Hong Kong Movie: At the beginning, Big Boss B asked me to draw the death lottery

Chapter 186 From then on, Hong Kong Island lost a tycoon and gained a haunted house.

Because the volume on the mobile phone was low, Guo Jinfeng couldn't hear what Xiao Ma said on the phone.

However, seeing Zhang Shih-hao's unpleasant expression, she also had some bad thoughts.

"I just asked Xiao Ma to drive him to Lau Fau Shan to catch a boat, how come... something happened?"

"Go to Lau Fau Shan? Ah Xun was taken away by the police halfway there!"

Zhang Shih-hao slammed down the phone, his face turning even uglier.

Seeing this, Guo Jinfeng quickly stepped forward to support his swaying body: "Brother Hao, what's wrong?"

Guo Jinfeng gasped, muttering repeatedly, "Ah Xun... Ah Xun has been arrested..."

"Brother Hao, Ah Xun shouldn't betray us, right? Should I go find a lawyer now?"

"What's the point of saying all this now?!"

Zhang Shih-hao slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly, veins bulging on his forehead: "We can't entrust our lives to whether our brothers are reliable or not!"
I've been to jail before and experienced firsthand how tough these cops can be!
"Quickly, pack your things right now, I'm leaving tonight!"

"Brother Hao, if you leave now, won't that just tell the police you're in trouble?"

"They know better than I do whether I'm in trouble or not!"

Zhang Shih-hao grabbed Guo Jin-feng's shoulder and said anxiously.

"Find a lawyer on Hong Kong Island and help Ah Xun deal with this slowly."

I'll go to the mainland to lay low for now. If Ah Xun can get away with it, or if he doesn't implicate me, I can come back later.

Jin Feng, this is something we can't risk. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback!

Guo Jinfeng nodded quickly, and then, following Zhang Shihao's instructions, went to prepare his travel essentials and clothing.

The rain outside the window was getting heavier, with large raindrops pounding against the glass with a rapid sound. Zhang Shihao stood by the window, looking at the blurred street scene through the rain, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the windowsill.

He felt something was off—the police action was too fast this time. He had just come out of jail when Ah Xun was dragged in, as if it had been planned all along.

An hour later, at a secluded little pier in Repulse Bay.

Zhang Shih-hao and Guo Chin-feng, wearing raincoats and carrying two heavy suitcases, hurriedly boarded a small fishing boat.

The captain was an old fisherman with a wrinkled face. He started the engine as soon as they boarded the boat.

The cabin reeked of fish and diesel fuel. Zhang Shih-hao covered his nose as he warily scanned the dark sea.

Thankfully, apart from the sound of rain, everything was peaceful.

The fishing boat slowly sailed away from the dock and was soon swallowed up by the rain.

"Brother Hao, how about I stay in Hong Kong Island and help your wife with things?"

Xiao Ma, who had boarded the ship with Zhang Shih-hao, approached Zhang Shih-hao and couldn't help but ask a question.

Zhang Shih-hao rolled his eyes: "You? Of all these brothers, you're the one I worry about the most!"

"Little Ma, if you fall into the hands of the cops, and if you can hold out for two days without telling them, I'll consider you brave!"

Seeing that Zhang Shih-hao had unwittingly belittled him once again, Xiao Ma couldn't help but purse his lips and lower his head.

"Just bear with it. Many places on the mainland are not necessarily worse than Hong Kong Island now."

With money, you can be happy anywhere!

Just as Zhang Shih-hao was comforting him, the boat suddenly slowed down, which made Zhang Shih-hao a little curious.

He crawled out of the cabin, ready to ask the captain for an explanation, but was suddenly surprised to find that the ship had rounded Victoria Harbour and was not heading towards the mainland at all.

The East Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier is just ahead!

"what happened?"

Zhang Shih-hao couldn't help but ask a question towards the wheelhouse, only to see the captain leading two men out of the cabin.

"Sorry, Brother Hao, the ship can't go to the mainland tonight."

Mr. He from Hengyao wants to see you, and there's nothing I can do about it!

……

About twenty minutes later, Zhang Shih-hao was blindfolded and taken to the Bijia Mountain villa area.

When the blindfold was removed, he saw He Yaozong sitting in front of him, holding a half-burnt red cigarette, looking him up and down.

"He...Mr. He..."

Zhang Shih-hao's lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to explain something.

But after thinking for a long time, he finally just greeted Zhang Shih-hao.

"Wow, Zhang Shih-hao, you're amazing! You've managed to run such a huge business all by yourself. You really are a genius at making money through shady means!"

He Yaozong's expression hardened as he said, "But even if you've made a fortune, do you know how much trouble your kidnapping case has caused me?!"

Inside the police station, Zhang Shih-hao might still be able to shout a few words.

But he knew that in front of He Yaozong, all evidence and laws were worthless. If the other party believed that he was the one who committed the kidnapping against the Li family, then he was the one who did it!
No matter how many excuses he makes, I'm afraid He Yaozong will throw himself into the sea tonight.

"Mr. He, I didn't expect this matter to cause you trouble..."

"Didn't expect that? Damn it, when Li Jiacheng tried to smear me, you must have been very happy hiding at home, right?"

You make the money, I'll take the blame? There's no such thing as a free lunch!

Zhang Shih-hao immediately panicked: "Mr. He, I swear to God!"
I remember you said before that you were confident you could be friends with him, and that Zhang Shih-hao would never betray a friend…

"Alright, I didn't call you here to listen to your nonsense."

To tell you the truth, the moment you boarded the ship, I sent someone to your house to have a chat with your wife.

I don't want to see anything happen to your wife. Do me a favor, and we'll be even!

Zhang Shih-hao quickly responded, "What is it?"

"Go to the Li family and talk to Li Jiacheng again."

"You think you're so tough? Can you really handle a tycoon like that? This time, I'll have Li Ka-shing clarify and explain that this matter has nothing to do with the beneficiaries of my housing estate relief scheme."

Zhang Shih-hao was in a dilemma.

He knew that even a clay figure has a temper, and the Li family had been very quick to pay the ransom he had demanded.

However, since the other party has kept their promise, and I have been bothering them again and again, I'm afraid Li Jiacheng will completely turn against me this time.

However, he doesn't seem to have a better solution right now.

The man sitting in front of her wouldn't understand much of her difficulties.

If this matter cannot be resolved, then Guo Jinfeng and I will likely be doomed...

"Mr. He, I agree to your conditions, I just hope you won't make things difficult for my wife!"

"Talking to someone like you is so easy and effortless."

As He Yaozong spoke, he snapped his fingers, and Qiu Gang'ao immediately walked in carrying a bag.

Zhang Shih-hao's gaze immediately fell on Qiu Gang-ao. After their eyes met once, he immediately recognized him as the mysterious man he had worked with twice before!

That icy coldness hidden deep in his eyes could never be faked!

"I've prepared the same 'equipment' for you as last time. We'll go to the Li family tonight."

Remember, what I want is a public statement from Li Ka-shing.

The rain continued late at night.

Zhang Shih-hao, wearing a heavy trench coat, stood once again in front of the Li family villa.

Unlike last time, this time there were at least six or seven fully armed security personnel at the entrance, all of whom pointed their guns at him.

"I want to see Li Jiacheng!"

Zhang Shih-hao shouted loudly, rain streaming down his face.

The security captain spoke a few words into the walkie-talkie, then replied coldly, "Mr. Li asked me to ask you, what do you think this place is?"

If you have the guts, detonate the explosives right here!

Zhang Shih-hao was stunned: "What did you say?"

The security captain remained unmoved: "If you don't dare to detonate it, next time he'll make sure you don't even have a chance to get up the mountain."

I'm giving you ten seconds to get out of here, or we'll shoot!

"Damn it! Do you guys think I wouldn't dare?!"

Zhang Shih-hao hadn't expected to be rejected so decisively. Not only could he not even get through to Li Jiacheng on the phone, but he also didn't even have the right to enter his villa.

"ten!"

The security captain had already begun the chilling countdown.

At the same time, the sound of hammers being pulled echoed throughout the scene. Zhang Shih-hao adjusted the explosives strapped to his trench coat, and a fierce internal struggle began to unfold within him.

Bang— But just as the security captain counted down to six, a loud gunshot suddenly rang out from the darkness.

A bullet tore through the rain and struck Zhang Shih-hao directly in the left arm.

The security captain, who was still counting, was surprised and hurriedly turned around to scrutinize his group of subordinates.

His expression was one of surprise and panic; clearly, he wanted to question his subordinates—who gave you permission to fire?!
The guns were not fired by the security guards, nor was it Zhang Shih-hao who pressed the detonator on the explosives on his body.

After the gunshots, as Zhang Shihao staggered and fell to the ground, a deafening roar suddenly erupted at the entrance of the Li family villa.

The high-yield explosives detonated on Zhang Shih-hao, blasting a hole in the towering wall at the gate, and engulfing all the security personnel present in the rising flames.

The security captain never imagined that Zhang Shih-hao would actually be so brave as to detonate the explosives!
At the same time, Li Jiacheng, sitting in his study, saw a bright light through the curtained window.

Immediately following was an explosion, and the powerful blast wave shattered the glass of the adjacent recreation room.

The bodyguards standing next to Li Jiacheng immediately became alert, drew their guns from their waists, and gave Li Jiacheng some instructions.

"Mr. Li, please go to the safe house immediately!"

"A thief who can demand a billion in a single request is truly extraordinary!"

Li Jiacheng didn't linger. He just muttered something, then quickly got up and prepared to follow the security guard to the safe house to wait for the police to arrive.

Now that things have come to this, there's nothing left for him to hide.

However, Li Jiacheng soon couldn't sit still any longer.

Before he could even step into the safe house of the villa, the sound of gunfire rang out again outside.

This caused even the usually composed Li Jiacheng to break out in a cold sweat.

It seemed these people were really here tonight to fight him to the death. The security team's gunfire shattered the tacit understanding between him and Zhang Shih-hao; these people were truly determined to risk their lives for him.

Li Jiacheng now deeply regrets why he compromised with Zhang Shih-hao in the first place.

The gunshots seemed to be right next to them. The bodyguards responsible for Li Jiacheng's personal safety didn't dare to think too much and just urged Li Jiacheng to go to the safe house in the basement as soon as possible.

Snapped--

Just as the two arrived in the hall one after the other, a gunshot rang out as if it were right next to them.

The shot came from the doorway. The chandelier in the hall was shattered by the bullet, and then the power supply to the house was cut off, plunging it into darkness.

Li Jiacheng was so terrified that he lost his sense of direction for a moment.

Just as he was wondering what to do, someone in the hall suddenly turned on a powerful flashlight and shone it in his direction.

The flashlight flashed only once before going out, followed immediately by another gunshot.

thump--

Li Jiacheng clearly heard the sound of a bullet piercing a skull and exploding, and then he heard the security guard next to him fall to the ground, his face splattered with sweet-smelling blood.

He felt he no longer had the courage to even stand firm.

In the business world, he is able to dominate.

Faced with life and death, he behaved no differently than an ordinary person.

Even for a tycoon like him, he values ​​life far more than ordinary people!

"Friend! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"You want money, right? Let me go, I'll give you whatever change you want!"

With his last moments of composure, Li Jiacheng shouted out these words in the darkness.

Unfortunately, his response was still a bullet fired from the barrel.

The conversation had no interest in talking to him. After a bullet pierced Li Jiacheng's throat, the speaker turned on the flashlight and quickly emptied the magazine into Li Jiacheng's still-standing body.

From the explosion at the entrance of the Deep Water Bay villa to Li Jiacheng's fall to the ground, less than a minute had passed.

From then on, Hong Kong Island lost a once-powerful real estate tycoon and gained a haunted house in Deep Water Bay that people feared...

The following morning, Hong Kong Island was shaken!
The front page of the Oriental Daily News featured a striking scarlet headline: "A notorious gangster massacres the Li family; a real estate tycoon dies in Deep Water Bay!"
The newsstand was crowded with citizens who came to watch the excitement.

"Uncle, are you going to buy it or not? If you're not going to buy it, don't flip through the pages. Others are waiting to buy!"

"Damn it! I've been doing installment payments for the Li family for so many years, and now that he's dead, I have to pay to see the spectacle?"

……

The diners in the tea restaurant whispered among themselves, clutching their newspapers: "They even dared to kill Mr. Li, are these people crazy?"

"I heard that Zhang Shih-hao himself was blown to pieces; he clearly came here to fight to the death!"

“You’re all wrong. I heard that Cheung Sai-ho is the leader of the Hop Shing Gang. Back then, when he robbed the armored truck at Kai Tak Airport, a group of his brothers fell into the hands of the police but did not betray him.”

Now that Li Jiacheng wants to kill his brother, he's willing to risk his life to stand up for him!

"What a truly righteous and chivalrous person..."

Fei Sha was sitting in the tea restaurant, stirring the rice noodle rolls on his plate.

Listening to a group of diners whispering among themselves, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"What's going on? These days, citizens actually show such respect for a gang leader. It's truly a sign of the world going to the dogs..."

Inside the Government Offices on Queensway in Central, Commissioner of Police Luk Ming-wah slammed his fist on the conference table.

"Within 24 hours, I want to see all of Zhang Shih-hao's henchmen kneeling in the interrogation room!"
This isn't some kind of revenge killing; this is clearly a terrorist attack!

The glasses rattled and clattered, and the CID superintendents fell silent.

What's the point of investigating now? All the evidence shows that Zhang Shih-hao, the instigator, was blown to pieces at the scene.

……

When Li Jiacheng's body, covered in a white sheet, was carried out of the villa, Li Zeju, staggering and supported by his bodyguards, helplessly avoided the barrage of reporters' cameras under the flashing lights of their cameras.

“My older brother will come back to take over Hutchison Whampoa’s affairs. If you have any questions, you can ask him…”

In Central, HSBC Chairman Sir Michael Sandberg, with a somber expression, announced to reporters: "Effective immediately, all evaluations of real estate projects in cooperation with the Li family will be suspended."

At the same time, He Yaozong made a timely phone call to Wei Yixin.

"Governor, have you read the newspaper?"

"He, if there's nothing important, I'm going to hang up now!"

Wilson's voice sounded weak and listless. The Hong Kong real estate market had tolled the death knell for his political career. He had long lost his will to fight and was just waiting for the transfer order to London.

"Of course it's serious business. Who is Li Jiacheng? He's practically the leader in Hong Kong's real estate industry right now."

These people have all been victims of vendettas similar to terrorist attacks. For the sake of Hong Kong's business environment, I think the Governor should lift some restrictions on security companies!

"What, are you kidding me?"
The restrictions on security companies on Hong Kong Island are already quite lenient. Are you trying to raise your own private army by removing even more restrictions?

"As you can see, the current restrictions are still too harsh. The security business that Li Jiacheng spends tens of millions of yuan every year to sign with Golden Shield Security Company is as fragile as paper under the attack of these ruthless bandits!"
Whether for the sake of the business environment or for the safety of Hong Kong Island, I think the Governor should consider my opinion!

"There are over 30,000 police officers on Hong Kong Island, which is more than enough to ensure safety!"

"But these 30,000 police officers failed to protect Li Jiacheng!"

"That's because he refused police protection. Okay, that's enough. This proposal will never pass through my hands!"

Wei Yixin then slammed down the phone.

……

Li Zhaoji stared at the ruins of the Li family villa on the TV screen, then suddenly smashed the remote control against the screen.

"Are there no reliable security companies these days?"
Contact He Yaozong immediately! Does his security company accept VIP orders now?

The butler whispered a reminder: "Mr. Li, Mr. He's offer... has tripled."

Walter Kwok grabbed the cigar cutter from the table, veins bulging on the back of his hand: "Give it to him. In my opinion, no security company in Hong Kong is more professional than him!"

The same scene is playing out in the homes of Hong Kong's wealthiest people.

In a private lounge at the Peninsula Hotel, more than ten wealthy individuals signed a petition demanding that the Hong Kong government allow security companies to be equipped with heavy weapons.

The waiter's hand trembled slightly as he held the coffee—he had never seen these important figures collectively show such alarm.

In less than half an hour, the petition was delivered to the Security Bureau, and then handed over by a commissioner to Wei Yixin.

Huo De is having lunch with Wei Yixin.

Upon seeing the petition, Hod's face showed an unprecedented solemnity.

“Mr. Governor, a lot of local capital is fleeing.”

We had an agreement with the mainland back then that if Hong Kong's economy encountered force majeure while under our control, they would have a legitimate reason to interfere in Hong Kong's affairs.

Huo De paused, scrutinized Wei Yixin's expression, and then cautiously added.

“London cannot stand idly by and watch this happen. The enemy’s military strength is insignificant in this struggle. I think we should relax the restrictions on security companies.”
