Chapter 1421 The most hateful people are those who rely on their age and seniority.
Zhou Quan was shocked. What? Ah Wei and more than ten others are all dead? That can't be right. Hong Kong has laws. How could they be shot on the spot?
Then he became smug again, put his hands on his hips and laughed.
“I don’t care which police station you’re from. My master is a member of the Legislative Council, a Justice of the Peace, and a top figure in Hong Kong. How dare you violate my family’s property? You can wait and go back to London to eat your old rice.”
The foreign chief inspector didn't understand what "old rice" meant, but it wasn't a pleasant term either. He was so angry that he threw his hat down and waved his hand, ready to order all the officers to rush in.
Just then, two cars pulled up, and several reporters jumped out, carrying pens, paper, and cameras. They ran over before the cars had even stopped. Seeing this commotion, the reporters' eyes lit up – this was big news!
If this news gets published, the editor-in-chief will definitely praise him and give him a promotion and a raise.
"Hello, officer, we are reporters from the Star Evening News..."
"City Evening News..."
"Viewpoint Daily..."
Suddenly, three or four media outlets appeared. The chief inspector shuddered; if this got out, he'd be in big trouble. He quickly covered his face with his hands, but the reporters, seeing this, became even more arrogant.
"Officer, this is the old residence of Justice of the Peace Zhou Wenming. Why have you brought so many police officers to surround it? What is the matter?"
"Officer, are you here to arrest Councilor Chow? Do you know that doing this will have a huge impact on Councilor Chow?"
"Officer, do you police arrest people without evidence? Without evidence, this is trespassing, and the judge won't care whether you're a police officer or not."
The chief inspector kept dodging, and he was inwardly groaning. What kind of situation was this?
Huo Jiali coldly pushed him away, disgustedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and walked up to the reporters. The reporters were stunned for a moment, then saw Huo Jiali's police rank. They were a little timid, but then they became happy.
She's the first Chinese-American female superintendent of police, she's got that aura of her own, she's bound to generate buzz. If they just let them write about her, the newspaper's sales would skyrocket.
"Madam, are you the highest-ranking commander here?"
"Madam, has anyone committed any crimes in your home this week? Does the police have any evidence? Why are they making such a big fuss about arresting people?"
“Madam…”
Two reporters raised their cameras and tried to take pictures of Huo Jiali's face, but Huo Jiali remained cold and silent, only waving her hand. Two men in military uniforms came over and took their cameras away.
“Shut up right now. I’m warning you, I’m not a high-ranking officer in the police force. I’m a liaison officer from the Security Bureau. If you say another word, I will take you all away for endangering public safety in Hong Kong.”
The reporters were immediately dumbfounded. The information on the Security Bureau personnel was top secret, and no newspaper would dare to publish it. The reason they were so unscrupulous with the police was because the police had no control over them, and the Security Bureau could expel them from Hong Kong at any time under the pretext of arresting spies.
Zhou Quan was watching the commotion from the sidelines when he saw the reporters arrive. He was overjoyed, knowing that these reporters must have been sent by the master.
But when the policewoman stepped forward and said a few words, the reporters turned pale with fright. He didn't know what she said, but he knew the situation was extremely unfavorable for him, so he turned around and tried to close the door and run inside.
Huo Jiali said coldly,
"Zhou Fusheng committed murder and fled. After returning to Hong Kong, he did not restrain himself and continued to injure people, seriously endangering public safety in Hong Kong. His crime is unforgivable. He is hereby ordered to be arrested immediately. Anyone who obstructs his arrest will be punished the same as Zhou."
The police shouted and were about to rush in when suddenly the door was opened, and Zhou Fusheng helped an old woman out. Behind the old woman were five or six men and women, who, judging from their clothes, were also powerful and influential people.
The old lady was Zhou Fusheng's grandmother, now the matriarch of the Zhou family. Over the years, as her son became increasingly wealthy and powerful, more and more people fawned over him.
As a result, the old lady also became arrogant, and in her eyes, Hong Kong belonged to her son.
Old Mrs. Zhou shouted sternly.
"What are you trying to do? Don't you know where you are?"
Huo Jiali looked at Zhou Fusheng with an undisguised murderous intent in her eyes, which made Zhou Fusheng shiver involuntarily.
Huo Jiali said loudly.
“Zhou Fusheng, you committed murder and fled three years ago, and today you have severely injured and disfigured someone. Do you think the laws of Hong Kong are just for show?”
Zhou Fusheng was so frightened by the scene before him that he trembled and quickly tugged at the old lady's sleeve.
"grandmother……"
Old Mrs. Zhou gave a cold laugh.
"Stop trying to scare me. What murder and escape? What serious injury? You're just trying to frame me. My grandson has been right in front of me all day. He's not Sun Wukong; he can't be in two places at once to hurt someone."
Huo Jiali looked coldly at Old Mrs. Zhou.
"So you mean you're trying to obstruct the police from carrying out their duties?"
Grandma Zhou raised her chin and said proudly.
"Let them try to stop me, no one can take my grandson away from me anyway."
Huo Jiali giggled sweetly.
"You disrespectful old man, let's see if you can stop me."
The old lady never expected that this would get her into trouble.
When the police arrived, they handcuffed the old lady and Zhou Fusheng. Zhou Fusheng was terrified. He didn't expect that his grandmother couldn't control the police. In fact, he didn't understand why his grandmother could only control his father.
The police arrived quickly and left just as fast. In the blink of an eye, the police cars disappeared like a receding tide. Less than ten minutes after the police cars left, Councilor Zhou, accompanied by several Justices of the Peace, drove back to his old residence in a grand procession.
Upon arriving at the old house, Councilor Zhou learned that not only had his son been arrested, but his mother had also been implicated, which enraged him.
The Justices of the Peace were also in a position of mutual dependence. The reason they cultivated relationships with the Hong Kong British government and donated money was precisely for this honor.
If they don't even have this, then they're like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
“We want to protest! We’re going to protest at Government House!”
“We went to Government House to protest, and we also went to the Legislative Council. The police these days are too bold. Without any evidence, they even arrest members’ family members.”
Zhou Wenming's face turned ashen. He quickly grabbed the phone and called Sir He. Sir He was also having a headache at the time. He thought he had a lot of influence and had contacted Da Bao directly through Robert's side. Sir He thought to himself, "We're both top figures in Hong Kong, surely they should give me some face?"
Unexpectedly, when Da Bao heard that he had come to plead for Zhou Fusheng, Da Bao immediately launched into a tirade against both him and Robert, and then slammed down the microphone...
