"What could I possibly have... huh?"
Shen Dong's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood why Du Yuxin had brought the two of them to him. He said, "President Du, are you trying to use someone else to save someone's life?"
Du Yuxin gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Shen is amazing. I thought about it all night before coming up with this desperate solution. But you came up with it in an instant. You are truly comparable to a modern-day Zhuge Liang."
Shen Dong gave him a deep look and said, "How dare I compare myself to President Du? You killed two birds with one stone, while I got nothing at all."
Du Yuxin laughed and said, "No, you have gained two favors from me and Sir Li."
Neither Li Ka-shing nor Huo Yingdong understood what the two meant.
Just as he was about to ask, Shen Dong walked to his desk, took out a document from his drawer, and handed it to Li Ka-shing.
"Sir Li, during my thorough investigation of Hang Seng Bank, I inadvertently discovered that the previous Chief Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Island transferred substantial benefits to the then-Finance Minister of the United States for three consecutive years, totaling approximately US$120 million. The former Chief Secretary for Administration is now the Consul General of Hong Kong Island, and that Finance Minister has also become the Consul General of the United States. You can take this information to the Consul General of Hong Kong Island; I believe he will help you resolve this matter. Even if he doesn't help, the Consul General of the United States will."
Shen Dong said with a smile.
It turns out that yesterday afternoon, Shen Dong obtained evidence of the transfer of benefits between Hong Kong and American officials, involving more than 30 officials, half of whom still hold high positions.
Instead of making a decision on his own, Shen Dong called Du Yuxin to ask him what to do.
Du Yuxin told him to keep the evidence safe and bring it out when the time was right.
Unexpectedly, the American conglomerate retaliated against Li Ka-shing because of the Xia Guo Chamber of Commerce incident, so Du Yuxin brought Li Ka-shing and Huo Yingdong over.
No matter how powerful the American conglomerate is, it is no match for the American leader. That is why Du Yuxin pleaded with Shen Dong to hand over the evidence to Li Ka-shing in order to get through this crisis.
However, this way, Li Ka-shing would gain a huge advantage.
Because the term of office for the US leader is four years, and only one year has passed so far.
With evidence in hand, Li Ka-shing's investments in the United States will surely go smoothly for the next three years; it would be difficult for them not to succeed.
Li Ka-shing had clearly considered this as well. His hands trembled as he examined the evidence, saying, "This is not just a favor, but the key to the Li family's growth and prosperity. Mr. Shen, I truly don't know how to thank you enough."
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. We are all of the same Chinese lineage. If we don't unite when facing foreign oppression, we're completely doomed. However, Sir Li, you still need to be careful. America is not Hong Kong, where triads run rampant. If you want to invest there, you can't rely solely on the government; you must have connections in the underworld. At least if you're bullied, someone can avenge you."
Du Yuxin coughed and said, "Mr. Shen, is it really that serious?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Anyway, that's how it is in the United States. The United States is of the same lineage as the United States, so it should be similar."
Li Ka-shing said, "I have some connections with the leaders of the Hung Gang and the Big Circle Gang in the United States."
Shen Dong suddenly realized and said, "No wonder you dared to invest there. It turns out you have the support of these two gangs. Hehe, it seems I was too talkative."
Li Ka-shing quickly said, "Mr. Shen, please don't say that. I am only grateful to you now. This evidence is too important. With it, our Li family has really made a huge profit."
Du Yuxin smiled and said, "Sir Li's matter is resolved. Next is the bombing of Old Master Huo's shopping mall. Mr. Shen, you have many informants in Hong Kong. I wonder if you have received any information?"
Shen Dong said, "President Du, I'm not a god, how could I possibly find those terrorists in such a short time?"
Huo Yingdong said worriedly, "Several of my shopping malls have already closed, and the foot traffic in the other malls is also decreasing rapidly. If this continues, I'm afraid we'll lose many merchants. Mr. Shen, do you have any ideas?"
Shen Dong said, "It's impossible to find those terrorists in a short time using orthodox methods."
Du Yuxin immediately asked, "What about unorthodox methods?"
Shen Dong smiled slightly and said, "That's simple. Who's behind the bombing? Needless to say, it's 100% the American conglomerate. They have more than ten times as many commercial buildings as Old Master Huo. Just find someone to plant a few bombs, and everything will be solved."
Du Yuxin said, "This won't do; you're using violence to fight violence."
Shen Dong said, "There's an even simpler way. The representatives of the American conglomerate don't number much, only about a dozen. They bombed three of your shopping malls, so you just hire an assassin to kill those three representatives. Heh, with their own lives at stake, I bet they won't dare target the Huo family again."
Du Yuxin was speechless.
Seeing Shen Dong's nonchalant expression, Li Ka-shing secretly vowed never to offend him again. Otherwise, who knew what methods this guy might use against him? It was possible that all three of them—father and sons—would lose their lives.
Huo Yingdong said with a wry smile, "Mr. Shen, neither of the two methods you mentioned is suitable for me."
Shen Dong spread his hands and said, "Then there's nothing we can do."
Just then, Shen Dong's phone rang.
Hello, who is this?
"Brother Dong, this is Ah Huan. The Huo family's office building in Tsuen Wan was bombed. There were no casualties, only a bathroom was destroyed."
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong said to Huo Yingdong, "Mr. Huo, something has happened to your office building."
Huo Yingdong's face instantly turned ashen.
Du Yuxin slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "This is outrageous!"
Huo Yingdong took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, I'll go first."
Du Yuxin and Li Chaoren said in unison, "I'll go with you."
Huo Yingdong clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you."
Du Yuxin asked, "Mr. Shen, are you going or not?"
Shen Dong said, "I won't go. Mr. Huo, the American conglomerate is a bunch of bullies who prey on the weak. If you want them to behave, you have to be even more ruthless than them. If you need anything, you can call me directly."
Huo Yingdong nodded and said, "Thank you."
Soon, Du Yuxin, Li Chaoren, and Huo Yingdong arrived at the office building in Tsuen Wan.
The explosion occurred in the restroom on the twelfth floor of the office building.
The bombs used by the other side were of average power, only destroying a few squatting pits and a wall.
However, the impact was extremely negative.
The clients are too afraid to work in the office building anymore; they've all moved downstairs.
After Huo Yingdong came out, they surrounded him one by one.
"Old Huo, what should we do?"
"That was terrifying. I almost got blown up in the bathroom."
"These terrorists are truly lawless."
"No matter what, I'm definitely not going into office buildings anymore."
......
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
