Chapter 158

Meanwhile.

Repulse Bay, Li family villa.

"Bastards! Didn't you guarantee me that you would definitely save Victor! Where is he now!"

Li Ka-shing slapped the table and roared angrily.

In front of Li Ka-shing were two senior police officers, both with helpless expressions.

Facing Li Ka-shing's reprimand, they couldn't find any excuses to defend themselves.

After all, the big talk had been spoken beforehand, but the result was dozens of police officers being beaten back, and the scene footage was exposed, causing a storm throughout the city.

"Mr. Li, please calm down first..."

A senior superintendent said.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Just then, the phone rang.

Li Ka-shing immediately picked up the receiver and said: "Hello?"

"Mr. Li, originally I was just seeking money; once I got the money, I would have released your son.

But you insisted on calling the police to catch us, so I'm sorry. Tomorrow morning, you will receive your son's corpse."

Storm Shadow's voice rang out.

"Don't kill my son! Tell me how much money, I'll give you all of it!"

Li Ka-shing shouted hurriedly.

But Storm Shadow had already hung up the phone, and only the busy signal kept ringing in the receiver.

Seeing this, Li Ka-shing hurriedly dialed the number back, wanting to contact Storm Shadow.

"Mr. Li, the more it's like this, the more you can't compromise. We understand kidnappers; everything they do is for money..."

The senior superintendent advised.

"Get out! What is money? As long as I can exchange it for my son, any amount of money is fine! If I had known, I shouldn't have trusted you!"

Hearing this, Li Ka-shing was instantly enraged and directly drove the two of them out.

Now Li Ka-shing deeply regretted notifying the police; otherwise, if he had obediently paid the ransom at the very beginning, perhaps his son would have already been released.

After driving away the senior police officers, Li Ka-shing dialed Storm Shadow's number over and over again, intending to renegotiate the terms; as long as Victor Li wasn't killed, anything was fine.

But no matter how many times Li Ka-shing dialed, the phone was never answered.

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon it was the eve of dawn.

Li Ka-shing looked at his watch; there were only two hours left until the time given by the kidnappers.

Throughout the night, Li Ka-shing had never stopped, not knowing how many times he had dialed the number, but not once had it connected.

At this point, Li Ka-shing was already in despair.

He was even prepared to face Victor Li's corpse.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

However, just then, the phone rang again.

Li Ka-shing jumped, picked up the receiver at the fastest speed, and said anxiously: "Whatever conditions you want, just name them! As long as I can come up with it, I can give it to you!"

"Mr. Li, I think you've got the wrong person."

However, what came out of the speaker wasn't the kidnapper's voice, but a magnetic male voice.

"Who are you?" Li Ka-shing frowned.

"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ni Yongyao, Chairman of Black Steel International Strategic Defense Company."

Ni Yongyao said.

"I've heard of you. You just opened a casino not long ago. What do you want with me?"

Li Ka-shing's tone had no ripples; he had thought it was the kidnappers calling, and the result left him disappointed.

"I've heard about Mr. Li's trouble. It just so happens that Black Steel International is a security company, and I can provide Mr. Li with customized security services."

Ni Yongyao said.

"My son is currently in the hands of kidnappers, and dozens of police officers can't save him. What can your company's services do?"

Li Ka-shing sighed.

"Don't be in such a hurry to draw conclusions. Just because the police can't do it doesn't mean others can't. My people are the top elites in the industry.

Perhaps Mr. Li can consider it."

Ni Yongyao said.

Li Ka-shing listened to these words, especially the strong confidence permeating Ni Yongyao's words, and couldn't help but waver.

He looked at his watch again; the time shown was getting closer and closer to morning.

Li Ka-shing gritted his teeth and said: "The kidnappers threatened to kill the hostage in the morning. There are less than two hours left now. If you have the confidence to save my son, I can entrust you with the mission."

"Two hours is enough. Mr. Li, choosing Black Steel International is your most correct decision."

Ni Yongyao said calmly.

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Li Ka-shing looked at the receiver with the busy signal, not yet having reacted, when he heard the doorbell ring.

The nanny opened the front door, and then Ni Yongyao, dressed in a crisp suit, walked in.

"Mr. Li, nice to meet you."

Ni Yongyao smiled and shook hands with Li Ka-shing.

Immediately after, Ni Yongyao took out a contract and placed it in front of Li Ka-shing.

"This is Black Steel International's security agreement. Sign it, and my people will act immediately."

Ni Yongyao said.

Li Ka-shing finally came to his senses, and without caring that Ni Yongyao had come uninvited, he signed his name directly on the contract.

"When can your people save my son?"

Li Ka-shing asked anxiously.

He wasn't even interested in looking at the amount on the contract; the only thing he cared about was this point.

"They have already started acting."

Ni Yongyao said.

Tsuen Wan.

A dilapidated warehouse at the pier.

A squad quietly approached here.

Walking at the very front were Fox and Sophia, followed by ten two-star assassins.

None of them carried firearms, but instead carried bows and arrows and daggers.

Hong Kong law prohibits private individuals from possessing firearms; even security companies like Black Steel International are no exception.

Although one can apply for a gun license, the procedures are extremely cumbersome, and afterward, they would be subject to strict control, with even every shot fired requiring a report to be submitted, which is equivalent to always being under the supervision of others.

Out of various considerations, Ni Yongyao didn't apply for gun licenses for Fox and the others.

After all, firing guns in private doesn't require a license, and small-scale engagements like this don't make it necessary; with Fox and Sophia's strength, they are enough to crush ninety-nine percent of enemies.

Behind Fox and the others, there were three more people: two cameramen carrying cameras and one host.

The three were all news personnel from TVB, invited by Ni Yongyao to broadcast this operation live from start to finish.

"Hostage confirmed, move."

Fox observed the interior of the warehouse through a gap and said.

Sophia nodded and made a gesture to the two-star assassins behind her.

A two-star assassin took down the battering ram he was carrying and hit the warehouse door with it.

Clang!

The door fell at the sound.

Fox and the others broke in and immediately engaged in a fierce firefight with the people inside.

"Quick, quick, quick! Follow, follow! This is first-hand news, absolutely can't miss it!"

Seeing this, the three from TVB hurriedly rushed over, fighting for their performance.
