Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 250: Giving Huo Zhaotang a "Family Bucket of Social Skills"?

"This is the investigation report on Huo Zhaotang!"

Qiu Gang'ao took out a thick document and handed it to Chen Shixian.

"Brother Xian, we've got everything we need to know about that scoundrel Huo Zhaotang—we're practically ready to slice him up and examine him under a microscope."

"They even stripped off all the color of his underwear!"

"There's only the finest, no finer!"

The popping beads began to be introduced with pride and excitement.

"Damn it, I told you to investigate someone, what were you doing peeking at their physique?"

Chen Shixian flipped through the investigation report, which was so detailed it even covered the crevices under the fingernails, and teased the overly enthusiastic popping beads.

"Uh, Brother Xian, what are you doing to me?!"

Bursting Beads blushed; this was another attempt to lighten the mood.

"It's clear that you've taken Huo Zhaotang seriously this time!"

Chen Shixian looked at the information carefully and praised it.

“We not only care about him, but we also want to visit his grave!”

Qiu Gang'ao's lips curled into a chilling, sinister smile.

"Brother Ao, if you help him visit his grave, he'll be the one who benefits!"

Bursting Beads frowned and said bitterly, "It would be better if a good-for-nothing like him were left to rot in the wilderness, with no grave to visit, no descendants, and no one to visit his grave!"

Ah Quan's face darkened, and she replied, "Hmph, letting Huo Zhaotang die directly is too lenient for him. I wish I could grind him to dust!"

"That's right!"

Ahua nodded, fully agreeing.

The mention of Huo Zhaotang aroused everyone's emotions.

After all, if they hadn't gone to Stanley for further studies to save Huo Zhaotang, they wouldn't have had to endure two years of hellish ordeal.

If it weren't for Chen Shixian leading them and fighting their way out, who knows what would have happened to them today.

However, in court at the time, he directly distanced himself from the matter, acting as if it were none of his business.

A scene reminiscent of the fable of the farmer and the snake unfolded, with the farmer stating in court, "I know nothing. Killing someone is unnecessary!"

Hong Kong Island uses a jury system, and if Fok Siu-tong speaks up as a victim, it can have a significant impact on the verdict.

Moreover, given Huo Zhaotang's status in the business world, if he were willing, he could use his connections or find a lawyer to defend them, and their fate could be rewritten.

They wouldn't have to suffer in Stanley.

If Chen Shixian hadn't turned the tide and led everyone out of prison early, they would all still be suffering in prison.

Qiu Gang'ao, Baozhu, Ahua, and Aquan all harbored no less hatred for Huo Zhaotang, this ungrateful and unscrupulous businessman, than Situ Jie and Zhang Chongbang.

However, ever since Huo Zhaotang experienced the kidnapping incident, he has been afraid of being targeted by his enemies again, so he spends most of his time hiding abroad, remotely controlling his business, and his whereabouts are uncertain.

In addition, he has a high status and a lot of money, so it's not easy to mess with him.

Now, Huo Zhaotang has finally returned to China.

Their team is no longer a fledgling inexperienced group; they have money and manpower, so naturally they have the confidence to back it up.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must seize it.

“Ao, Baozhu, Aquan, Ahua, do you know what kind of revenge is the cruelest, besides death, against someone like Huo Zhaotang?”

Chen Shixian gently flipped through the documents with his slender fingers, and asked slowly without raising his head.

"Should I give him a 'family bucket of social niceties'?"

The popping bead opened first.

As Brother Xian once said, the world of martial arts is not just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and social etiquette.

Therefore, when doing something, you should do it completely.

If you want to kill one person, it's best to kill their entire family and sever their social connections!

Chen Shixian looked up and glanced at the exploding beads: "You even said you'd pulled down someone's underwear."

"Don't you understand Huo Zhaotang's eunuch status?"

"His parents passed away peacefully in their old age, and he had no blood relatives. He was the only one in his family with the surname Huo."

What kind of family bucket meals can you deliver?

Bursting Beads pouted: "He has three wives, two mistresses, and several homes, both domestically and internationally."

"Take them all down, I don't believe he won't be heartbroken!"

"Damn it, Huo Zhaotang is old and fickle. He changes women like he changes clothes. The death of several wives and mistresses saves him money on breakup fees, which is a good thing."

"Is that revenge?"

"That's repaying a debt of gratitude!"

Chen Shixian glared at the jujutsu with annoyance. This guy, all he does is talk big all day long. He doesn't even think before he speaks.

He looked completely bewildered after being scolded for his menthol capsules.

He rolled up the thick stack of documents and smacked the explosive bead on the head: "To kill a snake, you must strike its vital spot. What's more painful than death is making life worse than death!"

"Huo Zhaotang is a cold-hearted and selfish person. In his eyes, there is only profit and no feelings."

"Fame, fortune, and career are what he values ​​most!"

"Back then, it was precisely because he wanted to close the case quickly, reduce the impact on Pan Asia Bank, and stabilize the company's stock price that he took advantage of our misfortune and repaid kindness with enmity!"

"The cruelest revenge against him would be to make him lose everything before he dies."

"Let him lose everything, experience the excruciating pain of having his heart ripped out and bones scraped, and suffer unbearable agony."

The more they listened, the more excited they became.

They couldn't wait to see Huo Zhaotang's miserable and painful state.

A cold glint appeared in their eyes.

Bursting Beads clapped his hands excitedly: "Wasn't Huo Zhaotang shamelessly claiming at the press conference that Pan Asia Bank and Ace Security Company had collaborated to upgrade the bank's security system and create the safest bank vault in Hong Kong Island?"

"At the press conference, the Flying Tigers were also involved in a special forces anti-robbery drill."

"Many wealthy individuals donated 100 million US dollars to the vault on the first day to support Huo Zhaotang at the press conference."

"The Pan Asian Bank's central bank underground vault is packed full."

"Let's rob the central vault of Pan Asia Bank and give them a good slap in the face!"

After listening, Chen Shixian shook his head, took out a cigarette case, tapped the bottom of the case, flicked out a cigarette, lit it, and asked casually, "One hundred million US dollars, how many Hong Kong dollars is it worth according to the exchange rate?"

"At the current exchange rate, one US dollar is equal to 6.2 Hong Kong dollars, so one hundred million US dollars is equal to 6.2 million Hong Kong dollars."

Qiu Gang'ao did a quick mental calculation and answered directly.

"A brand new Mi Gold note weighs 1.05 grams, and 100 million would be 1.0.5 tons."

"Even if we successfully get all of this money from the bank, it will only amount to 6.2 million."

Chen Shixian exhaled a puff of smoke and continued, "Pan Asia Bank is a high-quality bank. 6.2 million is not enough to cause Huo Zhaotang unbearable pain."

"In the stock market, you can easily lose some money by taking advantage of retail investors, and it's just a minor punishment, nothing serious."

"I said I would make sure Huo Zhaotang died penniless and in unbearable pain!"

"So, Brother Xian, what do you plan to do?"

Seeing Chen Shixian's confident demeanor, Qiu Gang'ao asked in a hoarse, smoky voice.

"I plan to short Pan Asia Bank."

Chen Shixian smiled slightly: "Robbing a bank at the same time will expose the claim that Pan Asia Bank is the safest bank in Hong Kong, causing its stock price to plummet."

"Finally, we'll 'kidnap' Huo Zhaotang one last time, causing a bank run and complete collapse!"

"This is a version tailor-made for Huo Zhaotang; he'll definitely be satisfied!"

After hearing this, Qiu Gang'ao, Baozhu, Ahua, and Aquan were deeply shocked and could not calm down for a long time.

It has to be Chen Shixian!
This combo is vicious, ruthless, and utterly devastating!
If they didn't hate Huo Zhaotang to the core, they would have felt some sympathy for him.

Meeting Chen Shixian was his bad luck.

"Brother Xian, the most crucial and important part of this plan is successfully robbing Pan Asia Bank."

"But the bank's security measures are already very tight. The central bank, which was jointly built by Pan Asia Bank and Ace Security, has further upgraded these measures."

"Based on the security test data that the Flying Tigers assisted Pan Asia Bank with at the last press conference."

"The central bank has upgraded its multi-layered, impact-resistant gates. With triple protection, entry requires the security manager's fingerprint, Huo Zhaotang's palm print, and IC card identification."

"Otherwise, an alarm will be triggered."

"Personnel security, monitoring systems, and cash transportation have all been upgraded."

"We must get the surveillance system and security personnel in place in a very short time, open the vault door, load the money onto the truck, and transport it away!" "The whole process should take no more than ten minutes."

"Otherwise, the police will surely arrive!"

"It's incredibly difficult to solve access control, set up security, bypass surveillance alarms, transport over a ton of cash, and leave safely in such a short time!"

Qiu Gang'ao reminded him with a serious and earnest expression.

Chen Shixian's plan was wonderful, but reality was harsh.

Robbing an armored truck is much easier than robbing a bank.

Previously, in the armored truck robbery on King's Road in North Point, four thieves stole 18 million Hong Kong dollars; in the armored truck robbery in Happy Valley, a group of gangsters stole 56 million Hong Kong dollars; and in the armored truck robbery at Kai Tak Airport, Cheung Sai-ho stole 100 million Hong Kong dollars...

Since Hong Kong Island opened up to the new world, armored truck robberies have become increasingly common.

However, no bank robbery has occurred yet.

Because banks have high security levels and are located near police stations, police can respond quickly.

Compared to mobile ATM trucks, robbing a bank has a lower success rate, is more dangerous, and is more difficult.

Therefore, while kidnapping and robbery cases are rampant, no one really wants to rob a bank.

Because the risk factor is simply too high.

The robbers just wanted money, not to die.

"Ten minutes is definitely not enough time!"

Chen Shixian first affirmed Qiu Gang'ao's analysis, then slightly pursed his lips, revealing a wicked smile that was both familiar and frightening to everyone:

"But what if a robbery occurs at Ruilin Gold Shop, which is just half a block away and opens ten days later?"

"You mean to arrange two robberies as a diversionary tactic, muddying the waters, using Ruilin Gold Shop to attract attention, while our real target is Pan Asia Bank."

"As long as we're careful and stay hidden, we'll be safely gone by the time the police find us!"

Qiu Gang'ao understood instantly.

Nowadays, robberies of jewelry stores are common in Hong Kong Island, but bank robberies are unprecedented.

Rui Luen Gold Shop, a chain of gold shops that started in Hong Kong Island in the 1960s, has been robbed many times.

In the event of an incident, the police will immediately deploy their resources to the jewelry store.

No one would have imagined that two robberies would occur on the same street, on the same day, at the same time.

"Brother Xian, you're not human!"

Upon hearing this, Bursting Beads widened his eyes, slapped his thigh hard, and shouted loudly.

Ah Quan, a die-hard fan, instantly glared at him with a murderous look.

As if his mouth had been burned, the popping bead hurriedly explained, "I mean, Brother Xian isn't human, he's practically a genius!"

"You're quick to smooth things over!"

Ah Quan swung his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, twice: "I thought you were asking for trouble, daring to make fun of Brother Xian!"

"just you!"

Bursting Beads gave a disdainful snort, just about to spout some witty remarks.

Qiu Gang'ao glanced at Baozhu, who immediately shut up, knowing what was more important.

Now is not the time for empty talk.

“Brother Xian, the robbery at Ruilin Gold Shop can indeed delay the arrival of the police, but opening the vault door will definitely not be something that can be done in ten or twenty minutes.”

"I worry……"

Qiu Gang'ao's expression was solemn, and he hesitated to speak.

If everything is ready, but the vault door can't be opened in the end, that would be a disaster.

Chen Shixian looked at Qiu Gang'ao and smiled slightly.

This guy is destined to be a busy and worrisome person.

However, it cannot be denied that he was very thoughtful.

Chen Shixian was prepared and calmly began to speak:
"That's simple. Su Daqiang, the security manager of Pan Asia Bank, appears to be diligent and low-key, but in reality, he has embezzled a lot of public funds for investment and personal gain. However, he has poor judgment and suffered heavy losses. I have already obtained the evidence."

"The boss behind Ace Security has a gang background with Brother Hei Mo. Once exposed, Su Daqiang's whole family will be wiped out."

"The money belongs to the bank, but your life belongs to yourself."

"Selling out the bank is at most a dereliction of duty."

"Backstabbing a top security guard can cost you your life!"

Chen Shixian smiled calmly.

He never fights a battle unprepared, and he began preparations as soon as he decided to take action against Huo Zhaotang.

He and Azu went to great lengths to find out who Su Daqiang was.

Su Daqiang appears to be a very responsible person at work and also very caring towards his family.

He has no bad habits.

He neither smokes nor drinks, neither gambles nor womanizes, and has exceptionally strong willpower, making him virtually impossible to catch.

Later, they discovered that this guy always liked to buy finance-related books and read financial newspapers.

That's when we discovered that this guy was incredibly audacious, embezzling tens of millions of public funds and getting involved in everything from stocks and funds to investments.

Unfortunately, no matter how much ordinary people analyze, it's all theoretical knowledge. No matter how vigorously the leeks grow, someone else will harvest them all in one go.

The projects they invested in resulted in almost total losses.

Stocks and funds are also trapped.

With this leverage, controlling Su Daqiang would be a piece of cake.

"Brother Xian, just tell us, what do you want us to do?"

Qiu Gang'ao was completely relieved.

Chen Shixian always seemed to be ahead of them, taking care of everything and leading the way.

They're in the underground level, while Brother Xian is already in the atmosphere.

As a follower, all you need to do is listen carefully.

When faced with a genius solving a difficult problem, just copy the answer and never ask why.

"Next, we will split into three groups."

Chen Shixian began to deploy his forces: "I will be in charge of arranging people to short Pan Asia Bank."

"A'ao and Baozhu are in charge of conducting reconnaissance work on Pan Asia Bank and Ruilin Gold Shop."

"Ahua and Aquan were in charge of preparing and arranging weapons and evacuation support."

"I look forward to seeing everyone's amazing performance in ten days!"

Chen Shixian looked at everyone with a firm gaze.

"Don't worry, Brother Xian, I've been eagerly waiting to see Huo Zhaotang's expression before he dies."

"I definitely won't let you down!"

Qiu Gang'ao's gaze was sinister, his body shrouded in black aura, and he responded in a cold voice.

"Brother Xian, this time, we will definitely go all out!"

The menthol capsule confidently patted its chest and made a solemn promise.

"So you're saying you were just brushing me off all this time?"

Chen Shixian teased.

The popping bead turned bright red; it almost choked on its own breath. Damn, it dug its own grave.

He chuckled twice and quickly made an excuse to slip away.

Xian-ge's mouth is like poison; who can out-argue him?
Inside the base, an operation was secretly concluded.

No one knew that Hong Kong Island was about to experience another sensation.

Chen Shixian, this "Brother Hao," is about to make a comeback, once again leading the wave of the times and becoming the first to try something new!

……

The next day, Chen Shixian took the initiative to ask Huang Shitong for tea, and by the way, he borrowed a seasoned securities manager, Luo Minsheng, from this financial tycoon.

"Mr. Chen, I don't think shorting Pan Asia Bank is a wise decision!"

Luo Minsheng was dressed in a sharp striped suit, his eyes were full of wisdom, and his face looked very much like Liu Qingyun.

He had a square face, raised eyebrows, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a frameless square pair of glasses perched on his nose.

A sense of composure and maturity, that exudes sophistication, is immediately apparent.
