this little trick cannot be hidden from anyone.

He is arrogant at first but respectful later, trying to please others. At first glance, it seems very deliberate and people don't like him.

But taking a step forward, this is indeed an excellent tactical statement, using such a clumsy action to express a clear attitude.

Lan Kwai Fong Group is not funded by Angsa Capital, nor is it foreign capital, but rather it is genuine Hong Kong-born old money.

Today's beef ball hotpot and this outfit convey a very clear message to Kuang Zhili, and there will definitely be no misjudgment.

"What a pity! Mr. Jiang Hanwen is very busy with his work. Otherwise, I would have asked my chef in Xiguan to prepare a sumptuous dinner for him. I heard that Mr. Jiang Hanwen particularly likes roasted pigeon. What a pity."

The bald foreigner clapped his hands, and two chefs wearing white tall hats pushed a movable table to the side of the three people.

Fresh beef, one person is slicing the beef with a sharp knife, and the other one is making beef balls by hand.

Lao Zhuang glanced at the huge piece of beef on the table. The meat was bright red and the tendons were still twitching, obviously it had just been slaughtered.

Great, Lao Sheng, you really put in the effort and thought.

Although it doesn't cost much, just a hotpot meal, the thought makes people feel good.

What is this called? This is called attention.

Lao Zhuang curled his lips secretly. Last time you invited me to dinner, you didn’t even give me any tableware. He just wanted to show off his power to me. Now this time, I’m being treated like a ancestor. Humph, this old guy really knows how to treat people differently.

But even though he grumbled, Lao Zhuang had no time to say anything.

After all, the main character today is Jiang Honwen, and the secondary character is Kuang Chih-chih representing the Police Force. He is just a foil.

Besides, they had already said when they invited us over that if you, Lao Zhuang, had Jiang Hanwen's skills, they would be willing to make not only beef hotpot but also dragon meat hotpot.

Brother Jiang.

Well, that’s good about being young. You can shoot non-stop. Why work so hard?

Lao Zhuang shook his head secretly.

The protagonist and a group of veteran TVB actors were rushing to film a scene, and they really felt embarrassed to delay others from making money.

As for Kuang Zhili, judging from his state, the chopsticks in front of him did not move at all, and it was obvious that he still had a grudge against Sheng Guowen.

"Director Kuang, I sent someone to the slaughterhouse early this morning to get fresh beef. Please do me a favor and taste it. If it's not authentic, I'll fire these two chefs right away!"

Sheng Guowen touched his bald head with a smile on his face, but what he said made the two chefs who were busy next to him shudder, and their hands moved faster.

"Haha, Mr. Sheng, you are too polite. You specially invited us to dinner this time, so how could we not give you face?"

Kuang Zhili picked up the chopsticks and skillfully shuffled the meat and dipped it in sauce.

"The three victims of the missing hostess case were all dismembered by Chen and dumped in plastic bags. All the body parts have been found and Chen has confessed to his crime. The High Court plans to hear the case tomorrow."

Kuang Zhili eats hot pot slowly and speaks slowly.

Lan Kwai Fong Group is the victim of the disappearance of hostesses, not only because the murder has affected its business. From the perspective of employment relationship, the three missing hostesses also signed labor contracts with Lan Kwai Fong Group. Although the binding force of this so-called contract is almost zero, legally there is still a labor relationship between the two parties.

It is reasonable for the police to solve the case and inform the victim about the facts.

"Commissioner Kwong, thank you to the police for solving this case so quickly and arresting the murderer, and for returning a safe nightlife environment to Hong Kong citizens and Lan Kwai Fong."

The bald foreigner pointed at the crowded street outside the window and his voice gradually became louder.

"The Hong Kong police have always been the guardian of the safety of citizens. They will surely reach a higher level under the leadership of the capital in the future. As citizens under the leadership of Director Kuang, we are honored to be there!"

"Then, Mr. Sheng, what about the councillors and judges supported by your Lan Kwai Fong Group~~~~~"

Kuang Zhili didn't want to play along with this bald guy at all.

Lan Kwai Fong Group is just a representative embedded in the economic lifeline of Hong Kong, but Sheng Guowen's attitude basically represents the attitude of the big capital behind him.

Kuang Zhili knew very well that every one of these guys was a vulture, a political speculator, and a trustless vampire.

Judges of the Supreme Court and members of the city council are all supported by them and naturally have to work for them.

This time, Kuang Zhili really didn't want Jiang Hanwen to take the risky move he did last time and appear in person to fight them head-on.

After all, they really came here to film a movie.

Although Jiang Hanwen acted swiftly and arrested Chen, and dealt with the psychiatrist in advance to plug the loophole, the chain of evidence in the case is now complete and it is an ironclad case. Media from all sides are reporting at full speed, making the case extremely popular.

Not only in Hong Kong, but also in mainland China, even in South Korea and Japan, mainstream media reported the "Lan Kwai Fong Rainy Night Butcher Case" on the front page.

But the final decision still lies in the hands of the judge. It is not uncommon for the High Court to ignore the overwhelming public opinion and give light sentences to serious criminals.

"Director Kuang, I thought my attitude was very clear."

Sheng Guowen put down his chopsticks and his face darkened.

"Every penny that our Lan Kwai Fong Group earns is earned in Hong Kong. Lan Kwai Fong is nothing if we leave here. Do you think we are really stupid enough to go against the top? Do we want to go against the will of heaven and seek our own death?"

"We are a company, we make money, whether it's playing politics or manipulating elections, it's all for the sake of making money. Now the situation is like this, we are not against money."

"Look at Taikoo Li, it's doing so well and making a fortune. We in Lan Kwai Fong also want to make progress, love our country, and make money!"

"We are a Hong Kong enterprise~~~~sir! For those big shots in my hometown, even if forty or four hundred hostesses died in Lan Kwai Fong, let alone four, they can still eat and drink as usual. But what about us? We will have to starve and go bankrupt!"

"Why do you think our group would spend real money to get the judge to exonerate that damn murderer for the sake of that bullshit autonomy, universal values, and human rights?!"

"They are just brainwashing others with this stuff, we never believe it. Do you think we have to listen to the nobles? Haha, I, Sheng Guowen, have taken Xiangjiang's ID card. If I don't protect Xiangjiang's interests, I will be their dog?"

"I'm going to make a bet with you. Not only will I not protect that bad boy named Chen Xyun, I will also issue a personal bounty and make him die in prison!"

Sheng Guowen, the white tycoon with a strong gangster spirit, finally couldn't hold it anymore.

All the careful arrangements today were made to show goodwill to the Police Department, but in the end you just flirted with a blind man, and they treat you as an enemy.

Sheng Guowen was obviously a little depressed. He was a representative of foreign capital after all, not just some nobody. If the other party was still not satisfied after all, there was nothing he could do. "I will definitely not hesitate to contribute money, manpower and effort. Director Kuang, I know Mr. Jiang Hanwen doesn't want to see me. After all, compared to you, he actually represents the official attitude of the higher-ups more.

"We have done a lot of excessive things in the past, and it is unrealistic to expect the higher-ups to believe us and change our attitude all of a sudden."

"But I, Sheng Guowen, want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. We..."

The bald man pointed at Kuang Zhili who was standing opposite him.

"Director Kuang, you and I are in the same boat. If we leave Hong Kong, we are nothing. But if we hold on to Hong Kong, there is still a vast market in the mainland waiting to be developed. There are plenty of opportunities to make money. You will have great potential in the future."

Sheng Guowen sighed.

"You and I are both mortals. We don't have the ability to predict the future like Mr. Jiang Hanwen. We can only take one step at a time and watch carefully to avoid being overturned by the waves."

"Mr. Sheng, please stop sighing. Brother Jiang and we are all brothers. Are you afraid that we won't have the chance to meet in the future? If your group pays for Brother Jiang to invest in two movies to show your sincerity, I think he will definitely be willing to meet."

Lao Zhuang watched Sheng Guowen, the usually arrogant leader, being humiliated, and laughed while lowering his head to dip in the sauce and covering his mouth with his hands.

Director Kuang's extreme pressure is really cool. If you want to join them, you have to have a bad attitude. He has always believed based on his intuition that Jiang Hanwen's relationship with the upper echelons is not that direct.

Of course, there are pipelines, but they are definitely not at the imperial level.

However, this does not affect Lao Zhuang's stance at all.

Jiang Hanwen’s strongest point and what people value most is not his looming relationships, but his extraordinary ability to plan everything out.

This person has the ability to change the situation, and the trend is like he is the trend.

In Han Country, a director who was not originally in the first tier was directly pushed to the hottest candidate for the next commander-in-chief.

He came to Hong Kong twice. The first time he helped the declining Police Force to make a comeback. He directly confronted the judicial system, thus preserving the Police Force's originally precarious position and even won the right to final discussion of criminal cases.

This time, he solved a major case that had no hope of being solved within three days. This not only restored the prestige of the Police Force, but also indirectly consolidated the various police forces by temporarily taking over the command of various districts and departments.

The above idea is correct.

Only those who control the gun have the right to speak.

The police force is currently the most important violent machine in Hong Kong. Only by controlling this machine can we push forward any economic, educational and judicial reforms.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Sheng, regarding the 2000 million consulting fee from Consultant Jiang, he asked me to explain to you that Lan Kwai Fong has many channels in the mainland and knows many people well. He said that he will now transfer the money to your company and donate it in the name of your company to help needy students in remote areas of the mainland. He also hopes that Mr. Sheng can send someone to follow up and supervise, and ensure that the funds are used for their intended purposes."

Lao Zhuang suddenly put down his chopsticks and took out a neatly folded check from his pocket.

He placed it in front of Sheng Guowen, and then repeated exactly what Jiang Hanwen had told him before he joined the crew.

"Damn, I almost forgot something so important."

"Boss Sheng, this is exactly what my brother Jiang said. As for how to do it, I still need Boss Sheng's help."

Lao Zhuang laughed and ignored the shocked expressions of Sheng Guowen and Kuang Zhili, and just took the beef balls out of the pot.

After hearing this, Sheng Guowen frowned and stopped using the chopsticks in his hand.

"Haha, this, this, this is true. Mr. Jiang is indeed extraordinary."

Even though Sheng Guowen was wealthy, he had never seen Jiang Hanwen spend money so casually.

This is 2000w, not 2000 yuan!
How much assets could an actor and director who only makes videos have? How could he just donate it so casually?
To put it simply, this is equivalent to asking Sheng Guowen to donate half of his wealth to the Hope Project.

Without blinking an eye,

Sheng Guowen was actually a little dazed, with a thousand thoughts running through his mind.

I originally thought that Jiang Hanwen was just a person with connections, and at most he had some little tricks that were unknown to the public, but that was all.

But the other party spent tens of millions of gold and gave away 2000 million yuan for charity without even signing his name.

This is no longer as simple as just being kind and charitable.

A person with such courage and determination has great ambitions!
"Ahahaha, Consultant Jiang is so generous. The money is his. How can he use our company's name? Absolutely not!"

Sheng Guowen even felt a slight tremor while speaking, and he was glad that he reacted quickly enough.

If we really followed Lao Zhuang's message and foolishly took the money, we would have donated it in the name of Lan Kwai Fong Company.

All the preparations and statements I made before became shit in an instant.

Kuang Zhili will definitely report the truth to his superiors when he returns. Lan Kwai Fong will never be able to enter the mainland market in this lifetime.

Put yourself in his shoes. Would you dare to trust such a profit-seeking and fame-seeking collaborator?

Too vicious, smiling but hiding a knife in the heart and ending up like this,

Jiang Hanwen, it turns out that you are the chess player behind the Hong Kong chess game.

The Police Department is nothing more than your chariot. Instead of coming here themselves, they sent two generals to play the role of the good and bad guy, and to feed you with love potions, just to test you~~~~
What a deep mind! How did he win over a person like Lao Zhuang? ? ? !

Sheng Guowen felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.

He held the chopsticks tightly, suppressed his trembling, and slammed the table.

"Mr. Jiang has done such a good deed! How can our Lan Kwai Fong Group fall behind?"

Sheng Guowen shouted loudly and finally stabilized his body.

"This is it! Mr. Jiang will pay 2000 million yuan, and I will pay 8000 million yuan to make it an even number for Mr. Jiang. All the money will be donated to the Hope Project in the name of the Police Department and Mr. Jiang. My company will also appoint three financial personnel to supervise the use of the funds throughout the process!!"

After Sheng Guowen finished speaking, his eyes widened with anger and his expression was passionate, completely different from his previous gloomy look.

Kuang Zhili and Lao Zhuang were stunned at first, then they glanced at each other, and then clapped and laughed.

"Have a drink!"

"cheers!"

"Dry!"

······
"Ahhhh!!"

"There are more than one bastard who are gossiping about me behind my back!"

Jiang Hanwen was sitting behind the crew's monitor watching the actors' performance when he suddenly sneezed several times in a row.

"Brother Hanwen, do you have a cold? This damn weather, so hot and cold, so annoying."

Xiaolu quickly covered Jiang Hanwen with the blanket on his legs, and then took out a large thermos cup from the small bag he carried with him.

"Brother Hanwen, I made some pear juice last night, have some."
