[030] O's unexpected turn of events and his new relationship with Yako.
"Old Huang, is there some good news?"
Upon hearing Huang Bingyao's voice, Lin Haowen asked with a smile.
"We met in Zone H of the underground parking lot of The One shopping mall half an hour later. The license plate number was 5593."
Huang Bingyao said calmly.
"Wow, Lao Huang, do you have to be so secretive? It's like a secret agent rendezvous."
Although Lin Haowen said that, his brows furrowed slightly.
You'll know when you get here.
After saying that, Huang Bingyao hung up the phone immediately.
"Beep beep beep~"
Hearing the busy tone from the receiver, Lin Haowen hesitated for a moment before pressing the hang-up button and then dialing another number.
"Attorney Huang, wait for me at Zui Xiang Lou in one hour."
After saying this, Lin Haowen quickly put on his clothes and left the room.
The One Mall is a commercial plaza developed in Tsim Sha Tsui by Liu Luanxiong, a newly minted tycoon on Hong Kong Island. It is currently the largest and most bustling commercial plaza on Hong Kong Island, with two levels and twelve zones in its underground parking garage alone.
Lin Haowen drove around for a few minutes before finally finding the car with license plate 5593 in District H. The car had obviously been modified; the windows were blacked out, making it impossible to see inside.
As soon as he opened the car door, a fragrant breeze wafted over him, and then Lin Haowen saw Ya Zi sitting in the back seat giving him a sly smile.
"Old Huang, what happened to keeping it a secret?"
Lin Haowen quickly got into the passenger seat and immediately confronted Huang Bingyao.
"Ah Man, there's a special situation. I received a notification this morning that the former Chief Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, Thomson, suffered a sudden heart attack in the early hours of the morning and passed away. Inspector Lee has taken up the post of Chief Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau ahead of schedule, and I will take over his position and be promoted to Senior Superintendent of the West Kowloon Regional Organized Crime and Triad Bureau."
"Haha, Lao Huang, it seems I'm your lucky star! You got promoted in just a few days. Remember to treat me to a meal."
Lin Haowen's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily.
"Don't interrupt, let me finish what I have to say."
Ignoring Lin Haowen's offer to treat him to a meal, Huang Bingyao continued, "After a Chinese police officer is promoted to senior superintendent, he is placed on the Special Branch's surveillance list. If I contact you personally again, those devils in the Special Branch might discover something."
"So, she's my contact person now?"
Lin Haowen looked at Ya Zi.
"Yes, and also to prevent Yako from continuing her private investigation."
"Old Huang, are you sure you're not just afraid of being bothered by your own daughter?"
Lin Haowen saw through Huang Bingyao's little scheme at a glance.
"Hey, Lin Haowen, you don't think much of me?"
Yako, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't hold back any longer.
"It's not that I look down on you, it's just that I'm so handsome. If you develop feelings for me over time, I'm afraid your dad will smash my head in."
Lin Haowen shook his head and smiled.
"Pshaw, you think I'd develop feelings for you over time?"
Ya Zi glanced at Lin Haowen, then looked at Huang Bingyao, "What do you mean by squashing his head?"
"It's nothing. I'm just telling Ah-Wen to do his job properly, or I'll crush his head."
As Huang Bingyao spoke, he winked at Lin Haowen.
"She's so old and still doesn't act properly."
Ya Zi shook her head helplessly, then handed a stack of documents to Lin Haowen. "Here, these are the documents you requested."
"Lin Haowen, I know your situation is special. From now on, our communication will be primarily your responsibility. I will only contact you proactively in case of an emergency. Don't worry, I know my task is to cooperate with your work."
After Lin Haowen took the document, Ya Zi continued.
"Yazi, just based on what you just said, you're more professional than your dad."
At this point, Lin Haowen extended his right hand, "Pleasure doing business with you!"
Yako extended her right hand and shook hands with Lin Haowen's, a bright smile on her face: "Pleasure doing business with you!"
"That's great, we should cooperate sincerely with each other."
As Huang Bingyao spoke, he grabbed Lin Haowen and Ya Zi's wrists with both hands at the same time, secretly prying the young couple's hands apart. Lin Haowen was 100% sure that this guy was afraid that he would take advantage of Ya Zi.
However, Lin Haowen didn't take it to heart and started looking through the information Ya Zi had given him.
A few minutes later, Lin Haowen had a more detailed understanding of Liu Yaozu and the Henglai Hotel casino.
Previously, Lin Haowen only knew that Liu Yaozu was a son-in-law who had risen to power, and that his father-in-law, Robinson, was the one who used to be in charge of the Henglai Hotel.
Lin Haowen now understands further that Robinson and Ni Kun were sworn brothers, and when he was in charge, the Henglai Hotel was backed by the Ni family.
Three years ago, not long after Ni Yongxiao died, the Henglai Hotel also underwent changes. Robinson was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to five years in prison. The Henglai Hotel was then taken over by Liu Yaozu.
Therefore, Lin Haowen was certain that Han Chen was involved in Robinson's assassination. However, after bringing down Robinson, Liu Yaozu did not completely side with Han Chen. Instead, he made connections with Lian Haolong, Zhu Tao, and others, and began multi-pronged operations.
"Finished watching?"
After Lin Haowen finished turning the last page, Ya Zi asked a question.
"Um."
Lin Haowen nodded slowly.
"You want our help to investigate Liu Yaozu, is it really just to get Han Chen's fifteen million?"
Ya Zi continued to ask.
"Yako, you just said you would be a good service provider."
Lin Haowen glanced at Ya Zi and said calmly.
"Fine, don't tell me then. Besides, I only said I would cooperate with your work, not that I would serve you. Give me back the data."
Ya Zi stretched out her hand in front of Lin Haowen.
"Yazi, there's something I told Lao Huang, and I'll tell you it again now: I can handle some things on my own. You've all helped me so much, I won't hurt you."
Lin Haowen placed the documents in Ya Zi's hands and said to her sincerely.
"Um."
Looking into Lin Haowen's sincere eyes, Ya Zi felt a strange emotion rise in her heart and slowly nodded.
Seeing that the atmosphere between Ya Zi and Lin Haowen was a bit off, Huang Bingyao immediately spoke up: "You said that yesterday, and Tsim Sha Tsui saw one of the most serious triad fights in recent years. If it weren't for Inspector Li suppressing the news, you and Camel would still be drinking tea at the police station right now."
My head started to hurt as soon as I heard you say that.
"Okay, I'll only say it this once, I won't say it again. I'm leaving."
Lin Haowen smiled and nodded, then turned to the side, preparing to open the car door.
"Don't forget what I told you yesterday. I just got promoted, so let me settle into my new position first."
Seeing that Lin Haowen was about to leave, Huang Bingyao immediately gave him some instructions.
With his back to Huang Bingyao, Lin Haowen gave an "OK" sign, then opened the car door and quickly left.
"Is Lin Haowen really that troublesome? I remember he was quite well-behaved when he was in police academy."
Ya Zi looked puzzled.
"Even the most honest person would change after being tricked into selling their life for three years. Huang Zhicheng, that guy, has really ruined many lives! Such a promising talent, the police force could only keep him outside! It's a good thing he's dead, otherwise, this kind of rule-breaker would definitely be expelled from the police force!"
Huang Bingyao looked heartbroken, but he didn't see the thoughtful look in his daughter's eyes.
……
A dozen minutes later, at Cui Xiang Lou, diagonally opposite The One shopping mall.
"Mr. Lin."
Huang Dawen, who was already waiting there, immediately stood up to greet Lin Haowen upon seeing him.
"Attorney Wong, please sit down."
Lin Haowen plopped down and continued, "You're busy with work, so I'll get straight to the point. Do three things for me today."
"The first thing, help me register a security company with the Industry and Commerce Bureau. As for the company name..."
Lin Haowen pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's call it Oriental Security Company."
"it is good."
Huang Dawen nodded slightly.
"The second thing is to use your connections to find out if there is a prison guard named Chung Cho-hung at Stanley Prison."
Lin Haowen took out a wad of banknotes and placed them in front of Huang Dawen. "Help me arrange to meet him at the Golden Wind Nightclub tonight."
"clear."
Huang Dawen put away the banknotes.
"The third thing."
Lin Haowen paused slightly, his eyes sharpening. "Liu Yaozu, the owner of Henglai Hotel, owes me 15 million. Write a lawyer's letter and send it to him, informing him to pay back the money within three days."
