Chapter 604 Taking the Blame



Seeing the hostility on Haitang's face, Angelina felt she couldn't stay any longer and said, "Mr. Shen, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. I'll treat you to a drink another time."

Shen Dong pressed down with his right hand, making Angelina, who had just gotten up, sit back down, and said, "No rush. Let's clear things up before you leave."

Angelina said, "Mr. Shen, is there anything else?"

Shen Dong said, “Ms. Angelina, we are all smart people, so let’s stop with these underhanded tactics. I know that the establishment of the Xia Kingdom Chamber of Commerce has made you feel a huge threat, so you have used underworld methods and administrative means to deal with Chairman Huo and Vice Chairman Sir Li respectively.”

Angelina frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, you've misunderstood."

Shen Dong sneered, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not is unimportant. What's important is that you'd better stop targeting Mr. Huo immediately. If another bombing occurs, none of those American representatives, including you, will survive."

Angelina said, "So, you killed Mr. Neil and Mr. Herman?"

Shen Dong shook his head and said, "No."

Angelina said, "Besides you, we really can't think of anyone else who would dare to bomb our commercial building."

Shen Dong curled his lip and said, "This only proves that you are stupid."

Angelina said, "Mr. Shen, it's not heroic to do something but not take responsibility for it."

Shen Dong laughed heartily and said, "That was a good provocation. Alright, to tell you the truth. I helped Sir Li with his matter, but the bombing and murder cases have nothing to do with me."

Angelina asked, "Who does that concern?"

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Dong said, "I can only say that in the entire Hong Kong Island, you can use all sorts of underworld methods to deal with anyone. Even if you kill me and Li Ka-shing, no one will bother you. The only exception is Old Master Huo."

“His status is extraordinary. If you dare to use such despicable means to deal with him, it’s no different from courting death.”

“Ms. Angelina, someone has asked me to formally warn you that you must cease all actions targeting Mr. Huo. If another explosion occurs, Neil and Herman will serve as a warning to the rest of you.”

Angelina's face turned extremely ugly. She said, "Mr. Shen, your words won't scare us."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "I'm just relaying a message. You can continue. Haitang, help me see Ms. Angelina out."

Haitang nodded and said, "Okay. Ms. Angelina, please."

Angelina stood up and stormed out.

Once inside the elevator, Haitang said coldly, "If I ever see you trying to seduce my husband again, I will really kill you."

Angelina snorted and said, "Miss Haitang, it's better for women to be gentle."

Haitang said, "I don't understand gentleness; I only know how to kill."

Angelina smiled and said, "Did you kill Neil and Herman?"

Haitang narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You're trying to trick me into telling you something?"

Angelina said, "No. I don't think Mr. Shen would tell you something so secret."

Haitang said, "This is not a secret at all; the whole of Hong Kong knows it."

Angelina was taken aback and said, "Since it's not a secret, Miss Haitang, could you tell me?"

Haitang said, "Do you really not know who the Huo family's backer is?"

Angelina's heart skipped a beat, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face. She said, "Inland."

Haitang said calmly, "Sometimes, I'm really worried about your intelligence. For over twenty years, the Hong Kong government has been desperately suppressing the Huo family, but they haven't dared to completely destroy them. Why? Isn't it because the mainland has been giving Old Master Huo unconditional support? When Old Master Huo fell ill, the mainland directly sent a plane to pick him up and take him to Beijing for recuperation. This is a privilege that only a high-ranking national leader can enjoy. Heh, do you think the mainland would sit idly by and do nothing about dealing with such an important figure through abnormal means?"

Angelina said, "It's impossible for the inland areas to do such a thing."

Haitang sneered, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

After seeing Angelina off in the elevator, Haitang returned to Chen Dong's office.

"Aren't you worried about them causing you trouble if you put that hat on your head in the inland areas?" Haitang asked.

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Old Huo is originally from the inland, so if they don't take the blame, who will?"

Haitang asked, "Do you think they'll believe that?"

Shen Dong walked to the door, locked the office door from the inside, and said, "Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. I need your help right now."

Haitang asked, "What kind of help?"

Shen Dong hugged Haitang tightly and whispered in her ear, "Help me put out this fire. That Angelina is making me a little angry."

Haitang rolled her eyes at Chen Dong and said, "I'm really impressed by you."

......

Meanwhile, representatives of the American conglomerate gathered once again.

Angelina recounted her meeting with Shen Dong, saying, "Shen Dong admitted to helping Li Ka-shing, denied killing Neil and Herman, and pointed the finger at the Inland."

Hera sneered, "It's impossible for the Xia Kingdom's inland areas to do such a thing."

Allen said in a deep voice, "After the incident, Huo Yingdong and Li Ka-shing went to Xia Hua Society immediately, and then met with Shen Dong together with Du Yuxin, the president of Xia Hua Society. No matter who was behind last night's events, the mainland is definitely involved."

Hera asked, "What do we do next?"

Allen said, "Huo Yingdong seems to be the bottom line for the inland areas. We can no longer deal with him using abnormal methods."

The other representatives nodded in agreement.

They were all wealthy, and each one of them was terrified of death.

Now that Neil and Herman are dead, if the fighting continues, they might be the next ones to die.

Hera asked, "What exactly is wrong with the US government? Why did they loosen the restrictions on Li Ka-shing?"

Allen smiled wryly and said, "I've already asked, and it was the Commander-in-Chief who gave the order."

Everyone was intelligent, and upon hearing this, they immediately understood its meaning.

It's certain that Li Ka-shing has something in his hands that could put the US leader in big trouble.

Angelina pondered for a moment and said, "Li Ka-shing needs £5.5 billion to acquire Kangaroo Telecom. With other investments, that's enough to cause him cash flow problems."

Allen said, "You mean shorting the Longsword Group? Ms. Angelina, don't forget, Shen Dong still has over 20 billion US dollars. If he lends a hand, the Longsword Group will be as stable as Mount Tai."

Hera slammed her hand on the table and said, "If normal methods don't work, and abnormal methods can't be used, then what do we do?"

The crowd looked at each other and fell silent.
