"Hong Kong tycoon is detained, Kowloon is in chaos and strife resumes!"
"Shi Zhijian was redressed and Li Zhaotian deserved what he deserved!"
The next day, newspapers and magazines in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong published such explosive content.
In the Aberdeen area, Lame Dragon's newspaper stall was even more lively. A group of people gathered here to read various newspapers, all of which were about "The feud between Shi Zhijian and Li Zhaotian!"
"Wow, look! It's written well! Master Cai, the famous crape myrtle fortune teller in Hong Kong, gave orders to Li Zhaotian and Shi Zhijian, saying that Li Zhaotian came to earth as the Greedy Wolf Star, and Shi Zhijian came to the world as the Kuixing Star! It's a pity that Greedy Wolf's fate
The destiny is in the north, Kuixing's fate is in the south, Hong Kong belongs to the southern region, which is good for Shi Zhijian, and finally suppresses greed and defeats Li Zhaotian!" A man with glasses shouted while shaking the newspaper.
"Tch! These fortune tellers are all talking nonsense! Or they just like to use hindsight! Why didn't he criticize it before?" said a sloppy man.
"Well said! The fortune teller said that I will make a fortune this year. There is still one day until the end of the year, and I still owe the casino thirty yuan! It's a shame for his mother!" a gambler cursed.
"You like gambling so much, even if you have a fortune, you will still lose it!" The man with glasses said scornfully, "If you are smart, just stop it! Maybe you can still save some money and spend the New Year in peace!"
While these idle people were reading free newspapers, Lame Dragon came over with a feather duster and said, "You should stop it! You always read my newspapers without paying! Even if it only costs a few cents, you can't bear to part with it?!"
The man with glasses chuckled, "It's not that I'm reluctant, I'm helping you promote it! Look, there are so many people who will buy it even if I don't buy it!"
Lame Dragon used a feather duster to clean up the dust on the books and periodical stalls, "You can help me do publicity for free! That copy of "Chinese Business Morning News" costs three cents, do you want to buy it?"
The man with glasses curled his lips, "Why, you think I can't afford it?" He shook the newspaper and said, "But I forgot to bring money today, I will definitely buy it next time!" After saying that, he quickly put down the newspaper and ran away!
Others laughed, some started to buy newspapers, and more just watched the fun and gradually dispersed!
For them, Shi Zhijian and Li Zhaotian are both big figures in Hong Kong, out of reach! As viewers, their only pleasure is to listen to some of their gossip, and then read about it casually, as a source of conversation after dinner!
For Lame Long, it has nothing to do with him no matter how Shi Zhijian and Li Zhaotian fight. He is just a newspaper seller. The harder these two big shots fight, the better his business will be! Now that Li Zhaotian has collapsed, then his
The newspaper business is going to stop for a while!
Under the influence of such crazy public opinion, Ritchie Group, especially the shares of Ritchie Construction that were pledged to HSBC, fell crazily, and soon fell below the issue price! As many people said, it was about to become waste paper!
At this time, Shi Zhijian took action in time and spent 30 million to acquire all the shares of Ritchie Construction that were mortgaged with HSBC Bank! By the way, it was equivalent to taking over the Wharf!
…
Hong Kong Central Police Station, detention room.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li! I have read all the confessions and interrogation materials. It will be difficult for you to escape this time!" Wei Dejia, the famous ghost lawyer, said with a solemn expression to Li Zhaotian, who was sitting in front of him.
Li Zhaotian's face was ugly. In just a few days, he looked ten years older. His temples were gray, his beard was unkempt, his expression was haggard, and his eyes were dull.
"I gave you money to save me, not to tell me that I couldn't be saved!" Li Zhaotian punched the table and stared at Wei Dejia angrily.
When the guard nearby saw this, he yelled: "This is a meeting room, no noise is allowed!"
Li Zhaotian turned his head and glared at him.
The guard swallowed his saliva and swallowed the rest of his words.
Although the tiger has no teeth, its power is still there!
Wei Dejia looked through the information in his hand again, rubbed his forehead with his fingers and said: "With all due respect, these confessions are not good for you, especially the tape provided by Shi Zhijian, which is difficult to overturn!"
"It was that kid who tricked me!" Li Zhaotian stood up from his seat, "He and that Li Luofu teamed up to deceive me, and that's why I was fooled!"
The more Li Zhaotian talked, the angrier he became. He was already sure of winning, but he didn't expect that the ship would capsize in the gutter, and he would be defeated by Shi Zhijian, a treacherous boy!
It's my own carelessness!
I was careless!
Wei Dejia frowned again, "Mr. Li, you should understand that it is useless for you to say this! The judge in court will only believe the evidence!"
"Evidence? I'm your mother!" Li Zhaotian suddenly sat back down, looking depressed, "Then what do you think I should do now? I don't want to stay here anymore, I hate the rats here! The bedbugs here!
And the air is suffocating to me!”
Li Zhaotian bared his teeth and claws, angrily explaining and describing!
"You can go out if you want, you can only pretend to be sick!" Wei Dejia gave his opinion, and then looked at Li Zhaotian cautiously, "If I remember correctly, you seemed to be... incontinent on the day you were arrested by Yan Xiong, right?
"
"What did you say?" Li Zhaotian jumped up like a wild cat whose tail had been stepped on, his eyes were about to burst! He looked like he was about to eat someone!
"Mr. Li, please don't be impulsive! That's it!" Wei Dejia explained hurriedly, "If you don't mind, I can apply that you have severe diabetes, which is why you have urinary incontinence. Yan Xiong and his gang will do the same.
They can all serve as your witnesses! In this way, you can be released on bail pending trial, or even admitted directly to the hospital without being detained here!"
"As your lawyer, I have the obligation to provide you with the most advantageous advice. As for whether to adopt it or not, it depends on your wishes!" After Wei Dejia finished speaking, he looked straight at Li Zhaotian to see how he would react.
Li Zhaotian's face was uncertain.
Wei Dejia guessed that he would definitely accept his suggestion. After all, it would be more uncomfortable for a wealthy tycoon like Li Zhaotian to go to jail than to kill him! Rats, bed bugs, vicious prisoners, and brutal prison guards, it was all a nightmare.
!
"If I am put on file, how long will I need to be detained?" Li Zhaotian asked.
He covered his face with his hands and rubbed his cheeks so hard that Wei Dejia couldn't see his expression clearly.
"It will take at least two or three years! This is the result of getting rid of the judge." Wei Dejia said directly without hiding anything.
Li Zhaotian raised his head and smiled, "Two or three years?"
"Yes! If we follow the normal procedure, it will be five or six years!"
"You are very powerful! You can turn a five-year lawsuit into two years!" Li Zhaotian gave Wei Dejia a thumbs up.
Wei Dejia took out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead, "Ashamed!" Then he looked at Li Zhaotian eagerly, "So, Mr. Li, what do you mean now..."
He believes that a smart person like Li Zhaotian, who is afraid of hardship, will definitely choose to be released on bail pending trial and seek medical treatment for illness!
unexpectedly--
"Then I'll just stay there for two or three years!"
"What? Mr. Li, did I hear wrongly?" Wei Dejia looked surprised. He never expected that Li Zhaotian would choose such a result.
Li Zhaotian stood up and said: "You asked me to pretend to be sick and still have incontinence? Who am I? I am Li Zhaotian, Li Zhaotian!"
After speaking, Li Zhaotian turned around and walked out of the reception room, and said the next sentence: "This is my last dignity!"
…
Li Zhaotian gave up bail to seek medical treatment and avoided jail by pretending to be ill, which surprised many people.
Wei Dejia, Li Zhaotian's defense lawyer, was also surprised.
But as he said, he is an excellent lawyer and will definitely respect his employer's choice! And what he has to do is to do his best to fight this lawsuit and let Li Zhaotian receive the minimum punishment!
Li Zhaotian was basically very satisfied with Wei Dejia's efforts, so during the last communication and meeting, Li Zhaotian told Wei Dejia to mail a letter to Thailand to his uncle-Li Yaozu!
Hong Kong's Lee family was once a large family, and it was founded by Lee Siu-tin's great-grandfather, Lee Chun-tung.
Li Zhendong was born in the United States. He returned to Hong Kong with his father at the age of seventeen and studied at Queen's College. After graduation, he directly joined HSBC as a clerk. Because of his proficiency in English and Indian, he was highly valued by his boss at HSBC.
Later, he took advantage of his relationship with Gui Lao and used family money to open the Southern Shipping Company, starting his first gold business! After his father passed away, he inherited the family's opium business and invested the money he earned.
Moving to construction, real estate, foreign trade and other businesses, Ritchie's industry was diversified and the Ritchie Group was gradually established, laying a solid foundation for the future Ritchie Kingdom.
Just when the Lee Group's business was booming, Li Zhendong was assassinated and died, forcing the twin brothers of the Lee family, Li Yaozu and Li Yaozong, to work together to support the Lee family's business!
At that time, Li Yaozu was only seventeen years old, and Li Yaozong was fifteen!
Li Yaozu was ruthless in business and helped the Li family through the difficult years.
However, his unscrupulous way of doing things also offended many Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong and was criticized.
Especially since business no longer pays attention to fighting and killing, Li Yaozu's way of doing things seems even more "outdated"!
For the sake of Li family business, his younger brother Li Yaozong teamed up with the rest of the Li family to openly oppose his eldest brother, and even drove Li Yaozu to Thailand without hesitation of blood and family ties!
Since then, the Lee family business in Hong Kong has been inherited by Lee Yao-zu, who started a new business in Thailand and built such a big business!
And because the brothers turned against each other, they never interacted with each other! Even when Li Yaozong died young, Li Yaozong did not show up, not even to express his condolences!
After Li Yaozong passed away, his eldest son Li Zhaotian inherited the family business. In order to avoid "brothers turning against each other" again, Li Zhaotian drove his two brothers and one sister to places such as San Francisco in the United States and London in the United Kingdom.
Let them be doctors and lawyers, and only give them company dividends every year, but do not allow them to interfere in the family business.
It is precisely because of this that a sudden change occurred in the Li family, and no one was available! Li Zhaotian was detained in prison, but no one could take charge of the Li family in his place!
Helpless, Li Zhaotian thought of his uncle who was famous for his ruthlessness. At this moment, only a strong man like him could control the Li family and save the Li family from this avalanche!
…
Bangkok, Thailand, Chinatown.
Blue bricks and Chinese tiles, and low Cantonese-style arcades are scattered on both sides of Chinatown.
This is neither a wealthy area nor a slum. Most of the Chinese who come to Thailand to seek life gather here.
Most pedestrians on the road wear T-shirts, Tang skirts, small coats, and even children's bellybands.
The women wore big glossy black braids and squeaked their wooden clogs in Chinatown.
Li Yaozu, who is sixty-five years old this year, has some sparse hair, but it is combed back. He is wearing a purple-black Tang shirt and robe, sitting in a private room of a teahouse.
He took out a large cigar from the cigar box made of cherry blossom wood, used a cigar cutter to trim off the cap, and then gently bit it on his mouth.
He did not use a metal lighter to light the cigar, but used a long match specially designed to light cigars to slowly light the cigar, and then spit out a silver dragon-like smoke.
Li Yaozu squinted his eyes and looked down at the teahouse with a cigar between his fingers. Several children were playing football on the muddy ground, women were washing clothes by the faucet, and men were pulling carts loaded with newly picked durians.
Li Yaozu waved his hand, and a servant behind him came forward and placed a black box on the table next to him.
"Let's start!" Li Yaozu said.
"Yes, sir!" The servant bowed, then picked up the whistle hanging around his neck and blew!
Woo——!
The whistle is loud!
All of a sudden!
The children who were playing football stopped playing!
The women who were doing laundry stopped washing!
The people who were pulling the cart stopped!
Everyone gathered around following the sound of the whistle, their faces beaming with joy!
Seeing that the crowd had almost gathered, Li Yaozu took a puff of smoke from his cigar, flicked the ash downwards and said, "I know what you are saying, what should we do now?"
"Give me money!"
"How about giving some money?"
"Mr. Lee!"
"Why should I pay?"
"Because you are a good person!"
"Hahaha!" Li Yaozu looked up to the sky and laughed, "Well said! I, Li Yaozu, am a good man! You are all Chinese, and I am Chinese too! If I don't help you, will someone else help you? Come on, give me some money.
!”
"Yes, sir!"
The servant grabbed a handful of Thai baht and threw it under the teahouse!
The people below started to grab madly!
Adults and children come together!
"This one is mine!"
"mine!"
"Don't grab it from me! It's mine!"
Children and women who usually seem weak have become more ferocious and tough at this moment! They grab with their hands and bite with their mouths! They look like grinning beasts! Those men are somewhat restrained!
"Did you see that? Everyone must prostrate themselves in front of money! Money can turn cowards into warriors, children into devils, and women into beasts!" Li Yaozu held a cigar between his fingers and pointed to the bottom of the teahouse.
, with a look of contempt.
The servant bowed and did not dare to speak!
Li Yaozu looked at the lively scene below, so he grabbed a large handful and sprinkled it himself. Feeling that it was not satisfying, he simply bit his cigar and picked up the box and sprinkled it all!
Banknotes were like heavy rain, falling from the teahouse!
The people below are crazy!
Li Yaozu is very happy!
This is something he must do every month!
Throw money!
Give alms to these poor people!
Others praise him as a kind man and a philanthropist!
Only Li Yaozu himself knows that he enjoys this crazy scene!
Man and beast!
The only difference is whether you know how to steal money!
At this moment, a female voice behind him said: "Abba, a letter from Hong Kong!"
Li Yaozu, who was currently excited, suddenly turned his face away and asked without looking back: "Who are you?"
"Lee Zhaotian!"
"That boy?" Li Yaozu turned around and looked at his daughter Li Xuexuan.
Li Xuexuan is twenty years old this year. She has a pink face and peach cheeks, phoenix eyes and a beautiful nose. She is as beautiful as a peach and as cold as ice. She always has a serious smile on her face. She is known as the "Ice Beauty". Even his father Li Yaozu sometimes looks a little bit cold.
"Afraid" of her.
In fact, Li Yaozu has done too many cruel or unscrupulous things in his life, so much so that he has no children. After being driven to Thailand from Hong Kong by the Li family, he obeyed the famous god "White Dragon King" here.
"As he said, he started to spread money and give away property to the poor! Only then did he accumulate a little Yin Gong, and he gave birth to such an only daughter when he was forty-five years old!
Li Yaozu cherished his daughter so much that he held it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and held it in his mouth for fear of it melting!
Ever since he was young, Li Yaozu has given his daughter the best things, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, education, and everything else. Whatever can satisfy his daughter, he will do it!
"Bring it to me and take a look!" Li Yaozu said.
Li Xuexuan handed the letter he received to Li Yaozu.
Li Yaozu bit his cigar and opened the letter, only to see a children's song written briefly——
"There is a goose in the sky, my brother has a wife and his brother has no one. I have a baby and call him uncle, but the uncle is helpless. He has luggage and a small bag to pack, so he packs it and crosses Siam!"
Li Yaozu, who originally had a calm expression, was slightly trembling.
Daughter Lee Seol-hyun could see it clearly from the side. She knew her father was a man who had always been unfailing, so why was she so excited when she saw such a nursery rhyme?
In fact, this nursery rhyme is a very common song in the Chaoshan area. Many Chaoshan people can sing it, especially in Chinatown, Bangkok, Thailand, where many people have heard it.
Li Yaozu folded the letter, looked at his daughter and asked, "What happened in Hong Kong?"
"Lee Siu-tin, the head of the Lee family in Hong Kong, was arrested and heard that he will be sentenced to two years in prison!" Lee Suet-hyun said, "Abba, maybe this is an opportunity. We can go back to Hong Kong and take back everything that belongs to you!
"
Li Xuexuan knew that his father had always been worried about things in Hong Kong, and especially felt that the Li family was unfair to him. Now there is no one available for Li Shi in Hong Kong. Those young men are either doctors in the United States or lawyers in the UK. None of them can survive.
To benefit the family.
"Abba, don't hesitate! Since Li Zhaotian is willing to write this letter to you, he is asking for help. You can justifiably go back to Hong Kong to take charge of the Li family. You don't need to look at anyone's face!" Although Li Xuexuan is a girl, she is ambitious.
Exuberant, looking forward to the bright night of Xiangjiang River!
Li Yaozu glanced at his daughter, "Did Li Zhaotian be defeated by someone else?"
"I heard it was a man named Shi Zhijian!" Li Xuexuan replied, "This person has been boasted very mysteriously. I think Li Zhaotian is useless!"
Li Yaozu smiled with contempt in his eyes: "When the Li family doesn't need me, they send me to Thailand. When they need me, they send me a letter to invite me! Do you think I am? If you call me, I will come, if you wave me, I will go.
The Lee family’s watchdog?”
After speaking, Li Yaozu glanced at his daughter and said, "Anyway, I won't go back! As for you, it's up to you!"
Li Xuexuan's eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand his father's intention. A rare smile appeared on his frosty face: "Then the King of Thailand is hosting a treat tonight, will you participate?"
Li Yaozu stretched, yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, push it!"
In Thailand, dare not to take the invitation of the King of Thailand seriously, just to benefit the ancestors!
