Li Zeju said, "Dad, our negotiations with the Pengcheng government regarding the construction of the port are nearing completion. We can sign the contract in a week."
Li Ka-shing asked, "Did Ascendas Ports Group obstruct the process?"
Li Zeju said, "They went to the Guangdong Provincial Government and even offered more favorable terms than we did. However, the Guangdong Provincial Government did not approve their application because the port of Pengcheng could not be entirely handed over to a private enterprise for management."
Li Ka-shing nodded and said, "That's good."
The port construction is Li Ka-shing's exploratory move; whether it will succeed depends on its profitability.
He is different from Shen Dong.
Shen Dong knew what the future of Xia Kingdom would be like, so he dared to make large-scale investments without any scruples.
Even to outsiders, his investments seem extremely irrational.
Li Ka-shing must be extremely cautious to avoid causing irreparable losses.
The fact that Shen Dong acquired dozens of properties from the Zheng Group also came to the attention of the police.
Li Xian exhaled a smoke ring and said to Li Wenbin, "Brother Bin, it seems that Shen Dong has obtained evidence of Zheng Tong's death."
Li Wenbin nodded and said, "This guy is as capable as ever. In just four days, he found the evidence first. He's really hit the jackpot."
Li Xian frowned and said, "Shen Dong is committing a crime."
Li Wenbin sighed, "Even if you know he coerced Hu Yali into signing this contract, what can you do? With a payment of 1.5 billion US dollars and notarization from the notary office, Shen Dong's acquisition is completely legal."
Li Xian said helplessly, "You're right. We'll never find any evidence in this matter."
Li Wenbin said, "You should be glad that Shen Dong has reformed and started a legitimate business. If he were a gang leader dealing in heroin, given his caution and shrewdness, it would be very difficult for our police to arrest him."
Li Xian nodded, deeply agreeing with these words.
Li Wenbin said, "However, we still need to give him a good talking-to, so he doesn't go astray."
Li Xian looked at him with surprise and said, "Brother Bin, Shen Dong's assets have surpassed those of the four major families, making him the undisputed richest man in Hong Kong. If you want to give him a warning, you'd better watch your tone to avoid making things awkward for both of you."
"He dares."
Li Wenbin snorted, picked up the phone, and dialed Shen Dong's number.
"I am Shen Dong, and who are you?"
"Ah Dong, this is Li Wenbin. Congratulations on acquiring dozens of office buildings and commercial buildings from the Zheng Group."
Seeing Lee Moon-bin's beaming face, Lee Hyun couldn't help but roll his eyes.
No wonder he became a chief superintendent; his ability to change his expression so quickly is something I could learn for a lifetime.
“Li sir, it’s all luck. To be honest, I didn’t expect Ms. Hu Yali to make such a decision.”
Li Wenbin scoffed at Shen Dong's words, saying, "This is all thanks to your abilities. You, Mr. Shen, were able to find out things that our police couldn't find so quickly. I really have to admire you."
"Li sir, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."
"Whether you understand or not is irrelevant. I just want to remind you, the richest man in Hong Kong, that you should know when to stop. I don't want to invite you to my place for coffee."
"Thank you for the reminder, Inspector Li. I understand what you mean."
He only said he understood, without explaining what to do next, which left Li Wenbin speechless.
After hanging up the phone, Li Wenbin slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain, how could I forget to ask him about the boxing match tickets?"
Li Xian raised an eyebrow and said, "Is it the admission ticket for the match between the Japanese Karate Association and Feng Yuxiu?"
Li Wenbin nodded and said, "I asked him for five tickets."
"Holy crap."
Li Xian said excitedly, "Brother Bin, you have to save one for me no matter what."
Li Wenbin said, "Go buy it yourself. I don't have any leftover tickets for you."
Li Xian said, "Buy my ass. This match has caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong Island. All the tickets have been distributed by the organizers before they were even sold."
Li Wenbin said, "Then go ask Shen Dong for it. That kid definitely has the tickets."
Li Xian said helplessly, "They're all billionaires, it's hard to say whether they'll even answer my call."
Li Wenbin laughed and said, "Are you feeling inferior?"
Li Xian said, "To be honest, I feel a bit inferior in front of him. Look at him, he's not even thirty years old and he's already the richest man in Hong Kong. Look at me, I've been working for over forty years and I'm just a minor police superintendent. The difference is just unbelievable."
Li Wenbin sighed and said, "Who says otherwise?"
Just then, the office phone rang.
"You saw Lian Haolong? Where is he?"
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Li Wenbin said, "The intelligence team has discovered Lian Haolong's henchman, Luo Tianhong. We're heading there immediately."
Li Xian's spirits lifted, and he replied, "Yes."
The police originally thought that Lin Haolong had already left Hong Kong Island. Although the patrols were still quite tight, everyone's vigilance had relaxed.
Unexpectedly, Luo Tianhong came into the intelligence team's sights, which meant that Lian Haolong might not have left Hong Kong Island yet.
This is absolutely fantastic news for the police.
The members of the police intelligence unit are all highly trained elites, completely different from the incompetent police officers in the movies who track suspects.
It took Luo Tianhong twenty minutes from the time he entered the mall to the time he arrived at a residential building.
