Governor's Residence.
After hearing what Wei Yixin said, Wang Jianjun immediately turned around and left.
"Richard from MI6 is in your hands, right?"
Wei Yixin suppressed the raging anger in his heart, looked at Wang Jianjun's back, and asked the question coldly.
"Mr. Lu said that you are not qualified to negotiate with him now. Do you want to propose conditions? Wait until you finish what Mr. Lu asked you to do!"
Wang Jianjun said this without even turning his head, and immediately disappeared from Wei Yixin's sight.
"..."
At this moment, Wei Yixin clenched his fists tightly, breathing heavily through his nostrils, and his face looked extremely ugly. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.
After taking dozens of deep breaths, Wei Yixin finally suppressed the violent anger. He picked up the phone and pressed a shortcut key.
"Secretary Zhuang, immediately notify John Swire and Michael Kadoorie to come to the Governor's Residence and tell them that I have something very important to discuss with them right away."
Wei Yixin said this in a cold tone.
"Mr. Governor, Mr. John Swire has just left the Governor's Residence not long ago, and now we have called him back..."
Before Zhuang Qichen could finish his words, Wei Yixin interrupted him: "Why? Are you afraid that he will have a problem with you?"
"No, Mr. Governor, I will inform them immediately."
Zhuang Qichen has followed Wei Yixin for more than ten years. When Wei Yixin was teaching at a university in Eagle Country, he was Wei Yixin's assistant.
In Zhuang Qichen's impression, Wei Yixin is a scholar, gentle and elegant, always speaking calmly and steadily, and even when he is angry, he still retains a trace of restraint.
In the past ten years, he had never heard Wei Yixin's tone like this. There was despair mixed with his anger. To put it simply, his defense was broken.
"Tell them to hurry up!"
After Wei Yixin said this, he hung up the phone.
Then, after hesitating for a moment, Wei Yixin took out a satellite phone from the drawer and dialed a number.
"John, this is Wilson."
After the call was connected, Wei Yixin spoke.
"Wilson, what's the matter with calling me at this time?"
A man's voice came from the receiver.
Wei Yixin was able to become the governor of Hong Kong Island, so he must have supporters in his ancestral family.
His backer is John Davis, Secretary of State for the Commonwealth and Overseas Territories within the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
More than 20 years ago, John Davis's official position had another name, Secretary of State for the Colonies, in charge of the Colonial Office and responsible for dealing with the affairs of the Eagle Kingdom's overseas territories.
He was also Wilson's direct superior and was deeply trusted by the Iron Lady, the Prime Minister of the Eagle Country. Wilson was able to take the position of Governor of Hong Kong thanks to the strong support of John Davis.
"John, I am prepared to tender my resignation from the House of Commons."
Wei Yixin said this slowly.
"Wilson, you are kidding me, right? You are the Governor of Hong Kong Island. There has never been a precedent of a Governor resigning in our Eagle Country."
John Davis' tone was full of surprise.
"Now there is."
Wei Yixin's tone was extremely firm.
"Can I know the reason?"
John Davis obviously had a really good relationship with Wei Yixin. He did not directly and forcefully demand that Wei Yixin not resign, but asked for the reason first.
"It's embarrassing to say this, but the fact is that I can't hold on any longer in Hong Kong Island..."
Wei Yixin roughly recounted what happened today, and then he mentioned that he was going to resign publicly in the House of Commons.
"..."
After listening to Wei Yixin's words, John Davis was silent for a moment, and then he said: "Wilson, although you are not a professional politician, there are not many people in the entire Eagle Country who are more patriotic than you."
"However, since you have already decided to resign during the questioning of the House of Commons, is it necessary to call me now?"
He was very curious. It seemed a little early for Wei Yixin to call him.
"John, I would like you to help me campaign in the House of Commons. I would like to move my question session forward a few days..."
A trace of bitterness appeared on Wei Yixin's old face.
Originally, he should have been in London preparing to be questioned tomorrow, but he dragged it out for a few days, so now he has to ask someone to help move the questioning date forward...
Thinking of this, Wei Yixin's old face turned red. If he wasn't forced to do so, he wouldn't want to do this.
But there was no way, he really couldn't stay in Hong Kong Island anymore. He just wanted to resign from the post of Governor of Hong Kong as soon as possible. Even if there was a flood in Hong Kong Island in the future, it would have nothing to do with him, Wei Yixin.
"..."
John Davis was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "Wilson, I know your abilities very well. Is the situation in Hong Kong Island really so serious that you can't even hold on for a few days?"
"Hey~"
Wei Yixin sighed heavily, and then said helplessly: "John, the major foreign companies in Hong Kong are very arrogant. They have used their vast wealth to build a network of relationships in the Zu family. If they firmly refuse to agree to Lu Yaowen's conditions, I can't do anything to them."
"Given Lu Yaowen's character, if his conditions are not met, he will definitely make another move. At that time, Hong Kong Island will definitely experience a 'big earthquake', and my old bones will definitely not be able to withstand it. I can only find a way to leave Hong Kong Island as soon as possible."
Wei Yixin spoke very slowly, and his tone was full of helplessness.
"Wilson, Lu Yaowen, this Chinese, has his power in Hong Kong Island really expanded to this extent?"
John Davis still couldn't quite believe that a Chinese in Hong Kong Island could force a governor to the point where he couldn't hold out even for a few days.
"John, I'm telling you seriously, the Zu family must select a high-ranking official who is very powerful and has a say in the political arena to serve as the Governor of Hong Kong Island. This may be able to save the situation in Hong Kong Island."
"If a colonial official like me who has no roots in my ancestral homeland were to be the governor, it would be better to leave the position vacant and hand over all power to the local forces in Hong Kong Island, encouraging them to fight against the 'mainland faction'."
Wei Yixin's tone was full of seriousness and solemnity.
"..."
After hearing what Wei Yixin said, John Davis was silent for a long time again, and then he slowly said: "Wilson, I completely understand what you mean. I will report this matter to the Foreign Minister and the Prime Minister as quickly as possible. Wait for my news."
"Thank you, John."
After saying this, Wei Yixin hung up the phone, then leaned heavily on the back of his office chair and slowly closed his eyes. At this moment, he felt extremely tired.
After half an hour.
‘Ring ring ring~’
A phone rang.
"Wilson, it's me."
After Wei Yixin answered the phone, John Davis' voice came from the receiver.
"John, I hope you can tell me some good news."
Wei Yixin spoke immediately.
"The Foreign Secretary and the Prime Minister attach great importance to the situation in Hong Kong Island. They have verbally accepted your resignation and are working hard to find a new Governor. Please make sure to maintain the stability of Hong Kong Island during the last moments of your term."
John Davis said this slowly.
"Thank you, John."
A bitter smile appeared on Wei Yixin's lips.
……
On the other side, after leaving the Governor's Residence and getting into the car, Wang Jianjun immediately dialed Lu Yaowen's number.
"Brother Wen, according to your instructions, everything that should be given and said has been done..."
Wang Jianjun roughly repeated to Lu Yaowen the conversation he had just had with Wei Yixin.
"Okay, Jianjun, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Yaowen still gave his subordinates the emotional value first, and then continued: "Next, I need you to work hard to do one more thing..."
Lu Yaowen said slowly.
"understand!"
After listening to Lu Yaowen's instructions, Wang Jianjun agreed immediately without any hesitation.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yaowen hung up after hearing what Wang Jianjun said.
Ten minutes later, the Rolls-Royce he was riding in stopped in front of the Kowloon Hospital.
Lu Yaowen's two bulletproof Mercedes-Benz sedans were blown up along with the Liansheng headquarters building. He had asked Han Bin and Dinosaur to go to West Germany to place an expedited order and directly ordered ten bulletproof sedans.
But before receiving these ten bulletproof cars, he can only use Rolls-Royce as his own car.
The reason why Lu Yaowen came to Kowloon Hospital was very simple. He wanted to visit Ade and others.
In the morning, after entering the Heliansheng headquarters building, Ade and others ran to the escape passage as fast as they could, but the MI6 only gave them less than half a minute to escape.
At the moment the bomb was detonated, three people died on the spot, and the remaining twelve people were injured and were immediately arranged by Lu Yaowen to be admitted to Kowloon Hospital.
After finishing his work, Lu Yaowen immediately came here to visit the brothers who risked their lives to help him.
"Dragon head!"
"Dragon head!"...
As Lu Yaowen walked into the ward, some people with minor injuries immediately got out of bed and stood up to greet Lu Yaowen. Those who could not stand up also sat up. Only the two people with the most serious injuries could not even sit up, so they lay down and greeted Lu Yaowen.
"My fellow brothers, if you can help me, Lu Yaowen, with your lives, I will never treat you unfairly."
"For the three brothers who died, each of them will receive a resettlement allowance of HK$3 million. For the two brothers who were seriously injured, they will receive a reward of HK$1 million. If you become disabled, the society will support you for life..."
When Lu Yaowen gives benefits, he never uses tricks, he just directly gives money.
Whenever he walked into a ward, within a few minutes, cheers of "Long live the dragon head" would be heard from the ward.
There is no way, Lu Yaowen gave too much.
By the time Lu Yaowen left Kowloon Hospital, it was already evening.
‘Ring ring ring~’
After Lu Yaowen got into the car, he immediately took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Mr. Lei, it's me."
After the call was connected, Lu Yaowen spoke immediately.
"Awen, I finally got your call."
A thunderous sound came from the receiver.
"Mr. Lei, are you free tonight? I would like to invite you to dinner."
There is something that Lu Yaowen needs Lei Ming and needs help from the mainland.
"You don't have to treat me. The Huaiyang cuisine chef has already returned to Hong Kong Island. I will treat you to Huaiyang cuisine in Sham Shui Po. You can go to the old place and Sibo will show you the way."
Lei Ming laughed.
"Okay, Mr. Lei, see you later."
After Lu Yaowen said this, he hung up the phone.
"Beep, beep, beep~"
Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, Lei Ming hung up the phone and slowly placed the phone on the desk.
"Sibo, first go and inform Master Liao to prepare for the dinner, and then go pick up Lu Yaowen."
Lei Ming looked at Tang Sibo who was standing not far away and spoke slowly.
"Okay, Mr. Ray."
Tang Sibo immediately nodded in response.
More than twenty minutes later.
"Awen, please sit down."
Lei Ming looked at Lu Yaowen who followed Tang Sibo into the room, his face full of smiles.
Lu Yaowen was not polite either. He sat down opposite Lei Ming, then lowered his voice and said slowly: "Mr. Lei, this incident was done by MI6."
"I was only certain that MI6 was going to take action against me, but I couldn't be sure when they would take action. The incident happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to inform you."
At the beginning, Lu Yaowen had no intention of hiding this matter from Mainland. After meeting Lei Ming, he immediately made the matter clear.
Lei Ming's face changed slightly when he heard the words "MI6", and he immediately said, "Awen, please don't misunderstand me. We don't blame you for not notifying us in time. We just want to help you as soon as possible."
"I said before that Hong Kong Island can be without anyone, but it must have you, Lu Yaowen. Ah Wen, you are more important to us than you think."
Lei Ming looked sincere.
"Mr. Lei, I understand what you mean. It just so happens that I also need someone from MI6 to take action against me. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I did not notify anyone."
Lu Yaowen said slowly.
Lei Ming nodded slightly, and then continued: "Awen, if you need any help from us, just let us know. Don't be polite to us."
"Hahaha, Mr. Lei really understands me. I never come to you for no reason. There is something I really need your help with."
Lu Yaowen laughed.
Lei Ming did not say anything. He just looked at Lu Yaowen quietly, waiting for his next words.
"Mr. Lei, I have solid evidence that MI6 blew up the Liansheng headquarters building. If the British Hong Kong government wants to keep this evidence hidden forever, they must agree to my terms."
"I put forward four conditions to the Eagles: Cathay Pacific Airlines, Peninsula Hotel, Water Group, and Chunghwa Electric."
Lu Yaowen did not rush to state his "needs", but instead repeated to Lei Ming the conditions he had proposed to the Eagle people.
"..."
After listening to Lu Yaowen's conditions, Lei Ming's pupils shrank and he said slowly: "Ah Wen, the four industries you mentioned are the favorites of the Shi Huaiya family and the Kadoorie family. They are not the British Hong Kong government and may not agree to it."
"I asked the Governor to help me with something. They are all foreigners, so we must have something in common. Besides, I am a kind person. I am afraid that Wei Yixin can't handle the two families of Shi Huaiya and Kadoorie, so I specially hired a few helpers for him."
Lu Yaowen shook his head and smiled.
"Awen, you need me as a helper, what can I do for Wei Yixin?"
Lei Ming instantly understood what Lu Yaowen meant.
"The Water Affairs Group and China Electric Light have been doing a cost-free business with the water from Dongjiang River and the electricity from the Southern Power Supply Group. I hope you can announce the prices of water and electricity supplied from the mainland to Hong Kong Island."
"At the same time, we publicly call on these two companies to raise their prices by no more than 30% based on the mainland supply price in order to improve the living standards of all Hong Kong Island residents and reduce their living pressure."
Lu Yaowen spoke slowly, word by word.
After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, Lei Ming's face froze and he instantly understood what Lu Yaowen meant.
This is to ask them from the mainland to help drive them away.
The price is only allowed to increase by 30%. For the Americans who are used to making huge profits in Hong Kong Island, that is equivalent to losing money and they will definitely not agree to it.
If it weren't for Lu Yaowen, these Eagle Americans could cut off water and electricity, forcing the people of Hong Kong Island to stand up and oppose the price cuts of water and electricity, forcing the mainland to make concessions.
But now that Lu Yaowen is here, it's completely different. Water and electricity outage? Then let these people have a taste of He Liansheng's iron fist and let them know what the underworld is.
After listening to Lu Yaowen's words, Lei Ming pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "Awen, I will report your request to my superiors immediately."
"Mr. Lei, please add a few more points when you report to your superiors."
"After taking over the Water Affairs Group and China Electric, I will build a waterworks and power plant in the New Territories North. In the future, 70% of Hong Kong Island's water and electricity will be exported from the New Territories North to the entire Hong Kong Island."
Lu Yaowen said slowly.
Lu Yaowen knew very well that although he was now recognized as a patriot by the top leaders, the mainland would not agree to any request he made.
He must let the mainland know what benefits his actions can bring to the mainland, so that the mainland will be willing to cooperate with him.
"Awen, I understand what you mean."
After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, Lei Ming's eyes moved slightly. Lu Yaowen's meaning was very clear. The mainland's help to him this time would not only allow the water and electricity resources of Hong Kong Island to be controlled by Lu Yaowen, a patriot, but also speed up the development of the northern New Territories.
Due to confidentiality regulations, Lei Ming did not explain this to Lu Yaowen, but Lei Ming himself knew very well that the top management attached great importance to the development of the New Territories.
If the New Territories can be developed into a hub connecting the SAR with Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, and the SAR and Hong Kong Island can be completely connected, it will not only strengthen the control over Hong Kong Island, but also allow Hong Kong Island to drive the development of the SAR and even the entire Pearl River Delta.
This is a plan that could benefit people for decades or even hundreds of years, and it deserves every level of attention.
After hearing what Lu Yaowen just said, Lei Ming dared to conclude that the top management would definitely help Lu Yaowen take over the Water Group and China Electric.
"Awen, how are the preparations for the hospital you mentioned earlier going?"
After talking about this matter, Lei Ming changed the subject.
"Shimao Real Estate has already bought Mingxin Hospital and is currently renovating the interior and purchasing equipment. It will be able to reopen in a month at most."
Lu Yaowen replied with a smile.
"The top leaders are very supportive of your previous request for mainland medical experts to support us. Experts have already been selected from hospitals such as Union Hospital and Tongji Hospital. As long as Hong Kong Island is ready, these experts can come to support us immediately."
Lei Ming said with a smile.
“The patients in Hong Kong Island are blessed.”
The smile on Lu Yaowen's face became even wider.
"The top leaders are very supportive of your previous suggestion of establishing a medical college in the New Territories. If you need it, the mainland can transfer teachers from the medical college to Hong Kong Island to help."
Lei Ming added.
"That would be perfect."
Lu Yaowen nodded and smiled.
……
On the other side, the Governor's Residence.
Compared to the happy atmosphere between Lu Yaowen and Lei Ming, the atmosphere in the Governor's office was completely different and extremely depressing.
"..."
After seeing the "big gift" that Lu Yaowen gave to Wei Yixin, John Swire and Michael Kadoorie sat on the sofa with gloomy faces, both of them silent.
Especially Mike Kadoorie, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of rage. He really suffered an unprovoked disaster this time. He had no idea that the "Northern Ireland Independence Forces" were staying at the Peninsula Hotel, and he was simply dragged into it.
But at this point, who would believe that he was completely unaware?
The Kadoorie family is a typical Jewish family. In their minds, making money is more important than anything else. In addition, they are of Iraqi descent, not native American.
Therefore, among the four major foreign families in Hong Kong Island, the Kadoorie family is the least involved in politics. Many actions of the British Hong Kong government against the Chinese have the shadow of the three major families of Sassoon, Swire and Keswick, but the Kadoorie family is the only one that does not participate much.
However, the Kadoorie family is just a more human one among a group of inhuman people, that's all.
They also gained a lot in Hong Kong Island by relying on their privileges as foreigners. After all, in Hong Kong Island, if you are a foreigner and don't enjoy privileges, no one will praise you for your noble character, but will only say that you are mentally ill.
The roots of the foreigners in Hong Kong Island are rotten, and they cannot grow normal fruits at all. What Lu Yaowen has to do is to completely dig out the rotten roots and make the deformed fruits such as Jardine Matheson and Swire Properties in Hong Kong Island disappear forever.
"You two should know better than me that these things cannot be seen in public."
After John Swire and Michael Kadoorie finished reading Lu Yaowen's "gift", Wei Yixin slowly spoke.
"Mr. Governor, just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Mike Kadoorie looked at Wei Yixin and said this slowly.
"Lu Yaowen proposed four conditions: Cathay Pacific Airlines, Peninsula Hotel, Water Group, and Chunghwa Electric."
Wei Yixin directly stated Lu Yaowen's conditions.
"Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, don't forget that you are the Governor appointed by the Eagles, not the Governor appointed by the Chinese."
After Wei Yixin finished speaking, John Shi Huaiya spoke unhappily. In his opinion, when Lu Yaowen made this request, Wei Yixin should have decisively refused instead of talking to their Shi Huaiya family and the Kadoorie family.
"If I were a Chinese-appointed governor, do you think you could sit in front of me and complain to me?"
Wei Yixin glanced at John Shi Huaiya and his tone became a little colder.
Although he had anticipated that the Swire and Kadoorie families would be unwilling, Wei Yixin still became furious when he heard John Swire's mocking words.
"Mr. Governor, are these conditions no longer negotiable?"
Mike Kadoorie asked immediately after Wei Yixin finished speaking.
Wei Yixin slowly shook his head: "Lu Yaowen didn't give me a chance to talk at all."
"Humph, this fellow Lu Yaowen is simply wishful thinking. He wants Cathay Pacific Airlines and Water Group in just one sentence. He might as well just send He Liansheng's people to rob them."
In John Swire's view, allowing Lu Yaowen's Dragon Airlines to compete fairly with Cathay Pacific Airlines was the biggest concession he could make.
As a result, Lu Yaowen not only did not intend to compete fairly, but he directly asked for Cathay Pacific Airlines and even the Water Group.
Why?
John Shi Huaiya just couldn't understand what basis Lu Yaowen had to make these two requests. Their Shi Huaiya family was the victim of this "terrorist attack". Why did Lu Yaowen think that the victims would also be threatened by him?
"Mr. Governor, these conditions are difficult for our Kadoorie family to agree to."
Compared with John Swire, Michael Kadoorie's attitude is much calmer, but equally firm.
"Gentlemen, the British Hong Kong government must not allow these things in Lu Yaowen's hands to see the light of day, otherwise the entire British Hong Kong government may be overthrown. This result is not only unacceptable to the Zu family, I believe your two families cannot accept it either."
Wei Yixin had long anticipated the attitudes of the two families, the Shi Huaiya and the Kadoorie families, and he slowly spoke out the remarks he had prepared.
"..."
After hearing what Wei Yixin said, the faces of John Swire and Michael Kadoorie suddenly darkened. They knew very well what Wei Yixin meant.
If the British Hong Kong government falls, the privileges of these foreigners will completely disappear. Without the protection of the Eagle Country, they will only be a piece of fat meat on the chopping board and will be devoured by the people of Hong Kong Island in the days to come.
Moreover, given the character of the Eagle Government, if they cannot get enough benefits and are forced to withdraw from Hong Kong Island, they may start to squeeze benefits from the foreign families in Hong Kong Island.
After all, these families rooted in the colonies and the local forces in the Eagle Country are not the same kind of people. In the past, they cooperated to squeeze money from the Chinese, so naturally we were all one family.
If no more money can be squeezed out of the Chinese, then these colonial families that have become rootless will become the next piece of fat meat for the native families of the Eagle Country.
Wei Yixin's words were a veiled threat. If you make the Eagle Country withdraw from Hong Kong Island ahead of schedule, then the Eagle Country will make your two major families withdraw from this world ahead of schedule.
"Mr. Governor, is this what you meant or what the British Hong Kong government meant?"
John Shi Huaiya stared at Wei Yixin and asked the question slowly.
"I am the Queen's representative, and my opinion is what the British Hong Kong government means."
Wei Yixin's face was calm and his tone was extremely calm.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to report it to the family."
Faced with Wei Yixin's dominance, John Shi Huaiya's momentum immediately weakened and he gave his own answer.
"Although I am the head of the Kadoorie family, I still need to hold a family meeting to discuss such a big matter. I will give you an answer tomorrow, Governor."
After John Swire finished speaking, Mike Kadoorie also spoke immediately.
"You must give me a final answer at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Wei Yixin pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.
John Swire and Michael Kadoorie were both silent. After nodding slowly, they stood up and left without even saying goodbye to Wei Yixin.
After the two men left, Wei Yixin immediately took out his satellite phone and dialed John Davis' number.
"John, I just met with representatives from the Shi Huaiya and Kadoorie families..."
Wei Yixin roughly repeated what he had talked about with John Swire and Michael Kadoorie.
"Wilson, I will put pressure on the Shi Huaiya and Kadoorie families from my ancestral home. We have been too indulgent to these families before, making them forget who gave them their wealth."
John Davis's cold voice came from the receiver.
A few minutes later, Wei Yixin hung up the phone. After pondering for a moment, he picked up the receiver in front of him and dialed a number.
"Captain Field, this is Wei Yixin."
After the call was connected, Wei Yixin spoke.
"Mr. Governor, what can I do for you?"
Field's voice came from the receiver.
"The Zu family has issued a new order to me. To maintain the stability of Hong Kong Island, MI6 and the Special Branch must immediately enter a state of silence from now on. Without my permission, you must not act on your own."
“Even if Lawrence Lu comes to provoke you, you must get my consent before you can react. Do you understand what I mean?”
Now Wei Yixin just wants to stand guard for the last time and absolutely cannot let MI6 mess around again.
"Understood, Mr. Governor."
On the other end of the phone, after listening to Wei Yixin's words, Field's eyes moved slightly and he replied.
"Remember what I said."
After Wei Yixin said this, he hung up the phone.
"Beep, beep, beep~"
Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, Field shook his head helplessly. He could hear full of distrust in Wei Yixin's tone.
But this cannot be blamed on Wei Yixin. What this guy Richard did had such a bad impact that it directly destroyed the reputation of their MI6.
After pondering for a moment, Field took out a satellite phone from the drawer of his desk and dialed a number.
"Mr. Moore, this is Field. The Governor just called me..."
Field quickly stated Wei Yixin's order.
"Do as Wei Yixin said and let our people remain silent for a while."
Moore's voice came from the receiver.
"Yes, Mr. Moore."
Field responded immediately.
"Field, my operation here will be finished soon. We can discuss everything after I return to Hong Kong Island."
Moore continued.
"understand!"
After hearing what Moore said, a hint of joy flashed in Field's eyes. In his opinion, as long as Moore returned to Hong Kong Island, everything would be fine.
"Beep, beep, beep~"
Soon, a busy tone came into Field's ears.
This time, Field didn't hesitate for a moment. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Johnny, it's me."
"Mr. Field, what can I do for you?"
At this moment, Johnny was attending a private party at his father-in-law's house. After hearing Field's voice, he immediately walked quickly to an empty room and asked.
"Stop all actions against Lu Yaowen."
Field finally decided to follow Wei Yixin's orders and remain silent for a while.
"Ah? Mr. Field, can you tell me what happened? This opportunity is so rare. If we..."
Johnny asked immediately.
But before he could finish his words, Field interrupted him: "Johnny, pay attention to your identity, you only need to follow orders!"
"Yes, sir."
Johnny responded helplessly.
After hearing Johnny's response, Field hung up the phone.
Johnny didn't hesitate for a moment and dialed a number.
"Inform the boss that I have a very important meeting with him. I will wait for him at the usual place."
After saying this, Johnny hung up the phone, walked out of the room, whispered a few words to Henry, and then left the villa.
Half an hour later, in a detached house in Wan Chai.
"Brother Wen."
Johnny, who had been waiting here for more than ten minutes, immediately stood up and greeted Lu Yaowen after seeing Lu Yaowen come in.
"Tianning, what's so important that you need to meet with me?"
Lu Yaowen asked with a smile.
"Brother Wen, I just received a call from Field. He told me that MI6 and the Special Branch immediately entered a silent state and cancelled all activities. So, our plan against the 'Fugui Maru'..."
There was a hint of worry in Johnny's eyes.
After exchanging his true heart with Lu Yaowen, Johnny really devoted himself to helping Lu Yaowen. He took the tasks assigned by Lu Yaowen more seriously than Lu Yaowen himself.
"Tianning, the attitude of the Eagles has no impact on our plan. If they agree, you can implement the plan openly. If they disagree, that's fine too. You are the superintendent of the Political Department. With this identity, the Eagles can't clear themselves from the blame even if they jump into the Yellow River."
At this point, Lu Yaowen smiled: "The club founded by your father-in-law Henry spent more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in a few months, half of which was spent on the chief inspectors and senior inspectors of the Political Department."
"They have benefited from us and received so much kindness from us, it's time to repay them. You can choose a few targets from among them, and then..."
Lu Yaowen slowly spoke out a new plan.
"Okay, Brother Wen!"
Johnny nodded immediately.
"Tianning, after this matter is done, you may have to suffer a little, but don't worry, after this, Johnny will be completely dead, and he will be replaced by a Hong Kong Islander named Xie Tianning."
Lu Yaowen looked at Johnny and spoke slowly, word by word.
"Brother Wen, thank you for giving me this opportunity to be a human being."
Johnny stood up suddenly and bowed deeply to Lu Yaowen.
"Tian Ning, I want to thank you. What you did not only allowed you to stand up, but also helped millions of Hong Kong Islanders to stand up. It's a pity that your name can only be hidden in the dark and will never be known to the world."
Lu Yaowen also stood up and looked at Johnny with a sincere expression.
"Brother Wen, being able to be a human being, marrying a wife and having children, and living a life of wealth and peace is enough for me."
Johnny's eyes were filled with longing for a better life in the future.
By the time Lu Yaowen and Johnny separated, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
"To Mount Kadoorie."
After getting into the Rolls-Royce, Lu Yaowen gave an order.
Tomorrow he will go to Haojiang to prepare for the maiden voyage of the "Fugui Maru". Before leaving, there are some things that need to be arranged first.
‘Ring ring ring~’
After the car drove out of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, a cell phone rang.
"Which one?"
After Lu Yaowen pressed the answer button, he asked.
"Awen, I'm Gao Shiwen."
Gao Shiwen's voice came from the receiver.
"Brother Shiwen, you called me so late at night. Are you asking me to cover for you and let you meet He Wanzhi in private?"
Lu Yaowen asked with a smile.
The Gao family was the first family among the "local faction" to join Lu Yaowen, and Lu Yaowen also gave the Gao family the best treatment. Lu Yaowen chose to cooperate with the Gao family in the management of the Lee Garden Hotel and the Mido Hotel that were "compensated" to Lu Yaowen by the Li family.
In addition, Lu Yaowen stepped forward to help the Gao family solve problems such as hotel venues and licenses in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and the Special Administrative Region. Now the InterContinental Hotel founded by the Gao family and Lu Yaowen already has eight branches in the mainland.
In just half a year, the Gao family's wealth has increased by half, and the relationship between Gao Shiwen and Lu Yaowen has become closer. Lu Yaowen is very optimistic about the second son of the Gao family, who is capable and has a bit of a rough and tumble flavor.
Lu Yaowen plans to open a mainland hotel in Hong Kong Island, and Gao Shiwen is the best candidate for the hotel's general manager.
"Thanks to you, my dad has turned a blind eye to the relationship between me and Wanzhi. I don't have to hide anymore."
Gao Shiwen's tone was full of sincere gratitude.
"Hahaha, then you have to take it easy. You're not young anymore. Be careful not to hurt your kidneys."
Lu Yaowen laughed.
"Awen, you really can't spit out any ivory from your mouth. What do you mean don't hurt your kidneys? I'm very strong!"
Gao Shiwen's tone changed instantly.
"Yes, yes, it is indeed strong. I don't know who asked me last time if I had connections to buy it from the mainland..."
Before Lu Yaowen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Shiwen: "Brother Wen, please, stop talking!"
The thing Gao Shiwen regretted most in his life was asking Lu Yaowen to help him buy authentic tiger penis wine from the mainland. The medicinal effect was indeed good, but the price was that Lu Yaowen would often mention it.
Then, without waiting for Lu Yaowen to speak, Gao Shiwen continued, "Ah Wen, I have something serious to talk to you about. Do you know Michael Kadoorie?"
"how?"
Lu Yaowen's eyes moved slightly, and he probably guessed what Gao Shiwen wanted to say.
"This foreign guy Kadoorie is the chairman of the Hong Kong Island Hotel Association, and I am the vice chairman. We are quite friendly. I just received a call from him, saying that he wants to meet with you and asked me to be the middleman."
"But I'll tell you in advance that my relationship with that foreigner is just an acquaintance, so you don't have to give me face."
Gao Shiwen's words were very frank.
"Brother Shiwen, I will definitely give you the face you said. Let that Mike Kadoorie go to the InterContinental Hotel and wait for me."
Lu Yaowen said with a smile.
"no problem."
Gao Shiwen responded immediately.
A few minutes later, in a luxurious suite on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel.
"Okay, Mr. Gao, thank you very much. I will remember this favor."
After saying this, Mike Kadoorie hung up the phone, and then said to his brother Aaron Kadoorie who was sitting next to him: "Aaron, I'm going to the InterContinental Hotel to meet Lawrence Lu now."
"Brother, do we really want to negotiate peace with Lu Yaowen, a Chinese, alone? The Eagle people will not agree."
Aaron Kadoorie's eyes were full of worry.
"Alon, I just received a notice from the mainland. They require that the electricity price charged by China Electric in Hong Kong Island can only be 30% higher than the electricity price in the mainland."
Mike Kadoorie said slowly.
"?"
Aaron Kadoorie's pupils shrank after hearing these words.
"Alon, we, the Kadoorie family, didn't know that members of the 'Northern Ireland Independence Army' were staying at the Peninsula Hotel, but who would believe it? If Lu Yaowen, a member of the Security Committee, is accused of colluding with terrorists, we won't be able to bear it."
Mike Kadoorie sighed deeply, his tone full of helplessness.
"But, the British Hong Kong government..."
Aaron Kadoorie was interrupted by Mike Kadoorie before he finished speaking: "Aaron, our Kadoorie family is different from the Sassoon, Swire, and Keswick families. They are native to the Eagle Country, and we are just outsiders. If we really fall out with Lu Yaowen, the Hong Kong British government will only give priority to protecting those three families."
"Instead of waiting until the family is destroyed, it is better to stand with Lu Yaowen and the mainland now. I believe that even if Lu Yaowen does not need us, the mainland will need us as a representative to set an example for all the families belonging to the Eagle Country in Hong Kong Island."
"As the Chinese say, it's like spending a fortune on horse bones."
After careful consideration, Mike Kadoorie decided to jump ship.
"Brother, I understand what you mean. I will definitely support you with all my strength!"
After listening to his eldest brother's words, the worry in Aaron Kadoorie's eyes disappeared, and only determination remained.
"Our ancestors fled from Iraq to Mumbai 300 years ago, and from Mumbai to Hong Kong Island more than 100 years ago. Each choice brought rich rewards to the family. I hope that our choice this time can also bring good returns to the family."
Mike Kadoorie sighed and quickly left the hotel suite.
"Hey!"
Watching his elder brother leave, Aaron Kadoorie also sighed deeply, his eyes full of helplessness. He never dreamed that their Kadoorie family would one day "bow down" to a Chinese...
"Lu Yaowen, the number one Chinese in Hong Kong Island, really lives up to his reputation!"
Aaron Kadoorie looked out the window towards Tsim Sha Tsui, shook his head and sighed.
