She pressed the scarred man against the cold steering wheel, pressing her knee firmly against his back, rendering him unable to move.
Scarface was still struggling frantically, cursing and swearing, but his body was firmly held in place, and he could only twist in vain.
It wasn't until plainclothes police officers rushed in and handcuffed him with a snap that Lin Li finally let go.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
"Mom, are you alright?"
Lin Laosan followed the policeman into the cockpit and looked him up and down.
He hugged Lin Li, looking terrified.
"Mom, you scared me to death! You really scared me to death!"
Lin Li patted his shoulder with a smile and chuckled softly.
"Don't you know my strength? What are you worried about?"
Lin Laosan: I know it, and I'm genuinely afraid.
"Alright, let's go see Wang Jianguo. He's been wronged lately."
Lin Laosan then released Lin Li, his eyes still filled with fear and unease.
Lin Li smiled and patted his hand. "Let's go."
Lin Laosan nodded, but held her hand tightly, as if afraid that Lin Li would be in danger again.
Lin Li: ...
Stepping onto the deck, the afternoon sun was still glaring, and she raised her hand to shield her eyes from it.
They saw Wang Jianguo being helped to sit on a bench at the dock by plainclothes police officers.
There was a glass of water next to him, which he was sipping slowly. His face was still pale, but his eyes had calmed down a lot.
In the distance, Mr. Yu was walking briskly toward the cargo ship.
His usually impeccable suit jacket was open, his tie hung askew around his neck, and his hair was disheveled by the wind. He was completely devoid of his usual composure and elegance, but his eyes were full of undisguised concern and anxiety.
Lin Laosan helped Lin Li to the dock.
Lin Li bent down to pick up the banknotes scattered on the ground and chuckled softly.
"Mr. Lin, are you alright?"
When Wang Jianguo saw Lin Li approaching, he struggled to stand up, his voice hoarse and choked with sobs, his eyes filled with tears.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been greedy and bought cheap seasonings, I wouldn't have been caught by them, and you would have been implicated..."
"It's good that everyone is safe. People's safety is more important than anything else."
Lin Li stuffed the banknotes she had picked up into the box, walked over to him, and patted his shoulder gently but firmly.
"Go back and rest for a few days. Others will take care of things at the shop."
Mr. Yu stepped forward and immediately noticed the tear and dust on Lin Li's cheongsam.
His brows furrowed instantly, and he strode up to her, scrutinizing her closely.
"I told you not to be so reckless. Look at you, all battered and bruised. Are you hurt?"
Although his tone was reproachful, his eyes softened and were full of concern.
"Inspector Li said that this group of people was a smuggling gang that had been entrenched at the dock for a long time. They not only kidnapped and extorted people, but also smuggled cultural relics and contraband. This time, they were all caught in one fell swoop, which is really gratifying."
The sea breeze ruffled Lin Li's hair, causing a few stray strands to stick to her cheeks.
Sunlight shone on her dust-covered red cheongsam, the tattered hem fluttering in the wind, creating a breathtakingly beautiful effect.
"So you've wiped them all out? Does that mean there are others behind them?"
Mr. Yu paused for a moment after hearing Lin Li's question, his lips pressed tightly together.
After a long while, he slowly began to speak.
"They're backed by the Tung Sing Gang, a notorious and powerful gang that's capable of committing countless crimes. Even Inspector Li and his team couldn't eliminate them..."
After hearing this, Lin Li remained silent, but her eyes darkened even more.
"Alright, that's settled then. Let's go back!"
Lin Laosan picked up the money from the ground, put it all into his suitcase, stood up, and walked beside Lin Li.
"Then let's go back first!"
The group left the dock.
After this incident, Lin Li arranged bodyguards for Wang Jianguo, ensuring he was always accompanied when he went in and out, in case anyone came looking for trouble again.
Old Master Yu, Luo Zhennan, and others also used their private connections to speak with the Tung Sing Gang.
After receiving the one million dollar settlement fee from Lin Li, the Dongxing Gang considered the matter closed.
After this matter was resolved, Lin Li first sent Wang Jianguo back to Shenzhen to recuperate.
She personally oversees the [Nanhai Pavilion] in the port city.
Lin Laosan followed her around, running up and down in a flurry of activity.
A week after the Spring Festival, Lin Li changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Looking at Lin Laosan, who was dressed neatly with his two little ones, he smiled slightly.
"Is everything ready?"
"Ready."
Grandpa Yu used his personal connections to get Lin Laosan and his two sons to attend school as temporary students for a week.
Today is their first day studying at the school as temporary students.
"Then let Acheng take you there. I'm going to the hotel today; it's opening soon, and things are getting busier and busier."
Lin Li said this as she put on her earrings.
"Okay, Mom, please be careful too."
"I know!"
As Lin Li spoke, she walked out of the villa.
Sitting in the back seat, Lin Li gazed intently out the window.
During this time, she had been secretly and discreetly inquiring about everything related to the Tung Sing Gang.
The East Star Gang's strongholds are spread throughout every corner of Hong Kong.
They have committed countless evil deeds and have become one of the most feared forces in the area.
Merchants have to pay them "protection fees" every month.
If you hesitate even slightly, your shop will be smashed to pieces.
The people dared not speak out for fear of retaliation.
In the nights of Hong Kong, one can often hear shouts of beatings, cursing, and crying coming from the shadows; that is the Tung Sing gang running rampant.
She wasn't a police officer, just a hotel owner who wanted to run her business peacefully, but the evil deeds of the Tung Sing gang had crossed her bottom line.
