Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 496 Bending the law for personal gain to save a life? I, Zhao Ruilong, am no spoiled brat!

Zhou Anquan screamed in panic.

The phone also carried the dull sound of a door being slammed shut.

Zhao Ruilong was naturally baffled.

What the hell?

Arrested in a prostitution raid? Call me for help?

Am I, Zhao Ruilong, and you, Zhou Anquan, very familiar?

Didn't you brag before that you were doing pretty well?

How come you got caught soliciting prostitution and now you need me to save you? What happened to your connections in Shenzhen?

If we hadn't bumped into each other during the day and I hadn't gotten my phone number, would you have just surrendered without a second thought?

For a moment, many questions flashed through Zhao Ruilong's mind.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Ruilong put down his phone, turned on the auto-response mode, and asked:

"What's going on? Didn't you say you were doing quite well in Dongguang after being released from prison? Why are you asking me to save you when there's a prostitution crackdown?"

"I have connections in Zhuhai, and in Shenzhen I only know Prince! His place used to be the safest; I could play around like that without any problems. Who knew it would be raided tonight!"

Zhou Anquan spoke urgently, her voice trembling with tears, as if she were terrified.

At this moment, not only was there the sound of banging on the door, but also a majestic roar.

"Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

"You think you'll be safe hiding inside?"

"If you don't come out, you will be suspected of obstructing law enforcement!"

……

Zhao Ruilong and his father Zhao Lichun exchanged a smile.

It's obvious without even asking that this guy is hiding in the bathroom, calling for help.

"Who is the Crown Prince?"

"That guy standing next to me this afternoon, his backer must have run into trouble, otherwise his place wouldn't have been suddenly shut down!"

"If someone can be called 'Prince Brother' and run a brothel in Shenzhen, then his backing must be very powerful. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that his brothel used to be the safest, and you could do whatever you wanted without any problems."

"Hey bro, he's got a powerful backer, but he can't compare to your dad! Now that his place has been shut down, he's probably in deep trouble himself. For the sake of us being cellmates, please help me out!"

"No, you're not afraid of going to jail, so what are you afraid of in a prostitution crackdown? At most, you'll just be detained and fined. Is it really necessary for you to call me in the middle of the night to save you? And for such a trivial matter, you've made me alarm the police chief?"

Zhao Ruilong found Zhou Anquan's behavior very strange.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that the more precious a personal relationship is, the less easily it should be used.

If you're going to use something, use it wisely to solve important problems, not trivial matters.

Both are cases of people seeking help to settle disputes or extricate themselves from crimes; it's understandable if someone who has committed a serious crime asks for your assistance.

What's the big deal about getting caught soliciting prostitution?

You, Zhou Anquan, are not a public figure; you cannot have any stains that would damage your reputation.

He's a convict who's been imprisoned for fraud and has served time in a labor camp. Are you afraid of detention and fines?

According to the current public security punishment standards in China, at most he would be detained for half a month and fined 500 yuan.

After being detained and released, it's not even Chinese New Year yet, what's there to be afraid of?

As for the fine of five hundred yuan...

Does that still count as money for you, Zhou Anquan?

When we were crossing the border at Haomen this afternoon, the money you tried to force on me to show off your wealth was more than five hundred yuan.

There must be only one truth: Zhou Anquan is lying.

really!

Zhao Ruilong's question prompted Zhou Anquan, who was being confronted by someone banging on the door, to confess.

"Good brother, I won't lie to you anymore, I didn't just go to prostitutes, I... I called in a few young and beautiful 'ice girls' for the thrill and fun, some of them were underage..."

Before Zhou Anquan could finish speaking, Zhao Ruilong understood.

For ordinary prostitution, the punishment is usually just detention and a fine.

But people like Zhou Anquan who gather in groups and use drugs...

Among the ice girls recruited, there were also minors.

That's a fucking maxed-out buff!

Zhou Anquan has been imprisoned.

While in prison, he diligently studied many law books.

So he certainly knew that if he were to be arrested, it wouldn't be a matter of administrative punishment.

He has already committed a criminal offense, and the circumstances are particularly egregious.

Because it involves not only gatherings of people, but also drug use and minors.

Given the current climate of severe crackdown on crime, the sentence will be at least five years.

In addition, since he has already served time in prison, committing a second crime will result in a harsher punishment.

He could very well be sentenced to ten years in prison in the first instance.

He had only been out for two years, but thanks to his good mind and great luck, he had made a lot of money again.

They were living a carefree and prosperous life, and of course they didn't want to be arrested again and spend ten or eight years in jail.

They weren't released again until after 2010.

By then, not only will the times have changed, but the people involved will also have grown old.

Is it still possible to make money through Ponzi schemes involving finance or tea?

Having grown accustomed to a comfortable and wealthy life, he clearly didn't want to go back inside.

He knew very well how painful and unbearable life in prison was.

This way.

It makes sense that he would hide in the bathroom and ask himself for help if he didn't want to go to jail.

After all, even the most powerful and influential "Prince" in Shenzhen could have his territories suddenly raided.

Aside from his own powerful background and the fact that he happened to be in Shenzhen, Zhou Anquan obviously couldn't think of anyone else who could save him now.

As for why he was so unlucky?

Prince is usually very safe and can play anywhere he wants, so why was he suddenly raided tonight?

Zhao Ruilong suddenly thought of Liu Jun.

This guy's sudden escape triggered a series of chain reactions.

In order to capture the heinous Liu Jun, a city-wide manhunt was necessary.

Entertainment venues that harbor filth and vice are also a key target for the raids.

Previously, with powerful figures protecting him, no one dared to touch the prince's territory.

But now?

The father, Zhao Lichun, was stationed in Shenzhen, while the deputy director, Li Yihang, personally directed operations.

The newly appointed head of Shenzhen, Fan Zhenhua, not only strongly supports the move, but is even eager to make a big splash.

He had ample motive and reason to take this opportunity to launch a major crackdown and drag a large group of corrupt officials down with him.

Only by ousting a group of people can a position be vacated, allowing him to cultivate his own people through personnel adjustments.

The key is……

Fan Zhenhua previously worked in Shenzhen for many years.

Even though he was transferred to Xiguang for a period of time, he still has connections and a strong foundation in Shenzhen.

Since they have a very clear understanding of the power and capital structure in Shenzhen, and know who is backing which businesses.

Therefore, taking advantage of the capture of the escaped Liu Jun, it would be perfectly reasonable to carry out a large-scale sweep openly, precisely demolish and eliminate dissidents.

Fan Zhenhua's ability to rise through the ranks to become the top leader in the complex web of interests in Shenzhen is clearly not just due to his exceptional flattery skills; his professional competence is also quite remarkable.

He was incredibly skilled at using the situation to his advantage and killing with someone else's help.

only……

Zhou Anquan, who was just an insignificant person, was caught up in this sudden and powerful storm.

His experience perfectly illustrates what it means for a speck of dust in the times to become a mountain on an individual!

But he has no one to blame but himself for this situation.

They act recklessly and excessively just because they have a little money!

Ordinary pleasure-seeking is no longer enough for him.

He actually gathered a group of beautiful women, took drugs, and went on a wild party, not even sparing minors...

Such despicable behavior, even if not caught red-handed today, will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later.

"Hey bro, say something! They keep banging on the door, I can't hold them off any longer!"

Zhou Anquan screamed in a shrill voice.

At this moment, he felt that he was a typical case of extreme joy turning into sorrow.

I ran into Zhao Ruilong during the day, but I didn't know at first how impressive his background and identity were.

Later, he caught up in time, and from Zhuhai he caught up with Zhao Ruilong to Shenzhen to create a chance encounter, and got Zhao Ruilong's phone number.

After discussing with Prince and Lao Zheng that evening how to entertain Zhao Ruilong the next day, I naturally felt confident of victory.

They felt that with their years of prison camaraderie, they could definitely get on Zhao Ruilong's good side and make a fortune from then on.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions!

Now that we've come to the prince's territory, why not have some fun and indulge ourselves?

Especially the beautiful waitresses that the three of them had carefully selected for tomorrow's banquet for Zhao Ruilong—seductive, innocent, and fiery—had already made Zhou Anquan's heart itch.

In addition, his previous wild and unrestrained behavior during beauty pageants and his carefree play had never been investigated. With powerful backers, even if someone died, it wouldn't be a big deal, so he completely let his guard down.

Who would have thought that even the prince's powerful backers would one day become unreliable?

If the place had been suddenly raided and I hadn't reacted even a fraction of a second slower, I would have been pinned down on the spot.

The fact that he can still hide in the bathroom and call Zhao Ruilong for help is already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

But Zhao Ruilong kept delaying his agreement, which naturally drove him crazy with anxiety, like an ant on a hot pan.

In contrast, Zhao Ruilong remained completely calm.

"Now that things have come to this, what else do you want me to say?"

Zhou Anquan shouted, "Tell your dad to call the Shenzhen police and tell them to get rid of these people immediately! Your dad is the Director of Public Security; no one dares to disobey him!"

"..."

Zhao Ruilong chuckled to himself.

When people are extremely speechless, they can indeed laugh out loud.

Zhou Anquan really has the nerve to say that!

For his own personal safety, he actually dared to try to get the police chief to bend the law for him.

Who does he think he is?

Was it because someone had saved his life before, and he felt obligated to repay that debt of gratitude by risking everything?

The problem is that the two only spent a few years in prison together, during which time he took advantage of his "predecessor" quite a few times.

With such a relationship, he actually had the nerve to loudly order his father to order the Shenzhen police to withdraw their team.

At this moment, Zhao Ruilong felt even more strongly that people who love to take advantage of others are indeed selfish and self-serving.

They only think of themselves and never consider others.

Whenever something happens, they want others to help them, regardless of whether it is legal, reasonable, or worth asking for help.

Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but recall that when he was starting his career before he transmigrated and needed help, no one was willing to lend a hand.

After finally achieving some success through hard work, buying a house and a car, once the news spread, some relatives who rarely visited suddenly appeared.

People who borrow money or cars under various pretexts are not considered unusual.

The most bizarre thing is that a distant relative actually said that since she didn't have a partner yet, she might as well transfer the house to her so that her child could attend the prestigious primary school next door.

She said that once she falls in love, gets married, and has children, she will transfer the house back to her. She didn't say she wouldn't help, but she asked her to sign an agreement. She said she was stingy and didn't trust people.

Is this really to make it easier for children to study, or is it just a way to deceive people looking for school district housing? Who knows?

Is it wrong to sign an agreement for personal protection?
