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

Chapter 220 It’s our turn to fight back!
Su Hanze turned to look at him with sharp eyes: "Because they haven't arrived yet, we have to be one step ahead. Every move Chen Qing makes is waiting for me to fall into the trap, but I just want to disrupt his rhythm."

Liu Jing did not persuade them any more and quickly gathered the people. Ten minutes later, the convoy drove out of the warehouse and drove along the dim dock path towards the east warehouse. The containers on the roadside were piled up like mountains, exuding a smell of rust and dampness. The entire dock seemed to be pressed into a dead shadow.

Inside the car, Su Hanze looked out the window, his eyes calm and deep. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the seat, as if calculating the gains and losses of every step. A Kuan whispered, "Brother Ze, if the east side is also a trap, how should we deal with it?"

"Response?" Su Hanze raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer. "Chen Qing set up the game to make me choose to escape or attack. What he didn't expect was that I didn't follow his rules at all."

The convoy soon arrived at the east warehouse. The surroundings were still silent, without even a single person. After Liu Jing got off the car, he looked around vigilantly and whispered, "Brother Ze, it's too quiet here, it's abnormal."

Su Hanze didn't say anything. He glanced at the door of the warehouse, then slowly pulled out his gun and walked towards the warehouse. His steps were steady and calm, followed closely by A Kuan and Liu Jing.

The door of the warehouse was slightly open, revealing a dim gap. Su Hanze stood at the door, listened for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and kicked the door open.

Inside the door, the lights were dim, and several enemies armed with weapons were talking in low voices around a pile of cargo boxes. The moment the door was kicked open, they all looked over, with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

"Open fire!" Su Hanze spat out two words coldly, and the gun in his hand started firing.

Gunshots rang out again in the warehouse, and the enemy was caught off guard and suppressed, and was in a state of disarray for a while. Liu Jing led several of his men and rushed in quickly, attacking from different directions. The enemy tried to fight back, but the firepower was obviously insufficient and was soon completely suppressed.

The battle ended faster than expected, leaving only the mess on the floor and a few subdued enemies in the warehouse. Su Hanze walked to the cargo box and raised his hand to signal his men to open the box. The moment the lid was opened, his eyes became even colder - the box was filled with sensitive equipment and documents wrapped in shockproof materials.

Ah Kuan whispered, "Brother Ze, if these things are sent out, the consequences will be disastrous."

"So they won't be sent out." Su Hanze's tone was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable power. "Tell everyone that tonight is the beginning of our counterattack. Let Chen Qing know that every move he makes is under my control."

The air in the warehouse was mixed with the smell of dust and burning gunpowder. Su Hanze stood in front of the cargo box, his eyes swept over the equipment and documents in the box, his expression did not fluctuate at all. He lowered his head slightly, and his fingers gently brushed the edge of the box, as if he was thinking, and as if he was waiting.

Ah Kuan stood behind him and whispered, "Brother Ze, these devices and documents are obviously more than simple trading tools. Does Chen Qing want to use them to frame us, or does he have other intentions?"

Su Hanze did not answer immediately, but turned his eyes to a corner of the cargo box, where there was a stack of sealed paper bags. He reached out and picked up the top one, ran his fingertips across the seal, and tore it open, revealing several pages of densely written records.

Liu Jing came over, his eyes alert: "Brother Ze, what's written in it?"

Su Hanze flipped through a few pages, sneered, and spread out a record and handed it to A Kuan: "Look, Chen Qing wants to use us to do a very clean 'business'."

Ah Kuan took the record, glanced at it quickly, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "These...are the smuggling routes for sensitive resources in several places in the mainland? Not only does he want us to take the blame, he also wants to use these things to make a bigger deal."

Liu Jing slammed the cargo box next to him, his tone full of suppressed anger: "He is using us as a shield! Whether there is a problem with the goods or the transaction is exposed, we have to take the blame."

Su Hanze's eyes dropped slightly, and his tone was so calm that it made people feel uneasy: "Chen Qing's calculations were very good, but he forgot one thing: those who scheme against others will eventually be bitten back."

He closed the file, stuffed the paper bag back into the cargo box, and looked up at the mess in the warehouse. On the ground were several subdued enemies, some of them covering their wounds, some lowering their heads and not daring to look directly into Su Hanze's eyes.

One of the men who seemed to be the leader was held down by two men, and blood was still oozing from his body. His face was pale, but his eyes still showed some unwillingness and stubbornness. He gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice: "Su Hanze, do you think that if you win this step, you can win the whole thing? Chen Qing had expected you to come a long time ago, and he doesn't care about these things at all."

Su Hanze slowly walked up to him, squatted down, and looked straight at him: "Chen Qing doesn't care about these things, so do you think he will care about you?"

The man was startled for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly pretended to be calm: "You don't have to provoke me, it's useless for me to say it. Chen Qing never leaves us a way out when he does things."

"Leave a way out?" Su Hanze chuckled, his voice so low that it seemed to come from the depths of hell. "Do you think you still have a choice now?"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed to the documents in the box, his voice cold: "Each of these things can completely expose Chen Qing's network of contacts. You think you have hidden it well, but in my eyes, it's just a paper disguise. Now, I'll give you a chance to tell me all his plans and his movements. Otherwise, I can make you speak one by one."

The man was shocked, his lips trembling, but he didn't answer immediately. His eyes moved between Su Hanze and the cargo box, and he was obviously struggling fiercely in his heart.

Liu Jing stepped forward and said in a cold tone: "You don't want to say it, right? Then let me ask in a different way. How long will it take for the reinforcements mentioned in your communication just now to arrive?"

The man clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Su Hanze slowly stood up, clapped his hands, and turned his gaze to A Kuan: "Since you don't want to tell him, then let him watch. Doesn't he trust Chen Qing? Then let him see with his own eyes how Chen Qing treats his 'brother'."

Ah Kuan nodded, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and waved it in front of the man: "It's okay if you don't tell me. When your reinforcements arrive, we will use you as a trade. Let's see if they want you or their plan."

The color on the man's face completely disappeared, and he grumbled with difficulty. Finally, as if he was forced into a desperate situation, he whispered: "Chen Qing...Chen Qing sent another team to ambush you on your way back. He knows that you will definitely leave with these things. This is his last resort."

"Ambush?" Liu Jing sneered, "It seems that Chen Qing is really determined to attack us."

Su Hanze did not show any anger. His eyes remained calm and his tone was even: "Where is the ambush?"

“It’s…it’s near the exit of the port. His people will disguise themselves as law enforcement officers to intercept you, search the goods, and then…” The man’s voice became lower and lower, as if he had used up his last bit of strength.

"And then he put the blame on us." Su Hanze took over the conversation coldly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Chen Qing's routine is really unchanging."

He turned around and said to Liu Jing and A Kuan, "Take these things away and leave him a 'surprise'. Since he wants me to take these goods away, I will let him know what the consequences are."

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment: "Brother Ze, what do you mean?" Su Hanze raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer: "Send him a fake deal and see how far he can go."

Ah Kuan understood immediately, and a sly smile appeared on his face: "Brother Ze, this is a ruthless move. Shall we start planning now?"

"Take action immediately." Su Hanze's voice was not loud, but it revealed an irresistible force. "I don't like losing, and I don't like being schemed against."

As the night deepened, everything in the warehouse gradually returned to calm. Su Hanze stood at the door, looking at the port with flashing lights in the distance, and whispered: "Chen Qing, I have seen through your game. Next, it's my turn."

The lights on the dock were as sparse as stars, and outside the east warehouse was only the silent night. The occasional sound of waves was like a faint warning. Su Hanze stood at the door of the warehouse, looking deeply at the sea in the distance, with an unlit cigarette between his fingers. His breath was steady, but Ah Kuan and Liu Jing beside him felt a little uneasy.

Ah Kuan whispered, "Brother Ze, according to what that guy just said, Chen Qing's ambush point is near the exit. If we take these goods over there, it will be exactly what he wants. Should we change the route?"

Su Hanze raised his eyes to look at him, his gaze as cold as a knife: "Changing the route means telling him that we already know his plan. Chen Qing wants to see us panic, so let him think that we are really following his plan."

Liu Jing frowned, obviously a little worried: "Brother Ze, what if we are ambushed..."

"So what if he wins?" Su Hanze interrupted him, speaking in a low and calm voice, "He designed this game. I just want him to feel that he has a good chance of winning, so that the next step will be more easily exposed. His moves are not sophisticated enough."

Ah Kuan couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ze, what about those goods? Are we really taking them away?"

Su Hanze shook his head slightly, with a sneer on his face: "These goods are his key. Without them, he won't be able to take the next step. Of course we have to take them, but not all of them."

He raised his hand to signal several of his men to come over, and whispered, "Divide the cargo boxes into two batches. Use empty boxes as disguises for one batch, and load the other batch with equipment related to the documents, but they cannot be real. Do a good job on the surface and make sure there are no flaws."

The men moved quickly, and the lights in the warehouse flickered slightly, reflecting the tension and concentration on everyone's face. They had a clear division of labor, carefully adjusting the contents of the cargo boxes and repackaging them. Some disguised empty boxes were loaded onto trucks, and their appearance was exactly the same as the real ones.

Liu Jing watched all this and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ze, what if Chen Qing's people check on the spot and find that these are fake?"

"No." Su Hanze said calmly, his eyes never leaving the truck. "Chen Qing's goal is to put the blame on us. He won't expose us on the spot. These people only need to make sure that the goods look intact and then hand them over to Chen Qing to deal with. The more anxious he is to frame us, the less likely he will investigate."

Ah Kuan nodded, and the expression on his face gradually relaxed: "Brother Ze is very smart. Chen Qing probably never dreamed that the game he carefully arranged would turn into a dead end for himself."

"Not that smart." Su Hanze's eyes were slightly cold. "He is betting that we can't see through his intentions. I just know how to control the rhythm better than him."

The trucks were quickly loaded, and the convoy slowly drove out of the warehouse and headed for the exit along the dock path. Su Hanze sat in the back seat of the main truck, leaning back and closing his eyes to rest. Ah Kuan and Liu Jing stared ahead nervously, with reports from spies outside constantly coming through their headphones.

"Brother Ze, there has been movement near the exit." Liu Jing whispered, "The other party is disguised as a law enforcement team, there are quite a few of them, it seems that they are planning to intercept directly."

"Very good." Su Hanze's tone remained calm, "Follow the original plan and maintain the speed."

As the convoy approached the exit, a blinding searchlight suddenly lit up, illuminating the road ahead as bright as day. Several men in uniform came out and waved for the convoy to stop.

Ah Kuan whispered, "Brother Ze, it has already begun."

Su Hanze opened his eyes, looked up at the searchlight, and raised his lips slightly: "Let them perform."

The driver in front stopped the car, rolled down the window, and pretended to be innocent: "What's the problem?"

The leading man said coldly, "We have received a report that this batch of goods may involve illegal transactions and needs to be inspected. Everyone get off the car and cooperate with our work."

The driver nodded and said, "No problem, we are just an ordinary logistics company, and all the documents for the shipment are complete."

The man was obviously impatient and waved his hand to signal his men to start checking. Several enemies disguised as law enforcement officers quickly approached the truck, opened the compartment, and carefully checked the cargo box. However, the cargo boxes they opened were all disguised, and the empty shells inside perfectly concealed the real contents.

The leading man looked at it for a while, seemed a little confused, turned around and asked: "What's going on? Didn't you find any problems?"

Another person whispered: "No, this batch looks fine."

The man frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the result. He walked to the last car and checked it himself, but still found nothing abnormal. His face gradually became gloomy, but he still pretended to be calm and waved his hand: "You can go now, but we will continue to check later. Please leave your contact information."

The driver nodded repeatedly, slowly started the convoy and drove away from the exit.

Ah Kuan glanced through the rearview mirror and whispered, "Brother Ze, they let us pass."

Su Hanze leaned back in his chair, his eyes cold. "They let us go only because they confirmed that the 'goods' were still there. Chen Qing thought he had the upper hand, and now it's our turn to fight back."

After the convoy traveled for a distance, Su Hanze ordered a stop. He took Liu Jing and A Kuan to quickly transfer to another hidden car, while the disguised truck continued to move forward to attract Chen Qing's attention.

"Brother Ze, where are we going next?" A Kuan asked.
