Episode 9 recap: Li Wen Bo seized firearms and confronted Zhuang Lao Da head-on.
Dang Xun Qi and Zhuang Lao Da's transaction time and location were known to Li Wen Bo in advance, so by the time they began the transaction, Li Wen Bo had already rushed over with his men. After an intense gun battle, the many police officers had the suspects surrounded. Not only were the people captured by Li Wen Bo and taken back to the police station, but the goods were also taken away, leaving Dang Xun Qi furious.
In addition, Zhuang Lao Da's most trusted and reliable strong brother was also arrested by Li Wen Bo. At this time, Li Wen Bo was interrogating the strong brother in the interrogation room, warning him not to think he could really withstand this, even if it was out of brotherly righteousness to protect Zhuang Lao Da, as he could withstand this for over a hundred years in prison.
Dang Xun Qi instructed Wu Ya Ming to find someone to replace A Biao, and have A Biao take the goods to Pier No. 2 to meet with Zhuang Lao Da. Because these goods were Dang Xun Qi's entire livelihood, Dang Xun Qi reminded Wu Ya Ming to be very careful, but Li Wen Bo soon received intelligence that there would be a firearms transaction at the pier that night.
That night, Cha Liang Jie had already led his men to set up an ambush near the pier, and as soon as A Biao and Zhuang Lao Da's men the strong brother met, they immediately moved in and surrounded them. After a gunshot, Li Wen Bo also rushed over, and the two sides engaged in an intense gun battle, ultimately resulting in the arrest of the strong brother's group, with both the people and the firearms being taken back to the police station.
Wu Ya Ming took the opportunity to escape and report the situation to Dang Xun Qi, causing Dang Xun Qi to be furious. The top priority was to have someone go to the police station to investigate, notify A Biao to hold on as much as possible, and Dang Xun Qi would figure out a way to rescue him. In this way, Dang Xun Qi's entire assets were lost, and Zhuang Lao Da suffered heavy losses as well.
Inside the police station, A Biao and the strong brother were interrogated separately. Li Wen Bo first had someone beat up the strong brother, and when the time was right, he came in to interrogate the strong brother, warning him not to think he could really withstand this, even if it was out of brotherly righteousness to protect Zhuang Lao Da, as he could withstand this for over a hundred years in prison.
In contrast, A Biao played dumb, pretending not to know anything, and both sides of the interrogation yielded no results.
Tong Jiang Nan told Zhang Shao Mu about his plan to return to China, but Zhang Shao Mu intentionally misled Tong Jiang Nan and Tong Sheng into thinking that Su Xing was a Kuomintang spy, and warned Tong Sheng not to meet with Su Xing again.
At this moment, Su Xing was still being detained by the police station, and he was deeply aware that the enemy had used despicable means to trap him, which meant they had already prepared a new plan targeting Tong Jiang Nan. Thinking of the safety of Tong Jiang Nan and Tong Sheng, he was extremely anxious.
Zhou Ya Ming quickly contacted a Mr. Huang, the owner of some paintings, in order to rescue Su Xing, and was willing to spend a lot of money to purchase the "Letter from Wu Yu" from him. However, Mr. Huang told Zhou Ya Ming that the painting was no longer in his possession, but had already been extorted by the gang boss Zhuang Lao Da.
Due to the stubbornness of Strong Brother and A Biao, the case investigation reached an impasse, so Li Wen Bo decided to find clues from Zhuang Lao Da, and ordered the immediate sealing of Zhuang Lao Da's dock. After learning this, Zhuang Lao Da was very angry, and could only ask someone to bribe the superintendent of the English Bureau to help him.
Sure enough, the English Bureau superintendent, swayed by the money, believed Zhuang Lao Da's words and ordered Li Wen Bo to release the person. Although Zhou Ya Ming believed that only by finding the painting by Wen Zheng Ming could they bribe the English Bureau, given that Su Xing had just been arrested, they could not afford to provoke and offend Zhuang Lao Da in their current situation.
Tong Sheng was distracted at work due to the disappearance of Luo Guan Ying, and when Zhang Shao Mu came to show concern, she evaded his questions. Li Wen Bo received the order from the English Bureau, but he and Cha Liang Jie did not want to release the person, so they went to find Zhuang Lao Da again and directly broke into Zhuang Lao Da's mansion.
Zhuang Lao Da naturally did not dare to openly offend Li Wen Bo, and could only smile apologetically as Li Wen Bo and Cha Liang Jie warned him that he would not be able to resolve the matter simply by paying money, and that he would be in trouble if he didn't cooperate. Li Wen Bo directly stated the purpose of this visit, reminding Zhuang Lao Da that according to Hong Kong's laws, his crimes of smuggling firearms would have him spend the rest of his life in prison.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Lao Da looked at Li Wen Bo and claimed that he had no knowledge of the dock matter, but Li Wen Bo did not buy it, reminding him that he must think carefully, and that without their cooperation, his business at the dock would not be able to continue.
