Chapter 423: You're just a Customs assistant, are you the boss of everything!

Having received the signal, Su Xingbai did not dawdle; he led his subordinate Baodeng and charged straight toward Huo Qingsong.

After all, a show must be performed in its entirety; how could he gain the other party's trust without putting on a convincing act? Huo Qingsong had not expected the Gweilo to be so insidious, nor had he anticipated that people from Yee Fung would come by sea to launch a surprise attack on them.

In an instant, his men were caught in a pincer attack, and their defensive line was crumbling.

"Qingsong, there are people attacking us from behind!" Cheng Shu shot and killed a Customs Gweilo who had rushed up, then shouted to Huo Qingsong, "San Shu's side can't hold on much longer!"

Huo Qingsong was greatly alarmed upon hearing this and immediately said, "Retreat, retreat into the villa! Tell San Shu to come over if he can't hold on."

Cheng Shu nodded, lowered his body, and moved rapidly toward San Shu's position.

Hearing the shouting between the two, Alfred felt a surge of certainty and immediately signaled his men to take Huo Qingsong in one go.

The firefight between the two sides was extremely brutal; they were almost all using desperate, life-or-death tactics.

Alfred was under immense pressure; if he failed to take down Huo Qingsong, he would not only lose his political future for the rest of his life, but he might even be targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

By then, let alone continuing to rake in money, even the money he had already pocketed would not be secure. Most importantly, no one would stand up for him.

Therefore, even a Gweilo has times when he must fight with his back to the wall.

On the other side of the battlefield, San Shu's men could be said to retreat at the slightest touch.

Su Xingbai was not in a hurry; he grabbed Baodeng and said, "Don't rush. We are here to provide support, don't charge so fiercely! Let them do the dying!"

Baodeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Su Xingbai was slacking off openly, and no one else could say anything about it.

By the time he led his men near the villa, Alfred had already charged once.

However, he had been beaten back in a sorry state.

Huo Qingsong's men had not yet been routed, and given the complex environment inside the villa, it was not surprising that they had been pushed back out.

However, Alfred vented his anger on Su Xingbai: "You damn things, you actually dared to scheme against me!"

Su Xingbai did not indulge him; he poked his chest with a finger and said, "Scheme against you for what? Don't forget, we are here to assist you. Do you know what 'assist' means? You idiot!"

"You..." Alfred clenched his fists, wanting to resort to violence.

Su Xingbai gave a cold, sinister laugh and said, "If you dare to touch me today, believe it or not, I'll team up with Huo Qingsong and leave you here!"

Having suffered a silent loss at Su Xingbai's hands, Alfred shut his mouth.

However, his mind was busy thinking about settling the score with Su Xingbai after taking down Huo Qingsong.

Seeing Huo Qingsong cowering in the villa and not showing his head, Alfred had no good solution for now.

He took a deep breath and said to his men, "Drive the car over and bring that thing here!"

His subordinate nodded, drove the car in, and opened the trunk.

Inside were crates, and upon opening them, they were revealed to be nothing but Ching Yee Sik RPG-7s, those weapons of mass destruction.

Seeing this, even Su Xingbai could not help but be stunned for a moment.

Inside the villa at this time, Huo Qingsong's family and core Executives were all wounded, but they had simply bandaged themselves up and were leading their men in a counterattack.

Cheng Shu looked at Huo Qingsong's wounded arm and said, "We can't hold on. Let's retreat according to the plan! Anyway, as long as he can't kill us, we win!"

Looking at his disheveled men, Huo Qingsong took a deep breath and said, "Hold on for five more minutes! After five minutes, no matter the situation, retreat through the villa's underground passage! Send the wounded brothers over first!"

Cheng Shu nodded and immediately arranged for his men to carry out the task.

After repelling another batch of gunmen, the enemy's offensive suddenly stopped.

This left Huo Qingsong somewhat confused; logically speaking, in such matters, one should strike while the iron is hot, lest the momentum wane and eventually vanish.

If they dragged it out like this, wouldn't Alfred's men exhaust their momentum first? He couldn't figure out why the other side would make such a mistake.

But soon, Huo Qingsong heard a short "bang" sound from outside.

Then he saw a warhead smash fiercely into the villa's screen wall.

In an instant, a dazzling fire flared up, swallowing several of his men.

Huo Qingsong was immediately alarmed: "RPG, retreat quickly!"

Hearing Huo Qingsong's voice, no one dared to hesitate and hurriedly retreated toward the location of the underground passage.

Then, a series of the same short sounds rang out, followed by the constant heat waves of explosions from behind.

Huo Qingsong was the last one to enter the underground passage, having been knocked in by the blast wave and flames.

After falling to the ground, he simply lost consciousness.

Fortunately, the underground passage Huo Qingsong had built was very sturdy; even in the face of such heavy bombardment, it did not collapse.

The others did not dare to delay and hurriedly carried Huo Qingsong to retreat toward the other side of the passage.

Although they evacuated in time, the Huo Family's losses were extremely heavy.

Aside from a few key members and the wounded men, they were almost completely wiped out. This was the foundation Huo Qingsong had spent a great price to cultivate.

However, they could not worry about that now, because Huo Qingsong had clearly suffered significant injuries.

Even his breathing had become faint.

Just as they were preparing to leave with Huo Qingsong, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly approached.

Then, a dozen or so people surrounded them.

At this, Cheng Shu, San Shu, and the others fell into despair.

These people were already a group of remnants, and with their leader unconscious, they had no room left to resist.

But when they saw who had arrived, they were still shocked.

"Su Xingbai, you traitorous dog who bites the hand that feeds you! You will definitely die a horrible death!" Cheng Shu began to curse loudly.

Su Xingbai was so amused by this guy that he laughed; he punched Cheng Shu, sending him flying, and then shouted to the others, "Why aren't you taking your boss and leaving? Waiting here to eat shit? A bunch of losers, if I hadn't come, you'd be dead already. Get out of here and take Huo Qingsong to the hospital!"

"You... you aren't killing us? Why?" San Shu looked at Su Xingbai in astonishment.

Su Xingbai glanced behind him and said, "If you don't leave, you won't be able to. Do you expect the Gweilo to give you a quick death later?"

Hearing this, San Shu dared not delay; he immediately helped Cheng Shu up, took his men, jumped into the car, and began to flee frantically.

Su Xingbai waved his hand and said to Baodeng, "Fire a few shots, create some atmosphere!"

Baodeng immediately chuckled, then took his underlings and fired blank shots in the direction where Huo Qingsong and the others had left.

The sound of the blank shots quickly lured Alfred over.

This guy's eyes were red, and he charged at Su Xingbai viciously, saying, "Where is Huo Qingsong?"

"He ran away," Su Xingbai said, spreading his hands.

"Fuck you, why the hell didn't you stop him, you damn..." Alfred immediately began to curse loudly.

Su Xingbai had already been putting up with this Gweilo for a long time; at this moment, he took the gun directly from Baodeng's hand and smashed the butt of the gun hard against the head of the Gweilo, Alfred.

It immediately caused blood to stream down his face, and he began to scream in agony.

When he wanted to fight back, the muzzle of the gun in Su Xingbai's hand pressed directly against his chin, and he said coldly, "Go ahead! See if I dare to blow your brains out!"

Seeing their superior being held hostage, his subordinates wanted to make a move, but they didn't expect Baodeng to be a step faster, pulling out his gun and aiming it at them.

"Su Xingbai, what do you want?" Alfred said, his voice fierce but his spirit weak, facing Su Xingbai's icy gaze.

Su Xingbai raised his hand and gave him a slap, then said coldly, "I want to tell you that I am not your subordinate. If you keep nagging at me, believe it or not, I'll finish off your whole family? Do you think you're all that just because you're an Assistant Inspector of Customs!"

Facing such humiliation, Alfred's face turned bright red.

Once upon a time, Westerners like him could act recklessly in Hong Kong; when had he ever been humiliated like this? Unfortunately, the times had changed.

Su Xingbai released the muzzle, and Alfred could only leave with his men, seething with anger.

Watching the guy's back, Su Xingbai sneered in disdain, then took out his phone and dialed Chen Jiajun's number: "Boss, the matter is settled, but these Gweilos used an RPG. Huo Qingsong only has half a life left and is currently being sent to the hospital."

……

"Alright, I know!"

Chen Jiajun nodded, then hung up the phone.

Although there were some small twists and turns, the situation was generally developing as Chen Jiajun had anticipated.

As long as Huo Qingsong didn't die, then things would be easy to handle.

The reason Chen Jiajun didn't send Laoyu and the others to take action this time but instead contacted Su Xingbai was because Laoyu and the others had more important tasks.

The Ether Society, which hadn't been active for a long time, had made a move again; this was a good opportunity for Chen Jiajun to catch their tail.

As for Huo Qingsong, if he had bad luck and died, he couldn't blame anyone else.

After all, he had told Huo Qingsong before that this was gambling with his life!

But since the bet was won now, Chen Jiajun wouldn't let him kick the bucket so easily.

After asking clearly where Huo Qingsong was, he headed straight to the hospital.

Seeing Chen Jiajun arrive in person, the people of the Huo Family stepped forward one after another to greet him.

"Well done! Where is Huo Qingsong?" Chen Jiajun didn't care about the sycophancy of these small characters and asked directly.

"He is in the emergency room! The doctor said perhaps he... won't last much longer." Cheng Shu's eyes rolled, and he said to Chen Jiajun, "I wonder if the conditions you previously discussed with Qingsong are still effective?"

Seeing these guys' undisguised attempt to seize power, Chen Jiajun sneered in disdain: "Do you really think I have my eyes on your tiny Huo Family? If it weren't for the fact that Huo Qingsong has some kinship with Huo Xiansheng, would this matter have come to your turn?"

Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the light of hope in the eyes of the few people immediately dimmed.

Indeed, there were plenty of people who wanted to be a gun for Chen Jiajun; who were they to think they were anything! (End of chapter)
