Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Upon learning that Wang Feng was his brother-in-law, had rescued his parents from the farm, safely transported them to Hong Kong Island, and now had given his father a huge sum of 3.5 million yuan in exchange for only 20% of the shares, Lou Yu repeatedly thanked Wang Feng.

Wang Feng laughed and said to Lou Yu, "Second brother, you and eldest brother are both injured right now, so just stay home and rest. We'll have dinner together tonight to celebrate your family reunion."

"Okay, my brother and I will definitely have a good drink with you tonight."

Lou Yu nodded in agreement. He was about the same age as Wang Feng, and Wang Feng had done his family a great favor. Moreover, Wang Feng was so generous and kind. He really liked Wang Feng's personality.

Wang Feng checked the time; it was already past three in the afternoon.

"Dad, let's go to HSBC before they close for the night. I have to leave Hong Kong Island after dinner."

Lou Bancheng nodded: "Okay, let's go."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Tan Yali and Lou Yi and instructed them, "You two stay home with Lou Bin and Lou Yu. We'll be right back."

"Um."

"Yes."

The four of them went downstairs, and Wang Feng drove the car towards HSBC Bank.

Wang Feng's car had only driven a kilometer when he saw checkpoints set up by foreigners everywhere.

"Stop and undergo inspection."

When Wang Feng's car was stopped, Lou Er and Lou San immediately became alert, reaching into their waistbands, ready to fire their guns and run away at any moment.

Lou Bancheng, being more composed, gestured to Lou San and the others, saying, "Don't make any rash moves. We now have Hong Kong identity cards, making us legal citizens of Hong Kong. They shouldn't be checking us."

Wang Feng roughly knew what was going on; he guessed that the HSBC bank theft had already been exposed.

"Dad, Uncle Lou the Second, Uncle Lou the Third, you don't speak the local dialect, so don't say anything later, just follow my lead."

When the guards checking the car got angry because the door wouldn't open, they drew their guns and aimed them at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng opened the car door, let Lou Bancheng and the others get out, and handed five hundred Hong Kong dollars to the guard.

"Brothers, you've worked hard. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I'm treating you guys to afternoon tea. What's going on? I came to Wan Chai from the Repulse Bay villa area at noon, and there weren't any checkpoints there then. How come there are checkpoints everywhere now?"

Upon seeing the five hundred Hong Kong dollars, the guard was overjoyed. He quickly lowered his gun and discreetly slipped the money into his pocket. This was almost two months' salary for him. When he heard that the man had come from the Repulse Bay villa area, his tone softened considerably. After all, the Repulse Bay villa area was inhabited by the wealthy and powerful, and it was not a place a lowly soldier like him could afford to offend.

"I don't know. We're just following orders to find a gold thief. I need to search your car now."

"No problem, brother, go ahead and search," Wang Feng said with a smile.

Wang Feng estimated that HSBC had stolen about 20 tons of gold and HK$400 million worth of cash. The bank dared not issue a notice, otherwise it would cause a shock throughout Hong Kong Island. Who would dare to trust HSBC or deposit money in HSBC in the future?

The guards only gave it a cursory check before letting them pass.

"Alright, you can go now."

Wang Feng nodded, beckoned Lou Bancheng and the others to get in the car, and drove towards the HSBC branch in Wan Chai.

Along the way, I saw many heavily armed patrol teams and checkpoints everywhere, as if the entire Hong Kong Island was under martial law.

"What's going on? Why are there patrol teams and checkpoints everywhere? Is it really necessary to make such a big fuss to catch a thief?" Lou San asked in surprise.

Wang Feng laughed and said, "It's alright, this has nothing to do with us. We're not thieves, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"Dad, tomorrow you should contact Manager Sun at the car dealership. You and Uncle Lou should go get your driver's licenses first. You can drive this car for now, it will be more convenient for you to get around in the future. The dealership also has some cheaper cars, you can buy a few more for convenience."

"become."

About ten minutes later, the four arrived at the HSBC Wan Chai branch.

From the Wan Chai Building to the Wan Chai HSBC branch, a distance of less than five kilometers, Wang Feng encountered three checkpoints, which left him speechless.

However, now that he knew the situation, he didn't give any more kickbacks to those henchmen during his subsequent two inspections.

Upon entering HSBC, the staff were very courteous to Wang Feng, a major client, and quickly completed the transfer.

Lou Bancheng withdrew 500,000 yuan in cash to cover his expenses during this period, and the four of them left HSBC.

While conducting his business, Wang Feng used his spiritual sense to examine the branch's gold reserves.

When he saw that the branch had less than a ton of gold and less than ten million in banknotes, he curled his lip and drove towards the Wan Chai Building.

This is nothing, not even worth his effort. The difference between the branch and the head office is just too great.

On the way back to the Wan Chai Building, I was checked three more times before I finally got back to the Wan Chai Building.

When I got back inside, it was almost 5 p.m.

Lou Bancheng and the others knew that Wang Feng would be leaving Hong Kong Island that night, so they randomly picked a restaurant downstairs and started eating.

At the dinner table, Wang Feng had a drink with his two brothers-in-law. The two brothers wanted to drink more, but Tan Yali stopped them.

Both of them are currently injured and should not drink too much.

While eating, the two brothers told Wang Feng about their experiences in Beijing. Wang Feng also shared some funny stories from their time in Courtyard No. 95, which made the two brothers laugh heartily. The atmosphere was very lively, and the two brothers-in-law's goodwill towards him increased rapidly.

After all, Wang Feng was the only one present who was about the same age as them and had common topics to talk about. Moreover, Wang Feng was their brother-in-law, so they didn't need to be reserved.

People like Lou Yi, although they watched the two brothers grow up, are still a generation apart. Although the two brothers usually respect the three of them, the generational difference means they definitely don't have anything in common.

Lou Bancheng and Tan Yali were very happy to see that Wang Feng got along so well with their two sons.

During the meal, Wang Feng toasted Lou Bancheng and Lou San and others several times. He didn't eat any food, but he did drink a bottle of 53-degree Fenjiu.

Tan Yali said with concern, "Wang Feng, drink less. You have important business to attend to tonight, so don't get drunk and delay your work."

Wang Feng smiled and nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I can handle a bottle of wine."
