New talents are constantly emerging in the Sun Kee, Number Gang, and Wo Luen Shing triads. For example, the Sun Kee's Five Tigers and Ten Heroes, the Number Gang's Ten Tigers, and the Wo Luen Shing's Nine Red Sticks have all had new members fill their positions.

It's just that Li Jun is quite familiar with these newcomers.

After half a year of hard work, Li Jun's 50 officers who were undercover as police officers in various gangs had basically all made it big, with even the worst among them becoming "red sticks" (a high-ranking official in the Communist Party).

It seems that the Hong Kong underworld is about to re-enter a situation of fierce competition among powerful figures, but in reality, Li Jun's control over the entire Hong Kong underworld is even more terrifying.

However, in law enforcement agencies such as the police force, customs, and correctional services, Li Jun's sergeants have not made much progress. Most of the dozens of sergeants in the police force have only recently graduated from the Wong Chuk Hang Police Academy and are still junior officers.

But it doesn't matter to Li Jun. Even if it's a small piece, as long as it's used in the right place, it can kill the enemy in one move.

In addition to the officers sent out by Li Jun, Asia Television and the Chinese Daily founded by Xu Zhiliang also experienced rapid development.

Using Li Jun's method, Hui Chi-leung built a paparazzi team of over a thousand people, causing great distress to celebrities in Hong Kong. Now, Hui Chi-leung needs four "special forces" soldiers to protect him when he goes to and from get off work.

...... ... .......

Asia Television (ATV) experienced explosive growth because Li Zhan sold off the real estate in Zhancheng International and made a large sum of money from HSBC in the stock market. He invested all of these funds into ATV, which has now firmly suppressed TVB and RTV.

At the same time, following Li Jun's plan, Li Zhan also ventured into the film industry. Although Zhancheng International has lost its real estate business, it is making just as much money as before.

Everything is proceeding according to Li Jun's plan, except...

As Li Jun departed from Marbacher Island for Hong Kong Island, an international flight from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong Island slowly landed at Kai Tak International Airport.

Once the plane came to a stop, the three Secretaries of the Hong Kong British Government, who had been waiting at the airport for a long time—Chief Secretary Shek Hong, Financial Secretary Jeremy Rodgers, and Secretary for Justice Chow Ping-man—along with the Commissioner of Police of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, Mak Yan-ho, immediately led more than a dozen staff members to the plane.

The person who could be personally greeted at the airport by these four top-ranking officials of the British Hong Kong government, especially Acting Governor Chris Patten, was naturally Eugene's successor, the new Governor of Hong Kong.

If Li Jun heard this name, he would immediately realize that Peng Jiakang was the last Governor of Hong Kong Island.

A few minutes later, the plane door opened, and a blond foreigner, escorted by two bald bodyguards, slowly stepped off the plane.

"Governor!"

"Governor!"

"Governor!"

……

Shi Kang, Gerald, Zhou Bingwen, and Mai Renhao immediately went up to greet Peng Jiakang with smiles.

Normally, according to custom, Shi Kang, Mai Renhao and others would not need to be so eager to come to the airport to pick up the new governor. They would only need to sit in their offices and wait for the governor to summon them to the Governor's residence to meet the new governor.

But the new Governor of Hong Kong, Peng Jiakang, is different.

Strictly speaking, he was unlike any of the previous twenty-odd governors of Hong Kong.

In the past, all governors of Hong Kong were officials of the Colonial Office who were transferred to Hong Kong Island by the Colonial Office.

But Peng Jiakang is different. He was once the leader of the Conservative Party and was considered a very high-ranking official in the entire British government. If he hadn't unexpectedly lost the election for a seat in the House of Commons, he would have been the British government's finance minister or foreign minister, a true figure at the core of power.

Perhaps it was Eugene's ignominious departure that made the U.S. government feel a sense of crisis about the situation in Hong Kong, so they specifically chose such a powerful figure to serve as the Governor of Hong Kong in order to stabilize the situation in Hong Kong for the U.S.

That's why Shi Kang, Gerald, Zhou Bingwen, and Mai Renhao came to pick them up at the airport and immediately started flattering them.

"Gentlemen, thank you for coming all this way to pick me up. You must be tired."

Peng Jiakang was very polite.

“Governor, you’re too kind. We’ve already prepared a welcoming ceremony for you. What do you think?”

Shi Kang said with a smile.

“Provincial Governor, let’s hand over our work first; government affairs are of utmost importance.”

Peng Jiakang replied with a smile, but his tone carried an undeniable firmness.

"Yes, Governor."

Shi Kang immediately agreed, and then got into the Governor's car with Peng Jiakang.

“Mr. Chief Executive, when I was in Chongqing, I heard that there was a troublesome Chinese man on Hong Kong Island, I think his name was Li Jun, is that right?”

After getting into the car, Peng Jiakang looked at Shi Kang beside him, smiled slightly, and slowly said.

Clearly, this Governor of Hong Kong had ill intentions...

[151] Mars collides with Earth: The first clash between the newly appointed Governor of Hong Kong, Peng Jiakang, and Li Jun.

Nathan Road, Hong Kong Island.

A Rolls-Royce with a license plate featuring a queen's crown was slowly driving down the road.

Inside the car, after listening to Peng Jiakang's words, Shi Kang pondered for a few seconds, organized his thoughts, and replied, "Governor, that guy is indeed a problem, but he hasn't been in Hong Kong Island for the past six months, so we haven't focused our efforts on him."

Li Jun had sealed off Marbacher Island so thoroughly that even though MI6 was searching for him, they could only know that he was in Southeast Asia, possibly in Luzon, but they had no idea exactly where he was.

Upon hearing Shi Kang's words, Peng Jiakang turned and gave Shi Kang a deep look, which made Shi Kang feel a little flustered. Peng Jiakang then said calmly, "Prefect, before I came here, I made a special trip to Wales to visit Mr. Eugene, and he told me a lot."

"Among these, the most frequent content concerns the Chinese man Li Jun. Eugene told me that although this Chinese man may not seem to have the same financial or human resources as some of the big families on Hong Kong Island, his potential and determination to confront our British Hong Kong government are the greatest in the entire island."

At this point, Peng Jiakang paused slightly, emphasized his words, and continued, "Provincial Governor, for someone like this, unless he is dead, we will keep a close watch on him even if he is in Antarctica."

“Governor, it was my oversight.”

If it were anyone else, Shi Kang would have retorted directly, but he really didn't have the confidence to do so when facing Peng Jiakang.

Shi Kang knew very well that the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, John Merri, was a good friend of Peng Jiakang. This was also the first time in history that the appointment letter for the Governor of Hong Kong was signed by the Prime Minister. Peng Jiakang was not only the Queen's representative, but also the Imperial Commissioner of the Zu family cabinet. He really came to Hong Kong Island with an "imperial sword".

Even without thinking, Shi Kang could tell that such a powerful governor of Hong Kong would definitely want to establish his authority first upon arriving on Hong Kong Island.

Shi Kang didn't want to become the target of Peng Jiakang's attempt to establish his authority.

Thinking of this, Shi Kang remembered something and quickly said, "Governor, Li Jun has a woman named Mona under his command. She has partnered with Tang Judy of Shimao Group to open a club called Mengzhi Club. I think this club should be related to Li Jun. The club opens tomorrow, and I guess Li Jun may return to Hong Kong Island to attend the opening ceremony."

Shi Kangyi analyzed.

“Mr. Chief Executive, let me ask you this: even if Li Jun returns to Hong Kong Island tomorrow, what do you intend to do to him? Or, in other words, what can you do to him?”

Peng Jiakang glanced at Shi Kang and asked casually.

"I……"

Shi Kang was about to speak when he realized something was wrong. He realized that even if Li Jun returned to Hong Kong Island tomorrow, he would have no way to deal with Li Jun. The current Li Jun was a true 'law-abiding citizen'.

“Mr. Governor, keeping an eye on someone is not just about keeping an eye on them.”

Peng Jiakang smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

"..."

Although Peng Jiakang's tone was very soft, it made Shi Kang feel uneasy, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Mr. Governor, what remedial measures did you take after the dissolution of the Political Department?"

To Shi Kang's relief, Peng Jiakang did not press Li Jun's matter further, but instead gave him face by changing the subject.

“I set up an investigation department attached to the Administrative Secretary’s Office. The people in it are the same as the original Political Department staff. Except for the lack of official legal documents, everything else is the same as the old Political Department.”

Shi Kang answered immediately.

“Mr. Governor, you have done a very good job in this regard. After we finish handing over our work, you should focus all your efforts on this investigation department. I will also speak with the head of MI6 to make sure that we find out the latest developments of Li Jun.”

Peng Jiakang said calmly.

"Governor, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing Peng Jiakang's words, Shi Kang immediately realized where the newly appointed Governor of Hong Kong intended to make his first move.

“Chief Minister, before I came to Hong Kong Island, I did a lot of research. I found that the most serious problem for the Hong Kong British government is not an economic problem, nor a political problem, but a problem of prestige. Faced with someone like Li Jun who repeatedly embarrasses the Hong Kong British government, the Hong Kong British government has no way to deal with him.”

"There are even rumors that Mr. Eugene was forced to resign by Li Jun. As the Chief Executive, confidence is more precious than gold. The first thing I did after taking office was to let everyone on Hong Kong Island see the determination and prestige of the British Hong Kong government."

Peng Jiakang looked at Shi Kang and spoke slowly, word by word.

“Mr. Governor, I completely agree with what you said. I will do my best to cooperate with any of your work, and I believe that all departments of the Hong Kong British government think the same way.”

Shi Kang also looked at Peng Jiakang and said with a sincere expression.

Upon hearing Shi Kang's words, Peng Jiakang smiled slightly. He understood that Shi Kang's words meant that the Hong Kong localist faction, led by him, was submitting to him, the new governor of Hong Kong.

This is also why Peng Jiakang was determined to crack down on Li Jun as soon as he took office.

Creating a common enemy makes it easier for new subordinates to pledge allegiance to the leader.

Upon arriving at the Governor's residence, Peng Jiakang did not even rest. He immediately instructed Shi Kang to summon the heads of the three departments and eleven bureaus to a meeting at the Governor's residence.

A few hours later, the entire upper-class families of Hong Kong Island, including Li Zhan and Tang Judy, received invitations from the Governor's residence.

As is customary, the new Governor of Hong Kong holds a banquet after taking office, gathering all the elites of Hong Kong Island to meet with them. The new Governor will even have a private chat with the heads of top families, such as the four major families.

You can say it's a powerful dragon paying homage to a local tyrant, or you can say it's a declaration of the new governor's sovereignty over Hong Kong Island.

One thing is certain: only the true elite families of Hong Kong Island could be invited by the Governor.

Meanwhile, a flight from Manila, the capital of Luzon, landed slowly at Kai Tak International Airport on Hong Kong Island.

Ten minutes later.

A handsome man with a buzz cut, wearing a T-shirt and cargo pants, looking clean and refreshed, slowly walked out of the exit of Kai Tak Airport, attracting the attention of almost all the women around him.

Behind him were a burly, muscular man and a thin man with a fierce face.

It was Li Jun, Li Wang, and Feng Yuxiu.
