Jingzhou Huilong Hotel.
In the corridor, Huang Wusheng struggled desperately and shouted.
He never expected that the waiter would say someone was looking for him outside.
As soon as he stepped out the door, he was immediately apprehended, pinned down, and handcuffed.
Caught off guard and not particularly strong, he was easily handcuffed.
By the time he realized what was happening, a police officer had already pulled out an arrest warrant and practically shoved it in his face.
He was accused of multiple crimes, with a long list of charges, and he was to be arrested according to the law…
Who is Huang Wusheng?
He's the boss of Luzhou Haitian Group!
An outstanding private entrepreneur in Luzhou City with a net worth of billions!
His brother, Huang Wucheng, is the deputy secretary and mayor of Luzhou City!
They were arrogant and domineering in Luzhou City for so many years.
How could he easily give in and be taken away obediently?
So when he came to his senses, he immediately glared angrily and questioned loudly.
First, they suspected the other party was a fake police officer and insisted on seeing their identification.
He then questioned whether the arrest warrant was fake and insisted that he see the issuing authority that stamped it.
Finally, he questioned the other party about their authority to arrest him, pointing out that he was a people's representative of Luzhou City.
According to relevant regulations, the arrest of Huang Wusheng requires the approval of the Luzhou People's Congress.
Unexpectedly, the resolution had already been passed in Luzhou, and a fax was sent just one minute before the arrest.
This way.
Arresting Huang Wusheng was naturally legal, compliant, and in accordance with procedures.
These three consecutive blows left him feeling as if he had fallen into an abyss, his whole body paralyzed.
He was well aware of what he had done.
If he himself could be arrested, it means that his elder brother must also be in trouble. Revealing his elder brother Huang Wucheng's identity will not only be of no use, but will also bring trouble upon himself.
Knowing that once taken away, given the numerous heinous crimes he had committed, none of them would be easily forgiven, he would at least face life imprisonment, or worse, the death penalty.
So he decided to fight to the death, shouting and struggling fiercely.
It's like a fat pig being dragged out of its pen in the countryside, about to be slaughtered for the New Year.
It struggled frantically and screamed loudly.
Such a commotion naturally attracted many people to come out and watch the excitement.
Gao Qiqiang, who thought something major had happened, was the first to come out.
His parents died early, and at a young age he set up a fish stall at the Jiuchang Street market to earn money to support his younger brother and sister.
Because of the help he receives from his neighbors on a regular basis.
So he also became a warm-hearted person.
If anything happens on Old Factory Street, he will rush to the scene quickly to find out what's going on and help if he can.
Today is Zhao Ruilong's birthday.
This young master from Handong had long been the two brothers' most important business partner.
Something happened at Zhao Ruilong's birthday dinner.
As if by natural reflex, Gao Qiqiang quickly came out to see what was going on.
With the eldest brother Gao Qiqiang already getting up and leaving, Gao Qisheng, as the younger brother, naturally couldn't stay idle either.
He quickly followed.
The third person to come out was Gao Mingyuan, who came from Luteng City, Zhongjiang Province.
Being shrewd and cunning, he naturally wanted to know what was going on.
This is Young Master Zhao's birthday banquet!
Moreover, the banquet was held at the Huilong Hotel.
The businesses under Huilong Group are definitely Zhao family territory!
Who has the audacity to come here today and arrest Young Master Zhao's guest?
Three people with the surname Gao came out one after another.
Other guests who heard the commotion naturally left their seats as well.
For thousands of years, a strong sense of curiosity and a love of excitement seem to have been ingrained in the genes of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
Seeing Huang Wusheng, who was just moments ago clinking glasses and chatting happily with me.
A man from Luzhou, a rather prominent and wealthy figure, was about to be arrested and taken away.
This naturally shocked and stunned many people.
With more people around, Huang Wusheng naturally shouted even louder.
It seems they wanted to evoke sympathy from the crowd, or even get help from them.
However, several police officers were in uniform and holding documents and identification.
It's obvious that everything was legal and compliant before they arrested Huang Wusheng.
Everyone was dumbfounded and dared not step forward to help.
Moreover, none of the people present were familiar with Huang Wusheng.
Like the Gao brothers, they both came from other provinces.
Today was the first time I met Huang Wusheng, and we only chatted briefly at the dinner party.
Given this relationship... how could they possibly offer any help?
Moreover, most of them are business people.
Who has the resources to help a criminal suspect arrested by the police in Jingzhou?
It was clear that no one was willing to speak up for them.
Two police officers then forcibly took him away, one on each side.
Huang Wusheng was naturally anxious.
"Mr. Zhao!"
"President Zhao!!"
"Mr. Zhao, please save me! Mr. Zhao!"
Huang Wusheng shouted and screamed, his voice filled with misery, as if he were even more wronged than Dou E.
His tearful shouts quickly alerted the highly intelligent Gao Qisheng.
"To be arrested on Boss Zhao's turf and still cry for Boss Zhao to save him, is he stupid?"
"Anyone with a brain would know that they dared to come here to arrest people only because they had Mr. Zhao's prior approval!"
Thinking of this, Gao Qisheng narrowed his eyes slightly.
It suddenly occurred to him.
Could Huang Wusheng's arrest here be a setup deliberately set by Zhao Ruilong?
It's possible they deliberately invited him from Luzhou to the birthday banquet so that it would be easier to arrest him!
otherwise.
If it weren't for Zhao Ruilong setting a trap to arrest Huang Wusheng...
Who has the nerve to come to the Huilong Hotel in Jingzhou to arrest someone?
Such blatant disrespect for the Crown Prince of Handong—is he truly tired of living?
Gao Qisheng felt more and more uneasy.
If it's just for the purpose of capturing Huang Wusheng.
Why not arrest them earlier or later, but only when the banquet was about to end?
If you don't want to alarm the guests and cause too much of a commotion, you can simply wait until after the banquet to arrest them.
Whether it's arresting someone in Huang Wusheng's room or waiting until he leaves the hotel to return to Luzhou, it's all the same.
The commotion they caused was obviously much smaller than it is now.
Why did all the guests end up crowding into the corridor to watch?
and so……
"there is only one truth!"
"All of this was deliberately arranged by President Zhao!"
"He deliberately invited Huang Wusheng to the banquet, and then intentionally arrested him here!"
"This will not only prevent Huang Wusheng from tipping off others and fleeing to avoid punishment, but also serve as a warning to others!"
"Let everyone know that even though Huang Wusheng is rich, powerful, and has a powerful background, and even has an older brother who is the mayor, he is nothing more than a nobody that Zhao Ruilong can easily take down."
"As long as his father, Zhao Lichun, remains the top leader of Handong, Zhao Ruilong is the unshakeable crown prince of Handong. Anyone he wants to deal with won't require much effort at all!"
Gao Qisheng had just thought of this.
Everyone quickly made way for them.
Zhao Ruilong and Lu Yike walked out unhurriedly.
"Mr. Zhao!"
"Mr. Zhao, you've finally come out!"
"Help me! Please help me!"
"We're business partners!"
"I sell MP3 players for you and help you with the civil engineering work. We've had a very pleasant working relationship!"
"There are so many large-scale projects in Luzhou, we can continue our long-term cooperation!"
"Mr. Zhao, say something! Tell them to release me. Your father is the top official in Handong. They'll definitely listen to you!"
"Mr. Zhao, please have pity on me. I really can't be taken away. If I go in, who will work for you in Luzhou?"
……
Huang Wusheng was held down by one person on each side.
Seeing Zhao Ruilong was like seeing a lifeline.
They no longer cared about saving face, and like stray dogs, they pleaded and begged for help.
But what's interesting is...
Huang Wusheng never uttered a single cry of 'injustice' throughout the entire ordeal.
He was afraid of crying out that he was innocent, but the police immediately produced evidence and refuted him on the spot.
Wouldn't that leave Zhao Ruilong powerless to help even if he wanted to?
So no matter how much he shouted, he was only reminding Zhao Ruilong that he had value and was worth saving.
It seems that without Huang Wusheng and Zhao Ruilong, Luzhou City would not be able to implement and complete its numerous investment projects smoothly.
But under everyone's gaze, Zhao Ruilong did not respond to Huang Wusheng.
"Which organization are you from? Could you show me your credentials?"
“We are from the Provincial Criminal Investigation Department, and these are our credentials.”
After taking a quick look, Zhao Ruilong handed it to Lu Yike.
Lu Yike frowned slightly, trying her best not to burst out laughing.
Now is the time to showcase your acting skills.
If you laugh, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?
Although tonight's 'Feast at Hongmen' is obvious to any intelligent person.
But we still have to put on a show.
Everything was Huang Wusheng's own fault, and he brought it upon himself.
How can we blame Zhao Ruilong for using a diversionary tactic to help his uncle Gao Yuliang stir up trouble in Luzhou?
Zhao Ruilong took a step forward and calmly looked at the flustered Huang Wusheng.
He couldn't help but think to himself.
Damn it, no matter how rich or powerful a person is, they are still just a mortal after all!
Once you know disaster is imminent, all your composure, shrewdness, and cunning become meaningless.
Subconscious fear and panic can involuntarily take over the entire brain.
Those who can remain calm and composed even when faced with imminent disaster.
There are many examples in movies and TV dramas of people enduring torture without backing down, but such people are extremely rare in reality.
Just like many people who, before being arrested, act arrogantly, aggressively, and even become deranged and insane.
But as soon as the handcuffs were put on and he was sitting on the cold bench in the interrogation room, he immediately became incredibly cowardly, bursting into tears of regret.
And Huang Wusheng...
Relying on his elder brother's power, he has amassed wealth and indulged in extravagant pleasures for many years.
He had long since become a fat, gluttonous, and vulgar man.
Where is even a trace of his former tough and resolute character?
He is even less likely to be a desperate fugitive who doesn't care about life and death.
Him at this moment.
His face and eyes were filled with fear and dread.
It seemed they weren't being taken for interrogation, but rather to be taken away and executed.
"It's alright, Chairman Huang. They're just taking you for an investigation. Just go with them without worry."
"But……"
Huang Wusheng had a long face.
I really want to say that an arrest warrant has already been issued, so how could he be there to cooperate with an investigation?
Anyone with a basic understanding of the law knows this.
If it were a real investigation and questioning, why would they start by putting handcuffs on you? And how could they possibly still be handcuffed?
"It's alright. Cooperating with the police investigation is every citizen's duty. If you don't dare to go, wouldn't that just prove you have a guilty conscience?"
"I……"
Huang Wusheng looked distressed.
He almost blurted out that he was just feeling guilty!
Over the years, he has done countless heinous things and amassed a great deal of ill-gotten wealth.
He himself was perfectly aware of it.
The business from just the Haitian Nightclub alone is enough to make him very rich.
So he knew that once he was arrested, any one of the crimes he was charged with could be enough to keep him in jail for many years.
"Don't be afraid, as long as you cooperate with the investigation, they won't make things difficult for you!"
"Have you forgotten? Our Handong Province is now vigorously promoting the rule of law. They will definitely enforce the law impartially and will absolutely not wrong you!"
As he spoke, Zhao Ruilong looked at the police officer next to him.
"Chairman Huang is, after all, a well-known entrepreneur in our Handong."
"Even if you are legally detaining him, you don't need to be this rough, do you?"
"Quickly unlock his handcuffs. Chairman Huang will go with you; he won't run away!"
The police officer immediately took out a key and unlocked Huang Wusheng's handcuffs.
Without the handcuffs, Huang Wusheng felt much more relaxed.
Moreover, not wearing handcuffs makes it less humiliating and makes me feel much better.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao! Thank you!"
Huang Wusheng was moved to tears, bowing and scraping.
"No need to thank me. Just go with them. They're just following orders, so don't make things difficult for them."
Patting Huang Wusheng on the shoulder, Zhao Ruilong gestured forward with his lip.
Huang Wusheng gritted his teeth and thought it over and over.
There's no way to escape.
I've already said enough pleading.
The only hope now is that this storm will be all bark and no bite for the Huang family.
It's just a formality, a token gesture.
"Okay, I'll go with them. After I get out, I have a lot of business to discuss with you..."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you. Go quickly! Try to come back as soon as possible!"
Zhao Ruilong smiled and saw him off.
Huang Wusheng nodded slightly.
Then he looked around at the people around him.
"I'm sorry, there was a small misunderstanding. Please excuse me."
"How about I treat everyone to a nice meal in Luzhou another day?"
No one cheered loudly; they all gave slight, symbolic nods.
Everyone knows that once Huang Wusheng goes there, he won't come out so easily.
So his words are like someone you're not close to saying, "Let's have dinner sometime."
soon.
Surrounded by several police officers, Huang Wusheng walked away with heavy steps.
Although he didn't look back every few steps, he turned around several times in the short corridor of just over ten meters.
Gao Qisheng wasn't interested in looking at Huang Wusheng; he was focused on observing Zhao Ruilong.
He knew, of course, that he and his elder brother Gao Qiqiang were far inferior to the Huang brothers, Huang Wusheng and Gao Qiqiang.
Even if we had many more years, the two brothers would never have reached the same level as the Huang brothers in Jinghai.
Because of inherent limitations.
Huang Wusheng's elder brother, Huang Wucheng, is the second-in-command of Luzhou City, so his family is very powerful.
But looking back at his own two brothers...
Even opening a small mobile phone shop required asking his college classmate Cao Bin for help, and then asking Gong Kaijiang, the deputy general manager of the telecommunications company, for assistance.
In order to get ahead and escape being a fishmonger, the eldest brother knelt down and became the godfather of Chen Tai, the chairman of Jinghai Construction, and married Chen Shuting, who was already married and had children.
and so……
Compared to the Huang brothers from Luzhou, the Gao brothers are far inferior.
Even if I work myself to the bone my whole life, I might never reach the heights of the Huang brothers.
And even if you achieve that, so what?
The two brothers ruled Luzhou City for many years.
Wasn't it easily dealt with by Zhao Ruilong, the son of a top-tier noble family in Handong?
"No matter how hard my brother and I work, and how successful we become, to Zhao Ruilong, we're nothing more than nobody who's just turned their life around!"
"So being able to work with him to make money and even be invited to his birthday dinner is truly an incredible stroke of luck!"
"As long as his father, Zhao Shuji, is still in power, we two brothers must cling to his coattails and never let go!!"
Gao Qisheng secretly made up his mind.
His gaze inadvertently swept over Gao Mingyuan.
They noticed that this underworld boss from Lvteng City, Zhongjiang Province, didn't look too good.
It seems that Zhao Ruilong's move to make an example of someone has really scared him.
When Zhao Ruilong turned around, Gao Qisheng, like everyone else, quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Let's go, everyone, let's keep drinking and chatting!"
