Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 604 Playing the long game to catch the big fish

Upon hearing William's words, Peixin Huding stood up abruptly, her eyes wide: "Are you telling the truth? How do you know?"

William said calmly, "This President has been personally involved in everything since he took power. I don't need to say more about his condition; anyone who has met him knows that."

Peixin Huding remained adamant, stating, "What I need is solid evidence, not speculation!"

Although Li Yaohua looked like he was about to die at any moment, who knows how long he could hold on.

If they waited until he was still alive, they would have fallen into William's trap.

At that time, the only path awaiting the Hu Ding family was a bloody purge.

Besides, Pei Xin Hu Ding was just a little annoyed; he wouldn't be so foolish as to gamble the future of his entire family on a single possibility.

This is the character of a gambler, not the character of a mature family head.

William also knew that this alone was enough to persuade a local tyrant to do something.

So he laid it all out on the spot: "I have a spy under my command..."

“That’s impossible!” Before William could finish speaking, Peshin Huddin interrupted him directly: “Who doesn’t know how powerful the President’s Department of Investigation and Statistics is? The CIA of the United States, your MI6, Indonesia, and Malaysia have been trying to infiltrate the Presidential Palace for so many years without any success.”

"On the contrary, the Presidential Palace executes a number of foreign spies every year! You're telling me your spies have gathered information? Are you sure you're not joking with me?"

These local Malays weren't without their own schemes, but Lee Yao Hua's disciplinary department was simply too terrifying.

Over the years, there has never been any known case of a spy from any faction successfully infiltrating the Presidential Palace.

Peixin Huding completely dismissed William's nonsense.

But William didn't care at all, and lowered his voice to say, "Indeed, we can't infiltrate the Presidential Palace, but we can infiltrate other institutions! For example... President Li Yaohua's private medical team!"

"You don't actually think that Li Yaohua's anti-corruption department is that powerful, do you? Capable of protecting the Presidential Palace, and also other places?"

Upon hearing William's words, Peixin Huding was immediately taken aback.

That's right. No matter how powerful Li Yaohua is, or how all-encompassing the anti-corruption department is, it's impossible to guard against everything.

Moreover, these Englishmen didn't bother with the key departments; they simply gathered information from a medical team, which was quite straightforward.

After a moment of silence, Peixin Huding spoke up: "I need evidence, I must see the person!"

“Of course, that’s the premise of our cooperation!” William said with a smile. “And I didn’t just bring in a highly respected local like you to do this.”

Hearing William's words, Peixin Huding breathed a sigh of relief and said to William, "Since you put it that way, let's talk again after we get solid evidence!"

“Of course!” William bowed slightly and then decisively turned to take his leave.

This decisive and straightforward style makes him appear extremely confident.

……

At this time, in the presidential palace of the Brunei Kingdom.

Li Yaohua is receiving makeup from a professional team.

Looking at his once young and handsome self in the mirror, gradually aging, made Li Yaohua very uncomfortable.

Chen Jiajun was reading a report sent by the intelligence department.

This time, Silva personally took charge, working with Sla, and gathered very detailed information.

"Hmph, no wonder they say the English are the world's troublemakers. They're too busy taking care of themselves to have time to stir up trouble," Chen Jiajun snorted coldly, displeased.

Silva said calmly, "Those idiots on Chenning Street never think before they act! But I think this matter is not just the work of the British MI6. I think there are also shadows of the CIA and other forces behind it."

"Oh? How so?" Chen Jiajun raised an eyebrow and asked.

Silva looked at the report and pointed out several suspicious points: "Boss, look, these local tyrants belonged to different forces before, and there are even Chinese families among them. If it were just the English family, there would be absolutely no way they could persuade so many families at the same time."

Chen Jiajun clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Yaohua, it seems there are more than just one or two guys who want you dead!"

Li Yaohua sneered and said, "I'm used to it! I'm assassinated every day as soon as I leave the Presidential Palace."

Chen Jiajun slammed his fist on the table and said viciously, "What I don't understand are these damn Chinese families! Are their brains covered in shit?"

"Do they think they'll have a good life once a Chinese-American president gets into trouble? It hasn't been that long, have these idiots who were treated like fat pigs to be slaughtered already forgotten?"

Li Yaohua said coldly, "Boss, not everyone is qualified to be our compatriot. There are still quite a few collaborators within the Civic Party. If I didn't want to lure them all out, I would have killed them long ago!"

"Do you have any ideas about these powerful clans?" Chen Jiajun asked.

Given the current strength of Brunei, slaughtering these families would be no problem.

However, it might cause some trouble afterward.

Because these powerful clans control many industries on Kalimantan Island, how will they manage the various regions if they are easily wiped out?

That would definitely cause chaos throughout the country, so taking over wouldn't make any difference.

After finishing his makeup, Li Yaohua chuckled and said to Chen Jiajun, "Big Boss, I've already swallowed Kalimantan Island, and I don't have the habit of spitting it out!"

"My think tank has long been prepared. Once these local tyrants are eliminated, my team will be able to act swiftly and, at the lowest possible cost, suppress the entire island of Kalimantan."

"Although there will be some bloodshed, these natives are extremely docile and will definitely be able to quickly bring the situation under control."

Having served as president for so many years, Li Yaohua has developed a commanding presence befitting a leader.

She's no longer the novice who would frantically seek help from Chen Jiajun at the slightest trouble.

He not only made arrangements in advance, but also anticipated the thoughts of these local tyrants, which shows that he is already a mature politician.

Chen Jiajun slapped the table and said with a laugh, "Since that's the case, then let's put on a good show for them!"

Looking at his aged and tired reflection in the mirror, Li Yaohua couldn't help but smile: "This is exactly what I wanted. I'll have someone make the arrangements immediately."

"Is it too late?" Chen Jiajun asked.

“We’ve had enough time!” Li Yaohua said confidently. “Many of the Chinese we’ve taken in have quite a few effective methods of governance. Once they take over, those local tyrants will have a hard time causing any more trouble! But, boss, I need you to give me the authority to mobilize the troops!”

“Of course, you can just go find Bai Lu directly! She will cooperate with you,” Chen Jiajun said with a smile.

……

At this time, the capital of Brunei.

Inside a secluded seaside mansion.

This area was transformed into a wealthy neighborhood by Li Yaohua. Because of its proximity to casinos, wealthy people from all over the world have bought villas here for vacations.

So all sorts of people are here, and William is completely inconspicuous in this place.

That evening, several luxury cars quietly drove into the villa.

These people were the local tyrants in the various provinces of Kalimantan.

These were all natives persuaded by William, and there were even two Chinese among them.

Upon seeing two Chinese people arrive, the local tyrants from various regions were initially displeased and wanted to leave.

But William stopped him: "Don't worry, everyone. These two gentlemen from the Citizens Party are working for us and can be absolutely trusted!"

The English are masters at planting nails.

This was the case when Hong Kong was lost, and it was the same when control over Brunei was lost.

They can always find a few fanatical idiots who are converts to do things for them.

Peixin Huding frowned and asked, "Really?"

William laughed and said, "Doing this kind of thing can easily lead to death! Do you all think I'm tired of living? Besides, we're all in the same boat. If something happens to one of us, how can the others escape?"

After thinking about it, everyone agreed that it made sense, so they sat down.

After everyone was seated, William clapped his hands, and two burly men in black suits immediately dragged over a burlap sack.

After the burlap sack was opened, a panicked man was revealed.

William smiled and introduced to everyone, "Let me introduce you all, this is Dr. Wu, who provides medical services to our President!"

Dr. Wu shouted at William in a panic, "Who are you? What do you want? I don't have much money. Have you kidnapped the wrong person?"

William chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Wu. We invited you here just to ask you a question and to ask you for a favor."

"What...what do you want to ask?" Dr. Wu asked, looking flustered.

"No rush!" William said with a smile, "Before answering our questions, please introduce yourself!"

Left with no other option, Dr. Wu revealed that he was the head of Li Yaohua's private medical team.

Peshin Hudin asked impatiently, "How is the President's health? Tell me quickly!"

Dr. Wu was taken aback at first: "Why are you asking this?"

William frowned and said unhappily, "Mr. Wu, you seem unaware of your current situation! You only have the right to answer, not the right to ask questions!" "To make you face reality, I specially invited your wife and daughter here to wake you up!"

William clapped his hands again, and then the burly man dragged the two women, one big and one small, over.

The two women hugged each other, crying their hearts out, which completely broke Dr. Wu: "What do you want to do, you beasts!"

No one present paid any attention to Dr. Wu's angry roar.

After all, they are not ordinary people; they are all excellent politicians.

Moreover, which of these people hasn't done something like this?

There are even more outrageous ones!

So Dr. Wu's struggles were futile, and instead provoked William's displeasure: "Mr. Wu, my patience is limited. If you continue to be so unreasonable, then we will have to take some inhumane measures against these two ladies!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present let out a strange "hehe" laugh.

Dr. Wu trembled all over after hearing this, and said with a humiliated expression, "Ask away! Don't touch my wife and daughter."

"Of course, if you know what's good for you, we won't touch your wife and daughters; instead, we'll give you a little reward!" William said with a smile. "The same question remains: please answer it!"

Dr. Wu, as if deflated, said helplessly, "The President's health is very poor. Many of his ailments are caused by overwork. It's a miracle that he's still alive."

“To be more specific, we need details!” William continued. “Don’t worry about us not understanding; I have experts in the medical field here.”

Dr. Wu then used his medical expertise to explain Li Yaohua's condition.

William spoke with his medical experts: "How is it?"

“If Dr. Wu is not lying, then His Excellency the President’s health is indeed critical!” The medical expert nodded and said, “A more detailed diagnostic report would make the judgment easier.”

"Yes, I have it!" Dr. Wu quickly said, "It's in my bag!"

William nodded and had someone bring over Dr. Wu's bag. Sure enough, they found a diagnostic report and even some X-ray films inside.

After examining the patient, the medical expert nodded solemnly: "That's right, indeed. This patient suffers from multiple chronic diseases, and there's nothing that can be done to save him."

"Very good, thank you, doctor!" William nodded in satisfaction, then said to the other local tyrants, "If you don't believe me, you can check this doctor's resume!"

William was the one who started this whole thing, acting as a lobbyist for these people everywhere.

Moreover, if this matter is not handled properly, he will be finished, so everyone believed him to some extent.

On each of their faces, an expression of interest appeared.

Peshin Hudin, however, was more cautious and asked again, "Mr. William, even if we know that His Excellency the President is nearing the end, what good will it do? He will surely have everything arranged before he dies. You know, this President has always been wary of us!"

Peixin Huding had really hit the nail on the head, and many local tyrants chimed in to agree.

William smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, we'll have to trouble Mr. Wu with this matter!"

“Him?” Peixin Huding frowned and said, “Although he has access to His Excellency the President, his every move is certainly under the surveillance of the Ministry of Justice. He shouldn’t be able to do anything underhanded, right?”

“That’s the beauty of it!” William said with a smile. “In medicine, it’s quite possible that two similar drugs can produce completely different effects. Mr. Wu, am I right?”

Dr. Wu finally understood what these people wanted to do, but when he saw his wife and daughter not far away, he couldn't say anything.

"The medicine His Excellency the President is taking is specially formulated. However, if one of the main drugs is replaced with another drug that has the same effect, the chemical reaction will cause great harm to His Excellency the President's body."

"I've already consulted medical experts!" William said with a smile, glancing at everyone. "They can even make the President die silently and without torture, so that even with technological means, it can't be detected!"

The medical expert standing nearby took out several reports of similar cases and handed them to the local tyrants present.

These local tyrants certainly couldn't understand these reports, but they could understand that without exception, the people in these cases died within a very short period of time.

"Really?" Peixin Huding said in surprise.

William spread his hands and said, "I think you all don't understand those complicated medical terms either, but the point is, I don't want to die, right?"

Upon hearing William's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

William said impatiently, "Gentlemen, I'm not asking you to be cannon fodder. I just need you to give me a push at crucial moments. Does that really need so much consideration? If something goes wrong, you can always shift the blame onto me, right? What's there to hesitate about?"

Now that the local tyrants had no more worries, they all raised their glasses and said, "Then... let's wish each other a pleasant cooperation!"

William smiled and raised his glass, saying, "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Since William dared to cause trouble in Brunei, he certainly wasn't just relying on the support of these local bullies.

Without the support of other intelligence agencies, he would have been captured by Li Yaohua's Rectification Department long ago.

The plan to change the medication is only one part of the whole process.

Of course, Li Yaohua knew about it too.

“Since they dare to cause trouble, they must have made thorough preparations,” Li Yaohua said with a sneer. “If they relied solely on these opportunists, they wouldn’t have enough lives to spare.”

Chen Jiajun nodded: "What methods do you think these guys will use?"

Li Yaohua frowned and said, "I haven't thought of anything yet, so I've been mobilizing the rectification department to investigate. We should have results from He Guorong's side soon."

As the two were talking, He Guorong walked in with his men.

Li Yaohua asked, "How is it? Have you found any clues?"

He Guorong nodded: "Those people that Old Evil asked us to investigate are indeed a bit strange!"

"What did they do?" Li Yaohua asked.

“I don’t know the specifics, but they always loiter around Liberty Square,” Ho Kwok-wing said, shaking his head. “I was afraid of being spotted, so I didn’t follow them closely.”

The Liberty Square that Ho Kwok-wing mentioned is a square not far from the Presidential Palace.

Here, Li Yaohua had Richard, the tyrant, executed, and thus acquired this name.

"Liberty Square?" Li Yaohua immediately stood up. "They want to make a move on the celebration day!"

Chen Jiajun then remembered that this year was the anniversary of Brunei's liberation from tyrants and colonizers, and a celebration would be held in Freedom Square, which would be the liveliest time in Brunei.

This is the most opportune time for them to deal with Li Yaohua.

Whether it's an assassination attempt or disrupting the celebration, it will undoubtedly deal a huge blow to Li Yaohua's rule.

If at this time, the local bullies on Kalimantan also rise up and attack.

Putting aside everything else, it would definitely keep Li Yaohua busy and flustered.

This would not only plunge the relatively stable Brunei Kingdom back into chaos, but also provide an opportunity for neighboring enemies.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun said to Li Yaohua, "The other party's methods are not simple!"

Li Yaohua also realized: "If their plan succeeds, it will definitely plunge the entire Brunei Kingdom into chaos! One thing leads to another, this is not a plan that an ordinary person could come up with."

“Of course!” Chen Jiajun said with a sneer, “They also have a think tank! Those guys definitely don’t want to see a thriving Brunei, as it would affect their plans in Asia.”

Chen Jiajun was not surprised at all that people from MI6 and the CIA had joined the team.

These people had already noticed him. No matter how low Chen Jiajun tried to keep a low profile, conflicts with them were inevitable as Brunei developed.

In previous conflicts, these intelligence agencies had all suffered defeats.

It's estimated that Chen Jiajun's name has long been on the blacklist of these intelligence agencies.

As for why they didn't take action in the United States, it's because Chen Jiajun's attempt to obtain the identity of a "California consortium" wasn't for nothing. Even if they had a few more lives, they wouldn't dare to touch Chen Jiajun on American soil.

But things are different here in Asia; they can use any means to attack Chen Jiajun.

For example, this time, the target was Li Yaohua, the most important person under Chen Jiajun.

Li Yaohua said with a headache, "This is a bit troublesome. It's easy to deal with those targeting me, but if they want to cause trouble on the celebration day, we have no way to defend ourselves first!"

"After all, on that day, all the dignitaries from Kalimantan will be there. We can't just stop other people from getting in, can we? They'll definitely make a big fuss about it then!"

Chen Jiajun added, "That's not all. If those local bullies cause trouble, you'll still be in trouble!"

After hearing this, Li Yaohua's mind started working quickly.

They don't have enough manpower. If they are responsible for security on the day of the festival, then there will be no one to guard those local bullies who are eager to cause trouble. If they don't take care of them, then there is no way to guarantee the safety of the day of the festival.

This put Li Yaohua in a dilemma: "Damn it, these bastards must have found out about our current manpower through other means, and deliberately created this situation. We don't have enough manpower."

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "Finding out how many people we have on our side isn't difficult, but... they're being too naive."

"Boss, do you have a solution?" Li Yaohua's eyes lit up immediately.

Chen Jiajun smiled slightly and said, "It's time to let them see the power of technology. Come with me!"

"Huh? Where are we going now?" Li Yaohua asked, looking completely bewildered.

"The laboratory," Chen Jiajun said with a smile, patting Li Yaohua on the shoulder. "You'll understand what I mean once you see Orn's technology." (End of Chapter)
