Chapter 164: He's really messed things up; Lei Luo is ready to run away.
Is this old man even human? Is he some kind of god?
Immediately afterwards, Robert and his wife got dressed and went downstairs to check on the people who had been knocked unconscious.
As expected, everyone inside the villa was only knocked unconscious; none of them died.
Seeing this, Robert was completely devastated.
In fact, Robert wielded considerable power.
In Hong Kong, he didn't need to listen to anyone except the Governor.
It can be said that he was second only to the emperor, and above 30,000 others.
Because there are exactly 30,000 snakes in Hong Kong.
Such immense power, such an impressive status. At first, he was just going through the motions with Lao Mo.
He figured that if he could fool Old Mo into letting them go, he would then mobilize all the police in Hong Kong to issue a warrant for Old Mo's arrest.
But now, he dares not think that way anymore.
It's always better to befriend such a terrestrial deity than to be his enemy.
With Old Mo so confident, who knows if he'll be able to suddenly appear in his bedroom again next time?
No, this is not a question, it is an affirmative statement.
Thinking of this, he immediately went to the lobby, picked up the phone, and dialed the number.
In fact, it's already getting light.
"Investigate! Investigate immediately! Is Hunter dead? And is Hunter's entire family dead? Keep the information confidential for now, and await my orders."
"Yes, sir."
The person on the other end of the phone immediately agreed. Then, they immediately got to work.
Just over ten minutes later, the phone rang at Robert's house.
Robert answered the phone and asked, "How is it? Has something happened to the entire Hunter family?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded panicked: "Yes. The entire Hunter family of sixteen died silently in their home. Including their security guards, they were all dead."
That's so strange. If you hadn't asked me to investigate, I doubt anyone would have known by noon!
Hunter is also dead. Last night, Kowloon Walled City launched a surprise attack on the New Territories and occupied the New Territories overnight.
I heard that Hunter was also there, and was hacked to pieces by a man named Old Mo. I heard his body was thrown into the sea to feed the fish…
Hearing these words, Robert felt a chill run down his spine. These ancient Easterners were indeed not so simple.
Robert said, "William, I've investigated the matter thoroughly. It wasn't that old man, Mo Gan. Find a scapegoat right now, give him some money, and have him take the blame. Give the public an explanation."
"What?"
The person on the other end of the phone was taken aback.
William was no ordinary man either; he was Robert's top general, practically the second-in-command.
He couldn't understand why Robert had closed the case so hastily.
"Sir, does this seem inappropriate?"
Robert said directly, "William, execute the order immediately. Don't ask so many questions. This is an order. I'll tell you why when the time is right."
This shows that Robert trusted William very much.
William immediately stood at attention and said loudly, "Yes, sir."
"Oh, right."
Robert continued, "That Chief Detective Inspector Lei Luo did a good job. Immediately issue him a letter of appointment, promote him to Chief Superintendent, and put him in charge of all Chinese police officers in Hong Kong, giving him full responsibility for the security of Hong Kong."
Robert is quite a character. Since he's already compromised, and since he wants to please Old Murdoch, he might as well try to please him even better.
Old Mo only asked for the rank of police superintendent, but Robert directly gave him the rank of chief superintendent, two ranks higher.
Robert sees it differently. Giving it to the superintendent is a compromise born of necessity.
He gave him a two-level promotion, which meant that Robert had given it to him voluntarily, indicating that he was trying to curry favor with him.
In fact, Robert knew that for someone like Rello, rank really didn't matter.
Regardless of his police rank, as the Chief Detective Inspector, he still oversees all the Chinese spies, and his power remains virtually unchanged.
Of course, there are other benefits to having a higher police rank.
As the top CP (couple pairing) influencer, this is something he can decide with a single word.
"What? Chief Superintendent? Sir, did I hear that right?"
William asked in surprise.
Robert said, "You heard me right, it's the Chief Superintendent. Don't ask any more questions, just write the letter of appointment immediately. Have it delivered to Reilly's office before morning. Understand?"
"Yes, sir."
William immediately stood at attention and said.
William was helpless. Although he was the deputy director, his role was practically the same as that of a lowly servant in front of Robert.
Old Mo returned to Kowloon Walled City, greeted Wu Shih-hao, and then slept soundly until dawn.
He knew the nature of these Englishmen.
Unless Robert is willing to quit or even risk his life, he will definitely agree to his conditions.
Who could withstand someone who knows magic and can disappear on the spot?
Sure enough, Wu Shih-hao spent the whole night in fear, but nothing happened.
Old Mo woke up, checked his watch, gave Wu Shih-hao and the Su brothers some instructions, and drove his Mercedes to the police station.
In fact, Lei Luo also couldn't sleep all night, and the next day at dawn, he came to work with dark circles under his eyes.
Piggy also arrived at Lei Luo's office early and stood in front of Lei Luo's desk.
"Brother Le, I just received news. The entire Hunter family of sixteen was wiped out overnight last night."
Lei Luo closed his eyes, patted his forehead, and took a deep breath.
My head hurts!
He, a chief detective, was completely outmaneuvered by Old Mo. But now that he was on the wrong path, there was nothing he could do.
Hunter is a foreigner, and the fact that his family was wiped out is none of his business as the Chief Detective.
Of course, he doesn't need to handle the actual situation, but when it comes to taking the blame, he'll definitely be the one they find.
That's it, looks like I'm not going to stay in this position.
"Little Piggy, don't go to work today either. Go home and pack your things. I've already made arrangements. If necessary, we'll quit together and run away!"
The little lard was stunned.
"Brother Le, has it really come to this?"
"Ugh!"
Lei Luo sighed helplessly and said, "What else can we do? Killing one foreigner is one thing, but now you've killed his whole family. Do you think I can protect him?"
Fortunately, we are not deeply involved in this matter; at most, we will only be dismissed from our posts.
Sigh, I want to protect him too, but he's disobedient and reckless. What can I do?
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Old Mo swayed in.
"Brother Le, are you really that pessimistic? Hehe..."
Lei Luo and Piggy were speechless when they saw him.
He was the highest-ranking of the three, and he naturally assumed that he, Lei Luo, should bear all the blame.
Lei Luo wasn't pessimistic; this was a disaster, and he couldn't handle it!
Now, he has no choice but to sit here and wait for the gun to fire.
