Chapter 1217 The Japanese Intentions
Fearing another accident, Da Bao quickly took the child and Zuo Mingyue into a car. He didn't use a chauffeur but drove himself.
Da Bao didn't distrust Lei Luo and his group; rather, Lei Luo and his group were simply incapable of dealing with the cult.
When the car was halfway there and saw no one around, Da Bao rolled down the window, stretched out his left hand, and a white egret swooped down and disappeared in an instant.
The person following on a motorcycle saw the car, which had been parked on the side of the road, vanish in an instant, scaring the motorcyclist so much that he plunged into the river...
Inside, Da Bao held Wenwen tightly, comforting her constantly. The child was terrified today, and just kept crying silently in her brother's arms.
Zuo Mingyue gently pulled Wenwen into her arms. A fierce glint appeared in the little chili's eyes. She was terrified. These three children had basically grown up with her. If anything happened to them, she wouldn't want to live anymore.
Zuo Mingyue gritted her teeth, looked at Da Bao with a firm gaze, and nodded vigorously.
Da Bao understood that with the couple working together, they were determined to eradicate this cult completely this time. Da Bao jumped out of the spatial dimension, drove back to the villa, and settled Zuo Mingyue and the others upstairs.
The space was normally the safest place, but it was Da Bao's biggest secret and absolutely could not be revealed. He had the little tiger and the white wolf keep watch over Zuo Mingyue and the others at all times.
This time, they even released the little bear cub. In terms of ferocity, the two tiger cubs and the white wolf were no match for the little bear cub. As soon as it heard that someone was going to take away some children, the little bear cub's two beady green eyes flashed with ferocity. It let out a low growl, turned around, and huddled in a corner. With their protection, Da Bao finally felt completely at ease.
Da Bao went downstairs and found that the area was already full of people. Even Ip Man hadn't changed his clothes before he arrived. Da Bao greeted everyone and then picked up the phone to call the Governor's House.
After listening to Da Bao's words, the Governor of Hong Kong remained silent for a long time. Others might not know the inside story of the Anlehui, but he couldn't possibly not know. If he didn't know about such a large organization in his own territory, then he, as the Governor of Hong Kong, would be too useless.
This Anle Society has a powerful backer; they even have supporters in the British Parliament, and quite a few at that. Before he came to Hong Kong to take office, the Speaker and members of Parliament had already spoken to him, asking him to turn a blind eye to the Anle Society's affairs.
If a conflict were to break out with the Anle Society, only the Queen and the Prime Minister could protect him, which is why he hesitated so much about Da Bao's words.
Da Bao held the microphone and saw that the Governor of Hong Kong remained silent for a long time. He knew that things were going to be difficult. He had already raised the stakes to 200 million, but the Governor was still hesitant, which meant that the power behind the Anle Society was too great.
Da Bao could only speak into the microphone.
“Your Excellency, I retract my previous proposal. Instead, I will allocate HK$100 million for medical development in Hong Kong. I do not need the government to openly ban the Anlehui Society. I simply want you to tell me the inside story of the Anlehui Society. I think this should not be difficult for you.”
The Governor of Hong Kong was invigorated. Leaking a secret was no big deal to him. Besides, if the Anlehui continued to develop in this way, it would threaten the British Hong Kong government's rule over Hong Kong sooner or later. If the public took the lead in dealing with the Anlehui, then he would bear no responsibility.
"Alright, sir, I'll do as you wish. After all, we're friends. There's an old saying in China: 'For a friend, you'd stab yourself a few times.' I think that's the kind of person I am."
I will have the police force publish a statement in the newspaper supporting Superintendent Raymond's decision and warning certain organizations not to cross the government's bottom line. What do you think?
Da Bao thanked the Governor and hung up the phone.
He sat back down on the single sofa, picked up a cigar from the table, offered one to Leroy, and then said with a smile.
"The police department will publish a statement in the newspaper supporting your decision, A-Luo. From now on, you've completely established yourself in the police force. Just go for it. Don't worry about money. No matter how much it costs, you can just go to Lao Guo."
Guo Yingnan nodded and shook hands with Lei Luo. Lei Luo never expected that Guo Yingnan was actually the chief financial manager for Young Master Qin. No wonder he didn't need to deal with the flour business but instead ran a casino.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. No business in the world is as profitable as running a casino, and half of Macau belongs to this young master.
Thinking of this, Lei Luo became excited. He was now considered to have some wealth, at least a hundred million, but compared to the two people in front of him, he was practically penniless.
Just now on the phone, that young master casually donated 100 million yuan. I've worked myself to the bone for three years and only earned that much. You know, comparisons are odious.
Da Bao got up, poured a cup of tea on the table, and placed it in front of Ip Man. Ip Man was not a man of many words, but his every action revealed his sense of responsibility.
Everyone believed that with the power of the Anle Society, it wouldn't be difficult to find out who Da Bao was close to and where he lived. So, his appearance in this villa meant that he was irreconcilably opposed to the Anle Society.
“Master Ye, I have already sent someone to pick up your wife and son. I have some things to take care of in the next couple of days, so the safety of the villa will depend on you and Uncle Qing.”
Ip Man smiled and nodded.
"Young Master Qin, please don't worry."
With two masters, Ip Man and Uncle Qing, in charge of the villa, Da Bao can focus on dealing with the Anlehui (Happy Society) without worry.
At this moment, Uncle Qing walked in quietly with a file bag in his hand and handed it to Da Bao with both hands.
"Young Master, the Security Bureau has sent someone with a document."
Da Bao laughed. The Governor of Hong Kong was quite efficient and decisive. He probably had a deep-seated aversion to the Anle Society.
He opened the file bag, took out the documents inside, and began to examine them carefully. The more he looked, the more surprised he became.
It turns out that the Anle Society had two presidents: Prince Fushimi of Japan and Fujiwara Takuya, the head of the Fujiwara family. Their purpose in establishing the Anle Society was not to cause trouble in Hong Kong.
Firstly, they didn't have the guts to anger the British Empire; secondly, there was no need for it.
Their goal was to use Hong Kong as a springboard to control the entire Southeast Asia economically, a goal they had been pursuing since the Japanese military's attempt to conquer Asia failed in 1945.
After much deliberation, the Japanese imperial family and nobility decided that since they couldn't use military force to invade, they would use economic means to conquer. Everything was in ruins and they desperately needed money.
Controlling Southeast Asia would be crucial for domestic development, but how to begin? And through what means? This question has been debated many times.
In the end, it was Prince Fushimi who stepped forward. He proposed establishing a religious sect in Hong Kong to seduce people's minds and use the wealth of Hong Kong people to expand his own economic empire.
