As a guy who is well versed in both the black and white worlds and the art of exchanging interests, Yao Mu's reaction to Reinhardt's words was the fastest. He immediately realized the meaning of Reinhardt's words.

However, the commander on the scene was Nottingham Jones. As a subordinate, he could not take over the responsibility and talk directly to the lieutenant colonel on the opposite side, so he could only remind the other party quietly.

He leaned forward slightly and touched Nottingham Jones, attracting his attention, and then winked at him.

Nottingham Jones, who was trying to figure out the meaning of Reinhardt's words, already had a glimpse of his own. When he looked at Yao Mu's eyes, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

It seemed that the other party's understanding was consistent with his, which made him happy. He quickly saluted Reinhardt and said:

“Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, on behalf of our Central Police Station, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you and your friends for our negligence in our duties, and we will make appropriate compensation for the losses caused to you and your friends by our negligence.

I think what your friend just said is right. There is an old saying in China, "Don't air your dirty laundry in public." If what happened here today were to spread, it would indeed damage the reputation of our British Hong Kong government.

I also ask Your Excellency to help cover up the matter for the sake of our common citizenship in the British Empire. I will reward you handsomely after the incident!"

Hearing this, a trace of struggle appeared on Reinhardt's face, and his eyes involuntarily looked at Fang Lang. After all, the real outsiders here were Fang Lang and his subordinates. But they happened to be the largest group of people.

...

...

If he really wanted to make this matter less serious, he had to get Fang Lang's forgiveness. Fortunately, Fang Lang was his good brother, and it was also his suggestion to keep a low profile, which made Reinhardt feel more at ease.

As his eyes fell on Fang Lang's face, he saw that he was looking at him with a calm expression and a smile on his face. After meeting his eyes, the other party nodded calmly.

The meaning is obvious, which is to agree to his suggestion of paying some compensation, or it can be said that it is a hush money.

And, he seemed to be very generous in leaving the decision to himself.

"What bullshit are you talking about? Do I need you to compensate me?"

Reinhardt glanced around and continued to persist.

But everyone at the scene understood that this was an agreement to the compensation plan, because he said that he himself did not have to pay compensation, but he did not say that Fang Lang did not have to pay compensation.

When Fang Lang saw Reinhardt's eyes, he smiled slightly and made a gesture to the guards. Seeing this, the guards put away their guns and distanced themselves from Fang Lang and others.

Qi Qingshan even pushed Cai Jiabing, a red stick from the 14K who was standing aside and trying hard to reduce his presence, and signaled him to move away.

Then, he found the stall owner and his wife who had already cleaned up the surrounding tables and chairs, and whispered to them for a while. The two of them glanced in the direction of Fang Lang and others, and walked away very tactfully.

Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu looked at each other and then looked at Zeng John beside them.

Everyone knew that the next thing to discuss was how to compensate, or how much benefit to give in exchange for the other party's forgiveness and not mentioning the matter to anyone else.

Zeng Yuehan is still a grassroots police officer, so he is obviously not suitable to listen to these contents. Yao Mu directly said to Zeng Yuehan:

"John Zeng, go and keep an eye on that damn gangster. Don't let him get away."

Upon hearing this, Zeng John seemed to have found a savior, and immediately saluted Yao Mu and said:

"Yes, sir!"

Then, without hesitation, he ran behind Cai Jiabing, took out a pair of handcuffs, and handcuffed him.

Seeing that there were no more strangers around, Reinhardt breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had already risen to the rank of lieutenant colonel, this guy was obviously doing this kind of thing for the first time, so he was a little nervous.

Fang Lang saw this and laughed:

"Haha... Dear Reinhart, you have to learn to adapt. This is like politics, the art of compromise."

Fang Lang's unscrupulous speech made the other three people breathe a sigh of relief, especially Reinhardt. This was his first time experiencing such a thing, and he didn't like beating around the bush. Therefore, he really wanted everyone to talk openly.

Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu certainly cannot act as recklessly as Fang Lang, because they are the ones at fault in this matter. If they want to get through this difficult time safely, they must try their best to gain the understanding of the two opponents.

But Fang Lang's attitude also made them feel relieved, indicating that the other party was willing to talk. As for whether the other party would ask for a high price, the two of them didn't care at the moment. Moreover, even if the other party asked for a high price, they had many ways to transfer their losses.

After all, the culprits who caused this incident were the 14K and the Harmony Charter. After the talks here are over, neither Nottingham Jones nor Yao Mu will let these two culprits go.

However, at this moment, Nottingham Jones didn't know what kind of compensation conditions to propose to gain the other party's forgiveness. He could only continue to look at Reinhardt.

Now it seems that although Reinhardt is very dissatisfied with their performance, in the end, they are still family. Some things are hard to say, but everyone will be more likely to accept them when they are said by the other party.

After seeing his eyes, Reinhardt did not hesitate and spoke directly to Fang Lang:

"Fang, what kind of sincerity do you think we should ask them to show?"

The eye contact between the few people certainly did not escape Fang Lang's eyes. When he heard Reinhardt take the initiative to speak, Fang Lang couldn't help laughing. He glanced at Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu who seemed a little nervous, and then said to Reinhardt:

"Brother, I've said before, we are good brothers, your business is my business. Since you have decided to suppress this matter, I certainly respect your choice.

As for your suggestion of asking the two police officers to pay compensation, I think forget it! After all, I didn't lose anything tonight."

Hearing this, Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu looked at Fang Lang in disbelief. For a moment they were unable to react to what Fang Lang meant.

Reinhardt also spoke directly:

"Brother, let's be honest. We are good brothers, but these two bastards did make a mistake and they deserve to be punished."

Yao Mu, who had been silent, did not care whether it was the right time for him to speak and spoke directly:

"Yes! Sir, please give us a chance to express our apologies."

Fang Lang heard this, looked at Yao Mu, smiled and said:

"This gentleman must be Mr. Yao Mu, the new Chief Chinese Detective! Speaking of which, we are all Chinese, so there is no need to hide some things.

To put it bluntly, given my status, I really don't care about the compensation you can offer me. In terms of money, all of you combined don't have as much as I do, even the largest HSBC Bank in Hong Kong doesn't have that much.

In terms of rights, you can't provide me with any resources.

So, when I say I don’t want your compensation, I’m not joking, nor am I trying to ask for an exorbitant price.

In your eyes, what happened today may be very serious, but to me, it is actually just a trivial matter.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have proactively suggested to Reinhardt not to make a big deal out of this and let you guys handle it internally."

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, Reinhardt could only smile bitterly and nodded:

"Okay! You're right, they really can't produce anything that can make you take action. If that's the case, then let it go!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu, and said with a warning in his eyes:

"You are lucky this time. I hope you can learn from your mistakes. You won't be so lucky every time."

Upon hearing this, Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu didn't know what to say for a moment. After looking at each other blankly, they both revealed a sense of unreality.

But if the two of them really helped them cover up such a big thing, and they didn't say anything, they would both feel uneasy.

This kind of case, which could cause a diplomatic dispute, would have no good days if someone used it as a handle.

Therefore, the more the other party refused to let them make compensation, the more uncertain they felt.

Fortunately, Nottingham Jones remembered what Fang Lang had said before, and quickly took the initiative to speak:

"Mr. Fang, I heard you say earlier that you were planning to invest in Hong Kong City. I wonder what project you were planning to invest in?"

When Yao Mu heard Nottingham Jones deliberately say this in Chinese, he immediately understood what he meant. He quickly followed suit and said:

"Mr. Fang, are you planning to invest in Hong Kong? I wonder what projects you are planning to invest in. Although I am just an ordinary policeman, I still have some connections in the local area. Maybe I can provide you with some help within my ability!"

Fang Lang heard this and secretly said that the two of them should go on the road, but he just smiled slightly and said:

"That's a lot. First of all, I plan to buy a piece of land in Hong Kong City and build a private museum. This time when I went to Japan, those little people gave me a lot of Chinese cultural relics, which are obviously not suitable for me to put on the warship.

I am afraid that there will be damage if I transport them back to Brazil, so I plan to take advantage of the opportunity in the port city to find a place to build a private museum to collect these cultural relics. I will come and see them when I have time.

However, you can't help me with these things. I have already contacted Mr. Grantham, and he said that he would allocate a piece of land for me in the most prosperous place in Hong Kong City so that I can build my own private museum. "

Yao Mu couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he heard this, and his eyes changed again when he looked at Fang Lang. This guy said it lightly, saying that Xiao Rizi had given him a lot of Chinese cultural relics. As a person who had experienced World War II, especially when Japan occupied Hong Kong, he knew Xiao Rizi's character too well.

He believed that they would accept cultural relics given by others, but he would never believe that Xiao Ri would willingly give away the cultural relics that they had looted with great difficulty.

Moreover, the number is enough for him to build a private museum to collect them. It doesn't take much thought to know how huge the number of these cultural relics is.

But he couldn't understand why he chose to build a private museum in a port city. Was he really just worried that long-distance transportation on a warship would be unsafe?

What he didn't know was that the reason why Fang Lang chose to build his private museum in Gangcheng was because he knew that Gangcheng would be returned to him sooner or later. Now the cultural relics he had seized from the Japanese were actually things from his hometown, so of course he had to find a way to return them to their original owners.

Leaving these things in the port city is the best solution. Otherwise, after shipping them back to Brazil, it will be very difficult to ship them back from Brazil in the future. These are his innermost thoughts, and of course he will not let others know.

"So, Mr. Fang really likes Chinese cultural relics. Fortunately, I have a few of them at home. If Mr. Fang likes them, I can give them to him as gifts!"

Yao Mu was such a smart man! He quickly thought of a way to compensate Fang Lang.

Fang Lang heard this and looked at Yao Mu with some surprise.

"Oh! So Officer Yao also likes Chinese cultural relics? Then we can find an opportunity to exchange ideas!"
