Chapter 162

This group of people were professional hardened criminals who made a living by robbing banks and jewelry stores. Before this, they had already committed several major cases, and all of them were on the police's wanted list.

Originally, Chen Yiyuan intended to lie low for a period of time and wait for things to blow over before doing another job.

However, seeing the chaos outside—first Wei Jiacheng's son being kidnapped, then Daxin Bank being robbed—Chen Yiyuan couldn't hold back either. He decided to take advantage of the chaotic situation to pull off a few big jobs, and if successful, he would retire immediately.

Chen Yiyuan took his six subordinates downstairs, where a van was already parked.

"Long, you drive, go to Hongji Bank."

After getting into the car, Chen Yiyuan ordered.

Hongji Bank was a bank they had already scouted; they had made detailed arrangements regarding the bank's internal structure, personnel, and their escape route afterward.

"Good."

Zhang Long agreed and stepped on the gas, speeding away.

Fifteen minutes later.

Hongji Bank.

Chen Yiyuan and the others, holding AKs, rushed into the bank lobby, immediately killed two security guards, took control of the situation, and then ordered the bank manager to open the vault.

Looking at the countless cash inside the vault, Chen Yiyuan and the others were all excited; they immediately put down their travel bags and began stuffing them with bundles of Hong Kong dollars.

Once all the travel bags were full, Chen Yiyuan and the others walked out of the bank entrance swaggeringly with the bags on their backs.

However, just as Chen Yiyuan's group was getting into the car, a tactical van sped over and rammed their van to the side of the road.

"Fuck! Take them out!"

Chen Yiyuan cursed angrily, not expecting the cops to arrive so quickly. He immediately raised his AK and pulled the trigger on the tactical van.

The other subordinates also opened fire simultaneously, and a dense hail of bullets instantly poured out, turning most of the officers inside the tactical van into a sieve.

The remaining people hid behind the seats, unable to lift their heads due to the fierce firepower; it was only because the seats were fitted with steel plates that they could withstand the bullets, otherwise, these people would have been dead long ago.

"Switch cars!"

Seeing that the van wouldn't start, Chen Yiyuan decisively got out, then retreated while firing. Once the distance was sufficient, he pulled out two grenades and threw them into the tactical van.

Boom!

The grenades exploded, and the tactical van was blown to pieces.

Chen Yiyuan, expressionless, walked toward another van not far away.

At this moment, two reinforcement uniformed officers ran out from around the corner.

However, as soon as they arrived, they saw the scene of the tactical van being blown up.

"Calling headquarters! The robbers have fierce firepower, requesting support!"

Seeing this, the uniformed officers didn't dare to step forward.

Then they saw Chen Yiyuan's group walking over, holding AK-47s and covered in gunpowder smoke.

The lead uniformed officer immediately raised his hands and knelt down toward Chen Yiyuan, "Don't kill me..."

Chen Yiyuan glanced at this person and casually shot his police cap off, scaring him into screaming while lying on the ground.

He then turned his muzzle and took care of the other uniformed officer who was drawing his gun, before leaving with his few lackeys.

And this scene was recorded by a camera not far away.

Click! Click!

The owner of the camera kept pressing the shutter, capturing Chen Yiyuan's ferocity and the uniformed officers' cowardice.

That noon.

Ni family manor.

Ni Yongyao turned on the TV, which was playing the midday news.

"Special news report: While our station's reporter was interviewing about a traffic accident in Tai Kok Tsui, they encountered a police-robber shootout, with both sides firing over a hundred rounds.

In the end, the robbers killed several officers and drove away in a van.

Our station's reporter also captured footage of an arriving uniformed officer kneeling and surrendering with a gun pointed at his head by the robbers, which has caused a great public reaction.

Some Legislative Council members are questioning the police's ability to protect citizens; is Hong Kong still safe? If even the police can raise their hands and beg for mercy, then who will guarantee the safety of the citizens?"

The TV report left Hong Kong citizens worried; within such a short time, consecutive shootouts had occurred, and every time the police were suppressed by the robbers, causing citizens to lose confidence.

After watching the news, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Ni Yongyao's mouth.

He didn't expect that he had only started it, and two groups of robbers had immediately popped up, and both bank robberies had been filmed.

It could be said that this had advanced Ni Yongyao's plan quite a bit.

Originally, Ni Yongyao still needed to arrange a few more kidnapping cases or the like to stimulate public opinion, but now that was no longer necessary.

"Yongxiao, contact all the media and put out the advertisements for Black Steel International.

Let everyone in Hong Kong know that if they want to guarantee their property and life safety, they should look for Black Steel International."

Ni Yongyao ordered.

"Yes, Big Brother."

Ni Yongxiao nodded and agreed, then hesitated for a moment and said: "Big Brother, I always feel that this might be too risky? Once something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion."

Ni Yongyao said lightly.

Seeing this, Ni Yongxiao said no more, choosing to trust his big brother, and turned to start contacting the media to discuss advertising matters.

Ni Yongyao took a puff of his cigar and exhaled a dragon of smoke.

In Ni Yongyao's view, Ni Yongxiao's worries simply didn't exist; the personnel who kidnapped Wei Jiacheng's son were all one-star assassins redeemed from the System.

After those eight one-star assassins were caught, they were handed over to the police.

And with the System's constraints, these assassins were absolutely loyal to Ni Yongyao; it was impossible for the police to extract any valuable intelligence from their mouths.

And once they found an opportunity, the eight assassins would commit suicide, completely erasing the clues.

With the launch of Black Steel International's advertisements, it didn't take long for several banks to come knocking, wanting to sign agreements with Black Steel International for them to be responsible for bank security.

The signing of the agreements went extremely smoothly, and soon both sides reached a cooperation.

Black Steel International reached cooperation with seven or eight banks in one go, including Standard Chartered Bank, HSBC, CITIC Bank, and so on.

This was also because of the previous Wei Zekai kidnapping case; after the police retreated in a sorry state, Black Steel International sent only one small team and easily rescued Wei Zekai and captured the robbers, letting many people see the strength of Black Steel International. Although it was a newly established security company, it was definitely not inferior to other long-established security companies.

Of course, these banks were all large banks, with many branches under their banners, some with as many as a hundred, others with a dozen.

For so many branches, not all security was taken over by Black Steel International; only the branches within Tsim Sha Tsui were handed over to Black Steel International.

The remaining branches were still the responsibility of other security companies; after all, agreements had already been signed, and if they were interrupted now, they would have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages.

These banks also wanted to determine the true standard of Black Steel International through this cooperation before deciding whether to expand the scope of cooperation.

Regarding this, Ni Yongyao expressed that it didn't matter; he would soon let these banks understand that only Black Steel International could protect their vaults.

If the robbers weren't up to the task, Ni Yongyao wouldn't mind sending a few subordinates to pose as robbers.

A few days later.

Kowloon Walled City.

Chen Yiyuan and his group were hiding in a safe house, maintaining their respective firearms.

The Kowloon Walled City had complex terrain and was a mix of good and bad people; it could be said to be the most suitable place for all kinds of desperate people, and even the cops wouldn't come in to search.

In the corner of the safe house, there were several travel bags, all filled with Hong Kong dollars.

"Brother Yuan, this time is enough for the brothers to eat well for several years."

Zhang Long said excitedly while wiping the gun chamber.

The other few were the same, all thinking about how to enjoy themselves next.

"Don't be in a hurry; Hong Kong is very chaotic right now. I plan to take advantage of this opportunity to do a few more jobs, make more, and then retire directly to enjoy the second half of my life."

Chen Yiyuan said.

Once these words were spoken, everyone else in the room shut their mouths.

A moment later, Chen Yiyuan said: "What, are you all afraid?"

"Brother Yuan, we aren't afraid, it's just that we already have money, is it necessary to take more risks?"

Peng Zhong said cautiously.

"What's this little bit of money? If we divide it up, everyone won't get much."

Chen Yiyuan snorted and said: "If we don't take advantage of this good opportunity to do a few more jobs, it will be difficult to get more later."

"Think it over yourselves: do you want to fight now for a life of luxury and wealth for the rest of your lives, or take the money and split up, and then spend money carefully in the future?"

Chen Yiyuan's words reached everyone's ears; Zhang Long and the others looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth. ===== CHAPTER 164 =====
