Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 238 Zhang Chongbang Petrochemical: The police have completely lost face!

A large-caliber bullet whizzed through the air and shattered the head of one of the bandits.

The moment the brains and blood exploded, Zhang Shih-hao's accomplices were instantly thrown into an uproar.

"We've been exposed! There are police officers here! There are police officers here!"

The moment the strategist with the big beard saw this, his pupils dilated, and he roared, "There's a sniper on the other side! Take cover!"

Ah Feng, an accomplice, tensed up, quickly pulled out a gun, crouched down, and slipped to the window, pulling the curtains shut.

The rest of Ah Zhi and his companions also looked tense, hurriedly pulling out their guns and warily watching the doorway.

The inner room was guarded by Zhang Shih-hao's mistress, a beautiful woman named A-fang, along with two trusted confidantes.

Hearing the commotion outside, her expression changed drastically. She immediately cocked her gun, opened the dog cage, and from inside, pointed the gun at Young Master He's head and pulled him out.

The others raised their guns, pointed them at the door, and were ready to fight at any moment.

Although no one understood what had happened on Zhang Shih-hao's side, one thing was clear to everyone: their situation had been exposed!

The bandit king's accomplices were thrown into chaos by a sudden bullet, their rhythm disrupted.

This attack was so sudden.

They weren't even fully prepared yet.

"Boom!"

Outside the gate, a breaching tool slammed into it with a loud bang, and the gate was smashed open.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Big Beard, Ah Feng, Ah Zhi, and the others used pillars, cabinets, and sofas as cover, and the moment the door was kicked open, they immediately opened fire on the outside.

The bullets sent sparks flying, and the brass cartridge cases clattered to the ground, releasing a strong smell of gunpowder.

"Gululu!"

Instead of bullets, they were met with a large, round, black pineapple.

The moment they saw this thing, Big Beard, Ah Feng, and the others instantly went blank.

Holy crap, are these police or criminals? They're even more insane than the police!
They actually threw a pineapple!
Aren't you afraid of blowing up the hostages?

Subconsciously, Big Beard and Ah Feng and the others mistook the forces that came to rescue Young Master He for the police.

In their impression, the police have always been cautious and meticulous in their work, taking into account both the beginning and the end.

Safety is usually the primary concern, and the law must also be respected, so actions are taken with some restraint.

Therefore, whenever they clashed with the police, as long as they had a hostage, they were able to control the police.

But this surprise attack completely overturned their impressions.

If the other person starts by simply and rudely throwing pineapples at you, can you handle that?

Are these even police officers? This is outrageous!

What they didn't know was that the people who came weren't police officers, but rather ruthless bandits who were even more vicious than they were.

No, to be precise, he was a notorious bandit who had once worked as a policeman.

They possess the qualities of a police officer, as well as the swift, accurate, and ruthless nature of a notorious criminal.

This is similar to the difference between a doctor in a regular hospital and a medic in a field hospital.

Hospital doctors must adhere to aseptic techniques, ensure patients' post-operative quality of life, and prevent medical disputes by following proper procedures.

As for battlefield medics, there's only one rule: if you're about to die, you have to survive before you can even talk about infection. Just don't die at your own hands.

Ordinary doctors: Saving lives and healing the wounded!

Field medic: As long as you're alive!

Similarly, for Qiu Gang'ao and others...

Whether the building is damaged or not is irrelevant as long as the mission is accomplished, and whether the kidnappers can be brought to justice is also irrelevant.

As long as the hostages are rescued safely, that's all that matters.

What business is it of theirs to clean up the mess?

Any method can be used as long as it is efficient and fast.

In any case, this operation is a war for wealth.

Even if there's a problem with the building, it's no big deal. As one of the four major real estate developers, as long as his son can be rescued, he'll do anything, whether it's repairing a building or building another one.

If the scale is larger, there's absolutely no problem.

Moreover, based on experience, they knew very well the power of the pineapple in their hands and that it wouldn't affect the hostages inside the room through a door.

Police: The process must be reasonable, legal, and compliant!

Protective umbrella: As long as the goal is achieved!

This giant pineapple rolled twice before coming to a steady stop in front of Big Beard and Ah Feng.

Looking at the pineapple, they were all stunned, their faces turned pale, and cold sweat instantly soaked their backs.

He immediately frantically searched for cover, his face pale with worry.

"boom!"

The pineapple exploded with a loud bang, leaving the entire room in a mess.

A scene of chaos unfolded, with people and horses falling and cries of agony filling the air.

This custom-made giant pineapple, while not powerful enough to blow up an entire house, is enough to knock over a few people.

This completely stunned the bearded man and his crew.

They felt dizzy, their ears and noses were bleeding, and they were temporarily unable to fight.

Before they could catch their breath, several figures rushed in from outside the door.

To take advantage of someone's illness and kill them.

That's the effect we wanted from throwing the pineapple.

Qiu Gang'ao and his men, each carrying a gun, rushed in and opened fire without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Bullets swept across the room, aimed at every possible hiding place—cabinets, beds, tables, sofas—and opened fire.

Full firepower coverage, gunfire echoed throughout the living room, bullets so dense it was like a net of bullets, sweeping across every area.

The goal is to suppress the kidnappers to the greatest extent possible, giving them no chance to retaliate.

The current protector is Dog Dafu, who is rich and powerful, with plenty of bullets, and only cares about ensuring the safety of his own brothers.

Moreover, with a tycoon like Ho Yu-kei making the purchase, he's incredibly generous and there's no need to worry about the budget.

Just do it!

In the living room outside, the fight was in full swing.

Just now, the pineapple exploded in the living room, causing a commotion in the inner room as well.

The shockwave from the explosion blasted the door away.

The explosion caught everyone inside off guard, and Afang was thrown into a frenzy by the blast.

"on!"

At that moment, Ah Ji, who was hanging on the outer wall, seized the opportunity, gave a command, and kicked his legs against the wall, swinging high into the air before falling heavily back down.

"Crash!"

The window glass was kicked and shattered.

Aji, dressed in white, burst through the window and landed on the ground with a thud, as if a divine soldier had descended from the heavens.

After landing, he made a series of leaps, jumping high into the air and dodging a burst of bullets.

Then, with a swift and elegant movement, he fired a shot in mid-air, taking down one of the kidnappers.

The other two members of the black squad quickly opened fire, killing the man before he could even fire back.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot!"

Young Master He's terrified voice rang out sharply.

Ah-Ji and his two brothers stopped what they were doing.

As if grasping at a straw, Ah Fang clung tightly to Young Master He, pressing the gun firmly against his head.

Just now there were snipers, bombs, and aerial rappelling—it's like the Flying Tigers.

After these people broke into the house, Afang finally realized that this group of people were not police officers.

She thought they were a group of well-equipped, ruthless bandits who killed without blinking an eye.

Regardless of the other party's identity, Afang felt that this kind of behavior was definitely not that of a righteous army.

Faced with such a behemoth, she knew very well that she was no match for it.

However, she understood that the other party's purpose in coming here could only be one thing: to rescue Young Master He.

As long as Young Master He is in her hands, there is still a glimmer of hope.

"Let me leave safely, or I'll drag Young Master He down with me!"

Ah Fang held He Da Shao hostage and threatened him loudly.

At this moment, the kidnappers in the outer room had all been dealt with, and Qiu Gang'ao led the group to surround Afang.

The air pressure inside the small room suddenly dropped, and a tense atmosphere descended.

Aji and Qiu Gangao exchanged a glance, neither of them backing down, but instead slowly took a step forward.

"Don't come any closer, I really will shoot!"

Ah Fang hid her face behind Young Master He's terrified face and screamed.

From this angle, even the sniper on the other side couldn't aim at her head.

"Let's see if your gun is faster, or our hands are faster!"

Qiu Gang'ao sneered, gave Aji a look, and the two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

The next second, Qiu Gang'ao reached behind his back with both hands, pulled out a butterfly knife, and flung it away.

Ah-Ji instantly sprang into action, pushed off with his feet, and leaped into the air again, hurdling over the two of them.

"boom!"

Ah-Ji's jumping ability was astonishing; in mid-air, he aimed directly at Ah-Fang's head and fired.

A bullet pierced through Afang's head and went straight down.

Unwilling to accept defeat, she pulled the trigger in her last moments before losing consciousness.

"boom!"

The bullet missed, grazing Young Master He's nose before hitting the wall.

Afang fell to the ground, and a butterfly knife pierced her forearm, going right through it.

Throughout the entire process, Ah-Ji and Qiu-Gang-Ao, both highly skilled and daring, acted simultaneously without exchanging a single word.

One person is responsible for taking down Afang.

One person was responsible for ensuring the safety of Young Master He.

The entire operation was clean, efficient, and seamless, leaving the audience in awe.

Young Master He, who had survived the ordeal, was unable to utter a single word, his whole body trembling like a leaf.

Looking at Afang lying dead on the ground with her eyes wide open, I felt a wave of fear. That bullet was just one millimeter away from being fired.

Then, Li Dadan quickly stepped forward, unbuttoned He Dashao's clothes, and carefully examined him. There was no explosives on him.

It seems these kidnappers were just bluffing when they were filming the video.

Everything is settled.

"Operation complete. Escort Young Master He back to Taiping Mountain to reunite with his father!" Qiu Gang'ao said calmly, as if he had completed a trivial task.

The rest of the people had joy on their faces.

The success of this operation means a hefty bonus and a higher rating; it's no wonder people are happy.

The key point is that there were no casualties.

This is the biggest victory.

……

Taiping Mountain.

He Yuji held a cigar, his heart filled with anxiety, but on the surface he remained calm and composed, as if Mount Tai were collapsing before him.

Chen Shixian sipped his tea, looking completely calm.

He had great confidence in his team; having gone through so many operations, the team was already very professional and coordinated.

"Ring ring ring!"

Chen Shixian's phone rang.

He Yuji's hand holding the cigar tightened involuntarily as he nervously watched Chen Shixian, his ears perking up.

Now, any phone call or any message is enough to put him on edge.

They were afraid of receiving some bad news.

After Chen Shixian answered the phone, Qiu Gangao's voice came through the line.

"Brother Xian, the operation has been successfully completed. We are taking Young Master He back to Victoria Peak."

"Very good, well done!"

Chen Shixian praised him generously.

Upon hearing this, He Yuji eagerly asked with concern, "Mr. Chen, could you ask if my son is alive and well?"

"Are you injured?"

Upon hearing the question, Qiu Gang'ao immediately replied, "After a preliminary examination, Young Master He suffered some superficial injuries and mild dehydration. With proper rest, he will be fine!"

Upon hearing this news, He Yuji breathed a sigh of relief; a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

His face lit up with joy, and he thanked Chen Shixian excitedly: "Mr. Chen, thank you so much!"

He Yuji was extremely grateful that he had not blindly trusted the police, but instead chose to protect them.

In just two hours, Chen Shixian turned the tide, rescued his son, and saved him the astronomical ransom of 3 billion.

This is not just a business commission; they are also benefactors to the He family.

If Zhang Shih-hao succeeds in his extortion and kidnapping, and loses 3 billion, then besides the financial loss, the news will definitely affect the company's stock price.

In that case, the losses will be far more than three billion.

If Zhang Shih-hao fails to extort money, he will likely kill the hostage, and his only son will be killed.

This was even harder for him to accept than the financial loss.

Now, with both people and wealth secured, it's a cause for celebration.

"Mr. He, there's no need to be so polite. Protecting the safety of our employers is our duty as a protector."

Chen Shixian smiled and said something official, which was also an emphasis on the existence of the protective umbrella.

Just as he was trying to deepen his relationship with Ho Yu-kei and take the opportunity to propose a business collaboration.

The villa's gate was pushed open.

Big Chef Sir and Zhang Chongbang, along with their men, returned to the villa.

"Mr. He, we've arrived in two hours."

Big Chef Sir seemed certain that Chen Shixian's side wouldn't get any results, and with a superior air, he looked at Chen Shixian with a serious expression:

"Hand Zhang Shih-hao over to our police."

"We don't have much time left, so let's not waste any more."

He Yu-kei and Chan Sai-yin exchanged a glance after hearing what Big Chef Sir said, feeling it was absurd.

"Explosive Beads, hand Brother Hao over to Officer Big Che!"

Chen Shixian offered no explanation or obstruction, simply waving his hand dismissively.

The great white shark chuckled and muttered under its breath, "Taking on a task you're not qualified for, what a waste of your time!"

"In the end, it's still us police who have to clean up the mess."

Bursting Beads, carrying the ashen-faced Zhang Shih-hao, suddenly shoved him in front of the Great White Shark, nearly knocking him over.

He sneered and said sarcastically, "You've already taken your dump, of course someone has to wipe your butt!"

"Because we don't want our hands to get dirty!"

The words from the bouncy bead were crude and unpleasant, causing the great white shark's face to flush crimson as it shouted, "What are you talking about?!"

"Can't you understand human language?"

The popping bead, chest puffed out, took a half-step closer, nose to nose, like a victorious rooster, proudly raising its head and shouting:
"I'm saying, the case's solved, the shit's done, and you police are just there to connect the dots, you're utterly useless. Asking you to clean up the mess is an understatement!"

The case is solved?!

The expressions on the faces of Officer Daqie, Zhang Chongbang, Great White Shark, and the rest of the police officers all changed.

A head full of question marks.

Although the words about the menthol capsules were harsh, they still managed to grasp the key point.

That means the case is solved.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Chen Shixian in disbelief.

"How...how was it broken?"

Big Chester Sir spoke urgently, his words pausing slightly.

Bursting Beads proudly boasted, "Of course it's our Brother Xian. He's incredibly insightful. With just a few calculations, he figured out the address where Young Master He was kidnapped."

"Room 1212, 12th Floor, Hong Wo House, Public Housing Estate, Ho Man Tin Tung, Kowloon Tong!"

"Isn't that amazing!"

"Are you sure you can do it?"

Zhang Chongbang and Great White Shark stared wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief.

How is that possible? That's not scientific!
It must be fake. Chen Shixian is just doing this to delay the police, give them a fake address, and embarrass them.

This is revenge.

This must be revenge!

This was Zhang Chongbang's first thought.

“Chen Shixian, this is a hostage rescue, not child’s play. Stop playing those little tricks.”

“Even if we have a grudge, you shouldn’t use Young Master He’s life to harm us.”

"When the time comes, just make up a fake address to fool people, but don't go too far!"

Zhang Chongbang, his face tense, spoke loudly.

"Zhang sir, don't say that. Is it so hard to admit that someone is excellent?"

"Mr. Chen's method of finding out where my son was being held is absolutely scientific!"

He Yuji couldn't stand it anymore and quickly spoke up to help.

"He Sheng, don't be deceived by him."

“Zhang Shih-hao is the leader of the King of Thieves. He has an excellent mental fortitude. How could he possibly get the address in such a short time?”

Zhang Chongbang simply didn't believe it.

“Inspector Zhang, there are always people more capable than you, and there’s always something beyond your understanding. I don’t blame you for not knowing.”

"After all, Mr. Chen's methods are truly astonishing; this is the first time I've ever seen anything like them."

"With just a micro-expression observation technique, Zhang Shih-hao confessed without any confession. Your so-called king of thieves didn't even utter a single punctuation mark throughout the entire process."

"And so, the address was locked."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

He Yuji's earnest explanation left Zhang Chongbang and Daqie Sir speechless.

What the hell?

How can you force Zhang Shih-hao to confess without giving a single statement?

This technique exists only in legend within the police force's criminal investigation and interrogation department; no one can actually do it, not even those who have been in the force for so many years.

I've only heard that there's a police detective named Yao Xuechen who can read minds and do that.

Chen Shixian didn't have this ability before he entered Stanley.
How could such a method be possible?

However, judging from He Yuji's serious expression and Zhang Shihao's dejected look, it doesn't seem fake.

Chen Shixian smiled throughout and remained silent.

With his talent and ability, people will naturally endorse him.

Daqie Sir and Zhang Chongbang were speechless for a moment. Regardless of whether it was true or false, at least Chen Shixian had given a precise address.

The police couldn't even find a hair on their feet.

Now that we have the exact address, it's impossible not to take action.

So, with a stern face, Inspector Daqie instructed his subordinates, "Zhang Chongbang, you are appointed as the on-site commander. Send someone to verify the authenticity of the address."

"Once confirmed, act immediately to rescue Young Master He."

"There's no need for you to verify the address."

Chen Shixian chuckled lightly, waved his hand unhurriedly, and said at the opportune moment, "Big Chef, I think you can call and ask the Kowloon Tong Division Chief."

"Actually, Young Master He has already been saved."

"Our protective umbrella is always one step ahead, serving as the last line of defense for the safety of our employers!"

Finally, Chen Shixian didn't forget to do an advertisement.

boom!
Chen Shixian's words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, leaving Big Cheek Sir, Zhang Chongbang, Big White Shark, and others completely stunned.

Young Master He has been rescued?!

How can this be? !
This news was absolutely earth-shattering.

Could it be that an hour ago, when the Umbrella Corporation's car left Victoria Peak, they weren't being kicked out, but instead going to rescue Young Master Ho?
This means that Chen Shixian, in less than an hour, obtained the exact address of the notorious thief Zhang Shihao without any confession!

And then, the Protector, in just one hour, dealt with the King of Thieves' accomplices and rescued Young Master He?!
Officers Daqie Sir and Zhang Chongbang looked at each other in bewilderment.

They now suspected that they hadn't just been at the villa's entrance for two hours, but for two days, or even two months!

This news is just too unbelievable!
"Crench!"

At that moment, the sound of car brakes came from the doorway, followed by a series of noisy footsteps.

"Dad, I'm home!"

The door opened again, and Young Master He, wrapped in a thermal blanket, walked into the villa. His eyes were moist as he looked at He Yuji and called out weakly.

When Officer Daqie and Zhang Chongbang, along with other officers, saw that Young Master He was truly standing in front of them, they were all petrified.

In that instant, everyone knew that the police had truly become a mere figurehead.

They lost completely.

Big Chef Sir and Cheung Chung-pong looked ashen-faced.

The police have completely lost face!
