Chapter 0013 Do you dare to make a bet?
Gao Xian finally saw how much public dissatisfaction had accumulated in Hong Kong under the British rule in this era.
However, the victims are a mob after all. They are all young and middle-aged people with families behind them, and there are a large group of women, children, old and sick, and they have many concerns. They just join in the booing and vent their grievances. On Wen Enhui's side, although there are not many people,
They were all as powerful as wolves and tigers, and they quickly overpowered the chaotic scene.
Wen Enhui, with a cold glint in his eyes, gestured to the crowd with the crutch in his hand, and ordered viciously: "Check, who is causing trouble?"
Zhou Yourong, who had a look of horror on his face, murmured: "What's wrong, the newspaper said that the eldest young master of the Wen family was beaten lame by someone during the riots the year before last. Now, he must be dissatisfied with us."
An obedient person is full of hatred."
Glancing at the crowd where even children were so frightened that they wet their pants, Gao Xian couldn't help but feel his blood welling up. He immediately stepped forward with his waist straight, and spoke directly to Luo Lemin in a loud voice in English: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency the Colonial Secretary,
Please believe that the little restlessness just now is at most just a misunderstanding due to poor communication. When the MPs in the Palace of Westminster in Greater London discuss issues, the atmosphere must be even more heated than here."
"What's more, the victims in front of Your Excellency the Colonial Secretary all come from ordinary families with women, children, old and young, so what danger can there be?"
"As far as I know, the Xiangjiang Festival that is about to open will be grand in scale. It will be the first large-scale celebration for all people to enjoy together since the opening of Xiangjiang as a port. The government hopes to use this to strengthen communication with the people, channel public grievances, appease people's hearts, and raise awareness.
Young people in Xiangjiang have a sense of belonging to Xiangjiang, and citizens can celebrate their hometown as Xiangjiang people."
"His Excellency the Colonial Secretary was able to take time out of his busy official duties to visit the disaster area, which also reflects the much-anticipated people-friendly attitude and pragmatic style, which is in line with the purpose of the Xiangjiang Festival."
"In this environment where everyone hopes for beauty and harmony, and Hong Kong is a recognized civilized society, I believe that the broad-minded Colonial Secretary will definitely look at the misunderstanding just now."
After Gao Xian's call, he was very loud and immediately became the center of the audience, attracting countless eyes.
The upper-class elites who had just been chatting in English for a long time had complex expressions in their eyes after they were embarrassed that they had not expected that there would be someone so proficient in English among the victims.
Luo Lemin's thinking, Shi Chunzhi's accident, Wen Enhui's playfulness, Wen Enjie's doubts, Yi Huiqiang's surprise, Yi Huirong's worry... it can be said to be wonderful, to name a few.
Finally, Luo Lemin waved his hand and ordered Wen Enhui: "Inspector Wen, there is no need to make the atmosphere so tense. I believe they have no ill intentions."
Wen Enhui smiled gloomily, "It seems I'm too nervous."
Seeing that Wen Enhui's men had stopped acting like a wolf, Gao Xian changed back to Chinese and raised his voice and said to the victims: "Okay, it's okay. Your Excellency the Colonial Secretary is here to inspect the disaster area and express condolences to everyone. We should maintain peace."
The mentality and the collapsed situation are not good for anyone."
Gao Xian, who has risen to become the leader of the local people, certainly has effective words, and the situation has truly eased.
"Mr. Gao, nice to meet you, I am Shi Chunzhi." Shi Chunzhi, who had already been introduced by Wen Enjie, took the initiative to extend his hand, "Was it Mr. Gao who served as the English translator for these people just now?"
"Hello, Lawyer Shi." Gao Xian replied calmly: "I think they have the right to know the truth."
"Of course." Shi Chunzhi nodded and changed the topic: "But it is more important to stay rational. My little cover-up is also out of good intentions, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles for the victims."
"Maybe." Gao Xian smiled noncommittally.
Shi Chunzhi took two steps back in disbelief, and Wen Enjie whispered in a friendly voice: "Chunzhi, there is no need for you to compete with this guy, I will teach him a lesson."
Before Shi Chunzhi could express his attitude, Wen Enjie stepped forward and said confidently: "Obviously, the post-disaster relief related to nearly 5,000 people requires considerable resources. The Colonial Secretary was very concerned about this just now.
We inquired in detail and gave instructions to calculate the shortage of supplies as soon as possible so that we can coordinate the efforts of all parties to raise funds as needed for the victims."
Having said this, Wen Enjie turned to Gao Xian and said, "Mr. Gao, as far as I know, you have always been responsible for this aspect of work."
Gao Xian nodded, "I am honored to have the opportunity to participate in this charity relief work and contribute my own modest efforts."
"Then, with Mr. Gao's talent, he must have made the accounts including the receipt of materials very clear and clear." Wen Enjie said with a half-smile: "Now, please take out the account book and let us see it.
Let’s see. If there is any shortage, I believe the Colonial Secretary and Lawyer Shi present will be willing to help.”
Gao Xian said in astonishment: "The accounts have indeed been compiled, but I have handed them over to you a long time ago."
"Please don't be joking." Wen Enjie's pretty face tightened, "When did you give me the account book? Why didn't I know?"
"It was before the Colonial Secretary arrived." Gao Xian said angrily: "You came to get it yourself. Originally, I wanted to hand over the account book to Miss Yi, but you insisted on it because you were one of the disaster relief leaders.
Let’s look at it first and force it away, now why are you pretending to be confused?”
"Mr. Gao, please don't talk nonsense. Before the arrival of the Colonial Secretary, I have been staying in my temporary office. There are many people who can testify." Wen Enjie's face turned cold, "Gao Xian, you haven't been able to get it yet."
When I released the account books, did I do some manipulation to line my own pockets? I was afraid that it would be exposed in public."
"You scheming bitch, you are planning to kill me! Unfortunately, with your superficial knowledge, you would not have thought that when I was using a spreadsheet to handle the accounts, I had a digital image copy of the accounts. At worst, I would have to copy them again.
." Gao Xian, who was secretly complaining, looked with disdain at the wealthy daughter in front of him who was calculating and determined to retaliate.
Wen Enjie showed a ruthlessness that was incompatible with beauty, and stared back at Gao Xian unwilling to be outdone. The mocking meaning in her eyes was clearly: "This is what will happen if you meddle in other people's affairs and spoil my plan!"
Not far away, Yi Huirong saw Gao Xian in trouble and was about to step forward when her arm was firmly grabbed.
Yi Huiqiang whispered: "Little sister, Wen Enjie's timing is very clever. It's not a good time for you to interfere at this time."
Yi Huirong frowned and said: "The reason Gao Xian was deliberately forced into a difficult situation by Wen Enjie was entirely because of me. How could I just sit back and ignore him at this time?"
"So what?" The faint cynicism on Yi Huiqiang's face disappeared and was replaced by a cold smile, "Had Gao Xian not acted as a translator for the victims and disgusted the Colonial Secretary, Wen Enjie would not have caught him.
Opportunities are pursued fiercely. He likes to stand out so much, so he must prove that he has matching abilities and is worthy of our expenditure of resources and help."
Yi Huirong rolled her eyes at her brother and said, "Your approach is too worldly and won't work here."
"Little sister, I know you are soft-hearted. In fact, there is no need for you to worry too much. If Gao Xian encounters the worst case scenario, he will suffer some hardships, but it will not threaten his life. All we have to do is find an opportunity to protect him." Yi
Hui Qiang still held Yi Huirong's wrist tightly, "Look, Gao Xian is really interesting..."
Gazing past Wen Enjie, who was constantly provoking, Gao Xian glanced at Luo Lemin, Shi Chunzhi, Wen Enhui and others who were harboring evil intentions, as well as the Yi family brothers and sisters who didn't know what they were arguing about, and then he said in a loud and flattering voice: "Miss Wen, you are exaggerating.
Since everyone has a dispute about where the ledger is currently, I will write another one. Anyway, the accounts I handled are still in my mind."
Wen Enjie was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Are you sure you can rewrite the ledger by yourself?"
Gao Xian said sarcastically: "I am a man of my word. I can certainly do what I say!"
Wen Enjie rolled his eyes and sneered: "In that case, you have to rewrite the account books that are completely consistent. If there is any mismatch, it will prove that you have enriched your own pockets with precious materials that should have been used to relieve the victims."
