Huang Ziya smiled and shook her head, then turned and left under Nai Khun's surprised gaze, muttering, "Crazy!"
As Huang Ziya turned and left, the Macau Street seemed to explode like a series of firecrackers. The gunmen surrounding Nai Khun and his group pulled the triggers without hesitation, and bullets rained down like a storm!
Chapter 556 The Wind Stops
In the conference hall of the Xu Family's two-story villa, Tan Jingwei's confident smile vanished without a trace as a team of Marine Police stormed in.
Zhao Wenye unfolded an arrest warrant and placed it in front of Tan Jingwei: "Mr. Tam, according to our investigation, you are suspected of colluding with pirates on Hanging Neck Ridge to blow up a Hong Kong ship bound for Dan Kowloon East. Please come with us to assist in the investigation."
Upon hearing this, even though the people sitting in the hall were all true Hong Kong Chinese tycoons, none of them could hide their emotions, they couldn't help but stare in astonishment.
Chu Yaozong knew Song Tianyao's methods best. Although Song Tianyao hadn't told him the plan this time, seeing Zhao Wenye's Marine Police brazenly barging into the Xu Family's meeting hall, he had already guessed seven or eight parts of what had happened.
Upon hearing Zhao Wenye speak these words with a righteous and stern face, Chu Yaozong nearly spat out his tea.
Tan Jingwei colluding with pirates? Even Zhao Wenye, who currently holds an arrest warrant, probably wouldn't believe such a thing, yet he managed to say it without laughing, which even impressed Chu Yaozong.
"Do you even know who you're talking to?" Tan Jingwei frowned and glared at Zhao Wenye, not even glancing at the arrest warrant in Zhao Wenye's hand. "I'm a special envoy from Taiwan, here to assist in the investigation of the case involving the theft of aircraft engines by employees of the Two Airlines Uprising. Arrest me? If something happens, even your boss can't protect you!"
While Tan Jingwei was verbally berating Zhao Wenye, his mind was racing. He was clearly not as calm as he appeared. After being in Hong Kong for so long, this was the first time he felt a sense of unease.
Why would Foreign Devil Britain issue an arrest warrant out of the blue? Why hasn't Sheng Zhaozhong returned after all this time? Why did Di Zhen and his men blow up the ship? Was there an airplane engine inside the destroyed ship?
A series of questions appeared in Tan Jingwei's mind almost simultaneously. Before he could sort them out, Xu Pingsheng's angry voice rang out from outside the door.
"Mr. Tam! Tan Jingwei! Do you really think I'll be afraid of you just because you're from Taiwan?!" Xu Pingsheng's face was no longer showing any of the fear he had shown when he learned about Xu Enbo's smuggling of ships. He stormed in, pointing his finger at Tan Jingwei's nose and shouting, "Bomb my ships at my dock? Hong Kong is none of your Kuomintang's business! I'll beat your mother up!"
After Xu Pingsheng finished speaking, he grabbed the teapot on the table and smashed it hard in front of Tan Jingwei.
Tan Jingwei stared at Xu Pingsheng with a gloomy expression, and asked, word by word, "Have you finished your act? Where is Sheng Zhaozhong? I need to see him."
From the moment Xu Pingsheng entered the room, all the doubts in Tan Jingwei's mind seemed to find their starting point, and everything became clear.
The one who truly colluded with Song Tianyao was not the young Xu Enbo, but the old fox Xu Pingsheng.
The old fox had clearly made up his mind to choose sides long ago. The ship bound for Brazil was just a smokescreen he put out. He then used Di Zhen and his men to blow up the cargo ship and frame him, so that they could openly turn against him.
"Sheng Zhaozhong colluded with pirates and has been killed by us at the Victoria Harbour public pier. My two Britain superiors witnessed this. I think the report has been submitted to the Secretariat." Zhao Wenye's cold voice answered Tan Jingwei.
Even though he already suspected that Sheng Zhaozhong was likely doomed, Tan Jingwei still couldn't help but freeze upon hearing the news, and then closed his eyes in anguish.
"This arrest warrant isn't enough to arrest me." Tan Jingwei slowly opened his eyes, looked around at everyone in the room, and said slowly, "I will call the Taiwan authorities. You will pay the price for what happened tonight."
After finishing speaking, Tan Jingwei strode out with his head held high.
Seeing Tan Jingwei leave, Gu Quan hurriedly stood up. "Jingwei..."
Tan Jingwei ignored his words and strode towards the door, but stopped abruptly as he approached the door.
Song Tianyao stood in front of the door, staring at Tan Jingwei with a half-smile, "I've said it before, my fate is in my own hands."
Tan Jingwei's previously gloomy face suddenly broke into a smile, but his voice was icy and chilling. "This time I failed to assess the situation, but next time..."
"There won't be a next time." Song Tianyao raised his voice a few decibels before Tan Jingwei could finish speaking, glancing at Gu Quan intentionally or unintentionally. "Gu Linshan used her net worth to drive down the stock market, but she forgot that I have a friend surnamed Lu. My friend used her bank as collateral to raise a sum of money from investors in Malaya that even I envy. Just a few hours ago, she had already forced Gu Linshan to secretly embezzle funds from Wing On Bank."
Gu Quan had been a guest at the Xu Family all night. Upon hearing this news, he was so shocked that he stood up abruptly and glared angrily at Xu Pingsheng.
If what Song Tianyao said was true, then Xu Pingsheng's invitation to the banquet tonight clearly meant that he had been tricked as well. Gu Quan was almost certain that his family members must have already come to deliver the message outside the Xu Family's gate, but they had all been stopped by Xu Pingsheng.
Without their own orders, the Gu family dared not make decisions on their own and could only be forced to retreat step by step by Song Tianyao's people in the stock market.
"Brother Sheng, you're really something!" Gu Quan didn't care about Tan Jingwei at this moment. Saving the stock was like putting out a fire. If he didn't go back soon, the Gu family would lose more than just money.
As Gu Quan left, Tan Jingwei's eyes dimmed again. He took a deep breath, pursed his lips, pointed at Song Tianyao with his finger, and ultimately couldn't say a word.
"By the way, I have a Foreign Girl's from the West. She registered a shipping company in the Britain, and last month she got all the proper permits in Japan." Song Tianyao leaned close to Tan Jingwei and whispered with a smile in his ear, "Her ship quietly arrived in Hong Kong last night. The engine you wanted is being loaded onto the ship at Kwai Chung Pier. It's leaving in two hours. If you dare, blow it up again!"
