Chapter 505: Chapter 504: Joint Inspection

Joint law enforcement is when staff from several related departments come together and then take unified action, arriving at a certain enterprise and carrying out a full range of inspections.

Of course, this kind of joint law enforcement occurs mostly before the New Year or holidays; it barely exists at other times, because the emphasis from the state before these occasions is also on safety.

Many people from New Century came, more than twenty, dressed in various department uniforms, with a uniformed middle-aged man leading them.

"Who tore off the seal outside?" The leader had an air of authority without anger, occupying the lobby upon his arrival with a formidable presence.

Yusuf Zuck was about to speak when Ruth Wilcox pulled him back, then she stepped forward and said, "We don’t know, was the seal torn down? This is unrelated to us."

"Openly defying the law, showing no respect for regulations, Ms. Wilcox, please come with us for an investigation. Your New Century has some serious issues!" the leader scolded with the tone of an elder, implying he didn’t wish to see today’s situation either.

Seeing the leader alternating between severity and regret, Yusuf Zuck immediately stood up. Which son of a bitch was scheming behind the scenes?

"Leader, what issues does New Century have?" Yusuf Zuck said with a cold voice.

"Who are you? What do you do?" the leader demanded sharply.

"I’m the chairman of New Century. I would like to know what the serious issues at New Century are. Also, if you don’t give me an explanation today and compensate New Century for its losses, don’t blame me for being rude!" Yusuf Zuck was geared up for a big fight right now. These joint law enforcement officers were clearly guns in the hands of some sneaky villains.

"You are the chairman of New Century?" the leader was taken aback. A young man was the chairman of this five-star hotel?

But no matter who the chairman was, he was simply carrying out orders.

"Your sanitation is not up to standard, there are instances of tax evasion, fire safety facilities are outdated, and you harbor women of ill repute. Are these issues not serious?" the leader was skilled at nitpicking faults like these.

Yusuf Zuck snorted, "What you say or I say doesn’t matter. You claim sanitation is not up to standard, then you should bring out the quarantine report; speaking of tax evasion, you need evidence for that too. As for fire safety equipment, I remember it was replaced just half a year ago, right? I was here at that time, and I remember clearly. Ms. Wilcox just took office and focused on safety. The firefighting equipment and extinguishers we purchased were from the fire department. Are you saying their expiration date is less than half a year?"

"We also have a fire escape."

"As for harboring women of ill repute, this place is a store that provides lodging; when they come here to register and stay, their identity cards do not have the words ’woman of ill repute,’ so it seems like you, leader, are intentionally making things difficult for us!"

"Please don’t make irresponsible remarks; we enforce the law impartially, watch your language." The leader, righteous in his speech, looked at Yusuf Zuck as if he truly were fair and impartial. He then sneered, "Since you’re the chairman here, you and Ms. Wilcox please come with us to assist with the investigation."

"Whoosh—" Three police officers in uniform stepped forth behind them; the joint operation involved many departments, so the officers promptly moved forward to escort Yusuf Zuck and Ruth Wilcox away.

"Alright, alright, I’ll go with you, but whoever is plotting against me behind my back, I will settle the score with them. And you all, just wait and see!" Yusuf Zuck was furious. He had just returned to the country and encountered such a frustrating incident. Did some people truly think he, Yusuf Zuck, was dead?

"Don’t get angry; they wanted money before, but I didn’t agree," Ruth Wilcox whispered to Yusuf Zuck.

"Let’s go." The three policemen did not handcuff Yusuf Zuck and Ruth Wilcox or anything of that sort; after all, they hadn’t committed a crime but were merely involved in a hotel issue. Once they cooperated with the investigation and paid a hefty fine, they could reopen for business.

Yusuf Zuck turned to look at Paisley Kirk, who was anxious, and said, "We’re fine. I said earlier that I wanted to book the restaurant; I really am inviting people to dinner tonight, so don’t delay and get busy."

"Okay," Paisley Kirk immediately nodded in agreement.

Yusuf Zuck walked out holding Ruth Wilcox’s hand, and the law enforcement officers also left.

However, before everyone had reached the revolving door, the phone in the leader’s pocket rang, and he answered the call while walking.

"Yes, yes... okay, okay... okay, okay, got it, got it." After a few steps, the leader suddenly stopped and then immediately changed his demeanor, walking up to Yusuf Zuck and extending his hand, "It turns out to be Chairman Zuck, a pleasure to meet you. The misunderstanding earlier was unfortunate. We have a resolution now; you were framed by a dishonest business. There’s no need for you to cooperate with the investigation any longer, and you can resume normal business operations."

"That won’t do, I must cooperate with your investigation, and I will not resume normal business," Zuck said, showing no intention of shaking hands and instead looked at the leader with a cold smile, "I don’t care who just called you, but I need a satisfactory explanation for this incident targeting my New Century company. Otherwise, it’s not over. I will not only sue you, but I will also expose this matter. We have all the surveillance footage here, so I’ll be posting screenshots online later and let the netizens judge this situation for themselves!"

"Chairman Zuck, we have other business to attend to, other places to inspect, so we’ll take our leave now." The leader, thick-skinned, didn’t wish to engage in more discussion with Zuck, thinking ’do whatever you want, Chairman Zuck; I just follow orders, it’s none of my business.’

After saying this, the leader turned and left, and the others also started to head out promptly.

"No one is leaving!" Zuck bellowed, rushing forward a few steps to block the revolving door, shouting, "Security, come here, seal the area off, no one gets out!"

"This..." The head of security standing beside Paisley Kirk felt troubled. The chairman is really going to conflict with the officials?

"Hurry up, what, you don’t want your job anymore? The Chairman has a way to deal with them, take your men and block the door!" Paisley Kirk pushed the head of security and urged.

"Fine, if the sky’s falling, there’s someone tall to bear it, I fear nothing!" The head of security rolled up his sleeves and bellowed, "All security personnel, assemble! Block the main door, no one is allowed to leave!"

About twenty security guards ran out and then lined up in two rows, hand in hand, blocking the revolving door.

"What are you doing?" Members of the inspection team started to clamor, especially the three police officers who pushed to the front, loudly questioning Zuck. They also ordered the security guards to step aside, saying that this act was illegal and obstructive.

At this moment, Zuck’s phone began to ring. It was Russ Trujillo. Zuck walked over to the other side while answering the call, as it was too noisy there, and the situation was getting out of hand.

"Brother-in-law, it’s settled, your hotel is fine now, and there won’t be similar incidents in the future. You can tell the hotel to operate normally," Russ Trujillo chuckled on the phone.

"Settled? It’s over?" Zuck asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah, Devin King personally made the call. What else could happen if not all is settled?" Russ Trujillo asked, puzzled.

"What I want is the person manipulating this from behind the scenes. Also, who’s going to be responsible for the loss my hotel suffered during these days of shutdown? And just now a team came for a so-called joint enforcement of the law and I’ve had them intercepted in the hotel lobby. Tell Devin King if I don’t get a satisfactory response, I’ll start with one in ten minutes, and then continue every ten minutes. Don’t think I can’t do it. You know I have the money for it now, right? If they don’t welcome me here, I can just pack up and leave for another country. Ten minutes, you guys decide!"

Without waiting for the astonished Russ Trujillo to respond, Zuck hung up the phone.
