Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Should we start?"

"Is it really going to start?"

The next day——

The atmosphere throughout Hong Kong seemed extremely solemn.

Both the British Hong Kong government and the people of Hong Kong are surrounded by an atmosphere of "sadness".

The major media outlets in Hong Kong received the news and knew that something big was going to happen today. They were all prepared and waiting at the Hong Kong Governor's Office press conference.

Nine o'clock in the morning————

The press conference was completely dark inside and outside, and there were heads everywhere.

The place was crowded and the atmosphere was lively.

Those present and able to participate in this press conference, in addition to those invited by the news media, are bigwigs and celebrities from all walks of life, including senior officials of the British Hong Kong government, middle- and senior-level police officers, business tycoons, and private celebrities and gentlemen, etc.

As for those outside the press conference hall, those who are not eligible to enter the scene are ordinary people, except for those lower-level officials and gentry, black and white tycoons.

Everyone was talking a lot and speculating on the main content of this press conference.

"I heard that this time the Hong Kong government will announce the death of Du Yongxiao."

"Ah, Director Du is really dead?"

"Who knows, it's only been three or four days. Based on the kidnapping, it's probably hopeless."

Everyone sighed.

"God is jealous of talents!"

"Yeah, he's still so young."

"This is fate! I have used up all my energy at a young age, and now my life is in it."

"Who says otherwise? Everyone has seen his majestic side, but they don't know that there is an old saying that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. When good luck comes to an end, there will be a dead end!"

"Tsk tsk!"

These are the voices of ordinary people.

"Do you think something will really happen to Director Du this time?"

"He is the soul of our police force, my idol, and our spiritual support. Without him, we would not even have a goal!"

"Director Du will be fine, that's for sure! He is a good man, God will bless him!"

These inner words were spoken by the police officers in the police force.

"See, now those officials and police officers have begun to take sides!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Haven't you heard yet? Du Yongxiao is finished and Li Luofu takes over!"

"Li Luofu?"

"That's right. Didn't you see that he is very proud of himself now? All he needs to do is have the words "I am the Commissioner of Police" plastered on his face."

"Then what should we do?"

"Just follow the crowd! Whatever everyone does, we will do."

These words are the inner thoughts of those businessmen and tycoons.

"Hey, why hasn't the press conference started yet?"

"I heard that the Governor of Hong Kong is heartbroken and is sorting out his emotions."

"Heartbroken for To Yongxiao? This Hong Kong governor is very affectionate."

"You believe this too?"

"Of course I don't believe it. That person named Du is Chinese, but he is standing high and stepping on us British people. Who can tolerate this?"

"That is to say--"

"The Governor of Hong Kong should set off firecrackers to celebrate."

"Hahaha! We should celebrate!"

"Yes, we are serious British people, and now we have finally pulled out this Chinese thorn!"

Needless to say, these words belong to those ghost guys. For them, today is a "big day".

Press conference backstage————

Hong Kong Governor MacLehose was arranging his clothes in the dressing mirror and asked the male secretary next to him: "What's going on outside?"

"Basically all the people invited have arrived."

"Where's Bailiqu?"

"He sat at the front with a group of big guys and once again promised to support all your decisions, the Governor of Hong Kong."

"Very good!" MacLehose straightened his black tie, looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly asked, "Isn't this bad for me?"

"Huh?" The male secretary was stunned.

MacLehose looked in the mirror and twisted his neck, "Looking too energetic, not sad or decadent."

"Uh, yes. Sir, you are a little too energetic today."

"This is not good, bring me a comb."

"Yes!" The male secretary quickly took the wooden comb and handed it to him.

MacLehose took the comb, messed up the neat combing, and then said to the royal makeup artist: "Come on, my dear, make me more decadent. Yes, my eyes should be red, as if I had cried. It’s also best to draw some stubble on my beard to make it look like I’m worried and unkempt…”

The royal makeup artists hired by the Hong Kong Governor's Government are all experts among experts. At MacLehose's request, a "brand new" MacLehose was soon released.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were red, and his beard was unkempt, as if he hadn't had a good rest in three to five days, and he looked listless because of excessive sadness.

"Very good, this is right! I still respect Du very much, although I am actually very happy about his death."

MacLehose snapped his fingers and said, "Get out, I'll start my speech!"

"yes!"

Everyone nearby bowed and lowered their heads.

…

"I wonder what our Lord Governor of Hong Kong is still dawdling about?" At the front of the press conference hall, Sir Bailiqu was sitting in the middle, and a ghost guy next to him said.

"The overall situation has been decided. If he doesn't hurry up and start talking, is he really trying to summon the soul of the man named Du?"

Bailiqu grabbed the crutch that was leaning on his right leg and said, "Don't be impatient! You just said it. Now the overall situation has been decided. As long as the Hong Kong Governor comes to the stage to finish his speech and appoint Li Luofu as the new Commissioner of Police, then even if his surname is Du What if he comes back alive? The Hong Kong Government is not playing house by letting him become the Commissioner of Police again."

"Haha, Sir, you are right! But this time, I got an advantage over Li Luofu. No one thought that this Chinese could become Du Yongxiao's successor and become the second Chinese police chief!" Gui Lao glanced at him with envy. Li Luofu said happily in the distance.

Baili Qu also glanced at Li Luofu.

Li Luofu was surrounded by a group of people, like stars holding the moon, and he was extremely proud.

Feeling Bailiqu's gaze, he hurriedly turned his face to look at Bailiqu, then nodded slightly towards Bailiqu with compliments in his eyes.

Bailiqu smiled and said softly to the ghost guy next to him: "So what if he becomes the police chief? He's not even a dog raised by me!"

Hearing this, the other ghost guys also looked at Bailiqu and complimented Li Luofu, and they all smiled heartily.

Yes, so what if Li Luofu, a Chinese, is sharp? So what if I become the Commissioner of Police? Isn’t it just a dog that they, the British, raise?

To be a dog, you must have the consciousness of being a dog.

Be loyal to your master and never betray him.

Perhaps Du Yongxiao is the only exception in this world.

A mere Chinese dared to challenge the authority of the British in the colony of Hong Kong. If he didn't die, who would die? !

Just when the ghost guy was feeling proud, someone announced: "The Governor of Hong Kong is here!"

Suddenly, the commotion scene became quiet.

All eyes were on the press platform.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of footsteps came.

MacLehose, dressed in black mourning clothes, strode out from the right.

He came to the podium and stood still.

The accompanying secretary who followed him handed him the prepared speech.

MacLehose took a look at the speech script and placed it on the podium, then raised his head and looked at the people in the audience.

He looked depressed, his eyes were blood red, and he looked excessively sad.

Crackling!

The Micron light flashes.

This appearance alone caused all the media to rush to take pictures.

Some media have even prepared headlines——

Hong Kong Governor MacLehose is affectionate and righteous, and the life and death of the Division Chief Du Yongxiao are uncertain!

True love appears in times of adversity!

…

MacLehose's blood-red eyes looked around, and everyone was watching him.

The place was quiet.

MacLehose compiled his speech, and then said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late!"

After a pause-——

"Perhaps everyone already knows what happened - our respected Police Commissioner Mr. To Yongxiao, the cruise ship Lucky was hijacked by pirates on the high seas three days ago."

There was a commotion.

"It turns out it's true!"

"Director Du is really in trouble."

MacLehose waited until the scene became quieter and then said: "In this regard, I have sent people over to get the news and tried to get in touch with the pirates. Unfortunately, I have not received any response so far. But -"

MacLehose looked sad.

"According to reliable information, Director Du has been kidnapped by pirates! And it has been three days now -"

"Ah, the past three days? Doesn't that mean we missed the best time for rescue?"

"Yeah, seventy-two hours have passed, and it looks like there's no good news!"

"No wonder the Governor of Hong Kong would hold a press conference at this time."

Everyone started talking again, feeling that Du Yongxiao was not saved this time.

When the scene became quiet again, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose said: "This is the specific story. Now the life or death of Director Du is uncertain. We have made arrangements. When the time comes, we will do our best to wipe out the gang of pirates who committed crimes and avenge Director Du! in addition--"

MacLehose looked around with intense eyes.

"In addition, everyone also knows that Du Yongxiao, as the Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force, has important responsibilities. Now that something happened to him, the entire police force is leaderless. We must make arrangements for this -"

At this time——

Da Tou Wen couldn't bear it any longer, stood up from his seat and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Governor, I have something to say!"

Crackling!

The media lens gave the headlines.

MacLehose frowned and said gently, "Whatever you want to say, just say it."

Datou Wen was not polite and said bravely: "As you just said, our Director Du's life or death is uncertain now. The top priority is to rescue him, not to find someone to take his place!"

There was a commotion.

No one thought that Da Tou Wen would dare to confront the Hong Kong Governor.

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly someone clapped and said: "Chief Inspector Chen, I know you are Du Yongxiao's subordinate and you are loyal to him, but..."

The camera turned.

Sir Bailiqu stood up from his seat and grabbed his crutches. He applauded first, and then looked at Datou Wen with contempt and said, "I understand your mood! But there is no leader, and the police force cannot not function normally because of him! What's more - "

Bailiqu's eyes were aggressive: "What's more, the new candidate for the police chief is also very good. Like Director Du, he is also Chinese! We hand over his power to another Chinese, which can be regarded as a tribute to Director Du. Respect! If you think there is anything wrong with doing this, speak up?!"

Bailiqu's words shocked the scene.

"Is the new police chief also Chinese?"

"Is the legend true?"

Some well-informed people couldn't help but look in Li Luofu's direction.

Li Luofu was extremely excited, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he had to try hard to hold back and make a calm gesture. He grabbed his thighs with both hands, trying not to get excited.

Datouwen did not expect Bailiqu to say this. No matter which way he looked at it, it was the pinnacle of benevolence, righteousness and truth. He was speechless.

Dou Chong Qiang, Buck Teeth Ju, Zhuang Dingxian and Ren Darong winked at him.

Only then did Da Tou Wen spit out: "Okay, I respect the Hong Kong government's decision!" After saying that, he sat down.

Bailiqu was very satisfied with Da Tou Wen's attitude of giving in. For him, none of the Chinese could beat him except Du Yong Xiao.

"I'm sorry, Lord Governor, please continue!" Bailiqu nodded towards Governor MacLehose and sat down again.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know as soon as they saw this situation that Du Yongxiao's power was about to end, and ghost guys like Bailiqu would once again take control of the overall situation.

Those ghost guys were all very proud.

The Chinese people had different expressions.

Some were discouraged, some were uncertain, and some were flattering towards those ghosts.

MacLehose picked up his speech again: "As I said just now, the position of Commissioner of Police is very important. We cannot wait until Commissioner Du returns safely. We must make a decision now and elect a new one!"

After a pause-——

"After many discussions between our Hong Kong Governor's Government, the judiciary, and the police force, we finally decided to let Director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Li Luofu temporarily act as the Commissioner of Police! Do you have any objections to this?"

Although the result had been guessed, the scene was still in an uproar.

After all, Li Luofu is also Chinese, which means that he will be the number one boss in the entire police industry in the future!

As for those who supported Li Luofu, they almost jumped up and cheered loudly at this moment.

The five tiger generals and others looked depressed.

Those who had been taken care of by Du Yongxiao also had gloomy faces.

MacLehose glanced at it and continued: "Since no one objects, then now I declare -"

Li Luofu was extremely excited, his eyes were bulging, and his hands were gripping his thighs until it hurt. He stared at the stage, waiting for the results to be announced.

Bailiqu's face was filled with a smile that said he had everything under control, and his posture was very comfortable.

Those media reporters all focused their cameras on MacLehose, the Governor of Taiwan and Hong Kong———

The entire press conference was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"Now I announce that the position of Police Commissioner will be held by Director Li Luofu Li!" MacLehose said with sharp eyes and a firm tone, "Who objects?" and looked at the audience.

quiet!

Deadly silence!

MacLehose smiled,

The overall situation is decided!

Bailiqu also laughed,

Li Luofu straightened his clothes and stood up even more excitedly——

At this time——

"Sorry, I object!"

Such a familiar voice!

Look outside again——

Coming dressed in white!

Such a familiar figure!

"He is yes--"

"Du Yongxiao!"

I don’t know who screamed loudly.

Everyone looked over together——

But I saw Du Yongxiao, dressed in white, floating over!

he,

not dead? !

on site--

boom!

Explode!

"Du Yongxiao?" MacLehose was stunned.

"How is that possible?" Bailiqu's jaw dropped.

"He's back?" Li Luofu looked stunned and dumbfounded.

"Brother Xiao!"

The five tigers will rise up and shout together.

"Director Du!"

Countless police officers stood up and saluted Du Yongxiao.

"Mr. Du?"

The business leaders all looked in front of them in disbelief.

Looking at Du Yongxiao again, he went straight to the press platform, glanced at the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, and said calmly: "Hello, Mr. Governor of Hong Kong! I - I'm back!"
