At ten o'clock in the morning, as the media storm continued to ferment in Hong Kong Island, the inaugural issue of Asia Times, with the warmth of ink, finally spread across newsstands and convenience stores across Hong Kong.
Under the bombardment of "strange tactics" from many old-established newspapers, the "Asia Times" launched a series of three moves as soon as it appeared. Each move was tricky and ruthless, hitting the vital points directly, and it was also full of the spirit of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
The first one is spicy!
The front-page headline read: "A wealthy young master devises a variety of schemes to capture a beautiful woman; who is the real culprit in the printing factory robbery?! — Detailed account of the secrets behind the dispute between Timothy Fok and Xiaolin Tianwang."
The article is extremely detailed, even accurate to the date, place and characters, and clearly describes how Ho Ying-ting became dissatisfied with the "sudden rise" of Kobayashi Tianwang after paying attention to Liu Rumeng because of the Miss Hong Kong competition, and the details of the verbal confrontations between the two in public and semi-public occasions.
The writing style appears objective, but it actually contains hidden meanings. Every word and sentence portrays Ho Sin-ting as a man who is jealous and hateful and uses all means to suppress his juniors.
Even more fatal is that the article cleverly links the recent difficulties encountered by the comic magazine "Dragon Jump" - loss of readers, printing chaos, and unstable artists - with Huo Zhenting, pointing out that
"There is reason to believe that Mr. Huo was dissatisfied with Kobayashi Tenou setting up his own company, "Weekly Shonen Jump," which became a strong rival to "Dragon Jump," so he took his anger out on all of Mr. Kobayashi's properties."
At the end of the article, they dropped a bombshell, claiming, "According to reliable sources, our newspaper has obtained key evidence and photos, directly pointing out that the recent destruction of Mr. Kobayashi's comic printing factory was actually done by Fatty Kun, who was instructed by someone else!"
It is said that this Fatty Kun is a capable subordinate of Hong Kong comics tycoon Shangguan Xiaobao. Two days ago, someone saw Shangguan Xiaobao and Wong Yuk-long personally visiting the Fok Group to meet Mr. Fok.
Once the evidence is submitted to the police, everyone from Fatty Kun to his masterminds and the prominent figures involved in this matter will inevitably face jail time and be in trouble!
No one named Ho Chun-ting as the mastermind, but every paragraph pointed to him, and every word of "distinguished person" was like a poisoned dagger.
This report flew directly into Shangguan Xiaobao's office like a precision-guided bomb.
Shangguan Xiaobao held the Asia Daily as if he were holding a red-hot iron, his fingers trembling slightly.
He felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his throat.
The ink handwriting on the newspaper was distorted and magnified in front of his eyes, especially the words "Fatty Kun", "Evidence Photo", "Trouble", and "Distinguished Person", which were like the tongues of a poisonous snake, biting his nerves.
"Street thug!
Kobayashi Tenbo!
You...you are so vicious!"
Shangguan Xiaobao squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, his voice hoarse.
He slammed the newspaper onto the mahogany desk with a dull thud.
He was not angry, he was afraid, a biting fear like being stared at by a poisonous snake.
How can this be considered a report?
This is clearly a death warrant for him!
His mind raced, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became: Put the blame on him!
By writing this, Kobayashi Tianwang accurately threw the dirty water on Ho Ying-tung's head!
Who is Mr. Huo?
That is the arrogant eldest son of the Huo family!
If he saw the newspaper, he would definitely think - this matter has become so serious, if it wasn't him, Shangguan Xiaobao, who deliberately leaked it to the Asia Daily, who else could it be?
Ho Chun-ting will be the first to blame him!
By then...how could a small comic book company owner like him bear the wrath of the Huo family?
To take a step back, even if Ho Chun-ting still had some sanity and knew that the news was not necessarily leaked by his Shangguan Xiaobao, the matter was exposed to the public and public opinion was in an uproar.
What must Ho Chun-ting do to prove his innocence and that he has nothing to do with such despicable means?
I must immediately distance myself from this matter!
How to distance yourself from it?
What is the fastest and most ruthless way?
Just push Shangguan Xiaobao, the culprit, out!
Sacrificing the car to save the driver is the trick these rich kids are best at!
He, Shangguan Xiaobao, is the abandoned "car"!
What's more, this matter had nothing to do with Huo Zhenting. It was only when the two of them went to the Huo Group to find him that day that someone linked them together.
He seemed to have seen Ho Ying-tung's cold eyes and the ruthless suppression that followed.
Finally, what made Shangguan Xiaobao even more angry and frightened was the possibility that Fatty Kun might betray him!
Because the most sinister thing hidden in this news is Fatty Kun!
Once the photos are submitted to the police station, Fatty Kun will be charged with property damage. If the evidence is conclusive, he will not be able to escape to Stanley Prison!
What kind of person is Fatty Kun?
He's just a little thug who bullies the weak and fears the strong!
Shangguan Xiaobao knows his subordinates too well.
In order to protect himself, Fatty Kun will definitely turn around and bite him immediately!
He would definitely beg Kobayashi Tianwang to spare him like a stray dog, and then tell Kobayashi Tianwang everything, including how Wong Yuk-lang and his Shangguan Xiaobao planned it, and even directly slanderously pointed out how Ho Chun-ting hinted and even pressured him!
This is the token of allegiance!
Kobayashi Tenwang is definitely killing someone with a borrowed knife!
Borrow the Thunderous Fury Sword of Peter Ho and the betrayal sword of Fatty Kun to cut him and Wong Yuk-long into pieces together!
This plan is closely linked, with each link being precisely targeted. It is both ruthless and an open and aboveboard conspiracy!
It can be said that Shangguan Xiaobao was completely nailed down by this report!
