Hong Kong Film: Short mules have no future, I am in charge of Hong Kong

Chapter 216 It’s all a misunderstanding!
Su Hanze walked slowly closer, his eyes fell on Li Jian coldly: "My goods still need me to come and get them myself. It seems that you people really don't know your place."

Li Jianqiang pretended to be calm, with a sneer on his face: "Mr. Su, not all of this batch of goods belongs to you. You'd better think clearly about the consequences for the people involved."

Su Hanze stopped and stood less than two meters away from Li Jian. His voice was low but full of pressure: "Consequences? The thing I, Su Hanze, am least afraid of in my life is consequences."

Li Jian's face changed slightly. He obviously underestimated Su Hanze's determination. He quickly scanned the surroundings, trying to find a chance to break out, but found that he was completely surrounded.

"I'll ask you one last time, who told you to do this?" Su Hanze's gaze was like an icy blade, piercing straight into Li Jian's eyes.

Li Jian clenched his teeth and did not answer.

"Take it away." Su Hanze waved his hand and turned to walk out of the warehouse. His voice echoed in the empty warehouse, cold and resolute, "Whether it's him or his boss, wait for my return gift."

Outside the warehouse, the wind whistled past, and the convoy quietly stopped at the edge of the port. Several men took Li Jian to a car. His face was pale, his wrists were tied tightly with thick ropes, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, but he still held his head up stubbornly, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

Su Hanze stood beside the car, his hands in his windbreaker pockets, his eyes coldly fixed on Li Jian. He said nothing, but lowered his head and lit a cigarette. The smoke slowly rose in the night, hiding his face in the shadows.

Ah Kuan walked forward and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ze, what should we do next? Should we take him back for questioning, or should we settle the matter here?"

Su Hanze blew out a puff of smoke and said calmly, "Solve it? He's still useful. Sending him back is too cheap." He turned to look at A Kuan, a sneer on his face, "But I have no use for his hand."

Ah Kuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and whispered to the person behind him: "Do it."

Two men quickly stepped forward and dragged Li Jian off the car. He began to struggle frantically, cursing loudly: "Su Hanze, you dare to touch me? Do you know who I belong to? If you touch me, they will not let you go!"

Su Hanze stood aside, watching quietly, without the slightest emotion. His eyes were like cold iron, and did not waver at all during Li Jian's shouting.

"Whose hand is so long? I really want to meet him." Su Hanze's voice was low, but every word hit Li Jian's heart like a nail. "But before you meet him, you have to pay the price for your actions first."

The man pulled out a short knife, the blade flashing coldly under the light. Li Jian finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and he began to shout frantically: "You can't do this! I'm just an errand boy! I didn't arrange the delivery! I don't know anything!"

Su Hanze raised his hand to signal his men to stop, then walked forward and looked down at Li Jian: "It's too late to say you don't know now. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

Li Jian's eyes were filled with despair and fear, his lips trembled, and his voice was hoarse: "I... I was really just following orders! It was Zheng Mingan who was responsible for arranging the transfer of these goods. The person behind it... I don't know either..."

"Zheng Ming'an." Su Hanze repeated in a low voice, then turned to look at Ah Kuan, "Write down this name. As for him," he looked back at Li Jian and sneered, "It's enough to leave him one hand to report back."

The men did not hesitate any longer, the dagger fell quickly, blood spurted out, Li Jian let out a heart-wrenching scream, his body curled up on the ground and trembled violently. The severed hand was carefully wrapped and placed in a black box. The whole process was clean and neat, without any drag.

Ah Kuan looked at Li Jian on the ground and frowned slightly: "Brother Ze, if we let him go back like this, they might counterattack even more fiercely."

"That's why I want to send him back." Su Hanze turned and walked towards the convoy, his tone carrying an unquestionable coldness, "This is not a simple warning, this is a declaration of war."

The convoy quickly left the port, placing the unconscious Li Jian and the severed hand in different cars. Su Hanze sat in the car, looking calmly at the street scene passing by outside the window. He had already begun to outline the next plan in his mind, and the real showdown had just begun.

A few hours later, the hand was sent to a high-level office in Tai Sheng Group. On the wooden desk was the black box. When the lid was slowly opened, the bright red blood and the shocking severed hand made the atmosphere in the room freeze instantly.

A middle-aged man stood by the table, his brows furrowed, his face as gloomy as a dark cloud. He reached out and pushed the box a little, his eyes coldly sweeping towards the assistant standing beside him: "Is this what Su Hanze meant?"

The assistant whispered back, "Yes, and he also said, 'Next time, it won't just be the hand.'"

The middle-aged man clenched his fists, with a fierce look in his eyes: "He thinks he can scare me like this? Tell him that the game is not over yet."

Meanwhile, Su Hanze sat in his office, listening to A Kuan's report. His eyes fell on the documents on the table, and he tapped the table lightly: "How will the people from Tai Sheng respond?"

Ah Kuan smiled and said, "Brother Ze, given their temperament, I'm afraid they won't give up. But their counterattack may also reveal more of their secrets."

"Then let them come." Su Hanze's eyes were cold and his tone was resolute, "I want to let them know that no one who challenges me will have a good ending."

As night fell, the neon lights of Hong Kong Island lit up the outline of the city in the thick darkness, like a large net woven of light and shadow, covering the busy streets. Su Hanze sat in front of the French window in his office, with a cup of unfinished tea beside him, tapping the armrest with his fingertips, the rhythm steady and slow. His eyes fell on the sea of ​​flickering lights outside the window, revealing a calm but unfathomable thought.

Ah Kuan stood beside him, holding a document in his hand, with a cautious look on his face: "Brother Ze, I just received news that the people at Tai Sheng have received the 'gift'. Their reaction was more intense than we expected."

Su Hanze raised his eyebrows, his eyes still not moving away from the window: "How intense is it?"

"They directly sent people to block Li Jian's logistics lines, and also searched for our control points in several key ports in the mainland." A Kuan's tone was solemn, "It seems that they are planning to fight head-on."

Su Hanze finally turned his head and glanced at the document in A Kuan's hand. He did not take it immediately, but asked calmly: "Where is Zheng Mingan? Is there any action?"

"He hasn't shown up yet, but Tai Sheng is obviously protecting him in secret. Our people tried to get close, but were stopped several times." A Kuan put the file on the table and continued, "However, we found out that he has been meeting frequently with a man named 'Boss Lu' recently. This Boss Lu controls some of Tai Sheng's gray channels and is very likely one of the behind-the-scenes planners." Su Hanze picked up the file, flipped through a few pages, and threw it back on the table, with a sneer on his face: "Boss Lu... It seems that Tai Sheng does have a lot of hidden cards."

"Brother Ze, do you want to mobilize more manpower?" A Kuan asked tentatively.

"No hurry." Su Hanze leaned back in his chair, his eyes deep. "They are anxious now because they can't see our cards clearly. What we need to do is to make them more and more uneasy."

Ah Kuan nodded and was about to leave when his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked up the phone and his face suddenly became serious: "Brother Ze, there is something going on with Liu Jing. They found that Tai Sheng's people were secretly gathering in a warehouse on Hong Kong Island. It seems that they are preparing for the next move."

Hearing this, Su Hanze slowly stood up, straightened his suit, and said calmly, "Where is the location?"

"It's in the unloading area of ​​West Port." Ah Kuan answered quickly, "But the enemy's defense is very tight, and our people haven't gotten close yet."

"Let's go." Su Hanze picked up the phone on the table and said in a low and calm voice, "Tonight, I want to see what they are plotting."

As the convoy drove out of the headquarters building, the night deepened. There was silence in the car, with only Ah Kuan reporting the latest intelligence from time to time: "Brother Ze, the area around that warehouse is already full of Tai Sheng people, about twenty of them, divided into several groups patrolling. We don't know what's inside the warehouse, but it's very likely that Zheng Ming'an and Boss Lu are there."

Su Hanze leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and tapped the armrest with his fingers. He did not speak, as if waiting for the right moment.

Half an hour later, the convoy stopped at a hidden location not far from the Xigang warehouse. Liu Jing had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Su Hanze, he quickly came up to him and whispered, "Brother Ze, the surrounding situation has been checked. There are four people guarding the main entrance of the warehouse, and there is a patrol team on each side. We can go in from the north wall, which is the weakest point of their defense."

"Where are the people inside?" Su Hanze asked, looking up.

"At least five or six." Liu Jing answered quickly, "But the other side didn't seem to expect us to come. Although the defense is strict, it is not complete."

Su Hanze nodded and said in a deep voice, "Divide into two groups. One group will attract attention, and the other group will break in directly from the north. Remember, the goal is to find Zheng Mingan and Boss Lu, and don't alert too many other people."

Liu Jing immediately took the order and began to deploy with several of his men.

The night wind was mixed with the salty smell of the sea. Su Hanze followed the intrusion team and quietly went around to the north side of the warehouse. The wall here was a bit shabby, and several men quickly built a simple ladder and climbed over the wall. Their movements were light and fast, without making any unnecessary sounds.

The lights in the warehouse were dim, and several people from Tai Sheng were talking in a low voice in the corner, completely unaware of the approaching danger. Su Hanze stood in the shadows, scanning the surroundings with a sharp eagle-like gaze, and soon locked onto a small office in the center of the warehouse.

"Over there," he whispered, then waved his hand, signaling several of his men to follow.

The door of the small office was closed tightly, and there was a faint sound of conversation coming from inside. Su Hanze leaned close to the door and listened quietly for a moment, confirming the voice inside: "Zheng Mingan and Boss Lu are both here."

Liu Jing nodded and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ze, shall we start now?"

Su Hanze did not answer immediately, but signaled his men to ambush outside the door. He glanced coldly at the door, and then said in a very low voice: "Wait until they finish talking, and then catch them alive."

The voices in the office gradually became clearer. Zheng Mingan was obviously a little flustered, and his tone was hurried: "Boss Lu, Su Hanze's actions were too fast, and our people had no time to react. Li Jian's side is finished, and I'm afraid we have to readjust the plan this time."

Boss Lu's voice was calm, but with a hint of coldness: "Why are you panicking? The stronger Su Hanze is, the easier it is for him to reveal his flaws. Although we didn't get the goods this time, we still have plans for the next step. His logistics line will be cut off in our hands sooner or later."

Zheng Mingan was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "What's next?"

Boss Lu smiled coldly: "Next, we will move his people. Tear a hole from his inside and let him know that he is not invincible."

Su Hanze, who was outside the door, heard this and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He slowly reached out and pushed open the door. The light shone on his face, and the expressions of Boss Lu and Zheng Mingan froze instantly.

The lights in the warehouse were dim, and the air was filled with dampness and dust. Everything in the room seemed to be still, with only the sound of Su Hanze's slow footsteps echoing around. His eyes were calm and sharp, sweeping across Boss Lu and Zheng Mingan like a blade. The air seemed to become thinner under his gaze, as if a sharp knife light would cut through the silence in the next second.

Boss Lu leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, with a hint of alertness in his eyes. He was not panicking, but just curled his lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Mr. Su, I didn't expect to see you here."

Su Hanze stood in front of the table, his hands in his windbreaker pockets, his eyes burning. He did not respond to Boss Lu's greeting, but said coldly: "It seems that you know me well and know that I will come here in person."

Boss Lu chuckled, leaned back in his chair, and put on a relaxed attitude: "I have heard about Mr. Su's methods. When Li Jian extended his hand to me, I knew that you would come to clean up the mess yourself."

"Endgame?" Su Hanze repeated in a low voice, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Do you think you can settle this game?"

Boss Lu's smile faded a little, and his brows furrowed slightly. Zheng Ming'an, who was beside him, could no longer sit still, and his whole body was as nervous as a taut string. He quickly glanced at the door, but found that it was already full of Su Hanze's men, each of them had a stern expression, and the weapons in their hands were flashing coldly.

Zheng Mingan’s voice trembled: “Mr. Su, this is all a misunderstanding, we just…”

"Shut up." Su Hanze interrupted him with a voice without a trace of warmth in his tone. His eyes returned to Boss Lu, "I'm not here to listen to nonsense. Li Jian has already paid for you regarding the goods. Now, it's your turn to explain."
