Chapter 171: Chapter 171: The Unbearable Consequences_1
As he was escorted into the police car by the officers, Lokayev appeared relaxed with a smile on his face.
As they passed Wang Ye by, they heard him mutter softly, "I hope you can still laugh tomorrow."
At those words, Lokayev felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
He retorted defensively, "Are you threatening me?"
Wang Ye didn’t respond but instead lit a cigarette and impassively watched as the three men were shoved into the police car by the officers.
Novich leaned closer to him, speaking hesitantly, "Mr. Mikhail, I can only hold them for twenty-four hours at most on the grounds of aiding the investigation. They will have to be released by tomorrow night. If you would like to get back at them, I can arrange for someone to deal with them in there!"
Wang Ye gently shook his head, "No need. Don’t give them anything to latch onto. Follow your usual procedures. But well..."
He leaned closer to Novich, uttering the rest of the sentence in a low voice.
Novich’s expression fluctuated, but after some consideration, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "No problem! But you’d better get everything done neatly on your end, and try not to..."
"Haha, Mr. Chief, don’t joke around. Did I say I was going to do anything? I don’t know anything, and I definitely won’t do anything!" Wang Ye said flatly.
On hearing this, Novich hastily apologized, "Right, right, I misunderstood. Then, Mr. Mikhail, let’s work together with the police to gather evidence and hopefully bring the arsonist to justice!"
At this point, Big head Kong also walked over.
"Mr. President, what do we do now? If our market keeps getting trashed like this, how can we continue to operate?" he asked.
Truth be told, Big head Kong had some grievances in his heart.
He felt like Wang Ye’s handling of this matter was too harsh and arbitrary, not giving Lokayev and his team any room for maneuver. He was pushing them into a corner!
Perhaps if they’d had a proper discussion, it would not have come to this!
And Wang Ye having Novich arrest Lokayev seemed a bit "childish" to Big head Kong.
Doing so wouldn’t solve the problem, but only exacerbate the conflict between the two parties!
After all, they couldn’t just kill Lokayev and his men in the police station, could they...
Currently, there’s no evidence to link the arson to Lokayev and his men. They will have to be released after a day.
Who knows what they will be up to at that point?
.........
"Don’t worry. You can get in touch with the merchants who signed contracts with us. Let them know that the company’s promises still stand! Whether its personal safety or compensation for property loss, merchants whose shops have been burnt down can tally up the damages, and we will compensate them directly! Moreover, starting tomorrow, events like this won’t happen in the New Sun Market again. That is my guarantee!" Wang Ye resolutely assured.
Big Head Kong was stunned.
He wanted to ask how Wang Ye could be so sure...
But he held back, after all, Wang Ye was the president, and Khodorkovsky’s nephew; he was untouchable.
Having dealt with matters here, Wang Ye got into the car and instructed the driver, "To the Xiao Ying Hotel."
As the car sped down the empty road, Wang Ye laid back in the back seat, eyes closed in rest.
However, his mind remained active, constantly mulling over how to execute his follow-up plans.
And whether he should take that final step!
......
In the penthouse suite of the Xiao Ying Hotel...
Lying on his back, staring blankly at the ceiling, it was anybody’s guess what he was thinking.
Kaja glanced at Wang Ye’s face, reaching out to stroke his forehead, "Have you been overworking yourself lately? I noticed that your brow is always furrowed."
Wang Ye just gave her a silent smile, "Not really, work isn’t that tiring. However, there are some things that even after deciding to do, I still feel somewhat... How should I put it, I feel somewhat uneasy."
After thinking for a while, Kaja said:
"In this country, there’s nothing you can’t do, as long as it brings you advantage! People like your uncle Khodorkovsky, A Bu, Maylov... they’re all successful people, and I doubt they give much thought when confronted with decisions. How will you know it’s not doable unless you try?"
Wang Ye was slightly surprised, he didn’t expect Kaja to be giving him advice.
Even though her words deviated somewhat from his thoughts, they still held universal truth.
He couldn’t speak for Khodorkovsky, but perhaps if A Bu or Maylov were in his shoes, they would’ve made the same decision he did!
Kaja was particularly correct about one thing:
That is, in this country, there is nothing you can’t do...
It’s either you win or lose. The victor takes all!
.........
While Wang Ye was enjoying a moment of tranquility, Lokayev and his men were locked inside a prison cell near the large market...
"Boss, what the hell does that Mikhail mean by what he said when we were getting in the car?" Aiermal asked, clearly uneasy.
"Brother, he wouldn’t be planning to kill us here, right!" Lokayev’s cousin looked frightened as he scanned their surroundings.
Lokayev darkly shook his head and slowly spoke, "He doesn’t have the guts! And besides, that Novich wouldn’t dare to do such a thing either. After all, we were clearly observed when we were brought in. If anything happens to us less than a day later, he won’t be able to shirk responsibility either!"
The other two thought it over and found it made sense. They weren’t unknown criminals; they had valid identities!
Besides, their gang had people backing them, who would stand up for them when the time is right.
"Stop overthinking. I bet that kid was trying to scare us, he’s a coward! Just like his uncle, getting picked on and not even daring to fight back. Haha." Lokayev laughed heartily.
The laughter earned them the ire of the cops outside. One cop banged his baton against the bars, barking, "Suka Column! Quiet!"
Lokayev was unintimidated; he barked back, "Do you fucking know who I am? I’m Lokayev, of the Caucasus People! Boy, you’d better not show up near the large market in the future if you dare to mess with me!"
Truth be told, when it came to dealing with a regular cop, Lokayev wasn’t about to back down, and he was certainly capable of making things difficult for him.
Indeed, after making his affiliation known, the cop stopped provoking him.
"When we get out of here, I’ll make that Mikhail pay for messing with me! He won’t be able to afford the price of crossing me!" Lokayev hissed through clenched teeth, emphasizing each word.
