Three days later, a major earthquake struck within the Hong Kong Island government.
Four senior hawkish officials have been detained by police in connection with Qatar's case, and given the facts, they face one to three years in prison.
The prestige of officials from the hawkish faction among Hong Kong Island residents has plummeted.
The Hong Kong Island government's complaint mailbox is overflowing with letters from citizens cursing the Americans every day, leaving the American faction in a state of chaos.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, officials from the inland and centrist factions joined forces to seize the four vacant positions, while simultaneously launching attacks on several other important posts.
The hawk faction suffered heavy losses and was completely overwhelmed.

Sentenced to more than a hundred years in prison, Kadar completely lost his usual imposing manner, and looked as if he had aged twenty years.
He sat down in the chair, picked up the phone, looked at Ross through the glass window whose face was still full of hatred, and said, "I've already done this much, what more do you want?"
Ross said calmly, "I've come to tell you some unfortunate news. Your son and daughter were in a car accident on their way to London International Airport and they both died."
"Whoosh!"
Kadar suddenly stood up and shouted, "Ross, you bastard, God will not let you get away with this!"
Seeing that Kadar was in a bad mood, the two policemen immediately came over, pressed him down on the shoulder, made him sit back in the chair, and gave him a warning.
Kadar stared intently at Ross, his eyes bloodshot, wishing he could tear him to pieces.
Ross laughed and said, "You finally feel the hatred I have for you. Kadar, your son and daughter may be dead, but you still have grandchildren. Don't worry, I will give them a quick death."
Kadar's expression changed drastically. He said, "Ross, what exactly do you want from me to let them go?"
Ross said, "I hate you the most. If you want to save your grandchildren, you should know what to do."
After saying that, Ross ignored Kadar's furious roar, put down the phone, and turned to leave.
That evening, Qatar committed suicide in prison.
The next day, upon hearing the news, Shen Dong's face lit up with a bright smile.
“Ah Dong, you’ve achieved your goal,” Jian Aowei said.
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Uncle Jian, to be precise, Chairman Ross has achieved his goal. Hehe, I have to admit, your close friend is ruthless enough to wipe out Kadar's entire family. His methods are even more vicious than those of us short mules. It really shocked me."
Jian Aowei sighed and said, "I never expected him to go to such lengths."
Shen Dong said, "That's normal. If anyone dares to bully my daughter in the future, I will tear them to pieces."
Jane Austen said, "Ross would like to invite you to dinner this afternoon. Do you have time?"
Shen Dong said, "I don't think I have any other plans."
Jian Aowei smiled and said, "Then it's settled."
At 7 p.m., Shen Dong arrived at a Western restaurant.
Ross and Jane Austen were already waiting inside.
“Mr. Shen, thank you so much for finding the evidence of my daughter’s murder, which has allowed her soul to rest in peace.”
Ross gripped Shen Dong's hand tightly and said gratefully.
Shen Dong said, "You don't need to thank me. We just have a common enemy."
The three sat down. Ross, with tears in his eyes, said, "Over the years, I've hardly had a good night's sleep. I often dream of my beloved daughter Alice coming to find me. Now that I've avenged her, I should be able to sleep peacefully."
Shen Dong sighed and said, "Mr. Ross, I truly admire your persistence. Anyone else would probably have given up the investigation long ago."
Jane Austen chimed in, “That’s right. Ross, you’re a good father.”
Ross shook his head and said, "I'm a bad father. Anyway, I want to thank you both. Here, this glass is for you both."
Perhaps because he had finally gotten his revenge, Ross, contrary to his usual behavior, drank a lot of alcohol.
Just half an hour later, he got drunk and then burst into tears, which made Shen Dong very embarrassed.
Jian Aowei hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He gave Shen Dong an apologetic look and said to Ross, "Ross, I'll take you home."
Ross said, "No, I still have a lot to say to Mr. Shen."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Ross, what are you trying to say?"
Ross said, "Mr. Shen, do you know that among the group of people on the cruise ship, there was also the CEO of Hang Seng Bank? It's just that this guy is long dead, so I can't take revenge. But Hang Seng Bank is still around, and I'm going to make them pay the price."
Shen Dong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Currently, more than 50% of Hang Seng Bank's shares are controlled by the American conglomerate. The four major families have tried twice, but failed to acquire them."
Ross sneered, "Things are different now. That idiot Philip Barker used six billion US dollars to go long on Japanese stocks, and ended up losing a fortune. That money all came from depositors, half of which was Hang Seng Bank's reserves. You should know what that means."
Shen Dong said, "Hang Seng Bank's market capitalization is only around 10 billion US dollars. Once the news of a loss of 6 billion US dollars gets out, the stock price will definitely plummet. Unless someone is willing to invest in Hang Seng Bank and help them solve the problem."
Ross said, "Philip Barker personally owns 26 percent of Hang Seng Bank. You can go and talk to him."
Shen Dong raised his glass and said, "President Ross, thank you very much for telling me this news. I'd like to toast you."
Ross bumped hands with him and said, "Good luck."
After sending someone to take Jane Austen and Ross home, Shen Dong fell into deep thought.
After Li Ka-shing sold his shares in three companies, half were absorbed by the shareholders of Hang Seng Bank, and the other half were absorbed by the market.
Hang Seng Bank currently holds approximately 30% of the shares in the market.
If Shen Dong were to seize the opportunity to acquire market shares and then get his hands on the shares held by Barker, he could completely control Hang Seng Bank and become one of the leading financial institutions in Hong Kong.
However, almost all of his funds are in the Japanese stock market, making it difficult for him to come up with more than five billion US dollars to buy Hang Seng Bank shares.
What should we do?
