Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 244 One call to arms, ten thousand respond; Boss Xian, you're awesome!

"Inspector Liao, if even the Hong Kong British government couldn't handle this, do you think you can resolve it with just one phone call?"

"Don't get involved in this kind of situation."

"What retired emperor, what 'grandfather Lu'? I have no idea, it has nothing to do with me."

"As for Jimmy and Big D being shareholders of United Construction, it's perfectly reasonable for them to bring some people to celebrate and offer their congratulations on the groundbreaking ceremony for Genesis Properties today!"

Chen Shixian stepped onto the red carpet. The sunlight was perfect, and a gentle breeze caressed his face, making him look radiant.

Even when Liao Zhizong came to interrogate him, he answered with a smile on his face, appearing calm and composed.

It didn't look like they were dealing with the police at all.

“Chen Shixian, let me be frank with you, this matter has already alarmed the Governor of Hong Kong. I was ordered by the Chief Executive to deal with you.”

"A special task force has now been set up to deal with the village encirclement issue."

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. I'll just ask you one question: do you think you have a chance of winning against the walled village and against Grandpa?"

"Think it through before you speak!"

Liao Zhizong's extremely serious voice came from the phone, presenting facts and reasoning, with warnings and threats in his words.

"Inspector Liao, this isn't a school trip. Do you need to think things through before you speak?"

“Today I was just conducting normal business operations. The top leader called me personally, and that’s what I said.”

“If Grandpa Lu doesn’t bother me, I naturally won’t cause trouble.”

"If it's about causing trouble, I'm not afraid of it!"

Whether you have a chance of winning or not is none of your concern!

"If you're really worried, why don't you call Lu Hantao and tell him to behave himself!"

Chen Shixian chuckled softly and said coldly.

"Fuck your mother, Chen Shixian, do you know what you're saying? Don't be so arrogant!!"

Upon hearing this, Liao Zhizong's face darkened, and he immediately exploded, gritting his teeth and shouting curses.

"Beep beep..."

Chen Shixian ignored Liao Zhizong's anger and hung up the phone.

"Push to the street!"

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Liao Zhizong slammed the phone down: "Chen Shixian, you damn bastard, can't you just behave yourself for once!"

"Damn, they're not afraid of getting into big trouble."

Liao Zhizong was yelling and swearing in his office when Huang Zhicheng and Ma Jun happened to arrive.

This incident has blown up, and the higher-ups are having a real headache.

Therefore, the anti-gang task forces of several districts cooperated across districts to carry out a joint operation targeting the village siege.

Ma Jun was also transferred back from the Silver Band.

Huang Zhicheng, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked somewhat surprised when he saw Liao Zhizong's exasperated expression.

He had dealt with Liao Zhizong quite a bit and they had a certain relationship. This guy had been relatively stable in his emotions for more than ten years and rarely swore.

So he took out his cigarette and asked, "Officer Liao, what's going on? Why are you so irritable? Did some foreigner seduce you?"

"The only ones who get screwed over by foreigners here are you and Ma Jun. Who would expect me to be?"

Liao Zhizong was seething with anger, and when he saw the person who came, he snapped at him irritably.

Ma Jun blushed, gave an awkward laugh, and remained silent; his complaint letters were piled up in stacks.

Being teased by superiors and foreigners is commonplace.

Huang Zhicheng is shameless. The main reason he was hanged was that he was rough in his actions, had a strong sense of gangsterism, and didn't pay attention to building good relationships.

So he laughed shamelessly, "When you pick your nose with your finger, nobody knows whether it feels better to pick your nose or your finger. When foreigners tease me, I just treat it like a donkey braying. Watching a donkey bray is also quite enjoyable."

"You worthless wretch!"

Liao Zhizong cursed irritably, picked up a stack of documents from the table, and stuffed them into Huang Zhicheng's arms: "Stop yelling, let's go and get someone to do the work."

"That scoundrel Chen Shixian is now rallying thousands of people with a single call to arms. I think he's planning a massive battle to raze the besieged village to the ground!"

Holding the documents, Huang Zhicheng instantly lost his composure: "Damn, this guy's gone mad!"

"A battle of ten thousand men, wouldn't the besieged village be turned upside down? What is Chen Shixian trying to do?"

"I'm so irritable because I don't know what he's trying to do!"

Liao Zhizong sighed and replied.

Chen Shixian's actions have always been unpredictable, and this time, the storm he stirred up by besieging the village is even more baffling.

Going against Grandpa Lu would bring him absolutely no benefit; I really don't know what he was thinking.

"Fuck!"

Huang Zhicheng was cursing, and sweat was already beading on his forehead. The unknown and the uncertain are what give people the biggest headache.

Ma Jun was a man of action. Upon hearing this, his brows furrowed tightly, and he immediately set off, saying as he walked, "If it were me, I would be even more irritable!"

"Let's go, let's get moving!"

"Let's get things done first and talk about it later."

Liao Zhizong and Huang Zhicheng, along with a few others, immediately followed and headed to the conference room.

Soon, all the police stations sprang into action, mobilizing personnel from various departments to surround the village, fearing that something might go wrong and cause a major problem.

The key point is that the police had no idea what Chen Shixian wanted to do by gathering so many people.

That's terrifying!
If a massive display of horses by tens of thousands of people were to actually take place, it would truly be unprecedented and unparalleled.

When Liao Zhizong, Huang Zhicheng, and Ma Jun arrived at the walled village with their men, they were still taken aback by Chen Shixian's extravagant gesture.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, seeing hundreds of cars of various colors parked all over the mountains was still quite a sight.

The sight of the henchmen and workers gathered together in a huge, swarming mass still gave me a chill down my spine.

There are hundreds or even thousands of people maintaining order around the construction site.

Along the road leading to the ceremony site, there was a bodyguard in a suit with a serious expression standing every meter.

Honestly, even these cops who deal with gangs every day and are used to big scenes were shocked by this scene.

I've never seen such a grand groundbreaking ceremony in my life.

"Damn it, Chen Shixian isn't holding a groundbreaking ceremony, he's clearly preparing for a burial ceremony!"

"If we let them fight, we'll bury them on the spot; we'll have to dig a mass grave!"

Huang Zhicheng was amazed and watched the scene from afar with a furrowed brow.

After the collapse of the money empire, I've never seen thousands of people fighting over horses.

Based on his experience, these gangs in Hong Kong Island are more about showing off than actually fighting; the more people there are, the less likely a real fight will break out.

Now, things are different in walled villages.

These unruly villagers around the village don't care about anything else.

If Grandpa gives the order, they will really swarm in, and mortars might even be brought out.

Back then, when the struggle for the right to have male offspring took place, the police were treated like dirt, and they were beaten without any mercy. These were lessons learned in blood and tears.

What's more, there's also Chen Shixian, who doesn't know his own limitations. This scoundrel always acts arrogantly and shocks the world every time.

It's hard to say whether setting up such a large-scale operation today means they're not preparing for a fight.

In short, if a conflict really breaks out, it won't be a minor skirmish; it will be a riot, a war.

Thinking about this, Huang Zhicheng felt a chill run down his spine.

However, if a major brawl were to break out, even their officials would be powerless to stop it.

The main purpose of standing here today, with so many police cars and officers, is to express the official stance.

As long as the besieging village does not involve the use of firearms and the two sides do not escalate into a hot war, everything is negotiable.

Meanwhile, at the Lu Family Ancestral Hall.

Lu Hantao was dressed in a high-end custom-made Tang suit, the dark jacquard fabric making his face appear ashen.

"Incompetent bungler!"

Lu Hantao held onto the dragon-patterned cane made of ebony wood and tapped it on the ground with a thud.

"I'm so sorry, Grandpa!"

Lu Jinqiang stood obediently opposite Lu Hantao, not daring to say another word.

Overnight, everything changed dramatically. Several of Lu Yongquan's establishments were raided, his drug trafficking was exposed, and the police, armed with evidence, arrested him but refused bail.

Lu Jianbo slept with his sister-in-law, but Lu Yongfu caught them in bed together, and both of them collapsed.

Luo Yongjiu's whereabouts are unknown.

Of the five people, he was the only one left.

The original plans were completely disrupted.

We need to get things done today, but we can't gather everyone together.

An unfavorable start is not a good omen.

People on Hong Kong Island are superstitious, and seeing this situation made him even more uneasy.

Moreover, something unusual must be going on. Lu Yongfu, Lu Yongquan, and the others hadn't run into trouble earlier or later, but they just happened to run into trouble at the most critical moment.

This is more like a trap.

Lu Jinqiang had a vague sense of unease.

"Don't apologize to me!"

Lu Hantao's eyes were like sharp blades. He leaned on the armchair with one hand and his cane with the other, and continued in a cold voice:

"Since Chen Shixian has set up the stage and gathered tens of thousands of people to surround our village, he wants to compete with us for victory!"

"It doesn't matter if your brothers are useless. Our Lu family doesn't rely on you guys for food."

“When we were fighting for the right to have children, I was able to lead several thousand people in the village to resist the British Hong Kong government. Now I can lead everyone to recreate that glory.”

"Chen Shixian is just a nobody, what's he? He can't cause any trouble!"

Lu Hantao spoke forcefully, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and shouted, "Sound the drums, ring the gongs, grab your weapons!"

"Summon the whole village to the construction site."

"I refuse to believe that a guy from another family can rise to the top in our walled village."

Lu Jinqiang looked at the resolute Lu Hantao in front of him and his expression changed.

The sounding of drums and gongs was a way for the Lu family to summon villagers to their walled village.

Whenever a major event occurs, the sounding of the drum and gong will summon all the villagers.

As long as Grandpa gives the order, the cellar will be opened, and all kinds of firearms and mortars will be brought out.

However, ever since the dispute over the right to have male offspring, the Lu family village has never sounded the drums or gongs.

The firearms modified from hunting rifles, as well as the American-made weapons bought from the black market to fight for cannibalism rights, were all sealed in the cellar.

It seems that Lu Hantao is serious now and wants to fight Chen Shixian.

But once firearms are used, life and death are uncertain, and the entire Hong Kong Island will be in an uproar.

Things are different now, and it's hard to say what the consequences will be.

"Grandpa, beating the drum and ringing the gong is fine, but you can't grab any weapons!"

Lu Jinqiang, with a clear head, stopped him.

"Humph!"

When Lu Jinqiang objected, Lu Hantao's face instantly changed color, and his eyes became even sharper:
"Jin Qiang, don't act like your brothers, so shrewd!"

"You're scared out of your wits by just a guy with a different surname?"

"In the New Territories, in the Luk Clan walled village, does Chan Sai-yin have the strength to fight me?!"

"If Genesis Real Estate can move even a single clod of earth or a single brick in the village, it will ruin the name of my great-grandfather!"

"In short, if Chen Shixian obediently tucks his tail between his legs and withdraws from the besieged village, then he is wise. If he is not, then we will fight him, at all costs, and take up arms to fight him!"

"This is the New Territories, the Lu family's territory. I, Lu Hantao, have never intimidated anyone!"

Outside of walled villages on Hong Kong Island, any triad that uses firearms on a large scale will be targeted by the police in no time.

The village was always lawless, and the use of firearms was completely beyond their control.

Therefore, even when he was grabbing weapons, Lu Hantao still acted as if he was fearless.

In addition, old age can lead to eccentricity. From a psychological perspective, older people are more prone to acting out in front of others.

Analyzing his behavior from the perspective of gerontology, his crazy actions are very much in line with the behavior of an old child.

Over seventy years old, acting recklessly and erratically—that's how it comes about.

Grandpa held power his whole life, ruling the village with absolute authority and acting with complete impunity.

"Grandpa is my great-grandfather. You decide what to do about this. I'll listen to Grandpa."

Seeing that Lu Hantao was very stubborn, Lu Jinqiang had no choice but to appease him, bowing slightly as he stepped back: "I will go and beat the drum and sound the gong right now!"

Fifteen minutes later.

The groundbreaking ceremony for Genesis Real Estate is in full swing, with preparations underway, featuring a festive lion and dragon dance.

Firecrackers and fireworks, a vibrant and festive sight.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

A chaotic mix of drumbeats and gong sounds disrupted the rhythm of the event.

A large group of villagers banged gongs and drums, making a jarring noise, deliberately causing trouble.

The dragon and lion dances and the band stopped playing.

All eyes turned to that direction.

Amidst billowing yellow dust, a group of villagers, carrying various firearms with their dark metal casings gleaming coldly, surged forward in a powerful and imposing manner, led by the Xing Tang brothers who pushed a mortar.

At first glance, the long village road was crowded with villagers, and you couldn't see the end of it.

It's like a black dragon poised to pounce, ready to strike at any moment.

The atmosphere was oppressive.

"Gudu!"

The previously noisy crowd suddenly seemed to have been paused.

Whether it was Chen Shixian's massive force of ten thousand men or the police officers surrounding the scene and maintaining order on the periphery, everyone was stunned.

The scene was quiet in Class 4-1.

Everyone felt their mouths were dry and couldn't help but swallow.

"Go get your shovels, put on a big show!"

Big D stared wide-eyed at the horrifying scene, his hair standing on end.

That's outrageous!
They were quite imposing, brandishing their weapons and pulling out a few Black Stars.

These villagers surrounding the village have gone completely mad; they've even brought out mortars and guns.

Do we even need to open it up?
Let's book the banquet directly and let everyone enjoy it.

These uncivilized villagers are truly ruthless.

Chen Shixian is such a scoundrel, he's a swindler. If I'd known we were here to fight, he wouldn't have come at all.

Bursting Beads stared wide-eyed at the weapons in the hands of the villagers.

These weapons are of varying quality.

There were modified homemade guns, as well as advanced weaponry from the United States.

Of course, not all of them were armed; there were about a dozen or twenty of them.

The rest, they take whatever they want.

There were hoes, sticks, brooms, and spatulas.

The whole village mobilized.

From toothless old women in their seventies and eighties to teenagers from walled villages.

He had only ever seen this kind of setup in Chenshi Walled Village.

With his head stiff, he turned slightly to look at Chen Shixian beside him, speechless.

Now I understand where the root of Chen Shixian's arrogant behavior lies.

Now, he only wants to ask one question:
Hey village boy, you're something else!
