Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 415, Section 192: The Auction is Over (The Second Day of Repentance)
(The graphics card was displaying a garbled image, and I spent the whole morning trying to fix it without success. I had to dig out the spare machine and reinstall the system.)
Because of the close proximity, blood also smeared Chi Mengli's face. He wiped his face, looked at Duffy who had come out, and said with a smile, "Miss, what do you want to say?"

Duffy, who also understood Mandarin, paused for a moment before saying quite naturally, "I wanted to remind you that shooting someone in the head with a shotgun is not a good idea!"

"Getting your clothes dirty is a minor issue; the real problem is accidentally hurting yourself."

He humbly accepted the well-intentioned reminder, smiling and nodding in gratitude.

"Ex-mother-in-law, someone wants to see you. I'm just running errands. Please, Mother-in-law, be magnanimous and kind enough to let me off the hook for this little thing! Don't make things too difficult for me!"

Hennessy wanted Anna Clijsters, and he wanted her alive.

With all of their own people present, it was indeed not a good idea for Chi Mengli to kill someone to silence them. As the saying goes, "Wildfire cannot burn it all, and the spring breeze will bring it back to life." Having someone outside who harbors resentment towards you is not a good thing.

Holding a sharp blade, murderous intention arises.

Chi Mengli's finger was on the trigger, ready to send his former mother-in-law, who was missing an arm and a leg, down to reunite with Ruan Wen.

Duffy sensed the murderous aura emanating from the man before him and, fearing he might ruin his plans, immediately gave a wink to the MI6 agent behind him. He then stepped forward, blocking Anna Kreigis's path, and said with a smile, "From now on, no one will bother you."

“My mother will spend her whole life in the secret prison of the North Sea. Unless my mother is a druid elf from Celtic mythology who can turn into a sperm whale, she will never have the chance to meet you in this lifetime.”

The foreigner standing on the other side nodded, vouching for Duffy and guaranteeing that it wasn't a lie.

Hearing this, Chi Mengli lowered her finger from the trigger, looking sad, and replied, "I'm as good as Ruan Wenqing. Her mother is my former mother-in-law, so I should have treated her well."

"But family ties cannot supersede the law, so this is the only way."

"Brothers, lend a hand, do something kind, help Mrs. Anna into her wheelchair, and we can leave."

"Be more discerning. My ex-mother-in-law is a woman who can fight tigers on mountains and capture dragons at sea. Don't be blinded and get scammed!"

Upon hearing Chi Mengli's order, one of the water room disciples who were facing off with guns stepped forward. He handed the shotgun in his hand to his brothers and began to search Anna Krejci. They actually found a dagger and a miniature self-defense pistol with one bullet and one reload hidden in the prosthetic leg.

The water room disciple in charge of the body search handed the dagger and pistol to Chi Mengli, who was in control of the situation, before carrying Anna Kreigis into the wheelchair.

Neither the miniature pistol nor the dagger had any elaborate patterns, so they shouldn't be ordinary items. Chi Mengli fiddled with them for a few moments, then stuffed them into his pocket. With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to retreat.

The direction of the shotgun muzzle in front of her had never changed. Duffy knew there was no possibility of negotiation between the two sides. She could only mutter a few words to the foreigner from MI6, open the box she had prepared in advance, and take out a pair of handcuffs with a case inside.

Chi Mengli recognized this thing, since she had just removed the collar from her neck. However, the one the foreigner was holding was more exquisite, unlike the one she had just been wearing, which was a half-finished product.

"These are handcuffs. I hope Brother Sheng can do me a favor."

Duffy said sweetly, wanting Chi Mengli to allow her to put the handcuffs on Anna Kreigis, so that everything would be settled.

Looking at Duffy's face, which resembled Ruan Wen's, Chi Mengli shook her head without hesitation. These ghost women are all cunning and scheming. They're just following the same old path. Let's just forget about them!
"Of course not!"

"I'm simple-minded; I can only remember one person at a time. Let me make this clear upfront: whoever stands in my way is my enemy, and I'll blast them to smithereens! Pretty girls are no exception!"

"Brothers, let's go back and have some tea!"

Chi Mengli deliberately spoke with a trailing tone, telling this ghostly woman who looked just like Ruan Wen to get lost. She pointed her short-range shotgun behind cover and began to fall backward step by step.

The disciples in the water room retreated one by one, while Chi Mengli stood alone in front of the entrance to the tunnel, her eyes fixed on Duffy and the foreigner, not daring to relax for a moment.

Even though she had been tricked, Duffy maintained a smile. Only after everyone in the washroom had left did she speak, saying, "Mr. Orange, it seems our plan to kill my mother has completely failed."

"However, we didn't really come away empty-handed!"

At this point, Duffy shut his mouth, clapped his hands forcefully, and ordered his men to carry out his father, who had fallen into a coma.

Sending off his own mother and binding his own father to his own family—truly the most filial son throughout history!

The foreigner had a sly smile on his face. He glanced at Mendes, whose eyes were closed, and replied with a smile, "It is indeed a bit difficult to abduct Anna from MI6."

"However, Mr. Mendes controls the contraband sales network in the 5th, 11th, and 15th arrondissements of Paris. That alone is enough to keep us busy for a while."

“Miss Duffy, our support for you is not unlimited. We hope you win the battle for the inheritance of the Cligis family, otherwise, the council will propose to terminate your loan.” The foreigner glanced at his men and ordered them to take Mendes, this heavyweight figure in the French underworld, away.

It's all over now, it's time to leave!
Duffy, standing to the side, was very excited about the game that was about to begin. She loved fighting and even more so, she loved winning!

"boom"

Gunshots rang out from inside the tunnel, and Duffy and the foreigner looked towards the tunnel where a flash of fire had just passed.

Chi Mengli fired the gun. After falling back more than ten meters, he saw that Duffy and the others had not followed, so he waved for the water room disciples to leave, and then pulled the trigger, making a show of force.

It's unclear whether the tiger outside the tunnel was startled, but this tiger coming down the mountain was certainly shaken so badly that its ears were ringing.

Here's another life tip: don't put a gun inside a circular pipe.

The group quickly exited the tunnel. Anna Keligis saw Chi Mengli emerge from the tunnel and immediately said, "Let me go, and all my savings in the Flag Bank are yours—thirty million francs. You could never earn that much in your entire life."

"No! I can earn it!"

“You may not know how much of an inheritance your precious daughter left me. With the foundation laid by Nguyen Van, I might become one of Hong Kong’s top ten progressive youths.”

"Send the man to Old Ding!"

"Don't believe what this wicked woman says. This bastard is a crocodile. If you get hit, it'll be worse than growing cauliflower. There won't even be any bone fragments left!"

There's a mountain of gold waiting for him to take over in Hong Kong; a mere thirty million francs is nothing to Chi Mengli.

However, this old witch's mouth is very persuasive, so it's best to shut it up and not let these losers around us fall for her trap.

Thinking of this, he beckoned with his finger, telling his henchmen to find something and put it in Anna Krejci's mouth, so that the damned bastard wouldn't continue to tempt people.

Those who can become gangsters all have some skills. These scoundrels couldn't find anything to gag them, so one of them had a sudden inspiration. He took off his shoes and socks, rolled them up, and stuffed them into Anna Kreigis's mouth.

The myriad schemes of a wise man are no match for the sudden inspiration of a madman.

Even from half a meter away, Chi Mengli could smell the stench emanating from the scoundrel's feet. She felt as if she had been punched in the eye, and her tear ducts were constantly secreting tears.

Too much!
To protect her tear ducts, Chi Mengli quickly waved her hand, signaling someone to push Anna Keligis, who was already on the verge of rolling her eyes, away.

The people from the water room had already started cleaning up the battlefield, and plainclothes officers from the Political Department had also entered the scene. They were watching what the people from the water room were doing. This was also the most harmonious day for Hong Kong police officers and gangsters.

Chi Mengli took out a cigarette from his pocket, put one in his mouth, borrowed a lighter to light it, and then slowly walked up to Wen Gui and Shen Xianjin.

Hennessy held the photograph in his hand, compared it to Anna Keligis's face, pinched it with his hand, and only felt relieved when he saw that it was her real face. Then he took out a knife, pricked Anna Keligis's finger, and dripped the blood into a test tube that had been prepared beforehand.

The blood was dripped into the test tube, and the pale yellow liquid reacted immediately. He shook it vigorously, and the pale yellow liquid turned blood red after three seconds.

MI6 has a wide range of methods; they even use DNA testing to identify individuals.

Seeing the chemical reaction in the test tube, Hennessy nodded, put the test tube in his pocket, had someone take Anna Clijsters away, patted the painting twice, and then turned and left.

The implication was too obvious!
That damn Westerner wants both face and substance, he's a real scoundrel!
Shen Xianjin cursed inwardly before smiling and looking at Chi Mengli, who was smoking beside her, and said, "Uncle Gui has already taken the speedboat back to Hong Kong. I have already put your two men on the boat."

“Ah Tung is so loyal, he’s practically turned Yau Ma Tei upside down. You should go back soon, and Ah Tung will feel at ease.”

"It's almost dawn. Tomorrow we'll be worshipping the gods at eight o'clock in the morning at the Lung Fu Temple in Central. That's the entrance to the temple. Come worship with me, Lao Ding."

The main gate of Shui Fong is the Lung Fook Temple in Central, while the main gate of Yau Ma Tei is the Tin Hau Temple.

However, the triads that make a living in Yau Ma Tei all have to offer incense and pay respects to the temple on the last day of the year, and burn the first incense on the first day of the new year.

The last time the horses were paraded through the streets, Shuifang made a big splash, but it didn't solidify Shuifang's position as the dominant power.

Chi Mengli understood what the immortal brocade meant: the first incense offering at the Tin Hau Temple in Yau Ma Tei must be offered by a disciple from the water room.
