Chapter 551: 536 Guan Zu: If you won't come when invited, I have no choice but to kidnap you!

Five Star Group Building.

In Guan Zu's office,

"Boss..."

Chief Secretary Wu Lianqian knocked and walked into the office. She wore a form-fitting black suit skirt, her slender waist was barely a handful, and the skirt hugged her perky rear...

"There is a wedding invitation... they want to invite Boss Zu to attend the wedding banquet."

"Oh? Who is getting married?"

Guan Zu was surprised.

He took it and looked; the names written on the invitation were: Mike and Tian Yuan.

"Haha, good~~~ The two of them actually ended up together."

Guan Zu laughed happily.

He checked the wedding time; it was this coming Friday at 11:58 AM.

Guan Zu said to Wu Lianqian, "Help me note this down. If there's nothing special, I'll go. Also, prepare a red envelope of 10,000."

Wu Lianqian nodded, "Okay!"

She was about to turn and leave when Guan Zu called her back: "Call Brother Da Tou over."

Thirty minutes later,

Brother Da Tou arrived at Guan Zu's office.

"Boss Zu, what is it?"

"That William has been comfortable for a few days now; it's time to teach him a lesson... Does he really think that after hiring mercenaries to kill me, I'd just let them off so easily? If I and the East don't show some toughness this time, whether it's the Viceroy, the Intelligence Division, or the Swire Group headquarters back in Britain, they'll all think I'm easy to bully." Guan Zu sneered.

"Understood!"

Brother Da Tou nodded, "Then this time, what package should we choose? The 'Concrete Mixer Paralysis' package? The 'Cement Filling' package? Or should we just go over and *biu biu biu*~~~~"

Guan Zu glanced at Brother Da Tou.

"Do you have such a deep misunderstanding of me? Am I that kind of person?"

"We must convince people with virtue!"

"Don't always think about fighting and killing!"

"We aren't gangsters!"

Brother Da Tou: "???"

Boss Zu, do you need to look at what you've done in the past?

Guan Zu instructed, "We must invite him over first, be polite and courteous, understand? We are a nation of etiquette; we must be courteous before resorting to force!"

Brother Da Tou said listlessly, "Yes!"

Boss Zu, whatever you say goes.

At this time,

Kwun Tong.

Mike's house had already been repainted and renovated, becoming a bit more festive.

Mike and Tian Yuan, the engaged couple, were happily preparing for their wedding.

On the side, the elderly Granny Si sat on the sofa, looking at the young couple with a smile full of gratification, muttering, "It's so good."

Their junior, Ah Ren, although unreliable, was busy running around helping.

As they chatted, the topic turned to Guan Zu.

Ah Ren: "Mr. Guan is such a big shot. He's usually so busy; I guess the chances of him attending the wedding are slim."

Mike: "If it weren't for Mr. Guan saying a word, I might not even be able to get leave right now, I'd be picked on by my superiors, and I wouldn't have received the Five Star Group's charitable assistance funds. Even if Mr. Guan doesn't come, I have to send the invitation to show my sincerity."

Granny Si nodded in agreement, "That's right, the proper etiquette must be followed."

And at this time,

The Peninsula Hotel,

"Is this the Peninsula Hotel?"

"It doesn't look like much..."

William had finally managed to relax after being busy for the past few days.

He had come to the famous Peninsula Hotel.

He had long heard that this was the hotel with the most historical heritage in Hong Kong, a place favored by politicians, businessmen, and celebrities.

oCo

Outside the main entrance,

He got out of the car,

Looking up, it was tall and carried an ancient air.

Walking into the lobby, an aura of luxury and elegance washed over him.

Led by a waiter, he took the elevator to the floor where the famous French restaurant, Gaddis, was located. Stepping out of the elevator, he looked out and could see the restaurant (as pictured)...

He had booked a window seat, and the beautiful night view of Victoria Harbour was in full view.

Soon, he ordered some French dishes: French onion soup, scallops, deviled eggs, bouillabaisse, chicken, steak tartare, escargot...

Halfway through the meal,

His secretary walked in and told him a piece of news.

"Boss Shao is having breakfast over at the Chinese restaurant..."

"Boss Shao is here? Let's go?"

He stood up and headed toward the Chinese restaurant, Spring Moon.

Recently, he had been thinking about how to promote Swire in the media, and television stations were a very important part of that. Since ATV belonged to the Five Star Group, he only had one choice—TVB.

He walked quickly to Spring Moon on the first floor.

Guided by his secretary, he met the tycoon Boss Shao.

At this moment, Boss Shao was behind a sandalwood screen, eating boat congee from a celadon bowl, with an old-fashioned radio on the rosewood table corner playing the Cantonese opera "The Flower Princess" in a raspy voice.

"Mr. Shao, a pleasure to meet you. My name is William Henderson, the new Managing Director of Swire Group..." William took the initiative to greet him politely.

He was secretly surprised; he hadn't expected the owner of TVB to be so elderly.

"Hello, Mr. William," Boss Shao responded politely. "Would you like to join me for some morning tea..."

"Then thank you, Boss Shao~~~"

William took the opportunity to sit down, and the two began to eat Chinese breakfast together.

They chatted while eating.

William ate a few dim sum items but wasn't used to them, as these snacks had a strong salty taste and some unique seasonings, whereas he preferred sweet things.

Then William proposed a collaboration with TVB.

Boss Shao, however, shook his head and smiled: "As you can see, I am quite old, and I no longer concern myself with the affairs of the television station. Come, come, let us just enjoy the food and not talk about work!"

William had been rejected; he chatted for a few more sentences and could only leave dejectedly.

Returning to the French restaurant, William frowned and asked his secretary: "Why wouldn't this Mr. Shao talk about collaboration? We are natural enemies; there is a basis for cooperation."

The secretary said: "I heard that this Mr. Shao donated a lot of money to the East and built many school buildings. It is quite clear that he leans toward the East."

William sighed.

He returned to his seat in the French restaurant and continued eating, but his mind was no longer on the food.

Since yesterday, he had felt that Hong Kong... was unfavorable to the Swire Group!

The influence of the Five Star Group was everywhere.

This Five Star Group was much stronger than he had originally anticipated.

Just then,

Three men walked in brazenly.

They came to the side of the dining table.

The leader, wearing sunglasses, carried a wicked, evil aura!

It was Laughing.

*Clatter—*

A chair was dragged out, making a harsh sound.

Laughing sat down with a thud.

"Mr. William, right? Nice to meet you."

"Who are you?" William and his secretary's faces showed obvious dissatisfaction.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Laughing, a subordinate of Mr. Guan from the Five Star Group."

Five Star Group?

William was immediately displeased: "Get out! Can't you see I'm eating?"

Laughing chuckled: "Don't be in such a hurry... This time I've come because I want to invite Mr. William to Causeway Bay. My boss, Mr. Guan, would like to invite Mr. William for a meal!"

William sneered: "I'm not going! If he wants to meet, he should be the one coming to see me."

William had always felt that because Edward was already dead, the previous matters were considered settled, and Guan Zu couldn't possibly resort to violence or killing again.

Therefore, William wasn't afraid of Guan Zu at all.

This was also why he had dared to run around everywhere during this period.

And the fact that he had been safe and sound during this time served as proof.

And since Guan Zu had invited him over, it was definitely to discuss the Dragonair matter. Since that was the case, why should he be the one to pay a visit instead of Guan Zu coming to see him?

As a military man, how could he show weakness in his aura during their first meeting?

"*Tsk*~~~"

Laughing let out a light chuckle.

This guy still couldn't recognize the situation.

"Let's go..."

He stood up and left with his two subordinates.

William watched their retreating backs, feeling a surge of irritation in his heart.

He felt that he had been enjoying a good meal here, only to be disturbed for no reason, and Laughing's look of contempt...

"I'm not eating anymore!"

He threw down his fork, *clatter*~~~

He stood up and left the French restaurant, his good mood completely ruined.

His secretary hurriedly stood up, settled the bill with the waiter, and chased after him quickly.

William drove back, his face gloomy, his heart troubled.

They soon arrived at Swire Building.

"Managing Director William!"

"Boss!"

Employees bowed respectfully as they saw him.

At this moment, William saw Peng Lizhi from afar, humming a tune happily as he walked into his office.

William returned to his office and had his secretary call Peng Lizhi over.

"Boss, you wanted to see me?"

William: "You seem to be in a good mood. Is something up?"

Peng Lizhi chuckled: "I don't mind telling you, Boss, I got a divorce."

William was surprised: "A divorce? Is that something to be happy about?"

Peng Lizhi sighed helplessly: "It's mainly because my wife and children are simply too outrageous. My wife runs out to play mahjong every day, and my children go out to fool around; they rarely come home."

"I work hard every day, and when I come home to a cold, empty house, I feel a chill in my heart. I work hard to earn money, but they just spend it all outside."

William shook his head: "I can't understand that feeling. After all, my wife is good, my daughter is obedient, and her grades are good; she's going to take her university entrance exams next year..."

He came from a more traditional background and valued family values, so he had a harmonious and happy family, which was his pride.

Peng Lizhi was surprised: "If that's the case, that's indeed good."

Hearing Peng Lizhi talk about his unhappy family life, William's mood suddenly improved.

Comparison.

I win!

William: "By the way, Guan Zu sent someone to invite me to Causeway Bay today... What do you think he wants?"

Peng Lizhi was surprised: "Did you agree?"

William sneered: "He invites me and I go? He should be the one coming to see me."

Peng Lizhi: "..."

What, you dare to refuse Boss Zu's invitation?

*Hee hee*... You're done for!

Peng Lizhi hurriedly said: "Boss is wise! Our Swire Group is all over the world, and our strength is ten times that of the Five Star Group. This time, Guan Zu is definitely coming for Dragonair, and we cannot show weakness in our aura."

William nodded.

The two chatted for a bit before Peng Lizhi left.

William looked at a family photo on his desk, featuring his wife and daughter. Next month, he would have his wife and daughter come to Hong Kong to enjoy the benefits of the Swire Managing Director's villa and subsidies.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but miss his wife and daughter.

He hurriedly made a call.

"My dear baby..."

"Yes, Hong Kong is quite good..."

"When are you coming over?"

After finishing his call with his wife and daughter, William's depressed mood was swept away.

Five Star Group Building.

"Boss Zu, that William doesn't know his place. What should we do next?"

"Do I have to teach you everything? We are gangsters! Grab him and send him out to sea."

"Boss Zu, didn't you say we aren't gangsters?"

"Be flexible, don't you understand flexibility!"

"..."

6!

Soon, it was time to get off work.

William took his secretary and bodyguards to continue enjoying the food and scenery of Hong Kong.

This time, he went to Deep Water Bay in the Southern District, where there was a very famous restaurant called—

Jumbo Kingdom!

Jumbo Kingdom had three ships and could accommodate over 2,300 people for dining at the same time; it was the largest floating restaurant in the world.

At the same time, Jumbo Kingdom was also a famous film location, including classic Hong Kong films like "The God of Cookery," "Infernal Affairs II," "Enter the Dragon," and the "007" series film "The Man with the Golden Gun," all of which were filmed on the ship. The famous electronic game "Fatal Fury 2" and the scenes from "Resident Evil 6" were also taken from this treasure land.

However, in 2022, it encountered a storm and sank.

"Wow~~~"

William and his secretary and bodyguards looked at this restaurant, and everyone let out exclamations.

Two hours later,

The night was already deep.

William and his group left Jumbo Kingdom, satisfied and full.

Although they weren't used to the food, some of the "Western-style" dishes inside made William and the others feel quite satisfied as they returned.

They got into a black Mercedes and returned to the Shangri-La Hotel.

Just as they entered a remote section of Repulse Bay,

Suddenly, a pickup truck rushed out from the darkness and slammed into the black Mercedes.

The massive impact caused the Mercedes to instantly lose control, spinning and sliding in the tunnel.

Before William and the others could react, a van pulled up and a group of people jumped out, each wearing a mask, and rushed to the front of the Mercedes.

They dragged them out one by one.

The two bodyguards and the male secretary tried to resist, but those thugs held clubs and gave them a lesson.

*Bang bang*~~~

The two bodyguards and the male secretary were knocked out.

William was dizzy and hadn't had time to make any more moves before he was forcibly dragged from the car by this group of people and thrown into the van.

Then they quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The black Mercedes was also severely damaged and couldn't continue driving; soon, a tow truck arrived and towed it away directly.
