Chapter 112: One Against Seven

"What do you want us to do?" A storm surged within Tian Yangsheng's heart; he looked at Lao E and asked.

Lao E laughed smugly: "It's very simple. First, come back with me to see my Big Brother. You really are a bunch of idiots; he sold you out, and you're still counting the banknotes for him."

Speaking to this point, Lao E shook his head: "Get in the car with us; don't think about revenge anymore."

Afterwards, Lao E deliberately feigned ignorance and asked, "By the way, where is the money you robbed?"

Tian Yangsheng's heart was bleeding: "It's with that dirty cop!"

"What an idiot," Lao E chuckled.

Society is simple; it is people who are complex.

This was the shared feeling in the hearts of the seven Tianyang siblings, who were acting as robbers for the first time.

What made them even more miserable was that Lao E had been condescending the entire way, ruthlessly trampling on their intelligence.

Driving all the way to Guojun Building, the cheerful Lao E brought the seven Tianyang siblings to the boxing gym first to report back to Big Brother, recounting the process to him.

Chen Jiajun nodded, smoked a cigar, and took the elevator to the boxing gym. As soon as he entered and saw that baby face, along with the angry expressions in their eyes, he smiled and said: "You followed my men back just like this—aren't you afraid I might finish you few off?"

"If you wanted to finish us off, you would have done it long ago."

Tian Yangsheng stared at Chen Jiajun and replied slowly, immediately recognizing Chen Jiajun's identity: "I remember now, we met in Central this morning, didn't we?"

Chen Jiajun smiled: "Not too stupid yet. Let me ask you a key question: who else has seen your true faces?"

"Apart from that dirty cop, no one else has seen our true faces."

Tian Yangsheng did not mention the name of Zhang Wenyao, because he was determined to finish off Zhang Wenyao once he found an opportunity and snatch that money back; he certainly wouldn't be living under someone else's roof then.

Chen Jiajun saw through Tian Yangsheng's thoughts at a glance and asked: "Let's not talk about that for now. You want to finish off that dirty cop?"

Tian Yangsheng turned his head away and did not answer Chen Jiajun's question.

Chen Jiajun sneered: "The money is in the other party's hands, and so much time has passed; who knows where it might have been transferred to by now. Take it as a lesson. It's normal to lack experience when you're out robbing for the first time."

"What do you want with me? You want us to do things for you?" Tian Yangsheng did not answer Chen Jiajun's words but asked him back.

"Be my subordinates and follow me," Chen Jiajun stated his purpose.

"On what grounds?" Tian Yangsheng said coldly.

"On the grounds that I saved your lives, and your seven lives are now in my hands. But I value the seven of you; follow me and you'll eat well and live well. I will give you glory and wealth."

After issuing a threat, Chen Jiajun dangled a carrot.

"Beat me, and I'll follow you!"

Tian Yangsheng clenched his fists; he wanted to vent right now and really wanted to punch Chen Jiajun in his arrogant face.

"Play with my subordinates first."

After Chen Jiajun finished speaking, Ya Qi, Lao E, and Dumu strode forward, looking at the seven Tianyang siblings with ill intent.

"Tian Yangsheng, I advise you not to be ungrateful. The seven of you are no match for me! Of course, if you refuse to give up, I will let you taste my power."

Lao E chuckled.

Tian Yangsheng let out a roar and charged straight at Lao E.

Yet, in the very next moment, he was shocked to discover that the Lao E in front of him had vanished into thin air, and the next moment a voice came from behind:

"I'm behind you, idiot!"

Lao E turned his elbow into a blade and smashed it into Tian Yangsheng's back.

One minute later, all seven Tianyang siblings were lying on the ground.

Lao E puffed on his cigar: "The strength is not bad, much stronger than those sick cats like Chen Haonan. Good enough to be Big Brother's underlings."

As the leader of the Hell Knights, his strength was on the same level as Lao E, who was the Titan Demon Lord.

These seven Tianyang siblings weren't enough for him to crush with one hand.

"The wind is blowing hard lately, so you will stay in this building. Someone will arrange your food, clothing, housing, and transportation."

Chen Jiajun dropped this sentence and left with Dumu and the others.

With the rise in his status, he was now in urgent need of talent to expand his team; whether from the Hong Kong world or the system, he was in dire need!

Meanwhile, the seven Tianyang siblings lay powerlessly on the ground, gasping for breath.

They had never imagined that the seven of them couldn't even last two minutes against Lao E alone, and looking at him, he still had energy to spare and hadn't used lethal force.

"Big Brother, what do we do now?" Tian Yangzhi asked, gasping for air.

"Let's just follow him for now. Once we find Zhang Wenyao's whereabouts, we'll settle the score with him! This grudge must be avenged!"

Tian Yangsheng clenched his fists.

Walking out of the boxing gym, Chen Jiajun called Lao E aside alone, took out a packet of cyanide, and said: "Lao E, go immediately and find out the whereabouts of Piao Ge of the Hong Le. Hide this packet of medicine in his home. Remember, it's to hide it in his home, not for you to poison him."

"I understand!" Lao E took the cyanide.

That night, the Hong Kong Royal Police Headquarters arranged two full teams of heavily armed Flying Tigers in Dapu, with members of the Serious Crimes Unit assisting.

However, after waiting bitterly for an entire night, they gained nothing except feeding a swarm of mosquitoes.

Not only that, the police also had heavy guards along the entire route throughout Kowloon and the New Territories, but they found nothing.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wenyao waited in the conference room at the Hong Kong Headquarters with the top brass of the Hong Kong Police Force for an entire night, everyone occasionally directing the front line via telephone and studying the case.

It wasn't until the next day when they heard the feedback from the Flying Tigers and the Serious Crimes Unit that Zhang Wenyao understood in his heart that the seven Tianyang siblings had likely sensed the anomaly near Dapu, or perhaps they had left Hong Kong through other channels.

But in any case, this was bad news for him!

Because the seven Tianyang siblings knew his true identity; as long as they were not dead, it was like a bone stuck in his throat!

At daybreak, Commissioner of the Hong Kong Royal Police Han Yili convened a meeting of all high-ranking officials at the Superintendent level and above, and invited the victim, the American Bank—that is, the First National City Bank's branch in Hong Kong—to attend.

Commissioner Han Yili, who was English, cleared his throat: "Let me briefly introduce the current situation. We planted quite a few police forces in Dapu last night; clearly, the targets did not show up. They are very cunning."

"Also, we planted countless police forces in the New Territories, but found nothing unusual."

"I would like to ask first, why was our police force on Hong Kong Island so lacking yesterday?"

"If things had gone as usual, with such a major shootout occurring in Central, the robbers would never have been able to get away."

Chief Superintendent of the Anti-Triad Unit Hu Zhuoren coughed and said, "Commissioner Han, regarding this point, I must explain that we, the Anti-Triad Unit and the Serious Crime Unit, have been investigating together. In order to prevent a turf war between the two societies following the death of the former Hongxing Society Dragon Head Jiang Tiansheng, we have deployed quite a lot of police force."

Han Yili felt somewhat annoyed; he looked at the manager of the First National City Bank, Boda Ren: "Mr. Boda Ren, as the victims, please speak first."

"This one hundred million US dollars was being transported by our First National City Bank to HSBC for the development of banking business. There were four people in total on the armored car: two drivers and two fully armed security guards in the cargo hold."

"The armed security guards have already died, and I hope the police can help us clear the two drivers of suspicion."

"In addition, I hope the police can capture the robbers as soon as possible, because this one hundred million US dollars is in non-sequential bills, and we cannot track it."

As the victim, Boda Ren provided a very detailed introduction.

Han Yili asked about a detail: "Are you sure they are non-sequential?"

"Yes." Boda Ren nodded firmly.

Han Yili's brow furrowed even deeper; he immediately looked at Chief Superintendent of the Anti-Triad Unit Hu Zhuoren and said, "Hu SIR, temporarily stop the surveillance on the societies. From now on, our focus is the Central robbery, and your Anti-Triad Unit personnel must also follow orders from headquarters at any time!"

"YES, SIR!"

Hu Zhuoren and the members of the Anti-Triad Unit replied immediately in a resonant, forceful tone.

Han Yili added, "Starting from now, all Police Constables are to have their leave canceled. That group of robbers is highly likely still in the area between the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. Strive to bring them to justice as soon as possible!"

"YES, SIR!"

All the Superintendents and Commissioner-level high-ranking officials in the room stood up to respond.

……

Reception room.

"A rare guest, truly a rare guest! Brother Zhong, long time no see. I heard you are going to retire; let me congratulate you first." Chen Jiajun personally poured a cup of tea for Chen Guozhong, placed it in front of him, and took out a pack of Marlboros.

Chen Jiajun still had quite a bit of affection for Chen Guozhong; this Senior Inspector of the Anti-Triad Unit did not stick to rigid formalities and knew how to make trade-offs.

"No need for congratulations. The doctor said my condition is already very serious; I have at most a few months left."

Chen Guozhong took the cigarette and said with a calm smile.

Chen Jiajun was slightly stunned; after sitting down, he said, "What did the doctor say? Do you want me to send you abroad for treatment?"

"You have a kind heart, but I am going to Queen Mary Hospital."

Lighting the cigarette, Chen Guozhong smiled bitterly: "A Jun, I know you still have kindness in your heart; that is the reason I have never arrested you all this time."

"Kindness in my heart?"

Chen Jiajun puffed on his Cigar and laughed, "Brother Zhong, thank you for thinking so highly of me."
