Chapter 22 Return to Take Control! Target the Walled City!
The second reward finally allowed Alo to understand the rules. Under the “with the nation resting” condition, only the actions taken by Alo himself that led to the rise of national fortune were counted.
The extent of the increase in national fortune determined the level of the rewards. Among them, investment rebates were guaranteed. However, it didn’t look at the actual value of the money or items invested, but rather how much effort Alo had put in. For the first time, Alo donated 50 million, and the rebate was 100 million.
The second time, he invested 100 million through a business partnership, and the rebate was 200 million. Although half of the 100 million was spent on arrangements, the system still recognized it.
In the car, Alo and James sat in the backseat. On the way, James kept explaining the current situation to Alo. Last night, a large-scale gang riot broke out in Kowloon.
The Digital Gang and the Walled City initially focused on defense. However, after being continuously provoked by the Yi’an Society, they completely lost control, leading to brutal killings.
The riot started in Kowloon City and quickly spread to other districts. Blue Steel urgently deployed police forces, but at the same time, people suffering from drug withdrawal started to riot as well.
In the chaos, Blue Steel completely lost control of the situation. The senior officials in the police station were furious. Fortunately, Yan Tong successfully captured Yi Qun and seized a large amount of drugs.
The police station held a press conference this morning, announcing that they had eliminated the main culprit behind the drug problem in Hong Kong Island.
Thanks to the press conference, the riots from last night were temporarily suppressed. The higher-ups initially wanted Yan Tong to replace Blue Steel to take charge of the situation, but Yan Tong directly refused.
“Yan said only you can save the situation.”
James turned to Alo, smiling as he spoke to him. Alo’s return was also supported by James.
“No problem, leave it to me to handle.”
“By the way, that batch of drugs has already been traded. We made a small profit of 20 million.”
“So, are you interested in partnering up?”
Alo smiled and responded, shifting the conversation back to business. As expected, when James heard the 20 million profit, his eyes immediately lit up!
He knew that the goods given to Alo by his mother’s company were only worth 30 million!
And Alo could make 20 million from that, with a profit margin of 60%!
“Oh, Lei, you shouldn’t have been a police chief!”
“Of course, I’m joining. Let’s get rich together!”
After confirming that Alo was indeed doing business, James became more enthusiastic. The two immediately started discussing the setup and operation of the company while in the car.
When they arrived at the police station, James, with a smile on his face, escorted Lei Luo out of the car. The surrounding police officers paused and watched as Lei Luo reappeared.
There were also many reporters in the police station lobby who hadn’t left, and they immediately rushed up to interview him.
“Chief Lei, are you here to take charge of the upcoming operations?”
“Chief Lei, what do you think of the results of the previous operation?”
“Chief Lei, what is your stance on the current chaos on Hong Kong Island?”
“Mr. Lei Luo, does the turmoil on Hong Kong Island have anything to do with you?”
Hmm?
Alo and James simultaneously furrowed their brows and looked at the person who asked the last question. The reporter’s chest badge showed that he was from a local tabloid.
James was about to get angry and kick him out, but Lei Luo smiled and spread his arms, calming everyone.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here today to end this riot.”
“Hong Kong Island is an international metropolis. This riot was an attempt to undermine us, and it is evil!”
“The Hong Kong government and the police will not tolerate this!”
“From now on, I will strike hard and restore peace to Hong Kong Island!”
After making this statement, Lei Luo withdrew his smile and cast a stern glance at the tabloid reporter. Although he didn’t speak, his eyes sent a warning that made the reporter shiver, his back instantly drenched with sweat.
At this moment, the reporter suddenly realized who the man in front of him was!
This was someone that both the underworld and the government would not dare offend!
After Lei Luo and James entered the building, the other reporters looked at the tabloid reporter with mocking eyes. Some foreign reporters, after inquiring about the situation, cast admiring glances at him.
The tabloid reporter finally couldn’t bear the pressure and immediately turned around and fled. In the police station’s large office, when Alo and James opened the door, the angry roar of the police commissioner immediately reached their ears.
Blue Steel stood there, his face red, with a water stain on his suit, clearly having been splashed with water. In front of him, a group of high-ranking officials had dark expressions, and the police commissioner’s chest was rising and falling rapidly, clearly very upset.
When Lei Luo entered, everyone’s gaze immediately turned to him. Blue Steel’s brain went blank when he saw Lei Luo.
Yan Tong quickly stood up and greeted Alo, while Han Zhen also hurriedly got up. Alo smiled and greeted everyone in the office, but deliberately ignored Blue Steel, as if he didn’t exist. He picked up a nearby chair and placed it in front of Blue Steel, sitting down confidently.
At that moment, Blue Steel looked like Lei Luo’s subordinate. He was full of humiliation and anger, but at that moment, he didn’t dare to act out. James also returned to his position and began to tell the police commissioner about Lei Luo’s assurances. The police commissioner’s expression finally softened, and he furrowed his brow as he looked at Lei Luo.
“Lei, this time things have gotten a bit out of hand. The higher-ups are not happy.”
“The news has even made it back to Britain and has been reported in the newspapers.”
“Now both Britain and the Hong Kong government are questioning our abilities, and the outside world is condemning us.”
“Tell me, how do you plan to resolve this matter?”
Although the police commissioner was dissatisfied with Lei Luo’s boldness in sitting down, he knew that this wasn’t the time to fuss about such details.
At a critical time like this, he knew that someone had to solve the problem. Otherwise, someone would have to take the blame. Blue Steel alone wasn’t enough. Alo looked around and pointed at the Kowloon City map hanging on the wall.
“It’s simple, Commissioner.”
“Just suppressing the riot won’t restore much prestige.”
“Since that’s the case, why don’t we rethink and take advantage of the situation?”
“Take advantage of the situation?”
The foreign high-level officials and Blue Steel couldn’t help but look at Lei Luo in surprise.
Isn’t it just about taking down the gangs? Why do we need to take advantage of the situation?
Alo stood up and walked to the map, pointing at the location of the Walled City.
To make it easier to mark, there was a pin stuck in the Walled City.
“The root cause of the incident started from the Walled City.”
“The Walled City has always been a thorn in the side of the British Hong Kong government because it seriously affected the image of Hong Kong Island.”
“So, why don’t we take this opportunity to remove the Walled City?”
As soon as the words were spoken, Alo directly pulled out the pin!
In the office, everyone’s lips parted, their expressions filled with disbelief…
