Chapter 111: The Net Spreads Far and Wide

Chaguoling, Kwun Tong.

Cigarette butts littered the ground; Zhang Wenyao had been waiting here for a full hour, having spent over a week laying the groundwork for this major heist.

He did it all so that when the bombing occurred, there wouldn't be enough police force to surround the Seven Sons of Tianyang.

At this moment, two sedans drove up slowly; Zhang Wenyao was very nervous, as the Seven Sons of Tianyang were Doll Soldiers who had grown up in war and were bloodthirsty by nature, and he feared a double-cross.

The gazes of the two sides met for a moment before Tian Yangsheng got out of the car, opened the trunk, and said, "Superintendent Zhang, don't forget our share."

"Rest assured!"

Looking at Tian Yangsheng, who was filled with a cold, fierce aura, Zhang Wenyao was overjoyed.

After the handover was complete, Tian Yangsheng took off his sunglasses and said sternly, "You know our identity, and we know yours; I hope this cooperation is pleasant."

Clearly, this sentence already carried a hint of a warning.

Zhang Wenyao also said meaningfully, "If I betray you, I'll be arrested too. You stay here and rest well today; I've already arranged a fishing boat. I have to head back to headquarters first!"

"Safe travels."

Tian Yangsheng shook hands with him.

Pulling his hand back, Zhang Wenyao drove toward Hong Kong Island with 100 million US dollars, completely unaware that Lao Yu was already sitting in his car and had followed him to the Hong Kong Royal Police Headquarters.

Arriving at headquarters, he parked the car in a space, locked the doors, and after checking everything carefully, he went upstairs.

Five minutes later, Lao Yu quietly pried open the back seat and made off with the boxes of US dollars without anyone noticing.

After leaving, Lao Yu immediately called Chen Jiajun: "Big Brother!"

"How did it go?" Chen Jiajun asked impatiently.

"Successfully pulled it off; that gang of kidnappers is hiding in Chaguoling!"

"Zhang Wenyao just got back to headquarters, and I managed to get my hands on that money while I was at it!" Lao Yu said with extreme excitement.

"Damn! Get back here immediately."

Chen Jiajun was extremely agitated and immediately told Lao Yu to return first.

Afterward, he called Ya Qi and told him there was no need to investigate Zhang Wenyao anymore.

After the brothers gathered at Guojun Building, Lao Yu handed the 100 million US dollars to Big Brother without hesitation and informed him of the agreement between Zhang Wenyao and the Seven Sons of Tianyang.

Chen Jiajun tossed the 100 million US dollars into his space, clapped his hands, and deployed: "Lao Yu, take some men to see those seven robbers. Their leader is named Tian Yangsheng. Tell Tian Yangsheng that if he wants to live, he shouldn't board the boat; Zhang Wenyao has already betrayed them.

Also, tell them to work for me from now on. If they don't agree, teach them a lesson; otherwise..."

At the same time, Chen Jiajun made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Understood, Big Brother! I love double-crossing the most!" Lao Yu said excitedly.

After deploying the operation, Chen Jiajun was about to set off for the Police Headquarters to see Zhang Wenyao when he unexpectedly received a call—it was Zhang Wenyao!

"Chen Jiajun, this is Zhang Wenyao. I want to see you, if you want to avenge Jiang Tiansheng."

Hearing Zhang Wenyao's words, Chen Jiajun was somewhat surprised.

But in a moment, he understood: Zhang Wenyao wanted to use the power of the triad to launder that money, because Hung Hing had three Gambling Halls.

Tsk tsk tsk.

This Zhang Wenyao probably didn't know that the money was already in his, Chen Jiajun's, hands.

"Time, place."

Chen Jiajun's smile was exceptionally bright.

That night, Chen Jiajun met Zhang Wenyao in the Chairman's office at Tian Shang Ren Jian.

From Zhang Wenyao's calm face, Chen Jiajun estimated that he hadn't yet discovered the money was missing from the car.

That was indeed the case; to avoid leaks, Zhang Wenyao hadn't driven his own car today because he had a guilty conscience and was suppressing his inner urge to touch the money.

At least in the short term, he wouldn't touch it.

"Superintendent Zhang, what did you mean by what you said on the phone earlier?"

Brewing a pot of Pu'er tea, Chen Jiajun tossed a cigar to Zhang Wenyao.

Zhang Wenyao threw the cigar on the table, pulled a pack of Marlboros from his pocket, lit one, and said, "I know that even with us police blocking you, your triads won't just let things go."

Chen Guozhong and Niu Xiong of the Anti-Triad Unit thought that as a Serious Crimes Unit Superintendent, Zhang Wenyao surely wouldn't know the habits of the triads.

In fact, they were standing on the first floor.

Zhang Wenyao was standing on the fifth floor; his goal was to divert police forces so the Seven Sons of Tianyang could successfully grab the money and slip away.

"Let's be blunt. Why help me?" Chen Jiajun picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said meaningfully.

Zhang Wenyao said, "I'll tell you the reason slowly. We police received a tip that the night before Apiao of Hung Lok met Jiang Tiansheng, he met with a drug-trafficking gang, and the two sides completed a deal."

"I know." Chen Jiajun nodded.

Zhang Wenyao continued, "Although we police don't have concrete evidence to prove it's related to Jiang Tiansheng's death, he was one of the suspects."

"I also know." Chen Jiajun continued to nod.

Zhang Wenyao then said, "Hung Lok is already plotting against you at Hung Hing, and you are the primary target. By the way, you've heard of the Central bombing, right?"

After saying this, Zhang Wenyao realized something was wrong: "Forgot, you were at the scene today."

"Because of the Central bombing, the police will divert forces tonight to catch that gang of robbers. This is your chance, and there is only one chance."

"I don't have time tonight, but I will handle Hung Lok in my own way. I want to ask you, what do you want to get? I owe you a favor."

Chen Jiajun lit his cigar and narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Wenyao tilted his head slightly: "Are you sure you owe me a favor?"

"Yes, and I hope you can do one thing for me. After we start our operation, you police take a Shouchaling and search the home of Piao Ge of Hung Lok; there must be incriminating evidence inside his house," Chen Jiajun said in a low voice.

Zhang Wenyao pondered for a moment and didn't set conditions at this time: "Fine, cracking down on criminals is the duty of the Police Force. Remember, you owe me a favor."

"Cooperating with the police is the duty of us concerned citizens. Happy cooperation."

Chen Jiajun extended his hand toward Zhang Wenyao.

The two shook hands, and Zhang Wenyao shook his head, saying: "I have now discovered that all the triad members in Hong Kong seem to underestimate you, this newly appointed Dragon Head."

"If they didn't underestimate me, how would I have the opportunity to cooperate with Superintendent Zhang?" Chen Jiajun said with a loud laugh.

Zhang Wenyao dropped a cigarette butt into the ashtray, "I cannot stay here too long. By the way, I want to borrow some money from you, 2 million. This money must be absolutely clean. I will pay you back in a few months; when that time comes, it will be your turn to return the favor."

"No interest needed, and no need to pay it back."

Chen Jiajun immediately took out his checkbook and swished out the amount of 2 million.

Zhang Wenyao took the check and said seriously: "No, a loan is a loan. Don't misunderstand; I am not asking you for a bribe. I will definitely pay the money back to you. I'm leaving, contact me anytime if there is anything."

"Take care, Superintendent Zhang."

Chen Jiajun waved at Zhang Wenyao.

Late at night.

Chaguoling.

Seeing that the time was about right, Tian Yangsheng gave a wink to Tian Yangyi and the others; the few immediately checked their equipment, and after finishing the check, everyone gave an OK gesture in turn.

Tian Yangsheng pushed open the big door.

And it was at this moment.

Tian Yangsheng felt his hair stand on end, because in front of him was a gun, no, no, no, a total of dozens of guns were pointed at them.

And the person in front, about 1.9 meters tall, had an ugly face.

From his body, Tian Yangsheng smelled the scent of his own kind: bloodthirsty, fierce, and cold.

"Tian Yangsheng, tell your people to put down their guns, and we will put down our guns too," Lao Yu said with a smile.

Tian Yangsheng took off his sunglasses: "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important; what is important is what I am about to tell you. I am here to save you. You have been betrayed. The Police have set a dragnet in Dapu, just waiting for you seven idiots to walk right into it."

After speaking, to show his goodwill, Lao Yu put down his gun.

Hearing this, Tian Yangsheng's pupils contracted, and he shouted: "Who the hell are you!"

"My Big Brother is the Hongxing Dragon Head Jing Jun, ever heard of him?"

Lao Yu clicked a lighter to ignite a cigarette and took a blissful puff.

Tian Yangsheng put away his gun, and the Tian Yang Seven behind him put theirs away simultaneously.

Tian Yangsheng said in a deep voice: "Why should I believe you, and how did you know about this!"

"You don't have to believe me. My Big Brother told me to come save you and have you follow my Big Brother from now on.

But I don't think that's necessary anymore; you are an idiot, your brain isn't sharp, you aren't worthy of following my Big Brother."

Lao Yu flicked the cigarette ash, his tone disdainful.

"A Yi, A Zhi!" Tian Yangsheng said coldly.

The two nodded and immediately climbed into the car.

"Damn it! Are you guys idiots? Driving your own car over there, aren't you afraid of being shot by the Police! Just drive my car."

Saying this, Lao Yu tossed over a set of car keys.

The Mercedes-Benz disappeared into the night. Driving near Dapu, Tian Yangyi and Tian Yangzhi immediately got out of the car and headed toward the agreed-upon location in the dark.

After walking in the dark for about a kilometer, the two stopped.

As natural-born Doll Soldiers, their reconnaissance skills were extremely outstanding; clearly, they had already discovered something wrong.

Tian Yangyi took out a pair of binoculars and looked toward the direction of the seaside. Sure enough, he saw some traces nearby. The Police had already deployed sufficient force in the vicinity, hiding in the weeds and bushes, fully armed.

"Go! Head back!"

Tian Yangyi waved his hand, and the two immediately retreated to Chaguoling.

Returning to Chaguoling, the two got out of the car, panting: "Big Brother, they were right. The Police have already set a dragnet, just waiting for us to take the bait!"
