Hong Kong Movie: At the beginning, Big Boss B asked me to draw the death lottery

Chapter 151 I'm a rogue, when have you ever seen a rogue care about public opinion?

"Mr. Jiang, could you use your connections in Thailand to help me investigate whether there is a pig named Chen Zhijie in this prison as quickly as possible?"

This person is very valuable to me. If you happen to have him, could you please do me a favor and say you're willing to spend the money to buy him and send him to Malaysia for a kidney transplant for a friend?

After yesterday's trial, Ho Yiu-chung clearly understands that simply tailing Hung Man-kong and obtaining fragmented information is insufficient to make the foreigner admit to having made shady deals with human traffickers.

If the truth is to come to light, we need a high-ranking officer to personally expose the political department's dirty secrets.

Clearly, Chen Zhijie, the undercover police officer sent by the CID, is the best candidate!
Jiang Tianyang nodded in agreement.

"If such a person exists, the best solution would be for me to find someone to rescue him under the guise of buying piglets."

"Could you tell me, brother, why is this Chen Zhijie so valuable to you?"

"Mr. Jiang, you are a businessman."

If I'm not mistaken, the reason you keep asking me about good ways to be patriotic is that you want to gradually transfer your assets in Thailand back to Hong Kong, and then transfer some of them from Hong Kong to the mainland to test the waters.

Not knowing many things might be the best way to protect your assets!

Jiang Tianyang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Brother, when I was your age, I was still living a life of debauchery in Pattaya!"
You really can't compare yourself to others. No wonder you're so young yet so successful in getting along with everyone.

If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. I, Jiang Tianyang, would love to have you as a friend!

He Yaozong smiled slightly: "Then please don't waste any more time, Mr. Jiang, and get this matter settled for me as soon as possible!"
I will arrange for someone to pick him up from Thailand. I'll leave everything to Mr. Jiang.
-
At 9:30 a.m., outside Cai Yuanqi's detached villa in the mid-levels of Victoria Peak.

A Rolls-Royce adorned with a British Crown logo pulled up in front of his villa.

Subsequently, a group of guards walked to the villa entrance and took over the post of standing guard for Cai Yuanqi at the villa entrance.

A gaunt, middle-aged foreigner with a hooked nose got out of the back seat of the car.

Cai Yuanqi was already waiting in the courtyard. When he saw the foreigner enter, he immediately stood at attention and saluted him.

"Cai, why make such a big fuss at home?"

The foreigner spoke fluent Mandarin, while Cai Yuanqi responded fluently in English.

"Governor, please be courteous and come in!"

The visitor was none other than then-Governor of Hong Kong, Wilson. Accompanied by Cai Yuanqi, Wilson gestured for his guards to wait outside, while he led Cai Yuanqi into the living room of his villa.

"Sir, would you like some coffee?"

"No, plain water is fine!"

A moment later, Wei Yixin took the water Cai Yuanqi offered, took a small sip, and then got straight to the point.

"Cai, I heard you plan to send men to surround the entire Kowloon Walled City. Are you trying to wipe out all the residents of the walled city in one fell swoop?"

Cai Yuanqi, with a serious expression, sat down next to Wei Yixin and answered.

“Governor, last night, these rioters disregarded the law and openly beat two of my Hong Kong Island Special Branch officials to death outside Kai Tak Airport.

In my view, these people are blatantly provoking the laws of Hong Kong Island and openly trampling on the dignity of the police force!

I think it's necessary to bring all these people to the police station and investigate them one by one, so that Superintendent David can get justice!

"Tsai, the seeds of civilization have finally taken root and sprouted on Hong Kong Island. Do you want the image of the police force to revert to the barbaric era of twenty years ago?!"

Wei Yixin's casual remark sent a chill down Cai Yuanqi's spine.

But he still tried to evade the question, saying, "Sir, I...I did this entirely because..."

"Come on, Cai, you need to figure out who your real opponent is."

What you're doing now, according to your old Eastern saying, is called treating the symptoms but not the root cause!

Wei Yixin's expression immediately turned serious, and Cai Yuanqi quickly sat up straight.

"I am willing to listen to your teachings!"

“Cai, tell me, why do you feel powerless when you are facing He Yaozong?”

Does this guy have any other special identity besides being a director of a Hong Kong Island triad?
Is he a Legislative Council member? Or the head of a large Chinese business association?

As he spoke, Wei Yixin picked up the glass of water again and moistened his throat.

He then said, "He is nothing special. Ultimately, it is because he raised a big banner and bestowed favors upon the citizens of Hong Kong Island."

Citizens are the foundation of Hong Kong Island, and all administrative organs on Hong Kong Island, in essence, serve the citizens.

If we don't legally remove the banner of righteousness he's waving, your police department will always feel constrained when dealing with him!

“But… Governor, we have investigated the source of funds in his account.”

Every penny he spent was honest and clean.

I have reason to doubt whether it is...

Cai Yuanqi didn't dare to continue, but just shook his head to indicate that he couldn't think of a way to legally remove the banner of righteousness raised by He Yaozong.

Wei Yixin put down his water glass and interlaced his fingers.

The eyes above his hooked nose began to gleam with a sharp light.

He suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Cai, have you read Sun Tzu's Art of War?"

"Know a thing or two."

As Sun Tzu's Art of War says, "Take the indirect as the direct, and turn adversity into advantage."

At times like this, we should adopt a strategy of retreating to advance. I think you should try to get He Yaozong to lower his guard first!

"Governor, please advise on how to use a strategy of retreating to advance?"

Wei Yixin lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he said, "As for the matter in the walled city, just find two scapegoats and move on. I don't want this matter to continue to escalate and further damage the reputation of Great Britain in East Asia."

Tsai, do you still remember the riot that happened at the White Rock Refugee Camp two years ago?

Cai Yuanqi's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized what was going on.

More than a decade ago, the Hong Kong British government began to accept Vietnamese refugees under the guise of providing refuge to Hong Kong.

Those foreigners have absolutely no shame!
At that time, the war between mainland China and Vietnam broke out, and soon after, the foreigners took in large numbers of Vietnamese refugees on Hong Kong Island under the guise of "hospitalization".

Among them were many Vietnamese soldiers who had nowhere else to turn.

These people were already at odds with the mainland. Once they settled down in Hong Kong and passed down their lineage for a generation or two, officially obtaining legal status in Hong Kong, the seeds of hatred were sown.

The foreigners are generous with other people's money. After they are kicked out of Hong Kong Island, it's no wonder that these Vietnamese descendants will do something afterward, except to be grateful for the foreigners' "kindness"!

However, Cai Yuanqi wasn't thinking about those things right now; he looked at Wei Yixin excitedly.

"Governor, our police force faced considerable international condemnation when we suppressed the riots at the White Rock refugee camp."

To be honest, the Vietnamese are truly ungrateful.

If you asked Ho Yiu-chung to deal with the Vietnamese people in the refugee camp, I guarantee he wouldn't have that much patience.

Wouldn't this allow us to conveniently remove the powerful figurehead held by He Yaozong?

Wei Yixin was very satisfied when he heard Cai Yuanqi say what he wanted to say.

However, he naturally wouldn't get involved in this mess.

He only vaguely suggested, "Go and have a good talk with Mr. Wilson of the Land Administration Department."

Hengyao Real Estate is a real estate developer, so they would definitely be interested in the land in Moxingling.

Mr. Wilson, under the guise of appeasement by the Chief Secretary, will authorize Hengyao Real Estate to develop the land there.

Cai, now you know what you should do, right?

Cai Yuanqi immediately stood up straight.

"Governor, I will immediately arrange for the action team to gather those troublemakers from the various refugee camps over at Mount Mossing!"

Wei Yixin pretended not to hear Cai Yuanqi's reply. He finished the last sip of water in his glass, then got up and left Cai Yuanqi's residence without saying a word.

……

"Mr. He, the place you chose is really nice!"

At noon, Wilson, a land administration official, arrived at Bijia Mountain. In the garden of the villa halfway up the mountain, he repeatedly expressed his admiration to He Yaozong beside him.

He Yaozong, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and his hands behind his back, responded with a smile.

"Mr. Wilson, if you spend nearly 200 million Hong Kong dollars, even the squatter area of ​​Hanging Neck Ridge will feel like it's full of birdsong and fragrant flowers!"

I haven't prepared lunch for you. It would be best if you told me what's wrong as soon as possible.

As he spoke, He Yaozong sat down on a stone bench in the garden. Wilson chuckled and stopped, sitting down next to He Yaozong.

"Mr. He, the matter in Kowloon Walled City was a complete misunderstanding."

The Provincial Administration has already issued a warning to us under the pretext of interfering with the free market economy.

Therefore, the land in the walled city area will still be handed over to Hengyao Real Estate for development.

I must say, your resettlement work is the best among all the real estate developers on Hong Kong Island!

"Mr. Wilson, I hope you won't keep jumping around like this this time."

If this happens again, we'll see you in court!

Wilson smiled and continued, "Actually, Mr. He, there is something else I want to discuss with you."

"whats the matter?"

"Your Hengyao Real Estate has done such a good job in resettlement, why don't you help our land administration to develop the area around Moxingling?"
We can authorize Hengyao Real Estate to develop this land in order to expand the commercial area of ​​the West Ring Road.

I wonder if Mr. He has any confidence?

He Yaozong sneered: "Where is Moxing Ridge?"

"Silver Mine Bay has a pier, which makes it convenient for Hengyao Real Estate to do commercial planning."

He Yaozong's smile grew even wider.

“Mr. Wilson, this isn’t the first time we’ve dealt with each other.”

I firmly believe that your land administration department did not provide me with a free lunch.

"You're suddenly being so nice to me, apologizing and giving me land. It's hard for me not to suspect you have ulterior motives!"

"Mr. He, you're too kind."

Wilson chuckled: "It's all because of the beneficiaries of the resettlement projects developed by Hengyao Real Estate during this period, who have stirred up too much chaos in Hong Kong Island."

Mr. Ho, you are an influential person, and we also hope to see the situation in Hong Kong Island return to peace.

To be honest, this is a reassurance policy issued by the Provincial Treasurer to you and the citizens; you need not worry at all!

"really?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Well!"

He Yaozong threw away his cigarette butt and then offered his terms.

"Since it's the Provincial Administration Commission that's spoken, why don't you go and propose another condition on my behalf?"

There have been too many assassination attempts against me lately, and I find it hard to believe in the security level of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.

If they have no objections, I want the Chief Secretary and the Police Force to negotiate. I want to open my own security company on Hong Kong Island!

If the police force agrees to issue me a license, then I will take over the Silvermine Bay development project!

"This……"

Wilson was at a loss for words.

It was clearly them who delivered the land to our door, so why is it that the land administration is the ones who benefited?
After thinking for a moment, he finally gave a vague reply.

"I will try my best to negotiate on your behalf, Mr. He, but I also have my own requirements."

Hengyao Real Estate must start construction on the Silver Mine Bay development project immediately.

I need to receive the development plan for Silver Mine Bay from Hengyao Real Estate as soon as possible!

"Of course, the proposal will be delivered to you as soon as the police department issues the license."

I guarantee that the initial investment for Silvermine Bay will be no less than 800 million!

Wilson immediately stood up and extended his right hand to He Yaozong.

"Mr. He, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Do I look happy to you?

He Yaozong responded coldly, but still gave Wilson face by shaking his hand and immediately signaling the henchmen behind him to see the guest out.

Just as He Yaozong returned to his residence to take a short nap, there was another knock on the door.

Xiwei's voice came from outside.

"Brother Yao, someone has come to visit again!"

"I won't see anyone without a phone appointment now."

"Brother Yao, that's what I told him too."

But the person who came told me to tell you that he is Lau Kit-fai, a senior assistant in the Police Department's Management Group.

He had previously been assigned by the Security Bureau to conduct police exchange activities with the mainland. If you don't want to see him, he'll immediately drive back.

"Wait!"

Upon hearing the name Liu Jiehui, He Yaozong immediately sat up in bed.

He opened the door and looked at Xiwei standing in the doorway.

"What are you all standing there for? Invite them upstairs!"

A moment later, a handsome man in his thirties wearing a suit entered the tea room on the second floor.

Ho Yiu-chung recognized the man as Lau Kit-fai, the head of the Personnel and Operations Department of the Police Force.

He is one of the few pro-Chinese leaders in the Hong Kong Island Police Force!

However, Ho Yiu-chung was unaware of the purpose of his trip and was quite conservative in his attitude toward Lau Kit-fai.

"Officer Liu, I've heard so much about you!"

“Mr. He, I am currently on leave and do not wish to deal with you as a police officer.”

The two shook hands and then took their seats.

Liu Jiehui spoke first.

"Putting aside his identity as a police officer, I greatly admire Mr. He's actions."

Mr. He, I must warn you, you're about to run into big trouble!

"Liu sir, I don't know how many people have told me lately that I'm going to be in big trouble."

However, I don't know what I did wrong. I just bought a few plots of land and built a few free houses for the neighbors.

I don't know whose sore spots I touched, making them try so hard to mess with me!

Liu Jiehui naturally understood that He Yaozong harbored resentment towards him.

But he didn't say much, he just went straight to the point.

"Did the land administration officials just talk to you about something? They want to allocate a piece of land over Mount Moxing for you to develop?"

"That's right, I've already had someone draft the development contract."

If the police force grants me a security company license, I will immediately sign a contract with the land administration department to attract investment for project development in Silvermine Bay.

Liu Jiehui frowned: "Listen, Mr. He, I can slowly find a way to solve the security company's license issue for you."

However, I suggest you don't take over the land in the Mount Davis area!

"why?"

"This morning, the police action team has already given orders to start issuing documents to prepare for the transfer of Vietnamese refugees who have not yet been properly resettled to Mount Davis.

The refugee camp is located in Silvermine Bay, which was assigned to you by the land administration!
In other words, this is a complete trap set for you.

"The problem your Hengyao Real Estate will face at Mount Moxing won't be development difficulties, but rather how to properly deal with these Vietnamese refugees. You don't have the capability to handle that!"

"I acquired the land legally and developed it legally, so what challenges do I need to face?"

"Mr. He, you can't look at the issue so one-sidedly."

Many things cannot be judged by whether they are legal or illegal. For example, when the residents of Kowloon Walled City killed David and his group, the police could only choose to handle the matter quietly to quell the situation because the public opinion was too negative.

If you insist on developing the area around Mount Mosin, it will inevitably lead to conflict with these Vietnamese refugees.

When public opinion reverses, it will be very difficult for you to escape from this vortex!

These words dispelled much of He Yaozong's concerns about Liu Jiehui.

However, He Yaozong simply asked with a cold smile.

"Inspector Lau, tell me, is there a provision in Hong Kong's British colonial law that private property is sacred and inviolable?"

Liu Jiehui paused for a moment, then answered.

"That's true, but what I'm talking about is public opinion pressure..."

"That settles it! I'm not a policeman, and I don't want to be a Jesus who saves the world, so I don't need to worry about any public opinion pressure!"

He Yaozong said in a low voice, "There are many things that you can't do, but I can do without feeling guilty."

To put it bluntly, I'm a member of the club. When have you ever seen a club member, within the bounds of the law, need to worry about public opinion?

……

Dapu Baxianling, Baishi Refugee Camp.

As a temporary refugee settlement, it once held nearly 10,000 Vietnamese migrants at its peak.

Although it was called a detention center, it was really just a facade project by the British Hong Kong government; it was no different from a prison.

The conditions in the refugee camps were even worse than those in prisons.

Every day, many people are called here for identity verification. Previously, most refugees were sent back to Vietnam through repatriation.

However, since the large-scale riots in the refugee camps two years ago, these refugees have demonstrated certain values ​​to the British Hong Kong government, and since last year, the number of refugees obtaining legal status on Hong Kong Island has been increasing.
