A psychological counseling center called Fate in Central.
ICAC Chief Investigation Officer Lu Zhilian (from the movie "Anti-Corruption Storm") slowly walked into the consulting firm.
"Mr. Lu, Dr. Huo is already waiting for you with his consultant."
Lu Zhilian was clearly a regular at this psychological counseling center. As soon as he entered the door, the nurse at the front desk greeted him with a smile.
"OK, thanks."
A smile appeared on Lu Zhilian's face. After nodding to the nurse, he walked straight to a room at the far end of the corridor.
Two minutes later.
"You're 5 minutes late today, what happened?"
When Lu Zhilian pushed open the door, Huo Tianren, who was sitting at his desk, asked without looking up.
There is a case.
1 Lu Zhilian said succinctly.
"sit down."
Huo Tianren did not inquire about Lu Zhilian's case in detail, but instead had Lu Zhilian sit on a recliner.
After Lu Zhilian lay down, Huo Tianren walked to his side and asked, "How have you been feeling this past week? Are you feeling any better?"
"I feel much better, thank you, Professor Huo."
Lu Zhilian answered calmly.
"You're not actually sick, it's just that your values are conflicting. You thought what you were doing was righteous, but you found that your bosses, those foreigners, were the biggest injustices in Hong Kong. This made you doubt your job and what you were doing, which led to psychological problems."
Huo Tianren looked at Lu Zhilian and said calmly.
“Professor Huo, you’re right. When I was an investigator, I didn’t have such deep exposure to the issues, and I felt very fulfilled every day. But after I was promoted to chief investigator, I got to know the issues more and more deeply and discovered that a large part of the corruption in Hong Kong was caused by foreigners. But every case involving foreigners just fizzled out.”
"Either there's a scapegoat taking the blame for the foreigner, or the witnesses and evidence mysteriously disappear, and the case comes to an end."
Lu Zhilian's face was extremely grim when he said this.
“Mr. Lu, I’ve told you before that your suffering actually stems from this unjust world, and the injustice in this world is mainly caused by foreigners. So we must stand up and say no to this unjust world, and say no to foreigners!”
Huo Tianren looked down at Lu Zhilian and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Mr. Huo, what do you think I should do?"
After hearing Huo Tianren's words, Lu Zhilian's eyes flashed, and he asked a question.
“Mr. Lu, I have some information here. After I finish today’s treatment, you can take this information home and take a good look at it. I believe it will greatly improve your mental state.”
Huo Tianren smiled.
"it is good!"
Lu Zhilian nodded slightly and responded.
Twenty minutes later.
Lu Zhilian sat at Huo Tianren's desk, flipping through the documents in front of him. The more he looked, the more serious his expression became. After reading through all the documents, Lu Zhilian looked up at Huo Tianren and asked, "Professor Huo, where did you obtain these documents?"
“Mr. Lu, I naturally have my own methods. You should know how powerful the foreigners are in Hong Kong. To fight against them, I naturally need to have some strength on my hands.”
Huo Tianren replied with a smile.
"Professor Huo, I will take this information home and study it slowly. However, the forces involved are too powerful, so I must proceed cautiously."
Lu Zhilian said with a solemn expression.
“Mr. Lu, even if you didn’t say it, I would have reminded you to take your time. After all, the Jockey Club has been developing in Hong Kong for decades, and its influence and network of connections have long since spread to all sectors of Hong Kong’s upper echelons. To touch the Jockey Club would definitely cause an earthquake.”
Huo Tianren replied with a smile.
"Professor Huo, I'm a little curious. With so many powerful forces in the West, why did you set your sights on the horse racing club from the very beginning?"
Lu Zhilian stared intently at Huo Tianren and asked.
Lu Zhilian's desire to fight for justice does not mean he is willing to be Huo Tianren's gun.
“Mr. Lu, I once had some like-minded partners, but later I discovered that these partners were all deceiving me, so I must make them pay the price, not because they deceived me, but because they betrayed my ideals.”
A cold glint flashed in Huo Tianren's eyes...
[190] Hong Kong Island undergoes a political upheaval, with various forces taking part; a storm is brewing.
Tin Ming Psychological Counseling Center, Central, Hong Kong Island.
"Professor Huo, who are those partners you mentioned?"
Upon hearing Huo Tianren's words, out of professional habit, Lu Zhilian subconsciously asked the question.
"Mr. Lu, I will tell you the answer to this question later."
Huo Tianren said calmly.
"Professor Huo, I have one last question."
Although Huo Tianren did not answer his question, Lu Zhilian did not mind and continued to speak.
"You say it."
Huo Tianren spoke up.
"Professor Huo, I'd like to know, what purpose do you intend to achieve by using the Jockey Club case?"
Lu Zhilian stared at Huo Tianren and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Didn't I just say that I..."
“Professor Huo, I have been seeing you for four months. You know me, and I know you. There are some things you can’t hide from me.”
Huo Tianren tried to dodge the question, but he was interrupted by Lu Zhilian as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Mr. Lu, let me put it this way: the British Hong Kong government was the nominal ruling class of Hong Kong Island, while the Hong Kong Jockey Club was the ruling class of Hong Kong Island hidden in the shadows."
"The foreigners, using the name of the Royal Jockey Club, have brought almost 90% of the wealthy people in Hong Kong into the club. There's even a saying circulating in Hong Kong that only those who join the Jockey Club are the true upper class of Hong Kong."
“Through the Hong Kong Jockey Club, foreigners can amass nearly 100 billion Hong Kong dollars annually. They then use this money to infiltrate education and people’s livelihoods under the guise of charity and aid.”
"It can be said that the Hong Kong Jockey Club is one of the cornerstones of the foreigners' rule over Hong Kong. If the Jockey Club can be destroyed, it will be a huge and unacceptable loss for the foreigners."
Huo Tianren pondered for a few seconds, organized his thoughts, looked at Lu Zhilian, and slowly began to speak.
"Professor Huo, if I may be frank, based on your information, even if all the evidence in it is proven, it will only cause minor damage to the Hong Kong Jockey Club. It won't even be able to seriously injure the club, let alone damage its foundation."
Lu Zhilian said calmly.
“Mr. Lu, have you forgotten what I just told you? I said I would make my partners pay the price for betraying my ideals. This evidence may not do much harm to the Jockey Club, but it can incite my partners to take action against the Jockey Club and make them confront the Jockey Club.”
"In that case, it will be beneficial to us regardless of who wins or loses. Moreover, I believe that with the strength of both sides, either side can only win a Pyrrhic victory. That will be our chance to reap the benefits and at least get a piece of the pie."
Huo Tianren looked at Lu Zhilian and said quietly.
"Professor Huo, I'm really curious, who exactly are those partners you mentioned, that they can go against the Jockey Club, and that you even think they have a chance of winning?"
After hearing Huo Tianren's words, a hint of curiosity flashed in Lu Zhilian's eyes.
“Mr. Lu, although I am very dissatisfied with those people for deceiving me, I have to admit that they, or rather, he, are truly capable people. If he can use his abilities for the right purpose, to build a fair world for the weak, then I, Huo Tianren, will definitely do my best to assist him.”
Lu Zhilian keenly noticed that when Huo Tianren said this, the look in his eyes was not the resentment he had shown before, but regret, as if he regretted that the person he was talking about could not share his ideals.
At this moment, Lu Zhilian's curiosity was amplified to the maximum. He had personally experienced Huo Tianren's ability to bewitch people. Even if you knew that he was using you, you would still be willing to be used by him. If you could admire such a person to this extent, what kind of magic must the person Huo Tianren was talking about have?
However, Lu Zhilian will not get an answer today.
"Mr. Lu, I'm a little tired. You can leave now."
Huo Tianren directly ordered Lu Zhilian to leave.
"Professor Huo, I'll take a closer look at the Jockey Club case when I get home..."
"Mr. Lu, whatever help you need, just tell me directly, please don't hesitate to ask."
Lu Zhilian was interrupted by Huo Tianren before he could finish speaking.
Looking at Huo Tianren's sincere face, Lu Zhilian slowly nodded and said, "I will, Professor Huo."
“Mr. Lu, I want you to remember what kind of world I want. I will no longer allow anyone to deceive me, no one at all. Do you understand what I mean?”
Huo Tianren stared at Lu Zhilian and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Professor Huo, I understand."
Lu Zhilian looked at Huo Tianren and nodded sincerely. For someone like Huo Tianren, Lu Zhilian felt nothing but understanding and respect.
Lu Zhilian also had high hopes for the fair world that Huo Tianren spoke of, a world that helps the weak.
Little did Lu Zhilian know that a storm sweeping through the upper echelons of Hong Kong Island would soon be born from the very documents he possessed...
Meanwhile, at the He family villa on Taiping Mountain.
The three heads of the four major families on Hong Kong Island—He Dong of the He family, Guo Yongnian of the Guo family, and Li Peicai of the Li family—gathered here to discuss matters concerning the Swire Group.
"Patriarch He, we have joined forces to besiege Swire Group in the stock market for three whole days, but so far we have achieved nothing. Swire Group's stock price is still in the previous range. It is clear that the foreigners are prepared to protect Swire Group at all costs this time."
Li Peicai looked at He Dong and slowly began to speak.
