Chapter 554 Cleanup Plan
"The remaining two are the Molsey family, located in the Po Kei Wan and Chai Wan areas of Hong Kong Island, and the Wai family, which trades in grain and oil in Hung Hom and To Kwa Wan!"
Liu Lingling didn't keep the other two families in suspense or waste words; she spoke directly about them.
"What are the backgrounds of these two families?" Fatty Lin asked.
"These two families, the Mo family, were the three generations of Chinese compradors for Swire Group, while the Wei family were the exclusive Chinese compradors for John Bull's Bank!"
"The crimes committed by these two families are roughly the same, but the Mok family is more formidable. Starting in 1870, three generations of the Mok family served as the chief compradors of Swire, spanning nearly a century. They were the absolute controllers of shipping and bonded warehousing at the Eastern District docks and were awarded the title of Justice of the Peace. At their peak, they monopolized the three major industries of coastal freight, sugar warehousing, and ocean freight on Hong Kong Island!"
"The Wai family was no less impressive. Backed by the Home Affairs Department, they started in the materials control department and in the 20s secured the exclusive quota rights for grain, oil, salt, and other daily necessities in Kowloon!"
"These two companies, one exploits dockworkers and treats their lives like dirt!"
"One family hoards grain, drives up prices, and watches the poor starve to death!"
At this point, Liu Lingling paused, then said, "This is only the superficial sin; the actual evil is far greater!"
"Sister Lingling, if those other companies are inhuman, just tell us about these two, we can accept them!" Fatty Lin said.
"Back then, the Mo family deliberately cut corners on dock safety measures to save costs, leading to frequent accidents. They also failed to report, compensate, or perform any rituals for the dead laborers!"
"During the dock expansion, they even used laborers to drive live piles!"
"The docks they control are filled with the souls of wronged laborers!"
"As for suppressing Chinese businesses, causing their peers to be ruined and even killed, these companies have all done it!"
"I understand about the Wei family's affairs!" Fatty Lin said.
We all know what grain merchants are capable of; it's all written in history books!
"These two families aren't on Hong Kong Island right now, are they?" I asked after thinking for a moment.
"Not here!"
Liu Lingling nodded and said, "The main branch has all emigrated overseas; those who remained in Hong Kong are all from branch families!"
This result was as expected.
Those who have committed heinous crimes are well aware of what they have done.
With Hong Kong Island destined to return to China, their biggest fear was being liquidated, so they all sold off their assets and immigrated overseas.
The Lü family was like this, as was the Zhang Yujie family, and the Mo and Wei families were also like this.
"Branch?"
Fatty Lin scoffed and said, "You're pretty fast!"
"They know their own situation, and they're feeling guilty!"
As Liu Lingling spoke, she took out a file folder, opened it, and took out several sheets of paper and a map. She pushed it towards them, saying, "Xiao Lin, Thirteen, this is the location of these five families. I can help you figure out how to handle it. If you lack materials or magical artifacts, I can also help. There's only one thing: I can't go to the site!"
"Sister Lingling, we understand your difficulties. We can handle this ourselves; you don't need to get involved!"
As he spoke, Fatty Lin picked up a map and looked at it.
I also went over to take a look. Not only were those places marked on the map, but they were also highlighted in red, and there were explanations in the documents next to them.
For example, the Zhang family's real estate in Repulse Bay has special privileges in land acquisition, digging up graves and demolishing villages, and binding earth evil spirits on the hillside.
Lui's Textiles in Kowloon Tong: Military Supplies Outsourcing, Laborers Buried in the Factory, Their Blood and Sweat Bind Their Souls.
Zhang Yujie Pharmaceutical Company in Happy Valley, a foreign-owned pharmaceutical company, monopolizes medicines, producing counterfeit drugs that harm the people, and causing deadly poisoning in Happy Valley.
Molex Shipping in the Eastern District, compradors of Swire Group, a prisoner of the docks, a treacherous spirit trapped on the Shau Kei Wan waterfront.
Wai's Grain and Oil Company in Kowloon, which benefits banks and compradors, hoards grain and starving people, causing famine and resentment in Hung Hom.
Five locations, summarized simply and clearly.
"Xiao Lin, look, the areas where these five families are located are interconnected across the entire East and West Nine Dragons region, with the earth's veins and malevolent energies flowing and supporting each other, forming a regional network!"
Liu Lingling stood up, pointed to the map, and began to explain to us, "You can decide how to handle it yourselves. My suggestion is to cut off the branch lines first, then break the main line. First, clear out the two secondary nodes, Mo Shi in the East District and Wei Shi in Kowloon, cut off the connection of the evil energy, and sever the linkage of the entire array's energy field."
She paused at this point, and seeing that we didn't object, she continued, "After that, we successively conquered the three core evil points: the Lü family, the Zhang family of Repulse Bay, and Zhang Yujie."
"Sister Lingling, you're feeding us!" Fatty Lin said with a laugh.
"Kobayashi, oh Kobayashi..."
Liu Lingling pointed at Fatty Lin, unsure how to describe it for a moment.
"Sister Lingling, what I said may be rough, but it makes sense!" Fatty Lin shook his head and said.
"Yes, yes, you're right!" Liu Lingling said with a hint of helplessness.
After explaining the situation to the five families and chatting for a while, Fatty Lin said, "Sister Lingling, we understand the situation. We'll go back and prepare now!"
"Um!"
Liu Lingling nodded and said, "Don't worry about the Xuanmen Association. I'll let you know if anything happens inside!"
As I left the club, I glanced back, let out a breath, and said, "Liu Lingling pulled off a brilliant move!"
"Indeed brilliant!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "Look at the five companies she picked, they're basically all in Kowloon. She didn't choose them herself; they were chosen by the local Hong Kong esoteric sects behind her."
"That's what I think too!" I nodded.
The local esoteric forces in Hong Kong dare not openly resist the financial backers behind them, but they cannot do nothing either, otherwise, if the feng shui formation of the Five Fiends disrupting Hong Kong is truly formed, they will also be in trouble.
Just then, the three of us appeared, and there were no better breakers than the three of us.
Therefore, both we and Liu Lingling got what they needed.
"Brother, Fatty, what are your plans for dealing with these places?" Long Nier asked.
"What should we do?"
Fatty Lin thought for a moment and said, "Girl, this is what I'm thinking: tomorrow we'll go find Hong Taidi, explain things to him, and ask him to help us get into those places to investigate first, then decide how to proceed!"
"Okay!" I nodded, and Long Nier had no objections either.
The next morning, after leaving the hospital, we went straight to find Hong Taidi.
After meeting Hong Taidi, we didn't hide anything and truthfully told him about the background of these five families, the cause of the Earth Fiend, and the internal divisions within the Xuanmen Association.
"Xiaolin, Thirteen, Nier, don't worry about this. I'll handle everything perfectly for you!"
After we finished speaking, Hong Taidi patted his chest and assured us.
After making his promise, he sighed and said, "In a sense, I'm also a pawn in their chaos in Hong Kong. If this matter is successfully resolved, won't I also have a share of the credit?"
"Brother Teddy, there definitely will be. Not only that, but after it's all done, some of the evil aura on you will also dissipate!" Fatty Lin gave a definite answer.
