Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1167: Panic of the Masses

As the police disclosed the relevant information about the Z Fund, countless Hong Kong Island citizens panicked.

In the past, when they saw this news on TV, newspapers and other information channels, they just took a look at it. Now they are actually involved in it, which makes them really panic.

Countless Hong Kong Island citizens spontaneously began to gather at various places such as the Police Department and government buildings.

Governor Murray MacLehose immediately called Wong Bing-yao's mobile phone.

"Fuck, what do you police officers want to do? Can something like this be made public?"

Huang Bingyao quickly apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, Governor. It's mainly because those reporters pushed us too far. Besides, I've already discussed this matter with you, Governor. We've even found a solution. The mainland has decided to help us overcome this difficulty."

MacLehose gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, okay, Wong Bing-yiu, you want to play this trick on me, right?"

He was very angry at this time, because Hong Kong Island still belonged to Britain, not the mainland. Now asking the mainland to help Hong Kong Island, where would Britain put its face?

However, they felt that it was not cost-effective to ask Britain to help Hong Kong Island, after all, Hong Kong Island would be returned to the mainland in two years.

Taking action at this time would be a thankless task.

Britain now neither wants to help Hong Kong Island nor wants the mainland to help Hong Kong Island.

This is also the reason why the two sides have not reached an agreement even after the mainland delegation has been here for so long.

The reason why MacLehose said he was willing to talk to the mainland was that he was planning to play a delaying tactic. After all, it was not convenient to refuse such a thing.

But he never expected that the police force would act first and report later, and directly announce the case information to the public. Now, MacLehose was left speechless and unable to say anything!

Even the British side would have opinions about him. After all, he is the current governor. Now that something has happened in Hong Kong Island, he is asking the mainland to help. What kind of thing is this?

British traitor?

Or do you plan to take advantage of 1997 to defect to the mainland directly?

Sometimes, an opinion from the top leaders is enough to decide many things. MacLehose, who originally belonged to the frontier history, had a bright future even if he returned to England.

But after this incident, it’s hard to say whether I will have a bright future after returning.

No matter how incompetent the British top leaders are, they will never allow someone who may turn to the mainland to take a high position.

So at this moment, Murray MacLehose was really going crazy.

Huang Bingyao smiled apologetically, "Calm down, Governor. We have no choice but to do this. This Z Fund will be listed in a few days. If they run away with the money, our police force will be condemned forever."

"So we have no choice but to release the Z Fund case information directly at this time. We can't wait until after the lawsuit is filed to release it."

"And the mainland has also communicated with us. They will take action immediately to stabilize Hong Kong's financial market. Please don't worry, Governor. As long as the mainland takes action, Hong Kong's financial market will definitely not collapse."

At this moment, MacLehose's teeth were about to break. He wished he could bite Wong Bing-yau in person, eat his flesh and drink his blood!

"boom!"

He put down the phone heavily.

After taking a few deep breaths, MacLehose realized that at this point, the situation could no longer be reversed. If he continued to help the Z Foundation and the Landlords' Association, he would be in great trouble.

After all, there are some things that can be done but cannot be said, let alone let ordinary citizens know and discuss them.

Especially the mainland now, it is really possessed by the god of war. Any neighboring countries who dares to disobey will be defeated by real swords and guns.

Why is Britain willing to return Hong Kong Island? It is definitely not because they have a change of heart, but because the mainland has now completely stood up. If they dare not return it, the mainland army will start landing tomorrow!

In this situation, would Britain dare not return it? The positions of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council were not won by winning people's hearts and minds through votes, but were won through fighting.

Britain may seem powerful, but in fact, if a real war breaks out, it will be easily shattered. Even the Americans dared to fight and won, let alone Britain.

On the other side, before Huang Bingyao could put down his phone, calls came in frantically from various departments including the Security Bureau, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Administration.

He gave a helpless wry smile and said to Watson beside him, "Brother, next time you want to cause trouble, can you please let me know in advance? I'm almost becoming the punching bag of every department."

Watson smiled awkwardly. He also understood how outrageous his actions were. If it weren't for Huang Bingyao holding him back, these calls would have gone straight to his phone.

"Old Huang, those who are capable should do more work. Don't worry, your contribution will not be forgotten."

"Get out!" Huang Bingyao shouted angrily.

"Yes, yes, I'll get out of here right now!" Watson smiled awkwardly and walked out.

Just as he was about to close the door, Huang Bingyao shouted, "Send people down to maintain order. Don't clash with the crowd. Try to resolve the situation."

"Yes, Sir!" Watson shouted immediately.

It's better for me to deal with this problem myself.

Before he came out, he had asked his assistant to call all the leaders of the police force's operational departments to a meeting in the conference room.

So he went straight to the conference room. At this time, the leaders of various departments were already sitting in their respective seats, with their backs straight and serious expressions, waiting for Watson's arrival.

The moment Watson walked in, everyone stood up and saluted.

Watson waved his hand: "Okay, everyone, take a seat!" After everyone was seated, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I believe everyone has understood the current situation."

"Countless citizens are gathering downstairs at the police station. According to intelligence, some are also heading towards the government building. What we need to do is to maintain order and try to persuade them to go home."

"At the same time, everyone can assure these citizens. On behalf of the police force, we, in conjunction with the Ministry of Finance, have immediately frozen all funds in the Z Fund. Once the case is solved, we will return the money to everyone one by one. Please don't worry!"

"You can tell all the citizens of Hong Kong Island what I said. At the same time, we must maintain order and prevent people from deliberately causing trouble. If we encounter troublemakers, we will arrest them directly without reporting them."

The commanders of all departments stood up again and shouted loudly: "Yes, Sir!"

"Action!" Following Watson's order, all the police officers in Hong Kong Island began to move, and even many who were on leave were called back.
