Chapter 283: Li Family Exposed, All of Hong Kong Curses, Stocks Plummet!

"President!"

"There's big news!"

The news about Li Li Cangdong was quickly delivered by 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 to the news director, who then reported it to 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.

"What? The eldest son of Boss Li is involved in the organ trafficking syndicate case?!"

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 was shocked.

That was the richest man, Li! For the Li family, this was absolutely a major scandal!

Her first reaction was to call Boss Li to try and curry favor, but after the warning from Boss Lin yesterday, she didn't dare to act recklessly; if she were fired by ATV, she would be nothing.

All her connections were in the media industry; without the position of ATV President, TVB would never want a traitor like her, and her entire network would be ruined.

Was she supposed to go run a newspaper? How low-class!

"Boss, there's a news story today..."

She hurriedly called to report to Boss Lin.

Boss Lin: "I already know about this. Just report it as usual; there is no need to fear Boss Li."

Hearing this, 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 broke out in a cold sweat.

It was a good thing she reported it; if she had acted on her own and suppressed the report, she would have been truly doomed.

Soon,

the news reached the news department and it exploded immediately.

"My god, it actually involves Boss Li."

"Has Boss Li been having too much bad luck lately? Did he forget to pray to Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Goddess Mazu?"

"Oh no, my Cheung Kong Group stocks, sell them quickly!"

"I'm selling mine too."

Many people hurriedly called their stockbrokers.

Once this news broke, Cheung Kong Group's stocks were bound to plummet.

And Li Li Cangdong went directly into the studio as a guest for the noon news to answer the host's questions.

This was an unprecedented event.

On Boss Li's side,

he was currently in his villa, constantly trying to figure out how to resolve this matter.

However, with Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie's involvement in such a kidney-harvesting affair, let alone Boss Liu stuffing two golf balls into a female star, even stuffing a basketball wouldn't fix this.

The nature of this was far more malicious than the charity incident.

"Ring, ring, ring~~~"

His private phone rang.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Mr. Li..."

Boss Lin exchanged a few polite words before explaining that Li Li Cangdong had come to the television station to blow the whistle.

"He went there?"

Boss Li was shocked!

He had already sent people to tail Li Li Cangdong; how could he not have known that Li Li Cangdong went to ATV?

Boss Li felt a bit annoyed at his subordinates for their incompetence.

Boss Lin then mentioned two more things:

I am going to short you.

But I will also broadcast the news on ATV.

Boss Li: "............"

Although he was angry about being shorted and reported on, the cause of the matter was his own eldest son.

What else could he do?

The other party was engaging in normal business behavior.

Moreover, notifying him in advance was already doing him a great favor, and he even had to thank him.

"Thank you for the heads-up, Boss Lin."

"You're welcome."

It was 10 o'clock, two hours until the noon news.

Time was of the essence; Boss Li didn't want to say more, chatted a few more words, hung up, and hurriedly called his think tank.

He was too emotionally involved to think clearly and needed his think tank to offer advice.

10:30,

in the Cheung Kong Group conference room, the advisors arrived one after another.

Mr. Li explained the situation, and the think tank members were dumbfounded.

From yesterday until now, the think tank members had also been following the gossip; there were rumors that many wealthy people were involved and many hospitals had been raided.

As it turned out, the gossip had now reached their own boss.

There was a moment of silence.

Boss Li's expression: "The problem now is that the ATV news will air at 12 o'clock. We have an hour and a half left; what should we do?"

"Should we hold a press conference to proactively admit our mistake?"

"Should we hold the press conference after 12 o'clock?"

"Or before 12 o'clock?"

A media advisor: "Can we suppress the news?"

Boss Li shook his head: "No, Boss Lin has invested money to short Cheung Kong Holdings' stock. Notifying me now is already giving me face."

The think tank members: "............"

Boss Lin is such a sly fox!

Another advisor: "I believe we must act as quickly as possible, that is, before 12 o'clock, earlier than ATV, to hold a press conference. Invite all the reporters in Hong Kong, especially those from ATV and TVB. By the way, the radio stations are also very important; they are the fastest and can broadcast our apology news before the television station airs it."

The other think tank members were hesitant at first, then supportive, and finally all agreed.

"I support it!"

"I support it!"

Boss Li made a prompt decision: "Good!"

Without another word, he began instructing his secretary to get it done immediately.

Before the secretary could leave, another secretary ran in and whispered a report to Boss Li.

"Boss, it's bad. The radio station just broadcast news about the ATV report."

"What? Did they mention Li Superintendent Superintendent Situ Superintendent Situ Situ Situ Situ Situ Jie's matter?"

"No, it was just a promotional advertisement."

Boss Li breathed a sigh of relief: "That's a relief."

In order to make a splash with their noon ratings, ATV was going all out, contacting major radio stations to promote the segment.

In Hong Kong at this time, radio stations were a very important branch of entertainment, led mainly by Radio Television Hong Kong, Commercial Radio Hong Kong, and Metro Radio. Through broadcasting systems—including homes, public places, and taxis—they reported news... and played music to all citizens of Hong Kong...

On the road, in a red taxi.

At this moment, Song Song Zihao was driving a white-collar worker to a government department.

"This is FM*** Music Radio. Next, let's enjoy the latest hit song, 'You Are So Poisonous'..."

"This song is sung by the newly rising musical genius, Wu Ying..."

"You say I'm playing dirty so you can't leave, you say I'm selfish and only care about my own love, gusts of rain follow the howling wind..."

The white-collar passenger in the back seat was listening with great interest, and when it reached the climax, he even shouted along: "You are so poisonous! You are so poisonous, woo woo woo~~!"

Song Song Zihao, who was driving, had his mouth twitch.

He didn't expect that guy Wu Ying to have such high musical talent.

Just then,

in the middle of the song,

the radio host said: "Dear listeners, please wait... the radio station has just received a piece of breaking news. We will pause the song for now; everyone, please listen to this news first..."

The white-collar worker and Song Song Zihao: "????"

Every interruption meant major news.

How exciting!

The radio host:

"Just a moment ago, ATV provided a piece of information. The organ trafficking syndicate that has been the hottest topic over the past two days involves over a dozen wealthy individuals who participated in organ transplants. One of them is a member of the top-tier wealthy elite."

"If you want to hear more detailed news, please watch the ATV noon news."

"At that time, there will be detailed video footage in the ATV noon news."

At this moment,

The white-collar worker and Song Song Zihao inside the taxi were both shocked!

"Wow? You're kidding, right?"

"A top-tier tycoon?"

"Holy crap!"

The white-collar worker excitedly and rapidly picked up his phone to call his friends and family.

"Explosive news, I just..."

Sharing gossip is endless fun!

This scene played out in countless taxis across Hong Kong, in public places with radios, and in homes where tape recorders were turned on...

One told four, four told ten... the news spread rapidly.

Hundreds... thousands... tens of thousands... hundreds of thousands...

In less than an hour, hundreds of thousands of citizens across Hong Kong knew the news, and they were all damn excited.

Time to eat melons, time to eat melons!

Even the employees of the Cheung Kong Group transformed into badgers in a melon field.

... 11:20...

Reporters from TVB, ATV News, newspapers, and radio stations all received the notification and rushed urgently to the Cheung Kong Group.

A travel allowance of 5,000!

They were practically fighting tooth and nail for it!

They arrived at the banquet hall of the Cheung Kong Group.

A group of reporters gathered together and started gossiping.

"Why is the Cheung Kong Group so strange this time? It's the first time they've given such a high travel allowance, and it's so urgent."

"Yeah, it really is strange."

"By the way, did you hear the news on the radio?"

"I heard it; I had already guessed that a tycoon was involved."

"Wait... could it be the Li family? You have to know that Li Da is missing a kidney."

"Hiss~~~~"

!.

The entire room gasped, their eyes filled with excitement.

Soon,

Mr. Li arrived, bringing Li Da with him.

To win the sympathy of the citizens, Li Da had specially applied haggard makeup, walked like a patient, and even prepared ginger slices in his hand.

Soon, following Mr. Li's narration and Li Da's bowing and apology, the reason was clarified.

The entire hall buzzed and exploded like a pot.

"Crazy, this is crazy!"

Li Da was passionate and moving; he wiped his eyes with the ginger-juice-covered hand, and tears instantly streamed down.

Damn it, it's too spicy, fuck!

The tears simply wouldn't stop.

"I'm sorry, although I didn't know someone would be so deranged as to kidnap others to..."

"I shouldn't have offered a reward of 100 million..."

"It's my fault!"

"I express my apologies to the person who was kidnapped..."

He bowed three times in a row, the 90-degree kind.

Then Mr. Li spoke about Li Da's physical condition, talked about a father's love, and his guilt toward the kidnapped person, then wiped his eyes with a ginger-scallion hand, and tears also gushed out.

Fuck, so spicy!

A farce ended amidst the buzzing and noisy clamor.

One by one, the reporters left excitedly.

There were also some reporters who looked like they were mourning their parents, cursing and swearing in anger.

"Damn bastards!"

"I still have Cheung Kong Group stock!"

"I thought I was buying the dip, but now it looks like I bought it halfway up the mountain!"

At this time, it was already almost 12 o'clock.

The stock market was about to close for the lunch break!

One could imagine that in the afternoon, the Cheung Kong Group's stock would definitely be trampled crazily by countless old-hand retail investors; it was bound to collapse.

As time passed, 11:52:40...

There remained,

7 minutes...

All citizens of Hong Kong had no heart to work, no heart to get off work, no heart to eat, no heart to go home...

They were waiting for the latest news on the big tycoon.

Some people had already heard on the radio that the Li family had held a press conference to publicly apologize, and that the top-tier tycoon was Mr. Li's eldest son, Li Da!

They wanted to watch ATV News even more.

As for TVB?

Even dogs wouldn't watch it now!

This time, ATV's viewership rating would definitely break over 90%!

At the Lei Youcai company,

Lei Youcai came out of his office, preparing to have his employees do some work.

As a result... the office area was empty.

"Eh? How come this bunch of people all ran off?"

He called to ask,

Secretary: "Boss, big news, they all ran off to watch TV!"

Boss Lei: "What news?"

Secretary: "Radio station news, Mr. Li's eldest son participated in the criminal activities of an organ trafficking group, and the 12 o'clock ATV News will report it."

"What!!"

"Holy crap!"

Lei Youcai checked the time and sprinted downstairs to go to the restaurant downstairs that had a television to watch the news.

His leather shoes almost flew off.

This scene was happening all over Hong Kong.

All of Hong Kong was a melon field, and there were badgers everywhere.

12:00:00

ATV Midday News, officially broadcast.

All Hong Kong citizens locked onto the ATV television station!

ATV News Anchor: "Good afternoon, viewers! Welcome to ATV News, I am your midday news anchor. Today, we continue to follow that organ trafficking case that shocked all of Hong Kong; as of today, there have been new major developments in the case."

"According to the latest news, the eldest son of Hong Kong's richest man, Mr. Li, offered a sky-high price of 100 million HKD to find a suitable kidney source. Unfortunately, this news was exploited by the criminal group that has already been dismantled by the police, who derangedly kidnapped a woman, Chen Xue, who was a match for his kidney, and attempted to perform an illegal organ extraction surgery on her."

"Fortunately, our police acted swiftly, arrived at the scene in time, and heroically rescued Chen Xue from the clutches of the devil, preventing a tragedy from occurring."

"Regarding this matter, Mr. Li and his eldest son urgently held a press conference an hour ago. At the conference, they publicly apologized to the public, expressed their immense guilt for the series of vile events triggered by their personal affairs, and promised to fully cooperate with the police investigation..."

"The following is the live footage from Mr. Li's press conference."

(In the footage, the Li family apologizes repeatedly, bows, and sheds tears.)

"Next, we have invited Chen Xue's ex-husband, Mr. Li Li Cangdong, to our news studio (the news footage was sent to Li Li Cangdong); it was he who reported it to ATV, allowing us to accurately grasp the information regarding the eldest son of the Li family... It is worth mentioning that Mr. Li Li Cangdong has another identity—Chief Inspector of the Criminal Intelligence Bureau."

Anchor: "Mr. Li Li Cangdong, hello. Just 40 minutes ago, Mr. Li and the eldest son of the Li family held a press conference to apologize for this incident and to your ex-wife..."

Li Li Cangdong sneered: "They didn't know they were wrong; they knew they were about to be exposed. They called me several times, wanting to pay me money to keep me from exposing it. But once I saw my ex-wife like that, how could I have the heart to take this money? That's why I came to the TV station to expose it."

All over Hong Kong, all the viewers watching ATV News were stunned by these overwhelming revelations.

"My god, it was actually the eldest son of the Li family!"

"He actually shed tears."

"He is indeed quite miserable."

"Miserable? Can he be as miserable as the woman who almost had her organs extracted? The news said she was already anesthetized and cut open; one more cut and her kidney would have been removed."

"Ex-husband Li Li Cangdong?"

"Can I assume that because of Li Li Cangdong, Boss Li could no longer suppress the news, so he hurriedly called a press conference to apologize?"

"Mr. Li is right: they don't know they were wrong; they know they were about to be exposed!"

The citizens of all Hong Kong felt they had found the truth.

Followed by anger.

How many times has this been?

The last charity incident is still fresh in our minds, and now that it's finally over, you give me this?

Apologize?

If apologies were useful, what would we need the police for?

The citizens of all Hong Kong cursed:

"Damn it, does the Li family not do anything human?"

"They are too corrupt!"

Li family reputation -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1...

They are just one step away from their reputation stinking up the whole street!

West Kowloon, a certain restaurant,

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang and his men were eating and watching the news in their rented apartment.

"Damn it, this Li family is too corrupt."

"Yeah, compared to them, we are still too kind!"

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang's brothers felt that these people high above were worse than themselves.

Zhang Zhang Ziqiang thought for a moment and slapped the table.

"How about we set our target on this Li family!"

"We can consider this acting on behalf of heaven! And make some money while we're at it!"

In the afternoon,

The stock market opened.

Cheung Kong Group stocks plummeted in response!

They fell 5% in just 5 minutes!

The speed of the drop was astonishing!

A large number of stock market veterans fled one after another, seeing who could escape the fastest!
