"Boom~~~" As the gates opened for the last horse race, a tidal wave of noise could be heard outside the racecourse.
Feeling the killing intent of the stern-faced old man, Bishop Aldrich shook his head sternly: "If he didn't have absolute strength, how could a capitalist like Chen Hongtao have only one person by his side, probably that incompetent female bodyguard? Without him, it would be difficult for us to pose a real threat to him."
"Nine years ago, I heard that there was a big fight between Dream House and Jiusheng Mining Building. Some practitioners were also involved, but none of them caused him any harm. That Chen Hongtao should not be simple." The red-haired girl guessed. said.
Aldrich smiled slightly: "If he were an ordinary person, how could he survive a plane crash? Although Chen Hongtao has been very low-key these years, all signs indicate that he should be a cultivator. Cecilia beside Amy Saying that he can't feel his cultivation aura makes people even more suspicious."
"If what you say, Bishop, is not that Cecilia is lying, it is that he is hiding it very deeply. I didn't realize that he was a cultivator when we met before." The sturdy middle-aged man also became cautious at this time.
"Looking back now, there are many doubts about the tragedy that happened in Esther Manor nine years ago. A total of 13 people died in Esther Manor. The attack was very neat. Since the entire manor was burned, it is extremely difficult to investigate and collect evidence, but it is certain What's interesting is that some people were killed by silent pistols, and some were cut to death by sharp weapons. It should be two people who did it, judging from what we learned from all aspects. The person who was dismembered was suspected to be Harris. In this case Although it has been settled, it is still unclear what the murder weapon was that was so terrifying and capable of causing such lethality." The red-haired girl reminded several people.
"I still know about Harris and Stephen. If there are two people who attack them, they must have strong strength if they want to defeat them in a head-on confrontation. At that time, Chen Hongtao and Dou Qian were very close. , people can¡¯t help but guess that it was those two people who did it. It¡¯s just that the last fire destroyed almost all the evidence, and Dou Qian died later. Some things are simply unproven.¡± Aldrich looked embarrassed and seemed a little helpless.
"In the conflict between Dream House and Jiusheng Building, the FBI was directly involved. The nature of the case was defined as a supernatural crime. There are many doubts in it. Can the FBI get a breakthrough?" The sinister old man looked confused. So pretty.
"Impossible. Although Chen Hongtao has withdrawn from the capital market in recent years, his roots in the American political system have become deeper and deeper. Not to mention those cases nine years ago. They were all handled very cleanly by the FBI. Even if he remains If there are any doubts, no one dares to investigate. If we want to go through the government channels, it will not work." Aldrich directly rejected the old man's expectations.
"Now that I think about it, everyone who opposed Chen Hongtao seemed to have been killed. Even the Ye family forces on the border with Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos were destroyed. It's just that Dou Qian had been friends with him before. I don't think so. I understand why he fell out with Chen Hongtao." The red-haired girl looked a little confused.
"Heisha Security Company has done a lot for Chen Hongtao over the years. Lu Yizhong and Zheng Fan, who manage the security company, are die-hard Chen Hongtao. They do things very cleanly and neatly, and their people are well-trained. Over the years, they have accompanied the United States and the United States Oil reserves are deeply involved in Middle East affairs, and Black Sand Security Company has also received large contracts from the US military and investors. We cannot afford to offend this kind of mercenary security company. If we want to use force to make Chen Hongtao surrender through informal channels, we have not made a breakthrough at all. The capabilities of Black Sand Security Company." Aldrich sighed.
The sturdy middle-aged man said cautiously: "The Black Sand Company is a security guard in name, but its equipment is better than that of the regular U.S. Army. They serve both the occupying forces and the occupied people. On the surface, their goal is only money, and the benefits they have gained are huge. , it is still more than enough to support the operation of the entire security company. Its customers include the U.S. military and many government departments. It also has deep connections with multinational companies and foreign governments. It is just like a tool of war. In the past, this mercenary security company was still It¡¯s not very scary, but over the years, with the numerous contract tilts from the U.S. military and domestic and foreign law enforcement agencies, the development speed of this black sand security company has begun to become more and more fierce.¡±
"Right now, it seems that if we want to make progress on the ambergris matter, we have to find a way to negotiate peace with Chen Hongtao. It's difficult for Amy to go that route. Not only does she control the Green Group, but also Kennedy The family also has deep connections with Pearl Holdings in terms of capital politics. Her husband Byron and the Morgan family all have a nepotistic relationship with Pearl Holdings. Even if the mysterious seed is controlled by Chen Hongtao, Ai Mi will not break up with him, which is why she still gets along harmoniously with Chen Hongtao all these years even though she has lost control of Tianhua Island." Although Aldrich said this, his expression was not very optimistic, evenThere was even some regret that he came rashly and made Chen Hongtao unhappy.
"I heard that today at the Stock Exchange, Chen Hongtao seemed to have blocked a group of international speculators from attacking the Hong Kong financial market. Is this an opportunity worth taking advantage of?" the red-haired girl asked with some anticipation.
"It's unlikely. The relationship between those financial giants is far from being as simple as it seems. The relationship is deeply entangled, and as a Chinese, it's understandable that Chen Hongtao defends the stability of Hong Kong's financial market. After all, the Chen family has a red family background. The family's heritage has maintained an influence that cannot be underestimated in China's political landscape. This family's characteristics will not easily change much because Chen Hongtao becomes a foreign capitalist." Aldrich seems to have a deep understanding of the Chen family. With extraordinary understanding.
Just as Aldrich and others got into the car with deep thoughts and left Happy Valley, Chen Hongtao, who was in the VIP viewing stand, looked very calm.
The last round of horse racing during the day came to an end amidst the passionate shouts of the on-site commentator. As Chen Hongtao expected, the winner of the last 2,400-meter final was the brown horse called Shenhuang, and the winner of the Pearl Star barely got a place among the top six.
Seeing some rich people from the Jockey Club celebrating their harvest in the distance, Sun Yujuan couldn't help but ask Chen Hongtao: "The boss seems to be out of character today. He didn't mean to be polite to those people and offended them. Is it really okay?" "
"There is a saying that people are harmless but tigers have harmful intentions. It all comes to them. It doesn't matter whether they offend them or not. From the looks of it, they are here with bad intentions. They are just trying to give me a blow." Chen Hongtao He took a leisurely sip of red wine and smiled.
"I have heard about the Holy Alliance organization over the years. It seems to be a group composed of practitioners. Those few people gave me a very dangerous feeling. In the future, if possible, I should try to have as little contact with those weird people as possible. It's better to be on guard." Sun Yujuan warned Chen Hongtao vigilantly.
"This is not a question of whether I want to contact them or not. Didn't you hear just now? Inviting me to join the Holy Alliance is just a pretext. Wanting to get a share of the affairs of Tianhua Island is the real purpose of those guys. Speaking of being my bodyguard, it is not a good job. Before I lived on Campelos Island, accidents happened one after another. The company's bodyguards also died, and the rich people were not without their worries. The more things I own, the weirder things come to my door!" After talking about it, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but laugh and sigh.
"The boss is already a very good person. Regarding your matter, many Western media have maintained a unanimous silence. If you don't know something about the boss, it would be difficult to imagine that a big boss like you lives on Campelos Island. Rich!" Sun Yujuan said with a smile.
"Appearing to be rich is not really rich, but in the world's capital political system, I am far from the only one who enjoys such treatment. Just like Nicole and Winnie, they are also unknown, the Rothschild and Rockefeller families Over the years, huge wealth has been accumulated, but the real and exact figures are becoming increasingly hazy. Maintaining mystery can lead to a comfortable life, and it is also a good protective umbrella. Only by letting others see clearly will a lot of troubles arise. Afraid." Chen Hongtao picked up a piece of lobster meat and put it in his mouth.
"It seems that as early as the development of Pearl Holdings, Rockefeller Plaza had been sold by their family, and its important business equity was also extremely dispersed and diluted. And the Rothschild family's most important family capital now is in Europe. Rothschild Bank, the wealth of these big families is really like the Chen family, and disappeared in the end!" Sun Yujuan said with a strange and suspicious expression.
"Everyone has a different understanding of what wealth means. Because their location and mentality are different, people's ideas must also be very different. The pursuit of the poor is food and clothing, and the pursuit of the rich is enjoyment. We Just live your own life, there is no need to delve into other people's secrets. Speaking of which, I am a little curious about the future changes of the little ones in the family. I wonder what kind of personalities each of them will have as they grow older. ." Chen Hongtao's smile revealed a little anticipation.
¡°What kind of changes does the boss hope to bring to Zhenfei and the others?¡± Sun Yujuan asked with interest.
Chen Hongtao did not raise his head while enjoying the food: "Let nature take its course. To survive in the capital market, you need composure and wisdom. If you want to be a dandy, it is not bad to have the character of a showman."
Sun Yujuan covered her mouth and smiled, but her expression soon became serious: "Since the people from the Holy Alliance have come to the door, they may not give up. Should the boss consider eradicating those guys?"
Chen Hongtao raised his head and glanced at Sun Yujuan with a smile: "You are cruel, but as a person with status, status and wealth, he will inevitably be?There are many people scrutinizing and thinking about it, but you can't kill everyone. Let's have someone investigate first. As long as you have some knowledge in your mind, when the situation changes in the future, it won't be too late to consider how to deal with it. "
"This time the boss came to Hong Kong, and Xie Xiankun and Liu Yiqiu also came with him. Do you want to discuss it with them? As for safety management, I will inform Minister Zou Qing directly." Sun Yujuan said cautiously.
To Sun Yujuan's expectation, Chen Hongtao actually laughed: "The Holy Alliance organization sounds scary, but in fact it is similar to the White Lotus Sect. While shouting about magical power and invulnerability, guns and guns fell to the ground. This is the true reality of the cultivators. To illustrate, times have changed now. Practitioners are like clowns and magicians in the circus. Even if they can create some strange tricks, they are still not as spectacular as spending ten to eight yuan to buy a long-tube firework and set it off. , you should have seen before, the practitioners were shot like dogs under the FBI's foreign guns and cannons, and they were running for their lives, right?"
"What the boss said is true, but it is still a bit unsettling to be targeted by such a person with evil intentions. As the boss said, times have changed now, and those weak cultivators have learned how to do it with guns and cannons. Keeping up with the times, there is no guarantee that something will happen!" Sun Yujuan reminded with a smile.
"I have a hunch that maybe it won't be long before the Bishop of the Holy Alliance comes to visit me. Let's leave this matter to Xie Xiankun and Liu Yiqiu. Let them come to Banshan Manor to find me tomorrow." Chen Hongtao wiped his mouth and said.
"The night race starts at 7:15, and there are eight races left. Boss, do you want to stay and continue watching? Although Pearl Star's condition is not good today, we still have other horses, and we have great hope of winning a single race." Sun Yujuan asked Chen Hongtao.
"It's enough to watch a game. There are always winners and losers in horse racing. You can follow me to Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon in the evening. Let's go to the night market and have some snacks and drinks." Chen Hongtao seemed very interested.
"Do you want to call a few more people? Temple Street is very complicated. I'm afraid something will happen." Sun Yujuan looked extremely cautious.
Although she didn¡¯t say it, since she just met with the Aldrich people from the Holy Alliance, Sun Yujuan had a feeling that even if a few people stood up at random, she would not be a match.
Chen Hongtao gave Sun Yujuan a comforting smile: "It's not necessary. It's inconvenient for a whole bunch of people to follow us. Since we're out to play, you should relax."
I saw Chen Hongtao¡¯s relaxed smile. Although Sun Yujuan disagreed with her boss's actions, she still nodded and followed Chen Hongtao to the elevator front room.
However, before the two of them reached the front room of the elevator, they encountered a large group of seemingly extraordinary people.
"Go away~~~" A young man with a very angry temper was about to push the chest of Chen Hongtao, who was wearing ordinary clothes, as if he was dissatisfied that Chen Hongtao was blocking the way of a large group of people.
¡°Boom~~~¡± Before the man in a suit could put his hand on Chen Hongtao, Sun Yujuan, who had cold eyes, punched him in the face. Hit it directly to the ground.
The change happened so fast that many people didn¡¯t react.
¡°Damn it, I see you¡¯re getting impatient~~~¡± Several people in suits saw their own people being beaten. It seemed like he was about to step forward.
"Bang!" Without any hesitation, Sun Yujuan pulled out a pistol from her suit and shot the man in the suit in the head who wanted to attack him.
Blood spattered on some people¡¯s faces, and the bullet holes between the man¡¯s eyebrows made people¡¯s hair stand on end, but they were neatly knocked down, and they were so dead that they could no longer die.
Just when a group of people were stunned and didn't dare to make any move, Chen Hongtao smiled and glanced at the dead man lying on the ground, then glanced at a group of people who seemed to have extraordinary status, and then left with a playful smile. , as if someone died in front of him, like trampling an ant to death.
"Wait~~~ Do you want to leave after killing someone?" A woman in gorgeous clothes saw Chen Hongtao pressing the elevator button, and she was brave enough to stop him.
With Sun Yujuan's pistol pointed at him, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the woman still looked calm. He stopped trying to enter the elevator: "She was the one who killed in self-defense. She has nothing to do with me. Besides, she was killed." A thug, I don¡¯t think anything will happen.¡±
Hearing Chen Hongtao's laughter, many people's expressions changed. Compared with the domineering style of these people, Chen Hongtao gave people the feeling of complete indifference to life. He seemed not to regard people as human beings, just like killing people. Chickens are butchered and dogs are treated like livestock.
"Ding~~~" Another elevator door opened, and several people who got off the elevator couldn't help but look surprised when they saw Chen Hongtao.
"Boss!" Teng Yaodong, the president of a real estate group in his sixties, almost saidHe immediately recognized Chen Hongtao, who was wearing ordinary clothes.
" Mr. Wei and others walked down the elevator with Teng Yaodong, who were obviously here to watch the night horse racing.
Hearing what Teng Yaodong said, the woman in the crowd who had been graceful and elegant just now suddenly felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"You came just in time, call Daisy and ask her to find someone to take care of it." Chen Hongtao said to Teng Yaodong with a smile, and then entered the elevator. He seemed to have no intention of staying in the place of right and wrong.
After Chen Hongtao left, Teng Yaodong briefly observed the situation, and then shouted loudly to the woman in the crowd who seemed to be about to collapse: "What's going on?"
Without waiting for Teng Yaodong¡¯s arrangements, the bodyguards quickly disposed of the body, and Sun Yujuan also put away the gun again.
"Mr. Teng, this is completely a misunderstanding. I didn't expect to run into the boss" The woman struggled to explain to Teng Yaodong what had just happened.
At this time, among the people of extraordinary status who were fawning over the woman, no one dared to breathe loudly for fear of getting into trouble, even the gangsters.
"It has only been nine years since the company was handed over to you and it has changed completely. In the words of the boss, it is incompetent! Are rubbish people like this also members of the company? If you didn't know better, you would have thought that the holding company had done something wrong. He's in the underworld!" After hearing Sun Yujuan's whispered words, Mr. Wei couldn't help but glance at the ashen-faced woman.
"Her name is Zheng Bixia, she is an investment manager in the Hong Kong branch" Teng Yaodong couldn't help but feel even more uneasy when he thought of Chen Hongtao leaving.
