Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 382, ​​page 159: A Road Where Bullets Fly (Additional 1000 words)
"Fake, you stinky bastard!"

Seeing that two more of her men were injured and their fates unknown, Sister Goose cursed without thinking. She picked up the lion's nose in her hand, pointed it at the driver's side door, and pulled the trigger, killing a masked man who was trying to jump out of the car.

The door to the back of the dump truck opened, and two filthy rats wearing black stockings jumped out of the truck, immediately firing their submachine guns.

"Da da da da da"

"Da da da da da"

"Bang bang bang bang... bang..."

The officers, who were preparing to return fire, were suppressed by the powerful firepower of the submachine guns. They lowered their heads to the side of the carriage, raised their hands to the noses of the lions, and fired wildly at the direction of the gunfire.

Sister Goose, who was hiding behind the car, quickly moved to another place to hide. Her crawling posture was very standard. She soon arrived next to the escort vehicle and smashed the head of a guy who wanted to approach the escort vehicle.

"Hold on, reinforcements will arrive in two minutes."

There is only one way forward: to fight to the bitter end. The professor will not leave any survivors, not only the nine-tailed fox, but also all the police officers present.

Sister Goose shouted loudly, not only to encourage the guys, but also to tell these bastards holding long torches not to do anything rash. The bonuses belong to the boss, but their lives are their own. It's not worth risking your life for a little money!

But this psychological offensive didn't seem to work. The number of submachine guns increased from two to four, and they kept firing, killing everyone present.

A pistol against a submachine gun—no one can win!
However, the police officers also had heavy firepower. Two shotguns with shotgun shells were used to shoot down the approaching bandits, and the one at the front was shot through the intestines.

"So majestic!"

The sirens grew closer, and a police van was approaching—this was the backup Sister Goose had called in.

The bandits were stunned for a moment when they saw that there were reinforcements, but they quickly recovered. They tore off raw sweet potatoes from their bodies, removed the safety rings, and threw them at the escort vehicle without hesitation. They then turned and left.

This shows that this group of rats were no ordinary people. Their retreat was not a chaotic scattering, but an orderly withdrawal. Some even lay on the ground to provide suppressive fire, preventing the police from having a shooting competition.

Within a minute, the swarm of rats had all run away from the nearby bushes.

Three or four sweet potatoes fell near the transport vehicle. When Sister Goose saw this, she was so frightened that she almost lost her mind. There was no time to run away, so she quickly crawled under the vehicle and covered her head with her hands.

"Boom! Boom boom boom!"

One explosion after another rang out around Sister Goose. She felt as if her eardrums had been shattered, but she dared not relax for a moment and tried her best to lie flat on the ground, becoming one with the earth.

The force of a raw sweet potato (a hand grenade, or a ground potato as explosive) is upward, and the shrapnel also floats upward, with the aim of severely injuring infantry.

She felt the car above her shake violently several times, but she didn't look up until the ringing in her ears subsided before she crawled out from under the car.

The escort vehicle was already on fire. There were fire extinguishers on the assault vehicle, and two uninjured uniformed soldiers were spraying dry powder and foam at the fire.

Sister Goose rushed to the transport vehicle, ignoring the fact that it was on fire and could explode at any moment. She peered through the window and was surprised to find that the Nine-Tailed Fox was still alive. She was kicking the door, trying to get out of the smoke-filled vehicle.

Good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years!
After a moment of reflection, Sister Goose returned to her trunk, retrieved her fire extinguisher, and joined the firefighting effort.

The arriving PTU mobile unit took a crowbar from the assault vehicle and pried open the deformed door to allow the thick smoke inside to escape.

Thick smoke billowed out through the pried-open gap, choking the officers who were carrying out the rescue and causing them to cough.

The crowbar slowly pried open the car door, and a person jumped in. He unlocked the chains on the nine-tailed fox's hands and feet, dragged out the fox that had already been knocked unconscious by the fumes, and then came to Ben.

Reinforcements and ambulances have arrived. Two Flying Tigers members escorted Nine-Tailed Fox to a hospital near the Wan Chai headquarters. Sister Goose sent two uninjured men to accompany and protect her.

Today's losses are too great. If I hadn't saved the life of the nine-tailed fox, I could have just shed this skin and gone home to be a wife and mother.

After arranging everything, Sister Goose walked over to the two men who had already died. She felt her legs go weak, so she sat down on the ground, lifted the white sheet on the stretcher and took a look. She found that there was no way to save them. Their chests were already crushed, and they had stopped breathing when they were hit the ground.

Sitting on the ground, she reached into her pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, put them in her mouth and lit three cigarettes, one for each of her two brothers whose faces were covered with white cloths.

The uniformed soldiers cleaning up the mess didn't offer any comfort to the slightly fragile Sister Goose. To put it bluntly, being a soldier and receiving a salary means selling your life to the police. If you're lucky, you might never encounter this situation in your life, but if you're unlucky, the prospect of selling salted duck eggs will inevitably come to you sooner or later.

Therefore, this hurdle can only be overcome by oneself.

After sitting for three minutes, Sister Goose regained her strength. She got up from the ground, but the car was wrecked and couldn't be driven. She had to get into the police van and go to the hospital.

If the professor knows that the Nine-Tailed Fox is not dead, she will definitely arrange a second attack, and she must protect the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Fortunately, the nine-tailed fox was not seriously injured. After receiving a bag of replacement drugs, she was immediately taken back to the Wan Chai headquarters and locked in the highest-level cell, a cell directly managed by the Political Department.

The speedboat arrived in Tuen Mun and stopped in front of the small pier at the waste treatment plant.

Xizai, who was standing in front of the dock, took the three large suitcases and then pulled Chi Mengli ashore.

"Congratulations to you two for becoming millionaires in a single day. Regardless of how much is in these three boxes, you will each receive five million."

After a long day, as the sun set, Chi Mengli felt a bit tired. She stretched and prepared to go back to the hotel for a good night's sleep.

Hearing that five million had been deposited, Xi Ren smiled happily, but then she looked at Professor K standing to the side, coughed lightly, and reminded Chi Mengli that there was still a big problem beside her.

Professor K is a formidable figure that Chi Mengli dares not forget. He is a great treasure, but also a hot potato that must be handled properly.

"Is Xi-zai's room ready?"

Chi Mengli looked at Xizai standing to the side and asked if his custom-made room was ready.

Xizai nodded quickly and said decisively, "Brother Sheng, everything is ready. I guarantee that no one else will ever think of this."

A long time ago, Chi Mengli watched a movie with a very imaginative plot but a terrible storyline. The plot was about an escape expert who helped test security vulnerabilities in prisons across the United States.

It stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I heard there were two movies in total. I heard the second one starred the cult leader, but I haven't seen it myself.

After watching this movie, he pondered a question: Is there really a prison in this world that one can never escape?

He thought about this idea for a long time and realized that there might not be a prison that was 100% safe. However, he did think of a prison that was not easy to be discovered, which could meet the normal life needs of the detainees and also be absolutely safe.

"Professor K, I don't believe a word you say, not a single one."

“But my boss Robin has been incredibly kind to me, and I must avenge him. I just want to know who ordered the killing of my boss Robin.”

“Ah Cong will stay here with you for one night. If you don’t tell me everything you know tonight, I will lock you in the water coffin. Believe me, you will be very desperate living in it.”

"See you tomorrow!"

Chi Mengli gestured for Professor K to walk into the waste treatment plant. If nothing unexpected happened, this ghostly woman would be living in this factory for some time.

“We didn’t want to kill Robin. Robin is the foot. We’ve cooperated many times and have a good relationship. It’s Song Sheng who wants to kill Robin.”

Professor K, who had been silent all along, spoke up as he passed by Chi Mengli.

"I don't believe what a survivor says, because there are lies in their words."

"have a good rest!"

Chi Mengli still had a warm smile on her face and gestured for Acong to take Professor K away.

After Ah Cong and Professor K left, Xi Ren said, "Brother Sheng, Professor K has the secret formula for Blue Blood. I have many clients who like Blue Blood and are willing to pay a lot of money for it."

"Do you need me to help you make the contact?"

Chi Mengli shook her head. Professor K would definitely have to be handed over to Guo Guohao, otherwise the two of them, Nine-Tailed Fox and Boxing King Sheng, wouldn't be able to handle Professor A.

But Professor K couldn't hand it over himself; the accusation of being tainted by imperial power and becoming a traitor was too much for his young shoulders to bear.

"Brother Sheng, Lao Ding wants you to go to Ruixing Mahjong Hall. That bastard, Boxing King Sheng, has been arrested by the cops. I heard that this bastard had a secret accounting room, and the cops caught him while he was putting money in there."

Xizai repeated Lazy Bing's words verbatim.

"Okay! I understand, Adong. You go back to Tuodi to take charge. Also, send those three suitcases back to Tuodi. Everything will remain the same!"

"Xi Ren, take the information in my backpack back to the hotel and study it carefully to see if there are any useful clues."

A stronghold needs a powerful figure to oversee it, and Spinach East is the most suitable person to be its guard dog. Chi Mengli gave a brief instruction and told the two scoundrels around him to get busy, while he got into his Volvo and headed to Shanghai Road.

By the time we arrived at Shanghai Road, the sun had already set, and all the colorful light bulb signs were lit up.

Chi Mengli stood in front of Ruixing Sparrow House, but did not go in. Instead, he sent Xizai to the tea restaurant next door to pack some dinner for himself. All day long, he had only eaten a pineapple bun in the morning and drunk a bottle of mineral water on the boat. His stomach was already rebelling!
Xizai returned quickly, holding a chicken sandwich and a cup of bubble tea.

Chi Mengli stood at the entrance of Ruixing Sparrow Pavilion, finished her sandwich in two or three bites, and let out a satisfied burp.

Boxing King Sheng's illegal betting business was one of Song Sheng's sources of income. Now that Boxing King Sheng has been arrested and the evidence is conclusive, given his unparalleled loyalty and integrity, he will definitely be a witness for the prosecution.

If Song Sheng didn't want to be implicated, he would have to get the boxing champion released. But no matter how resourceful Song Sheng was, he couldn't get the boxing champion released through normal channels. As for the option of attacking the Wan Chai headquarters, it never even crossed Chi Mengli's mind.

Although Hong Kong is just a city, even if the top leader leaves Hong Kong and returns to London, he might not be able to book a private room at a high-end members-only restaurant. But attacking the Wan Chai headquarters wasn't just a slap in the face to the cops, it was a slap in the face to Dai Ying.

Although Britain is no longer the global superpower that treats the four oceans like a bathtub, the agents of MI6 are no pushovers.

To win against the massive machine of the state, the only way is to exploit loopholes and make the machine believe that the cost of eliminating you cannot cover your intrinsic value. This is also one of the essential ways for criminals to survive.

If Song Sheng didn't have Alzheimer's, he wouldn't have made such a depraved choice.

There's no way to rescue him legally, nor will we resort to force to get him out of the Wan Chai headquarters. So there's only one option left: silence him forever.

If I'm not mistaken, the reason Shenxian Jin sought me out was also for this matter.

After taking two sips of bubble tea, Chi Mengli threw the rest of the cup into the trash can and went into Ruixing Sparrow House alone.

Today, Viper Ming wasn't there; the person in charge was one of his henchmen. When Chi Mengli entered, he quickly called out, "Brother Sheng!" and picked up the walkie-talkie to report to the people upstairs.

Nodding as a greeting, Chi Mengli walked to the elevator, took it, and arrived at the third floor.

Lazy Bing waited in front of the elevator. Chi Mengli saw that it was an old friend and tossed him a Double Happiness cigarette. The two stood in front of the elevator, puffing away. They knew they couldn't smoke inside the conference room, so they decided to have a good smoke in the corridor.

"This meeting is of utmost importance."

"Ma Wangjian has arrived, as have Lan Lai from the Haojiang branch, Jin Suanpan from the treasury, and Zha Shu Bai Gusheng. Now we're just waiting for you."

Handsome Sheng is his good brother, and of course, he has to share some inside information with his good brother. Lazy Bing, seeing that there were no other people around, revealed the names of all the attendees in the meeting room to Handsome Sheng.

Lan Lai was the head of the Haojiang branch, but there was only one seat in the water room, so Lan Lai was the second-in-command of the water room. The later North and South Water Rooms were the water room bosses that the Haojiang branch had won over in charge of the high seas sightseeing gambling ships, and they called themselves the South Water Room.

The instigator of the split, Hundred Flower Snake, was quickly kicked out, clearly making herself a pawn in someone else's game.

Lan Lai was from a prominent family; his father was a major general in the Republic of China. However, Lan Lai did not go to Hong Kong but went to Macau because his father had bought property in Macau in his early years. The Lan family thus escaped a disaster, as the Japanese did not attack Macau due to diplomatic reasons.

His sister became the gambling king's second wife, and Lan Lai's status rose accordingly, becoming the gambling king's right-hand man.

Jin Suanpan is in charge of the treasury and rice washing. He is elusive and rarely seen. Chi Mengli has been in the water room for almost four years, but has never seen Jin Suanpan.

As for Ma Wangjian, as his nickname suggests, he is known as the King of Ma Lan, the King of Hong Kong's business district, and the first generation of Hong Kong gangsters to embrace the spirit of the Internet. Ma Wangjian believes that renting a house is a heavy asset investment and not worthwhile.

If you're going to open a car dealership, you have to open it on the main street. That way, it's easy to get customers, and you don't even need a bed. In Ma Wangjian's area where street girls gather, there's always a van. If you want to have some fun, just get in the van.

The father of Hong Kong's veteran drivers!
Sometimes, Chi Mengli feels inferior because she is not eccentric enough and doesn't fit in with her colleagues.

"Holy crap! Where are Gao Laofa, Mang Heng, and Baihua She? Those three are Lao Ding's trusted confidants. Boxing King Sheng was beaten, and they didn't even show up. It's really weird! Something's up!"

Although Chi Mengli expressed her curiosity, she knew exactly what was going on. The people in the meeting room were probably the core members of the water room, and like herself, they all had special professional codes and were in charge of the water room's core business.

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"Alright! Stop smoking and get inside now."

Lazy Bing took the cigarette out of Chi Mengli's mouth, threw it on the ground, stomped it out, and told his good brother to hurry up and go into the meeting room.

"Damn it! You're more annoying than my mother!"

Chi Mengli straightened her clothes, then knocked on the door and walked into the conference room.

The meeting room was also shrouded in gloom. Besides Shenxian Jin, Baigu Sheng, and Ma Wang Jian, there were two unfamiliar faces, who should be Lan Lai and Jin Suanpan.

"Ah Sheng, what have you been busy with? I haven't seen you all day!"

Impatiently waiting, Shenxian Jin coughed, flicked his cigarette ash, and asked irritably.

"Old Ding, Uncle Sheng, Brother Jian!"

"My boss invited me to go out to sea for a fish raft trip. We made the appointment last month. It was a lively day before I finally got off the boat."

"Old Ding, you were looking for me?"

Chi Mengli casually pulled over a chair, sat down, slapped the cigarette case and lighter from her pocket onto the table, crossed her legs, and said lazily.

"Alright! Everyone's here! Ah Sheng, let me introduce you."

"Brother Sheng, nicknamed 'Third Counter,' will take charge of all the banks in the Cayman Islands after December."

“Ma Wangjian, nickname: Knife Hand, is in charge of everyone's safety. You two are old acquaintances. I heard you often go to Ah Jian's streetwalker to accompany the boss.”

"The bespectacled guy is Jin Suanpan, nicknamed 'Five Counters,' and he's in charge of the silver furnace."

"The last one is Lan Lai, nickname: Boatman, the one in charge of the boat."

"Let me reintroduce you all. This is Handsome Sheng, the future Double Flower Red Stick of Shui Fang. Nicknames: Patrol Horse, Messenger, Warehouse, specializing in delivery."

"There are only five of us in Hong Kong now. The remaining dozen or so brothers are not in Hong Kong. They are scattered all over the world, managing the business for Shui Fong."

"After this month, I will be the head of the business again, serving as both the owner and the manager. This is the rule of the water room, and I don't think anyone has any objections, right?"

After Shenxian Jin finished speaking, he looked around at the five people present, wanting to know what these losers were really thinking. As long as these people in the meeting room did not object, he would have no problem winning the championship again.

Congratulations, Lao Ding!

"."

The people present all clapped perfunctorily, looking impatient, waiting for Shenxian Jin to get down to business.

"The cops have exposed Boxing King Sheng, but this has its pros and cons. After all, this scoundrel Boxing King Sheng has done a lot of things behind our backs. His henchman has been exposed, and Antenna Bro interrogated him and found out that Boxing King Sheng secretly ran three underground betting stations."

"And the financial company messed up the accounts of the branch and embezzled a lot of money."

"The recent thunderstorms in the Tuo Di and Yau Ma Tei triads are also related to the boxing champion Sheng. It must have been this bastard who hired someone to do it!"

"The boxing champion Sheng can no longer be allowed to live!"

Boxing champion Sheng's accounts were beyond repair. After checking the accounts, Bai Gusheng returned and said that the Central branch now had a huge hole of more than 30 million.

This kind of liability, Shenxianjin absolutely cannot be allowed to remain; we must use swift and decisive measures to eliminate this scoundrel.

"Ah Da, the boxing champion can't find the triad lawyer. The cops have already kicked out the top lawyer we hired. The triad lawyer said this is the first step to becoming a witness for the prosecution."

"Now that boxing champion Sheng is clearly going to be a traitor! Besides, even if we take him down now, who will take the blame for the more than 30 million yuan?"

Bai Gusheng will be stepping down as head of the organization in a month. He is absolutely unwilling and will not agree to let the head of the organization take the blame for the Central District incident. This money is his own, his retirement money, and his life savings.

Anyone who tries to take it will be fought to the bitter end, even the Divine Brocade.

Boxing King Sheng is Shen Xian Jin's trusted confidant. If something happens to him, Shen Xian Jin has to take responsibility.

“This 30 million is a small matter. The old connections of the boxing champion Sheng in charge of the southern route are very tense. They are all important figures. If something goes wrong, it will be bad for everyone’s reputation.”

"Old Ding, several old connections at the banks have also sent people over to ask if the arrest of Boxing King Sheng will affect everyone!"

As long as the old customers are there, the 30 million can be earned back in no time. But if the old relationship is affected because the boxing champion becomes a witness for the prosecution, then he deserves to die!
Jin Suanpan coughed and turned the conversation back to washing rice, saying that this was the most urgent matter.

"Jianzi, is there any way?"

Shen Xianjin looked at Ma Wangjian sitting to the side, wanting to hear his opinion.

"There is a way, but it's very difficult!"

"But we've made things too passive. Before Black Impermanence left, he said that Quan Wang Sheng wasn't the mastermind of the water room, but rather Song Sheng's henchman. Song Sheng used Quan Wang Sheng and the professor to win too many times this time, and we still have to clean up Song Sheng's mess."

"This matter cannot be left like this. We must let Song Sheng experience what it means to be crushed by a boulder, and let him know that offending our water room will come with its own set of consequences."

Having expressed his stance, Ma Wangjian fell silent, crossed his arms, and looked at Shen Xianjin, awaiting the decision of the person in charge.

“Ah Sheng, haven’t you been looking for the person who killed Robin? Song Sheng is the mastermind behind it all. Oak International Terminal is Song Sheng’s future business. Make some noise about it.”

"But remember, we need to use words, not violence. If Song Sheng wants to take over the Oak International Terminal, he'll have to see if our water room agrees!"

Being a coward and admitting defeat is not Shenxian Jin's style of dealing with people. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, must make Song Sheng feel the pain.

"Old Ding, you know far too many secrets. I only want to avenge my boss Robin. I'll help you this time, but you should also tell me the secrets you know!"

The name "Auk International Terminal" sounds familiar to Chi Mengli, but that's not important. He can do things, but only in exchange for something of equal value.
