In Hong Kong, we build a global business empire

For his own safety, Lin Haoran naturally took it very seriously.

Therefore, Cui Zilong was contacted that day and asked to be responsible for forming the secret guards.

Most importantly, we invite the world's top international security experts to provide training.

Although the elites of Global Security Consulting Company have undergone rigorous training, they still need to add some specific courses when forming a secret guard, such as identity concealment skills, anti-tracking and anti-eavesdropping, which are exactly what are not covered in the current training system of Global Security Consulting Company.

As for other fighting, firearms and the like, these elites are basically already very good.

Therefore, it does not take too much time to form this secret guard team.

According to Li Weidong and Cui Zilong's estimation, this secret guard team will be able to officially provide security protection for Lin Haoran within half a month at the earliest.

After finishing his conversation with Lin Haoran, Cui Zilong acted quickly. On the one hand, he set out to look for international security experts, and on the other hand, he immediately set off for Manila to select suitable candidates for secret guards.

Although there are also many outstanding talents in the Global Security Consulting Company in Hong Kong, in comparison, the complex environment of Manila with rampant guns may be more suitable for screening out the required elites.

Moreover, the Manila training base has now become the largest and best training base of Global Safety Consultants.

The time bomb under the Rolls-Royce was successfully dismantled by bomb disposal experts sent by the police. To ensure that there was no risk of error, the vehicle also underwent a comprehensive inspection. Only after confirming that it was safe did Lin Haoran feel at ease to ride it back home.

In view of this incident, in order to ensure his personal safety before the secret guard team is formed, Lin Haoran has decided to reduce going out to avoid giving potential enemies any opportunity to take advantage.

At the same time, security protection around the villa has also been strengthened, and the Global Security Consulting Company directly dispatched more than a dozen elite bodyguards to guard it.

The police department also promised to increase patrols on Sze Hoon Road.

Under such high-intensity protection, Lin Haoran would naturally not have any problems.

At around seven o'clock in the evening, in the study on the first floor of the Shi Xundao Villa, Lin Haoran was talking on the phone with Burton.

As Burton had expected, relying on the police to uncover the truth was almost impossible.

The other party was obviously well prepared and did not leave any valuable clues or evidence.

The police department only said that they would try their best to investigate, but there is no way of knowing when the results will be available.

At the same time, the intelligence department headed by Cui Zilong has also taken quick action.

However, because the incident was too secretive, even the intelligence agencies found it difficult to collect useful intelligence.

After all, this is not an era where surveillance is ubiquitous, and once a vehicle drives into the wilderness, tracking it becomes extremely difficult.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Haoran sat quietly in the chair, lost in thought.

He thought one by one about the people who might want his life.

Henry Keswick? Bob Fuda? Or Artair, the squid capital behind DHL Group?

He even thought of his elder brother Lin Hao Ning.

Why did you think of Lin Hao Ning?

Because if Lin Haoran encounters misfortune, his assets will undoubtedly be inherited by his parents.

The parents only have two sons. If Lin Haoran is not around, Lin Haoning will naturally be the only one to inherit the property in the future.

Of course, this possibility still seems very small to him.

He knew Lin Hao Ning's character very well and it was unlikely that he would do such a thing.

But one must always be on guard against others. Although he tended to think that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Hao Ning, after experiencing this incident, he clearly realized that except for those subordinates and parents whose loyalty he could confirm, no one else could be trusted 100%.

After all, life is gone once it’s gone, so he didn’t dare to take the chance.

Just because you had the opportunity to travel through time after you died in your previous life doesn’t mean you can continue to travel through time after you die in this life.

As I was thinking, the phone rang.

Lin Haoran picked up the receiver and answered the call.

Two minutes later, Lin Haoran hung up the phone.

The call was from Guo Henian, who said he wanted to bring Guo Xiaohan to visit him. Lin Haoran naturally welcomed this, although he was not sure what the purpose of the other party's visit was.

Ten minutes later, a car horn was heard outside.

Lin Haoran walked out of the villa gate and saw Guo Henian’s private car parked at the door.

"Uncle Guo, welcome!" Lin Haoran walked up with a smile and shook hands warmly with Guo Henian who had just got off the car.

"Haoran, let's go inside and talk." Guo Henian said, pointing inside the villa.

Lin Haoran nodded in agreement.

At this time, Guo Xiaohan also got out from the other door. She looked at Lin Haoran carefully, her face full of concern.

Seeing this, Lin Haoran gave her a warm smile.

"Uncle Guo, have you had dinner?" Lin Haoran asked with concern.

"We have eaten. We just came back from Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. Xiaohan insisted on coming to see you right away, so I brought her here directly. We haven't even returned home yet." Guo Henian replied with a smile.

Guo Xiaohan, who was standing by, blushed immediately but did not refute anything, which was regarded as tacitly acknowledging his concern for Lin Haoran.

After hearing what Guo Henian said, Lin Haoran understood that the other party should have known that a time bomb had been installed in his car in the afternoon.

After all, Hong Kong is so small, and although Lin Haoran has no intention of publicizing this matter, it is not difficult for these bigwigs to know about it.

In fact, he had already received several calls in the afternoon, including from Bao Yugang, Li Jiacheng and others who expressed their concern for him.

After all, when one reaches a certain level of power, they basically have their own sources of intelligence, so this kind of thing would naturally be easily known to them.

The three of them walked into the study on the first floor, and soon Guo Xiaohan took the initiative to take on the task of making tea.

At the same time, Guo Henian and Lin Haoran also started talking.

"I've heard about what happened to you this afternoon. To be honest, I've experienced similar twists and turns in Nanyang. With our status, it's inevitable to have competitors.

We can’t stop others from trying to kill us, but what we can do is to improve our own safety protection capabilities. This experience should also be a wake-up call for you.” Guo Henian said with emotion.

Lin Haoran nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Guo is right. This incident has indeed made me realize my shortcomings in safety protection. I have already started to strengthen my work in this area."

Hearing this, Guo Henian nodded approvingly and said, "Very good. You were able to take action so quickly, which shows that you are a decisive person. However, I still want to remind you that security protection work cannot be completed overnight. It requires continuous effort and investment. Moreover, as your status and influence increase, the threats you face will also become greater, so you cannot relax at all."

Lin Haoran agreed with him and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Guo. I will always keep it in mind. By the way, Uncle Guo, you brought Xiaohan here this time. Besides this matter, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"In addition to Xiaohan wanting to see you, there is another thing, which is also related to my trip to Tsim Sha Tsui this afternoon. You should know something about Mr. Chen Songqing of the Jianing Group. He hopes to work with me to promote a major project, so I went there specially for an investigation." Guo Henian replied.

"Tsim Sha Tsui? Carrian Group? The project you are talking about is probably the Tsim Sha Tsui East Commercial Plaza project that Carrian Group is planning? The one with a total investment of HK$30 billion?"

Based on the information provided by Guo Henian, Lin Haoran quickly realized that after he took over the Jardine Matheson Group, he directly terminated the cooperation with the Carrian Group.

“Yes, it is this project. I went to Tsim Sha Tsui this afternoon just for this project. After the inspection, I found that this project has great potential and is likely to become another Landmark in the future. I am very optimistic about it.

However, as far as I know, this project was supposed to be a collaboration between the Jianing Group and the Hong Kong Land Group you just acquired, right? Why did you give up such a high-quality project after you took over Hong Kong Land? "Guo Henian raised his doubts.

Only then did Lin Haoran understand the real purpose of Guo Henian's visit.

"Uncle Guo, how much do you know about Mr. Chen Songqing?" Lin Haoran asked with a smile.

"I don't know him very well. I only know that he was born in Southeast Asia, and later went bankrupt there, so he came to Hong Kong. Here, he quickly rose to prominence, and now he is one of the top richest people in Hong Kong, and he plays an important role in the real estate industry." Guo Henian answered truthfully.

"After taking over the Jardine Matheson Group, I conducted some investigations on Mr. Chen Songqing and found that the source of his funds was quite suspicious. Uncle Guo, have you ever thought about why Jianing Company was just an ordinary pesticide company three years ago and has become a top real estate company in Hong Kong in just two or three years? Where did his funds come from?" Lin Haoran asked with a smile.

"Where are you from? Do you have any clues?" Guo Henian was immediately curious.

Indeed, the source of Chen Songqing's funds has always been an unsolved mystery.

"According to the information I have investigated, most of Mr. Chen Songqing's funds come from loans, and they are usurious loans. He often uses new loans to repay old loans. The financial institutions involved include Yumin Finance Company, Bank of Communications, etc., rather than the rumored background of Mr. Chen Songqing. Of course, this is just my guess based on the information I have investigated, and it cannot be guaranteed to be completely accurate.

Uncle Guo, if you believe it, it is best not to cooperate with Mr. Chen Songqing. However, the final decision is of course made by you. I am just providing a reference.

Also, Uncle Guo, Xiaohan, this matter involves a billionaire worth billions of Hong Kong dollars, so please keep my speculations confidential and don't mention them to anyone. Even if you tell others, I will deny that I have ever said these words!" Lin Haoran said jokingly with a smile. (End of this chapter)
