Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 247 A Shocking Event: The Village Undergoes a Change of Dynasty, and Grandpa Becomes History!

Lu Hantao gave the order.

But the villagers behind him, contrary to their usual behavior, did not attack him en masse. Instead, they gripped their weapons and shrank back slightly.

"Go! What's wrong with you all? Don't you even listen to me anymore?"

Lu Hantao's eyes widened, and he was filled with a violent aura.

But the next second, the sound coming from the speakers made Lu Hantao feel as if he had fallen into a swamp.

"Ding Quan is merely a product of his time. With the rapid development of the times, things change every ten years, and he is no longer the same as before."

"There are only about 200,000 men in the whole Territory. Hong Kong Island is just an island, and land is limited. It's a waste of land to build a small house for every man."

“Building a Dingwu Building is different. A single plot of land can be used to build a dozen or more buildings, each dozens of stories high. That’s making the most of resources.”

"In my opinion, the Dingwu Ordinance should also be phased out."

Lu Hantao's arrogant words instantly caused an uproar at the scene.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Lu Hantao.

Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

These words actually came from the mouth of their revered and respected grandfather.

This shows that they weren't on everyone's side at all!
"This is taking things out of context. These were my compliments when I was advocating for everyone's interests against the Lands Department, and people have used them to make a fuss!"

"Don't believe it, everyone!"

Lu Hantao, his face dark, loudly defended himself.

Years of cultivating inner strength crumbled at this moment.

Chen Shixian remained silent, simply standing on the stage watching the show with a smile on his face, observing Lu Hantao, like a grasshopper in late autumn, hopping around.

One after another, increasingly exciting recordings emanated from the speakers.

"To achieve great things, one should not be bound by trivial matters. The worst thing is to be soft-hearted. What are relatives and brothers? They are all real money."

"Do I need to teach you how to do this? These villagers who can barely read any words, how can they even tell whether the purchase price is in US dollars or Hong Kong dollars when they draft an English contract?"

"Buy it for a few hundred a square foot, then sell it for several thousand. How can you make money if the stock price hits its daily limit?"

"Six hundred thousand for a soldier? Are you crazy? Three hundred thousand would have been enough. You're offering six hundred thousand, do you think I don't want a fee for my trouble?"

"It doesn't matter. Once the Dingwu Mansion is built, where will the Lu family walled village be? What about relatives and brothers? Who are you then?"

……

Lu Hantao's face grew increasingly grim, turning from white to green, then from green to blue—a truly spectacular sight.

His arrogant and pretentious demeanor vanished instantly.

He looked as if he had lost all color.

His eyes were filled with despair.

And those outrageous words kept challenging everyone's nerves.

The amount of information is simply too great.

The whole scene was like a kettle constantly burning on a fire.

The water is boiling and could overflow at any moment.

Liao Zhizong, Huang Zhicheng, and the other constables were so shocked that their jaws dropped open.

One exciting show after another, so many that it's dazzling!

I originally thought that Chen Shixian was like an ant trying to shake a tree, overestimating his own strength, and would die a terrible death.

Unexpectedly, a few recordings easily reversed the situation.

"My fellow clansmen!"

“Lu Hantao’s actions are just the tip of the iceberg. He and his brothers even embezzled the money from people selling their land and children, engaging in scams that exploit people.”

“Treat the villagers like pigs, take them to mahjong parlors, stables, and nightclubs, squander their money, and then make a fortune.”

"It has caused everyone to lose their money, their houses, their land, and become homeless."

"Everyone has been fooled by Grandpa!"

Lu Yongyuan has dropped another bombshell.

Normally, people might not believe what Lu Yongyuan says, but having a recording makes all the difference.

The villagers were now furious, their eyes bloodshot, glaring hatefully at Lu Hantao and Lu Jinqiang.

I wanted to pounce on them and tear them to pieces.

They all looked like they wanted to eat people.

Seeing this, Chen Shixian continued to add fuel to the fire, dispelling the villagers' last remaining concerns.

"Everyone, A Yuan and I have decided to develop the walled village, not only because A Yuan doesn't want to sell his land cheaply and wants to make money, but more importantly because we can't stand Lu Hantao's behavior."

"Therefore, Genesis Properties, United Construction, and the Ho family, one of the four major real estate companies, have reached an agreement to jointly develop this project!"

"To prevent Grandpa from dominating everything."

"This isn't about blocking your way; it's about overcoming all obstacles to pave the way for you!"

"The one who's been scrambling for food in everyone's bowl is Lu Hantao!"

Lu Jinqiang frowned deeply, utterly shocked. This news was simply too hardcore.

When did Genesis Realty manage to partner with the behemoth that is the Ho family?

With the He family's financial and team support, developing the walled village would be a piece of cake.

Then Grandpa's words, which he used to incite everyone, have become nothing but nonsense and drivel.

Even if the US representative withdrew investment from Wanshan.

The development of the walled villages will not stop.

Everyone's rights and land can still be converted into cash.

There is nothing left to bind the villagers' interests.

Lu Hantao will only lose the development rights, be disgraced, and become a complete mess because of the leaked recording.

And he shares in both glory and loss.

“I am the grandfather of the New Territories, the pillar of the Luk family. Without me, we would not have been able to unite everyone and take the lead in seizing the Ding Quan.”

"Without this, we wouldn't be where we are today!"

"I was originally entitled to a share of Ding Quan's rights!"

“The development of the village was also a lot of work for me, involving searching for the Land Administration Department and investors.”

"Otherwise, who would want to develop this godforsaken place!"

"I deserve this!"

Lu Hantao's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to be going crazy, perhaps because of the shock.

He hysterically yelled at everyone, and his uncles and relatives couldn't stop him.

The villagers had never seen Lu Hantao become so out of control.

“Lu Hantao, the reason you are called Grandpa is not because you are awesome, but because everyone supports you, recognizes you, and listens to you. That’s why you are Grandpa.”

"If I don't acknowledge you, you're nothing!"

"Gun Dingquan's power is the result of everyone's united efforts, not your personal achievement!"

Stop trying to make yourself look good!

Chen Shixian said loudly with a cold laugh.

These words stirred up the villagers' emotions, which surged to a fever pitch.

Lu Yongyuan's close relatives also began to incite others as planned.

"That old bastard Lu Hantao is selfish and self-serving, he harms the villagers, he is unworthy of his position, he is not fit to be our representative, he is not fit to be our grandfather!"

"Uncle Tao has used the collective's interests for personal gain, he has let down his ancestors, he should be removed from the family genealogy and driven out of the village!"

"You old bastard, this is utterly outrageous and inhuman!"

"Fuck off!"

"Step down!"

"Remove all men!"

"Withdraw the land!"

"Pay back the money!"

……

The villagers, their anger surging forth, pushed and shoved Lu Hantao like a tidal wave, causing him to stumble and fall.

Everyone was incredibly angry.

The situation is getting worse.

I was deceived, betrayed, and treated like a fool.

Nobody will be happy about that.

Big D and Jimmy were both excited and thrilled by this ultimate twist.

Damn it, if you have recordings or incriminating evidence, you should have said so earlier!
They've already reached an agreement with the Ho family, one of the four major real estate developers. Why didn't they say so earlier?

You had so many cards to play, why didn't you say so earlier!

They were filled with fear and anxiety, thinking they were going to die here today.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly useless guy, Da Lao Xian, actually has some skills!
Big D, Jimmy, and Nine-Dragon immediately joined in the fun, leading everyone in a shout.

"Fuck off!"

"Step down!"

More than 10,000 people shouted in unison, their voices thunderous and deafening.

The crowd was in high spirits and united as one.

The power that Lu Hantao skillfully used ultimately backfired on his grandfather.

He turned the dagger in his hand around and plunged it fiercely into himself.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Enraged, Lu Hantao, who already suffered from asthma and heart disease, coughed up a mouthful of blood as he was surrounded by the crowd.

Heart-wrenching.

A lifetime of hard work has gone to waste.

The village development project was seized.

Even the position of the Lu family's patriarch could not be preserved.

He spent his whole life hunting eagles, only to have his eyes pecked out by one, and was turned around by a young upstart like Chen Shixian.

hate it!

Not reconciled!
Lu Hantao's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest and difficulty breathing.

The cane tilted and fell to the ground.

He clutched his chest, his face turning purple, his lips trembling, glaring hatefully at Chen Shixian, but he couldn't even budge a hair on his head, utterly powerless.

"Thump!" Lu Hantao, looking unwilling, fell heavily to the ground.

Power, wealth, billions in development projects—all those past events flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

Until the cloudy eyes gradually lost their luster.

With Lu Hantao's passing, an era belonging to the old men of the walled village came to a complete end.

Lu Jinqiang supported his grandfather, his face ashen and his eyes filled with despair.

The bamboo basket was empty.

He confessed to the murder on the spot, and with both audio and video recordings available, he will inevitably have to go to Stanley for punishment.

He could only reunite with Lu Yongquan in prison.

As Grandpa died, Lu Jinqiang was taken away.

The groundbreaking ceremony for Genesis Real Estate was successfully held.

The villagers gathered together, resulting in a highly effective publicity campaign.

The village of Lu became the home ground for Chen Shixian and Lu Yongyuan.

Next, Lu Yongyuan took the stage to explain Genesis Real Estate's policies and measures for acquiring people and land.

The entire acquisition process was conducted in strict accordance with the acquisition standards of US investors.

At the same time, a piece of land was allocated to build resettlement housing. The more Ding Quan and the land he sold, the larger the housing area he would receive.

Those who sign the contract today will receive an extra five square meters.

Everyone was in an uproar.

This brand-new initiative instantly won over everyone's hearts.

In fact, villagers who are used to living in houses can only afford to buy a small pigeon coop in the city even after selling their land and children.

If the area around the village is developed, it will no longer be the countryside, and the resettlement housing will be no worse than that in the city.

Giving someone a house is more satisfying than giving them money.

With both money and housing subsidies, many villagers immediately went to the front desk to register.

This measure is definitely beneficial to these indigenous people.

With the example of Grandpa's deceitful actions preceding them, Genesis Real Estate's development plan is even more daunting for everyone.

I signed the contract today, and they gave me an extra five square meters.

By taking down the old man, the losses were recovered, and the area even increased. Many people flocked to register.

Therefore, the battle for the development rights of the enclosed village ended with a one-sided victory for Chen Shixian.

After all, no one has as many tricks up their sleeve as him.

While others navigate business by feeling their way across the river, Chen Shixian navigates his business by feeling the heads of all the big shots who are balding from worry.

As the crowd gradually dispersed.

Surrounded by Baozhu, Da D, Jimmy, and others, Chen Shixian walked toward his Rolls-Royce like a star surrounded by the moon.

The bodyguards, workers, and henchmen all made way for him.

"Brother Xian, please invite me again next time there's an event like this. I love joining in the fun!"

Big D, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked radiant and was in an excellent mood.

With a development project worth tens of billions, having secured a powerful backer from Chen Shixian and hitched a ride with He Yuji, one of the four major real estate developers, this project is about to take off.

"Next time, next time, given Brother Xian's status, who knows, he might just storm the Governor's Mansion and disrupt the handover ceremony of the top leader. Do you have the guts?"

Jimmy chuckled and teased from the side.

“Hey, you two, don’t ruin my reputation. I’m a Hong Kong-loving entrepreneur.”

"Go back and recruit more people; the village encirclement project will be launched soon."

Chen Shixian smiled, left a message, and got into the car.

The Rolls-Royce started up and drove away from the scene amidst the throng of admirers and farewells.

This world is just so incomprehensible.

The village elder, who had just been swaggering around with overwhelming power, was utterly disgraced and fell flat on his face in public in the blink of an eye.

Chen Shixian, also a villager, rose to power in the blink of an eye, rewrote the fate of the Lu family, secured a multi-billion dollar project, and became rich and powerful.

Rolls-Royce, fading into the distance.

Big D, Jimmy, Nine-Dragon and other big shots left the scene one after another, and the rest of the underlings, workers and bodyguards also prepared to leave one after another.

"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep!"

The village is only a small area with only one main road in and out. With so many people preparing to leave at the same time, congestion naturally occurred.

The horn was extremely loud.

After the farce ended, Chen Shixian became the biggest winner, and the villagers of the surrounding village also got a satisfactory result. Only the constables, looking dejected, stayed at the scene to evacuate the crowd and direct traffic.

The sun was getting increasingly scorching.

The sun was so intense that the officers complained bitterly.

"Wow!"

Ma Jun tilted his head back, gulped down the bottled water, and splashed the rest all over his face.

He crushed a mineral water bottle and threw it hard at the back of the vehicles.

"What the hell? Are you kidding me? This is outrageous! Boss Xian stirred up trouble, stole the limelight, and reaped both fame and fortune, while we cops have to work overtime to help them clear traffic. He's really shameless!"

"Thugs, escorts, and blue lantern boys all get red envelopes for working here. Are they treating us as free labor?"

Liao Zhizong patted Ma Jun on the shoulder and comforted him, "Forget it, who has the energy to complain? Save your energy, finish the process as soon as possible, and go home early!"

"Chen Shixian is not the same person he used to be."

"Once he secures the multi-billion dollar project surrounding the village, he could very well become a new billionaire."

"The taxes they pay alone are more than what we earn in a year if we work on a fixed salary until retirement."

"Who knows, maybe someone else will contribute a portion of your salary in the future!"

Ma Jun looked indignant, frowned, loosened his bow tie, and complained somewhat unhappily, "Damn it, what kind of world is this? As long as you have money, you can't tell right from wrong."

"Those foreigners at the higher levels usually make a racket while they're handling cases, but they're not making a sound today, despite the huge commotion."

"I think he also received benefits from Boss Xian!"

Huang Zhicheng casually puffed on a cigarette and waved his hand, saying, "You'll get used to it. That's just how foreigners are."

"But this time Chen Shixian doesn't need to give away a single penny, and the foreigners will turn a blind eye."

"What do you mean?" Ma Jun asked, puzzled.

“Walled villages and Kowloon City are lawless places. Foreigners can’t get their hands in there, and our police can’t do anything about these places.”

"Looking at it from another angle, he did us a great favor. There's one less powerful grandpa in the future."

"One less lawless place."

"Today is the groundbreaking ceremony for Genesis Real Estate. What's wrong with having a lot of people? What's wrong with wanting to make it a bit lively?"

"He didn't use any force, he didn't break the law, and he even helped us solve an attempted murder case. He's a good person."

"It's just some work, stop complaining!"

Ma Jun and Liao Zhizong looked at Huang Zhicheng as if they had seen a ghost; the angle was truly bizarre.

These remarks are not at all what a police officer should say.

The two of them simultaneously gave a thumbs-up, then turned it upside down and exclaimed "Wow!"

That evening, at the He family villa on Victoria Peak.

On the white marble long dining table, a tightly woven tablecloth was laid out. The butler took a steak from the serving cart and placed it on the table.

The placement of each dish is very particular.

The plates were also very exquisite.

The butler and servants were busy attending to the guests.

He Yuji sat leisurely at the dining table, laid out a napkin, and skillfully cut the tomahawk steak with a knife.

Sitting opposite him was his business manager, Manager Guo.

“Mr. He, Lu Hantao, the great-grandfather of the Lu family, is dead, and the shareholders of the Lu Guo Group have also fallen apart.”

"I have inside information that the American investor has decided to withdraw from the walled village development. That Wall Street elite is flying back to the United States tonight."

"And all of this is Chen Shixian's masterpiece!"

Manager Guo spoke slowly and calmly, recounting the events in a measured and unhurried manner.

? ? ! !
At that moment, He Yuji seemed to have heard something incredible. His knife paused slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He had originally promised Chen Shixian that if he could win over the old man in the walled village, he would cooperate with him.

But I didn't really have high hopes.

This guy was just too difficult to deal with, so I sent him away.

If we can get it done, that would be the best outcome. After all, none of the four major real estate developers would be unwilling to get involved in the walled village project.

If you can't handle it, you'll save yourself the trouble.

So, in the end, he still gave Chen Shixian the check for one hundred million.

Unexpectedly, this situation has arisen in just a few days.

It wasn't just about winning over Grandpa Lu Hantao.

Even the LuGuo Group and American investors were wiped out.

It was truly unexpected and surprising.

Having been in business for many years, he had never seen such a sharp-witted young man.

He Yuji was in turmoil, but his expression remained unchanged. His surprise was only momentary.

Soon, he started cutting the steak again, and then a slight smile appeared on his lips: "The younger generation will surpass the older generation; the future belongs to the young."

"Chen Shixian, this young man, is quite something!"

"Hong Kong Island hasn't seen such a sharp-witted person in a long time!"

"Help me arrange a golf game with him and tell him that the collaboration can be put on the agenda."

"Okay, I'll let you know."

Manager Guo hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He gently placed the cutlery aside, picked up the phone, hesitated for two seconds, then looked up at He Yuji:
“But, Mr. He, I must remind you that Chen Shixian is different from ordinary businessmen.”

"He has connections, methods, and a thuggish air about him. It's very dangerous to cooperate with him."

He Yuji picked up a napkin, gently wiped the stains from the corner of his mouth, and smiled nonchalantly: "Business always involves risks."

“The louder the storm, the more expensive the fish!”

"His strengths are his connections, his methods, and his thuggish nature, not his weaknesses!"

"If you don't cooperate with this kind of person, since he's not on your side, it will cause a lot of trouble!"

"Yes, I understand!" Manager Guo nodded immediately and dialed Chen Shixian's number.
