"After you finish this drink, go to the police station, first get the person who will testify for you sorted out, then go see your Foreign Devil superior. I've already made arrangements within the Police Force; even if you don't explain things clearly enough, someone will teach you how to do it." Song Tianyao slowly picked up a boiled shrimp, easily peeled off the shell, and put the tender shrimp meat into his mouth. "The Britain the most hypocritical. They're clearly greedy to death inside, but they always put on a so-called gentlemanly act. There's no way around it; the Britain speak loud enough in Hong Kong now, and I'm not loud enough, so I'll just find an excuse for the Britain to eat meat, shall I?"

Lam Kong took a deep breath, determined to go all in. He could only rely on Song Tianyao now, and even if Song Tianyao deliberately framed him, there was nothing he could do. So he carefully put away the draft, picked up his glass, and drank with Song Tianyao, cautiously smiling as he asked, "Brother Hung Xiong, A-Yip Ye, when we were drinking and chatting privately, we said that Mr. Song, you probably hope the mainland never reclaims Hong Kong, so that you can rely on the Britain and become a big shot among the Hong Kong Chinese sooner or later. But just now, after hearing what you said... even Foreign Devil Britain... can't be relied on? Will the Foreign Devil' voices in Hong Kong become quieter in the future?"

Song Tianyao reached out and patted Lam Kong on the shoulder. "What? The Britain colonized Hong Kong for a hundred years, and now you think Britain reliable Hong Kong? I'll answer that question when I feel I can make a big enough impact in Hong Kong myself."

Chapter 424 The truth about the China person is not important to the Britain.

Lin Xiao qia stood by his mother's bedside, gently holding her hand, gazing at her face, which, even as she slept soundly after being injected with sedatives, still bore a trace of fear.

The stab the Lin Family in the back by Song Tianyao was fatal. Even though Lin Xiao qia had considered the consequences of shifting the blame onto Lin Xiaohe while he was detained, he never expected that his mother, after learning about his elder brother's and his own situation, would poison and kill the First Madam, who had made him subservient and obedient for the rest of his life.

Lin Xiao qia had no idea how much courage his mother needed to resist the power that the First Madam had left in her heart throughout her life.

On the other side of the hospital bed, two police officers were talking in hushed tones. When they noticed Lin Xiao qia looking over, one of the officers lowered his voice and said:

"Mr. Lin, the elderly lady has stabilized. Perhaps we should let her rest. We'll take you home. You've been at the hospital for over four hours, and we understand your feelings. We hope you won't put us in such a difficult position."

"How much does a scapegoat cost these days?" Lin Xiao qia nodded slightly and asked the other person a question in return.

The two officers were from the Political Department of the Police Force. However, they were clearly familiar with the side hustles that the Police Force usually engaged in, as Lin Xiao qia asked about them. One officer glanced at Zheng Ruilian's face and smiled, "It'll cost at least tens of thousands, right? If it's a woman, the price might be a little higher."

"In just twenty years, the price has increased so much. I remember when I hadn't finished studying at Queen's College and was just starting out helping out at home, it only cost two thousand dollars to get people scrambling to take someone else's place in their death." Lin Xiao qia gestured with his handcuffed hands toward the police officer, indicating that he wanted a cigarette.

"This is a hospital ward. Won't smoking bother the elderly person...?" the officer asked, taking a cigarette pack from his pocket.

Lin Xiao qia chuckled, "My mother has been inhaling the First Madam's secondhand smoke for decades, she's used to it."

The police officer took out a cigarette, lit it, and handed it to Lin Xiao qia. Lin Xiao qia put it in his mouth, bent down, pressed his head against his mother's chest for a moment, then stood up straight and walked out of the ward.

Two police officers and a lawyer were waiting in the corridor outside. Apart from these three, Sister Xiang stood alone against the wall on the other side of the corridor, holding a handkerchief to her lips and biting it hard with her teeth. Her eyes were red and swollen.

Seeing Lin Xiao qia walk out of Bingfeng, Sister Xiang looked up at him. "Second Young Master, I... I... it wasn't me, I... I didn't know... I don't care about my family, I was worried about you and Madam... I..."

"I know." Lin Xiao qia walked up to Sister Xiang, took the handkerchief from her hand, folded it neatly, and carefully wiped her eyes and face with Sister Xiang handcuffed hands. "If it were you, you wouldn't have come to the hospital to see me. You've suffered so much all these years. Stay here and take care of my mother for me. When I come back, I'll give you a proper status. Tell my older brother to hold off A-Sen outside. Once I've completely trapped A He inside, the Lin Family will be fine when I come out."

After saying this, Lin Xiao qia said to the police officers guarding him, "Let's go back."

Several people walked along the long corridor towards its end.

But before Lin Xiao qia could even turn the corner, several more police officers rushed towards him. The insignia on their shoulders indicated that they were at least Senior Station Sergeant, and if they were to be sent out, they would be at least Detective Chief Inspector level.

"Mr. Lin Xiao qia, this is Liu Zhichen from the Political Department. We received a report half an hour ago that you are suspected of bribing police officers. We hope you will come with us to assist in the investigation." The officer at the front said to Lin Xiao qia with a stern face.

"Officer, my client..." Lin Xiao qia's lawyer stepped forward, preparing to use words to evade Liu Zhichen.

Lin Xiao qia, cigarette dangling from his lips, turned and smiled at the police officer behind him, then looked at Liu Zhichen, interrupting the lawyer. "Officer, I've already confessed to the more serious cases. Why bring up this trivial charge of bribing police officers? Are you impatient to take me back because you think I've been out too long? No need. I've already confessed so much. Okay, you say bribery, but actually, it was my third brother A He, who made me do it."

"With this draft, we can understand the Lin Family's series of actions. Lin Family intentions are now very clear." Police Force Political Department Chief Herlys stroked his beard and spoke in standard English to the several Political Department officers before him.

Herlys name was Carl Hollas. Although he had a China name like all the Britain working in Hong Kong, he rarely wanted to be called by his Chinese name and was unwilling to communicate with anyone in China.
