Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 8 Raymond: I still need to thank them?!
As night fell, Victoria Harbour was bustling with activity, bright lights and vibrant lights, and a gentle sea breeze blew, intoxicating the audience. However, this sea breeze could not dispel the anxiety that filled Han Chen's face.

He had been driving alone since 8 p.m., and had been driving nonstop for two hours. The kidnappers on the other end of the phone had already changed locations four times, and every time he called back after arriving, they would notify him of the new location. This feeling of not knowing where to end, not knowing what the future held, constantly tormented Han Chen, making him feel extremely tormented.

At this moment, the phone rang again: "No. XXX, Xia Que Road..."

Han Chen didn't dare to complain at all, and braked suddenly to turn around, but took the opportunity to emphasize:
"Boss, I can assure you I didn't call the police! I did exactly what you requested. 1200 million in non-consecutive cash, each worth 500 yuan! I just want my wife to be safe!"

The person on the other end ignored him and hung up the phone, causing Han Chen to sigh.

He stayed up all night last night. To raise the 1200 million yuan, he knelt down and begged Ni Yongxiao as soon as they met, completely selling his future to the Ni family. He didn't know what would happen in the future, he just hoped that he could save his wife this time!
Harcourt Road Flyover is the first vehicular viaduct on Hong Kong Island, connecting the east and west directions and spanning the Admiralty Centre and the Hong Kong City Hall.

When the car slowly stopped, Han Chen picked up the phone again, then looked up at the overpass in front of him that was more than 5 meters above the ground. He immediately perked up, and his intuition told him that the real show might be about to begin!
"Turn your headlights on and off, flashing every 3 seconds without interruption."

Han Chen did as he was told, and a moment later, he saw a hanging basket slowly descending from the bridge.

Seeing this, Han Chen also understood that the other party was very cautious. Even if he had an ambush or even police following him, they would be unable to do anything to the robbers on the bridge with the overpass more than 5 meters high. However, he had not intended to play tricks.

"Put the money in the hanging basket."

Han Chen picked up the box from the car and walked to the hanging basket, but stopped at this moment:
"Where's my wife?"

"I told you, if you pay the money, your wife will return safely."

"I want to talk to my wife and make sure she is okay now." Han Chen's attitude was extremely firm at this time.

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, the person replied, "Okay."

Ye Dongsheng passed the mobile phone to Mary's ear. She sobbed and called out "Brother Chen" and then said, "No, I was blindfolded the whole time and didn't see their faces."

Ye Dongsheng thought that Han Chen still had some brains. If Mary had seen the robber's face, the possibility of being killed would greatly increase.

Ye Dongsheng took back the phone: "Brother Chen, don't worry, we are professionals. You should know that cooperating with us is the right thing to do."

He wasn't trying to trick Han Chen. Anyone who'd been kidnapped knew that obediently paying the kidnappers was the best way for a hostage to survive.

Taking representatives from Hong Kong and Taiwan as an example, whether it was the case of Li Huanggua’s eldest son Li Zezhu or the kidnapping case of Wu Dongliang in Taiwan, the people were released safely after paying money. The police’s successful rescue of hostages was filmed into the movie because it is so rare.

It is said that when Li Zeju was kidnapped, Li Huanggua called the police chief for advice, and the police chief suggested that he pay money and cooperate.

Han Chen let out a long sigh and without hesitation, he put the box containing 1200 million into the hanging basket and watched it being pulled onto the bridge. Then he heard the sound of a car starting and driving away from the bridge.

"I've given you the money, but where's my wife?"

"Hehe, wait for my call."

The call was hung up again. Han Chen clutched the cell phone tightly and could only stand in the night and pray.

……

In the Commissioner's office at West Kowloon Police Station, Uncle Po and Commissioner Raymond looked gloomy and sat in silence.

The two weren't troubled by the slow progress of the case. Quite the contrary, they had made a significant discovery within a day. However, this discovery made Director Raymond feel worse than if he had eaten a fly:
After their investigation and verification in all aspects, as well as the confession of Zhu Tao's secretary Malena, it was found that Inspector Wen Jianren, who had died in the line of duty fighting gangsters and was intended by the police to be promoted as a martyr, was actually a corrupt cop bribed by the dictator Zhu Tao!

No wonder there were originally 5 people blocking the intersection, but everyone else was sent away, leaving only Wen Jianren alone. No wonder Zhu Tao wanted to escape from Wen Jianren!

Uncle Piao smiled bitterly and said:
"Fortunately, the press release hasn't been sent out yet. Otherwise, if the truth were to come to light, we'd be humiliated..." "Director, if it weren't for those three thugs, Zhu Tao might have gotten away. And we didn't even know there was a mole among us..."

Raymond frowned and slammed the table:
"You mean I should thank them? Give them a certificate of good citizenship?!"

Raymond is very annoyed now. The action against Zhu Tao that he had planned for a long time has now become a complete mess.

Zhu Tao certainly deserved his death, but this was a real bummer for the police station. Since they hadn't caught him red-handed, they couldn't even convict him! The outside media would only rant about the murder of Zhu Tao, a law-abiding businessman!

We can only wait for sufficient evidence and the testimony of Zhu Tao's secretary Selena to confirm Zhu Tao's crimes and give the outside world a rough explanation.

Moreover, so many people died at the scene. If the case is not solved, I will not be able to explain to the outside world and my superiors, and I will always be labeled as incompetent!
Not to mention that now that Wen Jianren has been discovered as a traitor, his superiors will inevitably hold him, the director, accountable for poor management and negligence.

Uncle Piao quickly waved his hands: "Director, what I mean is that I now really think Ka Kui is right. This gang of thugs may really have a strong sense of justice. They must be from a special profession, either police or soldiers."

"Huh? So you didn't even believe what you said in the meeting yesterday?!"

Uncle Piao laughed. "Yesterday, it was just a guess! And I've already arranged to check the personnel records of the police force and the police academy. But if it's a soldier, it's not easy to check..."

As we all know, Hong Kong Island only has police officers, no soldiers. Soldiers can only come from the mainland!

Raymond adjusted his glasses and said, "I've asked Ka Kui to find out information from the Big Circle Gang's informant."

Uncle Piao immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "Director is still smart!"

Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang, and it was Chen Jiaju:
"Director! I heard a piece of information. The human smuggling head, Aliang, went out with his confidants this afternoon and hasn't returned yet. He also brought his weapons with him!"

Raymond's mind moved. Many mainland tourists relied on these human traffickers to sneak into Hong Kong. Those who were involved in the human trafficking business usually stayed in their own nests and rarely got involved in the gang fights in Hong Kong Island. It was indeed abnormal that they suddenly came out in full force this time. He had a hunch that it might be related to the three violent gangsters who suddenly appeared!
"Ka Kui, do everything you can to find out what this group of people are doing!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

Outside the abandoned factory, several figures approached. The man in the lead had a face thick with flesh, and at first glance, he was not a kind person. In fact, as a human trafficker, the ship was his kingdom, and he had indeed committed many evil deeds such as rape, robbery, and even murder. It was a coincidence that his name also contained the word "Liang" (Liang).

Liang, who was begging for food on the water, had always been aloof from what was happening on the shore, but this time, Wolf offered him too much. He paid 50 yuan for killing two people, and they were mainland Chinese smugglers. He killed them and dumped their bodies into the sea, and even the police didn't bother to do anything!
A younger brother came back and whispered, "Brother Liang, I checked, and the small door on the side is indeed open."

Ah Liang nodded when he heard this, stretched out his hand and nodded twice: "You two, guard the outside."

"Brother Liang, there are only two of us. We both have weapons. Why should we be so cautious?"

"What nonsense! Both of our targets are tough former soldiers, so buckle up! 2 each after we finish this!"

After saying that, Aliang sneaked in with the remaining four people. After seeing the three people in the center of the factory, he muttered a few words to his men. After they dispersed and ambushed, he also leaned down in the dark.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Aliang shuddered, feeling a chill on his back.

He looked around for a few times, it was pitch black, then shook his head, his eyes passing through the crosshairs of the gun and aiming at Ye Dongsheng!
