Jiang Youfeng frowned and followed him into the house, asking suspiciously, "No money? Is there any other way?"
Qiao Wen said, "Although this matter Nan is impulsive, but those gweilo humiliate people in the front, and also call us Chinese as little pussy boy, if we directly give money to solve the matter, it would be really too humiliating, if Nan comes out and knows, I'm afraid that he will be so angry that he will go to chop people."
Jiang Yu Feng nodded his head and said with righteous indignation, "That's true, if not for the fact that the He Xing Society isn't too stable right now, I'd hate to go and chop those bastards up, they're simply bullying people too much!"
Qiao Wen lifted up the bag on the ground that contained money, his eyes glanced at the half-open and closed zip, full of a bag of flowery green bills, and even a lot of one or two pieces of zero bills, it is estimated that what can be scraped together tonight has been scraped together. He smiled and sighed, thinking of that time and Qin Yunfei's strife, if not for Jiang Yuefeng stepping in to help, Chen Canaan would either have died and gone straight to black, or been taken by Zhao Shanhai to take his little life, and all in all, he wouldn't even have the life he has now.
Speaking of which, they were not relatives, but it was as if Jiang Yufeng had taken care of and protected them as if they were his own brothers.
He handed the bag to the person across from him and smiled, "Brother Wind, thank you, you're my and Nan's own big brother."
Jiang Xiufeng took the bag and said in amusement, "You guys were originally my Ah Di as well." He also asked, "Do you really have a way?"
Jovian nodded and gestured for him to come in and sit down for a closer chat.
This half a year, together through this many things, is also considered to be born into death, Jiang Yu Feng knows that Qiao Wen is capable of people, when in Vietnam if not him, a few of them early folded over there. And their two families can move out of the fortress, live a stable and decent life, also rely on him.
This is also an important reason why he did not immediately arrest Peter Wang and threaten to release him according to the jianghu way after Ah Nam was arrested. The two boys are now no longer in the city fortress, with a bright future, the city fortress methods, obviously no longer suitable for them, so that is why he told the brothers to raise money.
Now that he heard Qiaowen say that he wasn't going to spend any money to save his life, he was sure that he wasn't just saying that.
Qiaowen handed him a couple of photos, although they were black and white, they were taken so clearly that the outlines of all the people could be seen clearly, and the whole story could be pieced together just by looking at the pictures.
Jiang Yu Feng naturally also saw what this photo was, but he didn't understand what he meant, and looked up to speak in puzzlement, "Ah Wen, what are you ...... trying to do?"
Qiao Wen said, "Although Nan has messed with someone we can't afford to mess with now, but we are still lucky, there was a photographer in the bar that night, who captured the incident on film. Ghostbusters humiliated the Chinese waiter, Nan couldn't stand it and took a righteous stand, and didn't hurt him too much, but he was arrested and faced a year and a half in jail for it, which is definitely a sensational event in the Chinese community. Now that the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is imminent, police officers at all levels are keeping a low profile and being cautious. Do you think Nan will still be jailed?"
Jiang Xuefeng had to say that he understood very well, not really, but then there was that bit of dawning realization, he nodded his head and said with a bit of uncertainty, "Will this really cause a stir when it explodes?"
Qiao Wen nodded, "Although Hong Kong City has been colonized for so many years, the idea of worshiping foreigners is very serious, and many people automatically offer up the Ghostbusters as if they were foreign lords. However, most of the ordinary people, in fact, have always been dissatisfied with the Ghostbusters' superiority in Hong Kong City. This incident can be an opportunity for them to vent their anger. I can guarantee that as soon as this news is exposed, many people will take to the streets to call on the police to release Brother Nam. Who will dare to continue to detain him? I'm only afraid that I won't be able to keep my crown."
Jiang Yu Feng was actually still a bit puzzled, after all, he was a mixer in a club and didn't really understand what was called the power of public opinion. But he still trusted Qiao Wen, since he had already planned it, he must have 100% certainty.
"Well," he nodded, "Anyway, keep me informed if you need any help. Brother Wind has no other skills, but he's not above selling his labor."
Qiao Wen laughed, "Brother Feng, you are now the leading boss of the He Xing Society, it's too modest to say that."
Jiang Yu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "The society is nothing but fighting and killing, whoever has a hard fist is the boss, if Ah Nan still stays in the city fortress, in a couple of years this boss position will probably be his."
Hearing him say this, Qiao Wen couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as it was once again certain that Chen Canaan's fate had been very different from his tragic life in the original book.
The two of them discussed the details for a while longer, as well as what Jiang Yu Feng Feng could help with, before Qiao Wen got up to send the man carrying a bag of bills away.
This time Zhang Jiaming investigated Wang Peter and Vincent, spent two full days, for him this can be called the CIA investigator of the doggy, really counted a little effort. Peter Wang is actually very good investigation, after all, relying on the uncle in Hong Kong City, high-profile, mainly from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong City vacation Vincent let him spend a little effort.
The two met on the afternoon of the third day, and Qiao Wen took Tang Xingwei and went directly to his office.
Zhang Jia Ming has done the news, although two thirds of the star gossip, but he is actually a serious journalism class, but also has a reporter's ambition and conscience, however, the newspaper up and down more than a dozen people, everyone waiting for dinner with their mouths open, he can only give up the ideals of most of the time, and try to concoct a variety of bad gossip, so that the newspaper sales look good, and earn a few more pennies to support the newspaper.
This time, when he heard about Chen Canaan, apart from his anger as a Chinese, his keen sense as a reporter made him realize that this was likely to be a good opportunity for their Oriental New Daily to make a name for itself.
At this moment, when he saw Qiao Wen bring Tang Xingwei, he understood that he and the other party's ideas coincided. He took out the file bag and handed it to Qiao Wen: "I guess you've heard of Peter Wang's deeds, there are too many things that are broken, so I casually investigated a few piles. However, this Vincent is really interesting, he is the nephew of Senator Richard, the bad British dude, this came back to Hong Kong City, not really a vacation, but because he was sentenced for drunken arson in the UK, his family spent some money to get him a reprieve, and sent him to Hong Kong City to hide from the wind. This matter is reported, it is expected to cause a great social repercussion. Only ......" he hesitated slightly, "Although you brought witnesses over, but with just one witness, I'm afraid it will make them counter sue us for slander."
Qiao Wen nodded and picked up the information he gave him and roughly scanned through it, Peter Wang really did rely on his uncle's relationship, and had done too many evil things. As for Vincent, in the end in the United Kingdom has done how many evil deeds, does not matter, only the body still carries the charge to run to Hong Kong City this one, has been enough.
He handed Zhang Jiaming those photos he brought, "Reporter Zhang, do you think this is enough evidence?"
Zhang Jiaming picked up the photo and after seeing what it was, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, "There's even a photo?"
Jovian said, "It was a bit of luck that a photographer happened to be at the bar at the time and casually captured the incident on film."
"Good good good!" Zhang Jiaming's excitement was overflowing, "I'll interview and write the article right away, reformat tomorrow morning's newspaper, and have the printing house work an extra shift."
Qiao Wen said, "Then I'll trouble Reporter Zhang."
"No trouble no trouble." Zhang Jiaming shook his head repeatedly, thinking that if it wasn't for you providing so much material, how could our district tabloid get first-hand news material.
After the interview was over and Qiao Wen and Tang Xingwei were sent away, he stayed in the office and worked overtime, writing like a chicken.
He had a feeling that the high points of both the New Eastern News and his own career were coming.
The next morning, the first thing Qiao Wen did was to go out and buy a newspaper. Because he came out too early, he also had to stand at the newspaper stall for a while before waiting for the latest Oriental New News.
When I opened the newspaper, the front page headline was a big shocking headline - "Shocked! Outrage! Chinese Youths Persecuted and Imprisoned for Bullying Chinese Waiters by "Foreign Lords"! The ...... is very pompous, the usual style of Hong Kong city lace tabloids.
But this headline is also really eye-catching, but this news eye-catching obviously also more than just the title, with photos of the incident and interviews with the parties involved, coupled with Zhang Jiaming's skillful and tactful writing style, it is even more sobering.
But anyone who has some sense of right and wrong, or who has some opinions about foreigners, I am afraid that after reading this news, their mood will not be calmed for a long time.
Qiaowen stood on the side of the road for a while, and then he heard the people who were buying newspapers in the neighborhood, begin to discuss the matter in conversation.
He curled the corners of his mouth and gathered up the paper for a slow walk home.
Just as he entered the door, he heard the phone ringing. He walked over to answer it, and it was Peter Wang calling.
"Mr. Qiao, two days have passed, are you ready for the 500,000? I persuaded Mr. Vincent to give you one more day, so, you hurry over, sign the contract for the sale of the land, my friend can pay you the cash, Mr. Vincent will get the compensation and immediately arrange to release your friend."
Peter Wang still had the tone of a high and mighty cockney, apparently not yet aware that both his and Vince's honorable deeds had already appeared in this morning's Oriental New Journal.
Qiao Wen laughed, "Shao Wang, truth be told, I was originally planning to sell the land, but I just read the news in the newspaper and thought that if I sold the land and gave you money, I'm afraid it would have an impact on your reputation."
Peter Wang was unsure, "What news?"
Jovan said, "Just today's Eastern News, both you and Mr. Vinson are in the paper."
Peter Wang is not a fool, listening to his words, sensing that something is not right, hurriedly hung up the phone.
Qiao Wen looked at the beeping receiver and skimmed the phone. Then he came next door and called Howie out, "Go to the Walled City and look for Brother Feng, and say that according to what I discussed with him, have the people he arranged for about lunch time, go to the major shopping districts and crowded streets to pull banners and march."
Howie said, "Okay, I got it."
People in Hong Kong City live under great pressure, and human feelings are weak and focus on interests. When they see this news, most of them will certainly be filled with righteous indignation, and they will inevitably criticize it when they get together after tea. But it's not that easy for these people to do something about it.
But people have a herd mentality, and as long as someone takes the lead, it's only natural for someone to follow and join in.
Wo Xing Society does not lack of manpower, but a group of society personnel on the street parade, look really like a rabble, ordinary citizens will be afraid to avoid far away. So Qiao Wen let Jiang Yu Feng only arrange a few brothers to maintain order, the rest of the people are the people of the western part of the walled city, as well as some of the neighborhoods near to spend money to come to the uncles and mothers.
These banners, there are those that ask for the immediate release of the people, those that ask the gweilo Vince and the second gweilo Peter Wang to apologize to the waiter Tang Xingwei, and those that scold the police station for being dark and Inspector Hung's nephew, Peter Wang, for bullying the people.
There are even a few flags that say "expel the Tartars and return China to us".
Bullet points, even in a time without the internet, things festered quickly enough.
For most of the day, the entire Hong Kong city was abuzz with this incident. Reporters from major newspapers and radio stations, including television stations, poured out and surrounded the Star World Bar and the police station, and there were also reporters squatting at the Kowloon Criminal Investigation Department and the Legislative Council to interview Hung Ming Cheung and Councilor Richard.
And the procession gradually expanded, from the originally arranged hundred or so people, gradually adding many grandparents who came spontaneously. These people had experienced the war-torn era of being bullied and humiliated by the Great Powers, and held hatred for imperialism in their hearts. At this moment, they were given a chance to give vent to their hatred, and seeing that someone had already taken the lead, they naturally did not hesitate any longer.
By the time they got off work in the evening, many young office workers in suits joined in. Many of these people are usually full of English, and there is no shortage of foreign admirers, but when they see the newspaper photos of Tang Xingwei being bullied and humiliated by Vincent, it is inevitable that things will hurt them. Realizing that no matter how well they speak English, they are still second-class citizens, it is time to fight for equal rights.
Because Jiang Yu Feng had arranged for his juniors to secretly maintain order, the parade had been kept calm and peaceful, but whenever anyone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, they had already dealt with it without the need for the police to come, thus the police could not find any excuse to quell the parade.
The major radio newspapers then followed suit, and the storm could no longer be suppressed by force.
And Chen Canaan, a Chinese youth, turned into a real Chinese hero in the media reports and people's word of mouth, as for Peter Wang and Vincent, they became street rats that everyone shouted at.
Early the next morning, Hong Mingzhang and Richard MP, respectively, issued a statement in two newspapers, said that this matter is completely unaware of, and strongly condemn the nephew and nephew's behavior, the police will be impartial, as long as it is determined that no crime is involved in the Chinese young people will never bear the brunt of the prison sentence. Please rest assured.
Then Jovan gets a call from his lawyer asking him to pick him up at the police station.
Qiao Wen asked Lin Zi Hui to borrow a driver, and of course, Young Master Hui went along in order to watch the fun.
To say that the bustle is really bustling, the police station detention center in front of a few circles of reporters waiting to interview Chen Canaan, and on both sides of the street, there are also citizens with "welcome home hero" banner.
Chen Canaan closed five or six days, two ears do not hear things outside the window, focusing on in when the boss, if another two days late out, I'm afraid that really became a prison bully.
He was escorted out the door by the police and was shocked to see the reporters swarming around him outside.
"Hero Chen, congratulations on regaining your freedom, may I ask what you think of this matter?"
Canaan Chen: "...... "Hero Chen? What the hell?
Qiao Wen, who was sitting in the car, saw him surrounded by confusion and hurriedly waved, "Brother Nan, get in the car!"
Chen Canaan saw a few days to see, fast let him want to bad Qiao Wen, immediately smile, also lazy to care about these reporters, by virtue of the skillful body, break through the siege, a smoke drilled on the back seat of the car.
Lin Zihui hurriedly ordered the driver to drive.
Chen Canaan looked at the reporters in hot pursuit behind him, still not understanding what had happened, "Xiao Qiao, why are there so many reporters? It can't be that I've gotten into some big trouble again, right?"
Lin Zi Hui had collected a bunch of briefings in the past few days, and even brought them over specifically for Chen Canaan, smiling and placing them on his lap, "Want to know what happened in the past few days while you were locked up? It's all here."
Chen Canaan only glanced at him and threw the thick stack of briefings back at him in disgust, "Four-eyed boy, are you purposely trying to get on my bad side? Giving me so many words to read as soon as you come out?"
Lin Zihui: "......"
Qiao Wen laughed out loud, "Alright Nan, I'll tell you slowly when we get back."
