Meanwhile, Shen Dong also began to make preparations for the impending turmoil.
"Ah Hui, the Americans are very likely to kill me within forty-eight hours."
"Brother Dong, what should I do?"
"Ah Huan should have sent you the home addresses of those important figures in the US government and financial groups, right?"
"Know."
"After 10 p.m., have your men take their big guns and ambush them not far from their residence. If I really encounter a terrorist attack, have your men take out these 'Americans' directly."
"You're trying to use their attack to cover up ours, aren't you?"
“That’s right. My arms purchase has made the Americans determined to kill me. I must retaliate and show them that I’m not someone to be trifled with.”
"Brother Dong, do you know what they'll do?"
"My guess is that the most likely scenario is that the US military deployed several armed helicopters to launch missiles at the Central Police Station."
"Then shoot them down. Then everyone will know that it was the American troops who did it, and we can naturally get out unscathed."
"You handle it as you see fit. Ah Hui, I know you have connections with the inland government. But I hope you won't report this to your superiors. Because they would absolutely not approve of such a terrorist act."
“Brother Dong, I am the leader of the Tenglong Mercenary Group, not an inland army soldier. As long as it does not threaten the national security of the inland areas, I do not need to report to them.”
After finishing his call with Chen Hui, Shen Dong received a call from Du Yuxin.
"I just heard a report that the American government is going to take action against you."
"Very likely. It seems my plans are no match for reality."
"I've been instructed to tell you that we don't need your warships and aircraft to come. If necessary, our country's warships and aircraft will patrol the waters around Hong Kong Island. Also, your Chinese citizenship has been granted. Without solid evidence, if the United States dares to arrest you, a Chinese citizen, it would be declaring war on China. In short, no matter what, we will do everything in our power to ensure your safety."
"With your words of reassurance, I am at ease. I will handle the internal affairs of Hong Kong Island. As long as the mainland government can help me withstand external pressure, there will be no problem."
"Mr. Shen, best of luck."
"Hehe, I've always been very lucky."
Half an hour later, Central Police Station Commissioner Raymond, along with six core officers including Sung Chi-kit and Chan Ka-kui, arrived at the headquarters of the Ascendas Group and met with Sham Tung.
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Director Lei, Inspector Chen, Inspector Song, it's been a long time."
Raymond said, "Mr. Shen, someone has accused you of using coercion and intimidation to commit commercial crimes. We need you to go to the police station to assist in the investigation."
Shen Dong asked, puzzled, "This seems to fall under the jurisdiction of the Commercial Investigation Bureau. Does it have anything to do with your Central Police Station?"
Raymond explained, “Because this matter is of great importance and involves assets worth tens of billions of US dollars, we will detain you at the Central Police Station for 48 hours. Colleagues from the Commercial Investigation Bureau are already waiting for you at the station.”
Shen Dong smiled and said, "The Commercial Investigation Department is putting on quite a show. Okay, then I'll go with you."
Upon receiving the news, Ou Yongen walked in and said, "I'm going too."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Director Lei, you don't mind if I bring a lawyer with me, do you?"
Raymond said, "That's your right."
When Raymond led Shen Dong out of Tengfei's headquarters, reporters from more than ten media outlets immediately surrounded them.
Ascendas Group is now the number one company in Hong Kong Island, and many journalists stay here almost every day to get first-hand news and information about Ascendas.
"Mr. Shen, what exactly happened?"
Why are the police taking you away?
Have you broken the law?
The reporters asked a series of questions.
Shen Dong pressed his hands down, and only after the scene quieted down did he smile and say, "Dear reporters, I went to the police station mainly to cooperate with the investigation. There is no need for you to speculate."
A reporter asked, "Mr. Shen, what is the purpose of your cooperation with the investigation? Could you please tell me?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "The Zheng family sold the property to me for five billion US dollars, and now they're saying they forced them to sell. Haha, I'm speechless."
"Mr. Shen, did you force the other party?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "If you had something that could threaten the Zheng family, would you spend five billion US dollars to buy it?"
The reporter said, "Unless I'm out of my mind."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Shen Dong got into Raymond's police car, and escorted by eight police cars and nine luxury SUVs from the Tengfei Group, headed towards the Central Police Station.
"Lawrence, what's going on? Why is Shen Dong at the Central Police Station?" Giles roared into the phone.
Lawrence said with a wry smile, "Mr. Giles, I'm very sorry, but none of the officers at our West Ring Police Station dared to go to the Tengfei Group headquarters when they heard that we were going to arrest Shen Dong and detain him for 48 hours. I had no choice but to ask Raymond for help."
Giles was so angry his eyes were practically spitting fire. He shouted, "You can't even control your own men, Lawrence? Are you still an elite of our America?"
Lawrence, in a fit of despair, said, "I never claimed to be an elite. Mr. Giles, I'm getting old. I've submitted my application to return home three times, but you just won't agree. I have no choice but to take it one day at a time."
Giles laughed in exasperation and said, "Fine, it's all our fault. You submit a retirement application right now, and I'll approve it."
Lawrence said happily, "Thank you, Mr. Giles."
After hanging up the phone, Lawrence said disdainfully, "Damn it, you want me to be the one to stick my neck out? You wish."
After finishing his call with Lawrence, Giles immediately called Police Commissioner George Ting-an.
Qiao Ding'an already knew about this and told Giles that he was on his way to the Central Police Station.
Giles demanded that he keep Shen Dong at the Central Police Station for a full 48 hours to demonstrate to the public the fairness and impartiality of Hong Kong Island's laws.
Qiao Ding'an sneered inwardly but readily agreed.
Giles knew very well that Raymond accepted Shen Dong mainly to protect his safety.
Raymond was unaware that no matter how good their protective measures were, Shen Dong was doomed to die.
The only difference is which police station is blown up.
Soon, Qiao Ding'an arrived at the Central Police Station and met with Shen Dong.
He told Raymond to turn off the cameras and recording equipment, and then stand guard at the door to prevent anyone from coming in.
Only Qiao Ding'an, Shen Dong, and Ou Yong'en remained in the interrogation room.
Qiao Ding'an knew that Ou Yong'en was Shen Dong's woman, and that if one of them suffered, the other would suffer too, so he did not let him leave.
Shen Dong took a sip of coffee, staring intently at Qiao Ding'an, and said, "Director Qiao, you must be from the north, right?"
