Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 938 0926 [Thrilling]

"You seem to be looking forward to Mr. Du's speech?"

Boss Li Jiacheng was a very observant person. When he saw Li Zhaoheng's expression, he asked with a smile.

"Did you figure it out?" Li Zhaoheng turned his head and looked at Boss Li.

"Your expression makes it hard for me not to notice it."

"It seems that I need to improve my expression control." Li Zhaoheng shrugged. "It's not a good thing that you, Boss Li, can see through it."

"Why do you say that?"

"You'll know soon." Li Zhaoheng said, holding a cigar and pointing at the stage, "Let's watch the show first!"

Boss Li looked puzzled, but he stopped asking questions and turned to look at the press conference desk.

Du Yongxiao walked out amid applause.

Everyone is curious about this legendary police commissioner and business tycoon.

Du Yongxiao is particularly mysterious. Even as the Commissioner of Police, he often does not appear in public. Even when he appears on TV, he lets representatives go on stage and hides himself behind the scenes.

It can be said that the Chinese Commissioner of Police, To Wing-ho, is the Commissioner of Police with the least "presence" in Hong Kong. The presence here refers to exposure, not power.

Seeing Du Yongxiao appear, the media reporters who were interviewing Du Yongxiao for the first time whispered to each other--
"Wow, it turns out our police chief is so young!"

"He is not only young, but also very promising!" said another person. "Haven't you heard that he is not only the Commissioner of Police, but also the CEO of the Du Group, and owns a huge business empire!"

“It’s really sharp!”

"Yeah, comparing yourself to others makes you feel pissed. People like us are still struggling to make a living, while others are already at the peak of their lives!"

The other side————
"Have you heard that Mr. Du has a nickname called 'Blood Hands Butcher' and 'Street Cleaner Tiger'? He used to be as famous as the four major detectives and was ruthless!"

"You're bragging! How could he be such a handsome and gentle man and be a bloody executioner?"

"That's what they call a book of cards! If nothing else, look at the momentum he had when he first appeared on the stage. Who can compare to him?"

"That's right! I saw him just now, he looked very imposing, stronger than those business tycoons and political leaders I have interviewed! By the way, do you know the Governor of Hong Kong, Murray MacLehose? I have also interviewed him, and I feel that his imposing manner is not as strong as this Mr. Du!"

"Shut up, don't talk like that!"

"why?"

"This is Hong Kong, Hong Kong is governed by the British, and the Governor is the most powerful! If your words are heard and spread to the Governor's Office, how will those foreigners survive?"

"Uh?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, then burst into laughter.

……

"First of all, thank you all for taking the time to attend this Ming Pao press conference!"

"Perhaps many people have heard that our Du Group has already invested in Ming Pao. We will continue to grow and develop based on Ming Pao's fairness and justice and the truth of its statements!"

"Some time ago, there were many rumors, saying that I had a personal grudge with Ming Pao, and that I burned Ming Pao, etc. For these false statements, I reserve the right to prosecute. No matter who it is, they must be held accountable for their irresponsible slander!"

"Hong Kong is a city of freedom, but not a city outside the law. Speech is free, but nonsense is not allowed. In particular, unlimited slander against anyone is not allowed. This is a violation of human rights and a challenge to the law!"

Du Yongxiao's words suddenly became fierce.

Everyone at the scene became excited.

"It seems that the legends are all false!"

"Yeah, what about setting fire to the Ming Pao? It's obviously fake!"

"How could a man of Mr. Du's status and position do such a thing?"

The people present were all educated and smart. Seeing this, they all stood on Du Yongxiao's side, believing that those were slanders against Du Yongxiao by people with ulterior motives.

"This Du Yongxiao is a master of speech." Li Zhaoheng looked at Du Yongxiao on the stage, exhaled smoke rings, and showed admiration on his face.

"You just knew about this? I've fought him several times. This Du guy knows how to manipulate public opinion. He even..." Boss Li hesitated, "He will let public opinion follow him!"

Thinking back to the public opinion war he had with Du Yongxiao several years ago, in which he was supposed to have won, but in the end he was led by Du Yongxiao, Boss Li still felt a lingering fear.

"Right now, at this moment!" Du Yongxiao stood on the stage, his eyes sharp, "I want to say something to those who have evil intentions--"

Du Yongxiao raised his finger and said, "God is watching what we do!"

Geek!

For some reason, after Du Yongxiao finished saying this, Li Zhaoheng suddenly felt very uncomfortable, especially when he looked at Du Yongxiao, he felt that Du Yongxiao's eyes were also looking at him.

Li Zhaoheng hurried to calm himself down.

He rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch. It was almost time. Du Yongxiao was about to finish his speech on the stage.
Seeing this, his trusted subordinate Li Tiansheng hurried forward.

"How exactly did you arrange it?"

"Don't worry, Boss, everything has been arranged."

"Arranged? Why is there no movement yet?"

"this?"

Li Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time.

At this moment---
clap clap clap!
Applause started again.

It turned out that Du Yongxiao had just said a few simple words on the stage and had finished his speech.

Li Zhaoheng suddenly had a very subtle feeling in his heart, which was the smell of danger.

On the stage, Du Yongxiao had a few more words with Jin Yong and others.

Although Jin Yong, Shen Baoxin and others were very unhappy with him, they could do nothing about it.

At least Du Yongxiao has just clarified the facts and proved that the burning of Ming Pao was a misunderstanding.

What's more, this time Du Yongxiao gave enough face to Jin Yong and others. He not only apologized to Jin Yong and others, saying that he did not explain clearly in advance when he took over the shares of Ming Pao, but also said that he admired Jin Yong as a person and was a fan of Jin Yong's martial arts novels. He also smiled and said that he wanted to have a long talk with Jin Yong when he had time and ask Jin Yong to write an inscription for his study, etc.

What is Du Yongxiao's status and position?
Being able to say such words immediately made Jin Yong feel proud. His previous hatred towards Du Yongxiao was swept away. He even felt that he was petty and not as magnanimous as Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao looked at the changes in attitude of Jin Yong, Shen Baoxin and others and laughed in his heart.

Since ancient times, literati have been the easiest to control. Military generals love money, and literati love fame. As long as you give the other party enough face, they will let go of their grudges and laugh it off with you.

After dealing with Jin Yong and others, Du Yongxiao was able to completely connect with Ming Pao from top to bottom. This made it easier for Huang Ying to help him manage Ming Pao in the future.

After doing all this, Du Yongxiao looked at the people below the stage, his eyes fixed on his target - Li Zhaoheng.

Li Zhaoheng happened to be looking at him.

The two men's eyes met in the air, and invisible sparks flew.

Du Yongxiao smiled, ignored the reporters flocking to the stage, and walked towards Li Zhaoheng.

Li Zhaoheng narrowed his eyes.

Get ready for battle!

……

"Hello, Mr. Lee!"

Du Yongxiao walked up to Li Zhaoheng and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello to you too, Mr. Du!" Li Zhaoheng said with a forced smile.

"You seem to be waiting for me?" "Really? Why don't I feel that way?"

Li Zhaoheng spread his hands, looking joking.

"But I see that your expression is like this." Du Yongxiao said, "You seem to be waiting for something?"

"Haha, what can I wait for? Tell me, Mr. Du?"

"I'm not a worm in your stomach, how would I know?"

"That's it. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. We are all civilized people. Any random guesses that are not in line with the facts are disrespectful to each other."

Du Yongxiao applauded, "Sharp! I've learned a lot! It turns out Mr. Li is such a noble man!"

"Uh, Gao Dashang?"

Li Zhaoheng was stunned by this new word, but he immediately understood it and said with a smile: "It's the same for everyone. We are all well-known figures, so we should maintain our demeanor in our words and deeds."

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Indeed, we are all people of status and position, and we must maintain grace in our words and deeds. So, may I ask - what are you waiting for?"

"What do you mean?" Li Zhaoheng became alert.

Du Yongxiao looked over and said, "You understand, don't you?"

Boss Li Jiacheng, who was standing nearby, was completely confused and had no idea what Du Yongxiao and Li Zhaoheng were talking about.

"Sorry, I don't understand!" Li Zhaoheng snorted coldly.

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Then I have to say sorry, they won't come."

"What do you mean they won't come?"

"You know, the ones you arranged to assassinate me!"

boom!
The scene exploded.

Boss Li was even more stunned. What did it mean? Li Zhaoheng wanted to assassinate Du Yongxiao?
The media reporters were extremely shocked.

Big news!
Li Zhaoheng wants to assassinate Du Yongxiao? !

"Mr. Du, what do you mean by this?"

"Mr. Du, can you explain it more clearly?"

"Mr. Du, please give me a reply!"

The reporters rushed forward and asked Du Yongxiao many questions.

Du Yongxiao ignored them.

His eyes were fixed on Li Zhaoheng.

"Answer me, yes or no?"

"Slander! This is pure slander!"

Li Zhaoheng said angrily.

"I'm going to sue you for personal attack, slander, frame-up, and damaging my reputation!"

Seeing Li Zhaoheng about to jump up and point at him and curse, Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "Really? Am I slandering you, or is it the truth? I think we should let the facts speak for themselves!"

The people around also became excited.

Big news!
Super big news!
To Wing Hiu challenges Lee Siu Heng!

The Ming Pao reporters, who were at home, were especially excited at this moment.

Who would have thought that Du Yongxiao would bring such big news to Ming Pao as soon as he joined the newspaper.

"Speak with facts? Hahaha! Du Yongxiao, do you think I'm afraid of you? Come on, show me your facts!" Li Zhaoheng was not afraid at all.

The people around were in an uproar.

The overall atmosphere became tense and exciting.

"You want evidence, right? I'll give you that! Someone, bring the person up to me!"

Following Du Yongxiao's order, Datou Wen escorted Xigui and Wutou in from outside.

"Director, I'll bring the person here!"

Datou Wen stood at attention and saluted Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao nodded and said to the reporters around him, "Everyone, look carefully. Am I slandering Mr. Li, or has Mr. Li done something shameful and is feeling guilty?"

Before the reporters could react--
Xigui and Wutou immediately pointed at Li Zhaoheng and said, "It's him! It's him! He was the one who ordered us to set the fire!"

"That's right, he was the one who ordered us to burn Ming Pao! He said that by doing so he could put the blame on Mr. Du! Woohoo, we are innocent, we were just following orders."

Xigui and Wutou burst into tears in front of the media.

"This is just nonsense!" Li Zhaoheng pointed at Xigui and Wutou while holding a cigar. "How dare you two losers slander me here? Do I know you? Have I ever seen you? You actually said that I was the mastermind behind the arson. This is totally unreasonable!"

"Yes, you know Mr. Li. Have you met Mr. Li?" As Li Zhaoheng's trusted subordinate, Li Tiansheng stood up and reprimanded.

Xigui and Wutou were speechless, "This——"

"What this and that? Falsely accusing others is a serious crime!" Li Tiansheng said angrily, "Especially for the two of you, who are accusing a big shot like Mr. Li!"

The thin ghost and the headless man look at each other.

They immediately pointed their finger at Li Tiansheng: "Although we haven't seen him, we have seen you! You are the one who gave orders on his behalf every time!"

"That's right, I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes!"

Li Tiansheng's face changed: "Don't make trouble here. You just framed Mr. Li, and now you are accusing me. You are hopeless!"

After saying this, Li Tiansheng turned around and said to the reporters: "Everyone, look carefully. They are both low-class and low-class people. How can you take their one-sided words seriously? Especially since Mr. Li is a highly respected person. As for me, I have never even met them!"

There was a commotion.

“Yeah, who is Mr. Li, and why would he come into contact with such a nobody?”

"The Li family is a well-known and influential person, they would never do that!"

"These two little hooligans must be making false accusations!"

Listening to these discussions, Xigui and Wutou felt for the first time that they were extremely wronged in their lives.

I told the truth, but no one believed me!
In the past, they liked to talk nonsense and brag to others, and did not think that telling the truth was important. Now they know that the greatest tragedy in the world is that no one believes the truth.

Li Zhaoheng was extremely proud when he saw this.

Li Tiansheng smiled at him, meaning that there was no need for him to take any action against these two little bastards, he would help him deal with them.

The people around also collectively stood on Li Zhaoheng's side. After all, on one side was a gangster and on the other side was a tycoon. Everyone would believe a decent person like Li Zhaoheng.

Just when Li Zhaoheng and Li Tiansheng were feeling proud--
A voice said, "I can testify! Li Zhaoheng is a sinner! He was the one who hired me to set fire to Ming Pao, and he was the one who instigated me to assassinate Du Yongxiao!"

As he was speaking, a strong man limped in from outside, being supported by someone.

Li Tiansheng was shocked when he saw the person coming: "Why is it him?"

Looking at the man again, it turned out to be Lian Haodong, the brother of the loyal and righteous boss Lian Haolong!
Li Zhaoheng frowned: "What's going on?"

Du Yongxiao stepped forward, approached Li Zhaoheng, and whispered: "You know the situation best! Hey, there are a lot of reporters watching us, come on, smile! After all, you are a Hong Kong business tycoon, you can't give in at this time--"

Li Zhaoheng was so angry that his lungs almost exploded after hearing this, but he could only force a smile and pretend that nothing had happened. He said in a cold voice: "I don't even know who this person is! I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Be prepared and deny it to the death!
