Just after sending Han Anni back to Wendebao, someone brought a secret letter, which Sun Bo handed to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled, then frowned: "We need some catalyst! Otherwise, the election will be a failure."
When I came out of Room 408, I saw Wen Liangyu waiting outside.
"Fourth brother, it's better if you don't meet me recently!" Lu Ming smiled slightly.
"You and I are brothers, what else are you talking about..." Wen Liangyu smiled bitterly. There was something to say that didn't need to be said. If you fell, would I be okay
Ever since you first beat little Renault at Windermere, Windermere has become inseparable from you, my brother.
"Shaqui Reno brought his wife, Longhubao and Bao, to the Dragon and Phoenix Teahouse opposite for tea. Be careful when you leave..." Wen Liangyu said, shaking his head. Longhubao and Bao were right at her doorstep, but she could only endure it.
In the past, everyone kept to themselves. I wouldn't go near the Mingjia Hotel, and Liu Shouye's people wouldn't come to the Wendebao Street area.
"Oh?" Lu Ming smiled. "How did these guys get together? Are they here to see me? They are just here to watch. When will you accept Wen Debao?"
Shaquille Reynolds is the older brother of Renault Jr. and the eldest son of Renault Sr. Many of Renault Sr.'s businesses have been handed over to him, making it clear that he is the successor of the Renault family.
Dragon, Tiger and Leopard are three of Mingjia Entertainment's big boss Liu Shouye's gold medal thugs, and they are gangsters who love fighting and killing.
Mingjia Entertainment and Wendebao are two leaders in Beiguan's gray industry, and the competition is extremely fierce.
Although Liu Shouye prostituted himself and became a councilor of Beiguan, he still had a group of thugs in secret, namely the brothers Long, Hu and Bao and their men.
After all, it is impossible to be truly clean when working in gray industries such as pornography and gambling.
"Did Long, Hu and Bao come here on their own or did Liu Shouye allow it?" Lu Ming muttered to himself.
The relationship between Liu Shouye and myself is actually very complicated. I once taught his son Liang Gongzi a lesson.
But his partner in the law firm is his favorite cousin Liu Hanming.
Of course, people are individuals, especially at the stage of Liu Shouye and Liu Hanming, they all have their own circles and consider things from different perspectives. It is impossible for the uncle and nephew to have the same stance.
"I'll go and take a look!" Lu Ming smiled.
Wen Liangyu wanted to persuade him, but when he thought about it, the other party was right in front of Wen Debao, and he brought his men to show off his power. He couldn't hold back his anger, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements first!"
Lu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, no one wants to shoot me to death now!" He then said: "The wife of Big Renault, Catherine, right? The retired celebrity?"
Wen Liangyu nodded.
Catherine is a film queen of the previous generation, but she seems to be only four or five years older than the current film queen Nicole.
The film industry is changing rapidly, especially for retired stars. When you think of the name Catherine, it seems like a very long time ago.
But her classic shots are timeless and hard to forget.
Wen Liangyu smiled bitterly in her heart. She used to be her super fan.
Unfortunately, she retired from the screen two years ago and married Shaquille Reynolds, who was a dozen years older than her. She married into a wealthy family and raised children. Originally, I had wished her well in my heart.
Lu Ming rubbed his chin. "Let me take a look at her. She is different from my sister Nicole. She used to be pure, but there were nude shots. My sister Nicole went for the sexy route, but she has never appeared in a bikini, right?"
Wen Liangyu smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes."
"Can you find a poster of her naked? Bring me one and I'll ask her to sign it."
Wen Liangyu was stunned and coughed. "As for the posters, she has never appeared in a nude version. There is the one where she hugs her breasts. Due to the camera angle, the waves on the beach just cover the lower part..."
Lu Ming nodded. Nowadays, even if there are nude scenes in the film, it is difficult to actually circulate it as photos or the like. After all, it is not the future, with various digital versions that can be processed and screenshots can be taken.
The posters are even more so, all of which are officially released by Reynolds Pictures.
"That one, it sounds good and very artistic." Looking at Wen Liangyu, "Fourth brother, why do you seem a little reluctant to let it go?"
“No, no! I’ll get it for you…” Wen Liangyu turned around, but his heart was bleeding. These were treasures in his collection, and he couldn’t bear to take them out even to take a look at them.
…
The Dalongfeng Teahouse is a typical Zhongzhou-style teahouse with a wooden structure, flying eaves and corners, and red lanterns hanging on it.
Lu Ming went up to the second floor. All around him were Wen Liangyu's men, all dressed in black and shorts, carrying pistols.
Although no one probably wants to shoot their brother to death right now, but if he obviously goes to cause trouble, that might force others to become impatient.
However, since the other party did cross the line first, let's do it. It looks like the world is going to be in chaos anyway.
The window of the private room where Big Renault and Longhubao were drinking tea faced the magnificent glass revolving door of the Wenderbao Club.
They could naturally see the arrogant scene of Lu Ming leading twenty or thirty men in black out of the club, crossing the road to the opposite side of the street and stopping all passing vehicles.
Lu Ming found it funny as he walked along. His current behavior seemed like he had really become a gangster boss.
Looking at the group of men in black rushing in, the seven or eight burly men guarding the door of the private room turned pale.
After all, before coming here, I heard that Wen Lao Si was in big trouble, so even if I shit in front of Wen Debao’s gate now, no one would care. But who would have thought that the other party would come here with such an aggressive attitude to cause trouble.
If a fight really breaks out, the other side is the enemy's base camp, and how can the few of us we have be enough
These people were just timid and pretending to be fierce in order to stop the wolves. However, they never expected that the men in black would point their box guns at them without saying a word.
These Dragon, Tiger and Leopard followers had no idea that they wouldn't even have a chance to touch the weapon and were forced to squat on the ground.
The door was pushed open with a bang, and Lu Ming came in holding the poster roll wrapped in a carefully wrapped cloth bag. Behind him, seven or eight gunmen in black followed in, holding box guns in their hands, with the muzzles pointed at the ground.
Sun Bo, who was standing next to Lu Ming, looked very inconspicuous, just like an old servant.
There were five people sitting in the private room.
Shaquille Reno is a handsome man in his thirties, wearing a tuxedo with a tall black hat next to him, looking like a very old-fashioned gentleman.
But his face turned slightly pale. Naturally, he could not have expected that things would develop in this direction, which was completely different from what he thought.
Especially, Lu Ming came in and laughed: "Even rabbits bite when they are angry. Who wouldn't dare to die together?"
Dragon, Tiger and Leopard, two men and one woman, all exude a fierce aura. The three brothers and sisters, Dalong, Erhu and Leopard Girl, are all densely covered with tattoos, and their exposed necks are also covered with ferocious tattoos.
The three of them were very calm and looked at Lu Ming with a sneer.
"Ms. Catherine, I'm here to ask for your autograph!" Lu Ming smiled and looked at the innocent young Western woman next to the big Renault.
Indeed, even though Catherine has been a wife for two years, her face is still beautiful and charming, with short golden curly hair, a hairstyle that most beauties cannot control, but it just brings out Catherine's noble and exquisite temperament. She wears a black gauze dress that outlines her beautiful figure.
However, overall, they have not reached the level of Nicole and Pamela. As for the Zhen twins, they are fairies in heaven and cannot be compared with mortals.
But Catherine has great acting skills. Her deep blue eyes are so bright that they really seem to be able to speak. All joy, anger, sorrow and happiness can be expressed in her eyes. Even now, as she sits quietly, her temperament is obviously different from that of others.
Therefore, if Nicole really appeared on a variety show with her, according to the various scores given by fans in later generations who like to make all-round comparisons, it would be unknown who would win in the end.
After all, although Nicole is more beautiful and has a better figure, she is like a traffic star and lacks some of Catherine's characteristics.
Maybe, it should be called the accumulation of years.
But men are all pigs, and most of them probably like Nicole.
Lu Ming was lost in thought as he slowly unfolded the poster and laid it on Catherine's desk.
Big Renault's expression changed immediately, "Lu Qianxing, you..."
Before she could curse him, Catherine patted his hand gently and looked at Lu Ming with disdain in her green eyes, "You little jerk, you Central Plains pig, get out! You're going to jail soon, and when the time comes, I'll bring you pig food!"
Lu Ming was stunned. He couldn't think of this.
The former movie queen who was known for her purity, turned out to be fierce and aggressive at heart, and she also had serious racial discrimination.
Unlike Pamela, Pamela was only educated as an aristocrat since childhood, and the things in her bones sometimes revealed inadvertently. After being with me, needless to say, her thinking had already changed imperceptibly. Bis was even funnier, and she was proud of being a "good barbarian".
As for Nicole, she comes from a poor family and is a kind person. She has no racial ideas at all.
This former and currently popular actress has two faces, in front of and behind the scenes.
Nicole has a hot and sexy style, but she is actually pure and conservative at heart.
Although Catherine seems conservative and noble, she is actually a shrew. Those interviews in newspapers criticizing racial ideas were all stagecraft.
After all, the East China Sea is the East China Sea of the Central Plains and the largest film market in the empire. Moreover, in the entire empire, the population of Central Plains and Westerners is almost the same. If she wants the Central Plains market, she must show her disgust for racial ideas.
Looking at Catherine, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Let me see, it seems to be a little smaller than on the poster. Has the poster been processed?"
He reached out and touched Catherine's chest.
Big Renault suddenly stood up and stood in front of Lu Ming.
At this moment, there were several muffled sounds behind them, and the three people, Long, Hu and Bao, fell to the ground one after another.
They all wanted to rush up and take Lu Ming hostage, but who would have thought that the old servant who had been following Lu Ming tremblingly and helping Lu Ming to receive the cloth bag at any time was actually a master of close combat. He was one step in front of them unknowingly, and the three men were knocked down in an instant and lost their fighting ability.
Seeing this scene, Big Renault's face suddenly turned pale.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'm going to die anyway, so it's good to have a few more people to take the blame for me. I'm just wondering, what's wrong with your brain that you're running here to die?!"
"You, what dare you do?..." Big Renault stood in front of his wife.
Looking at the fallen dragon, tiger and leopard, Catherine's pretty face also showed surprise.
Lu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "Take him away and send him to my car!"
The original intention of this series of actions was to make Sun Bo approach Longhubao unknowingly.
However, looking at Catherine, thinking about the words she scolded him, and then looking at the men in black who were pulling the big Renault, he saw that they were actually still a little hesitant about pulling the Western nobles, and they were not quite able to let go, so they couldn't pull the two people away for a long time.
Lu Ming reached out and seemed to pinch Catherine's breasts hard, and said with a smile: "It's a little small!"
Catherine screamed in pain, or perhaps more out of humiliation, and cursed, but her mouth was quickly gagged.
The men in black immediately burst into laughter, as if they suddenly felt that these two were just ordinary people, and were now just fish on the chopping board.
He immediately became rough and pulled the Renault couple downstairs.
On the other side, Lu Ming asked someone to find a stretcher to carry him away. In the chaos, the Renault couple felt even more confused and thought that this guy was mentally ill.
…
Suddenly, news that Mr. "G" might have kidnapped the eldest son and his wife of the Renault family and then disappeared became everywhere.
Although reporters went to Mr. "G's" mansion on Hepu Road and kept watching, there was no sign of any police action.
It seems that the Renault family did not call the police.
Of course, there were also rumors that the big Reno couple, somehow, shot Mr. "G".
I don’t know which rumor is true and which is false.
In short, Mr. "G" is really missing. For two or three consecutive days, Mr. "G" was not seen in Hepu Road or Wendebao, two places he often went to. After all, when Mr. "G" travels, he uses large and small cars, especially the iconic luxury Empire Dream van, which is particularly eye-catching.
…
A super-luxury apartment building with more than 30 floors in the West District.
In a bedroom in Room 3 on the 27th floor.
It is called a bedroom, but it has been renovated. There is a long table with a black machine on it, and a round disc is spinning.
Lu Ming sat quietly, with Zhang Xianhe sitting next to him, holding the earphones with one hand, listening to the sounds coming out.
Zhang Xianhe's expression was extremely strange.
In the headphones, two men were talking.
"Jeff has already died in his hands, I can't let Shaquille be buried with him, do you understand? He has gone crazy, now he is a mad dog! If Shaquille is gone too, what's the point of what I'm doing now?!"
Another voice said, "But Mr. Bucklo will not agree to give up halfway. Besides, all the evidence now points to him. Moreover, the evidence is very obscure because it was arranged in this way. Although there is no clear evidence that he did it, everyone will think that he did it. In this way, he will lose all protection in the East China Sea, and no one will care how he dies in the end. Those bigwigs would rather he die quietly."
"So, there is no clear evidence that he did it. Even if we want to stop it, we are powerless and can't do anything?"
"Besides, this plan requires so much manpower and resources, Mr. Renault. You can't just stop it."
The slightly old voice began, "I think about it, I think about it, but I can't lose Shaquille again, I can't..."
"Okay, Mr. Renault, if there's anything, I'll try to meet you at the old place. It's not safe for you to call me so often. I understand that you're anxious, but let's be careful."
"Besides, he might just be blackmailing you. How would he know that it was us who did it? He really didn't get to the point when he talked to you, right? He was just blackmailing you on purpose. If you just pretend that you didn't know, maybe he wouldn't do anything to the eldest son..."
The old man's voice responded vaguely, and then the call was disconnected.
Zhang Xianhe put down his headphones and picked up a file on the table.
Inside was the information of one person, Shelf Zuo Dun, the senior personal advisor to Reynolds Sr., the helmsman of Reynolds Pictures.
That is, the person who just spoke to old Renault.
Shelfer lived in Room 3 on the 28th floor, and his phone was bugged.
Looking at Lu Ming, Zhang Xianhe smiled bitterly, "Commissioner Lu, you know that I was originally assigned by Deputy Minister Cheng Lingyu to investigate the possible money laundering case of Renault Pictures. Moreover, it was just a preliminary investigation. Prosecutor Cheng said that you might have some information that could help me, but what I heard had nothing to do with money laundering!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yesterday's conversation was about money laundering. Here, it's all recorded."
Zhang Xianhe smiled bitterly: "I understand what Deputy Director Cheng is doing, and I understand what you are doing, but I don't have the right to monitor Scherfer, and these monitoring recordings cannot be brought to court."
Lu Ming nodded. "Yes, you were illegally wiretapping. In the money laundering case, these evidences cannot be brought to court. However, I accidentally obtained these wiretapping materials. My case will most likely not need to go to court. Moreover, if I go to court, whether these wiretapping recordings can be used as evidence depends on how the judge views it and how I fight for it. Since it was not a purposeful wiretapping, it may be used as circumstantial evidence for the jury to listen to. Of course, I still say that this recording was not originally intended to be used in court, right? If you want to accuse me of masterminding the murder, there is no clear evidence, so it is difficult to send me to the dock."
Zhang Xianhe smiled bitterly and thought for a moment. "Okay, Commissioner, I started monitoring this place five days ago. However, if the Internal Investigation Division punishes me, that's fine. But if they think I've seriously violated the rules and want to take me to court, you have to be my defense lawyer."
Lu Ming smiled: "Need I say more?" He held out his hand, "Xianhe, I'll remember this favor!"
Zhang Xianhe sighed deeply: "I have always believed in you, sir, but I never thought that it was Mr. Renault..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You continue to monitor!"
After coming out, Lu Ming went into another small room, picked up the phone and dialed a number.
After a few rings, the phone was picked up.
"Prosecutor Cheng, thank you. I feel like it's almost done. I should have some clues in a few days. I'll try my best and still make it in time for my TV debate."
The person on the other end seemed to be stunned for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly and said, "You are still thinking about running for election? Unbelievable, you are really incredible."
"Anyway, thank you, Inspector Cheng!" Lu Ming smiled.
"I don't know anything, but someone reported that Reno Pictures was laundering money. I just want Team Leader Zhang to conduct a preliminary investigation."
Lu Ming smiled: "I understand."
The person on the other end hesitated for a moment. "Actually, when you first got into trouble, Mr. Hans called me and told me to find him if I needed help. Of course, whether there's this call or not, I will definitely help if I can, as long as it doesn't violate the rules."
Lu Ming was a little surprised. Mr. Hans? Suddenly he realized that it was Judge Christine's elder brother. Of course, Christine asked his elder brother for help. After all, from a certain perspective, the reputation of this prince must be greater than Christine's.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart. How many people were worried about him when he got into trouble? He felt that his life was worth it.
He picked up the file in front of him and looked at it again.
A few days ago, when the Renaults and Longhubao went to Dalongfeng, they happened to receive a secret letter in Wendebao that the traitor had been caught.
The traitor also confessed that his superior was Shelfer, the person upstairs who was currently being eavesdropped on by him.
Senior personal advisor to Renault Sr.
From the moment the traitor was caught, he cooperated very well, especially when he saw the old catfish appear in front of him alive.
He was even excited because he knew that, after all, he had not caused any real harm.
If you cooperate with me, maybe you can save your life.
Another clue is Gao Ping, the one who wore Buyun shoes and pretended to be Lao Catfish to get the telegram. He is a former member of the Tiedan Gang and the one who laundered money for Renault Pictures. He is also closely connected with Scherfer.
It was even revealed that the northern businessman was actually a former employee of Shelf.
So it is obvious that in this operation to frame himself, Schaeffer was the spokesperson for old Renault and also his firewall.
He is the real executor of all actions.
However, even if you catch this kind of person, you won't be able to get anything out of him.
There is no way to verify his secret conversation with old Renault.
At this time, the Renault couple appeared.
It's simply a ready-made catalyst.
He pretended to kidnap them and sent someone to make an anonymous call to old Renault, asking him to find a way to clear his name, otherwise, his eldest son and daughter-in-law would die miserably. Moreover, he guaranteed that the torture they would suffer before death would make them regret coming to this world.
Old Renault finally panicked, and that's why he called several times directly to discuss these secrets with Scherfer on the phone.
And Shelfer's phone had been bugged by Biju without anyone noticing.
Of course, now we have wired monitoring, so we can only set up this temporary command center in Shelfer’s unit downstairs.
Come to think of it, I really have to thank Big Renault. I was just thinking of a trick to force the other party to move actively. Only by forcing the other party to move will there be a flaw.
At this time, the big Renault came to the door.
As the successor of Reynolds Pictures, Big Reynolds would naturally hide all the framing of himself from Old Reynolds.
In this way, even if something happens in the end, his eldest son will not be implicated, and the Renault family will still have successors.
But this also led to this guy thinking that he had really killed the Border Commissioner and was about to be knocked down.
He and Little Renault were very good friends and had a deep brotherly love, so he ran to Winderbao's territory, ready to see himself make a fool of himself.
Moreover, I don't know how he talked to Liu Shouye, but with Longhubao accompanying him, he seemed to be pretending to promise that Wendebao would be a place protected by Longhubao's people in the future.
As a result, it became door-to-door delivery.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head, got up and walked out of the house, and then entered another small room.
Big Renault and Catherine, both handcuffed and shackled, gagged, sat in the corner of the room.
These two people were locked up here, so naturally Zhang Xianhe would not see them.
Zhang Xianhe himself also understood that there might be many secrets here, and he was determined not to go to a room he shouldn't go to.
Looking at the terrified Renault, when Zhang Xianhe was not around yesterday, he pulled him and his wife to listen to a recording of the conversation between old Renault and Scherfer.
"Mr. Renault, your father framed me, and you had the courage to report it. You have been with me for the past few days, right? We must fight against your father's conspiracy together."
"Or are you and your father in cahoots and went to Dalongfeng to assassinate me?"
"As a result, I was injured and just woke up. I just found out that you two have been detained for several days. My subordinates don't know the law. I will order them to surrender."
"You should remember that I was carried out of Dalongfeng on a stretcher."
Lu Ming smiled and pointed to his left shoulder. "It hurts a lot when I get hurt here, especially when I shoot myself. So, you will feel double the pain in the future."
Big Renault's eyes were filled with fear.
Lu Ming looked at him, "So, do you choose the first answer or the second one? Actually, even if I tell you all the facts, I will only receive sympathy. You should understand this. I am just giving you a chance, and also giving your father a chance. Your father didn't tell you everything. It was to protect you. You should know that he was very thoughtful. If he were here, think about it, which answer would he let you choose?"
"If it's the first answer, you nod once; if it's the second answer, you nod twice." Lu Ming smiled.
Big Renault shook his head in pain.
Lu Ming frowned and looked at Catherine beside him: "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't touch you at all, okay? You know it yourself, I was just pretending, it's called dislocation in the movies, but I did it on purpose to humiliate you."
Catherine had been staring at Lu Ming with hatred, and now she was whimpering even more, as if she wanted to say something.
Lu Ming shook his head and ignored her, looking at Big Renault, "If you still don't give me an answer, I'm leaving. Next time you come in, I might give you a different choice. After all, the situation outside is changing all the time."
After saying that, Lu Ming stood up and wanted to leave.
"Woo woo woo," the big Renault made a sound.
Lu Ming turned around, only to see him closing his eyes in pain, then slowly nodding his head.
Lu Ming hummed, "It's a wise choice. The Renault family will have successors. Your father will be proud of your choice."
Big Renault seemed to have lost all his strength, and slowly collapsed to the side.
