The white van stopped after rushing to the entrance of the building; the driver's target was clearly not Li Ka-shing and his two sons.
The car door opened, and a man emerged from it, strapped with explosives, holding a submachine gun, and wearing a mask.
The security guards who rushed out of the building originally wanted to show off in front of Li Ka-shing, but when they saw the masked man's submachine gun, they all stopped and scattered to find a place to hide.
“Li Ka-shing, come out here! I’m going to kill you.”
"Li Ka-shing, you shameless bastard, I'm going to kill you."
......
The masked man shouted as he strode toward the Longsword Building.
Li Zeju saw the masked man's actions through the car's windshield and exclaimed, "What is he trying to do? Is he planning to blow up the building?"
Li Zekai said, "Impossible. The explosives on his body wouldn't have any impact on the Longsword Building."
Li Ka-shing said, "A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. Old Zhao, retreat immediately."
“Yes, Sir Lee.”
Old Zhao started the car, turned a corner, and drove away from the building.
The Blackwater bodyguards' mission was to protect Li Ka-shing and his two sons. They had no interest in the masked man, so they got into the car and followed closely behind Lao Zhao's car.
"boom"
They had only driven less than two hundred meters when a deafening explosion rang out.
The explosion was so powerful that the ground trembled, as if a magnitude 8 or higher earthquake had occurred.
"What happened?"
Li Zekai looked back and immediately saw a scene he would never forget.
All they saw was the collapse of the Changjian Building, which their family had spent 1.8 billion yuan to build!
"Whoosh..."
"Bang..."
That's the sound of a building collapsing to the ground.
The ground trembled violently again, raising a cloud of dust.
"Knock knock knock"
Li Zekai's mouth dropped open, his heart pounding wildly.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a scene in his life; it was like the end of the world.
Li Ka-shing was also visibly shocked.
He swallowed hard, wanting to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter a word.
Li Zeju muttered unconsciously, "It's over, our Longsword Building is finished."
After a while, Li Ka-shing was the first to come to his senses and shouted, "Call the police! Call the police immediately! Old Zhao, return to the Changjian Building!"
Li Zeju and Li Zekai suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly called the police.
Driver Lao Zhao jerked the steering wheel, drew a circle on the road, and turned back.
At this point, what was once a magnificent and imposing building has been reduced to ruins.
Li Ka-shing got out of the car and looked at the scene before him; his face was extremely grim.
Li Zekai said angrily, "Shen Dong, it must have been Shen Dong who did it."
Li Zeju said in a deep voice, "The explosives that the masked man carried could not possibly have such power. The only explanation is that someone planted explosives in the building beforehand, just waiting for him to ignite them."
Li Zekai said, "This masked man is a suicide squad member."
Li Zeju said, "Fortunately, Dad let the car leave, otherwise, the three of us would probably be drinking tea downstairs right now."
Upon hearing this, Li Zekai couldn't help but shudder.
Li Ka-shing took a deep breath and said, "We targeted his clothing factory, and he targeted our Longsword Building. He's a vindictive bastard."
Two years of construction and an investment of 1.8 billion yuan have resulted in a huge loss for Li Ka-shing.
The commotion caused by the bombing of the Long Sword Building attracted many people, including Chan Ho-nam and Bao Pi.
Bao Pi said, "Holy crap, what's going on?"
Chan Ho-nam's eyes flashed, and he said, "Is there any need to say it? It must have been Sham Tung who did it."
Bao Pi pursed his lips and said, "The question is, how much explosives would it take to achieve this result?"
Chan Ho-nam said, "If we could get some powerful explosives, we only need a few dozen kilograms. I just don't understand how Sham Tung managed to bring so many explosives in."
Bao Pi looked at Li Ka-shing and his son, who were surrounded by Blackwater security guards, and said, "Li Ka-shing has suffered a great loss this time."
Chen Haonan said, "Direct losses are secondary; the key is the indirect losses."
As a real estate tycoon and the head of the four major wealthy families, Li Ka-shing's influence in society is almost unparalleled.
Many people only know Li Ka-shing, but not the Governor of Hong Kong.
The collapse of the Changjian Building, which he was preparing to put on the market, is enough to raise concerns about the safety of Li Ka-shing's other properties, and thus affect investors' confidence in the entire Changjian Group.
"Sir Li, may I ask why the Longsword Building collapsed?"
"Sir Li, many people are speculating that it was one of the four major wealthy families that sent people to burn down the Tengfei Garment Factory. Now that your Changjian Building has been bombed, could it be retaliation?"
"Sir Lee, what is your opinion on the security situation on Hong Kong Island now? Do you still think it is the safest city in Asia?"
......
More than a dozen reporters who arrived at the scene first asked Li Ka-shing questions through the Blackwater bodyguards.
Li Ka-shing's face remained ashen, and he completely ignored them.
A while later, Lee Fung, the head of the Major Crimes Unit of Causeway Bay Police Station, arrived with more than 20 police officers.
He ordered his men to set up a cordon to separate the reporters and passersby, then walked up to Li Ka-shing and said, "Sir Li, I am Li Feng from the Causeway Bay Police Station. Are you alright?"
Li Ka-shing said calmly, "I almost got crushed to death downstairs, just like those twelve security guards."
Li Zekai retorted, "Li sir, when did the security situation on Hong Kong Island become so bad? Can your police force even protect our lives and property?"
Li Feng said, "This incident has had a very bad impact. Our Causeway Bay Police Station guarantees that we will do our utmost to track down the murderer."
Li Zeju said, "To be able to blow up the Changjian Building like this, you can imagine how much explosives the perpetrator used. I hope you can thoroughly investigate the source of these explosives."
Li Feng said, "I understand. Mr. Li, do you have any specific suspects?"
Li Zekai said without hesitation, "Yes, I have reason to suspect that the perpetrator of this bombing is Shen Dong."
Li Feng was not surprised by this answer.
Everyone on Hong Kong Island knows that Shing Tung's garment factory was most likely burned down by the four major wealthy families.
It's perfectly normal for Shen Dong to blow up the Li family's Changjian Building in order to get revenge.
The only problem is that Shen Dong made too much of a commotion.
"I will go and ask Mr. Shen about the situation."
Li Ka-shing said, "It's pointless to ask anymore. We have no evidence to prove that the murderer is related to Shen Dong, and we can hardly even find out the murderer's identity."
Whether it was burning down a garment factory or bombing the Changjian Building, everyone knew perfectly well who was behind it all.
However, without evidence, the Hong Kong Island police had no way to convict them.
Li Feng said, "No matter what, we need to go and have a good talk with Mr. Shen."
Li Zekai said, "He went to Taiwan."
Li Feng was taken aback, then said, "I'll call him to find out what's going on."
The Li family had absolutely no hope for the police's ability to solve the case.
