"Third Master, it's a pity that I have been loyal to you for so many years. Well, don't take Master Zhou away. I planned everything. I will go to the police station with you to explain the problem."
Zhou Sanshao saw determination on Zhou Ahai's face. He originally thought that Zhou Ahai would betray him, but he didn't expect him to be so loyal.
The police did not follow Zhou Ahai's arrangements and took Zhou Sanshao and Zhou Ahai back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.
After everyone dispersed, Liu De returned to Ling Qiqi Supermarket and recounted the events of Zhou Sanshao's supermarket to Huo Qiqi in detail. He said with a look of trepidation, "It's a good thing we increased security yesterday. That Liu Laoliu was caught red-handed when he was about to sabotage the place last night. Otherwise, the Health Department would have come to inspect it today, and it would have caused us a lot of trouble."
Huo Qiqi nodded. Although Zhou Sanshao was taken away by the police this time, if Zhou Ahai took responsibility for everything himself, he would at most have to pay a fine and be released.
The grievances between the Zhou family and myself are really endless.
"Liu De, do you know why Zhou Ahai is so loyal to Zhou Sanshao?" Huo Qiqi didn't intend to let Zhou Sanshao go easily. He was like a flea, so annoying.
"Boss, I actually heard this. It's said that Zhou Ahai's mother was in a car accident many years ago and was seriously injured. The driver ran away, and out of kindness, she was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. However, Zhou Ahai had no money. It was Zhou Zhou's son, Zhou San, who took pity on him and gave him some money, which allowed Zhou Ahai's mother to live until now."
Huo Qiqi thought about it and thought that given Zhou Sanshao's ruthless character, he would not help Zhou Ahai's mother with medical expenses for no reason.
"Liu De, arrange some personnel and contact a private detective to investigate the truth behind the car accident involving Zhou Ahai's mother. I have a feeling this incident is related to Zhou Sanshao."
Zhou Sanshao's arrest caused his wife to panic. She asked for information everywhere and even asked someone to notify Zhou Ahai's mother, Old Lady Xia, to go to the police station and tell Zhou Ahai to take all the charges and not to talk nonsense in prison.
Three days later, Liu De came to Huo Qiqi's office.
"Boss, we've found a witness to the car accident involving Zhou Ahai's mother. He's a photography enthusiast. After witnessing Zhou Sanshao's hit-and-run, he fled the country, fearing retaliation from the Zhou family. He recently heard from friends in Hong Kong that the Zhou family had split up, and Zhou Sanshao hadn't contacted him since then, only returning a few days ago."
When Huo Qiqi heard the news, she felt that it was really her own fault. "Liu De, is there a witness willing to come forward and testify?"
Liu De shook his head. He had tried many methods, but the witness was afraid of being persecuted by Zhou Sanshao and was unwilling to testify. Helplessly, he said to Huo Qiqi, "Boss, the witness doesn't want to testify. He's afraid that his peaceful life will be disrupted. However, he has photos of the accident scene. Zhou Sanshao's face is clearly captured in them. He found these photos while sorting his belongings before returning to Hong Kong. I gave him 10,000 yuan, and now I have the photos."
Huo Qiqi looked at the photos Liu De handed over. With these photos, Zhou San would have less trouble.
"Liu De, have the group's lawyer go see Zhou Ahai and tell him the truth about his mother's car accident."
The day after Zhou Sanshao was taken away by the police, he and his lawyer swaggered out of the police station.
When Zhou Sanshao returned home and saw the reports from major newspapers in Hong Kong, he was so angry that he fainted. After waking up, he had to clean up the mess.
As Hong Kong newspapers of all sizes exposed the substandard hygiene of Zhou Sanshao's supermarket, the reputation of Zhou Sanshao's supermarket in Yau Ma Tei became very bad, and many people complained and sought redress. Zhou Sanshao has been extremely busy these days dealing with these matters.
"Master, something bad has happened. The police are here." The new housekeeper, who was rapidly promoted by Zhou Sanshao, ran to Zhou Sanshao who was handling the matter in a panic.
Zhou Sanshao glanced at the new housekeeper with contempt in his heart. With such a character and such instability, how could he compare to Zhou Ahai? It seemed that he had to consider whether to let Zhou Ahai be his housekeeper after he was released from prison.
"If you are so flustered and have such a character, how can you accomplish great things in the future? I'll go and take a look." I watched Zhou Sanshao coming down the stairs.
The new housekeeper cursed inwardly, "Humph, what kind of person are you? Have you forgotten so quickly how panicked you looked when you were taken to the police station for questioning? Zhou Ahai is steady, but since he went to jail for you, you should find a new employer quickly."
Zhou Sanshao, who had just come downstairs, saw several policemen in the living room. Just as he was thinking about how to punish those security guards, the leading policeman said, "Zhou Sanshao, please come with us."
Zhou Sanshao thought the police were looking for him to find out about Zhou Ahai, so he smiled and refused, "Officers, if you want to know about Zhou Ahai, just ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know. Let's not go to the police station. It's too troublesome. Butler, serve the officers some good tea."
The leading police officer frowned, clearly not expecting Young Master Zhou San to say this, so he said bluntly, "Young Master Zhou San, we're afraid we can't have your tea any longer. Young Master Zhou San, you're suspected of a hit-and-run case from years ago, multiple assaults, embezzlement, corruption of public funds, and other crimes. You need to come with us to the police station immediately."
After hearing the words of the leading police officer, Zhou Sanshao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was completely finished now. Did Zhou Ahai confess everything? He looked at his wife in confusion. His wife was so scared that she slumped on the sofa. The other people in Zhou Sanshao's family were also heartbroken. If these charges were proven, Zhou Sanshao would be sentenced to many years in prison. Everyone should find a way out for themselves.
Despite the Zhou family's efforts to stop him, Zhou Sanshao was still taken away by the police.
"Boss, the person in charge of keeping an eye on Zhou Sanshao said he's been taken away by the police. Next, if we completely suppress his supermarket, we'll have a chance to buy it over."
"Liu De, should we give up on Zhou Sanshao's Supermarket? I have no intention of expanding the supermarket in Yau Ma Tei for the time being." Huo Qiqi looked in the direction of Zou's Supermarket.
"Boss, why? Young Master Zhou went in this time, and it will be decades before he comes out again. Young Master Zhou's family can't keep this supermarket. If we don't fight for it, others will take advantage of it." Liu De didn't quite understand Huo Qiqi's thoughts.
"Liu De, you know, we've been open for so long, and we've taken away half of the consumer population in Yau Ma Tei. Why isn't Zou's Supermarket panicking? Why can't Zou Chuang come and cause trouble for me?" Huo Qiqi looked at Liu De with a smile.
Liu De thought about it carefully, wondering if Huo Qiqi thought the same as he did, so he asked tentatively, "Boss, why? Is it because?"
"Liu De, it seems you've also thought about it. We're not expanding our supermarket for the time being because we don't want to be misunderstood by the Zou family. Zou Chuang must have guessed our purpose for opening a supermarket. He really is a very capable businessman."
