"So Mr. Li, we don't actually have any conflict. I can tell you clearly that my governing goal is to build Hong Kong Island into a true free port during my term of office, and this free port is obviously what all Southeast Asian Chinese need. Our Hong Kong British government and you can coexist peacefully."

Peng Jiakang looked at Li Jun, his smile becoming increasingly sincere.

Hong Kong Island's rapid development can be attributed not only to the benefits it received from the north, but also to the fact that the unstable situation in Southeast Asia made wealthy Chinese in Southeast Asia hesitant to deposit their money there. At that time, Hong Kong Island, which was not far from Southeast Asia and had a stable political situation, became their best choice.

After saying this, Peng Jiakang continued without waiting for Li Jun to speak: "Mr. Li, this year I plan to award the title of Justice of the Peace to two people who have made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong Island. I think you will be one of them. In that case, you will become the youngest Justice of the Peace in the 140-year history of Hong Kong Island."

Clearly, the Justice of the Peace was a bargaining chip offered by Peng Jiakang to Li Jun, meaning that as long as Li Jun stopped causing trouble, the Hong Kong British government would promote him to be a top figure among the Chinese in Hong Kong.

Of course, only Peng Jiakang himself knows whether it was genuine or not.

“Governor, what you say makes some sense, but you’re wrong about one thing. It’s not just that I have deep feelings for the Chinese in Southeast Asia, but for all Chinese people. Don’t try to fool me with your rhetoric about freedom and democracy. Free port? A free port with a governor appointed by the United States?”

"Listen up, Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, being a Justice of the Peace, is that so great? I wouldn't even be a dog!"

Li Jun looked at Peng Jiakang and spoke slowly, word by word.

[154] The Last Governor's Ambition: Undercurrents Surge on Hong Kong Island

The Governor's Residence.

"Mr. Li, do you know what your words just said mean?"

At this moment, the confident smile that had appeared on Peng Jiakang's face was gone. He looked at Li Jun with a cold expression and slowly said...

"Mr. Governor, I forgot you've just arrived in Hong Kong Island, and your Chinese might not be very good yet. Shall I repeat it to you in English?"

At this moment, the smile on Peng Jiakang's face did not disappear; it simply moved to Li Jun's face.

"Li Jun, I came to Hong Kong Island hoping to resolve everyone's conflicts and make things better for everyone. Since you're being so shameless, just wait and see."

Faced with Li Jun's provocation, Peng Jiakang's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly uttered harsh words.

"Haha, Mr. Governor, some things are fine to fool others, but don't fool yourself. Resolving conflicts? Over the years, how many Justices of the Peace have died unexpectedly in Hong Kong? Do you need me to give you, the new Governor, a lesson on the spot?"

Li Jun laughed heartily.

When it came to settling scores, the Hong Kong British government was incredibly shrewd. During the Canton-Hong Kong general strike, Lu Renfang, the owner of the Green Sun Textile Factory and the first generation of textile tycoon on Hong Kong Island, who initially helped the workers, was misled by his title of Justice of the Peace and cut off the workers' supplies.

As a result, less than a month after the Canton-Hong Kong general strike ended, this first-generation textile tycoon was found dead in his own garden by his servants.

Li Jun said this to tease Peng Jiakang.

"Li Jun, we have nothing more to talk about. Please leave."

Clearly, Peng Jiakang was a man who had seen a lot. Even though Li Jun had singled him out and provoked him, his expression remained unchanged. He simply calmly told Li Jun to leave.

“Peng Jiakang, I’ll return what you just said to me. Just you wait and see.”

Li Jun smiled slightly and spoke slowly.

He then turned and left.

"Li Jun, just as Eugene said, is impervious to both soft and hard tactics, and is courting death!"

Watching Li Jun's departing figure, Peng Jiakang said coldly.

"Governor, do you need my help...?"

Richard, standing behind Peng Jiakang, had a cold glint in his eyes.

"No need. MI6 has already agreed to take action. It's better to leave professional matters to professionals."

As he spoke, a cold smile appeared on Peng Jiakang's lips.

the other side.

"Brother Jun, what important military matter did the foreign governor of Hong Kong want to discuss with you privately? Is he scared of what you've done and wants to seek peace with you?"

As soon as Li Jun stepped out of the house, Li Zetian seized the opportunity, slipped up to Li Jun's side, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, he begged me to accept the title of Justice of the Peace, saying that it would be a loss for the entire Hong Kong Island if I did not become a Justice of the Peace."

Li Jun said with a smile.

"No way, Jun-ge, is the Governor of Hong Kong really that humble? Begging you to be a Justice of the Peace?"

Li Zetian looked incredulous.

"If you don't believe me, go ask him yourself. But I instinctively rejected that foreigner and told him that I wouldn't even be a Justice of the Peace."

Li Jun's smile was very 'bright'.

“Um, Jun-ge, I admit that what you said was very domineering, but I feel a bit insulted because I want to apply for the title of Justice of the Peace this year. As you know, our Li family is a famous family that woos foreigners, and the title of Justice of the Peace is a standard for every head of the Li family.”

Li Zetian's face looked somewhat bitter.

"It's alright. Didn't you already say that your Li family is a family that admires foreigners? Wouldn't it be perfect for you to be Justices of the Peace?"

Li Jun smiled and patted Li Zetian on the shoulder before turning to leave.

"Brother Jun, there's one more thing."

"This is what Li Zetian said in a low voice."

"what's up?"

Li Jun asked with some curiosity.

"Brother Jun, it's not convenient to talk about this here. I'll come to room 7 to find you after the banquet and talk to you in person."

Li Zetian said in a low voice.

"it is good."

Li Jun nodded slightly, then continued to leave. After his 'talks broke down' with Peng Jiakang, there was no need for him to continue attending the banquet.

"Hey, it's been so long since I've seen you. You're not even going to say hello?"

Just as Li Jun was walking toward the gate of the Governor's residence, a woman's voice reached his ears.

“Judy, the night is long, enough for us to talk at length.”

Li Jun turned to look at Judy and said with a smile.

Judy's figure was still hot at this time, but if you looked closely, her lower abdomen was slightly protruding.

"You know the truth."

Judy nodded in satisfaction and gave Li Jun the 'pass'.

Two hours later, on the mountain road near Bijia Mountain, a Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up to the side of the road, and a person got out of the car and quickly got into a Mercedes-Benz not far away.

"Li Laosi, sneaking around like this isn't your style."

Li Jun looked at Li Zetian, who was still looking out the car window after getting into the car and glancing around, and said with a smile.

“Brother Jun, this matter annoys me. It seems that some ruthless people have come to the foreign side recently. They found some clues about how I transferred my shares in TVB and SJM Holdings to you. Lately, a lot of people have been watching me.”

Li Zetian replied with a smile.

"You dared to talk to me just now, and now you dare to come see me?"

Li Jun's expression was ambiguous, and his tone of voice was also meaningful.

"Hehe, Jun-ge, looks like you guessed what I was planning to do?"

Seeing the expression on Li Jun's face, Li Zetian also revealed a sly smile.

"Tell me, slap me, slash me with a knife, or shoot me with a gun."

Li Jun asked with a smile.

After hearing what Li Zetian said, he immediately realized that the kid was trying to play a trick on him.

Since the foreigners have already uncovered the clues, he might as well 'break ties' with himself and completely clear Li Zetian of suspicion.

"Shoot with a gun? Holy crap, Jun-ge, do we have such a deep grudge?"

After hearing Li Jun's words, Li Zetian said with a look of 'horrified' expression.

"Wouldn't this method be more effective? Everyone would believe that the head of the Li family, who has escaped death, truly has a blood feud with Li Jun."

Li Jun smiled.

“That makes sense, Jun-ge. Then I'll trouble you to make the arrangements.”

After hearing Li Jun's words, Li Zetian was immediately 'moved'.

As a family that idolizes foreigners, being suspected by foreigners is tantamount to sentencing the Li family to death. Therefore, Li Zetian had no choice but to resort to the most cost-effective charade.

"No problem, I'm a professional at this kind of thing."

Li Jun replied with a smile.

"Brother Jun, I absolutely believe what you said. You are indeed a professional at doing this kind of thing."

Li Zetian nodded earnestly in agreement.

"Get lost. We've already arranged to go to the hospital. Don't collapse from blood loss. I don't have time to visit you at the cemetery."

Li Jun laughed and scolded.

"Brother Jun, don't underestimate me. Someone like me, a Western-worshipping dog, will be fine buried in the Happy Valley Cemetery after I die."

After saying this with a smile, Li Zetian opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz and got out of the car.
