The reason why Shi Zhijian dared to brazenly tell the Hong Kong government that arresting Lei Luo was wrong stems entirely from the procedures for resolving the integrity crisis in the previous generation.
In the last life, before Lei Luo resigned and absconded, the Independent Commission Against Corruption had already obtained evidence of his corruption and bribery, and was preparing to issue an arrest warrant.
At this critical moment, Bailiqu stopped the operation, and Bailiqu previewed to Hong Kong Governor Mak Lihho a series of consequences of arresting Lei Luo, including the paralysis of the normal work of the entire Hong Kong government.
It is not terrible to pull out the cancer of Lei Luo. What is terrible is that this cancer will cause an uproar, trap countless government departments in it, and eventually lead to paralysis.
With such a preview, the Hong Kong government finally decided to turn a blind eye and let Lei Luo, the four detectives and others go, but issued a lifetime arrest warrant.
In addition, in order to stabilize social security, the Hong Kong government has also issued several latest regulations, including that any corruption cases that occurred before 1971 will not be pursued as long as the parties involved voluntarily hand over their illegal gains.
This gave those who were corrupt a way to survive. There were countless police officers and government officials who secretly surrendered to the Independent Commission Against Corruption and paid their illegal gains.
In this life, the situation was reversed, and it was proposed to let Lei Luo escape, and it was Shi Zhijian who formulated the new regulations of 1971, not Baili Qu. In contrast, Baili Qu became a stumbling block in the formulation of these regulations.
In general, Lei Luo's escape was deliberately suppressed by the Hong Kong government, so many media did not know about it. Many media were still immersed in the fact that the Kowloon Walled City was conquered and the people were rejoicing and encouraging.
At the same time, Shi Zhijian brought Brando, a close associate of Hong Kong Governor Makley Ho, to Lei Luo's villa area to ransack the property.
Brando and Shi Zhijian are also old acquaintances. To be precise, as the boss in charge of land development in Hong Kong, Brando has cooperated closely with Shi Zhijian's Shinhwa Real Estate Company in recent years.
It was precisely because of these achievements that Brando was increasingly trusted by Mark Maliho, who completely regarded Brando as the God of Wealth in real estate development. Many times, the Hong Kong government would ask Brando for help when it was short of funds.
As for Brando, he only needs to spread the word and put a piece of land in Hong Kong up for government auction, and countless developers will flock to it and hand over bags of banknotes.
Of course, as a close subordinate of Mai Lihao, Brando is also self-aware. He knows that Shi Zhijian has been behind him these past few days, and his Land Bureau business has been going smoothly. Therefore, he knows very well about Shi Zhijian that as long as the other party makes a move, he will
You can pinch yourself to death --- of course, although this is a bit exaggerated, it is also true, because many of Brando's illegal and disciplinary behaviors were controlled by Shi Zhijian.
At this moment, in Lei Luo Villa, Brando is leading the team to measure the area of the villa and inventory various objects in the villa.
Shi Zhijian was sitting comfortably on a rocking chair, drinking tea in the hall. He had been to this villa countless times before, and he could even find the right path with his eyes closed.
Brando was counting the data here. He quickly came over and said to Shi Zhijian with a smile: "Congressman Shi, the real estate and property here have almost been calculated."
Shi Zhijian put down his teacup and looked at Brando with a smile, waiting for him to report.
Brando clicked his tongue and said: "To be honest, you really don't know this without statistics. Once you get statistics, you will be shocked!"
"Not to mention anything else, Lei Luo's real estate in Hong Kong alone is countless, including five such villas worth more than 20 million, as well as dance halls, nightclubs, bars, etc. in Wan Chai, Yau Tsim Mong and other places.
It’s worth at least more than three thousand dollars!”
"So by rough calculation, these real estate properties are almost 50 million!" Brando clicked his lips and looked at Shi Zhijian and said.
Shi Zhijian smiled, "Bring me the statistics table!"
"Uh, what?" Brando hesitated before handing the form to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian sat on the rocking chair and swayed, looking at the report, and then slowly raised his head and looked at Brando.
Brando was a little at a loss under Shi Zhijian's sharp gaze. He coughed and laughed, "Is there something wrong?"
Shi Zhijian asked: "You think I'm a doer? Shinhwa can rise with the trend. Do you really think I'm lucky?"
Brando's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "Hey, it turns out I was wrong, there were not five villas, but ten! Those statisticians are so shit-eating, they can't even tell the difference between five and ten!"
"Really? Then I read it right! But it's okay to say five buildings above!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile, "One of the remaining five buildings will be used as a nursing home, and the other two will be handed over to the Port Governor MacLeho.
He wants to hate this kind of luxurious villa! The last two buildings, one for you and one for me, let’s study it carefully and see how the big tiger Lei Luo is corrupt?!”
Brando was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Understood! I'll do it right away! Councilor Shi, your house is more than half the size of mine, so you have to worry about it. For such a big villa, you need to personally experience the decay of the other side!"
"
"Hey, I can't help it. This is what I should do. Who made me a public servant of the people?! By the way, half of the nightclubs and bars in Leiluo have been set aside for me. I will also take care of these nightclubs.
, as for the rest, it’s up to you!”
"Got it! I will definitely handle it well!" Brando was happy and did not expect to get so many benefits from following Shi Zhijian.
In fact, Shi Zhijian knew all of this.
Why did Mai Lihao order Brando to assist him in raiding Lei Luo's house? It was because Brando was cautious and the most important thing was to be obedient.
And Mai Lihao's intention is also very simple. To fight tigers, wouldn't it be a big loss if he couldn't get some golden equipment?
He is also a human being, and he has to serve the people with a meager salary every month. Sometimes he should not take his life too seriously.
That's why Mai Lihao ordered Shi Zhijian to raid Lei Luo's house. First, Shi Zhijian knew Lei Luo very well, and he knew everything about his assets. Even if Brando wanted to play some tricks, it would be impossible.
Second, Shi Zhijian is known as a "treacherous god" and is very good at figuring out Mai Lihao's thoughts. Mai Lihao believes that after raiding Lei Luo's house this time, Shi Zhijian will give him a big surprise in private.
Last but not least, Shi Zhijian owns a huge group company, and he can completely wash away the property confiscated by Lei Luo, and then he will not even have any worries!
Facts have proved that Mai Lihao's guess was correct. Shi Zhijian was indeed acting according to Mai Lihao's plan. Now the ten villas have become five, bars, nightclubs, dance halls, etc., all at a half discount. The most important thing is Shi Zhijian's relationship with Brando.
He plausibly said: "This is actually for the good of the Hong Kong government. If these real data are released, it will cause panic among the people. We must control these financial data to a range that can be reported in detail! To share the worries of the people, let me do it
rise!"
At this moment, seeing Shi Zhijian's ability to explain Tan Mo in such a reasonable and selfless manner, Brando knelt down in admiration.
at this time----
Anxious footsteps sounded.
"Congressman Shi, Mr. Brando! Something big has happened. Go over and have a look!" But a clerk who was responsible for confiscating Lei Luo's other property gasped and rushed in with a look of shock on his face.
"What's going on? How is it appropriate to panic?" Brando scolded.
These clerks were all brought out by him. In order to show off in front of Shi Zhijian this time, Brando also specially selected some elite soldiers who would not panic in the face of trouble, but this person in front of him——
What a shame!
The clerk was scolded by Brando, and then he came to his senses and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I was a little impatient! The main reason is that when we were checking Lei Luo's property, we found something in his Thunder Club. You and Shi
Congressman, would you like to go over and have a look----"
After saying this, the clerk clicked his lips.
Brando is nothing yet.
But Shi Zhijian had already guessed what was going on, and said with a smile: "This is our job, of course we have to go and have a look!" After speaking, he slowly picked up the tea cup, took a sip, put it down, and stepped forward from the rocking chair.
Come on, "Let's go!"
…
Outside the Thunder Club, there were people crowding around at the moment.
Some uniformed police officers formed a cordon around the area to prevent the media reporters and citizens who were watching from taking a step forward.
"What's wrong?"
"I heard the police are raiding this club."
"This is Lei Luo's property. Could something have happened to him?"
"I don't know! Let's take a look and tell you!"
Those media reporters were even more gossipy. In addition to collecting comments from citizens at the scene, they also asked the police for information through various interpersonal relationships.
Unfortunately, this time the policemen were all warned in advance, and they responded to the inquiries from reporters by saying, "No comment!" Even if the reporters helped buy milk tea and blocked the line and reported fees, they would not be able to do so.
At the same time, Shi Zhijian and Brando, led by inspectors, had entered the Thunder Club.
Looking at everything familiar in front of him, Shi Zhijian could only sigh that "things have changed and people have changed." He thought about how luxurious and lively this place was at the beginning, but now it is deserted and deserted. Except for the seventeen or eighteen investigators taking inventory of property, there is no one else.
An investigator was packing bottles of high-end Rémy Martin into boxes. There were already more than 30 boxes placed on the ground. He smacked his lips and said, "My mother-in-law, these foreign wines are so expensive, but here they are as common as water!"
"Yes, there are also Chivas Regal, Royal Salute, and Hennessy! The boxes we brought can't even fit them in!"
Brando looked at everything in front of him and curled his lips, thinking that these men were making such a fuss, wasn't it just some foreign wine? He had never seen the world!
"Congressman Shi, Mr. Brando, this way please!" The inspector led the two of them toward the elevator.
As soon as he looked at the direction, Shi Zhijian knew where the other party was taking him.
Sure enough, after taking the elevator, the elevator did not go up, but went down.
After a moment, there was a bang!
Stopped.
Look below, there are inspectors strictly guarding the place, and they are even holding their guns, as if they are ready.
