Chapter 292: Rich People's Gathering
After seeing the news, Hua Di secretly rejoiced, knowing that his plan had finally succeeded. Those people had indeed silenced Ni Kun as he had predicted. Hua Di felt that this outcome was the best possible outcome.
After all, even if Ni Kun was imprisoned, it wouldn't truly punish him. In Hong Kong, where there's no death penalty, imprisonment might be like a vacation for Ni Kun. While he'd lost his freedom, he still had all the other comforts.
Huadi was not in a hurry to leave. He decided to have breakfast with JOJO before going out. After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Huadi slowly got up and prepared to leave home.
However, he did not go to the police station as usual, but instead went straight to the Hualian Office. He knew very well that the police would not be able to obtain accurate information about Ni Kun's assassination. Since those behind the scenes dared to act, they would definitely handle the matter thoroughly and leave no trace.
Therefore, Huadi deduced that the information the police had received was probably just that Ni Kun's family had died in a gas explosion. The real intelligence gathering center was the Hualian Office.
Of course, Hong Kong has become Asia's intelligence hub, with every world-renowned intelligence organization having offices there. These organizations include not only national-level ones, but also numerous active intelligence brokers. These brokers played a crucial role in Hua Di's meticulously orchestrated operation. A large portion of the information Ni Kun leaked to the police was disseminated through these brokers. Hua Di not only relied on these brokers to carry out his plan, but also earned a small profit from the intelligence fees.
Director Wang, having been up all night, arrived at his office early in the morning after a busy night, quietly awaiting Huadi's arrival. When Huadi entered the office, led by his secretary, Director Wang looked at him expressionlessly and said slowly, "I knew you'd come to see me. Here, take a look at these documents first."
Director Wang looked at Huadi, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He picked up the coffee on the table and took a big gulp, as if the bitterness of the coffee could dispel the fatigue brought on by a sleepless night.
Huadi slowly closed the documents on his desk, a wave of indescribable emotion welling up in his heart. His gaze lingered on the last page, the words dancing before his eyes, leaving him feeling both shocked and helpless.
The incident described in the document was simple and direct: the Eagle Army's Shigang Barracks launched a missile in the early hours of the morning. This act itself was shocking enough, but what was even more unexpected was that the missile's final landing point was Ni Kun's villa.
Precise radar analysis confirmed this conclusion. A subsequent secret investigation of the scene revealed a terrifying truth: the missile wasn't carrying ordinary ammunition, but a heavy, incendiary, penetrating bomb. This weapon was incredibly powerful, more than enough to completely destroy Ni Kun's villa.
Huadi felt a chill run down his spine as he imagined the once magnificent villa being engulfed in flames. Ni Kun's basement wasn't spared either; the entire villa was reduced to rubble, leaving not even a trace of it.
Under such circumstances, the people in the villa were naturally not spared. Ni Kun's entire family, including his bodyguards and the younger brothers summoned by his third brother, were all burned to ashes. This tragic scene kept flashing in Huadi's mind, making him sigh.
"These people are truly decisive and cruel," Hua Di couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't imagine what kind of hatred or conflict of interest could make someone so decisive in issuing such an order.
Director Wang, standing nearby, echoed the sentiment, "Indeed, I never imagined they would actually resort to missiles. This is no ordinary tactic; the slightest misstep would cause a major uproar. Besides, aren't they afraid of the public finding out?"
The two exchanged glances, each seeing the same worry and confusion in the other's eyes. What truth and motives were hidden behind this incident?
Hua Di frowned and said thoughtfully, "They probably won't be afraid. After all, they control a large number of news outlets and can easily manipulate public opinion. And the news organizations controlled by us Chinese are unlikely to report such things. After all, with the handover imminent, stability is of paramount importance. The country will definitely not allow such a missile attack to be made public, and this is exactly what they are relying on."
Director Wang smiled wryly and nodded, agreeing, "Yes, that's true. I originally thought they would take more direct measures, like sending assassins to kill Ni Kun. But now it seems that our estimation of those people was too conservative."
He sighed deeply and continued, "But fortunately, we already know the identities of these people. At least we can make some arrangements in advance. The current situation seems calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents are surging and dangers are lurking everywhere."
Huadi said seriously, "Indeed, our responsibility is to restore order and ensure Xiangjiang's smooth return. This is our most important mission, bar none. I firmly believe that Xiangjiang will return safely to the embrace of the motherland, even if it means sacrificing our lives. After all, Xiangjiang has been separated from its mother for over a hundred years, and this return cannot afford even the slightest mishap."
Director Wang responded with an equally solemn expression, "Indeed, as long as Xiangjiang can successfully return, I have no complaints, even if it means sacrificing my life. However, even if it really comes to that, I should die before you. Even if problems arise during Xiangjiang's return, you must not make any mistakes. Your importance far outweighs all else. Only if you can successfully grow can we truly hold our heads high and stand tall. This is a directive from the highest level. You must clearly understand your own value and absolutely must not do anything dangerous. Remember, this is not a request, but an order!"
At that moment, Huadi deeply realized that all his previous efforts had been highly recognized by the country. He felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, because he knew that his persistence and struggle had not been in vain.
This realization reinforced Wah Di's inner conviction: when faced with danger, he must rush to the front lines without hesitation. He had a clear understanding of his own strength, knowing that as long as he wasn't completely destroyed, he would have a chance of survival. After all, the power of the "Wah Tsai" united was limitless.
Afterward, Huadi continued his conversation with Director Wang, touching upon other matters. As they parted ways, Director Wang handed Huadi an exquisite invitation and tapped it twice. Huadi immediately realized that this gesture must have a deeper meaning.
After leaving the Hualian Office, Huadi couldn't wait to open the invitation and carefully examine its contents. However, to his surprise, it seemed to be just an invitation to an ordinary gathering of Hong Kong's wealthy. On the surface, this gathering was nothing special, and there was no apparent deeper meaning.
Huadi anxiously checked the invitation inside and out, even the inner layer, but still found no hidden information. At this point, he finally understood that although this party seemed ordinary, it actually held a hidden meaning, and it was very likely that something important would happen during the party.
After get off work, Huadi and JOJO went to attend the party together. JOJO was very familiar with this kind of gathering of Hong Kong's wealthy people. After all, her family itself was one of the wealthy in Hong Kong, and she often attended similar gatherings since she was a child.
However, such gatherings often follow a fixed pattern, which makes Huadi and JOJO feel a little bored. In such occasions, various drinks such as red wine and champagne are naturally indispensable, and after drinking too much, going to the bathroom has become a common thing.
When Huadi went to the restroom alone to take care of his personal problems, he was washing his hands when he suddenly realized that there seemed to be no one else in the restroom. However, at this moment, he heard a slight noise coming from one of the cubicles.
Huadi's alertness was instantly heightened, and he approached the compartment cautiously. When he gently pushed open the door of the compartment, he was surprised to find that there was another door hidden in the compartment!
