Chapter 5 Who is messing with me?
Li Zishu was eating, Tony was eating too, and next to him were the fat man in his fifties and Ma Wang. The three of them were thinking of countermeasures while eating.
"Li Zishu is not easy to deal with. I wanted to give him a warning today, but he refused to listen. What should I do now? Do I really have to hand him over? If I do, I'll have to follow the rules in the future!" The fat man felt a little uncomfortable. Li Zishu didn't show him any mercy today.
"Pay what? What's there to pay if you don't have money? Just drag it out!" Tony took a bite of his food and glared at the fat man. "Do you really want this little brat to ride on our heads?"
"That's what he said, but he is the heir after all, the chairman of Zhiyuan Group!" The fat man was a little worried. He felt that Zhiyuan's strength was not comparable to theirs.
"Over the years, even if we have no credit, we have worked hard and toiled for the Li family. Yet they have nothing to worry about and have a full stomach. We are the ones who have been at the forefront. What are you afraid of if the old man leaves?" Tony put down his chopsticks with a gloomy face.
"That's right. It's not just us. How many of those other old guys would obey him? They followed the old man a long time ago and worked hard for decades. The Li family is getting richer and richer, and we are still struggling. Who wouldn't object? Now the Li family has only one heir left. As long as we are united, why should we be afraid of him?"
"King Ma is right. Twenty-five percent of the fee, just think about how much money that is? The development of Zhiyuan Group depends entirely on our income. How much can Zhengxing earn? To put it bluntly, it is us, the leaders, who support the brothers in the hall, not the Li family!" Tony squinted his eyes and patted the fat man.
"Let's make it clear first, if we want to drag it, we'll drag it together. Don't do any tricks!" The fat man raised his glass to indicate.
The three of them clinked glasses.
"As long as you don't get scared, when the old man was here, he wouldn't let us do this or touch that. Even if we did it, he would have a piece of it. There's no such good thing. Now that he's gone, we can just let go and do it. I'm contacting Lao Mo, and the goods will come in after we negotiate."
"Haha, don't forget me. My bar has a lot of demand," Ma Wang's eyes lit up. "Li Yuanhang used to forbid us from contacting Lao Mo, saying that he would easily be targeted by EDA and cause trouble for the group."
"I've wanted to do . I used to do it secretly, selling nitrous oxide. Now it's good. You have the source of goods, and we have no shortage of channels." The fat man looked excited.
"That's right. Those old black guys in Central and South America are making a fortune. Why can we just watch? Look at how big the Liu family in Jinshan has become in recent years. The gap between them and Zhiyuan was huge before, but now that they have money, the gap is getting smaller and smaller. Those responsible have been replacing their luxury cars one after another, and what about us?"
"What Ma Wang said is right. We are all here to make money. We don't care about whether it's moral or not. Look at that old uncle Wang. He has been doing it secretly. He has lived better than us in Jinshan Chinatown in recent years. He also gets along well with the Liu family. Damn, we are the ones who have lived the most miserable life under the old uncle's nose."
"Okay, then we'll all get rich!" Tony finished it in one gulp.
"As long as you help us make money, just let me know if there's anything in the future!" Ma Wang also raised his glass.
Tony curled his lips and smiled, "Of course, we've been brothers for so many years!"
Just as he finished speaking, a burly man walked in from the door and came to Tony and whispered.
"What did you say? My ship was inspected? Where is that man?" Tony looked at his men fiercely as if he had stepped on dog shit.
"They were all arrested by the immigration department. The boss of the factory also called me. The immigration department and the FBI are working together! The factory has been shut down!"
"Fuck, do you guys eat shit? Why didn't you get wind of this?" Tony looked depressed.
"This is an FBI-led operation!"
FBI? Tony's face turned grim. "Don't they have anything to do after eating?"
The fat man didn't say anything, and Ma Wang put down his chopsticks. Both of them knew what had happened.
"Everything was fine before, why did you suddenly take action today? Who of you leaked the information?" Tony grabbed his men by the collar.
"No, it's the same as before."
Damn it! Tony let go of his men and said, "Let Ajie take over and tell him that the company won't treat him unfairly!"
The strong man nodded.
Just as I was about to leave, there was a commotion outside the private room.
"What happened again?"
A young man rushed in from outside and said as soon as he entered the door, "Tony, the police from San Lorenzo's Chinatown branch are coming to inspect."
Check? Fuck me. "They never check normally. Did I take the wrong medicine today?"
"It's not just the ones in Chinatown, your restaurants in other neighborhoods have all been checked!"
"Everything has been checked?" Tony's face changed instantly.
"Where's mine?" The Horse King immediately became nervous.
"Yours is not!"
What? Tony's face darkened even more.
"Only checking me? Not Zhiyuan's plate?"
"I just asked someone I know, and he said that the whole of Saint-Lô is being investigated today, but they're only looking at us. The black people from the next block are just watching the joke. They're just across the street, and they're not in trouble, while we candy sellers have all been arrested!"
Why don't you arrest people across the street but only my men?
Tony felt a little overwhelmed, "Are you sure the entire Saint-Lo is only investigating me?"
The subordinate who just came in nodded.
"Fuck!" Tony panicked for the first time. How big was Saint-Lô? A city of millions, it was a paradise for families and factions, teeming with organizations of all sizes. It was a veritable crime city.
But today, the entire San Lorenzo police station is focusing on him alone, turning a blind eye to others. Isn't this a joke? Is fighting crime all about picking numbers ?
"Is there a problem? Why are they targeting you alone?" The fat man couldn't laugh or not laugh.
Ma Wang's expression was stiff. It was fine if the Immigration Bureau and the FBI were involved, but he didn't expect all the branches to get involved. "Did you offend someone, kid?"
"Brother Tony, something bad has happened!" The strong man who had just gone out ran in again.
"What's wrong again?" Tony yelled. He was very annoyed now.
"I wanted to give Ajie some money to make him plead guilty, but the company's accounts were frozen. I called and they said the tax bureau was going to investigate!"
Tax Bureau?
Tony smashed the cup. "We have to file taxes every year. What are they doing?"
"They said our laundry and rental apartments were suspected of laundering funds and tax evasion."
Tony opened his mouth wide, speechless for a long time. Why are they all here together?
God, is there still an IRS?
The two people next to him are already numb!
Just as he was about to speak, the door opened again.
"Damn it, who's messing with me again? Can you tell me all in one breath?" Tony yelled and saw a few white people standing at the door.
"TONY Wu? We are the FBI and need your assistance in the investigation!"
“…”TONY.
Watching Tony being taken away, the Horse King looked at the fat man and said, "I have something else to do. I'll go back first!"
"I have something to do too!"
After saying that, the two of them separated immediately.
As soon as he got on the car, Ma Wang took out his cell phone and made a call.
Xiguanzai, who was chatting with Li Zishu, received a call and looked at Li Zishu awkwardly.
"The Horse King is looking for me!"
"Then you answer it!" Li Zishu said calmly.
Chen Zili obediently clicked on the hands-free mode.
"Chen Zili, what's going on? I know you have an informant at the police station. What's going on today? Is everyone targeting Tony?"
"Speak slowly, what do you mean by everyone is messing with him?" Chen Zili looked at Li Zishu subconsciously.
"All of Tony's places have been raided. The entire San Lorenzo police station is investigating him, as are the immigration department, the FBI, and, oh yeah, the IRS! He was just taken away by the FBI!"
The more Xiguanzi listened, the more speechless he became. "There's even a tax bureau? Oh my god! That's really ruthless!" Fortunately, he was smart enough to surrender early. If you can't beat them, join them. That's the right choice.
He couldn't help but leave the chair, and sitting next to Li Zishu made him feel a little cold.
Is there also a tax bureau? Li Zishu was also puzzled. What does the tax bureau have to do with illegal immigration?
"I reported it! Ma Wang, you and Tony have a good relationship. You even played together after the meeting." Li Zishu said softly from the side.
Ma Wang’s phone almost fell to the ground. Damn you Xiguanzai, you traitor, you are actually next to the boss and using the speakerphone.
What's even more speechless is that Li Zishu didn't care at all and admitted it right in front of his face. What does this mean? It means that he is not afraid of others knowing and is determined to do something to Tony.
No, Ma Wang suddenly thought of what Li Zishu had just said. Did he know that he was with Tony?
Damn it! You, Xiguan boy, are cheating me!
