Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"You seem to be looking forward to Du's speech on stage?"

Boss Li of Li Jiacheng was observant and asked with a smile when he saw Li Zhaoheng's expression.

"Did you see it?" Li Zhaoheng turned to look at Boss Li.

"The look on your face makes it hard for me not to see it."

"It seems that my expression control needs to be strengthened." Lee Zhaoheng shrugged, "It's not a good thing if you, Boss Li, can see that?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You'll know soon." After Lee Siu-heng finished speaking, he pointed at the stage with his cigar between his fingers, "Watch the show first!"

Boss Li looked puzzled, but stopped asking questions and turned to look at the press desk.

Amid applause, Du Yongxiao walked out.

Everyone is curious about this legendary police chief and business tycoon.

In particular, Du Yongxiao is relatively mysterious. Even as the Commissioner of Police, he often does not appear in public. Even when he appears on TV, he lets representatives appear and hides himself behind him.

It can be said that To Yongxiao, the Chinese Police Commissioner, is the Police Commissioner with the least "presence" in Hong Kong. The presence here refers to exposure, not power.

Seeing Du Yongxiao appear, those media reporters who were interviewing Du Yongxiao for the first time whispered -——

"Wow, our police commissioner turns out to be so young!"

"More than just young, he is simply young and promising!" Another person said, "Haven't you heard that he is not only the Commissioner of Police, but also the president of the Du Group and owns a huge business empire!"

"It's really sharp!"

"Yeah, it's so frustrating to compare people to each other. People like us are still struggling to make a living, while others are already at the peak of their lives!"

The other side————

"Have you heard? This Mr. Du has the nicknames 'Blood-Hand Human Slaughter' and 'Street Cleaning Tiger'. He used to be as famous as the four detectives and he was ruthless!"

"Bragging! He is so handsome and gentle, how could he be that kind of executioner with bloody hands?"

"This is what people call appearances! If nothing else, look at the momentum he had when he first appeared. Who can compare to him?"

"That's true! I just saw that he was so powerful when he appeared on stage. He was stronger than the business tycoons and political bigwigs I interviewed! By the way, does the Governor of Hong Kong MacLehose know? I have also interviewed him, and I feel that his momentum is also strong. Not as good as this Mr. Du!”

"Shut up, don't say that!"

"Why?"

"This is Hong Kong. Hong Kong is governed by the British, and the Governor of Hong Kong is the biggest! If your words are heard and spread to the Governor's Office, how will those ghosts live?"

"Well?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, then laughed.

…

"First of all, thank you for taking the time to attend this Mingpao press conference despite your busy schedule!"

"Maybe many people have heard that our Du Group has taken a stake in Ming Pao. We uphold Ming Pao's fairness and justice, and our remarks are true and we will continue to grow and develop!"

"Some time ago, there were many rumors from the outside world, saying that I had a personal grudge with Ming Pao, and that I burned Ming Pao, etc. I retain the right to pursue these untrue remarks. No matter who it is, they must be responsible for their irresponsible slander! "

"Hong Kong is a city of freedom, but not a city of lawlessness. Speech can be free, but nonsense cannot be made, especially unrestricted slander against anyone. This is a violation of human rights and a challenge to the law!"

Du Yongxiao's words suddenly became fierce.

Everyone at the scene became excited.

"It looks like the legends are all false!"

"Yeah, why set fire to Mingpao? It's fake at first glance!"

"How could a person with status and status like Mr. Du do such a thing?"

All the smart and educated people present at the scene took Du Yongxiao's side and believed that these were slanders against Du Yongxiao.

"This Du Yongxiao is a master of public speaking." Li Zhaoheng looked at Du Yongxiao on the stage, blew out a smoke ring, and showed appreciation on his face.

"Only you know? I have fought against him several times. This guy named Du knows how to manipulate public opinion, even..." Boss Li hesitated, "He will let public opinion follow him!"

Thinking of the public opinion war with Du Yongxiao a few years ago, he originally won, but was led by Du Yongxiao in the end. Thinking of this, Boss Li was still frightened.

"Now, at this moment!" Du Yongxiao stood on the stage with sharp eyes, "I want to say something to those who have evil intentions-"

Du Yongxiao raised his finger, "People are doing it, God is watching!"

Ding!

For some reason, after Du Yongxiao finished speaking, Li Zhaoheng suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Especially when he looked at Du Yongxiao, he felt that Du Yongxiao's eyes were also looking at him.

Lee Zhaoheng hurriedly stabilized his emotions.

He rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch. It was almost time, and he saw that Du Yongxiao was about to finish speaking on the stage——

Li Tiansheng, the confidant next to him, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward.

"What are your arrangements?"

"Don't worry, boss, everything has been arranged."

"Already arranged? Why hasn't there been any movement yet?"

"this?"

Li Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time.

At this moment---

Bang bang bang!

Applause started again.

It turned out that Du Yongxiao said a few more words on the stage and had already finished speaking.

Li Zhaoheng suddenly felt a very subtle feeling in his heart, which was the scent he smelled when he encountered danger.

Du Yongxiao chatted with Jin Yong and others on the stage.

Although Jin Yong, Shen Baoxin and others were very unhappy with him, they were helpless.

At least Du Yongxiao has just clarified the facts and proved that the burning of Ming Pao was a misunderstanding.

What's more, this time Du Yongxiao gave Jin Yong and others face. Not only did he apologize to Jin Yong and others, saying that he did not explain clearly in advance when he took the Ming Pao stake, he also said that he admired Jin Yong as a person and was a fan of Jin Yong's martial arts novels. He smiled and said that he wanted to have a long chat with Jin Yong when he had time, and asked Jin Yong to write an inscription for his study, etc.

What is Du Yongxiao's status?

Being able to say such words immediately made Jin Yong feel bright in his face. His previous hatred for Du Yongxiao was completely wiped out. He even felt that he was not as generous as Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao looked at the changes in attitudes of Jin Yong, Shen Baoxin and others, and laughed in his heart.

Since ancient times, literati have been the best. Military generals love money, and literati love reputation. As long as you give the other party enough face, the other party will put aside their grudges and smile away with you.

After dealing with Jin Yong and others, Du Yongxiao had completely connected with Mingpao. This would make it easier for Huang Ying to help him station and manage Mingpao in the future.

After doing all this, Du Yongxiao looked at the people in the audience and locked his eyes on the target - Li Zhaoheng.

Li Zhaoheng happened to look towards him as well.

The two people's eyes clashed in the air, sparks flying invisibly.

Du Yongxiao smiled, ignored the reporters coming from the audience, and walked towards Lee Zhaoheng.

Li Zhaoheng narrowed his eyes,

Get ready to fight!

…

"Hello, Mr. Lee!"

Du Yongxiao walked up to Li Zhaoheng and said hello with a smile.

"Mr. Du, hello!" Li Zhaoheng said with a sly smile.

"You seem to be waiting for me?"

"Really? Why don't I think so?"

Lee Siu-heng spread his hands, looking joking.

"But I see your expression is like this." Du Yongxiao said, "What do you seem to be waiting for?"

"Haha, what can I wait for? I know the truth, Mr. Du?"

"I'm not the one with roundworms in your stomach, how do I know?"

"That's it. If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. We are all civilized people. All random speculations that are not based on reality are disrespectful to each other."

Du Yongxiao applauded, "Sharp! I have learned a lesson! It turns out that Mr. Li is such a noble person!"

"Uh, Gao Dashang?"

Lee Siu-heng was stunned by this new word, but he immediately understood it and said with a smile: "We are each other. We are all respectable people. We must maintain grace in our speech and behavior."

Du Yongxiao nodded, "Indeed, we are all people with status and status, and we must maintain grace in our speech and behavior. So, let me ask - what are you waiting for?"

"What do you mean?" Li Zhaoheng became alert.

Du Yongxiao's eyes pierced: "You understand, don't you?"

Next to him, Boss Li from Li Jiacheng looked confused and didn't know what kind of riddle Du Yongxiao and Li Zhaoheng were playing.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand!" Lee Zhaoheng snorted.

Du Yongxiao smiled: "Then I have to say sorry, they won't come."

"What do you mean they won't come?"

"You know, the people you arranged to assassinate me!"

boom!

The scene exploded.

Boss Li was even more stunned. What do you mean, Li Zhaoheng wants to assassinate Du Yongxiao?

The media reporters were even more shocked.

Big revelation!

Li Zhaoheng wants to assassinate Du Yongxiao? !

"Mr. Du, what do you mean by this?"

"Mr. Du, can you explain it more clearly?"

"Mr. Du, please give me a reply!"

The reporters rushed forward and asked Du Yongxiao questions.

Du Yongxiao ignored them at all.

Look directly at Lee Zhaoheng.

"Answer me, yes or no?"

"Slander! This is pure slander!"

Li Zhaoheng said angrily.

"I want to sue you for personal assault, slander, frame-up, and damage to my reputation!"

Looking at Lee Zhaoheng who was about to jump up and point at his nose and curse, Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "Really, is it me who slandered you, or is it the truth? I think it's better to let the facts speak for themselves!"

Everyone around them also became excited.

Big news!

Super big news!

Du Yongxiao challenges Lee Siu-heng!

Especially the reporters from Ming Pao, who are the home team, are even more excited at this moment.

Who would have thought that Du Yongxiao would bring such big news to Mingpao just after he joined Mingpao.

"Speak with facts? Hahaha! Du Yongxiao, do you think I will be afraid of you? Come on, show me your facts!" Li Zhaoheng was not afraid at all.

There was even more commotion among the people around.

The overall atmosphere became tense and exciting.

"You want evidence, don't you? I'll satisfy you! Someone, bring me here!"

Following Du Yongxiao's order, Datouwen escorted Xigui and Wutou in from the outside.

"Director, I will bring you here!"

Datouwen stood at attention and saluted Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao nodded and said to the reporters around him: "Everyone, please look clearly. Am I slandering Mr. Li, or is it Mr. Li who has done something shameful and feels guilty?"

Before the reporters could react———

Xi Gui and Wu Tou immediately pointed at Li Zhaoheng and said, "It's him! It's him! He ordered us to set the fire!"

"That's right, he was the one who ordered us to set fire to Ming Pao! He said that by doing so, we could put the blame on Mr. Du! Oh, oh, oh, we are innocent, we are just following orders."

Xigui and Wutou burst into tears in front of the media.

"What nonsense!" Li Zhaoheng pointed at Xigui and Wutou while holding a cigar: "You two losers, how dare you slander me here? Do I know you? Have I seen you? You actually said that I was the mastermind behind the arson. It's outrageous!"

"Yes, do you know Mr. Li? Have you seen Mr. Li?" As Li Zhaoheng's trusted subordinate, Li Tiansheng stood up and reprimanded.

Xigui and Wutou were speechless, "This--"

"What this and that? Falsely accusing others is a serious crime!" Li Tiansheng said angrily, "Especially for the two of you, the one who falsely accused Mr. Li is such a big shot!"

Xigui and Wutou looked at each other.

At the first moment, they pointed their spearheads at Li Tiansheng: "Although we haven't seen him, we have seen you! Every time you give orders on his behalf!"

"Yes, I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes!"

Li Tiansheng's face changed: "Don't make trouble here. You just framed Mr. Li, and now you are accusing me. You are hopeless!"

After saying this, Li Tiansheng turned around and said to the media reporters: "Everyone, look carefully, the two of them are some low-class and low-class little people. How can you take them seriously based on one-sided words? Especially Mr. Li is a respected person. As for me, I have never even met them!"

There was a commotion at the scene.

"Yes, who is Mr. Li, how could he contact such a little person?"

"The Li family is a well-known big shot, they won't do that!"

"It must be these two little gangsters who are making false accusations!"

Listening to these discussions, Xigui and Wutou felt extremely wronged for the first time in their lives.

They told the truth, but no one believed them!

In the past, they liked to talk nonsense and brag to others, and didn't think it was important to tell the truth. Now they know that the biggest tragedy in the world is that no one believes the truth.

Li Zhaoheng was very proud when he saw this.

Li Tiansheng smiled at him, meaning that you don't need to bother to take action against these two little bastards, just watch me help you.

The people around also collectively stood on Li Zhaoheng's side. After all, one side is a gangster and the other side is a tycoon. Everyone would believe a decent person like Li Zhaoheng.

Just when Li Zhaoheng and Li Tiansheng were feeling proud---

A voice said: "I can testify! Li Zhaoheng is a sinner! He hired me to set fire to Ming Pao, and he also instigated me to assassinate Du Yongxiao!"

As he spoke, a strong man limped in from outside and was supported by someone.

Li Tiansheng was shocked when he saw the person coming: "Why is it him?"

Looking at the man again, it turned out to be Lian Haolong, the brother of Zhongxinyi boss Lian Haolong--Lian Haodong!

Li Zhaoheng frowned even more: "What's going on?"

Du Yongxiao stepped forward, approached Li Zhaoheng, and whispered: "You know the situation best! Hey, there are many reporters watching, come on, smile! After all, you are a Hong Kong business tycoon, you can't give in at this time--"

Li Zhaoheng was so angry that his lungs almost exploded, but he could only force a smile and pretend that nothing had happened, and said coldly: "I don't even know who this person is! I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Be prepared and deny it to the death!
