Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 181 A surprise attack on the Dongfeng Express gang!

On the morning of January 4th, the sun was shining brightly.

Fei Dan left early this morning. Li Xiangdong and the other two were sitting on the sofa. Each of them had received a gun from Da Dong. They knew that they would definitely be taking action today.

The atmosphere in the living room was like the calm before a storm; Da Dong seemed to be waiting for something.

Jingle bell, jingle bell.

Da Dong immediately answered his cell phone: "He's arrived at the store normally? Good. Have you found the troublemakers? Hmm, we'll be there!"

After hanging up the phone, Da Dong stood up abruptly and waved his hand, "Let's go!"

A moment later, the group got into a van and quickly drove away from the neighborhood, heading towards the city center.

Meanwhile, in another room in the apartment building, someone reported, "Team leader, they've started their operation!"

Upon receiving the news, Superintendent Cheng immediately gathered all his subordinates and they quickly got into their vehicles.

Superintendent Cheng kept in contact with headquarters via walkie-talkie from inside the car:

"Officer Cheng, the signal is in Mong Kok... We're now in Portland Street..."

Several cars immediately sped off toward Portland Street.

……

Portland Street, the van was temporarily parked on the side of the road.

Li Xiangdong looked around but didn't see anything worth robbing. There were no gold shops, jewelry stores, or even banks nearby, which made him a little puzzled.

Da Dong pulled out his mobile phone and shouted, "Flying eggs, let them start!"

A moment later, a dozen or so shady-looking thugs emerged from a small alley and went into a car repair shop across the street. Soon, chaos erupted inside the repair shop.

Da Dong didn't speak, he just watched quietly.

Li Xiangdong and the other two didn't know what Da Dong was up to, but they didn't ask. They just wondered if Superintendent Cheng had brought any police officers with him.

Two minutes later, several police officers on patrol rushed over and entered the repair shop.

At this moment, a smile appeared on Da Dong's lips: "Let's go!"

The vehicle immediately started moving and drove forward. After passing two intersections, the van stopped.

Li Xiangdong immediately sensed something was wrong. Wasn't Dongfeng Express right across from them?!
He's been here several times before!
At that moment, the car door opened, and Fei Dan climbed into the car, smiling as he said to Da Dong, "Boss, those police officers have all been drawn away, they definitely won't be here anytime soon! There are no other patrol officers nearby!"

The thugs who caused trouble at that auto repair shop were hired by him. He paid them 2000 dollars, saying that one of the employees had offended him and he wanted them to help him get revenge. These teenagers, who come from a youth gang, act recklessly and are very easy to bribe. Afterwards, no investigation can trace them back to him!

Da Dong then asked, "Is the man surnamed Ye in the shop?"

Fei Dan nodded: "I'm in the shop right now. I went in earlier and haven't come out!"

Da Dong looked satisfied. Based on his observations over the past few days, Dongfeng Express should deliver money to the bank about once every 10 days. With so much money in the store, there must be a safe.

The only person who could open the store's safe was Ye Dongsheng himself. Therefore, they definitely needed to make sure Ye Dongsheng was present before they came to rob Dongfeng Express; otherwise, they'd be wasting their time trying to open the safe!
Then Da Dong quickly instructed, "When we enter the Dongfeng Express store, Da Chong, you and Xue Jun control the crowd inside and prevent them from causing a disturbance!"

Dongfeng Express is doing good business, with many customers in the store, so naturally we can't let them get in our way when we're doing our work.

Killing them all is impossible; he's just a robber, not a serial killer. So, we'll assign two people to control the situation. If chaos is to break out, it'll happen after they leave, creating confusion for the arriving police!
"A-Quan, take Jing-Sheng and secure the back door of the warehouse!"

They definitely need to control both the front and back doors. Better safe than sorry. If any police officers or other people sneak in through the back door, that would be terrible.

"Xiang Dong, you and Fei Dan come with me into the office, take control of the boss Ye Dongsheng, and take the money from the safe!"

The layout of the Dongfeng Express store is relatively simple. With so many customers coming and going every day, it's easy to figure out the store's layout.

His arrangement this time was to separate the three newcomers, with each of them being led by an experienced person. This served the dual purpose of having experienced people mentoring newcomers to reduce trouble, but also subtly conveyed a sense of separation and a degree of caution.

After giving his instructions, he looked at the group and saw that Qi Jingsheng and Guo Xuejun both looked undisguised astonishment. Da Dong frowned and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Guo Xuejun opened his mouth: "Boss, our target is Dongfeng Express?"

"Yes, so what?" Da Dong stared directly at Guo Xuejun and Qi Jingsheng.

Of course there is a problem!

They knew that Ye Dongsheng, the boss of Dongfeng Express, had done Li Xiangdong a favor, not only helping him bring his sick father to Hong Kong Island, but also arranging for him to receive treatment at a private hospital.

It can be said that Li Xiangdong's father's life was saved by Ye Dongsheng!
Now they're going to rob Dongfeng Express? This...

Li Xiangdong, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Boss, we always thought we were going to rob some gold shop or bank, why are we robbing a courier store? What's so interesting about robbing a courier store?"

Ah Quan laughed and said, "Hehe, you guys just came from the mainland and don't know, this Dongfeng Express is very rich. There are millions in their safe right now, of course it's worth robbing!"

Da Dong looked at Li Xiangdong and the other two again: "We're about to move out. I don't want you to have any more problems. Even if you do, keep them to yourself and follow orders!"

Guo Xuejun and Qi Jingsheng exchanged a glance and then remained silent.

Li Xiangdong lowered his head, a glint of something sinister in his eyes.

Fei Dan smiled, then took out three pairs of sunglasses, handed them to the three of them, and then said:
"As long as you wear sunglasses to cover part of your face, even if you get arrested later, eyewitnesses can't be 100% sure that you committed the crime, and the boss can hire a lawyer to help you get acquitted!"

Dozens of meters away, Superintendent Cheng stared intently at the van from his car. His subordinate said, "Superintendent Cheng, their target might be Dongfeng Express. Should we call and notify them first?"

Superintendent Cheng refused with a stern expression: "Have the men surround them. When they come out and get into the car, we'll take them all down in one fell swoop!"

To catch a thief red-handed, you need to catch him red-handed. If you notify them now and disturb the gang, preventing them from committing further crimes, how can you build an ironclad case?!
……

Lin Jiaming, carrying a briefcase, had just finished sending a package and stepped out of the store when he bumped into several burly men. He stumbled to the side, and even his glasses fell to the ground.

"You're so clumsy! Can't you watch where you're going?"

Lin Jiaming raised his head and cursed, but his eyes met those of a burly man passing by. Even through the sunglasses, the man felt a chill run down his spine, and his neck felt as if it were being choked. He swallowed the rest of his words.

Just like that, six or seven burly men wearing sunglasses walked past him and entered the Dongfeng Express store.

Lin Jiaming got up, feeling ashamed and annoyed at his weak performance just now. He gave them the middle finger as they walked away, but then he saw the shop door be shut!

Lin Jiaming was stunned. What... what's going on?
Inside the store, the people at the door were stunned when several burly men in sunglasses walked in and closed the door. But Da Dong ignored their reactions, pushed aside the people in line in front of him, and walked forward.

"Hey! Don't you know the rules? You have to queue to send a package here!" the man who was pushed down cursed.

Just as Da Dong was about to make an example of this man, Li Xiangdong was one step ahead, stepping on the man's chest and firing his gun at the ceiling: "Don't move! Cover your heads and squat on the ground!"

A gunshot rang out, and the next moment everyone in the store screamed and tried to move towards the door, but when they saw several armed men blocking the doorway, they dared not move.

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! We're crouching down!"

The clever one quickly squatted down on the ground, and many others followed suit, all squatting down as well.

Not far from the counter, Ruan Mei looked at Li Xiangdong with horror and disbelief. Even though he was wearing glasses, she recognized him at a glance as the filial son who had taken out 100 million yuan to save his father!

She couldn't believe that the other party had actually brought people to rob Dongfeng Express!
Ming Sheng helped him save his father!

Li Xiangdong also saw Ruan Mei, took two steps forward, and shoved her to the ground: "Get out of my way! Don't block my way!"

Upon seeing this, those in front of Li Xiangdong immediately made way, crouching or crawling to quickly dodge.

Then, Li Xiangdong looked at Da Dong.

Da Dong frowned behind his sunglasses. Although Li Xiangdong's move had a decent effect and had intimidated everyone in the store, he felt that the other party was not as obedient as before.

Previously, Li Xiangdong had remained silent, like a soldier completely obedient to orders, a state that pleased Da Dong. But now that they've started taking action, the other side's initiative has suddenly become much stronger!

However, in the rush, he didn't think too much about it. Da Dong waved to Da Chong and Guo Xuejun: "You two stay here and control them!"

After saying that, he led the remaining men inside!
Around the corner, Gao Jin and Ye Dongsheng emerged from the office, both having drawn their guns.

"Brother Sheng, I'll hold them off, you go quickly!"

Here, they can escape through the back door of the warehouse. For Gao Jin, protecting Ye Dongsheng's safety is the most important thing right now!

But Ye Dongsheng had much more to consider. With so many customers here, and Ruan Mei among them, how could he just leave so easily?!

If it were just him and Gao Jin facing this group of people inside the store, he could easily fight back on the spot. But right now, the robbers have a large number of hostages!
Peeking out from around the corner, Ye Dongsheng saw Li Xiangdong's tall figure standing on someone's chest and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Did Li Xiangdong bring people to rob us?

No, that's not right!

Judging from Li Xiangdong's character, he would never do such a thing.

From the fact that Li Xiangdong gave him 100 million yuan at the hospital last time, we can tell that he is not short of money; what he lacks is a legal identity.

Moreover, his father is still in the hospital, so there's absolutely no reason for him to bring people to rob his Dongfeng Express and betray him!

The only possibility is that this guy went undercover in a criminal gang again to obtain a new identity!
In an instant, Ye Dongsheng roughly guessed what had happened, and then made a decision in his heart: to trust Li Xiangdong and the other two this time! To trust his own judgment and insight!

He pressed Gao Jin's gun down: "Jin, go to the warehouse and see what happens..."

"Brother Sheng, I..."

Ye Dongsheng didn't waste any more words. He pushed Gao Jin towards the warehouse.

Just as Gao Jin stepped into the warehouse, Da Dong appeared from around the corner with his men. Upon seeing Ye Dongsheng, he couldn't help but smile.

Ye Dongsheng raised his hands and said, "Gentlemen, you're all after money. I'll give you the money, but please don't harm my employees and customers!"

Honestly, for Ye Dongsheng, some financial loss is nothing, but if someone dies in the store today, that would be a real problem!
Da Dong clicked his tongue twice: "Boss Ye, you truly deserve to be called a hero of Hong Kong's rights protection. Your demeanor is just different!"
Alright, since you're so sensible, I'll give you face. As long as you cooperate obediently, we won't shed blood today!

He then pointed at Qi Jingsheng and A Quan: "You two go and keep watch at the back door of the warehouse!"

After the two had passed by, Da Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, please!"

Ye Dongsheng looked at Li Xiangdong, who was pointing a gun at him, then glanced at another bald man who walked up and pointed a gun at his head, before silently turning around and walking towards the office.

At the back door of the warehouse, A-Quan instructed Qi Jingsheng to guard the back door, then swept his gaze across the deliverymen and couriers who were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands: "You'd better behave yourselves, or don't blame me for sending you to meet God!"

In the corner, the fat cat, who was holding his head, whispered to Chen Yongren, "Brother Ren, you were right at the back door, why didn't you run with those people?"

In the instant the gunshot rang out, several quick-thinking individuals had already escaped through the back door. However, Chen Yongren not only didn't run, but instead returned to Fat Cat's side.

"Fat cat, just stay still and behave!"

As he spoke, Chen Yongren silently moved forward, his eyes constantly scanning the two armed bandits.

Meanwhile, Gao Jin was also among them, crouching on the ground with his head in his hands...

Outside the store, Tongyitang, who was waiting nearby, noticed the accident at Dongfeng Express and rushed over.

Big Bug, who was guarding the door, saw a dozen or so gangsters running towards him and fired three shots at them!
Blood spurted directly from one of their shoulders, staining his clothes red, and he cried out in agony.

"Ah! A gun! I've been shot!"

The group of thugs wielding sticks were immediately terrified and stopped in their tracks. They were willing to fight or even exchange blows with knives, but there were guns in front of them! Charging forward now would be suicide!
The group quickly carried the unfortunate man who had been shot away.

"What should I do?"

"Quickly, call the boss! And call the police!"

Inside the police car, which was watching the commotion, an officer asked, "Officer Cheng, the criminals inside have opened fire! We..."

Superintendent Cheng raised his hand to stop them, saying, "We can't act rashly now! There are hostages inside. If we rush in now, the bandits might start a massacre to disrupt the situation!"

"What should I do?"

"Wait! Based on past experience, the Da Dong gang doesn't kill indiscriminately during robberies; they prioritize efficient robbery! They'll be out in three minutes at most!"
Everyone get ready. As planned, we'll wait until they've finished robbing and come out before we strike!

A hesitant voice came through the walkie-talkie: "But Inspector Cheng, what if the higher-ups find out what we're doing..."

Superintendent Cheng's eyes flashed coldly as he said sternly:
"I've brought you here today to earn merit. After the robbers' operation, we happened to discover them robbing the place, and then we arrested and even killed the robbers! Anyone who dares to say a word will be everyone's enemy!"
