Just as Nerlaus was struggling with his decision,

Beep beep beep

The phone he had just put down suddenly rang with a crisp ring. Nerous, already feeling extremely agitated,

His thoughts were interrupted again by the noisy ringing, and he answered the phone with an impatient expression.

"Who is it calling so late at night!"

"It is I, the Governor of Hong Kong!"

When Nero heard that it was the Governor of Hong Kong who was looking for him, his expression did not improve at all; on the contrary, he became even more displeased!

The Governor of Hong Kong was considered a dove in Hong Kong and maintained a peaceful negotiating stance on the issue of handover.

Nerous's faction is a radical faction that, even if it can't stop the return, wants to plant some seeds before the return!

Will Nerous give him face, given that the two already dislike each other?

Besides, this is when Mo Ran is at his most powerful, and the Governor of Hong Kong is calling him at this time...

Is it more likely that they're there to mock him, or to offer help in his time of need?

"Governor, you're such a busy man, what brings you to call me today!"

The Governor of Hong Kong could easily detect the displeasure in Nero's tone, but he certainly hadn't come to kick someone when they were down.

They were truly there to offer timely help, so the Governor of Hong Kong ignored Nero's tone and spoke in a calm manner.

"Neraus, you know what happened at Victoria Peak, right?"

Upon hearing the Governor's question, Nerous became even more certain that the Governor had called to mock his lack of foresight.

Having already guessed the Governor's thoughts, Nerous, even if he wanted to back down to Moran, could not show it in front of the Governor!

"I know, so what!"

"You want me to go and apologize to Mo Ran with a thorn on my back?"

"You still want me to kneel in front of Mo Ran's house and beg for his forgiveness in front of all the people of Hong Kong Island!"

Hearing Nero's continued stubbornness, the Governor of Hong Kong made no attempt to hide his feigned dignity.

"I'm not here to kick you when you're down, I'm here to save you!"

"If you continue like this, then Song Changhe's fate will be your fate!"

Hearing this, Nerlaus was somewhat bewildered by the Governor's words. Although he was a little doubtful, he still stubbornly replied...

"You're comparing me to Song Changhe? That shows how much you look down on me!"

"He's nothing but my dog. If Mo Ran dares to kill a dog, he dares to mess with me!"

"Do you think the three thousand troops on Hong Kong Island are just for show?"

When the Governor heard Nero still arguing with him, he knew that Nero wouldn't back down unless he gave him a firmer approach.

"If Mo Ran doesn't dare to touch you,"

"Then why were your wife Alice and your nephew Thomas kidnapped in Macau!"

"If you really look down on Mo Ran, why haven't you taken any action while Mo Ran has openly released the videos?"

Upon hearing the Governor's words, Nero's initial confusion immediately turned into anger.

This matter had become a source of inner turmoil for him. But secrets don't stay hidden forever; his wife Alice's father, the Duke of Wellington, already knew about it.

The Duke of Wellington has now begun putting pressure on his faction on home soil, not because his Nerlaus family is not someone to be trifled with.

He, Nero, had long since stepped down from his position as deputy commissioner of police, but even so…

His family and factions have also put pressure on him; if the matter isn't resolved within a week,

They targeted Nerlaus to appease the Duke of Wellington's anger!

"Governor, what exactly do you mean?!"

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Come to me right now, and I'll personally take you to Mo Ran's house to discuss things!"

"Fuck, that handsome guy Ran is nothing but a short mule. I'm the Deputy Commissioner of Police of the Hong Kong Island Police Force. I'm going to his place to negotiate!"

"Don't I have any dignity left?!"

"Is Mo Ran still just an ordinary dwarf mule?"

Just a moment ago, Nero was incredibly assertive, but after hearing the Governor of Hong Kong say those words, he immediately lost his temper!

The person who knows you best isn't necessarily your wife who shares your bed, but your enemy who wants to kill you will definitely know you very well!

If we're talking about the entire Hong Kong Island, Nerous would definitely be in the top three if we're talking about the people who want to kill Mo Ran!

Therefore, Nerous is quite familiar with Moran's current background and power!

Mo Ran has monopolized the casino business on Hong Kong Island, and after two days of competition, media and film companies have also formed a monopoly on Hong Kong Island!

The Huo Family Bank, which was seized from Huo Zhaotang and renamed the Mo Family Bank, has been operating for some time now.

With the overt and covert assistance of the Huo and He families, the bank has not only regained its former glory, but also has a strong momentum to challenge the top three banks in Hong Kong!

As for the factories Mo Ran controls on Hong Kong Island and the Panda Shipping Company that was just established in Sai Kung, as well as Mo Ran's industries and influence in Macau and Taiwan, each of them is a behemoth on its own!

If we also include the shady businesses Mo Ran is currently involved in, such as collecting protection money, loan sharking, arms smuggling, home appliance smuggling, and cigarette and alcohol smuggling, etc.

Which family in Hong Kong dares to say they are more capable than him?

Even without including Mo Ran's shady businesses, just the Panda Group is formed by combining all the businesses that can be put on the surface!

That would allow Mo Ran to stand on equal footing with the Huo family, the Yang family, the Liu family, and the Song family, which Mo Ran had just wiped out!

If Mo Ran didn't have the ability, why would Huo Zhengguo and He Xin support him so much?
