Offer To The CEO

Sunday, continued …

Lu Jingho looked at the police officer as if he was speaking nonsense. "I have cooperated and now I am leaving."

In an even firmer voice, Officer Kang responded "Mr Lu, this is the only time that I am giving you a second warning. Sit down, we are nowhere near finished. And let me tell you I have very little patience for a liar like you who cannot keep anything straight."

"Who are you calling a liar."

"Mr Lu sit down. You can do it voluntarily or, we will make you sit down and add to the charges you will face that of hindering a police investigation."

"You have no thing on me, so forget about me cooperating."

Turning to Lu Jingho's lawyer Officer Kang said "Given your client is not listening to me, he will be forced to sit down. We will handcuff him until we finish this interview but will allow you one opportunity to have him cooperate."

Standing up, his lawyer moved over to Lu Jingho and whispered into his ear. As they both sat down Lu Jingho spat out "I am doing this under protest. You are wasting my time and I have nothing to answer, but the last thing that I need is attacked by police like I know that you have done in the past."

"Speaking of that Mr Lu, the first thing that we need to discuss is the incident that occurred here a couple of months ago, where Madam Hou was injured. While your son and daughter-in-law were partially involved in causing that incident, we have information that you provided false information to the investigating officers, that helped set that chain of events in motion."

"What the …"

"Mr Lu what to you have to say about that allegation?"

"It is a lie."

"Mr Lu we have statements from the police officers involved that clearly indicate part of the information that was provided to them came from you, and that triggered the assault on Madam Hou."

"It is a lie."

"Mr Lu do you think that we would be making this statement if we did not …"

Starting to yell, Lu Jingho responded "That is a lie. I do not know what that b*tch told you, but she is lying, simply because she wants to cause trouble, like she did for my son."

"Mr Lu, calm down and listen to me."

Screaming Lu Jingho said "Do not tell me what to do, you have no right to do that."

"Mr Lu, please calm down." Said Officer Kang again, knowing that Lu Jingho was already starting to get incensed.

This time slamming his fist on the table, Lu Jingho responded, very angrily "I told you do not tell me what to do."

"Mr Lu we are to interview you about criminal matters. If you cannot remain calm, we will have no option but to terminate the interview …"

"Well do that. You have no right to detain me, and I am leaving as I have committed no crime. This is police harassment," yelled Lu Jingho, again smashing his fist on the table.

"Mr Lu, I will say this now and there will be no more opportunities afforded to you. If you do not calm down and cooperate, we will detain you in the cells until you are calm enough to be interviewed."

"No damn way, that is a threat, and I do not take threats lightly."

Seeing how close this interview was into descending into a farce, Lu Jingho's lawyer, leaned over and whispered into his ear. Once he pulled away, Lu Jingho picked up one of the bottles of water he had knocked over opened it an took a drink.

"Well gentleman, what do you want to put to me."

"Mr Lu, we have already put to you the allegation. But seeming how you have not been listening to us, I will repeat what I previously put to you. We have evidence that clearly indicates that part of the false statements that ended up resulting in Madam Hou being assaulted."

"That is s lie, I had nothing to do, and everyone is lying."

"Mr Lu, do you not think that we would have evidence to support this claim before putting it to you?"

"You want to trap me; everyone is lying and I am innocent."

"We have statements from the police involved, phone records, and a statement from Madam Hou …"

"Well there is your answer, all she wants to do is cause trouble. That is all she has done for the last three months for my family and I."
