Lok Wai-ching asked, "Everyone knows that Hung Hing is one of the most famous triads in Hong Kong. Why did you join it? Was it to show off?"
Shen Dong said, "Of course not. I am an orphan and grew up in the Tuen Mun Orphanage. In order to make a living, I went to do small business on the street, but I was often bullied by thugs. Later, an elder from Hung Hing helped me, and I joined them."
Lok Hye-jung asked, "Is this a story about a dragon slayer who eventually becomes a dragon himself?"
Shen Dong sensed that Le Huizhen was being somewhat aggressive, so he shook his head and said, "I have never bullied small vendors or any ordinary citizens of Hong Kong Island. On the contrary, I have fought with some thugs from other gangs many times."
Lok Wai-ching asked, "Have you offended someone?"
Shen Dong said, "Last week, I was competing with the four major families and the American conglomerate for the New Territories warehouse. I bought it for more than five billion US dollars. I guess some of them are holding a grudge, so they hired some news media to smear me."
Yue Huizhen exclaimed in surprise, "You mean they're targeting you?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "I'm just saying they're the most likely candidates. There's no way to have evidence for this kind of thing, so let's just leave it to everyone to decide."
Lok Wai-ching asked, "What's the deal with the Blue Ocean Nightclub? Is it really the largest place for prostitution on Hong Kong Island?"
Shen Dong said, "I have already answered that. The Bihai Nightclub has been maliciously smeared by others."
Lok Wai-ching said, "The problem is that three women who were taken away by the police have admitted that they were prostitutes."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Your description is inaccurate. They're saying that the manager of the Bihai Nightclub forced them to sell themselves. Heh, it's really laughable. I donate 20 million Hong Kong dollars to my girlfriend's charity foundation every month. Do you think I need to rely on them to make money?"
Lok Wai-ching was taken aback and asked, "Could you tell me about the charity foundation?"
Shen Dong said, "As I just mentioned, I am an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. No one understands this group of people better than me. My girlfriend was originally a teacher, and after we got together, she set up a children's charity foundation. At first, I didn't have much money and could only donate one million a month. Later, it became three million, five million, and even tens of millions. Starting last month, I increased the donation amount to twenty million."
Lok Wai-ching asked, "Could you tell me the name of this foundation?"
Shen Dong said, "Qiu Xin Charity Foundation."
Le Huizhen exclaimed, "I know about the Qiu Xin Charity Foundation, but I never expected that Miss Li Xinxin would be your girlfriend."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "I told her not to talk about my affairs. Hehe, a short mule actually donated money to do good deeds. If word gets out, it will not only affect Xin Xin, but will also be ridiculed by people in the gang."
At this moment, Yue Huizhen's gaze toward Shen Dong was different. She said, "I don't know if people in the gang will laugh at you, but I do know that any kind person will look at you with new respect, and the children in the orphanage are even more grateful for what you have done for them."
Shen Dong said, "Thank you, what you said makes me very happy."
Lok Wai-ching said, "Many newspapers and magazines say that you are able to earn so much money through criminal activities such as robbery and murder. That can't be true, can it?"
Shen Dong laughed heartily and said, "Leaving aside other industries, the New Territories warehouse alone is worth over five billion US dollars. Even if I robbed all the liquid assets of the four major tycoons, it probably wouldn't be enough, would it?"
Lok Wai-ching asked, "Then where does all your money come from?"
Shen Dong said, "Some time ago, I went to the United States and shorted gold with five times leverage, making nearly 10 billion US dollars."
Lok Hye-ching looked incredulous and said, "Ten billion US dollars?"
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right. Also, I made a lot of money in the previous stock market crash."
Yue Huizhen exclaimed, "You are truly amazing!"
Shen Dong said, "This time, so many magazines and newspapers suddenly turned their attention to me, and even the police became the guns of the people behind the scenes. This makes me very angry. I want to announce something during this interview."
Yue Huizhen asked, "What is it?"
Shen Dong said, "I'm offering a reward of fifty million US dollars to find the mastermind behind this incident."
In fact, Shen Dong knew very well that there would be absolutely no evidence for such a thing.
The reason he offered such a high reward was simply to show the public that he was a victim and had been framed by someone.
Lok Wai-ching said, "You have such a generous spirit."
Shen Dong sighed and said, "This is the only way we can do it. Less than half an hour after the Hong Kong Island police raided the Binhai Nightclub, more than ten media outlets published news reports of one or two thousand words each. I'd like to know what role the Yau Tsim Mong Police Station played in all of this? How did they leak the information about checking the license at the Binhai Nightclub to these media outlets?"
"Furthermore, I've already investigated. That night, a total of seventeen newspapers listed the Bihai Nightclub as their front-page headline. Without exception, their controlling shareholders are all from four major wealthy families. Sir Li Ka-shing owns three, Mr. Guo Shengli owns five, Mr. Zheng Tong owns four, and Mr. Li Zhaoshan owns five. Hehe, isn't that too much of a coincidence?"
Yue Huizhen sensed that things had gotten a bit out of hand and said, "Are you questioning the four great families?"
Shen Dong nodded and said directly, "That's right, I do suspect them. Some time ago, I took the New Territories warehouse from them, so it's normal for them to retaliate against me."
Yue Huizhen said, "Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"
Shen Dong said, "I hope so. Actually, they succeeded. I've already decided to close Bihai Nightclub and all other nightclubs, KTVs, and bars."
Le Huizhen stared wide-eyed in shock and asked, "Why?"
Shen Dong held up two fingers and said, “There are two reasons. First, to prove to everyone that I don’t care about these businesses at all, so naturally I wouldn’t think of making money through the so-called illegal and criminal activities of the Bihai Nightclub. Second, these places are a mixed bag and difficult to manage. Now that I’ve offended the four major powerful families, all they need to do is get some heroin, have someone smuggle it in, and then have the police conduct a surprise inspection, and all my places will have to shut down for rectification. Not only will I not make any money, but it will also cause a lot of trouble, which is really not worth it.”
Holy crap, this is like they're declaring war on the four giants!
Shen Dong is incredibly audacious.
Yue Huizhen thought to herself.
After the interview, Shen Dong smiled and said, "Ms. Le, it's almost noon. Would you do me the honor of inviting you to lunch?"
Yue Huizhen, who was just about to chat with Shen Dong, said, "Okay. I'm actually hungry."
