Chapter 366: Speed of Life and Death

~11 min read 2,041 words

He Yuzhu quickly threw a bundle of High Explosive toward the entrance; the footsteps at the entrance were already drawing closer.

He pressed the remote and flashed into the space.

"Boom—!!!"

A heaven-shaking roar tore through the night sky, and the buildings within a fifty-meter radius collapsed in response.

The main building was still under renovation, and the bamboo scaffolding and construction materials piled around the perimeter ignited upon contact with the fire, flames soaring into the air in an instant and dyeing the entire horizon red.

He Yuzhu flashed out from the space and saw that the surroundings were already a ruin.

He used the thick smoke as cover to charge out of the fire, nimbly climbed an old banyan tree opposite the Police Department, released Lv Le from the space, used a hemp rope to loop around his neck and hang him from a branch; as he slowly regained consciousness, he kicked his legs a few times before going still, and He Yuzhu tossed the prepared photos of the "Confession Letter" toward the ground under the tree.

Not long after the explosion, the nearby commoners gathered toward the fire zone one after another.

"There's someone hanging from the tree!" a sharp-eyed little boy shouted.

Some people looked up at the hanged man, while others bent down to pick up the photos on the ground.

A crowd soon gathered here, and everyone's interest in this matter surpassed that of fighting the fire.

Fire trucks arrived with sirens wailing, but the fire was too large, and it was simply a drop in the bucket.

Injured people staggered out of the fire scene one after another, covered in smoke, dust, and blood.

He Yuzhu watched for a while, then stopped lingering, found his car, and sped toward the Eastern Shipping Company.

Approaching the company, he released Zhao Ying from the space.

Zhao Ying woke up and swung her fist to pound on He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu blocked while driving: "Stinking woman, I saved you, and you still want to return evil for good?"

"At the Police Department, they couldn't have done anything to me at all! With you pulling this stunt, how am I supposed to run the company from now on?"

"Your clothes were almost torn off by that bastard, and you still say it's nothing?"

Zhao Ying suddenly stopped, leaned in and kissed him on the face, and scolded: "Consider that you still have a bit of conscience... but by getting me out like this, I really have no way to survive in Hong Kong from now on!"

"The Police Department has been leveled, and few survived; who is still going to bother looking for you?" He Yuzhu said.

"If they don't look for me now, what if they settle scores later? The British are always like this, and I have to stay here forever!" Zhao Ying said urgently.

"Things have reached this point, what's the use of saying all this!"

"Hurry and tell me the whole process from beginning to end, and see if there's any way to remedy it!" Zhao Ying shook her head repeatedly.

He Yuzhu gave a brief account.

Zhao Ying listened intently, then mused: "Relying solely on those photos of Lv Le, the 14K has no reason to bomb the Police Department... we still need to find some harder evidence."

"Then how do we get it?"

"Do you have any real, solid evidence of Lv Le's extortion? If these are made public, the Police Department will have more enemies; those people he forced into bankruptcy are very likely to settle the account with the Police Department."

"I actually do!" He Yuzhu smiled, stopped the car, opened the trunk, took out Lv Le's Account Book, and handed it to Zhao Ying, "This bastard has a poor memory; every cent he extorted is written clearly. The last few pages also record the shares of various companies he seized."

Zhao Ying flipped through a few pages, her eyes lighting up: "I must go back immediately and copy these materials to all the major newspapers. As long as public opinion stirs up, the Police Department won't know who they should be arresting."

Just as the two returned to the company office, Xiao Qi pushed the door open in a panic and shoved a small medicine bottle to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying took out the note from the bottle, applied the medicinal liquid, and the handwriting gradually appeared.

Her expression changed slightly after reading it; she raised her eyes to look at He Yuzhu, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly.

"If you have something to say, say it; don't be sneaky." He Yuzhu frowned.

"Your Sister Liu is in trouble, and it's a matter of life and death... are you going to help or not?"

"She doesn't even pay attention to me, why should I care about her?" He Yuzhu feigned indifference.

"She's in mortal danger and you still don't care?" Zhao Ying walked over and twisted his ear, "She has your seed in her belly! You men are all no good..."

He Yuzhu sighed: "Is it Shen Shichang who wants to harm her, or the people from the Bald Party?"

"She has to pick up a few people who are being targeted by United States agents and the Bald Party, and she has to go personally..."

"What exactly does she do? How could such a thing fall under her jurisdiction?"

"Do you think she would tell me?" Zhao Ying said crossly, "She left a letter for me, asking to borrow fifty reliable men. I think she was at the end of her rope, which is why she contacted me as a last resort."

"Why do you say that?"

"After I had my incident, Xiao Qi had already left a letter for her!"

"It seems she really is out of options." He Yuzhu stood up, "I'll handle this."

Zhao Ying kissed him on the forehead: "I knew you wouldn't ignore it. You two are just a pair of bickering lovers!"

"Nonsense, even if I don't care about her, I have to care about the child. Besides, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me."

Zhao Ying laughed and scolded: "You say everything is simple, but in the end, it's always a bunch of people cleaning up after you. This time you'd better be careful; if you keep causing trouble like this, the British are really going to send a Warship."

"Can I borrow five people from you?" He Yuzhu suddenly said.

"Who do you want?"

"Martin and those black brothers of his. They go to the pier to pick people up, so they aren't easily targeted. I'll launch a surprise attack; as long as the people are out of the pier, I won't be afraid."

"Fine!" Zhao Ying immediately called people.

Martin and the others were extremely excited when they saw it was He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took five small boxes out of the trunk and handed them over: "Tomorrow's task is dangerous; there are thirty thousand Hong Kong Dollars in each box."

Martin declined: "Zhuzi, how can we take money for doing things with you?"

"This is an order!" He Yuzhu adopted his battlefield tone.

Martin and the others hurriedly accepted.

The next morning, Queen's Pier warehouse.

He Yuzhu's face was painted blacker than charcoal, he wore a wig curled with a soldering iron on his head, and he was dressed in an eye-catching gold suit.

Martin stared at him for a long time, and after recognizing him, gave him a punch: "You kid, this outfit... it's simply insulting us! Would we black people wear something like this? It's hideous!"

He Yuzhu grinned: "I'll wear it today, and tomorrow, except for Martin, whoever wants it can take it."

Martin immediately changed his tune: "Then I want one too!"

"Didn't you just say it was ugly?"

"I was just jealous!"

He Yuzhu stopped smiling and pointed to the side: "Every truck is equipped with a Bazooka Rocket Launcher and a Machine Gun. Familiarize yourselves with them and see if you still know how to use them."

The five men led by Martin immediately scattered to inspect the vehicles and familiarize themselves with the weapons.

Half an hour later, He Yuzhu waved his hand: "Move out."

Six trucks drove toward the pier.

On the shore, He Yuzhu spotted Liu Rusi dressed in men's clothing at a glance—her figure was a bit fuller than before, perhaps due to her pregnancy.

Beside her followed the short Pingping, whose round face looked quite natural in men's attire.

He Yuzhu had Martin go forward to make contact.

Seeing the person who arrived, Liu Rusi was slightly startled.

Although she had asked Zhao Ying for help, she hadn't truly expected her to send anyone.

Upon seeing there were only six people, a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes.

She whispered to Martin: "After you pick up the people, take them and leave first; I will cover the rear."

Martin shook his head: "Miss Zhao instructed that the rear-guard duty is to be left to us."

"There are only six of you, that won't work."

"You'll see our skills in a moment," Martin said proudly.

Liu Rusi frowned: "Since that's the case, we have thirteen people; I'll give ten to you."

"No need," Martin said with a firm tone, "Even if a hundred secret agents come, we can handle them."

Liu Rusi was so angry she chuckled to herself: This black man can really fucking brag.

Half an hour later, the passenger ship "Gordon General" slowly docked.

Another twenty minutes passed, and passengers began to disembark.

Liu Rusi finally waited for the five Experts, stepped forward quickly to identify herself, and then led them toward the exit.

Her gaze swept rapidly—five dock workers on the left had shifty eyes, over ten people were sitting in three sedans in the back, and a dozen "peddlers" in the square were acting suspiciously.

She and Pingping shielded the five people and walked quickly, while the six black brothers approached, pretending to peddle pearl necklaces.

He Yuzhu, with his messy hair, wandered over to Liu Rusi and shouted in broken Yue Cuisine: "Miss, Nanhai pearl necklaces! Twenty Hong Kong Dollar, you won't lose out, you won't be cheated!"

Liu Rusi had no heart to deal with him and ordered urgently: "You must protect these five Experts well!"

He Yuzhu grinned: "Miss, don't be nervous. I've piled sandbags all around my truck. Let these five sit in my vehicle. Rest assured, we brothers are the most professional killers! We've hunted lions on the South African grasslands, caught piranhas in the Amazon, and on the sea..."

Liu Rusi interrupted him: "I don't have time to listen to your rapping! There are at least thirty secret agents in the square! Why are you just staring at me? Keep your eyes on those secret agents!"

He Yuzhu looked left and right a few times: "How come I don't see a single one?"

"Dogshit killers!" Liu Rusi gritted her teeth, "Zhao Ying... I'll definitely strangle her when I get back. What kind of people did you find for me?!"

He Yuzhu chuckled, shouting his wares loudly while whispering quick instructions for the arrangement.

With his help, the five Experts boarded the truck.

As soon as they were seated, he struck them unconscious with his hand and instantly stored them into his space.

He Yuzhu neatly pulled the truck cover shut, jumped off the vehicle, squeezed into the driver's cab at lightning speed, started the engine, and the vehicle sped off like an arrow from a bow.

Seeing the six trucks suddenly accelerate, Liu Rusi hurriedly drove to catch up.

The secret agents had originally focused all their attention on Liu Rusi's group, only tailing them slowly from behind; only then did they realize those six black men were the ones providing the extraction. They immediately stopped pretending and scrambled into their cars to give chase.

Once out of the port, the six trucks braked in unison, signaling for Liu Rusi to go first.

Liu Rusi refused at first, so He Yuzhu simply didn't move.

Liu Rusi had no choice but to accelerate and drive ahead, and He Yuzhu's group followed closely behind.
