Behind him, in a police command vehicle, Kowloon Police District Inspector Qiao Dingguo impatiently knocked on the window. Cheung Wing-kam immediately smiled and quickly went over to stand at attention. Qiao Dingguo looked at the distant firelight and said:
"Arrest them."
"Yes, Sir!" Cheung Wing-kam snapped to attention, about to reply and order the six or seven plainclothes officers he had brought to do their jobs.
A loud response from the side nearly startled him so much that he drew his gun.
A tall, dark-skinned South Asia man, dressed in a well-fitting police uniform, saluted Qiao Dingguo with a standard attention gesture.
That "Yes, Sir" just now came from him.
After receiving a response from Qiao Dingguo, he took a copper whistle from his chest, put it in his mouth, and blew it loudly.
"Beep beep! Beep beep!"
Two sharp whistles sounded, followed by the wailing of sirens that filled the night sky. A large number of Pakistan police officers, armed with shields and batons, rushed out from their waiting positions and surrounded the scene of the fight.
"Inspector Cheung, you probably don't even know if your men might leak information to those gangsters beforehand. So, in the Hong Kong Police Force, South Asia Asians are more reliable than you China person." After seeing the Pakistan officers rush into the scene, Qiao Dingguo said to Cheung Wing-kam, "Have your men go to the United Soda Factory in To Kwa Wan and arrest all the workers there."
Chapter 420 Sun Zhizhong's Loyalty
"Even without Xizhen Properties, the United Soda Factory is still there. As long as the Soda Factory is there, the Lin Family won't starve even if they lose their power. But unfortunately, all the workers at the United Soda Factory are members of the He'a Wo On Lok family, who are suspected of smuggling contraband. And since this factory is a money-making machine that can generate money at any time, it's bound to attract a lot of interest." Song Tianyao stood in the study of the villa that the Chu Family had given him, admiring the dozens of books left by the previous owner.
Previously, Song Tianyao rarely came to this villa, and most of the time he stayed at the Dulles Hotel. Firstly, the hotel had staff to clean the rooms every day, while the villa had not yet found servants, and it would be too lonely for Song Tianyao to live alone. Secondly, if he rushed to move in and become neighbors with the Second Young Master Chu while the fierce battle with the Lin Family was still undecided, it would make the Chu Family behind the Second Young Master Chu Lu Family worry that he was planning to take advantage of the situation again.
Those prominent Chinese families may not care much about a villa, but they are quite attentive to the thoughts and intentions of outsiders.
However, these two points can now be put aside. After Angie Perlis accompanied her mentor, the elderly woman, for a few nights at the Hong Kong Hotel, the picky old woman complained that the hotel environment was too poor. She needed a pleasing garden, a terrace, and even a separate kitchen so she could prepare afternoon tea and enjoy the afternoon.
Angie Perlis remembered the villa, so she hired two White Russian maids to clean it up and move in with Juliana Abbey.
The layout of this villa, including its garden, terrace, and kitchen, finally earned Song Tianyao the only praise he received from the old woman.
As for the reactions of the Chu Family and Lu Families, Song Tianyao is no longer worried. Lu Wenjin and Chu Yaozong should be able to see by now that he doesn't want to get too close to them anymore. Even if they want to extend a helping hand to him in the future, he will have to think it over carefully.
"Everyone's interested, do you?" Chu Xiaoxin fiddled with the cigar Song Tianyao handed him, swaggering into the sandalwood chair behind the desk, his legs crossed and shaking incessantly.
When Second Young Master Chu was invited by Song Tianyao, he didn't even consider what Song Tianyao planned to talk to him about. He just assumed that Song Tianyao had invited him and Lu Peiying to visit the neighborhood that evening. At that moment, Lu Peiying, Angie Perlis, and Juliana Abbey went to the villa's terrace to enjoy the night view, while he and Song Tianyao were in the study enjoying cigars.
His question caused even Ji Wenming, who rarely wore a smile, to glance at Chu Xiaoxin Justice of the Peace, the second son-in-law of the Lu Family and a Justice of the Peace. It seemed that the rumors were unfounded; Second Young Master Chu Xiaoxin's rise to Justice of the Peace and his status as the Lu Family's son-in-law was indeed not due to intelligence, but rather to sheer luck.
A tall White Russian maid, dressed in an English-style servant's outfit, brought black tea and snacks to Song Tianyao, Ji Wenming, and Chu Xiaoxin in the study.
Seeing the maid, around thirty years old, charming and exuding the unique allure of a mature woman, come in to help pour tea and set out refreshments, Chu Xiaoxin's eyes practically bulged at Song Tianyao. After the maid finished her work and left, he eagerly asked:
"Hey, that Foreign Girl's been pretty good to you, hasn't she? Knowing you like foreigners, she even specifically chose a White Russian woman as your maid? Be careful, you might get kidney problems."
"I don't even have time for my woman, how could I be in the mood for maids?" Song Tianyao took a volume of "The Collected Works from the Ice-Drinker's Studio" published by Zhonghua Book Company from the bookshelf, turned to the title page to look at the withdrawal, and said, "The Soda Factory is for you. Do you think I'm interested? I'm not afraid of your scolding, but I'm afraid your father-in-law will sue me and bring down the Lu Family Big Brother together."
"The Soda Factory is mine?" Chu Xiaoxin paused, took the cigar out of his mouth, looked at Song Tianyao, then at Ji Wenming beside him with a smile, and then thought about what Song Tianyao had just said. He seemed to understand. "The Lu Family is not easy to deal with..."
Ji Wenming said, "Mr. Chu, there's really no need to dwell on the issue of factory ownership, because if you're going to dwell on it, there are many similar cases."
"How many...?" Chu Xiaoxin's smile had vanished, replaced by a blank stare as he glared at Ji Wenming and asked.
Ji Wenming shook his head. "There will probably be a few more."
"I initially wanted to hire a secretary to help me because I was afraid of getting tired, and then I met you, A-Yao. Now, it seems like I've become the Lu Family's secretary." Chu Xiaoxin scratched his head a few times in frustration. "The Pharmaceutical Factory was already troublesome enough, and now there's a Soda Factory? You're giving all the benefits to others, what are you planning to do yourself?"
"Big Brother, that's a good question. Now that I've made some money, I'm definitely planning to go to Japan and try out Japan girls, to savor the island's charms. Remember what I told you before, about love hotels, one room for one lover, of course you'd sleep with them for ten days or half a month, and after seeing a dozen or so lovers, I'll learn from your old ways of spending money in the brothels, to cultivate my character, you know." Song Tianyao looked up from his book and said to Chu Xiaoxin with a smile.
