Hong Kong General: Undercover and Liansheng, from 49 to leader

Chapter 274 [274] Brother, do you want me to take you back home in a private plane?
Ming Pao once counted what news Hong Kong residents liked to read the most, and the number one topic was infighting among wealthy families.

Especially the internal fight between father-in-law and daughter-in-law in Shimao Real Estate is even more eye-catching.

TVB and Asia Television also wanted to "watch the fun and make trouble" and went directly to interview Judy Tong. It is not known whether it was intentional or "accidental".

In response to this, Judy Tang said that Wang Baiwan’s condition was indeed very bad, but they were still trying their best to rescue him. If something unfortunate really happened, she would announce it as soon as possible.

After Judy Tang's interview was expedited for broadcast, Wang Baiwan's old father Wang Zhongying also took the initiative to find the two major TV stations, saying that he had definite information proving that his son Wang Baiwan was dead.

Moreover, his son Wang Baiwan also left a will, leaving all the inheritance to his old father. If Tang Judy still says that Wang Baiwan is not dead, then let Tang Judy bring the TV station's reporters to verify it in person.

The citizens of Hong Kong Island were fully satisfied with the infighting among the wealthy families for a whole morning. The only thing that made them feel pity was that after Wang Zhongying's "exposure", Judy Tong seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and did not make any response.

While all the citizens of Hong Kong Island were looking forward to how this "internal fight among the rich" would play out, the director of this play, Lu Yaowen, was meeting with Huo Tianren at the InterContinental Hotel in Hong Kong Island.

"Professor Huo, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Lu Yaowen looked at Huo Tianren who was sitting in front of him with a bright smile on his face.

This person is a truly good person. He handed the mutual aid association he founded to Lu Yaowen, saving Lu Yaowen a lot of effort.

"Mr. Lu, I've been wondering if it was a wrong decision to bring you into the mutual aid association."

“I thought about this question for a long time before I got the answer.”

Although he was completely sidelined by Lu Yaowen, Huo Tianren's face remained very calm, as if he didn't care about the Mutual Aid Association at all.

"Ok?"

Lu Yaowen looked at Huo Tianren with interest.

"I was too naive. Most of the people who originally joined the mutual aid society did not share the same ideals as me. They only wanted themselves. Regardless of whether you, Lu Yaowen, are there or not, the final outcome of the mutual aid society will be failure."

"Your arrival has only accelerated this process."

At this point, Huo Tianren paused slightly, his tone full of sincerity: "To be honest, Mr. Lu, I also want to thank you. It is you who made me see my shortcomings, allowing me to correct my practices in time and establish a new mutual aid association, a real mutual aid association."

"Then I have to congratulate Professor Huo. I remember when we first met, I told you that I hope both of us can realize our wishes."

Lu Yaowen's tone was also very sincere.

"Tell me, Mr. Lu, is there anything else I can do to help you?"

Huo Tianren looked at Lu Yaowen deeply, then spoke slowly.

"Professor Huo, take a look at these photos."

Lu Yaowen pushed a stack of photos in front of Huo Tianren. The people in the photos were all "ICAC investigators" sent by the Political Department to force Zeng Xiangrong to "commit suicide."

"?"

After looking at these photos, a hint of doubt flashed in Huo Tianren's eyes.

However, his doubts were soon answered by Lu Yaowen: "Professor Huo, these so-called ICAC investigators are all agents of the Special Branch. Under the rule of the Eagles, any department in Hong Kong Island is a tool of the Eagles' rule. There is no fairness or justice at all."

Huo Tianren still didn't say anything, just looked at Lu Yaowen quietly.

"Professor Huo, I think ICAC is the most suitable place for mutual aid association. Even I have to admit that if ICAC can really treat Chinese and Eagle people equally, it can be regarded as a rare 'good policy' for Eagle people."

"Unfortunately, ICAC cannot do that. It is 100% controlled by the Americans. It can only be a tool for the Americans to control the Chinese."

"If you can make ICAC an absolutely fair supervisory body, believe me, your dream will be halfway accomplished."

Many Chinese investigators in ICAC are very naive. They really think they are doing it for the good of Hong Kong Island and Huo Tianren is simply a "spiritual mentor" "tailor-made" for them.

Use Huo Tianren to "subvert" the Eagle people's absolute control over ICAC and let the ICAC people deal with the Eagle people. This is why Lu Yaowen met with Huo Tianren this morning.

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, Huo Tianren looked at Lu Yaowen deeply. As a professor of psychology, he had to admit that this guy Lu Yaowen was really good at bewitching people.

Although he was well prepared and extremely cautious, he was still moved after hearing what Lu Yaowen had just said.

"You also said that the Eagles have absolute control over ICAC. Why do you think I can overthrow the Eagles' control over ICAC?"

Huo Tianren asked this question very slowly.

"The human heart."

"The Eagles can control the personnel, finances and other powers of ICAC, but they cannot control people's hearts."

"The reason why ICAC is so popular in Hong Kong and has such a high status is not because of the power given by the foreigners, but because of the passion of the young Chinese investigators in ICAC and their ideals and beliefs. These are the cornerstones of ICAC."

At this point, Lu Yaowen paused slightly and patted the photo that Huo Tianren had placed on the table. "If those Chinese investigators find out that they are just tools being used, and their ideals and beliefs are just a joke that can be used in the eyes of the Eagles, what do you think will happen?"

"..."

Huo Tianren remained silent, his eyes full of horror.

"The Eagles cannot control the hearts and minds of the millions of Hong Kong Island citizens, nor can they stop the will of the millions of citizens. The people are on the side of the Chinese investigators, and these Chinese investigators are the ICAC."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

"Mr. Lu, I now regret recruiting you into the mutual aid association. Perhaps without you, the mutual aid association I founded can last a few more years."

Huo Tianren felt that he, a psychology professor, was almost convinced by Lu Yaowen.

This guy's means of manipulating people's hearts were simply the strongest he had ever seen in his life, and Lu Yaowen took the "grand road", presenting facts and reasoning, which was a blatant "open conspiracy" that made people fall into the trap willingly.

"Professor Huo, forgive me for being blunt, but you took the wrong path from the beginning. You should have chosen ICAC as your target. People have emotions and desires, and they are selfish. Even if you are a god, you can't control them. All you can do is hold the last hurdle and ensure fairness within the rules."

Lu Yaowen's tone was very serious.

"Mr. Lu, I'm curious. If it's true as you said, that ICAC has become a pure supervisor, it seems to be only bad for you, not good, right?"

The underworld makes money most of the time by exploiting loopholes in the law. Once the police force really enforces the law strictly, the underworld business will definitely be greatly affected.

"My enemies are first and foremost the Eagle people and their subordinates, the traitors and foreign dogs. This is the main contradiction. As for other minor contradictions, they can be considered later."

Lu Yaowen replied with a smile.

"Main contradiction, secondary contradiction..."

Huo Tianren whispered, as if he suddenly realized something. He looked at Lu Yaowen with his former wisdom: "Mr. Lu, you gave me these photos because you want me to destroy the ICAC Chinese investigators' loyalty to the Eagles, right?"

"It's not about loyalty, it's just that these Chinese investigators have a special filter for the Eagles, and the Eagles are greedy for money, so they are indeed more rigorous. They are famous for being whores and trying to be virtuous."

Lu Yaowen laughed.

"I understand what you mean, Mr. Lu. Thank you for pointing me to a new path."

Huo Tianren thanked Lu Yaowen solemnly.

"Professor Huo, the two of us are still allies until now."

Lu Yaowen blinked at Huo Tian.

"Yes, we are still allies. I will never forget this cup of tea."

Huo Tianren picked up the already cold tea in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, then stood up and left without any hesitation.

"Let's go, it's time to set off for Repulse Bay."

After Huo Tianren's back disappeared from his sight, Lu Yaowen turned his head and said with a smile to Gao Gang, Abu and Aji who were standing not far behind him.

Not only does Lu Yaowen not hate idealists like Huo Tianren, but he admires them very much. Lu Yaowen has always been very tolerant towards these people. Even if they block Lu Yaowen's way, Lu Yaowen will just kick them away.

Of course, if the number of times he blocked the opponent increased, then it couldn’t be blamed on Lu Yaowen for using too much force…

……

Also on the same morning, in Stanley Military Camp.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the new Chief Superintendent of the Special Branch, Moore, and your future boss."

'Moore' held his head high and delivered his inaugural speech with a proud look on his face.

"I'm telling you very frankly, in my eyes, you are all trash, poor creatures who rely on charity from others to survive."

"..."

Hearing what Moore said, Johnny and the others were upset, but they couldn't refute it.

After all, they really survived by relying on "charity".

"I want to reform the entire political department. You rubbish are not qualified to make decisions on your own. You can only cooperate with my people."

With just one word, 'Moore' was going to strip the power of these mixed race and Chinese police officers in the Special Branch.

But these people are unable to resist at all because they have no confidence at all.

"I will send new appointments to each of you. Your next job is to cooperate with your new boss and familiarize yourself with the work as quickly as possible. This will also prove that you bunch of useless people are somewhat useful."

At this point, Moore raised his voice and said, "You should be thankful that you are only police officers of the Political Department and not soldiers in the army. Otherwise, the person standing in front of you now would not be me, but a judge of the military court."

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Yes, sir."

"The voice was too soft, I didn't hear it clearly."

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing this resounding response, Moore smiled and nodded, then said to the secretary standing behind him: "Send the new appointment letters to them."

After saying this, 'Moore' left quickly. Ten minutes later, he walked into the basement of an armory in Stanley Barracks and found the real Moore who was looking through the documents of the Political Department.

No one would have thought that the Special Branch’s information would be stored in the Stanley Barracks.

"Sir, I have done everything as you ordered."

'Moore' or Richard had a smile on his face, without any of the arrogance he had just shown.

"Richard, do you know why I want you to play the arrogant commander?"

Moore asked without even looking up.

“Play the long game and catch the big fish.”

Richard replied immediately.

"The Political Department is too sensitive. The other party will definitely take the bait. I want to see how decisive and ruthless Lu Yaowen's methods are."

Moore raised his head and spoke slowly.

On the document in his hand, there was a photo of Lu Yaowen.

"Sir, if you take action, Lu Yaowen will definitely be captured easily."

Richard immediately flattered him.

Moore ignored Richard's flattery and continued, "There must be a traitor in the Political Department, otherwise Lu Yaowen's people would not have been able to destroy the Political Department headquarters and capture Brown in such a short time."

"We must dig out the traitor quickly so that we can do our work with confidence."

At this point, Moore seemed to have thought of something and said to Richard: "Richard, next, you do this..."

"understand!"

After listening to Moore's plan, Richard nodded heavily.

"Now that the former members of the Special Branch have all had their power taken away, the traitors will definitely try every means to regain power. You, the arrogant and pleasure-seeking Chief Superintendent, are the best source of power."

"Even if he doesn't dare to bribe you, there are still several other targets for him. There will always be someone suitable for him."

Moore said slowly.

He didn't believe that Lu Yaowen's traitor could hold back for a few years without taking action, because by then the Political Department would have been disbanded.

"Sir, if you use this plan, everyone will fall for it."

Richard offered another flattery.

"Go ahead."

Moore waved his hand, indicating that Richard could leave.

"Mr. Moore, your plan is just an open plan, right?"

After Richard left, a voice was heard from deep in the archives room. It was the young foreigner who was in the same car with Moore when he left Kaider Airport.

"Of course. As an agent, you can't wait for the enemy to make a mistake. As long as there is suspicion, you can't let it go. Investigate what I assigned you to do as soon as possible. I want to see the results in a week."

Moore's tone was extremely calm.

"Understood, Mr. Moore."

The young ghost responded softly.

"Field, I promised your father to take care of you. If you find the traitor, I will make you a senior superintendent in the Special Branch. In a year, you can go to Gibraltar and become your assistant director."

Moore said slowly.

"Thank you, Mr. Moore."

Field smiled politely and decently, not getting carried away by the fact that he was going to be promoted. "You don't need to thank me for helping me, Baron Field. Complete the task as soon as possible and don't let your father down."

After Moore finished saying this, he continued to look down at the information related to Lu Yaowen.

Field on the side quietly retreated.

On the other side, Johnny left the Stanley military camp after receiving his appointment letter and accepting his new mission.

Afterwards, he immediately called Lu Yaowen.

"Mr. Lu, just now..."

Johnny repeated what had just happened to Lu Yaowen.

Lu Yaowen frowned slightly: "Johnny, my original plan was to ask the mainland to delay for a while, and then use Brown to exchange hostages with the Eagles to see if I can push you to a higher position and find the files of the Political Department."

"It seems that if the traitor is not found, the Eagles will not use you guys anymore. Even if they show that they want to use you, it's probably just to find the traitor."

At this point, Lu Yaowen's tone became particularly serious: "Johnny, you now have two choices. The first choice is to leave the Political Department immediately. I will arrange for you to live in the mainland for a period of time and turn you into a different person. Then you can choose which country to live in."

"The second option is a little more dangerous. You continue to lurk in the Political Department. I will find a way to push out a few scapegoats to clear your suspicion of being a traitor. Let's see if the Eagles will re-employ you."

“Mr. Lu, Henry and Sarah, how would you arrange it?”

Instead of giving his choice directly, Johnny asked a question.

It was obvious that he and Sarah had fallen in love.

"They will leave Hong Kong Island before you, but they will tell the public that they are going to Papua to look for gold mines."

Lu Yaowen replied.

"I choose the second option."

Johnny made his choice.

"Johnny, can you tell me why?"

Lu Yaowen was a little curious.

"I want to be Xie Tianning, not Johnny. If I leave now, I will never be reconciled in my life."

Xie Tianning said slowly.

The moment he caught Brown, the moment he shouted, "I am a human, not a dog, my name is Xie Tianning," Xie Tianning truly felt why he was alive.

It's not some lofty belief, he just wants to live like a human being.

"Aning, I promise you, even if you are caught, I will rescue you."

After hearing Xie Tianning's words, Lu Yaowen's expression changed slightly, and he made this promise in a very solemn tone.

"Thank you, Brother Wen."

A smile appeared on Xie Tianning's face.

"I should be the one thanking you, Aning."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

……

Half an hour later, Lei Yingdong arrived at his villa in Repulse Bay.

"Awen, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to have dinner with an old man like me."

Lei Yingdong gave Lu Yaowen the highest standards of etiquette. He personally stood at the door of the villa, waiting for Lu Yaowen.

"Mr. Lei, if you say something so polite, I'm going to get back in the car and leave."

Lu Yaowen pretended to get back into the car.

"Awen, you young man are trying to argue with an old man like me."

Lei Yingdong grabbed Lu Yaowen's wrist and walked into the villa.

Lei Zhenhuan, who was standing by, was watching this scene with shock in his eyes.

In his memory, his father Lei Yingdong was always serious and stern, never like he was just now.

It seems that I must do my best to improve my relationship with Lu Yaowen, Lei Zhenhuan made up his mind secretly.

"Awen, sit down."

Lei Yingdong waited until Lu Yaowen sat down before continuing, "Brother Qi Ran and I have discussed this and are planning to invite you to join the Hong Kong Island Chinese General Chamber of Commerce as an executive director."

"Ah? Mr. Lei, with my identity, is it inappropriate for me to join the Chamber of Commerce?"

Lu Yaowen was a little confused.

"Awen, you are totally wrong to think so. With your identity, it would be most appropriate for you to join the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce."

Lei Yingdong meant something.

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Lu Yaowen also understood immediately.

The Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce is still the third largest chamber of commerce in Hong Kong Island. It is much worse than the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, because only the "mainland faction" will join this chamber of commerce and dare to join this chamber of commerce.

However, in a few years, this Chinese General Chamber of Commerce will expand rapidly, and people like Li Huanggua and Li Zhaoji will also join this chamber of commerce "openly".

Lei Yingdong's meaning was very clear. In the future, he would let Lu Yaowen act as the "white face" in the Chamber of Commerce. If anyone wanted to join the Chamber of Commerce, they would have to hand in a "letter of allegiance" that would satisfy Lu Yaowen.

Lei Yingdong is not suitable for this "good guy" role, nor is Bao Yugang. Lu Yaowen is the most suitable person to play the role.

In addition, Lei Yingdong has a hidden meaning. After him and Bao Yugang, the second-generation leadership core of the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce is Lu Yaowen.

"In three days, there will be the Chamber of Commerce's monthly meeting. Brother Qi Ran and I will announce the news at the venue. Ah Wen, I will rely on you from now on."

The more Lei Yingdong looked at Lu Yaowen, the more satisfied he felt.

Throughout Hong Kong Island, there may be many people who would mind Lu Yaowen’s gangster identity, but Lei Yingdong is definitely not one of them.

Lei Yingdong is a member of the Tanka family who makes a living on the sea. Sometimes they are fishermen, and sometimes they are pirates.

Lei Yingdong, who has dealt with the Eagle people for decades, knows very well that it is useless to reason with them. They must be defeated head-on before they are willing to give up their interests.

What the "mainland faction" in Hong Kong lacks most now is people like Lu Yaowen.

In the following time, Lei Yingdong no longer talked about serious matters with Lu Yaowen, but chatted about all sorts of things. Lei Yingdong was particularly concerned about Lu Yaowen's marriage. If Lu Yaowen had not sternly refused, Lei Yingdong would probably have introduced a wife to Lu Yaowen on the spot.

……

That afternoon, a bombshell news came out. Tang Judy announced that Wang Baiwan had died of his injuries, but refused to acknowledge the copy of Wang Baiwan's will in Wang Zhongying's hand.

Wang Zhongying, who had been prepared, immediately sued Tang Judy in the regional high court.

Amidst the "great anticipation" of the public, at 5 p.m. that day, the President of the Adjudicatory Division of the High Court of Hong Kong Island announced that a public hearing would be held in a week on this inheritance dispute case involving tens of billions of dollars.

After the news came out, the nosy Hong Kong media had already picked out headlines such as "The biggest genetic dispute in history", "The conflict between father-in-law and daughter-in-law that cannot be ignored", "Can the father-in-law suppress the daughter-in-law", etc.

While the whole of Hong Kong Island was in an uproar over this inheritance dispute, at Kai Tak Airport, Niu Qi was sitting in a Rolls-Royce sedan, with a hint of shock still lingering in his eyes.

When he heard Lu Yaowen say yesterday that today's "scene" would be big, he was a little skeptical, thinking that Lao Niu was also a man who had seen the world, and no matter how big the scene was, it would not scare him.

Until Niu Zhong saw six Rolls-Royce cars lined up in front of him...

It's just a few pick-ups, is it necessary to make such a big deal?

A few minutes later.

"Mr. Niu, you really didn't lie to us. You are indeed very strong."

When the two Russians saw the six Rolls-Royce cars, their eyes lit up and they immediately felt at ease.

"Gentlemen, I have prepared some drinks to welcome you. Please follow me."

Niu Zhongzhi welcomed the two Russians into the car, and then told Abu, who was acting as the driver, to drive.

Niu Qizhong, like the two Russians, was completely unaware of Lu Yaowen's next arrangements. However, Lu Yaowen started with six Rolls-Royces, so needless to say, the next arrangements would also be extremely luxurious.

What he needs to do now is to be mentally prepared and be alert so as not to embarrass Mr. Lu.

After half an hour.

"..."

Niu Qizhong originally thought that he was well prepared, and that he would be able to remain calm even if Lu Yaowen took him to the palace. However, when he walked into the Wendy's Club, he was still shocked by what he saw.

It turns out that there really are people who use gold and diamonds as screens. Since entering the club, Niu Qizhong felt like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Every step he took seemed to discover a new world.

"So this is where the top rich people stay."

Niu was mentally prepared, but he was surprised. The two Russians were stunned. They had seen the world in the Bear Country, but here they discovered that evil capitalism is truly evil!
"Three gentlemen, Mr. Lu has ordered that you are the only guests here tonight. Please enjoy yourself."

At this time, Mona walked step by step to the front of three of Niu Zhongzhi, and every step she took was indescribably elegant and noble.

Even people like Niu are a little afraid to look directly at Mona.

In the following time, Niu Qizhong seemed to be living in a dream. What he ate, played and drank were all top-notch enjoyments. He didn't even dare to think about how much money this night would cost.

The two Russians fell on the spot. After getting drunk, they were so excited that they started dancing the political commissar dance, feeling indescribably happy.

The next morning, Niu was awakened by Maozi.

"Mr. Niu, we have no doubts about you and your friend's abilities. We have twelve Tu-154 passenger planes in our hands. As long as you are willing to provide tons of supplies, these twelve planes will be yours."

After enjoying a night of "debauchery" and "drunkenness", Maozi no longer had any doubts and immediately chose to trade with Niu Qizhong and Lu Yaowen, and even got two more passenger planes.

"What supplies do you need?"

Niu Zhongzhi suppressed his excitement and asked.

"Canned food, cotton clothes, matches, wine, all of these are fine."

Maozi replied immediately.

"I need to talk to my friend about this."

After Niu Qizhong said this, he immediately left the room and dialed Lu Yaowen's number.

"Mr. Lu, Maozi just made a condition..."

After the call was connected, Niu Qizhong immediately stated Maozi's conditions.

"I can give them 1,500 tons of canned food and cotton clothes, which can be shipped within a week. Of course, if they need them urgently, they can also send a transport plane to the airport in the Special Zone to load the goods."

"However, you have to tell them that I need them to send twelve passenger planes to the Special Zone. In addition, I want to rent their pilots. The price is negotiable."

Lu Yaowen gave his reply immediately.

With planes and pilots, he could immediately set up an airline to compete with Cathay Pacific.

Lu Yaowen had no intention of making money from this airline. He had only one goal, which was to defeat Cathay Pacific Airlines and make this company, which stank from top to bottom, disappear from this world.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I understand what you mean."

Niu Qizhong immediately nodded in response.

“Don’t forget the satellites.”

Lu Yaowen reminded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I won't forget it."

Niu Qizhong immediately nodded and smiled.

"Ah."

After hearing what Niu Qizhong said, Lu Yaowen hung up the phone.

Soon, Niu Qizhong called Lu Yaowen again.

"Mr. Lu, for the satellite, they need 30 million US dollars, and it can be launched in September this year. In addition, they will send a transport plane to transport the 1,500 tons of materials themselves, and 12 passenger planes will also go to the special zone airport together."

"As for the pilots, in addition to our salaries, we also need to pay them $50,000 per year."

Niu told the Russians the final conditions.

"Okay, tell Maozi that they will be able to see their material in three days. I hope I can also see my plane by then."

A smile appeared on Lu Yaowen's face.

At noon that day, a piece of news even more explosive than the battle for the inheritance of Shimao Real Estate reached Lu Yaowen's ears.

Zhuo Jingquan told Lu Yaowen that the Commissioner of Police, Hon Yi-li, would make a public speech at the door of the Commissioner of Police's residence at 4 pm, taking responsibility for the recent frequent terrorist attacks on Hong Kong Island and publicly announcing his resignation.

After hearing the news, Lu Yaowen decided to personally see Han Yili off, say goodbye to him in person, and ask the police chief if he wanted to take the newly bought plane back to his home in Scotland...
