Hong Kong film: Drowned by the Chiang family? I launch a massive attack on Hung Hing.

"almost."

Damon answered immediately.

When will the Provincial Governor and Director Mai arrive?

Hearing Damon say that the protesters had dispersed, Eugene's expression finally eased somewhat. This was one of the few pieces of good news he had heard that night, although he might have to pay a heavy price for this "good news."

"Calculate the time, it should be here soon."

Damon glanced at the time on his watch before answering.

"Damon, go and meet the two gentlemen."

At this moment, Eugene opened his eyes, looked at Damon, and slowly spoke.

“Yes, yes, Mr. Governor.”

Damon was startled when Eugene suddenly opened his eyes and said instinctively.

A few minutes later.

A car with the license plate '1' slowly pulled up in front of Government House. Behind it followed a black British sedan, in which sat the Chief Executive of the British Hong Kong government, Sir Robert Shek.

The Chief Secretary for Administration of the Hong Kong government was the second most important person in Hong Kong after the Governor, essentially equivalent to the mayor of Hong Kong.

When the Governor leaves Hong Kong Island, the Chief Executive is the acting Governor, representing the Governor in exercising his powers.

Moreover, the Chief Executive differs from the Governor and the Commissioner of Police in that the Chief Executive is usually appointed directly by the British colonial government from within Hong Kong.

Unlike the Governor and the Commissioner of Police, who are usually appointed from outside the region.

The reason why the foreigners did this is very simple: the Chief Executive, an official who manages the practical affairs of the government, must be very familiar with the situation on Hong Kong Island so that he can better assist the Governor in governing Hong Kong Island.

Yes, the Chief Executive's primary responsibility is not to develop Hong Kong Island, but to assist the Governor in governing it. For foreigners, the speed of Hong Kong Island's development is irrelevant; what matters most is whether they can control it.

“Mr. Chief Executive, Mr. Mak, the Governor is waiting for you in his office. Please come with me.”

After Shi Kang and Mai Renhao got out of the car, Damon, who was already waiting at the door, immediately came up to them and said with a smile.

"Damon, thank you for your help."

Shi Kang smiled and said something to Damon.

Mai Renhao was clearly in a bad mood and didn't say a word. He simply walked beside Shi Kang and followed Damon to Governor Eugene's office.

"Chief Mai, what exactly happened tonight? I heard that your police force was about to disperse the protesters when you suddenly ordered them to withdraw to the police station. What happened?"

On the way to Eugene's office, Shi Kang asked Mai Renhao in a low voice.

Shi Kang was not very aware of what happened tonight. In fact, he was only told that he had just received a call from Governor Eugene of Hong Kong, asking him to come to Government House, saying that he had something to discuss with him in person.

“Mr. Governor, too many things have happened tonight to explain in a short time. I will tell you slowly after we sit down.”

Although he was very unhappy, Mai Renhao still had to pay attention to what Shi Kang said.

Soon, Mak Yan-ho and Shek Hong entered the office of Governor Eugene of Hong Kong.

“Governor of Hong Kong.”

“Governor of Hong Kong.”

Mai Renhao and Shi Kang greeted Eugene separately.

"Director Mai, Governor, please have a seat. Dai Anmin from the Political Department will be here soon. We'll wait for him."

Eugene spoke to Mai Renhao and Shi Kang, then said to Damon, "Damon, make two cups of black coffee. Director Mai and the Governor are not young anymore; let them perk up."

"Damon, please give me a cappuccino, or a cup of black coffee, or I'd rather go see God right now."

As soon as Eugene finished speaking, Shi Kang quickly added.

"Okay, Mr. Governor, Director Mai, would you like black coffee or..."

Damon smiled and replied to Shi Kang, then looked at Mai Renhao and asked with a smile.

"Black coffee, please. I'm not young anymore, and I do need to perk myself up."

Mai Renhao sighed slightly, then looked at Eugene and said slowly, "Governor, before we discuss this matter, I would like to ask, how far is our British Hong Kong government willing to go?"

"Director Mai, is the matter really that serious?"

Eugene frowned, making his already deeply lined old face even more contorted.

“Mr. Governor, it may be more serious than you think.”

Mai Renhao said slowly.

A few minutes later.

“I’m sorry, Governor, Chief Executive, Director Mak, I’m late.”

Looking travel-worn, Dai Anmin walked into Eugene's office and greeted Eugene, Shi Kang, and Mai Renhao with a smile.

"Minister Dai, please have a seat."

Eugene first asked Dai Anmin to sit down, then looked directly at Mai Renhao and said, "Director Mai, you can bring out what you've said."

Mai Renhao nodded slightly, then took out a cassette tape from his pocket, walked over to the television and cassette player, turned them on, and began playing the video recorded on the tape.

Just like Mai Renhao before them, the more Eugene, Shi Kang, and Dai Anmin watched the video, the worse their complexions became.

However, the three of them were quite composed. Only after the video finished playing did Eugene look at Dai Anmin, whose face was extremely pale, and ask, "Minister Dai, are these people from your political department?"

What Eugene really meant was, "Can't this person not be from your political department?"

“Mr. Governor, Chan Siu-keung just received our Special Branch Medal last year.”

A bitter smile appeared on Dai Anmin's face.

“Mr. Governor, the person who brought the card told me that he also has videos of seven other people, all of them confessions.”

Mai Renhao told Eugene to stop thinking about crooked ways and quickly think about the right path.

After hearing Mai Renhao's words, Eugene took a deep breath, then looked at Shi Kang, Mai Renhao, and Dai Anmin in front of him and said slowly, "The three of you are the pillars of the Hong Kong British government. I believe you should be very clear about the consequences if such a video is released."

In fact, even when the video of the shooting of Chinese people was played on repeat, Eugene was only shocked and angry, but not afraid.

But when he saw the so-called "confession" of the political department officer, he was truly frightened.

There are reasons to shoot Chinese people, and most of these Chinese people were indeed rioters. But if you add the confessions of these police officers from the Special Branch, it would be tantamount to the Hong Kong British government deliberately creating a massacre.

If word got out about this, not only would the Hong Kong British government be unable to withstand it, but even their ancestral homeland would be unable to withstand it.

They won't forget that there's a powerful country watching from the north.

If things really come to that, the best outcome would be for the entire senior Hong Kong government to resign in disgrace, and for the British colonial government to make huge concessions to the Chinese people of Hong Kong Island in order to quell the anger of the citizens and eliminate its international influence.

This was utterly unacceptable to Eugene, the Governor of Hong Kong. He didn't care about ruining his career, since he was about to retire anyway, but the excellent situation of the entire Hong Kong Island would also be destroyed. In Eugene's view, this was a crime.

It was precisely for this reason that Mak Yan-ho made an immediate decision after seeing the video, agreeing to Ah Wah's two "small requests": the Hong Kong Island Police Force to cease all actions targeting Hong Kong Island citizens, and the Hong Kong Island Police Force Special Branch to cease all actions targeting Hong Kong Island citizens.

In order to fulfill the second small request, Mai Renhao even used his position as section chief as collateral, asking Eugene to call Dai Anmin and instruct the Political Department to release Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei.

After Eugene finished speaking, the first person to speak was neither Mai Renhao nor Dai Anmin, but Shi Kang.

“Mr. Governor, the other party did not release these cassette tapes directly, but instead approached Director Mak first, which means they don’t want a lose-lose situation. So what we need to do now is very simple: negotiate with them!”

Shi Kang spoke directly.

"Mr. Chief Executive, the question now is the same one I just asked the Governor: how far can our British Hong Kong government go?"

As soon as Shi Kang finished speaking, Mai Renhao immediately followed up with his own words.

After Mak Yan-ho finished speaking, Shih Kang, Mak Yan-ho, and Tai An-min all looked at Eugene. As the first person in Hong Kong and the number one figure in the British Hong Kong government, only Eugene could answer this question.

At this moment, Eugene's face was unusually grim; he had never encountered such a situation since he took office as Governor of Hong Kong.

A Chinese man directly threatened him, slapping the Hong Kong British government in public. As the Governor of Hong Kong, he not only had to endure it, but also had to figure out how to keep that Chinese man from slapping him a second time.

This is really frustrating.

Eugene grew angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He subconsciously picked up the coffee cup next to him, took a big gulp of black coffee, and then...

‘Poof~’

The unbearable bitterness made Eugene vomit all the coffee in his mouth, covering his desk and Dai Anmin sitting opposite him.

“It’s alright, Mr. Governor, I’ll handle it myself.”

Dai Anmin was clearly a competent subordinate, giving his superior no chance to feel embarrassed.

Eugene gave a bitter smile, whether from the bitterness of the coffee or from being pressured by Li Jun, it was hard to tell. After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke: "If we can handle Li Jun, can we handle the other places, the media, the citizens participating in the protests, and that murder video?"

“Mr. Governor, the Special Branch can handle the media. I assure you, if there is any further mishap, I will resign immediately.”

As soon as Eugene finished speaking, Dai Anmin, who was wiping the black coffee stains off his body, immediately assured him.

"Our police force can issue a public apology and provide compensation to the citizens who participated in the march. In addition, if we can deal with Li Jun, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with Xu Huayan, Zhang Zhiyong, and Deng Wei."

Mai Renhao also spoke up.

After Dai Anmin and Mai Renhao finished speaking, Shi Kang slowly said, "Governor, the murder video is actually the easiest problem to solve. It's just a matter of whether you want to do it or not."

"..."

Upon hearing Shi Kang's words, Eugene fell silent once again.

He understood perfectly what Shi Kang meant: to make the British troops stationed on Hong Kong Island take the blame and to push out the garrison commander, James, to quell the anger of the Hong Kong citizens.
