Chapter 540

Boom~~~~

Fire soared into the sky.

The bomb on the black Chevrolet's body finally exploded...

The black Chevrolet's glass absorbed a large amount of the explosion's power, cracking inch by inch, but in the end, it held up and didn't break.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu: "…………"

If I had known you were this tough... forget it, I would still get out of the car, because I need to vent too!

Xu Zhengyang was checking the status of each assassin, finishing off those who weren't dead with a shot to avoid any last-ditch counterattacks.

As he checked, he was shocked.

It really was a headshot every time, with only one extra shot.

Xi Gui came out from cover; he had just wanted to fight for his life, only to be kicked into cover by Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu. Then he watched Brother Zu slaughter everyone, his eyes burning with fervor.

Brother Zu, awesome!

And at this time, Abu came running from afar, followed by Gao Jin, Xiao Fu, Gong Wei, and others.

"Brother Zu!"

"Brother Zu!"

Looking at the blood on the scene, the black Chevrolet with its cracked glass, and the corpses one by one...

While relieved, they were also incredibly angry.

So insidious!

They thought two groups of mercenaries were enough.

But there was a third wave of assassins!

Fortunately, Brother Zu was tough enough; looking at Brother Zu's suit, it was spotless, without even a wrinkle, clearly not posing much danger to Brother Zu.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at Qiu Gangao who had rushed over: "I'll leave the cleanup here to you..."

Qiu Gangao nodded: "Okay, the Flying Tigers have already arrived; let them take you back, Brother Zu."

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu nodded: "Good."

Soon,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu got into the black Chevrolet; although the glass was cracked, its safety was still higher than other cars.

Other Five-Star Group people also drove other cars,

Then the Flying Tigers' transport vehicle arrived, and following the orders of their superior Huang Bingyao, they escorted Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the others away.

As for the two battle scenes, they were left for the police force to clean up.

Police force: "…………"

……

……

Shangri-La Hotel, in that extremely luxurious presidential suite.

Taikoo manager Edward was sitting leisurely on a leather sofa, shaking a glass of expensive red wine in his hand. The faint light refracted by the crystal glass complemented the smile on his face.

He was waiting for good news.

He didn't believe that 7 international assassins couldn't kill those three people, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu included.

Ring-ring-ring~~~~

Just then, the satellite phone rang.

It broke the silence.

"Manager!"

The bodyguard on the other end of the phone had a heavy voice.

Edward suddenly had a bad premonition.

"How's the situation?"

"Failed..."

The expression on Edward's face froze instantly, and the wine glass in his hand shook violently, a few drops of red wine splashing onto the expensive light yellow carpet, like a shocking bloodstain.

He stood up abruptly,

"Why did it fail? How is this possible!"

Edward's eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

"Was Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu injured?"

"No."

"Not even injured?"

"No."

Edward: "…………"

After a brief moment of astonishment came anger.

"A bunch of trash!"

"Good-for-nothings!"

Edward was so angry he smashed the wine glass in his hand against the wall. With a loud "clatter," the crystal glass shattered instantly, and the wine flowed slowly down the wall.

Then he paced back and forth irritably.

"Are those assassins all trash?"

"Didn't they say they were international assassins? They couldn't even kill three people?!"

He kept cursing in his mouth.

For this operation against Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, he had invested a huge amount of resources and energy, and even added a trump card. He thought victory was in his grasp, but he didn't expect it to fail. How could he not be burning with rage?

"What about those assassins now?"

"They're all dead."

"I..."

Edward didn't know what to say.

After all, he was experienced in the business world. After his anger subsided slightly, he quickly calmed down, a deep sense of vigilance appearing in his eyes.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was completely fine.

That meant he would be the one in trouble next.

Edward began to pace back and forth in the room, his steps hurried and heavy, his brain running at high speed.

"Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's influence and strength are far beyond imagination."

"After this failure, he will definitely take action next, targeting me!"

Thinking of this, Edward felt a chill down his spine.

At this moment, he regretted not going straight to the airport and returning to the UK.

He only had 4 bodyguards with him now, which clearly wasn't enough.

Without a word, he called Peng Lizhi directly.

20 minutes later,

Peng Lizhi came from the Taikoo Group building next door to the hotel's presidential suite.

"Manager!"

Peng Lizhi knocked and entered.

Peng Lizhi found Manager Edward with his brows tightly locked, pacing back and forth in the spacious room, looking anxious.

"Henry, you used to be the Financial Secretary; you should have quite a few connections in the police force. I need you to help me contact the police and send officers to protect me!"

As long as the police were there, he didn't believe Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu would kill police officers directly.

"???"

"Mr. Manager, what happened?" Peng Lizhi didn't know what had happened; he had been working at the Taikoo Group all day.

Edward grabbed Peng Lizhi's shoulder: "Henry, just tell me if you can help me."

Peng Lizhi shook his head and said: "Manager, applying for protection requires a reason. The police force can't protect you for private matters... unless you have a reason."

Edward: "I suspect Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu will kill me!"

Peng Lizhi: "Why?"

Edward: "Today, a group of people tried to assassinate Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu... I'm afraid Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu will think I did it."

Peng Lizhi was shocked: "Manager, did you send people to assassinate Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu?"

Although he had guessed Edward would take action, he didn't expect it to have actually happened.

Edward: "No, I didn't do it."

Peng Lizhi was speechless; at a time like this, you're still hiding it?

Edward: "Henry, that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, he could kill his way over at any time!"

Peng Lizhi was loyal and righteous: "I will call the police force... but it's unlikely... and you should also know that many in the police force are Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's people."

"This..."

Edward hesitated. He was also worried about this; with Peng Lizhi saying that, he was even more worried.

Peng Lizhi said seriously: "Manager, we can't panic. The top priority is to strengthen the hotel's security measures. I'll contact the hotel security supervisor right now, have them send more people to guard every entrance and exit, and strengthen patrols."

Edward shook his head: "That probably won't work. If Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wants to kill me, what can these security guards do? We need to find some more professional people. Do you have any local connections? Find a few capable private bodyguards; money is no object, be quick!"

"I'll call the UK and have them send people over urgently... we only need to hold out for a few days."

Looking back at the whole thing,

The biggest problem was Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's car.

What bulletproof car? A few bomb blasts and it should be finished.

As long as the car broke, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu would be dead under the bombs and concentrated fire.

99% win rate!

How could he lose!

But the car actually withstood the bombs.

And that Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu wasn't a weakling! He even killed 6 people!

It was precisely these two factors that led to the failure of the entire operation!

!

Edward regretted it immensely.

But there was no regret medicine in this world.

"Okay, Manager." Peng Lizhi said loyally, "But I suggest we evacuate immediately. If Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu really kills his way over, although this place is luxurious, it could become a death trap that traps us."

Edward: "…………"

Being told that by Peng Lizhi, he was even more afraid.

Edward: "Then what should we do?"

Peng Lizhi: "Go to the airport immediately!"

Inside, he thought: As long as you leave the building and get in a car to the airport, then on the road... hehehe~~~~

Once you die, my loyalty to the Taikoo Group will increase again.

Edward hesitated at this moment.

Stay at the hotel?

Go to the airport?

"Wait... you help me find bodyguards first..."

"Manager, it's 4 PM now; there are only 2 hours left until dark! Once it's night, this hotel will be even more dangerous!"

"…………"

Edward thought for a moment, and suddenly a flash of inspiration hit him: "You go to the police force immediately; you don't need them to protect me all the time, just escort me to the airport!"

It had to be said, this idea of his was truly a stroke of genius!

Peng Lizhi sighed inwardly; this was perhaps Edward's best way to escape.

"Okay! I'll contact the police force immediately!"

"Go, be quick!"

Peng Lizhi turned around, not having walked many steps...

"Henry!"

"Manager?"

Edward looked at Peng Lizhi, thinking about how during this time, Peng Lizhi had actively cooperated with him in managing the Taikoo Group without complaint, and his ability to handle things was quite good.

He sighed: "You... are not bad!"

Peng Lizhi said solemnly: "After the Financial Secretary, the Taikoo Group recruited me; the Taikoo Group has been very good to me, so naturally I must repay the Taikoo Group's heavy trust!"

Edward smiled happily.

"Sorry to trouble you!"

"Yes! I'll go arrange it immediately!"

Peng Lizhi left quickly.

Edward took a deep breath and looked at the city filled with buildings. At this moment, he felt that crises were hidden everywhere, and the unease in his heart grew stronger.

He had to leave as soon as possible!

What he didn't know was that as soon as Peng Lizhi returned to the Taikoo Group office, he made a phone call, leaking his escape plan.

Manager, I am a very loyal official!

……

……

As the West Kowloon police force cleaned up... no, that's not right, as they tidied up the two battlefields in Ma Tau Wai.

The news spread wildly throughout the entire police force.

Such a crazy thing hadn't happened in decades.

Soon,

The news reached Police Headquarters.

Police Headquarters was in an uproar.

……

Police Headquarters,

Commissioner's office.

The British flag and the police force flag hung quietly on the wall.

Commissioner Michael, after hearing his subordinate's report, was shocked and furious.

"Bastard!"

"Call Huang Bingyao here immediately!"

Soon,

Huang Bingyao walked into the office. He held his head high and stuck out his chest; even though he sensed the tense atmosphere in the room, his steps remained steady, and the corners of his mouth were still slightly curled.

"Commissioner!"

"What's the matter, calling me here?"

"Slap!" Michael slammed the document in his hand onto the table; the loud sound echoed in the quiet room.

"Huang Bingyao, what exactly are you up to?" he roared loudly, "Why didn't you notify me about such a big thing?"

Huang Bingyao looked solemn, "Commissioner, if you're talking about the shootout that just happened in Ma Tau Wai, my explanation is—the situation was extremely urgent at the time, and there was simply no time to report to you."

"Those mercenaries were aggressive and ruthless," Huang Bingyao continued, "If we hadn't taken action in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"There are many residents in the Ma Tau Wai area; once the mercenaries' conspiracy succeeded, innocent citizens would have suffered heavy casualties," Huang Bingyao said seriously, "As the person in charge of the Operations Department, it was my duty, and I had to make a prompt decision."

Michael was so angry his face turned red, his finger pointing straight at Huang Bingyao's nose.

"Urgent situation? How come I heard that a dozen of your police officers also participated? Is that also urgent? And, aren't the guns Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and his people used arranged by you?"

He questioned Huang Bingyao angrily, "Do you still have me, the Commissioner, in your eyes? Is there no superior command system?"

Huang Bingyao said seriously: "Sorry, Commissioner, this matter is of great importance, and I was afraid the news would leak."

Commissioner Michael was even more furious when he heard this: "News leak? Do you mean I would leak the news?"

Huang Bingyao shrugged: "I didn't say it was you; don't be so quick to claim it."

This attitude,

Was clearly very disrespectful to Michael, the Commissioner.

"What kind of attitude is that?"

Huang Bingyao picked his ear; back in the day, he was also that kind of rebellious person who didn't bow to heaven or earth.

"Commissioner... some things don't need me to explain too clearly to you, right?"

"Can't you see, this matter, can't you see who is competing with whom?"

Michael frowned: "What do you mean?"

Huang Bingyao: "Who sent the mercenaries?"

Michael: "Who?"

Huang Bingyao: "It's the Taikoo Group."

Michael frowned.

Huang Bingyao spread his hands: "Look, you didn't even realize this point, which shows your level isn't high enough, Commissioner?"

Michael: "…………"

Damn it, my level isn't high enough!

I am the Commissioner!
