Chapter 313 What do you want from me?
Hu Jishu had just started to speak, with the excitement on his face still unfading, when Zhang Ziqiang slapped him in the face, stunning him.
Hu Jishu covered his face, his face full of grievance, and said: "Brother Qiang, what did I do wrong?"
Seeing that the other party was so slow, Zhang Ziqiang slapped him again without saying a word.
This time, both of Hu Jishu's faces were covered with red handprints, which were very symmetrical.
"You still have the nerve to ask?"
"What did I teach you before? Didn't I tell you that before taking action, you must find out the identity and situation of the target!"
"Let me ask you, who was sitting in that Rolls-Royce Silver Spur extension just now?"
Facing Zhang Ziqiang's question, Hu Jishu was confused and hesitantly said: "I... I know he must be a rich man..."
The next second, Zhang Ziqiang swung his arm and slapped Hu Jishu hard on the right cheek!
Snapped!
A loud sound rang out, echoing continuously in the closed car.
After seeing this scene, the two younger brothers in the back seat subconsciously looked at each other and lowered their heads at the same time.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the right side of Hu Jishu's face began to become red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After being slapped three times in a row, each time with greater force than the last, Hu Jishu finally learned his lesson. He immediately lowered his head and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Zhang Ziqiang's anger subsided a little. He took out a box of Camel cigarettes from his pocket, put it in his mouth, rolled down the passenger window, and finally lit the cigarette.
Zhang Ziqiang took a deep breath, and after the smoke passed through his lungs, he exhaled.
With the help of nicotine, his emotions gradually became stable.
"I have long told you to read more books, read more newspapers, and watch more news, but you all turned a deaf ear to my words and didn't take them to heart."
"If a gangster doesn't eat brains, he will be a gangster all his life."
"Everyone in Hong Kong knows that the only person who can be so ostentatious when going out and who likes Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce is Lin Zehao."
Upon hearing the news, everyone was shocked, with disbelief written all over their faces.
Now, everyone in the underworld knows that as long as the target is Lin Zehao's order, no one dares to take it, no matter how much money is offered.
Ever since the incident with the Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers, they all realized how powerful Lin Zehao's security force is.
If you dare to earn this money, you have to be alive to spend it.
"Brother Qiang, I don't know, I really don't know..."
"If I knew it was Lin Zehao's convoy, I wouldn't dare to have such thoughts even if they beat me to death..."
Hu Jishu kept explaining, his face full of panic.
He just doesn't like reading, but he's not a brainless idiot.
Who dares to rob Lin Zehao's motorcade in Hong Kong Island?
If you have the guts, you might as well rob a money truck. Your chances of survival will be greater.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm getting annoyed just looking at you now."
Zhang Ziqiang said this with a grim expression, picked up the notebook beside him and started taking notes.
This notebook contains the personal and family information of well-known wealthy people in Hong Kong Island that he has found through various means during this period.
Although the records are not detailed yet, Zhang Ziqiang is constantly improving them.
Among them, Lin Zehao's name is also on the notebook.
However, unlike other wealthy people, Lin Zehao's name was used on a separate page, and the word "taboo" was written on it.
Obviously, Zhang Ziqiang never targeted Lin Zehao from the very beginning.
At this time, a BMW drove past everyone. Zhang Ziqiang saw it and quickly closed his notebook and said, "Follow."
To them, everyone who came down from Mount Taiping was a wealthy person.
"clear."
Hu Jishu had just made a mistake, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything nonsense at this time. After answering, he immediately started the car and started at 3,000 rpm through skillful coordination of the accelerator and the clutch.
The car burned its tires on the spot and shot out like an arrow!
This is also the reason why Zhang Ziqiang chose Hu Jishu as the driver.
After following the target all the way, Zhang Ziqiang watched him walk into a hotel.
Seeing this, Zhang Ziqiang decisively chose to leave in order to avoid the risk of exposure.
Twenty minutes later, several people appeared in a tea restaurant.
After everyone ordered their meals, Zhang Ziqiang slowly spoke, "During this period of time, we will first look for suitable targets, and then I will try to get a batch of guns."
When Hu Jishu heard the word "gun", his eyes lit up. After looking around, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Qiang, it's better to get a few long guns. Short guns are too disadvantageous."
The other two brothers also nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's right."
Zhang Ziqiang took a sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"But there are only four of us. Isn't that a bit insufficient?"
In Zhang Ziqiang's plan, this time he was going to find a super rich man to target, and naturally the more manpower the better, to ensure that nothing would go wrong.
"I'll be in charge of driving and picking you up. There are only three of you on the front line, so it's a bit stretched."
After Hu Jishu said this, he asked again: "But where can we find suitable people in such a short time?"
To do something like this, you can't just find a random gangster to do it with.
Skill, courage and reliability are all essential.
Zhang Ziqiang had no answer to this question for the time being, so he could only comfort her: "Don't worry, it will take some time to find the target anyway, maybe he will come to you by then..."
Listening to these obviously comforting words, no one said anything. Just at this moment, the waiter came over with the barbecued pork rice and poached chicken, so they stopped talking about this topic.
……
Yen Chow Street, Sham Shui Po.
Countless shops are located behind this street, adjacent to each other, making it very lively.
There is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.
From the full parking spaces on the roadside, you can tell that business on this street is absolutely booming.
A group of people wearing baseball caps sat on a bench by the roadside, just like a grain of sand in the ocean, no one noticed them.
The leader was holding an ice cream cone in his hand, taking a bite from time to time with a relaxed look on his face.
"In this weather, eating a bite of ice cream is so refreshing!"
After Ye Guohuan said this, two more men came over and sat on the bench nearby.
"Brother Huan, we have looked at these jewelry shops. The styles and storefronts are all very similar."
"However, there is a Hutchison Jewellery store that sells very little gold, and most of it is jade."
"Besides, the price is very expensive. The cheapest bracelet costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan."
After one of the younger brothers finished speaking, another younger brother took over the conversation and said, "What we don't understand the most is that even though the price is so high, there are still many customers who pay for it. These people really don't take money seriously. They just buy a bracelet worth hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars without even blinking an eye."
"Brother Huan, look..."
The younger brother's face was full of jealousy and confusion, and he pointed his finger in the direction of Hutchison Jewelry.
"I'll attack your mother!"
"Put your claws back immediately!" Seeing this, Ye Guohuan's face immediately darkened. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said viciously.
If the occasion was not wrong, he would definitely make this younger brother who made the mistake remember this lesson for the rest of his life.
The younger brother quickly retracted his fingers, lowered his head, and said timidly: "Brother Huan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
"How do I usually teach you?"
"Don't point your finger at us. If you don't want to live, don't drag us down with you!" Ye Guohuan scolded the other party, ate the ice cream in one bite, chewed it for a few times, and then asked, "How is the security of Hutchison Jewelry?"
"Several people, have you checked it out?"
Faced with Ye Guohuan's question, the younger brothers did not dare to neglect it. After looking at each other, they said, "Brother Huan, the security force of this store is quite strong."
"From what we saw, there were more than a dozen security guards, and judging by the bulges on their waists, they should all be carrying guns."
"Moreover, we suspect that Hutchison Jewellery should have a lot of hidden guarantees, but we are not sure..."
After hearing this answer, Ye Guohuan was silent. Although the high prices of Hutchison Jewelry products made him excited, the strong security force made him a little afraid.
After all, people who work in this industry are risking their lives. The amount of money you can grab is not a big deal; the real difficulty lies in being able to spend it all alive.
After a moment of silence, Ye Guohuan stood up and said, "You guys continue to check the situation. I'm going to make a phone call and will be back soon."
The brothers nodded and went back to the work of scouting the site.
Ye Guohuan came to a public telephone booth. After waiting in line for a while, it was finally his turn. Just as he was about to pick up the receiver, a bespectacled man in a suit and tie got there first.
"Hey, sorry, I'm in a hurry, let me go first."
The bespectacled boy showed a sly smile. Although he said sorry, his actions showed that he had no guilt.
Ye Guohuan touched the mole under his cheekbone and asked, "I have something urgent to do, and everyone is queuing up. Why do you get in first?"
Hearing this, the people queuing behind Ye Guohuan immediately turned their attention to the two people, but no one chose to stand up and speak, instead they all just watched the fun.
After the bespectacled boy looked Ye Guohuan up and down, he put his hands on his hips and said loudly, "What do you think? I'm just this big. If you don't like it, just do it if you have the guts!"
"I'm telling you the truth. I have Master Guan tattooed on my back. Do you dare to touch me?"
Faced with the bespectacled man's aggressiveness, Ye Guohuan's face was gloomy, and the anger in his heart was constantly boiling, getting more and more intense.
However, when Ye Guohuan thought of the plan, he had to suppress his anger and said, “Are you sure you don’t want to let me?”
Making trouble in public will definitely increase the risk of exposure.
If important things are delayed because of this, it will definitely not be worth it.
Seeing that Ye Guohuan was getting scared, Siyanzi became even more aggressive. He pointed his finger at Ye Guohuan's face and said, "I took the lead based on my own ability. Why should I give it to you?"
"If you don't leave, I promise to find someone to beat you up!"
"You're dressed so poorly, you can tell at a glance that you're poor!"
The bespectacled guy kept talking. Ye Guohuan took a deep breath, looked at him deeply, lowered his baseball cap, and turned away.
After walking another street, Ye Guohuan found another empty telephone booth.
After he opened the door, he walked in, picked up the receiver, put in two coins, and skillfully dialed a number.
"Hey, who are you? What do you want from me?"
Ye Guohuan held the receiver tightly, looked around, lowered his voice and said, "It's me, Ye Guohuan."
Hearing this voice, the voice on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then became much more enthusiastic, "It turns out to be Brother Huan. I haven't seen you for so many years. How are you doing?"
Ye Guohuan, known as the King of Thieves in the Hong Kong underworld.
Two years ago, he suddenly emerged and, within just 20 days, he organized a gang to rob several jewelry stores in Hong Kong Island. He was then arrested and sentenced to 16 years' imprisonment in Stanley.
Miraculously, during his sentence, Ye Guohuan lied that he had a stomachache and was subsequently taken to Queen Mary Hospital for examination by prison guards.
During this time, Yip Kwok-fan suddenly said that he had to go to the toilet urgently. He found two glass bottles in the toilet, broke one of them and used it as a weapon. He then rushed out with a glass bottle in each hand, threatened the two correctional officers, and rushed out of the hospital gate.
A van happened to be parked in front of the hospital. Ye Guohuan boarded the van and held the 37-year-old van driver and his six-year-old son hostage. He forced the driver to take him away and forced the driver to take off his clothes and leather shoes so that he could change into them.
In the end, Ye Guohuan got off the bus at Wong Chuk Hang and escaped by bus.
After the incident was exposed, the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force immediately organized personnel to conduct a search, but found nothing.
A wanted warrant was subsequently issued, but after so many years, there is still no news of Ye Guohuan.
People in the underworld said that Ye Guohuan fled to the mainland and lived a carefree life relying on the wealth he had saved.
Some people also said that Ye Guohuan grew opium in the Jinshan Cape area.
There is even a saying that Ye Guohuan has been drowned because he offended a big boss.
There were all kinds of speculations, but none of them were confirmed. Over time, the name was forgotten in the world.
So many new people replace the old ones, it has always been like this.
Ye Guo laughed and said, "Brother Liang, no matter how well we live, we can't compare to you."
"We have to put our heads on the belt to make money, but you only need to move your fingers and talk to make the big money..."
"I was wondering when I could work with you and experience the feeling of making money while lying down..."
The person Ye Guohuan contacted was a man who was specifically responsible for selling stolen goods on the black market, and his nickname was Datouliang.
After robbing gold or jewelry, these desperate criminals would sell them to these stolen goods dealers.
Gold with a market value of one million would only be sold for half or even less in the hands of a stolen goods dealer like Datouliang.
One reason is that they need to make a profit from the price difference, and the other reason is that these stolen goods will be the focus of police attention, and if they are sold at the original price, they certainly cannot be sold.
Therefore, Ye Guohuan would basically find Datouliang to sell the stolen goods every time. Although the amount was a little less, it could be converted into cash immediately, and it also saved the risk of selling the stolen goods.
"Brother Huan, you are really joking. People like us also earn our money through hard work."
"After all, the Hong Kong Island Police Force is keeping a close eye on this kind of thing, so it would be very troublesome to take action."
"Besides, if Brother Huan hadn't taken care of my business, I would have starved to death long ago..."
Having worked together so many times, Datouliang certainly knew Ye Guohuan's character. After some flattery, Ye Guohuan's anger completely dissipated.
"Okay, I knew you could talk. I came to you this time to ask you about something."
Da Tou Liang said without hesitation, "Brother Huan, you are giving me face by coming to me for help. Just tell me what you want to know."
"As long as I know something, I will tell you everything I know!"
Ye Guohuan said slowly: "I see that there are many more Hutchison Jewelry stores in Hong Kong Island now. It seems that they are newly opened companies, mainly engaged in jadeite business."
"The cheapest bracelets are sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and business is still very good."
"I want to ask you, do you know who the owner of Hutchison Jewelry is?"
Ye Guohuan was able to escape unscathed after robbing more than twenty gold shops and being captured in Stanley. Although luck was partly to blame, it had more to do with his cautious work style.
Before taking action every time, Ye Guohuan would inquire about the background and identity of the gold shop owner. If the other party was too difficult to deal with, he would change his target.
It was because of this that Ye Guohuan was able to wait for the opportunity to escape from prison in Stanley.
Otherwise, he would have committed suicide as soon as he entered Stanley.
After hearing this, the man on the other end of the line exclaimed in surprise and asked quickly into the phone, "Brother Huan, you haven't already taken action against Hutchison Jewelry, have you?"
Ye Guohuan shook his head and said, "Don't you know who I am?"
"I will never act rashly before I get the details."
Hearing this, Datouliang was obviously relieved and said, "That's good, that's good..."
After swallowing his saliva, Da Tou Liang subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "Brother Huan, listen to my advice. Don't think about Hutchison Jewelry. Even if you succeed in robbing those goods, no one in Hong Kong will dare to take them."
"No, even in Haojiang and Formosa, no one dares to take it!"
Listening to Datouliang's decisive words, Ye Guohuan couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Is it really that exaggerated?"
"It's only been three years. When did Hong Kong Island produce such a person?"
"It's already this late, so stop keeping me in suspense and tell me who the owner of Hutchison Jewelry is."
Da Tou Liang picked up the water cup, drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and then slowly spoke, "Actually, when you heard the words 'Hutchison Whampoa', you should have known..."
