Chapter 251: A Case of More Than $30 Billion

"I'll keep a close eye on Lelau," Shiva said to Rodon. "If that bastard Harari makes things difficult for us, don't blame us for messing with his son."

Rawdon smiled.

He understood what Shiva meant, which was probably in response to Lailao's imprisonment.

If Lalila had been in prison, he would have definitely had a good life. Even after the heat of this incident has passed, Harari would have been able to quickly get him released on medical parole under various pretexts.

People generally don't care about this kind of thing, so just let him be released on bail.

It wasn't some deep hatred, so basically everyone just turned a blind eye and let the matter go.

But Shiva has obviously set his sights on these this time, so it will not be so easy for Harari to get Lelau out so easily.

Harari can retaliate, but is there no other action on the part of the police?

The police will certainly not suffer so easily without reacting.

This reaction does not necessarily have to be shown immediately, it is also possible to settle the score later.

"Of course, in the case of Laluo, you must not be too impulsive. Just do what you need to do and don't let Harari catch any handle. Be patient." Shiva reminded Rotten again.

He was afraid that because of his youthful rage, Rawdon would take it out on Lailao, perhaps by torturing him in the police station. That would not be a good idea.

These can easily leave some marks.

It will be troublesome if it is noticed by the lawyers on the Lai Lao side.

After all, he is not an ordinary person, and the police must pay attention to this aspect.

"Commander, I understand." Rawdon said immediately, "I am not completely ignorant of all this. At most, I will give him some soft tactics. As for what happened to Lai Lao later, I will trouble you to teach him a lesson."

The so-called soft torture is mental torture.

The simplest thing is to not let you sleep at night.

When you want to sleep, they make some noise to keep you awake.

Or they turn the lights around you very brightly, which stimulates you and makes it difficult for you to fall asleep.

If this man can't sleep, he will have a mental breakdown.

That's not a pleasant feeling.

This was not physical punishment, and there were no scars to show for it afterwards.

So if the police want to torture criminals, there are actually many ways to do it, it just depends on whether the identity of the criminal makes the police afraid.

Originally, Rodon was not going to use such means, but since Harari treated him like this, he didn't need to be so polite to his son.

The son pays off his father's debts, and I just charge a little interest.

Hearing what Roden said, Shiva smiled and shook his head slightly, saying, "Don't worry, I have to vent my anger. Does Harari really think he can do whatever he wants? Do you think our police are so easy to bully?"

After that, Luoton went to work and investigated the case as usual.

This case involves too many things to be resolved all at once.

Now that I have lost my position as district director, there is no need to rush.

Take your time. As long as this case is not solved, many people will be worried.

These people are basically on Harari's side.

Since this old guy wants to play with me, I will play with him first.

But all the police officers in the police station were terrified.

Everyone had heard that Rawdon had been unable to be promoted to director.

If it were them, they would definitely be furious if their chance to be promoted to director was ruined.

At this time, no one dared to offend Rotun.

The police station used to be quite noisy, but recently it has become very quiet. No one speaks unless it is necessary, and any unimportant matters are communicated through eye contact or gestures.

They were afraid that any noise would irritate Rodon. If Director Mahesh exploded, wouldn't they suffer an unexpected disaster?

However, Rotun was still the same as usual, there was nothing unusual about him, and he didn't look angry at all.

This made many police officers in the police station secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

They felt that Chief Rawton had a really broad mind and didn't care about such misfortune, which made everyone admire him even more.

"Director, Mr. Adani's secretary, Helett Anqueya, wants to see you." Adani came in and asked respectfully.

Even Yada became more cautious.

Although the director didn't show any sign of it on the surface, he still didn't dare to be careless.

After all, the position of director is gone, who knows what the director really thinks? So it is better to be careful.

I can't make mistakes on these details.

In front of Rotten, Yada always holds himself to high standards.

This concerns the rest of his police career.

Whether he can go further depends entirely on Rawdon.

"Oh?" Luoton was a little surprised. He didn't know why Hewlett came here. It was obviously related to Adani. "Please come in."

He Lai Te quickly walked into the office under the guidance of Yada.

A police officer brought tea and then went downstairs.

Luo Da and He Lai Te were the only two people left in the office.

"I thought you didn't care about this loss." After hearing what Helett said, Roton smiled slightly.

He Lai Te said that he came here this time to register the refund of advertising fees, which was a problem with Lai Lao Company.

At that time, a company under the Adani Group also invested in Gurudi's advertisement.

However, ever since the Guludi incident, they have not reacted at all.

Some companies have already requested refunds and compensation from LaiLao, especially after LaiLao was arrested, most of the companies have come to register.

Of course, there are still a few companies that did not come.

Adani is one of them.

"It's really because our boss doesn't want to get involved in too many government matters." Hewlett explained with a smile, "This advertising fee is nothing to us."

"That's right." Roden smiled slightly.

Although Adani is not the richest man yet, his assets are still considerable.

He really doesn't care much about the advertising fees.

After all, Adani is very low-key.

Having experienced several life and death situations, such high-profile things are unnecessary for him.

But it would be nonsense to say that Adani doesn't want to be involved too much in government affairs.

These businessmen, especially the wealthy ones, cannot make their fortunes without government-level connections. Adani has already established a relationship with Lao Xian.

The old man is the Chief Minister of Gujarat and holds great power.

Therefore, Adani’s investment in Gujarat is huge, and it is basically the old immortal who uses the power of the Chief Minister to transfer benefits to Adani.

Getting the land is almost giving it away for free.

loan?

The government provides guarantees and low-interest loans.

Some high-quality government-owned companies were sold at low prices and privatized.

All of this fell into Adani's hands.

Luoton didn't think much about these things.

In fact, it is not just Adani. Which of the other wealthy people is not colluding with the local government? If it were someone else, the situation would be even more embarrassing.

At least Adani is low-key and doesn't show off. He is the kind of person who doesn't take advantage of others.

You have to know that many of them are just taking advantage of others and showing off in various ways.

In India, these people are not afraid of people's hatred of the rich.

The reason is simple.

It's mainly religious brainwashing.

Those low caste poor people have no expectations in this life.

They want to make you suffer in this life, and then be reborn as a high-caste official in the next life.

Luoton was a little confused. Since Adani didn't care much about the advertising fee, why did it register now?

Doesn't this have something to do with Harari?

If this were known by some media, it might be reported.

Those news media usually come up with some eye-catching headlines.

They will most likely say that the billionaire Adani is collecting debts from the son of the Interior Minister.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In fact, it is just a normal commercial debt dispute.

But if Adani and Harari are brought out, the impact of this news will be completely different.

Roden knew very well that this was something Adani didn't want to see.

Because Adani doesn't want to be in the news.

Perhaps he could suppress the news through financial connections, but it would bring him some trouble.

"Actually, I'm here to bring a message to you, the director, on behalf of my boss. My boss wants to invite you to have a chat." Helett said.

"It's such an honor. I will definitely go to Mr. Adani's invitation," said Roton with a smile.

After the two of them made an appointment, Roton sent Helett away.

What is Adani up to?

No matter what kind of medicine it is, Luoton is still willing to meet him.

This can be considered a real private contact.

Once there is a first time, there will be a second time in the future.

As for the relationship with Laoxian, as far as I can see now, I still have to start with Adani.

There are many members in the People's Party, but there are definitely not many who can be regarded as the old immortal's future confidants and trusted people.

Adani is one of them, and an extremely important one, the right-hand man. After all, he is in charge of money, the God of Wealth.

The next afternoon, Rodon met Gautam Adani at a hotel owned by the Adani Group.

There were only Roden and Adani in the room.

"I wonder what Mr. Adani wants to talk to me about this time?" Roton asked the question that he was very curious about.

"I heard that Officer Mahesh was supposed to take over as the chief of the North Central District Police Station, but now it seems that someone has messed it up?" Adani said, "Please don't be offended. I don't have any other intentions. I just thought that I might be able to help you with this matter."

"Mr. Adani, do you mean that you have a way to make me the district director?" Rawdon asked in surprise.

To be honest, ever since Shiva called him over and told him about this, Rawdon hadn't thought about the district chief anymore.

This position is no longer within my reach.

Thinking too much would only bring trouble to oneself. But Adani's words gave Luoton a little hope.

After all, Adani has a powerful background, is a wealthy man, and has a wide network of connections.

Maybe I can get some help from somewhere else?

If he could become the chief of the district police station, Rawdon would definitely not let it go.

"Officer Mahesh, you misunderstood." Adani nodded and sighed, "I'm afraid even your director general can't do anything about this matter, so how can I do it? What I mean is, you can target the guy who is trying to trip you up."

Luo Dun was stunned for a moment.

Come to think of it, the candidate for the position of district police chief has not yet been decided, but one thing is certain.

That is, this position cannot be yours.

Time was not on his side, and his position as first-class superintendent could not come down at all now.

I was overthinking it. Adani can't do it either.

It's not the time when the old immortal is in power, so the power he holds is not that great.

“Harari Gulmers?” Rodon asked.

He was thinking in his heart, is Adani trying to help him deal with Harari? This is not in line with Adani's usual style.

Adani is usually very low-key and generally unwilling to have any conflicts with anyone.

Even if there are conflicts, many of them are resolved privately, and these things are unlikely to appear in newspapers and other media.

Resolving the issue privately does not mean that Adani is a kind person.

Many so-called private solutions are not necessarily reconciliation, but rather making the other party disappear physically, be destroyed physically, and disappear from the world forever.

There is no doubt that wealthy people like Adani must have blood on their hands during their rise.

It’s just that Adani is very cautious in his actions. Normally, he would not offend senior government officials like Harari even if he doesn’t have a good relationship with them.

It’s not that Adani is afraid of Harari, but many times, if the government introduces some policies that target him slightly, it will still make businessmen like him feel uncomfortable.

After all, he is a businessman, and harmony brings wealth.

Sometimes, they are even willing to give money and gifts to government officials like Harari.

Even when facing some greedy officials, even if they are blackmailed a little more, they will not care as long as it is not too excessive.

As long as giving gifts can bring him more benefits, isn't it normal to give money to build relationships?

"Mr. Adani, may I ask what the solution is?" asked Rawdon.

As for Harari, neither he nor the top police officers have any good way to deal with him for the time being.

Shiva has already planned to start with Lelau, and they will try to hinder Harari when he wants to grant Lelau medical parole in the future.

“I wonder if you have heard about Andimutu Raja?” Adani asked.

"Andimutu Raja?" Rodon frowned.

Of course he knew this guy.

The current Federal Minister of Telecommunications is caught in the middle of a public opinion storm.

This is much more serious than what happened to Harari.

Andy Muthu created what was later called India's 'biggest' government corruption scandal, involving nearly 500 million mobile phone users across the country and costing the government more than $30 billion.

The amount of loss alone is much more than the last time the temple treasure was lost.

India's annual military expenditure in recent years is almost this amount, which shows the huge amount involved in this incident.

Later, this incident was rated as a Watergate-level scandal by Time magazine in the United States. It had a great influence in the world and became famous far and wide.

Andy Mutu has been the Federal Minister of Telecommunications since 2007. Since then, his name has frequently appeared in major media news.

This is actually normal. After all, as a minister, he is in charge of communications and has close ties with the media.

These politicians are generally very good at this kind of personal publicity.

He holds a government position and has power, and is connected to the media, so there is no reason not to promote himself.

Abusing public power for personal gain is a common practice. Not doing it would be outrageous and abnormal.

Politicians' names can often appear in the news media. In fact, they are promoting themselves, their political achievements, and their promises in front of the public in order to win votes.

But the nature of this soon changed. It was no longer publicity, but things that were mentioned with his name were often not good things, but various scandals.

In 2008, the Federal Ministry of Telecommunications headed by Andy Mutu illegally issued 2G mobile phone operating licenses at prices far below the market price. The prices of these licenses were incredibly low, and they were sold at wholesale prices.
