Zhang Yujie tossed down the deposit slip, not even glancing at the two of them, and turned to walk outside.
The brothers Zhang Yuqi and Zhang Yulin could only smile apologetically at the two Chu Family brothers and explain that they were in a hurry to take Yuliang back to see their mother, and then they followed Zhang Yujie out of Likang.
In the blink of an eye, car engines roared outside, and everyone from the Zhang Family had left, returning Likang to its previous calm.
Chu Xiaozhong's face turned ashen. Zhang Yujie's behavior just now clearly placed him on an equal footing with his father, Chu Yaozong, and treated him and Chu Xiaoxin with a completely casual and perfunctory tone towards juniors.
He walked out of the office with a grim expression, glanced at Song Tianyao in the lobby, who was smoking a cigarette, sitting idly on his desk, staring blankly at the entrance of Likang: "What exactly did you and my father discuss?"
Song Tianyao slowly removed the long, ash-covered cigarette from his mouth, flicked it away, exhaled heavily, looked at Chu Xiaozhong, and paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Zhang Yuqi, very sharp. A fake document scared Zhang Yuliang."
"Fake?" Chu Xiaoxin had just watched a play, was the first to exclaim.
Even Kong Wing-yan looked at Song Tianyao, waiting for him to explain why he knew the document was fake.
"Zhang Yuliang is still too young. In a few years, Zhang Yuqi's little tricks may not be able to fool him anymore." Song Tianyao looked down at the Zippo in his hand, then looked up again. "But no matter how capable they are, they can't let the Zhang Family get rid of Likang with a mere one million Hong Kong dollars."
Song Tianyao called out to Rotten-Life Ju, who was guarding the gate, "Rotten-Life Ju! Go and find Chan Ah-sap. Young Master Young Master Shun something for him to do! Also, find out where that guy named Heizai Jie is right now!"
Chapter 162 Aftermath
Upon hearing Song Tianyao's instructions, the man outside, Rotten-Life Ju, immediately beckoned to one of Chao Yong Yi and asked him to go to the pier to contact Chan Ah-sap to come to Likang. He also sent someone across the sea to Kowloon to check where Heizai Jie of Wo Shing Yee was.
Song Tianyao picked up the phone from Likang Company, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Chu Xiaoxin: "Boss, what time is it?"
When he asked Chu Xiaoxin what time it was, Chu Xiaoxin and Chu Xiaozhong noticed that Song Tianyao's wrist was empty. This secretary, who now handles millions of yuan and schemes and works hard for Likang, looks like he is dressed in a suit and ties and spends money like water, but in reality he is still a penniless man.
Chu Xiaoxin took off the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 men's watch from his wrist and handed it to Song Tianyao: "Take a look yourself. It's a gift. If I had known you didn't have a watch last night, I could have let you go to my room and choose one. I bought eight or nine and left them at home."
"10:27, which is still 2:00 AM in London." Song Tianyao took the watch, glanced at the time, hesitated, and wanted to put the phone down, but then put it back to his ear and dialed a number.
"The Foreign Girl went back to London?" Chu Xiaoxin only learned that the Foreign Girl lawyer had left Hong Kong when Song Tianyao mentioned Angie Perlis.
Song Tianyao nodded to Chu Xiaoxin but didn't answer. A dozen seconds later, Angie Perlis's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a faint smile, "I thought you would be a gentleman and wait until dawn in London before calling me back."
"I did hesitate, and I have no doubt about your abilities. But right now I need some positive encouragement, so that there won't be another unexpected situation like Shek Chi-yik's that suddenly threw me into a panic," Song Tianyao said calmly.
Angie Perlis's voice on the other end of the phone was wide awake. She chuckled, "It feels good to be trusted and relied upon. After I got off the plane, I didn't even bother to adjust to the time difference. I went straight to handle the things you asked me to do. I didn't come back to rest until I saw the newspaper samples were already printed. I think the newspapers are ready to be delivered to various distribution points now, and it will take at most four more hours for them to be distributed to Britain households. I have to thank my female classmate who is interning in the legal department of the newspaper company, and her new boyfriend, the editor-in-chief."
"Okay, get a good night's sleep, thank you." Song Tianyao said thank you sincerely, then hung up the phone.
Chu Xiaozhong looked at Song Tianyao in confusion. "That Foreign Girl lawyer? The Governor of Hong Kong has already been taken care of by the Zhang Family, and the British Army have already withdrawn. With the Governor of Hong Kong preparing to end this seizure operation, Shek Chi-yik couldn't possibly do anything more, let alone an ordinary Foreign Girl lawyer?"
"Four hours." Song Tianyao put the watch Chu Xiaoxin had given him on his wrist, looked at Chu Xiaozhong had asked the question, and held up four fingers. "Four hours. Do you think it's possible to empty all those medicines from the Customs warehouse and then bring in enough evidence?"
"Evidence?" Chu Xiaozhong wasn't stupid, but unlike his father Chu Yaozong, he hadn't had a deep conversation with Song Tianyao. Based on just a few words from Song Tianyao's mouth, he couldn't possibly guess what Song Tianyao was up to.
"Young Master Zhong, you and Young Master Shun can rest here for a while. Four hours is a bit tight. Could you lend me Miss Jiang for an afternoon?" Song Tianyao glanced at Kong Wing-yan and asked Chu Xiaozhong.
Chu Xiaozhong looked at Kong Wing-yan: "Okay."
Song Tianyao picked up the deposit slip left by Zhang Yujie from his desk and handed it to Kong Wing-yan: "Miss Jiang, I'll have Chan Ah-sap help find someone named Lei Danzi. Any type of counterfeit medicine will do. Have him arrange for someone to buy it from those counterfeit drug factories in North Point. You'll be responsible for providing him with the money to buy those counterfeit drugs. Tell him that Song Tianyao's reward for helping him buy these counterfeit drugs is ten boxes of genuine Penicillin. He will definitely help, because currently, you can't buy unadulterated Penicillin on the Hong Kong market; only Likang can be brought out from the Customs warehouse."
"I can buy it myself, which will save you the money." Although Kong Wing-yan didn't know what Song Tianyao was going to do, she said this when she heard that she was to cooperate with someone else.
Song Tianyao shook his head. "If you don't get involved in smuggling contraband, those factories won't sell you counterfeit medicine. The more counterfeit medicine the better. If there isn't enough, just buy some empty packaging and ship it all to the Customs warehouse to make up the numbers. While Lei Danzi is buying medicine with you, have Chan Ah-sap lead Chao Yong Yi's men to empty all the medicines from the Customs warehouse and transport them to Likang's warehouse. Then have Chao Yong Yi's men guard Likang's warehouse. Unless it's British Army with machine guns breaking down the door, stop everyone, whether they're police officers or gangsters. The Customs Department received 150,000 from Likang, and there are also Shek Chi-yik's instructions. During this time, no matter what Likang does, he will pretend to be unaware."
