Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 250 Cat and Mouse Game
Inside the conference hall of the Presidential Palace.

When the local officials saw Li Yaohua walk in, they immediately stood up and called him "President".

The old guys from the Citizens' Society didn't even stand up. Instead, they casually said, "Yaohua, you've finally arrived. What have you thought about the foreign trade matter I mentioned to you last time?"

Li Yaohua glanced coldly at the old man who had spoken, but instead of saying anything, he sat down.

The old man pressed on with a disgruntled look, "What do you mean? You should at least say whether you agree or not."

“That’s right, Yaohua, don’t forget, we were the ones who put you in this position of President.” Mr. Hu, the vice president of the Citizens’ Association, even gave Li Yaohua a few words of advice.

In their view, Li Yaohua, this young man, was not very capable, and he needed the help of the older generation to get many things done.

Li Yaohua coldly looked at the two old men and said, "Is that so? In other words, I have to thank you two for my position as president?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Li Yaohua's words.

Because they had never seen Li Yaohua speak to them like that before.

They usually address each other as "senior" or "vice president".

After being directly rebuked, Vice President Hu realized that the atmosphere was a bit off and didn't dare to continue speaking.

Meanwhile, another veteran of the civic society, oblivious to the danger, said, "Young people should know how to be grateful. Without us, do you think you, a young person, could have managed such a huge mess?"

Li Yaohua didn't speak, but He Guorong, who was beside him, suddenly moved.

He walked directly behind the old man, grabbed his head, and slammed it hard onto the table.

This action startled everyone present.

Although He Guorong had a smile on his face, his eyes were icy cold: "You seem to have forgotten who rescued you old guys from the dark prison back then?"

As He Guorong was speaking, a group of fully armed political department members rushed in.

When the members of the Citizens' Society saw Li Yaohua suddenly turn hostile, their faces turned pale with fright.

These people were cowardly good-for-nothings; otherwise, Richard wouldn't have succeeded so easily.

They're experts at infighting, but they don't have the guts or the strength to go toe-to-toe with each other.

Li Yaohua glanced at everyone and said, "Originally, I planned to return the plantations, factories, and other places that Richard had forcibly seized to you, and have the Brunei Industrial Fund provide you with a low-interest loan so that you could rebuild your businesses."

"Unfortunately, human greed is always insatiable. Perhaps you have taken my kindness as my weakness and have dared to take advantage of me."

Li Yaohua's voice wasn't loud, but his tone was unusually cold.

Now those old guys in the Citizens' Society are scared, they're really scared.

Only then did they realize that this young man had accomplished quite a few great things.

Even now, he is the sole ruler of Brunei.

The reason for those misconceptions was simply because Li Yaohua appeared too calm.

So, sometimes people are just like that.

"Yaohua... no, Your Excellency President, we were bewitched, please spare us this time." The once arrogant Vice President Hu was the first to plead for mercy.

A hint of disdain appeared on Li Yaohua's lips: "Spare you? It's not impossible. But we'll have to see how you perform, Kato."

Upon hearing Li Yaohua call his name, Kato immediately stood up: "President, what are your orders?"

"What are the results of the investigation?" Li Yaohua asked casually.

Kato took out a ledger, looked at it, and said, "President, the list of people who embezzled state assets is here."

As he spoke, Kato took out a list and respectfully placed it in front of Li Yaohua.

Li Yaohua glanced at it, then handed it to He Guorong beside him, saying, "Brother Rong, I'm leaving this matter to you."

Upon seeing this list, many members of the Civic Society present felt their legs go weak.

You should know that they took advantage of this chaos to line their own pockets quite a bit.

They even pocketed a significant portion of Richard's assets.

They originally thought Li Yaohua was a pushover and wouldn't dare to do anything to them even if he found out.

But what they didn't expect was that the reckoning would come so quickly.

For a moment, cries of pleas for mercy rose and fell, some weeping bitterly, others throwing tantrums.

But who is Ho Kwok-wing? Before being controlled by Chan Ka-chun, he was known for being ruthless and would directly arrest people according to the list.

The guards stood watchful to the side, ready to strike anyone who dared to cause trouble with the butt of their rifles.

In just a few moments, half the people at the long table in the conference room were gone.

Seeing that the conference table was no longer a mess, Li Yaohua nodded and said, "Good, the parasites have been cleared away. Let's get down to business and discuss the future development of our Brunei Kingdom."

Hearing Li Yaohua's words, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

New emperors usually give a reward upon assuming the throne, either money or a new position.

Everyone stared expectantly at Li Yaohua, awaiting the president's reward.

Li Yaohua did not disappoint those present and quickly established his own team.

Important positions, including those in diplomacy, economics, and administration, were assigned.

Although there are certainly some people among them who are not up to the task, Li Yaohua does not have a good solution at the moment.

After assigning tasks along the way, everyone was curious to find that Li Yaohua had not mentioned anything about military matters.

Chen Jiajun will not allow anyone to interfere with the defense forces on Brunei Island.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Li Yaohua, a young man; rather, it was that others had already set their sights on him.

Vincent, that American devil, had long wanted to use Brunei as a springboard for them.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for Li Yaohua to overthrow Richard this time.

The reason why the United States is willing to support Li Yaohua internationally this time is probably inseparable from Vincent.

Given the greedy nature of these foreigners, they'll probably come knocking on our door soon, demanding something in return.

Chen Jiajun wanted Brunei to be his own territory, not a drug den where people grew marijuana.

Therefore, he is destined to make Vincent and his backers return empty-handed this time.

However, he couldn't afford to offend these bastards too much right now. Chen Jiajun had been waiting for an opportunity to drive these annoying foreigners out of his territory.

Regarding the defense of Brunei, Chen Jiajun will first have the security company take on the responsibility.

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, the Englishmen, having been thoroughly annoyed by Chen Jiajun, were temporarily unable to cause him any trouble.

So Chen Jiajun had a few rare days of peace and quiet, and he even brought all his women back.

However, Chen Jiajun's good days were interrupted not long afterward.

There was a problem at Guojun Garment Factory, and Lu Jinqiang came to visit with a worried look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Chen Jiajun asked Lu Jinqiang, looking at him with some confusion.

Lu Jinqiang sighed and said, "Ah Jun, I've embarrassed you."

Chen Jiajun immediately laughed: "Hehe, you're making it sound so serious."

Left with no other option, Lu Jinqiang could only tell Chen Jiajun about a recent incident.

It turns out that a major incident recently occurred at Guojun Garment Factory. Someone used forged withdrawal slips to withdraw a large quantity of goods from the factory and sold them at extremely low prices.

Although the loss was only a batch of goods, amounting to only a few million, the consequences were extremely severe. This batch of low-priced clothing from Guojun Garment Factory severely impacted the Hong Kong domestic market.

This not only disrupted market order but also caused enormous damage to the reputation of Guojun Garment Factory.

Lu Jinqiang said with a grim expression, "I don't know which bastard did this, it's really despicable."

Upon hearing Lu Jinqiang's words, Chen Jiajun immediately frowned.

Money is a minor issue; what matters is the reputation of Guojun Garment Factory.

"Have you found the person who made the forgery?" Chen Jiajun asked.

Lu Jinqiang shook his head: "We've already called the police, but there's been no movement for several days."

"Where are the forged documents? Let me see them," Chen Jiajun said, stroking his chin.

Lu Jinqiang nodded, then took out the receipt and placed it in front of Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun looked at the receipt in front of him and couldn't find any flaws for a moment.

"Why would someone with this level of expertise target our garment factory?" Chen Jiajun's face immediately darkened, and he silently wondered to himself, "Could it be some British devils?"

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun put away the forged documents and then said to Lu Jinqiang, "Go find the public relations department of Guojun Group and ask them to help with an emergency public relations effort."

"I'll figure out a way to deal with this guy who's faking it."

Chen Jiajun looked at the forged document in his hand, then picked up the phone.

Inside a rented room in a building in Wan Chai.

Several young people were cheering as they looked at the sacks of banknotes in front of them.

"Boss, you were right. Hong Kong really is a land of money."

The young man said excitedly to his older brother.

The young men in the room all looked remarkably alike; it was obvious at a glance that they were brothers.

The eldest brother put down his paintbrush and said calmly, "This is nothing. With this little bit of money, we won't even have enough to build a house back home."

"That's already pretty impressive, isn't it?" The youngest of the four said exaggeratedly, "Our village chief built a two-story house and look how smug he is! We'll build a three-story house when we go back this time."

The eldest brother laughed and scolded, "Look at your pathetic self, satisfied with just three floors? I brought you guys to Hong Kong to make a fortune. Remember the movie 'A Better Tomorrow' that I took you to see before?"

Upon hearing their leader's words, the other three brothers' eyes lit up: "Boss, shall we make counterfeit money too?"

"What counterfeit money? Do you think this is a movie? We're making counterfeit checks." The leader said with a laugh, "The boss has already taken care of everything for us. All we have to do is get the circuit board and we can start. So you guys better behave yourselves these next few days."

Hearing the leader's words, the other three nodded repeatedly.

After all, they had witnessed the level of the boss behind the scenes, who was able to make so much money with just a forged invoice.

A few days later, the four brothers worked together and finally figured out the design of the fake check.

They were preparing to make a deal with the boss behind the scenes.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, they discovered that the mysterious boss had not yet appeared.

And what appeared here was a young foreigner.

The foreigner was wearing a well-fitting suit and had a handsome appearance; he looked to be at most a recent graduate.

"You've arrived?" The young man stood up immediately upon seeing the four people approaching.

The leader asked with some suspicion, "You're that... boss?"

The young man laughed and said, "Of course not. The boss is too busy to see you right now. He told me to come and get the things. Where are they?"

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother immediately handed over the sample pattern he had prepared.

The young man took it out, glanced at it, nodded, and said, "Very good. Keep your phones on; the boss will contact you at any time."

The eldest brother immediately beamed and accepted the banknotes handed to him by the young man, stuffing them into his pocket.

Then, with a few of his brothers, he walked out of the hotel.

After the four people left, the young foreigner revealed a contemptuous smile: "As expected, a bunch of greedy fools, but their drawing skills are really good."

After packing up the blueprints, the young man returned to the hotel and changed his clothes.

In an instant, he went from being a secretary to a successful man to a flight attendant.

His speech and behavior were so flawless that no one could detect the slightest flaw.

He took a taxi directly to the airport to prepare to leave Hong Kong.

His principle is that he never stays in one place for too long.

Upon arriving at the airport, the young man planned to use his uniform to sneak onto the plane.

While I was tidying up my clothes in the airport restroom, I was suddenly attacked from behind and hit hard with a stick.

When he woke up again, he was already in a room.

The young man covered his forehead and said with a pained expression, "Where am I?"

At that moment, a cold voice rang out beside the young man: "Name."

The young man was startled and quickly said, "Hey buddy, I have some money in my wallet if you want it back, please don't hurt me, okay?"

The other party ignored the young man and instead said impatiently, "You only have ten seconds to name me."

As he spoke, the young man clearly heard the sound of a pistol being cocked.

The young man immediately stopped talking nonsense and quickly said, "Frank, Frank Abagnale."

That's right, the young man's name is Frank, the youngest person on the CIA's most wanted list.

A wanted criminal who wrote bad checks totaling $6 million in 50 states across the United States and 28 countries worldwide.

Upon hearing Frank mention his name, the mysterious man smiled and said, "You're the youngest master con artist in America? The one known as 'Skywalker,' Frank?"

Frank paused for a moment and said, "Why have I never heard of this title before?"

"Enough with the nonsense. Did you get the orders for Guojun Garment Factory?" The mysterious man seemed to have a bad temper.

Now that they had caught him, Frank didn't dare to say anything out of line and could only nod and admit, "It was me."

"Where are your accomplices?"

"Um... will I be able to live if I tell you what I said?" Frank asked timidly.

The mysterious man laughed angrily: "You still want to bargain with me? Speak up, or I'll smash your head in."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you." Frank didn't dare to waste any more words and immediately gave the other party the phone numbers of the four brothers.

After getting the phone, Frank felt as if the gun that had been pressed against the back of his head had been removed.

Only then did he dare to secretly turn his head to look at the mysterious person who had kidnapped him.

Frank was stunned when he saw it.

Because the person who kidnapped him was not the burly man he had imagined, but rather a very hot young woman.

This person was Bai Lu, one of Chen Jiajun's subordinates.

After receiving the information from Frank, she immediately reported it to Chen Jiajun.

After finishing the call, Bai Lu discovered that Frank had been spying on her. She immediately punched Frank Yingjun in the face, knocking the poor man unconscious.
