Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"The initiative is now in our hands! The world is so wonderful, isn't it?"

In the Hong Kong government conference room, Sir Bailiqu held a silver crutch in his hand and said excitedly to Hong Kong Governor MacLehose.

"Originally, we hoped to give Du a slap in the face and take advantage of the rickshaw incident to catch him off guard. Unexpectedly, he was so cunning that he even set up an express company to resolve the rickshaw incident. Now that he has gained fame and fortune, he has made our Hong Kong Governor's Office and Like an idiot——"

When MacLehose heard this, his expression turned ugly.

Bailiqu said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I mainly wanted to describe Du's treachery! Lord Governor, you have worked hard for the people and Hong Kong, and everyone can see it."

MacLehose didn't speak, just picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Bailiqu watched the words and realized that he had been too excited just now and had made some mistakes in what he said.

Next to him, Li Luofu, who is in charge of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, stood up to smooth things over and said: "Originally, we all thought that the guy named Du could step on us and show off his power this time, but we didn't expect that the guy named Huo asked him to help ask for the land in Hejiaotian - "

After a pause, Li Luofu smiled and said: "I have investigated. During the approval process, although the person named Huo did not take the initiative to bribe the previous Land Department or the City Planning Department, other people in the Football Association took the initiative to invite the people in charge on both sides to dinner. Horse racing and yacht partying, I have every right to have reason to believe that there are unethical transactions involved."

"What a reason to believe! Li Luofu, I like what you said!" Baili Qu praised Li Luofu.

"Now let's see how to make the man named Du bow his head. Yes, let him bow his head severely in front of us! What a bullshit tycoon, Sir! As an Englishman, I only have an ordinary knighthood, but he is a first-class baron! How unreasonable!" Baili Qu looked ferocious.

Although MacLehose was a little dissatisfied with Bailiqu being so presumptuous in front of him, it was hard to say anything now that everyone was on the same side.

Just then-——

Boom, boom, boom.

The secretary of the Hong Kong government knocked on the door and said: "Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, Chief Superintendent Du Yongxiao Du is outside asking to see you!"

"Here he comes, he's finally here! Hahaha!" Bailiqu looked up to the sky and laughed, looking at MacLehose and saying, "Sir, when I watch you perform now, watch how the guy surnamed Du kneels down!"

…

"Chief Superintendent Du, please come this way!" The secretary of the Hong Kong government introduced Du Yongxiao into the conference hall.

Du Yongxiao saw MacLehao, Bailiqu and Li Luofu at first sight.

The three of them looked at him with different expressions.

MacLehose's expression was calm and natural.

Bailiqu had a sarcastic look on his face.

Li Luofu's eyes were slightly contemptuous.

"What a coincidence, Superintendent Du, I didn't expect you to come back to see the Governor. It just so happens that we also have important things to report to the Governor, let's go together!" Bailiqu said with a smile.

Du Yongxiao nodded: "That's fine! In fact, what I reported is also related to you, Sir."

"Is it related to me?" Bailiqu was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Du Yongxiao took a step forward: "It's a long story, so why don't we all sit down and talk about it."

In a word, focus on being anti-customer.

Hong Kong Governor MacLehose was stunned for a moment and motioned to his secretary to prepare coffee.

Bailiqu sneered in his heart, guessing what Du Yongxiao was trying to do.

Li Luofu had the "handle" of the people from the Football Association, and he was waiting for Du Yongxiao to take the initiative to speak and hit the gun.

Seats four.

The coffee was served again.

Du Yongxiao glanced at his secretary.

Upon seeing this, the secretary of the Hong Kong government wisely went out and closed the door.

Everyone here has a higher official rank than him.

He understands better that the less you know, the safer you are.

Seeing that Du Yongxiao could send his secretary away with just one look, MacLehose felt a little unhappy.

He said in his heart that this man named Du is so powerful that it seems that he must be kicked out of the ranks of government servants. Otherwise, how can he be suppressed in the future?

"Okay, Superintendent Du, can you say something now?" MacLehose said softly.

Baili Qu also said: "Yes, what you just said is related to me, what's the matter?"

Du Yongxiao smiled slightly: "That's right. A few years ago, the Hong Kong Football Association asked the government to approve a piece of land to use as their federation's headquarters. Last year, the Urban Development Department and the Land Department both approved it. According to legal procedures, the land now belongs to the Football Association. Over there, they have the right to start building the headquarters building, but our side suddenly announced that it needs to be re-approved, and indicated that it was you, Sir Bailiqu, who ordered it, what do you mean?"

"Oh, so that's what happened." Bailiqu suddenly realized. He put the crutch next to his leg, slowly took a sip of coffee, smacked his lips, then looked up at Du Yongxiao, and said with a smile: "It seems like Superintendent Du, you You're really busy. Just after handling the rickshaw incident, you actually started to intervene in the Football Association incident again. By the way, when are you going to resign? We approved the amnesty order from Lei Luo and the others, so you won't regret it, right?"

"Don't worry, after handling this matter, I will take the initiative to announce my resignation."

Bailiqu nodded and put down his coffee: "That's good! To be honest, it's not that I don't like you, I'm afraid that you'll be tired! I'm running to the Hong Kong Governor's Office all day long with the title of Chief Superintendent, and I'm asking for orders for the people. It’s endless, so tiring!”

"Thank you Sir for your concern. Let's get back to the topic, why do you want to stop the construction of the Football Association?"

"Stop? Is there any? I'm just doing things in accordance with the regulations!" Bailiqu spread his hands, "There was a problem with the approval last time. As a judicial boss, is it wrong to strictly enforce the law?"

Du Yongxiao raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Li Luofu said beside him: "According to the information I received, some people from the Football Association secretly intended to bribe officials from the Urban Construction Department and Land Department in order to obtain land approval. For this reason, this matter must be re-investigated thoroughly!"

"Did you hear that?" Bailiqu looked proud, pointed at Li Luofu and said to Du Yongxiao: "He is in charge of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and you yourself are the founder of the Independent Commission Against Corruption! You know better than any of us what the ICAC is. Whatever they do, if there is any suspicion, they must be investigated thoroughly and clearly!"

Li Luofu followed with a smile and said: "Sir Sir, please don't praise me. This matter is my responsibility and what I should do! Don't worry!"

Li Luofu stood up and deliberately looked at Du Yongxiao with a proud look on his face: "I have always upheld Superintendent Du's belief in clean government, and I can't tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes! No matter how rich, powerful or incompetent the people in the Football Association are, If our Independent Commission Against Corruption takes it seriously, I will thoroughly investigate the entire FA and turn it upside down!"

MacLehose smiled.

Bailiqu looked more and more proud.

They looked at Du Yongxiao like a clown.

Just wait for Du Yongxiao to lower his head and beg for mercy.

At this time——

Bang bang bang!

Du Yongxiao suddenly applauded, "Okay, very good!"

Du Yongxiao glanced at the sworn Li Luofu, then at the proud Bailiqu, and finally his eyes fell on Hong Kong Governor MacLehose: "I just want to ask you one question now -" his eyes were cold and his tone was solemn, "How do you approve of that piece of land?" Do you want to approve it or not?"
