John never expected that he would encounter such a thing after he showed up.
He originally only wanted to go head-to-head with Chen Xijiu, but the sudden media reports caught him off guard.
Faced with the media onslaught, John immediately spotted Chen Xijiu sitting in a chair.
"These questions will be answered one by one at the press conference. I have no comment on your questions now."
John saw his men quickly block all the media behind them and walked over to Chen Xijiu.
He deliberately walked up to Chen Xijiu, extended his hand, and wanted to shake hands with Chen Xijiu to make peace. His meaning was self-evident.
In front of the public and the media, Chen Xijiu shook hands with him, which dispelled the rumors and speculations from the outside world.
Chen Xijiu looked up at John standing in front of him, feeling like a clown. He smiled and sized John up.
"Now you want to cooperate with me? It's too late. The evil deeds you've committed will be exposed to the public today. I never threatened you."
Chen Xijiu refused to shake hands with John and the other man, and the media quickly captured the scene.
At this moment, Ah Kun was already standing in the stands, announcing the official start of the press conference.
"Today is the day our company auctions off the land, and we welcome media coverage."

John never expected that Chen Xijiu would show him absolutely no respect.
Being in front of everyone made him feel somewhat embarrassed.
Various media outlets have already started taking photos, wanting to record this moment. It's clear that Chen Xijiu has no intention of having any connection with John.
"To think that something like this would happen now, it seems that John is not Chen Xijiu's partner at all, and the information he released before must have been problematic."
"That's right. The media came to this press conference to expose John's crimes."
"And he himself doesn't even know it. That's ridiculous! We need to write this down; it's sure to be a huge hit tomorrow."
Everything was now under Chen Xijiu's control, and John immediately realized that Chen Xijiu was beginning to have a significant impact on him.
It seems too late to say anything now.
The press conference officially began, with Chen Xijiu and Ah Kun sitting at the front.
Regarding the impact on real estate and other businesses mentioned in the media reports.
Chen Xijiu also gave a positive response.
In the real estate business, the auction of land has a significant impact on those in charge.
Chen Xijiu took over what Feng Ge left behind, and he had to ensure the success of those real estate businesses and land plots, giving the people of Hong Kong an explanation.
"I believe many people are aware that we had already made plans when we developed the land on Hong Kong Island, and we have also made thorough selections for the commercial buildings."
"If you can cooperate with us, the land transaction will naturally be without any problems. The land plots being auctioned now have a very good effect in the real estate business."
"The location was also relatively easy to discover, and it turned out to be the most advantageous place for the development of Hong Kong Island in the future."
Chen Xijiu's words undoubtedly provided the best message for the media.
Everyone immediately started taking photos to commemorate the occasion.
Chen Xijiu remained very humble when facing media interviews.
He is gentle and handsome, and kind-hearted. He is now not at all averse to media contact with Chan Sai-gau.
John watched Chen Xijiu looking radiant from below the stage, and immediately felt a surge of anger.
He hadn't expected that even though the Governor had made his point so clear, even threatening to remove Chan Sai-kau from his post, he wasn't worried at all.

John immediately realized that Chen Xijiu was definitely not someone who could be easily dealt with.
"Our company has always attached great importance to our business in Hong Kong. Now that someone is already working against us, we naturally have to make some plans."
As Chen Xijiu spoke, his gaze went directly to John standing to the side.
..0…
John was immediately terrified. The media followed Chen Xijiu's gaze and looked over. John slowly stood up and forced a smile.
The next moment, Chen Xijiu threw out the most fatal question.
"Mr. John, could you please answer what will happen to the innocent people who died in the gunfight that took place on Hong Kong Island three days ago?"
"We at the police station are also waiting for a final explanation on how you intend to provide compensation."
John's face turned pale instantly.
Upon learning of this explosive news, the media immediately began bombarding John with questions.
John's two bodyguards quickly stepped forward and blocked the media behind them, making John's face turn ashen with anger.

"At least here I am spouting nonsense. I have absolutely nothing to do with that matter. Besides, the land auction is just around the corner, so why are you trying to drag me into this?"
He was beginning to feel angry.
He knew better than anyone that now that he had arrived, many people were watching his every move.
He definitely needs a strong situation now more than ever.
John glared at Chen Xi Jiu with gritted teeth, but Chen Xi Jiu smiled faintly. At that moment, the big screen immediately showed the events of the gunfight that day, as well as the appearance of Hui Zai and Ah Wei.
"That day, you picked up a gun and fired a series of shots at my good brother. He fell into a pool of blood and into my arms. We brothers wanted to avenge our brother, but we never expected to suffer the consequences at your hands."
The sudden appearance of this event surprised everyone, and the media quickly captured the moment, eager to make it a front-page story. Various media outlets began to focus on the matter. No one had expected that such a significant hidden danger was lurking behind it all.
Hui-zai's appearance has caused everyone to start attacking John.
At this moment, Chan Sai-gau also stood beside Fai-jai. Under the pressure from the media, he did not believe that John could continue to make excuses.
“Mr. John, as the British representative, how can you be so cruel to the residents of Hong Kong Island? We must seek justice for the residents and stop you from using your status to get away with it.”
Chen Xi Jiu's words immediately made Hui Zai and John feel uneasy. John never expected that he would be defeated by Chen Xi Jiu.
He stared at Chen Xijiu with a gloomy look in his eyes, gritting his teeth, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
He had thought that no matter what, Chen Xijiu would never dare to cause trouble for him at this time, but now he realized that he had underestimated Chen Xijiu. The media had already begun to record the events.
John looked at Chen Xijiu in front of him, his heart filled with hatred.
John, feeling guilty, had no way to defend himself. When he looked at Chen Xijiu, he could only silently keep this grudge in his heart and maintain a smile in front of the media.
"That was just a misunderstanding. Our house was robbed, and my men were simply trying to recover our belongings..."
"That's why that gunfight happened on the streets, but I will definitely compensate those innocent Hong Kong citizens in the future."
"All the media outlets can remember what I said: I will absolutely not let them suffer a loss."
When everyone looked at John, it was clear that he didn't care at all about the deaths of ordinary Hong Kong citizens, which led the media to start attacking John.
“It’s unbelievable that something like this has happened on Hong Kong Island. The lives of Hong Kong people are also a matter of faith. No matter how much Hong Kong dollars is given as compensation, it will still be a harm to them.”
“Hundreds of billions of dollars are all in your hands, and now you’re unwilling to deal with the death of an ordinary person even after just a few days. Mr. John, did Great Britain order you to do this?”
The reporter's interview was very tricky; every question seemed to perfectly capture the hottest news topic, leaving John somewhat speechless.
Just then, Chen Xijiu sat down in the seat opposite John.

"Now that you're in front of all the media, it's a good opportunity for you to give an explanation. Wouldn't that be better? Otherwise, we police would have to step in."
If it exists, it's undoubtedly a done deal.
Everyone witnessed John's crimes, and it was impossible to let him off the hook at this point. Everyone was waiting to see how the matter would be handled in the end.
John immediately understood what Chen Xijiu meant.
He forced a smile and immediately made his stance clear when facing the media.
Regarding the issue of compensation, he can make a decision immediately. He will no longer cause trouble for Chan Sai-kau, and he will prepare for every situation that arises for the people of Hong Kong.
"What I did was just what I wanted to do. I had absolutely no intention of killing anyone. Please believe me."
Seeing that the media were unresponsive to his threats, John immediately took out a check for $1,000 million that he carried with him and placed it in front of the media to make his stance clear.
This stopped the media from attacking him.
When Chen Xijiu looked at John, he smiled, and the contempt in his eyes made John feel uncomfortable all over. John silently harbored resentment in his heart.
"Now that Mr. John has made his choice, our press conference will continue. The auction of this land has now been completed, and the land is now on display for selection."
Chen Xijiu brought the topic back, and everyone's attention was drawn to Chen Xijiu, who mentioned that there were now three plots of land.
When Chen Xijiu Company conducted the auction, it had already appraised each piece of land.
Currently, Chen Xijiu's prices are undoubtedly the lowest in the market, which has attracted the attention of his partners.
“These three plots of land are all located in the city center, and the price of the land is in the tens of millions, which shows that Chen Xijiu is very generous this time.”
"This used to be Brother Feng's territory. As you can imagine, Chen Xijiu has now taken over all of Brother Feng's influence. This is truly the biggest business deal in Hong Kong."
“Chan Sai-gau is an upright man who still cares about the people of Hong Kong. There are very few good people like him now. We should start the auction immediately.”
Various partners have begun bidding up the land parcels.
