Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

The foolish thing that Li Er Gongzi did at the banquet last time was told to Li Jiacheng by his gossipy friend.

After that, Li Er Gongzi ran into trouble and was scolded by his father when he got home.

"What's the use of your brain? How dare you say such things?" Li Jiacheng was immediately furious.

He had dealt with Chen Jiajun before and knew how troublesome that kid was.

The younger generation, let alone those who fight him, aren't even worthy of carrying Chen Jiajun's shoes.

So, when he was in his early twenties, he dared to defy the rules and challenge Hong Kong's top tycoons? The second son? He's probably still chasing girls and showing off his sports cars!
The second son, who already harbored deep resentment towards Li Ka-shing, was naturally unwilling to accept this and immediately started arguing with his father.

This resulted in the second young master not returning home for a long time and living outside.

He had just come from a cocktail party and was already quite drunk, so he was planning to go home and get a good night's sleep.

Just as the driver was passing a construction site, the car suddenly shook violently.

This startled the second young master awake, who mumbled, "What happened?"

The driver said helplessly, "Boss, it looks like the car has hit something!"

Li Zekai hadn't paid any attention at first, but when he glanced out the window unconsciously, he was so startled that he sobered up considerably.

"Wait, don't get out!" Before Li Zekai could speak, the bodyguard in the passenger seat grabbed the driver and said sternly, "Roll up the windows and lock the doors! There are people outside!"

The driver was startled and looked out the window, where he indeed saw several figures appearing and disappearing in the darkness.

The bodyguard took out a walkie-talkie, but just as he was about to say something, he found only static on the radio. He called out several times, but no one answered.

Then they heard the car behind them being smashed by a huge black shadow, making a loud bang.

The dark figure was a truck, and several people quickly jumped out of it and opened fire on the vehicle that had been hit and thrown into the air!

"Da da da, da da da!"

The violent gunshots carried far across the open field.

But it was no use, because the residents near the construction site had all been relocated, and no one heard anything.

The bodyguard immediately drew his pistol and shouted at the driver, "Don't move! If you dare get out of the car, I'll be the first to shoot you!"

The driver, in a panic, had no choice but to take his hand off the car door.

Soon the second young master noticed that a lot of people had surrounded the vehicle. These guys were all holding weapons, and it was clear at a glance that they had ill intentions.

"Damn it, quickly think of a way to call the police!" the second young master said in a panic.

The bodyguard said with a wry smile, "It's already being done, but there's no signal here!"

"How is this possible!" The second young master became even more flustered.

The robbers outside didn't try to negotiate with the people inside the car. The masked leader pulled out an ice axe and smashed it against the driver's side window.

Although the car was bulletproof, glass is still glass. A few blows with an ice pick quickly broke a small gap in it.

The bodyguard, trying to sound tough but actually sound weak, shouted outside, "We've already called the police! Don't cause any trouble! If you leave now, we can pretend nothing happened!"

"Ha!" The masked robbers were none other than Zhang Shih-hao and his group.

Zhang Shih-hao sneered, his tone full of contempt.

He still struggled to break open the window, and once he could fit a fist through, he took out a can of tear gas and threw it in.

Seeing the bottle emitting a large amount of choking white smoke, the bodyguard knew things were in trouble.

Although he tried his best to cover his mouth and nose, the smoke still choked him, making his vision blurry with tears, and his chest felt like it was on fire.

In the end, it was the second young master who couldn't hold back any longer. He opened the car door and rushed out, stretching out his hands: "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! I have money!"

Zhang Shih-hao immediately ordered Ye Guo-huan and a few others to subdue the second young master, then pulled the bolt of his gun and waited for the bodyguards in the car to jump out.

The bodyguard lived up to his reputation as an elite guard. Knowing that the other party would definitely be waiting for him to come out, he first threw the driver out of the car, thus confusing Zhang Shih-hao and the others.

After switching positions, he kicked open the car door and rammed into Zhang Shih-hao, who was closest to him.

This strike was incredibly fierce, clearly using all of its strength.

However, Zhang Shih-hao was not one of those brainless robbers. After confirming that the person thrown out was not a bodyguard, he immediately retreated.

Then, the rifle fired a series of flames towards the driver's side door.

After the bodyguard missed hitting anyone, he grabbed the car door to block the gun attack, but he was still hit in the thigh by a bullet and had to retreat back into the car.

It felt like a mouse trying to pull a turtle, with no idea where to start.

Just then, Ye Guohuan tossed a package to Zhang Shihao and said, "Use this, we should go!"

Zhang Shih-hao's eyes lit up when he saw what Ye Guo-huan threw at him.

After throwing that thing onto the roof of the car, he quickly retreated with his men.

The bodyguards inside the car had a bad feeling when they saw the crowd pushing them aside.

A chill ran straight up from my back to my forehead.

He immediately opened the car door and rolled out of the car.

The next moment, a violent explosion rang out, and the powerful shockwave knocked him over.

After the bodyguard, who was dazed and confused from the fall, got up, he was met with several dark gun barrels.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

After a burst of gunfire, the place returned to silence.

Zhang Shih-hao and Ye Kuo-huan immediately took the second young master into a van and then grabbed the driver who had been thrown out.

The driver was so scared he peed himself; he really did.

He was just a driver for rich young masters; he'd never seen anything like this before.
He begged Zhang Shih-hao, trembling, not to kill him.

Zhang Shih-hao laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you! But I need you to go back and tell Boss Li that his son is in my hands, and that he shouldn't call the police but wait for my call! Do you understand?"

"I...I understand, boss!" the driver nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, you can get out of here!" Zhang Shihao released the driver's collar, then led the second young master directly into a van.

Although the second young master was panicked, he was not as pathetic as the driver.

He kept talking about money, trying to get the robbers to let him go, his incessant chatter was annoying.

Ye Guohuan impatiently smashed the second young master to the ground with the butt of his rifle, then grabbed a piece of cloth and stuffed it into his mouth, finally bringing peace to the world.

No one spoke much along the way; the only sound was the car moving.

After an unknown amount of time, the second young master found that the car had finally stopped, and he was taken to a strange little house.

Once they reached a safe place, Zhang Shihao and Ye Guohuan removed their hoods and then said to the second young master, "Young Master Li, don't panic. We're just after money! We won't do anything to you! As long as you cooperate with us, you can stay here for a couple of days at most!"

"Of course, it's not as comfortable as your home here, so you'll have to make do for now. Once your dad brings the money over, I promise I won't touch a hair on your head!"

Faced with such a threat, the second young master naturally dared not say anything and could only nod repeatedly.

Seeing how cooperative the guy was, Zhang Shih-hao simply had him untied and the thing in his mouth removed.

Then someone led the second young master to the back room.

Only then did Ye Guohuan speak up, saying, "Why should we untie him? It'll be troublesome if he runs away!"

Zhang Shih-hao laughed and said, "Brother Huan, there's no village or shop in sight here, where can he run to? Besides, aren't there some brothers watching him? The main reason for letting him go is to get him to cooperate with us, otherwise, the big boss wouldn't be willing to pay!"

Ye Guohuan nodded, then asked, "How much money are you planning to ask his father for?"

Zhang Shih-hao sneered: "Of course, the more the better!"

...On the other side, the Li family's hillside mansion.

The driver, who had escaped unharmed, rushed back in a panic, shouting that he wanted to see Li Jiacheng.

However, he was quickly stopped by the butler, who scolded him, "Are you crazy? You've disturbed the master's rest. Do you even want to keep your job?"

"Butler Zhou, hurry and inform the master, the second young master has been kidnapped!" The driver gasped for breath as he spoke to the butler in broken sentences.

The butler was also shocked upon hearing this: "What did you say?"

"I said the second young master has been kidnapped!" the driver repeated.

The butler, no longer able to stop him, took off running into the mansion.

Just as Li Jiacheng was about to go to sleep, he saw the butler rush in.

He immediately said with some displeasure, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

The butler swallowed hard and said, "Master, the second young master has been kidnapped?"

"What? Who did this?" Li Jiacheng's eyebrows shot up immediately, and he sat up straight.

The butler said, "I don't know either. The second young master's driver ran back and told me!"

"Let him in!" Li Jiacheng said immediately in a deep voice.

The driver soon came in and told Li Jiacheng what had happened.

"You mean they came specifically for the second son?" Li Jiacheng asked sharply.

"Yes, sir! And they were very professional. The bodyguards around the second young master were no match for them at all!" The driver recalled the actions of the kidnappers earlier and felt a little scared.
After a moment of silence, Li Jiacheng said to the driver, "Go back now and clean up the scene! Don't let the police get involved!"

"Huh?" The driver was stunned for a moment.

The butler yelled from the side, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go! Let Old Cat go with you!"

The driver then realized what was happening, nodded quickly, and got out.

After the driver left, the butler said with a grim expression, "Sir, are we really not going to call the police?"

Li Jiacheng calmly said, "What's the use of calling the police? They're obviously here for money, just give them the money! Who knows what might happen if we involve those unreliable police officers?"

He then added, "This matter cannot be leaked, not even to the boss! Especially to reporters and the police, just pretend this never happened, understand?"

The butler could only nod and leave.

But just as the butler left, the phone next to Li Jiacheng rang.

This call was naturally made by Zhang Shih-hao.

After getting the phone number from the second young master, Zhang Shih-hao couldn't wait to make the call.

Li Jiacheng had already guessed that it was a call from the kidnappers. After answering, he asked casually, "What's your name?"

“You wouldn’t recognize me anyway, so just call me Big Rich!” Zhang Shih-hao said with a smile.

“Alright, Mr. Tycoon! You want to talk to me about my son, right?” Li Jiacheng said calmly.

“That’s right!” Zhang Shih-hao said with a smile, “You truly deserve to be the richest man! Your mind works much better than ours!”

Li Ka-shing didn't have time to beat around the bush and said bluntly, "You're no ordinary person either, you don't need to flatter me! Just tell me! How much money do you want? Or you should hurry up and finish this matter!"

“Sure!” Zhang Shih-hao said quickly, “I’ll be at your house right away, is that convenient?”

"What?" Li Jiacheng was clearly taken aback for a moment, but then calmed down: "Okay! But I want to say a few words to my son first!"

Zhang Shih-hao said with a smile, "Since you're so straightforward, I can't dawdle!"

After saying that, he handed the phone to the second young master who was standing next to him.

Before the second young master could say more than a few words, Zhang Shih-hao snatched the phone away: "Now we can confirm it, right?"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you!" Li Jiacheng said and then hung up the phone.

……

At this moment, in the president's office of Guojun Group.

Chen Jiajun didn't go back but was busy with his own work.

Guan Jiahui arrived at the office carrying a thermos and said irritably, "I knew you were still at the company!"

Chen Jiajun casually pulled Guan Jiahui into his arms and said, "Why are you here?"

"Here, I've brought you your favorite pork rib soup!" Guan Jiahui placed the thermos on the desk with a virtuous expression and served Chen Jiajun the soup. Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Guan Jiahui immediately stood up, dutifully cleared away the bowls and chopsticks, told Chen Jiajun to go home early, and then left.

After receiving permission, the intelligence officers came in. Chen Jiajun wiped his mouth and said to his subordinates, "What's the matter that's so urgent?"

The subordinate quickly replied, "Zhang Shih-hao and his men have succeeded. I heard from the brothers who were monitoring them that this kid plans to go to the Li family's villa to talk to Li Ka-shing in person!"

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "You really have guts!"

"This guy must be incredibly brave, and he went there strapped with a bomb!"

The intelligence officer said with a smile, "Mr. Li is in for a headache now."

Chen Jiajun smiled and asked, "What's going on outside? Any news?"

The intelligence officer shook his head and said, "There's no news. I guess Li Jiacheng is blocking the information. However, someone reported the incident to the police at the place where Zhang Shihao and his group kidnapped the Second Young Master. I estimate the police will definitely get involved."

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. Given Mr. Li's character, he definitely won't let the police get involved. Even if they find out something, he'll act like nothing happened! After all, that old fox is too prudent!"

……

As Chen Jiajun had predicted, the police did indeed find some things.

And they visited him immediately.

However, the inspector from the Serious Crimes Unit in charge of the case did not even get to see Li Ka-shing; it was Li's butler who came out to meet them.

"What can I do for you, gentlemen?" The butler had a poker face, revealing nothing.

The inspector stated his purpose directly: "We want to talk to Mr. Li, not for guidance, is that it?"

After listening, the butler shook his head and said, "It's not convenient. The master has already gone to bed. If there's anything else, the lawyer will contact the police tomorrow. Please make yourself at home now!"

Upon hearing the butler's blunt words, the group of police officers immediately showed expressions of anger.

They came because of the Li family's second young master, but they didn't expect the steward to be so disrespectful.

Just as the police officers were about to lose their temper, the superintendent in charge raised his hand and silenced them.

Then he said to the butler, "Since Mr. Li has already gone to bed, we won't disturb him any longer. If there are any problems, please contact us at any time!"

The butler took the inspector's business card, nodded, and said, "Understood, I will tell the master."

Seeing the butler say this, the inspector led his team away.

Little did they know, the person they were looking for was in the Li family's living room.

After the police left, the butler returned to the living room and said to Zhang Shih-hao, who had already arrived, "Please wait a moment, the master will be here to see you shortly!"

Zhang Shih-hao waved his hand and then looked around at the Li family's mansion.

As a country bumpkin, he never imagined that people could live in such a luxurious place.

Even a single decorative item like that would probably be something he couldn't afford in his entire life when he was a dwarf mule.

Now? Heh, Zhang Shihao thought with a cold laugh. As long as he could release that young master Li, he figured that boss Li would even give him the villa!
However, Zhang Shih-hao's ambitions didn't stop there. Although he was a country bumpkin, he knew the worth of this Mr. Li.

He couldn't possibly be dismissed like those idiots with just a few million or tens of millions. (End of Chapter)
