Hong Kong variety show: I can boost loyalty, the most generous boss.

Chapter 140, Page 139: I gave you a chance, but you were useless!

Yang Jun sat in the back of the Rolls-Royce, took out a bottle of 82 Lafite from the freezer, and poured some for Ahua as well.

"Ahua, have a drink with me!"

Ahua nodded and said to Yang Jun:
"Boss, should we just kidnap that bastard John, hold a gun to his head and threaten him? I bet he'll sell his shares then."

Ahua suggested using their old tricks: kidnapping John and threatening him to sign the share transfer agreement.

"What a terrible idea! The whole world knows I'm acquiring Swire Group. If John disappears, everyone will know it was me!"

Moreover, having kidnapped John, they would definitely have to kill him to silence him; otherwise, John would never have sold Swire Group to Yang Jun.

John is no ordinary man; he has close ties with the new Governor of Hong Kong and also has a vast network of connections in England!

"Why don't we find other shareholders? Ahua, tomorrow you need to invite all the shareholders of Swire Group except John over!"

"Please come over?" Ahua asked, frowning.
"What if they don't come?"

Yang Jun glared at Ahua and said with amusement:
"Hmph, not coming? What color are your clothes?"

When Ahua saw his black suit, he was secretly pleased. This wasn't his old job; the only difference was that the target of the kidnapping had shifted from John to other shareholders.

"Got it, boss!"

Yang Jun's cell phone rang, and when he answered, he found it was Huo Yingdong calling.

"Ah Jun, are you planning to acquire Swire Group?"

Yang Jun laughed. These people were really well-informed. He hadn't made it public, but big shots like Huo Yingdong had already received the news.

"Haha, Old Huo, I can't hide anything from you after all~"

Huo Yingdong and Yang Jun have been getting along well lately, so he offered a few words of advice.

"Ah Jun, Swire Group is no ordinary company; their family has a very strong cash flow!"

"Even the shipping magnate and the Li family dare not make a move. Swire Group is too murky. If the acquisition does not go smoothly, we must withdraw in time!"

Yang Jun sensed the concern in Huo Yingdong's tone, felt a warmth in his heart, and smiled as he said:

"Mr. Huo, don't you think this acquisition is a good idea either?"

Huo Yingdong remained silent for a long time, clearly acknowledging the situation. It wasn't just unpleasant; it was utterly hopeless!

"Haha! Okay, I'm hanging up now~"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jun knew very well that some people were probably laughing at him. He was the richest man in Hong Kong at such a young age, and many people were unconvinced.

However, Yang Jun knew that both Bao Chuanwang and Huo Yingdong treated him quite well and genuinely hoped for his success.

Almost no one was optimistic about Yang Jun's acquisition of Swire Group this time. Even Huo Yingdong did not believe that Yang Jun could succeed!
Yang Jun sat in his office, glanced at his watch, and realized it was time to leave work.

At the entrance of the Giant Group headquarters building, Fang Zhanbo, wearing a vest and shorts, was waiting. He was there to see Ruan Mei.

After being beaten by Yang Jun's men a few days ago, Fang Zhanbo did not choose to call the police, but instead spent time investigating Yang Jun's background.

The investigation revealed a shocking truth: Yang Jun was not only a former triad boss, but also had multiple women, with some people having seen him with different women on numerous occasions.

Damn! He's a jerk, a master of time management.

"I absolutely cannot let Ruan Mei be deceived. Even if it costs me my life, I will expose Yang Jun's hypocritical true colors!"

Fang Zhanbo, bursting with a sense of justice, went to Ruan Mei's old house but couldn't find her. He discovered that Ruan Mei had moved, so he chased after her to the company entrance.

Finally, Fang Zhanbo saw Yang Jun and Ruan Mei walk out one after the other, not holding hands, probably because they were afraid of being seen by people from the company.

Fang Zhanbo's eyes lit up. Taking advantage of the crowds after get off work, he rushed up to Yang Jun and said to Ruan Mei:
"Ruan Mei, don't trust Yang Jun, that scumbag. He has many women outside, and he doesn't truly love you."

Ruan Mei was stunned, feeling the surprised gazes around her, and her face flushed.

"Fang Zhanbo, you need to get out of here!"

Ruan Mei was afraid that Fang Zhanbo would talk nonsense and embarrass her and Yang Jun. There were dozens of company colleagues around, all looking at Fang Zhanbo with gossipy expressions, their hearts filled with curiosity!

Da Dong and four bodyguards rushed up, pinned Fang Zhanbo to the ground, and gagged him!

Yang Jun, with a stern face, held Ruan Mei's hand and said:

"Go away, ignore this madman!"

Fang Zhanbo struggled desperately, but was pulled aside by Da Dong and the others and then severely beaten!
The surrounding employees pointed and whispered, but no one stood up for Fang Zhanbo.

"He deserved to be beaten to death. How dare he slander Mr. Yang?"

"Yes! Mr. Yang fought for the benefits for our Chinese employees and gave us generous treatment. He's a very good person!"

"Even if it's true, it's perfectly normal for Mr. Yang to have three wives and four concubines, given how rich he is!"

It was still the 80s, and it was common for wealthy people in Hong Kong to have multiple wives and concubines, so these employees were not surprised at all!

Fang Zhanbo was so angry he almost vomited blood when he heard these words. He was already being beaten, and now people were saying he deserved it!
"Being rich is really something!" Fang Zhanbo struggled to his feet, cursing angrily.

"You lackeys, you're all Yang Jun's dogs!"

Fang Zhanbo limped away. He planned to go to the police station to report Yang Jun. He had had enough of being beaten twice.

He plans to use legal means to protect himself and will file a police report at the Wan Chai Police Station.

Fang Zhanbo took a taxi to the Wan Chai Police Station, entered the station, and said to the officer on duty:

"I'm calling the police! I'm going to sue someone for intentionally assaulting me."

The female police officer on duty at the station rushed over to check and saw that Fang Zhanbo's head was swollen like a pig's head, with blood still on his forehead. She immediately said:
"Why don't you go to the hospital to get bandaged up first? I'll call an ambulance for you, and police officers will accompany you to the hospital in a bit."

The policewoman on duty quickly helped Fang Zhanbo take him to the hospital, and Fang Zhanbo did not refuse. He thought that since the police had taken him to the hospital, they probably wouldn't ask him for money again.

Soon, Fang Zhanbo was sent to the hospital's surgical clinic, where he was diagnosed with a minor injury.

Two police officers came to the door and conducted a routine questioning of Fang Zhanbo.

A police sergeant surnamed Wang asked Fang Zhanbo:

"Who injured you? Do you know the person who injured you?"

Fang Zhanbo nodded quickly and said to Chief Wang:

"Wang Sir, I want to report a crime. It was Yang Jun who ordered his men to injure me."

Yang Jun? That name sounds so familiar. A nearby police officer quickly reminded him:
"Senior, could this Yang Jun be Hong Kong's richest man, Councilor Yang?"

After Governor William was ousted, the new Governor Edward was reappointed as a Legislative Council member in an effort to win over Yang Jun.

Huh? Suing Councilor Yang?
Chief Wang almost dropped the notebook in his hand. He and the officer looked at each other in bewilderment. The look in Fang Zhanbo's eyes was, "Is this kid an idiot?"

"Yes, it's him. I'm going to sue him for assaulting a law-abiding citizen like me and for leading a triad organization!"

Fang Zhanbo was furious. He had been beaten twice, and in front of the woman he liked, which made him absolutely furious.

He didn't care about the other party's power, but chose to confront them directly and call the police to arrest Yang Jun, that bastard!

Chief Wang was speechless. He filed a lawsuit against Councilor Yang, and was even beaten by Councilor Yang's bodyguard.

"Alright, I'll investigate this matter. Just wait for news."

Fang Zhanbo sensed something was wrong as soon as he heard this line. Should he wait for news?

Why don't you just arrest them? The evidence is conclusive, why aren't you making any arrests? "Sir, go and arrest them now! Why aren't you?"

"You guys aren't corrupt cops, are you? You've been bribed by rich people, haven't you?"

In a moment of emotional breakdown, Fang Zhanbo started speaking recklessly, offending the two police officers opposite him!
"How dare you talk like that! Don't think that just because you're a victim you can spout nonsense!"

"How our police investigate cases is none of your business!"

Sergeant Wang's face turned green. He sternly reprimanded his colleague, telling him to continue questioning the suspects there. He then turned and walked out into the corridor to call his superior.

"Damn! Are you crazy? Suing Mr. Yang?"

Police Chief Wang walked into the restroom, cursing and swearing. Seeing that no one was around, he made a phone call to his superior.

There was no other way; this matter was too serious for a sheriff to handle alone. Of course, he would report to his superiors and pass this hot potato to them.

"Commander Zhou, this is Wang Fuli. I have a case here concerning Councilor Yang. Here's what happened,"

Inspector Zhou Peide was Sergeant Wang's superior. When he heard that it was about Councilor Yang, his eyes lit up. After hanging up the phone, he immediately hid in the toilet and made a call to Ahua of the Giant Group.

"Brother Hua, there's something about Councilor Yang. A man named Fang Zhanbo has accused Councilor Yang of intentional assault!"

"What?" Ahua was startled and said to Zhou Peide:

"Okay! I understand. Your name is Zhou Peide, right? I'll definitely put in a good word for you with Mr. Yang!"

Zhou Peide beamed and fawned over Ahua:
"Thank you, Brother Hua, thank you, Mr. Yang. I'll hang up now!"

Zhou Peide was also one of Ahua's informants in the police station. He usually made extra money by selling information. He was a gambler and had something on Ahua.

After Ahua hung up, he immediately informed Yang Jun of the news.

Yang Jun sat on the sofa in the living room of the Taipingshan villa, while lawyer Liang Yongqi massaged his shoulders.

Yang Jun waved his hand, dismissing Liang Yongqi, and said with a cold look in his eyes:

"Is Fang Zhanbo courting death? Is this never going to end?"

Ahua walked over and said to Yang Jun:
"Boss, why don't I have someone tie him up and throw him into the sea?"

Yang Jun, however, curled his lips into a wicked smile and said coldly:
"There's no need to kill him, just give him a lesson he'll never forget!"

Although Fang Zhanbo is a persistent ghost and has caused Yang Jun a lot of trouble, he is just an ordinary person and can't cause any real trouble!
Anyway, I'll just have some fun; there's no need to get my hands dirty.

Fang Zhanbo walked out of the hospital, cursing and swearing.

"Damn it, the cops and criminals are in cahoots, these cops can't be trusted at all!"

Fang Zhanbo's facial wounds had been treated, and his arm was in a cast, making him look like a patient. He walked down the street and used his other hand to flag down a taxi, intending to go home and get some sleep first.

However, Fang Zhanbo was unlucky. He flagged down several taxis, but they all sped by, splashing him with water.

It's almost midnight now, there are no buses running, and taxis are generally refusing passengers.

"Fuck your mother! Do you even know how to drive?"

Fang Zhanbo wiped the dirty water off his face and cursed his bad luck under his breath.

Just then, a minivan drove up from a distance. Fang Zhanbo tentatively flagged it down, hoping it might give him a ride if it was going the same way.

The van screeched to a halt, and Fang Zhanbo's eyes lit up. It really stopped?

"Hitching a ride is much better than walking home," Fang Zhanbo said to the person inside the car as he leaned in.

"Hey everyone, could you give me a ride? I live in Sham Shui Po, and it's too late to get a taxi!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Azha chuckled. This kid was actually offering himself up? He turned his head and grinned maliciously.

"Okay, Mr. Fang, we'll take you home!"

Fang Zhanbo was dumbfounded. Through the streetlights outside, Fang Zhanbo recognized at a glance that this was the burly man who had beaten him up earlier that day.

Yang Jun's subordinate? Could he really be that unlucky?
Or were these people really looking for me? I was such an idiot to have delivered myself to their doorstep.

"No need, I mistook you for someone else. I'll just take a taxi!"

Fang Zhanbo turned and left, wanting to rush into the hospital. The hospital was staffed 24 hours a day, with not only doctors and nurses on duty, but also several security guards.

Fang Zhanbo will be safe once he gets inside the hospital, but he won't be. These people dare to rush into the hospital and arrest people!

"Help!"

The van opened, and seven or eight burly men quickly caught up with Fang Zhanbo in just a few steps, kicking him to the ground.

"Run! Go ahead and soak me again, damn it!"

Ah Zha kicked Fang Zhanbo to the ground, and two men in suits held Fang Zhanbo down and dragged him into the van.

Fang Zhanbo struggled desperately, but was punched in the stomach by A Zha. The pain made Fang Zhanbo hunch over, his face turning as red as a boiled shrimp. His stomach was churning, and he couldn't straighten up at all. He was dragged into the car by two strong men.

"Mr. Fang, don't go! I still need to take you home."

"If you don't ride in my car, are you being disrespectful?"

Ah Zha chuckled and sat in the passenger seat. Fang Zhanbo in the back was being held down by four burly men, one of whom held a knife to Fang Zhanbo's neck, telling him not to move.

"Don't do anything rash! I've already called the police!"

Call the police? The henchmen around him burst into laughter, as if they had heard a joke.
Ah Zha laughed so hard he almost fell over, and said to Fang Zhanbo:
"Mr. Fang, you have a funny story to tell. You're calling the police, aren't you?"

Are you afraid that Mr. Fang will call the police?

The four short mules behind the van laughed heartily, teasingly remarking:

"Don't be afraid! Call the police quickly, we can't wait any longer!"

A short, stocky man handed the cell phone to Fang Zhanbo and smiled as he told him to call the police.

These short mules weren't afraid of Fang Zhanbo calling the police at all; in fact, they were somewhat expectant. They were working for Mr. Yang, and going into the kiln would not only spare them from suffering, but also give them tens of thousands of yuan in compensation.

You could say that going to the labor camp was like further education; not only did you get paid, but you also had the opportunity to get promoted after you came out!
Fang Zhanbo was dumbfounded. This short mule was not playing by the rules and had confused him.

Seeing the fearless attitude of these short mules, Fang Zhanbo dared not take the mobile phone, and his fear intensified!

Ah Zha, with a cigar in his mouth, patted Fang Zhanbo on the head and said with a smile:

"Damn it, even if I gave you a chance, it wouldn't have mattered!"

Ah Zha took out his mobile phone and said to the driver:

"Drive towards the sea, the more remote the better!"

Soon, Ah Zha drove the car to Sai Kung beach. Ah Zha squatted on the sand and dragged Fang Zhanbo out with his underlings.

"Damn it, going against Mr. Yang!"

Ah Zha slapped Fang Zhanbo across the face, but Fang Zhanbo still looked unconvinced.

"You're not happy, are you? You dare glare at me!"

Ah Zha slapped him a few more times. He knew that this kid dared to steal a woman from Mr. Yang.

He needs to do a great job today so that he can stand out under Mr. Yang and maybe even become a regional leader.
