Chapter 873: Under Investigation, Betting Funds Donated
After sending Shu Han to the hospital, Xiao He also went to check on Officer Cheng Bei's condition.
Cheng Bei has successfully completed the surgery and has been safely transferred to a regular ward. He is no longer in danger.
However, this was also the place with the most police officers, including many high-ranking leaders in charge of the case. So Xiao He was asked to leave after standing at the door for a while and was unable to go in to see Cheng Bei in person.
However, Xiao He really didn't have time to visit Officer Cheng Bei again after that.
The Hong Kong Police Department and the highest-ranking official in charge of the case both wanted to meet with him and discuss some issues related to the case.
Xiao He noticed that the police officer who came to invite him was tall and had an imposing presence, making him stand out from the other ordinary police officers.
Even his useless passive alarm was going off like crazy at this moment.
It seems that the people who came this time were not only investigating the human trafficking case on the Xiang Sheng ship, but also more interested in investigating the transactions between the two Japanese and the Dong family.
He is now also involved, and the situation is likely to be more complicated than he imagined.
Xiao He gave a bitter smile.
He deserves reward and praise for his great contribution, but the serious conspiracy that endangers the people is more important than personal honor.
One wrong step could affect the lives and daily lives of countless Chinese people.
Therefore, the necessary investigation procedures will definitely take place.
After all, those two bottles of "virus" are still with him.
"I see."
Xiao He nodded to the police officer, then said, "Excuse me, could I have three minutes? I need to speak with my agent for a few minutes."
The officer nodded, not intending to be too harsh on a hero like Xiao He, but still solemnly reminded him, "Please do not discuss anything related to the case."
"Uh-huh."
Xiao He then looked at Liu Rulan apologetically: "I'm sorry, Sister Liu, I might encounter some problems here, and I don't know when I'll be able to get away. I can only ask you to take care of things at work."
Liu Rulan looked at Xiao He calmly. After her anger subsided, she had regained her composure and knew that this incident would lead to Xiao He being investigated for some time.
Public security is always the top priority.
She knew they couldn't stop them, and she knew it was a procedure the police had to follow.
"I see."
Liu Rulan sighed, "I will coordinate with the director on the 'Long' production team, and we can also help you handle the online public opinion issues. You... take care of yourself and don't worry about what's going on outside."
"Yes, thank you."
Xiao He hesitated for a moment, then took out a bank card from his clothes.
"The money in this card was all won from that guy. It might not mean much to me, but for many people these days, it has a much higher value."
He handed the bank card to Liu Rulan, saying, "So, while I'm busy, I'm asking you, Sister Liu, to help me with this."
Especially after seeing the condition of the girls in the hospital, Xiao He knew that he was fully capable of doing something.
—Then let's do it.
Using those guys' gambling money to help the victims is already giving them face.
"ah."
Liu Rulan was taken aback when she saw the card in front of her, but she wasn't surprised at all that Xiao He would make such a decision. She simply reached out and took it, promising, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Just then, the unfamiliar police officer who had been standing by and listening to them the whole time suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, was that box of US dollars found on the cargo ship yours too?"
Xiao He turned to look at the police officer: "Yes, it's mine. Fortunately, the Xiang Sheng ship really has complete infrastructure. They were able to provide such a large amount of US dollars on the spot when I wanted to exchange it."
That made things much easier for him.
The officer's expression toward Xiao He became even more complicated.
This must have been the first time he had ever seen someone actually bring two million real US dollars ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) onto a ship and risk their life to save the innocent victims on board.
This is still an ordinary citizen.
He can't even be described as just warm-hearted.
They've put in both money and effort.
However, because of this, the police officer's expression towards Xiao He became even more gentle, and he explained, "We may temporarily seal and store that box of money for investigation, and we will return it to you as soon as the results are available."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao He said.
Liu Rulan glanced at Xiao He, then nodded to the unfamiliar police officer, and stood there watching them leave together.
At this time, Tong Junhui was also asked to leave to cooperate with the investigation, leaving only her and Lao Qi in the corridor.
Their involvement in this matter was not as deep as that of others, so in the end, Liu Rulan and Lao Qi only had to give their statements according to the police's standard procedures before they were allowed to leave.
Before returning, Liu Rulan visited Zhang Ning one last time.
That's the girl who escaped using her own abilities.
Zhang Ning was somewhat disappointed not to see his true benefactor, but he still expressed his understanding of the police investigation.
So when Liu Rulan and Lao Qi walked out of the hospital, it was already broad daylight outside.
After being busy for so long, I realized it's only morning now.
Liu Rulan squinted, looked up at the light above her head, and felt a strange sense of disbelief: "I didn't expect it to be dawn already."
Old Qi also looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen such a big sun."
Hong Kong is very hot in September.
Judging from today's weather and temperature, it will definitely be even hotter today.
Just then, Xiao Chen, who had finally managed to escape from Victoria Harbour, drove over.
"Sister Liu! Brother Qi!"
He waved hurriedly at Liu Rulan, accompanied by Shu Han's current agent, He Wenming.
When He Wenming realized that only Liu Rulan and Lao Qi had come out, his expression finally changed slightly, and he asked, "Shu Han and Xiao He are both injured? Are they serious?"
Liu Rulan explained, "Shu Han suffered some minor injuries and the doctor recommended that he stay in the hospital for observation. Xiao He was fine, but he was called in by the police to cooperate with the investigation."
"Phew, I see. Where is Shu Han? I'd like to go see him."
He Wenming breathed a sigh of relief. After getting the exact location from Liu Rulan, he went directly to find Shu Han.
Xiao Chen, who stayed behind, immediately raised his phone and reported, "Sister Liu, I saw several videos about Brother Xiao on the way here. I think you might want to take a look at this."
Why would someone who's driving have time to watch videos on the way here? It's because they've been stuck in traffic the whole way.
Therefore, Liu Rulan did not raise any objections and directly picked up her phone to check.
It was a short video that was less than 10 seconds long.
However, the contents were so shocking that even a single glance at them would make Liu Rulan gasp in horror.
The video quality is actually quite good. After all, being able to clearly capture the situation on the cargo ship from a certain point on the Xiang Sheng indicates that the equipment used for filming was at least expensive. However, probably because it was filmed at night and the equipment itself did not have night vision capabilities, the video has extremely high noise.
But amidst the noise of the white snowflakes, the figure that flashed by was surprisingly eye-catching in the night. After being magnified in infinite slow motion through video editing, a young and handsome face was revealed—a familiar face that Liu Rulan had seen countless times before.
The guy who raised his gun to shoot at him had his back to the camera, so his face was not clearly visible.
Immediately afterwards, a gunshot rang out!
The screen then started shaking, as if it too was frightened by what it saw!
Off-screen, Liu Rulan also slowly closed her eyes.
The woman's face gradually contorted into a grimace: "Who took this picture?"
Why are there so many people taking photos on ships?!
