Mai Renhao answered his own question, and also responded to Li Jun's statement.
Mak Yan-ho's meaning is simple: Hong Kong Island belongs to us foreigners. You, Li Jun, had better behave yourself. Otherwise, we can easily deal with Li Mengdi, who can organize 7000 police officers to cause trouble, let alone you, a gangster.
"Director Mai, as I said, as long as we don't trust you foreigners, there won't be so many accidents."
Li Jun also responded to Mai Renhao, saying, "Stop talking nonsense. If you're begging for mercy, you should have the attitude of begging for mercy."
“Li Jun, it seems you have a deep misunderstanding of us Americans. Don’t you think about it? Without us, would Hong Kong be like this today? It is we who brought civilization, prosperity and a comfortable life to Hong Kong and to you Hong Kong Chinese.”
Mai Renhao was clearly angered by Li Jun's unyielding attitude and said some things he would never normally say but had kept to himself for many years.
"Hehe, Director Mak, you overestimate your foreigners and underestimate us Chinese. Hong Kong Island would be better off without you."
A contemptuous smile appeared on Li Jun's face.
Foreigners are always so arrogant and annoying!
"Li Jun, I don't want to talk to you about this anymore. Tonight, our police force can pretend nothing happened. What do you think?"
Mai Renhao clearly realized his loss of composure, quickly composed himself, looked at Li Jun, and slowly began to speak.
"not enough."
Li Jun refused outright.
"Not enough? Li Jun, don't go too far."
Mai Renhao felt his temper rising again, so he quickly took a deep breath and suppressed it.
“Director Mak, your police force arrested me in front of so many people at the nightclub. Now the whole of Hong Kong Island is probably saying that I am the murderer of the Victoria Peak bombing. This has caused very serious damage to my reputation.”
"Even if your police force releases me, so what? People will still say it's just because of insufficient evidence. As long as the real mastermind isn't found by your police force, I'll have to carry this burden forever."
"In this situation, Mr. Director, do you think simply releasing me is enough?"
Li Jun posed a probing question to Mai Renhao.
"..."
Mai Renhao swore that if he were 10 years younger, he would have already landed 113 punches on Li Jun's face.
He had never seen such a shameless person in his life. Damn it, what do you mean that because the police arrested him, the whole of Hong Kong believes he is the mastermind behind it all?
The whole of Hong Kong knows he's the real culprit, yet he acts like he's been wronged, distorting the truth and spouting nonsense!
Mai Renhao used all his strength to suppress his anger. After remaining silent for nearly 10 seconds, he looked at Li Jun and said, "Li Jun, tell me yourself, what do you want our police force to do?"
"The police force must publish a public apology to me in the newspapers and on television news to restore my reputation, and at the same time, reflect on their dereliction of duty."
This time, Li Jun didn't let Mai Renhao guess; instead, he revealed his true intentions directly.
But Mai Renhao now wishes Li Jun hadn't revealed the truth.
Li Jun wasn't making demands at all; he was clearly trying to slap the police force and Mak Yan-ho in the face in front of everyone on Hong Kong Island.
"Li Jun, you're not joking with me, are you?"
Mai Renhao felt that he didn't want to hit people, but rather kill them.
"Director Mak, I've heard that things have been a bit unsettled in the high seas off Hong Kong Island lately. A group of pirates are using the name of the notorious pirate Lo San-pao from decades ago to rob cargo ships and commit atrocities. Our Hong Kong Island marine police really need to improve their combat capabilities, otherwise we ordinary Hong Kong Island citizens won't even dare to take a boat to Macau in the future."
Li Jun said quietly.
"..."
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Mai Renhao could no longer hold back. After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly said, "Li Jun, the police will publish an apology letter to you in various newspapers tomorrow. We will also contact the television station."
"Mr. Commissioner, as an ordinary citizen of Hong Kong Island, I am very pleased with the police force's ability to admit its mistakes and take responsibility. I retract all my previous comments about you. You are a good commissioner."
Li Jun looked at Mai Renhao and spoke slowly, his face full of a 'sincere' smile.
Mai Renhao didn't want to look at Li Jun even once more. After saying those words, he turned around and left.
Even during the tense situation of the anti-corruption campaign, he was always in control and had everyone in his grasp. He never expected that he would be manipulated by a gangster just before his retirement.
Mai Renhao grew angrier and more frustrated the more he thought about it. It was the most frustrating and darkest night of his life.
"Director?"
After Mai Renhao left the interrogation room, Chen Taoran, Li Wenbin, and Zhuo Jingquan, who had been waiting outside, immediately came to greet him.
"Release him. Also, have the Public Relations Department contact the newspapers and television stations on Hong Kong Island to issue a public apology to Li Jun."
Mai Renhao said coldly, his face grim.
[Neiyang Group (jiu qi wu liu san er si yi ling)]
"..."
Upon hearing Mai Renhao's words, Chen Taoran, Li Wenbin, and Zhuo Jingquan were all stunned on the spot.
Half an hour later, Li Jun calmly left the police station, and as he left, news that the Hong Kong Island Police Force would publicly apologize to him spread throughout various circles on Hong Kong Island.
The police force's public apology to a gangster has drawn attention across Hong Kong Island.
This night was not only the most frustrating night for Mak Yan-ho since joining the police force, but also the most frustrating night in the history of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
[093] I still prefer the unruly attitude of your Toshiya family.
The next morning.
Inside Xu Huayan's villa on Kadoorie Hill.
"..."
Xu Huayan stared at the newspaper in his hand, remaining silent for a long time, his face unusually grim.
"Dad, what are you looking at so intently?"
At this moment, Xu Baishi, who had just gotten up, came downstairs yawning and saw his father, Xu Huayan, sitting at the dining table in a daze. He had some questions.
Xu Baishi used to spend six out of seven days a week away from home, but recently Hong Kong Island has been quite chaotic, and he is already exhausted from spending time with that crazy woman Ma Wenfeng every day. He simply doesn't have the energy to mess around outside, so he can only stay at home to recuperate.
Upon hearing Xu Baishi's words, Xu Huayan remained silent and handed the newspaper to his son.
"Dad, what is this? Why are you being so mysterious... Holy crap?"
Xu Baishi didn't think much of the newspaper when he received it, but when he picked it up and glanced at it, he was stunned and his face showed five words: Am I dreaming?
The newspaper prominently featured a police apology to Li Jun, but the police also subtly set a trap for him by adding a sentence at the end of the announcement: "There is no evidence to suggest that Mr. Li Jun is involved in last night's Victoria Peak bombing. Please do not speculate."
This is clearly telling everyone on Hong Kong Island that Li Jun is involved in the Victoria Peak bombing, but our police force has no evidence.
However, the police's addition of this sentence had virtually no effect, because 99% of people, like Xu Baishi, were directly attracted by the absurd phrase of the police apologizing to the gangsters.
"Dad, am I crazy, or is the police force crazy, or is the whole of Hong Kong crazy? The police force is apologizing to the gangsters?"
In Xu Baishi's view, this was even more outrageous than a cat apologizing to a mouse.
"Although I don't know how Li Jun did it, he did do something that no one in the Hong Kong community had ever done in the past 100 years."
Xu Huayan sighed softly.
The emergence of a figure like Li Jun in the Hong Kong underworld was far too cruel for his contemporaries.
His brilliance is so dazzling that it can even make people lose the courage to challenge him.
At first, Xu Huayan thought that the three gangs working together would have Li Jun cornered. After last night, he felt that he could compete with Li Jun. Now, Xu Huayan felt that even if the three gangs combined their strength, they would still be no match for Li Jun.
"Dad, Li Jun is so powerful right now, it's a foregone conclusion that Hung Hing will become the number one triad in Hong Kong. So what should we do now? Just watch Li Jun become number one in Hong Kong and then take over our Sun Kee?"
A hint of worry appeared on Xu Baishi's originally carefree face.
With the Xinji gone, what good is his title as the Crown Prince of Xinji?
"Pak-Shi, Li Jun is a figure that only appears once every hundred years in the Hong Kong underworld. He is truly remarkable!"
Xu Huayan first praised Li Jun highly, then continued, "Unfortunately, Li Jun's path ends here."
"Dad, Li Jun has already forced the police to apologize, how can you still think his career is over?"
Xu Baishi looked puzzled.
"Excessive sharpness can harm both oneself and others!"
Xu Huayan spoke slowly, word by word.
At the same time, Cheung Chi-yung, the leader of the Number Gang, Tang Wai, the uncle of the Wo Luen Shing Society, and the leaders of dozens of other triads on Hong Kong Island all expressed their views.
Although there are disagreements about Li Jun's future development, everyone agrees on one thing.
Li Jun is a once-in-a-century talent in Hong Kong's underworld; he is already a legend in the underworld.
at the same time.
Tai Ping Shan, next to the ruins of the Li family estate.
After being instructed by Li Wentian last night, Li Zetian stayed in this ruin for the entire night without moving an inch.
However, during this period, Li Zetian made more than a dozen phone calls, so he was clearly not entirely honest.
"It's open, it's open!"
At that moment, a cheer reached Li Zetian's ears.
"Mr. Li, the safe house has been opened."
