Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

The female reporter had only come to question Zeng Zhiwei after receiving the news, but unexpectedly, he turned the tables on her, making it seem as if she was the one disturbing the deceased's peace.

This immediately made the female reporter tremble with anger, but she was completely powerless against Zeng Zhiwei.

At this point, Zeng Guoshan, a heavyweight figure, finally arrived.

He first hugged his son, and then turned to the crowd to express his gratitude: "Thank you, thank you all for coming to the rally for my son Zhiwei."

“When Chi-wai had just graduated from university, he said he wanted to join our Love the People Association and serve the citizens of Hong Kong. At the time, I thought he was joking, so I said that the most important thing for him was to do a good job in the local area.”

"After five years of dedicated work, I feel he has matured and is absolutely capable of serving Hong Kong and its citizens. Is that alright?"

“Thank you, thank you for your support!”

After hearing Zeng Guoshan's words, the crowd cheered loudly.

After concluding this so-called rally, Zeng Zhiwei returned to the company with his election team.

However, after returning to the company, Zeng Zhiwei seemed like a completely different person.

Over the smallest thing, he berated a female employee under his command: "High-achieving student, what do you think you're doing? The Tak Lao Shan Tunnel, not the Tak Lao Shan Tunnel? There's no character with the 'single person' radical in it. And the English posts you made are all grammatically wrong, and you don't even know Chinese characters. Did you buy your degree? Trash!"

The female employee was almost brought to tears by the scolding and could only bow her head and apologize, "I'm sorry!"

He then grabbed another male employee and said, "I want to ask, who was that woman who barged in to interview me today? Why didn't anyone help me block her? If I hadn't been able to handle it, everyone would be finished, right?"

"I'm sorry!" the male employee quickly apologized.

Zeng Zhiwei coldly addressed everyone, "From now on, every campaign event of mine will be attended by a group of proper reporters! Not gossipy old women like today, understand?"

"understood!"

"work!"

Zeng Zhiwei presents two completely different faces in public and in private.

It must be said that he has indeed begun to show some of the demeanor of a politician.

After leaving the company, he drove directly to the cemetery.

Today is the day of Guo Ziyi's burial, and he and his father both have to go.

After all, their family has a close relationship with the Guo family, and Guo Ziyi and Zeng Zhiwei were previously boyfriend and girlfriend.

In the cemetery, Zeng Zhiwei saw Guo Shirong, whose hair was gray.

However, he was somewhat hesitant to make eye contact with the other person.

After all... a guilty conscience needs no accuser!

Guo Shirong didn't notice him either. Instead, he placed a bouquet of white roses on his daughter's coffin with a heavy expression, looking dull and haggard.

The guests presented white roses before getting up to leave.

Zeng Zhiwei then feigned concern and approached Guo Shirong, saying, "Uncle, please accept my condolences."

Guo Shirong said with a guilty look, "If I hadn't let Ziyi stay in Hong Kong, this might not have happened."

“Don’t blame yourself,” Zeng Zhiwei continued.

At this moment, Zeng Guoshan hurriedly said to Guo Shirong, "Now that the truth has come out, let Ziyi rest in peace!"

After saying that, he patted Guo Shirong on the shoulder, then turned and left with his son.

Just as Guo Shirong was mourning his daughter, a man in black walked over.

"Mr. Guo, right?" the man in black said directly to Guo Shirong, "Your daughter wasn't killed by that kid named Li Yifeng. There's more to the story."

Guo Shirong suddenly looked up, a fierce look in his eyes: "Who are you? Who sent you?"

The man in black said calmly, "Who I am is not important. What's important, Mr. Guo, do you want an innocent scoundrel to take the blame, or... the truth?"

"Why should I believe you?" Guo Shirong said coldly. "I've seen plenty of swindlers like you! Get lost, or you'll regret it!"

The man in black was not afraid; instead, he took out a document and handed it to Guo Shirong.

Guo Shirong opened the document and his expression changed.

The man in black continued, "This morning, the defense lawyers found a new witness and, under the protection of the East Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, planned to transfer the witness."

"But they were ambushed and killed en route while transferring the witnesses! One witness is dead and the other has disappeared, and all the crucial evidence has vanished. Mr. Guo, you've seen your share of storms, you should understand what happened!"

"What can this prove?" Guo Shirong asked the man in black, his expression unchanged.

He seemed dismissive of the documents, but his trembling hands betrayed him; he was far from calm.

The man in black said calmly, "Words without evidence are indeed hard to believe. But do you remember when I said there was another witness who escaped? She's your daughter's best friend. Once we find her, everything will be clear, won't it?"

Guo Shirong stared intently at the man in black and said, "Why are you telling me all this?"

The man in black smiled and said, "You'll know once you find out the truth!"

After saying that, the man in black turned and left, not giving Guo Shirong a chance to speak at all.

Looking at the documents in his hand, Guo Shirong clenched his fist.

He was actually wondering if there was something fishy about the matter, because the investigation had gone too smoothly.

It went smoothly... as if it had been arranged by someone.

Arrested on the spot and brought to court immediately, it was as if someone couldn't wait to get that kid in jail.

However, Guo Shirong was so immersed in the pain of losing his daughter that he didn't think about this at all.

In retrospect, the whole thing is indeed problematic.

Looking at his daughter's tombstone and portrait, Guo Shirong immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.

……

"The goods have been delivered?" Chen Jiajun asked the intelligence officer. "What was Guo Shirong's performance like?"

The intelligence officer said with a smile, "He will definitely investigate. Guo Shirong also sensed that something was wrong with this matter."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "As the investigation deepens, he'll find Zeng Guoshan's shadow everywhere. That'll get interesting! By the way, have you found the other person I asked you to investigate?"

"We've found the boss!" The intelligence officer said, placing a file on the table and introducing the man: "This guy's name is Ji Shaoqun, a senior inspector in the narcotics squad. He's also a member of the Brotherhood!"

"However, this guy was a bit unlucky. He fell in love with a woman who worked as a madam at a nightclub, and the police blocked his promotion path because his background check failed."

"Furthermore, with Cai Yuanqi being kicked out of the police force by you, boss, and without any protection from above, his chances of promotion are now hopeless, and the Brotherhood seems to have given up on him as well."

Chen Jiajun glanced at the information and said with a smile, "Great, that's him! His experience is perfect for the role of bait."

"Boss, what's your plan?" the intelligence officer asked, scratching his head. "This guy's already been abandoned by the Brotherhood. Can he really be used as bait?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Do you think the Brotherhood's cash flow will dry up after losing funding from the Aimin Party's foundations?"

“That’s for sure.” The intelligence officer nodded and said, “Guo Shirong gives almost 80 percent of the income from several foundations to the Aimin Party every year, and then Zeng Guoshan transfers it to the Brotherhood. It’s at least hundreds of millions of dollars every year!”

Chen Jiajun nodded: "With such a large funding gap, will these Brotherhood members try to find other ways to make up for it?"

“That’s for sure!” the intelligence officer nodded and said.

"Won't these guys from the Brotherhood go back to their old ways once they run out of money?" Chen Jiajun continued. "They've sold laundry detergent before. What other business can make money faster than that? And then, think about Ji Shaoqun's position?"

The intelligence officer suddenly realized: "I see, boss, you want to... But, will they take the bait?"

Chen Jiajun said confidently, "I guarantee they will! Because they can't wait any longer!"

Chen Jiajun produced another document, which listed a man named Li Yonglian. "Boss, what's the connection between this guy and me?" the intelligence officer asked, puzzled.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "This is the person Silva found out through the club that Cai Yuanqi frequents! A high-ranking official in the Department of Justice, and also the guy vying for the position of Secretary for Justice!"

“Through Cai Yuanqi’s network of connections, I’m certain he’s also a member of the Brotherhood! I’m really surprised; I never expected the Brotherhood’s influence to expand so rapidly! They’ve even extended their reach into the Three Departments and Thirteen Bureaus!”

"Now is a crucial time for Lai Wing-lim's election. Do you think the fraternity will give it its full support?"

The intelligence officer nodded and said, "That's for sure, the position of director!"

"That means their brotherhood's funding absolutely cannot be cut off during this period!" Chen Jiajun said with a sneer. "If pushed to the limit, it's not surprising that they'll take desperate measures."

The intelligence officers then understood Chen Jiajun's entire plan: "Are you planning to use this person to drag the entire Brotherhood down with you?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head, rubbed his temples, and said, "It's not that simple. It's just about slowing down their expansion! These people have already become a force to be reckoned with. Unless the commissioner is ruthless enough to cut them down, there's no way to solve this! That's what I'm most worried about!"

Every time Chen Jiajun thought about how these fraternity guys were able to go this far, he felt exhausted.

His main motivation to continue was that he didn't want to see Hong Kong become a mess because of these parasites, and he didn't want the youth of Hong Kong to be brainwashed.

"Sigh, how far I can go... I'll leave it to fate!" Chen Jiajun shook his head and muttered to himself.

……

On the other hand, after Chen Jiajun's reminder, Guo Shirong did take it to heart.

He quickly found out the truth of the news that a police witness had been killed in a car accident and that key evidence had been stolen through his connections.

So they spent a lot of money to bribe many Hong Kong gangsters to search for the whereabouts of the living witness.

Soon after, good news indeed arrived.

Guo Shirong found his daughter's best friend, who was the key witness.

"Uncle Guo...?" The girl's name was Chen Simin. She had a good relationship with Guo Ziyi, so she naturally knew Guo Shirong.

Chen Simin was a smart man; he knew who was behind it after Guo Ziyi's death.

Then she saw that Li Yifeng, who had been having an affair with Guo Ziyi, had been sent to prison, and she immediately felt that her chance had come.

She possessed crucial evidence proving that Zeng Zhiwei had entered Guo Ziyi's room that night.

There is not only evidence, but also recordings.

She kept these things in her possession because she originally intended to extort a large sum of money from Zeng Zhiwei, hoping to exchange them for five million.

But to his surprise, Zeng Zhiwei didn't try to silence her with money; instead, he planned to kill her.

Left with no other choice, she had to seek protection from the police.

Unfortunately, she did not expect Zeng Zhiwei to be so ruthless as to dare to attack the police.

Fortunately, she escaped unscathed and has been hiding for the past few days, fearing that Zeng Zhiwei's men will find her.

But to her surprise, Guo Shirong found her first.

Guo Shirong asked with a grim expression, "What exactly happened that night? What do you have in your possession?"

In the past, Chen Simin might have asked for money, but now she doesn't dare.

She cautiously said to Guo Shirong, "Uncle Guo, I do have some evidence, but I will only hand it over if you guarantee my safety. Someone is chasing me!"

"Who is it?" Guo Shirong asked.

Chen Simin shook her head, keeping her mouth shut.

Guo Shirong took a deep breath and said, "As long as you hand over the evidence to me, I can guarantee your safety! You are my daughter's good friend, I won't lie to you!"

Hearing Guo Shirong say this, Chen Simin hesitated for a moment before handing over the evidence in his hand.

Guo Shirong was completely stunned when he saw it.

He never expected that the person who would be the last to appear at Guo Ziyi's house that day would be none other than that bastard Zeng Zhiwei.

This guy went to see his daughter furtively, and tried his best to cover it up.

They even sent people to hunt down Chen Simin.

All these events tell Guo Shirong that his daughter, Guo Ziyi, was murdered by Zeng Zhiwei.

Because the Zeng family is powerful enough, they are trying to erase anything related to Zeng Zhiwei!
They wanted to keep this a secret forever!
Li Yifeng, who was arrested, was the innocent one; he was made a scapegoat for Zeng Zhiwei!
"damn it!"

Thinking of this, Guo Shirong felt as if a fire was burning in his chest.

He now wishes he could tear the Zeng father and son to pieces to vent his anger.

This bastard killed his own daughter and then put on a hypocritical act in front of me!
After settling Chen Simin in, Guo Shirong called Zeng Guoshan that same day and asked him to meet him the next day.

……

The next day, on Guo Shirong's yacht.

Zeng Guoshan felt a little uneasy when Guo Shirong suddenly invited him out.

Seeing Guo Shirong standing at the bow of the ship, he took the initiative to extend a friendly gesture by handing him a glass of whiskey.

After taking it, Guo Shirong looked into the distance and said, "Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, Admiralty, Wan Chai, the whole of Hong Kong is only this big, you can see it all at a glance! The number of rich and powerful people can be counted on one hand! There are two here!"

Zeng Guoshan laughed upon hearing Guo Shirong's words.

Guo Shirong continued, "In 1984, our Guo Group went public. Back then, you legislators were arguing with those foreign devils in the Legislative Council every day!"

“I remember you said, ‘Ah Guo, the world will change. When that time comes, as long as you cooperate with us, we will make all the decisions.’ But now, it seems like you are the only one in charge!”

Politicians like Zeng Guoshan have no idea what embarrassment is.

He chuckled and flattered, "People come and go, I'm past my prime! Who can compare to you?"

"Is that so?" Guo Shirong sneered, finished his drink, and sat down.

He was all smiles just a moment ago, but now his face is clouded with gloom.

Zeng Guoshan stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Ziyi's matter will soon be over, but we still have to survive. Next month, after the Zhiwei election is over, let's go back to our hometown together to do some research, relax, and then..."

Before Zeng Guoshan could finish speaking, Guo Shirong slammed a document on the table and said viciously, "I finally know who the murderer is!"

Zeng Guoshan was shocked when he saw the documents in front of him.

He never expected that Guo Shirong would find out about this.

Zeng Guoshan tried to salvage the situation, quickly saying, "Even if it's my fault, as a father..."

"You bastard killed my daughter!" Guo Shirong stood up, pointed at Zeng Guoshan, and roared, "The vacuum cleaner is full of his DNA!"

“In this election, Zhiwei will definitely be elected. The next natural successor will be the chairman of the Aimin Association, and his team will take over!” Facing the enraged Guo Shirong, Zeng Guoshan still tried to use the issue of self-interest: “Give him a way out, and you'll give yourself a way out!”

Guo Shirong was even more furious: "He used my money to get elected, and your entire organization uses my money! He killed my daughter, and you expect me to carry his sedan chair? Do you and your father think I'm a fool?"

"Have you forgotten that nobody supports you? Every time you buy land, a subway line is built next to it. Every time you launch a new housing development, the government suspends the construction of low-rent housing! Without the support of our Aimin Association, your ship would have sunk long ago, Guo Shirong!" Zeng Guoshan added excitedly.

After a moment, Zeng Guoshan softened his tone and said, "Now we are carrying the burden of not only Ziyi and Zhiwei, but also the burden of many others! If we die, the economy will collapse! Mr. Guo!"

Guo Shirong was clearly prepared: "Today, all I'm carrying is my daughter. I'm old, and I'll only realize this after she's gone: when you die, you can't take anything with you! Nothing here matters anymore! I called you up here because I was prepared for the ship to sink!"

"You think I'm just planning to take you down? Not only that, I'm going to take down your entire organization! Whether you choose your son or the organization isn't up to me, it's up to you!" (End of Chapter)
