After the teasing ended, Riel spoke up.

"Mr. Gao, I'm truly sorry for the unexpected turn of events regarding Zhang Chongbang!"

I hope this won't affect our relationship!

Seeing how humble this foreigner, Riel, was, Gao Ren knew that the old man definitely had a lot of assets in Hong Kong that he couldn't transfer out!

Otherwise, why would a high-ranking foreigner be so polite to a short mule supported by the North?

"Mr. Riel, you underestimate the bond between us!"

"What are we? We're brothers who've even slept together in the same office, risking our lives together!"

What are the three ironclad principles of life?

"We fought together, spent time in prison together, and visited prostitutes together!"

Upon hearing this, Riel paused for a few seconds, then burst into laughter.

"brother!"

"I'll call you that from now on!"

"Good brother!"

After replying, Gao Ren asked again,

"Brother, besides the Governor of Hong Kong, who else is protecting Zhang Chongbang?"

Faced with Gao Ren's question, Riel answered without hesitation.

"Huo Zhaotang!"

Upon hearing this name, Gao Ren immediately revealed a mischievous smile!

Anyone who has ever dealt with Gao Ren knows from that wicked grin that Gao Ren is planning to kill, burn, and seize his family's assets...

"Brother, to be honest!"

"I want to seize Huo's Bank, which is under Huo Zhaotang's name. I wonder whose interests I'll be jeopardizing!"

When Riel saw Gao Ren being so direct, he showed a slightly bewildered expression.

But inside, she was already overjoyed...

Why? It's simple!

Gao Ren didn't hide anything from me, which means there's nothing wrong with the thing I asked Gao Ren to do!

If there's a problem, will he tell himself these things?

"Brother, you've come to the right person about this!"

"I guarantee that there are no more than three people on the entire island of Hong Kong who know about this than I do!"

"If you want to rob the Huo family bank, HSBC will take care of all your problems, not to mention anything else!"

Upon hearing this answer, Gao Ren's face immediately showed a hint of doubt.

"Dude, just be blunt!"

Despite Gao Ren's urging, Riel did not speak directly.

Instead, he got up, picked up a bottle of red wine that looked expensive, poured two glasses, and handed them to Gao Ren and Fang Ting.

He poured himself another glass, watching Riel raise his glass.

Gao Ren then raised his glass and clinked it against his.

After downing a glass of wine, Riel said with a look of enjoyment,

"Because those guys who just came from the mainland, in order to pull all of us onto the ship,"

"So they set their sights on HSBC!"

"Mr. Gao, as you know, the salaries of all civil servants on Hong Kong Island are paid through HSBC,"

"Eighty percent of cheque transactions exceeding HK$100,000 in Hong Kong Island are conducted using HSBC cheques!"

"The Hong Kong stock market... needless to say,"

"So, in order to get us to target you, brother, they wanted to gain complete control of HSBC!"

"In this way, we have no choice but to stand with them for the sake of money!"

What Riel said all this actually boils down to one sentence!

All the money they've embezzled over the years has been linked to HSBC!

If HSBC falls into the hands of those people, then all the money that Riel and his cronies embezzled will flow into their hands!

As for how to force HSBC to comply... it was through Fok Bank, the largest private bank on Hong Kong Island!

"Thanks for the reminder, brother!"

Seeing Gao Ren raise his glass, Riel clinked his glass against Gao Ren's and said...

"What's a little trouble for my good brother!"

"But I still have to remind you, brother, although HSBC will help you!"

"But there will still be some people within HSBC who will try to trip you up!"

"After all, you know that wherever there are people, there are factions..."

Is this a difficult task for Gao Ren?

It's true that there are factions, but as long as he's human!

He was afraid that the bullets he had were 5.56 caliber!

"These guys are fine. At worst, I'll just send someone with Type 56 assault rifles to find them!"

After saying that, Gao Ren spoke again.

"Brother, my little brother caused some trouble in Tsim Sha Tsui today..."

At this point, Gao Ren pressed his hand down... and Riel, understanding what Gao Ren meant,

Then, with a serious expression, he said,

"Brother, aren't all your men law-abiding citizens who have paid social insurance and housing provident fund contributions?"

"How could a law-abiding citizen do something illegal!"

"The person who committed the shooting in the street in Tsim Sha Tsui is definitely the Jiang brothers fighting over the inheritance!"

"What does this have to do with your employees, brother!"

Seeing Riel say this with such a serious expression, for some reason,

Gao Ren immediately recalled the classic quote from Dean Chen, who loved learning English!

The right of interpretation is in my hands; whoever I say is whoever I say!

If Riel is now playing the role of Dean Chen, then how could Gao Ren not play Director Qi!

"Good brother,"

"You've taken care of my affairs, and I've also taken care of yours!"

"My superiors up north sent me a message: as long as you brothers don't cause trouble,"

"Nothing will happen to any of your legal income in Hong Kong!"

"And in the next couple of days, the north will personally send someone to discuss this matter with you!"
