"Hong Kong's Age of Anorder!"

This was the headline on the front page of Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" the next day, and the editor who wrote this editorial was the founder of "Ming Pao", Cha Liangyong, that is, Jin Yong.

"The age of disorder is characterized by chaos in a pot of porridge! There is no order at all, bandits rob and plunder, and the police do not care; Government directives are not met, everything is paralyzed! The people are crying out, but there is no response! This is Hong Kong, the present Hong Kong, the future Hong Kong, the Hong Kong we call the Pearl of the Orient! ”

This editorial came out.

There was an uproar across Hong Kong.

Everyone was stunned by the Ming Pao article.

Has Hong Kong really reached an era of disorder?

Before these people finished questioning, reality began to slap them in the face.

The police all gathered at the Bureau of Justice to demonstrate, and in the entire three districts of Hong Kong, Kowloon, the New Territories, and Hong Kong Island, there was no one to enforce the law, not even the most basic traffic police.

Hong Kong's more prosperous neighborhoods, such as Nathan Road, Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei and other places, traffic jams, there is no traffic police law enforcement, road clearing.

The car honked incessantly.

The population kept complaining.

Passers-by shook their heads and sighed, what kind of society is this?

And that's not all.

In just three days, the crime rate in Hong Kong has soared thirty times!

In particular, robbery crimes are more frequent, with a column almost every three minutes.

These robbers are very smart, and they know that now the police don't care about them as criminals, and they are arrogant one by one, smashing gold shops, robbing banks, and even starting to attack those rich people in Hong Kong.

Kidnapping for ransom, all kinds of evil.

It would be okay if these evils were only against the Chinese, but unfortunately, the evils do not distinguish between races and each other.

Those ghosts who have always been high have also enjoyed the treatment of being robbed, kidnapped, and extorted.

In the past, they looked down on these Hong Kong Chinese, but now, those Chinese robbers treat them like pigs and dogs.

kidnap a ghost guy and put him directly in an iron cage to extort ransom, ranging from 50,000, 100,000, and 300,000.

Those ghosts are delicate and expensive, where have they suffered this kind of crime, they have asked their families to pay for peace and spend money.

For a time, the kidnappers made a lot of money one by one.

Those ghosts are angry one by one.

……

Jingle bells!

The phone rang at the Governor's Office.

The secretary picked up the phone with some apprehension and asked immediately: "Hello, what's the matter?" ”

"I'm Manager James of Jardine Matheson, do you know what security is like in Hong Kong now? Did you know that my wife was kidnapped? I just paid a ransom of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, do you know? ”

This James is also a bull among the British, and the Governor of Hong Kong, MacLehose, also knows him, so he dares to bark at MacLehose so loudly.

The secretary was frightened, frowned, and finished the call, and then looked at the Governor who was rubbing his face and sitting behind his desk.

MacLehose raised his head and waved his hand at him, meaning you can get it, don't give me the phone.

Today, he answered not ten or eight calls like James's, and almost all of them were yelling at him.

How noble is he?

Governor of Hong Kong!

The Emperor of the Earth here!

But he is also controlled by capital, and these rich people, especially rich ghosts, do not really respect him, and when their interests are damaged, they will turn from English gentlemen to growlers.

After some comfort, as well as an apology, the secretary finally sent this James away, hung up the phone, and then said to Hong Kong Governor MacLehose with a bitter face: "Hong Kong Governor, I'm sorry, I really can't bear it!" If you are scolded seven or eight times a day, you will be depressed! ”

Hong Kong Governor MacLehose hurriedly got up to comfort the secretary, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder: "I know, I know!" There's no way, if I come forward with this kind of thing, it's going to be endless! Thank you for your hard work, yes, God, you are my best subordinate! ”

Comforted by MacLehose, the secretary calmed down a little, "But Lord Hong Kong, now Hong Kong Island is in chaos, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will be -——."

The secretary didn't say what he said, but MacLehose knew what he meant.

Who would have thought that such a major event would happen during his tenure, and if he did not handle it well, his tenure might be stopped.

MacLehose was very distressed, rubbing his temples, "Damn, who can save me?" Who can fix all the troubles in front of them? You see, either the police set themselves on fire, or the robbers kidnapped and ransom -——"

The secretary coughed, with a solemn expression: "Actually, Lord Hong Kong, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not!" ”

"You say!"

"In fact, the source of all this is the Independent Commission Against Corruption, which has done some overkill this time, not only offended many police officers, but also did not take the human rights of those police officers seriously, and it was inevitable that some wrong methods would appear during the interrogation-——"

"The police have been insulted and damaged, and of course they are going to strike and stop strictly enforcing the law; Without the police, those bandits in Hong Kong began to run rampant, so there will be more vicious incidents such as kidnapping for ransom, murder and arson. ”

"You're right, so now-"

MacLehose stopped talking.

The Secretary-General sighed: "Honorable Governor of Hong Kong, what to do now, in fact, you know it very well!" Yes, you're more pleaseable than me! If you want to save Hong Kong and save your political career now, then you have to stop everything from happening! ”

MacLehose tapped his skull, paced up and down in front of his desk with a tangled expression, and looked up at the secretary: "Do I have to do this?" ”

"Yes, although you promised Sir Bailiqu to use that Du Yongxiao as cannon fodder, but now the situation is obvious, only that Superintendent Du can restore peace to the police force, and only when the police force is reorganized can the crime be curbed - all this is a chain reaction, so you must make a decision."

When MacLehose heard this, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to have made a decision.

At this time-——

Jingle bells!

The phone rang again.

MacLehose was startled and motioned for the secretary to continue answering.

The secretary only felt a headache and helpless, he was the secretary of the Hong Kong governor, and his responsibility was to help the Hong Kong governor solve his worries and solve problems.

"Hello, this is the Governor's Mansion! Ah, it turned out to be Sir Bailiqu, are you looking for our Governor? The secretary looked at Governor MacLehose.

In the past, MacLehose, who was on the same front as Bailiqu Station, would definitely answer the call, but now, -——

MacLehose waved his hand and ignored it.

The secretary smiled and explained to Bailiqu that the governor was too busy to answer for the time being, and then hung up the phone.

Seeing this, MacLehose took a deep breath, took two steps behind his back, and turned back to ask the secretary: "You say, if I go to Stanley Prison in person to invite Du Yongxiao out of the mountain, will it look very humble?" ”

The secretary smiled and hurriedly walked up to MacLehose: "I don't know how to call it humble, I only know that things are man-made!" ”
