Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Meanwhile, inside Sang Qing's villa.

A group of people were sitting in the villa's hall watching a video.

The video showed Sang Qing, his face covered in blood, shouting, "Wife, within three days, I need... ten million! Not thousand-yuan bills, the largest denomination is five hundred. Don't call the police! They'll contact you, don't play them for fools! They'll kill me!"

"Give it to them, give it to them! Money is just an external thing! Give it to them!"

The video finished playing quickly, and Uncle Long, the boss of He Li and the others, all focused their attention on a bag next to the videotape.

Inside the bag was a blood-soaked hand, which clearly belonged to Sang Qing.

Sang Qing's wife said with a mournful face, "Everyone, what should I do now?"

"Who can do anything about this? People from Sun Kee, Hop To, and Wo Luen Shing have all been kidnapped. I received the news, paid over ten million, but they still haven't been released! In the end, they found the body of the kidnapper on the beach!" Wo Lee and the kidnapper said with grim faces, "These guys are insane!"

Hearing the captain's words, Sang Qing's wife became even more frightened and said to Uncle Long, "Uncle Long, you have to stand up for me! I'll do anything to save A-Qing!"

Uncle Lung is now in a real bind. Although Hung Hing had promised various triads to help investigate the matter during the meeting that day, he still felt a great deal of trouble.

But investigations always take time, right? Even if the Hung Hing men are incredibly resourceful, Uncle Lung doesn't think they can find the person in three days!
So he could only sigh and say to Sang Qing's wife, "Sister-in-law Qing, I will do my best!"

"Then we'll have to rely on you, Uncle Long!" Sang Qing's wife said, sobbing.

Uncle Long stood up and said, "You should rest first, we'll head back now."

With that, Uncle Long led his men away from Sang Qing's house and found a place to hold a meeting.
Meanwhile, in a residential house in Sham Shui Po.

Sang Qing was locked in the toilet.

At this moment, Sang Qing was no longer the arrogant and domineering person he used to be.

His leg was pierced by a bullet, and one of his hands was cut off. He was trembling with pain all over.

After some time, a young man walked in carrying a box of white rice.

Then the leader of the fake traffic cop from that day walked in: "Let's eat!"

This man is named He Zhansen, the former commander of the Flying Tigers.

Because of a failed operation, the entire team was used as scapegoats by their foreign superiors.

Originally a group of people with a strong sense of justice, they all turned to the dark side in the prison environment.

He Zhansen, in particular, felt that he had harmed his brothers.

So after he got out, he used his own methods to uphold justice and, incidentally, raise some funds for his activities.

The young man helped Sang Qing remove the gag from his mouth, and Sang Qing immediately said, "Brother...you have to keep your word after you receive the money!"

He Zhansen said calmly, "We'll talk about it after we get it!"

Sang Qing stared at He Zhansen carefully for a moment, then asked, "Have we met somewhere before?"

At this moment, the young man interrupted Sang Qing and said coldly, "Eat it, or I'll take it away!"

Having been hungry for several days, Sang Qing shut his mouth and began to wolf down the bowl of white rice in front of him.

I ate so much meat and fish that I was sick of it, and I never realized that white rice could taste so good.

After feeding him, before Sang Qing could even utter a sound, his men gagged him.

He Zhansen called everyone over for a meeting.

"Boss, I feel like we're being watched!" one of the young men said, frowning. "We've had this feeling like someone's following us lately, but we just can't find them! This isn't something an ordinary gangster could do!"

He Zhansen nodded and said, "He is indeed no ordinary person. It was Chen Jiajun, the big boss of Hung Hing, who made a move!"

"Chen Jiajun? Didn't he retire from the criminal world?" someone asked curiously. "Why is he getting involved in this again?"

He Zhansen said calmly, "I don't know the specific details, but just a few days ago, all the Hong Kong triad bosses hosted a banquet for Chen Jiajun at the Youguqi Restaurant! I guess they reached some kind of deal with Chen Jiajun!"

At this moment, a young man said with a serious expression, "The people from Hung Hing are not ordinary. Should we avoid them?"

He Zhansen nodded: "Hung Hing is indeed different from ordinary gangsters, so after last night's heist, we'll go to Europe to hide for a while!"

Hearing He Zhansen nod in agreement, no one said anything more.

He Zhansen then arranged the next steps.

Handing over the ransom is also an important matter. If I'm not mistaken, Sang Qing's wife should have already called the police by now.

……

"Boss, we've found it!" The intelligence team found Chen Jiajun at home while he was having dinner, carrying the information.

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Have you eaten? If not, come and eat with us!"

The intelligence officer shook his head: "I've already eaten on the way. I'll wait for you in the living room!"

Chen Jiajun focused intently on the food in front of him, and after they finished eating, Guan Jiahui brought them tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Jiajun asked, "Who is this person?"

"Former Flying Tigers captain He Zhansen, along with his team members—sniper A Ying, intelligence team members A Biao and A Hui, and He Zhansen's girlfriend A Shan—a total of five people!" The intelligence officer said with a smile, "Indeed, they're comparable to a small squad!"

"Apart from Ah Shan, all these people came from the Flying Tigers. They took the blame for the foreigners and even served two years in prison!"

Chen Jiajun said irritably, "I knew it was connected to those foreigners! Are we able to find any of their people now?"

The intelligence officer shook his head: "The other side is very vigilant. We've caught up with their people several times, but they've managed to escape each time for fear of being exposed! I reckon they've already noticed our presence! They might just run away after this one job!"

Chen Jiajun tapped his fingers on the table, then said to the intelligence officers, "Find a way for me to contact He Zhansen. I plan to have a talk with him! Any problems?"

The intelligence officer immediately said, "Contacting them shouldn't be a problem, but boss, are you planning to take these people in?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "No need. I just think they're a good fit for the Assassin Foundation! After all, there are so few people in this society who truly hate evil!"

"Ha, gangsters doing good deeds, hitmen doing good deeds, I wonder what the Hong Kong police are doing these days!" an intelligence officer sarcastically remarked.

He's also from Hong Kong, so he knows what a terrible state of public security is in Hong Kong right now.

It's not an exaggeration to criticize the Hong Kong police force these days.

Chen Jiajun shook his head: "Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts! As long as the foreigners control the Hong Kong police force, Hong Kong's public security will never improve!"

The next day, He Zhansen and others demanded ransom from Sang Qing's wife.

He Zhansen's gang, who had been monitoring Sang Qing's wife for a long time, already knew that He Lihe had called the police.

Furthermore, it was observed that the area around Sang Qing's wife's house was already being guarded by members of the Major Crimes Unit.

So I just made a phone call.

When the Major Crimes Unit heard the kidnappers' call, they immediately whispered to Sang Qing's wife to stall for time, giving them a chance to trace the kidnappers' calls. Sang Qing's wife answered the phone and heard a woman's voice: "Hello, is this Qing's wife? Your husband is in our hands, don't be nervous! Is your phone number XXX?"

Sang Qing's wife nodded and said, "Yes!"

"Take your phone with you when you go out, and I'll show you how!" the other person said directly.

Following the police's instructions, Sang Qing's wife tried to stall for time: "I need to talk to A-Qing..."

"Your house is full of police officers, come out and we'll talk!" After saying that, he completely ignored Sang Qing's wife and hung up the phone.

"Hello? Hello!" Sang Qing's wife heard a busy signal and could only look helplessly at the police officers from the Major Crimes Unit.

They were almost able to track the other party's signal, but the other party was very vigilant and didn't give them the chance at all.

Generally, it takes about 30 seconds to track a phone signal, and the other party hangs up the phone after about 20 seconds.

The female inspector in charge of the case, Gu Guoqiang, said helplessly, "The other party is very familiar with our wiretapping procedures! They are also counting down the time!"

Sang Qing's wife said with a mournful face, "What should I do now? Will they abuse my husband?"

Gu Guoqiang thought for a moment, then said to Sang Qing's wife, "Sister Qing, just do as they say. Our police will send someone to protect you secretly!"

Helpless, Sister Qing had no choice but to follow the other party's instructions and take the money to the downtown area.

There are so many people here that it's impossible to eavesdrop on cell phone signals.

A moment later, Qing's phone rang again. It was the same woman's voice: "Is the ten million ready?"

“It’s all ready!” Aunt Qing said immediately.

But the other party coldly replied, "Go get another ten million, because you broke your promise and called the police!"

Aunt Qing was stunned on the spot, and said in a tearful voice, "Where am I going to get so much money?"

"Ha, your husband has told you everything. Your family owns three houses and nearly 30 million in cash. Selling ecstasy pills is really easy money!" The other party sneered and said, "I'll call you in three days. Remember, if you want to see your husband come back alive, you have to shake off the police. Otherwise, don't even think about seeing your husband again!"

Police CIB officers searched the area for a long time but found no suspicious persons and had to give up.

Unable to find him, they could only wait for He Zhansen's team to call again.

On a pedestrian overpass, He Zhansen smiled at Ashan and said, "It seems that Sang Qing's wife is a person without much of her own opinion. If it were someone else, it would probably be difficult for us to get the money."

Just as A-Shan was about to say something, she suddenly caught a glimpse of several people approaching them out of the corner of her eye, and immediately reminded He Zhansen, "A-Sen, someone's coming."

As the commander of the Flying Tigers, He Zhansen quickly realized that things were not going well after being reminded by Ashan.

He immediately and discreetly reached for the pistol at his waist, then shielded his girlfriend, Ashan, behind him.

"Don't be so nervous, Inspector He. We have no intention of doing anything to you or your girlfriend." A man in a black suit, who was in the lead, spread his hands from a distance to indicate that he meant no harm.

He Zhansen looked at the men in black suits who had blocked all his escape routes, remaining vigilant: "Who are you people?"

"The Assassin Foundation, I don't know if you've heard of it?" the man in the black suit said with a smile. "I'm the current head of the Assassin Foundation, you can call me Crocodile!"

He Zhansen was stunned when he heard this title: "You're the Seraph's agent?"

“That’s right!” Crocodile Man said with a smile. “Interested in chatting? I’m very interested in what you’ve been up to lately!”

He Zhansen said coldly, "Why should I believe you?"

"If I were to lay a hand on you, you'd probably be dead by now, wouldn't you?" Crocodile said calmly. "Isn't this enough sincerity? I have no other intentions, I just want to talk to you! If possible, I'll have my men disperse immediately!"

He Zhansen looked at his girlfriend behind him, nodded, and said, "Okay! What do you want to talk about?"

Crocodile looked at the noisy surroundings and said with a smile, "Let's go somewhere else! I know a coffee shop that has really good coffee lately, how about we go there and chat?"

"Lead the way!" He Zhansen nodded in agreement without saying much.

Crocodile chuckled, then dismissed his men and led He Zhansen and his girlfriend, Ashan, to the nearest coffee shop.

After the two sat down, Crocodile said calmly, "You guys have caused quite a stir recently, forcing these triad bosses to seek cooperation with Hung Hing. You should know about this, right?"

Crocodile didn't mention his relationship with Chen Jiajun, which was at Chen Jiajun's request.

Apart from providing the initial funding, the Killer Foundation, founded by Chen Jiajun, operates entirely independently.

It has nothing to do with Hung Hing or Guojun Group.

The person officially in charge of the operation is Crocodile.

He Zhansen nodded and said, "Of course I know. After we finish this job, we're ready to leave Hong Kong."

Crocodile Man chuckled and shook his head: "I'm afraid you won't be able to finish this job. You think only the police are keeping an eye on Sang Qing's wife? That's all a smokescreen. In fact, Ah Long, the leader of Wo Lee Wo, has already secretly contacted Hung Hing!"

“If you dare to show your face and demand the ransom, I guarantee you won’t escape! I know you’re from the Flying Tigers, and you’re all very arrogant, but I think you’d better not test Hung Hing’s strength.”

He Zhansen raised an eyebrow and said to Crocodile Man, "Even the Seraphim wouldn't dare to mess with Hung Hing's people?"

Crocodile Man chuckled and held up one finger, saying, "First of all, we are all Hong Kongers. On Hong Kong's turf, I advise you not to have any conflicts with Hung Hing. Of course, whether you believe me or not is your business!"

"Secondly, we have no conflict with Hung Hing. All the leaders of Hung Hing have already returned to legitimate businesses. We have no desire or need to oppose Hung Hing!"

"Third, you're right, our foundation is indeed no match for Hung Hing and the Guojun Group!"

He Zhansen seemed somewhat surprised to hear Crocodile Man admit it so frankly.

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. After all, Chen Jiajun was able to wipe out all of the CIA's contact points overnight, which is terrifying enough.

He Zhansen said to Crocodile Man, "So, what does this have to do with you coming to see me!"

Crocodile Man chuckled and said, "Of course it's related, because... I'd like to invite you to join our Assassin Foundation!"

"Join you?" Crocodile's words surprised He Zhansen greatly: "Don't you have Seraphim enough?"

In He Zhansen's view, Seraphim was able to do so much on her own, so she was obviously no ordinary person. With such a top assassin, why would we need anyone else?

Crocodile laughed and said, "Of course it's not enough. Do you know why we created this assassin foundation? It's to fight against those bad guys who manage to escape legal punishment."

"Since the law can't punish them, then we'll do it! What do you think? Doesn't it suit your taste?"

It has to be said that Crocodile's words did indeed sway He Zhansen.

Because the two sides have very similar ideas!
As the former captain of the Flying Tigers, wouldn't He Zhansen have been able to find a good job if he applied to a security company? Why did he have to resort to kidnapping to make money?
It's because he can't swallow this insult!
His descent into darkness wasn't just due to the unfair treatment they received, but also because of his brother.

A young man with a strong sense of justice was killed by these gangsters, yet he was ultimately not convicted.
If the law can't convict these gangs, he will!

Although He Zhansen was somewhat tempted, he still said to Crocodile Man, "You are an assassin organization, how do I know you won't kill for profit?"

The crocodile laughed, saying with considerable pride, "Because we have Seraphim!" (End of Chapter)
