Chapter 406 The Rogue
In the interrogation room of the police station, a rectangular wooden table was placed in the middle. There was a desk lamp on the table, which was the only light source in the room.
There are also three chairs, one of which is made of iron and can be fixed to the ground, mainly for suspects.
Xu Cansen was sitting on the only iron chair at this time. Fortunately, he was not in the north, otherwise the icy cold air would rush from his buttocks straight to his torso, making his whole body feel cold.
He hung his head and was in a bad mood.
It’s not because they are afraid of being caught by the police and going to jail. In fact, as long as it is not a serious crime, Hong Kong people are not afraid of going to jail or feel like the sky is falling.
The failure of this theft broke the bold words he had said when he came to Hong Kong 8 years ago, which made him feel discouraged.
Xu Cansen is 28 years old and is from Yulin, Guangxi. He was an orphan since childhood and was later adopted by his grandfather Xu Huaifa.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Huaifa was a well-known thief in the underworld. He once stole from 13 foreign-funded companies in Shanghai without being discovered.
Knowing well that too much is as bad as too little, Xu Huaifa knew how to retreat while the going was good after making a great name for himself in Shanghai, and headed south to Guangzhou.
Although he is not a good person, he also knows that a rabbit does not eat grass near its burrow.
So after Xu Huaifa settled down in Guangzhou, he only looked for Japanese devils to do no-cost business. However, the devils were much more difficult to deal with than the foreigners in Shanghai. After doing seven or eight business deals, he finally exposed his whereabouts and identity.
Fortunately, he was careful and bribed an insider in the Guangzhou Police Department. Before the Japanese went out to capture him, Xu Huaifa received the news in advance.
Unable to stay in Guangzhou any longer, he moved to Chongqing, the temporary capital at the time, and specialized in stealing the property of officials of the Kuomintang government.
Later, Chongqing was often bombed by the Japanese. Xu Huaifa felt unsafe, so he went south to Yunnan again.
After the civil war broke out, Xu Huaifa finally decided to retire and settled in Yulin, Guangxi.
In Xu Cansen's mind, his grandfather specialized in stealing ill-gotten gains. Even if he was not a hero, he was still an upright man.
……
So Xu Cansen decided to go all out and left some property for himself.
After that, he fled overnight and arrived in Hong Kong.
No one who can be a thief is stupid, and Xu Cansen is very smart.
Although he had no academic qualifications, he learned very quickly. Less than two months after arriving in Hong Kong, he obtained an electrician's license and has been making a living as an electrician ever since.
Of course, once a thief, always a thief. Although Xu Cansen can survive in Hong Kong as an electrician, he has always admired his grandfather's glorious days of traveling all over the country to "borrow food from others", and always fantasizes that one day he can also become a "marquis who steals a country".
The word "guo" and "hou" here do not mean literally, but mean the hope to achieve great things in Hong Kong.
He thought it was ridiculous that a Feng Shui master, who was no different from a liar, could become a guest of honor for many wealthy and famous people.
Moreover, the eight years he spent living in Hong Kong also made him feel disgusted and disgusted with the extravagance of the local wealthy.
Since these guys who are no better than his grandfather can get whatever they want in Hong Kong, why should he, Xu Cansen, always be an electrician?
Everyone makes a living based on their own abilities, so who is nobler than who?
In fact, Xu Canwen also took action during these eight years, but he was relatively cautious, and the targets he chose were not considered big shots in Hong Kong. Some of them he simply did not dare to call the police, and some of them could not find any clues even if they called the police.
7 operations with a 100% success rate, which fueled Xu Cansen's arrogance.
As it happened, Lan Kwai Fong had been undergoing renovation and remodeling since Fong Hok Hin acquired the property two years ago. By chance, Xu Cansen followed an outsourcing company to take over all the circuit engineering work there, and worked on it for a year.
A year is enough time for him to scout the area and find loopholes.
Moreover, he had seen Fang Hexuan, the richest man in Hong Kong, come to Lan Kwai Fong for inspection several times.
To be honest, as a big shot in the thief industry, Xu Cansen admitted that he was particularly envious of Mr. Fang, the richest man.
Every time he comes, he is surrounded by people. The scene of him being the center of attention is really intoxicating.
That’s right, as a thief, Xu Cansen not only doesn’t want to keep a low profile, but also wants to stand in front of the spotlight and loudly tell the whole world that he is the king of thieves.
I can only say that this guy chose the wrong career. He should have been an actor.
Fang Hexuan was young, handsome and rich. Even Xu Cansen wanted to "replace him" after seeing him.
Once the seed of "ambition" is planted, it will be impossible to stop it from sprouting and growing.
As the project neared completion, Xu Cansen finally made up his mind to get the first piece of wool from Fang Hexuan.
He set his sights on the finance office of the Lan Kwai Fong company on D'Aguilar Street, and found an excuse to go inside to check and modify the circuits, basically figuring out all the possible risks.
In the end, Xu Cansen took action, but the result was that he failed for the first time.
He had made seven attempts in eight years without any mistakes, but he failed the first time he tried to deal with Fang Hexuan. Could it be that his surname Fang really meant destiny as the Hong Kong media and Feng Shui masters boasted?
He had received the millions of Hong Kong dollars but had not yet spent a big gold bull when the Hong Kong police broke into his house. The surprise, shock, anger and frustration he felt when he was arrested have not dissipated until now.
The door of the interrogation room was pushed open, but Xu Cansen still kept his head down dejectedly, not looking at anyone.
"Want to go out?"
The voice from the other end made Xu Cansen look up in surprise. It was a middle-aged man obviously dressed as a lawyer. There was a cunning look in his eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What's the price?"
The middle-aged lawyer was stunned at first, then said with a smile:
"You are indeed a smart person. My boss values talent and cannot bear to see his talent go unnoticed, so he decided to give you a chance. It depends on whether you are willing to seize it."
Xu Cansen heard the hidden meaning and guessed who the boss was, but he still pretended to be suspicious and asked:
"Fang Hexuan?"
The lawyer did not answer directly, but continued to smile back and said:
"The boss always says that everything in this world has its use, and so do people. It's not that good horses are not often used, but that there is a lack of people who can use talents properly."
Xu Cansen's face darkened as he listened, and he asked unhappily:
"What do you mean?"
The lawyer smiled complacently and said:
"Petite theft is called thief, breaking into a house is called robbery, one can steal for the country and be a chivalrous thief."
