Rebirth in Hong Kong: The Tallest Tree Catches the Most Wind

Chapter 145 A Feast for the Eyes

Yingzai is a heavy smoker.

He was lighting a cigarette when paparazzi Jun snapped a photo of him, nearly causing him to drop the lighter.

"Hey, what's the rush?" Wu Tianyao held out a lighter. "Have a smoke first, then we can talk slowly."

When Yingzai saw Wu Tianyao personally helping him light the cigarette, he didn't dare to accept and quickly waved his hand.

Wu Tianyao chuckled and said, "It's alright, I've always valued talent."

Paparazzi Jun also chimed in: "Hey Yingzai, you're really getting good treatment. This is the first time I've ever seen Yao Ge light someone's cigarette."

He took the lighter and lit Yingzai's cigarette, but of course he couldn't actually let Wu Tianyao light it for him himself.

Yingzai was somewhat flattered. At Wu Tianyao's insistence, he quickly used both hands to shield himself from the flame and leaned forward to light the cigarette.

He took a deep drag and exhaled the smoke with a satisfied sigh.

A seasoned smoker feels much more energetic after taking a puff of cigarette.

That's right.

Yingzai touched his ponytail tied behind his head with both hands and kept talking: "Last time when I was eavesdropping at the New Beauty Nightclub, I caught Weng Jinghe making a phone call with the outside world."

"Afterwards, we also discovered that some foreigners were staking out outside our area from time to time. Yao-ge, you told us to keep a close eye on them, and we made a discovery very quickly."

"My men and I figured out their location. These foreigners are now living in rural houses in Tseung Kwan O."

"They usually stay at home and rarely go out. People come to bring them food from time to time. Yesterday, I saw that they seemed to have brought four pistols to the foreigners."

"The delivery person never followed; they always disappeared from the housing estates in Kwun Tong."

He squinted, bit down on a cigarette, unzipped his vest, and took out a brown paper envelope: "These are the photos we took while tracking them. They turned out pretty good. We managed to get two out of four people."

"It would be best if we could find their information, but I asked the police to help me check through a friend's connection, but I couldn't find any information."

Yingzai pushed the photos in front of Wu Tianyao: "This is all the information we have. There's nothing we can do about the rest."

"Oh, right."

Yingzai took out a piece of paper from his chest pocket: "We found this on the black market. The arms dealers confirmed that we bought four Black Star rifles and fifty bullets from them."

His vest had many pockets, and he pulled out a slip of paper from another pocket, pushing it in front of Wu Tianyao: "This is their exact hiding place."

Wu Tianyao narrowed his eyes, took out the photo from the kraft paper envelope, and quickly scanned it.

From what I remember.

These foreigners were all unfamiliar faces; Wu Tianyao couldn't recall ever seeing them.

Besides several photos of people's faces, there was also a photo of the door opening.

It's a bit blurry.

However, you can see a small wrist clip inside the room, and half of a combination lock knob.

Since these people are all around the New Beauty Nightclub, they are probably connected to Weng Jinghe here.

then.

Considering Wu Tianyao's background and Weng Jinghe's previous background, he was probably a foreigner from Mexico.

This information is quite important.

"it is good."

Wu Tianyao nodded affirmatively, put away the photo, turned around, opened his wrist clip, and took out a stack of banknotes.

"The brothers took this 80,000 yuan to have some tea. You did a great job. Thank you for your hard work."

The paparazzi, including Yingzai, are different from his underlings.

Although they are all doing things for themselves.

But as paparazzi, they naturally have to be paid for any work they produce.

If you don't pay your employees immediately after achieving results, why should they continue to support you?!

This is a waste of time.

It's better to follow and stake out those big stars.

Once they make a discovery, they can immediately sell the intelligence for money, so why would they need to follow it for you?!

In this regard, Wu Tianyao also made a special distinction, giving what was due immediately.

Only in this way.

Only then can paparazzi maximize their impact.

As for the paparazzi Jun, he was considered one of his inner circle's trusted associates.

He would be well paid, and Wu Tianyao would be paid without having to do anything.

Wu Tianyao suddenly remembered something: "Oh right, remember to check the financial statements for the consumption of consumables and the expenses for gathering information."

pin."

"That would be so embarrassing."

"A good horse needs a good saddle, and you're all Junzai's men, so I trust you."

"Thank you so much, Brother Yao!"

After a brief moment of restraint, Yingzai didn't stand on ceremony and promptly accepted the money.

They need to eat too, you know.

The team that followed the suspects consisted of a total of four people and lasted for about half a month.

Wu Tianyao called to Guan Xiumei, "Amei, bring out two more cups of iced lemon tea, then change your clothes and come out with me."

"oh."

Guan Xiumei brought in two cups of iced lemon tea, put them down, and then went to another dressing room to change her clothes.

Wu Tianyao stood in front of the Bentley's hood, smoking a cigarette, his mind racing.

A few minutes later.

Guan Xiumei came out, her long hair, which had been coiled up, was now loose and naturally draped over her shoulders.

Her attire was very refreshing.

She wore a simple white T-shirt as a base layer, with the hem of the T-shirt tucked into light blue washed denim shorts.

The denim shorts have a frayed edge.

A few strands of cotton thread hung in the air, swaying as she walked, making her long, fair legs very eye-catching.

"Boss... Boss."

Guan Xiumei stood timidly in front of Wu Tianyao: "Where are we going?"

This was the first time she had spent alone with Wu Tianyao, and it was even when she was out on business with her boss.

"Come with me for coffee." Wu Tianyao took out his car keys. "You can drive?"

"Um.."

Seeing her nod, Wu Tianyao tossed her the car keys and got into the back seat.

The situation is urgent.

Wu Tianyao is about to meet with Wang Weiqiang and needs Guan Xiumei to provide cover.

"What are you standing there for? Get in and drive!" Wu Tianyao snapped at her when she hadn't gotten in yet.

"oh oh."

Guan Xiumei quickly came over, adjusted the seat, started the car, and drove off.

Her driving skills were pretty good; she got used to the car after driving for a while and drove much more smoothly.

Nathan Road.

Outside a coffee shop.

The two people got out of the car after it was parked.

Wu Tianyao led Guan Xiumei into the coffee shop, found a seat, and ordered two coffees.

Guan Xiumei looked at Wu Tianyao, who seemed lost in thought, and didn't dare to say anything. She could only silently drink her coffee.

Her slender fingers pinched the straw, and she idly stirred the ice cubes in the glass.

She doesn't understand.

Why did Wu Tianyao suddenly ask me to come out for coffee?

A few minutes later.

Dressed in casual clothes, Wang Weiqiang passed by Wu Tianyao and went to the restroom.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Wu Tianyao waited a while before getting up and going into the restroom.

"What do you want?" Wang Weiqiang had already checked the toilet. "So urgent?"

"Check these people for me." Wu Tianyao took out an envelope and handed him the photos: "These foreigners are suspected to have been brought over from Mexico by Weng Jinghe."

He recalled: "Help me to thoroughly check the entry and exit records of the New Beauty Nightclub during the few days it was open, starting with August 21st, and check both the top and bottom records."

Wu Tianyao added, "Now."

Wang Weiqiang nodded and said without further ado, "Call this number for me in half an hour."

"it is good."

Wang Weiqiang went out first.

Wu Tianyao washed his face, tidied his hair, and shook the water off his hands before leaving.

Facing you.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a square face and simple clothes walked in.

He wore a blue vest underneath and a faded white shirt on top.

He had a crossbody bag hanging from his waist.

The two bumped into each other.

The middle-aged man immediately apologized: "I'm sorry."

Wu Tianyao glanced at him, said nothing, and followed him out.

He sat down again in front of Guan Xiumei, picked up the magazine, and flipped through it listlessly.

Wang Weiqiang told him to contact him again in half an hour, which was quite efficient.

If I were to search for it myself, I don't know when I would find it.

Guan Xiumei watched Wu Tianyao looking at the magazine. She didn't dare to speak or ask anything, and could only sit there with Wu Tianyao.

She comforted herself, thinking that being able to come out for free coffee and still get paid as usual was the best thing ever.

Toilet.

After entering, the middle-aged man went straight to the toilet, quickly counted the items, and then entered the last toilet.

Close the door.

The middle-aged man deftly reached out and opened the toilet tank, then took out the waterproof bag that was soaking inside.

They opened the waterproof bag, tore off the outer tarpaulin, and revealed the bullets wrapped inside.

He weighed the bullet in his hand, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put it away, left the restroom, and went to the Western restaurant next door.

Enter the toilet.

Following the same method, they took out the large black star hidden inside.

The middle-aged man pulled the bolt of the large black gun, the internal parts meshing with a crisp sound, and the gun was chambered and fired with a crisp sound.

"Not bad, the waterproofing technique of the target shooting kit is still fine."

After he came out, he got into the black Toyota that was waiting outside and drove away.

Fatty Mushroom, driving the car, turned around and asked, "Brother Dong, is there a problem? Is the gun still there? After all, it's been hidden for so long."

"There's definitely no problem."

He Yaodong opened the satchel at his waist and took out four large black guns: "We used to hide them here. If the cops had found them, it would have been on the news long ago."

"If it's not in the news, then there's no problem; the gun must still be there."

He distributed the large black stars to them, and the car drove along Nathan Road.

He Yaodong sat in the car, looking out the window and quickly scanning the surroundings: "Don't rush, drive slowly, let's go around a couple of times before we talk."

These men were the first generation of Guangdong-Hong Kong flag bearers who committed several robberies in Hong Kong.

They made a quick profit and successfully avoided the limelight before leaving Hong Kong.

Two weeks ago.

They came down again and made another sale, but unexpectedly their hideout was discovered by the police, and all their weapons were lost.

and so.

Then he remembered the supplies he had hidden here before, and came over to get his gear to prepare for another heist today.

They've already scouted out Nathan Road, and there aren't any major problems.

The target shooter said excitedly, "Brother Dong, after this success, I want to go to Macau for some fun. I've heard the casinos there are really luxurious."

"Go ahead, whatever you want is fine," He Yaodong replied nonchalantly, looking outside.

The student from No. 8 Middle School chimed in, "I have a feeling things are getting a bit tense lately."

"Hey, it's not like this is the first time we've robbed you. It's always like this. Don't scare yourself. If you don't like it, just go home."

"I'm not going back in a sorry state. I want to eat well and have a good meal. I don't want to be a poor wretch."

He Yaodong interjected noncommittally: "A man is still a man if he doesn't have a woman, but if a man doesn't have money, he's not even a man."

"After this job, we'll go back in style."
