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

Chapter 651 The Two Kings Meet
Jiang Hao fired the last bullet from the magazine at the foreigner on the ground, then changed the magazine, signaling the end of the battle halfway up the mountain.

The governor has maintained a company of security forces at Victoria Peak for over a year, and neither the personnel nor the deployment is a secret.

The relevant information had already been studied repeatedly by everyone. They knew that the second line of defense was the most secure and powerful. The third line of defense was set up only outside the governor's mansion, with no more than thirty people.

After the battle, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to reload their vehicles, heading towards the Governor's Mansion. Jiang Hao pulled the boss out of the mud puddle, brushed the fallen leaves off Yin Zhaotang's clothes, and said with displeasure, "Brother Tang, don't you trust me? You personally led the troops to clear the way?"

Yin Zhaotang wiped the dust off his face and said with a smile, "Knowing you wouldn't be late, I came to knock on the Governor's door first. I wanted to see the Governor in person and see if he would recognize me."

Jiang Hao laughed loudly, understanding that his superior was worried about his manpower shortage, which was why he had risked his life to lure out the foreign security company with a small force. Otherwise, the foreign security company wouldn't have rushed out so hastily; they would have been holding their posts and calling for reinforcements. A tough battle like that would have resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries!

“Alright, I’ll drag the governor out and let him recognize me.” Jiang Hao nodded happily and waved for his brothers to set off. A vanguard of two hundred men continued their advance, charging towards the mountaintop.

Yin Zhaotang, Xu Gang, and the others switched to jeeps and, keeping a distance of over 300 meters, slowly followed the advance team up the mountain. They once again puffed on cigars, indulging in their leisurely stroll.

When the vanguard arrived at the governor's residence, another firefight broke out. However, the number of people guarding the residence was clearly insufficient, and they were easily overwhelmed by the bannermen in less than ten minutes, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground.

As the iron gate opened, more than 400 flag soldiers poured into the garden and began searching for their target. They immediately shot and killed any armed security personnel they encountered.

The remaining administrative staff were captured, searched, and placed in a room. Surrounded by his brothers, Yin Zhaotang stepped onto the lawn of the Governor's Mansion. An officer jogged up, stood at attention, and saluted: "Report! The building has been cleared. A total of 27 people were killed and 52 were captured. After interrogation, the target has been taken into the underground safe house under the protection of bodyguards."

Jiang Hao sneered, "A safe house? Can you hollow out the entire Victoria Peak?"

“No, it’s located on the basement level, about 100 square meters.” The officer was clearly highly qualified, having obtained a lot of key information, and spoke it fluently.

Yin Zhaotang nodded slightly and ordered, "Take us there."

"Yes, sir!" The officer stood at attention and saluted. Immediately, a squad of armed men led the way to the safe house. Underground bunkers were practically standard practice in the residences of high-ranking officials. Some powerful figures could indeed hollow out an entire mountain, but Victoria Peak was a tourist attraction on Hong Kong Island, and the Governor wasn't a national-level official. Great Britain wouldn't spend hundreds of millions of public funds building a bunker for a Governor. At worst, if a Governor died, they could just appoint another.

Not just anyone can be a "bunker boy"!

Standing in front of the thick bulletproof steel door, Yin Zhaotang smiled, turned his head and waved to the surveillance camera in the corner, took a puff of his cigar, and said, "Sir, want to come out and have a chat? Don't worry, we locals care a lot about our reputation, we'll make sure you're safe."

"We're still waiting for your signature to withdraw the troops and lift the state of emergency on Hong Kong Island."

Yude stood in front of the closed-circuit television, swallowing hard, and glanced at the officer beside him. The officer, gripping his pistol, was ashen-faced, utterly astonished that a Chinese bandit gang had managed to storm the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing no response from the safe house, Yin Zhaotang wasn't annoyed. He simply took two steps back and said, "If you won't open the door, I have no choice but to use C4 to entertain you." "My brother brought enough weapons today! I hope Inspector Youde's steel door is thick enough so he doesn't get hit in the face."

After a gunshot was pointed at him, people immediately brought in bags of C4, piling them up until they formed a small mountain in front of the steel door. Seeing that the thugs at the door had already started installing the fuse, Yud finally couldn't hold out any longer and said dejectedly, "Open the door."

There is no absolutely safe fortress in the world; a safe house is only a temporary refuge. It has no meaning in the face of absolute power.

As Youde walked out the door, the other security personnel dropped their weapons and raised their hands. Jiang Hao quickly led his men forward, detained everyone, and personally dragged Youde to the boss to report the good news.

"You're out?" Yin Zhaotang, with a cigar in his mouth, pinched Youde's chin and said with interest, "Why don't you hold on a little longer and test if my C4 is strong enough?"

Yu De gritted his teeth, shook off Yin Zhaotang's hand, straightened up, and declared, "There's no need. You wouldn't dare kill me."

In his eyes, Yin Zhaotang was just a glove, with no power to decide his life or death. The governor was authorized by the Queen and held an important position in the Federation, making him a high-ranking official!
This time, the loss was only to the North, not to a gangster. Seeing this, businessman Jiang Hao was furious. He raised his gun butt and smashed Youde's head, then kicked the governor to the ground.

With the air of a victor, Yin Zhaotang strode up to Youde, squatted down, squinted his eyes, and whispered in his ear, "Sir, do you remember me?"

Yu De was initially taken aback, then seemed to remember something, staring intently at Yin Zhaotang, his eyes gradually revealing fear, his lips trembling as he whispered, "Kowloon Airport."

The two had faced off numerous times, but apart from that one time at the airport, they had never met in a formal setting. Even though I had heard of their names countless times and seen many photos and articles, nothing captured their essence as vividly as seeing them in person.

There's no need to wear a mask or pretend anymore; a little reminder is enough to evoke memories.

That was the last memory he wanted to remember!
People with opposing stances have always avoided meeting, but now that two kings have met, one of them is bound to suffer a tragedy!
"Yes, that's right." Yin Zhaotang clapped his hands and cheered loudly, then sighed, "I personally welcomed you to Hong Kong back then, and today I'm personally sending you back to your ancestral home. How about that? Isn't that loyal enough? But why didn't you listen when I told you to behave? You're good at playing colonial games, but when it comes to wielding swords, that's my specialty."

"Would it be alright if we notified the front lines to withdraw first, Commander?"

Jiang Hao tossed over a satellite phone, raising an eyebrow: "Hurry up, Chief, my gun is prone to misfires."

Yude quickly picked up the phone, dialed a number, and ordered the front lines to retreat. At this moment, the front lines were about to breach the headquarters gates and achieve victory when they received the order. Despite their anger, they had no choice but to retreat. Because the military serves politics, disobeying a politician's orders would result in severe punishment for the entire army.

After hanging up the phone, Youde asked, "Are you done? Can you leave now?"

“Since we’re here, of course we should take a look around.” Yin Zhaotang raised his head and looked at the three flags flying on the flagpole in the Governor’s Mansion Garden: the Federal Flag, the Hong Kong Flag, and the Royal Flag.
