Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1130 1116 [Forced to the Edge]

Snapped!
“This is outrageous!”

Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose smashed his crystal whiskey glass onto the Persian carpet and asked, "What does this To Wing-hau think Hong Kong is? His private kingdom?"

When MacLehose thought of the humiliation he suffered when he personally picked up Du Yongxiao at the airport today, he became furious.

Rumble!
There was thunder outside.

The Victoria Harbour outside the window was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

The salty sea breeze before the storm blew up the documents on the desk.

The top police secret report reads: "70% of Hong Kong police officers call themselves 'Tu's disciples', and 30,000 registered society members have expressed their submission to Tu Wing-hau."

The secretary of the Hong Kong Governor's Office handed over the latest information with trepidation: Du Yongxiao announced that he would lead a motorcade across the Tsing Ma Bridge tomorrow to inspect his new airport project on Lantau Island.

Murray MacLehose looked at the darkening sky outside the glass curtain wall and suddenly remembered what the astrologer had said this morning: "The Emperor's Star has returned to its place."

He loosened his tie and found his palms were covered in cold sweat.

……

At this time, in addition to Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose who was extremely angry with Du Yongxiao, there was another person who was also extremely angry.

Li Group Building——
Li Zhaoheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the cigar in his hand had burned to the end.

The night view of Victoria Harbour outside the window was dazzling, but it could not illuminate his gloomy face.

"Du Yongxiao is back."

These words kept echoing in his mind, causing his temples to throb.

Two years ago, Li Zhaoheng gathered his men to fight against Du Yongxiao. Du Yongxiao directly sent people into the Hong Kong financial market, causing the Li Group to suffer heavy losses in just one month.

That time, for the sake of his family and honor, Li Zhaoheng had to bow his head and admit defeat, watching Du Yongxiao show off his power in front of him and make him submit.

"boom!"

The cigar was stubbed out in the ashtray.

Li Zhaoheng turned around and saw that the conference room was already full of people.

Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Holdings -
Henderson Land Development Lee Chiu Kee -——
Far East Securities Li Zhaofu -——
and many more!

These are all business tycoons who have suffered losses at the hands of Du Yongxiao.

"Everyone," Li Zhaoheng walked to the conference table and placed his hands on it, "Du Yongxiao is back. This time, we must join forces and never let him stir up trouble in Hong Kong again!"

There was silence in the conference room.

Li Jiacheng played with the pen in his hand, his eyes flickering.

Li Zhaoji leaned back in his chair, smiling.

Li Zhaofu lowered his head and wiped his glasses, as if he had no interest in the meeting.

The others looked at the three big guys and waited and watched.

"Two years ago, we fought on our own, which gave Du Yongxiao an opportunity to take advantage of us." Li Zhaoheng's voice rose eight degrees, "But this time it's different. As long as we work together, we can join forces."

"Sorry." Li Jiacheng suddenly stood up, his eyes burning: "I quit."

"What?" Li Zhaoheng was stunned.

Li Jiacheng straightened his suit and said, "Two years ago, I was like you, thinking that Du Yongxiao was just a young man who didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. But later I found out," he paused, "In his eyes, we are just chess pieces on the chessboard."

"Boss Li! You"

"Lisheng," Li Jiacheng interrupted him, "Do you know why Du Yongxiao chose to come back at this time?" He pointed out the window, "Do you see the newly built twin towers across the street? That's Du Yongxiao's property. Do you think he was on vacation during his two years abroad? No, he was planning something."

Li Zhaoji chuckled and stood up. "Lisheng, I advise you not to bother. Du Yongxiao's target this time is not us... He has a very high vision, and he is looking at the whole world, Great Britain, France, and the United States. You..." He shook his head, "are not qualified."

"You!" Li Zhaoheng's face turned pale.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot." Li Zhaofu finally raised his head and said the first words of the night, "Lisheng, your current behavior is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot." He put away his glasses and put them back on, "Far East Securities will not be involved in this matter. Goodbye."

Watching the three people leave one after another, Li Zhaoheng slammed his fist on the conference table.

Are these people frightened by Du Yongxiao?

Looking at the others, they saw that Li Jiacheng and his men had judged the situation and chose to leave and no longer join forces with Li Zhaoheng. The others were not stupid and left the table one after another, using the excuses of having soup at home or their mothers being sick.

"Let's go! Let's all go! You are all cowards! You are all scared to death by Du Yongxiao! I will fuck your mother!"

Li Zhaoheng roared.

at this time--
"Jingle Bell!"

The landline rang.

At first glance, it was an unfamiliar number.

"Lisheng, long time no see." A gentle male voice came from the other end of the phone, "I heard you were in a meeting? Sorry to bother you."

Li Zhaoheng's whole body stiffened.

He will never forget this voice until his death.

"Du Yongxiao?!"

"It's me. I didn't expect you still remember me, your old friend! How have you been these two years?" Du Yongxiao chuckled.

"Du Yongxiao, you...don't be hypocritical!" Li Zhaoheng said angrily.

"Okay, then let's be frank," Du Yongxiao's tone changed and became serious. "I heard you want to deal with me? Do you want to come to my new office? It's on the top floor of the Twin Towers. "

Li Zhaoheng rushed to the window and saw that the lights on the top floors of the twin towers opposite were indeed on.

A slender figure stood in front of the French window, waving at him.

"By the way," Du Yongxiao's voice was still gentle, "your father Mr. Li Xiaohe, and your two elder brothers Li Zhaoyuan and Li Zhaozhen are all visiting me now. Don't worry, they are safe. After all..." He paused, "I'm not as cruel as you."

The phone hangs up.

Li Zhaoheng's cell phone fell to the ground with a "bang".

He finally understood why Li Jiacheng and the others chose to withdraw.

Du Yongxiao, this devil, he had planned everything long ago.

……

A moment——
Du Group, Gemini Building——
In the president's office, Li Zhaoheng was already standing in front of Du Yongxiao, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

His eyes were burning with anger, as if he wanted to burn the arrogant man in front of him to ashes.

Du Yongxiao, dressed in white, just smiled faintly, as if everything was under control.

"What about my father and two older brothers?" Li Zhaoheng asked.

"They? They went back. I just invited them to come over for tea and chat, and I sent them away after that. What do you think?" Du Yongxiao looked at Li Zhaoheng with a half-smile. When Li Zhaoheng heard this answer, his expression began to twist.

Du Yongxiao observed him, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to care about them so much. Of course, I'm not the kind of person who likes to blackmail others. You think too low of me!" Du Yongxiao looked disdainful, "Same as you!"

Li Zhaoheng's anger was instantly ignited. He took a step forward and almost rushed to Du Yongxiao.

However, Du Yongxiao just raised his hand slightly, signaling him to calm down.

"Don't be impulsive! Remember, impulse is the devil, and it will have consequences that you cannot bear." Du Yongxiao's voice was calm, but with an unquestionable sense of oppression.

The anger in Li Zhaoheng's heart was instantly replaced by a cold fear.

"You...what do you want?" Li Zhaoheng's voice trembled a little. He tried hard to suppress his inner uneasiness, but Du Yongxiao's eyes seemed to see through everything.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said slowly, "I know what you are thinking, Li Zhaoheng. I know everything about you. Do you think you can escape my control? Do you want to join forces with others to deal with me? Are you qualified?"

Li Zhaoheng's heart suddenly sank, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

He felt powerless, as if all his escape routes were blocked.

His anger was gradually replaced by a deep fear. Every word Du Yongxiao said was like a sharp knife piercing his heart.

"You...how do you know all this?" Li Zhaoheng's voice was low, with a hint of despair.

Du Yongxiao shook his head gently, as if laughing at his ignorance: "Li Zhaoheng, you are too naive. Do you think you can hide it from me? From the moment you started to act, I have anticipated your every move. It's just that these little tricks of yours are too childish in my eyes. Why don't you play something bigger, maybe it can arouse my interest in you."

Li Zhaoheng's face turned pale, and his heart was filled with powerlessness and despair, as if all his hopes were easily crushed by Du Yongxiao.

"What exactly do you want?" Li Zhaoheng asked again, his voice almost begging.

Du Yongxiao's strength made him feel extremely oppressive, as if he were an insurmountable mountain.

He looked up at Du Yongxiao, his eyes filled with complex emotions - anger, fear, powerlessness, and finally turning into a deep awe.

Du Yongxiao's smile remained calm, as if everything was within his expectations: "I told you that you either stay still and do nothing, or you make some big moves. In fact, I've been bored during this period of time - masters are lonely, understand?"

This is even more painful than killing Li Zhaoheng!

Du Yongxiao actually looked down on him!
He was told to do something bigger than what he wanted!

I also hope that he can retaliate and fight back!
"Okay... I promise you." Li Zhaoheng gritted his teeth, his voice low and filled with heavy humiliation.

He had originally planned to admit defeat because he couldn't stand the pressure from Du Yongxiao, but now -
After all, Li Zhaoheng was a genius of his generation. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He had been successful in everything from childhood to adulthood. No one dared to look down on him. Even his two older brothers had to secretly admire him.

At that time, Li Zhaoheng even looked down on Hong Kong bosses like Peter Ho, Kevin Lee, Li Zhaoji, and Cheng Yutong!

The reason is very simple, because their Li family is the largest family in Hong Kong!
He has every right to be proud!
but now--
Du Yongxiao nodded with satisfaction, then waved casually at Li Zhaoheng, "Now, you can go!"

Li Zhaoheng took a look at Du Yongxiao and made sure that Du Yongxiao was really willing to let him go. Then he turned and walked away, like a walking corpse, but his eyes were filled with unspeakable viciousness.

Want to play something bigger?

I'll do as you say!
……

Three minutes later——
"Why did you let Li Zhaoheng leave?"

As someone who protected and served Du Yongxiao, Li Yingnan couldn't help but asked with some confusion.

Du Yongxiao glanced at Li Yingnan. During this period of time, Li Yingnan followed him and rarely asked anything. Most of the time, he pretended to be deaf and dumb. It was a miracle that he took the initiative to speak this time.

"You want to know?"

"Yeah." Li Yingnan nodded.

"Pour me a cup of tea first!" Du Yongxiao said with a smile.

Li Yingnan gave Du Yongxiao a cold look.

During this period of time, she has been very careful to keep a distance from Du Yongxiao, but the more contact she has with him, the more she can't let go of her feelings for him.

You know, she and Du Yongxiao had originally been engaged to each other, but in the end it was ruined by herself. Whenever she thought of this, she regretted it endlessly.

Now that Du Yongxiao has returned to Hong Kong, not only is his officially announced fiancée Guan Jiahui clinging to him, but even Du Yongxiao's old lovers Bai Mudan, Huang Ying, and even the Japanese Sakuragi Rin have called him to flirt with him, making Li Yingnan feel very uncomfortable.

Li Yingnan poured a cup of tea for Du Yongxiao and handed it to him.

Du Yongxiao took the tea and said, "Thank you."

"Can I start talking now?" Li Yingnan said with a cold face.

"Yeah," Du Yongxiao leaned on the sofa, holding a cup of tea, crossing his legs, looking comfortable, "The reason is very simple, I want to swallow up the Li family, but if they don't make mistakes, I have no excuse!"

"Huh?" Li Yingnan was stunned, then said: "You are so hypocritical!"

Du Yongxiao smiled: "So, you are only suitable to be a bodyguard, but not a businessman! Do you know what a businessman is? A businessman is someone who hurts others!"

……

Kowloon Tong-——
The gilded chandelier of the Li Mansion flickered in the heavy rain, and the knuckles of Li Zhaoheng's fingers turned white as he gripped the whiskey glass.

The scene an hour ago burned repeatedly on his retina - Du Yongxiao actually said that everything he did was just a small fight and he was not even worthy of being his opponent!
Yes!

Li Zhaoheng has confirmed that Du Yongxiao did not use his father Li Xiaohe and his two elder brothers Li Zhaoyuan and Li Zhaozhen to threaten him.

Because Du Yongxiao felt that doing so was beneath his dignity, he disdained to do it.

They also said that he, Li Zhaoheng, was that kind of low-level villain.

"Fuck you, am I that kind of villain?"

boom!
The crystal glasses exploded into bloody fireworks on the Persian carpet.

Li Zhaoheng tore open his Armani shirt, his chest heaving with anger.

"Are you looking forward to me doing something big? Are you really looking forward to it? Haha, Du Yongxiao, is that right? If so, I, Li Zhaoheng, will satisfy you! Hahaha!" Li Zhaoheng laughed crazily with a smell of alcohol.

At this moment, he had long forgotten the instructions and instructions given by his father during the previous phone call.
"Don't go against Du Yongxiao again! I saved you once last time. If you offend him again, I can't protect you!"

There were also two older brothers who spoke coldly to him——
"We won't stop you if you want to die! But you must not drag our Li family into this!"

"Yes, you almost destroyed our Li family last time. If you continue to be stubborn, you will bring disaster to our Li family!"

Thinking of this, Li Zhaoheng became furious again.

"Go to hell! You're all bad!"

Li Zhaoheng grabbed the whiskey bottle and smashed it hard against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Bang!
As the window glass cracked like a spider web, heavy rain wrapped in the salty sea breeze poured into my nostrils.

The broken glass glowed with a strange green light in the lightning, just like Du Yongxiao's eyes that were always full of sneer.

"Du Yongxiao, this time I'm going to play a big game with you! Either you die or I live!"

Li Zhaoheng roared at the storm.
