Chapter 814: 806 Daily Life: Song Song Zihao and the Widow; Ding Xie Strikes

In November, a major event occurred in Hong Kong.

On November 2nd, the plenary session of the Preparatory Committee for the new government was held, and the "Selection Committee" was elected. At this time, 31 people publicly registered to run; after qualification reviews, 8 became candidates.

On November 15th, the first plenary session of the Selection Committee was held in Hong Kong to conduct a primary election for the 8 candidates. In the end, three people received nominations from more than 50 members and became the final candidates.

In the following days, a public Q&A session for the candidates was held, where the three candidates each introduced their respective governance philosophies and policy ideas.

……

On November 17th,

Inside the courthouse, the courtroom was packed.

Today was the final hearing for the prosecution of Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng regarding the Tunmen Five Star Primary School poisoning incident.

Parents of the 50 poisoned students, representatives of the Five Star Group, Environmental Protection Department officials, and dozens of media reporters gathered here.

In the defendant's dock, Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng stood, hoping in his heart for a lighter sentence.

Five Star Group legal consultant Lin Lin Liangshui: "As the person in charge of the chemical plant, Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng long violated the 'Air Pollution Control Ordinance,' illegally discharging industrial waste gas containing toxic components such as chloroform and hydrogen sulfide."

"……causing acute poisoning in 52 students……constituting multiple serious crimes of 'endangering public health,' 'environmental pollution,' and 'negligent injury.'"

Then he presented the Environmental Protection Department's inspection report, hospital diagnostic records, testimony from factory employees, and evidence of Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng fleeing overseas after the incident.

"The defendant knew the waste gas was toxic, yet refused to install purification equipment to save costs. After the incident, he showed no remorse and attempted to flee, openly challenging Hong Kong's environmental regulations and social conscience……"

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng's defense lawyer tried to request a lighter sentence on the grounds of "sudden equipment failure."

The judge dismissed it in court: "The victims were all minors, and the defendant's act of fleeing was driven by a mentality of taking chances……"

Finally, after closed-door deliberations by the jury and the judge, the final verdict was reached:

"In accordance with the 'Hong Kong Air Pollution Control Ordinance'……the defendant Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng is guilty of 'endangering public health,' 'environmental pollution,' and 'negligent injury.' With sentences served concurrently, he is sentenced to 25 years in prison……"

"The defendant Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng is ordered to pay full medical compensation to the 52 poisoned students, totaling HK$12 million……"

After the sentencing concluded, thunderous applause erupted in the courtroom.

Reporters raised their cameras one after another to record the moment.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng slumped in the defendant's dock.

It's over.

……

In the evening.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was on the balcony taking a call from Lee Boo-jin in South Korea.

"You women are really something…… Why do you want me to go to South Korea? Wouldn't it be better if you came to Hong Kong?"

"Oppa, I clearly come over every month. Can't you come to South Korea even once? Please, Oppa~~"

"Do you have any idea? I'm currently in a period of career advancement and can't get away."

"…………"

Lee Boo-jin was rendered speechless.

Le Le Huizhen, who was holding their daughter next to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, was also speechless.

What career advancement!

Bah!

Scumbag!

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: Just say whether it's advancing or not!

On the other end of the phone, Lee Boo-jin couldn't help but retort: "Your Five Star Group runs just fine without you…… Also, you haven't been to South Korea in a year. Aren't you afraid that your subordinate Song Song Zihao will sideline you at the Eight Star Group?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "You women don't know a damn thing. We are brothers; even if I gave the company to him, it wouldn't be a problem at all."

Lee Boo-jin: "Then do you know he's been hanging out with a widow whose husband recently passed away?"

"What?!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu exclaimed.

Lee Boo-jin was pleased on the other end, seeing if he was anxious—now he was: "I'm not lying to you, it's true. She's a widow, her husband hasn't been dead long, and she has a child…… Oppa, you need to be careful."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, however, said excitedly: "Tell me quickly, is that widow pretty? How old is she? Do you have photos? Email them to me."

Lee Boo-jin: "????"

*Flips table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻*!

Shouldn't you be wary of Song Song Zihao?

Why are you getting excited!

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Forget it, anyway, don't worry about it…… I miss you, hurry up and come to Hong Kong, mua~~~~"

Lee Boo-jin: "…………"

You just want to sleep with me, but you don't want to come over.

Bah, scumbag!

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to call Brother Hao……" Before she could reply, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu hung up the phone excitedly.

Lee Boo-jin: "…………"

So angry she could vomit blood!

She wasn't even as important as a man!

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu quickly dialed Song Song Zihao's number: "Brother Hao!"

Song Song Zihao: "Brother Zu, what's wrong?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Oh, just checking in on you. How are things? Recently?"

Song Song Zihao: "Not bad, the current progress of the company's business is…… blah blah~~~"

He began to report.

At this moment, he was at the villa of the man he had finished off, sitting at the dining table.

He was eating Western food and drinking red wine with the man's wife.

(The man from the afterlife: Feed me peanuts! Feed me peanuts!)

The two actually didn't have any ideas at first, but the man's wife, as a trophy wife, encountered some difficulties after losing her husband, and then met Song Song Zihao, who reached out to help.

Out of admiration for strength, and also feeling she needed a man to rely on, the wife took the initiative to seduce Song Song Zihao.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's serious voice came through: "I heard you and a newly widowed young woman……"

Hearing this, Song Song Zihao's expression became serious: "You can rest assured, I can distinguish between public and private matters. I'm not some young kid; at most, I'm just giving her a safe harbor."

He had seen big storms and waves; it was impossible for him to truly give his heart to a widow. At most, he was just giving her a little help.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "As long as you know…… don't be a Dorgon."

Song Song Zihao was confused: "Who is Dorgon?"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu had black lines on his forehead: "You uneducated fool, read more history books!"

Then he changed the subject: "By the way, is that young woman pretty? Do you have photos?"

His tone was full of gossipy excitement.

Song Song Zihao: "…………"

……

On Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's end, after hanging up the phone, the maid had already finished cooking and set the table, ready to eat.

Le Le Huizhen, who was beside him, suddenly said: "When the photos are sent over, let me see them too."

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu criticized her with an air of righteousness: "Why are you so gossipy?"

Le Le Huizhen: "…………"

Fine, fine, fine, you're not gossipy!

She rolled her eyes beautifully!

And just at this moment,

19:00,

ATV News officially aired:

"Today, the public Q&A session for the new government's Chief Executive candidates was held grandly at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre……"

"The three candidates gathered together to introduce their respective governance platforms in detail to the members of the Selection Committee and all citizens of Hong Kong."

"*** emphasized the core philosophy of 'people-oriented'…… striving to solve livelihood problems such as housing and employment, planning to increase land supply, promoting the construction of public housing and Home Ownership Scheme flats to alleviate the housing pressure that has long plagued Hong Kong citizens; at the same time, actively developing economic cooperation with the mainland, utilizing the vast mainland market……"

"*** placed the rule of law at the forefront of his governance, believing that as an international financial center, a sound and fair legal system is the cornerstone of Hong Kong's continued prosperity and stability……" (ps: This person was the first Chinese Chief Justice of the Hong Kong Court from 1988-1996)

"*** focused on economic diversification and innovative development, stating that Hong Kong cannot overly rely on traditional finance and trade industries and should vigorously develop emerging industries, such as technology and cultural creative industries, planning to establish special funds to build innovative industrial parks……"

"In December, the Chief Executive will finally be revealed!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu took a rough look.

The news broadcast lasted for more than 4 minutes.

Then came the next news item.

"Today, the 'Tunmen Five Star Primary School mass poisoning case,' which has attracted the attention of all of Hong Kong, reached its final verdict……"

"The defendant Lin De…… was sentenced according to law to 25 years in prison and full compensation of HK$12 million……"

The camera cut to an interview with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu: "Legislative Council Chairman Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu stated in an interview with reporters that he would continue to monitor the recovery of the victimized students, and also stated: Hong Kong's prosperity and development must never come at the cost of citizens' health and the ecological environment……"

Then the camera turned to the Director of the Environmental Protection Department, who said one sentence, and then it flashed by, and that was it.

Director of the Environmental Protection Department: "…………"

Damn it, I'm a supporting character again.

……

……

November 20th.

At 10:00 AM, a prisoner transport vehicle escorted Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng to Stanley Prison.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng was handcuffed in the vehicle, feeling uneasy.

"Don't panic, don't panic..."

"Money can make the devil push the millstone; as long as I'm willing to spend money, I can definitely recruit henchmen to protect me."

He muttered softly to himself.

Beside him was Liu Xue, the very same clumsy thief who had tried to smash a jewelry store's glass cabinet with a hammer last time, only to fail completely.

Hearing Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng's muttering, he couldn't help but feel moved.

"How about I protect him? And then take his money?"

Liu Xue was also quite miserable; his home was in Sichuan, and with seven children, he couldn't afford to raise them at all, so he had a sudden inspiration and came to Hong Kong to commit robbery.

As a result, he hadn't gathered any information and recklessly started the job.

Then came the tragedy.

He said to Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng, "Boss Lin, I was a soldier. I'll be your bodyguard and protect you. How much will you pay?"

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng was tempted, but his stingy nature kicked in, and he said, "1,000 a month!"

Liu Xue was a fresh recruit who didn't understand the market and thought he was very clever, so he doubled the offer: "2,000!"

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng: "Deal!"

"What's your name?"

"Liu Xue."

The prisoner transport vehicle rolled over the concrete road and slowly drove into the prison compound.

Outside the windows, the area behind the wire fence was packed with old prisoners craning their necks in anticipation. They pounded on the railings and stomped their feet, creating a "clanging" and "thumping" sound, like a group of wild beasts waiting to be fed, excitedly staring at the newly arrived "prey."

"They're here, they're here~~"

"Another good show to watch!"

"Newbies are here again!"

"Look at how soft and tender they are; I'm afraid they won't last three days!"

"Where's Ding Xie? Didn't Ding Xie come out today?"

"Don't call him Ding Xie, call him Master Ding!"

"Where is Master Ding..."

Some gazes looked over, only to see the northeast corner.

★ttkΛn★￠〇

Ding Xie was wearing his prison uniform, but his spirit was excellent, and his hair was dark and shiny.

As for the three Ding brothers—Ding Ding Xiaoxie, Ding Ding Lixie, and Ding Ding Ding Wang Xie—they no longer tried to pull back their old man, Ding Xie.

They couldn't pull him anymore.

The three brothers' hair had already turned white as if frosted—in the past few years, they had nearly exhausted their strength trying to stop Ding Xie from "upholding justice" in prison.

Now,

The old man could do whatever he wanted!

The three brothers looked up in despair and silently shed tears~~~~

On the other side, Sang Bang, Di Wen, Tang Xin, Sang Bo, and others were also squeezed into the front row of the crowd, rubbing their hands together, ready to watch the fun.

Soon,

The prisoners got off the transport vehicle.

One by one, the criminals stepped off the vehicle.

Liu Xue followed Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng, queuing up to reach the cleaning room.

Stripping off clothes, quicklime, rinsing with water... they were howling just like pigs being slaughtered.

Then they changed into prison uniforms.

Then Killer Xiong began his lecture: "Once you enter Stanley, you only have to do three things—obey orders! Obey orders! Obey orders!"

The lecture ended,

And they were sent into the interior of the prison.

Numerous prisoners welcomed Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng and the other newbies.

Then Killer Xiong curled his lips; Brother Zu had given the order, and he was duty-bound!

Announce the crimes!

"Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng, suspected of long-term illegal discharge of toxic waste, causing 52 primary school students to be poisoned collectively..."

"What?! You harmed 52 children?!"

Ding Xie's voice rang out like a thunderclap. He rushed through the crowd in two or three steps, grabbed Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng by the collar, and lifted him up entirely.

The eyes of all the old prisoners were as bright as 100-watt light bulbs at this moment.

It's here, it's here!

He's here!

Master Ding's justice is never late!

Clang, clang, clang~~~~

Angel Baby Ding Xie threw a few punches, clanging away, making Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng howl in misery.

"He's hitting people! He's hitting people!"

"Liu Xue, come help me!"

Liu Xue rushed out: "Stop!"

Ding Xie immediately looked at Liu Xue with red eyes: "Are you an accomplice?"

Liu Xue: "I'm his bodyguard!"

Taking money to do a job! Integrity!

A mere old man, watch how powerful I am!

Then...

Ding Xie roared: "Accomplice, die!"

Bang~~~ Liu Xue was kicked back by Ding Xie's powerful and heavy foot, a full 4 meters away.

"Ugh~~~~"

Liu Xue rolled a few times, lay on the ground, and vomited frantically.

His brain was completely dazed.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Then Ding Xie continued to rain heavy punches on Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng screamed, feeling his bones cracking, and nosebleeds sprayed out continuously: "You... let go of me! I have money! I'll give you money!"

"Money?"

Ding Xie's eyes were as angry as a bull's. "Want to bribe me with money? Children are the hope of the future! You poisoned them to make money? A beast like you who doesn't even spare children is worse than a pig or a dog! I, Ding Xie, hate scum like you rich people the most in my life!"

The surrounding prisoners watched with boiling blood, erupting into deafening cheers:

"Good! Well said!"

"Go Master Ding! Avenge the children!"

Sang Bang and Tang Xin even jumped up and clapped, more excited than if they had won a fight themselves.

Amidst the cheers, a fist the size of a sand pot smashed fiercely into Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng's face!

"Ah—!"

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng screamed repeatedly.

"Let you harm children! Let you have no conscience! Let you do things that hurt heaven and reason!"

"Bang!" Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng was knocked to the ground by a punch, and Ding Xie raised his foot and kicked him, cursing as he kicked: "Human scum! Degenerate! Human dregs!"

After 1 minute...

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng was bleeding, lying on the ground, whimpering.

Killer Xiong finally took righteous action at this moment:

"Ding Xie! Stop! If you hit him again, I'll put you in solitary confinement!"

Ding Xie then stopped.

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng lay on the ground, bruised and swollen, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, his head buzzing, with only one thought left in his heart:

"Money... why is money useless?"

"Damn it!!"

Being insidious and narrow-minded, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

He would make Ding Xie rot in prison!

3 hours later,

"What? This bastard is already serving a life sentence?"

"I..."

Pfft~~~~~

Lin Lin Lin Lin Decheng spat blood and collapsed to the ground!
