the next day.
The citizens of Hong Kong had expected the government to bring the criminals to justice quickly.
Bring a bit of peace to the recent social unrest and instability.
On the TV screen, the government spokesman announced that Youde had unfortunately passed away due to a heart attack.
This news instantly became the front-page headline and attracted widespread attention from all parties.
This time John Bull reacted very quickly and announced the new governor just one week later.
Just as the original historical trajectory, Richard Yee took over Youde's position and became the 27th Governor-General.
After taking over the position of Governor, Richard Nixon acted quickly and first delivered a series of inaugural speeches aimed at reassuring people.
A grand memorial service was then held in the Governor's Mansion for the head of the ICAC, Richard Wilkins, and his predecessor, Youde.
On the day of the memorial service, the Governor's Mansion was solemn and the atmosphere was heavy and quiet.
Sunlight streamed through the carved windows onto the flower-lined corridor, but the entire environment was shrouded in a deep sense of mourning.
Inside the venue, portraits of John Kerry and Governor Youde were hung on a huge photo wall.
Their faces are gentle and solemn, as if they are still silently guarding this land.
There are countless flowers and elegiac couplets placed around, and every bouquet of flowers and every word expresses the citizens' grief and respect.
In the center of the venue, Governor Richard M. Wilson was dressed in a dark suit and looked solemn.
Standing on the podium, holding the microphone, he narrated in a low and sad voice:
"Mr. Wei Liqin was a selfless, dedicated, and upright pioneer of anti-corruption.
He spent his entire life fighting for integrity and justice in Hong Kong.
His determination and perseverance are an example for all of us to learn from.
We are deeply saddened by his passing, but his spirit will always illuminate our path forward..."
Below the stage, representatives from all walks of life and citizens all looked sad, solemn and dignified.
They lowered their heads, silently immersed in grief, and the air was filled with a heavy atmosphere.
Among the tycoons who came to mourn, Mo Zhexuan stood out.
He was wearing a dark suit and looked extremely sad, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
He was praying with his hands folded together, as if the one who had died was a loved one of his.
Such a scene was naturally seen by representatives from all walks of life and citizens attending the memorial service.
Media reporters all pointed their cameras at him, and even his shots appeared frequently on TV.
"This guy's acting is really superb. If I didn't know what happened, I would probably be moved by his sincerity!"
Li Yulin, a representative of Xinhua News Agency, secretly glanced at Mo Zhexuan in the crowd and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"However, I still have to thank this kid this time." Li Yulin thought to himself,
"We've made further progress in our negotiations. John Bull has finally given up and is about to compromise!"
How could anything that happens in Hong Kong escape the eyes of China?
Now their people are also working tirelessly to investigate the killer's origins, and no one can destroy the overall stability of Hong Kong.
Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong and other people who have a deep understanding of Mo Zhexuan could not help but secretly admire Mo Zhexuan's acting skills.
But under the camera, he had to pretend to be in painful remembrance.
"Damn it! Why are you talking so much bullshit? Why don't you just stop it?"
Mo Zhexuan's tears kept falling like pearls from a broken string.
But in my heart, I was like my mother, constantly complaining about Wei Yixin's excessive nonsense.
The reason why he pretended to be very sad was naturally to gain sympathy.
Of course, he was also grateful to Wei Liqin for blocking the bullet for him. After all, the sniper's real target was him.
If he hadn't bent down to pick up the microphone, Wei Liqin wouldn't have been beaten to death.
As for Youde's death, he was extremely happy.
Although I don’t know how Wei Yixin will treat me next.
But it’s better than this guy staring at me and finding fault with me all the time!
Just when everyone at the scene was getting a little impatient, Wei Yixin's speech finally came to an end.
He took a deep breath, scanned the entire audience, and said in a slightly hoarse but firm voice:
"We will now fly our flags at half-mast as a token of our deepest condolences to Governor Youde and the distinguished Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Richard M.
They have spent their entire lives fighting for the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, and their spirit will always shine on this land.
Let us remember them together, and may their spirits in heaven bless the people of John Bull and Hong Kong to prosper."
As soon as the words fell, the venue fell into silence.
As the ceremony progressed, the national flag was slowly lowered and people bowed their heads in silence to pay tribute to the deceased leader.
The entire venue was filled with a solemn and sad atmosphere, as if time had stopped at this moment.
The memorial service lasted for several hours before it ended, and everyone present went back home to find their mothers.
Just as Mo Zhexuan was about to leave like everyone else, a staff member from the Governor's Office came up and politely stopped him.
"Mr. Mo, please stay." The staff member's tone revealed a hint of respect.
Mo Zhexuan looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The staff member smiled and replied, "The Governor wants to see you."
"Okay!" Mo Zhexuan nodded, although he was a little surprised.
He turned around, said hello to Baochuan Wang and Huo Yingdong beside him, and then followed the staff out of the venue.
"Mr. Mo, I've long heard of your great name." Wei Yixin's gaze lingered on Mo Zhexuan for a moment.
Obviously, he was aware of the young man's abilities and reputation.
He smiled and said:
“I invited you here today because, on the one hand, I admire you and want to get to know you;
On the other hand, regarding the recent public opinion storm, we hope to find a solution as soon as possible."
Wei Yixin's tone revealed sincerity and determination. He continued:
"Regarding the current lawsuit, on behalf of the government, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you.
After investigation, we found that there were indeed some misunderstandings and negligence that led to the unfair accusations against you.
Therefore, we hope to reach a settlement with you to calm this public opinion storm."
During this period, Mo Zhexuan has fully demonstrated the importance of public opinion.
After the sniper incident, he disguised himself as a victim and instantly won the support of some people.
"Governor! Thank you for giving me justice." Mo Zhexuan smiled slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart immediately disappeared.
After the two reached a settlement, they didn't continue chatting. They were both thousand-year-old foxes, so what was the point of playing Liao Zhai? People with different ideals cannot work together.
