Great Power Technology - #615 - Chapter 605 Arrest
After Chou State clearly withdrew from cooperation with the Liu family, the Liu family fell into a truly isolated and helpless situation. Their willingness to dialogue with Chinese officials became stronger, but the last chance had actually slipped away from their hands long ago.
A large number of contracts have been signed, a large amount of materials have been transported in advance, and the bank and financial system have even quietly started preparatory process actions. They can attack the Liu family immediately just waiting for an order from the General Technical Office.
And in Hong Kong City, a personnel change is quietly taking place.
All the people who were closely related to the Liu family suddenly lost their jobs – either they were temporarily arranged for other urgent work, or they applied for annual leave. The few remaining people who were still at their posts carefully began to distance themselves from the Liu family.
Of course, there are still some die-hards among these people who firmly stand with the Liu family. Either their interests are too deeply bound and they cannot escape at this time; or they are really stupid and think there is still hope for a last ditch effort.
He Hongwen is a typical representative of this kind of die-hard. In the past ten years, he has made a lot of money by relying on secret transactions with the Liu family. This money is even enough for him to buy a house in Hong Kong City, a city where land is at a premium. He has bought three so-called “thousand-foot mansions” and his children have long been sent abroad to study.
It can be said that he has no worries and just wants to do his best to make a last ditch effort for the Liu family.
If he succeeds, countless glory and wealth will be waiting for him.
If it fails…according to mainland China’s official style, he is the only one who will be liquidated.
At this age, and his children have grown up, he feels that he is actually not afraid of anything.
Therefore, he worked particularly hard during this period, planning to give the Liu family another chance before the last moment arrived.
He used all his connections to collect information, consuming resources that others regarded as their wealth and lives. In the end, he got the opportunity he wanted – a private conversation with the decision-makers.
In the room, He Hongwen stood slightly nervously in front of the mirror, while his wife helped him arrange his suit and tie.
“Husband, do you really want to go this time? We are already at this age, there is no need to fight so hard…”
“Oh, you will win only if you love to work hard! Our current family fortune is all built up by your husband and me time and time again.”
“To do big things, you have to be bold and never regret your own life. Otherwise, how can you succeed?”
After hearing his words, his wife hesitated for a moment and continued to persuade:
“But the direction of the wind is really wrong this time, isn’t it… Look at Wang Sheng and Li Sheng who were with you before. They all took sick leave. It’s obvious that they want to avoid disaster.”
“If the mainland wants to take action against the Liu family, it’s really not something you can stop.”
He Hongwen sighed and replied:
“Of course I know I can’t stop them, and I also know what Wang Sheng and Li Sheng think, but I won’t be as timid as them – and there’s no need for it.”
“Our children have been given away, and our property has been transferred to you. Even if something happens in the end, you won’t be affected.”
“But if the Liu family doesn’t fall this time, I will be the mainstay, and our treatment will be like this now.”
“It’s quite high now. It’s really ordinary…”
“Then we’ll have to wait until this time to calm down. Okay, don’t talk so much, just bring my shoes.”
His wife turned around and brought him some leather shoes. After arranging his shirt again, she said teasingly:
“Look at your belly, you are no longer young. You will retire in a few years. I really hope you retire peacefully…”
“It must be safe!”
He Hongwen smiled and continued:
“Instead of talking about this, why don’t you go cook me a bowl of noodles. This time I have an appointment with someone who only has ten minutes to go. I’ll drive back and forth for ten minutes in a while. We can talk for five minutes at most. I’ll be eating noodles when I get back.”
“By the way, aren’t there still the double-yolked eggs I picked out in the refrigerator? Add them in for me as a good idea.”
“I got it. I’ll make the noodle soup first and wait until you come back. Do you want runny eggs?”
“No, cook it thoroughly!”
He Hongwen waved his hand, turned around, opened the door and walked downstairs.
In the underground garage, a Maybach rented in advance was waiting quietly. He took a deep breath and stepped into the car.
This may be the most important meeting in his life.
He looked down at the information in his hand. The person he wanted to see in the photo was a pretty girl who didn’t look very old, but he knew that it was often this kind of person who could change the development of the entire incident from an unexpected angle. .
But even so, he still couldn’t help but be curious.
According to the contact person, although this girl works in the financial industry, her real connections are throughout the official system and can even directly influence the so-called core decision-making levels.
Ye Lan…who is she?
Before this, I had never even heard of this nameānor had I heard of this surname.
The information on public channels is also very limited, and it has obviously been specially processed.
He Hongwen shook his head and did not continue to think about it. He knew that being able to do this was his limit. If he continued to explore the identity behind this person, he would probably only bring more trouble to himself.
The car moved forward smoothly and finally stopped in the underground garage of a nearby shopping mall. He got out of the car and walked to the elevator, arriving at a teahouse in the mall that was extremely rare in Hong Kong and highly private.
According to the agreement, the person he was waiting for should arrive in five minutes, which was just the right time.
He ordered a pot of Longjing tea, which was unmistakable, and then sat blankly on the chair, quietly waiting for the other party’s arrival.
However, after a full 15 minutes, he still couldn’t find the face that he had seen countless times and had long been imprinted in his mind. Just when he started to feel anxious, a thick and strong hand was placed on his shoulder. .
“He Hongwen?”
He Hongwen raised his head in confusion. Before he could answer, the other party continued:
“Your hand is indeed stretched out long enough… Others are honest, why can’t you be honest?”
“Okay, come with us.”
He Hongwen glanced at the few followers behind the man and the documents displayed in his hand, and said with some reluctance:
“I’m just here to meet a friend, why do you arrest me?”
The man sneered and replied:
“There is no reason, but I want to tell you that the person who gives you the information about the friend you want to see will never see the light of day for the rest of his life.”
“If you want to be allocated a better cell, then I suggest you cooperate with our work from now on.”
“For the Liu family, you actually dare to touch such a thing. You are really risking your lives…”
He Hongwen looked at the other person inexplicably, as if he couldn’t understand what he was talking about, but soon he came back to his senses.
A thought flashed through his mind involuntarily:
I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat the bowl of noodles with double yolk eggs that my wife cooked.
