It was as if the spotlights surrounding him yesterday had suddenly gone out, leaving only the vague figure of a foreign businessman with shallow roots.
All the talk about how innovative the Asia Times was and the praise about how Dragon Jump subverted tradition are now shrouded in huge doubts about being "rootless" and "empty gimmicks."
In the collective perception of the Hong Kong public, his identity and status seemed to have been severely cut off by an invisible blunt knife.
Ho Ying-tung stood in front of the window, overlooking the busy street below. At the end of his vision, he seemed to see the scene of people talking in front of the newsstand.
A sense of pleasure in controlling the overall situation spread in my heart.
Money? Power? Fame?
This is the real bargaining chip in Hong Kong's game. Kobayashi Tenbo?
How many hands are you able to play with those pitiful chips?
Young Master Huo thought coldly in his heart, picked up the whiskey on the table, and the amber liquid swayed lightly in the glass.
However, the storm was not over.
Almost at the same time, the printing presses of the Asia Daily roared like angry beasts.
Today, the headline on its front page was even bolder and darker, like a bolt of black lightning striking across Hong Kong Island: "Fatty Kun personally testifies: Shangguan Xiaobao and Wong Yuk-long were behind the scenes, while Peter Ho, out of jealousy, instigated the sabotage of the printing of 'Dragon Jump'!!"
This explosive headline was like a super bomb, exploding over Hong Kong Island, which had not yet fully digested the reports from Oriental Daily and Sing Tao Daily!
In an instant, the expressions of people on the streets who had been sneering at Kobayashi Tenmo just a moment ago were frozen in disbelief and astonishment.
"…According to reliable sources, Wang Kun (nicknamed Fatty Kun) personally admitted last night under tight police protection that the sabotage of the second issue of Dragon Jump's printing plan and the smashing of the factory and machinery were orchestrated by someone else!
The mastermind behind the incident was directly pointed at Wong Yuk-long, president of comic giant Yuk-long International, and Shangguan Xiaobao, owner of the 82 Painting Society.
According to Feizai Kun's confession, Shangguan and Huang personally came forward to use threats and inducements, and provided a specific action plan and funds.
What is even more shocking is that Feizai Kun identified the ultimate instigator of all this as Mr. Huo Zhenting, the young master of the Huo Group!
The motive can be attributed to the word "jealousy" - jealousy of the huge sensation caused by Mr. Kobayashi Tenno's rapid momentum in entering the media and comics industry!
And more importantly, they are jealous of her close interaction with Miss Hong Kong candidate Liu Rumeng.
The Hong Kong police have already started investigating the specific details..."
Every word and sentence was so powerful that it penetrated the paper, and the spearhead was directed directly at Ho Sin-ting himself without any hesitation!
In the editorial office of Asia Daily, the lights in the editor-in-chief's office remained on all night.
Lin Huowang sat behind a large desk with the front pages of today's major newspapers spread out in front of him.
His fingers slowly slid across the newspapers, a smile on his face.
It seems that Mr. Huo has taken action, directing the focus to equity and board seats.
As for me, I'm going to flip the table.
Report this to the police station and let outsiders know that the Huo family and I are at war to the death.
Fatty Kun?
I'm sorry, it's better to stay in jail than to be silenced outside.
Accusation? False accusation?
Anyway, it was Fatty Kun who pointed it out...
He quickly reviewed the plan in his mind: the news was released, pointing the finger at Shangguan and Huang, and Ho Chun-ting would definitely be too proud of his status to directly contact Fatty Kun. His piece in the chain of evidence was the most difficult to fill, but his name was included in the testimony, and that was enough!
This time...
How will Peter Ho deal with the news?
It's a police investigation!
Just the way they acted was enough to cause an uproar in public opinion.
Countless thoughts were churning in Lin Huowang's mind. This move was both a brilliant and a risky one.
He had no way back and could only play along and muddy the waters completely.
Next, he can justifiably start using money to buy up shares of various listed companies, just for the sake of this fight for pride, to smash the label of "rootless duckweed", and at the same time start an open dispute with Peter Ho over equity and directors!
In this way, everything seems so logical, and it is difficult for outsiders to see the tricks behind it and his real calculations.
…
The report from Asia Times swept through the city like a hurricane.
Before people had time to recover from the cognitive gap caused by the previous newspaper, this even more powerful bomb followed.
The discussion was like boiling water:
"Crazy line!
Young Master Huo is using a shady trick?
Because of jealousy? ? "
The owner of a street newsstand had his glasses slipped down his nose as he stared at the headline of the Asia Daily, an egg so big that it could fit in his mouth.
"Fatty Kun testified personally?! Is that really that explosive!
Are Shangguan Xiaobao and Huang Yulang involved?"
Several white-collar workers gathered around the newsstand exchanged doubtful glances. "Why would Mr. Huo spend so much money on a Japanese guy...who the newspapers say has no money?"
"Jealous? Tsk tsk... If that's true, Young Master Huo is quite narrow-minded!"
The direction of discussion in the tea restaurant suddenly changed, from contempt for Kobayashi Tenwang to speculation and scrutiny of Ho Chun-ting's motives.
"Have you seen it?
I said there must be something fishy behind this!
How could a big boss fall so easily?"
The young man in the attic of Kowloon Walled City clenched his fists. The image of Kobayashi Tianwang, who had just been shortened by the Oriental Daily News, suddenly rose a few points in his mind, and even carried a sense of tragedy of being suppressed by a big boss.
It turns out he wasn't incompetent, but was stabbed in the back?!
An even more touching scene occurred in the afternoon.
