Search warrant

We did our research before coming here.

With this thing around, no one can stop it; to do so would be illegal and allow one to enjoy royal privileges for a few days.

Xing Baohua helplessly extended his hand, gesturing for the other party to search freely.

While they confronted the guards, the traders took their computers and scaled the wall from the other side of the villa.

The surrounding mountains are densely forested, enough to hide a dozen or so people. Besides, many of Xing Baohua's guards are veterans of mountain warfare; with these mountain experts around, they won't get lost.

The house was rented, and there were no important documents or valuables inside.

The only remaining clue is the room where the traders stayed. Their luggage was hastily packed, but it still had a strong sense of everyday life.

There is a difference in the number of people in the rooms, but it's a minor issue that can be easily overlooked.

Geng Rui didn't leave; the pain of losing her virginity made her unsuitable for traversing mountains and valleys. She walked cautiously, let alone climbed walls or ran.

So Xiaotian stayed behind to take care of her. She was young, didn't know her limits, and was experiencing the benefits for the first time, so it was understandable that she couldn't control her exercise.

That day, Geng Rui gave Xiao Tian a lot of hateful eye rolls.

The investigators found the two in a room and asked them to come out.

In front of Xing Baohua, Inspector Liao asked Xiao Tianna, "Who are you? Are you from Hong Kong or mainland China? Can I see your ID and passport?"

When Xiao Tian looked at Xing Baohua, Liao Qichang smiled slightly, ignoring their exchange of glances, and asked Geng Rui, "Miss, who are you? Can you show me your identification?"

At this point, Xing Baohua said, "This is my cousin, she's from my hometown, and this gentleman is my brother-in-law. This villa is for them to stay in during their trip to Hong Kong. Any objections?"

By saying this, Xing Baohua was essentially vouching for the two of them.

At this point, checking documents is pointless. If you want to know who the man and woman are, you can find out from the immigration department.

"Mr. Xing, you've been spending time with your relatives at the villa all this time! You've neglected your company. It's such a big deal; you can't just let it go. It's close to a hundred billion Hong Kong dollars. Even the Governor of Hong Kong wouldn't dare to be careless with such a huge sum of money; he wouldn't be able to sleep well." Liao Qichang asked Xing Baohua with a smile.

“First of all, you’re not the Governor of Hong Kong, so how do you know he can’t sleep?” Xing Baohua said, holding up two fingers. Liao Qichang looked at Xing Baohua, puzzled.

"Twice, your Governor of Hong Kong invited me to play golf during working hours. Hong Kong is such a big city, and he actually played golf during working hours? Do you know what that means?"

"What's the meaning?"

"This shows that Hong Kong is really good, so good that he has nothing to do and a group of capable subordinates to take on the heavy workload. If he had to ask the Governor for this and that, even the donkey pulling the millstone would be humbled."

Upon hearing this, Geng Rui chuckled softly.

Ironically, this statement indirectly shows that Xing Baohua's company has many capable people helping him work and make money.

Although Liao Qichang's expression was not good, he was not angry. Just as he was about to organize his words to ask a few more questions, his men found two computers, a laptop and a desktop.

Of course, Jin Xin also came out; he was brought out from Xing Baohua's bedroom.

He even scratched the investigators for a while while they were trying to take the laptop from him. The investigator also had several scratches on his face.

It's not a big deal, but it's enough to warrant a rapist.

Jin Xin quietly told the lawyer present what had happened, saying that entrusting this matter to him would simply mean spending more money.

When the lawyer asked the search officers whether they had shown a search warrant before entering the room, the officer replied...

There's only one copy of this, and it's still in Inspector Liao Qichang's hands. Ordinary people wouldn't have one. When Jin Xin showed this order just now, he had already gone to Xing Baohua's room to handle some things.

So Jin Xin didn't know there was such a document, and since the search personnel were in plainclothes, who knew if the person who came in was a thief.

Fortunately, Hong Kong isn't America; otherwise, if they had just entered the room so casually, this investigator would have been lying on the floor by now.

The lawyer sought mediation from the investigator, offering 3,000 yuan to settle the matter. If it had been a mere formality, he probably wouldn't have gotten even 300 yuan.

Liao Qichang pointed to the two computers and asked Xing Baohua, "These two computers are yours."

"Yes! Is there a problem?"

"We need to take it back for investigation."

Xing Baohua shook her head first, as if to refuse. But her words implied agreement.

“Taking it away is no problem, but you have to sign a confidentiality agreement. Everyone who has seen the computer has to sign it. Do you understand? This contains all trade secrets, the kind worth hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Can you guarantee that you won’t leak it?” Xing Baohua asked.

“Mr. Xing, our Commercial Investigation Department has the authority to investigate all trade secrets, regardless of their value. No one can defy the law,” Liao Qichang said curtly.

“Trade secrets are protected by law. If you can’t guarantee that, then find someone to act as a guarantor,” Xing Baohua said, turning on his computer.

Then they had someone take pictures, including the file size, file types, total number of files, and even individual file names.

The two cameras took turns taking pictures, and then the camera took out the film and handed it to Xing Baohua, who said, "Inspector Liao, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that you don't have enough female police officers. Please ask your director to come over."

Xing Baohua is telling him to call the top leader! Liao Qichang would have to be that influential to do that.

He didn't have that kind of face, and neither did the foreigners behind him.

But there are people who can be persuaded!
