Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 887 Funeral
"Arms business!"

"Can a space capsule destroy our Magnesium Country?"

"An electromagnetic pulse bomb with a 1000-kilometer explosion radius?"

The head of the Magnesium University, who was woken up in the early morning, had not yet recovered from the news of the satellite out-of-control incident, and was now confused by the new information sent from Hong Kong Island.

After a moment, the chief steward seemed to remember something and frowned as he asked the people in the reception room, "You just said that Zhang Heping attended the annual meeting of the Chinese business community today and was interviewed?"

"Isn't he badly burned? Is there something wrong with your intelligence?"

Before these people could explain, the secretary who had just reported the satellite out of control came back and brought in a middle-aged man in military uniform.

"Mr. Chief Steward, the missile launched by the Peace Corps has circled the Earth twice, passing over our cities of Huadu and Newdu respectively. This is a serious provocation, and we must retaliate!" The man in military uniform spoke excitedly, but received no response.

Before the man in military uniform could continue speaking, the secretary stepped forward and placed a stack of paper documents in front of the chief steward, saying slowly:
"This is the monitoring data sent by the Space Administration. The missile launched by the Peace Group reached an altitude of 444 kilometers above the ground and a speed of Mach 12 per hour. The number of trajectory changes detected so far has reached 5887, and the flight distance has exceeded 8 kilometers.

When the Magnesium State General Manager heard this data, his brows furrowed even deeper, but he still asked, "Can it be intercepted?"

No one answered this question. Even the man in military uniform who had just shouted for a fight back became speechless.

After a while, the Magnesium State's chief steward spoke again, "Find some genetic and biological experts to come to a meeting and determine the danger level of the Peace Group's space capsule!"

After watching the launch of the black missile without any number, Tang Ming, Tang Ren, Tang Lie and Tang Qiang, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, returned to Tang Ren's Villa No. 117 in silence.

Tang Qiang was lying on the sofa in the living room, holding his phone. He read the military section of the World Internet Forum for a while. Suddenly, he sat up and looked at Tang Ren, frowning and said:

"Dad, what were you thinking when you broke into the underground weapons depot that day?"

"I feel like this missile today was meant for us and the Taiwanese!"

Tang Ren didn't want to answer at first, but after being hit by his father Tang Ming's cane, he sighed helplessly, "It would be fine if he just cut off the mobile phone parts, but we came all the way back to Shenzhen, and he sent us back to Hong Kong Island like he was guarding against thieves."

"I couldn't figure it out that day, so I wanted to test these veterans of the Tang family to see how many of them were still loyal to us, the Tang family."

"The result, alas..."

"What you sow is what you gain!" Tang Ming sat on the sofa in the middle, his hands resting on the top of his crutches, and said in a deep voice:
"When you and Lao Er gave up on these veterans, you should have thought of this outcome!"

"Besides, your brother-in-law is supporting these people and their families with a large sum of money. Why do you think they will still be loyal to you?"

"It's hard to explain this to my uncle," said the eldest son, Tang Lie, frowning. "What I'm worried about now is whether my uncle suspects we're colluding with the Magnesium government, which is why he's displaying the warhead in public!"

Huadu, Baiyun Mountain.

Mr. Zheng could not resist the repeated visits from the former mayor Suzuki, and finally on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he made an appointment to go hiking together in the afternoon.

However, when the two men climbed to the top of the mountain and sat down to rest under a pavilion, just when former Mayor Suzuki was about to talk about business, one of his and Mr. Zheng's entourage came over quickly.

"The explosion radius is 1000 kilometers?" Former Mayor Suzuki exclaimed, looking at his follower in disbelief.

The reason why he was so surprised was probably because he thought that if the electromagnetic pulse bomb fell on the eastern part of Japan Island, the explosion range could almost cover the entire island!
Mr. Zheng had apparently also received the news that Zhang Heping was causing trouble in Hong Kong Island.

However, when he heard that Mr. Hua and Mrs. Zheng had already gone to Hong Kong Island, his worries subsided somewhat.

In front of the former mayor Suzuki not far away, Mr. Zheng said to the other entourage who were approaching, "It seems that our consultant Zhang is dissatisfied with the low efficiency of domestic affairs and has gone to seek an explanation from the Japanese and the Magnesian people!"

After a while of communication, the accompanying staff also learned what Zhang Heping had done in Hong Kong Island today.

After Mr. Zheng finished communicating with the Japanese people, he suggested going down the mountain.

Former Mayor Suzuki wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zheng Lao. "You and I are very clear about what happened and the whole story."

"The current question is how you, Japan and Magnesium, plan to resolve this matter!"

"Go back!" Mr. Zheng left first. "Your daughter and son-in-law haven't been abused, but they still have to bear the legal responsibility."

Former Mayor Suzuki hurried forward and said, "Mr. Zheng, can you please allow me to meet with my daughter and son-in-law? You can send someone to monitor the whole process."

"According to the European Space Agency!" the blonde secretary of the Governor's Office stood at the front of the conference room, holding a folder and reading, "The missile launched by the Peace Corps has already circled the Earth twice at a supersonic speed of Mach 12."

“Such fast missiles are impossible for the US to intercept!” A tall, muscular American in a black tuxedo, sipping coffee, said casually. “We can suggest to the US government that they purchase a batch of these missiles.” A brown-haired, bearded man smoking a cigar exhaled a puff of smoke and asked, “What if the Peace Group refuses to sell them?”

The tall Eagle Countryman smiled and said, "The Peace Group doesn't have a weapons production license. There are many restrictions in the mainland. I think as long as the conditions are attractive enough, they will definitely agree!"

At the edge of the meeting, the head of the CIA in Hong Kong interrupted and asked, "Is that electromagnetic pulse bomb real?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know after it explodes!" the Governor said coldly. "What I'm worried about now is that if the Japanese Mitsui and the Magnesium Special Intelligence Agency don't withdraw from Hong Kong Island, the Peace Group might issue an underground bounty, disrupting public order on Hong Kong Island."

There is no good way for the Eagle people here to solve this kind of problem.

Because as the date of Hong Kong's return approaches, their control over Hong Kong is gradually weakening.

The head of Standard Chartered Bank interrupted, "The Peace Group wants to cancel the Hong Kong dollar's linked exchange rate with the magnesium dollar. How should this be handled?"

"Should we sell some of our Standard Chartered Bank shares and exchange them for shares with the Peace Group, or offer other terms?"

"The Euro plan was just signed, and the specific implementation date has yet to be determined," a gentleman in a blond wig explained. "The Peace Group's proposal to abolish the magnesium-dollar peg is probably a smokescreen."

"I believe their purpose in this move is to acquire Standard Chartered Bank, funnel large sums of money into the Hong Kong stock market, and strangle those foreign investors who are driving up the prices of internet listed companies' stocks!"

Ignoring the disturbances from the outside world, Zhang Heping took Chen Shuting, Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan and others back to his home on the top of Taiping Mountain. He called his first wife Tang Xin who stayed in Shenzhen, and then went to the study on the second floor to tinker with the computer.

After dinner, Tang Hu and his son Tang Wei did not wait for Zhang Heping to go out for a walk, so they came to the middle villa and asked the bodyguard at the door to pass on the message.

The purpose of their trip was simple, which was to apologize for Tang Hu's previous wrong words so as not to affect Tang Wei's position.

Zhang Heping did not comment on this, but asked Tang Hu to help arrange the funeral tomorrow morning and then let them leave.

Zhang Heping naturally knew that it was difficult for Tang Hu to be caught in the middle, but Umbrella Security Company had kept him at a high salary for so many years. He lightly said he would resign, but he did not consider the heavy responsibilities of the position of security manager, nor did he consider Zhang Heping's trust in him.

What's more, when he said this, it had only been a few days since Zhang Heping was seriously injured!

As dusk fell, Zhang Heping waited until Elder Hua and Elder Zheng arrived before going upstairs to rest, leaving the two elders with many things they wanted to say but holding back.

At 5 a.m. the next day, as the sky was just getting light, the Renheyi community began to become noisy.

The bodyguard who was burned to death is going to be buried today on the southern slope of Taiping Mountain, facing the sea. It is a Feng Shui treasure land purchased by the Peace Group in the early years.

To the east of this cemetery are the hillside villas of wealthy families such as the Li family and the Chen family, as well as high-end residential buildings such as Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay.

If it is used to build a sea view house, the selling price will definitely not be low!

Unfortunately, it was used by Zhang Heping as the group's internal cemetery.

By the way, in Hong Kong Island where land prices are rising, the price of cemeteries is also extremely expensive.

Zhang Heping uses the cemetery as a welfare benefit, just like welfare housing, in order to win the hearts of his employees.

His approach actually does not conflict with his request to Chen Shuting to encourage employees to start their own businesses.

Because those who start their own businesses are psychologically more receptive to the investment and subsequent guidance from the Peace Group.

Therefore, even if they go out to start their own business, they are still members of the Peace Department.

Of course, we cannot rule out the existence of people like yellow-eyed dogs, traitors, and gamblers.

Otherwise, Zhang Heping would not have to get up early in the morning and take his concubine and two children to attend the funeral of his deceased bodyguard.

If he didn't constantly win over the hearts of his subordinates, how could he maintain such a large business territory?

Since it is done for outsiders to see, a lot of people must be called to accompany you.

For this purpose, the management of Heping Group and its subordinate companies were called in this morning.

Zhang Heping didn't say anything. He remained silent throughout the funeral. Others could only guess at his intentions...
