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

Chapter 314 [314] A loud noise on the high seas shook the entire Hong Kong Island
In a small meeting room in the Governor's Residence.

Wei Yixin was very "excited" to receive the "gift" from Lu Yaowen, and immediately notified the Chief Secretary Cheng Ansheng, the Financial Secretary MacLeod and the Secretary for Justice Tang Minghao to rush to the Governor's House.

"Mr. Governor!"

"Mr. Governor!"...

Cheng Ansheng and others waited in the conference room for more than ten minutes before Wei Yixin walked into the conference room. The three of them immediately stood up and greeted Wei Yixin.

"All three of you, please take a seat."

Wei Yixin waved his hand, motioning Cheng Ansheng and the other two to sit down, and then slowly said: "The day after tomorrow I will return to London to answer questions from the House of Commons. At that time, I will submit my resignation to Parliament in person. Today may be the last time we meet."

"..."

After hearing Wei Yixin's words, Cheng Ansheng and the other two all showed shocked expressions on their faces.

These senior officials of the British Hong Kong government had all seen what had happened in recent days, but they had never expected that the Governor of Hong Kong would be forced to resign by Luk Yiu-wen?

There has never been a governor in Hong Kong who voluntarily resigned.

"Mr. Governor, the situation shouldn't be that bad, right?"

After a brief moment of astonishment, McGrady asked.

"I am not capable enough to cope with the current situation in Hong Kong Island. I will take the initiative to resign and replace him with a more capable governor. This will only benefit the British Hong Kong government, not harm it."

Wei Yixin is very frank.

Then, without waiting for Cheng Ansheng and the other two to speak again, Wei Yixin continued, "Although we have given up a lot of benefits, at least we have temporarily stabilized Lu Yaowen."

"Before the new governor takes office on Hong Kong Island, I hope the Hong Kong British government will not take any action to provoke Lu Yaowen, and everything will be decided after the new governor takes office."

Wei Yixin was also afraid that after he went to London, something strange would happen in Hong Kong and he would be blamed.

"Governor, if Parliament approves your resignation, according to regulations, Hong Kong Island should have an acting director to temporarily preside over the work of the Hong Kong British government."

When Cheng Ansheng said this, his heart beat very fast.

According to convention, when the outgoing Governor of Hong Kong leaves office and the new Governor has not yet taken office, the Chief Secretary will serve as Acting Governor of Hong Kong.

Doesn't this mean that she, the first Chinese Chief Secretary of Hong Kong Island, will soon become the first Acting Governor of Hong Kong Island and hold the supreme power in Hong Kong Island?
"Bang, bang, bang~"

Thinking of this, Cheng Ansheng's heart began to beat faster.

After hearing what Cheng Ansheng said, Wei Yixin first used his eyes to signal Mai Legao and Tang Minghao not to speak, and then slowly said: "Secretary Cheng, you will have to work hard when the time comes."

"Mr. Governor, you are too polite. Since I joined the British Hong Kong government at the age of 22, I have only one belief in my heart, which is to devote everything I have to the British Hong Kong government."

Cheng Ansheng used all his strength to suppress the corners of his mouth which were harder to suppress than AK.

"Chief Secretary Cheng, I will report your contribution to the British Hong Kong government truthfully to the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary. I believe they will reward you for your loyalty to your duties."

What Wei Yixin said made Cheng Ansheng even happier. He had only one feeling in his heart: serving the Eagle people as a dog for decades was not in vain.

Next, Wei Yixin said something that made Cheng Ansheng very happy: "Before I leave Hong Kong Island, I will sign a Governor's Order, and the Chief Secretary will preside over the work of the Hong Kong British Government."

"Thank you, Mr. Governor."

In the end, Cheng Ansheng couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

In the following time, Wei Yixin explained to Cheng Ansheng and the other two the work matters of the British Hong Kong government after he left Hong Kong Island, and then let the three of them leave.

However, not long after Cheng Ansheng and the other two left, Mai Lego and Tang Minghao returned to Wei Yixin again.

"Mr. Governor, it is too risky to let a Chinese serve as the Acting Director."

The words "Let me be the Acting Director" were clearly written on the face of the Financial Secretary, John McLeod.

"Director Mai, the current position of acting director is like being at the mouth of a volcano. It could explode at any time. It is safest for us Eagles to let Cheng Ansheng, a Chinese, take over."

Wei Yixin gave his own explanation.

"Mr. Governor, do you mean that Lu Yaowen will take action again?"

McLego immediately understood what Wei Yixin meant.

"Maybe, maybe not. Now the initiative is in Lu Yaowen's hands. We can only passively defend. You'd better not take this risk with your future."

Wei Yixin advised sincerely.

"Mr. Governor, I understand what you mean."

McLego nodded in response.

"Director Mai, Director Tang, I have just been thinking a lot in my office. The reason why Lu Yaowen was able to seize power from us Eagles so easily is that in addition to the full support of the mainland behind him, the instigation of the Hong Kong 'local faction' is also a very important factor."

Wei Yixin continued.

"Mr. Governor, what do you mean?"

There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of both McLego and Tang Minghao.

"These Hong Kong Islanders hope that we will give up power more quickly. In their view, the harder we are pushed by Lu Yaowen, the faster we will hand over the power in our hands and use it to win over these people."

"I let Cheng Ansheng be the acting governor of Hong Kong. In addition to letting her take the blame for us Eagles, I also want to completely release power to those 'localists' in Hong Kong Island."

"Since these Hong Kong Islanders want power, I will give them all at once and see what the fight between them and Lu Yaowen will produce."

Wei Yixin slowly told us the last plan he had set up in Hong Kong Island.

At this point, Wei Yixin looked at Tang Minghao and said, "Secretary Tang, tell your wife that tomorrow I will propose in the Legislative Council that the future chairmen of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council will no longer be concurrently held by the Governor, but will be elected by the legislators."

"..."

After hearing what Wei Yixun said, Tang Minghao was a little confused. His wife is Deng Lianru, the current chief non-official member of the Executive Council. Wei Yixun's meaning was very clear. He wanted to support Deng Lianru to be the chairman of the Executive Council.

Tang Minghao did think that Wei Yixin's "decentralization plan" made sense, but was it too fast?

Will he give up all three important positions of Acting Governor of Hong Kong, Chairman of the Legislative Council and Chairman of the Executive Council at once?

Thinking of this, Tang Minghao immediately said, "Mr. Governor, isn't this too fast?"

"Director Tang, we were too slow in delegating power in the past. In the current situation, we must cooperate with the 'local faction' to counter Lu Yaowen."

"Our power in Hong Kong Island will not last long, and the right thing to do is to use it to gain sufficient benefits."

At this moment, Wei Yixin seemed to have a sense of enlightenment.

"Mr. Governor, I support you!"

After a brief thought, McLego spoke first.

"Governor, I will convey your message to my wife."

Tang Minghao also spoke.

"You two, Hong Kong Island will be in your hands from now on."

Wei Yixin stood up and bowed deeply to Mai Legao and Tang Minghao.

"Mr. Governor, we will never forget your contribution, and neither will the British Hong Kong government."

Mai Legao and Tang Minghao also stood up immediately and bowed to Wei Yixin.

It was not until around five o'clock in the afternoon that McLeod and Tang Minghao left the Governor's Residence.

"Secretary Zhuang, after I return to Eagle Country, thank you for helping me sort out my personal belongings in Hong Kong Island. I don't want to come back to this place anymore."

Wei Yixin looked at the bust of the queen hanging on the wall and slowly said this.

……

That night, at the InterContinental Hotel Hong Kong.

"Mr. Lei, our Kadoorie family has been rooted in Hong Kong Island for three generations. We have long been Hong Kong Islanders. We hope to make large-scale investments in the mainland."

Mike Kadoorie was very humble when facing Lei Ming, which surprised Lei Ming a little and he subconsciously looked at Lu Yaowen.

He knew very well that Mike Kadoorie's current attitude was not because he, as a Hong Konger, cared about the mainland, but was forced by Lu Yaowen.

"Mr. Kadoorie, we in the mainland welcome all sincere people to invest."

Lei Ming's face was full of polite smiles.

"Okay, I will let my brother Aaron Kadoorie be responsible for the investment in the mainland. From now on, half of our Kadoorie family's income will be invested in the mainland, and the other half will be invested in the New Territories."

Mike Kadoorie directly threw two "letters of allegiance" in front of Lei Ming and Lu Yaowen.

"..."

Hearing what Mike Kadoorie said, Lu Yaowen looked at Mike Kadoorie deeply. This guy really should kowtow to him.

If you invest in mainland China now, even if you are a pig, you can earn several times the return. If you are a little smarter, it is possible to earn more than ten times or even dozens of times the return.

This guy can be considered a 'blessing in disguise'.

Feeling Lu Yaowen's eyes, Mike Kadoorie said cautiously: "Mr. Lu, what suggestions do you have for my investment plan?"

"No, it's a great investment plan, Mr. Kadoorie. We are partners now. There's no need to be so reserved."

Lu Yaowen replied with a smile.

"It's so hard to be casual when facing a ruthless person like you." Mike Kadoorie complained in his heart, but forced a smile on his face.

After making an appointment with Lei Ming to go to the mainland for inspection, Mike Kadoorie very tactfully said goodbye to Lu Yaowen and Lei Ming, leaving the space to these two people.

"Awen, I'm very curious, what leverage do you have over the Kadoorie family that makes them so afraid of you?"

After Mike Kadoorie left, Lei Ming asked with a smile.

"They were tricked by MI6..."

Lu Yaowen told Lei Ming about the general situation of the Kadoorie family.

"Hahaha, Awen, they are really unlucky."

Lei Ming laughed out loud.

"Mr. Lei, I would like to ask you for a favor."

After talking about the Kadoorie family's "unfortunate stories", Lu Yaowen brought the topic to the point.

"Awen, don't be so polite. If you need me to do something, just ask directly."

Lei Ming immediately gave his answer.

"I plan to fire all Cathay Pacific employees. I will then recruit people in mainland China. I hope the relevant departments can assist me."

From the top management to the flight attendants, every one of them in Cathay Pacific Airlines is a Western-worshipping dog. Lu Yaowen doesn't want such employees.

He wanted to conduct a thorough cleanup of Cathay Pacific and transform the airline into a model patriotic company.

"No problem, I will report your request to my superiors immediately."

Lei Ming agreed without hesitation.

"Mr. Lei, the Governor of Hong Kong is about to leave office. I hope you can..."

The next day, at noon, a piece of news that shocked the entire Hong Kong Island spread across the island at lightning speed.

The Legislative Council passed the proposal of Governor Wilson unanimously. From today onwards, the Governor will no longer serve as the Chairman of the Legislative Council or the Executive Council, and will instead be elected by members of the Legislative Council.

After the proposal was passed, the Legislative Council and the Executive Council immediately held their first chairman election, with the Chief Unofficial Member of the Executive Council, Deng Lianru, as the Chairman of the Executive Council, and the Chief Unofficial Member of the Legislative Council, Li Pengfei, as the Chairman of the Legislative Council.

In just one morning, the Executive Council and the Legislative Council, two important components of the British Hong Kong government, were replaced by Chinese leaders.

The media of the "foreign" faction immediately praised this move crazily and has already touted Wei Yixin as the light of democracy.

Deng Lianru and Li Pengfei also gave live speeches at noon that day, claiming that they would devote all their energy to serving all the citizens of Hong Kong Island in the future.

In Judy Tang’s office at the Shimao Real Estate headquarters building.

"I didn't expect Wei Yixin to be so decisive. It seems that I put too much pressure on him."

Looking at Deng Lianru who was talking on the TV screen, Lu Yaowen said with a smile.

He will go to Haojing tomorrow and prepare to personally participate in the plan to eradicate the Political Department. Today he came to Shimao Real Estate specifically to give Tang Judy an injection as a preventive shot.

"The positions of chairman of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council have been released. The 'local faction' in Hong Kong Island will definitely be overjoyed."

A smile also appeared on Tang Judy's face.

"Haha, those people are too short-sighted. They don't even realize that they are being used as a pawn by Wei Yixin."

After hearing Tang Judy mention the "local faction", the smile on Lu Yaowen's face turned cold.

"Maybe they themselves know that the foreigners are using them as a weapon, but who can resist the temptation of power?"

Tang Judy shook her head and laughed.

"Sister Judy, what you said is right, but I think these 'locals' think that I won't do anything to them, so they dare to be the ghosts' guns."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

"Awen, you're not going to attack the locals, are you?"

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, Judy Tang's eyes moved slightly: "They are different from the foreigners. If you attack them, it will affect your reputation in Hong Kong Island."

The local faction in Hong Kong Island has always advocated that Hong Kong Islanders should manage Hong Kong Island themselves. This approach is very popular in Hong Kong Island today. Judy Tong is really afraid that Lu Yaowen will take action against the "local faction" and be caught by the foreigners.

"Sister Judy, I wonder if you have ever heard a saying?"

"What?"

Tang Judy asked subconsciously.

"You fight yours, and I fight mine."

Lu Yaowen replied with a smile.

"?"

Tang Judy was a little confused.

"If the foreigners want to give power to the 'local faction', let them do it. I just need to focus on the foreigners and fight them thoroughly. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that."

"Without the support of the foreigners, the power in the hands of the 'local faction' is rootless and they cannot control it."

Lu Yaowen shook his head and smiled.

"Awen, after you defeat the foreigners and the 'locals', what will you do?"

Tang Judy looked at Lu Yaowen with curiosity in her eyes.

"Business, of course. What else would you do?"

Lu Yaowen laughed.

"Awen, you know that's not what I'm asking."

Tang Judy rejected Lu Yaowen's "perfunctory" attitude.

"Sister Judy, I am too famous in Hong Kong Island. I am destined not to be able to stand on the stage. However, my woman can stand on the stage, and my sons and daughters can stand on the stage."

The smile on Lu Yaowen's face faded, and he looked at Tang Judy and said seriously.

"Then I have to work hard."

A satisfied smile appeared on Tang Judy's face.

"Sister Judy, what do you mean?"

At this moment, Lu Yaowen seemed to realize something.

"Well, I'm pregnant. My child will inherit everything that Shimao Real Estate has in the New Territories. He will be as outstanding as his father and as famous throughout Hong Kong Island."

Tang Judy looked at Lu Yaowen, her eyes filled with love so strong that it could not be dissolved.

……

That afternoon, at the Jockey Club.

Several representatives of Hong Kong's 'local faction' and 'foreign faction' all gathered together.

"The Governor will leave Hong Kong Island tomorrow and return to the Eagle Kingdom to be questioned. He will also submit his resignation to Parliament. From the moment he leaves Hong Kong Island, all work of the British Hong Kong government will be presided over by me."

Cheng Ansheng's opening remarks shocked everyone present.

Cheng Ansheng's next words made everyone's faces show uncontrollable joy: "When I preside over the work of the British Hong Kong government, I hope that the Chinese in Hong Kong Island can play a more important role in the British Hong Kong government."

Cheng Ansheng delegated power to the Chinese in Hong Kong Island not only because of Wei Yixin's order, but also because she knew very well that it would be impossible for her to hold the position of Acting Governor of Hong Kong with her power, and she could only win over these "local factions" in Hong Kong Island.

"Chief Secretary Cheng, tell me about your plan."

After Cheng Ansheng finished speaking, He Shanheng, the representative of the "local faction", was the first to speak.

"Although the chief officers of the three departments and eleven bureaus of the British Hong Kong government are all Chinese, these Chinese basically do not take care of things. I plan to gradually replace the deputies of these departments with Chinese, and let them preside over the work of each department."

"Everyone here is an elite who is familiar with Hong Kong affairs. If you have a suitable candidate, please recommend him to me."

The first item of Cheng Ansheng's plan made He Shanheng and others almost unable to suppress their smiles.

They also didn't expect that Cheng Ansheng would come up and directly share the cake with them. After so many years of waiting, they finally waited for the moment when the Eagles would co-govern Hong Kong Island with them.

"In addition, the ICAC and the Hong Kong Island Police Force are also crucial. As for the police force, I will apply to the Zu family to strive for the current Deputy Commissioner of Police, Li Wenbin, to serve as the Commissioner of Police."

At this point, Cheng Ansheng paused slightly: "Of course, it will take some time to convince the Zu family to let a Chinese serve as the Commissioner of Police. If we can convince the current Acting Commissioner Shi Kang to give up his position..."

Cheng Ansheng did not finish his words, but just stared at He Shanheng, Li Guobao and others.

Shi Kang has been in Hong Kong Island for decades and has a very good relationship with these "locals". Even these "locals" contributed to his promotion to the position of Deputy Commissioner of Police.

Cheng Ansheng's meaning was very clear. He asked He Shanheng, Li Guobao and others to persuade Shi Kang to retire from the police force early.

"Chief Executive Secretary Cheng, we will do our best to fight for the matter you mentioned."

Under Cheng Ansheng's gaze, Li Guobao spoke slowly, but he did not give an accurate answer.

After all, people will change in the face of power, and Li Guobao is not sure he can convince Shi Kang.

Cheng Ansheng smiled and nodded, then continued, "As for ICAC, I will invite Mr. Luo Decheng to serve as the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. I also hope that you can nominate young talents from Hong Kong Island to join ICAC and contribute to the protection of the rule of law and integrity in Hong Kong Island."

"..."

After hearing what Cheng Ansheng said, the eyes of He Shanheng, Li Guobao, Liao Liewen, and even Deng Lianru, Li Pengfei and others suddenly lit up.

Lot Sing is not only one of the four major families in Hong Kong Island and the head of the Law family, but also the most prestigious barrister in Hong Kong Island and the current executive director of the Bar Association. He is an absolute big shot in the legal community of Hong Kong Island.

If Lok Tak-shing could be invited to serve as the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Luk Chi-lam would definitely be suppressed and ICAC could also be controlled by the "local faction".

"Chief Secretary Cheng, we and all sectors of Hong Kong Island will fully support you in running the British Hong Kong government."

After Cheng Ansheng finished talking about his "policy plan", He Shanheng and others immediately made a choice and started full cooperation with Cheng Ansheng.

"Thank you very much, everyone. I believe that with our joint efforts, Hong Kong Island will become a better place."

The smile on Cheng Ansheng's face became brighter and brighter.

At this moment, she was extremely clear that she was about to reach the pinnacle of power.

……

That evening, following the explosive news that Deng Lianru and Li Pengfei would serve as chairmen of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council, the British Hong Kong government once again broke explosive news.

Governor of Hong Kong, Wilson Wilson, is about to return to the United Kingdom to report on his work. During his stay in the United Kingdom, all work of the British Hong Kong government will be presided over by Chief Secretary Cheng Ansheng.

As one of the protagonists, Cheng Ansheng is currently at Villa No. 5 in Taiping Mountain, meeting Luo Decheng, the head of the Luo family.

"Chief Secretary Cheng, thank you for your trust in me, but I am old now and my energy is a bit lacking. The position of Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is too important. I am afraid that if I make mistakes, it will be a sin."

After listening to Cheng Ansheng's request for him to serve as the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Luo Decheng shook his head and refused.

"Mr. Luo, in the whole of Hong Kong Island, apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability and prestige to serve as the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption."

Cheng Ansheng advised.

"Chief Executive Officer Cheng, you should seek help from someone else."

Luo Decheng stared at Cheng Ansheng and said this with a smile.

"Mr. Luo, please feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as our Hong Kong British government can do it, I will definitely agree to it."

Cheng Ansheng completely understood Luo Decheng's intention. The Luo family's patriarch had a huge appetite, and a single Commissioner of Integrity could not satisfy his appetite. "Chief Secretary Cheng, since you are so frank, I will speak frankly."

"In fact, you and I both know that the current ICAC's Deputy Commissioner Lu Zhilian was actually promoted by Lu Yaowen. You want me to be the Commissioner of the ICAC just to suppress Lu Zhilian."

"If I want to suppress Lu Zhilian, I will definitely have to confront Lu Yaowen. In this case, just an ICAC commissioner will not be enough to make up for my losses."

“In addition to the ICAC commissioner, I also need the position of president of the Bar Association.”

Luo Decheng did not hide anything and directly stated his request.

"..."

Hearing Luo Decheng's request, Cheng Ansheng fell silent.

The Bar Association is not a place where she, as the Chief Secretary temporarily in charge of the British Hong Kong government, can have the final say.

Luo Decheng was not in a hurry either, he just looked at Cheng Ansheng quietly.

A few minutes later, Cheng Ansheng said, "Mr. Luo, I wonder if the position of Chief Legal Advisor to the Governor of Hong Kong would satisfy you?"

The Governor of Hong Kong is not only the name of a position, but also the name of an institution with many auxiliary staff under it.

For example, the Chief Secretary is the chief policy adviser to the Governor of Hong Kong. In addition, there are also chief political adviser, chief economic adviser, chief legal adviser and other official positions.

The nature of the Chief Advisor is somewhat similar to that of the Cabinet Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty. They can directly inquire about the matters within the areas they are responsible for to the British Hong Kong Government. At the same time, the plan reports of various departments of the British Hong Kong Government must first be reviewed by the Chief Advisor and then submitted to the Governor for approval.

Of course, the Governor of Hong Kong can also handle the matter directly without going through the Chief Advisor, but if it really comes to this, the Chief Advisor should be tactful and resign voluntarily.

Cheng Ansheng was confident that he could persuade Wei Yixin to hand over the position of chief legal advisor to Luo Decheng before he left.

"Chief Secretary, how long can you preside over the British Hong Kong government? The term of office of the chairman of the Bar Association is three years."

Luo Decheng replied with a smile.

"Mr. Luo, I understand what you mean. The Governor will leave Hong Kong Island tomorrow. I will give you an answer before he leaves Hong Kong Island."

Cheng Ansheng pondered for a moment and gave this answer.

"Then I will wait for good news from the Chief Secretary."

Luo Decheng smiled and nodded, suggesting that Cheng Ansheng could leave.

"Mr. Luo, it's getting late. I won't disturb you to rest. Goodbye."

Cheng An immediately understood what Luo Decheng meant and stood up to leave.

After Cheng Ansheng left, a young man about thirty years old walked out of a room. He was Luo Decheng's eldest son, Luo Keping.

"Father, Cheng Ansheng may not be able to get the Bar Association. Are you indirectly rejecting her by proposing this condition?"

Luo Keping sat down opposite his father and asked with a smile.

As the heir of the Luo family, Luo Keping's resume is even better than his father's. Luo Decheng is a master of law from Oxford University. After graduating from Oxford University, Luo Keping was admitted to Yale University and obtained a doctorate degree. Now he is the youngest barrister in Hong Kong Island.

"Cheng Ansheng, no, I should say that the Eagle people will definitely let me sit on the position of chairman of the Bar Association."

Luo Decheng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly said this sentence.

"Father, why do you say it as if the Eagles are asking you to be the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption?"

Luo Keping's eyes flashed and he asked the question with a smile.

"You little brat, are you pretending to be stupid in front of your dad?"

Luo Decheng smiled and shook his head.

"Hahaha, Dad, you saw through me at first sight. It seems that my acting skills need to be improved."

Rock Ping laughed out loud.

"Tell me what you think."

A hint of relief flashed in Luo Decheng's eyes.

"Everyone in Hong Kong knows that the He and Luo families are one family. The He family is the Luo family, and the Luo family is the He family. Cheng Ansheng has won you over, which is equivalent to winning over both the Luo family and the He family. For this, he only takes out the position of chairman of the Bar Association. It is definitely a good deal."

Luo Keping slowly expressed his thoughts.

"anything else?"

Luo Decheng continued to ask.

"besides?"

Luo Keping frowned slightly, and after thinking for a few minutes, he said, "Father, the Eagles have lost the initiative in Hong Kong Island. They can only passively defend against Lu Yaowen. At this time, they need to equip themselves with new weapons. Ho Shanheng, Li Guobao and others are not sharp enough."

"Keping, when you were in Eagle Country, did you often contact your aunt Baozhen?"

After listening to Luo Keping's analysis, Luo Decheng suddenly asked a question that seemed unrelated to the previous topic.

"I……"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Luo Keping's eyes.

Luo Baozhen is a "taboo" topic in the Luo family. As the youngest girl of the third generation of the Luo family, she has been the apple of the family's eye since childhood and the first woman in the Luo family to go to college.

However, while studying at the University of Hong Kong Island, Luo Baozhen fell in love with a commoner boy named Lu. She disobeyed her father, Luo Wenjin, and secretly became pregnant with the boy.

In a rage, Luo Wenjin sent Luo Baozhen to Eagle Country and ordered her never to return to Hong Kong Island.

It was not known whether it was the Li family who took action, but the boy from the Lu family disappeared in Hong Kong Island. This also led to a complete break between Luo Baozhen and her father Luo Wenjin. Until Luo Wenjin lifted the ban on Luo Baozhen before his death, Luo Baozhen never returned to Hong Kong Island to see her father for the last time.

"Baozhen has suffered so much in her life only because she is a member of the Luo family. Our Luo family owes her a lot."

Luo Decheng said slowly.

"Father, Aunt Baozhen has actually let it go..."

Luo Keping was interrupted by Luo Decheng before he finished speaking: "She was just trying to coax you youngsters. If she really let it go, she would have returned to Hong Kong Island a long time ago."

"..."

When Luo Keqing heard his father's words, he didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.

"Lu Yaowen's father is Lu Rongping, and his uncle is Lu Rongan."

Luo Decheng continued.

After hearing these words, Luo Keqing's pupils shrank suddenly. He remembered clearly that in his aunt's villa, there was a tablet with the words "the seat of my late husband Lu Rong'an" written on it.

"Father, what do you mean..."

"That's right. Lu Yaowen's uncle is your aunt Baozhen's lover. Strictly speaking, your aunt Baozhen is Lu Yaowen's aunt. Because of your aunt Baozhen, our Luo family also protected the Lu family. It can be regarded as a coincidence."

Luo Decheng's words made Luo Keqing's mind a little confused.

He never dreamed that the current underground emperor of Hong Kong Island actually had such a relationship with their Luo family?
"This past has been jointly covered up by our Luo family and the Li family. In the entire Hong Kong Island, no one except those from our two families who experienced it should know about this."

Luo Decheng's tone was full of emotion.

"Father, what about you and Cheng Ansheng just now..."

There was a hint of confusion in Luo Keping's tone.

"Keping, find an opportunity to meet with Lu Yaowen secretly, have a good chat with him, and tell him our Luo family's attitude."

Luo Decheng explained his son's doubts in another way.

"..."

Luo Keping suddenly realized that what his father really wanted to support was not the "local faction" or the foreigners, but the mainland.

"Keping, Hong Kong Island is too small, which makes many people short-sighted. Those who can propose such a great policy of two systems will definitely not overturn their own policies just because of a little power in Hong Kong Island."

"I can guarantee that in the future the mainland will definitely fulfill its promise to allow Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy. The 'localists' are just worrying unnecessarily."

Luo Decheng's tone was extremely firm.

"Father, does the He family think so too?"

Rock Ping asked in a low voice.

"The He family is different from our Luo family. No matter who is in charge in Hong Kong Island, they must support the He family."

Luo Decheng shook his head slowly.

"Father, I understand what you mean. I will find an opportunity to meet with Lu Yaowen as soon as possible."

The Luo family is the spokesperson for the He family. When the interests of the two families are consistent, the He family is the Luo family's biggest backer. But if the interests of the two families are inconsistent, the Luo family will have to find a new partner on their own.

Obviously, Luo Decheng's chosen partner was Lu Yaowen.

"No need to be so anxious. Wait until I become the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Chairman of the Bar Association, then you can go meet him. He is a smart man. He should know that my move will have the greatest effect only if it is made at the critical moment."

A smile appeared on Luo Decheng's face.

"Ah."

Rocky nodded heavily.

……

On the other side, in a suite at the Victoria Hotel.

"Mr. Li, what do you want to talk to me about in person?"

Shi Kang looked at Li Guobao who was sitting in front of him and asked, "You know the answer but still ask."

Today, the British Hong Kong government broke three big news, all sending a signal that the British people want to fully delegate power to the Chinese.

At this time, Li Guobao asked Shi Kang to meet with his acting director. Shi Kang could guess what Li Guobao wanted to talk about without even using his brain.

For Shi Kang, the position of acting director was just that after he had served in it.

After all, his position as acting director is just an empty title without any real power. If Li Guobao can offer a bargaining chip that makes him interested, Shi Kang doesn't mind giving up this position.

"The security supervisors of the three banks, Bank of East Asia, Liu Chong Hing Bank, and Hang Seng Bank, earn a combined annual salary of HK$8 million, in addition to bonuses."

Li Guobao did not beat around the bush and directly reported the conditions offered to Shi Kang by the "local faction".

"Seven million Hong Kong dollars a year is indeed a lot of salary, but my health is not good, and I don't know how many years I can do it."

Shi Kang was planning to take the money and leave Hong Kong Island to enjoy himself. He didn't want to continue staying in Hong Kong Island and facing Lu Yaowen after tricking him.

"Five million US dollars, plus a villa in Australia. In addition, you can continue to work as a security consultant in our three banks with an annual salary of one million Hong Kong dollars."

Li Guobao was obviously well prepared and immediately put forward the second condition.

"Mr. Li, you are so generous. I don't know how to refuse you."

Shi Kang's face was all bright smiles.

"Director Shi Kang, as long as you are satisfied."

Li Guobao nodded in response.

"Mr. Li, we have been friends for many years. I remind you that Lu Yaowen cannot afford to suffer any loss. After I retire, Lu Yaowen will definitely find ways to drive Li Wenbin out of office. This guy is very dirty, so you should be mentally prepared."

Shi Kang said slowly.

"Don't worry, Director Shi Kang, we have already made psychological preparations."

The smile on Li Guobao's face remained unchanged.

"That's good. I will submit my retirement application in two days..."

Before Shi Kang finished speaking, Li Guobao interrupted him: "Director Shi Kang, we need you to submit your retirement application to the Governor of Hong Kong tonight."

"So urgent?"

Shi Kang's eyes flickered slightly, then he shook his head and smiled: "It's up to you, submit it tonight."

……

The next morning, the British Hong Kong government once again broke two pieces of news.

Wei Yixin approved the retirement application of Acting Commissioner of Police Shek Kang, and Deputy Commissioner of Police Li Wenbin automatically succeeded as Acting Commissioner of Police. At the same time, he appointed Luo Jia's head Luo Decheng as the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

When he heard the two pieces of news, Lu Yaowen had already boarded a yacht heading to Haojiang.

"Mr. Lu, Shi Kang suddenly proposed to retire. I had no prior information and was completely unaware of it. This is my dereliction of duty."

After Zhuo Jingquan learned the news of Shi Kang's retirement, he called Lu Yaowen immediately.

"Sir Zhuo, it has already happened. There is no point in talking about it. We still have to look forward. Besides, Li Wenbin becoming the acting director may not be a bad thing for us."

Lu Yaowen's eyes flashed and he said with a smile.

After the three big news stories broke out by the British Hong Kong government yesterday, Luk Yiu-man thought that the 'local faction' would pay a large sum of money to bribe Shi Kang to retire early so that Li Wenbin could take over as Acting Commissioner of Police.

Lu Yaowen's attitude towards this was to deliberately let it go, but he did not expect that the "local faction" would act so quickly.

"Mr. Lu, what new plans do you have?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhuo Jingquan felt relieved when he heard Lu Yaowen's words, and asked curiously.

"You'll know then."

Lu Yaowen replied with a smile.

Now that Li Wenbin has been appointed as the Acting Director, when the Political Department is eliminated, the greatest hope of this "local faction" in the police force can also be eliminated at the same time.

Thinking of this, a hint of emotion flashed in Lu Yaowen's eyes.

Once upon a time, he relied on Li Wenbin's reputation to withstand the targeting of the "foreign faction" in the police force and gained a lot of benefits. It's a pity that they have different ideals and cannot work together!
An hour later, Haojiang Pier.

"Brother Wen!"

As soon as Lu Yaowen got off the boat, He Tianer, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped into Lu Yaowen's arms like a young swallow returning to its nest.

Originally, He Tianer was planning to go to Hong Kong Island to accompany Lu Yaowen, but for safety reasons, Lu Yaowen stopped He Tianer from coming to Hong Kong Island.

"Tian'er, do you miss me?"

Lu Yaowen asked with a smile.

"I miss you so much."

He Tianer blushed and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Wen!"

"Awen."

After Lu Yaowen and He Tianer had been intimate for a while, Gao Jin and Huang San slowly walked up to Lu Yaowen and greeted him.

A few minutes later, inside a Rolls-Royce sedan.

"Third brother, are you ready?"

Lu Yaowen asked with a smile.

"Everything is ready. For the first voyage of the 'Fugui Maru', most of the people in the Macao region will be on board, including He Xin and I. In addition, there will be 600 to 700 wealthy Chinese from Hong Kong Island, Formosa Boulevard, and Southeast Asia, with a net worth of over 100 million yuan."

At this point, Huang San leaned close to Lu Yaowen's ear and lowered his voice: "To be honest, I want to do something too."

"Third brother, how about you play the role of a robber?"

Lu Yaowen smiled and winked at Huang San.

"Forget it, I was just joking. It's a pity that after what you did this time, the high seas gambling ship business is completely ruined."

Huang San shook his head and smiled.

"With Haojiang and Shiraishi Island, the gambling boat is just a bonus. It is worth using these things to exchange for the Political Department and its files."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

"Ah Wen, Brother Xian and I trust you 100%, but I still want to warn you, be careful."

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, Huang San put away the smile on his face and looked extremely serious.

The number of passengers on the "Fugui Maru" this time was too heavy. Huang San didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if an accident really happened.

If it weren't for his absolute trust in Lu Yaowen, Huang San would never agree to such a risky action.

"Don't worry, Third Brother, I have prepared triple insurance, it is absolutely foolproof."

Lu Yaowen smiled and comforted.

This time, the "terrorists" were all hired by Lu Yaowen himself and were under his surveillance throughout the process. With the double insurance of retired soldiers and patrol gunboats, it was completely safe.

In addition, Lu Yaowen has another powerful weapon. The submarine he bought from the Bear Country has already arrived in the South China Sea. Even if the legendary pirate Dragon King of the South China Sea goes out to sea again, it will not bring any changes to Lu Yaowen's plan.

"Well, I'm just reminding you."

Huang San nodded slowly.

Soon, Lu Yaowen arrived at the Republican-era building where Huang San lived.

Li Jie, Wang Jianguo, Qi Jingsheng, Thor, Luo Jinghua and others who will participate in the operation tomorrow all gathered here, waiting for Lu Yaowen's final arrangements before the operation.

On the other side, Stanley Barracks, Southern District, Hong Kong Island.

A jeep was driving slowly on the concrete road, heading towards the military airport in Stanley Military Camp.

In the jeep, besides the foreign soldier driving the car, there were three other people: Wei Yixin, McLego, and Tang Minghao.

Wei Yixin didn't want to take Lu Yaowen's plane back to Eagle Country. He chose to take a military plane to Eagle Country's base in Star City, and then fly back to London from Star City.

"Cheng Ansheng did a good job. He has won over the 'local faction' in just one day. I didn't make a mistake in choosing him."

Wei Yixin said with a smile.

"She gave away more power in one day than she had in the previous seven years. Of course the 'local faction' likes it."

McLego looked disdainful.

"Secretary Mak, this is why I asked Cheng Ansheng to preside over the work of the British Hong Kong government. You are still taking too high a stance. The Hong Kong Island today is no longer the Hong Kong Island of the past. We must adapt and lower our stance."

Wei Yixin said slowly.

"Mr. Governor, I understand what you mean. I will try my best to restrain myself."

McLego nodded slightly.

"After I arrive in London, I will ask Mr. John Davis to urge the Zu family to elect a new governor as soon as possible. I hope that this new governor can open up a new situation in Hong Kong Island."

Wei Yixin continued.

This time, neither McLego nor Tang Minghao said anything. They just looked at Wei Yixin quietly.

"When people get old, they become more verbose."

Wei Yixin smiled slightly, and then he didn't say anything until the jeep drove into the airport. Then Wei Yixin spoke to Mai Legao and Tang Minghao with a serious face, "I'll leave this to you from now on."

"Mr. Governor, we will remember your contribution to Hong Kong Island, and the British Hong Kong government will also remember your contribution to Hong Kong Island."

Mai Legao and Tang Minghao also spoke to Wei Yixin in a serious manner.

"..."

This time, Wei Yixin did not speak. With the help of the soldiers, he got out of the jeep and slowly walked towards the military aircraft not far away, step by step.

Looking at Wei Yixin's somewhat hunched and old back, McLego and Tang Minghao seemed to see the end of an era.

Twenty minutes later, the plane Wei Yixin was on took off.

Inside the cabin, Wei Yixin looked out the window at the ground getting farther and farther away from him, and at the Hong Kong Island getting smaller and smaller, and his heart was filled with emotion.

He spent more than ten years in Hong Kong Island, witnessing the Eagle people's final say on this land, as well as the Eagle people's helplessness in being forced to return the land. He also personally experienced the humiliation of being suppressed by Lu Yaowen.

As Wei Yixin was sighing, Hong Kong Island gradually disappeared from his sight, and instead, the endless blue sea gradually appeared in his sight.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yixin withdrew his gaze, leaned back on the chair, gently closed his eyes, and his expression relaxed.

But at this moment, Wei Yixin didn't know that tomorrow, on the surface of the blue sea below him, there would be a loud explosion, but it would be the British Hong Kong government a hundred kilometers away that would be blown up...
