Chapter 553: 538 The Return of Taikoo? The Truck-Driver Iaido, It

The next day,

Sunlight shone once again upon Hong Kong Island.

William arrived at Taikoo Building and returned to his office.

"Boss, about yesterday's incident..."

The male secretary and female secretary walked in together, their faces swollen and red.

Seeing the abrasions on William's face and his pair of panda eyes, they realized that he must have suffered the same torture as they had yesterday.

Regardless of whether it was the male secretary or the female secretary, after being beaten with six sticks in one second, they had been thrown into the bushes, slept for a night, and fed the mosquitoes for a night; now, one could say their faces were covered in red welts.

"What else could it be? I got taught a lesson!"

William looked at the two secretaries with annoyance.

"After coming to Hong Kong, why didn't you remind me that this Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was so brutal? My life was almost gone last night."

Male secretary, female secretary: "Ah?"

William: "Also, let me tell you a piece of news: Jack is dead. Killed right in front of me!"

"What?"

The expressions of the male and female secretaries changed drastically.

"Is it that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu? How is he so bold?"

"Does he have no law in his eyes?"

William glared at these two idiots: "What law? Do you have evidence? Do we have evidence? What can we do to him? Not to mention that the police force has a close relationship with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, there's also that Viceroy..."

"Fuck! I understand now; that Viceroy is also in cahoots with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu!"

"Damn it!"

"So, do you understand now? Even if we were all sunk into the sea by him, we would still have no way to deal with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu!"

"We are dead!"

The two secretaries' faces turned pale; they came here to earn a salary, not to risk their lives.

"Boss,"

"What should we do?"

William rubbed his head: "What else can we do? If you don't want to die, don't cause trouble for me."

The two secretaries nodded repeatedly.

William: "Also... go and organize our share data in Dragonair immediately. And the documents from the original acquisition..."

"Additionally, compile a list of engineers in the aviation department, screen out some Chinese, and give me a list..."

Male secretary: "Boss, are you planning to..."

William glared at him: "Last night, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu pointed a gun at my head and said if I didn't cooperate, he would send me to hell immediately... If I go to hell, you two secretaries will follow. So, do you understand?"

Male secretary, female secretary trembling: "Understood!"

William cursed: "Then hurry up and get to work! Do you want me to buy you coffee?!"

"Yes! We'll do it right away!"

The male and female secretaries hurried to work, their hearts filled with anxiety.

Damn it~

We are just ordinary white-collar workers, and now our lives are at stake?

"Wait, go make me a cup of coffee!"

"Okay, boss!"

William made another phone call to his wife and daughter; it was 9:00 AM in Hong Kong, and 1:00 AM in the UK.

The purpose was, of course, to have his wife and daughter go directly to the United States and not stay in the UK.

After receiving the call, his wife took their daughter to pack their luggage overnight and left the UK by plane.

During lunch,

Peng Lizhi came to the canteen to eat, carrying his tray, scanned the room, and saw William.

Huh? Dark circles?

Looking at the secretary, huh? What's with this disheveled look?

Looking at the bodyguard... huh, one is missing.

"Could it be?"

Peng Lizhi carried his tray over and sat opposite William's table.

"Mr. Taipan!"

"How come I don't see Jack?"

William glanced at Peng Lizhi; this guy, as the number one person under the Taikoo Taipan, had been living well until now.

Damn!

This bastard must have had a dirty deal with Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, right?

William: "He's dead."

David, next to him, felt a bit awkward.

Peng Lizhi: "..."

Good heavens, he really was finished off by Brother Zu.

Peng Lizhi wanted to laugh; sure enough, no matter how awesome you were when you arrived, once you reached Hong Kong Island, you had to obediently act like a dog.

William looked at Peng Lizhi's suppressed laughter and couldn't help but realize Peng Lizhi's true colors.

Damn, you're actually a traitor!

What happened to being a loyal subject of Taikoo?

Wait... since Peng Lizhi is a traitor, is the CFO one too? And other senior executives?

Given the 10 million USD Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu promised yesterday, he didn't believe these senior executives could resist.

So, is the Taikoo Group possibly full of traitors?

Thinking about this, he felt a bit horrified.

It's over, this Hong Kong Island is too weird!

Drink some coffee to calm the nerves.

In the afternoon,

17:00, 9:00 AM in the UK, exactly the time for Taikoo Group to start work.

William in the office drank his coffee, rubbed his face, and did some warm-up exercises...

Calming his emotions,

"Hoo~~~~"

After a long exhale, he picked up the phone and dialed an international long-distance call to the Deputy Chairman's secretary at Taikoo headquarters.

"I have a very important matter to report to the Deputy Chairman."

Deputy Chairman Aguero was Adrian's eldest son.

The Swire family had always followed the tradition of "primogeniture," and in recent years, management power had gradually transitioned to the sixth-generation members.

Not long after,

It connected.

"Mr. Aguero!"

"Is something the matter?"

"It's like this, last night..."

William recounted the incident.

"That Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu has already stated clearly that the mercenary incident cannot just be let go... He proposed three conditions for compensation..."

"Is he really that arrogant?" Aguero found it hard to believe.

"Yes, what should we do next?"

"We cannot agree. If we agree like this, wouldn't our Taikoo Group..."

"But Mr. Aguero, he said if I can't do it, he will kill me... Also, if members of the Swire family dare to go to Hong Kong, they will definitely..."

"Definitely what?"

"He said: Kill one for every one that comes."

"..."

William could clearly hear Aguero's heavy breathing on the other end of the phone.

Bang~~~

"Arrogant!!"

"A mere small tycoon in Hong Kong, he dares to say such things!"

"Killing my son isn't enough, he wants to kill more?"

"Has he forgotten that Hong Kong Island is still under our British rule?"

William: "But the other party now has the endorsement of the East!"

Aguero: "............"

He was silenced immediately.

If he weren't afraid of the East, would his Taikoo Group need to let William go to Hong Kong to scout the path? He would have sent mercenaries to press the border directly... Unfortunately, they didn't dare. If Taikoo really dared to do that, it would be the perfect excuse for the East.

"I will hold a meeting to discuss this here..."

Soon,

Taikoo headquarters held a meeting, and during the meeting, the senior executives exploded.

"Killing our people!"

"And wanting to seize assets!"

"Too bullying!"

"Absolutely no trading allowed!"

"Send someone, send someone over immediately to stop this transaction!"

One by one, they slammed the tables in righteous indignation.

"Then who should be sent? Does anyone here want to go? I'll promote you a level when you return!"

Senior executives: "............"

Silenced immediately.

One by one, they lowered their heads to look at their feet or raised their heads to look at the ceiling, as if they were observing some cosmic mystery.

At this moment, Aguero's secretary walked into the conference room and reported a piece of news to Aguero.

William's wife and daughter were not in the UK.

Predicted in advance.

On the Hong Kong Island side,

William received a call from Aguero at 20:00.

Aguero: "William, within three days, a new Taipan will go to Hong Kong to take over your position."

William rolled his eyes: "Thank you very much for Mr. Aguero's understanding."

After hanging up, William called Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

At this time,

Political Department, over here.

"Mr. Riley, the list is ready."

"The first batch of 50 people!"

"The data is also all prepared..."

Since the mercenary attack on Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, MI5 had given orders to the Political Department to strengthen the infiltration of the Five Star Group.

Increasing by 200 people in one go.

The Political Department had been preparing for half a month and finally sorted out a framework.

First, bring out a new batch of 50 agents.

"Good..."

Riley looked at the list; some he recognized as those who performed well, others he didn't recognize, unknown and nameless.

Riley thought of a Chinese saying—"All good things must come to an end."

Anyway, the Political Department was going to be disbanded, and going to the Five Star Group was also a good place.

Roughly looking at the list,

Riley signed his name on the last page.

Closed it.

"I won't look too much; anyway, you have never made a mistake in your work."

"Send these 50 people out as soon as possible..."

"This Five Star Group is developing faster and faster; don't let it become a joke if our people can't squeeze into the senior management."

The secretary nodded: "Yes sir!"

In the following days,

The 50 agents from the Political Department successively joined the Five Star Group through various companies and branches.

Three days later.

A plane from the UK slowly landed, the roar of the engines gradually fading.

Inside the airport,

William, dressed in a neat suit, waited beside the tarmac.

The cabin door slowly opened, and a lady in her 50s stepped down the gangway in high heels.

Behind her followed 2 bodyguards, no secretary.

William was surprised, just 2 bodyguards? Why not bring more?

And she didn't bring a secretary.

Her name was 'Isabella Windsor', tall, wearing a slim-fit mid-length trench coat, quite capable and elegant.

And her face was full of confidence.

Heh~~~

Someone really came to die.

William evaluated in his heart.

Then he stepped forward: "Ms. Isabella, welcome to Hong Kong Island!"

'Isabella' revealed a formulaic smile and reached out to shake William's hand lightly.

"Mr. William, hello, I am not Isabella, I am Isabella's secretary, please call me Su Fei."

"????"

William was stunned for a moment: "You are not Isabella?"

Su Fei: "Boss has already arrived in Hong Kong Island."

William was amused.

Interesting.

To think she would use a feint.

So, there aren't actually just 2 bodyguards, but 4?

"Since that's the case, let's go back first; presumably Ms. Isabella has already arrived at Taikoo Group."

William took Su Fei and walked out of the airport.

Vehicles were already prepared outside the airport.

William got into a luxury Mercedes-Benz.

And Su Fei got into another luxury Mercedes-Benz.

After William got in, the driver started the car and drove steadily away from the airport. Su Fei's car followed behind.

William called Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and told him everything.

On the other end of the phone, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu laughed: "Interesting."

William: "Then what should we do?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Just follow the original plan, give her a warning!"

In the car behind, Su Fei followed along the way.

The Mercedes drove forward, entered the Kwun Tong Bypass from Kai Tak Airport, then entered the Eastern Harbour Crossing...

Finally, it entered the Island Eastern Corridor in North Point.

However, just as the Mercedes reached halfway, the driver suddenly showed a difficult expression, his tone anxious: "Boss, I... my stomach suddenly hurts terribly, I really can't hold it anymore, I must find a place to go to the bathroom immediately."

Su Fei frowned, feeling a bit disgusted, but could only nod in agreement.

The driver quickly got out of the car and ran wildly towards a public toilet by the side of the road.

"I'll drive," said the bodyguard.

"If you don't know the way... wait a moment, no rush..."

Just at this moment,

Boom boom boom~~~

A dump truck rushed out from the street corner like a madman, the engine roaring.

It drove straight towards Su Fei's car.

"Boom~~~"

Accompanied by a deafening bang, the dump truck hit the Mercedes with thunderous force. The huge impact instantly sent the Mercedes flying, rolling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground. The car body was twisted and deformed, a miserable sight.

Passersby saw this and screamed in shock; some scrambled to take out their phones to call the police.

And Su Fei had already lost her breath in this unexpected collision, blood constantly gushing from her body, staining the seats inside the car bright red.

The confident face had now turned into one of dying with eyes wide open!

As for the two bodyguards.

They were also bleeding constantly and had fallen unconscious.

William stopped the car in the distance, looked over here, and sneered.

People who don't know their place can only end up like this.

Wee-woo wee-woo~~~~

Soon, police cars arrived, and ambulances arrived.

Soon,

William returned to Taikoo Building and walked straight to his office.

His secretary was waiting outside.

"Boss, Ms. Isabella is waiting for you inside."

"Hmm."

William pushed open the door,

Only to see Isabella standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her figure tall and straight, a head of golden wavy hair draped casually over her shoulders.

She was wearing an exquisitely tailored white slim-fit suit with a scarlet silk shirt underneath, showing both the softness of a woman and the capability and strength of a professional woman.

At this moment, she was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the many high-rise buildings on Hong Kong Island.

That back view and the scene made her aura full.

"Haha~~ Ms. Isabella~~~"

Isabella turned around, looked at William, her gaze carrying scrutiny: "Mr. William... presumably you should know what I am here for this time."

William curled his lips: "I know, to take over for me."

Inner thought: To die!

Isabella was serious: "In the next few days, I hope Mr. William can seriously cooperate with my work and do a good job of the handover."

William smiled: "Don't worry, I definitely will!"

Isabella: "Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation."

In her view, William was a defeated clown, and she was the queen welcoming victory.

"By the way, where are my secretary and bodyguards? Is everything going smoothly?"

Isabella looked behind William, a bit surprised why the secretary and bodyguards didn't come in to see her.

William revealed a trace of imperceptible mockery at the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "Ms. Isabella, I regret to inform you that your secretary and bodyguards are already dead. On the way here, they encountered a serious car accident; a dump truck hit their car, and they died on the spot."

The smile on Isabella's face froze instantly. ===== CHAPTER 554 =====
