Chapter 174 Lei Luo's Desolation
Chapter 174 Lei Luo's Desolation
After a moment of silence.
Lei Luo said:
"What do you think now? Do you want to come with me?
I don’t think the Hong Kong government is kidding this time.”
Zhuyouzai and Bai Yuechang were also watching them.
They have known each other for decades, and Zhuyouzai also hopes that they can go together, at least to support each other in the future.
But Lei Luo was disappointed.
Four-eyed Kun and Fatty Sen still hold on to a lucky mentality and are reluctant to give up the status and power they have worked hard for many years to gain.
They all thought the ICAC was just a minor issue.
After all, now the entire police force, except for Li Shaoan’s team, even the Chief of Police Xue Jifu is corrupt.
It is impossible for MacLehose to carry out a major purge in the police force.
Instead, the two of them thought that Xue Jifu and Yan Tong were the biggest threats.
Together with Lei Luo, they tampered with the fees, allowing Xue Jifu and his team to collect much less money.
So the two of them thought that as long as they retreated a part of the way, Xue Jifu would protect them.
So in response to Lei Luo's questions, they continued to remain silent.
Seeing this, Lei Luo sighed in his heart and stopped advising them.
After all, it is still unclear whether I can escape.
After they drank a few more cups of tea, the two of them said goodbye.
Lei Luo did not try to persuade them to stay and asked Bai Yuechang to send Siyan Kun and Fatty Sen out.
After Bai Yuechang came back, Lei Luo asked her to rest first and took Zhu Youzai to the study.
As soon as he sat down, Lei Luo asked:
"Lard, I asked you to transfer the funds to Canada, how is it going now?"
Zhuyouzi looked a little unhappy, and said bitterly:
"Luo Ge, we may have been under surveillance.
When I was transferring money at HSBC today, I noticed that there were several people following the bank staff to supervise the transfer.
As for those who were carrying cash, they did not even have the chance to leave the country and were taken away by the ICAC.
As for the real estate properties such as land, restaurants, nightclubs, and tenement buildings, we have put them on the market for nearly a month but no one has come to inquire about them.”
Lei Luo smiled bitterly:
"it is as expected.
It seems that I, Lei Luo, will not be able to escape this time."
Zhuyouzai also looked worried. If Lei Luo couldn't escape, then he, Zhuyouzai, would not be able to escape either.
Almost everyone in Hong Kong knows that Zhuyouzai is Lei Luo's butler.
Zhuyouzi hesitated for a moment, but finally said:
"Brother Luo, why don't we go and ask Mr. Li to help ask Ji Da to let us go.
Everyone knows that Mr. Li has a close relationship with Mr. Murray MacLehose. "
Lei Luo sighed:
"You also know that Li Shaoan has a close relationship with Murray MacLehose. How do you know if he was behind this anti-corruption storm?
Even if he didn't do the pushing.
But he is a man who is sitting on the Diaoyutai, so why would he take the initiative to enter this quagmire?
You know, he didn't charge any fees at all.
Those who collected fees before were also sent to Stanley by Davidson and Wong Bing-yao in the past six months.
Now his team is the most honest and pure, even the ICAC will not investigate them.
Our relationship with him is not that deep, so there is no way he would stand up for us."
Zhuyouzi, on the other hand, said with some confidence:
"That may not be the case, Luo Ge."
After Zhuyouzai said this, Lei Luo immediately came to his senses and asked him to explain.
Zhuyouzi continued:
“Although Mr. Li is not in the same group with us.
But for so long, there has been nothing but gang conflict down below.
In the white road, he has never taken the initiative to have a conflict with us."
Lei Luo nodded upon hearing this.
On the white road.
Apart from purging his former subordinates, there was indeed no conflict between him and Lei Luo.
And there is nothing he can do about the purge of his subordinates, after all, those people are now under Li Shaoan's jurisdiction.
A new emperor has new ministers. Lei Luo has no right to interfere in how he does things.
Lei Luo thought so, and it can only be said that he was desperate and was trying every possible means.
When Zhuyouzai saw that Lei Luo agreed with what he said, his confidence increased greatly.
So he continued:
“Since Mr. Li took office, we have always cooperated with him.
Including Davidson and Wong Bing-yiu who carried out a large-scale purge that led many of us to enter Stanley, we did not do anything to interfere.
So I think Mr. Li will remember our good points to some extent.
As long as we are willing to pay the price, I think Mr. Li will come forward to help us."
Lei Luo was shocked when he heard this. He thought what Zhuyouzai said made a lot of sense.
But he had a headache about what the specific price would be.
After all, Li Shaoan has everything he needs, and he has much more money than Lei Luo.
So he didn't know what to give.
After thinking about it, it was better to ask in person, so Lei Luo said to Zhuyouzi:
"Try to get Mr. Li out so I can talk to him in detail."
Zhuyouzi laughed and said:
"Don't worry, Luo Ge, I have a goddaughter who is Mr. Li's maintenance worker.
It's still easy to make an appointment with Mr. Li through her."
Lei Luo nodded. He knew that the person Zhuyouzai was talking about was Da Boxia.
Lei Luo, feeling a little better, handed a cigarette to Zhuyouzai and said with a smile:
“Then you can ask Axia to ask Mr. Li when he is free.
Of course I hope this time is as early as possible.
So be generous and give her some expensive jewelry.
Women like these things.”
After Zhuyouzai helped Lei Luo light the cigarette, he also lit one for himself.
Then he laughed:
"I understand, Luo Ge."
Then he mentioned Four Eyes Kun and Fatty Sen and asked:
"Brother Luo, Brother Kun and the others won't leave?"
Lei Luo sighed and shook his head:
"I have told them many times, but unfortunately they underestimate England and MacLehose."
Lei Luo took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled and continued:
“The anti-corruption department used to be willing to take our money.
What is ICAC today?
He takes orders directly from the Queen, and I guess there will be no room for negotiation in the future.
But now, let alone them, it is still unknown whether we can escape."
Lei Luo thought about it again.
After all, they have been with me for so long, so I should take them with me if I have the chance.
“Go talk to them later.
If they are willing to leave, then mention their names to Mr. Li."
Zhuyouzai nodded silently.
I never thought that the once glorious empire of money has come to this point today.
When he thought of this, Zhuyouzai felt very melancholy.
After drinking tea with Lei Luo for a while, Zhuyouzai took his leave.
After everyone left, Bai Yuechang and A Xia walked into Lei Luo's study.
They felt a little distressed to see the man who was once full of vigor and vitality become so lonely.
Axia came to him, massaged his shoulders and comforted him:
"Brother Luo, if you really can't leave, I will wait for you to come out."
Lei Luo patted Axia's hand and said with a smile:
"It's fine.
You two, Chang, can continue singing and dancing.
I’ll get it done.”
Axia had not enjoyed the happiness with him for a few days before she had to face the current situation.
If she couldn't escape, Bai Yuechang didn't know whether she would be charged as well.
Thinking of this, Lei Luo felt very uncomfortable.
He made up his mind.
No matter how great the price, he would never let his two women suffer.
