Chapter 1411: Chapter 492: The Keswick Family’s Nightmare Begins
On this day, Hong Kong was shaken by a startling news.
Jardine Matheson’s fleet was hijacked!
What kind of presence does Jardine Matheson have?
One of the three major foreign firms in Hong Kong, and the largest and most influential among them.
Moreover, Jardine Matheson also has close ties with many warlords in the Eastern Country. Now, their fleet has been hijacked!
No one dares to believe such a thing.
Everyone who hears this news repeatedly asks those around them whether it’s true or not.
After receiving a definitive answer, everyone understands that sothing big is about to happen.
Indeed, news leaked from inside Jardine Matheson that Johnston Keswick exploded with the greatest fury since he arrived in Hong Kong upon hearing this news.
Nurous employees at Jardine Matheson were whipped, yes, whipped.
So smart people, upon hearing this news, did not linger and left Hong Kong directly, sensing the danger.
Ho Tung stood at the door of Jardine Matheson’s building in Central, taking a deep breath, his mood complicated.
Afterward, Ho Tung stepped firmly into this building that symbolizes power in Hong Kong.
He entered the elevator and went straight to the top floor, walking into Johnston Keswick’s office!
What caught Ho Tung’s eye first was utter chaos; Johnston Keswick, who always paid attention to his image and had his secretary ticulously clean his office, now looked as if ten huskies had been locked in the room all day.
Standing alone, Johnston Keswick panted heavily, with a golf club still in hand; upon seeing Ho Tung, he charged at him like a bloodthirsty hungry wolf.
“You actually have the nerve to co et !”
Johnston Keswick couldn’t believe Ho Tung dared to see him at this ti.
“Fuck, I gave you the coordinates of the empty ships, yet you actually had soone hijack my fleet. Do you know the value of tobacco on that fleet?”
Johnston Keswick swore that if he had a gun in hand, he would shoot Ho Tung right between the eyes!
Ho Tung nodded; though he felt fear in his heart, the action was done and he knew he had no way back.
“I know!”
“Right now, imdiately, have those filthy pirates return my tobacco to , or I’ll have the British army from the Hong Kong governnt kill them all. Not only that, but I will make your family completely disappear from Hong Kong!”
Johnston Keswick shouted loudly.
Ho Tung shook his head and said, “Mr. Keswick, both you and I know that if the British army truly had that capability, there wouldn’t be so many pirates around Hong Kong. Moreover, this ti, it’s not pirates that you’re facing. Even if you kill all the pirates around Hong Kong, you won’t find your goods!”
At this mont, Johnston Keswick resembled a lion wanting to devour anyone, “Tell , why? Why did you do this? I need a reason, or else you will be arrested by people from the Hong Kong governnt and never walk out of jail!”
Ho Tung wasn’t bothered by Johnston Keswick’s threats and calmly spoke.
“It’s simple. Because you told to do it. Isn’t it you who said you needed a reason to deal with Feng’s Shipping?”
Then, Ho Tung stepped back and continued speaking.
“Before I ca, I had my people leak the news; this ti it was Feng’s Shipping that targeted Jardine Matheson’s fleet!”
In Johnston Keswick’s angry eyes, there appeared a trace of doubt. If what Ho Tung said was true, then he should be on his side; why did he really hijack his goods?
“What exactly do you want to do?”
Johnston Keswick looked at Ho Tung with wide-eyed rage.
Ho Tung said, “After releasing that news, I had my people spread another ssage, which was that all this was secretly orchestrated by Mr. Keswick. You wanted to create a false scenario of Jardine Matheson’s goods being hijacked, then have an excuse to deal with Feng’s Shipping!”
Johnston Keswick laughed angrily, “Haha, Ho Tung, I’ve always thought you were a smart man, but turns out, I overestimated you. You’re nothing more than a complete fool; do you think this way, Jardine Matheson will lose control over Hong Kong?
As long as I want, the Hong Kong governnt will not react in any way!”
Ho Tung wasn’t concerned with Johnston Keswick’s ridicule, instead calmly said, “Mr. Keswick, you want a legitimate reason to deal with Feng’s Shipping. Haven’t you considered that Feng’s Shipping also needs a legitimate reason to deal with you?”
Johnston Keswick’s face changed dramatically and then he laughed wildly again, “Impossible. Nobody in Hong Kong can resist Jardine Matheson, let alone an Eastern businessman!”
Ho Tung showed a disappointed expression, and after shaking his head, he said, “Mr. Keswick, your current reaction makes understand one thing, that the strength of Jardine Matheson in Hong Kong is not because the Keswick Family is so smart, but because you capitalize on policy advantages to elevate Jardine Matheson’s status!”
Being ridiculed for stupidity by the very person he had just called stupid was intolerable for Johnston Keswick, “Ho Tung, wipe that expression off your face. You’re nothing but a dog raised by our Keswick Family, and now you dare talk to like this?
