Mike was well aware of the difficulties involved and said, "Joe, Giles is dead, and the Security Bureau needs a director. If you can find evidence that Shen Dong is the mastermind, I guarantee you will be the director of the Security Bureau."
Qiao Ding'an tentatively asked, "Is this considered a pledge of allegiance?"
Mike said, "You could say that."
After a long silence, Qiao Ding'an said, "Chief Mike, I can tell you clearly that I really hate Shen Dong. He's too arrogant. Yesterday, in front of so many police officers, he actually cursed at me, making me lose face. After the explosion, Shen Dong questioned me in front of countless reporters, making me lose face even more. Compared to you, I probably want him to die even more."
"But to be honest, I don't dare to investigate him. He has more than 20,000 well-equipped troops, and he could easily send out a few to kill my whole family."
Mike frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you scared?"
Qiao Ding'an said, "I'm scared. My youngest daughter is only three years old. I don't want her to be blown to bits by rockets like Director Giles and his family. Chief, aren't you afraid, sir?"
Mike's lips twitched slightly. He waved his hand and said, "Joe, you can leave now. You've missed a great opportunity for a promotion."
Qiao Ding'an stood up, bowed to Mike, and said, "Thank you for your high regard, sir. I'm sorry to have disappointed you. Compared to a promotion, I care more about my own life and my family's."
As he left Mike's office, a cold smile crept across Qiao Ding'an's lips.
When it comes to acting, Qiao Ding'an, who has long been lurking in the middle faction, is comparable to those movie stars.
In the conversation just now, this guy successfully created the persona of being irreconcilable enemies with Shen Dong.
Joding believes that Mike will definitely recommend himself to the US government before he leaves office.
After all, he wasn't from the inland faction and had never offended the hawks.
Once he reaches a higher level, he can work for the inland areas without any scruples.
Zheng's Group Headquarters
Hu Yali put down the newspaper in her hand, her face deathly pale.
If Shen Dong didn't die, then she's in big trouble.
Although Hu Yali was forced to sue Shen Dong, this act almost got him blown up.
Shen Dong will definitely think that he is in cahoots with the Americans, and then you can imagine what will happen next.
what to do?
Hu Yali was filled with panic.
Just then, the phone on her desk rang.
"Mr. Hu, Mr. Jimmy from Tengfei Group would like to see you."
Hu Yali was startled; they had indeed arrived.
"Please invite him up."
After a while, Jimmy walked into Hu Yali's office.
The secretary poured Jimmy a cup of coffee and then closed the door.
Jimmy looked at Hu Yali, who could not hide her nervousness, and said calmly, "Ms. Hu, you have quite the nerve to join forces with the U.S. military to kill Mr. Chen."
Hu Yali quickly said, "I didn't know this would happen."
Jimmy said, "Six armed helicopters launched six missiles and thirty rockets at Mr. Shen, and now you're telling me it has nothing to do with you? If you were in that situation, would you believe it?"
Hu Yali said, "Gills found something on me and threatened me to report Mr. Shen. I really had no choice but to do as he instructed."
Jimmy's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What leverage?"
Hu Yali pursed her lips and remained silent.
Jimmy stood up and said, "Since you're not going to say anything, then you should prepare for your own funeral."
"etc."
Seeing that Jimmy was really about to leave, Hu Yali quickly said, "It's about me and my boyfriends."
several?
Jimmy almost threw out his back.
This woman is quite the ladies' man!
"You're a widow. Even if you have a few more boyfriends and it gets out, so what?"
Hu Yali said, "Most of them are married men."
Jimmy gave a thumbs up and said, "You women really know how to have fun."
Hu Yali pleaded, "Mr. Jimmy, could I possibly meet with Mr. Shen?"
Jimmy said, “Mr. Shen will not see you. Ms. Hu, to be honest, we know you have nothing to do with the bombing of the Central Police Station. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be me coming to see you.”
A hint of joy appeared on Hu Yali's face as she asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Jimmy said, "Gilth is dead. I want you to reveal the truth to the reporters."
Hu Yali pursed her lips and said, "I...I can't do that."
Jimmy said, "This matter started because of you, and it will end because of you. Ms. Hu, you have no choice. It's 10 a.m. now, and there are still two hours until noon. If it's not resolved before noon, then I'm sorry."
After saying that, Jimmy turned and left.
Hu Yali leaned back in her chair, remaining silent for a long time.
An hour later, Hu Yali held a press conference.
In front of dozens of reporters, the recording of her conversation with Giles was played.
It turns out that Hu Yali is not easy to deal with.
After being threatened by Giles, Hu Yali followed the same tactic Shen Dong had used against her last time and recorded several of their conversations.
In their last conversation three days prior, Giles himself admitted that they were going to deal with Chen Dong.
When the reporters heard the recording, there was an uproar.
"Ms. Hu, is the man you are talking to really Giles, the Secretary for Security of Hong Kong Island?"
"yes."
"What exactly is it about you that Giles has caught you doing?"
"These are some of my private life matters, and it's not appropriate to disclose them here."
"Then why did you suddenly choose to go public? Were you threatened?"
"No. I just think last night's bombing was terrible. This time it was Mr. Shen, next time it could be someone else. We Hong Kong locals should unite and not let them run rampant."
"Ms. Hu, aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Americans by exposing this matter now?"
"I'm afraid, so like Mr. Shen, I plan to seek refuge inland."
......
Hu Yali's press conference stirred up a storm across Hong Kong Island, leaving the US government in a state of utter chaos.
Mike is going crazy.
He originally planned to hold a press conference at 3 p.m., but then Hu Yali's incident happened.
Mike had no choice but to deny the recordings.
Left with no other option, he had to postpone the press conference until 8 p.m.
