Chapter 357

Once Matriarch Li went offline,

The Li family began to have internal power struggles.

The eldest son, the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and other collateral relatives all joined the ranks of the scramble.

Bang, bang, bang~~~~ constantly ringing!

And all the newspapers in Hong Kong were like sharks smelling blood, reporting one after another.

For several days in a row, the news of the Li family's internal strife was put on the front page.

"Shocking Change in the Wealthy Family! Matriarch Li in Critical Condition After Surgery, Power Vacuum Leads to Internal Strife"

"The Curtain Rises on the Li Family's Power Struggle, Matriarch's Coma Becomes the Fuse"

"The Glory of the Former Wealthy Family Fades: Li Family's Internal Strife Surfaces..."

"Business Giant's Backyard on Fire: Li Family's Power Struggle..."

The eldest son took the lead, relying on his past experience in assisting the matriarch in managing Hysan Development, and quickly took control of Hysan Development. He claimed to be only acting as a manager to prevent the family business from falling into chaos, but in reality, he secretly won over trusted senior executives, intending to consolidate his foundation in the power structure.

The second daughter had just escaped from the nightmare of kidnapping, but after experiencing great changes, her character was more resilient. Relying on her financial ability, she gained the support of financial groups such as HSBC and Swire, and seized this part of the power.

The eldest daughter was not to be outdone, seeking Cathay, China Coal, etc...

Although the collateral relatives had scattered forces, they were represented by Li Chang, who shouted at the family meeting under the banner of "maintaining family orthodoxy and sharing benefits equally."

Soon,

Low-level tactics began to emerge.

The eldest son's many lovers...

The eldest daughter's nightclub***...

The second daughter's **** in the United States...

For a time, the entire Hong Kong was eating melons.

No one expected that a kidnapping would cause such a big thing.

Happy!

Too happy!

"Li Family Collapses! Matriarch Critical, Children Madly Snatching Hysan, HSBC, and Other Shares"

"Li Family Power Chaos! Various Industries Trapped in Power Struggle Vortex..."

"Matriarch Sick, Li Family's War Rages..."

"Wealthy Family Scandal..."

Everyone was watching to see who would reach the top in this Li family power storm, or if it would end in a tragic way.

And what about the matriarch?

She finally woke up, heard the news, almost fainted again, and had another stroke.

Cerebral infarction segment +1!

"Could this be retribution?"

Before fainting, the matriarch muttered this sentence.

Just when the Li family was fighting for power,

Friday,

Harbour City,

Hotel conference hall.

A press conference was officially held.

After several days of consultation, the legal teams of Director Guan Zu and Boss Wu finally finalized the final cooperation terms and completed the signing.

Now, it was the day to hold a press conference and announce it to the outside world.

In the conference hall, dozens of reporters and photographers had already arrived. Cameras and interview microphones were all in place, bustling and lively.

In the center of the stage, a long speaking platform was placed, and microphones were neatly arranged.

Soon, Director Guan Zu, Tan Tan Meili, and Boss Wu walked into the venue.

Director Guan Zu was wearing a well-tailored dark suit, walking steadily, with a calm and confident face.

Tan Tan Meili, in a capable professional suit, matched with exquisite makeup, looked both professional and feminine.

Boss Wu was wearing a blue suit, smiling, and walked onto the stage.

The three heavyweight figures took their seats, and thunderous applause erupted in the venue.

"Everyone!"

Director Guan Zu smiled and looked around,

"Today, we are very happy to announce that the Five-Star Group has officially reached a cooperation with the Wharf Group!"

"Five-Star Supermarket officially enters Harbour City!"

"This time, Five-Star Supermarket will build a large-scale space of 153,000 square feet to provide all customers with a better shopping experience. At the same time, it will open a super-large children's playground of over 8,000 square feet to solve the shopping worries of customers with children..."

"On behalf of Harbour City, I welcome the entry of Five-Star Supermarket..."

"I believe that after the combination of the two, it will bring a more brilliant future to Harbour City..."

Director Guan Zu, Boss Wu, and Tan Tan Meili delivered speeches one after another. In the flash, they were shining, killing many rolls of film.

At noon,

ATV and TVB began to report this news.

On the screen was Director Guan Zu's handsome figure, Tan Tan Meili's exquisite...

"This morning, Five-Star Group and Wharf Group... officially announced that they have reached a strategic cooperation. Five-Star Supermarket will enter Harbour City with a super-large space of 153,000 square feet... bringing an unprecedented shopping experience to family customers..."

"The addition of Five-Star Supermarket will undoubtedly inject new vitality into Harbour City and provide consumers with more diversified and convenient shopping choices..."

"It is worth mentioning that the last time Five-Star Supermarket opened, it was overcrowded because the area was not large enough, which made Mr. Director Guan reflect on his mistakes and decide to increase the area. This time, it directly used 153,000 square feet, an increase of nearly 3 times!"

"..."

The attention of all of Hong Kong finally shifted from the wealthy family dog-blood drama to the Five-Star Supermarket.

"Five-Star Supermarket is entering Harbour City?"

"150,000 square feet, that big!"

"Simply too exaggerated!"

"150,000 square feet, how big is that? I must go see it when it opens."

"I heard there is an 8,000-square-foot children's playground."

"My grandson loves to go to the supermarket to play. He definitely won't want to come out after he goes in."

And that afternoon,

Boss Li was not to be outdone and officially announced that the "Yau Tsim Mong · Kang Family Large Supermarket" had officially started construction!

He held a big press conference and announced on the spot:

Whatever Director Guan Zu has, I have too!

He also said that it would open at the same time as Director Guan Zu, and he wanted to compete for superiority!

The momentum was built up directly.

All Hong Kong media were excited.

"Needle Against Wheat, Who Will Win?"

"Kang Family vs. Five-Star, Can Boss Li Make a Comeback and Win Against Director Guan Zu?"

Continue the melon-eating mode!

Even Macau has started betting!

Director Guan Zu's winning rate is far higher than Boss Li's!

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

Sai Kung,

A certain gambling den, smoke-filled.

Ye Shiguan sat in front of the gambling table with a pile of money in front of him.

Every time, he would pick up a ruler, measure the height of the money, and push it out.

Arrogant!

After the 500 million US dollar ransom went around the world, 200 million US dollars remained.

6 people, each with more than 30 million US dollars, which is about 250 million HKD!

Simply too rich.

Moreover, making money is too simple; money is like toilet paper.

However, Ye Shiguan's luck was not very good, and the owner of this gambling den won every time.

Zhang Ziqiang sat opposite Ye Shiguan: "Brother, forget it, there's no need to give away money like this..."

The owner immediately cursed: "Grass mud horse, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand..."

As a result, Zhang Ziqiang took the opportunity to pull the owner's arm hard. With a "hiss" sound, the cuff was torn, and a pile of hidden cards fell out.

The owner showed no fear: "Humph! On my turf, the rules are set by me! What can you do to me?"

One by one, the subordinates pulled out knives and threatened Zhang Ziqiang and Ye Shiguan.

Ye Shiguan was amused and pulled out his gun without hesitation. Bang, bang, bang~~~ The owner and thugs of the gambling den were all wiped out.

Zhang Ziqiang, however, looked as if Mount Tai had collapsed before him without changing his expression.

"Brother, what's your name?"

"Ye Shiguan!"

"My name is Zhang Ziqiang, from Hong Kong."

Ye Shiguan put the money on the table into a bag and left.

Zhang Ziqiang looked in the direction of his departure, his eyes thoughtful.

He just thought this Ye Shiguan was very domineering, but he didn't know that Ye Shiguan was the kidnapper he had been thinking about meeting.

After Ye Shiguan left the gambling den, he changed several places and finally came to a villa in Tseung Kwan O.

This is the new foothold bought by the Bandit Elite Team.

Pu Guang, the Professor, and others were watching TV while eating instant noodles.

"This morning, Harbour City held a press conference, Five-Star Supermarket and Wharf Group reached a cooperation..."

"This afternoon, Boss Li announced... but Boss Li might lose again."

In the hall, the TV was playing ATV news,

Pu Guang tilted his head and grinned arrogantly: "This Director Guan Zu, is he too much in the limelight? How about we kidnap him next time?"

The Professor also tilted his head and looked at Director Guan Zu on TV with a smile: "I have this idea too."

Hua Tian naturally disagreed: "This Director Guan Zu is a bit difficult to deal with; I'm afraid I'll be a jerk."

The Professor sneered: "But looking at his limelight, I'm really unhappy."

Pu Guang nodded: "That's right, Hong Kong doesn't allow such an awesome person to exist!"

Hua Tian: "............"

His mouth twitched.

These two people, the Professor and Pu Guang, are crazy.

They only allow themselves to be arrogant, and they are unhappy when others are arrogant.

Fortunately, Nan Ge, Cao Nan, and Ye Shiguan all stopped the unreliable ideas of the Professor and Pu Guang.

"The money hasn't been spent yet, and you want to kidnap so early?"

"Happy first."

Hua Tian, Nan Ge, and Cao Nan are all people who use their brains, and Ye Shiguan is also relatively principled, while the Professor and Pu Guang are relatively crazy.

There is always an illusion that a pure wolf team has mixed in 2 huskies.

However,

Kidnap Director Guan Zu?

Everyone looked at Director Guan Zu's news on TV...

A blue Bentley headed towards Caritas Medical Centre.

"Achoo~~~"

In the back seat, Director Guan Zu sneezed.

"Do you have a cold?" Sister Ruan Mei's fair and delicate hand touched Director Guan Zu.

"Maybe someone is thinking of me."

This time, the two went to Caritas Medical Centre because Grandma Choi suddenly fainted. A neighbor sent her to the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed a stroke (cerebral infarction/cerebral embolism). Director Guan Zu and Sister Ruan Mei heard the news and rushed back from the outside. Arriving at Caritas Medical Centre,

Neurology department.

"Mr. Director Guan, Mrs. Director Guan~~"

Along the way, doctors and nurses greeted them respectfully.

When they arrived at the ward, they saw Grandma Choi lying on the hospital bed.

"Grandma, why are you so careless?" Sister Ruan Mei blamed her with heartache. After all, Grandma is old, and pain is the most tormenting.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Grandma Choi smiled and pulled her good grandson-in-law Director Guan Zu to sit down.

Sister Ruan Mei having Director Guan Zu as a good home is considered her own blessing for eight lifetimes.

Not long after, the doctor rushed over and told Director Guan Zu and the others that Grandma Choi's condition was not a big problem. After emergency treatment at the hospital, she soon got better.

Director Guan Zu didn't know if the "Patient condition improvement +20%" in the "Medical Halo" worked.

At this time, Director Guan Zu noticed a little girl lying in the next bed, in a coma. ("A Guilty Conscience")

That night, Sister Ruan Mei accompanied her in the hospital, and Director Guan Zu went home.

!.

The next day, Director Guan Zu brought breakfast, and Grandma Choi was in good spirits.

Sister Ruan Mei shared the gossip she heard with Director Guan Zu.

"Brother Zu, the girl in the next bed is so miserable. She's only 8 years old, and she's a mute. I heard that her mother pushed her the day before yesterday, and she hit the corner of the table, bleeding heavily, and almost died. But now she is still in a coma and hasn't woken up."

Director Guan Zu frowned: "There is such a cruel mother?"

He turned his head to look at the little girl, and couldn't help but feel pity.

Director Guan Zu quickly called the doctor: "How is her body now?"

The doctor said: "Back to Mr. Director Guan, she is still in a coma, and her condition is not stable."

Director Guan Zu: "Where is her father?"

Doctor: "I don't know. I heard there is no father, only a mother. She hit her head at home, bled heavily, and lost a lot of blood. When she was sent here, she had lost too much blood and showed signs of brain death..."

Director Guan Zu couldn't help but soften his heart when looking at the poor child: "This girl is quite pitiful. Please find the best expert to help her take a look."

The doctor nodded: "Okay, I will apply for a grand consultation immediately."

Afternoon,

Director Guan Zu accompanied Grandma Choi and was discharged.

Just when Director Guan Zu thought that his fate with this little girl was over.

The third day,

Director Guan Zu went downstairs because Sister Ruan Mei went to take care of Grandma Choi, so Director Guan Zu had no breakfast to eat and had to come down for breakfast.

First came to the newsstand and bought a newspaper.

The headline was—"Eldest Young Master Li Rides Miss Hong Kong at Night, Fights with Eldest Young Lady Li!"

Then came to the breakfast shop and ordered 2 servings of pork liver rice rolls.

Xiao Fu was chattering on the side: "Heh, a man without a woman to make breakfast is really pitiful~~"

Director Guan Zu: "............"

The boomerang hit his knee.

When Director Guan Zu was waiting for breakfast, he opened the second page of the newspaper:

"Famous Model Mother Kills Daughter Case, Final Trial!"

Director Guan Zu saw the photo of the 'mother' in the newspaper and felt a bit familiar, then looked at the content of the newspaper:

"Famous model Tsang Kit-yee's ruthless daughter-killing case... Defense lawyer Lam Leung-shui..."

Director Guan Zu was stunned!

Lam Leung-shui! Stand-up comedy?

Isn't this "A Guilty Conscience/Abused Daughter Case"?

Director Guan Zu suddenly remembered the plot.

It's probably that this model Tsang Kit-yee had a mute daughter with her lover Chung King-yee. Tsang Kit-yee had been raising her daughter to adulthood, while Chung King-yee had a wife long ago, who is the Hong Kong political and business wealthy family Chung Nim-wah.

On the night of the incident, Chung Nim-wah came to Tsang Kit-yee's house, met the little girl, and the two sides had a dispute. Chung Nim-wah accidentally pushed the little girl, hit the corner of the table, and then caused the head to bleed heavily and fall into a coma.

Chung Nim-wah left quickly, and then her husband Chung King-yee came to the villa, saw his daughter in a coma and bleeding, but still breathing. Chung King-yee finally made a choice, pouring a lot of water into his daughter. As a doctor, he knew that drinking water like this would cause blood loss faster.

He wanted his daughter to die.

He finished feeding the water, then threw the bottle into the trash can, and left quickly.

Not long after, the mother Tsang Kit-yee, who had been drinking and sleeping in the garden for a while, returned to the villa, found her daughter bleeding and in a coma, and rushed her to the hospital.

According to the original plot, the sharp-tongued lawyer Lam Leung-shui was in the hospital, and the little girl had a flash of light, telling him with sign language that "Mom didn't hit me, Mom would never hit me." By the time Lam Leung-shui came back the next day, the little girl had already died and could not provide more evidence.

"Wait!"

"Is she dead?"

Director Guan Zu's heart suddenly lifted.

This little girl is too pitiful, which made Director Guan Zu couldn't help but feel sympathy.

Director Guan Zu picked up the phone and dialed Wu Qianlian's phone: "Help me check the situation of the little girl in bed 34 of the neurology department. Has any lawyer seen her?"

Not long after, Wu Qianlian called back: "She is still in a deep coma. She woke up once the day before yesterday. A lawyer did see her, exactly on the night she woke up."

"The day before yesterday..."

Director Guan Zu calculated the time, which means the little girl didn't die and carried it through.

At this moment, Director Guan Zu truly felt the effect of the "Medical Halo"!

Saved a life that should have died!

Director Guan Zu couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Zu, pork liver rice rolls~~~"

"Thank you~~"

Director Guan Zu started eating...

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, this pork liver rice roll was delicious.

"Wait!"

Director Guan Zu ate halfway, suddenly raised his head, and said to Xiao Fu: "You arrange two people to go to the hospital to protect someone."

Xiao Fu: "Who?"

Director Guan Zu: "A little girl in bed 34 of the neurology department."

That Chung Nim-wah is a ruthless woman. She directly bought a security guard to give false testimony, and then let her husband Chung King-yee testify that Tsang Kit-yee killed her daughter, which led to Tsang Kit-yee finally being imprisoned for 17 years.

And now, the little girl didn't die, so she could become a witness to testify that it was Chung Nim-wah who did it.

This intentional injury crime is enough to send a wealthy family lady to prison for a few years.

Therefore, she might take a risk, find a third party, sneak into the hospital quietly, and kill the little girl.

Xiao Fu nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

As a bodyguard chief, he also has a group of strong men under his command.

At this time,

In the courtroom, the Tsang Kit-yee daughter-killing case was being tried.

Lam Leung-shui asked his witness Chung King-yee: "Mr. Chung, may I ask where you were on the night of the incident?"

Chung King-yee sat in the witness stand: "That night, I was recording a program at the TV station, then returned to Tsang Kit-yee's house, and then saw my daughter lying on the ground, bleeding a lot."

Lam Leung-shui: "Then when you went to Tsang Kit-yee's house, was the door open or closed?"

At this moment, Lam Leung-shui was full of confidence!

Why?

Because yesterday, when he asked Chung King-yee, Chung King-yee said "the door was open." Just this point is enough to prove that other people had entered the house, which could further prove that it could not be 100% proven that Tsang Kit-yee (mother) killed her daughter.

Then, he could successfully help Tsang Kit-yee get acquitted!

Lam Leung-shui smiled and looked at Chung King-yee, opening champagne halfway: Say it, say your testimony.

But!

Chung King-yee sat in the witness stand and said: "The door was closed. I habitually turned on the door light, then opened the door and entered the house."

At this moment, Lam Leung-shui was dumbfounded.

"This door, it was open, right?"

"No, the door was closed."

"Did you remember it wrong?"

"I didn't remember it wrong, the door was locked."

Chung King-yee's answer was firm and powerful.

And in front of his table, a piece of paper was pasted: "I am willing to swear to the Almighty God (Lord)... it is all the facts, and there is no falsehood!"

He recanted!

At this moment, Lam Leung-shui's head was buzzing, buzzing, buzzing~~~~ a blank space.

He felt a black hand mocking him behind his back...

The case reached this point, and it was basically settled.

Finally,

The judge announced: "After the jury's deliberation... the defendant... the charge is established... the victim of this case is a disabled person. As a mother, you not only did not protect your daughter well, but also committed intentional injury to her, causing her serious injury... This case absolutely has aggravating factors... This court... sentences the defendant Tsang Kit-yee to 7 years in prison!"

Bang~~~

Hammer dropped!!

At this moment, even knowing that Tsang Kit-yee was innocent, Lam Leung-shui felt powerless.

He began to regret his sloppiness, regret why he didn't take the lawsuit seriously in court, but instead thought about buying stocks; regret that when he first talked to Chung King-yee, he didn't sign in black and white to nail down the evidence, which led to being recanted by Chung King-yee now, and he was powerless.

Outside the courtroom,

The assistant lawyer mocked him angrily: "You said 'won,' 'done,' 'no need to talk,' you were too lazy to even write a witness statement, blowing yourself up every day about how powerful you are, you've been a Department of Justice employee for so many years and can't get promoted, what's powerful? You know she's innocent, what's the use of being dejected now? She has to sit in prison for 7 years if you jump off a building!"

After speaking, the assistant lawyer left with disgust.

Chung family villa.

"Miss, news came from the court that Tsang Kit-yee has been sentenced."

"Good!"

"Also, Lawyer Tung called and said the trust fund documents are ready."

"Okay."

Chung Nim-wah sadly stroked an urn, which contained the ashes of her pet dog.

"I hope the trust fund I set up can help other puppies!"

10 minutes later,

Director Guan Zu received Ah Wah's report and learned the trial result.

Tsang Kit-yee lost.

Chung Nim-wah, who was hiding behind the scenes, won.

"Heh~~~"

Director Guan Zu sneered!

Without me, Director Guan Zu, you succeeded.

Now that I, Director Guan Zu, am here, you still want to succeed?

I, Director Guan Zu, am kind-hearted, you people...

I want—blood to flow like a river!

————————————

PS: "A Guilty Conscience" plot (the following word count is free) (some book friends don't know this plot, um, a very good movie.)

Lam Leung-shui, a judge who was frustrated in the workplace, then resigned and joined a law firm, becoming a big lawyer.

One day, a seemingly ordinary child abuse case was placed in front of him, and he became the defense lawyer. The defendant, Tsang Kit-yee, was a single mother. On the night of the incident, Tsang Kit-yee drank a little wine and fell asleep in the yard. After waking up and returning to the house, she found her daughter lying in a pool of blood, seriously injured and in a coma, and was rushed to the hospital, with bruises on both wrists. The police intervened quickly, arrested Tsang Kit-yee, and determined that she had hurt her own daughter based on the bruises on her wrists and the fact that the mother and daughter lived alone.

Then Lam Leung-shui and the assistant lawyer asked the patrol security guard, and the patrol security guard said he didn't see any movement in the house. The security guard signed the statement.

The case entered the trial stage. Tsang Kit-yee's defense lawyer Lam Leung-shui didn't take this case too seriously at first, and walked into the courtroom with a bit of carelessness.

As a result, during the trial, the security guard recanted on the spot, saying he saw Tsang Kit-yee and her daughter fighting from a distance.

The case suddenly became unfavorable to Tsang Kit-yee.

Subsequently, Lam Leung-shui came to the hospital and happened to meet the little girl who had rarely woken up, and learned from her sign language that "Mom never hit me." Then Lam Leung-shui went to find Tsang Kit-yee's lover Chung King-yee (doctor), and learned from the lover Chung King-yee that the villa door was open on the night of the incident. So Lam Leung-shui relied on this point, which was enough to judge Tsang Kit-yee not guilty, because the door was open, which meant that a third person had entered the villa, so it could not be proven that Tsang Kit-yee harmed her own daughter. He repeatedly told Chung King-yee that as long as Chung King-yee said it truthfully on the day of the trial, he could guarantee that Tsang Kit-yee would not have to go to jail.

However, Lam Leung-shui didn't notice Chung King-yee's expression. Chung King-yee was just a puppet, and the murderer was his wife Chung Nim-wah. Chung King-yee was just a wealthy family son-in-law with no status. Chung King-yee soon told Chung Nim-wah about this, and Chung Nim-wah's lawyer, Lawyer Tung, asked Chung Nim-wah to recant on the day of the trial.

So,

On the day of the second trial, Chung King-yee recanted on the spot, saying "the door was locked," which "proved" that only Tsang Kit-yee and her daughter were in the villa at that time.

Finally, the judge ruled: Tsang Kit-yee intentionally killed, and it was a disabled daughter, so the crime was aggravated, and she was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Lam Leung-shui was scolded by the assistant lawyer.
