They've brought in the police and the media—this is a multi-pronged attack!
Xing Baohua felt that these methods were nothing new, and that these harmless tricks could cause him no trouble.
Around 3 PM, the department head finally arrived. I had seen him on TV before; he was very tall, but a bit thin.
Despite being ranked in the twenties in Hong Kong, he wields immense power.
With a population of six to seven million and over 30,000 police officers, the Chief Commissioner is the supreme commander of these 30,000 people, wielding immense power.
As for the garrison of a thousand or so men in the Great Eagle, they are not enough to be considered a threat.
The fact that the media captured the visit of the Chief Executive made them even more excited than if the Governor of Hong Kong had come.
Everyone is speculating whether the top leader will take Xing Baohua away.
But what they didn't know was that after the leader and Xing Baohua met, they sat down to drink red tea and eat snacks.
They even prepared a fruit-flavored hookah, famous for its desert flavor, for this top guy.
Xing Baohua and the gang leader were smoking. Their initial conversation was all small talk, but after the gang leader had drunk half a pot of tea, he said seriously, "Xing, hand over those two computers to them, and I guarantee that nothing inside will be taken."
"Words are no proof! My lawyer is right here. He has prepared an agreement for you. You just need to sign it," Xing Baohua said with a smile.
"My presence here signifies my sincerity. I can vouch for it, but signing is out of the question," the leader said confidently.
“Sorry, your pride isn’t worth much. What if you’re transferred back to headquarters someday and not in Hong Kong? Who am I supposed to talk to? I can’t exactly go to Big Eagle to complain to you. I’ll be the one who suffers. And will your next boss believe me if I just say it? Sign this, and I’ll be at ease knowing you’ve completed your mission. Mr. Michael.”
Xing Baohua maintained a slight smile throughout, but the more she looked at the foreigner, the more displeased she became.
No matter how disgusting the other party was, Xing Baohua had to endure it. During this period, the managers in Hong Kong did some crazy things, namely, they were greedy, even more so than in the early days.
Because they all knew that Hong Kong was about to lose control of the Great Eagle Empire, and if they didn't frantically amass wealth, they would be doing a disservice to the saying, "Seeking officialdom from afar is only for the sake of wealth."
This statement is perfectly exemplified in them.
The top leader must have taken some benefits from someone to put pressure on Xing Baohua. How could Xing Baohua let him get away with it?
The two maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but in reality, the leader was also somewhat angry inside.
If Xing Baohua weren't so wealthy and powerful, he would have already ordered the computer to be taken away. How dare the police obstruct him while he was on duty? He should have detained them both first.
So these police officers also treat people differently based on their status.
With Xing Baohua's lawyer present, they didn't dare to be too casual, which made them hesitant and unable to act freely.
"Mr. Metro, there's an old saying in China: money can make the devil turn the millstone. What do you think would be simpler if I offered a reward to find some evidence against you?" If soft tactics didn't work, then hard tactics would do. Anyway, Xing Baohua wasn't afraid of these foreigners.
Offending someone will only make you feel bad for a while, and they will find some minor faults to annoy you.
I can tolerate this, but I'm really annoyed by the other person's forced smile.
Sure enough, the leader's expression changed drastically, but then returned to normal. He said to Xing Baohua, "Xing, you are the most unfriendly businessman I have ever met. I don't want trouble, but don't cause me any trouble either. I have a hundred or a thousand ways to give you endless trouble. For example, you are a bodyguard, and I suspect that they will bring instability to Hong Kong. They could be investigated at any time."
And your car—it gets tickets just for parking on the street. There are dozens, even hundreds, of such cases in Hong Kong every day. In each case, I have the right to suspect your people and detain them for 48 hours before releasing them. You can't threaten me.”
"Oh! Taking revenge? Or abusing your power? What you just said will be used as evidence in court. Look at your upper right corner, that's CCTV footage, the kind with audio recording. As long as my people are arrested, what you just said will be broadcast on Eagle TV and HK TV. The Independent Commission Against Corruption will also have a copy. Let's see who can act faster."
Threats, who wouldn't be?
I wonder how much money this guy spent to become number one; it doesn't look like he fought his way up. That kind of scheming just now really tarnished the status of a top leader.
Well, after much persuasion, Xing Baohua has managed to get the top dog under his control. This guy probably hasn't had enough yet and wants to stay in his position for a long time.
After reviewing the agreement provided by the lawyer, I signed my name.
He had his men carry the two computers and stormed off in a huff.
As soon as he came out, many media outlets wanted him to say a few words.
Normally, he would need to go through some procedures to be interviewed, and even the interview content would need to be reviewed. This kind of random interview is not in accordance with the rules. Perhaps he was so angry with Xing Baohua that he just said a few words to a media person nearby.
"Director, is Xing Baohua involved in any crimes committed by missing persons?"
"Director..."
When the top media outlets saw him responding to an interview, they all crowded around him, shoving mini recorders and microphones in front of his mouth, and even a long-tube microphone was almost stuffed into his mouth.
“We are still investigating. We just seized Xing Baohua’s office computer, and we believe we will find clues soon,” Brother Yi said.
"Director, it is said that Xing Baohua is controlling stocks. Is the seizure of his computer related to this case?"
"Perhaps!"
As the top figure was speaking, Xing Baohua's lawyer came over with several photos and an agreement. He first introduced himself to the media, then took out the photos and agreement and loudly proclaimed to the media: "Mr. Xing Baohua's work computer contains business secrets worth hundreds of billions."
As soon as he finished speaking, the media were in an uproar, followed by a frenzy of flashing lights and microphones and recorders being shoved into his mouth.
