Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

The group chatted idly along the way and finally arrived in Tekat City in the evening.

Following the broker's instructions, the group parked their car at a nearby gas station, not far from Antonio's old hideout, an abandoned factory.

"Damn, there's a McDonald's here?" Christmas exclaimed in surprise.

The broker said with a displeased look, "What kind of talk is that? Are we not going to eat?"

"Ahem!" Christmas coughed twice, forgetting that there was still a "native" here, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "That's not what I meant. You'll treat me to a hamburger later!"

The broker, seemingly unconcerned or perhaps not even paying attention, chuckled and said, "What if it's one of our tacos here!"

"What? Tucker can make hamburgers?" Christmas exclaimed in surprise.
The broker put his arm around Christmas's shoulder, and the two walked together toward McDonald's.

They weren't there to eat, of course; they were just grabbing a bite while inspecting the factory.

After Christmas and his broker entered the burger shop, they immediately noticed that several burly men had occupied several tables.

Seeing Christmas and the broker walk in, everyone immediately turned their attention to the two of them.

Faced with this situation, Christmas tensed up, preparing to launch a counterattack.

But the broker expertly put his arm around Christmas's shoulder and whispered, "Relax, relax, buddy, don't do anything rash!"

The broker then greeted the shop assistant in Spanish, as if they were quite familiar with each other.

The two ordered some random things and then found a seat.

Seeing the broker's familiar manner, the burly men finally looked away and began eating and drinking on their own.

"See? I told you! This isn't difficult. Just listen to me!" the broker said to Christmas with a smile as he ate.

Christmas didn't say much, but instead ate while observing her surroundings.

Because it was a base, the factory was heavily guarded.

Seemingly on guard against something, even the lazy drug dealers were urged to get up and patrol the factory.

After talking with the broker, Christmas learned that these drug dealers would never be this active normally, so something important must have happened.

After finishing their meal, Christmas accompanied the broker on a walk around the area.

Of course, it was the brokers asking the questions, while Christmas silently observed his surroundings.

After spending some money and obtaining useful information, the two packed some food and returned to their car.

"How is it?" Barney asked.

The broker shrugged: "Antonio's business has been suffering lately, and these drug lords have taken on the role of kidnappers. If the coordinates you provided are correct, the person you're looking for should be inside the factory!"

"However, Antonio seems to have anticipated that someone would cause trouble, so he has recently gathered his underlings and kept them inside the factory."

Barney frowned upon hearing the broker's words.

They weren't like Chen Jiajun's freakish henchmen. The factory was a strategically important location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so breaking in to rescue people was unrealistic.

So Barney said to the broker, "I need the factory's internal layout diagrams, can you get them?"

"Sure, but it'll cost extra!" the broker said immediately.

Caesar's eyes widened immediately: "Damn it, you greedy bloodsucker, we paid you a million for this information, a million!"

Seeing the men staring at him with hostility, the middleman quickly waved his hands and said innocently, "Gentlemen, calm down! Calm down! This money isn't what I want. If you want the blueprints, I have to bribe the local officials, which means I have to spend money."

"Alright!" Barney waved his hand to calm his men down, then said to the broker, "How much do you want? Don't go too far!"

The broker breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fifty thousand US dollars!"

“Thirty thousand!” Barney said coldly, “and I need it within an hour!”

"Deal!" The broker's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.

Barney pulled out $30,000 in cash, slammed it on the car, and said coldly, "Remember, you only have one hour, and... if you dare to play any tricks, I guarantee you won't even have a chance to repent when you go to hell!"

"Don't worry, I'm a man of principle!" The broker grabbed the money and ran off in a flash.

"That bastard!" Christmas said speechlessly, watching the broker's retreating figure.

"Alright, everyone take a break. We'll get ready to move in once we get the blueprints!" Barney saw the sky getting darker and returned to the car.

As the sun was about to set, the broker finally brought out the blueprints.

"These are the original blueprints for the factory. As for whether Antonio made any changes, I don't know," the broker said to Barney, holding up the blueprints.

Barney glanced at the blueprints, then discussed them with his men and devised a battle strategy.

Barney is better at commanding operations than intelligence gathering.

In just ten minutes, three battle plans and retreat routes were determined.

After communicating with the broker and finding no problems, the group picked up their equipment and prepared to start.

……

"Arrived at the designated location!" From a large tree, Gunnar had already aimed his sniper rifle in the direction of the factory and notified Barney via radio.

Apart from the broker, the entire Barney team was mobilized.

They found a fire escape route in a factory on the blueprints and quietly sneaked in.

Since it was a rescue operation, Barney's idea was to avoid killing people without alerting the enemy.

Even the guy blocking the road was simply strangled unconscious.

Barney and his group soon approached the main factory building.

I listened for a while closer and noticed that the place had the most people inside.

It was impossible to avoid killing anyone here. After Barney made a gesture, several men pulled out .22 silenced pistols and took out the guards on the two high ground positions.

A team of personnel successfully approached the main factory building.

"Damn it!" Barney cursed aloud after glancing furtively at the factory.

Because he saw that Cao Weicai was hanging in mid-air, covered in wounds, and his clothes were already stained with blood.

If Barney hadn't seen his chest rising and falling, indicating he could still breathe, he would have thought he was too late.

Christmas asked in a low voice, "What do we do now? It's impossible to rescue the boss silently!"

Barney was an extremely decisive man. He gritted his teeth and said directly, "Force your way in! Clear out all the enemies inside the factory! Gunnar, make sure to coordinate with us to take out those we can't handle!"

"Understood!" The team members nodded.

Barney then took a deep breath, pulled out a flashbang and threw it into the factory, yelling, "You bastards, this is your greeting!"

Barney's shout immediately drew the attention of the kidnappers, and then a loud bang blinded everyone.

Then Barney and his men, wearing goggles, opened fire wildly on the people inside the factory.

Those who can join Barney's suicide squad are all top-notch experts.

In terms of marksmanship alone, they are top-notch.

With a single volley of fire, more than half of the dozen or so people in the factory were immediately wiped out.

Those who were waiting for a chance to retaliate were all named one by one by Gunnar from the treetops!

The gunshots inside the main factory building immediately attracted the attention of the factory patrol personnel.

It's estimated that the kidnappers' reinforcements will arrive in less than three minutes.

Knowing that time was of the essence, Barney led his team straight into the factory and unleashed a barrage of fire on the remaining enemies without seeking cover.

Christmas showcased his throwing knife skills, bringing Cao Weicai down from mid-air with a single throw.

Cao Weicai, who was pretending to be on the verge of death, saw the suicide squad coming to rescue him.

He immediately stood up energetically, leaving Santa dumbfounded.

Cao Weicai rolled over and hid in the cover, shouting at Christmas, "Take out Antonio! There's a secret door in the main factory that leads to other places!"

Upon hearing Cao Weicai's suggestion, the group, who were preparing to retreat, immediately stopped in their tracks. If there was a hidden door leading outside, they wouldn't need to force their way through the kidnappers outside.

So everyone charged straight at Antonio, who was hiding in the cover, and bullets were thrown out like they were free.

Antonio and his henchmen were completely stunned.

The drug lord couldn't unleash his ruthlessness at all; he could only watch as his underlings were killed one by one.

Seeing that the suicide squad had surrounded the cover, Antonio gritted his teeth, grabbed his rifle, and charged out, intending to take two of them down with him even if he died.

Unfortunately, his good idea was futile against Barney's elite mercenaries.

He had just jumped out of the bunker when he was met with Barney's revolver and Christmas's throwing knife.

It struck his hands directly, and he fell headfirst to the ground.

Seeing that he had taken the hostage, Barney immediately notified Gunnar to retreat, then pressed a gun to Antonio's chin and yelled at the kidnappers who came to his aid, "Put down your guns and get out of here!"

The kidnappers hesitated, and the guns in their hands involuntarily dropped to their sides.

It wasn't that these kidnappers were loyal; it was because there was simply no one left to stop them.

The number two and number three figures in this drug cartel were killed when Barney opened fire.

Right now, those outside are just some indecisive lackeys.

Otherwise, Barney's threat would not only be ineffective, but someone might even kill Antonio and replace him!

Seeing the kidnappers hesitate, Barney shot Antonio in the thigh again.

Antonio screamed in pain on the spot.

The kidnappers finally got scared and slowly withdrew from the main factory building.

Only after seeing that Barney had taken control of the situation did Cao Wei dare to come out from behind the bunker.

Although this guy was covered in wounds, he was full of energy. His seemingly dying appearance was all an act.

"Are you alright, boss?" Barney looked Cao Weicai up and down and asked with considerable surprise.

"It's nothing, I was just faking it. Give me the gun!" Cao Weicai's eyes flashed with a violent look. He then picked up Barney's revolver and fired several shots at Antonio's groin and thigh, causing the guy to faint from the pain.

After emptying the revolver's cylinder, Cao Wei threw the gun to Barney and said, "Come with me, I know their exit to the outside!"

Because Antonio has recently kidnapped a lot of people, he rarely goes in and out of the factory in order to avoid suspicion. He usually leaves the factory through the underground passage where he used to sell laundry detergent.

Fortunately, Cao Wei discovered the exit, which is why he beat Antonio half to death.

After leaving the passage with Barney and the others, they found themselves in a deserted area, at least two kilometers away from the factory.

Barney immediately contacted Gunnar and the broker to bring the car over, and then quickly left Tekat City.

Once on the bus, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

Barney laughed and said, "Boss, I thought you were going to die!"

"Yeah! I almost died!" Cao Weicai touched the ring pendant on his chest and said with a gloomy face, "Since I didn't die, then a lot of people have to die!"

Barney asked, somewhat surprised, "Do you know who did it?"

"Of course, who else could it be but those bedbugs!" Cao Weicai said through gritted teeth, "When I get back, I'm going to squeeze their balls out!"

After suffering so much, Cao Wei ate something and drank some water before falling into a deep sleep.

Barney and his group left in time and did not linger in Tijuana, instead boarding a plane directly back to Los Angeles.

When Cao Weicai regained consciousness, he found himself already at the company.

And sitting at the desk was his big boss, Chen Jiajun.

Upon learning of Cao Weicai's accident, Chen Jiajun rushed to the United States the next day.

Fortunately, Cao Weicai was lucky and didn't lose his life in Mexico.

"Big Boss!" The first thing Cao Weicai said to Chen Jiajun after waking up was, "I want revenge!"

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "You know who it is?"

Cao Weicai sneered: "Who else could it be but those bastards from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce!"

"Hmm? How did you know?" Chen Jiajun asked curiously.

Seeing Cao Weicai's confident expression, Chen Jiajun frowned.

Although he reminded himself not to get too close to these Chinese business associations in the United States.

However, Chen Jiajun did not believe that he was settling a personal score; rather, he had solid evidence.

Cao Weicai recounted the entire incident to Chen Jiajun.

Then, gritting his teeth, he said viciously, "Given our relationship with the California conglomerate, what blind force would dare to mess with us? Only a bunch of pig-like idiots would think of such a despicable method!"

Then Cao Weicai took out the documents that Antonio had made him sign and handed them to Chen Jiajun, saying, "And look, these companies are all controlled by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce!"

Chen Jiajun glanced at the contents of the document and immediately narrowed his eyes.

These bastards are trying to take advantage of my absence from America to destroy United Space Capital, which I've worked so hard to build!
Seeing this, Chen Jiajun put down the agreement and said to Cao Weicai, "Then go for it! I'll cover for you if anything goes wrong!"

With Chen Jiajun's words, Cao Weicai was immediately energized.

He's not the kind of nice guy who doesn't fight back after being beaten.

Now all he wants to see is rivers of blood flowing from these bastards!
……

On the other side, they were completely unaware of the impending danger.

Wu Mincai spent the whole night with two models yesterday, but when she woke up the next morning, she found that she could no longer reach Antonio by phone.

"Damn it, that damn Mexican drug lord, he won't go back on his word, will he?" Wu Mincai thought with a frown.

Just as he was pondering this, a phone call came in.

The woman who joined him that day was named Jumanz.

"Old Wu, something's happened!" Zhu Mans said anxiously.

Wu Min frowned and asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Cao Weicai is back!" Zhu Mans shouted loudly, "Didn't you say it was foolproof?"

"What?!" Wu Mincai jumped up from the bed in shock. "Are you sure?!"

"Of course I'm sure!" Jumans said angrily, "Didn't you say he was arrested by Mexican drug lords yesterday? Someone saw him at United Space Capital this morning! If he calls the police, we're all finished!"

"That's impossible!" Wu Mincai immediately denied it. "I clearly saw him being hung up and tortured by those drug lords yesterday afternoon..."

"I had someone film a video, take a look for yourself!" Zhu Mans didn't bother to explain and simply sent over a video.

As soon as Wu Min opened the video, she felt a chill run from her heels straight to the top of her head.

Although the video was not very clear, Wu Mincai was still able to recognize that the person standing in front of United Aerospace Capital was Cao Weicai himself.

Although he had many scars on his face, he was surprisingly in good spirits!

Moreover, he had six bodyguards by his side!
"See that? How are you going to solve this, you son of a bitch!" Zhu Mansi cursed angrily.

Wu Mincai quickly calmed himself down and said, "Wait, calm down! I haven't revealed my presence from beginning to end. He might not know that we were the ones who did it!"

“Really!” Jumans said with a doubtful look.

Because of this setback, she no longer trusted Wu Mincai at all.

Wu Mincai said angrily, "Of course it's true, otherwise I would be the first one to suffer!"

"Then you'd better clean up this mess!" Zhu Mans immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Zhu Mansi no longer trusted Wu Mincai, they were still in the same boat and shouldn't be so foolish as to implicate themselves.

After Zhu Mansi hung up the phone, Wu Min immediately started pulling at her hair: "What the hell is going on?!" (End of Chapter)
