Chapter 541

Michael clenched his fists tightly.

After a while, he loosened his fists and glared at Huang Bingyao again.

Huang Bingyao said helplessly: "I already said, this is a contest between the Taikoo Group and the Five-Star Group... I didn't dare tell you because I was afraid you'd cause trouble, and how would we end it then?"

"Mercenaries even came out."

"Clearly, both sides are fighting to the death."

"Commissioner, you don't want to spend the rest of your life lying in a hospital bed like Commissioner Ryan, do you?"

Michael: "…………"

But he had to admit in his heart that Huang Bingyao's explanation wasn't without reason.

Thinking back, he had even gone to the hospital to visit Ryan last time.

Huang Bingyao continued: "Also, do you think it's just a contest between the Taikoo Group and the Five-Star Group?"

Huang Bingyao pointed to the sky.

"Actually, it's a contest from even higher up."

"Do you believe that in the end, the Governor won't say anything about this, just say a few painless words?"

With Huang Bingyao saying that,

Michael began to calm down and think.

Recently, the Five-Star Group had been rubbing the Taikoo Group into the ground; the Taikoo Group's stocks, shopping malls, retail, etc., had all suffered heavy losses.

And some time ago, Guan Zu had even gone to the capital in the East and held a meeting.

Thinking about it this way...

Michael completely sobered up.

He, the Commissioner of the police force, was indeed... cough cough, not quite up to the task.

Michael looked at Huang Bingyao's smug look, and his sober head suddenly got angry.

"What kind of attitude is that?"

"Huh?"

"Do you really think that because you're close to the Five-Star Group, you can do whatever you want?"

Huang Bingyao put his hands on his hips: "That's right, I can do whatever I want!"

Michael: "…………"

Hey, you're even proud of it.

Michael couldn't do anything about Huang Bingyao, so what could he do?

He could only forgive him!

Michael's attitude softened.

"Then at least show me some respect!"

"I am the Commissioner!"

Huang Bingyao nodded repeatedly: "Ah, yes, yes, yes, you are the Commissioner... Commissioner, I'm sorry, I didn't notify you."

Michael: "…………"

It always felt a bit sarcastic.

"Alright, you can go!"

Michael waved his hand impatiently.

Huang Bingyao waved his hand, walked with a swaggering gait, and turned to leave.

Silence fell in the office.

At this moment, it felt like the Union Jack hanging in the office was bowing its head a little.

Just then...

Ring-ring-ring~~~~

The office phone rang.

Michael: "Hello..."

Peng Lizhi: "Hello, I am Taikoo Group Director Peng Lizhi..."

Michael said hurriedly: "It's Mr. Henry, what's the matter? Is something wrong?"

Peng Lizhi: "It's like this, our Manager Mr. Edward would like to ask your police force..."

He explained the matter.

When Michael heard this, he was unhappy.

You still have the nerve to ask the police force to protect you?

Weren't you very arrogant? Calling mercenaries over? What's wrong now? Asking the police force to protect you?

Go eat shit!

Michael had just been mocked by Huang Bingyao; although he was angry, he was also pointed in the right direction.

He knew this was a game between big shots; why would someone like him get involved?

Was he looking for death?

"Sorry, the police force can't make decisions on this matter without authorization!"

"Isn't your Taikoo Group powerful enough to reach the heavens? Please go find the Governor and have him give us an order."

Peng Lizhi: "Okay."

He hung up the phone decisively.

Michael: "???"

Listening to the "beep-beep-beep" sound on the other end of the phone, he was stunned for a moment. What the hell?

……

On this side,

After Peng Lizhi hung up, he called Manager Edward.

"Manager!"

"I'm very sorry, I messed things up."

"I called the police Commissioner Michael, but he scolded me on the phone and said that the Taikoo Group sending mercenaries to Hong Kong to cause trouble was a provocation to the police force. He also said you..."

"I what?"

"You're a dogshit!"

Edward was instantly furious.

Peng Lizhi: "Manager, it's clear that the police force is now on the side of that Guan Zu. If you want to get an escort from the police force, I think there's only one way: find the Governor and have him give the order."

Edward thought for a moment: "That's the only way now."

He looked at the time; it was already 16:30, 2 hours until dark.

After Edward hung up,

He dialed the Governor's number.

……

……

At this time,

Governor's House, study.

The news arrived late.

Secretary Kane reported the whole process to him.

"After 15:00, Guan Zu arrived in Ma Tau Wai, Kowloon, in his car, and then was attacked by mercenaries."

"There were rifle grenades, bombs, grenades..."

"They were all blocked by Guan Zu's car, and then Guan Zu escaped the scene in the car."

"Subsequently, Guan Zu's bodyguards and seven or eight people from the police force besieged those mercenaries together. After more than 4 minutes of fierce fighting, all 16 mercenaries were killed. And on Guan Zu's side, it's said there were no casualties."

Fat Peng: "…………"

16 mercenaries!

They aren't 16 pigs!

Ridiculous!

"More importantly, 7 foreign assassins appeared later, taking advantage of the fact that Guan Zu only had bodyguards and a driver with him, and launched a surprise attack."

"In the end, all 7 assassins died."

"Guan Zu's side is completely fine... there's a piece of news that Guan Zu killed 6 of the assassins, but I don't know if it's true."

Fat Peng: "…………"

Isn't he too fierce?

16 mercenaries plus 7 assassins, and they couldn't kill him?

And with 0 casualties?

He couldn't help but feel a wave of relief.

Fortunately, he hadn't sent anyone to take action, otherwise, it would be him facing Guan Zu's retaliation.

Subsequently, Fat Peng couldn't help but frown again.

He tapped his fingers on the table.

"This Guan Zu is really hard to kill...!"

"Which means, the last step of our parasitism plan, killing Guan Zu and replacing him, might be quite difficult to complete."

Although he had received a benefit from Guan Zu once, Fat Peng wanted power, money, and to occupy the Five-Star Group even more...

The plan to kill Guan Zu had never changed.

Kane nodded: "Yes."

Kane also felt a bit worried about this point.

Lena comforted him from the side: "Boss, I don't think we need to worry. No matter what, this Guan Zu is just a lone wolf, just a boss... Our British Empire has ace agents, and the legendary 007; if it really doesn't work, we can invite these two departments. I don't believe we can't handle him."

Fat Peng nodded: "Hmm..."

Ring-ring-ring~~~

The phone rang.

Fat Peng answered: "Hello..."

Edward: "Governor, I am Taikoo Group's Edward Swire..."

Fat Peng: "Oh~~ Mr. Edward, I've heard so much about you~~"

Both sides exchanged pleasantries for a few minutes, during which Edward flattered Fat Peng. Fat Peng curled his lip while dealing with him.

After talking for a few minutes, Edward finally stated his request.

"You want to ask the police force to protect you? To Kai Tak Airport?"

"Yes, yes."

"Heh~~~"

Fat Peng sneered; you didn't come to me when you sent mercenaries to Hong Kong to kill people, but now that you're in trouble, you come to me.

What do you take me for?

Also, you're not giving any money; this is very hard to handle!

"Sorry, I can't agree to this request."

"Why?"

Fat Peng hung up the phone directly.

!

Then he took a piece of British apple cut on the table and put two pieces in his mouth.

Then he dialed Edward's number again.

"Hello, Edward..."

His voice had changed.

"Who are you?"

"Back to the previous question... I can help you arrange the police, but you have to show some appreciation?"

"What do you mean??"

"What do I mean? Do I have to teach you how to ask for help?"

You have to add money!

Do you understand!

On Edward's side, he was silenced directly.

Edward: "I don't know, Governor..."

Fat Peng: "Governor? Who is the Governor? You've got the wrong person!"

Click~~~~

He continued to hang up the phone.

Fat Peng added another piece of apple and continued to call Edward.

Edward: "Okay, mysterious stranger, how much do you want?"

This phone call was truly stupid!

Fat Peng: "10 million US dollars!"

Actually, Fat Peng wanted more, but he thought it was a bit too hot to handle.

After all, he was the Governor and had to maintain basic decency.

Edward: "..."

Good heavens, you're really greedy!

10 million US dollars, how could you even open your mouth.

What else could he do?

Others are the butcher's knife, and I am the fish.

Edward: "Okay... but I have one requirement: you must send the police within 1 hour; I want to leave before dark."

Fat Peng: "Add money, 5 million US dollars!"

Edward: "…………"

Gritting his teeth!

Insatiable!

Despicable and shameless!

Edward: "Okay!"

Fat Peng: "I want cash; when it arrives, I'll send people!"

After hanging up the phone,

Fat Peng called Guan Zu and told him about it.

"Wait until the Flying Tigers escort you halfway, then you have the Flying Tigers leave first, and then you take action..."

"As for the 15 million US dollars, we'll split it fifty-fifty."

Guan Zu leaned back tactically!

Wow, Governor, you're so insidious!

Guan Zu: "Hehehe~~ Okay! Happy cooperation."

Fat Peng: "Happy cooperation!"

Hehehe~~~~

……

……

Edward checked the time; there were only 1 hour and 20 minutes left. If he kept talking to this insatiable, despicable, and shameless Governor, there wouldn't be enough time.

"Okay! I'll have someone prepare it immediately!"

Soon, Edward called Peng Lizhi and told him to go to the bank to get the money.

Peng Lizhi refused directly: "Manager, you've caused such a big scene, I'm afraid I'll be assassinated by the Five-Star Group too. I think it's better to send the Financial President himself."

This Financial President Mike, an enemy!

Must be taken out!

When Edward heard this, although he was dissatisfied with Peng Lizhi disobeying orders, he also felt it was human nature.

And the Financial President didn't know anything, so letting him take the risk was best.

He hung up the phone.

Peng Lizhi called Guan Zu and told him about the matter.

He suggested Guan Zu go and rob them.

Guan Zu: "…………"

With Fat Peng in front,

And you behind,

You British people, why are you so bad.

I was just saying, why has my moral level been dropping constantly lately? It turns out it's you people who have been corrupting me!

Damn it!

Give me back my original purity!

……

……

At this time,

Mr. Edward, who knew nothing, called Financial President Mike: "Mike..."

Mike: "Manager!"

Edward: "I've always felt that your ability is quite good... go do something for me, go to HSBC and withdraw 15 million US dollars, get it within 30 minutes, this is a test for you..."

A test?

Mike was excited: "No problem!"

Edward: "Pay attention, send the money to the Governor's House, don't send it to me... don't use an armored car... keep this matter secret, you know, I know. Do you understand?"

Mike: "???"

Forget it, whatever, just listen to the manager.

Then, just like a puppet soldier working for the Imperial Army, he ran over to sign for it, and then flew to HSBC.

HSBC was an old friend of Taikoo, both British-owned, and had received Edward's call in advance, so the withdrawal was very fast; without a word, they withdrew the money directly.

Within 20 minutes, they mobilized a large number of bank staff.

After counting, they packed it into suitcases...

Then they moved it to the car quickly, and he drove it himself, speeding away from HSBC.

The bank suggested using an armored car, but he refused.

Financial President Mike was driving halfway when a car stopped horizontally in front of him...

Screech————

He stopped quickly.

Two fierce robbers got out of the car opposite, wearing masks, and came to the front of the car.

A gun pointed at Mike: "Sir, open the trunk for me obediently."

Mike went from shock to anger; this group of people was robbing!

Robber: "Sir, the money is someone else's, but your life is your own, understand? I'll give you 3 seconds... 3... 2..."

Mike sobered up from his anger and opened the trunk obediently.

The robbers quickly dragged the money away and threw it into their car.

They drove away.

Mike, having survived the disaster, hurriedly called Edward: "Boss, the money was robbed halfway; there were two robbers, they..."

Edward: "???"

After being stunned, he felt a chill!

Sure enough, Guan Zu had been watching me all along!

He hurriedly called Fat Peng: "Gov... cough cough... mysterious person, I'm very sorry, I've already withdrawn the 15 million US dollars, but it was robbed by Guan Zu."

Fat Peng: "???"

What?

Guan Zu could eat another round?

I...

I was still too naive!

Fat Peng cursed directly: "Don't use such excuses to brush me off; if you don't want to give it, forget it... I'm telling you, I'm very angry! The police force won't protect you!"

He hung up the phone.

Then he had Secretary Kane call him.

With an apple piece in his mouth: "Mr. Edward, my boss is very angry now... he said, you must add money, 30 million US dollars!"

I, Fat Peng, also want to eat another round!
