"An incident? Don't you even use your brain? Is there any evidence? Besides, all the officials in Hong Kong have been purged."

Ah Po now controls the Tianbao Group, the Fok Bank, Hung Hing Group, and has the backing of mainland China. The Governor of Hong Kong might not dare to directly confront him.

"If you were half as smart as A Bao, I would be completely at ease leaving the Huo family in your hands after I pass away," Old Master Huo said calmly.

"Father, I understand. I will think things through more carefully in the future!" Huo Zhenting said respectfully, but there was still a trace of confusion in his heart.

"Father, does the mainland really value Mr. Dong that much?"

"You like it?"

"Ah Bao is like an imperial envoy from ancient times. You can imagine how important it was that he delivered the state gift porcelain last time. It's more than just appreciating it..."

Huo Zhenting was greatly alarmed by Huo Lao's analogy; he realized he could no longer view Huo Lao with ordinary eyes.

……

On the gambling ship.

Shen Bi suffered from insomnia.

Ji Zhengxiong's last sentence left him racking his brains, unable to figure out where things went wrong or where there was a loophole.

Even as dawn broke, he still couldn't figure out how Dong Tianbao could possibly kick him out of the game.

Shen Bi slowly raised his right hand, preparing to rub his eyes, which he hadn't slept all night.

I suddenly realized that my index finger was stained with pen ink. I don't think I signed any important documents yesterday!

Suddenly, Shen Bi's pupils dilated, and he thought of the police station.

"Impossible, impossible..."

He dared not think any further; if this was indeed the case, then he had been thoroughly fooled.

Not only was I kicked out, but I didn't get a single penny!

If that's the case, why did he kidnap me?

He gained absolutely nothing from kidnapping me...

Shen Bi fell into deep thought.

Ten minutes later, he collapsed onto the bed, utterly dejected.

"Dong Tianbao, you're really something..."

Shen Bi's dejected expression turned into admiration, and then he sorted out his thoughts:

The bank robbery was just the beginning of the scheme, designed to throw him off balance after he heard the news. The police documents were taken from the bank and handed over to that Inspector Chen.

This is just the beginning of the trap!

When I saw the document and breathed a sigh of relief, that was the time to let my guard down. Then, I saw the equity transfer document mixed in with the evidence, and I obediently signed it.

It's like Dong Tianbao, who spent his days hunting geese but ended up getting his eyes pecked by one.

They have more than just this one link in the chain.

The takeover of Hockney Bank will definitely cause its stock price to plummet, and people will panic.

But at this point, by tying themselves in, HSBC's stock price will definitely fluctuate.

At this point, both those who have saved money and those who have bought shares in both companies will have wild thoughts and dare not make any rash moves.

There will definitely be people selling, but it hasn't reached the most serious point yet.

As long as you claim to be renovating and have a few large Hong Kong dollar deposits made, nothing will happen.

By binding himself, Dong Tianbao not only lost his shares, but also lost his position as general manager of HSBC.

Worst of all, Dong Tianbao seemed unwilling to push things too far, as long as he didn't ask for an exorbitant amount...

Shen Bi suddenly sat up, ran quickly to the door, and shouted, "Aba! Aba!"

Upon hearing Shen Bi's shouts, Ji Zhengxiong, standing outside the door, couldn't help but smile, his eyes filled with admiration. He thought to himself that Master Bao was truly a brilliant strategist.

He quickly composed himself, opened the door, and leaned halfway inside: "Mr. Shen, what's wrong?"

"Oh, did you not sleep well last night? Tsk tsk tsk! Looks like Mr. Shen is a light sleeper! It's alright, he'll get used to it after a few more days. Since you're awake, I'll have someone prepare breakfast for you!"

After Ji Zhengxiong finished speaking, he stepped back halfway.

Shen Bi felt conflicted about Ji Zhengxiong's rhetorical question, which he already knew the answer to.

He grabbed Ji Zhengxiong and said, "I've changed my mind. Help me contact Dong Tianbao. I want to talk to him."

"No need for that. Just sign this and you can leave." Ji Zhengxiong let Shen Bi pull him inside, smiled, and then took out the agreement he had prepared beforehand.

Left with no other choice, Shen Bi took the agreement and began to read it. Upon seeing several conditions, he angrily exclaimed, "This is impossible! Two hundred million US dollars, and another one hundred million to repay previous loans..."

"Yesterday it was 300 million, but unfortunately you didn't cherish the opportunity. To be honest, this 200 million is just a gift to you, as a favor! With the signature you made, do you think you'll get a single penny?"

Think about Huo Zhaotang, think about your family! If you don't sign, think about Wilson's side, how will you explain that?

"If Mr. Dong hadn't wanted to avoid making things too ugly, following my logic, you should be going to meet your maker!" Ji Zhengxiong's tone grew colder as he spoke.

Shen Bi shivered as he looked at Ji Zhengxiong's chilling tone.

Indeed, as he said, if Dong Tianbao were ruthless enough to kill him, not only would he not have to pay a single penny, but Wilson would also be in serious danger if he found out…

Of the two hundred million dollars, one hundred million must go to Wilson no matter what, and the other hundred million will go into the bank, where they can still make a small profit. (Tianbao Group makes monthly loan repayments to HSBC, so after deducting those payments, they'll have some left over.)

Forget it, my life is more important.

Shen Bi gritted his teeth, picked up the pen, and signed his name.

"Now, can I leave?"

"This is a Swiss bank draft. Mr. Shen, please come with me!"

Ji Zhengxiong carefully put away the agreement, gave the promissory note to Shen Bi, and then got up and led him outside.

Neither of them spoke the rest of the way.

When Sir Michael Sandberg saw the docking point of the gambling ship, he almost vomited blood. "Victoria Harbour, you haven't even left the high seas."

Ji Zhengxiong rubbed his nose. "Oh, it's out! It drove back last night!"

"Mr. Shen, you are a smart man. After disembarking, you know what you should and shouldn't say..."

"Alright, you guys have no shame, but I do!" Shen Bi waved his hand speechlessly, interrupting Ji Zhengxiong's subsequent threat.

Ji Zhengxiong wasn't annoyed. He went into the cabin, picked up his mobile phone, and made a call.

"Master Bao, all done!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Fufeide and Ah Hu will be boarding the ship in half an hour. You guys can go back to Sawadika with the gambling ship!"

"Oh, right, just give the things to your sister-in-law Qiong."

"Yes, Master Bao!"

……

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen..."

"Mr. Shen, excuse me, weren't you kidnapped? How did you end up on the gambling ship?"

Shen Bi sighed, then turned back with an official smile: "Hehe, thank you all for your concern. I wasn't kidnapped; I was just being pranked by a group of mischievous friends."

"Why did I get off the gambling ship? Because my buddies kidnapped me. They all know I'm not into this kind of thing, so they were just playing a prank on me!"

People obviously didn't believe what Shen Bi said, but since the person involved had said it, there was nothing they could do.

At this point, a reporter from a financial news outlet asked, "Mr. Shen, Huo's Bank was robbed. It seems you have shares in Huo's Bank, and the stock price has dropped by 20% today and yesterday. What's your opinion?"

Shen Bi pursed his lips: "Of course I'll sit and watch!"

And the wound in my heart was stabbed again, and the blood kept flowing.
