Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

After returning to the company, Chen Jiajun gathered the members of the suicide squad for a meeting.

The meeting began with a tirade against Barney, as he had done something incredibly foolish.

But the doctor didn't understand who Chen Jiajun was, and immediately became annoyed, saying to Barney, "Who is this kid? How can you tolerate being told this?"

Barney's lips twitched, and he explained helplessly to the doctor, "Our sugar daddy, everything here belongs to him! Including our lives."

"Oh? So it's because he's been fed that he's indebted to someone!" the doctor said mockingly.

Barney frowned and said, "Doctor, don't say anymore. This time it was indeed my mistake in command."

"I'm just not happy..." the doctor said with a disdainful look.

But this guy kept rambling on and on, and Chen Jiajun overheard him.

He sneered and said, "Scott Defrey... one of the former members of the Expendables, skilled in melee weapons and stealth combat, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" The doctor completely ignored Chen Jiajun, displaying an arrogant and unruly demeanor.

But after he said that, the room immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked at the doctor with strange expressions.

The doctor, puzzled, looked at his teammates and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Christmas couldn't help but say, "You're going to be in trouble."

As expected, Chen Jiajun said calmly, "Old Evil, go keep this doctor company and let him play with knives. Let him know what it means for a knife to be faster than a mouth!"

The old man sitting behind Chen Jiajun beckoned to the doctor provocatively, then headed straight for the training ground.

The doctor immediately flew into a rage and stormed after the old man.

After the doctor left, Chen Jiajun addressed the group, asking, "Who were the people who targeted you this time?"

“Stone Banks, according to intelligence from the CIA, he’s probably an arms dealer,” Barney said in a deep voice.

"An arms dealer?" Chen Jiajun sneered. "If the CIA is targeting them, they must be selling something extraordinary, right?"

Barney nodded: "Our mission this time is to investigate a missing nuclear bomb. And it's something that leaked from the United States, so they couldn't come forward themselves and handed it over to us."

“We received information that they would be making a deal in Mogadishu, Somalia, that day, so I led a team there to carry out the mission, intending to retrieve the nuclear bomb…”

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "So, it was the arms dealers who attacked us first?"

“That’s right!” Barney breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Jiajun didn’t intend to pursue the matter further.

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Very well, since this Stone Banks dares to touch my people, then let's take care of him too!"

"Huh?" Barney looked at Chen Jiajun in surprise. It seemed that Chen Jiajun was planning to avenge them.

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "When we recruited you, we made it clear to you that you are from Guojun Security Company. If anything happens to you, it will damage Guojun's reputation! You should know that Guojun Security Company has never failed a mission so far!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen Jiajun did say that when he recruited them.

It's only natural that Chen Jiajun is now avenging them.

Only Barney said to Chen Jiajun very seriously, "Thank you, big boss!"

Chen Jiajun gave Barney a disgruntled look and said, "As a commander, you just need to be less impulsive in the future! What did the CIA say? They can't expect us to gather intelligence ourselves, can they?"

Barney immediately got to work: "The CIA has sent word that Stone Banks will reappear in Romania in a week to conduct a deal!"

Chen Jiajun nodded: "Very good. I'll give you a week to rest, and then you'll head straight to Romania."

As everyone was talking, the doctor returned dejectedly.

However, this guy now had several bloody marks on his face and body, and his clothes were tattered, making him look like a homeless person.

Upon seeing this, the members of the suicide squad couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

Barney couldn't help but laugh out loud and said to the doctor, "Looks like you've learned your lesson?"

The doctor looked at the expressionless old man who had returned to Chen Jiajun's side and whispered to Barney, "Just who is this boss? Even a random bodyguard under him is this kind of monster?"

Barney had no choice but to tell the doctor what had happened during their mission in South America.

After hearing this, the doctor's eyes widened in disbelief: "That's incredible! You went to the drug lords' hideout and slaughtered them all?"

Barney spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, what do you think Guojun Security Company is? It's just that its scale and level are not yet comparable to Blackwater, otherwise it would have been the world's number one security company long ago."

The doctor exclaimed in surprise, "Looks like we've finally found a powerful backer!"

"So you'd better behave yourself. There are plenty of monsters at Guojun Security Company. Be careful you don't get tortured again!" Barney said with a laugh, patting the doctor on the shoulder.

The suicide squad was given a week to rest before heading directly to Romania.

These small Eastern European countries are the preferred trading grounds for arms dealers.

Of course, Chen Jiajun's intelligence department also kept up with the news.

After all, this time the opponent is an old friend, the Ether Society, and we know how well these guys can hide.

So before the suicide squad set off, Old Evil had already taken his intelligence team to their positions in Romania.

On the day of the transaction, everyone waited at the hotel entrance for the target to appear.

In the morning at the hotel, Chen Jiajun sat in a street-side coffee shop reading the newspaper.

Suddenly a black SUV pulled up, followed by two bodyguard cars.

Chen Jiajun calmly said through his earpiece, "Target detected!"

His intelligence department immediately took action, photographing and documenting the personnel and armament of Stone Banks' entourage.

That alone is something that Barney's team couldn't have done.

Barney saw a group of guys dressed as tourists snapping photos of Stone Banks.

Barney said to Chen Jiajun, "This guy is heavily protected; we can't make a move here."

Chen Jiajun nodded: "It's not just a problem with his bodyguards, but also with the Romanian government. If we make too much of a fuss, we'll be in big trouble."

Keep in mind that they entered the country under the name of Guojun Security Company. If they cause too much trouble, they could get into trouble.

Therefore, Chen Jiajun rejected the idea of ​​taking action at a certain location, and everyone withdrew to prepare for another opportunity.

“Then let’s go to the art gallery. They’ll be making their deals there!” Old Evil said to Chen Jiajun and Barney inside the safe house.

Chen Jiajun looked at the old man and said, "Plan?"

Old Evil nodded, then took out a blueprint of an art gallery.

Then, pointing in a direction, he said, "My men will help distract the security guards and hack the system. Barney, you guys can just launch a surprise attack. You have ten minutes."

"This is too much time, could it be a little less?" Christmas complained.

The old man said irritably, "If you admit you're old, just say so, and I can send my men."

Barney nodded and said, "Enough time. It's just a surprise attack!"

The old man warned, "I must warn you, don't make too much noise! ​​This art gallery is a key protected site in Romania. If you trigger the alarm or make too much noise, the entire Romanian police force will come to arrest you."

Barney nodded: "Understood, travel light."

"This is so boring!" Caesar, the big bomber, was immediately unhappy, as his newly purchased equipment could not be used.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said to Caesar, "Don't worry, you'll get your chance to shine later! After all, we're here to avenge you!"

Caesar was overjoyed: "Thank you, Boss!"

Chen Jiajun nodded and said, "Alright, that's the plan. We'll make our move at 11 p.m. But remember, arrest both the buyer and the seller! Old Evil's men will be on the perimeter to prevent anyone from escaping, understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone nodded and then went to make preparations.

It was 11 p.m. outside an art gallery in Romania.

Barney's men were already prepared above the exhibition hall. Everyone was strapped in with rappelling ropes, ready to storm in from above.

Meanwhile, the intelligence and electronic warfare departments under the old villain's command are ready.

Once the time is up, we'll lure the security guard away and then cut off the power.

"Alright everyone, prepare for action." Barney, as the commander, gave the order directly.

The suicide squad grabbed the rappelling ropes and jumped off the roof.

The electronic warfare unit hacked into the building's security system, easily letting the suicide squad inside.

At this time, the other party's personnel were inspecting the transaction location.

Just as the operation was proceeding smoothly, Old Evil's voice suddenly rang out in the channel: "Everyone, I think we're in trouble!"

"What's wrong?" Barney asked, frowning.

“The buyer arrived early, so you’re facing twice the number of people!” Old Evil glanced at the monitor and said calmly to Barney.

Barney took a deep breath and then said to his men, "Speed ​​up and get to the designated location!"

The Expendables were already quite fast, but now time was running out.

Fortunately, these old guys were experienced enough to quickly take care of the sentries and get them to the designated location.

Meanwhile, Stone Banks had already made contact with the buyer.

The buyer was an old man wearing a black trench coat and a felt hat; he appeared to be Slavic.

Moreover, their demeanor clearly suggests they are members of a gang.

Stone Banks said to the old man, "You're early!"

"I'm used to arriving early."

“What do you think?” Stone Banks asked, looking at the painting in front of him.

Unfortunately, he had clearly asked the wrong person. These kinds of mob bosses are usually not very educated and could only say, "That's right!"

“This is the real deal. I paid a hefty price for this painting,” Stone Banks said, staring at the artwork before him. “I’ve always thought it’s about conviction!”

However, he soon realized that he was talking to a brick wall.

He said to his subordinates, rather disappointed, "We need to let the customer inspect the goods first!"

His men nodded and pried open some crates, revealing the weapons inside.

Stone Banks is different from Chen Jiajun's brother, Ah Jie; this guy doesn't use light weapons.

The crates were filled with all sorts of bombs, rocket launchers, and other deadly weapons.

"Haha, thank you so much!" The old man laughed and extended his hand.

Stone Banks shook hands with him and said, "You're welcome. I heard you needed it urgently, so I sent over a batch."

"But...can we try it?" the old man asked tentatively.

Stone Banks was silent for a moment, then surprisingly agreed: "No problem, but let's see how it goes during shipping. I won't let my loyal customers down!"

While the two were talking, Barney's men had already cleared out the surrounding sentries and reached their designated position.

Barney said softly, "Everyone is in position."

"Ready? One, two, three, turn off the lights!" Old Evil looked at the situation on the monitor and then immediately ordered his men to cut off the power to the exhibition hall.

In an instant, the entire exhibition hall was plunged into darkness.

Barney and his team donned night vision goggles and began clearing out the bodyguards from both sides.

They chose a good position; everyone was within their line of fire.

So the moment the guns opened fire, more than a dozen people were taken down.

The sudden attack caught Stone Banks and the gang members completely off guard.

Everyone was running around like headless flies.

However, Stone Banks is a former member of the Expendables, so he's obviously got some skills.

Everyone else was firing indiscriminately, but he grabbed two bodyguards and ran quickly toward the fire escape.

However, the place he left out was a trap set by the old evil man.

Although the power in the exhibition hall was cut off, such facilities usually have backup power.

It's impossible for a truly wicked person to cut off the backup power as well.

Fortunately, due to modernization, the exhibition hall underwent an upgrade, and all the rooms were equipped with electronic locks.

This provides an excellent environment for the old evildoer to set traps.

The old villain ordered the members in charge of electronic warfare to lock all the electromechanical rooms in the exhibition hall's fire escape, leaving only one that could be opened.

Stone Banks' men panicked and retreated directly outside the room.

For the boss's safety, his bodyguards pushed Stone Banks into the machine room, and then they set up a perimeter in the corridor.

To their surprise, after they pushed Stone Banks into the room, the old evil man ordered the room locked again and said into the walkie-talkie, "The target is in the cage."

Christmas, who had been hiding there waiting for the other party to take the bait, silently fell through the ventilation shaft, then killed Stone Banks' bodyguard with a single slash, and then electrocuted him.

Meanwhile, Barney and his men also captured the Soviet gang leader.

Or rather, the other party simply crashed into their encirclement, effortlessly taking down the people around him before being knocked unconscious by Barney's headbutt.

Once the objective was achieved, everyone immediately retreated.

Only Stone Banks' men and gang members remained in the exhibition hall, firing at each other.

Chen Jiajun, who was in charge of the backup, glanced at his watch; only eight minutes had passed.

"Good job, very efficient! Get in the car quickly, we're leaving the city!" Chen Jiajun said to everyone.

They stuffed the two unconscious men into the car, and then everyone got in and drove straight out of the city.

If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave at all.

This level of unrest would definitely lead to a citywide curfew in Romania.

Stone Banks quickly regained consciousness in the car.

"Good morning!" He spat out a mouthful of blood and glanced at the group in the car. "These are all your new students? They don't look very promising, Barney!"

"Hey kids, what are you learning tonight? You probably won't learn anything from this old man, right? But you've probably learned a lot about meddling in other people's business, haven't you?"

Hearing this guy's taunt, Christmas said helplessly, "Why not just kill him! I'll do it, it'll be clean and quick!"

As he spoke, Christmas pulled out a knife, looking like he was about to bleed the guy dry.

The doctor standing nearby said helplessly, "This guy's mouth is always so foul; don't let him affect Barney!"

"Hey, I didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance! Doctor, you're working for Barney again? You'll be dead at his hands sooner or later!" Stonebanks said mockingly.

The doctor also had a short temper, and he went up and punched the old man twice.

But instead of seeing a doctor, the guy said to Barney, "How about we settle this score? Let's settle it one-on-one, that'll be fair!"

“I’m telling the truth, that’s my only wish. You’ll die a horrible death, come on! Take whatever you want! Come on, you’re very good at it. Want to try what we did before again?”

Barney's voice turned cold as he said to Stone Banks, "If this starts, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist killing you and then throwing you into the sea!"

“Really?” Stone Banks burst out laughing. “Don’t be ridiculous, I’m a war criminal!”

"Do you think you can safely get me to where I want to go?"

At this point, Stone Banks suddenly revealed a sly smile. (End of Chapter)
