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

Chapter 183, Section 182: What good is being able to fight? In this world, connections matter!

Headquarters of the Giant Empire Group.

In a secluded room, Ah-Hua, wearing earplugs, was listening to the conversation between the two parties. He only took off the earplugs after Hung Kam-pao finished his call.

"How about it?"

Hong Jinbao asked anxiously, his face showing panic.

Ahua looked at Yang Jun, and Yang Jun nodded to him.

“Ah Bao is one of us, so feel free to speak!”

Hung Kam-pao looked grateful and then looked at Ah-wa again. He knew Ah-wa was listening to the other party's call, but he wasn't sure if he could pinpoint the other party's location. Did they really have such amazing equipment?
Ahua then said:

"The other party is in Diamond Hill, but the exact location is unknown!"

Diamond Hill? It is located east of Wong Tai Sin and south of Tsz Wan Shan.

Diamond Hill slum is quite large; it's Ahua's hometown, so he knows Diamond Hill very well.

"Ahua, are you confident you can find their hideout today?"

Yang Jun was also unsure of himself. Killing someone was easy, but saving someone was difficult. He was afraid of accidentally injuring the hostage!

If we wait until tomorrow to make a move, the other party might have already killed them to silence them. It's more reliable to act today!
"I'll try my best. I can't speak for other places, but I know Diamond Hill best!"

Ahua grew up in Diamond Hill and knew all the local thugs. Don't underestimate these thugs; they have the best connections.

"Thank you, boss! Thank you, Brother Hua!"

Hung Kam-pao hurriedly nodded and bowed, expressing his gratitude to the two men.

Diamond Hill slum.

Mad Dog was eating dog meat hotpot with four thugs. The four henchmen, looking excited, asked Mad Dog:
"Brother Dog, is it really going to be ten million tomorrow?"

Mad Dog chuckled, raised his beer, and said generously:

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me tomorrow, I guarantee each of you will receive HK$50!"

“Ah Gui, go get the money tomorrow, and then ride your motorcycle to the dock.”

"Long-haired Tiger, you're in charge of taking care of the hostages!"

Mad Dog plans to run away tomorrow. If he can't get the money, he'll just take a speedboat and kill the hostages without any hesitation!
Cheers! Boss is awesome!

The four henchmen, thinking about the 50 yuan that was about to be deposited into their account, had already figured out where they should run away and spend the money after receiving it.

Taiwan is pretty good. The Taiwanese girls are enthusiastic and outgoing, and they speak in a sweet, coquettish voice.

That's HK$50! They don't have formal jobs, and they might never earn that much money in their entire lives.

Mad Dog is full of vigor. Once he gets to Taiwan, he plans to kidnap one or two rich people, expand his business, and create new glories!

Kidnapping is much more lucrative than selling drugs. I should have started doing this sooner. But it's not too late now. I can continue doing whatever I want after I run away to Taiwan.

The group chatted and laughed, imagining their wonderful life on the run.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the window.

"who is it?"

Mad Dog picked up his pistol and aimed it at the window.

With a wary expression, his henchmen, seeing how nervous Dog Brother was, also grabbed their weapons.

碰.
With a muffled thud, a dark, unsightly object was thrown in through the window.

The mad dog stared intently, its face instantly turning black, and roared:
"bomb!"

The mad dog took off running and ran into the inner room.

But there was no time to spare. A blinding white light flashed, followed by a deafening roar.

The mad dog clutched its ears in pain, collapsed to the ground, and its ears were ringing.

"This isn't a bomb, I'm deaf!"

None of the four henchmen survived; they all lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth, their eyes rolling back, and covering their ears in agony.

Seven or eight gunmen rushed in through the door and took Mad Dog and his men into custody.

"Cops? How did you find this place?"

Mad Dog was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe how the cops had found Diamond Hill. Had someone betrayed them?
Mad Dog glared fiercely at his four henchmen, but his limbs were weak and he couldn't do anything.

Ahua ordered his men to tie up Mad Dog and the others hand and foot, and sneered:

"Mad dog, with your intelligence, you wouldn't know how to locate a phone?"

"They're trying to imitate kidnapping, but they're not even trying to be professional!"

Ahua scoffed, feeling that Mad Dog and his gang had insulted the profession of ruthless bandits. Back in the day!

Ahua recalled the glory days when he followed the big boss Yang Jun and outsmarted the police. Unlike this mad dog, who had no skills whatsoever.

Even the mobile phone couldn't be located, pshaw!
"You're not cops?"

Mad Dog recognized Ah Wah. Isn't that Brother Wah? The big boss of Wo Shing Wo. He had met Ah Wah once before when he went to a meeting with Mr. Chiang.

"Mr. Yang, why?"

"You have no sense of chivalry, but I haven't offended Mr. Yang!"

Mad Dog couldn't understand what his kidnapping of Sammo Hung's wife and children had to do with Mr. Yang.
"Hmph! Mr. Hong Jinbao has become a disciple of Brother Jun. By arresting his wife, you have offended Mr. Yang."

"What good is being able to fight? When you're out in the game, you need power and connections!"

Ahua's words left Mad Dog speechless and feeling very aggrieved.
Hong Jinbao rushed in and was horrified to see his wife and son locked in a dog cage, foaming at the mouth!

"Damn it, I'll kill you!"

Hung Kam-pao snatched the gun from Ah-wa's hand and fired at Mad Dog.

boom.
After shooting the mad dog in the chest, Hung Kam-pao finally felt relieved and immediately searched the dog for the key, which he then used to open the dog cage.

Ahua saw the mad dog's corpse on the ground and muttered, "That fat guy is pretty ruthless."

"They're all fine. They just need to be taken to the hospital for treatment. There are helicopters available outside that can take them to the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital!"

Hong Jinbao was holding his wife, and Ahua asked his younger brother to help hold the child.

The group boarded the helicopter that was waiting outside. Sammo Hung was both surprised and delighted. The helicopter was ready. The boss was really thoughtful!
Ten minutes later, the helicopter landed on the rooftop of Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital, where medical staff were already waiting.

Soon, Hung Kam-pao learned that his wife and son were alright, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright! Thank you, Brother Hua~"

"You should thank Mr. Yang; I was just following orders!"

"Yes, yes, thank you so much, Boss and Brother Hua, for saving our whole family's lives!"

Ahua patted Hung Kam-pao on the shoulder and teased:

"They're fine, but you're in trouble. You killed a mad dog!"

Ah! Hong Jinbao broke out in a cold sweat. He had impulsively shot Mad Dog, because who knew if the guy would seek revenge if he kept him alive. "I was just kidding, I'm not going to report you!"

Hong Jinbao wiped the cold sweat from his face, quite frightened by Ahua. He knew he would be tied to Mr. Yang from now on.

"I'm leaving. Tomorrow is the boss's engagement banquet, and I need to go back and prepare."

The next day.

Although it was just an engagement banquet, Yang Jun spent a fortune to book the entire Peninsula Hotel.

Congratulations, Mr. Yang! May you have a son soon!

"Ah Jun, this is Mr. Ezekiel, the Governor of Macau. He came all the way from Macau to attend your engagement party."

"welcome!"

Yang Jun stood at the door, his face stiff with a forced smile. Beside him was his father-in-law, He Xin, who introduced Yang Jun to the distinguished guests from Macau.

They were all prominent figures, some of whom were foreigners.

Yang Jun was so busy he was dizzy. He Xinqiong, dressed in a bright red evening gown, was tall and elegant. She was very approachable when receiving female guests and quickly became friends with a large group of ladies.

For example, Bao Zhenzhen, the daughter of the shipping magnate, and several of Huo Yingdong's daughters were already close friends with He Xinqiong.

"Xinqiong, you look so beautiful today! I envy you so much for marrying such a good husband!"

Bao Zhenzhen looked at Yang Jun at the door, feeling extremely envious. He was the richest Chinese person!
"No way, your husband is just as good, he's an internationally renowned designer!"

"Oh, right! There's a charity auction tonight, let's go together, it's very meaningful!"

He Xinqiong moved among the women and could communicate fluently in English with the noble ladies of England, radiating a captivating charm.

Wang Zuxian stood idly in the corner, watching He Xinqiong's graceful movements in the distance. He sighed inwardly, realizing he still couldn't integrate into Jun Ge's circle.

These wealthy ladies passed by without even glancing at me. Even though I'm a big star, I still can't sit at the table with these socialites.

"I didn't lose unjustly. I should just stay humble and play the subordinate role," Wang Zuxian sighed, finally accepting his place.

"Mr. Edward, please come in!"

Yang Jun shook hands with the Governor of Hong Kong and invited Governor Edward inside, as he was a distinguished guest.

"Wait a minute! The Crown Prince has also come to Hong Kong specifically to give you his blessings."

Edward stopped in his tracks. A handsome man in his forties approached. It was Crown Prince Charles, and beside him was a noble and aloof woman, Princess Ianna.

Wow! This is a very important VIP guest! Yang Jun greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Yang Jun, my wife and I, on behalf of the Royal Family, extend our congratulations to you!"

"Thank you, and welcome!"

Yang Jun had no interest in the Crown Prince, but his eyes lit up at the Princess Consort, who was very famous and extremely beautiful.

Although Yang Jun wasn't interested in Western women, he was still somewhat amazed by the princess.

"Mr. Richest man, you are even more handsome in person than in the newspaper!"

"Thank you!"

Princess Ayanna complimented Yang Jun, and the two shook hands. Yang Jun felt something soft and pleasant to the touch!

The Crown Prince and Princess have both arrived? The entire banquet is in an uproar!

After all, Hong Kong was still under British control. How could people who could not even see the governor normally not be excited when such an important figure came to Hong Kong!

The reporters were trembling with excitement, snapping photos non-stop, calling the engagement party a "wedding of the century" because of its exceptionally high standards!
That wasn't all. Soon, a group of people from the mainland arrived at the scene, and Director Bai brought gifts.

"Mr. Yang, this is a gift from your former boss!"

Director Bai presented the plaque to Yang Jun and said to him:

"This is a piece of calligraphy by our former leader; not many people have it!"

Yang Jun quickly opened it and saw five big characters on it: "Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things!"
What? A ministerial-level official? The reporter was extremely surprised!
An engagement banquet brought together all the celebrities from Hong Kong and Macau, while Hong Kong's biggest stars could only stay at a corner table.

"Wow! Even the shipping magnate Bao came in person. Wasn't he said to be in poor health?"

Liu Dehua craned his neck and saw that Bao Chuanwang, supported by his son-in-law, had also come to offer his congratulations. He was very surprised!
The shipping magnate has not appeared in public for a long time due to poor health.

"You don't know! Mr. Bao and Mr. Yang have a very good personal relationship. Mr. Bao insisted on attending this engagement banquet."

Zhou Ruifa knew a lot about the affairs of wealthy families, and he told Liu Dehua, Zhang Guorong, and others.

"The boss is very popular; all the big names in Hong Kong have come here."

After a busy day, Yang Jun finally saw the guests off, while Governor Edward was still chatting with He Xin.

Edward walked over and said to Yang Jun:
"Mr. Yang, can we talk?"

"Of course!"

Yang Jun shrugged. Could he refuse when the top leader of Hong Kong wanted to talk to him?
Yang Jun prepared a private room and sat opposite Edward.

"Try some tea from our Chinese nation!"

Yang Jun poured a cup of tea and handed it to Edward, who was sitting opposite him.

Edward has been in Hong Kong for over a year now, and having adapted to local customs, he must have tasted quite a few fine teas.

"Excellent tea! Mr. Yang's tea is indeed extraordinary!"

Edward's compliment made Yang Jun laugh; these teas were specially supplied to the mainland and were not available to ordinary people.

"Mr. Edward is also knowledgeable about Chinese culture! Hong Kong is a multicultural city, with tea ceremonies and horse racing! People's lives are so rich and colorful!"

Edward put down his teacup and said to Yang Jun:

“A few days ago, Old Arthur from the Cable & Wireless came to me and said that the Giants Group wanted to acquire the Cable & Wireless, and he didn’t want to sell!”

"Mr. Yang, the Eastern Telegraph Company is a British-owned enterprise. We hope you will be lenient!"

Old Arthur had previously investigated the Giants Group's past record and discovered that the Giants Group was a vicious wolf with a long history of bad deeds, which had devoured many British-owned companies.

So old Arthur quickly sought out Edward to act as an intermediary, asking Yang Jun to show mercy!
Yang Jun nodded, spread his hands, and said:
"No problem, since the Governor has spoken, I will certainly give him face!"

Edward was overjoyed. He was also wary of Yang Jun, as the previous governor of Hong Kong had been ousted by Yang Jun. Of course, he would try his best not to provoke Yang Jun.
Yang Jun saw Edward off. It seemed that a forced acquisition of the Cable & Wireless was not an option, and a safer solution had to be found.

Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong.

Lin Qingxia walked along this bar street, feeling very depressed. She had thought that coming to Taiwan would bring her both career and love success, but she found out that Mr. Yang already had a fiancée.

Lin Qingxia was heartbroken. She finally fell in love with someone, but he was already married. Why was God so unfair to her?
Five years ago, Brigitte Lin also fell in love with Chin Han, who was already married. However, after learning about this, she immediately broke off her relationship with him!
She wouldn't be a mistress, so why is it so hard to find a good boyfriend?
Feeling down, she decided to drown her sorrows in alcohol at Lan Kwai Fong. She went into a bar and ordered a glass of whiskey.

"Damn it! Why are you messing with me when you already have a fiancée?"

Lin Qingxia was wearing a white dress and had a cool and aloof demeanor; most people wouldn't have the courage to approach her.

Ding Yixie sat at the other bar and observed Lin Qingxia for a long time. After realizing that she was alone, he drank a glass of wine and decided to go up and chat with her.

"Beautiful lady, are you alone?"

Ding Yixie walked up with a smile, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a glass in the other.
