Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Qiu Gang'ao and his group barely managed to escape back to their hideout, their morale extremely low.

Originally, there were five people who came out, but two of them were lost before the plan even started, which was a huge blow to Qiu Gang'ao.

Uncle Quan frowned and said, "I just asked some friends in the underworld, and Ah Hua is in big trouble!"

"Is there any chance to get Ahua out?" Bursting Beads asked hurriedly.

Uncle Quan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but it will cost a lot of money! We'll need to hire a top lawyer!"

“But now we…” the menthol capsule said, somewhat speechless.

Ou Wangui's death had already put their small team in a tight financial situation.

Now that this incident has occurred, it's undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

Qiu Gang'ao tapped the table and said to the two of them, "Then we have no way out!"

"Boss, you mean... keep going?" Bursting Beads looked at Qiu Gang'ao with some surprise.

Qiu Gang'ao countered, "Do you think we still have a way out?"

Upon hearing this, Baozhu and Uncle Quan fell silent.

The reason they followed Qiu Gang'ao was that they wanted to take revenge on those injustices after they got out.

Now that things have come to this point, there's clearly no turning back.

Uncle Quan frowned and said to Qiu Gang'ao, "But after what just happened, Ma Jiaorong probably won't join forces with us anymore!"

Qiu Gang'ao sneered and said, "I didn't even include him in my calculations!"

……

Inside the police station, Ahua is being interrogated.

Of the group, only Ahua hadn't used a gun.

Moreover, he jumped out of the car to cover for the young master, and was caught by the police.

Strictly speaking, the police did not have enough evidence to prosecute him.

"Running? You jumped out of the car!" The interrogating policeman was furious, slamming his fist on the table and shouting at Ahua.

However, this method of interrogating criminals was completely ineffective against Ahua, who was also a former officer in the serious crimes unit.

They were police officers, so they knew how to play by the rules, and they played them very well.

Wearing handcuffs, Ahua said with a flippant expression, "I can jump out of a moving vehicle whenever I want. What law doesn't allow people to jump out of moving vehicles? Also, you police officers were driving recklessly and hit me. I'm going to sue you!"

As a fellow officer, Ahua was adept at turning the tables. He infuriated the two officers interrogating him to the point of near-fatal rage!
"Don't try to play tricks on me!" the officer roared. "This young master is your brother, you must have been involved in this! Confess!"

"It's all just empty talk, aren't you tired of it? Is this how the police operate now?" Ahua picked at his ear and said with a sneer, "Arresting people based on whim, indicting people based on evidence! Where's the evidence?"

Just as the interrogation reached a stalemate, Zhang Chongbang walked in.

Seeing his former colleague, Zhang Chongbang's eyes were filled with complicated emotions, but in order to find Qiu Gang'ao, he still tried to appeal to his emotions: "Ahua, how has your family been lately? I remember your daughter is already six years old, she should be starting elementary school by now!"

Facing Zhang Chongbang, Ahua's eyes flashed with hatred, then he turned his head to the side.

"Spend quality time with your daughter and don't think about anything else!" Zhang Chongbang continued to persuade her.

Unfortunately, Ahua didn't fall for it at all, keeping his mouth shut and not saying a word.

Faced with such a tough nut to crack, Zhang Chongbang had no good solutions.

Torture and forced confessions were not his style, so he could only take Ahua into custody for the time being.

After they went outside, Great White Shark came over and said to Zhang Chongbang, "Their families have all been taken away and gone abroad!"

"Damn it!" Zhang Chongbang couldn't help but curse.

Just then, a policewoman walked over and said to Zhang Chongbang and Great White Shark, "Sirs, Inspector Li requests your presence in his office. It seems there's been some progress in the case!"

"What? I'll go right away!" Zhang Chongbang exchanged a glance with Great White Shark, then immediately headed to Li Wenbin's office.

……

A finance company in Sai Wan, Water Street.

Qiu Gang'ao and his men found Ma Jiaorong.

As soon as he entered, Qiu Gang'ao said to Ma Jiaorong, "Brother Rong, is everything settled?"

Ma Jiaorong chuckled and said, "I've got it all done! The most powerful guns and bombs you wanted are all here! The bank vault, all the security data, it's all here! But..."

Ma Jiaorong glanced at the group, then smiled slyly and said, "I didn't invite you!"

Qiu Gang'ao sneered and said, "What do you mean?"

"You still dare to say that?" Ma Jiaorong pointed at him, his face contorted with malice. "Last time you brought the cops to my hideout, and I haven't even settled accounts with you yet! The police are looking for you everywhere, and I don't want to go to jail so soon!"

Bursting Beads immediately retorted angrily, "Don't give me that crap. There's a hundred million dollars here. Do you think you're going to give up so easily?"

Ma Jiaorong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I said I didn't make any appointments with you, but I also didn't say I was stopping! To tell you the truth, I've already found someone else to do it, so you can leave now!"

With that, Ma Jiaorong sat back down with an arrogant expression.

However, Qiu Gang'ao and his group did not move, but just stared at him coldly, as if they were looking at a dead man.

This greatly displeased Ma Jiaorong: "What are you doing? What are you still standing here for? Get out!"

The group of people smiled and slowly retreated, but the three of them were positioned very carefully.

They quickly retreated to the side of Ma Jiaorong and his bodyguards.

At this moment, Qiu Gang'ao suddenly made a move, grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the table, and stabbed them directly into the neck of one of the bodyguards.

Then Uncle Quan and Baozhu joined forces, knocking the remaining two bodyguards to the ground and taking their guns.

Then, Uncle Quan and Baozhu arrived at the door in perfect unison and began to snipe at Ma Jiaorong's men.

As for Ma Jiaorong, he left it to Qiu Gang'ao, who was full of anger, to deal with.

Ma Jiaorong, a well-known member of the Big Circle Gang, was quite skilled. Even without weapons, he could hold his own against Qiu Gangao.

However, his opponent was not a fighter, but a trained former police officer.

This small oversight can sometimes be fatal.

If he knew that Qiu Gang'ao's greatest strengths were assault and dagger fighting, he certainly wouldn't have fought him hand-to-hand with a knife.

In just a few seconds, Qiu Gang'ao snatched the knife from Ma Jiaorong's hand.

With a few casual slashes, Ma Jiaorong was covered in blood.

Seeing that things were not going well, Ma Jiaorong turned around and tried to run away, but after fighting to this point, how could Qiu Gang'ao let him escape so easily?

With a swift movement, the knife plunged deep into Ma Jiaorong's thigh, causing him to collapse to his knees in pain.

He then switched hands with the dagger and stabbed it towards Ma Jiaorong's throat.

Despite Ma Jiaorong's best efforts to resist, he still watched as the knife plunged viciously into his throat.

Crimson blood flowed down his arm.

Qiu Gang'ao grinned wickedly at Ma Jiaorong and said, "I didn't include you in this deal!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a knife and kicked Ma Jiaorong away.

He then casually tossed a USB drive onto Ma Jiaorong.

The USB drive contained route maps of Pan Asia Bank's armored trucks and information on the security personnel, which Qiu Gang'ao obtained at great expense.

However, his target was not these armored trucks; he acquired them to cover his tracks.

He and his men took away all the weapons and explosives that Ma Jiaorong had obtained and disappeared into the night.

……

Meanwhile, inside the police station.

Li Wenbin also used his methods to find out the target of Ma Jiaorong and others.

The target is Pan Asia Bank.

The problem now is that we don't know where they will start.

Li Wenbin looked at Zhang Chongbang with a headache and said, "All the evidence points to the armored truck, why do you think it doesn't?"

Zhang Chongbang immediately said, "I'm his colleague, I know what he's thinking! He definitely prioritizes revenge over robbery!"

“But you have to understand, if we misjudge, we might let these guys escape again!” Li Wenbin said seriously. Zhang Chongbang gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll take the responsibility!”

"Me too!"

"Inspector Lee, count me in!"

"Count me in too..."

Subsequently, Zhang Chongbang's men stood up to support him.

Li Wenbin almost laughed out of anger: "When did I say you guys were going to take the blame? I'm asking if you're confident you can bring Qiu Gang'ao back if you let him escape?"

Li Wenbin was never the kind of boss who would throw his subordinates out to take the blame; he was just considering the possibility of that situation.

Zhang Chongbang looked somewhat embarrassed: "Sir! I'm 80% sure they'll be at Pan Asia Bank. If I'm wrong, we still have one more chance, and that's with former Senior Superintendent Situ Jie!"

Hearing Zhang Chongbang's words, Li Wenbin weighed the pros and cons, then nodded and said, "Alright, everyone change your gear and get ready to go!"

Upon hearing that Li Wenbin had agreed, the entire Major Crimes Unit was extremely excited.

Get ready to go out and change clothes immediately.

At this moment, a group of people blocked Li Wenbin and his group's way, and said with a forced smile, "Li sir, where are you planning to go?"

"Internal Investigation Department?" Li Wenbin's eyes immediately sharpened.

The lead officer smiled and said to Li Wenbin, "Li sir, we need Chief Inspector Zhang Chongbang's cooperation in our investigation. Inspector Zhang has repeatedly disobeyed orders from his superiors, acted without authorization, and violated police regulations. We need to ask Inspector Zhang to come back and assist with the investigation!"

Li Wenbin put his hands on his hips and looked coldly at the people from the Internal Investigation Department, saying, "Who sent you here?"

"Officer Li, we're just following the rules, please don't make things difficult for us!" the officer from the Internal Affairs Investigation Bureau said with a smile.

Li Wenbin stepped forward and continued, "I'm asking you, who sent you here!"

Faced with Li Wenbin's aggressive demeanor, the people in the Internal Affairs Investigation Department were starting to feel overwhelmed.

Li Wenbin snorted coldly and said, "We are on a mission right now. Zhang Sir will report to your internal investigation department after the mission is over. Now get out of the way!"

"Li sir!" The internal investigation team's face immediately turned ugly.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Now, get out of my way!" Li Wenbin roared, startling many police officers in the station!
Ultimately, under Li Wenbin's powerful aura, the internal investigation team had no choice but to make way for him.

Seeing this, Zhang Chongbang and his subordinates couldn't help but feel fortunate to have such a good boss.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get this case going today, and that would be a lifelong regret for Zhang Chongbang.

As for why the Internal Investigation Department would come looking for trouble, Zhang Chongbang had some guesses in his mind.

It was during the dinner hosted by his brother Yuan Jiabao that he offended a group of corrupt members of the police force.

They came here to make things difficult for him, but they didn't expect to run into the even more domineering Li Wenbin.

After shoving the internal investigation team aside with their shoulders, the group immediately changed clothes and headed towards Pan Asia Bank.

They knew the capabilities of Qiu Gang'ao and his gang; if they really wanted to take Huo Zhaotang hostage, it wouldn't take them long at all.

At this time, Pan Asia Bank was holding a special shareholders' meeting.

As the largest private shareholder of Pan Asia Bank, Huo Zhaotang naturally had to take the stage to speak.

Some say that no merchant is honest, but actually, doing business is like fighting a war. How can you win a war without a shrewd mind? Who in this world is willing to be cannon fodder?

"..."

After his speech on the law of the jungle, Huo Zhaotang won a round of applause, which made him a little smug.

After the special shareholders' meeting, Huo Zhaotang chatted with a few people around him for a while before getting up to go to the restroom.

I don't know if it's because he's done too many bad things, but this guy even brought four bodyguards with him when he went to the toilet at his own bank.

Meanwhile, Qiu Gang'ao and his group had already arrived inside the Pan-Asia Bank.

They hijacked a cleaning company vehicle that was on its way to Pan Asia Bank for cleaning, and then used the documents to gain easy access to the bank.

After stuffing all the equipment into a small cart, the group went upstairs to the conference hall.

Just then, Huo Zhaotang entered the toilet.

Qiu Gangao gave Baozhu a wink, and Baozhu immediately went over and attracted the attention of one of the bodyguards standing outside the toilet.

Before the other party could react, Burst Beads struck fiercely, knocking the bodyguard to the ground.

The remaining two then rushed into the restroom and immediately took care of Huo Zhaotang's bodyguards.

Just as Huo Zhaotang pulled up his pants, a gun was pressed against his forehead, causing him to scream in terror, "Who are you people? Don't do anything rash!"

Qiu Gang'ao walked over with a hand grenade, and said to Huo Zhaotang with a sneer, "Long time no see, Mr. Huo!"

"It's you! What do you want?" Huo Zhaotang panicked even more.

If he hadn't refused to testify for these former police officers out of a desire to avoid trouble, they wouldn't have had to go to jail.

Now this group of people are coming to take revenge on him!
"Don't try anything funny!" Qiu Gang'ao said coldly to Huo Zhaotang, toying with the grenade in his hand.

After taking control of Huo Zhaotang, the group went directly to the bank's vault.

Uncle Quan first went to the monitoring room and turned off all the bank's surveillance cameras, then had Huo Zhaotang call the bank manager.

The bank manager, assuming the men behind Huo Zhaotang were his bodyguards, said enthusiastically, "Mr. Huo, everything you asked me to prepare is ready!"

Just then, Uncle Quan, who had gone to the security room to turn off the surveillance cameras, suddenly appeared, instantly knocked down the two men, and then pinned the bank manager against the wall, forcing him to open the vault door.

Then they pushed Huo Zhaotang inside.

Huo Zhaotang still wanted to play dumb, and said to Qiu Gang'ao, "Letting me in won't do any good! The departments here are independent!"

Who knew that Uncle Quan wouldn't listen to his nonsense at all, and directly dragged him to a panel.

Once facial recognition was successful, the vault door opened instantly.

Uncle Quan sneered, handed Huo Zhaotang to Baozhu beside him, and then pushed the bank manager in front of the safe, threatening, "Open the door!"

The bank manager hesitated for a moment, but Uncle Quan shot him in the thigh and continued to yell, "Open the door!"

The bank manager had no choice but to open the safe deposit box.

Immediately, a large pile of Hong Kong dollars and US dollars was placed in front of everyone.

Seeing the money under control, everyone smiled. Qiu Gang'ao said to the two men, "Go and fill the money!"

At this moment, Huo Zhaotang was terrified. After all, the safe had been opened, so they were essentially useless now.

So Huo Zhaotang, with snot and tears streaming down his face, said, "It's all my fault, I'm so sorry! I really thank you for saving me. I didn't mean to kill you in court back then, I really didn't! You really did kill someone!"

Facing Qiu Gang'ao's dark gun barrel, Huo Zhaotang kept crying and pleading, "There's so much money here, take it all! Wherever you want to go, I'll arrange it for you!"

Unfortunately, Qiu Gang'ao didn't listen to his nonsense at all.

The reason they have held out until now is to avenge themselves and their brothers.

So he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

With a loud "bang!", Huo Zhaotang had a bloody hole in his forehead and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing Huo Zhaotang killed by Qiu Gang'ao, the two men who were carrying the money looked back and their faces showed expressions of satisfaction.

The grudge from back then has been partially avenged.

After the three of them filled six travel bags, they immediately took the money bags and prepared to leave the bank.

Before they could even step out the door, Qiu Gang'ao immediately stopped them, saying, "Don't move, someone's coming!"

Qiu Gang'ao was right. At this time, Li Wenbin and Zhang Chongbang had arrived at the bank with their men and were negotiating with the security guards at the bank entrance.

Just as Qiu Gang'ao was about to look for another way out, Zhang Chongbang didn't care anymore. He shoved the two security guards aside and shouted loudly into the bank, "Qiu Gang'ao, I know you're in there. You can't escape now!"

At this moment, Li Wenbin and his three teams had already sealed off all the exits of the Pan-Asia Bank.

He pushed past the security guard at the door and strode in.

A ruthless glint flashed in Qiu Gang'ao's eyes. He hadn't forgotten that Zhang Chongbang was among those who had put them in jail.

So when Zhang Chongbang stormed into the bank, Qiu Gang'ao immediately picked up his rifle, walked around the corner, and fired a burst at Zhang Chongbang.

The moment Zhang Chongbang saw Qiu Gang'ao, he tensed up and immediately lay down, thus avoiding being riddled with bullets.

He then drew his sidearm and returned fire at Qiu Gang'ao. (End of Chapter)
