Chapter 617 Cutting
"Should we get the police involved?"
Lin the Fat was a little confused when he heard the suggestion.
"right!"
The Kerry family member nodded and said, "If it is inconvenient for you all to take action personally, we can use our family connections to coordinate with the Hong Kong police and follow the proper procedures to arrest the person directly on the grounds of illegally setting up a temple and endangering public safety."
"Whether you bail him out and let him handle the situation, or let him spend the rest of his life in prison, is up to you!"
He paused, then looked at us and asked, "Is this alright?"
What's not to like?
To be honest, now it's my turn to be dumbfounded. What is this called?
This is called a one-stop service.
Our original plan was to lure the person out, then set an ambush and eliminate them through a battle of wits.
The Kerry family's suggestion was to have the police take action, arrest the person, and then bail them out, with their cooperation in getting the person out and under their control.
Whether we kill or dismember, it's up to us; there's no need for any magical duel.
Their approach not only helped us eliminate the root of the problem but also saved us from the risks of backroom battles, packaging everything as a legitimate law enforcement procedure—clean, efficient, and leaving no room for future trouble.
"Okay, let's do it this way!" Li Donglin nodded.
"good!"
The Kerry family member nodded, took out a business card and handed it over, saying, "Mr. Li, this is my business card. My phone number is on it. Let's keep in touch regarding the follow-up progress!"
"OK!"
Li Donglin took the business card, glanced at it, and nodded.
"Alright, let's go get ready!"
This is what the Kerry family said.
"Okay!" Li Donglin replied calmly.
Two minutes later, after the two families left, Fatty Lin was the first to lose his temper, grabbing Li Donglin's neck and saying, "Brother Li, what happened? Tell me about it!"
"Yeah, Brother Li, we're a bit confused. Your acting was way over the top!" I added.
"Chirp!"
Xiao Ba also cried out, indicating that he didn't understand.
"Let go first!"
Li Donglin shook his neck and said.
"You say so and I'll loosen up!" Fatty Lin said.
"Fine, fine, I'll talk, I'll talk!" Li Donglin said helplessly.
"Speak, hurry up and speak!" Fatty Lin released his grip.
"I didn't do anything special, I just made two phone calls to Beijing!"
Li Donglin straightened his collar and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"You made two phone calls to Beijing?" I asked suspiciously.
"That's right!"
Li Donglin chuckled and said, "I called one of my uncles. Although he's retired, he still has influence. He said a few words on my behalf, and somehow those words reached the ears of the Kerry and Xunsha families. You all saw the rest!"
"Brother Li, you're really good at showing off!" Fatty Lin was impressed.
"Brother Li, I just remembered a line!" I said.
"What lines?" Li Donglin asked.
"A very powerful lady called me!" I said.
"You're quite the conjecturer, but the situation is pretty much as you described!" Li Donglin said calmly.
Some things you think are difficult to handle, and that you might have to pay the price of your life to accomplish them, are actually just a matter of a few words from certain people.
"For centuries-old families like Kerry and Sunsa, what they value most is the longevity of their legacy. They keep that Dondrup to ward off disasters, change their fortune, and stabilize the family's luck!"
Li Donglin glanced at us and began his lecture, "Keeping Dunzhu alive these days is like keeping a ticking time bomb hanging over their family's heads!"
"Instead of doing that, it's better to cut your losses in time and cut ties completely."
"Besides, even without Butcher Zhang, will we still eat hairy pork?"
"They've already thrown out the dhumnades, but they still have other dhumnades!"
"As Hong Taidi himself said, these wealthy families never bet everything on one person!"
He paused, giving us some time to react, and said, "Now you understand?"
"Got it!"
We all nodded at the same time, including Xiao Ba.
For these top-tier wealthy families, there is never any sentimentality, only profit and loss.
If there's profit to be made, provide generous support; if disaster strikes, cut ties decisively, without any hesitation.
"Brother Li, I'm truly impressed."
Fatty Lin let out a breath, looked at Li Donglin with admiration, and said, "Brother Li, I thought we were going to play some kind of trick, some kind of diversionary tactic, but I didn't expect you to pull a fast one on him. That was brilliant!"
"The martial arts world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions!" I added.
Li Donglin smiled smugly and said, "A head-on confrontation is the courage of a brute. My move is to borrow momentum, seize the pulse, and cut off the root, subduing the enemy without fighting. That is the true strategy of a master."
"To put it bluntly, the more established and powerful a family or clan is over a century old, the more they cherish their lives, their luck, and their legacy. They can tolerate others being dirty, but they will never allow themselves to be dragged into the abyss," Long Nier concluded.
"That makes sense!" Li Donglin nodded.
In any case, the play that Li Donglin directed today has taught us another lesson.
Half an hour later, the Kerry and Sunsa families reappeared and invited us to see a play.
After getting into their car, less than twenty minutes later, they were mixed in with a convoy of police cars.
At this point, I understood that they were going to capture Thondup.
Having figured this out, I subconsciously glanced at Fatty Lin. We looked at each other, and at the same time, we understood what was in each other's eyes.
These two families are decisive and efficient in their work, without any hesitation or delay.
A convoy of seven police cars drove straight up the mountainside, blocking the entire mountain road. On suspicion of illegally occupying forest land, setting up an unlicensed religious site, and disturbing public order, they sealed off the private temple in public and took the abbot, Dunzhu, away for questioning on the spot.
Dondrup was caught off guard; he never expected to be abandoned by the very forces that supported him.
When he was put into the police car, he looked shocked and incredulous, and threatened the police officers who brought him into the car several times.
"Mr. Li, according to regulations, Dunzhu will be released on bail in 24 hours, and we will then put him in your car!"
After watching Dunzhu being taken away, the Kerry family member said to Li Donglin.
"good!"
Li Donglin nodded.
During those 24 hours, the Hong Kong Island Police Station followed procedures meticulously, taking statements as required and proceeding with detention as necessary, without any favoritism or oversight, completely solidifying the illusion of a legitimate case-handling operation.
The two families arranged for lawyers to meet with Dunzhu to reassure him and tell him not to worry. They said that he was arrested because someone had their eye on the land where the temple was located, and that he would be released on bail in no more than 24 hours.
The lawyer wasn't lying, because that's exactly what the Kerry family told him.
Dunzhu never imagined that Li Donglin, who had been battling him in the mountain town, would follow him all the way to Hong Kong Island. All of this was just a scheme by the Kerry and Sunsa families to sever ties with him.
