Reborn in 1970, I thrived in Hong Kong.

Chapter 76 Strike First, Revenge Must Not Wait a Night

On May 25, 1971, Liu Yizhuang, who was in London, had just acquired several small newspapers in London when he received a registered airmail letter from Li Huai-ren sent through Hong Kong Post.

At the same time, the heads of Phoenix News Agency's branches in Europe and the United States also received registered airmail letters sent by someone arranged by Li Huai-ren.

On May 27, The Sun suddenly published an article titled "The well-known secret between Hong Kong police and scoundrels," which was detailed and listed a series of unbelievable statistics.

That day, Londoners who had read The Sun were all talking about it.

The following day, The Sun published an article titled "Hong Kong's 500 Million Dollar Detective - Lui Lok," which exposed in detail how Lui Lok colluded with scoundrels to collect fees and how he split the fees with British senior officers in the police force!

In fact, this scene also played out in Washington and New York across the Atlantic, with multiple newspapers publishing the two articles simultaneously.

The United Nations headquarters is in New York, and diplomats from various countries stationed at the UN learn about current events every day through newspapers.

This put the British at the UN headquarters in an awkward position, making them the target of ridicule from the Soviet Union and other countries.

The following day, newspapers in the capitals of various European and American countries also reprinted the two articles.

On that day, The Sun and several New York newspapers published an article titled "Why does London tolerate police corruption in colonial Hong Kong?", which provided an in-depth analysis of the reasons and subtly pointed to the British Labour Party and Conservative Party, saying that both parties accepted proceeds from corruption in Hong Kong as secret campaign funds, making a very assertive claim!

The British Labour and Conservative parties immediately panicked. Neither party cared much about the article published in The Sun about the corruption of the colonial police, especially the opposition Labour Party, which was even somewhat gloating, since it was the ruling Conservative Party that was losing face.

However, the latest article, signed "Anson Fong," directly shifts the blame to both the Labour Party and the Conservative Party. If this is confirmed, what a mess it would be.

The leaders of the British ruling and opposition parties immediately met and exchanged views.

Later that day, British Prime Minister Edward Heath went to Buckingham Palace. After returning to Downing Street, he ordered Governor David Trench to step down early and instructed Murray MacLehose to go to Hong Kong immediately to take over as governor and complete the handover as soon as possible.

Back on May 27th, at 2:30 AM, Lei Luo suddenly received a long-distance phone call from London. After hanging up, he immediately woke up his wife and children, telling them to pack their things quickly and take the earliest flight the next day, no matter where they were going, to leave Hong Kong first, and then transfer to Canada.

As for him, he had to stay in Hong Kong, sell off his properties as quickly as possible, and then flee to Taiwan with the money.

The person who called him made it very clear that Canada is a Commonwealth country and has an extradition treaty with Hong Kong, and that he should not go to any Commonwealth country or the United States.

After thinking for a moment, he made another phone call and invited Zhuyouzi to his home.

Early the next morning, all of Lei Luo's wives and children took the earliest flight to Tokyo, Japan, intending to transfer in Tokyo to Toronto, Canada.

Li Huai-ren has been quite busy these past few days, keeping a close eye on the news reports sent back to Hong Kong by Phoenix News Agency's London and New York branches, as well as the things he specifically instructed the two branches to understand clearly.

The articles published in The Sun and several New York newspapers under the pseudonym "Fang Ansheng" were naturally written by Li Huai-ren.

Li Huai-ren is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and he never lets a grudge linger. Since they've already set their sights on him, he's not going to be foolish enough to resort to tactics like appeasement, diplomacy before force, or striking only after the enemy has made their move.

We must strike first and nip all dangers in the bud! In his view, this is the most correct approach.

Therefore, after learning that Lei Luo was after him, he immediately and decisively took action, using the same methods he used in his previous life, the British BBC, to fabricate several articles.

Of course, although his articles were far inferior to those of the BBC in his previous life, they couldn't all be fake; they were seven parts fact and three parts fabrication.

Moreover, he deliberately used the name of An Fangsheng, a woman who had married into the Chen family in Hong Kong, to publish the article, hoping to take advantage of her and this big traitor to Hong Kong.

After finishing his boxing practice, Li Huai-ren was about to have breakfast when he suddenly received a call from Zhu You-zai, inviting him to have dim sum at Hong Fu Lou.

Li Huai-ren immediately guessed the purpose of Piggy's invitation to have morning tea: Lei Luo was definitely planning to run away and wanted to dispose of all his real estate and other assets as quickly as possible.

The only person in Hong Kong who could swallow all of his assets in one go is himself, because only he has enough cash to take them all in one go!

Having figured all this out, Li Huai-ren agreed to have morning tea with Zhu You-zai.

But he didn't dare to be careless and immediately asked Qiao Wu to make security arrangements in advance.

Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Piggy immediately said to Lei Luo beside him:

"Brother Luo, that scoundrel Li Huai-ren has agreed to have dim sum with me at Hung Fook Lou."

With his capabilities, he should be able to acquire all the properties you own in one go.

"Brother Luo, I think you should book your plane tickets first. Once you've negotiated the price with that bastard Li Huai-ren, leave the rest to me."

Lei Luo waved his hand and said:

"Qi Rong, it's alright."

Let me tell you, the people who least want me to get into trouble right now are these British guys in Hong Kong.

What they want most is for me to die, but they don't dare to do it to me. I've already told these foreigners that if anything happens to me, their secrets will be exposed immediately.

So, they probably want me to leave Hong Kong as soon as possible, so that it's good for me, good for them, and good for everyone!

He sighed:

"Sigh, I never thought that I would get into trouble just because I was thinking of making a move against Li Huai Ren."

Li Huai-ren is going to rip me off this time; he'll probably only accept it after I offer at least an 80% discount.

Kai-wing, after I leave Hong Kong, you'll have to deal with your properties as soon as possible.

This time, Fang Ansheng really messed up a huge mess, tearing away the British's fig leaf and slapping them in the face.

The new governor is likely to take action against the police. Don't be complacent, understand?

After saying that, he muttered to himself:

"This is strange. I don't know or remember offending anyone named Fang Ansheng. Is she a man or a woman? What does she do? Why is she doing this to me?"

After pondering for a while, he looked up at Piggy and said:

"Kai-wing, this Fang An-sheng must be from Hong Kong. And since he knows so much about our affairs, he must be an employee of some department of the Hong Kong government."

After I leave Hong Kong, you should investigate this person thoroughly. His existence poses a great threat to me, and especially to you detectives who are still in service.

After you scrape him out, don't be soft-hearted; you must deal with him immediately, otherwise, there will be endless trouble!
