It was not only Kang Jianfei who was invited to tea by the police, but Lin Fengjiao and Lin Qingxia were also brought in to assist in the investigation. However, the police officer who handled the matter was quite sensible and knew that the identities of the three people were unusual. He spoke politely from beginning to end, and
There is no such thing as verbal abuse.
Kang Jianfei's three bodyguards did not encounter the police. Naturally, they would not be stupid enough to hijack the prison van to rescue people. Instead, they contacted the Taiwan reporters of AFP, AP and Reuters respectively. This was Kang Jianfei's prior order.
Before Kang Jianfei was taken to the police station, reporters from three news agencies in Taiwan had already received the news and called their assistants to quickly rush to the Taipei Police Station carrying cameras.
Since Kang Jianfei became the second largest shareholder and decision-maker of Paramount, his influence and popularity in the West have doubled. When reporters from the three major news agencies in Taiwan heard that Kang Jianfei had been arrested in Taiwan, they immediately knew that they had encountered
Big news, how can it be delayed for a second?
In addition to reporters from the three major news agencies, there are also local reporters in Taiwan. For example, the wife of the AFP reporter in Taiwan, Roland, is a native of Taiwan. At this time, she was working as an editor in the Taiwan United Daily News. She was also called "United Daily News"
The reporters rushed over together.
There are two or three major newspapers in Taiwan, and even the Information Bureau cannot control them. For example, the China Times published a full-page positive report on the wonderful performance of mainland athletes in the Olympic Games several years ago. This was an obvious violation and even illegal. The Taiwan authorities later
Nor will it be a brief punishment and then nothing will happen.
So the current scene occurred. Captain Liu, who was responsible for arresting Kang Jianfei, had just brought the suspect to the police station. As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by several reporters. They were locked with cameras and cameras.
"Police officer, what law did Mr. Kang break?"
"Can we interview Mr. Kang?"
"..."
As the questions were thrown one by one, Captain Liu of the Criminal Police Brigade of the police station suddenly felt bad. Damn it, how could these foreign reporters run faster than him?
Because the Taiwan media has not reported a word about Kang Jianfei in recent years, Captain Liu only knows that Kang Jianfei is a very powerful Hong Kong film company owner and director. How could he know that arresting him would alert reporters from the three major news agencies? This thing is not good.
It will become international news.
Captain Liu's political awareness was still very high. He did not dare to talk nonsense in front of reporters. He used the words "no comment" and "confidential handling of the case" when he came and went. He bypassed reporters and took Kang Jianfei and the others to the inquiry room.
There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Kang Jianfei, Lin Qingxia, and Lin Fengjiao were taken to the police station was soon known by several other newspapers in Taiwan. They sent reporters to wait outside the police station for interviews.
After a while, Yu Kanping was also taken to the police station. He, Lin Qingxia, and Lin Fengjiao were just assisting in the investigation and just took notes. But Kang Jianfei was actually interrogating here.
Captain Liu personally reviewed it. After he filled in Kang Jianfei's name and gender, he asked very politely: "What nationality is Mr. Kang now?"
Kang Jianfei had a good impression of the policeman and responded cooperatively: "British Hong Kong, Portuguese Macau, and American nationality."
The smile on Captain Liu's face froze, thinking to himself, aren't you the boss of Hong Kong? Why the hell is this related to the United States again!
Kang Jianfei's multiple nationalities were not deliberately obtained. They were obtained incidentally when he joined Macau TV and Paramount. Kang Jianfei obtained a US passport without even going through the green card period.
After all, the United States is the country of my father. Captain Liu became more and more cautious in his interrogation. His years of experience told him that Kang Jianfei was not that simple. After filling in Kang Jianfei’s international status, Captain Liu asked again: "What is Mr. Kang’s current job position?"
"Director, boss of the entertainment company," Kang Jianfei said to Captain Liu after answering, "I beat this police friend Zhang Jiuxin. You can't handle this. Call your chief."
Captain Liu sighed and said in a low voice: "Mr. Kang, this deputy director is an old subordinate of President Li. Even if you don't like it, you can't just beat him up. He will be legally responsible."
Kang Jianfei said nonchalantly: "I know how to strike, but that guy's nose was broken, and he will be fine after a few days of training. At most, this is considered a fight. Is it possible that there is a rule in Taiwan that for beating an official of the imperial court, the crime will be increased to one level?"
Captain Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only continue to interrogate: "Tell me about the cause and process of your fight?"
Kang Jianfei asked: "Can I wait until my lawyer comes?"
Captain Liu shook his head: "Mr. Kang, I often watch Hong Kong movies. After the bad guys are caught, they have the right to remain silent. But this is Taipei, not Hong Kong. You must cooperate with the police in handling the case."
"Okay," Kang Jianfei said helplessly, "That's it. Didn't the Information Bureau get a blocking order for me? I came back here just to have a good relationship with the Taiwanese government. I invited Zhang Jiuxin here
During the meal, I was very official and full of authority. Not only did I take the initiative to ask for a bribe of NT$50 million, but I also touched Miss Lin Qingxia and Miss Lin Fengjiao at the dinner table, and even asked them to exchange their bodies for help. I was so angry that I couldn't help it.
I'm going to hit someone."
"This..." Captain Liu started to feel something wrong when he heard it halfway. Kang Jianfei's nonsense has changed the nature of the case, involving a high-ranking official's bribery scandal, and it is also related to several celebrities. If he is not careful, he will cause big trouble.
After a moment of silence, Captain Liu said, "Mr. Kang, please wait here."
A few minutes later, Chief Hao of the Taipei Police Department, who was sleeping soundly with his little wife in his arms, was woken up by a call from Captain Liu.
"Damn it, you called me again in the middle of the night!" Director Hao cursed and picked up the phone.
"Director, I am Xiao Liu from the Criminal Police Team," Captain Liu said bitterly as he explained Kang Jianfei's case in detail, "Now there are twenty or thirty reporters gathered outside our police station, and those Green Party media have also come to join in the fun.
, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
"This is a crapshoot. I can't even handle this. You wait at the police station and take care of the reporters." After Director Hao hung up the phone, he immediately dialed the number of Taipei Mayor Xu Shuide.
Judging from his performance in the next twenty years, Xu Shuide was just a political loser, but now everyone thinks he is a die-hard member of the Li family. It is safest for Director Hao to call and report to Xu Shuide. Firstly, Xu Shuide is his boss. Secondly,
Both Xu Shuide and Zhang Jiuxin involved in the case are direct descendants of Li.
Xu Shuide is a very cautious person. When he heard that reporters from the three major news agencies in the world were gathered, he didn't dare to neglect and directly called the Presidential Palace overnight.
"Nonsense, who told you to arrest someone!" Mr. Li got angry and cursed as soon as he answered the phone. He talked a lot of nonsense and could talk for an hour continuously, and others could only listen obediently.
Others may not know Kang Jianfei's current situation because of the lack of information. But Li knows it very well. DreamWorks movies are extremely popular in Hong Kong, but people in Taiwan can only watch them on underground TV stations a year and a half after the movie was made.
Piracy. Therefore, the authorities’ ban on DreamWorks has been criticized by the public.
Mr. Li has just sat on the throne and is preparing to do a few things in line with public opinion to expand his influence among the people. For example, he will legalize the popular underground illegal TV station, issue cable TV station licenses, etc. And lift the ban on Kang Jianfei.
And the banning order of his company is one of them.
Especially after Kang Jianfei became Paramount's second largest shareholder, the Taiwan Information Bureau's blocking order became even more ridiculous. According to their original rhetoric, Paramount now belongs to Kang Jianfei's company. Does that mean Paramount's movies are also
Should be banned?
It was because of someone Li's hint that Shao Yuming, the director of the Information Bureau, was willing to contact Yu Kanping. However, this person was too cautious and actually asked deputy director Zhang Jiuxin to come forward, which led to such a good show.
Or maybe Shao Yuming did it on purpose. He might have guessed that Zhang Jiuxin, a loser, would mess things up. As for his deeper purpose, it's really hard to guess.
There are many factions within KMT, and Li's coming to power originally made many people dissatisfied. However, most of the important positions on the island have been replaced by Li's people, so those "anti-Li faction" can only tolerate it.
But now they were given an excuse. In the middle of the night that night, a large number of printing plants were reworked, and the already printed newspapers were reprinted and the headlines were changed. Some newspapers from the blue and green parties actually opened fire on the Li people.
The next day, "Liberty Times", "United Daily News" and "China Times" reported the matter on their front pages, and the content of the reports was exactly the same as what Kang Jianfei said during his interrogation.
Kang Jianfei accidentally got involved in KMT's factional struggle.
"High-ranking government officials forcefully demand a bribe of 50 million yuan, how can they be an official when the gap is difficult to fill?"
"Kang Jianfei beat up the deputy director in anger, and his anger turned into a beauty"
"Why do greedy people hold high positions?"
Li Fengchun is a Chinese teacher at a middle school in Taipei. He usually reads the newspaper after going to the school office because it is ordered by the school and can be read for free.
But there was something different today. When I was walking downstairs to the bus stop, I saw a shocking title on the street newsstand. I couldn't help but walk over and said, "Abo, give me a copy of the United Daily News."
The bus in the morning was very crowded. Li Fengchun's home was not far from the departure station, but he managed to grab a seat. He picked up the newspaper and read it, and then he realized that the news was related to his idol Lin Qingxia.
The newspaper did not specify who the official was, only calling him a deputy director of the Information Bureau. The first part of the news explained the incident in detail, saying that a deputy director asked Kang Jianfei for a bribe of NT$50 million, and also clamored for Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao to be released.
He was willing to help only if he had someone to sleep with him. In the end, Kang Jianfei was so angry that he beat him up and sent him to the hospital.
"Well done, these **bureaucrats should all be beaten to death!" Li Fengchun scolded as he watched. After the party ban was lifted last year and the party ban was lifted, Taiwanese people who had been controlled by their thoughts and speech for decades suddenly looked like those who had passed the college entrance examination.
Every one of the students took pleasure in criticizing the government after gaining freedom.
Li Fengchun was deeply impressed by Kang Jianfei because he was a fan of Lin Qingxia's movie. When the scandal between the two was exposed a few years ago, he also specially collected information about Kang Jianfei. During the Chinese New Year this year, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" directed and starred by Kang Jianfei was released.
Taiwan's illegal TV station is popular, Li Fengchun Loves the House and Wuxia also likes Kang Jianfei quite a lot.
The entire front page was reporting on this incident. After describing what happened, the newspaper began to introduce Kang Jianfei's situation.
"Kang Jianfei was born in 1961 in the Western calendar, at the age of 27.
Originally from Bao'an, Guangdong, Mainland China, he smuggled into Hong Kong due to hunger and poverty when he was 18 years old, and successfully obtained a Hong Kong ID card. In the same year, he published the martial arts novel "Looking for Qin Ji" in "Oriental Daily" and made his first pot of gold. He wrote "Looking for Qin Ji"
"At the same time, Kang Jianfei also created the script of "Shanghai Beach" for Hong Kong Radio Television and personally composed the lyrics and music of "Shanghai Beach".
In February of the following year, Kang Jianfei spent his royalties on directing the film "Happy Ghost" which was released and became the first Hong Kong film to have a box office of over 10 million. He then solely founded Oriental DreamWorks Film Company..."
The more Li Fengchun watched, the more amazed he became. He never expected that Kang Jianfei would develop to this point in just a few years. He would even become the second largest shareholder of a Hollywood movie giant. It was like a storyteller. Middle school teacher Li Fengchun couldn't help but admire Kang Jianfei.
After introducing Kang Jianfei's information, there is another article below, but it is the editor's comment on the incident, loudly calling on the government to eliminate corruption and purge officials.
The passenger sitting next to Li Fengchun kept tilting his head to read the newspaper in Li Fengchun's hand. After reading it, he suddenly said: "I didn't expect that Macau Satellite TV is also run by Kang Jianfei. What my daughter likes to watch most now is Macau Satellite TV. What did you say about the deputy director?
Who on earth dares to take advantage of Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao, and even asks for a bribe of 50 million? Isn’t he afraid that too much money will make his hands hot?"
"Maybe because Kang Jianfei has a lot of money, he thinks he is a fat sheep." Li Fengchun said casually.
The passenger laughed and said: "A fat sheep? You haven't seen Kang Jianfei's skills in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". I heard that he never used a stunt double during the filming. He is absolutely very skilled."
Li Fengchun nodded and said: "I don't know if he has real kung fu, but this Kang Jianfei is a real man. He dares to send a senior official to the hospital with his actions. Lin Qingxia's love for him is not in vain."
The passenger said: "Whoever dares to take advantage of my wife, I will make him look happy."
After the ban on newspapers was lifted in Taiwan, hundreds of newspapers sprung up like mushrooms after rain. In the following days, the news that Kang Jianfei furiously beat up corrupt officials was interpreted in various versions by tabloids.
Before Deputy Director Zhang even came out of the hospital, he lost his official title and was accused of corruption and dereliction of duty. He will be imprisoned for several years.
This was a decisive choice Li made after being under political siege. As for other means of political compromise, only people within KMT will know. (To be continued...)

I didn't go to bed until 4 o'clock last night after writing. This afternoon I felt sleepy after writing a few hundred words. I thought I would squint for half an hour, but ended up sleeping until five o'clock.u
