Chapter 25 Ancestors You Can't Afford to Offend
The Rolls-Royce Phantom drove slowly into Enping Street, and Ah Hui was so nervous that he almost pulled the steering wheel off.
Ah Hui arranged two bodyguards to surround Ye Lin on both sides, and there were three cars following behind. Ye Lin adjusted his cufflinks and said, "Ah Hui, relax. They dare not hit me to death openly. At most, they will break an arm or a leg." If they had the courage, they would not have used dirty tricks at the beginning.
After saying that, Ye Lin looked back through the rearview mirror. The fish came and the show began.
"Master, don't talk to me now. I need to watch the road carefully." Ah Hui's eyes were only on the cars on the road. Everyone he saw looked like a bad guy, and he couldn't hear what the master was saying at all.
A jeep followed quietly from behind. The big man had actually been with Ye Lin for a long time, but he couldn't bear to do it. The other person had no grudge against him, so how could he harm the other person for money? He was entangled in this dilemma until the car was about to drive out of Enping Street. Thinking of his mother in the ICU, the big man gritted his teeth and thought, I'm sorry, I'll just hit her, nothing will happen.
The black jeep suddenly accelerated on the leisurely street. The two classic cars next to it had no time to stop it. The Li brothers' second-hand car could not speed up for a while and was about to hit the Phantom.
Li Tianqin stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, but the car stalled instead. "Fuck! What a broken car!" He slammed his palm on the steering wheel, and then there was a "bang!" in front of the Phantom. The whole car was hit by the accelerating jeep and seriously deviated from the route. The rear end of the car was dented, and the front of the car hit the wall of the roadside shop, sinking seven or eight centimeters. The headlights were shattered all over the ground. This Rolls-Royce was basically useless.
Ah Mei, who had watched the whole process hiding in a street shop, put on sunglasses and went to HSBC. Her next step was to keep an eye on Ji Yuanping, the hypocrite.
"Young Master!" "Young Master!" "Mr. Ye!" People in the three cars behind ran forward and tried to open the car doors. Pedestrians on the roadside stopped to watch. A rare luxury car was smashed and scrapped. No one knew which rich man was sitting inside. Who could still walk?
Soon the accident site was surrounded by a circle, and some enthusiastic people helped to call the police. The bodyguards were trying hard to pull the car door. Li Gouqin was about to smash the window, and the car door was opened from the inside.
The bodyguard helped Ye Lin out of the car. Ye Lin felt a little dizzy and his feet were light-headed. He held onto a tree by the roadside and vomited a few times. Ah Hui took a bottle of mineral water from the car for Ye Lin to wash his face.
Seeing that Ye Lin was fine, the bodyguards and the Li brothers turned around to look for the driver who caused the accident. The big man didn't want to run away. He deserved to go to jail for hitting someone, so he was standing by the car waiting for the police to arrest him.
The bodyguard pushed the big man to the ground, and Li Tianqin kicked him, "Damn, this is the first time I regret not being a policeman. I would rather die with you today!" Li Gouqin pulled his brother down. He felt that both the big man and Ye Sheng were quite pitiful. One was rich and envied, and the other was poor and wanted to save his life.
Soon the police arrived, and the leading policeman got out of the car nonchalantly, "What are you all doing? Why are you blocking the traffic? No one is dead, so why move the car to the side?" This is the attitude of the police in this era.
It is relatively good now. In the past, from the 1960s to the early 1970s, Hong Kong was in a social state where the police controlled the gangs and the gangs controlled public security. The black and white were one family. It was not until the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1974 that this pathological relationship gradually disappeared, but the police's attitude in handling things is still very poor.
"What are you yelling about? How can you be so clueless! Don't you see someone committing murder and crashing a car? These police officers can do it if they don't want to. If you don't want to, get out of here!" Li Tianqin was not used to the police officer's bad temper and scolded him. He had an even worse temper when he was in the police academy.
The leading police officer then saw clearly that the two brothers Li Tianqin were standing nearby. He was so frightened that he couldn't even hold his baton. How could this devil be here? He quickly stepped forward and bent down to greet them, "Isn't this Brother Li? Look at me, I'm blind. Is this Brother Li's friend? Don't worry, brother. I will take care of it for you right away." The police officer saw that Li Tianqin's attitude changed 180 degrees and he almost called him his ancestors.
"Who is he? Is there any need to be so polite with him?" The trainee police officers behind them did not expect that the captain, who was usually aloof, could be so easy to talk to. "He is the son of the Chief Superintendent of Kowloon West. When he was in the police academy, he was a living ancestor. There was no one he dared not beat. I heard that after graduation, he gave up being a policeman and went into journalism." An old police officer also recognized the Li Tianqin brothers, so he was kind enough to popularize some knowledge for these young people, so that they would not get beaten up one day without having the chance to reason with them.
The police officer had just apologized to Li Tianqin and turned around to see who Li Tianqin's brother was. There was a young man sitting under a tree on the street. He didn't look like a pure Chinese and his facial features were somewhat Westernized.
The police officer had an even bigger headache. He was really unlucky today. He couldn't afford to offend any of these people. They were all his ancestors.
Hong Kong was still under British rule, so how could he dare offend a foreigner? He quickly approached and said, "I'm so sorry. When I heard about the case today, I got so anxious. I'm so sorry, I'm sorry."
Ye Lin didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of people who flattered the weak and looked at Ah Hui. Ah Hui snorted at the police officer, "Someone is trying to murder our young master. He's over there." He pointed to the big man who was pinned to the ground by the bodyguard.
Finally, there was someone he could handle. The officer walked over angrily, handcuffed the man, and handed him to the trainee officer behind him, "Take him back for questioning!" He turned around and asked Ye Lin, "Is there anything you need?"
Ah Hui said, "Someone used a forged seal at HSBC to transfer my young master's property. This person is the one they bought to stop us. We demand to go to HSBC immediately to arrest the criminal!" The police officer did not expect that a traffic problem could be upgraded to an economic crime case. His heart suddenly warmed up. If he could solve this case, he would definitely be promoted.
This time, the police officer was genuinely concerned about Ye Lin and invited him to get in the police car. They were going to HSBC now. Ye Lin waved his hand, indicating that they had another car. The police officer didn't force him and sent Ye Lin to the old car. He closed the door for Li Tianqin, ran back to the car, turned on the siren and drove towards HSBC.
Before leaving, Ye Lin asked Ah Hui to compensate the merchant whose wall was damaged by the Phantom. Ah Hui went back to his car and took out his briefcase. Ye Lin wrote a check for 20,000 Hong Kong dollars. The merchant refused to accept it and said, "It's too much. I can find some cement and fix it myself. Don't pay for it. It's just a small thing."
There was no other way. Ye Lin didn't have much cash on him. Thinking of the cufflinks he had been playing with all the way, which were made of sapphire and worth tens of thousands of dollars, he pulled them off and asked Ah Hui to stuff them into the store owner's pocket. Then he quickly got in the car and left.
"Master, how did you know they would go to HSBC?" Ah Hui asked curiously. The Master sometimes seemed to know everything. "They need to transfer money internationally. Currently in Hong Kong, HSBC is the fastest bank to handle international transactions. It will be their first choice."
So that's how it is. Ah Hui said, "Master, you know so much." Ye Lin thought to himself that he didn't know much at all. This young master had an empty head just like him. In order to keep up with the times, he crammed knowledge in the study every night, and his eyes hurt from tiredness recently.
