Z Storm Page #2

Synopsis: This is a story about the biggest financial fraud attempted in Hong Kong, directed at the Government of Hong Kong and involved all 7 million Hong Kong citizens... no one is free from the scheme. Within the four decades of guarding Hong Kong's financial integrity, the ICAC has never come across an opponent so huge and so well organized as in the Z Torrent file... shadowy figures from the underworld of South America, Italy and Europe all ready to plot against the estimated 150 million dollars of Hong Kong citizens' tax money which was pooled in a fund called the WELFARE FUND. High profile chartered accountants, high ranking law enforcers, power lawyers, the super entrepreneurs; they all have their shares of play but none can really grasp the big picture; they are there only for what they desire most. When the wife of an up-rising star Superintendent of police force reported his corruption simply out of bitterness for being ill-treated, little did she know she is about to pull the head st

I'll turn off the video camera.

Come in!

Wong Sir, let me show you something.

Play it for him.

What were you doing, Wong Sir?

Wong Sir, what exactly were you doing?

Doing what you're doing.

We intimidate people in our line of work.

Rewind.

Stop!

Zoom in.

I checked with the staff

at the accounting firm,

Law Tak Wing has a netbook...

This is the one.

But this item

is not among the Police exhibits.

Why is that, Wong Sir?

Are you kidding me?

You can't fool me with this piece of sh*t.

If there's anything further,

we'll bring you in again for tea, OK? Thanks.

We can do it somewhere else.

Tammy, show him the way out.

Yes, Sir!

Put a tail on him round the clock,

keep digging.

You are so... how should I say this?

Yes... such a hassle!

You bring the ICAC here,

Do you know what the hell does that mean?

Relax! Those kindergarten idiots

are out of my league.

Women! I don't care even if she's my wife.

Mr. Zoro will tie up the loose ends for you.

We take action in 2 weeks,

this is a critical moment.

Nothing must go wrong.

ICAC, is Mrs. Wong here?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I told you everything I know,

don't bother me again.

What are you doing?

Mind your own business, b*tch!

Help!

Did you call the Police?

Forget it!

You're divorced, don't go looking for trouble.

My Mom is too old

for this.

L give UP-

I'm going to Toronto tomorrow,

don't bother me anymore.

Sorry for the intrusion.

I told you everything I know,

what more do you want?

Did you hire a private detective

to check up on your husband?

Can you give me his phone number?

"Pay up"

"Pay your debt"

Not the head...

- I'm broke, it's useless to lean on me.

- What happened?

- Are you hurt?

- I'm fine.

You need an ambulance?

No!

Are you Mr. Cheung Keong?

Yes.

ICAC.

You scared the sh*t out of me!

I dare not come down.

Have you any idea how hot it is up there?

I thought you're with the loan sharks.

Wow...

Graffiti?!

Mr. Cheung Keong,

we understand Ms. Kong Wai Ling

hired you to follow her husband

Superintendent Wong Man Bin.

Is that true?

Yes!

Any perks for me?

If you have useful information,

we can pay you an informer's fee.

I followed Wong Sir for 2 weeks.

He took different women to hotels in Macau.

You have pictures?

Yes, but not anymore.

Don't you backup your data on your computer?

I didn't have time.

You're sure you have no backup?

Positive!

It was my fault,

I gambled and borrowed from loan sharks.

I had to pay alimony and support my daughter.

It's hell, Sir!

If you have useful information,

we can pay you an informer's fee.

This is my card, call me.

How much?

A handsome fee for something useful.

Handsome fee.

Mark your word!

Handsome fee.

"ICAC"

Luk Sir, according to the CCTV at the courier,

the informer

is the recently retired partner

of Law & Chan,

Chan Chi Choi.

Send me the address.

OK!

We're looking for Mr. Chan Chi Choi.

ICAC.

He went out.

He usually walks the dog at this hour.

Mr. Law, Mrs. Law is looking good.

Excuse me, do I know you?

Malcolm Wu.

A lawyer? What kind of lawyer?

A divorce lawyer for $999?

Or the kind who goes to court?

Neither.

I'm a legal consultant

who helps companies get listed.

My client knows about your recent troubles,

he took care of them for you.

What kind of trouble would that be?

Your old partner

reported you to the CCB.

While he was walking the dog today,

he fell off the mountain and died.

Are you telling me

the day the cops couldn't find any evidence

in my office

was your doing as well?

That was my client.

He's a very resourceful man.

I don't know what he did or how he did it.

You must be a really good lawyer.

You know how to pass the buck

and come away squeaky clean.

Are you complimenting me or mocking me?

I'm talking about your client,

since he was such a big help,

I bet he expects me to return the favor.

My client doesn't expect anything in return.

You're the industry leader in accounting,

he has prepared $50M for you.

With this money, you and your wife

can move to Switzerland,

and live a very comfortable retired lifestyle.

$50M?

I practically had to marry someone

for money laundering,

another $50M

will lead me straight to Hell.

You have a great sense of humor, Mr. Law.

My client wants something simple.

If you're willing, help him sign a few names,

and he'll be eternally grateful.

Sign what?

It's late, let's discuss that in the car.

Come...

Watch your step.

"Kong Wai Ling, Housewife -fled"

"Cheung Keong,

private detective -office vandalized"

"Chan Chi Choi, accountant -dead"

All 3 leads are dead ends.

Coincidence?

Let's rehash what we have.

Wong Man Bin's wife reported him

for taking a $10M bribe.

Chan Chi Choi reported Law Tak Wing

for money laundering.

The timing is almost seamless.

It's highly possible

Wong Man Bin let Law Tak Wing off the hook

after he took his money.

We checked Law Tak Wing's personal

and company accounts.

He did not withdraw large sums

of money in the last few months.

What about offshore accounts?

All 3 BVI accounts are clean.

If Law Tak Wing bought off Wong Man Bin,

he would have destroyed the evidence ahead

of time.

When Wong Man Bin showed up in his office,

he wouldn't have that kind of reaction.

If it wasn't Law Tak Wing,

who paid off Wong Man Bin?

A case within a case?

Siu Leung, Pa, Joe, On Tat...

follow Law Tak Wing round the clock.

I want to know

the people he contacts.

Tammy!

Tammy!

Hey!

Luk Sir, look at this.

I searched Law Tak Wing,

this is the breaking news from 30 minutes ago.

Z Hedge Fund announced an hour ago,

the appointment

of Law Tak Wing Accounting Firm

and has passed the approval process

before the SFC deadline.

In other words,

Z Hedge Fund will be listed next week

as scheduled.

Z Hedge Fund?

The $155 Community Care Fund (CCF)

of the HKSAR

will go into Z Hedge Fund.

$155 from the HKSAR

and $105 subscribed by the general public...

This case is getting more complicated.

How much do you want to subscribe?

I'll speak to the underwriter.

More? No thanks.

We're partners, we make money together.

I had no intention to partner with you,

you forced your way in.

To put it simply,

Z Hedge Fund, over the past 3 years,

has invested mainly in the FTSE, the Dow Jones

and the DAX.

Despite the instability in the market,

we're still able to obtain a 10.2% increase

over our competitors.

That's a spectacular return.

Any questions?

Sir?

Two weeks ago,

Z Hedge Fund fired the auditor in the U.S.

Rumor has it, the auditor found some grey areas

in the Z Hedge Fund's books, is that true?

Of course not! We appointed a new auditor

because management feels that

the fund is from Hong Kong

and should serve Hong Kong.

Yes, Miss?

We know the $155 of CCF from the HKSAR

will go into Z Hedge Fund.

Why is that?

I'll let Chief Tsui answer your question.

Please.

First, I must clarify

I'm not Chief Tsui anymore.

I left the government 6 months ago.
