Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

If Zhang Weiguo had not intervened, according to the historical trajectory, Peter Godber would have been caught by the British police in 74. At that time, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was less than two months away from being established.

Being arrested by the British police does not mean that you can be taken back to Hong Kong Island. The extradition process is enough for Godber to destroy the evidence.

Even in his previous life, it took seven months for Godber to be handed over to the Hong Kong police by the British police, which was due to a lot of public pressure. In addition, in order to prevent people from accusing him of protecting his own officials, the Hong Kong government in his previous life specially found a Chinese judge, Yang Tieliang, to preside over Godber's corruption case.

Godber had been the Chief Superintendent of Police in Hong Kong Island for so many years, and he had many disciples and interest groups associated with him. When Yang Tieliang first took over the Godber case, he received many threats.

This threat came not only from the forces and interest groups associated with Peter Godber, but also from many Hong Kong Island residents. According to Yang Tieliang's memoirs, during the time he was trying Peter Godber, he received hundreds of threatening letters from people who wanted him to severely punish him.

This is not to help him get away with the crime, but to severely sentence Godber.

In fact, Yang Tieliang was also helpless at the time. It took the Hong Kong government seven months to extradite Godber, and he had been on the run for a year, so the evidence had long been destroyed. In order to convict Godber, Yang Tieliang did not accuse Godber of embezzling more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars, but resolved the issue through civil litigation.

In fact, it is not that they are unwilling, but that they have no evidence. The evidence previously collected by the Hong Kong government has long been destroyed by Peter Godber and his interest groups and cannot serve as valid evidence at all.

Despite this, Yang Tieliang still sent Godber to prison for four years through a civil lawsuit of 2.5 Hong Kong dollars. Of course, Godber probably had a good life during these four years.

Although Peter Godber was successfully sentenced by Yang Tieliang, many Hong Kong citizens still believe that the sentence given to him was too light. However, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has a different view.

You have to know that Peter Godber was the Chief Superintendent of Hong Kong Island before his retirement. Being able to sentence such a high-ranking official is itself an achievement of the ICAC. It also sends a signal to all Hong Kong Island residents.

Look! We have imprisoned a senior police superintendent from the British Empire. So our ICAC is really doing its job and is not afraid of power. No matter if they are Chinese or Japanese, whether they are senior officials or junior police officers, as long as they are corrupt, they will be investigated by our ICAC.

After the Peter Godber corruption case, the ICAC launched a war against corruption within the Hong Kong police. Many Hong Kong films we have seen in later generations portray the ICAC as a threat to corrupt officials. Among them, the four Chinese inspectors of Hong Kong, Lui Lok, Ngan Hung, Han Sen and Lam Kong, appeared the most.

This is how the story of the famous 5 million inspector Lui Lok came about.

But compared to Lui Lok, Godber is still a little bit behind. Look at his 5 million! As a Chief Superintendent, Godber is not as greedy as a Chinese Inspector.

This also has to do with the benefits of the Zhonghua Group. You should know that at that time, the salary of a senior superintendent was only more than 1000 Hong Kong dollars, while an ordinary employee of the Zhonghua Heavy Industry Factory could earn 800 Hong Kong dollars, and outstanding employees could earn 1200 Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, outstanding employees could also get a year-end bonus of 5000 Hong Kong dollars.

However, Zhang Weiguo personally intervened in this life, so he would naturally not give Godber such a long period of freedom and only four years of civil litigation.

Not long after Godber arrived at the British Empire, a team of local police officers came to his door.

"Are you Godber?" a tall police officer with blond hair and blue eyes asked.

Gerber looked at the man in front of him and the team members who stood up and were ready to draw their guns at any time, and said sincerely: "I am Gerber."

"That's fine. Here's the arrest warrant. Come with us!" The police officer showed the arrest warrant to Gerber, and then said to the team members behind him, "Please get our Chief Superintendent in the car."

Godber has been the Chief Superintendent of Police for so many years that he can still tell the authenticity of an arrest warrant, but from the other party's tone it is obvious that he knows his identity.

"Who is looking for trouble with me?" Gerber pondered.

Since he dared to return to the British Empire, he must have arranged everything long ago, and the interest groups related to him would also help cover it up.

"Who is it?" Gerber was still thinking about this question after being taken into the police car.

If Zhang Weiguo knew who it was, he would definitely smile and say, "Who else could it be? Of course it's your good councillor of the Sun Never Sets."

As a person who has an interest in the Flower Planting Group, he makes tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profit every year by relying on the discounts on the products of the Flower Planting Group. He just asked the other party to capture a retired Peter Godber.

What's more, Zhang Weiguo had prepared sufficient evidence for him. Ge Bo probably never thought that his reputation would be ruined because of the greed of one of his subordinates after he had been so wise all his life.

Peter Godber was soon taken back to the police station and was told by the British police that he would be extradited to Hong Kong Island for trial soon because he had embezzled 2700 million Hong Kong dollars.

Upon hearing the figure of 2700 million Hong Kong dollars, Peter Godber was extremely surprised, as this was almost close to the actual amount of his embezzlement, which was 3217.789 Hong Kong dollars.

It seems that someone has messed up this matter. Was it those interest groups? Or the investigation team? Or even the Governor of Hong Kong?

Godber kept searching in his heart, trying to find out who was targeting him. Godber did not beg for mercy from those British policemen. Having been a chief superintendent for so many years, Godber knew very well that these people were just pawns. Only by finding the real person behind the scenes could the current problem be solved.

I just don't know if the person behind the scenes wants his money or his life?

Just as Gerber was thinking of a solution in his mind, the police officer in the police station spoke.

"Gober, come with us."

"Go? Where are we going?" Gerber asked puzzledly.

He had only been in this police station for less than 2 hours. Did he have to be transferred to another police station? Godber did not think of going to Hong Kong Island. He was very clear about the efficiency of the police station. Even if the extradition process was green light, it would take a week to complete.

Looking at the puzzled Godber, the police officer said casually: "Where else can you go? Of course, I will send you to the Hong Kong Island Police Station."

"What!!"

Gerber was completely shocked, and his expression changed back and forth.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! No wonder he went after his own queen this time, otherwise how could he be so efficient."
