Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Bang!
A hard object came crashing down, followed by other hard objects.

Lin Wan and the others, who were unable to dodge in time, were still hit.

In broad daylight, in front of the police, at the entrance of the emergency room, those family members actually dared to be violent towards Zhao Ping'an.

Judging from their ferocious, man-eating appearance, they must be this arrogant and domineering in their daily lives.

Zhao Ping'an protected his mother, but Zhao Yuechan, Zhao Huijun, and the other sisters were hit by the falling object.

In particular, Zhao Huijun was struck directly in the cheek by a hard object, which instantly cut her delicate face, and blood immediately appeared.

what?
The painful screams and the chaotic scene enraged Zhao Mancang.

Some police officers were also injured, but at this point they had to pull out their guns and threaten the family members, forcing them to cover their heads and lie down.

In the chaos, some people tried to escape, but the police were ruthless and shot the fleeing person directly in the leg.

The existing police regulations on Hong Kong Island do indeed have standards for the use of firearms.

If a suspect tries to escape, the first shot should be to the legs to prevent their escape.

Just as the police opened fire, Zhao Mancang quickly came over to check on the injuries of Zhao Huijun and the others.

After observing the surroundings, it was discovered that Zhao Huijun was the most seriously injured. Moreover, she is a singer, and if she is disfigured, she will be unable to participate in many public events.

Although Zhao Huijun has not participated in many public events, at most she holds concerts, and she rarely goes to commercial performances.

"Dad, I'm disfigured, sob sob sob!" Zhao Huijun burst into tears when she saw her father coming over.

"Don't panic, I will heal you," Zhao Mancang quickly reassured him.

This is the entrance to the emergency room; there's quite a bit of medical equipment here.

Just as Zhao Mancang was helping Zhao Huijun lie down, the police had already brought the situation under control.

The police really lost face in today's incident.

These family members are practically humiliating the police.

"They must be severely punished!"

The police chief was furious. He knew that if he didn't handle this situation well, he would probably be demoted, let alone promoted.

Soon, Zhao Mancang led Zhao Huijun, Zhao Pingan, and others into a consultation room, closed the door, and began treatment.

Meanwhile, a number of people arrived in the emergency room corridor, and they were clearly important figures.

Two hours later, Zhao Mancang had finished bandaging and cleaning the wounds of Zhao Huijun and the others.

"Huijun, don't worry about being disfigured. I've already applied medicine, and I'll change the dressing tonight. Once the injury heals, there won't be any scars on your face."

Hearing her father's words of comfort, Zhao Huijun nodded.

After calming Lin Wan and the others down, Zhao Mancang then went to deal with the incident of the family members assaulting people.

There is CCTV in the emergency room corridor, which means there is surveillance footage. Zhao Mancang didn't need to make any arrangements; the police had already obtained the CCTV footage.

However, according to the police, when they were taking the CCTV footage, some people even tried to snatch it away, attempting to destroy the evidence.

That's a bit too outrageous!
"Then let's administer the highest level of punishment according to Hong Kong law. I don't need their compensation; I just want to see them undergo ideological reform."

After hearing this, Zhao Mancang became even angrier.

Those people are utterly lawless.

Just then, among the group of people in front of them were several people in charge of Changda Group. They came forward to apologize to Zhao Mancang.

"I'm sorry, boss, it's our fault for not disciplining them properly."

Upon seeing these people, Zhao Mancang frowned, and after they finished speaking, he became extremely angry.

So the Joker was actually himself?

According to the statements given by the individuals in charge of the Changda Group, the family members who were detained were peripheral personnel of the Changda Group.

He is actually a relative of a senior executive of Changda Group, but he does not work for Changda Group; he is more like a contractor.

One of the business segments of the Changda Group is real estate development. After all, the real estate development on Hong Kong Island has been very rapid, with many residential buildings springing up over the past ten years.

A significant number of residential complexes were built by Changda Group.

The family members of the deceased were the contractors.

Zhao Mancang had brief contact with these family members. Although they were parents who had lost their children, Zhao Mancang could understand their feelings. However, their arrogance in front of the police showed that these people were definitely not simple.

But to his utter surprise, this group of people were still connected to him.

The families of the deceased are just like the old-fashioned triads, except they've changed their methods of exploitation, changed their appearance, and are now acting in a more legitimate and legal way.

So, it was actually Zhao Mancang who provided protection for these gangsters?
However, he had no idea about this at all.

These people have truly figured out how to deceive their superiors and subordinates.

In addition, Zhao Mancang has not spent much time on Hong Kong Island in recent years, so he is not very clear about what changes have occurred.

He had always thought that Hong Kong Island was peaceful and prosperous, but he never expected things to turn out like this.

The Changda Group wields immense power and influence in Hong Kong, and it's likely they've been involved in numerous shady dealings behind the scenes.

Judging from the families of these deceased, there are probably many people involved behind the scenes.

So while the leaders of Changda Group were reporting, Zhao Mancang quickly came up with a solution.

Major overhaul!

Dissolving the Changda Group outright is definitely not realistic.

After all, even if Changda Group is dissolved, it's only a temporary solution.

Besides, Changda Group can also generate profits, so we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater, can we?

Immediately, Zhao Mancang instructed several leaders of the Changda Group to assist the police in handling the immediate matter.

As for the investigation into the senior executives of the Changda Group and the subsequent major reshuffle, we'll talk about that in a couple of days.

Anger is understandable, but we shouldn't let anger complicate the matter further.

Zhao Mancang was very clear about what outcome he wanted next. Moreover, he couldn't get too angry; he had to maintain a pleasant mood and not let these things affect him.

After handling the matter, Zhao Mancang immediately made a phone call to the Governor of Hong Kong Island, and then made several more calls.

That evening, in the study of his villa on Victoria Peak in Hong Kong Island, Zhao Mancang met with several officials from Hong Kong Island.

He owns several companies on Hong Kong Island. For example, the Changda Group includes companies such as Kinmen Construction, Changda Real Estate, Changda Property, and Changda Property Management.

In addition, there are Dairy Farm Group, Causeway Bay Motors Group, Wharf Holdings, and Hong Kong Island Development Bank, among others.

Nineteen years ago, the gold in the underground vault of the Hong Kong Development Bank already exceeded US$2 billion. Today, the bank's business spans the globe, with branches in many places in Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, making it a very large international multinational financial group.

"I am very disappointed in you!"

After these leaders entered the study, Zhao Mancang uttered a single sentence that immediately caused everyone to lower their heads in shame.

No one dared to refute Zhao Mancang's words, because they all knew that the big boss was in a bad mood, and going against him at this time would only be asking for trouble.

Neither of them dared to say anything.

They didn't dare to offer any explanation.

After a while, Zhao Mancang finished speaking.

The goal was simple: to encourage self-reflection from top to bottom. At the same time, Zhao Mancang was giving these people a chance; if they confessed honestly now, he might be able to show them leniency.

If the investigation team finds evidence of any egregious incidents after they arrive, and it turns out they were indeed involved, then don't blame Zhao Mancang for being ruthless.

The people in front of them hurriedly stated that they had indeed not done anything wrong and could absolutely withstand the test.

silence!

After a long while, Zhao Mancang sneered:
"You'd better do this: if it really comes to that, then don't come begging for mercy anymore, because I've already given you a chance, and I won't give you a second one!"

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"From now on, you will stay here. The investigation team was already in place when you arrived. You only need to wait here for a week. As this only concerns business in Hong Kong, the investigation team will have results soon."

what?
The people in charge were instantly dumbfounded.

They thought they would be able to leave, but Zhao Mancang actually let them stay in the villa.

How can they destroy the evidence then?
Zhao Mancang completely caught them off guard this time.

How to do?
This is extremely urgent. If the investigation team finds evidence, they're doomed.
Power can inflate one's ego, especially when there is little oversight.

In fact, even if Zhao Mancang had stayed in Hong Kong Island, he would not have been able to avoid such things happening.

Human nature is inherently greedy; that's just how it is.

Once you have a million, you'll always want to earn ten million; you'll never be satisfied.

As things stand, Zhao Mancang cannot afford to ignore this situation.

"Boss, if that's the case, wouldn't the company suffer huge losses? Perhaps we..."

One of the managers, still clinging to a sliver of hope, attempted to use the company's revenue as leverage to force him to leave the villa.

The others echoed his sentiments, but Du Xiangdong and Yu Weijie remained silent.

Judging from the expressions and eyes of Du Xiangdong and Yu Weijie, they don't seem like treacherous or cunning people. Perhaps they haven't joined forces with them.

At this point, Zhao Mancang had already made up his mind. How could he possibly let them leave because of money?
"Don't even think about leaving here. There will be others to handle the company's business for you."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"Stay here and see what happens in a week!"

After saying that, Zhao Mancang left.

That's all for now on Hong Kong Island; he still needs to deal with the pirate incident in the Gulf of Aden.

As for his daughter Zhao Huijun's facial injury, he has already used medicine, which was obtained from the system. As long as Zhao Huijun is obedient and does not change the medicine on her own, then everything will be fine.

Zhao Mancang has arrived in Yunlan City.

Upon seeing him, Lü Yangui immediately reported the situation.

The pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden are indeed extremely serious, as a large number of ships have been robbed.

Furthermore, some people were injured and others died as a result.

Once it involves dead people, the matter escalates completely.

"How many people died?"

Zhao Mancang asked in a deep voice.

Yunlan City doesn't have a large population to begin with, and the fleets operating cargo shipping include not only Yunlan City's own ships but also the fleet of the Norina Shun Group.

Those pirates were incredibly audacious; not only did they rob people, but they even dared to kill them. It was truly outrageous.

This is a classic case of being fearless!
"A total of eighty-seven of our men died, and the pirates died in total..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Mancang interrupted him.

"I don't want to know how many people died on the island. Even if they all died, it wouldn't quell my hatred. These people deserve to go to hell..."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yangui fell silent.

Zhao Mancang's past hatred of pirates shows that a group like pirates truly deserves to go to hell.

Pirates offer no benefit other than burning and looting; they are the scum of the earth. Hell is the only place suitable for them; the human world is absolutely not.

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"Have all our men been rescued? What was the extent of the cargo loss? And who exactly is behind these pirates?"

The person has definitely been rescued, but is still on the way.

The cargo damage is quite severe. A rough estimate is that two cargo ships were burned, and three grain ships have been taken away and are currently being located and tracked.

However, finding those cargo ships in the vast ocean is not an easy task.

This group of pirates was rather strange, because they came from the Caribbean Sea and had no one backing them. Instead, they came to the Gulf of Aden on their own initiative to burn, kill, and plunder.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang's face immediately turned murderous:
"What did you say?"

Even Lü Yangui, who was facing all of this, was frightened by Zhao Mancang's expression.

"Caribbean pirates actually dare to come to the Gulf of Aden? Very well, very well indeed. Now Sam even knows how to use these underhanded tricks to clear himself of all charges, but aren't you just admitting your guilt?"

Upon hearing Zhao Mancang's guess, Lü Yangui hesitated and said:
"Boss, although I also suspect that Sam might be behind this, shouldn't we remain calm until we have investigated the matter thoroughly?"

"Calm down my ass!" Zhao Mancang shouted angrily, swearing.

"You know where the Caribbean Sea is. If it weren't for Sam pushing this from behind, would these dim-witted black pirates have come to the Gulf of Aden?"

Nobody's a fool!

The Caribbean pirates weren't stupid either.

Why would Caribbean pirates go to such lengths to plunder the Gulf of Aden, a place they knew nothing about?

But what if they migrate to the Arabian Peninsula? (End of Chapter)
