Chapter 306: Tom Kneels and Begs for Mercy
Chapter 306: Tom Kneels and Begs for Mercy
Yes, on his turf, no one dares to kick down his door without a word. Wouldn't that be going against the Heavenly Gang?
However, when he saw the scene, he was completely dumbfounded.
These guys were taking pictures everywhere with their cameras. His appearance was captured, as was Mr. Chen's disheveled state after being tortured.
If these photos are released, what will happen?
"Who are you? What are you doing?"
Tom screamed wildly.
A man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, came up to him, took out his work ID, and displayed it in front of Tom.
"Chief Tom, take a good look. I'm Jimmy, the best lawyer in Las Vegas."
"If I'm not mistaken, you were just torturing my client. This will be on the front page of the newspapers tomorrow. I hope Chief Tom will think twice before he acts rashly."
Tom was completely dumbfounded when he saw the young man.
Yes, he knows Attorney Jimmy.
Jimmy is undoubtedly the top lawyer in Las Vegas. One defining characteristic of Jimmy is his high price tag.
For most people, Attorney Jimmy won't represent you in court because he's too busy.
Therefore, anyone who can afford to hire lawyer Jimmy is definitely among the richest of the rich.
At this moment, Old Mo spoke.
"Attorney Jimmy, as a major shareholder of the Las Vegas Grand Hotel, was inexplicably arrested and subjected to severe torture by this Tom, who then fabricated charges against me."
They called me some kind of assassin, and said I was going to assassinate some important person. So I'm not having it, I'm going to sue them, I'll make them pay for this."
"What?"
Tom and the four snakes were dumbfounded.
The reporters immediately took out their cameras and started snapping photos of their notebooks.
By the time Tom realized what was happening, it was too late.
Yes, their conversation was recorded. This is the interrogation record.
Jimmy smiled.
"Chief Tom, I'm sorry, I will do as my client requests. It's my job, and I hope you won't hold a grudge against me."
Tom was stunned when he heard this.
It's over, it's over, this is really the end.
No, no, this was Patton's doing. He'll save me, he definitely will.
Just when Tom was completely at a loss, Caesar finally walked in.
Upon seeing the scene, Caesar's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Chief Tom, Mr. Chen is my business partner and a major shareholder of our Las Vegas Grand Hotel. You actually tortured him and tried to frame him as a hitman? Do you think your claim is plausible?"
To say that a billionaire with billions of dollars is a killer? Are you sure you're not out of your mind?
Upon seeing Caesar, Tom's legs went weak, and he plopped down on the ground.
Barton used to own two large hotels and casinos in Las Vegas. He was an absolutely powerful figure.
But Caesar is no less impressive! Is he someone Tom could afford to offend?
My legs went weak, even my little feet went weak.
Tom couldn't let his legs go weak, he couldn't go weak now, so he quickly stood up, grabbed Caesar's hand and apologized.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Caesar. I didn't know! I really didn't know! Even if I had ten lives, I wouldn't have dared to do it! Can we talk about this?"
If they can sit down and talk, and if Caesar can forgive him, then everything can still be salvaged.
However, Caesar coldly replied, "Excuse me, Chief Tom, you should apologize not to me, but to my friend. So, are you still going to handcuff him and torture him?"
Upon hearing this, Tom finally realized what was happening, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Let go! Let go!"
The snakes finally realized what was happening and rushed over to unlock Old Mo's handcuffs and the iron chair that was holding him.
Chief Tom rushed over and took Old Mo's hand.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Chen, I really didn't know who you were! I was also deceived. This is just my job, so please forgive me, Mr. Chen."
Old Mo looked at him coldly and said, "Jack already told you, I'm a man with billions in assets. Someone as delicate as me, and you dared to use electric shocks on me. Do you think I'll forgive you?"
Tom suddenly felt a chill run through his body, his legs went weak, and he knelt down in front of Old Mo with a thud.
"Mr. Chen, I'm so sorry, I was tricked by Patton. He was the one targeting you, not me! Please forgive me! From now on, I'll do whatever you want, I'll listen to you no matter what, okay?"
He was truly reckless; as long as he could save his life, nothing else mattered.
Offending such a wealthy tycoon would first mean losing one's official position, and then, it would mean certain death.
For a tycoon to kill someone who is nobody, it's just a matter of a word.
That was in the 1970s, when it was normal for someone to die, and you couldn't even find their remains.
So, he had to take a gamble. What about face? What about dignity? None of that mattered anymore.
Old Mo sneered and said, "You listen to everything I say? Fine, then arrest Patton, torture him, and kill him. Can you do that?"
Upon hearing this, Tom felt like dying and quickly shook his head, saying, "No, no, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I can't do it!"
This era was not yet the era of information overload that would follow.
In this day and age, that's about it for a lowly bureau chief. Faced with capital, he doesn't even have the right to resist.
If Patton wanted to kill him, it would be a simple matter of a word. What could he possibly use to get back at Patton?
Upon hearing this, Lao Mo immediately lost interest.
"If you can't do it, what use are you? Jimmy, I'll give you ten million to kill this bastard. Can you do it?"
Upon hearing this, Jimmy was overjoyed and said, "No problem, absolutely no problem."
That's ten million US dollars! In this day and age, that's definitely the richest of the rich!
Even if he does nothing, his entire family could live off him for two generations.
Even in later generations, ten million US dollars would be enough to feed a family for generations. Let alone now.
Upon hearing this, Tom collapsed to the ground.
It's over, completely over.
Old Mo gave Tom a cold look, then decisively led Caesar and the others away.
This is the nature of capitalist society; even if someone kills another, as long as you're willing to spend money, you can still walk away without a second thought.
As soon as Officer Jack saw Old Mo come out, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry you've had to go through this. Let me see you off."
Look, this is the right way for the rich to live.
Personally taking action? Absolutely not. Only worthy opponents warrant his personal attention.
Once inside Caesar's car, Old Mo's face darkened.
"Caesar, how do you plan to resolve this Patton matter?"
