Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident
Chapter 96 Things Have Gone Wrong
"The Getty family? You mean that sci-fi arcade?"
Recently, sci-fi arcade games have sparked a craze in Hong Kong and even around the world, and the Getty family, as the main driving force behind them, has naturally gained even greater influence.
Lin Dan frowned, a hint of seriousness unconsciously showing in his eyes.
Could this conflict be related to the attack on the Li Huangtai family?
But that shouldn't be the case!
As far as he knew, Henry Getty, who had previously visited Hong Kong, did not seem to have any direct contact with traditional wealthy Chinese families like Li Huangtai!
Gao Dong shook his head and explained, "Everyone should know about the ups and downs regarding Hutchison Whampoa's equity stake these past few days."
According to information provided by our sources, HSBC recently transferred 22.4% of its shares to Sci-Fi Arcade.
And Li Huangtai..."
At this point, everyone should have a general idea!
This involves a conflict of interests!
"You mean Li Huangtai vented his dissatisfaction on people working with sci-fi arcade games because his interests were harmed;"
And the Americans used this to launch a counterattack?
Lin Dan and Yue Dingzhi appeared both shocked and troubled by the news.
What appears to be an ordinary assassination attempt has somehow drawn in America's top powers.
This family is not only a giant in the international energy industry, but also involved in many key sectors, possessing astonishing wealth and influence.
If this family is truly involved, the situation will develop far beyond their imagination, and may even escalate into an international incident.
If the United States then uses this as a pretext to directly intervene in the geopolitical disputes between China and England...
They are really facing a tough situation now.
The original plan was to use this incident to put pressure on the Chiang family to demand a thorough investigation and thereby enhance their positive image.
But now that they understand the cause and effect of the matter, they are in a dilemma.
Even if Li Huangtai were in the right, they would still have to be extremely cautious when handling such a sensitive matter.
Even the slightest mistake could draw criticism from high-ranking officials in mainland China, leave a bad impression on the outside world, and damage relationships with other Chinese business leaders.
"This is difficult!"
Yue Dingzhi frowned, clearly feeling a headache.
"If the interception was indeed orchestrated by Young Master Li, then MI6 of England will not let it go easily."
"The previous plan is clearly no longer working, and we must re-examine the entire situation."
"call!"
Lin Dan stood up and said firmly, "Now is not the time to discuss the difficulty."
Our superiors instructed us to help Hong Kong businesses as much as possible and deepen mutual trust.
Now that this has happened, we must make a decision.
"So we're just going to blindly support the Li family without any regard for right or wrong?"
As Yue Dingzhi spoke, he exhaled a smoke ring, the white smoke swirling in front of him, adding a touch of mystery to his words.
"President, I believe that even if this incident is retaliation for the Causeway Bay incident, we should still put pressure on the Hong Kong British authorities while avoiding further conflict."
We must let Hong Kong's patriotic entrepreneurs see that no matter when or where, the motherland will never abandon them.
We must avoid showing weakness at the very beginning, lest others think we are incompetent!
At this moment, a middle-aged senior executive sitting at the end of the table suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence: "Of course, if the subsequent investigation reveals the truth of the matter, we can also adjust our strategy according to the actual situation."
His words plunged everyone present into deep thought, and the atmosphere in the meeting room became unusually heavy, with only the occasional sound of documents being turned echoing in the air.
Lin Dan pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone, and finally said firmly, "Comrade Shen Dian is right. We cannot abandon our support for Chinese families because of concerns about the attitude of the United States."
Of course, this is based on rationality and caution.
Then, he turned to Gao Dong, the head of the intelligence department.
"Gao Dong, continue to track the Getty family's movements and find out the connection between the second son of the Li family and the Causeway Bay incident."
We need solid evidence to support our decisions.
Gao Dong nodded in response: "Understood, President. I will arrange the manpower immediately."
"Dingzhi," Lin Dan continued, "you are responsible for communicating with the Hong Kong British government to express our strong dissatisfaction with this incident."
At the same time, we contacted the US side privately to clarify our position, hoping they could consider the overall situation and not let personal grievances interfere with bilateral relations.
"The public relations department should prepare a statement as soon as possible, and the security team should work closely with local communities to develop contingency plans."
Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is pressing. I hope everyone will fulfill their responsibilities and act swiftly.
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison and then began to carry out their respective tasks in an orderly manner.
After everyone had left the meeting room, Lin Dan hesitated for a moment, then picked up the red phone on the table and dialed a confidential number.
"This is Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch. I am Lin Dan."
There are important situations that need to be reported to superiors immediately!
.......
"Boss, Li Huangtai has been shot!"
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, Henry had just finished dealing with the busy affairs of the arcade company when he saw Liam walking over with a serious expression to report to his superiors.
"Could it be that a fallen angel did this?"
"Yes."
"Didn't I tell them to teach Li Huangtai a lesson?"
"I didn't say I wanted to kill him!"
Henry hesitated for a moment after seeing Liam nod.
In his memory, he had only ordered that Li Huangtai be taught a lesson and let him know where his bottom line was, but he had never said that he wanted to take his life!
A sense of foreboding rose in Henry's heart; he realized that things might have gotten out of his control.
"Liam, how could there be such a big discrepancy?"
According to Zhao Ganggang's report, the Li Huangtai family recently raised their security level.
Due to a shortage of manpower, the Fallen Angels squad was simply unable to overcome the numerous obstacles to carry out their punishment.
As he spoke, Liam took a report from his briefcase and handed it to Henry.
"According to intelligence we obtained from MI6, Li Huangtai's second son had private contact with Yiqun a few days ago."
After secretly dealing with the leader of the Yiqun Hall, the Fallen Angel targeted three members of the Li Huangtai family.
As per your instructions, they did not strike the opponent's vitals, but only their limbs.
"It really is the Li Huangtai family?"
Henry listened as he took the report, quickly skimming through the text with a furrowed brow.
"It's gotten too big of a fuss."
"Immediately send them to the Middle East to avoid the storm..."
