After saying that, Lei Yingdong hung up the phone immediately.
"Father, what about Li Jun..."
After Lei Yingdong hung up the phone, Lei Zhenhuan, who was sitting next to him, immediately spoke up.
However, Lei Yingdong interrupted Lei Zhenhuan before he could finish speaking: "Zhenhuan, Li Jun has done everything he could. Now all that's left is for us to deliver the final blow, and then he can feast on the foreigners."
"Father, to be honest, I'm still a little confused."
After listening to his father's words, Lei Zhenhuan showed a self-deprecating smile.
“Zhenhuan, being slow for a short time is not terrible; what is terrible is being slow for a lifetime. Go to Nansha and train well. I don’t expect you to have Li Jun’s abilities, but at least don’t let him manipulate you in the future. I will be satisfied.”
Lei Yingdong patted Lei Zhenhuan on the shoulder, seemingly wanting to encourage his son. However, he didn't see that after hearing his words, Lei Zhenhuan's smile became even more bitter.
After speaking with Lei Zhenhuan, Lei Yingdong picked up the telephone receiver beside him and dialed a number.
"Director Xu, it's me. It's about the matter I mentioned to you before..."
After the call connected, Lei Yingdong spoke slowly.
the other side.
Inside the office of Governor Peng Jiakang at the Governor's Residence.
Peng Jiakang is on the phone with Parker.
“Parker, I completely understand what you mean. I support your actions, but one thing is certain: things are different now than before. Don’t go too far.”
After listening to Parker's report, Peng Jiakang's expression turned extremely grim, and he slowly spoke.
“Yes, Mr. Governor, I understand completely. I will get everything sorted out by tonight at the latest.”
Parker is clearly very confident in himself.
"Ah."
Peng Jiakang gave a soft "hmm" and prepared to hang up the phone.
‘Dong dong dong~’
“Governor, it’s me.”
Just then, a knock came at the door, and at the same time, Richard, the official in charge of the Governor's residence, spoke into the room.
"Enter."
As Peng Jiakang put the telephone receiver back on the phone, he spoke calmly.
"Governor, Xu Huikang from the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office wants to speak with you. Would you like to?"
Richard pushed open the door and immediately spoke to Peng Jiakang.
"Xu Huikang, does he want to talk to me now?"
Upon hearing Richard's words, Peng Jiakang's expression changed slightly.
Xu Huikang was the director of the Hong Kong Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the north, while Peng Jiakang was the Governor of Hong Kong. They usually communicated frequently, but now, at this time, Xu Huikang suddenly wanted to call him. Thinking about this, Peng Jiakang had a bad feeling.
However, Xu Huikang was, after all, the director of the Hong Kong Office, and no matter how uneasy she felt, she could not refuse to speak with him.
Peng Jiakang just couldn't understand how Li Jun got in touch with the North, and why the North would stand up for Li Jun.
Thinking of this, Peng Jiakang's expression suddenly changed, and at that moment, a bold guess came to his mind.
Without a moment's hesitation, Peng Jiakang said directly to Richard, "Richard, bring Director Xu's call in."
"Yes, Governor."
After saying that, Richard immediately turned and left.
Ten seconds later.
‘Ring ring ring~’
The telephone in front of Peng Jiakang rang.
Peng Jiakang took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the unease in his heart, then picked up the phone and said calmly, "Director Xu? This is Peng Jiakang."
"Hello, Governor."
Xu Huikang's voice came through the receiver.
"Director Xu, although it may be rude of me to say this, I am really busy right now. What can I do for you?"
Peng Jiakang decided to keep it brief and get straight to the point.
“Mr. Governor, I apologize for interrupting your work. However, the situation on Hong Kong Island has been somewhat abnormal these past few days. My superiors are very concerned about this and personally called me to tell me that, under no circumstances should the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong Island be undermined, and in particular, no armed force should conduct armed military activities on Hong Kong Island.”
"In the event of such military activity, we reserve the right to use any means to stop military activities on Hong Kong Island."
Xu Huikang's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was calm, forceful, and penetrating, making it impossible to ignore.
"..."
Upon hearing Xu Huikang's words, Peng Jiakang felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.
Peng Jiakang had considered that the call from the north at this time might be to stand up for Li Jun, but he never expected that the north would be so supportive of Li Jun.
He never dreamed that Li Jun's final killing move would be this.
In this situation, this move is practically unsolvable.
"The Governor?"
After Xu Huikang finished speaking, he waited for a while but still didn't get a response from Peng Jiakang, so he asked.
"Director Xu, I understand what you and your superiors mean. Don't worry, Hong Kong Island is still part of our country. I care about the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong Island even more than you do."
Startled, Peng Jiakang was awakened by Xu Huikang's voice. After saying those words, he hung up the phone immediately.
"Eugene, you were right, Hong Kong Island is indeed a den of dragons and tigers!"
After hanging up the phone with Xu Huikang, Peng Jiakang muttered to himself.
Then, he picked up the phone again and dialed a number.
at the same time.
As the commander of the Hong Kong Island Garrison, Parker is deploying his troops. This time, he wants to show the Chinese cops in the Hong Kong Island Police Force that cops are just cops. Even if they have guns and have been trained, they are no match for a real army.
"Brigadier General Parker, isn't this arrangement a bit too much?"
After Parker finished deploying his troops, Mai Renhao, who had been standing beside him, asked with some concern.
In Mak Yan-ho's view, Parker's action plan was too violent. Even if his action succeeded, the Hong Kong Island Police Force would be largely paralyzed, and it would still not be able to help the British Hong Kong government solve the problem of the protesting crowds.
"Director Mai, only by taking drastic measures can we scare those arrogant Chinese. Only by scaring them can we make them obey. Don't worry, as soon as my men start attacking, the situation will quickly turn around."
In response to Mai Renhao's concerns, Parker spoke with confidence.
"Well, I hope so."
Mai Renhao sighed and spoke slowly.
‘Ring ring ring~’
Just as Parker was about to order his men to begin the attack, a phone rang.
"Hello, who is it?"
Parker picked up the phone and asked.
“Parker, it’s me, Peng Jiakang.”
Peng Jiakang's voice came through the receiver.
"Governor, what are your orders?"
Parker immediately asked.
"Parker, have your men started moving?"
"Not yet, but please rest assured, Governor, my men will be on their way soon."
Even as he said this, Parker still had a smile on his face.
However, in the next second, Pike's expression suddenly changed.
"Parker, halt all operations and immediately take your men back to Stanley Camp."
On the other end of the phone, Peng Jiakang spoke slowly, word by word.
"What? Mr. Governor, are you kidding me? Cease all operations and begin negotiations?"
Parker practically shouted those words out of his mouth.
He couldn't understand why, in just over ten minutes, Peng Jiakang's thinking had changed so drastically, from supporting him to take immediate action to ordering him to immediately end a certain action.
What exactly happened in those ten minutes?
Not only was Parker stunned, but Mai Renhao, who was standing next to Parker, was also stunned. He had only one thought in his mind: what exactly is going on?
Then, after hearing what Peng Jiakang said on the other end of the phone, Mai Renhao noticed that Parker's expression, which had been unusually unwilling and angry, instantly darkened. This added another question to Mai Renhao's mind.
However, Mak Yan-ho's doubts did not last long. After the 'drastic change of expression,' Parker handed the phone to Mak Yan-ho and said, "Director Mak, the Governor wants to speak with you."
Upon hearing Parker's words, Mak Yan-ho nervously took the phone receiver from him and said, "Governor, this is Mak Yan-ho."
