Chapter 367: The Several Great Bandit Kings

The two chatted for a while, and then the cocktail party began.

Huo Yingnan took Chen Jiajun, intending to go directly to meet the person in charge of Cable and Wireless to have a chat.

But just as they entered the main hall, they heard a voice drift over.

"What kind of trash can compete with our Li Family? If you flatter him a bit, does he really think he's the Hong Kong King?"

Hearing this, many people present had their expressions change.

If the person in question were not present, it wouldn't matter how one spouted nonsense.

But today the person in question was present, and they had just happened to run into each other; this kind of thing was simply a face-to-face provocation.

Who else could say such things besides the second son of Li Jiacheng?

Seeing the people around him signaling to him, the second son looked behind him and discovered that Huo Yingnan was leading Chen Jiajun inside; this was fucking awkward.

Huo Yingnan pulled Chen Jiajun along without changing his expression, smiling and continuing to walk toward the other side.

Chen Jiajun also kept his expression as usual, as if he hadn't heard anything.

This allowed everyone to have a way out, especially that second son, whose expression was very ugly; he didn't even attend the cocktail party and stood up to leave directly.

After this guy left, Huo Yingnan said in a low voice: "A Jun, don't act recklessly at this time. It's not worth it for a kid like that."

Huo Yingnan was afraid that Chen Jiajun would lose his temper and do something to that second son of the Li Family, which would then cause displeasure from the Mainland side.

After all, the game hadn't even started yet; what would it look like if our own people started fighting first?

Chen Jiajun sneered and said: "I know. Li Jiacheng isn't that easy to deal with either."

Although he said this, Chen Jiajun was already thinking about how to teach this loose-lipped kid a lesson.

You have to know, Chen Jiajun was never a magnanimous person.

Huo Yingnan took Chen Jiajun to chat with the person in charge of Cable and Wireless.

However, this Gweilo was very shrewd; although he was very enthusiastic, he simply refused to name a price.

He was likely waiting to sell it for a higher price.

After all, there were far more people competing for Hong Kong Telecom than just Chen Jiajun and that second son of the Li Family.

There were also many foreign buyers, such as the Singaporeans.

These England Gweilos didn't care at all whether Hong Kong Telecom would fall into the hands of outsiders; anyway, Hong Kong would soon no longer belong to them, so they definitely wanted to cash out this industry for more value.

After the banquet, Huo Yingnan nodded and said: "A Jun, this matter is not easy to handle."

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Human effort can achieve anything."

"Haha, as long as you have confidence." Huo Yingnan patted Chen Jiajun on the shoulder and said.

After chatting with Huo Yingnan for a while, Chen Jiajun didn't go home but came to the company.

Sitting in front of his office desk, he pondered carefully.

Having been in this era for a long time, Chen Jiajun's memories of before had become somewhat blurred.

However, he vaguely remembered that one of the Li Family's sons had been kidnapped, though he didn't quite remember which one it was.

But these were not important; what was important were the names of a few kidnappers.

Chen Jiajun wrote down several names on a blank sheet of paper, then called over personnel from the Information Department and had them go investigate these Daquan who had crossed the sea to make money.

He intended to give that Li Er Gongzi a profound lesson.

Little did he know, several people on Chen Jiajun's list had already debuted.

For example, this money-making brother, Zhang Shihao.

This guy had followed his old man to Hong Kong in his early years and opened a herbal tea shop in Temple Street.

But being restless by nature, he didn't inherit his old man's herbal tea shop, but instead started hanging out in society early on.

Like a hoodlum like him, ordinary gangs wouldn't take him in, so he could only hang out with the Daquan.

He even relied on his own little bit of cleverness to rise to the position of a small leader.

It's just that the Daquan Gang was very ostracized in Hong Kong.

So he wasted quite a bit of time and was still just a small-time thug.

But by chance, he witnessed a scene of a gold shop being robbed, which immediately gave him ideas.

It just so happened that he had a girlfriend who worked at an escort company, so he immediately told her about this idea.

His girlfriend, Guo Jinfeng, was clearly not a restless person either; upon hearing what Zhang Shihao said, she immediately took it to heart.

Taking advantage of a shift change, she obtained a route map for a batch of goods from the escort company.

After returning home in the evening, Guo Jinfeng proudly displayed the escort map: "The escort time, the vehicle model, the route, the guard configuration, and the firepower equipment are all here."

A look of surprise immediately appeared on Zhang Shihao's face: "How did you get this? That's too amazing."

Guo Jinfeng smiled and said: "Don't ask about that; I naturally have my ways. Let's study this route map first. We have to find the best place to take action."

Zhang Shihao nodded quickly and sat down with Guo Jinfeng to study it carefully.

Guo Jinfeng held the map and said: "Look here. Where will this vehicle finally drive to?"

"The freight station." Zhang Shihao blurted out.

Guo Jinfeng circled the location of the freight station on the map, then looked at Zhang Shihao and said: "Isn't that it?"

This could be called a word that awakens the dreamer.

To rob this batch of goods, there was no need to go to such great lengths; one only needed to control the escort personnel and then drive the vehicle out of the freight station to a remote place.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shihao immediately hugged Guo Jinfeng and kissed her in excitement.

After confirming the plan, Zhang Shihao immediately found his followers.

Since they were hanging out in the Daquan, none of them were good-natured; hearing Zhang Shihao's complete plan, several younger brothers didn't even think about it and directly expressed that they wanted to follow Zhang Shihao.

Zhang Shihao also went all-in, taking out his meager savings to equip his brothers with gear.

However, with their current financial strength, they could only equip each person with a small handgun.

However, this stuff was already enough; after buying the gear, the few of them had Guo Jinfeng get two sets of staff uniforms and snuck into the transport station.

Early the next morning, the truck transporting the goods arrived at the location right on time.

Zhang Shihao had someone block the transport truck's mandatory route with a forklift.

When the driver stuck his head out of the window, Zhang Shihao and the others jumped out and held the driver at gunpoint.

"Don't speak, don't shout. It's best if you obediently cooperate with us, otherwise, I'll kill you with one shot." As the boss, Zhang Shihao immediately took control of the transport truck driver: "Brother, we're all miserable people, there's no need to risk your life for the company for a few hundred bucks, don't you agree?"

The transport truck driver nodded frantically, almost scared to the point of wetting his pants.

The rest of the group opened the cargo container and took control of the two guards inside.

Zhang Shihao asked directly: "What is being transported?"

"I—I don't know, the company wouldn't tell us," the driver said in a panic.

Zhang Shihao was helpless and could only get into the vehicle and have the driver drive it out.

After driving the vehicle to a remote area, Zhang Shihao took his underlings and chased all the guards off the truck.

Now these guards were even more terrified, thinking that Zhang Shihao and the others intended to finish them off.

They kept begging for mercy from Zhang Shihao and the others.

Zhang Shihao smiled and said: "Rest assured, we have no grudges, and I won't lay a hand on you. Just hand over the walkie-talkies, pagers, and such things you have on you."

Hearing Zhang Shihao's words, these guards obediently complied one by one.

Afterward, Zhang Shihao smashed all the confiscated items and punctured the tires of the transport truck.

Only after finishing all this did he have his men move the transport company's packages to another vehicle and drive away.

The reason for doing so many things was also because his woman, Guo Jinfeng, had taught him.

Doing this could greatly reduce the time it would take for the Police to find them.

After driving the vehicle to a hideout they had prepared beforehand, the group moved the goods off the truck.

Although even Guo Jinfeng didn't know what was being transported inside, it was definitely worth a fortune.

Otherwise, the transport company wouldn't have been so careful.

Zhang Shihao and the others opened the bags and took a look, and were immediately blinded by the glittering items before their eyes.

They hadn't expected that these large boxes were filled with Rolex gold watches, piece by piece.

This immediately made the few of them jump for joy, and one by one they picked up a watch and put it on their wrists.

"Wow, it really is a gold watch. This is my first time seeing such high-end stuff."

"Even the high-quality fakes at the Temple Street night market cost two hundred bucks each."

"We're also people who can wear gold watches now."

The underlings were all very happy, but Zhang Shihao said coldly: "Put everything back."

"Ah? Boss, why?" Hearing Zhang Shihao's words, someone immediately became unwilling.

Zhang Shihao said irritably: "Damn it, you dare to wear a watch you robbed? Are you afraid the Police won't be able to track it back to you idiots? What we need to do now is to offload this batch of gold watches as quickly as possible."

Hearing Zhang Shihao's words, the few of them realized what was going on.

Even if they were unwilling, there was nothing wrong with what Zhang Shihao said.

So, one by one, they took off the gold watches and put them back.

Zhang Shihao had his men pack up the gold watches and then went to find someone to fence the stolen goods.

With such a large batch of goods, the small-time thugs at Temple Street definitely couldn't handle it, so Zhang Shihao planned to go to Macau.

He knew a guy who specialized in receiving such stolen goods and never asked where they came from; plus, he could take his girl to Macau for some fun.

So that very day, he contacted Guo Jinfeng to cross the sea together.

On the other side, the people Chen Jiajun wanted to find were quickly located by the Information Department.

"Boss, we haven't found the names of the others, but we have news on these three, and they seem to be active in Hong Kong," the Information Department member said to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun immediately sat up straight and said with a smile: "Oh? Tell me about it."

"Except for Ji Zhengxiong, who is quite good at hiding and is known as the Invisible Thief King, we have news on the other two." The Information Department person took out the photos: "This guy Zhang Shihao is from the Daquan Gang and is currently a small leader within the gang. He usually helps collect some protection fees and only has two or three men under him."

"This Ye Guohuan is a bit interesting; he is currently the most formidable big thief in Hong Kong. In '84, he led his men to carry out consecutive armed robberies on multiple jewelry stores and had a shootout with the Hong Kong Police on the street."

"Although he was later captured by the Hong Kong Police, just last year, while serving his sentence at Stanley Prison, he faked a stomach ache and escaped while on the way to the hospital. His whereabouts are currently unknown."

"However, there are rumors that after this guy laid low for a while, he has the intention of returning to the scene, and I heard he's been recruiting men recently."

Although the information provided by the Information Department differed from Chen Jiajun's memories, it was clear that these three guys were the three great thief kings Chen Jiajun was looking for.

However, since Zhang Shihao, the "Money Brother," is still just a small-time thug, he should be committing consecutive crimes in the next few years, so Chen Jiajun wasn't in a hurry and planned to wait and see first.

"Keep a close watch on these guys, I plan to have them do something for me," Chen Jiajun said indifferently.

The Information Department member said with a puzzled look: "Boss, wouldn't it be fine to just use our own people for the job?"

In terms of loyalty and combat power, these thief kings were indeed not comparable to the demon slave underlings under Chen Jiajun.

But Chen Jiajun didn't plan to use his own people for this matter, so he shook his head and said: "I know, but this matter isn't suitable for our own people. And I don't plan to show my face either."

The Information Department person understood immediately: "Understood, Boss. However, Zhang Shihao recently took his men to Macau, so we'll need help from the brothers over in Macau."

"Macau?" Chen Jiajun paused: "What is this guy doing in Macau?"

"It seems to be to fence the goods," the Information Department person said to Chen Jiajun: "I heard from the brothers in Macau that Zhang Shihao offloaded a batch of gold watches there, and it doesn't look like they came through any legitimate channels."

Chen Jiajun rubbed his chin and said to himself with a playful tone: "Oh? So he's already on the road?"

"Huh? Boss, what are you saying?" the Information Officer asked with a puzzled look.

Chen Jiajun waved his hand and said: "No rush, keep a close watch on them! I have use for all of these people!"

The Information Department person nodded and said: "But who should we win over first?"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "Who has been the unluckiest lately?"

"That would definitely be Ye Guohuan! This guy just escaped from prison and must be planning to pull off a big job," the underling said with a smile.

Chen Jiajun said indifferently, "Then let's go find this guy and have a chat."

The Information Officer nodded and said, "I understand."

At this moment, at a jewelry store in Hong Kong.

A group of masked, burly men burst in.

These guys were not only masked, but they were also carrying weapons, and they were all Ching Yee Sik with AK47s and Shotguns.

Upon seeing these people appear, everyone inside the jewelry store immediately let out a short, sharp scream.

"Shut up, get down! This has nothing to do with you!" the leader of the ruthless robbers roared at the clerk.

The people of Hong Kong were already used to this; they obediently lay down, not daring to move, and no one resisted.

Because the security guard who had resisted earlier had already been riddled with holes by a Shotgun blast.

Then two people were responsible for guarding the door, while the rest of the group moved quickly.

It had to be said that these robbers were well-trained; one look and you could tell they were veterans.

They didn't touch the jewelry in the display cases, but went straight for the gold bars in the safe.

After holding the store manager hostage and forcing them to open the jewelry store's safe, they quickly stuffed the gold bars into their pockets and then fled the scene at high speed.

However, the increasingly rampant robberies in recent years had led to the constant strengthening of the Police's PTU units.

When this group of robbers opened fire and killed the security guard, someone heard it and called the Police.

Subsequently, a large number of Police officers arrived immediately.

"Damn it, how did they get here so fast!" the lead robber cursed angrily, picking up the AK in his hand and firing a volley at the Police.

The powerful firepower of the AK also hit quite a few innocent people.

The remaining robbers also reacted and immediately fired back.

Soon, both sides were locked in a chaotic battle.

The robber gang had powerful firepower in their hands; they had even bought a few grenades.

They threw them directly at the vehicles, immediately creating massive chaos.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a few of them immediately hijacked a taxi and successfully escaped.

A gunfight is not child's play; the robber leader himself was shot in the arm, and several of his brothers nearby were injured to varying degrees.

The most serious one was hit directly in the abdomen and was now bleeding uncontrollably!

After seizing the car, they parked it in a hidden spot and then walked to the basement of an auction house.

When the Boss of the auction house saw this group of people walk in, a look of displeasure immediately appeared on his face.

However, he didn't dare to say much; he could only close the door after letting them in and hang up a "Temporarily Closed" sign.

"Brother Huan, how did you end up in such a state!" the auction house Boss, A Guang, said with considerable helplessness.

The leader of these robbers was none other than Ye Guohuan, the most prominent master thief of recent years.

Ye Guohuan didn't speak, just sat down, let his subordinates help bandage his wound, and watched the news playing on the television.

During today's robbery, he was certain that no one had touched the alarm, yet the Police had still arrived so quickly; this meant the Police had increased their investment in this area, and it also meant that it would become increasingly difficult for them to make a living this way in the future.

A Guang, not knowing if it was sarcasm or some other intent, said to Ye Guohuan, "One man can hold the pass against ten thousand, truly impressive! Brother Huan! But things are looking bad!"

Then, looking at the blood all over the floor, he roared at his underling: "I told you to put down more newspaper, look at this mess all over the floor! Go clean it up! You idiot!"

Although A Guang was yelling at his underling, this also made Ye Guohuan and his group very unhappy.

A Guang didn't care about the looks on their faces; he sat down and began to drive the price down: "It's really very bad! Twenty percent, sorry, twenty percent at most!"

These people were the local bullies of Hong Kong, and it was clear they had this group of helpless robbers cornered.

It was precisely because of this reason that they dared to drive the price down so low.

Ye Guohuan's underling immediately said unhappily, "Ten million in goods, and you're only offering two million! Are you even human!"

"Times are different now, the Police outside are watching very closely!" Then A Guang began to complain about how hard it was to make money lately.

Ye Guohuan glanced at him and then said indifferently, "Do me a favor this time, make it forty percent!"

"Why don't you go find another buyer! I can't even bring myself to buy it, I don't think anyone would dare to take it..." A Guang said with a cunning look.

Having already had a brother injured, Ye Guohuan was already very annoyed; being pressured on the price made him explode, and he slammed the gold bars onto the table and said viciously, "Screw your mother, open the safe!"

A Guang immediately said unhappily, "Are you trying to rob me?"

As he spoke, A Guang's subordinates all stood up.

But don't let their burly appearances fool you; if a real fight broke out, they might not necessarily have the advantage.

So they all looked at their Boss, A Guang.

A Guang was testing Ye Guohuan's attitude; Ye Guohuan lit a cigarette, took a few hard drags, and said, "You don't want to force me to do it myself, do you?"

Facing the overbearing Ye Guohuan, A Guang pulled open the drawer.

Inside were the keys to the safe and a Handgun.

After a moment of silence, A Guang chose to take the keys to open the safe and said coldly, "Thanks a lot, Brother Huan! Don't come looking for me again, let's not work together anymore, let's go our separate ways!"

After finishing, he took the money out of the safe and threw it all onto the table. (End of chapter)
