Chapter 262 Press Conference
Being selfless is indeed a good thing and an admirable quality. However, during this period of time, when we are sure there is no danger, it is only necessary to turn around and avoid such a small matter. Is it really necessary to make a big deal out of it?
What's more, when he decided to punish him, he was still eating the midnight snack sent by the other party.
In the eyes of most people, this is not selflessness, but making a mountain out of a molehill, using a tiny power as a sword of justice.
No one wants to get too close to someone with distorted values.
Since Qingtouzai can treat the person who kindly brought him midnight snack in this way, he can also turn around and treat his friends around him in this way.
Making friends with such people would be a waste of time.
Moreover, a traffic policeman is not worth associating with at all.
With the words of the veteran Chief Inspector Wang Bingyao, even if Qingtouzai is transferred to the traffic group, the superiors there will definitely not use him unless they are idiots.
Unless this young man is not the illegitimate son of a high-ranking police officer or some big shot, if he offends a chief inspector, he will never have any chance of promotion in the Hong Kong Island Police Force in his lifetime.
After this little episode, Li Wenbin in the conference hall also clapped his hand on the microphone, making a dull sound.
After this action, the originally extremely noisy venue gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes were all on Li Wenbin on the booth.
The cameraman also opened the lens cap and began to adjust the focus.
At this moment, everyone subconsciously held their breath and waited silently.
Li Wenbin straightened his suit, adjusted his breathing, and slowly said, "I believe everyone is very clear about what happened today, so I won't go into details here."
"Due to the inaction of the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Government, no police officer showed up for a full thirteen minutes from the start to the end of the terrorist attack, resulting in the death of thirteen Hong Kong Island residents and the injury of twenty-three people."
"And this does not include the employees of Hutchison Security."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the reporters present lowered their heads and kept writing something down in their notebooks.
The flash lights were flashing wildly, raising the brightness in the room by at least one level.
They have long known that given the strength shown by Hutchison founder Lin Zehao in the business world, he would definitely not swallow his anger or be timid.
Li Wenbin's remarks are almost equivalent to pointing fingers at the Hong Kong Police Force and the government, saying that they are doomed to fail.
However, before things get so bad, there should still be room for things to turn around.
Thinking of this, reporters who still wanted to dig out bigger news began to raise their hands and ask questions.
Li Wenbin ignored these people's actions and continued to talk: "Throughout the history of Hong Kong Island, there has never been such a horrific thing."
"When did an institution designed to protect the safety of citizens become the source of all evil that restricts social development and progress and threatens the safety of citizens?"
“The purpose of the police force is to protect the lives and property of citizens, but now it has become a tool of violence to exploit good citizens.”
After hearing these words, everyone present showed shock on their faces.
They all came from a writing background, so of course they could hear the deeper meaning behind Li Wenbin's words.
After hearing these words, they vaguely felt that Hutchison Industries seemed to be preparing to turn the table?
Could it be that there will really be some unexpected big news tonight?
Thinking of this, the reporters were filled with anticipation.
If the facts are really as they imagined, the Governor of Hong Kong will probably have trouble sleeping.
Little did people know that in a room of the Governor's House on Hong Kong Island, located between Upper Albert Road and Lower Albert Road in Mid-Levels Central, the lights were on.
Although the room was large enough, the atmosphere was quite depressing.
Mai Lihao sat on the sofa, staring at the picture on TV.
As for the others, they followed suit, looking serious and not daring to breathe.
Nicotine has become the only channel for people to vent their inner depression.
Although there was a good ventilation system, the house was still filled with smoke.
At this moment, all those who are qualified to sit in this room are senior government officials in Hong Kong Island.
Even though he was the top officer in the police force, his ranking in this room was relatively low.
With such a big incident happening, almost all Hong Kong citizens who are able to do so will choose to turn on their televisions and watch the Asia Television Channel.
Because it is an exclusive live broadcast, ATV's ratings during this time period are absolutely the highest among all the other shows.
According to backstage statistics, only ten minutes after the press conference began, ATV's ratings surpassed TVB for the first time.
Moreover, half an hour later, it set a record for the ratings of Hong Kong Island's free television station, and was far ahead of the previous record.
The camera returned to the press conference. Li Wenbin suddenly became a little emotional and said in a serious tone: "Once, my boss said something. I didn't understand what it meant at the time. It wasn't until today that I understood it."
Hearing this, the reporters below showed curious expressions and asked quickly, "Excuse me, what did your boss say? Can we listen to it too?"
They all knew that the big boss Li Wenbin was referring to was the founder of Hutchison Holdings and the newly emerged rich man in Hong Kong Island, Lin Zehao.
The previous battle to acquire Hutchison Whampoa seems to be still vivid in my mind.
For the reporters, if they knew what Lin Zehao said in person, they would definitely be able to write two more manuscripts when they go back.
They even thought of a title, which was called [Hutchison founder, Lin Sheng's success experience!] [The secret of the 20-year-old tycoon's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa lies in these words!]
Just these two headlines will definitely sell out the newspaper!
Thinking of this, everyone started talking at once, trying to get Li Wenbin to speak.
Hearing this, Li Wenbin nodded and said slowly: "My boss said that thieves are sneaky because they know shame, robbers cover their faces because they feel guilty, scammers dare not use their real names when they cheat because they know they are immoral, and unscrupulous businessmen go to the temple to burn incense every day because they know they have lost their conscience..."
"Those who do bad things every day and still talk about morality and justice, feel that they are upright, and even let everyone sing praises of them, are the real root of all evil."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face showed a complicated look. Even though they had thousands of words to say in their hearts, when they thought about the fact that they were already married and had elderly people and children to support at home, they sighed and closed their mouths.
However, the hand holding the pen became stronger and stronger, and continued to record faithfully in the notebook.
Although only the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the notebook was heard, it was still deafening.
As for the Hong Kong citizens in front of the TV, they nodded heavily with empathy, clenched their fists tightly, and their eyes were determined when they thought of the scenes in the past.
At this moment, although they are millions of different individuals, they seem to have transcended time and space, united together for the same goal.
Silence is for a better outbreak!
Governor's Palace.
In the huge room, after hearing what Li Wenbin said, Mai Lihao's already ugly face became even uglier.
A white person with a dark face like a black person is really eye-opening.
Mai Lihao let out a long breath, suppressing his inner anger, like a volcano about to erupt, and said, "What on earth does Hutchison Industries want to do?"
"What on earth does Lin Zehao want to do? Doesn't he want the Justice of the Peace medal?"
"I was originally thinking of presenting the award to him personally, but he is being so unreasonable and rude. He doesn't know the general situation. He is totally useless!"
After a pause, Mai Lihao let out a long sigh and said, "Who are you referring to?"
"He's just a businessman, how dare he say such things?"
No one dared to answer MacLehose's question, and no one knew Lin Zehao's true thoughts.
Therefore, they can only remain silent.
Before Mak Lai-ho could figure it out, he saw Li Wenbin on TV continue to say: "So, in order to promote the harmony and prosperity of Hong Kong Island society, Hutchison Industries bears in mind its social responsibility. I, the boss, have decided to help the innocent citizens who were killed and injured this time free of charge, and use the weapon of law to seek justice and rights."
"We officially announce that the Hutchison Whampoa legal team has officially filed a petition with the Supreme Court of Hong Kong Island, the Court of First Instance."
"Suing the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force and the Hong Kong Island Government for seven crimes, including abuse of power and malicious murder."
As soon as these words were spoken, the reporters who were originally writing and drawing subconsciously stopped what they were doing, all raised their heads, opened their mouths wide, and their faces were full of disbelief.
Even the photographers who were carrying cameras on their shoulders stopped what they were doing and raised their heads in unison, with their pupils dilated and their chins slightly open, like sculptures.
What's worse, the heavy machine slipped off his shoulder uncontrollably without even a move to hold it up, as if he had forgotten the fact that he was carrying a camera on his shoulder.
Even the Hong Kong residents who were watching the press conference on TV were caught in a strange moment of stillness.
People of different looks, ages, genders and nationalities, standing, sitting or lying in front of the TV, maintaining different postures and movements, but without exception, all of them were motionless.
At this moment, it seemed as if the entire Hong Kong Island had been paused and time had stood still.
In the conference hall, the cameras of two photographers slipped from their shoulders and fell to the ground. The noise was so deafening in the hall where you could hear a pin drop.
This sudden sound woke up the crowd, who were like wooden sculptures. They changed from their original silence to excitement and madness at this moment.
Everyone present, whether they were reporters or cameramen, were all shouting excitedly. Everyone's face had an expression of happiness, excitement, or disdain, but at this moment, all of them transformed into the most primitive roar!
This is the oldest, most refreshing way since the birth of mankind, engraved in DNA and bone marrow.
At the same time, the images on TV are also spread to thousands of households watching ATV channels through technical means and transmission lines.
Every family and every person has transformed from being dumbfounded and sculpture-like to being alive.
Among them, the citizens whose spines had been broken and whose strength had been taken away due to various reasons before, only felt an itchy feeling on their backs at this moment, as if a hard and straight spine had grown out of them.
The courage that had disappeared was filled again.
Although there was no physical change in the whole person, his spirit and energy had undergone earth-shaking changes.
At this moment, they were no longer confused. They understood clearly that only by closely following the pace of Hutchison Holdings could they defend the rights that belonged to them!
Those high-ranking officials would also be afraid and feel even more pain.
The camera returned to the venue again, and countless reporters raised their hands frantically and rushed towards Li Wenbin.
They tried to use this method to get Li Wenbin's attention and answer their next questions.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard they struggled, they could not break through Hutchison Security's defense line.
You should know that the original Hutchison Security was composed of Shenghe’s elite fighters as the core framework.
In addition, in order to develop the Myanmar market, those soldiers rotated down from the front-line battlefields will also be assigned to Hutchison Security.
In this way, the security company will never lose its core competitiveness.
"Mr. Li, may I ask why your boss made such a decision? Isn't he afraid of retaliation?"
"Mr. Li, may I ask why Mr. Lin didn't come to host the press conference in person? There are rumors that he is now seriously injured and hospitalized. Is this true?"
