Chapter 93

Meanwhile.

Deep Water Bay, the Wei family villa.

"Bastards! Didn't you guarantee me that you could definitely rescue Zeju? Where is he now!"

Wei Jiacheng slammed the table and roared.

Standing before Wei Jiacheng were two high-ranking police officers, both wearing expressions of helplessness.

Facing Wei Jiacheng’s reprimand, they could find no excuse to absolve themselves.

After all, they had boasted beforehand, yet the result was dozens of officers beaten back, with the scene even exposed on camera, causing a city-wide uproar.

"Mr. Wei, please calm down..."

A senior superintendent said.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Just then, the telephone rang.

Wei Jiacheng immediately picked up the receiver and said, "Hello?"

"Mr. Wei, originally I only sought money; I would have released your son once I got it.

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! Name your price, I'll give you everything!"

Wei Jiacheng shouted in a panic.

But Storm Shadow had already hung up, and only a busy signal continued to sound in the receiver.

Seeing this, Wei Jiacheng hurriedly dialed the number back, wanting to contact Storm Shadow.

"Mr. Wei, the more it’s like this, the less you can compromise. We understand kidnappers; everything they do is for money..."

The senior superintendent advised.

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

Hearing this, Wei Jiacheng flew into a rage and kicked the two men out.

Wei Jiacheng now deeply regretted notifying the police; otherwise, if he had just obediently paid the ransom at the start, perhaps his son would have already been released.

After driving away the police brass, Wei Jiacheng dialed Storm Shadow’s number over and over, intending to renegotiate terms—as long as Wei Zeju wasn't killed, anything was negotiable.

But no matter how many times Wei Jiacheng dialed, the call never went through.

Time ticked away.

Soon, it was the eve of dawn.

Wei Jiacheng checked his watch; there were only two hours left until the time given by the kidnappers.

Throughout the night, Wei Jiacheng had never stopped; he didn't know how many times he had dialed the number, yet not once did it connect.

At this point, Wei Jiacheng felt despair in his heart.

He had even prepared himself to face Wei Zeju’s corpse.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

However, just then, the telephone rang again.

Wei Jiacheng jolted, picked up the receiver with lightning speed, and said anxiously, "Whatever conditions you have, just name them! As long as I can provide it, I can give it to you!"

"Mr. Wei, I think you have the wrong person."

However, what came through the speaker was not the kidnapper's voice, but a magnetic male voice.

"Who are you?" Wei Jiacheng frowned.

"Let me introduce myself. I am 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 business do you have with me?"

Wei Jiacheng’s tone was devoid of ripples; he had thought it was the kidnapper calling, and the result left him disappointed after his wasted excitement.

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

Ni Yongyao said.

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

Wei Jiacheng sighed.

"Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions. Just because the police can't do it doesn't mean others can't. My men are the top elites in the industry.

Perhaps Mr. Wei could consider it."

Ni Yongyao said.

Listening to these words, especially the intense confidence permeating Ni Yongyao’s tone, Wei Jiacheng couldn't help but waver.

He checked his watch again; the time displayed was getting closer and closer to morning.

Wei Jiacheng gritted his teeth and said, "The kidnappers threatened to kill the hostage in the morning. There is less than two hours left. If you have the confidence to rescue my son, I can commission you."

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

Ni Yongyao said calmly.

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Wei Jiacheng stared at the receiver emitting a busy signal; before he could react, he heard the doorbell ring.

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

"Mr. Wei, nice to meet you."

Ni Yongyao smiled and shook hands with Wei Jiacheng.

Immediately after, Ni Yongyao took out a contract and placed it in front of Wei Jiacheng.

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

Ni Yongyao said.

Wei Jiacheng only then came to his senses, and without caring that Ni Yongyao had come uninvited, he signed his name directly on the contract.

"When can your men rescue my son?"

Wei Jiacheng asked anxiously.

He didn't even have the interest to look at the amount on the contract; this was the only thing he cared about.

"They have already begun their operation."

Ni Yongyao said.

Quanwan.

A dilapidated warehouse at the pier.

A small team quietly approached the location.

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

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

Hong Kong law prohibits private individuals from possessing firearms, and even a security company like Black Steel International could not be an exception.

Although one could apply for a gun license, the procedures were extremely cumbersome, and afterward, one would be subject to strict control, with even every shot fired requiring a report to be submitted, equivalent to being under constant surveillance by others.

Due to various considerations, Ni Yongyao did not apply for gun licenses for Fire Fox and the others.

After all, firing guns in private didn't require a license, and for small-scale engagements like this, it wasn't necessary; with the strength of Fire Fox and Sofia, they were enough to crush 99% of enemies.

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

The three were news personnel from TVB, invited by Ni Yongyao to broadcast the entire operation live.

"Hostage confirmed. Move in."

Fire Fox observed the interior of the warehouse through a crack and said.

Sofia 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 struck the warehouse door with it.

Bang!

The door collapsed in response.

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

"Quick, quick, quick! Follow, follow! This is first-hand news; we absolutely cannot miss it!"

Seeing this, the three from TVB hurriedly rushed over as well, risking their lives for the sake of their performance.
