Late at night.
Xia Zhixian rushed to the Jock Club. He almost choked when he saw the Jock Club's vault that had been ransacked.
Fortunately, Lin Yifan killed all the robbers and recovered most of the cash.
In the end, after the staff of the Joche Club counted, they only lacked 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Mr. Xia, the final exit of the sewer is the sea. The lost money is likely to have been washed into the sea.”Lin Yifan said.
Xia Zhixian nodded." It's already beyond my expectations that we can recover 1.9 billion Hong Kong dollars."”
"Sir Lin, your clothes are all wet. Why don't you come to my office to warm up?”Xia Zhixian invited him.
"Alright." Lin Yifan didn't suspect anything and followed Xia Zhixian into his office.
"Sir Lin, drink some water first. I'll go call the board of directors.”Xia Zhixian handed Lin Yifan a cup of hot water.
"It's okay. You go ahead." Lin Yifan took the hot water and sat on the sofa to rest. He was a little tired after a busy night, so he simply leaned against the sofa to take a nap.
About ten minutes later, Xia Zhixian finished the call and returned to his office.
"Sir Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.”Xia Zhixian picked up two wine glasses and walked to the wine rack to take out a bottle of top-notch red wine. He poured two glasses of red wine.
"Sir Lin, please."
"Thank you." Lin Yifan took the wine glass.
Xia Zhixian sat back in his chair and took out a check from the drawer. He placed it on the table and pushed it toward Lin Yifan.
"Mr. Xia, what do you mean?”Lin Yifan couldn't help but frown when he saw Xia Zhixian's actions.
"Sir Lin, it's been hard on you today. You helped our Jock Club recover 1.6 billion Hong Kong dollars.”
"Although a portion of the cash was destroyed by the criminals, the overall loss was not great.”
"This five million yuan cheque is a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it.”
Lin Yifan raised his eyebrows. Damn, he had worked so hard to hide 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
Xia Zhixian pocketed 300 million Hong Kong dollars with a wave of his hand. He was even blacker than a crow.
"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry. I'm a police officer. The education I received at the police academy doesn't allow me to do such a thing.”
Xia Zhixian's face stiffened. He didn't expect Lin Yifan to reject his bribe without hesitation.
This was five million Hong Kong dollars. Lin Yifan, a small inspector, could not earn so much even if he worked until he retired.
"Sir Lin, why don't you reconsider? This is five million."
"Mr. Xia, I'm a police officer. I don't want money of unknown origin.”
Lin Yifan pushed the check in front of him back.""Mr. Xia, you swallowed 400 million Hong Kong dollars with a wave of your hand. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Be careful that the ICAC invites you to the headquarters of the Independent Committee Against Corruption for coffee.”
Xia Zhixian was a smart man and immediately understood what Lin Yifan meant.
He couldn't accept money of unknown origin?
Should he accept money with a clear background?
The main point of Lin Yifan's sentence was not that he could not accept it, but that the money could not be unknown.
Since that was the case, there was still a chance for both sides to cooperate.
"Sir Lin, there will be a horse race in a few days. You just need to buy any horse and the money will be transferred into your account in a very legal way.”
"And you only need to write in the operation report that 400 million Hong Kong dollars in the vault was burned during the robbery, and the 1.6 billion Hong Kong dollars that were robbed by the robbers were all recovered by you.”
"Wouldn't that make your operation report even more beautiful, and it would be more beneficial to you, wouldn't it?”Xia Zhixian smiled and pushed the check over.
"I don't like horse racing." Lin Yifan shook his head.”
Xia Zhixian's expression changed. He had already made it so clear, but Lin Yifan still refused to give him face.
"But I like horses." Lin Yifan changed the topic and said regretfully,"I've always wanted to have my own race horse, but unfortunately, I haven't had the money to buy a race horse for so many years, let alone train and feed it.”
Xia Zhixian raised his eyebrows. He thought that Lin Yifan was righteous and clean.
He didn't expect that Lin Yifan's appetite was too big. He didn't take a fancy to the five-million-dollar check but had his eyes on the horse race.
One had to know that even the most ordinary horse would cost one million Hong Kong dollars.
The price of a pure-blooded horse could even reach tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Moreover, this was not counting the training and feeding expenses. These two expenses were the biggest.
If the cost of training and feeding were included, the combined price of an ordinary horse would be more than five million Hong Kong dollars.
"Sir Lin, if you don't mind, I'd like to make a phone call.”Xia Zhixian couldn't make the decision, so he could only call his superiors for instructions.
"Mr. Xia, please go ahead."
Xia Zhixian stood up and left the office with his mobile phone. He went outside to call the chairman of the Horse Club and told him about Lin Yifan's request.
"Isn't it just a horse? Give it to him.”The voice of the Chairman of the Horse Club came from the other end of the phone.
"But he still wants us to be responsible for the training and feeding of the horses. This way, we will have to pay far more than five million.”Xia Zhixian said hesitantly.
The chairman of the Jocelyn Club said with a serious expression,"Although the cost of a horse, training, and feeding is more than five million, it goes through the public account of the Jock Club. We don't have to spend a single cent ourselves.”
"Although this five million is not much, it's our own money. Don't you understand what we should do?”
"I understand." Xia Zhixian quickly nodded.
"Also, give Lin Yifan the status of a lifetime honorary member of the Horse Club. Treat it as an investment for Lin Yifan. He might be useful in the future, and it will make the gift of horses more reasonable.”
"I'll do it immediately." Xia Zhixian could feel the resolute attitude of the chairman of the Jock Club committee on the other side of the phone. He immediately returned to his office after hanging up the phone.
"Sir Lin, after a discussion by the Jar Committee, the Jar Committee has decided to grant you the honor of a lifetime member of the Jar Committee. We will also gift you a race horse. All the training and feeding expenses of the race horse will be borne by the Jar Committee.”
"I hope you like this gift.”
Lin Yifan stood up and shook hands with Xia Zhixian.""I like this gift very much."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They had both achieved their goals.
The Jocelyn Club committee pocketed 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and as a director, Xia Zhixian also received 60 million Hong Kong dollars.
Not only did Lin Yifan pocket 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but he also got an expensive horse.
One had to know that this horse was equivalent to a golden rice bowl. In the future, the prize money won from the horse race would become Lin Yifan's legitimate income.
Moreover, the training and feeding costs of the race horses were borne by the Jar Association. Lin Yifan had basically gotten a race horse for free.
As for the lifetime honorary membership granted by the Joust Club, it was insignificant. Other than allowing Lin Yifan to act tough on certain occasions, there were no other practical benefits.
