Break out of the courtyard

"There are two million magnesium dollars in this suitcase!" Yan Min returned to the gate of the community, tilted his head to signal the middle-aged male police captain, and looked at the black suitcase dragged by the bodyguard next to him.

Then, Yan Min took a notebook from a young female lawyer, looked at the accidental deaths of the other four people recorded on it, and then continued to say to the male police chief:

"Our boss wants to hold your police chief accountable. As long as the four of you cooperate with us and sign a testimony to confirm what just happened, the money will be yours."

The middle-aged male police captain looked at the young Hong Kong policeman next to him who had a look of astonishment on his face. This kid had never taken money before and didn't know the rules of corruption back then.

"We need to discuss this!" said the middle-aged male police captain, pulling the young Hong Kong police officer into the car.

"Captain, we can't accept this money!" The young Hong Kong police officer said in a low and excited voice: "If we take that money, the Independent Commission Against Corruption..."

The middle-aged male police captain patted the young Hong Kong policeman on the shoulder, took him into the car, and told the other two veteran policemen on standby in the car what had happened.

"Boss, if we don't agree, the Zhang family will probably hold us accountable as well."

"Is there any need to think about this? If we don't take the money, we will be held accountable and we will definitely lose our jobs. If we take the money, even if we lose our jobs due to being held accountable by our superiors, we can find a way to keep the money. 50 magnesium yuan per person, which is more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, is enough for our salary for more than 30 years!"

"Xiao Song, you just graduated from the police academy, you don't understand the dirty tricks between those wealthy Chinese businessmen and the Eagles. On the day when the Zhang family's Dior flagship store opened, even the Governor of Hong Kong brought his wife to show his support. Why do you think our police chief wants to cause trouble for the Zhang family?"

"Xiao Song, think carefully about the motives of the police chief. Why did he frame the head of the Zhang family? What is he afraid of? If you can figure this out, then you can be considered a true professional and save your life in the future!"

"Xiao Song, your monthly salary is only over 5000 yuan. It's not worth risking your life for that little salary."

"The medical examiner said that those Eagle Country guys died accidentally. Why did the police chief say that Mr. Zhang killed them? Do you want an accident as well?"

"Think about your family. In our line of work, the biggest fear is to offend the wrong people and then get your family involved!"

After hearing what the three veteran Hong Kong policemen said, the young Hong Kong policemen who had just started working felt as if a dark cloud was gathering over their heads!

……

"This is what happened. The five people who paid someone to drive a car into the Zhang family's car were all diagnosed as accidental deaths by the forensic doctor!" After saying this, Financial Secretary Xia threw a few pages of information on the conference table, then leaned back in his chair, not wanting to talk anymore.

"Chairman Shen Bi is really good at judging people!" The chairman of Standard Chartered Bank took the information and looked through it while sighing, "Mr. Zhang usually looks like a gentleman, but when it comes to killing people, he never hesitates at all."

"The key is that we still can't find any evidence against him!" The chairman of Jardine Matheson pointed his right index finger at a record in the file and sneered, "I, the general manager of Jardine Matheson, died a rather miserable death. I slipped at the edge of the swimming pool, hit the back of my head on the edge of the pool, got injured and fell into the water and drowned!"

"You haven't been to his house. I used to go there often." The chairman of Jardine Matheson had a complex expression of sarcasm, coldness, fear, etc. "Their swimming pool is cleaned by Filipino maids every day, and they use non-slip tiles."

"The problem is, his family didn't hear any unusual noises last night, and there were no signs of a fight at the scene!" Wheelock's chairman said with a gloomy face, "What can we do without evidence? Didn't the general manager of Wharf Holdings die unjustly? He could die of gas poisoning while sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper!"

"The China Gas Company actually told the Hong Kong police that he was stingy and was unwilling to pay for the renovation of the gas pipelines at home, and was unwilling to buy the latest gas stove with automatic gas shut-off, which led to the accident."

"Let me ask you one question: Who has ever used gas to boil water at home? Who has ever used a gas stove to cook food?"

"The problem is that your general manager doesn't have an electric kettle at home!" The chairman of Standard Chartered Bank said indifferently, "The chain of evidence is closed, unless you can prove that he never uses gas to boil water."

"Okay, put away your crocodile tears!" Director Xia of the Finance Department regained the right to speak in the meeting room, "I am a little surprised by Ethan's death! But his share of the money still needs to be distributed to his family."

"What's so surprising about this?" Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, suddenly pushed the door open and said, "If he is still the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, then only the former general manager of Hutchison Whampoa will die!"

"I thought you would wait until we died before coming back to collect our bodies!" The chairman of Standard Chartered Bank stood up, hugged Shen Bi, and said with a smile: "This time I listened to you, my old friend, and did not take any revengeful actions."

As the two men spoke, they looked at the chairman of Jardine Matheson and Wheelock, as if they were watching when they would step down as chairman and whether they would be retaliated against by the Zhang family afterwards.

As for whether Zhang Heping knew about their behind-the-scenes actions, judging from their swift, accurate and ruthless revenge last night, none of the five people present had such a fluke mentality.

Secretary Xia of the Financial Department looked at Shen Bi and said in a deep voice, "You are back just in time. How do you think we should deal with this matter?"

"I just went to the police station to check the surveillance video!" said the chairman of Huifeng Bank, sitting next to the chairman of Standard Chartered Bank. He calmly analyzed: "The surveillance video of Zhang's house is clear, but there are two time periods with slightly abnormal images. According to the time calculation, these two images may have been modified."

"Afterwards, I watched the videos collected by the Hong Kong police from other roads, shops and villas. Although I could see a Land Patrol passing by, the surveillance video was blurry and I could only vaguely make out the license plate HK66."

"Comparing the surveillance footage from both sides, the surveillance footage collected by the Hong Kong police looks more like a fake. So, I came here this time to tell you that your attempt has completely failed. Don't escalate the situation to an unmanageable level. It will be bad for both sides."

The chairman of Jardine Matheson asked worriedly, "If I step down as chairman in the future, will he retaliate against me?"

When this question was asked, the chairman of Wheelock was stunned for a moment. He suddenly understood the strange looks of the two bank chairmen opposite him.

"I don't know!" Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, said irresponsibly: "It depends on how you repair the relationship!"

"From this series of events, it can be seen that Mr. Zhang has his own style of doing things. After we cracked his Viagra pills, he warned us with the drug toxicology report and promised to cooperate with us on new drugs."

"But you rejected his cooperation with the Man Up pills, so you suffered indirect retaliation from him through the distributors."

"If you had listened to my advice and tolerated his counterattack, there would still be a chance for cooperation, but you wanted to take revenge on his family and teach him a lesson!"

Shen Bi looked at the two old men opposite. They were both thousand-year-old foxes and there was no need to teach them what to do.

The chairman of Standard Chartered Bank laughed and said, “I think he will deal with the police commissioner first!”

dong dong!

There were two knocks on the door of the conference room. A blonde secretary pushed the door open and walked to the side of Director Xia of the Financial Secretary. She leaned over and whispered:

"The lawyers from Peace Law Firm sent four copies of Hong Kong police testimonies, proving that the Commissioner of Police falsely accused Mr. Zhang of murder and tried to arrest Mr. Zhang this afternoon, and then tortured him to extract a confession!"

"One of the testimonies was written by the person in charge of the police response this afternoon. His rank was Sheriff!"

……

On the evening of October 10, in the living room of Zhang’s villa No. 8.

The third nephew Tang Qiang sat next to his father Tang Ren, looking at Zhang Heping who was reading the newspaper calmly, and asked with a little concern: "Uncle, do we really not need to find someone to communicate this matter?"

"No need!" Zhang Heping refused again, "I'll call you if I need you."

Tang Ren glanced at Tang Wei, who had been waiting at the door for a while but had not spoken, and then stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, I won't say anything else. Even if things are impossible, we can still retreat to Taiwan Island."

"When my uncle left last time, he said that as long as you are willing to go, he can arrange a position for you in the army, and it will be no problem to raise a private army of a thousand people."

"Thank you for your concern!" Zhang Heping put down the newspaper and sent his brother-in-law and his family out. "It's just a little friction in business. You don't have to worry."

Zhang Heping had personally killed someone, so it was hard for Tang Ren to believe his lies.

But Zhang Heping was unwilling to reveal the details, and Tang Ren couldn't do anything about it.

After seeing Tang Ren off, Zhang Heping turned around and took a look at the dark Villa No. 119.

Also busy with business outside, my eldest uncle and his family rushed back as soon as they heard the police blocking the door. As for my second uncle and his family, haha...

"Master!" Tang Wei saw Zhang Heping standing at the steps in front of the door, with no one around, so he leaned over and whispered, "I have two things to report!"

"First, I heard that Shen Bi, the chairman of Huifeng Bank, has returned."

"Second, I found that there are 34 bodyguards in our company, and they contact China Resources' four landlines every month. What do you think we should do?"

"That's a spy planted from the mainland. President Wei knows about it. You don't have to worry about it!" Zhang Heping turned around and patted Tang Wei on the shoulder. "Your technical department needs to train a few assistants as soon as possible. I'll send you to Japan next month. You can bring two assistants with you."

"Master, you asked me to go to Ridao to train Manager Zhu and his team on security equipment?"

"Well! By the way, I'll let you know about the customs and habits of the Japanese island, so that you won't fall into the honey trap."

……

On October 10, the morning news reported: In response to requests from the general public, the Hong Kong government passed a resolution to connect the north and south power grids of Hong Kong Island, and will further communicate with power companies to pass on benefits to the public.

After the news, Shen Bi, chairman of Huifeng Bank, called and said that since Zhang Heping had something to do in the afternoon, he changed the appointment to meet with the Financial Secretary tomorrow morning to discuss the listing of Hong Kong Island Telecom.

However, just as Shen Bi made this attempt, he received a counterattack at noon. Heping Group will take control of Huifeng Bank in five years!

In addition, the share price of Huifeng Bank has been suppressed to 41 yuan in the past few days, which makes it hard for Shen Bi to believe that Zhang Heping is not maliciously increasing his holdings in Huifeng Bank shares behind the scenes.

However, when he wanted to call Zhang Heping again, he was told that Zhang Heping had gone to deal with the Hong Kong Electric Company's affairs and had not returned yet.

As for Zhang Heping's cell phone that he didn't bring and Chen Shuting's cell phone that she forgot to charge, they were just excuses.

When the market opened in the afternoon, Huifeng Bank's share price fell below 40 yuan and began to fluctuate around 39 yuan, as if waiting for Heping Group to acquire it.

Immediately afterwards, television and radio stations interrupted the news that Stepmother Investment Co., Ltd. would transfer 20% of Huifeng Bank's shares to Heping Group.

Many people who had not paid attention to Huifeng Bank's stocks did not take this news seriously. Only those who held Huifeng Bank's stocks listened to it and took it for granted that the sharp drop in Huifeng Bank's stock price in the past few days was "well-informed people took profits and left the market early."

Along with this news, a formal notification letter from Stepmother Investment Co., Ltd. and a notice from Charter King regarding the transfer of Huifeng Bank shares to Heping Group were also sent to Huifeng Bank.

"Chairman, Stepmother Investment Co., Ltd. transferred our bank shares to its parent company. We can issue a statement to explain that this news is not bad news." Wei Daban of Huifeng Bank frowned and said, "But the 5.5% stake transferred by the charter king is difficult to explain."

"The stock price was driven down by the charter king!" Shen Bi suddenly realized something and said hesitantly, "This is Mr. Zhang's dissatisfaction with me as the distributor of Manliest pills!"

Boss Wei knew about the dirty tricks between this group of chairmen and Zhang Heping, and he also knew that the accidental deaths of the five Eagle people the night before were very strange, but he didn't care too much because Shen Bi told him to protect himself, and he didn't make enemies with the Zhang family.

"They have given us five years, which means there is no rush to take control and Mr. Zhang is not strongly dissatisfied with you. Chairman, don't worry too much." Boss Wei advised, but he was thinking in his heart, if Heping Group became the largest shareholder, how should he behave so that he could stay and continue to serve as general manager.

"Chairman, boss, something bad has happened!" A female secretary pushed the door open and rushed in. "The TV news just interrupted again. The Peace Group has already held 35.2% of our bank's shares, becoming the largest shareholder!"

……

Island Telecom, General Manager’s Office.

After Zhang Heping and Bao Chuanwang signed the share exchange agreement with Chen Shuting, they smiled and said, "The shipping king gave me a big surprise today. He actually made our Heping Group the largest shareholder of Huifeng Bank! When I have time, I will invite the shipping king to my house to taste my cooking skills."

"Haha!" The charter boat king received Zhang Heping's invitation to a family dinner and laughed, "My wife has long told me that Mr. Zhang is a great cook. She wants me to learn from you. I can't always be out and about and neglect my family."

"When Mr. Zhang finishes his recent work, I will bring my wife to visit him and see what delicacies he eats at home."

"Since the shipping king said so, I have to have people prepare more ingredients. If I don't do something fancy, I can't show my respect for the shipping king!"

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries and made an appointment to meet the Financial Secretary tomorrow to discuss the listing of Hong Kong Island Telecom. Then Zhang Heping and Chen Shuting sent the charter boat king into the elevator of the building.

As soon as the charter king left, Zhang Heping's face darkened.

Seeing this, the concubine Chen Shuting asked in confusion: "Husband, aren't you happy that you have become the largest shareholder of Huifeng Bank?"

Back in the general manager's office, Zhang Heping stood by the window and frowned, saying, "Those old guys did it on purpose. They wanted to push us to the front to compete with the Eagle Country guys."

"But they will miscalculate!" Zhang Heping said contemptuously:

"I just want to warn Shen Bi now. The chairman will still let him take the position. As for the Huifeng Bank shares held by Yingzi, we can take our time. Our investment in Ridao will take another six or seven years before we can withdraw the profits. There is no rush!"

After Chen Shuting understood Zhang Heping's long-term plan, she asked, "Will those Eagle Country guys really force the police chief to resign because of a few testimonies?"

"A few testimonies are definitely not enough!" Zhang Heping looked at the sunset outside the window indifferently, "As long as the benefits are big enough, these Eagle Country guys will do anything. Don't forget, they started the Opium War!"

Jingle Bell……

Chen Shuting walked to the desk, picked up the phone, listened to a few words, and then looked at Zhang Heping in surprise.

"That Chairman Shen is waiting at the gate of the community with the Financial Secretary. Sister Xin asked you if you want them to come in and wait for us?"

"Let them come over, and you call the charter king and ask him to come back to discuss the listing of Hong Kong Island Telecom."
