Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 353 "353" Brotherhood
The Jianghu magazine continues its investigation into Li Ziyin.

It will be published every three days, following a semi-weekly schedule.

This made Li Ziyin quite upset.

Furthermore, the editor explicitly stated that they welcome reports of false information.

This made the citizens of Hong Kong and their peers even more curious.

Therefore, the discovery of Li Ziyin has become a daily source of amusement.

Although some of these colleagues fabricated stories, none of the sources on the Jianghu Magazine's side found any false evidence.

After these events have been amplified by public opinion, they become quite interesting.

Moreover, Lin Yao discovered that many of these colleagues seemed to have come with a mission.

They probably saw that they had messed with Li Ziyin, so they spent money to secretly do something similar.

Li Ziyin has British backers, so they don't dare to confront him openly. It would be quite easy for them to secretly sabotage him from behind the scenes in the computer room.

Li Ziyin is addicted to messing with people, and he especially targets celebrities.

Which of Hong Kong's stars and celebrities hasn't been seduced by him?

Now that someone is taking the lead, they won't let such a good opportunity slip by.

"Damn it!" Li Ziyin has been like a rat in a sewer lately.

I don't dare to go out casually at all.

Because you never know where a group of reporters will suddenly appear, holding microphones and chasing after him to interview him.

Now he only goes between two points, from home to the company, and he doesn't dare to get off the bus or train in between.

Even buying "happy powder" (a type of yogurt drink) requires a vendor to deliver it to his home.

Moreover, right after he had the drug dealer deliver the ecstasy to his home, news of his drug use spread in the media.

These damn dealers all want to sell him for a good price!
Although the English have been trying to downplay the situation.

Moreover, they are putting pressure on ATV.

However, the results were not very good. Lin Yao now holds absolute power at ATV, and the other shareholders are basically useless.

They verbally agreed to the Englishmen's requests, but after listening, they didn't care at all.

Thanks to the sales of Jianghu magazine, it has returned to its peak.

After the magazine "Jianghu" was merged into ATV, it became part of ATV's assets, and they were entitled to dividends.

Moreover, ATV's performance has been steadily improving recently under the leadership of Lin Yao's people.

The popularity of "A Step into the Past" has boosted the advertising revenue, and the news department has been performing exceptionally well recently, resulting in visible growth in performance. These shareholders must be out of their minds to oppose Lin Yao.

There's practically nothing the English can do about ATV.

Then they set their sights on the Citizens Party.

Zeng Guoshan ran over and chatted with Lin Yao: "Yao, is there no room for compromise on this matter?"

Zeng Guoshan has witnessed Lin Yao's development over the years, as Lin Yao's influence has grown.

He was no longer the little brother who followed them around, freeloading off their construction projects.

Therefore, Zeng Guoshan also had to pay attention to certain ways and methods when speaking.

Lin Yao smiled and said to Zeng Guoshan, "Old Zeng, it seems the English are looking for you?"

"How did you know?" Zeng Guoshan asked, somewhat surprised.

Lin Yao said with a disdainful look, "I've already thoroughly investigated Li Ziyin's background. How could I not know that he's backed by the British devils?"

"However, he can surrender if he wants, but only if he tries to do so through pressure..."

Lin Yao shook his head at this point: "I still have a series of punches to give him a taste of his own medicine later!"

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, Zeng Guoshan immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

This level of revelation almost killed Li Ziyin's company, yet Lin Yao still has a backup plan?

The young man in front of me has long since grown to the point where I can't understand him anymore.

However, Zeng Guoshan was only there to act as a persuader, and there was no reason for Lin Yao to let the other party go.

After all, it was that bastard Li Ziyin who started this mess.

So Zeng Guoshan said with a smile, "Then I'll go back and tell those foreigners a message!"

Lin Yao nodded: "Whether it's a fight or a peace, it doesn't depend on me, it depends on these foreigners!"

Zeng Guoshan frowned and said, "These foreigners seem to be particularly active lately!"

Lin Yao said calmly, "After all, they are unwilling to give up Hong Kong, this treasure land. They will definitely not be willing to be driven back in such a humiliating way. They will probably make a lot of arrangements in Hong Kong!"

At this point, Zeng Guoshan said to Lin Yao with a serious expression, "Ah Yao, I heard that you have some connections with your hometown. Can I ask you what the plan is after the return?"

Lin Yao thought for a moment, then picked out some things he could say and said to Zeng Guoshan: "The information I received is that it's 'one country, two systems.' As long as you don't sway your allegiance, I believe that your hometown will not only not do anything to you, but will even try its best to win you over!"

Strictly speaking, the Citizens Party is a localist faction.

Although there are some ties with the English, they are not deep.

All the councilors are locals holding key positions, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Zeng Guoshan thought for a moment and said, "Could you help us make some connections? We need some people in higher positions!"

Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but you two can talk amongst yourselves. I won't participate!"

“Of course! I know you’re not interested in politics!” Zeng Guoshan said with a smile.

……

In a private club late at night.

Li Ziyin disguised himself and drove an inconspicuous car into the private club.

Soon, led by a waiter, we entered a private room.

Upon entering, one finds that most of the people present are Englishmen.

Moreover, several of them are important figures in Hong Kong.

However, one guy was included, a rather special guy, and that was Richard.

"You've finally arrived!" a bald foreigner said to Li Ziyin with considerable dissatisfaction.

Recent events have left these Englishmen quite dissatisfied, and they've even started to have some reservations about Li Ziyin.

After all, his constant provocation of Lin Yao put their plans in a very passive position.

Li Ziyin said with a wry smile, "I can't do anything about it! It's all that damned Lin Yao's fault!"

A tall, thin foreigner tapped on the table and said, "Gentlemen, I've investigated thoroughly. This Lin Yao is indeed a great threat to our plans. I've heard he has close ties with people in the mainland!"

"Hmm?" the bald foreigner asked curiously, "Li Yonglian, how did you know?"

Lai Wing-lim said calmly, "Because I also have some connections with people on the mainland, and they say that Lam Yiu is their most loyal partner!"

"This guy is very good at hiding it. I reckon he's been in contact with the mainland for a long time! In fact, his rise to power is inextricably linked to the mainland!"

"We've already missed the chance to kill him outright. This guy's power is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

Upon hearing Li Yonglian's words, the group of foreigners immediately fell silent.

Li Ziyin, who had just joined the attack, shuddered involuntarily; he seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

So it turns out he wasn't just fighting Lin Yao alone!
"Richard, what's your opinion?" the bald foreigner asked directly.

Richard seemed rather taciturn: "We missed an opportunity, I don't know either!"

The bald foreigner said with a headache, "I've spoken with Zeng Guoshan of the Citizens Party. Either Li Ziyin admits defeat, or we continue fighting. From what Zeng Guoshan said, Lin Yao has a backup plan!"

Upon hearing the bald foreigner's words, Li Ziyin was dumbfounded.

Does this mean Lin Yao isn't even using his full strength against him yet, and there are even more ruthless tricks waiting for him?
This immediately made Li Ziyin want to back out.

Even the foreigners can't do anything with this guy. If they really fight to the death, he'll probably die a horrible death!

Moreover, in this situation, he doesn't even have a chance to speak.

We can only wait silently for these people to make a decision.

Cai Yuanqi then spoke up, saying, "Anyway, using force won't work. The police have suffered a lot at his hands. The top leader won't agree to risk his future fighting against Lin Yao!"

A foreigner named Barron from the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) shook his head and said, "The ICAC can't do anything about this guy!"

"Tsk, he's really getting the hang of it!" The bald foreigner shook his head and said, "Then this is the only way. I'll talk to Chris Patten about this. Let's call a truce for now! Don't let this guy dig any further!"

They are gathered here today because the Jianghu magazine has dug up Li Ziyin's overseas study experience and implied that he was being manipulated.

It was clear that Lin Yao already knew that Li Ziyin was being supported by them, but he showed no intention of compromising.

Anyway, if they don't surrender, Lin Yao doesn't mind digging a few people out to bask in the sun.

If things continue like this, the British government's plan to plant spies in Hong Kong might be affected.

The mainland authorities certainly won't stand idly by then.

Everyone agreed, and Cai Yuanqi even said, "We must be confident before we take action! Otherwise, it's better not to do it at all!"

"Alright, that's enough! Li Ziyin, go and issue a public apology, and have your magazine suspended for a month!" the bald foreigner said directly to Li Ziyin.

Although Li Ziyin felt quite aggrieved, he dared not disobey the group of people in front of him.

Because this fraternity member could be said to control every aspect of Hong Kong at all levels.

With their support, one can act without restraint.

But if you don't support yourself, you can be abandoned at any time.

Things haven't gotten to the worst point yet, so Li Ziyin can only endure it.

It's just an apology and admitting defeat. Li Ziyin has a thick skin and doesn't care about his image at all.

However, the losses caused by the suspension of publication were becoming unbearable for him.

After the meeting, Cai Yuanqi took the initiative to find Richard.

“Richard Sir, I want to be the next number one leader, and I hope you can support me!” Cai Yuanqi said directly.

Richard's eyes lit up, but he quickly smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course!"
