Chapter 1255 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

As Watson's closest confidant, he was fully aware of everything that had happened that night.

If things fail, not only Watson, but also his confidants will be implicated. Being dismissed from their posts would be the best-case scenario; otherwise, they might face imprisonment.

At this moment, someone was still nagging and complaining in front of him, which made Chen Yongren, who was usually calm and composed, unable to hold back.

The stunned foreigner, feeling the cold ground and the pain from being crushed, couldn't help but scream.

"Ah...stop, stop!"

But Chen Yongren didn't stop. Instead, he crushed the foreigner even harder. After a few crushes, feeling dissatisfied, he kicked the foreigner lying on the ground.

"Complain, and you're going to sue us? Go ahead and sue us, you son of a bitch, go ahead and sue us!"

The foreigner's screams weakened as he was beaten. Seeing this, Stephen Chow quickly stepped forward and pulled Chan Wing-yan back: "Alright, Chan Sir, we need to hurry, it's almost dawn."

Chen Yongren stopped what he was doing, let out a long breath, turned to the foreigners and shouted, "Who else wants to complain or sue us?"

The Swiss bankers all shrank back, not daring to speak, mainly because Chen Yongren's actions had truly shocked them.

Seeing that the foreigners remained silent, Chen Yongren muttered disdainfully, "Damn, they're so cheap!" Then he shouted, "I've gathered everyone here tonight because there's something I need your cooperation on."

"Who is in charge of the bank's safe deposit boxes? We need to open one of them."

Upon hearing this, most of them were already cursing inwardly. Why make such a big deal out of opening a safe and gathering everyone together?

Feeling the gazes of his colleagues, one of the foreigners gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said, "Sir, I'm in charge of the safe, but it requires the owner's fingerprint and password."

He didn't even dare to say that his personal presence was required. Besides, he had no choice but to step forward because he knew that if he didn't, someone else would step forward for him, and then who knows what would happen.

Judging from the previous situation, the officer who came tonight is not in a good mood, so you'd better take the initiative to step forward!

Chen Yongren nodded and smiled at Zhou Xingxing, who immediately understood. He waved, and the Flying Tigers members led Zeng Xiangrong out of the car.

"This is the person who is going to open the safe. He has the fingerprints and the password, and he is the person himself."

The foreigner nodded quickly: "Yes, sir, I'll take him in right away." Then he shouted to another foreigner: "Joseph, hurry up and open the door."

Not long after, Chen Yongren and Zhou Xingxing brought Zeng Xiangrong to his safe.

After fingerprint verification and password entry, the safe was successfully opened with a "beep".

Chen Yongren pushed Zeng Xiangrong aside and stepped forward to open the safe. He was stunned for a moment because the safe was filled with gold, and the dazzling light was almost blinding.

On the top layer, there were also some documents.

Chen Yongren ignored the gold and instead took the documents, discovering a hard drive inside the document bag.

Zeng Xiangrong explained from the side, "This hard drive contains the evidence you need, and those documents are also evidence. This is a backup plan I prepared for myself, but I didn't expect..."

Chen Yongren said to the foreigners next to him, "Go and turn on your computers, I need to check some data."

"Yes, sir, please follow me!" The foreigner immediately led everyone to the computer to check the data.

After reviewing the evidence, a look of joy finally appeared on Chen Yongren's face. With this evidence, Li Yonglian would have no way to escape.

At this moment, Zeng Xiangrong's entire demeanor and spirit changed, and he seemed to have aged several years.

Because he knew very well that after handing over the evidence, he was like a fish on a chopping board; whether he was killed or scraped depended on the will of Watson and the others.

At 5:30 a.m., Chen Yongren returned to the police station.

“Wah Sir, this is the information Zeng Xiangrong has. I have verified it, and there are no problems. It is sufficient to convict Li Yonglian.”

Watson looked at the documents and hard drive in his hand and smiled with satisfaction: "Ah Ren, well done."

“Li Yonglian is finished this time, but the more evidence we have, the better. Zeng Xiangrong is no longer useful, so we can focus our attention on Qu Haolin and his group. If they’re not stupid, they must have something on them too.”

“I don’t believe that someone who can become a member of the Legislative Council has no political wisdom at all. Now, let’s take this opportunity to use the evidence in Tsang Heung-wing’s hands to pry them open.”

“I know these people’s thoughts very well. If no one speaks up, they will definitely stick to their guns. But if someone hands over the evidence, the rest of them will definitely rush to do the same and try to get leniency.”

As he spoke, Watson was extremely disdainful; the faces of these politicians were truly disgusting.

Chen Yongren said excitedly, "Yes, I'll go continue the interrogation right away." After saying that, he left with the relevant evidence without hesitation.

"Qu Haolin, listen to what this is..."

......

"I said!"

Qu Haolin slumped weakly onto the interrogation chair, knowing in his heart that it was all over.

Similarly, there are also Supreme Court justices, Legislative Council members, and so on.

Meanwhile, Watson received a phone call from senior barrister and legislator, Jane Austen.

"Sorry to bother you so late, Mr. Wah."

"Attorney Jian, just say what's on your mind. There's no need for us to beat around the bush."

“Alright, then I’ll get straight to the point!” Jian Aowei paused, then said, “Did you arrest the Secretary for Justice, Lai Wing-lim? His family called me and asked for my help, so I came to ask.”

Hua Sheng said without hesitation, "Yes, we did arrest Li Yonglian. In addition, we also arrested Zeng Xiangrong, the deputy director of management, Qu Haolin, the chief judge... All of these people have been arrested, and we have sufficient evidence. After dawn, we will prosecute these people."

"..." Jian Aowei hadn't expected things to turn out this way. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Wah Sir, won't this cause a major upheaval? After all, the Chief Secretary for Administration was arrested not long ago, and now the Secretary for Justice is going to be arrested as well."

Instead of answering directly, Hua Sheng asked, "Attorney Jian, you have a patient with two tumors. One was recently removed, but there's still one left. Although removing it now is risky, if we delay, the tumor might rupture, posing a life-threatening risk. What do you think is the best course of action?"
