What do you mean by quitting the business? I'm not a big shot.

Chapter 592 Stop, Yin Sheng
Yuddy, having received the message from the police force, stared at the military security captain in front of him and said sternly, "I request that more personnel be sent to control Victoria Peak."

"Only specially approved personnel and licensed vehicles are allowed to go up the mountain!"

The military officer stood at attention and saluted, his face solemn: "Yes, sir."

The assassination of the HSBC CEO not only terrified the foreign businessmen, but also made Youde's legs go weak.

Sir Michael Sandberg's villa on the hillside was less than a kilometer from the Governor's Palace. If the Chinese had the ability to kill the HSBC chairman, they had the ability to kill Governor Edward Youde.

Originally, to appear approachable, the hilltop park was always open to the public, with only the path leading to the Governor's House under military control. Now, he can no longer care about maintaining his image, and how long the control will last is unknown; it's possible it could slowly turn into long-term military rule.

Inside the mansion, uniformed officers from the Taipingshan Police Station had cordoned off the scene. Ding Tianyou, the head of the Major Crimes Unit in charge of the investigation, looked at the confessions and physical evidence, his face growing increasingly grim.

Ren Darong rushed to the deputy director's office, handed over a field report, and said in a serious tone: "Sir, Lao Zhong's men have made their move."

Yu Shaoze sat in his chair, calmly flipping through the report. When he saw the deceased's name, his pupils constricted sharply: "The chairman of HSBC?"

Ren Darong said, "In the gunfight at the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, the foreigner who led the team was identified as the security director of HSBC after his identity was verified."

"They still made a move."

Yu Shaoze sighed, not particularly surprised.

But as he flipped through the pages, a surge of anger appeared on his face, distorting his features and making him look ferocious.

"Ah!"

After finishing reading the six-page report, he couldn't sit still any longer. He slammed his fist on the table and roared, "That guy surnamed Yin is destroying the reputation of the police force!"

Ren Darong hung his head, not daring to utter a sound, his heart churning with turmoil.

This time, "Shenxian Tang" didn't use Lao Zhong's name to kill. Instead, he had a gunman impersonate a police officer, carry a forged arrest warrant, and brazenly enter a house and shoot the suspect with Yu Sir's former service weapon.

They completely shifted the blame onto the police force. Whether Yu Dexin believes it or not, he will always have to be wary of the police.

Yu Shaoze will lose his value as a middleman, maneuvering and climbing the ranks. It's less about destroying the police force and more about destroying Yu Shaoze's future.

But after venting his anger, Inspector Yu quickly regained his composure, narrowed his eyes, and slowly asked, "Investigate who gave my service weapon to Lao Zhong, whose hands it passed through, and who it is related to."

"The police force is a force that serves the rule of law. It is not anyone's private army, much less a D-body guard or a security company."

"Pour a bucket of water down there and wake up those guys who can't figure things out."

Ren Darong was terrified. He stood at attention, saluted, and loudly replied, "Yes, sir!"

The police force would never do anything for triads, but after joining the Chee Kung Hui, one might be able to do things for their superiors within the organization.

Whether for public or private reasons, some people want to stand out.

I thought the independence of the police branch would eliminate the influence of Shen Xiantang on the police force, but now it seems that the D office is truly a trump card.

Shen Xiantang has learned a lot from the mainland; no wonder he dared to disrespect him at the hotel. To clean up the mess, we need to find the traitor first.

As for the governor, Yu Shaoze could only try his best to salvage the situation. If he couldn't dispel the foreigners' suspicions, his political career would be over. Inside the Zhongyi Building, Zuo Shou saw his boss finish reading the news, a smile spreading across his face. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, opened the refrigerator, and took out a can of cola: "This trick of shifting blame wasn't bad, was it, boss!"

"Sharp".

Yin Zhaotang took the Coke, crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and said, "You do the things that Inspector Yu doesn't dare to do."

"Whether he did it or not is not important. What's important is that he did it! Left Hand, you've learned a lot from Director Wu."

He took a sip of cola with his left hand and laughed, "My father-in-law only knows how to attract investment; he doesn't know anything about this. He learned it from the big shots."

"It's great that they're willing to watch and learn, no matter who taught them. With you in the group, I have much less to do," Yin Zhaotang nodded.

The man on the left said, "The next position is... the chairman of CLP?"

If the foreigners dared to shoot at a dozen or so underworld bosses, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for Yin Zhaotang to take out a dozen or so chairmen of foreign firms, would it? Although there are many underworld bosses, there are only a dozen or so chairmen of foreign firms. However, the lives of foreigners are not worth more than those of Chinese! If the system were to eliminate the chairman of CLP Group, it would inevitably cause CLP's stock to plummet, just like HSBC's "red" performance today.

However, the funds for the acquisition of CLP haven't been raised yet. Driving down CLP's stock price could easily benefit someone else. He shook his head slightly: "The HSBC chairman's life is enough to keep things in check. Let the CLP chairman wait a while, and proceed according to the company's development pace."

"The foreigners broke the balance first, so I can make my move whenever I want."

Left Hand understood the boss's intention and nodded: "Received."

Acquiring someone and then eliminating them—this is no longer the way ordinary business warfare works; it's high-level business warfare! The chairmen of those foreign firms either had to flee or make peace with Chinese capital.

During the 1987 stock market crash, Chinese capital won big. Ordinary investors profited from the stock market rebound, while large institutional investors benefited from the overall market rise. Chinese capital rose to prominence and shared in the profits.

The real big bosses, on the other hand, make money by acquiring British-owned businesses and seizing their operations.

By siphoning off the profits siphoned off by the foreign firms and recouping some of the interest, every citizen in Hong Kong, from the highest to the lowest, would benefit. Riding on the prestige gained from the market rescue, Yin Zhaotang was at the height of his power in Hong Kong's capital markets. However, not everyone was happy. For the financial giants who had already moved overseas and whose capital was now larger than British-owned companies, Yin Zhaotang's retaliatory actions would severely damage their interests.

For example, Li Jiacheng, Zheng Yutong, Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji, and others.

They wanted British capital to remain in Hong Kong, continuously expanding its trade volume, rather than scaring it away. Without foreign investment, could Hong Kong's capital market still grow by relying solely on the mainland?
Even those who are optimistic about the mainland market don't expect it to drive Hong Kong's economy in the short term. Allowing British capital to leave is intended to gradually and slowly force British capital out of Hong Kong.

In their eyes, Yin Zhaotang was narrow-minded, prone to resorting to violence, and utterly disregarded the bigger picture. Li Jiacheng, in particular, hated him the most!
He immediately recognized that Shen Xiantang's listing of Pegasus was a ploy to raise funds for a potential acquisition of CLP Power. This move was identical to his strategy when he acquired HK Electric.

After Yin Zhaotang acquires CLP, he will become a direct competitor of CK Asset Holdings.

They didn't start in real estate or ports, but in the energy industry!
The best opportunity to defeat an enemy is when the enemy is weak.

That same month, at the preparatory committee meeting, Li Jiacheng submitted a "Proposal to Safeguard Hong Kong Island's Capital Market," the target of which was self-evident.

With the support of Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, and others, Qi Chen, the head of the preparatory group, had no choice but to keep Yin Zhaotang behind for a small meeting after the meeting to do some ideological work.

"Stop it, Mr. Yin. The biggest role of the preparatory group is to ensure the stability of Hong Kong Island."

"Stability is paramount." Qi Chen put down his teacup.
