Chapter 169 The Insidious Family
As night fell, a flight from London, England, slowly descended into Hong Kong Airport. As Tom Hogan's assistant, Anthony Senna, stepped off the plane, a surge of relief welled up in his heart. At least he hadn't received any emergency notifications during his time on the plane, which meant the situation might not have escalated drastically. It was as if God had truly heard his prayers and reached out to help him.
A limousine dispatched by the Governor's Office quickly picked up the Prime Minister's special commissioner and drove to the Governor's Office. On the way, the Governor's Office's intelligence chief briefly briefed Anthony Senna on the Prime Minister's latest instructions. By the time Anthony Senna arrived at the Governor's Office, the current head of the family, Nalong, had already been waiting for him, despite the late hour.
As soon as Anthony Senna got off the plane, he was taken directly to the Governor's Mansion by a welcoming motorcade. As soon as he arrived at the door of the Governor's Mansion, David Li came out to greet him in person with Na Long, Mr. Bird and others, and directly welcomed him into the conference room to start a closed-door meeting.
Those who participated in the meeting included the Prime Minister's Special Commissioner Anthony Sena, Na Long, Intelligence Chief Mr. Bird and Hong Kong Governor David Li.
After everyone was seated, David Li couldn't wait to ask, "Anthony, what's the situation in Rand now? What news did the Prime Minister ask you to bring?"
"The Prime Minister has already arranged for someone to convey the message to you. I'm here just to help you deal with this matter." Anthony Senna said slowly.
In his heart, he actually hated the people in front of him, but in the next period of time, he had to cooperate with them to deal with this emergency.
"Did the Prime Minister and the cabinet members give any instructions when you came?" David Li looked at Anthony Senna with a flattering look on his face and asked cautiously.
"That's true, but you should stop doing stupid things." Anthony Senna snorted coldly and said, his face full of disdain and contempt.
After hearing this, Li David's face turned very ugly, but he still suppressed the anger in his heart and smiled apologetically: "Haha, we will definitely pay attention."
Anthony Senna was even more dissatisfied when he saw David Lee's reaction, thinking: "This guy is such a loser, he can't even manage his own men."
David Li clearly felt the dissatisfaction of the Prime Minister's special commissioner, and he could understand it. After all, the mistakes made by the Hong Kong Governor's Office this time were too outrageous, and David Li did not manage his subordinates well, so that his subordinates dared to bypass him and assassinate well-known figures in society.
After this, the conference room fell silent. David Lee didn't know what to say, Anthony Senna didn't want to speak, and Mr. Bird, the intelligence director, wasn't in a position to speak. The only person left standing was Long, but he sat there calmly, saying nothing.
After about ten minutes, Li David couldn't hold it any longer. He felt that this was not a solution and he had to find a way to ease the atmosphere. So he took the initiative to speak and said, "I wonder if the Prime Minister arranged for the head of the Long family to come here for some action?"
Anthony Senna was puzzled. "Your people at the Governor's Office told me this information, how could you not know it?" However, Anthony Senna had indeed wrongly accused Li David. Li David truly did not know. Because the information that that company was behind the bounty on Guo Yingnan's assassination was extremely confidential, the Prime Minister had arranged for Mrs. D to directly inform the intelligence director, Mr. Bird. Mr. Bird concealed this information from Li David, only telling him that he needed someone from that company to negotiate some matters.
Anthony Senna said angrily: "The Prime Minister's instructions to me were also told to me by the people in your Governor's Office. Didn't you communicate with the head of the Long family in advance?"
Li David turned his head and looked at Mr. Bird. If looks could kill, Mr. Bird would be killed ten times by Li David. Li David was really angry now. His direct subordinates had begun to hide things from him. It seemed that he was too kind. Even Li David himself had forgotten that he came from the Special Air Service Regiment. The number of enemies he had killed with his own hands was almost over a hundred.
Something happened that made David Li even more angry. Mr. Bird said, "Mr. Governor, what follows is highly confidential. Please leave the meeting room temporarily. You do not have the authority to know this confidential information."
"Fuck you, Prime Minister. I am the Governor of Hong Kong appointed by Her Majesty the Queen herself. There is no intelligence in Hong Kong that I cannot hear. You bastard, you'd better tell me your so-called intelligence quickly and get out. You have been fired by me." David Li roared.
However, Mr. Bird remained unfazed by David Lee's threats, having long foreseen his impending departure from Hong Kong. Reportedly, a significant number of Rand officials harbored resentment towards David Lee. During his tenure as Governor of Hong Kong, he had been too soft on the Chinese, even appointing a Chinese as Commissioner of Police. Faced with this, Mr. Bird remained smiling and responded, "Governor, I receive direct orders from MI5. In Hong Kong, I am merely assisting you and am not required to obey your orders. If you would prefer to remain in this meeting room, that is fine. We can continue our discussions elsewhere."
At this moment, Na Long and Anthony Senna stood by and watched coldly. They each had their own motives, but in reality, they were both happy to see David Lee embarrassed. After all, David Lee wasn't a member of Tom Hogan's faction, but rather a direct subordinate of the royal family. Tom Hogan had grand plans for Hong Kong, so after David Lee's departure, the next Governor of Hong Kong would be someone from Tom Hogan's side.
Nalong was an extremely selfish person. Harming others to benefit himself was always a disadvantage for him, so he was very happy to see the Eagles fighting among themselves. Relatively speaking, he had a better relationship with Mr. Bird, and he was very happy to see David Li suffer a setback.
David Li was filled with despair and loss. He realized he was now completely alone, and the royal family was likely deeply disappointed by this sudden incident. Undoubtedly, his fate was only a dismal departure. Filled with resignation and resignation, he slowly left the meeting room. But then, his military instincts surged, prompting him to impulsively slap Mr. Bird across the face. Then, with resolute determination, he turned and left the room. As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned to Anthony Senna, and said firmly, "Mr. Special Commissioner, I have experienced some health issues and need to be hospitalized for treatment. Therefore, I will leave the handling of this matter entirely in your hands." Without hesitation, he left without a glance back.
"Okay, now that all the irrelevant people have left, let's get back to the topic. So, Master Long, it's your family's turn to take action next." Mr. Bird stared at Long sharply and spoke seriously.
Facing Mr. Bird's questioning, the dragon feigned confusion and replied innocently, "Oh? Our family has been giving it our all. I wonder what exactly you mean by 'putting in effort,' Mr. Bird?"
"Master Long, there's an old Chinese saying that goes 'An honest man doesn't speak in secret'. Why are you pretending to be ignorant? Wasn't your family actively behind the scenes promoting what happened these past two days?" Mr. Bird said straight to the point.
"You are talking about this matter. Our family has always served the Great Eagle Empire and is willing to make our insignificant efforts, so you can rest assured. Just tell me what you need us to do." The dragon answered without hesitation, without any intention of shirking responsibility.
Mr. Bird nodded slightly, then turned to Anthony Senna. Anthony Senna looked at the dragon with a determined gaze and slowly said, "We need complete intelligence on Guo Yingnan in Pengcheng, including his whereabouts, activities, and the people he's come into contact with. Furthermore, we need a comprehensive understanding of the opinions and attitudes of China's top leadership regarding this matter."
Hearing this request, Nalong's brow furrowed slightly, a look of embarrassment on his face. He coughed lightly and said tactfully, "You think too highly of our family. We're just a family of merchants. How could we possibly have the ability to obtain the intelligence you're talking about?" His tone revealed a hint of helplessness and powerlessness.
However, the dragon did not refuse directly, but left room for maneuver, giving himself a chance to redeem the topic. He knew that he could not easily offend these people, especially when it came to the interests of the Great Eagle Empire.
Anthony Senna seemed to have anticipated Na Long's reaction. He smiled slightly, a sly glint in his eyes. He spoke slowly, "Master Long, if the outside world knew you were the mastermind behind the bounty on Guo Yingnan's life, I wonder what they would think? How chaotic would Hong Kong become?" He then quietly observed Na Long's expression.
