Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong - Chapter 1171
Downey looked at Kane who suddenly appeared, his expression changed slightly, and motioned for the female secretary to go out with the lawyer first.
The royal barrister finally got a “pardon” and hurriedly stood up and followed the female secretary out of the office.
After the two went out, Downey hugged Kane very enthusiastically: “Oh God, you misunderstood me! How could I say that to you? You are my right-hand man!”
“Really? Then why are you avoiding me?”
“Is there? Why didn’t I know? Damn, it must be my female secretary who made a mistake! God, this stupid woman always does the wrong thing!” Downey patted Kane on the back hard, looking like very excited.
“Then Mr. Downey, since you think so, I’m relieved!” Kane said with a smile, “I came looking for you several times, but couldn’t find it. To be honest, I’m so disappointed and desolate!”
Downey accompanied Kane to sit down on the sofa, and said earnestly: “I can understand your feelings, my own brother is in prison, and you have encountered many difficulties. As your backer, I should do more things! “
As he spoke, Downey stood up and walked to his desk, opened the drawer and took out the check, swish, picked up the pen and wrote a paper note, walked over again, handed it to Kane and said, “Look at it. , are you satisfied with the numbers? Can you comfort your wounded soul?”
Kane took a look at the cheque, £100,000! Flicking the check with his hand, he looked up and said to Downey with a smile, “Mr. Downey, you are so generous!”
Downey smiled, picked up the whisky on the coffee table and poured a glass for Kane: “You sound like you’re very dissatisfied, it doesn’t matter, you can tell me how much you want!”
“You know, Mr. Downey, I’m not here to ask for money!”
“I don’t want money, so what do you want?” Downey poured himself a glass of wine, leaned on the sofa, drank slowly, and squinted at Kane.
Kane took a sip of whiskey and said to Downey, “I want you to help rescue my brother!”
“Save your brother?” Downey was startled, “Isn’t he very good in prison, he has food and drink, and he is on vacation in it like a king!”
“Mr. Downey, I hope you can respect my advice!”
Seeing Kane’s anger, Downey’s face sank, and he put down the glass with a snap: “What is your attitude? Where do you think this is?”
Kane took a deep breath: “I’m sorry, it was my gaffe just now—- I beg you, Mr. Downey, please help me, now only you can save my brother from prison!”
Downey crossed his legs and smiled: “You should know what crime your brother committed, arson, assaulting a policeman—-oh no, two policemen died because of him! The latest is very serious, it’s not that I don’t want to help You, I really can’t do anything about it!”
“Mr. Downey, you’re wrong. You don’t know why my brother did that!”
“Why, are you blaming me?” Downey said coldly, “It’s my fault for instructing you to work? I just let you set fire, but I didn’t let you kill people, especially your brother’s madness who chugs while holding a shotgun, it’s very dangerous. It’s alright now, if something happens, even God can’t save it!”
“You mean it’s not going to save you?”
“It’s not that I can’t save it, it’s that I can’t save it! Don’t you understand people’s language?” Downey said impatiently, “Also, I haven’t settled the account with you yet! I told you to burn the warehouse and you will burn it, it won’t last long. Long brains? The warehouse is the property that the old ghost of the Duke of Windsor insured with me. You burn it like this, and you will directly lose 700 million!”
Downey became angrier as he spoke, and suddenly stood up and pointed at Kane’s nose: “Seven hundred million, you know what the concept is? Even if you and your brother help me in a lifetime, you won’t be able to earn that much!”
Kane listened to Downey’s accusation against himself, reached out and drank the glass of whiskey, and suddenly stood up and confronted Downey: “Mr. Downey, I came here to look for you, out of respect for you! With your suggestion , but also to give you face…”
“What do you mean? What if you don’t give me face?” Downey sneered, “I wonder what else you can do?”
“What can I do?” Kane’s eyes flashed a wicked look, and his eyes met Downey’s: “Don’t forget, I have done so many things for you, especially those scandalous things like murder and arson, burying one’s conscience, why not Will you keep a hand?”
The corners of Downey’s eyes jumped: “Leave a hand? Very good, very good, you play this with me too?” With a thud, he sat back on the sofa, looking exasperated.
“It’s you who are not benevolent before I am unjust!” Kane pressed, “If I want, I can send you to prison now and let you accompany my brother!”
As soon as these words come out–
The atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed!
The temperature dropped to freezing point!
……
For a moment—–
Looking at Kane who was about to die, Downey’s expression changed, and he suddenly smiled: “Kane, oh, God! Dear Kane! I was joking with you just now!” He reached out and patted Kane on the shoulder, ” You won’t take it seriously, will you? Seriously, I’m brother and sister with you. I’m very grateful to you for helping me for so many years! To be precise, your brother is my brother. Now that he’s in trouble, what can I do? Will you sit back and ignore it?”
“But it’s a pity, the prison is very strict, I have also asked someone to ask for a relationship, but I still have no clue!”
Seeing that things were turning around, Kane hurriedly said, “Mr. Downey, you are the president of the Apostolic Society, you are very powerful, you can definitely save my brother, right?”
“That being said, things are in the way!” Downey said, pouring another glass of wine into Kane’s empty glass, “Can you do what I asked you to do before?”
“You mean—”
“Fix that Chinaman Shi Zhijian!”
“Sorry, no!”
“That’s it!” Downey raised his glass and crossed his legs, “I told you, you didn’t help me, but you came here to talk to me about the conditions?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Downey!” Kane quickly apologized, “I know what to do, as long as you save my brother—–“
Downey interrupted him: “Wrong! You are so wrong! You helped me get Shi Zhijian, and I helped you rescue your brother in the wrong order!”
“Uh?”
Downey pierced his eyes and stared at Kane: “You still don’t understand? The reason why I can’t save your brother is because of Shi Zhijian’s obstacle!”
Kane looked stunned.
Downey continued: “You should have also heard that Shi Zhijian used to be a viscount, but now he was promoted to an earl. Now he is powerful and powerful, and it is very important to say a word-how can those prisoners easily Let go of your brother?”
Seeing that Kane didn’t speak, Downey patted him on the back comfortingly: “So now you only have two ways to go, either get rid of Shi Zhijian, and I will help you get your brother out! Or just let your brother be in prison in peace. Squatting in prison—-that’s fine, anyway, he’s disabled, there’s food and drink to be the king of the prison, and it’s very comfortable!”
“Don’t worry, I will kill Shi Zhijian!” Kane gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce.
Downey smiled, afraid to shoot Kane: “Very good! I knew you were a tiger, and you will eat people if you are in a hurry! But before we do that, should we find out what he’s doing – what they say in China How to say it, know yourself and know your enemy and win a hundred battles!”
As he spoke, Downey got up and walked to the desk, called on the phone, and summoned the female secretary to come in and report on his old rival Shi Zhijian’s recent movements.
Soon, the female secretary in a hip-packed skirt walked into the room with her documents in her high heels.
“Come on, dear, come and tell Mr. Kane what that **** Shi Zhijian is doing recently?” Downey motioned to the female secretary.
The female secretary took down the documents, opened them, and began to introduce Shi Zhijian’s movements to Kane.
I have to say that since the last time he suffered a big loss, Downey began to pay special attention to the intelligence collection work on Shi Zhijian.
In the information reported by the female secretary, except for some special ones that could not be collected, the rest were all within Downey’s control.
Soon, the female secretary mentioned that Shi Zhijian was preparing for the premiere of “Blair the Witch” recently, and before that, he took advantage of the Duke of Windsor’s funeral to publicize it and invited many celebrities to watch the ceremony.
“Damn Shi Zhijian, he’s very slick, and he can even be used for advertising on that occasion. It’s so shameless!” Downey said viciously.
Kane, however, had a weird expression, pinching his chin: “The premiere of the movie?”
“What, what did you think of?”
“That Shi Zhijian…why does something like movies seem to make less money than other industries…”
“Huh?” Downey couldn’t help but think about this question for the first time when he heard this, “This belongs to his entertainment industry, make movies, support singers, and operate normally!”
Kane shook his head and said, “But I always think it’s not that simple!”
“Why isn’t it simple?”
“Intuition!”
“Intuition?” Downey sneered, “You still have to rely on intuition to get him to work first!”
“Don’t worry, I already have a plan!” Kane squeezed his chin and smiled wickedly.
……
Chinatown, seafood restaurant.
“Ah!” At the door of the private room, Shi Zhijian took out a handkerchief, wiped his nose elegantly, smiled and said to Wade, Thomas and Daniel who were invited: “The three of you can come and sit down, thank you. Endless!”
Known as the “Three Heroes of London”, the three of Wade looked at each other, and Wade snorted coldly and said, “The Earl is very polite. Please forgive me for offending you a lot last time!”
“Yeah, but I don’t know why the count invited us this time?” Fatty Daniel laughed.
Shi Zhijian pointed to the private room and said, “Everyone might as well go in and talk.”
“Alright!” Wade took the lead and walked towards the private room.
To tell the truth, this time Shi Zhijian invited them to dinner, which surprised the three of them.
Originally, they had nothing to do with Shi Zhijian. To be precise, they had a holiday at the last funeral of the Duke of Windsor, but it was such a relationship that Shi Zhijian personally called and sent them an invitation to invite them to this Chinatown today. The restaurant “gets together”.
After receiving the invitation, the three of them met together. They didn’t know what Shi Zhijian was doing, and their curiosity drove them to come and have a look.
Entering the private room, the large room is antique, with Chinese landscape paintings posted, and a guqin is placed horizontally next to it.
To the surprise of the three of them, there was a white man sitting in the private room at the moment, and they were stunned when they saw each other. They felt familiar, but they couldn’t name them.
Shi Zhijian took the opportunity to step forward: “Come on, let me introduce you to everyone,” he said, pointing to the white man sitting upright and saying, “Captain of the British Imperial Navy—-Mr. Gilbert!”
No wonder they were familiar, and the three of Wade remembered each other’s identity. They were the confidants of a certain general in the upper reaches of the United Kingdom.
“Hello, I’m Wade!”
“Daniel!”
“Thomas!”
Although the three of Wade were in high positions, respectively in charge of London taxation, water and electricity business, but the other party’s identity was special, and he was the subordinate of the famous general, so he immediately put down the air and shook hands with the other party.
In fact, the Gilbert and Shi Zhijian in front of them are also “old friends”.
When Shi Zhijian was trapped on Pirate Island, Laidlaw was trained at Scotland Yard, and rushed back to Hong Kong overnight to rescue him. At that time, it was Colonel Gilbert who helped fight pirates! To be precise, Jill was not a colonel at that time, but a major!
That is, through this rescue operation, Shi Zhijian established a deep friendship with Jill. Later, Shi Zhijian ordered Bo Dejia and Hu Juncai to go to South Korea to discuss the arms business. This major Jill was the representative of the British side. labor.
After earning enough money, Major Gill not only took up his post, but was also transferred back to the UK from Hong Kong. As a confidant of the top boss, he continued to participate in the arms smuggling business facilitated by Shi Zhijian, and made the business bigger and bigger.
At this moment, Shi Zhijian had finished the introduction and invited everyone to sit down~www.mtlnovel.com~ The maid of the restaurant knocked on the door and came in, dressed in a cheongsam, and served tea to everyone.
The fragrant tea was fragrant, and the few ghosts couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Shi Zhijian made a “please tea” gesture, blew the tea foam, and took a sip. Then he put down the teacup and raised his head to say to everyone, “Everyone, I’m actually inviting you here today to discuss a business.”
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he looked at Jill, and Jill said with a knowing smile: “I didn’t want outsiders to intervene in this business, but my dear Earl said that everyone who has money makes money. “
When the three of Wade heard this, a trace of solemnity appeared on their faces.
Everyone is a smart person. There are only a few kinds of business that can be done with the soldiers in this world. They are not necessities of life or arms.
The three of them are not wholesalers, so there is only one possibility—arms!
“Ahem, I’m sorry, I’m in charge of taxation. If the two of you run a company and do business, maybe I can help!” Wade shrugged, looking helpless.
“It’s the same with us. We manage water and electricity, and we don’t understand everything else, but we don’t know if we can help the two of you?” Daniel and Thomas also looked at Shi Zhijian together.
In terms of status and status, the Earl Shi Zhijian is actually pressing them down.
Shi Zhijian smiled, picked up the teacup and blew lightly, then raised his head and said, “I don’t know if you all know what it is called ‘money laundering’?”
