Chapter 326

Zhang Guobiao was serious: "I subscribe to every issue of the 'Gazette,' and the matter of Legislative Councilors has been reported all over Hong Kong these past few days. The Five Star Group and the Legislative Councilor matter make me feel very strange."

Xie Faxin was satisfied: "Come to the ICAC tomorrow to sign and join; remember to wear a mask and hat!"

Zhang Guobiao was serious: "Sir, before joining, I have one more request."

Xie Faxin: "Speak."

Zhang Guobiao: "I suppose big sir should have an undercover agent at the Five Star Group, right? And they have even risen to an important position? Who is it? I want to know about this person's existence."

Xie Faxin was shocked: "You can even guess this?"

Zhang Guobiao: "It's because of your confidence, big sir! You are too confident in letting me become a Legislative Councilor, which is why I dared to make such a deduction."

Xie Faxin was already a bit regretful at this time. This Zhang Guobiao is really smart; it would be quite good to keep him for his own use.

Forget it, he couldn't find a suitable person to go undercover for the time being, and the Viceroy wanted him to handle this matter.

"This person is Tan Meili."

"It's her..."

"Come to the ICAC tomorrow to handle the procedures. When you come, remember to call my phone, and I will have my secretary go down to pick you up!"

Handling the entry procedures is to settle Zhang Guobiao's heart.

Making up the entry procedures means he is an informant; he is afraid Zhang Guobiao will defect. Once he joins the job, he will have a sense of belonging.

Zhang Guobiao stood at attention: "Yes, sir!"

Kwun Tong District.

Kowloon Bay,

A new day, the sun rises.

Zhang Guobiao wore casual clothes, carried a shoulder bag, wore a mask to cover his horse face, and then put on a hat.

Prepared to go out.

"Son, aren't you going to start your job? Why are you dressed like this?" Mom was curious.

"Start the job? My job fell through; they didn't want me at all, so I'm going to look for a new job." Zhang Guobiao told a little lie.

"What kind of company is it that doesn't want my son? They must be blind." Zhang Guobiao's mother was full of disdain; her son was the best.

Saying goodbye to his mother, he came out of the house.

His home was on the second floor of the bookstore; in Hong Kong, many shops are like this—the first floor for business, the second floor for home.

And at the shop entrance, there were some newspapers, which could be considered a form of newsstand.

Zhang Guobiao took a newspaper.

"Eh~~~"

"Shock! Famous Barrister Ni Ming suspected of having AIDS!"

Zhang Guobiao's father was a lawyer before he died, so Zhang Guobiao happened to know Ni Ming, and there was a grudge with his father.

"AIDS? Heh~~~"

Zhang Guobiao glanced at it and stopped paying attention, instead taking another newspaper.

"Mommy, bye-bye~~~"

"Bye-bye, look for a job well~~"

Zhang Guobiao quickly got on a bus heading to Wan Chai, found a seat, and started reading the newspaper.

20 minutes later, after passing through the Eastern Harbour Crossing, he arrived at the ICAC headquarters building located in North Point.

Got off the bus,

Called Xie Faxin.

Not long after, Xie Faxin's secretary came down to take him up, and he arrived at Xie Faxin's office to handle various procedures.

Then took an oath: "I swear: I will resolutely uphold..."

After the oath,

Xie Faxin smiled and patted his shoulder: "From today on, you are a person of the ICAC! The ICAC is your home!"

Zhang Guobiao also felt an extra burden on his body: "Yes, sir! I will definitely complete the task!"

Soon, Zhang Guobiao left the ICAC.

Took a look,

Then directly took a bus to Causeway Bay.

Arrived at the bus stop near the downstairs of the Five Star Building and stopped.

"Should I go find Brother Wu Ying?"

"Or should I just go directly?"

Zhang Guobiao thought for a while and felt that finding Brother Wu Ying was too conspicuous, and with his own strength, he would definitely not be buried.

Thinking of this,

Zhang Guobiao headed straight for the Five Star Group building.

Just as he was about to enter the main gate,

A car stopped on the side of the road,

Brother Wu Ying got off the car,

Pinching an orchid finger.

"I kiss you goodbye, on the empty street~~"

Zhang Guobiao: "............"

This is too coincidental, right? He could even run into Brother Wu Ying here?

Quickly stepped aside.

Brother Wu Ying hummed a song while entering the building to find Guan Zu.

After Zhang Guobiao saw Brother Wu Ying go upstairs, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, a shadow struck, and someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing here? Sneaky!"

The Hong Xing lackey looked at Zhang Guobiao with full vigilance.

Zhang Guobiao quickly took out a document bag: "My name is Zhang Guobiao, a PhD graduate from the University of Hong Kong. This time, I admire the Five Star Group and want to come for an interview."

The Hong Xing lackey checked the documents; they were quite detailed, so he nodded and waved:

"Follow me, I'll take you to the Human Resources Department."

"Thank you."

Zhang Guobiao arrived at the Human Resources Department and submitted his materials. When the HR staff saw "PhD graduate from the University of Hong Kong," they attached great importance to it and called secretary Fang Ting directly.

Soon, Guan Zu received the call.

"PhD graduate from the University of Hong Kong?"

"Zhang Guobiao?"

"Good, have him come directly to my office."

Soon, Zhang Guobiao arrived outside Guan Zu's office, and Li Jie searched him.

Zhang Guobiao was dumbfounded.

Still need to be searched?

Li Jie explained: "Last time, an assassin came to assassinate the boss, so it's stricter now."

Zhang Guobiao: "Ah?"

Is it that exciting?

After the inspection, Zhang Guobiao finally entered Guan Zu's office.

He observed the office, observed Guan Zu, and finally placed his gaze on the couplet behind Guan Zu: "Open and honest, law-abiding, and kind to others."

He thought to himself: 'The more you lack something, the more you emphasize it.'

Guan Zu also sized up Zhang Guobiao. He actually didn't quite remember who the name Zhang Guobiao was; it wasn't very familiar.

But as soon as he saw Zhang Guobiao's horse face, he immediately knew who it was!

The ICAC investigation director from "Cold War."

This guy is a person with a very high IQ, appreciated by Liu Jiehui, who wanted to win him over to the Police Force to do things for Liu Jiehui.

Of course, his shortcomings are also obvious—lack of experience, lack of emotional intelligence training, relatively reckless. The most famous thing is: directly rushing into the Police Force senior management meeting room to take away the Police Force's second-in-command, Li Wenbin!

"Undercover, right?"

Guan Zu was happy.

Just right, he is currently lacking labor.

"Lack of emotional intelligence and lack of experience doesn't matter; I only need IQ!"

Next was the interview process. Guan Zu asked Zhang Guobiao some questions. Although Zhang Guobiao wasn't familiar with them, he still had his own understanding and ideas. This guy's IQ might even be higher than Tan Meili's.

Talking to the end,

Guan Zu stood up: "Mr. Zhang Guobiao, I am very satisfied with your conditions. When can you start working?"

Zhang Guobiao was confident: "Tomorrow afternoon is fine!"

Guan Zu: "Do you and your mother want to move over from Kwun Tong? Of course, if you don't want to move, it's no problem."

Zhang Guobiao: "My mother has lived in Kwun Tong for more than thirty years; she probably doesn't want to move. I can move over, though."

Guan Zu nodded: "In view of your talent, I think you can be competent for management positions in various companies and the head office. I will give you three months to work in various companies. The better you perform, the better the treatment I will give you after you become a regular employee—a million-dollar annual salary, and I can even give you shares!"

Zhang Guobiao: "!!!"

Awesome!

Worthy of the legendary thirst for talent!

Too generous!

"Boss, please rest assured, my performance will definitely make you very bright!"

"I'm looking forward to it!"

The two shook hands!

At this time,

Guan Zu looked at the top of Zhang Guobiao's head—"Loyalty 30%."

Guan Zu smiled: "Then this afternoon, go find Gao Jin and learn under him for half a month first."

After speaking, he threw a "Work/Study Energy Card (10 days)" to Zhang Guobiao.

"Yes!"

After Zhang Guobiao left, Guan Zu made a phone call to Gao Jin: "I recruited a genius here named Zhang Guobiao, PhD graduate, feels like he should be an undercover agent for the ICAC. He will go to your side this afternoon; use him ruthlessly (didn't use the wrong word)!"

Gao Jin: "Understood!"

"Hehehe~~~"

"Jiejiejie~~~"

The two laughed across the phone.

Zhang Guobiao, who was taking the elevator downstairs, shivered, feeling like he was being watched by something bad.

Guan Zu hung up the phone and looked at the newspaper on the table.

"Barrister Ni Ming, suspected of having AIDS..."

Corner of mouth curled!

The law firm where Ni Ming is located.

!.

The distribution of newspapers was like a giant stone thrown into a lake, stirring up layers of ripples within the law firm.

On the front page, Ni Ming's name stood side by side with the three heavy words "AIDS," like a bolt from the blue, shocking all the law firm employees.

"My God,"

"He actually has..."

"I said, why is he always so stingy... it turns out this is the reason."

"This~~"

One by one, the employees were incredulous and terrified.

They had been working on the same office floor as Ni Ming, so there was a certain chance of infection.

That's AIDS!

Although you can live for a long time, it will cause the immune system to collapse, the chance of getting sick will be greatly increased, and also...

Turning pale at the mention of AIDS!

"There is also a list of women he has had contact with... 3 of them..."

"His secretary also..."

"Hiss, isn't this the person in our law firm who got promoted very quickly?"

The three women on the list were directly dumbfounded and shouted quickly:

"I didn't, it's all a frame-up!"

However, no one believed it.

Besides these three, there were several other women who had had contact with Ni Ming before, and their faces also changed slightly, their hearts panicked.

Just at this moment, the door of the law firm was gently pushed open, and Ni Ming's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

He looked a bit tired, but his body was still straight, and he brought out his spirit.

At this time, he didn't know that he had already become the headline news in the newspaper.

"Good morning, everyone."

Ni Ming greeted with a smile.

If it were usual, a bunch of colleagues and subordinates would definitely greet him enthusiastically.

But today...

When Ni Ming saw the strange, fearful eyes of the employees, as well as their instinctive backward movements, and then saw the newspaper on the table, his smile instantly froze.

He grabbed the newspaper fiercely.

His eyes stared fixedly at the headline, and the expression on his face went from surprise to incredulity, and then to fury!

He still wanted to hide it, still wanted to drag everyone down!

As a result, it was exposed so quickly?

Who is it?

Finally, he pretended to be angry: "Damn it, this newspaper dares to slander me like this; I want to sue it!"

However, his clumsy performance in panic appeared full of loopholes.

All the staff around saw through everything.

At this time,

The law firm boss's secretary walked over.

"Mr. Ni, the boss wants to see you..."

Ni Ming walked into the boss's office with a livid face.

The boss looked at him coldly: "You resign..."

He was very angry; once this news came out, those partners probably wouldn't dare to cooperate with him anymore.

Ni Ming shook his head: "No, I cannot resign!"

Once he resigned, it would confirm the rumor that he had AIDS.

"It's not up to you whether you resign or not; you have AIDS, no one will work with you."

"I don't have AIDS..."

"Heh, it's come to this, and you still want to lie to me? Do you want to go to the hospital directly and have a check-up? You resign, and the relationship is still there; you don't resign, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Finally, Ni Ming left the law firm in a sorry state.

Then the law firm boss gave an order—all law firm staff, collective physical examination!

He must prove to all partners in Hong Kong that my law firm is very clean!

Ni Ming held the resignation box and walked out of the law firm.

The sunlight outside was blinding.

He got into the car, and after driving onto the main road.

The traffic was like a weave, and Ni Ming's thoughts began to drift, losing his mind for a moment.

Suddenly, he heard a honk-honk-honk~~~ horn sound approaching rapidly; he was startled and instinctively turned the steering wheel...

As the car turned, an abrupt bridge pier appeared in his sight like a giant beast, getting closer and closer, closer and closer...

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the car hit the bridge pier fiercely. The collision between metal and concrete produced a harsh friction sound, and the car body instantly twisted and deformed.

Ni Ming only felt a huge impact coming, pain surged like a tide, completely drowning his consciousness.

When everything returned to calm, Ni Ming found himself lying in a ruin, surrounded by scattered car body fragments and broken glass. He tried to move, but found that his lower body seemed to have lost sensation...

"Am I paralyzed?"

He began to feel terrified.

"Help~~~ help~~~"

Not long after, someone rushed over.

"Quick, save him!"

"Come and help~~~"

"Wait, he is that barrister Ni Ming!"

"Wait for what? Hurry up and save him!"

"No way, he has AIDS!"

"Ah?"

The enthusiastic citizens who were shouting to save people were scared and stepped back.

It's too damn scary!

Ni Ming's face and body were covered in blood; these are all viruses.

"Better call an ambulance quickly..."

"Let the professionals come."

Ni Ming listened, furious, and shouted: "Save me, I'll give 200,000..."

As a result, the citizens said: "Even 200,000, we dare not save you~~~"

Just at this moment, the fuel tank caught fire and began to burn.

Those citizens were even more afraid to save him.

Soon, the flames began to burn on Ni Ming's body.

18 hours later, when he woke up again, he was already in a hospital ward, his lower body still unable to move.

The doctor told him that his tailbone was severely damaged, leading to paraplegia of the lower body.

That night,

He had a dream.

Dreamed: In this councilor election, he won 17 out of 18 seats.

Dreamed: Won the appreciation of the new Viceroy, Fat Peng.

Dreamed: Won the 1995 American Bar Association International Human Rights Award, the 1996 Liberal International Freedom Award, the 1997 American National Endowment for Democracy award...

Dreamed: In the next ten years, he was still calling the wind and rain in Hong Kong.

Dreamed: In 2015, he was personally met and talked with by US Vice President Biden at the White House.

Just when he was in this beautiful dream...

Suddenly woke up.

Returning to reality, he felt again the crippled lower body lying on the hospital bed, a desperate second half of his life.

"No!!"

In the ward, a voice full of his despair came out.

Political dream shattered!
