Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 928 Chapter 0916 [Immortal]

"Breaking news from our station! Ming Pao Group in Chai Wan, Hong Kong, suffered a fire last night! It is reported that the fire broke out suddenly and quickly spread from the front door of Ming Pao to the inside. Fortunately, an Indian gatekeeper discovered the fire and put it out in time! Even so, Ming Pao still suffered a huge loss this time, and the specific loss is still being calculated--"

Hong Kong TVB TV station interrupts the broadcast of news bulletins.

Then the camera turned, and an Indian man with a headscarf appeared on the screen. He was the gatekeeper who discovered the fire last night, called the fire brigade for support, and was not afraid of sacrifice, and took the initiative to use existing fire extinguishers to put out the fire.

The Indian gatekeeper spoke to the camera in broken Cantonese: "What happened last night was this: I bought some curry to make curry chicken rice after get off work as usual. At that moment, I noticed thick smoke coming out of the company's main entrance, and I knew something was wrong."

"Yes, I was very nervous at that time. I discovered the fire. The fire was so big that the company's iron gate was burned red! But as a professionally trained gatekeeper, my first reaction in this situation was to call the police! I called 911 and reported the fire situation, location and other information in great detail."

"A special thanks to the company owner, Mr. Cha, who often conducts fire drills for us gatekeepers and security personnel, including how to make phone calls, how to report a fire, and how to put out the fire after doing all that!"

"Yes, I used the firefighting knowledge I learned from the company and immediately found the dust fire extinguisher. According to what I learned during the drill, I pulled out the plug, held the fire extinguisher in one hand and the flamethrower in the other, and sprayed hard at the bottom of the fire!"

"Oh my God, you don't know how dangerous the situation was. The fire spread from the gate. If I hadn't stopped the fire in time, our company would have been gone! Of course, I'm not praising myself. I just did what a gatekeeper should do! Here I want to say to many big bosses that hiring us Indians as security guards and gatekeepers is the right choice for you! Lord Brahma, everything I said above is true, absolutely not exaggerated, thank you!"

The TVB reporter continued to interview the Indian brother: "So what do you think about this fire? Was it an accidental fire or was it deliberately set?"

"I can't say for sure. You know, I just said that I was making curry chicken rice and was worrying about how much curry to put in, and then I found out that there was a fire!"

"So you mean it's unclear?"

"Yes! In this case, I think you should ask the police officer in charge of this case!" The Indian brother shrugged honestly.

Upon seeing this, the reporter immediately changed the camera. Dakoujiu, who had long been promoted to the director of the Fire Department, coughed hurriedly in front of the camera, tidied himself up, then picked up the microphone to test the sound before making a gesture to the reporter to ask.

Dakoujiu and Du Yongxiao have known each other for a long time. At that time, Du Yongxiao was confronting Jin Yagui in the casino, and Dakoujiu and Yan Xiong rushed there together. Since then, Dakoujiu knew that Du Yongxiao was not an ordinary person, but he never expected that in just a few years, Du Yongxiao would be promoted directly from a Chinese detective to the "Commissioner of Police".

It was because he clung to Du Yongxiao's thigh in a very tactful way that he was able to transform himself from a fire officer in one jurisdiction into the number one person in the entire Hong Kong Fire Department.

The reporter did not dare to be arrogant in front of Da Koujiu, and lowered his posture to interview: "Hello, Director, what do you think about the fire that broke out at Ming Pao Industrial Center last night? Was it deliberately set or was it a common fire?"

Dakoujiu grinned at the camera and said, "We are still investigating the specific situation. However, there is a big difference between intentional arson and ordinary fires, and the biggest difference is the source of the fire. As we all know, ordinary fires are nothing more than electrical wires catching fire, or cigarette butts, candles, etc., but this time we clearly smelled a strong smell of gasoline at the scene..."

"Smell of gasoline?" The reporter was startled. "Does that mean someone set the fire on purpose?" He became excited.

Ming Pao is one of the four major newspapers in Hong Kong. If it was just an ordinary fire, it would be too boring. On the other hand, if someone deliberately set the fire, it would be a criminal case, which would be a big deal.

"Yes, that's the case for now." Dakoujiu nodded, "We have now handed the case over to the Hong Kong Island Central Police Station, and the Serious Crime Investigation Division is investigating!"

"Serious Crime Investigation Division?" The reporter was stunned again. "Why did the Serious Crime Division also get involved in this matter? It seems that the police are taking this matter very seriously."

"Of course!" Dakou Jiu-faced the camera, his eyes showing a hint of ruthlessness, "As everyone knows, a lot of things have happened in Hong Kong recently, and there have been a lot of gossips spreading that Hong Kong Ming Pao has a personal grudge against a certain big shot. We cannot rule out the possibility that someone is deliberately framing the matter in an attempt to discredit this big shot!"

"As Hong Kong's disciplined forces and law enforcers, whether it is our Fire Department or the Royal Hong Kong Police Force, we cannot tolerate such an extremely bad incident!"

"Here, I call on the general public to provide us with any tips, including some subtle clues about last night's fire... We will protect those who report it, and will never disclose any privacy, and will give cash rewards afterwards! The specific amount will not be less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"Wow, one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars!"

"Whoever has a tip-off will be rich!"

There was an uproar among the people in front of the TV.

After all, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars is not a small sum of money in this era, and all people need to do is open their mouths and tell some clues they know.

The reporter was also moved by the figure of 100,000 and said excitedly, "Did you hear that? If you have any tips, please contact the police immediately. If the clues are useful, you can get a reward of up to 100,000!"

Dakoujiu continued facing the camera: "Yes, please contact us in time! In addition--"

Dakoujiu said in a stern tone: "I hope that those arsonists will turn back and surrender themselves after watching the TV! Only in this way can we police leniently deal with them! Otherwise, when you are caught, you will be sentenced to a heavy sentence..."

Dakoujiu's threats seeped out through the television, making the people in front of the TV feel their scalps tingling and their spines chilled.

at this time--
A milk tea shop near Apliu Street——
Xigui and Wutou, who had just set a fire last night, were staring at TV stupidly, biting their straws.

After Dakoujiu finished his threats on TV, the two looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.

Several diners around also began to discuss--
"Wow, a bonus of 100,000! If I knew who set the fire, I would catch them and hand them over to the police!" roared a burly man.

"Forget it, this kind of good thing is not your turn!" said another thin man, "No matter who set the fire, he has offended all the police in Hong Kong this time. A hundred thousand bonus is still too little. I guess everyone in Hong Kong is looking for them now!"

"Tsk tsk! I don't know how many of these thieves there are, but they are definitely dead this time!"

"Yes! Unless you sneak out of the country, you will be found sooner or later if you stay in Hong Kong!"

The diners became more and more excited as they talked, as if they had turned into law enforcers.

"There are no secrets in this world. If you break the law, there must be witnesses! Or someone has evidence to prove it!"

"That's right! If the police were smart, they would start from the source of the gasoline and see which store sold gasoline to whom..."

"Wow, sir, do you think every policeman is Sherlock Holmes?"

The diners were laughing and talking without meaning anything, but Little Ghost and Headless were frightened when they heard it.

Because before they got angry last night, they did go to a nearby store to buy gasoline, and they even bargained with the owner, and they both had a deep impression of each other.

"Fuck! Dong Ge gave us such a small amount of money that we had no choice but to bargain with the boss. What should we do now? He will definitely call the police. Then we will--"

The two were not fools and soon realized the seriousness of the matter. They did not dare to stay in the milk tea shop any longer and hurriedly paid the bill and left.

Seeing the two men acting sneakily, the owner of the milk tea shop looked at their backs and joked to the other diners, "Look at those two losers. They look like thieves. They might be the arsonists from last night!"

"Hahaha, if they were arsonists, wouldn't you be rich, boss?" The other diners laughed.

The boss shrugged, thinking it was just a joke, not knowing that he had just missed out on a bonus of $100,000.

When they came outside, Xigui and Wutou hurriedly hid in the corner.

"What should I do? What should I do?" The little ghost stamped his feet and rubbed his hands, like an ant on hot pan.

Wu Tou comforted him: "Don't be afraid, those are all guesses!"

"Guess? The gasoline seller must have recognized us. He's probably gone to the police station now. Soon our portraits will be all over the streets..."

When Wu Tou heard this, he felt confused.

"What should we do? Smuggling requires a lot of money! Why don't we ask Brother Dong for it!"

"Brother Dong? Do you still believe him now?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know him best! He is far from Brother Long!"

The two of them didn't speak.

They felt chilled when they thought of Lian Haodong driving away in a luxury car.

"So now we--"

The two looked at each other, then looked at the noisy street again, only to feel that they had nowhere to go!
……

Ming Pao Industrial Group is now bustling with activity after the fire.

All shareholders and senior executives of Ming Pao Group were gathered in the group's conference room, talking noisily about the fire that happened last night.

For them, this fire served as a great warning, indicating that Ming Pao was really in a precarious situation. Look, someone had set the fire. It would be a joke if Ming Pao didn't close down.

Jin Yong, the big boss of Ming Pao, was now sitting in the first seat, smoking silently for the first time.

He had quit smoking for many years, but started smoking again today. The smoke covered most of his face.

Ming Pao's second in command Shen Baoxin said in a stern tone: "Damn it! This matter must not be allowed to pass like this! You don't need to guess, you know it must be Du Yongxiao who is behind this!"

"That's right! It's easy to tell. Who else wants to bring down Ming Pao besides him?"

"Bang!" Jin Yong was holding the teacup and preparing to take a sip. After hearing these words, he threw the cup to the ground!

It was as if his expression changed. His whole face changed from calm to angry in an instant. "If it is really him, then it is too despicable! Although we at Ming Pao have treated him badly before and opened a column to write many false reports about him, it is even more shameful for him to use such a despicable method!"

These words made many shareholders and senior executives present gasp for breath and their eyes turned red.

Jin Yong is a scholar. He has always been calm and steady in his work and behaves in a gentle and refined manner, showing the spirit of a scholar. But now he is furious, which shows that Du Yongxiao has made him very angry.

Looking back, everyone thought again, who is Du Yongxiao? His status and position are unmatched. Now he dares to set fire to Ming Pao. What else will he not dare to do in the future?
"Mr. Cha, now that the incident has happened, even though the police said they are still investigating, this is clearly a cover-up. Everyone knows that Du Yongxiao is the Commissioner of Police, their superior, so how dare they investigate him? If we continue to get angry, it will only hurt our bodies and hearts, and it will also make us lose our composure. For now, we should stay calm."

Shen Baoxin is Jin Yong's partner and old friend. Seeing Jin Yong getting angry, he couldn't help but speak to comfort him.

Seeing Shen Baoxin say this, Jin Yong stopped frowning and said in a gentle tone, "You're right! What's the point of us getting angry? We can't hurt Du in the slightest! Otherwise, he will laugh at us! So now we have to work together and fight Du to the end!"

"That's right! No matter how powerful that Du is, he can't deal with so many of us at once! Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant, let alone he is just a mere police chief?" Shen Baoxin's face showed an expression of determination to fight to the end.

Jin Yongteng stood up and looked at everyone in the conference room: "Everyone, Du is determined to destroy Ming Pao. We can't just sit there and watch him wreak havoc on the world! So we must work together, unite as one, and continue to prepare for battle!"

His words made everyone, including Shen Baoxin, feel excited. They felt that they were fighting against a huge evil force. They were the bright side and would never bow down to evil.

"I am willing to follow Mr. Cha and fight Mr. Du to the end!"

Shen Baoxin waved his fist.

"I am also willing to follow Cha Sheng and fight against evil forces!"

Ni Kuang also stood up and spoke passionately.

Everyone in the conference room stood up -
Express your opinions one after another!
"Me too! I will fight Du to the bitter end!"

"We will never coexist with evil forces!"

"Hoohoo!"

Just when everyone's expressions were excited and their emotions reached their peak -
A voice said coldly: "Tell me, who are you irreconcilable with? Who do you want to fight to the end?"

As the words were spoken, Du Yongxiao, dressed in white, strode in, accompanied by Huang Ying, Yan Xiong, and barrister Brando. He looked like the moon surrounded by stars!

From the first second he entered the conference room, the previously noisy conference room immediately became quiet and silent.
