HK Composite: Starting from Shenghe Leading

Chapter 563 Victory is certain
A Governor of Hong Kong would actually become a plaintiff?
Officials of this level actually have problems that cannot be solved and need to resort to legal means?
Don't they make the laws?
How could such an outrageous situation occur?

As the saying goes, the government office faces south. Don't come in if you don't have money.

The Governor of Hong Kong has power and Lin Zehao has money. Who will come out on top in this powerful confrontation?

Amid the increasingly intense public opinion, people’s focus is no longer just on the sale of the New Territories Ding rights, but more on how Lin Zehao will respond.

Again, apart from the people of the New Territories, no one really cares whether Dingquan is taken away.

If you have something that I don’t, you will feel jealous.

If no one has it, then we are good brothers.

The court session started soon, and the entrance of the Hong Kong Supreme Court was already crowded with reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

As Hutchison's luxury motorcade slowly drove over, the reporters swarmed over like sharks smelling blood, trying to grab the best interview position.

For journalists, first-hand news means everything!
"Move aside, everyone, move aside, don't crowd!"

A Mai, who was in charge of security, immediately led the security guards to clear the crowd. They had to ensure that a 100% safe route could be isolated so that Brother Hao could pass through unimpeded.

Hundreds of security personnel lined up on both sides, forming a solid corridor of flesh and blood, ensuring that no one could cross even a single step.

Lin Zehao got out of the car and walked slowly into the court gate, surrounded by security personnel.

He was wearing a Tang suit made of pure handmade Guangdong embroidery. Under the sunlight, everyone could clearly see that there seemed to be a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon on his chest, which seemed to be looming in the clouds.

It is worth mentioning that the image of the dragon will be different if you observe it from different angles.

This is the charm of Guangdong embroidery. Although it is not as famous as Suzhou embroidery, it is also one of the four famous embroidery styles in China.

Yue embroidery is the general name of "Guangdong embroidery" and "Chaozhou embroidery", and it has a history of more than one thousand years.

According to Su E's Duyang Miscellaneous Records in the Tang Dynasty, in the first year of Yongzhen in the Tang Dynasty (805 AD), a girl named Lu Mei Niang from Nanhai County (Jinyang City) in Guangdong embroidered seven volumes of the Lotus Sutra on a piece of silk about one foot long. Since then, Guangdong embroidery has become famous all over the world.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Zhang Jiugao, the governor of Lingnan, presented fine embroidery to Yang Guifei and was promoted to the third rank. From then on, his embroidery became unstoppable and gradually became synonymous with high-end luxury.

This black Tang suit is matched with a pair of seemingly ordinary cloth shoes.

This pair of cloth shoes is naturally made entirely by hand using ancient methods, and costs one thousand US dollars per pair.

Of course, with Lin Zehao's identity and status, no one would believe it even if he really was wearing worthless cloth shoes.

When the real person finally appeared, reporters immediately swarmed forward and asked all kinds of questions.

"Mr. Lin, could you please answer the question, what kind of conflict could cause a sitting governor of Hong Kong to bring you to court?"

"Mr. Lin, I heard that your engagement ceremony has been postponed again and again, and you don't even plan to hold it in Hong Kong. Is this news true or false?"

"Mr. Lin, I heard that Miss Guan is pregnant and your first child is about to be born. Can you tell me whether the baby is a boy or a girl?"

"Mr. Lin, some time ago, the Ministry of Culture of Taiwan planned to restart the negotiations on imported films, and sent an invitation to you, the honorary chairman of the Film and Television Association. When will the negotiations start?"

"Mr. Lin, what brand of perfume do you use?"

"........."

Lin Zehao naturally did not speak to these "irrelevant" questions, but just responded with an elegant and appropriate smile.

Even though he didn't say a word, reporters were still pressing their shutter buttons like crazy.

In an instant, it was just like the small town T was in the first position to grab the banana road, with flash bombs all over the sky, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Fortunately, Lin Zehao, who had experience in this, was wearing sunglasses on his face, so he was not bothered by this action.

When Lin Zehao was about to step into the court gate, Wei Yixin walked out.

It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the two of them happened to face each other.

In an instant, their eyes met and the smell of gunpowder immediately filled the air.

The reporters' ingrained instinct made them quickly press the shutter button to faithfully record the scene from every angle.

"Lin Zehao, I told you that I will make you pay the price!"

"Today is the day I fulfill my promise!"

Ever since that slap, Wei Yixin felt a dull pain in his cheek whenever he saw Lin Zehao.

A seemingly ordinary fight has already caused serious impact on his body and mind!
"Oh?"

"What about this one?"

As soon as Lin Zehao finished speaking, he raised his arms and waved them.

Wei Yixin seemed to have returned to that day. He subconsciously took two steps back. His originally confident expression was replaced by a look of fear, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he did not feel the familiar force, he quickly opened his eyes, only to find that Lin Zehao just reached out and put his hair behind his head.

Such a hilarious scene was faithfully recorded by the reporters around.

For a moment, all kinds of sarcastic words entered Wei Yixin's ears.

"Governor of Hong Kong? That's it? Just looking at his appearance, I know he must have been beaten by Mr. Lin before, otherwise how could he have such a conditioned reflex?"

"Seeing him closing his eyes while dodging, I knew he had experience in resisting blows. Maybe he's been beaten up a lot before."

"Beat these foreigners to death! Hong Kong belongs to Hong Kong people, not to these foreigners!"

"How can such a person be the Governor of Hong Kong? I can do that, too."

Such a scene is like a shot of adrenaline, bringing great confidence to everyone!
We are all Hong Kong people, and no one wants to have a bunch of foreigners bullying and shitting everywhere over their heads!
With the signing of the Hong Kong return agreement, patriotism in Hong Kong is gradually awakening.

Now, with Lin Zehao taking the lead, everyone is even more fearless!

"Hmph! Let's go!"

Seeing that he had accidentally lost someone, Wei Yixin immediately turned around and walked away quickly, leaving everyone with only a very embarrassed back.

As Lin Zehao walked in, the door of the court closed.

The reporters could only stand there and sigh in despair as they looked at the closed door.

Although they also wanted to get in and tried various means, it was of no avail in the end.

I heard that this time a strict order was issued from above, not only abolishing the jury system, but even video recording of the scene was not allowed to exist.

In simple terms, no one is allowed to peek into the court proceedings in any form. The Supreme Court, which symbolizes the last legal bottom line in Hong Kong, has undoubtedly attracted the attention of all Hong Kong people, and even the world.

If the formal process was followed, this case would never have been sent to the Supreme Court of Hong Kong. Instead, it would have been handled step by step, starting from the lowest-level magistrates' court.

Hong Kong's legal system is different from that of mainland China. Simply put, there are three different types of courts.

The Magistrates' Courts are the primary criminal trial institutions in Hong Kong and there are seven of them.

The criminal jurisdiction of these courts is very broad, but the maximum sentence is three years and the maximum fine is HK$50 million.

The second is the Hong Kong District Court.

After the handover, local courts were called regional courts.

The District Court has limited criminal and civil jurisdiction and is primarily responsible for handling civil cases involving amounts below HK$30 million.

In criminal cases, judges can sentence people to up to seven years in prison.

Next is the Supreme Court of Hong Kong.

After the handover, the Supreme Court was renamed the High Court and was divided into the Court of First Instance and the Court of Appeal.

The Court of First Instance is the highest court of first instance in Hong Kong and has unlimited jurisdiction except for defense and diplomacy.

The Court of Appeal hears all civil and criminal appeals from the Court of First Instance and the District Court.

Although the return agreement has been signed and the framework of many things has actually been determined and is waiting to be implemented, with less than a day to the return date, this place still belongs to the British ghosts.

Currently, the final judicial authority in Hong Kong belongs to the Judicial Committee of the British Privy Council.

In simple terms, no matter what the outcome of the trial is, the final right of interpretation lies in the hands of others.

This is also the reason why Wei Yixin was so arrogant just now.

The referee, referee, witness, organizer, and co-organizer are all my people. How can you fight me?
As Lin Zehao sat in the defendant's seat, the trial officially began.

"Defendant Lin Zehao, do you confess to the criminal facts raised by the plaintiff?"

The white judge, wearing a wig like an instant noodle on his head and holding a wooden gavel in his hand, asked loudly in broken Cantonese.

In response to this, Lin Zehao didn't even raise his eyelids. The team of lawyers who received sky-high annual salaries would naturally defend him.

The reason why he chose to attend such an occasion was not simply to defend himself, but for other purposes.

"Lin Zehao, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"Don't forget, this is Hong Kong, and I am the Governor of Hong Kong. The British Empire is behind me!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the result in advance. No matter what happens today, you can't leave here."

"What awaits you is disgrace, loss of freedom, and imprisonment!"

Wei Yixin said this with gritted teeth, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge being about to be taken!

"You are too confident. Your mistake is that you are too arrogant and think that Hong Kong is a city that you can completely control!"

"Although you were born and raised in Hong Kong, Hong Kong has never belonged to Hong Kong people, but to the Hong Kong of the British Empire!"

"Lin Zehao, you are just a lucky guy who was born as a gangster. I hope you can face the reality this time."

The judge is confronting Hutchison’s team of lawyers, while Wei Yixin can’t wait to show his winner’s attitude and try to get back all his lost dignity from Lin Zehao!
In his opinion, Lin Zehao had already lost from the moment he stepped into the court!
Anyway, the final judicial authority in Hong Kong belongs to the Judicial Committee of the British Privy Council, so can they make whatever judgment they want?

"Reality?"

Lin Zehao was not flustered at all. He just crossed his legs slowly and lit a cigar gracefully. Before he could take a puff, the security guard in charge of maintaining order in the court quickly walked up and saluted, "Excuse me, sir, smoking is prohibited here."

"If you really want to smoke, please wait until the trial is over. We have a special smoking room..."

Before the security guard finished speaking, Lin Zehao snapped his fingers crisply, and seeing this, A Mai immediately reached his hand into his suit.

This sensitive action immediately made the police officers on the side extremely nervous. One of them even took out his 38 rifle and pointed it at A-Mai. "What are you doing? This is broad daylight. Are you planning to break the law?"

Facing the police officers' scolding, A Mai took his hand out of his suit slowly and explained calmly, "Don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions. Be careful of any accidental discharge."

As he spoke, he slapped a thick stack of silver paper on the table and said, "Isn't there a sign on the wall saying no smoking, and violators will be fined?"

"Here's 100,000 yuan. Should be enough to pay the fine, right?"

"The remaining amount will be donated to welfare organizations by Brother Hao."

Arrogant!

The arrogance cannot be described in words!

Such an arrogant scene made the police officers grit their teeth, but they could do nothing about it.

He could only vent his anger by putting the money in his pocket, as if this would allow him to take revenge on Lin Zehao!
"Lin Zehao! You are about to die, yet you still dare to be so arrogant?"

"Don't you realize the reality now?"

Wei Yixin stood up suddenly and slapped Ama!

"Who do you think you are? How dare you act like a good kid in such an occasion!"

Although he didn't dare to attack Lin Zehao, slapping the other party's right-hand man was also a disguised form of revenge!
A Mai did not dodge, and after being beaten he had no intention of fighting back. He just covered his face and kept his eyes on Lin Zehao.

According to the rules, king fights against king, and general fights against general.

In this situation, Ama is not qualified to make any decisions on behalf of his boss.

Everyone in the courtroom, including the confronting lawyers and the judge, all focused their eyes on Lin Zehao.

The originally noisy environment immediately became silent!

Everyone wants to know what Lin Zehao will do in this situation.

After all, Wei Yixin's move was undoubtedly a slap in his face.

But the other party's identity happens to be the Governor of Hong Kong, nominally the supreme ruler of Hong Kong!
If he fought back, Lin Zehao would be charged with attacking the Governor of Hong Kong.

But if he does nothing, his prestige will inevitably plummet. Who will truly submit to him in the future?
It really fits the saying that you can neither advance nor retreat, it is really contradictory.

Lin Zehao took a deep puff of the Cuban cigar, then put it in his mouth. As the smoke came out, his whole body seemed to be enveloped.
