"Madam, this is terrible. Our supermarket and warehouse in Yau Ma Tei have been emptied out. We have nothing left. Please think of a solution quickly."
The female store manager's hoarse voice broke the peace of the Zhou family.
Cai Xiaolan basically did not sleep all night because she was waiting for news from Zhou A Shui. She didn't feel sleepy until around 6 a.m. Just as she fell asleep, she was woken up by the female store manager. She was in a very bad mood.
Looking at the frightened female store manager, Huo Xiaolan asked in disbelief, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly?"
"Madam, I just said that our supermarket and warehouse in Yau Ma Tei have been emptied out. There is nothing left." The female store manager carefully repeated what she had just said.
"What? The supermarket and the warehouse were emptied? Are you kidding? Are all the security guards in the supermarket and the warehouse dead?" Cai Xiaolan grabbed the collar of the female store manager and scolded loudly.
Before the supermarket manager could explain, a maid stumbled in.
"Madam, something bad has happened. There are policemen outside the door. They insisted on breaking in and our people couldn't stop them," the maid who had just entered the room shouted loudly.
"Why are you panicking? What a disgrace! The sky isn't going to fall? No need to stop them, just let them in!" Cai Xiaolan suppressed her inner uneasiness and said to the maid with forced calmness.
"No need, Ms. Cai Xiaolan, we're here." As soon as the words fell, two policemen appeared in front of Cai Xiaolan.
When Cai Xiaolan saw the police appear, her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the matter had been leaked.
"Excuse me, officers, what's the matter with you coming to my house?" Cai Xiaolan asked with a trembling voice, trying hard to be strong.
"Excuse me, Ms. Cai Xiaolan, do you know Zhou Ashui?" a female police officer asked suddenly.
"Zhou Ashui is a servant in our family. Did he commit a crime? Do you need my cooperation in the investigation?"
Even if Cai Xiaolan lied about knowing Zhou Ashui, it would be useless because the police would find out with just a simple investigation.
"Ms. Cai Xiaolan, Zhou Ashui and Zhou Daniu were caught red-handed setting fire to someone else's warehouse. According to Zhou Ashui's confession, you arranged for him to hire someone to set the fire, and you also provided the funds involved. You are suspected of instigating arson. Please come with us."
The male police officer briefly explained the matter to Cai Xiaolan, mainly because he was worried that the two of them would clash with Cai Xiaolan's bodyguards, resulting in bloodshed.
"Two police officers, all of this was designed and planned by Zhou Ashui. You have already caught him. This matter has nothing to do with me." Cai Xiaolan said sternly.
"Ms. Cai Xiaolan, you are also a well-known person. I hope you won't make things difficult for us." After the policewoman said this, she put her hands on her waist, where the hand guards given to them by the police station were.
"Do you have any evidence? Just based on a servant's words, you said you could take me away. Is there still law in Hong Kong?" Cai Xiaolan asked loudly, hiding behind several bodyguards.
The two policemen obviously did not expect that Cai Xiaolan still wanted to resist arrest, and their rhythm was disrupted by Cai Xiaolan for a moment.
Just when a conflict was about to break out, the male police officer fired a warning shot and stopped the crazy actions of Cai Xiaolan's bodyguards.
The male police officer saw that he had the situation under control, and the female police officer took out handcuffs.
Cai Xiaolan looked at the handcuffs in the policewoman's hand and said unwillingly, "I don't want to be handcuffed. I want to go with you."
Cai Xiaolan said to her bodyguard, "Hurry up and get someone to contact Lawyer Wang." Her shaking hands showed her helplessness and fear at the moment.
Cai Xiaolan wanted Lawyer Wang to help her arrange bail, as she didn't want to go to jail at all.
With Cai Xiaolan being taken away, Zhou Sanshao's supermarket in Yau Ma Tei was completely closed.
Huo Qiqi told Liu De to increase the supermarket's promotion efforts to seize Zhou Supermarket's market share in Yau Ma Tei and snatch their customers.
Liu De looked at Huo Qiqi, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"Liu De's business competition is like this. It's a different time now. Zhou Sanshao actually sent people to set fire to the warehouse, so you can't blame us for fighting back." Huo Qiqi said coldly.
"Young Master Zhou is like an indestructible cockroach, always jumping around in front of us. This time I'm going to completely drive his Zhou's Supermarket out of Yau Ma Tei."
Boom boom boom
"Oh, it's Lawyer Wang. Please come in."
"Hello, Mr. Huo, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm here to seek peace with you on behalf of Mr. Zhou San. Please let me go." Lawyer Wang pushed his glasses on his nose and said seriously.
"Lawyer Wang, Mr. Zhou San and his wife Cai Xiaolan have attacked me many times. Why should he let me let them go?" Huo Qiqi curled her lips and said disdainfully.
"Boss Huo, Young Master Zhou has promised that if you drop the charges against them, they'll hand over Zhou's Supermarket to you. They've also decided to leave the country and not stay in Hong Kong anymore."
After hearing this, Huo Qiqi began to think more highly of Zhou Sanshao.
"Young Master Zhou San's supermarket and warehouse have been emptied. Didn't Young Master Zhou San get the news?" Huo Qiqi asked with some confusion.
"Boss Huo, Zhou Sanshao's supermarket is not only in Yau Ma Tei, but he also has a supermarket of similar size in Mong Kok. To show his sincerity, Zhou Sanshao is willing to transfer these two supermarkets to you first. I hope you can withdraw the charges against them afterwards." Lawyer Wang said as he took out a letter of authorization.
"Young Master Zhou has committed so many crimes. Even if I drop the charges against him, can he really leave Hong Kong?" Huo Qiqi still expressed the doubts in her heart.
"Mr. Zhou San, the things he did before were not serious crimes, and he is willing to double the compensation to the victim. He has already obtained the forgiveness of others. As long as he gets a letter of forgiveness from Mr. Huo, Mr. Zhou San can be released." In order to dispel Huo Qiqi's doubts, Lawyer Wang told Huo Qiqi what he knew.
"As for Ms. Cai Xiaolan, thank you, Boss Huo, for your hard work and for also issuing a letter of understanding."
"Lawyer Wang, if there are two supermarkets and I only issue one letter of apology, did Zhou Sanshao tell you who the letter of apology is for?" Huo Qiqi suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.
"Boss Huo, Young Master Zhou has also thought of what you said. He said that if you are only willing to issue a letter of apology, please give it to his wife, Ms. Cai Xiaolan."
After hearing what Lawyer Wang said, Huo Qiqi did not answer in a hurry, but paced around the room.
Huo Qiqi didn't expect that Zhou Sanshao was so nice to his wife.
Lawyer Wang seemed very patient and waited quietly for Huo Qiqi's decision.
"Liu De, do you know the supermarket where Mr. Zhou San is in Mong Kok?" Huo Qiqi suddenly changed the subject.
"Boss, I actually know that supermarket, but I didn't know it before. The owner behind it is also Mr. Zhou San. That supermarket is indeed quite big, and the business is pretty good."
"Lawyer Wang, please reply to Mr. Zhou San. As long as these two supermarkets are transferred to me, I will agree to issue two letters of understanding."
After Lawyer Wang left, Huo Qiqi said to Liu De with a smile.
"Liu De, it looks like you'll have to work hard to recruit a store manager again."
