Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

When Xia Qi and his group entered the duty room, it was filled with wailing and screaming. Da Xi, wielding a steel pipe, was violently beating the bound Da Mi and A Long. "Damn you! Is this how you show me the important things I entrusted to me?!"

"Tell me, who did this!"

"Boss, I really don't know! It was dark and raining. I yelled at them to stop, and they just grabbed their things and ran. I couldn't see who they were!"

Da Mi was beaten black and blue, stripped naked except for her underwear, and kept begging for mercy from Boss Xi. Ah Long was in even worse shape; his arm was broken. Da Xi pointed a steel pipe at Ah Long and yelled, "You bastard! Da Mi told you to go watch, you damn bastard, you're still playing mahjong! I'll beat your mother to a pulp!"

"Aaaaaah!"

Brother Xi kicked Ah Long's arm, which had already been broken by the steel pipe, causing Ah Long to scream in pain. Brother Xi was furious when his underlings came in. "Boss, Liu Sheng has sent some men over. They're a few mainland guys."

"Mainland boy, call them in," Brother Xi tossed the steel pipe aside, sat on a folding stool, and smoked. Xia Qi walked into the duty room, saw several people lying on the ground groaning, and looked at Brother Xi. "Mr. Liu sent us. We want to know exactly what's missing. Take us to see it!"

"White-haired guy, take them to the container over there and take a look," Brother Xi was too lazy to move, so he called his strategist to lead Xia Qi and the others to check the pried-up container.

Xia Qi and his group arrived at the pried-open container. The container door had already been closed again, and several gangsters with brightly colored hair dyed their hair and were guarding it with machetes. Xia Qi ignored the gangsters, opened the container, and went inside.

The door lock of the insulated room was found to be broken and twisted. After tearing open the deformed door, the equipment inside was still sealed with a film, but a wooden frame next to it had been pried apart and was obviously missing. Xia Qi picked up the list hanging next to it and checked it. He then discovered that the CNC system's chassis, as well as the operation manual and password book, were missing.

The machine tool parts here often weigh one or two hundred pounds, and they are all made of steel. Obviously, the thieves couldn't move them, and they didn't know their value. So, only the machine casing was left that they could carry away.

Xia Qi stepped out of the container, took out a new lock from his pocket, and relocked the container. He then led his men back to the duty room and called Da Xi out. "Da Xi, right? My name is Hua Qi. Did you find out anything here?"

Xi Ge twitched the corner of his mouth and replied in broken Mandarin, "Not yet. Those bastards, we don't know who did it, we can't get any information out of them. What exactly was stolen?"

"You don't need to ask what's missing, and you'd better not. Telling you won't do you any good," Xia Qi said coldly, staring at Xi Ge so hard that Xi Ge almost trembled. He could only manage an awkward laugh and say, "Then I won't ask!"

"This was most likely done by people at the docks. It was an inside job. Ask your men if they know anyone at the docks who has a history of dishonest dealings." Xia Qi didn't even need to think much. These containers had only been there for less than a day, and they were already being watched. Clearly, there was a mole inside.

Upon hearing this, Brother Xi turned and went back into the duty room. Then, another round of wailing and howling erupted inside. After a short while, Brother Xi came out, shook his head, and said, "I couldn't get any information out of them. Those bastards all said they didn't know."

"Then spread the word that a shipment of your goods was stolen at the docks, and offer a reward of 100,000. You should know who the human smugglers are, right? Send people to keep an eye on things and see who goes looking for the smugglers after the word is spread, planning to run away!"

Xi Ge nodded, understanding Xia Qi's plan. He beckoned to the white-haired man, "Have someone spread the word that a batch of my 'fans' has been stolen. Anyone who knows this, let me know, and I'll give you 100,000!"

"Also, if I find out who took this shipment, I'll kill their whole family!"

The white-haired man nodded. "Understood, Brother Xi!"

Inside the abandoned building at the camp, Ruan Ji was being hung up, and several men were taking turns beating the wailing Ruan Ji with wooden sticks. Sitting on a stool, Ma Li Ge pointed at Ruan Ji and cursed, "Beat him! You dare to mess with me, Ma Li Ge? You're asking for trouble!"

"Brother Ma, I really didn't know there were these things inside! Please let me go!"

Faced with Ruan Ji's tearful pleas, Ma Li picked his nose and flicked it directly at Ruan Ji's face, "Fuck you! You sent so many of my brothers to the docks to get some fresh air, and all you brought back was this piece of junk? Tell me, what are we going to do about this?!"

As he spoke, Brother Ma kicked the computer case that was still wrapped in a protective film after he brought it back, making it crash to the ground with a loud bang, denting the outer shell.

"Brother Ma, I'm returning that ten thousand yuan to you..."

Before Ruan Ji could finish speaking, he was punched. "You still don't want to pay back the money? Consider that 50,000 a loan. Nine out of 13, 13 back. Remember you still owe me 40,000. Interest will start accruing from now on. If it's even a penny less next month, I'll cut off your fingers to pay off the debt!"

Ruan Ji didn't get any meat this time, but he did get a beating. He cried out, "Brother Ma Li, please have mercy on me this time! I really don't have any money! I still have to support my family!"

"Whether you support your family or not is none of my business. My brother went to get some fresh air for nothing. If people outside know that I, Brother Ma Li, let you play around like this, they'll think I, Brother Ma Li, am easy to bully!"

Just as Ma Li was thinking about getting revenge, news spread throughout the underworld: Da Xi of the Flying Dragon Gang had a shipment of goods robbed at the docks, resulting in a huge loss. A reward of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars was offered for the thief's capture; if he found the thief, Da hope would kill his entire family!

"I heard that Da hope lost a batch of goods, worth over ten thousand yuan, and he's so angry he's about to kill someone!"

"Do you know that Da hope lost a shipment of goods worth millions? He's so angry he's going to raid the streets!"

"Wow! No way, this is serious!"

"The Flying Dragon Gang's Da hope has lost tens of millions of dollars worth of goods!"

"Holy crap! Are all the men under Da hope incompetent? They managed to rob us of goods worth tens of millions!"

As soon as the news was released, it was immediately embellished and spread far and wide among the gangsters. The news quickly reached Brother Ma Li of the Camp Gang.

"Boss, everyone's saying that Big hope from the Flying Dragon Gang has lost tens of millions worth of goods!"

Ma Li immediately turned to look at the machine he had kicked over, "Damn it, is this thing really that expensive? Worth tens of millions!"

Brother Ma got anxious and immediately ran over to straighten the machine. After checking it, he found that it was just a dent and some paint was missing, so it wasn't a big deal.

We can get some money back!
