Chapter 140 This Is Right
It’s okay for Godber to say that he is nothing more than a foreigner face, and that guy named Edward looks like the American who got the Chinese green card and then showed off on the Internet.
And Bell, who was anxious to find the five foreign affairs personnel, said to Godber and Edward, regardless of politeness and concealment.
"This is Henry Lee, Her Majesty Philip's closest royal advisor, Charles, Andrew, Her Royal Highness Anne's closest friends,
I'm a business partner with the Duke of Grosvenor, Geoffrey, Fred, and a dozen others.
Moreover, Henry not only has the strength to buy a 2.2 million pound villa on Kensington Garden Street.
In commercial streets such as Oxford and Regent, there are super rich people who own more than a dozen properties.”
Li Changheng didn't pay much attention to Bell's bragging about him.
Ever since he appeared at the royal family's hunting estate at the hunting ceremony on the second day of Christmas last year, the relationship between him and Anne has been hidden among the English nobles.
As long as Godber and Edward are willing to take the time to inquire, they can always hear some rumors.
When the two of them heard that Li Changheng was Annie's closest friend, they probably understood in their hearts, and looked at him with respect and envy immediately.
The royal family is suppressed in England, but outside of England, it has great influence because of the name of the royal family.
It can be said that among colonial officials like Godber and Edward, there is no one who does not want to obtain a knighthood, and a person who is very close to the royal family is the best help.
After hearing that the 2.2 million pound house was ready to buy, and there were more than a dozen properties in the most prosperous commercial street in London, the two felt jealous and helpless in their hearts.
Godber has been a policeman in Spice Harbor since the 1950s. He thinks his wealth is not small, but seven or eight million Hong Kong dollars divided by 16 is only 400,000 to 500,000 pounds.
It can't even compare to a quarter of other people's houses.
As for the younger Chief Inspector Edward, his worth is not worth a few million Hong Kong dollars, even 1 million is enough.
Seeing Godber and Edward, Bell became more respectful, and continued with a smile at the corner of his mouth, "So, gentlemen, you don't have to worry about the importance and legality of this operation at all.
Once someone does meritorious deeds, I promise to help them apply for transfer back to big cities such as London and Liverpool.
And if someone is wounded, Henry will pay an extra bonus to those who are brave."
Surprised and hesitant expressions suddenly appeared on the faces of the two of them.
To be honest, all the police in England are loyal to Philip, and Downing Street rarely cares about their internal promotions.
The means by which the Police Department of England can really be constrained is funding.
If there is a relationship with the royal family, returning to England to serve is of course more promising than Spice Harbor.
The only thing that makes it difficult for them to choose is that when they have a future, it is difficult to say what the future of money is.
"Wait," Li Changheng stared at Bell and asked, "Although I promised His Majesty Philip to help England recover those five foreign affairs personnel, who told you that I will pay for this?"
"Don't be so stingy, Henry, isn't it tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of pounds? Are you so fussy?"
Bell looked at Li Changheng with envy and contempt and said, "Before you came, His Majesty Philip told me personally that as long as someone is rescued, you will be able to obtain the Knight Commander Medal and truly become a knight and a member of the nobility.
If such a good thing falls on me, let alone one hundred thousand pounds, even two hundred or three hundred thousand pounds will be fine."
Li Changheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Do you think I need this kind of second-class knight title that isn't even first-class?"
Bell, Godber, and Edward immediately thought that once Li Changheng married Annie, he would at least be awarded the Knight Grand Cross among the five orders of knighthood.
If the contribution is even greater, or even just to promote the progress of a certain aspect of England, it is not impossible to not only obtain the title of Life Baron, but also the Order of the Garter, the highest honor system with only 24 in England.
The Order of the Garter, to put it bluntly, is the King's exclusive Knights, and Philip has the right to directly award members of the royal family without the proposal of Downing Street.
As an NMD-related account, the three of them cursed inwardly.
After shaking hands with Godber and Edward and saying hello.
Li Changheng put away his smile and said, "Gentlemen, it is less than 60 hours before the stock market opens at 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning in London time.
So, I don't care what method you use, if I don't see the leaders of the biggest flour sellers in Spice Harbor after 2 hours.
Otherwise, I guarantee London will consider launching a proposal for a special investigation into the bribery of police officers outside of England."
FK.
Gerber and Edward looked at Li Changheng in surprise, and then glared at Bell who came to them.
Bell shrugged, "Sorry, gentlemen, this is related to the international status of the pound and the economy of England."
Godber sighed in his heart, and said helplessly, "It's already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. The police come to the door at this time to invite someone, and a gun battle is likely to break out. Should we wait until dawn?"
Li Changheng said with a smile, "Why don't you go talk to the short sellers in the stock market and futures market, and ask them to deliver the bearish futures contracts one day later?"
"Just two hours, otherwise, tomorrow Bell and some people from England's foreign affairs department will appear in the witch-corruption department within your system.
Check them first, then you."
Before the establishment of the ICAC, there was an anti-witch department in Spice Harbor. Unfortunately, this group not only joined forces, but also tipped the whistle.
"You have no right to do this," Godber, who was not clean under his ass, said anxiously, "The affairs of Spice Harbor are all in charge of the Federal Affairs Department of the Ministry of Colonization, and the Foreign Affairs Department has no authority to investigate us beyond the department."
Li Changheng smiled and said, "You want me to call His Majesty Philip to confirm whether I have the right to ask for your assistance, or even order you directly?
Or the Downing Street gang, the bosses who need to be angry because of the pound exchange rate and the Bank of England, send you a telegram in person? "
"Sir," Edward grabbed Godber, then nodded seriously to Li Changheng, "Two hours, I guarantee that within two hours, people will appear in front of you."
Seeing the confident Li Changheng, after Godber calmed down, he also understood that not to mention him as a police superintendent, even Hong Kong's "capital" had to do everything possible to assist in rescuing the five foreign affairs personnel.
After leaving the suite, Godber said to Edward with a cold face, "Tell the chiefs of the Wanchai and New Territories police stations to order Lei Nuo, Yan Tong, and Lan Jiang to be on standby from now until next Tuesday.
Otherwise, if I'm called back to London for an investigation, I promise to get rid of them as Inspector before I go. "
"Understood, sir."
Edward was in the hotel lobby and made a few phone calls.
For a while, all the detectives, whether they were asleep or happy in the nightclub, were all called back to the police station one by one, and then a large number of uniformed police and plainclothes entered various blocks.
At one o'clock in the night, Li Changheng, Bell, Godber and Edward got into the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud of the Peninsula Hotel and arrived at the Kowloon Police Station.
From a distance, the police station was not only full of police officers wearing green short-sleeved and shorts uniforms, but also at least a few hundred people who looked like short mules surrounded the police station.
When the car was parked outside the police station building, a young ghost stepped forward and opened the door.
Li Changheng, who was 1.9 meters tall, was dressed in a slim suit and had shiny hair, was the last one to get out of the car and immediately became the focus of the audience.
