The car started quickly, surged forward with a deep roar, and sped away, leaving only a trail of black smoke behind.
After getting into the car, Li Zekai asked, "Is there anything to eat?"
Li Zeju rummaged around for a moment, then said, "Yes, yes, yes."
He found a bag of bread and two bottles of water.
He helped Li Zekai tear open the bread bag and then opened the water bottle cap for him.
Li Zekai took it and started eating it in big mouthfuls, while also gulping down water.
During that day and night, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, suffering immense physical and mental damage. He barely ate or slept, and with his finger severed and so much blood lost, he was utterly weak.
Only then did he truly relax.
It was this relaxed state of mind that made him fall asleep quickly, with a large piece of bread still in his mouth.
Li Zeju looked at him, a little worried, and was about to wake him up when Li Jiacheng stopped him, saying, "It's alright, let him sleep. I don't think it's a particularly serious injury, it shouldn't be life-threatening."
The car sped along, running several red lights.
They soon rushed into the parking lot of St. Mary's Hospital.
Soon, Li Zekai arrived at the hospital's emergency department, accompanied by Li Zeju, Li Ka-shing, and bodyguards.
When Li Jiacheng revealed his identity, the nurse who received him was shocked.
While arranging her medical appointment, she called the on-duty doctor.
The on-duty doctor was also shocked and immediately took him to the operating room to prepare for the operation.
Finally, the hospital director arrived and personally arranged the surgery for Li Zekai.
They invited the attending physician, who had already left work, back.
The attending physician was the renowned surgical expert Leung Ka-yan, who was also invited back to the hospital to personally perform surgery on Richard Li.
The scene that unfolded at St. Mary's Hospital quickly became known to the outside world.
Reporters flocked to Li Ka-shing, wanting to interview him, but he refused them all.
However, the news still got out from the medical staff.
The news that Li Ka-shing's son had been rescued and was receiving treatment at St. Mary's Hospital quickly spread to all levels, especially among families and organizations that were concerned about the matter.
Countless people are lamenting and marveling at Li Ka-shing's swift action in accomplishing such a difficult task.
They missed a great opportunity, a chance to make a fortune.
If this matter is delayed any longer, say until the stock market opens tomorrow, it will certainly cause enormous damage to Li Ka-shing's businesses.
They could also make a fortune from this, and even continue to attack the Li family.
The opportunity is gone now.
Some people are ready to give up.
Many others were unwilling to give up and decided to continue targeting Li Ka-shing.
The kidnapping case involving the Li family's descendants is the best focus.
They can throw any mud at their family to sow discord within the Li family.
They even came up with themes, such as:
"Li Zeju was greatly disappointed, and Li Zekai returned."
"Li Ka-shing refused to pay the ransom, resulting in his son's fingers being cut off."
"The Li family feud, an internal power struggle within a wealthy family."
"When brothers quarrel, the kidnappers have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
“Li Zekai’s decadent lifestyle is the main reason he was kidnapped.”
"The Li family's businesses suffered a severe setback in order to pay the exorbitant ransom."
...
Chen Dong also received news that Li Zekai had been rescued.
However, Xiang Huaqiang came to report to him personally, with Wangcai following behind him.
Xiang Huasheng looked regretful and said, "Mr. Chen, I didn't expect Li Jiacheng to be so decisive. The matter was resolved before the night was even over."
Wangcai said from the side, with great regret, "But in this way, we have lost a good opportunity."
"Yes, I thought we could take this opportunity to make a fortune and also take advantage of Li Ka-shing."
Chen Dong remained calm, merely smiling slightly, and then said, "What's the big deal? Li Ka-shing rose from a poor boy to become the richest man in Hong Kong; he's certainly not someone who can be easily defeated. To put it bluntly, he's experienced more thrilling moments in the business world than most people."
Wangcai remarked with deep feeling, "Indeed, a wealthy merchant like him would have been a great general in ancient times, or even a founding emperor. He built his empire from scratch."
Hearing Ma Guoliang say this, Xiang Huaqiang nodded repeatedly.
Xiang Huaqiang recalled his own experience and compared it with Li Ka-shing's rise to power.
He was filled with regret, realizing that he had wasted most of his life.
He felt that his background was much better than Li Ka-shing's, but his limited perspective and opportunities restricted his way of thinking, preventing him from achieving great success.
If it weren't for Chen Dong's advice, he would still be just a gangster, not worth mentioning.
In contrast, Li Ka-shing had already set his goals when he was almost penniless.
Of course, his success was inseparable from the support of his father-in-law, Mr. Zhuang Jing'an.
However, the most important thing is that he himself has this ability.
After all, there are far more incompetent people in this world who can't be helped.
Chen Dong continued, "In short, we should never underestimate Li Jiacheng. There's a reason why he's called 'Superman'."
Xiang Huaqiang: "That's right, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames."
After listening to Chen Dong's words, Wangcai was still not giving up. "Then we still have a chance, right? I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that we really shouldn't miss."
Chen Dong thought for a moment and said, "It depends on how you look at it. The Li family has suffered a great calamity and is currently in a weak position. There will definitely be many people who want to take advantage of their misfortune, but it will also arouse sympathy. After all, he has been in business for so long and has a wide network of connections. There will definitely be many people who will stand up to help him."
"However, his actions of paying the ransom and refusing to cooperate with the police will also provoke dissatisfaction from the Hong Kong government, especially the police."
“At the very least, we can sow discord among him and make a fuss about his relationship with the Hong Kong government, forcing him to invest more energy and money in that area.”
"As long as we weaken his strength, we will have an opportunity, or rather, create an opportunity for others."
Upon hearing Chen Dong's words, Wangcai and Xiang Huaqiang's eyes lit up.
Indeed, given the opportunity, they are likely to profit from the process.
Xiang Huaqiang said, "By the way, I got some information that a large part of Li Ka-shing's ransom was borrowed from underground banks through collateral. I wonder if we can make use of this information."
Chen Dong said, "Of course, this is extremely useful."
“At least in terms of liquidity, Li Ka-shing will definitely be short of funds. If we suppress his stock now, it will definitely make him lose focus. We should try to buy in at a lower price when his stock price falls.”
“Yes, we can do this.” Wangcai’s expression was greatly excited.
