Siheyuan: I am Jia Dongxu's cousin

Chapter 216: The End of Gerber (End)

Perhaps Godber forgot one thing. As a capitalist country, Britain only had the money to extradite a retired corrupt official. Did he really think Zhang Weiguo would give him that much time?

Soon, before Peter Godber arrived in Hong Kong Island, the Flower Planting News was the first to report that Peter Godber had been arrested by the British police and would be extradited back to Hong Kong Island today.

This is the first time that Hong Kong residents have questioned the authenticity of the content in the Flower Planting Newspaper. It is too fast and too fake! Which police station can be so efficient?

"The Flower Planting Newspaper is not reporting fake news, right? Didn't the corrupt official Peter Godber flee yesterday? How come he was caught and extradited today?"

"Yes! I have a nephew who works in the police station. We don't know how long it takes to catch a thief here, let alone a corrupt official like Gerber."

"That's right! The Flower Planting Newspaper wouldn't be reporting nonsense, would it?"

Some die-hard fans of the China Newspaper also argued that "China Newspaper was founded by the richest Chinese, so it would definitely not report fake news."

"Well, I believe in the Flower Planting News! I believe in the richest Chinese man!"

Some rational people also analyzed: "Didn't the Flower Planting News say that Peter Godber would be extradited at 7pm today? Can't we just go to the airport and find out?"

"Makes sense!"

At this time, the leader of the investigation team, Wang Ying, and the leader of the newly established special investigation committee, Sir Baili Qu, were both confused.

"What's going on? Godber was caught? How come I didn't know?" Wang Ying and Sir Bailiqu looked at each other in confusion.

One of them is a senior police officer, and the other is a senior government official. The efficiency of the British police and government is very clear. Even if Godber was really caught, he would not be extradited so quickly.

Lord Bailiqu frowned and said to Wang Ying: "Call the people from the Flower Planting Newspaper and see where they got the news."

As an old man in the workplace, Baili Qujue did not doubt the truth of this matter at the first time, but first went to the people of the Flower Planting Newspaper to confirm it. Baili Qujue was very clear about the current status of the Flower Planting Newspaper in East Asia. If he said he was the second, no one would dare to claim the first place.

Therefore, Baili Qu did not believe that the other party would destroy their own credibility and make false reports.

Moreover, Zhang Weiguo is the richest Chinese man. If the other party got the information from the executives of the British Empire, this makes sense.

Soon Wang Ying hung up the phone and said with a wry smile: "Sir Baili has confirmed it. The other party told us very confidently that this is true. Ge Bo is probably on the plane now."

"They also told us that the British Royal Bank had more detailed evidence, and that the amount of corruption committed by Peter Godber was as high as 2700 million."

"2700 million!" Lord Bailiqu was also shocked for a while. After a moment, he said, "It must be the richest Chinese man who made the move himself. Otherwise, I can't imagine who would have the ability to get such detailed information in such a short time."

"Yeah, it's just as I thought." Wang Ying continued, "I just don't know who Ge Bo offended. First he gave away more detailed evidence, and now he's asking the British Empire for help. I guess this person must be someone powerful!"

"Indeed! This time, this guy Gerber is in trouble."

Neither of them thought of Zhang Weiguo. It was simple. Ge Bo was not a fool and would not take the initiative to provoke such a person. So the two of them just thought that Zhang Weiguo got the information through special channels.

……

……

At 6:49 pm, the sky over Hong Kong Island had gradually darkened, and dark clouds seemed to be covering the moonlight.

But the airport was not quiet because of the night. Instead, many people were waiting there, waiting to see whether Godber would really be extradited back and whether the report in the Flower Planting News was true.

At 7:07, as the plane landed, a team of five British police officers escorted Godber down the plane.

Some people with good eyesight who had seen Gerber exclaimed when they saw the familiar face.

"Gerber, it's really Gerber!"

"Oh my God! Godber was really extradited back."

After some people realized what was happening, they immediately became excited, and some even shouted, "Long live the Flower Planting Festival!!"

Soon the news that Peter Godber had been extradited spread throughout Hong Kong Island.

On the second day, the sun dispelled the darkness and the dark clouds could no longer cover the blue sky.

"Have you heard? Godber has really been extradited back. This time the corrupt official can't escape."

"You may not know this, but Peter Godber didn't just embezzle 400 million Hong Kong dollars, but 2700 million Hong Kong dollars. Sentencing him to death is a bargain."

"2700 million!"

After Godber was extradited yesterday, Hong Kong government official Murray MacLehose convened an emergency meeting to demand a fair and impartial trial for Godber. At the same time, in order to prevent Hong Kong residents from saying that the trial was unfair, the judges will be selected from among the Chinese.

The trajectory of history is always so similar. Yang Tieliang was chosen again to become the Chinese judge to try Godber.

Just when Yang Tieliang was hesitating about what the appropriate sentence would be, a call from the Flower Planting Group gave him confidence.

Zhang Weiguo asked Lin San to make the call, and the content of the call was nothing more than asking him to accept the judgment according to the law and not to worry about retaliation from Ge Bo and the forces behind him, and that the Flower Planting Group would be responsible for the safety of him and his family.

With this phone call, Yang Tieliang felt more confident.

So on May 5, Yang Tieliang, a Chinese judge of the Hong Kong government, formally filed a criminal lawsuit against Peter Godber.

A week later, the trial began.

The Hong Kong government court was responsible for the trial, and Yang Tieliang was responsible for prosecuting Godber as the representative of the Hong Kong government.

The judge tapped the gavel and asked Godber, who was already handcuffed, "Gober, the Hong Kong government is now charging you with embezzlement and bribery of HK$2700 million. Do you plead guilty?"

"Judge, I did not embezzle or accept bribes, and the money is not mine." Of course, Godber could not admit it. If he really admitted it, he would be close to being shot.

At this time, Yang Tieliang said, "Your Honor, here is the record of Godber's corruption and bribery over the years."

“This is property under his name.”

"However, as Chief Superintendent, Peter Godber only earns HK$2600 a month. How did he have a fortune of HK$2700 million?"

Yang Tieliang's series of questions left Ge Bo speechless for a moment.

Soon after the judge in the court read the evidence submitted by Yang Tieliang, he asked Godber, "Gober, do you have anything else to explain?"

Godber was at a loss at this point, but he remained stubborn and refused to admit that he had committed corruption.

However, in the face of irrefutable evidence, the judge announced: "Gober, the former Chief Superintendent of Police for Hong Kong Island, embezzled and accepted bribes amounting to HK$2700 million while in office. The evidence is irrefutable. According to the verdict of the trial panel and the court, Godber is now formally sentenced to death."

"it is good!"

"Great!"

When some people in the audience heard Godber's verdict, they cheered. But Godber looked ashen and kept saying, "Your Honor, I am innocent. I did not commit corruption. I will appeal."

However, although Hong Kong Island still retained the death penalty at this time, those sentenced to death would be automatically pardoned by the British Queen and sentenced to life imprisonment.

So Godber will probably spend his retirement life in prison.

Just after the matter with Ge Bo was settled, the oil storage warehouses that Zhang Weiguo requested to be built were all completed, and the oil plan was officially launched.
