Although he said that he was letting Chen Canaan learn a lesson, it was impossible for Qiao Wen to really let him be locked up for a year and a half.

Back home, the first thing he did was to report Chen Canaan's honorable deed of fighting into the police station to the next door, originally today the opening of Anan Martial Arts Museum, a large family is immersed in great joy, heard the news, it was a bolt from the blue.

How can he, the head of the martial arts center, go to the police station on the first day of opening? Chen's father was just short of smoke, if not for this unlucky son is not in front of him, no less than a violent beating.

Qiao Wen didn't have time to get angry with them, and when he returned home, he immediately dialed Zhou Renjun's apartment. He was lucky that this workaholic Sir, who happened to be at home tonight, after hearing about the cause and effect, immediately said boldly that he would take care of it.

Although Sir Zhou was very righteous, Qiao Wen didn't dare to fully count on him. After all, he was a small inspector and someone else's uncle of the Chief Inspector, that would be equivalent to a section chief and a minister, with a difference of a hundred thousand miles in between.

As expected, early the next morning, he received a rather apologetic phone call from Zhou Renjun, saying that for the time being there was no way to get the person out, but explaining that the police department brothers should not make things difficult for him.

Regardless, Jovian was kind of relieved.

He again hoofed it to find a lawyer, ready to bail the person out, however, got the statement, the case is serious, no bail, see this evil capitalist society, the law is also for the money and power.

Eventually he had his lawyer call in the money and finally, on the third day, went to the detention center to meet with someone.

The parlor is a separate one, wearing a prison uniform of Chen Canaan, wearing handcuffs and leg irons under the leadership of the police, lazily walked in, saw to see him is Qiao Wen, instantly both eyes lit up: "Xiao Qiao!"

He was about to run over and have a warm hug with someone, however, with shackles under his feet and a police officer in front of him who stopped him with a baton: "Behave yourself!"

All he could do was walk honestly across the table and sit down.

Qiao Wen looked him up and down, but he didn't see any signs of suspected injuries, but he still asked worriedly, "Brother Nan, have you been bullied in there in the past two days?"

"Bullying?" Chen Canaan obviously this question was strange, "Bullied by what?"

Qiao Wen said, "I'm worried that there are all sorts of people from all three religions inside, and that you'll be dealt with by the old men inside teaming up when you first go in."

Chen Canaan came to a sudden realization and laughed, "Oh, just coming in there were a few servant streets that wanted to pick a fight, but I hadn't even made a move yet, and just by hearing me report my name, they didn't do anything else, and had to recognize me as a big brother."

Qiao Wen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this and laughed out softly, sure enough, he had made a name for himself by violently collecting debts in Kowloon New Territories before. The big name of the pretty boy South, I guess on the road mixed these minions very some deterrent.

As long as the police don't give him a hard time, who has the ability to bully Pretty Boy Nam?

Qiao Wen made sure that he didn't suffer any great pain, finally completely relieved, said, "Brother Nan, this time, the several people you beat up, their identities are not ordinary, that gweilo with a broken nose, his uncle is a member of parliament, and the most arrogant that Chinese, is the nephew of Inspector Hong. Originally, this is not a big deal, privately pay some money to settle, but they have the intention to fix you, put out the word that they want you to be locked up for a year and a half."

Chen Canaan detained these two days, although he was not beaten, but the food inside is called pig food, his mouth is greedy, while pulling out the snacks brought by Qiao Wen to chew, while wrinkling his eyebrows and fall silent.

Thinking he was scared, Qiaowen hurriedly said again, "But don't worry too much, I'll find a way to get you out."

Chen Canaan raised his head and frowned as he said word for word, "I regret it so much." Before Qiao Wen could say anything, he added, "Regretting that the hand was too light, anyway, I'm going to be locked up for so long, I might as well let those sons of bitches break a hand or a foot, otherwise it's too uneconomical."

Qiao Wen: "......" He rubbed his forehead a bit bitterly and sighed, "Brother Nan, now that we're no longer in the city fortress, not everything can be solved with our fists, especially when facing people with power and influence, and even more so when you can't just use your fists."

Chen Canaan bristled and said resentfully, "Understood, it won't happen in the future."

Qiao Wen said, "You stay inside honestly first, Zhou Sir has already greeted the police over here, they won't make things difficult for you, if you need anything you can also talk to them, I will try to find a way to get you out as soon as possible."

Chen Canaan to say regret is also really a little regret, in the city fortress is used to using fists to solve things, this time in the Star World to see this kind of bullying things, do not even think about it will step forward.

He was drunk at the time, and did not use much force, originally thought at most two days in jail, compensation for some medical expenses, came in and then realized that he was in big trouble. He is a club originated from the gangster, for sitting in jail actually nothing to be afraid of, is only to feel locked in the inside boredom. However, at this moment, when he saw Qiao Wen worrying about himself, his heart began to feel guilty, and he could only pretend to be full of concern so that he could rest assured: "It's okay, half a year in jail is half a year, and when I get out, I will think of a way to settle the score with those sons of bitches."

Qiao Wen said, "I'm not going to let you stay in there for six months." He didn't know what kind of life he was living inside? Even if no one dared to punch or kick him, but with poor food and sleep, life had only gotten better for a few months, so how could he be allowed to live like this for half a year?

The two men made a few more small talk before the police urged visiting hours to arrive and had to bid a reluctant goodbye.

Qiao Wen didn't dare to delay and immediately asked Zhou Renjun to help ask Peter Wang out.

Hong Kong City is only so big, most of these rich young people know. Although Zhou Renjun is only an inspector, but his family history is here, Peter Wang also had to give face.

The place where they met was a western restaurant, Peter Wang was wearing a white suit, his feet stepped on a pair of white leather shoes, his hair was combed shiny, just sat down, he touched a silver cigar box from his chest pocket, pulled out a coffee-colored cigar from it and held it in his mouth, slowly lit it, then leaned on the back of the chair, arrogantly looked askance at Qiaowen, and then looked across to Zhou Renshun, dangling and said: "Zhou Shao, usually when our group of people ask you out for a drink, we can never get an appointment, today the sun comes out from the west, it's rare that you take the initiative to ask me out."

Zhou Renjun said impatiently, "Don't give me crap, you know what I'm looking for you for."

Peter Wang pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Young Zhou, I can look at your face and ignore this matter you mentioned, but Young Master Vincent had his nose broken and let slip that he would lock up that servant street boy for a year and a half. As you know, Young Master Vincent's uncle is a councilor, and he encountered this kind of thing on his first vacation to Hong Kong City, how could he be let off so easily?"

Zhou Renjun said, "The court can't sentence you for half a year for that little injury, so you guys hurry up and accept the mediation and release the person."

Peter Wang revealed an impish smile, "The court can't sentence him for half a year, but we have ways to make this case go back to court in half a year, so that he stays in the detention center for these half a year."

Zhou Renjun is a violent temper, and when he heard these shameless words, he immediately became furious: "Don't think I don't know what happened? Let me tell you, if I were you, I would also beat you up. Also, Peter Wang, I advise you to be honest, the Independent Commission Against Corruption will soon be established. How much black money your uncle has received over the years, he knows best, who knows how many more years he will be able to sit on his throne, I advise you not to cause trouble for him."

Peter Wang shrugged uncaringly, "Who in the city doesn't know about the relationship between the police and the Triad for so many years? If my uncle could really get into trouble, more than half of your entire police force would have to fall, and the entire society would be in chaos. I'm afraid the Governor of Hong Kong won't move a Chief Inspector so easily."

Qiao Wen listened to his words, slightly frowned, recalled the content of the original book, this Chief Inspector Hong was originally the umbrella of the villain Chen Canaan, after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, it is true that not more than two years later, he collapsed and fled to Taiwan, but because this person in the book is not important, and did not happen in the struggle between the positive and negative factions in the fight for a great role, only sideways mentioned a few times.

Nowadays, the world is completely different, not only is Inspector Hong no longer an umbrella, but he is also the culprit who made him possibly locked up for a year and a half, and it is also true that the world is unpredictable.

In any case, nowadays, Inspector Hua's power is so overwhelming that he really can't afford to be offended.

When Zhou Renjun heard this from Peter Wang, he became more and more angry and spewed out, but in a rare moment, he held back and took a deep breath and said, "Alright, Peter Wang, what do you need to do, before you let my friend go?"

Peter Wang glanced toward Qiao Wen and said, "Zhou Shao, I have said that I can look at your face and not take it into account, but young master Wensen's attitude is very resolute, of course ...... it is not impossible to reconcile." He stretched out a palm, "A price of five hundred thousand dollars."

Zhou Renjun's big hand slapped hard on the desktop, making a loud thud, and said angrily, "Half a million dollars? Peter Wang, why don't you go and rob it?"

Peter Wang was startled by his anger and hurriedly said, "I've already said that this is Young Master Vincent's request, it's useless for you to be mean to me!"

"Is that gweilo nose made of diamonds? It costs half a million dollars?"

Qiao Wen silently watched these two people go back and forth, his heart was clear. That broken nose Vincent, is just a Briton who came to Hong Kong City on vacation with a tourist visa, even if his uncle is a member of parliament, it is obviously unlikely to let the police lock someone up for half a year for no apparent reason, so the problem still lies in this Peter Wang.

Hong Kong City, there is a group of such a broad young man, from a high family, have status and position, but do not engage in production, and therefore does not have a throw money of wealth, but also used to compare, living a luxurious life, so always think of this and that to make money, such as before cheating Guan Zhenbao there are a lot of these people.

And Peter Wang is clearly such a broad.

Zhou Renjun was still about to open fire at Peter Wang, when Qiao Wen reached out to stop him and said nonchalantly, "Young Zhou, since money can be a solution, it's not too bad, I'll try to find a way to raise money in the next few days."

Peter Wang looked at him and held out two more fingers, "Two days, Young Master Vince will only give you two days, if you don't see the money, the settlement is off the table."

Qiao Wen frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and said, "Young Wang, half a million dollars is not a small amount, even if I'm willing to sell my building to raise this money, it's impossible for two days."

Peter Wang laughed, "I heard that Mr. Qiao opened a real estate company, there is a piece of land in the mid-levels near Clearwater Bay in his hands, I happen to have a friend who is very interested in that piece of land, if you are willing to sell it, I will immediately arrange for you to sign a contract and pay for it, and it can be done in a day."

Qiao Wen secretly laughed, it turned out to be someone who had a fancy for the piece of Feng Shui land in Da Guan Zhen Bao that was not a piece of shit. It seems that the half a million dollar settlement fee is only a game made for this piece of land, along with the water.

His long, white fingers gently tapped the desktop and said, "Well, I'll go back and think about it."

Peter Wang grinned and pressed half of the cigar out in the ashtray, "Then you have to think about it quickly, if two days pass, even if you agree, there's no way for me to convince Young Master Vincent."

Jovian smiled back and nodded, "I understand."

Peter Wang was satisfied and left, leaving the two men to continue sitting at the table.

Zhou Renjun is a police officer bent on fighting against evil forces, completely ignorant of these curves in the business world, and only after a long time did he ask hesitantly, "When he said that the land, is it a deliberate extortion?"

Jovian nodded, "I suppose so."

Zhou Renjun cursed a foul mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "This son of a bitch, I have to pack him a meal back." He also patted his shoulder, "Isn't it just half a million dollars? How much are you still short?"

Jovan: "...... is just shy of 400,000 dollars, right?"

Zhou Renjun: "...... It's fine, I'll put it together with Fai, it should be enough."

Qiao Wen smiled, "Zhou Sir, thank you, I'll think of something myself first."

Zhou Renjun frowned, "What can you do? The money is certainly not for nothing, get the people out first and then slowly settle the score with them."

Qiao Wen, however, inexplicably changed his words, "You were just right, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is about to be established, and the officials in high positions are all very low-key and cautious nowadays. For Peter Wang to do this is nothing more than putting Inspector Hong on the fire."

Cho In Joon looked at him uncertainly, "???"

Qiao Wen smiled and patted his shoulder, pulling out two bills and placing them on the table, "Zhou Sir, I have to go beforehand, so eat slowly alone."

"Not ......" Zhou Renjun reached out, "I'd better help you raise money first."

Half a million dollars is indeed not a small amount, but the feeling of being ridden on the head and bullied is very bad, not to mention the sale of land, is that these rich friends to help themselves to raise money, Qiao Wen is not willing to be so cheap to those sons of bitches.

It just had to be hard for Chen Canaan to stay inside for a few more days, luckily he had a thick skin.

He first called Zhang Jiaming, told him about this, and asked him to help investigate the details of Peter Wang and Vincent. When Zhang Jiaming heard about this, he said angrily, "These devils are spreading their wildness in our Chinese territory every day, we have become second class citizens, don't worry, I'll follow up on this matter."

Zhang Jiaming's newspaper is considered to be a lace tabloid, but because it is very good at eyeballs, and is known for its boldness in writing, the circulation is very good. Zhang Jiaming as a reporter and editor and half boss, business is very extensive, star gossip, luxury secret, political scandal, there is no he can not investigate the report can not, the industry is commonly known as a pundit, called the CIA leakage talent.

This is also why the previous investigation into the low-profile and downtrodden broad-minded young man Guan Zhenbao, even the person slept with a few women are investigated clearly.

After discussing with Zhang Jia Ming, Qiao Wen went to Star World to look for the previous waiter. He found out that the waiter had been fired by his boss because of the big incident, but his kind coworkers told him where the waiter lived.

The waiter's house was in Tin Shui Wai, because he also went with him to the police station to record his statement that day, naturally he still remembered Qiao Wen, when he saw the person at the door, guilt immediately surfaced on his face, "I heard that your friend might have to be locked up for a long time, I'm really sorry, it's because I'm the one who dragged him into this. I want to help him, even if I go to jail in his place."

The waiter was young, must have been under twenty, a marked-looking young man.

"It's not your fault, it's my friend who's too impulsive." Qiaowen said, standing in the foyer again without moving to take a look at the humble house, and asked, "Are you alone in your house?"

The waiter said, "I'm staying with my grandparents, they're not home at the moment. You'll be in soon."

Qiao Wen walked into the house and sat down on the stale on the sofa, the room was cramped, but cleaned up neatly, it was evident that the family, although poor, was in love with life.

The waiter poured him a cup of hot tea and said, "My name is Tang Xingwei, just call me Wei."

Qiao Wen took the tea and said, "My name is Qiao Wen, you can call me Wen."

As he said this, he glanced at the tiny room again, and found a standing cabinet with a surprising number of books, Tang Xingwei sensed his line of sight, and spoke a little blushingly, "I came out to work at a very early age, but I like to read, so I had to buy my own books to read."

Qiao Wen sighed silently, and instantly felt that Chen Canaan's goods that made him scream headache after reading two pages of a book deserved to spend two more days in jail.

He took a sip of tea and put down the teacup, "It's like this, I did find you here today for Nan, my friend who is locked up in the detention center."

Tang Xingwei said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Qiao Wen said, "Peter Wang, that nephew of Inspector Hong, has put out the word that he will lock Nan up for a year and a half unless we give half a million dollars to settle the case."

"What?" Tang Xingwei was shocked, as half a million dollars was already an astronomical figure for him.

In order for him not to have a mental burden, Qiao Wen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't you worry, half a million dollars we can actually take out, it's just that I don't want to be subjected to this kind of anger."

Tang Xingwei was obviously frightened by half a million dollars, muttering half a million dollars under his breath, and at a glance, he didn't listen to his words, and after reading for a while, he suddenly cried out again, "If I had held back my anger and licked someone's shoes, this wouldn't have happened."

"Wai!" Jovian frowned and bellowed softly.

Tang Xingwei looked at him with red eyes.

Qiao Wen said, "You have to have a backbone to be a man, and you didn't do anything wrong by refusing at that time. I'm looking for you because I want you to come out for an interview and tell the reporter what happened at that time?"

Tang Xingwei nodded repeatedly, "No problem no problem!"

"When the time comes, someone might put pressure on you, and you're not afraid of that?"

Tang Xingwei shook his head firmly, "This is because of me, I'll do whatever I want."

Qiao Wen sighed in relief, it seemed that Chen Canaan hadn't made a mistake in going out on a limb, this person was worth it.

After Tang Xingwei finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, got up and walked to the cabinet next to him, took out a few black and white photos and handed them to him, "By the way, when I left the bar yesterday, a man gave me these photos, he said he was a photographer, was drinking in the bar at the time, happened to have a camera with him, and took them by hand when the incident happened, do you think it's useful?"

Qiao Wen received the photos and curved his mouth, originally thinking that without evidence, relying on Tang Xingwei's testimony alone, it might not be convincing, nor could it cause much of a storm. However, these few photos happened to capture the scene of Wen Sen making things difficult for Tang Xingwei, and of course, there was also the image of Chen Canaan's hands.

He carefully put the photo away and smiled, "It's so useful! Don't go out for the next few days and wait for my arrangements."

Tang Xingwei nodded, "Okay."

The depression that had been bottled up for a few days was punctually transformed into refreshment after seeing these photos, and if it wasn't for the fact that Chen Canaan was still eating chaff in the detention center, Qiao Wen would have simply run home easily and cheerfully.

As soon as I got home, several phone calls came in.

First Lin Zi Hui: "Ah Wen, I know about Ah Nan, the bank is closed now, I'll write a check for half a million dollars and send it to you right away."

Jovian was busy saying, "No, no, no."

Lin Zihui: "What are you being polite to me for? I'll bring it to you right away."

Jovian: "No really, I wasn't going to give those sons of bitches half a million dollars."

Lin Zi Hui was shocked, "Could it be that you intend to have Anan locked up for half a year?" Saying this, he sighed again and said, "Actually, it's not a bad thing for him to go in, it can rub off on him, it's just that I'm afraid that by the time he comes out, he'll have become a jailbird."

Qiao Wen: "...... "That's right, this is also the reason why he must quickly fish Chen Canaan out, any later, I guess it will really become a jailbird.

It was hard to explain that he was going to use other methods, and just as he hung up the phone, Guan Zhenbao's phone call also came: "Ah Wen, I already know about Ah Nan's matter, that Peter Wang has screwed me over in the past, and he is a serious son of a bitch. Do you need money? How much do you need, I'll get it together for you right away."

Qiao Wen was busy losing his smile, "Thank you, Young Master Guan, no need, I have a way."

Hanging up Guan Zhenbao's phone, the long-lost big star Li Xingchen surprisingly also called for this matter, "Ah Wen, I heard Ah Xue say that something happened to Ah Nan, how much money do you need, I'll have someone send it to you."

Jovian held his forehead and laughed, "Thanks Big Star, we've got it covered."

After making these calls, Qiao Wen sat heavily on the sofa, his heart could not help but be touched, although he always meets evil people, but there are still many friends worthy of deep friendship.

He hadn't come to this world for nothing.

Chen Canaan, who was locked up inside, should be touched if he knew that so many people cared about him, right?

Before he could slow down, there was another knock on the door, he sighed, got up and went to open the door, the tall man at the door was clearly Jiang Yu Feng.

He threw the duffel bag in his hand all the way to the floor: "Here is two hundred thousand dollars, I have just been looking for brothers to put together in the whole society, the remaining three hundred thousand dollars I will put together tomorrow."

Qiao Wen simply cried and laughed, "Not Brother Feng, how come you're so well informed?" He and Peter Wang had only met in the afternoon, and apart from himself and Zhou Renjun and Tang Xingwei, who had just said goodbye not long ago, no one else knew about the half a million dollars.

Jiang Yu Feng said, "I know you want to find Inspector Hong that Wang Peter nephew, would like to follow you together, but my identity here, I am afraid that Zhou Sir is not convenient, so I sent a little brother to follow you."

Qiaowen froze and shook his head in amusement, "Brother Feng, I'm sorry to trouble you, but this is something I have no intention of solving with money."
