Days in Hong Kong variety shows

Chapter 102 Liu Yaozu Goes Offline

On the day Robinson Crusoe came out, he did only one thing: he summoned all the managers in his company to No. 32 Repulse Bay in batches.

After almost a full day of conversation, Sun Lu finally breathed a long sigh of relief at 8 p.m. after seeing off the last company manager.

"Master, you've been busy all day. Have some soup first. Dinner will be served right now." The maid, Wu Ma, only dared to speak when Sun Lu finally finished his work.

"Yes, thank you for your help, Aunt Wu!"

Dinner was prepared for three people: Sun Lu, Xiao Fu, and the correctional officer who accompanied them.

After the meal, the correctional officers wisely suggested that they go and rest.

After the accompanying personnel entered the room, Xiao Fu gently said to Sun Lu, who was quietly lost in thought, "Mr. Sun..."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go now!" As if suddenly awakened, Sun Lu immediately got up, grabbed his coat, and put it on.

The car slowly drove away from the residence at 32 Repulse Bay Road, while the Correctional Services Department staff accompanying the car inside the room seemed to be asleep and did not hear anything.

At Saigon Pier, Sun Lu boarded a small fishing boat alone. In the darkness, the small fishing boat slowly sailed away from the harbor, leaving only the salty smell of the sea breeze and the smell of burning diesel fuel in the air.

About four hours later, a fishing light flickered on and off on the sea a kilometer or two away, and the faint sputtering sound of a diesel engine carried by the sea breeze could be heard from the dock.

Twenty minutes later, the fishing boat came to a safe stop. Cao Tai jumped off the boat first and then reached out to help Robinson.

"Brother Tai" Xiao Fu stepped forward.

"Okay, make sure Mr. Sun gets back safely," Cao Tai instructed softly.

Little Fu glanced at Robinson Crusoe, whose eyes were red and swollen and whose face was expressionless, before softly replying, "Okay! Mr. Crusoe, shall we go now?"

"Wait a moment!" Robinson turned to Cao Tai. "Mr. Cao, thank you so much! I, Robinson, keep my word. We'll go through the formalities tomorrow to change the bondholder's name to yours, but there might be a problem with the company..."

Cao Tai simply looked at him calmly without saying a word.

Robinson saw that Cao Tai seemed indifferent before continuing, "Today I got a preliminary understanding of the company's situation. In the six months I've been in here, that bastard Liu Yaozu bankrupted my trading company, and then he mortgaged the real estate company to get money to fill the hole in the trading company."

Fortunately, the total loan amount is only over 6000 million. As long as I repay the recent loans of about 3000 million, my real estate company can be revived. The remaining loans can be repaid with the profits from the real estate company.

"What's the current situation at the company?" Cao Tai asked, his tone calm and even.

"The land owned by the company was sold off by that bastard, but we still own a few small industrial buildings, a few shops in Central, some tenement buildings in the Central and Western District, and a two-story office building in Tsim Sha Tsui."

The assets are estimated to be worth over 100 million yuan at current market prices, whereas three years ago they were worth nearly 500 to 600 million yuan.

"I was planning to keep that piece of land he sold off at a low price and develop it myself. I figured I could make at least three or four hundred million yuan. I never imagined that bastard would be so short-sighted as to sell off his golden goose."

Robinson's tone conveyed a range of emotions, including indifference and disdain, but it also sounded like a self-deprecating remark about his poor judgment of people.

"3000 million, I'll give it to you in a couple of days!" Thinking of the 400 million US dollars he found on Canton Road still lying in his space, he could just go out and make a trip, deposit it anonymously into some international banks, and then transfer it back.

"Okay, we can handle the company transfer at the same time. It's relatively easy to revitalize these physical assets. Although the rental prices are not high now, I still have some stable old customers. If we can get through this difficult economic period, I think these properties will soon return to their previous prices, and possibly even higher." Robinson was full of confidence.

Cao Tai remained noncommittal, but acknowledged that Robinson's predictions for the future were correct, and that by seizing these properties, their value would indeed double in a few years.

However, at current rental prices, even if all properties are rented out, the rent would only cover the loan interest. To pay off the principal, the only option would be to sell part of the property.

Cao Tai now has a vague idea in mind, but he still needs to visit the locations of these properties before making a final decision.

Watching Xiao Fu's BMW 735i gradually disappear into the distance, Cao Tai got into his Mercedes 500SEL with the license plate "CT13", took out a small video camera, glanced at it, smiled slightly, and then put the video camera back into his storage space.

Tonight, taking Robinson Crusoe to the execution of Liu Yaozu is to fulfill my promise. Secretly planting a video camera to record the process is just a precaution.

Someone like Robinson Crusoe, who has navigated the business world for decades and amassed a fortune of billions, is not to be underestimated. Although he had verbally agreed to transfer the bonds and company and seemed very sincere, Mr. Cao still took precautions.

After all, if Robinson Crusoe were to change his mind, killing him would be easy, but forcing him to submit would be much more difficult.

"Beep beep beep... Beep beep..."

The cell phone lying on the passenger seat rang.

Cao Tai picked up the phone and answered, "Hello!"

"Brother Tai, the target is to depart from Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre at 7:30 tomorrow morning and be taken to the High Court in Admiralty..." Big Fool's slightly distorted voice came through.

Cao Tai hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "I understand. How did you get the information?"

"I randomly picked a gangster to post a bounty in Kowloon Walled City. After receiving a message, I randomly drew the date on the entrance of the Walled City so that passersby could see it at any time."

"I also asked some random thug to help me find the information. The person I dealt with was a former boatman. Now that thug has been stationed in Tazhai, inland. One of our waterwheel routes goes through Lin Yaodong's area in Tazhai."

"Okay, enough of that over the phone. Where are you now?"

"On the boat, we'll dock in 20 minutes."

"Okay, I won't wait for you. Also, keep this to yourself." After saying that, Cao Tai hung up the phone, his right hand resting on the steering wheel, his fingers tapping lightly.

Two days ago, after discovering that someone was spying on him, he pretended to be nonchalant and continued to handle the affairs of "Rock". After confirming that the other party had left, he used his super-strong mental power to locate and follow the other party.

Without confirming whether anyone was following them, the other party naturally used various anti-tracking techniques. Fortunately, Cao Tai's mental strength was exceptional, and his all-seeing range was within a radius of more than 30 meters.

This supernatural ability was far beyond the comprehension of the follower, so the other party didn't realize he was being followed during the sequence of actions. He then confidently drove straight back to police headquarters.

Seeing the other party enter the police headquarters openly and legitimately, Cao Tai basically confirmed the other party's identity.

If it's a surveillance team from the police's Criminal Intelligence Bureau, they have a different identity and a secret location, and generally won't appear at police headquarters or major police stations.

If the other party is proficient in reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance skills, and is a familiar face at police headquarters, then only the political department has such professionals.

Considering that he had only just begun to develop his career, his wealth was at the bottom among the rich in Hong Kong, and his influence was only that of a member of a clan in Sai Kung.

Normally, the Political Department shouldn't be paying attention to me right now. Could it be that my meeting with Guo Yingnan made those rats in the gutter of the Political Department notice me?

However, the details of that meeting should be easy to find out, so there's no reason why they would suddenly send someone to follow me again after so many days.

Since they suddenly sent someone to follow me, it must be because I have a weakness that has been noticed, or maybe I don't have any weakness at all, but I have something that has attracted the hyena's attention.

Is this hyena the political department itself, or one of their stakeholders?
