Chapter 278: 272 Ah Bu: You
Evening, 18:00.
Five Star Group.
"Brother Zu, it's this man!"
"He's been loitering downstairs where you live and around the Five Star building..."
"I have a feeling he's a hitman."
Ah Wah immediately showed the photo of the hitman, Zhang Chi, to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.
Although he was driving and separated by glass, it wasn't very clear.
But because Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu had been keeping an eye on Hong Hong Wengang recently, he recognized who this person was at a glance.
Ah Wah: "We sent one of the top scouts brought over by Following Xiao Fu to tail him, but we haven't been able to find out who his employer is, so we haven't made a move on him yet."
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said: "I know this guy. He's one of the people working for the boss behind that blood donation van."
Ah Wah's expression turned cold: "That Hong Hong Wengang?"
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu nodded: "Yes... This Hong Hong Wengang has heart disease and has been wanting to get a heart transplant, so he set up an organ trafficking syndicate. That blood donation van is for organ matching."
"It must be because we blocked their path to profit... No, wait..."
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu furrowed his brows.
"Blocking his profit path doesn't justify a life-or-death struggle; at worst, he could just go set up somewhere else. There must be something very precious to him..."
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu and Ah Wah exchanged a look:
"Organ matching!"
"Organ matching!"
They said in unison.
Ah Wah affirmed: "There must be a donor among this group of people who is a match for his heart!"
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu nodded, his expression serious: "Have the property management company call those people who had their blood tested and tell them to be careful lately."
Ah Wah: "I already instructed the local precinct two days ago."
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Let me see the list..."
According to the laws of Hong Kong cinema, those who get involved are highly likely to be important characters; Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu might be able to spot someone he knows.
Soon,
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu received the data.
"Brother Zu, have some tea..." Secretary Wu Wu Lianqian placed a cup of black tea in front of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu. As she leaned over, a fragrance wafted over.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu nodded, took a sip, and began looking through them one by one.
Not long after, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's gaze stopped on one of the files.
— Zha Zha Hui.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu paused for a moment, then looked at the information.
Chen An has a younger sister named Chen Le, who got on the blood donation van because she wanted to buy a motorcycle.
"This name sounds familiar..."
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu thought for a moment and recalled the plot of *The Tide*.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu continued reading, but didn't see anyone else he recognized.
He made a call to Ah Wah. Soon, Ah Wah entered, and Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu handed the file to him.
"This girl... send more people to watch over her..."
Ah Wah nodded: "Got it!"
A new day.
As the morning light broke, Mount Mount Shizi was shrouded in a faint golden glow.
Below the mountain, 81 Broadcast Drive.
The Asia Television building.
Today, they would welcome a new shareholder — Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu!
A blue Bentley slowly drove toward the ATV gate and stopped at the entrance.
The door opened, and Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, wearing a well-tailored suit, gold-rimmed glasses, and polished black leather shoes, stepped out.
He walked into the ATV gate with Fang Ting.
"Welcome, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan!" *20
Surrounded by flowers, beauties stood in rows, bowed slightly, and shouted in unison.
The atmosphere instantly became lively.
Boss Lin and Boss Zheng laughed as they welcomed Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.
"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, welcome to ATV!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, Mr. Zheng."
Afterward, Ms. Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang stepped forward to guide Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu to the podium to speak.
"First, I want to thank ATV for this opportunity, allowing me to join the ATV family."
"..."
Blah, blah, blah—a bit of looking back at the past and looking forward to the future.
"Clap, clap, clap~~~"
Enthusiastic applause began to ring out.
Below the stage, a group of beauties lowered their heads and whispered.
"He's even more handsome than on TV!"
"So charming!"
"And rich!"
Their eyes were sparkling.
The welcome ceremony ended, followed by the shareholders' meeting.
Boss Lin, Tycoon Zheng, and Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu held the meeting; they just sat on the sofa chatting while the executive secretary recorded the minutes.
Boss Lin asked: "I wonder if Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan has any suggestions for the television station."
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu knew he only had an 8% stake, so he didn't think about staging a coup or making drastic reforms; that would only make him look like a naive rookie with no emotional intelligence.
He had to wait—wait for the Zheng family's financial crisis in November to acquire the 46% stake held by Boss Zheng; only then would Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu be able to speak with authority.
After the shareholders' meeting,
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu 'summoned' ATV President Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Liang Liang Shuyi.
"Ms. Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang, I've heard much about you."
"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, I've long heard that you are a master of news. I hope for your guidance and support in my work in the future." Ms. Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, carrying a hint of pride.
"Certainly, certainly," Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said with a smile.
Fang Ting, standing to the side, glanced at Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.
Brother Zu's smile—he's probably not planning anything good.
Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang Uncle Uncle Liang Liang Shuyi could be considered a prominent figure in the Hong Kong television industry. In the mid-70s, she served as a producer for TVB; in 1978, she managed the Commercial Television station (which went bankrupt); in 1989, she was invited by Tycoon Lin to serve as President of Asia Television.
She had another identity: she came from the Liberal Party and was an appointed Legislative Councilor from the New Territories in 1981 (not directly elected, but appointed by the Governor), and then served successively as a Legislative Council member, a member of the Provisional Legislative Council (before 1997), and a Legislative Council member (after 1997)...
In the film and television industry, if you say she's impressive, she really is; after all, she has served as a senior executive at three different television stations.
But to say how capable she really is—it seems just so-so, after all, Commercial Television went bankrupt, and ATV gradually declined.
TVB is famous for being stingy and has a bunch of questionable operations, yet it keeps getting more popular.
ATV talks about "all kinds of talent," yet it flops.
If Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu took over, he would definitely handle it himself and bring a little shock to this era.
As for this Ms. Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Uncle Liang... it's fine to let her be a workhorse, but as for letting her lead the decision-making, forget it...
One hour later,
Recording studio.
An exclusive interview with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was underway.
"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, including the 500 million won at the casino this time, your net worth should be around 3 billion now, right?"
As a celebrity in Hong Kong, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was full of topicality, yet neither television station had ever done an exclusive interview with him.
This time, taking advantage of the 500 million and the ATV shareholder buzz, doing an exclusive interview with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu would definitely bring ATV some ratings.
The interviewer was Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Huang Huang Jieyi.
"No, no, at most one billion... Mingxin Hospital, the charity foundation—these are all public welfare projects and don't count as my money. Besides, out of that one billion, it's not just mine; it belongs to my brothers. Five Star Group is not a group for me alone, but a group belonging to my family."
Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Huang Huang Jieyi: "Family? If I may be so bold, as far as I know, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, you are all alone, right?"
"No, in my view, the brothers who grew up and fought alongside me are all my family. For example, Ah Wah, who is in charge of the property company; Ah Jin from the film and clothing companies; Wu Ying, who is very annoying but is now determined to be a singer... and all the Five Star Group employees are my family. It doesn't matter how much money I make personally; I hope more that my brothers and I can make money together and live a good life."
All of Five Star shouted emotionally: We'll go through fire and water for you, Brother Zu!
They didn't know that these questions were all set up by Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu; it was all a ploy.
Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Huang Huang Jieyi: "Brother Zu, I heard that until now, you haven't bought any villas, mansions, or luxury cars. Why is that? You already have enough wealth to do so."
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiled: "Villas, mansions, and then hiring a few servants—that kind of thing has no appeal to me."
"I like the neighbors in Causeway Bay; it has a lot of life, and I can chat and brag with them every day... If it were a villa, I would feel it's too cold and lonely. Perhaps I am someone who likes to be around people."
After hearing this, Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Huang Huang Jieyi immediately looked at Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu with awe.
Truly amazing.
She continued with her questions.
"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, this time you said you won 500 million under the protection of Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Mazu. Have you thought about renovating the temple for Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Mazu?"
"Not really. For these 500 million, I plan to donate it all to charity... Mingxin Hospital is still very short of money, so I'm preparing to give it all to Mingxin Hospital."
The reality was that he was buying the shares of Mingxin Hospital from Five Star Group and putting them into the Five Star Charity Foundation. Moving money from the left hand to the right hand.
He would take out the 500 million cashed out to start Five Star Supermarkets.
But Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Huang Huang Jieyi didn't know this. When Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu said that, she was shocked on the spot.
She looked at Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu in surprise!
Is this greatness?
"500 million? Are you sure?"
"Of course. Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Mazu protected me because I do charity, so naturally, I must use it for charity."
Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Huang Huang Jieyi was instantly moved, feeling that this man was simply too charming.
She said solemnly: "Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, for your charitable act, I express my respect on behalf of all the citizens of Hong Kong!"
Then Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Sir Huang Sir Sir Huang Huang Jieyi couldn't help her curiosity and asked a question that wasn't on the script:
"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan, just now you mentioned that you don't buy villas or mansions. Could it be that part of the reason is that you use the money for charity? Because everyone has known for a long time that you like to do charity."
!.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu smiled without answering.
Because if he answered, it would feel like he was bragging about himself.
It's better to let the citizens figure it out for themselves.
At noon, ATV News reported the segment of ATV welcoming Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.
Citizens all over Hong Kong were gossiping about it.
And Boss Li felt that something was a bit off.
It seemed like Tycoon Zheng and Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu had a pretty good relationship.
Damn, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's strength had expanded again.
Evening, 18:30, the sunset glow over Hong Kong draped the city in a red coat, gradually turning to darkness.
Over in Causeway Bay,
Five Star Group building.
"Ring ring ring~~~"
Ah Wah's phone rang; his assistant called:
"Brother Wah, that hitman has come to Causeway Bay again."
Ah Wah: "Good, don't worry about him, let him in."
After hanging up, Ah Wah went to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's office to report to him.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was curious: "You guys, does this guy not know that Causeway Bay is my territory? Does he not know that I have a bunch of people under me who can fight? Is he here to throw his life away?"
Ah Wah shrugged: "I guess they aren't from the underworld, so they don't know about these things."
That was the only explanation.
Following Xiao Fu, standing to the side, said coldly: "Brother Zu, let me go kill him!"
Brother Zu was his boss and benefactor; now that someone actually wanted to kill Brother Zu, they were simply looking for death.
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu thought for a moment and shook his head: "Call Ah Bu to handle it."
In *SPL II*, it was the Wolf Warrior Jing who killed him, so according to the arrangement of fate, it should be the Wolf Warrior Bu who kills him here.
Only then could Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's obsessive-compulsive disorder be satisfied.
At this time,
The hitman Zhang Chi was driving a black Toyota, appearing on the streets of Causeway Bay.
He drove toward the Five Star Group building.
After his first scouting trip, he had been arranging for his underlings to keep an eye on the place.
According to the intelligence provided by his underlings, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was currently in the Five Star Group building.
It was now 18:40, and it was getting late; Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu should be getting off work soon.
As soon as Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu appeared at the entrance, he would drive over and bang, bang, bang~~~
Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu would be riddled with bullets, and then he would drive away.
Perfect!
As for the flying daggers, although he preferred using them, considering this was Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's territory, killing Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu might cause his underlings to go berserk, so it was better to shoot him and get away early.
Soon,
He drove to a spot 30 meters away from the Five Star building.
He could see the entrance of the Five Star Group building at a glance; as soon as Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu appeared, he would drive over and bang, bang, bang~~
He had just stopped the car and unbuckled his seatbelt.
He began to wait,
At this moment, a person suddenly appeared on the side.
A punch!
Boom~~~ The glass shattered directly, covering Zhang Chi's face.
Then a hand grabbed Zhang Chi's collar and dragged him out through the broken glass, dripping with blood.
He threw him onto the ground.
Zhang Chi, who was dazed and confused, recognized the baby-faced person in front of him; he seemed to be one of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's underlings.
Zhang Chi: "!!!"
He realized he had been exposed.
No, when was I exposed?
Never mind, I must kill him and run!
Whoosh—
He jumped up and pulled a dagger from his belt.
He charged at Ah Bu.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~ The dagger flashed with a cold light; Zhang Chi thought he should be able to quickly cut the person in front of him down.
Boom!
Then the hitman Zhang Chi felt a pain in his chest, his ribs snapped with a crack, and he flew up, crashing into his own car.
He passed out on the spot.
Ah Bu: "?????"
His cold baby face revealed a hint of confusion.
Why is he so weak?
Ah Bu thought that since this hitman had broken into Causeway Bay so brazenly, he must be very strong—the kind of powerhouse who could cut through Causeway Bay.
As a result...
Just this?
No, brother, who gave you the courage?
Over in North Point,
Hong Hong Wengang's underlings had already arrived at the motorcycle shop.
They had finally investigated whose blood that bag of matched blood belonged to.
Now they were here for the final confirmation.
"Boss, has anyone come here to buy a motorcycle lately?"
He asked the shop owner with a fake, hypocritical smile.
This was a clue provided by the nurse from the blood donation van.
The shop owner was wearing a tank top and flip-flops; while picking his foot, he cursed: "Are you talking nonsense? I run a motorcycle shop, how could no one come to buy a motorcycle?"
"Sorry, sorry, what I meant was: has there been a young girl with shoulder-length hair who is also quite pretty?"
"Huh, now that you mention it, there really was."
"When did she come to buy the bike?"
"Three days ago."
Hong Hong Wengang's underling's eyes lit up.
That's right, that's the time.
The shop owner shared gossip with him: "She was buying a bike for her brother, and since she didn't have enough money, she went to donate blood to make up the difference."
Donating blood—the keyword!
Hong Hong Wengang's underling was excited: "Yes, yes, yes, that's her!"
"Where is she?"
The shop owner looked at him vigilantly: "Are you a bad guy?"
Hong Hong Wengang's underling quickly puffed out his chest and said: "Look at me, suit and tie, I'm a good guy, how could I be a bad guy? This time, because she donated blood, she won a prize! 1 million! So I came to find her to take her to collect the prize. So, where does she live?"
"Looks like you really are a good guy."
"However..."
The shop owner's mouth curled into a sinister smile,
"I'm not a good guy, hehehe~~~~"
Bad guy sinister laugh!
Hong Hong Wengang's underling was stunned: "Ah?"
The shop owner rubbed his fingers: "1,000 Brother Brother Brother Brother Brother Tian Brother Brother Tian Brother Tian Yuan, and I'll tell you her address."
Hong Hong Wengang's underling almost vomited blood.
Local ruffians, such poor quality!
