Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

"What did you say?!" Mr. Zhu's scalp instantly exploded when he heard it.

"At first, I heard an explosion coming from the place that Lao Wu was watching over, so I discussed it with Char Siu and took a group of brothers to check it out. As a result, I ran into Xianyu Lao and Baimian Ji at the entrance of the place. Before I could sort things out with them, the place I was watching over was also blown up. As a result, the two bastards Xianyu Lao and Baimian Ji came straight at me and chopped. While I was fighting with them, I heard a third explosion. The direction was probably the place that Lao Wu was watching over. It must be in great danger there..."

When Master Zhu heard that the three casinos he had worked so hard to run were taken away overnight, he couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body. This chill even temporarily suppressed his anger.

"Who?! Who dares to blow up my place?!"

"Master Zhu! I don't know who it is, but when I met Xianyu Lao and Baimian Ji, they seemed confused too. It seems that they didn't do this."

Master Zhu was also very clear about the strength of Brother Kun and Old Seven Mo. It was a different era, and they didn't have any assassins. It was impossible for them to rush into the casino with a bomb and blow it up.

If they had such ability, they would have destroyed him long ago and completely taken over the casino business. Why would they have waited until today?

Then Mr. Zhu naturally has only one suspect left.

"Mr. Hong, you are a complete lunatic!!!"

Master Zhu held the microphone and roared. It was not until this moment that he realized that he had underestimated Hong Qi.

Originally, in his opinion, Hong Qi might be a young man with support, impulsive, reckless, ruthless, and unruly in his actions. He did not care about the consequences, and he had a powerful sniper in his hands, so he caught him off guard.

But now it seems that this is not just doing things without considering the consequences, he is clearly a madman!

Fights and gunfights within the fortress are nothing. No one outside will care if knives are used. As for guns, as long as they are not too excessive and make people outside the fortress panic, they can turn a blind eye to it.

But the impact of creating an explosion is too great. The loud noise of the explosion cannot be covered up by just a few words.

Although the British Empire has given up direct management of the city, if the situation in the city becomes too bad, or even poses a serious threat to the outside world and affects the people outside from providing benefits to the British Empire, the British Empire will still intervene.

Zhu Ye knew that this matter was far beyond his control. He hung up the phone with Ji Zhua and immediately called Lu Chengliang, the inspector of Kowloon District.

Generally, Master Zhu seldom asks for help from Lv Chengliang for problems within the fortress, because this is within his sphere of power, and he doesn't want Lv Chengliang to intervene too much. But now things have gotten out of control, and all three casinos have been bombed. A lot of Master Zhu's men have been killed. Although he can replenish his men, it will take time. Before that, Master Zhu's forces are in an unprecedentedly weak state.

Not to mention Hong Qi, the madman in Master Zhu's eyes, even Brother Kun and Old Mo Qi would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to bite Master Zhu hard and kick him to hell.

This problem can no longer be solved within the walled city. Mr. Zhu's only way out is to seek help from outside and ask Lu Chengliang to bring the Royal Police over. He can rely on the weapons in the police's hands and the authority of the British Empire behind them to resolve the incident. Even if he has to give up most of the profits of the casino to Lu Chengliang, he can accept it. As long as he can get through this, he will still have a chance to make a comeback!

Mr. Zhu called Lu Chengliang's home, but no one answered the phone.

Mr. Zhu knew that Lu Chengliang had a servant at home. Even if Lu Chengliang was not at home, the servant could answer the phone. Now the other party still did not answer, so the only explanation was that Lu Chengliang deliberately did not answer his call.

The busy tone from the phone chilled Zhu Ye's heart.

He was abandoned!

Chapter 240 Goodbye, although we have never met

Of course, there is no loyalty between Lu Chengliang and the three bosses of the city. It is purely an exchange of interests.

The three bosses can provide Lu Chengliang with money and beauties, and the three bosses also need Lu Chengliang to provide some convenience for their business.

For example, Brother Kun sells powder, but the powder has to be shipped in through external channels and then distributed. With the face of Chief Inspector Lu Chengliang, Brother Kun's goods can avoid many inspections and flow smoothly.

Some of Mo Laoqi's women were from the city, but some were from outside. Some were kidnapped, some were bought, and some were deceived. After these people entered the city, they were equivalent to missing outside, and they also needed Lu Chengliang's cover-up.

On Master Zhu's side, gamblers from outside would also come to the fortress to gamble. When Master Zhu's men went to collect debts from the gamblers, they often used some extreme means. It didn't matter in the fortress, but the rules outside were different from those in the fortress. It was also thanks to Lu Chengliang's maintenance that they were able to remain safe and sound.

The two sides have maintained cooperation for many years, and Zhu Ye's business has been very stable, but in fact Zhu Ye is not irreplaceable.

He did not have any unique skills or abilities that belonged to him alone. He just completed the primitive accumulation earlier than others, gathered a group of fierce subordinates, and then relied on the violence of these subordinates to maintain the balance between his casino and debt collection.

Compared with the other two, Brother Kun at least has the channels to get goods from upstream sellers.

Mo Laoqi also has many madams and traffickers under his command, helping him to find new girls.

To put it bluntly, casinos are all about money. If casinos don't care about making money, then they don't even need "talents" like cheaters, which means there is no problem.

Therefore, Zhu Ye's casino business is relatively the easiest to replace.

If Master Zhu can make money for Lu Chengliang, so can others. Now is the time for this "other person" to appear.

Mr. Zhu knew the result, so he did not call Lu Chengliang again. It was a waste of time to make such a futile struggle. Instead, he calmed down and thought about his own way out.

This thought was quickly interrupted by a phone ring.

"Master Zhu! Please give the order quickly!"

The call was from Ji Zhua. When he hung up just now, Master Zhu asked him to call back in ten minutes. He contacted Lu Chengliang first and then made plans.

"Wait a minute! I'll send someone to pick you up right away!"

Master Zhu simply said this, and after hanging up the phone, he shouted outside: "Abang! Come in!"

A 1.9-meter-tall, burly man with a flat head ran in: "Master Zhu, what's the matter?"

"Go and notify everyone, bring guns and grenades to the city, and completely destroy Huang Laobao's place! And prepare a car for me, I need it!"

"Yes, Master Zhu!"

Abang immediately ran out to make arrangements, and this was exactly the way Mr. Zhu could think of to escape from this situation, to divert the trouble away!

Now he can't count on Lu Chengliang, and the madman Hong Qi, the white-faced Kun, and the seven old ghosts are all eyeing his life. He probably doesn't have many of his men left to look after the place. He has to rely on the remaining men outside. It is absolutely a dead end to fight these three head-on. So the only way is to let these three fight each other.

Master Zhu knew that the three families were definitely eyeing his casino business. Without him, the three families would definitely fight over the business.

The report from Chicken Claw made Master Zhu think that Baimian Kun and Qi Laogui should not have joined forces with Hong Qi, and they were not even very clear about Hong Qi's strength and madness. He sent people to attack the casino controlled by Hong Qi directly, with the purpose of putting Hong Qi directly under the eyes of these two families.

These two families have waited for so many years, and finally waited for an opportunity for Master Zhu to be finished. They definitely don't want Master Hong to appear and monopolize the casino business. The probability of directly kicking this outsider out is not low. As long as they can fight, Master Zhu will have a way out.

Moreover, Huang Laobao's place is not big, and the number of people it can accommodate is limited. The last time he suffered a great loss was also due to that sniper. Zhu Ye sent people over to contain the sniper and use his men's lives to attract firepower for himself so that he could escape safely.

After arranging Abang to do the work, Master Zhu took out a pistol from the drawer of the coffee table and shot the two women around him with two shots.

I can't take these two burdens with me. If I let them go, it might leak the news that I'm going to run away. It's better to just kill them. Anyway, as long as I have money, I can have as many women as I want.

After killing the two women, Master Zhu came to the study and opened the mechanism behind a painting of a dragon and a tiger fighting on the wall. A hidden mechanism door opened.

Criminals like Zhu Ye always like to play the secret room trick. First of all, the money of these people is mostly from unknown sources and cannot be reported to the tax authorities normally. Money laundering also takes time, so the cash in hand cannot be deposited directly into the bank. It needs to be placed in a place for a period of time for turnover, or even simply stored for a long time, without the need for a bank.

Secondly, the secret room can also be used as a hiding place. If you encounter an enemy who wants to kill you, you may be able to escape by hiding in the secret room.

There are a lot of good things in Master Zhu's secret room, including several boxes of cash, dozens of yellow croakers, more than a dozen pistols and submachine guns, countless ammunition, five grenades and a sniper rifle.

Mr. Zhu put two pistols loaded with bullets on his body, and put all five grenades on his body, and then he carried out the money one box at a time.

Mr. Zhu is old and very fat. He suffers from the three highs and his health is not as good as before. He no longer has the physical strength to fight with others with knives when he was young. He is exhausted from moving money one by one, but he never stops, because he knows very well that his power may completely collapse tonight, and this money is his only bargaining chip for the rest of his life.

"Huh...Huh...I have this much money! I can go to Southeast Asia and buy an identity. Even if I can't be the boss, I can still be a rich man and live a carefree life! It's worth it!"

After a while, Abang came back and said that the car had been arranged and parked in front of the villa.

Zhu Ye asked A Bang to go out, and then he moved the money and weapons to the car one by one. When the car could no longer hold them, Zhu Ye gave up the remaining guns and ammunition, sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, driving the car, which was full of the ill-gotten gains he had earned over the years, and rushed towards the free and wealthy life in his mind.

When he drove out, Hong Qi, who was lying in ambush on a hill, had already aimed his sniper rifle at him.

"Goodbye, although we have never met, Mr. Zhu"

Chapter 241 Chop it up and make barbecued pork buns

boom! ! !

A gunshot rang out in the darkness. The special armor-piercing bullet that could penetrate even military armored vehicles tore through the car window and Master Zhu's body without any surprise.

The out-of-control car crashed directly into a roadside landscape tree. Hong Qi aimed at Zhu Ye's head through the sniper scope and fired another shot. After seeing Zhu Ye's head explode like a watermelon, he completely sent this former gangster boss to his death.

After confirming that Master Zhu was dead, Hong Qi rode his motorcycle down the mountain, came to Master Zhu's car, opened the door, pulled out Master Zhu's headless body, and threw it on the side of the road.

After getting in the car, he started it. After trying it several times, the car started normally. Hong Qi drove the car with the front end of the car crooked back to Zhu Ye's villa.

Abang, who was in the villa, came back after seeing Master Zhu's car was damaged. The person who got out of the car was not Master Zhu, but a stranger covered in blood. He angrily said, "Who are you? Where is Master Zhu!" At the same time, his big hand like a palm leaf fan reached out to grab Hong Qi.

Hong Qi didn't know Abang, but when he saw this guy, he was surprised. He was about 1.9 meters tall and had a strong physique. He looked like he must weigh about 200 pounds. He must be a good fighter.

It would be a shame to kill him directly, so let's see if I can take him in as a younger brother.

Hong Qi put away his gun, clenched his fist and beat up the 200-pound strong man.

It's true that it's hard to say whether a big person is good at fighting, but he is definitely better at taking a beating than the average person.

Hong Qi used seven or eight punches to make the guy kneel down. After beating him, Hong Qi took out his gun and pointed it at the big guy's forehead.

"The man surnamed Zhu is already dead. You either follow me or die. Choose one!"

Abang stiffened his neck, looking like he would rather die than surrender.

"Master Zhu has been so kind to me! I will never betray him!"

Oh, you'll never betray me, right?

Hong Qi silently dragged a box down from the car, opened it, grabbed a few stacks of money and threw them directly on Abang.

"Is this fucking enough to buy your favor?"

"Master Zhu..."

Hong Qi took two more gold bars, which collided with each other and made a crisp sound, and then threw them at Abang.

"This, plus this, is it enough..."

"Master! You are my second parents! My savior! From now on, my life will belong to you!"

Before Hong Qi finished asking the second question, Tang Bang quickly took the money and gold bars into his arms, as if he was afraid that Hong Qi would change his mind.

This made Hong Qi couldn't help but want to say, "What the hell, a sneak attack is not a moral code!"

In fact, Tang Bang's reaction is not surprising at all. What a bullshit loyalty, what a never betrayal, to put it bluntly, it's just that the chips for betrayal are not enough.

Are there people who are truly loyal to their brother and would follow him until death, and even after his death, they would still want to avenge him and would never surrender or betray him?

Of course there are some young, immature kids who haven't been beaten by society yet may do this, and even think that their behavior is quite awesome and that they are role models in the underworld. However, the older they are, the less likely they are to do so, because they have all been severely taught a lesson by reality and know that in front of money, loyalty is bullshit.

Tang Bang belongs to the latter category.

Hong Qi took back the gun, and Tang Bang, who had received the money, stood up immediately: "Master, please tell me what I want to do!"

"Go and move all the stuff out of the car, then clean up the car and get a new one. Also, can you contact Zhu's men?"

"Yes! I used to go to various places with Zhu... Fatty, and I can contact most of his men."

"When the day breaks, call over all the living ones. Those who are willing to bow their heads and acknowledge the boss can stay. Those who don't will be chopped off and made into barbecued pork buns. When the day comes, find some new people to come in. It doesn't matter if they are wild at heart. The key is that they must be able to fight and be ruthless. I don't need trash!"
