Chapter 30 What Went Wrong
Aunt Liu knew that this foreigner had caused trouble, so she didn't compete with him for work today. Although they didn't get along, there was no major conflict, so she still hoped that David could stay.
Ye Lin knew David was uneasy, so he sat down and tasted a few bites of the dishes. They were all very good. "Not bad. I'll make this cod dish again this afternoon. Come with me to the police station later and tell me where you got the peanut oil."
"Okay, young master." David saw that Ye Lin was not angry with him after a night, and was willing to take him out. He felt much more at ease that he could help the young master testify.
A 1970s turquoise Jaguar XJ6 was driving on Sai Ying Pun Water Street, and its unique color attracted the attention of passers-by.
Ah Hui was driving, and Fang Bo was sitting in the passenger seat. Fang Bo insisted on coming to the police station today. He was worried about the young master coming into contact with those two people, so he changed into sportswear and took a walking stick.
"Uncle Fang, you have no problem walking, why are you holding a cane?" Ah Hui looked at Uncle Fang's strange outfit today.
Fang Bo snorted.
He was still furious about the conspiracy between Ah Hui and the young master to hide something from him, and he couldn't bear to blame the young master, so he could only direct his anger at Ah Hui. What else could this big, stupid guy do with his cane? Of course, he would hit someone.
The Li brothers came to the police station early today. On the one hand, they wanted to have some fun, and on the other hand, they were afraid that the police station would not do its job well, so they came to supervise.
The captain was pouring water for the two Li brothers when Ye Lin came in.
"Mr. Ye, please sit down. I'll get you a teacup." The captain quickly invited Ye Lin to sit down.
His boss praised him yesterday, saying that he did a great job this time and that he would definitely be promoted. He hadn't expected that Mr. Ye was a distant relative of the British royal family and the boss of Ye Group. Fortunately, he was quick to act and didn't offend anyone yesterday.
After finishing the statement with the captain, Ye Lin also handed the peanut oil to the captain. This was the only evidence of the first crime. There was also a witness David. The captain asked them to sit for a while. He led the team with David to capture the chef of Shunhong Restaurant.
Shunhong Restaurant is famous for its roast meats. It was still early, and the chefs in the kitchen were playing cards and taking a break.
"Lao Man, you've been so generous lately!"
The chef, known as Lao Man, put down a handful of Hong Kong dollars and laughed, "I taught a foreigner how to cook a few days ago and made a killing."
The chef opposite played a pair of Aces of Spades and said, "Our dishes here are simply better than their watercress!"
A group of people were talking at the table.
"Bang!" "Don't move, the police are doing something, get down!" The kitchen door was kicked open and a group of police rushed in and surrounded the chef.
The captain brought David in and asked David who was the one who taught him how to cook. David immediately saw his "good master" and pointed at Lao Man and said, "It'shim!"
Before Lao Man could react, he was pushed to the ground and handcuffed. Lao Man yelled on the ground, "It's unfair, officer! I took money from that foreigner. I'm going to give it back to him right now!"
The captain asked him, "Besides this person, who else have you accepted money from?"
As soon as Lao Man heard this, he knew he was in trouble. Last week, a man came to him and asked him to teach a foreigner how to cook, but he couldn't tell him what peanut oil was. He felt something was wrong, but the man offered too much money, so he agreed. He shouldn't have been greedy for such money!
"I will say what I want to say, and I will say everything!"
The captain escorted the chef Lao Man back to the police station. As soon as he entered the door, Lao Man was hit twice by Fang Bo's crutch.
The captain pretended to protect Lao Man and said symbolically, "No, the suspect assaulted him."
Fang Bo leaned on his crutch and said with an arrogant attitude, "Who hit him? I, an old man, couldn't stand. I don't know how this crutch got on him. You can arrest me." Just then he went in to deal with those two things!
The captain couldn't argue with him. This man looked to be in his forties, so how could he be an old man?
The captain had no way to deal with Fang Bo, so he could only turn around and tell Ye Lin that all the evidence was in place, and that they could file an appeal today, and the trial could begin in three days at the earliest.
After completing the formalities, the group said goodbye and left.
"Then Mr. Ye, we will go back first." Li Tianqin shook hands with Ye Lin and said goodbye. He couldn't wait to go back and write down the gossips of the past few days. Although it involved client privacy and could not be published, he could read it himself.
As they were talking, Uncle Gui and his wife came in from the police station gate, and Uncle Gui also saw Ye Lin and his group.
Mrs. Gui wanted to go forward and try to beg Ye Lin to see if she could get a lighter sentence for her daughter, but Uncle Gui held her tightly.
After seeing Ye Lin get in the car and leave, the lady said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you pulling me? You're embarrassed, I can't even go!"
Mrs. Gui was furious at Uncle Gui, and Uncle Gui said helplessly, "How can you beg Master for help for what she did? No wonder Ah Mei is in this situation. You, as her mother, didn't teach her well!"
Uncle Gui felt like he was meeting his wife for the first time these two days. He was not often at home before and was often on duty at the Ye family. He wanted to take his daughter to live with the Ye family, but seeing that his daughter was unwilling, he gave up and let his daughter stay at home with his wife.
The family has spent very little time together in recent years. He only knows that his wife loves to play cards, buy things, and compare with others. In his opinion, these are not a big problem. Taking care of children is hard work, and he is not at home every day. Let his wife spend money if she likes, and he will give all his salary to her.
It was not until today when he was packing up to move that he discovered that the family savings were only 6,000 Hong Kong dollars. There were more than a dozen boxes of clothes, bags and jewelry. One of her fur coats cost 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, and a handbag cost 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. The millions of Hong Kong dollars in salary he had earned over the past 20 years were all spent by his wife on buying things and playing cards. The same was true in Ah Mei's room. There was nothing else except expensive clothes and jewelry!
No wonder his daughter did such a thing for money! She was led astray by this woman! Divorce, he must divorce this woman.
A few days later, the case went to trial in the Hong Kong Court, filed by the Yip legal team. Witnesses included David, the chef, Mr. Fu, and the man who had hit the victim. Physical evidence included peanut oil, a fake stamp, a transfer receipt, and the damaged Phantom. The evidence was irrefutable.
Suspects Ji Yuanping and Amei refused to plead guilty and their sentences were invalidated. In the end, Amei was the main culprit, attempted murder several times, and was suspected of illegally transferring huge amounts of property. She was sentenced to 13 years in prison. Ji Yuanping was an accomplice and was sentenced to 8 years in prison.
The man who hit the person had Ye Lin's letter of apology, so he only needed to apologize to Ye Lin to be released in court. The chef Lao Man was sentenced to 1 year and 5 months in prison.
When the verdict came out, Ye Lin glanced at the photo of the Ye family of three placed on the table beside him, and silently said to them, the truth is out and you can rest in peace.
Uncle Gui had a blank expression on his face. When the verdict on his daughter came out, he seemed to have aged a dozen years. At this moment, he felt that he was an extremely failed father. His daughter was very cute when she was a child. If it wasn't for this, how could he not have noticed that the child had grown up crooked?
He was wrong. He thought that he could just give the money to his wife and be a hands-off boss, and his wife would raise the child well. He was so wrong. It was not until the child turned into a demon that he realized the problem. He was not a good father. He harmed the child and the young master.
Mrs. Gui was sobbing on the side. She had lost everything. Today, Lao Gui divorced her. Now her daughter had no hope and she had lost her house. She had been living the life of a rich wife since she got married. She had never earned a penny. She just went shopping and played cards every day. She also taught her daughter to dress up beautifully so that she could marry into a rich family and live in Repulse Bay.
After her daughter graduated from college, she pushed her into the Ye family. Since she was little, she taught her how to please Ye Lin. Where did she go wrong? She obviously relied on her beauty to marry Lao Gui and live the life of a wealthy wife! Isn't it right for her to want her daughter to marry better? Where did she go wrong?
