What do you mean by quitting the business? I'm not a big shot.

Chapter 585 Chaos
The moment the alarm sounded inside the car, he bent down under the seat with his left hand, pulled out a pistol, cocked it, and shouted, "Brother Tang!"

"Four-eyes, it's not your turn yet." Yin Zhaotang chuckled, calmly took out a Black Star pistol, loaded the magazine, and remained composed.

"Boss, should we dodge or not?" He hesitated, his left hand reaching out the window to see the intense fighting. Yin Zhaotang, quick-witted, immediately replied, "Xu Gang is experienced; do as he says."

He bent down and hid his left hand behind the chair, nodding and saying, "I understand."

The driver, Xiao Ma, also pulled out a weapon from the armrest and hid behind the steering wheel: "Boss, I'm still here!"

Although the driver was not part of the action team, he served the big boss all day and was a trustworthy person.

When Yin Zhaotang came to his senses, he became even calmer and even comforted the two of them: "Don't worry, it's not the police force or Lian Kee's men. If it were the police force, I would definitely have received the news."

"It's unlikely to be the disciplined forces; it's either the Military Intelligence Bureau or the private soldiers of a foreign firm!"

"There won't be too many people; Xu Gang can handle it."

With Inspector Yu in charge, even the Special Duties Unit (SDU) and the Special Branch wouldn't dare to act recklessly. The ICAC is even more short of operational personnel and can't muster so many well-trained, skilled gunmen capable of murder and arson.

The Military Intelligence Bureau wasn't short of people, but in just one afternoon, the Governor was required to apply to the government to assemble a Black Gloves unit.

Very difficult.

On the contrary, the private soldiers of foreign firms, who consisted of a large number of retired officers from combat units, had ample reason and motivation to overturn the table.

It's important to understand that the success of Chinese capital's bailout of the market wasn't about how much money the foreign firms made in one go, but rather about causing them to lose their dominant position in Hong Kong's capital market.

It's not surprising that a dispute over economic sovereignty has escalated into armed conflict.

Foreign firms like HSBC and Swire had legal armed forces when they colonized Asia a century ago, and some of these forces still exist today, habitually maintaining internal security.

Normally, they transport cash, patrol the building, and protect the safety of the foreign tycoons. But when things really come to a head and it's a matter of life and death, they are a formidable force.

On his left, Xiao Ma subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that it wasn't a disciplined force.

As long as they are not disciplined forces, the number of enemies cannot be too large. However, at this moment, there are quite a few of them. Don't be fooled by the fact that Xu Gang only brought ten people. If you include Si Yanlong, Kaixin, Ge Zhixiong, and Dapu Niu's bodyguards, what about them?
Xu Gang led his men to maintain the battle line while shouting loudly for two of his men to protect their boss and get him into the Bentley behind them.

Big Head's Rolls-Royce is too eye-catching. If the enemy pulls out an RPG, then no matter how brave Xu Gang is, it will be useless.

Retreating to the Bentley at the back and using the cars in front as cover, can almost stop all the M16 bullets.

As long as the key points are held and the area is contained, we can wait for reinforcements with peace of mind.

The Cross-Harbour Tunnel is a major transportation hub. If a large-scale gunfight were to occur, it would definitely shake Hong Kong, and both triad members and the police would arrive as quickly as possible.

While Yin Zhaotang, Zuo Shou, and the others were changing vehicles, screams filled the tunnel. Many citizens got out of their cars and ran, shouting in panic. But whether in front or behind, innocent civilians were being shot and falling to the ground, screaming in agony. The foreign troops had definitely come prepared, deliberately setting up a pincer attack. Hearing the gunshots and cries echoing through the tunnel, even with his calm mind, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine; his hair stood on end, and his heart pounded wildly. Terrifying!

If someone stuffs you into their pocket and hits you, who wouldn't be shocked!
The foreigners flipped the table, shameless, they let bullets do the talking.

How could I not be shocked?

Even Yin Zhaotang, who had anticipated this and made some preparations, was shocked. Big shots like Ge Zhixiong, Si Yanlong, A Hu, and Kaixin, who were unprepared, were even more terrified and their hands and feet went weak.

However, whether a leader has the courage and guts is most easily revealed in a life-or-death situation. For example, Gao Laosen, who was known as the "stock god", was already standing on his own two legs, hiding in his car, and acting like a spineless coward.

Seeing that their uncle was quite frightened, the two brothers from the Criminal Investigation Division had no choice but to guard the car with their weapons. Although they were worried about Tang's safety, Uncle Sen was the one who usually supported them. Getting out of the car to risk their lives was unpredictable, and stray bullets flying around didn't care about anything. It was safer inside the car.

Yuanbao, Dazhi, and others are similar.

But Ah Hu from the Big Circle Gang pushed open the car door, cursed, opened the trunk, and handed weapons to several bodyguards, yelling, "Fuck your mother, you foreigners, trying to wipe us all out!"

"Brothers, grab your weapons and get the hell out of here!"

Six brothers wearing "Guangdong Youfu Lion Dance Troupe" T-shirts caught the rifles, raised their hands above their heads, and fired a burst at the foreigners in front of them without even looking at them.

Kaixin clenched his fists, stubbed out his cigarette, flung it out the car window, and said with a ferocious expression, "Kill them!"

The five brothers from Wo Shing Wo opened the car door, pulled out their Black Star rifles, and fired at the foreigner.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards of Tai Po Niu, Ge Zhixiong, and Si Yanlong all drew their weapons and joined the battle. No one believed that the foreigners were only after Shen Xiantang, or rather, it didn't matter who they were after. If the foreigners had the courage to wipe them out, they had the guts to fight to the death.

All the major triads in Hong Kong immediately received the news—their leaders had been cornered and beaten by foreigners in the Cross-Harbour Tunnel!
In an instant, countless Hung Society brothers were mobilized, Green Gang members set off, and countless cars rushed towards both ends of the Cross-Harbour Tunnel. A stretch of road less than two hundred meters long was completely turned into a battlefield, densely packed with more than a hundred vehicles. Each car was guarded by someone, and with the forty-odd gunmen sent by the foreigners, there were more than a hundred people crammed in. Gunfire, both large and small, was almost non-stop.

In less than seven minutes, there were thousands of spent shell casings on the ground. In the area of ​​concentrated firefight, vehicles were riddled with bullets, and people were falling every minute.

The bodyguards of the Number Gang, in particular, relying on their superior numbers and wanting to show off, turned around and launched a strong attack on a group of foreigners behind them. However, they did not pay attention to the passage on the left, which gave two enemies an opening, and five of them were sent away in one wave.

Seeing that the battle had completely degenerated into a chaotic melee, with all sorts of people getting involved and the scene extremely disorderly, Xu Gang simply ordered his team to shrink their lines, defend both sides, and hand over the rear and front to other gangs, no longer engaging the foreigners in direct combat.

Seeing the increased firepower ahead, gunmen from other gangs naturally moved up to provide support. Xu Gang didn't stand idly by either; he provided fire support from time to time, but with the protection of the big boss as the core objective, he cleverly mobilized even greater forces.

After the initial chaos subsided, the gang members, relying on their superior numbers and firepower, quickly found their rhythm and forcefully suppressed the foreigners' offensive.

There are different ways to fight in chaotic battles. Although you can forget about precise command, the gang's gunmen are very adaptable to chaotic battles. They coordinate in small groups, dash around, and use sniper shots, and they are gaining an advantage more and more.
