Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 227 Guo Kailin: Was my return a bit redundant?
The directors and shareholders of the Kwok Group may not understand the significance of the three major companies withdrawing from Kwun Tong.

However, as the heir of the Wo Yee Hai, Ge Baishi knew perfectly well that the claims that Hung Hing, Tung Sing, and Chung Ching Society were responding to the Governor's call to build up Hong Kong Island and that large-scale war would not break out in the short term were all nonsense.

The Governor of Hong Kong has shouted this slogan countless times: Hong Kong Island should still be attacked.

This shows that Chen Shixian, without anyone noticing, single-handedly suppressed three major gangs and took over Kwun Tong.

"how did you do that?"

At this moment, only one question lingered in Ge Baishi's mind, but he had no way of answering it.

This result means that everyone has become a pawn on Chen Shixian's chessboard.

Whether it's Leung Kwan, Crow, or Ting Hau-hai.

He had everyone completely under his thumb.

Chen Shixian's ultimate goal was for this day!

That's terrifying!

Although Ge Baishi was a playboy, he wasn't the kind of ignorant and brainless rich kid.

After all, having been exposed to these things since childhood, one can think of things from this perspective.

His gaze toward Chen Shixian began to turn fearful, as if he were looking into a bottomless lake.

My palms started sweating involuntarily, and my back felt cold.

While Ge Baishi was in a daze, Ma Wenfeng, with a stern face, stomped hard on his foot with her high heels.

Despite the pain, Ge Baishi, still in a daze, quickly recovered and put on airs, saying with a pretentious smile, "Guantang is nothing to Yihai, just a drop in the ocean."

“Over the years, Yi Hai and I have long since turned to legitimate businesses. The problem of our bloated and unmanageable triad has now been resolved. Thank you very much.”

“Now, our construction company is quite large, and we are fully capable of undertaking the construction work on Baishi Island.”

"The young lady chose to cooperate with us not because of our status in the underworld, but because of our true strength."

"Fighting and killing are the lowest level of violence. You can't expect a few thugs to do the security work, right?"

Ma Wenfeng was satisfied with Ge Baishi's answer. She raised her head and chuckled, "Although opening a casino on Baishi Island requires some connections in the underworld."

"But we can't just have connections in the underworld."

"We must prioritize ethical conduct; otherwise, our group will come across as a criminal organization, and the business community will laugh at us for narrowing our path."

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Shixian and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm not saying that you guys are bad people, I don't mean anything by this, please don't take it to heart."

These words were directed at Chen Shixian.

They laughed at him for having no real business, only illegal activities, and being a low-level criminal.

"Slap, slap, slap, slap!"

Chen Shixian didn't take it to heart and continued clapping his hands.

He smiled and said, "Miss Ma, you're right. The Guo family is such a large group, we certainly can't afford to narrow our path."

"However, I'd like to ask, what standard defines what constitutes proper conduct?"

"Only then are they qualified to cooperate with the Guo Group?"

Ma Wenfeng was unsure of Chen Shixian's intention in asking the question. After thinking for a moment, she slowly said, "Of course, you need to have a legitimate company and be in a legitimate industry. Is there any need to ask?"

"Otherwise, what if too much illegal activity drags the Guo Group down with it?"

After listening, Chen Shixian smiled slightly: "Miss Ma, is the White Stone Island project considered legitimate?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Wenfeng's face darkened slightly, and she was momentarily speechless, inwardly annoyed that she had unknowingly fallen into a ditch.

Ma's representative, Zhang Zhenhong, quickly chimed in, "Mr. Chen, please understand, this is a meeting, not a debate. Don't bring up irrelevant topics."

"Who is this?"

There were clearly name tags on the table, but Chen Shixian looked at Zhang Zhenhong and asked a question he already knew the answer to.

Does that mean, which side are you on?

Zhang Zhenhong said impatiently and assertively, "I am a director and shareholder representative of the Guo Group. What advice do you have?"

"There is no instruction."

"Ms. Ma said that the partners must do legitimate business, because there are too many black market activities, which will drag the Guo Group down with them."

"For the sake of the group's future and to maintain smooth cooperation, we need to discuss this issue. If it is considered unimportant, then disregard what I said."

Use their spear to pierce their shield.

Chen Shixian quickly deflected the question with a few words.

If Zhang Zhenhong disagrees with continuing this topic, it would be tantamount to disagreeing with Ma Wenfeng's point of view.

They don't take the group's future seriously.

“Chairman Zhang, I think Mr. Chen is right. This is related to the future of the project and the group, and we can’t treat it lightly.”

The Guo family representative, a well-mannered director with a long neck and gold-rimmed glasses, Guan Baicheng, chimed in.

Zhang Zhenhong was rebuffed and left with no recourse.

Ma Wenfeng had no choice but to reply, "Baishi Island is located on an island, it's a private island, so it can only be considered a gray industry. This level of operation is considered legitimate."

"What about rice noodles?"

Chen Shixian continued to press for answers.

"Selling cigarettes is illegal and certainly not a legitimate business; even a three-year-old knows that."

"Chen Shixian, just say what you want to say."

Ma Wenfeng's patience had run out. Chen Shixian had ruined her prepared speech. Although she tried her best to control her emotions, her eyes had become gloomy.

"So, if Yi Hai, a gang involved in organized crime and illegal activities, collaborates with the Guo family, aren't they afraid of being dragged down with them?"

"Wasn't what Miss Ma just said just nonsense?"

As Chen Shixian finished speaking, Ma Wenfeng's face flushed red instantly, and her heart felt like it was about to explode.

Ge Baishi, having been publicly accused of losing fans, naturally refused to admit it and loudly retorted, "Chen Shixian, do you even know what you're saying?"

"Of course I know what I'm talking about."

"You two are involved in a drug trafficking business with Yi Hai, and you've built such a large operation that we can't talk about it?"

Chen Shixian glanced at Ge Baishi, his tone flat but his words were sharp and to the point.

"Old Mother Diulei, what do you mean by constantly slandering us and Yihai, and targeting me?"

Ge Baishi's face had turned very ugly. He stared intently at Chen Shixian, no longer caring about his image, and started cursing.

"Young Master, don't worry."

After Chen Shixian finished speaking, he raised his wristwatch, glanced at the time, and continued, "Soon, everyone will know what I mean."

"Stop playing tricks on me. This is the Guo Group, not your Quanxing headquarters. Don't take yourself too seriously!"

Ge Baishi shouted angrily.

"Boom boom boom!"

The next second, there was a knock on the conference room door.

"Sorry, board members, a few police officers have arrived."

Aping pushed open the door and stepped aside to make room for him.

Behind them, a very fat, honest-looking policeman with thick eyebrows, small eyes, a big nose, and thin lips walked in with a large belly.

He is Huang Tai, the superior of Ma Jun and Hua Sheng.

Behind him followed Watson, who was dressed in a police uniform.

In an instant, all the chairmen shrank back, and there was complete silence.

Some were so nervous that they picked up the water glasses on the table and poured water down their throats, while others bury their heads in the sand like ostriches, remaining motionless. Some sized up the police officers, fearing that they were coming for them.

Few of the board members had clean hands, and they all felt a little guilty when these police officers suddenly arrived.

Huang Tai led a group of constables straight up to Ge Baishi and showed him his identification.

“I am Wong Tai, Superintendent of the Central and Western District Police. You and Yi Hai are suspected of organizing triad activities and participating in drug trafficking and other illegal activities. You are hereby arrested immediately.”

"You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law!"

After Huang Tai finished speaking to Ge Baishi in a serious tone, two constables stepped forward, one on each side, and pressed down on his shoulders, preparing to handcuff him.

"Wow!"

The detention of Ge Baishi instantly turned the previously silent conference room into an uproar.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Chen Shixian, feeling incredulous and full of surprise.

It all seemed as if it were all under the other party's control, as if it had been anticipated.

Now everyone knows what Chen Shixian meant just now.

A chill ran down my spine.

When Ge Baishi saw Hua Sheng in his police uniform, he roughly understood what was going on.

His face turned green instantly.

He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Traitor! You double-dealer!"

His face was sinister, and he struggled to shout loudly:

"Officer Wong, we're in a meeting about a multi-billion dollar project. You can't take me away without solid evidence, or you'll be held responsible!"

“Ge Baishi, the fact that we are standing here now means that our police have obtained conclusive evidence and that relevant suspects have surrendered themselves and become witnesses for the prosecution. We wouldn’t be here to arrest you if the evidence wasn’t solid!”

"Your father resisted arrest and assaulted a police officer; he's already dead. You'd better cooperate and not follow in his footsteps!" "You and Yi Hai's days are numbered!"

Huang Taiyi spoke righteously and forcefully, shouting his rebuke.

"What? My dad's gone!"

In an instant, Ge Baishi seemed to have all his strength drained away. He was completely numb, his face ashen, and he turned to look at Chen Shixian in disbelief.

Drive the tiger away to devour the wolf, take over Kwun Tong, kill the three Tony brothers, destroy the core of Wo Yee Hoi, and then let the police end it all.

What a clever scheme!
In an instant, he realized what was happening, his eyes bulging as he roared at Chen Shixian, "It was you! It was all your doing! You used underhanded tricks to ruin us and Yihai! You're despicable, shameless, you're not human!"

"Tsk tsk, listen to what you're saying, it's so awful."

"Those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish. If you and Yi Hai do not break the law, who can pin the blame on you?"

Chen Shixian laughed arrogantly, looking at the disheveled Ge Baishi, neither admitting nor denying.

He crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and spoke calmly yet forcefully, staring into the other person's eyes: "Brother Crown Prince, I've said it before, I don't care what you call me or how you insult me. I'll make you understand why others call me Yama Xian!"

"Now you know!"

At this moment, Ge Baishi lost all strength and ability, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his teeth were almost ground to powder.

He started cursing without any regard for his image: "You motherfucker, you bastard, Chen Shixian, you'll die a horrible death!"

"Snapped!"

A loud slap rang out.

Seeing her trusted backer suddenly collapse and ruin her plans, Ma Wenfeng was furious. She went berserk on the spot and slapped Ge Baishi hard across the face: "Ge Baishi, you're a real piece of trash!"

"Shut up, you dog!"

"Isn't it embarrassing enough already!"

Ge Baishi was also furious, struggling and cursing, "You filthy bitch, you're just a slut, a promiscuous whore, a dead hag, thinking you're so noble?"

"If it weren't for the White Stone Island project, do you think I'd even give you a second thought!"

"spit!"

The two exchanged insults, making it a true spectacle of the year.

Huang Tai and the police, like bystanders watching a melon, slowed down the pace, deliberately giving them time to perform.

Chen Shixian watched with amusement as the two bickered like dogs, turning the conference into a farce and a theatrical performance.

Guo Shichang also gave Chen Shixian the utmost leeway, looking at him with the gentle gaze of a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, and nodding in satisfaction.

"Da da da!"

Just then, the rhythmic sound of high heels came from outside the open conference room door, followed by a beautiful figure.

Everyone's eyes were attracted.

Wearing a dark green suit paired with a shimmering champagne-colored silk skirt and an emerald necklace, she exudes a sophisticated yet feminine charm.

Especially her face, so exquisite and elegant, it was the epitome of beauty, and it was none other than Guo Kailin who had just returned.

She watched the scene, suppressing a laugh, and walked straight to Chen Shixian's side, where she sat down.

He whispered in Chen Shixian's ear: "You're something else. I asked you to help me hold things together, and you've completely ruined it."

"You alone can withstand an army of thousands. It seems I've come out of my way."

“Hey, that’s not how it works. You’re the head of the Guo family, so you have to be the grand finale and wrap things up.”

Chen Shixian gently put his arm around Guo Kailin's waist, then let go, and said with a smile.

To outsiders, the two appeared very affectionate, as if they were flirting.

At this moment, Ge Baishi had already been pulled out of the house by Huang Tai, Hua Sheng, and others.

"Chen Shixian, you wait, I will never let you get away with this!"

Before leaving, Ge Baishi stared at Chen Shixian with wide eyes, roaring wildly in his heart.

The conference room door was closed again.

The directors and shareholders present were stunned by the spectacular events that unfolded at today's meeting.

Ma Wenfeng's face was gloomy. After taking a few deep breaths, she finally suppressed her irritable temper.

His gaze swept over the seemingly harmonious and loving Guo Kailin and Chen Shixian, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

"Damn you! You're so late, and the first thing you do when you get back is show off your love. You're so shameless!"

Ma Wenfeng cursed under her breath.

Despite her outbursts, she remained clear-headed. This conference was not in her best interest and could not continue.

So she straightened her expression and looked at everyone, saying, "Everyone, there was a little incident just now."

"This has disrupted the rhythm of the entire conference. I suggest that the meeting regarding the Baishidao project be postponed."

Guo Kailin stared straight at her with her beautiful eyes, and said with a forced smile, "Sister, this is a board meeting, do you think it's a game or a child's play?"

"Our time is very precious. Do you think we have as much free time as you do?"

"You requested the meeting be held earlier, and now you want it postponed. Guo, you've got nothing but your one-man rule!"

Guo's supporters, including Guan Baicheng, also joined in the commotion, disagreeing with the postponement.

Those who support Ma argued their case based on reason.

The two sides started arguing, each saying their own opinion.

Seeing this, Guo Shichang tapped the table, and everyone fell silent, turning their gazes to him.

"Distinguished directors, now that everyone is present, let's continue the meeting."

Guo Shichang made the decision directly: "Wen Feng, with He Yihai's downfall and Ge Baishi's arrest, do you have any other compelling reasons to get the board of directors to hand over the Baishi Island project to you?"

“Dad, now that Karina is back, why don’t we hear her reasons first?”

Ma Wenfeng's mind raced as she considered countermeasures. She knew she had learned her lesson and didn't want to reveal her hand too soon, lest things change.

I'm thinking of dealing with things as they come.

Seeing Ma Wenfeng's response, Guo Kailin didn't refuse. She stood up, smiled slightly at everyone, and confidently said:

"Distinguished directors, you all know the contributions I have made to the group over the years, so I won't boast about them."

Guo Kailin is a highly educated returnee from overseas. She has been groomed by her father as his successor since childhood. Her professional skills are far superior to Ma Wenfeng's, a fact that everyone understands.

Seeing the approving looks from the directors, Guo Kailin continued, "Let me introduce you to Mr. Chen Shixian, who is sitting next to me."

"I'm sure the directors here have already gotten a basic understanding of him."

"He is the owner of Umbrella Security Company, Xingye Property Management, the owner of Quanxing Group, and the CEO of Didi Express..."

As Guo Kailin spoke, Ma Wenfeng said with a disdainful look, "What's the use of talking about a bunch of titles? What use are they to the development of the Baishi Island project?"

Guo Kailin ignored Ma Wenfeng's interruption and continued, "Of course!"

"I don't need to say more about the security capabilities of Umbrella Security Company. The Fugui Maru was able to dock safely thanks to Mr. Chen's excellent security work."

"Not to mention, Umbrella Corporation really shone at the Cointreau Hotel before."

"You can rest assured about the security of Baishi Island."

Guo Kailin's words prompted many directors to nod slightly and cast approving glances at Chen Shixian.

Casino security is very important.

If the security is handled by a professional security company, gamblers can feel more at ease going to the island to gamble.

Seeing that many directors were already wavering, Ma Wenfeng remembered something and quickly said, "Although guards are important, they are not the most important thing. The most important thing in running a casino is to have gambling experts in charge."

"As everyone knows, I have five hands and ten thousand, and fifteen experts in my casino."

"I'll be in charge of the White Stone Island project. With these experts helping us, absolutely no one will dare to invade."

As soon as Ma Wenfeng finished speaking, the neutral directors' eyes flickered, and they felt that choosing Ma Wenfeng was a safer option.

After all, security guards can be partnered with other security companies; they are not a scarce resource.

For casinos, this gambling expert is a rare and valuable resource.

The biggest fear when running a casino is someone coming in to cheat, so you must have a skilled person watching over it; otherwise, the casino will definitely not be able to stay in business.

This is very important.

Guo Kailin sensed something was wrong when she saw the reactions of these neutral directors. Her expression changed slightly, and she looked at Chen Shixian for help.

"Miss Ma, no matter how skilled you are at five-hand 10-thousand betting, can you surpass the King of Gamblers Qian Wendi or the Little God of Gamblers Gao Da?"

Chen Shixian gently squeezed Guo Kailin's fingertips under the table, signaling her to relax and not rush, and asked with a smile.

"Although the Five Hands and Ten Heroes cannot compare to these two great masters, they are not bad either. They are more than enough to guard White Stone Island."

"Could it be that you can invite these two extraordinary figures to oversee the event?"

Ma Wenfeng disagreed, her face showing disdain.

Just kidding, Qian Wendi, the "King of Gamblers," likes to wander around aimlessly.

Little Gambler Gao Da is a prodigal son.

Both of them were like duckweed, drifting everywhere, their whereabouts uncertain.

I've never heard of any place that can keep them.

Chen Shixian smiled and looked at Qian Wendi and Gao Da beside him: "Come on, Wendi, Gao Da, greet Miss Ma and the directors!"
