Chapter 554: 539 The Advancing Taipan Isabella, and then the Land Reclamation Project 1!

Isabella's expression melted rapidly from arrogant scrutiny like ice and snow, replaced by a face of shock.

When she came, she had been warned that the environment in Hong Kong Island was bad and she should be careful.

But!

In her way of thinking, no matter what, it should be impossible for the other party to be so direct and rough, right?

After a long while, she finally found her voice and asked stutteringly:

"You... what did you say? How is this possible?"

William looked at her as if looking at a poor worm:

"When you came, didn't the senior management above tell you?"

"I have already told Mr. Aguero very straightforwardly!"

"The Five Star Group is very angry about the last mercenary attack. If people from the Swire family of the Taikoo Group dare to come to Hong Kong, kill one for every one that comes."

"And other people sent to stop them, if they dare to come, kill one for every one that comes."

"So, I am very curious where your confidence comes from."

"Why did you think that by relying on a small scheme, you could be triumphant and feel that you are very smart?"

"It doesn't affect the overall situation, do you understand?"

Isabella's face was full of panic and shock: "But... Mr. Aguero didn't tell me this."

William: "So, that's why you dared to come, right."

Isabella: "I..."

William sneered: "I tell you, you are dead. You are just a tool pushed out by the senior management to test the Five Star Group. If you die, it proves that the Five Star Group is truly ruthless. If you don't die, then they don't need to fear the Five Star Group."

"So, do you think you will die, or will you not die?"

Isabella: "I..."

She didn't know what to say.

William: "I can also guess one thing: you must have offended someone, so you were recommended to come to Hong Kong."

Isabella's face turned pale.

William guessed right.

She did offend a senior executive and was kicked to the African company. This time, being able to come to Hong Kong was a jump in promotion for her.

William: "I also guessed that you must have a very good relationship with your family."

Isabella's lips trembled.

William guessed right again.

Indeed, she had a daughter she loved very much, and parents...

William spread his hands: "So, if you don't die, who dies?"

Isabella looked at William, using an equal, pleading gaze for the first time: "Then what should I do?"

William spread his hands: "Either surrender to the Five Star Group and betray the interests of the Taikoo Group, but you might be retaliated against by the Taikoo Group, or die, or be sued and jailed by them. Or stick with the Taikoo Group and resolutely not betray them, but you might die."

Isabella: "So... Mr. William, what is your choice?"

William: "Four days ago at night, I had a gun pointed at my head, and then a bodyguard died right in front of me... what do you say my choice is?"

Isabella fell silent.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder."

William: "Then this office, you can use it for the time being... and don't think about staying in a hotel or anything; if you stay in a hotel, you will die faster."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, we were colleagues after all."

William waved his hand, preparing to leave.

After walking a few steps, he thought of something and turned back to remind her.

"By the way, if you firmly support the Taikoo Group, then write your will and talk to your family on the phone more."

"It's just these few days."

After speaking, William left the office and closed the door.

Click~~~

Isabella's legs went soft, and she sat on the ground.

Looking out the window at the vibrant beauty of Hong Kong Island, at this moment, it also appeared so black, white, and cold.

How to choose?

For the sake of her family, she could only choose to sacrifice herself.

She made a phone call to her family, wishing she could have more time to chat with her daughter and parents.

After hanging up the phone reluctantly.

She began to think of ways to add some trouble to the Five Star Group.

Since she decided to die, she would launch a death charge and scrape a layer of skin off the Five Star Group.

Thinking of this,

Her brain began to work rapidly.

"First, the handover can be slowed down, no need to be so urgent. However, the handover must be done to paralyze the enemy..."

"Additionally, since I am going to die, I will use my death, my public influence... that is to say, the premise is that my identity must be known to all Hong Kong citizens, that I am the new Taipan of the Taikoo Group..."

She kept writing and drawing on the table...

A rough action plan gradually took shape.

However, she knew too little about the Five Star Group, so she needed to find someone to understand it.

Thus,

In the afternoon, she found a few middle-level managers to talk in the office to understand the Five Star Group.

At the same time, she had people prepare for tomorrow's press conference to announce her identity.

By evening,

She had basically formed a plan outline.

Framing!

She targeted a livelihood project of the Five Star Group—the low-cost housing project!

Tomorrow, during her press conference, she would use this project to question the Five Star Group's financial fraud, cutting corners, etc., claiming that she had obtained key evidence... As for the reason, she had already thought it out: Taikoo had always been targeted by the Five Star Group, so it was reasonable for her to target the Five Star Group, right.

Then she would die,

And then let the recording before her death be used to push the media: her death was because the Five Star Group wanted to silence her.

"Very good!"

"This plan will definitely cause trouble for the Five Star Group!"

"However, I can't even trust my bodyguards and secretary now, because they might also defect... Perhaps, I need to find others."

Her first reaction was HSBC.

HSBC started as a bank, and most of its assets were in the banking and finance sector.

And the Taikoo Group happened to have no banking business.

So the two sides had always cooperated well.

Cathay Pacific was one of the representatives of their excellent cooperation.

Thus, she made a phone call and arranged to meet someone from HSBC.

On the other side,

Isabella's bodyguards and secretary were chatting with William's bodyguards and secretary.

Naturally, they talked about Sophie today and the car accident of the two bodyguards.

Speaking of this, Isabella's bodyguards and secretary felt a lingering fear, not expecting Hong Kong Island to be so dangerous.

"Don't have any illusions, Isabella is dead for sure."

"Then what should we do?"

"That's for you to think about yourself."

"Is it too late for me to soften my stance now? I don't want to die..."

"Please tell Mr. William that I am willing to follow him!"

"Right, I want to report that today boss has been locking herself in the office, constantly making phone calls, feeling like she should be planning some scheme... and someone from HSBC is coming over later..."

"Like this? If we could know what they are talking about, that would be great, we could sell it for a lot of money."

"Want to know?"

"This is easy! Isabella has no one to help her do things now, she can only trust us."

At 20:00 in the evening,

HSBC sent a Chief Operating Officer, named Laura Cha.

An hour later, 21:00.

Isabella just sent the HSBC Chief Operating Officer out of the office door.

The female secretary walked in: "Boss, it's very late, do you want some snacks? Shall I have someone send them over?"

Isabella didn't trust anyone now, so she shook her head: "No need, go to sleep early, tomorrow you will have to work hard."

Secretary: "Okay, I'll be outside, call me if anything happens."

Carrying the remaining coffee, she left directly.

There were bathrooms and lounges inside the office, which used to be the secret garden of Taipan Merlin, but now all the sheets, aromatherapy... etc., had been replaced, and one could rest temporarily...

Soon,

The Taipan office lights went out.

And at this time,

William's bodyguard David, holding a recording, came to Causeway Bay and handed it to Da Tou.

After Da Tou listened to it, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly sent it to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu came out of his house, and after listening to the recording, he was also shocked.

"Good guy!"

"Sure enough, smart people have good brains."

"To think she even thought of such a framing method."

If she really said this at the press conference tomorrow, it would truly be a case of "a mouth to spread rumors, and legs to run to refute them."

Although Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's solidified support rate was not afraid of this at all.

But it was disgusting.

Da Tou: "Brother Zu, what should we do now?"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu stretched: "Since she wants to die so much, send her on her way."

Da Tou: "Yes!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "By the way, don't her bodyguards want to live? Let them hand over a certificate of allegiance."

Da Tou: "Brother Zu, do you want to do it yourself!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "Don't be silly, I don't kill women."

Brother Chen·jpg

Late at night,

The bedroom inside the Taipan office of Taikoo Building was pitch black.

Isabella lay on the bed, tossing and turning for more than an hour, and then talked to her family on the phone.

Finally, she fell asleep in a daze.

Suddenly,

Rapid footsteps broke the silence:

"Not good, boss, assassins are here! They are already downstairs and are rushing up!"

Isabella woke up suddenly from her sleep.

She sat up from the bed instantly.

The emergency call of the bodyguard came from outside the door.

She frowned, not expecting the Five Star Group's speed to be so fast.

Isabella quickly climbed out of bed.

Opened the door.

The bodyguard listened to the headset and then said to Isabella: "Boss, the assassins just took the elevator to the 19th floor, we stopped the elevator, but the other party is taking the stairs up."

"Run!"

Isabella was resolute, not wearing high heels, but putting on sneakers, walked out of the office door, and the two bodyguards followed closely behind her.

"We'll go down from the elevator here, it goes directly to the garage, try not to make any sound, don't let the assassins discover us."

"Boss, our best way now is to go to HSBC, HSBC as a bank has its own strict security system, that is the safest place."

A bodyguard said in a low voice.

Isabella nodded hurriedly, and the three ran towards the elevator.

The elevator door opened silently, and the three entered quickly.

During the elevator's descent, Isabella's heart was in her throat, her eyes fixed on the jumping floor numbers.

The bodyguard listened to the headset: "Boss, the assassins went to the office."

Isabella's expression was serious.

Finally, the elevator arrived at the garage, and the door opened slowly.

Isabella breathed a sigh of relief.

Isabella walked out of the elevator quickly, the two bodyguards quickly drove the car, and Isabella got in quickly.

The car started quickly, drove out of Taikoo Building, and headed towards HSBC headquarters.

Isabella watched the vehicle driving forward, breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the soft seat, and just wanted to speak...

But suddenly realized something was wrong.

She looked at the two bodyguards vigilantly: "Wait, you know the address of HSBC?"

The bodyguard nodded: "Naturally I know, it's not very far."

Isabella looked suspicious,

However, her expression became tighter and tighter, because the car kept driving... kept driving... kept driving...

Finally, it left the bustling downtown (Central and Western District) and entered a remote mountain road (Pok Fu Lam Road)...

Isabella became vigilant: "Where is this? Didn't you say it was very close?"

Bodyguard: "Boss, don't worry, we are your bodyguards, would we lie to you?"

Isabella: "Where are you taking me?"

The bodyguards looked at each other.

One of the bodyguards sighed slightly and said:

"Boss, it seems you have already figured it out."

"Sorry, boss, we don't want to die. Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu gave us a chance to live, as long as we..."

"As long as you hand me over!" Isabella interrupted him angrily, her eyes wide open, "You actually betrayed me!"

Her heart was full of anger.

"Betray?"

"Sorry, boss, it's you who didn't want to give us a way to live."

"Right, you want to die yourself, why do you have to drag us along?"

Isabella naturally wouldn't admit it, trying to find a turning point: "I don't understand what you mean."

"Boss, do you still want to hide it now?"

"Your plan, we all know..."

Isabella was completely desperate, angry: "You think you can save your lives like this? Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu won't let you go! He is just using you, and when you are useless, you will die just the same!"

Bodyguard: "Don't worry, Mr. William has already guaranteed for us, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's reputation has always been very good."

Isabella: "I..."

Almost vomited blood.

Her eyes turned cold, and she suddenly reached out to pull the car door handle, trying to jump out of the car.

As a result, click click click~~~ no matter how she pulled, the car door wouldn't open.

"It's locked, idiot!"

"Bang~~~"

The bodyguard's elbow hit Isabella's temple heavily, she only felt darkness before her eyes, and she fainted.

I don't know how long it had been, Isabella was splashed with cold water and woke up slowly, finding herself on a swaying boat.

The sea breeze blew~~~

She looked around in horror, only to see a few strangers on the side.

And she was tied up.

"Do it..."

Soon, her mouth was pried open.

"What are you doing?"

"If you dare to kill me, Taikoo will definitely not let you go!"

As a result, one of the strangers sneered: "Crazy, if Taikoo had this kind of courage, they wouldn't have sent you here."

"Also, the senior management of the Taikoo Group are all our people, you resist? Are you stupid?"

"Isn't it better to obediently agree to the conditions?"

The funnel was inserted.

She was extremely terrified.

She struggled desperately, only to find that she was tightly tied and couldn't move.

"No, don't..."

Cement was poured into the funnel, entering her esophagus along her mouth and throat.

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm~~~"

Isabella felt the cement constantly pouring into the barrel, her heart full of fear.

Following that was hatred, and regret: why did she have to wait for tomorrow's press conference? Instead of holding the press conference last night?

Regret!

She was desperate!

Soon, the cement was full, the strangers stuffed Isabella into the cement barrel and closed the lid.

A push...

Bang~~~

The cement barrel fell into the sea, splashing a spray of water, and finally kept sinking.
