Chapter 1123 Huang Bingyao's Explosion
Huang Bingyao's expression was very calm. After hearing what MacLehose said, he said directly, "The Governor wants to know the progress of the Landlords' Association case!"
MacLehose's expression changed slightly. The other party's attitude was somewhat beyond his expectations. He was so calm. Either he was submissive to the end or he was determined to fight to the end. He just didn't know what the other party was thinking.
"Well, Director Huang, I'm familiar with the Landlords' Association. They were founded in the 70s, and over the years, they've helped various companies on Hong Kong Island overcome difficulties. It's fair to say that whenever a company encounters financial problems, the first thing they think of is the Landlords' Association."
Having said this, MacLehose glanced at the reactions of Wong Bing-yiu and Watson. Seeing that they were still sitting there listening calmly, he couldn't help but continue, "I know that the Landlord Association has made a lot of money over the years by helping other companies and so on, and has also made some mistakes."
"But!" MacLehose looked directly at Wong Bing-yiu and said, "I think the Landlords' Association has made more contributions to Hong Kong Island than any other. Their existence has helped the rapid development of Hong Kong's financial market. Today, Hong Kong Island can be called the number one city in Asia, and the Landlords' Association has made an indelible contribution!"
"Although they have made some mistakes, I think we shouldn't abandon these people who have made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong Island just because of these mistakes. There are too many companies that have made the same mistakes with them."
"If all these companies and individuals are dealt with, Hong Kong's economic market will completely collapse, and countless people will lose their jobs. Once this happens, it will trigger a chain reaction and plunge Hong Kong into a financial crisis."
"As the Governor of Hong Kong Island, I will never allow Hong Kong Island to fall into a financial crisis!"
At this point, MacLehose's words became stern, his eyes fixed on Wong Bing-yiu. An invisible and huge pressure pressed on Wong Bing-yiu's shoulders, trying to make him bow his head.
But Huang Bingyao didn’t do that!
He stood with his back straight, staring intently at MacLehose, and said loudly, "Governor, do you know how landlords manipulate the stock market and engage in insider trading, causing countless investors to suffer heavy losses, lose their fortunes, and even commit suicide by jumping off buildings?"
"Do you know how much of the Landlords' Association's wealth was accumulated by plundering the wealth of shareholders?"
"Do you know how much profit those companies that colluded with the landlords made?"
Huang Bingyao stood up suddenly, put his hands on the desk, leaned forward, and said imposingly: "You know nothing. You only know how much the landlords have contributed to Hong Kong Island, but you don't know how much they have harmed Hong Kong Island!"
"The current landlord association is completely like a blood-sucking worm lying on Hong Kong Island. No, it should be said that it is a cancer. Its existence will slowly corrode the entire Hong Kong Island. Every day that passes, they will harm Hong Kong Island even more!"
"Therefore, I, Huang Bingyao, will not allow such an organization to continue to exist in Hong Kong Island!"
MacLehose looked at the now imposing Wong Bing-yiu with a look of disbelief in his eyes and could not help but utter, "Are you insane?"
Huang Bingyao had been in Hong Kong Island for so many years that he had no problem communicating in simple English. He immediately said in English, "It's not me who's crazy, it's you who's crazy. You actually want to protect an organization like the Landlords' Association!"
"I know what you're worried about. Aren't you worried that arresting the landlords will cause the entire Hong Kong economy to collapse? Well, I can tell you clearly that our true motherland, just across the strait, has already promised to help us."
Hearing this, MacLehose shouted angrily: "You are crazy, you are really crazy. It's not even 97 yet, and you are colluding with the mainland. You are selling out your country!"
At this moment, Huang Bingyao was completely relaxed, because he knew that when he said those words, his position as director would probably be lost.
No matter how generous the British side is, it is impossible for them to allow someone who openly and secretly supports the mainland to continue to serve as the Commissioner of Police, especially since it is only 95, not 97.
So he let go completely and shouted loudly: "I'm a traitor? My motherland is the mainland, not England, fuck it!"
Having said this, he made an obscene gesture towards MacLehose.
MacLehose was furious at this point and shouted, "I think you are irrelevant as the Commissioner of Police. I now declare..."
At this moment, Watson suddenly stood up and said, "Governor, I advise you to think carefully before making a decision!"
MacLehose looked at Watson and felt insulted. How dare a Deputy Commissioner of Police stand up and challenge him?
Just when he was about to lose his temper, Watson suddenly said, "Governor, even Britain couldn't withstand the pressure from the mainland. Are you sure you can? You have to know that the mainland's qualification as the five permanent members of the UN Security Council wasn't boasted about, it was earned!"
"You fired the Commissioner of Police without reason at this time, and you are shielding a criminal identified by the mainland. This may affect you and your family!"
"If the mainland feels provoked and sends troops to Hong Kong Island, I wonder how the Governor will handle it?"
MacLehose was completely stunned. Although he knew that the other party's suggestion of sending troops was unlikely, he did not dare to gamble, because at that time, the mainland would attack anyone who dared to provoke.
No matter Vietnam or Black people, we will beat anyone who dares to provoke us, and we will win by crushing them.
If I kick out Huang Bingyao, the police commissioner supported by the mainland, for no reason, will the other side send troops?
This is a problem. Although he knows very well that the probability of sending troops is very low, he dare not take the risk, because what is at stake is his entire and his family's political career. If he fails, not only will he have to bear the trial of the military court, but even the entire family will be implicated.
At this moment, even if MacLehose was very angry, he could only bite his teeth and swallow it. He could not bring himself to fire Wong Bing-yiu.
A weak country has no diplomacy. If the mainland was not so strong at that moment, MacLehose would not have paid any attention to Watson's words. But at that time, the mainland was really the hegemon of Asia, and its desperate temperament made all countries unable to raise their heads.
After taking a few deep breaths, MacLehose suppressed the anger in his heart, but he didn't know what to do next.
Watson saw this and hurried up the stairs.
"Reporting to the Governor, Director Huang just said that they will help Hong Kong Island resolve the various impacts caused by the arrest of the Landlords' Association. Under the circumstances, I believe it is time to deal with this cancer of the Landlords' Association!"
