More than one citizen passing by the Fok Building in the heart of Hong Kong Island hurriedly spread the mysterious message from a public telephone booth or during afternoon gatherings: "Hey! Do you know?
I passed by the Huo family’s door at noon, and I actually saw a police car parked downstairs!
It’s not a police van, it’s a private car, and it has the words CID (Criminal Intelligence Department) printed on it!
Park right next to the gate!"
"Did you see anyone being taken away?"
“That’s not the case.
The Huo family's security was so tight that even the reflection from the glass door made it impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.
But it’s true that the police car is parked there!
There is no wind without waves..."
For a time, the news that "police cars appeared at the door of the Huo Building" spread like wildfire and quickly became the new topic of conversation on the streets.
Regardless of the truth, Fatty Kun's testimony and the appearance of the police car were like two red-hot iron sticks that immediately pinned Ho Chun-ting, who had just been looking down on his opponent from the high ground of public opinion, to the "forefront" of the public's attention.

You're crazy!
A reckless wild dog!
You actually dare to bite back?
Do you think you can win by mentioning my name?
What will my father think?
The Huo family has always valued reputation, and now, the family's reputation...
Anger churned and surged in his chest.
He picked up the intercom and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Ah Wei? Go check!
Where did that police car come from?
Who gave them permission to park in front of our door?!
And where are the lawyers? Tell them to come here immediately!"
He forced himself to calm down. He had to stop the loss immediately and classify this matter as defamation!
As the media storm and the status of the two key figures spiraled downward like a roller coaster...
