Yan Liguo's smile was unusually 'bright' at this moment.
His tactic was a classic example of coercion and enticement.
"..."
After hearing Yan Liguo's words, Zhou Xingxing remained silent for a long time, his eyes filled with conflict.
“Inspector Zhou, if you nod your head, I guarantee you’ll be promoted to Chief Inspector within a year.”
Seeing the hesitation in Zhou Xingxing's eyes, Yan Liguo added another bargaining chip to Zhou Xingxing's strategy.
Upon hearing Yan Liguo's words, Zhou Xingxing's expression changed slightly, as if he had made a decision. He looked at Yan Liguo and slowly said, "Okay, Director Yan, I agree."
"Hahaha, Inspector Zhou, a wise choice. Tomorrow I will arrange a press conference to let you and Wong Man-bun confront each other. Then it will be up to you to perform. Don't let me, the First Secretary, and the Governor down."
Yan Liguo laughed heartily.
"..."
Faced with Yan Liguo's loud laughter, Zhou Xingxing remained silent.
"Inspector Zhou, you've worked hard tonight too. I won't disturb you any longer. Take good care of yourself and recharge your energy. I look forward to your performance tomorrow."
Seeing Zhou Xingxing's expression, Yan Liguo felt somewhat bored, so he left after saying those words.
After Yan Liguo left, the thirty-odd members of the Flying Tigers returned to the conference room 4.0. Although they were all curious about what Yan Liguo had said to Zhou Xingxing alone, they had all undergone rigorous training and no one took the initiative to speak.
until.
"Ah Yang, come out with me for a moment."
Stephen Chow called over his trusted confidants from the Flying Tigers and walked out of the meeting room.
"Zhou sir, what's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Do you need me to come out and tell you?"
Ah Yang looked at Zhou Xingxing and asked with some curiosity.
"Ah Yang, Yan Liguo just told me..."
Zhou Xingxing recounted in detail to A Yang the conditions Yan Liguo had just offered, as well as the threats Yan Liguo had made by using his subordinates to threaten him.
"Zhou sir, don't tell me you agreed to give false testimony for that foreign devil!"
After hearing what Zhou Xingxing said, Ah Yang's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Zhou Xingxing with a serious face.
"Hahahaha~"
Upon hearing Ah Yang's words, Stephen Chow finally broke into a bright smile.
“Ah Yang, I never intended to agree to Yan Liguo’s proposal from the beginning. I just pretended to agree to it to lull him into a false sense of security. My only concern is what you and the brothers will think. Will they blame me for ruining your future?”
Stephen Chow said with a smile.
"What a load of bull, Officer Zhou! I'm telling you seriously, if you really agree to that foreigner's offer, we're no longer brothers!"
Ah Yang said with a serious expression.
“Ah Yang, don’t worry. I, Zhou Xingxing, may forget everything else, but I will never forget that I am Chinese.”
Stephen Chow's smile vanished as he looked at Ah Yang, speaking slowly and deliberately, word by word, with utmost seriousness.
Yan Liguo believed that fame and fortune were everything, and that he could be invincible and win over everyone by relying on them. However, he did not know that fame and fortune were utterly insignificant in the face of true principles.
[167] This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The next morning, the entire island of Hong Kong was abuzz with the release of the first batch of newspapers by major newspapers on the island.
Schmidt I. Swire, manager of Swire Group, one of the four major trading companies, was arrested by Superintendent Wong Man-bun of the Commercial Crime Bureau of the police force.
The police force held a press conference to announce that Wong Man-bun would be suspended from duty and that Wong Man-bun would be subject to investigation.
Huang Wenbin voluntarily went to the police station, risking his future to fight for justice for all Chinese people on Hong Kong Island.
Any one of these three news stories could easily be on the front page. The fact that all three appeared at once made major newspapers wish they had more space, so they had to compress the content and put all three on the front page at the same time.
These three news items instantly became the hot topic of discussion among Hong Kong Island residents.
The third news story in particular is about Superintendent Wong Man-bun sacrificing his future to fight for justice for all Chinese people on Hong Kong Island.
Chinese people have always been a people who love tragic heroes, especially since Huang Wenbin's target is a foreigner, and the manager of Swire Group.
Swire Group sold flour on Hong Kong Island until the 50s. Although no one mentions this now, it doesn't mean that the people of Hong Kong Island have forgotten it.
If you had to choose the most disliked trading firm among the four major trading companies, 80% of Hong Kong residents would undoubtedly choose Swire Trading Company without hesitation.
This is a corrupt foreign firm from top to bottom. Even its subsidiary, National Pacific Airlines, discriminates against Chinese people and fawns over foreigners in every way. It is an absolute sycophant of foreigners.
Therefore, when it came to Wong Man-bun's dealings with Swire Properties, the citizens of Hong Kong Island didn't even need to think twice; they immediately chose to support Wong Man-bun.
At that very moment, the three major television stations on Hong Kong Island also released footage of Wong Man-bun leading his men to arrest Smit Swire, as well as footage of Wong Man-bun being interviewed at the entrance of the police headquarters building.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, two moments were edited out particularly clearly.
One scene shows Stephen Chow shouting, "Damn it, these foreign devils are so arrogant on our Chinese turf! I'll fuck your mother!" Everyone immediately attacks, and anyone who dares to fight back is arrested!
Another scene shows Wong Man-bun saying with a tragic expression, "This uniform was once my life's pride. Today, I'm wearing my life's pride to ask those 23-story officers in the Hong Kong Island Police Force what fairness really is, and whether this uniform is my pride or just a joke."
After these two videos were released, Stephen Chow and Wong Man-bun immediately became prominent figures in the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
Many people spontaneously went to the Hong Kong Island Police Headquarters Building, the Hong Kong British Government Office Building, and the Governor's Residence to support Wong Man-bun and Chow Sing-sing, demanding that Smit Swire be severely punished and that the law should not be bend to his will just because he is a foreigner.
Police Headquarters Building, Office of Commissioner of Police Mak Yan-ho.
Having just finished talking with Schmidt Schwayer and finally calming him down, Mai Renhao sat wearily in his seat.
Sitting next to him, Yan Liguo picked up the TV remote and turned on the phone. Soon, the footage of Huang Wenbin being interviewed on TVB appeared in front of Mai Renhao and Yan Liguo.
"Hmph, I knew there would be a backup plan. Sure enough, it's the same old trick: public opinion and inciting people to protest in the streets."
Mai Renhao looked at Huang Wenbin, who had a tragic expression on his face, and said coldly.
"Director Mai, just as you thought, the other side wants to elevate Huang Wenbin as a weapon to attack us."
Yan Liguo, sitting in front of Mai Renhao, said with a smile.
“Hong Kong’s Chinese community likes to see these tragic heroes, so let them see how the tragic heroes in their eyes are praised by public opinion, and how they are destroyed by public opinion.”
Mai Renhao spoke slowly, word by word.
Soon, the police released the information.
First, the police force assured all citizens of Hong Kong Island that it would not release Schmidt Schweitzer before clearing him of suspicion.
Secondly, the police force will broadcast a press conference live to all residents of Hong Kong Island at 10:00 a.m., at which the police force will give all residents of Hong Kong Island an explanation.
Finally, the police force hopes that the general public of Hong Kong Island will not be used by those with ulterior motives and become tools for others.
After the police released the information, pro-British Hong Kong media outlets such as Pingguo Daily began reporting on Wong Man-bun's misdeeds, even fabricating stories about him stealing clothes from classmates when he was studying at the police academy more than ten years ago.
After the public outcry, the ICAC announced to all sectors of Hong Kong Island that they had discovered that Superintendent Wong Man-bin of the Commercial Crime Bureau was suspected of violating the Independent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance and had begun an investigation into Wong Man-bin.
It can be said that the police force's response this time was both swift and decisive. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to suppress Huang Wenbin's popularity. However, even if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen, especially since the police force's opponent is Li Jun!
9 a.m., Repulse Bay Villa District.
A Mercedes-Benz slowly drove into Villa No. 11 in Repulse Bay.
The owner of this villa is a very influential figure in Hong Kong. Although he is not one of the four major families in Hong Kong, he is considered by all Hong Kong people to be no less influential than the four major families, especially after the numerous negotiations between Hong Kong and the United States in the north.
The owner of this villa is Lei Yingdong, a famous patriotic businessman and a leader of the mainland businessmen in Hong Kong.
The fact that Lei Yingdong still possesses his current strength despite being suppressed by foreigners for over 30 years speaks volumes about his personal abilities; they can only be described as terrifying.
Li Jun is now coming to Lei Yingdong to complete the final step of his plan, to fill in the last piece of the puzzle so that the foreigners can't find any flaws.
"Haha, Mr. Li, I've heard of your great name for a long time and have always wanted to visit you, but I just couldn't find a suitable reason."
As soon as Li Jun got out of the car, he heard a cheerful voice, and then a middle-aged man with dark glasses walked towards him.
The moment Li Jun saw the middle-aged man, he realized that this man must be Lei Yingdong's eldest son, Lei Zhenhuan.
"Hello, Mr. Lei."
Li Jun said to Lei Zhenhuan with a smile.
"Mr. Li, let me introduce myself. My name is Lei Zhenhuan. My father has been waiting for you in the study for a long time. Please come with me."
Lei Zhenhuan smiled and welcomed Li Jun into the Lei family's villa number 11.
A few minutes later.
Lei Zhenhuan pushed open the door to the study, and then a bald man with a somewhat thin face and a dignified appearance came into Li Jun's view.
Li Jun didn't even need an introduction; he recognized at a glance that this was the person he was looking for today: Lei Yingdong.
"Mr. Lei, hello, I am Li Jun."
Li Jun looked at Lei Yingdong and greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Li, please take a seat."
Compared to Li Jun's enthusiasm, Lei Yingdong was much more reserved, speaking to Li Jun in a calm tone.
Meanwhile, Lei Yingdong was also carefully observing Li Jun.
Lei Yingdong was very interested in this influential figure in the underworld because of his connections in the north. In fact, Lei Yingdong really wanted to win over someone like Li Jun.
