Chapter 276 Killing a Chicken with a Butcher Knife
Seeing Pei Wencong arrive and talk to Pei Wenhui, and then speak Mandarin to Li Ye, the group of people in the police station gathered around, talking in a buzzing manner and rubbing their hands together, as if they were going to tear the two people apart.
"Hey, who is that Ah Chan to you? He injured our brother, I want him to pay with his life"
"What's your relationship with that Ah Chan? My child's arm is broken. You are in trouble. You are in trouble."
"This guy is also Ah Chan, they are in the same group, this time we're going to get him too."
Pei Wencong's face turned black, and he and Aqiang stood in front of Li Ye with gritted teeth, wishing they had fangs to tear the people in front of them to pieces.
First he pushed his sister's car into the roadside gutter, then he started beating people up, and now he's even demanding that Li Dayong pay with his life. Does he really think that all people who speak Mandarin are good-tempered like Achan?
How come a good-tempered person like you can mess up your child when you are seven people at once?
Moreover, Li Ye is Pei Wencong's benefactor. If he gets even a little scratched today, his luck will be greatly reduced in the future.
"Hey, is this how you waste taxpayers' money? I warn you, if they do this again, I will sue you."
After hearing Pei Wencong's angry shout, the officers in the police station came over and dispersed the group of people.
At this time, Pei Wencong whispered to Li Ye: "Mr. Li, please be patient for a moment. In Hong Kong Island, we must abide by the law. When A-po arrives, I will definitely seek justice for you and your brother."
Li Ye said calmly: "I have been patient. I also know that Hong Kong Island is a place where the law is respected, but I also know that Hong Kong Island is a place where strength is respected. If anything happens to my brother, someone will definitely die."
“.”
Pei Wencong couldn't help but shudder, remembering the seven or eight men with flat heads and sharp eyes who were around Li Ye when he met him on Zhongying Street.
If A-chan is a derogatory term used by Hong Kong Island to refer to people from the north, then the meaning of "Daquan" is difficult to define.
In the 1970s, a group of men with flat heads entered Hong Kong Island from the mainland, each holding a three-edged spear. They fought with gangs despite being outnumbered by 20 to 70, killing more than a dozen people and crippling more than 20 others, which was a terrifying sight.
Now that Li Ye said this, Pei Wencong was half scared out of his wits.
The ferocity and cruelty of the Big Circle Boys have been rumored to be outrageous. How serious is Li Ye’s “lethal” crime?
Moreover, businessmen in Hong Kong are very taboo about being "smeared". If Pei Wencong is tainted with this, it will be difficult to wash it off for the rest of his life.
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it now."
Pei Wencong quickly borrowed the police station's phone to call Luo Runbo. In 1983, the new generation of Motorola mobile phones had just been successfully developed, and pagers were still the main means of communication in Hong Kong Island.
"Here it comes, stop calling, stop calling."
Luo Runbo wiped the sweat off his face and walked into the police station, and hurried to communicate with Pei Wencong and the police officer.
Pei Wencong said a few words in Luo Runbo's ear, and Luo Runbo was also very surprised.
Ten minutes later, Luo Runbo came over and said to Li Ye: "Mr. Li, your friend's injury is not serious, but he may have to stay in the police station today."
Li Ye said in an emotionless voice: "Why? I want to see him today, and you can't do it?"
Luo Runbo said with difficulty: "Mr. Li, although the other party was the first to cause trouble, all seven of them are in the hospital, and their lawyer is also very strong. The most important thing is that Mr. Li Dayong is from the mainland."
"Then find a tougher lawyer."
When Li Ye came, he saw two luxury cars parked outside the police station. It was obvious that the other party was not some poor gangster.
Luo Runbo is just a small transaction lawyer, and he changed his career to finance halfway through. Now is the time of tense negotiations with the mainland, so he is inevitably overwhelmed.
But Luo Runbo obviously misunderstood Li Ye's meaning and his face looked very ugly.
"Mr. Li, the other party is actually the one at fault. I will try my best to communicate with him. If we can reach a settlement, the loss will be minimal. The lawyer's fee is very high."
"You misunderstood me. I won't pay them a dime. You can go find someone now, either in Britain or at the lighthouse. As for the lawyer's fees."
Li Ye looked at him and said, "Didn't I just make three or four million dollars? Let's spend it according to the budget of one million dollars first, and we can add more if needed later."
Luo Runbo: “.”
Pei Wencong: “.”
A sir who happened to hear it said: “.”
What does "spend according to the budget of one million dollars first" mean? Boss, do you know how much one million dollars is?
That's almost a mansion on the Peak.
Luo Runbo continued to persuade: "In fact, it doesn't take that much, and there is even less talk about reconciliation."
"You misunderstood again. We are different from you," Li Ye interrupted coldly, "You like to haggle over small interests, but we have been fighting for our dignity since our grandfather's generation. I will break the legs of anyone who provokes me, and we have never lost."
“.”
Luo Runbo swallowed twice and asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Mr. Li, do you want to break their legs?"
Li Ye said calmly: "It depends on how much money those lawyers want to make from me. I only ask for two things.
First, ensure that my brother leaves Hong Kong Island safely and quietly. Second, those seven people must pay the price. Those who deserve to go to jail should go to jail. The longer they go to jail, the more legal fees I have to pay.”
Luo Runbo was relieved immediately. If you want to spend money to hit someone, just spend money to hit someone! It sounds like a vendetta in the underworld. How scary!
Having money gives him confidence, Luo Runbo also borrowed the police station's phone to call for help.
"Jamie, I have a big case here. You must come to Yuen Long Police Station within an hour."
"Bald Bo, you've gone into finance to make a fortune, what big case is there? Today is not April Fools' Day, don't joke around."
Hearing the three words "Bald Bo", Luo Runbo almost hung up the phone, but he still held back his anger and said, "My employer has a budget of one million for this case, but he wants your boss to come forward."
The other party was obviously slow for a moment, and then asked: "Old Luo, are you serious? What kind of case has a budget of one million? Why haven't I heard of such a big case recently?"
Luo Runbo said: "First, we will release a mainlander on bail, and then we will accuse him of speeding, gang fighting, and endangering public safety."
"Inlander?"
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then said: "People from the mainland are indeed a bit troublesome. You know the recent rumors. My boss is British.
But I can handle this kind of case, we can discuss the profit sharing!"
Luo Runbo sighed and said, "The one million I mentioned is US dollars, and the money is now in my trading account. My employer has specified that I need the strongest lawyer. If your boss is unwilling to come forward, I will call the Jewison Law Firm."
“.”
There was silence on the other end of the line for three seconds, and then it suddenly became louder.
"One million dollars is enough to get the Governor to come forward! Yuen Long Police Station, right? Give me 35 minutes."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Runbo didn't know whether what he did was right or not.
If we look at it rationally, Li Ye is really just making a fuss and acting on impulse.
But Luo Runbo understood very well that Li Ye was just going to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. He didn't care about the money at all. The most important thing was whether he felt good about venting his anger.
But since Li Ye asked for it, Luo Runbo didn't care whether it was right or not, he just cared about whether it was expensive or not.
Jamie's boss is a white lawyer who charges notoriously high fees. Of course, his style and methods are also notoriously tough.
However, Luo Runbo's behavior was very funny in the eyes of others.
The families and brothers of the seven injured people all laughed at Luo Runbo.
"Lawyer, did you change your career and study at TVB? And one million US dollars, hahahaha, it really scared us to death."
"It's ridiculous. They actually want to use this trick to trick us into reconciliation. Do they think we were brought up in fear? We will never reconcile. That Ah Chan must go to jail."
"As a subject of the Queen, you actually helped the mainlanders to cheat. It's shameful."
Luo Runbo looked at these people with pity and couldn't help laughing coldly.
The Queen's subjects?
I will show you later how the authentic British elites serve the people from the mainland.
With a million dollars in legal fees, they can do anything for you.
. . . . . .
Jamie has a very strong sense of time. He said 35 minutes would pass, and at the 34th minute, a Bentley arrived at Yuen Long Police Station.
Jamie, who looked like an elite, came down to greet Luo Runbo: "Hi, Lao Luo, where is your employer?"
Luo Runbo said: "The employer is not convenient to come, so I will be your agent. When will your boss arrive?"
"Twenty minutes at most. I asked a friend to check on me while I was on the road. The person who is holding the person responsible this time is not some big shot.
Li Qiheng and Liang Zhixin are barely multi-millionaires, the other three are from middle-class families, the other two are just hangouts, and one of the seven has a criminal record for dangerous driving."
Lawyer Jamie has proved his value before he even entered the police station. As the saying goes, snakes have their ways and cats have their ways. For a good lawyer, fighting lawsuits is one thing, but connecting with people is also an important aspect.
Of course, there will definitely be an item called “information consultation fee” on the final attorney’s bill.
Li Ye and Pei Wencong sat in a Mercedes-Benz outside the police station, watching coldly as Jamie took out a contract. After Luo Runbo read it carefully, he signed his name on behalf of Li Ye.
Pei Wencong said, "Mr. Li, from now on, Qiao Ben Law Firm will take over your commission. Once a big law firm like them starts to intervene, I think the other party will seek a settlement. After all, the other party is in the wrong."
"Since the other party is in the wrong, why should we reconcile? If I hadn't taken care of my brother and wanted to go back to school on time, my request would have been even more excessive. Don't you feel bad for your sister like that?"
"Of course I felt bad, she's my own sister, I wanted to strangle that speeding driver to death."
Pei Wencong was touched by Li Ye's words, and the softest part of his heart was touched. Today, Pei Wenhui's car was just pushed into the drainage ditch, but what if it was pushed off the cliff?
It’s just that Pei Wencong, who had been poor for a long time and suddenly became rich, felt a little sorry for the way Li Ye spent his money.
Li Ye asked, "Old Pei, why did you move your family to Taiping Mountain?"
Pei Wencong said: "Of course it is to provide a better environment for the family. In addition, businessmen also need to pay attention to their reputation."
Li Ye looked at Pei Wencong and said, "Yes! I am trying to save your face now, why are you still complaining?"
“.”
Pei Wencong was stunned, feeling that something was not right.
Could it be that he wanted me to bear half of the lawyer's fees? After all, my sister Pei Wenhui was one of the victims.
hiss~
This money cannot be saved, absolutely not saved.
"Mr. Li, this incident was caused by my sister. The lawyer fees are on me."
“Heh~”
Li Ye looked at Pei Wencong in surprise and laughed out loud.
This old Pei is quite sensible.
"I'll pay for it myself. Also, buy two of the Ferraris I told you about! One of them will be a gift to your sister to calm her down."
Pei Wencong was stunned for several seconds before he quickly said, "No need, Mr. Li. Really no need. The last time I bought that car for my sister, she complained that I was wasting money."
Li Ye shook his head slightly and said, "If your sister was driving a Ferrari today, would she be pushed into the ditch?"
Pei Wencong was stunned for a moment and nodded silently.
He actually understood why the rich were so keen on luxury houses and luxury cars. They actually used these things to distinguish themselves from ordinary people and to avoid some troubles.
For example, at the lighthouse, would those grumpy patrol officers treat the Continental owner roughly?
In mainland China, have you ever seen anyone scamming a Maybach?
