Started from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 180 180 [Do you dare to say that I am wrong? ]

Central Hospital
There were more than a dozen uniformed policemen standing on the fourth floor of the inpatient building, armed with live ammunition. There were also several plainclothes policemen in the yard, sitting on the stairs smoking, and the security was quite strict.

Li Wendi felt a little nervous. The bodyguards around him were more cautious than usual, obviously because the police were on alert.

"The Governor of Hong Kong has given the order personally, so the Director takes this matter very seriously. If the two gangsters had not been seriously injured and lost their basic ability to move, the vigilance would have been even greater." Yan Zhijie said expressionlessly, but he was actually comforting Li Wendi by saying it casually, telling him not to be nervous, as the gangsters posed no threat to him.

Li Wendi nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sir Yan."

Yan Zhijie glanced at Li Wendi and said with a smile, "Being a police officer is always like this. It's the same job that Li Sheng did before, it's all about risking your life."

Li Wendi smiled. Being a policeman means risking your life, but being a gangster means risking your life. At least the policeman has a gun and can make money legally, but the gangsters have to risk their lives at any time, and the money they earn is just enough to make ends meet.

Yan Zhijie pushed open the door of the ward and motioned for Li Wendi to go in, while the bodyguards had to stay outside.

In fact, according to the rules, Yan Zhijie also had to stay in the ward to observe Li Wendi's actions and prevent Li Wendi from attacking the bandits.

Li Wendi walked in slowly and the door behind him slowly closed. He saw the bandit covered in bandages with one leg hanging up. Only half of his face was visible, but he could roughly guess what the bandit looked like. Those eyes seemed to want to eat Li Wendi.

"You should be able to understand Hong Kong dialect." Li Wendi sat down and ignored the fierce eyes. I was almost killed by you guys, and you think I owe you?
"My purpose in coming here is very simple. I just want to know who ordered you to kill me. If you tell me, I can avoid causing trouble for your family."

The bandit smiled palely and silently. "You actually threatened an orphan, then go dig out my family and kill them again."

Of course, Li Wendi would not believe the bandits' words. People who have experienced turmoil have strong minds. It is easy for him to pretend to be helpless. He smiled faintly and said, "Really? Then I have to check to see if what you said is true."

"Don't worry, even if they are dead, I will dig them out and thank them for giving birth to your son."

Who doesn't know how to say harsh words?

The gangster stared at Li Wendi for a minute. Seeing that Li Wendi had a faint smile on his face, he suddenly jumped up and struggled to get close to Li Wendi. Unfortunately, the wound on his body was pulled and he grimaced in pain.

"We did it all. We saw in the newspaper that you had made a lot of money and should be able to pay 1000 million in cash. That's why we planned to kidnap you and get some money to spend. Of course, we will kill you after we get the money."

"My patience is limited. You are going to die anyway. As for your family, as long as you are willing to tell me, I guarantee that they can get 20 Hong Kong dollars. If you don't tell the truth, I can also use 20 to buy the lives of your family. I think many people are willing to make this money." Li Wendi said with a slightly ferocious expression.

He has never been a good person, and he has no conscience pressure to be a bad guy today, after all, this group of people wants to kill him.

"I said, no one ordered us to do this. We just want to ask you for some money. It's because you have such a big reputation in the stock market."

Li Wendi still didn't believe it and continued to threaten the bandits. Unfortunately, the bandits didn't reveal the mastermind until they collapsed. Therefore, Li Wendi felt that this might really be a coincidence.

"Mr. Li, how is the situation going?" Yan Zhijie glanced at the ward and saw that there was nothing unusual about the bandits.

Li Wendi smiled and said, "Sir Yan, you are unmoved. Can you tell me the results of your interrogation?"

Yan Zhijie thought about it seriously and felt that it would be okay to do Li Wendi a favor. "Mr. Li, please tell me! I will tell you everything I know."

"Why did this group of gangsters want to kill me?" Li Wendi asked with a grim expression.

Yan Zhijie replied, "According to the answers given by the criminals, they initially just wanted to kidnap you and demand a ransom of 1000 million. After receiving the money, they planned to kill you and flee to Southeast Asia."

"Sir Yan, do you think there is a high possibility that there is someone behind this gang of criminals?" Li Wendi continued to ask. Yan Zhijie shook his head and said, "It is unlikely. The weapons and ammunition they have are all stolen. If there is someone behind this, they should be provided with weapons or money. Otherwise, robbing an arms dealer would be very risky."

Li Wendi continued, "Has it been confirmed that they robbed the arms dealer? Why didn't the newspapers report it?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Li. The robbery of the arms dealer is 100% true. As for the fact that the newspapers didn't report it, that was entirely the decision made by the higher-ups. We are small-time people and cannot explain why." Yan Zhijie spread his hands and answered helplessly.

"Well, thank you Sir Yan! Next time I'll host you, please come and do me the honor." Li Wendi said with a smile.

After coming out of the hospital, there was no smile on Li Wendi's face. The truth of the matter still needed to be confirmed from other aspects, rather than relying solely on the answers of these people to determine the truth.

The Peninsula Tsim Sha Tsui
Li Wendi followed He Zefeng to attend a banquet. As for the nature of the banquet, it was an official, small banquet hosted by the Environmental Protection Bureau.

In fact, Li Wendi also received an invitation letter, but it would be more effective if she attended with He Zefeng.

"Director Mei, long time no see!" He Zefeng greeted a middle-aged man with a big belly with a warm smile.

"Haha!! It's Mr. He. I haven't seen you for a while. How are you?" The middle-aged man clinked glasses with He Zefeng.

Of course, the liquid in He Zefeng's glass was not wine, but mineral water.

"It's almost fully recovered. Thank you Director Mei for your concern!" He Zefeng spoke very politely.

"Who is this?" Director Mei looked at Li Wendi and asked.

Li Wendi did not respond, but smiled, waiting for He Zefeng to introduce him. He Zefeng had no choice but to smile and say, "This is Mr. Li Wendi, the boss of Changxin Real Estate Company and Zhonghua Entertainment Real Estate Company. He is on good terms with the younger generation in the family, so he came here together."

"I see! Mr. He is always willing to help the younger generation." Director Mei looked at Li Wendi again and said with a smile, "Mr. Li is a leader in the new generation of the business world. He owns two listed companies at a young age. He needs to take care of the Environmental Protection Bureau in the future."

"Director Mei, you're too polite. I'm just a small businessman. The Environmental Protection Bureau doesn't need my care. Director Mei should take care of me more." Li Wendi certainly didn't dare to be arrogant. The director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, Mei Duoli, was a powerful figure. No one knew whether he would need this relationship in the future.

He Zefeng also took Li Wendi to meet some people in the business and political circles. Although He Zefeng never said that he was the "mentor" or "introducer" who recommended Li Wendi, everyone else knew that Li Wendi had a relationship with He Zefeng, and that the relationship was not shallow, otherwise why would He Zefeng personally take Li Wendi with him.

However, there are also people who come out to disrupt the situation, such as his "love rival" Liu Jingqi.

"Mr. Li is not only a prominent figure of the younger generation in the business world, but also the 'number one general' of He Liansheng." Liu Jingqi ridiculed Li Wendi in front of everyone.

"Mr. Liu should have been educated, so how come he doesn't know the truth that 'a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold'? Does it mean that once a person has done something wrong, he can never turn back? According to Mr. Liu, a criminal can only end his life by being sentenced to death. Then how come Mr. Liu has never done anything wrong in his more than 20 years?" Li Wendi's series of questions left Liu Jingqi speechless.

If one agrees with Li Wendi's statement, then he is a petty person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. If one refutes Li Wendi's statement, then he is an evil person who is ignorant of the world and confuses right and wrong. No one will dare to make friends with him in the future.

However, in such a public place, Li Wendi certainly would not "press on the advantage". Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, there is a misunderstanding between us, but it is a small misunderstanding. I apologize to you here. How about we still be friends in the future?"

Everyone nodded in agreement with Li Wendi's decision to "give him a way out", which was in stark contrast to Liu Jingqi's approach and further proved that Li Wendi was worth associating with.

He Zefeng was not disgusted by Li Wendi's "pretentiousness", but rather admired it. He certainly knew the character of people in the upper class, and how could they survive without some means.

Li Wendi's approach is undoubtedly an open conspiracy. People know that Li Wendi is quibbling, but they cannot refute it. This is like shouting slogans in later generations. Do you dare to say that the slogan is wrong?
Liu Jingqi's eyes were evasive. He was naturally unconvinced at this moment, but if he didn't take the opportunity to go down the stairs, he would be even more embarrassed. So he left angrily after saying "Okay, there will be no misunderstandings between us in the future."
