Li Ka-shing nodded and recounted his affair with Zhang Shiqiang from beginning to end, saying, "What I don't understand is that Zhang Shiqiang had already taken HK$1 billion, and my son had been released by him, so why would he still target me? Could it be that something went wrong with the HK$1 billion, and someone else stole it using my name?"
Li Wenbin said, "Judging from the meaning on the card, not only was HK$1 billion stolen, but Zhang Shiqiang himself almost died at their hands. Sir Li, is it really not your men who did it?"
Li Ka-shing said helplessly, "When it comes to rescuing hostages, you police are the experts. For my son's safety, I don't even dare to use you, let alone my security personnel."
Li Wenbin frowned and said, "Mr. Li Zekai was kidnapped, and even the media didn't report it. Sir Li, besides yourself and the police, who else did you tell?"
Li Ka-shing's eyes lit up. He said, "Only Shen Dong. I initially thought he was the one who kidnapped Ze Kai, so Superintendent Li Xiu and I went directly to him. Yes, it must be Shen Dong. He came from Hung Hing and has a large group of elite soldiers under his command. It's very likely that Shen Dong found Zhang Shiqiang and used my name to take out HK$1 billion. I even suspect that he deliberately let Zhang Shiqiang go, just to cause me trouble."
If Shen Dong were here, he would definitely give Li Ka-shing a thumbs up, because his prediction was completely correct.
Li Wenbin nodded and said, "That's highly likely, but we have no evidence. Even if you told Zhang Shiqiang this speculation, he might not believe it."
Li Ka-shing sighed and said, "Shen Dong is a real headache."
Li Wenbin gave him a deep look and said, "Sir Li, Shen Dong was just the right-hand man of Uncle Bo, the boss of Tuen Mun. In just two years, he has grown to where he is today. This is something that no ordinary person can do. What is most frightening is that we know that Shen Dong has done a lot of illegal and criminal things, but we can't find a single piece of evidence. This shows that he was preparing to clear his name two years ago."
Li Ka-shing said, "Deliberately planning and taking steps one at a time, that's impressive."
Li Wenbin took out his mobile phone and said, "Regardless of whether Shen Dongcheng admits it or not, the call still needs to be made."
The call connected quickly.
The sound of clinking glasses and exchanging toasts came from across the table.
"I am Shen Dong, and who are you?"
"I am Li Wenbin."
"Oh, it's Inspector Li. You didn't come to see me about the bombing at Li Chao's house, did you?"
"Ah Dong, I must say, you did a fantastic job last time."
"Li sir, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."
"You robbed Zhang Xingqiang of HK$1 billion in Sir Li's name, and then deliberately let him live so that he could seek revenge against Sir Li. Ah Dong, your trick of using someone else to do your dirty work is really clever."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Li sir, you weren't a screenwriter before you became a policeman, were you? You can come up with such a bizarre story and even made me the male lead. You think too highly of me."
“Li sir, I’m answering you seriously now. I don’t know Zhang Xingqiang, and I know nothing about this HK$1 billion thing. If you have nothing else to say, I need to go have a drink with my friends.”
Li Wenbin said, "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Dong had already hung up the phone.
"Damn it, that bastard."
Li Wenbin cursed and said to Li Ka-shing, "Shen Dong is Shen Dong; he doesn't give himself away at all."
Li Ka-shing asked, "Li sir, Zhang Shiqiang is determined to deal with us. What should we do now?"
Li Wenbin said, "We will send police officers to protect you and your family 24 hours a day, and at the same time do our best to find Zhang Shiqiang's whereabouts. If you have any friends in the underworld, you can ask them for help."
Li Ka-shing said, "Okay, I will offer a reward of ten million Hong Kong dollars to find Zhang Shiqiang's whereabouts."
Li Wenbin nodded, saying nothing aloud, but inwardly he was filled with resentment.
Shen Dong offered a stingy sum of 20 million US dollars to kill the leaders of the four major triads.
You, the richest man in Hong Kong, only offered ten million Hong Kong dollars to find someone. The difference between the two is simply too great.
Bihai Nightclub
Shen Dong put down the phone, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
Shen Dong was not surprised that Li Wenbin could guess the whole story of Li Ka-shing's affair.
If he didn't even have this much ability, Li Wenbin would never have been able to become the Chief Superintendent of the Police Force.
However, even if he guessed it, it wouldn't matter. As long as Shen Dong didn't admit it, no one could do anything about it.
Hong Kong Island upholds the rule of law; the law is the most important thing, no matter what.
This is why lawyers are so sought after in Hong Kong.
"President Shen, let me toast you."
Li Fenglin of Fenglin Real Estate, his face flushed, spoke while holding a wine glass.
After the banquet at the Four Seasons Hotel, Shen Dong took all the members of the Hong Kong Island Real Estate Association to the Binhai Nightclub for drinks, where the atmosphere was very lively.
Shen Dong picked up his wine glass, clinked it with his, and said, "Mr. Li, you're too kind. You are my senior, and I should be the one toasting you."
Li Fenglin said, "No, President Shen, you solved our biggest problem, and we should all thank you."
Guo Yangyuan nodded and said, "That's right. Come on, let's all toast President Chen."
"good."
"Respectfully, Mr. Chen."
Everyone raised their glasses.
Shen Dong said, "Thank you all for your support at the banquet tonight. I'll drink to that first."
Shen Dong downed a large glass of liquor, which was about three ounces in total, in one gulp.
"pretty."
"That's quite extravagant."
Following suit, everyone drank the wine in their cups.
Lei Shanlin asked, "President Shen, my construction site needs 20,000 tons of cement and 50,000 tons of river sand. I wonder when they can be delivered?"
Shen Dong said, "Due to transportation limitations, I can only produce 40,000 tons of cement and 80,000 tons of river sand per day. Tomorrow morning, everyone can write down the quantities of building materials they need, and we will allocate them proportionally, starting with those projects that have been suspended. I estimate that it should be possible to meet everyone's needs within half a month."
"However, I'm making this clear from the start: no matter how low Li Ka-shing's prices are, no member of the association is allowed to buy any of his building materials. Anyone who dares to buy them will have their deposit deducted, and I'll deduct the amount based on the quantity purchased."
Ling Yuanhao said, "President Chen, could you offer a discount on your cement and sand?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I never intended to make money off these building materials. I predict that Li Ka-shing will definitely engage in a price war with me, lest he end up with hundreds of thousands of tons of cement and sand stuck in his hands."
"I can't speak for other things, but I can assure you that my price will definitely be cheaper than his. Of course, if he goes all out and drives the price down to tens of Hong Kong dollars per ton, that's fine. Our association can pool our money to buy it, and then distribute it according to need, which will save me the trouble."
