Shen Dong raised an eyebrow and said, "What if I do something that harms the interests of the inland areas?"
Li Jie was silent for a moment, then said, "You won't."
Shen Dong asked, "Why?"
Li Jie said, "Because you have always considered yourself a descendant of Yan and Huang, belonging to the same lineage as those in the inland areas."
Shen Dong said, "You remember quite clearly. Why did you come with President Du? Aren't you going to hide it anymore?"
Li Jie smiled wryly and said, "I know what you said in the car was a test. With your shrewdness and wisdom, I really have no reason to hide it from you."
Shen Dong turned to Du Yuxin and asked, "Are Black Hawk attack helicopters really that important to the Army?"
Du Yuxin replied without hesitation, "It's extremely important. If we have a Black Hawk attack helicopter, we can learn about the advanced technology of the United States through reverse engineering, which will be of great significance to the development of our own attack helicopters. Mr. Shen, I would appreciate your help."
Shen Dong asked, "After we get our hands on the Black Hawk, how do we get it into China?"
Du Yuxin said, "Fly directly to Haojiang."
The Portuguese troops in Macau withdrew fifteen years ago, so flying directly there with Black Hawk helicopters is indeed a good option.
Shen Dong said, "Give me the exact location of Haojiang. I will call you in advance once I'm ready."
Du Yuxin said happily, "That's great. Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Of course."
Du Yuxin looked at Li Jie, who had been standing there silently with his head down, and said, "Mr. Shen, Li Jie, he..."
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "This is an internal matter for Tengfei, so you don't need to worry about it. President Du, I do have a question for you. Besides Li Jie, are there many other people you have contact with?"
Du Yuxin said, "Mr. Shen, if I say no, you certainly won't believe me. To avoid mutual suspicion, I can tell you clearly that yes. But I can't tell you the specific quantity or the specific names. Also, please believe me, whether in the past, present, or future, we have no intention of harming you."
Shen Dong asked, "I was able to recruit thousands of veterans so easily, surely with the help of the military?"
Du Yuxin nodded and said, "Yes. With thousands of soldiers gathered in one company, it's impossible for us not to pay attention."
Shen Dong said, "But you still agreed."
Du Yuxin solemnly said, "We believe that you have your heart set on China."
A bright smile appeared on Shen Dong's face as he said, "I knew Chen Hui must have some connection with you guys."
Du Yuxin was slightly taken aback and said, "Mr. Chen, did I mention Chen Hui?"
Shen Dong said, "The people who know me best, besides A-Jie, are Chen Hui. A-Jie only recently joined the National Security Department, so the only one who dares to give me such a guarantee is Chen Hui. I bet he must have said a lot of good things about me to you, which is why you were willing to entrust those outstanding veterans to me."
Du Yuxin smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, your imagination is truly remarkable."
Shen Dong pointed to the phone on the table and said, "Ahui is an honest man. If I call him now and just pry a little, he'll definitely tell the truth. President Du, shall we give it a try?"
Du Yuxin shook his head and said helplessly, "Mr. Shen, Li Jie is right, you are indeed too shrewd."
Shen Dong said, "I was just joking. From the day I recruited veterans from the inland region, it meant that I would never do anything to betray the country and the nation. President Du, please believe me and the inland government, I, Shen Dong, will never betray the country in my life."
Du Yuxin said solemnly, "I believe you."
After leaving an address, Du Yuxin said goodbye and left.
Shen Dong personally escorted him into the elevator.
Back in his office, Shen Dong glanced at Li Jie and asked, "Do you want to continue working for me as a driver, or go back to the mainland to work in the National Security Department?"
Li Jie was taken aback and said, "Brother Dong, you're still willing to let me be your driver?"
Shen Dong said irritably, "Nonsense. I bet there are at least a dozen or twenty brothers in Tengfei Security Company just like you and Chen Hui. If I fire you all, more brothers will join them in less than half a month, so the final result will be exactly the same as now. Besides, I won't stop you from being patriotic; it's the most basic moral quality we Chinese descendants should have. Otherwise, why would I be investing over 10 billion US dollars in the mainland if I had nothing better to do?"
Li Jie nodded and said, "You're right."
Shen Dong asked, "Then what do you choose?"
Li Jie answered without hesitation, "Driver."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Your choice makes me feel that I am still a decent person."
Li Jie said, "Brother Dong, the brothers all admire and are very grateful to you. Without you, most of them would probably still be farming in the fields, instead of earning thousands of Hong Kong dollars and living the life that only white-collar workers can afford."
Shen Dong said, "Stop flattering me. Go and call Asheng, Ahui, Axiu, Xiahou, and Dali over right now. Let's discuss how to take Black Hawk."
Li Jie said, "I'll go right away."
While Shen Dong and the others were discussing counterattack strategies, several key figures from the American conglomerate were sitting together drinking coffee.
The Hong Kong Island conglomerate is composed of more than a dozen conglomerates that help each other and form a super complex that controls the Hong Kong Island economy.
The four major families may seem impressive, but in reality, they are far inferior to the American conglomerates in real estate and finance.
After all, they have the support of the American government.
Although the four major families maintain good relations with the U.S. government, they are of Asian descent and it is impossible for them to gain the government's complete trust.
Hang Seng Bank CEO Bruce took a sip of coffee and said, "Fifty-two Lions mercenaries have arrived on Hong Kong Island. We can launch an attack on Shen Dong tonight, just give the order."
"Fifty-two people?"
Vogt, the head of the Einstein Foundation, frowned and asked, "Why are there so few people?"
Bruce shrugged and said, "They think that if you use a Black Hawk attack helicopter to kill a rich man, no matter how powerful he is, he will definitely not escape under a missile attack. Vogt, you have a lot of connections, you even managed to get your hands on a Black Hawk."
It turns out that the Black Hawk attack helicopters were able to enter Hong Kong Island thanks to Vogt's efforts.
The Einstein Group behind this guy has very close ties with the US military-industrial complex.
Before deciding to kill Shen Dong, they conducted a detailed investigation into him and learned that Shen Dong possessed a magical sixth sense that allowed him to sense danger approaching in advance.
After some discussion, Vogt directly called the top management of the Eint Foundation and arranged for Black Hawk attack helicopters to be transferred from a base in Japan.
The actual pilots of this Black Hawk attack helicopter are from the US military; the Lion Army mercenaries are just a front.
This is also why the Lion Mercenaries only sent fifty-two people.
