Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 245 A big fight!
"Quick, quick, get the riot shields ready!"

When Liao Zhizong saw this scene, his eyes widened in shock.

This was the last thing he wanted to see.

One careless move could lead to an accidental discharge of firearms, resulting in rivers of blood, corpses strewn across the land, and a sensational event that would shake Hong Kong Island.

The officers were all dumbfounded, gripping their riot shields, water cannons, stun guns, steel forks, and other equipment, ready to take control of the scene at any moment.

Everyone was on edge, their breathing became rapid, and their faces showed distress.

Today's job is definitely going to be tough.

"Damn it, that's too much!"

"Mortars, rifles, submachine guns, shotguns..."

"This is preparation for war!"

Huang Zhicheng's mouth was slightly open, the cigarette butt stuck to his lips, and he couldn't help but mutter curses:
"Does 'Big Boss Xian' really think that just because someone calls him 'Big Boss,' he's a real big boss?"

"No matter how sharp or fierce, can anyone be more ruthless than the village elder?"

"What do we have to compete with them?"

"Unbelievable!"

Ma Jun shook his head beside him. He had dealt with Chen Shixian before and knew how arrogant this scoundrel was.

However, it's clear that they went too far today.

This time, we're afraid we'll be caught off guard and end up in trouble.

Evil people will be punished by other evil people, and it has to be in a place as unconventional as a walled village that Chen Shixian can finally be humiliated.

Now let's see how he gets out of this mess.

Yellow dust billowed, and the two groups of people were clearly separated.

Across the crowd, Chen Shixian stood on the platform, looking down at Lu Hantao below.

Lu Hantao's eyes were cloudy yet incredibly sharp.

Chen Shixian's eyes were sharp but not intimidating; he stared straight ahead, showing no weakness whatsoever.

Lu Hantao, leaning on a black ebony cane and dressed in a black Tang suit, slowly walked forward, surrounded by Lu Jinqiang and a group of Lu family elders and uncles.

The villagers surrounding the village respectfully and spontaneously made way for them.

"Mr. Chen, I am Lu Hantao, the great-grandfather of Weicun Village!"

Lu Hantao introduced himself right away.

"Oh, Master Lu, what advice do you have for me?"

Chen Shixian stood on the stage with composure and without arrogance, without even moving his feet.

"Who are you trying to impress by putting on such a big show in this walled village, you outsider?"

"Since when has the Lu family's enclosed village territory become so easy to trespass on?!"

Lu Hantao had originally hoped to discourage Chen Shixian, but seeing his arrogant attitude, he immediately frowned, his face darkened, and his tone hardened:
"You better behave yourself, nod and bow to the villagers to apologize, withdraw from the village development project, and all past transgressions will be forgiven!"

"Otherwise, bullets and shells will teach you a lesson, and then kneeling and begging for mercy won't do you any good!"

"Fuck!"

Suddenly, a sharp microphone hum interrupted Lu Hantao's words.

The piercing sound penetrated everyone's eardrums, causing a toothache that was no less intense than scraping glass with a razor blade.

Everyone felt their brains freeze instantly, their faces contorted in pain, their brows furrowed, and they covered their ears.

Just a bit of background noise shattered Lu Hantao's momentum.

He stared at Chen Shixian on the stage, holding the microphone and looking completely innocent, his lips trembling slightly.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Chen Shixian slapped the microphone hard, cleared his throat, looked at Lu Hantao with a playful expression, and slowly said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Grandpa!"

"My neck is too stiff, I can't lower my head, my spine is too straight, I can't bend over, and my legs are too stiff, I can't kneel at all."

Lu Hantao gripped his cane tightly with his right hand, his face instantly darkening. For so many years, no one had ever dared to defy him like this, to act so disrespectfully in front of him!

Throughout the entire walled village, whatever he said went.

The young, handsome guy in front of me, followed by a few thugs, has no sense of proportion and doesn't know his place.

What if their guns and cannons were fake?

"Young man, didn't your mother teach you to respect your elders?"

Lu Hantao's expression hardened: "Get off the stage and speak to me!!!"

Who do you think you are? Do you want me to step down?

Chen Shixian chuckled, and the microphone carried his voice far and wide, echoing throughout the sky.

His tone was incredibly arrogant.

Even those furthest away in the group could hear it clearly.

Chen Shixian showed no restraint, instead looking down at Lu Hantao with disdain: "Grandpa Lu, I'm sorry, your surname is Lu, and mine is Chen. I only worship at the Chen family ancestral hall and pay homage to Grandpa Chen."

"You are the retired emperor of the Lu family, not the retired emperor of my Chen family!"

"Stop using your great-grandfather's name to intimidate people all the time!"

When Lu Hantao spoke, only the people in the front circle could hear him, but when Chen Shixian spoke into the microphone, his voice was powerful and clear, and everyone could hear him clearly.

The underlings of Genesis Realty, United Construction, Quanxing, Wo Luen Shing, and New Wo Luen Shing, who had never seen anything like this before, were all stunned.

They clenched their fists, breaking out in a cold sweat.

That old hag is utterly shameless and arrogant to the extreme!

Standing on the land of Lu Village, facing mortars and twenty or thirty guns, they still dared to be so arrogant.

They're courting death!
Big D thought he was already arrogant enough, but compared to Chen Shixian, he was just a little brother, how pathetic!

At that moment, the villagers all over the mountains blushed and pushed and shoved each other as they surged toward the stage upon hearing Chen Shixian's shameless words.

We're just waiting for Grandpa's word to keep Chen Shixian, that good-for-nothing, here!

In front of the entire village, they tore down the face of the Lu family's authority, the Lu family's representative, and the Lu family's grandfather!

Too bully.

"you……"

Lu Hantao's face instantly turned bright red, his body trembled slightly, and he was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

This is making him lose face in front of the whole village!
If it weren't for a sliver of reason remaining, and the presence of thousands of police officers, they wouldn't have broken off relations unless absolutely necessary.

He had already given the order to have the cannons fired and blast this bastard to death!
“Young man, do you really think that just by spouting a few tough words and getting some thugs and construction workers to back you up, you can run rampant in the walled village?”

Although Lu Hantao was old, he had a strong voice, not loud but with great penetrating power. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he coldly continued:
“Our Lu family has been living in the walled village for hundreds of years, since the Ming Dynasty.”

"No outsider has ever dared to jump around on this land, dared to look down on the Lu family, or dared to disregard me, their great-grandfather!"

"Let me tell you this: if you manage to get this village development project done today, you won't touch a single piece of our village's soil or a single brick."

"You can only come in upright and leave horizontally!"

"Wow!"

As soon as Lu Hantao finished speaking, everyone responded enthusiastically. The villagers were very united, waving guns, hoes and other weapons at Chen Shixian.

Led by Lu Jinqiang, they shouted in a grand and imposing manner:

"Enter upright, leave horizontally!"

"Enter upright, leave horizontally!"

The resounding shouts were deafening and extremely intimidating, igniting the villagers' passion and making them completely obedient to their grandfather, Lu Hantao.

When there are many people, it is easy to blindly follow others.

This is especially true in walled villages where clan consciousness is strong and people are accustomed to obeying the authority of their patriarch.

No one would object to what the old man wanted to do.

Liao Zhizong and the other officers were extremely tense, their hands gripping their holsters, not daring to relax for a moment.

This atmosphere is so intense that even a tiny spark could ignite the entire venue.

With the villagers' support and the overwhelming momentum, Lu Hantao felt his earlier frustration dissipate.

He looked smug, taking one step at a time, head held high, determined to force Chen Shixian's men to retreat.

On Chen Shixian's side, Big D, Jimmy, Nine-Dragon, Qiu Gang'ao, and others led a large group of people to block the villagers from rushing onto the stage.

They knew that even though the disparity in strength seemed vast at the moment, the enemy's firearms posed a significant threat.

However, they could not back down as long as Chen Shixian didn't speak. If they did, the villagers would pounce on them, crush them, and grind them into the mud.

No one would kick a hard rock, but if a soft ball is in front of them, they would definitely kick it a couple of times.

"Quiet!"

As soon as Lu Hantao raised his hand, the surging crowd behind him immediately quieted down.

He stared at Chen Shixian, thinking that dealing with such a young upstart was a piece of cake.

He felt it was about time and slowly said, "Chen Shixian, you've seen everyone's attitude. You're not welcome here."

"Will you walk by yourself, or will we help you?"

Chen Shixian remained calm and looked at Lu Hantao with a half-smile: "Grandpa, isn't this a bit too domineering!"

"Did your Lu Guo Group develop the walled village?"

"Can't we, Genesis Real Estate, do it?"

"You Lu family descendants also have a share in this company."

"Is it true that as long as your grandfather is the head of the Lu family, this business will only be run by you?"

"You monopolize everything in the village, filling your grandfather's pockets, while the other Lu family descendants can only be your pawns, unable to support themselves?"

With just a few words and a series of probing questions, Chen Shixian put Lu Hantao in a very difficult position.

He was placed on the opposite side of the villagers' interests.

These words are very persuasive, and amplified through the microphone, they spread widely.

This resonated with some of the younger villagers.

They had long since ceased to acknowledge Lu Hantao's absolute authority and his one-man rule in the village.

Helping Grandpa with Genesis Real Estate was out of pressure from his authority and the elders in the family; otherwise, it seems that competing for this wouldn't do them any good.

The surrounding villages are going to be developed anyway, so it doesn't matter who develops them, since they're not going to be denied funding.

Lu Hantao glanced around and saw that some young people in the crowd, who had already strayed from the norm, were agreeing with Chen Shixian's words. His heart sank slightly.

These villagers were his best weapon.

If Chen Shixian destroys the villagers' faith, what chance does he have of winning?

So he quickly gave Lu Jinqiang a wink.

Lu Jinqiang picked up the loudspeaker from the villager, stepped forward, turned to look at the villager, and became Lu Hantao's spokesperson.

"Fellow members of the Lu clan, brothers, don't be misled by a few words from outsiders!"

"For hundreds of years, why have the surrounding villages trusted the old man, regarded him as their ancestor, and taken his words as truth?"

"That's because Grandpa's prestige wasn't based on words, but on deeds!"

“Hundreds of years ago, our great-grandfather led everyone across the sea to settle in Hong Kong Island and resist the bandits. Now, our grandfather is leading everyone to fight for water and land and to fight with the British Hong Kong government for the right to have children!”

"Every fight we have is for our own people!"

Lu Jinqiang spoke with great enthusiasm and emotion.

The villagers' eyes gleamed, and they nodded repeatedly, clearly approving.

At the height of his excitement, Lu Jinqiang turned around and turned his attention to Chen Shixian, holding a megaphone in one hand and pointing at him with the other, saying:

"Grandpa will always be our grandpa, and he will only ever think about what's best for the village and for everyone."

"It doesn't seem like this outsider has any ill intentions."

"Grandpa talked to the American businessman, and everything was based on Lu Village."

"Chen Shixian, however, interfered, pretending to cooperate with Lu Yongyuan of our Lu family to develop Chuangshi Real Estate."

"Now, Ding and Di have received their orders, but our Lu brothers, Lu Yongyuan, have died mysteriously in a car accident and were burned to a crisp."

"It's hard not to suspect that this outsider is the one who's harming our Lu family descendants, taking over our land and property!"

"This kind of unscrupulous businessman must be kicked out!"

Lu Jinqiang's words were highly inflammatory, and the villagers' emotions surged again, their faces filled with indignation.

Shout loudly:
"Get out!"

"Get out!"

Chen Shixian chuckled. Lu Jinqiang, despite his failure, still had some talent for public speaking.

The car accident that led to Lu Yongyuan's murder was clearly orchestrated by the Lu brothers, yet now they're trying to pin the blame on him.

"Lu Jinqiang, do you want to hear what nonsense you're spouting?"

Chen Shixian turned the volume up to the maximum, held the microphone, and smiled at Lu Jinqiang: "A Yuan is still your sworn brother."

Why are you cursing him to die?

In an instant, the previously excited scene froze, and thousands of eyes were fixed on Chen Shixian.

His eyes were filled with doubt.

What do you mean?
Without wasting any words, Chen Shixian turned to the side and smiled at the backstage area, saying, "A Yuan, come on, show your face!"

Lu Yongyuan, dressed in a white suit, stood on the stage with great spirit.

Lu Jinqiang rubbed his eyes and looked closely.

Lu Yongyuan was indeed standing alive in front of him, without even a scratch on his body.

His expression instantly became even uglier than if he had eaten shit.

Lu Yongyuan's appearance was undoubtedly a huge slap in the face for him!

He was speechless for a moment.

Lu Yongyuan looked down at Lu Jinqiang, whose face was full of astonishment and pale: "Aren't you surprised that I'm still alive?"

Wow!
The villagers looked at each other, completely dumbfounded.

The news did report it: a car accident on Qiangshan Road, where two cars collided and caught fire. The man who appeared to be burned was Lu Yongyuan, and the driver who caused the accident fled the scene.

But now, Lu Yongyuan is clearly alive and well.

So what Lu Jinqiang just said, inciting everyone to accuse Chen Shixian of seizing land and people, harming the Lu family, and abandoning them after using them, is all false!

Now, the villagers began to question the words of Lu Jinqiang, who was acting as Lu's grandfather's representative.

"Ah Yuan, it's good that you're alive!"

Lu Jinqiang's lips twitched slightly, and he smiled insincerely, saying, "It's all because of unscrupulous reporters spreading rumors."

"It's not that I want to curse you to die!"

"This is all a misunderstanding."

Lu Yongyuan interrupted firmly: "There is no misunderstanding!"

"This is murder!"

"You are the one who murdered your relatives and betrayed your brothers!"

boom!
This news came like a thunderbolt, leaving the villagers stunned and bewildered.

The plot twists are too fast, the pacing is a bit hard to keep up with!
What exactly is going on?

"fart!"

Lu Jinqiang, his neck stiff, his eyes instantly bloodshot, shouted, "You're talking nonsense!!"

"With just a few words, they accuse me of betraying my brothers—that's slander!"

Chen Shixian sneered.

He calmly waved to the popping bead, and the popping bead moved in perfect unison to the backstage control area.

They put a cassette tape in.

"Here's one million; Uncle Tao told us to handle it!"

"If we don't kill A-Yuan, we won't have a good life!"

"I'm from another family, I'll do it!"

"How to kill him is the problem!"

"Car accident, drunk driving, bang, crash, find the best lawyer, and you'll be out in three to five years at most!"

……

The words of Lu Jinqiang, Lu Yongfu, Lu Jianbo, Lu Yongquan, and Luo Yongjiu plotting to kill Lu Yongyuan came through the loudspeaker and reached everyone's ears.

The scene, with tens of thousands of people, was as if the pause button had been pressed, and there was complete silence.
