Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Chapter 231 Getting closer

"Recently, there have been several heinous robberies of gold shops in Wong Tai Sin."

"The methods used by these criminals are cunning and varied, and they have very good anti-detection capabilities, so our police have not been able to identify specific suspects until now."

"What's worse is that these cases have caused panic among citizens. If the criminals are not arrested as soon as possible, the pressure from public opinion will increase."

Hearing this, Liu Xu shook his head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, and complained: "The criminals appearing in Hong Kong Island now are getting more and more cunning."

Then, he changed the subject and added calmly:

"It's a pity that there are no people from us and Lian Sheng in the Wong Tai Sin area, otherwise I would definitely ask them to help you gather information and intelligence so that these criminals will have nowhere to hide."

Mike's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He looked at Liu Xu deeply, and seeing that his eyes were clear and without any impurities, he slowly responded:

"Since we are on different sides, I don't dare to expect your organization to help me. But if Mr. Liu is willing to lend a hand in his personal capacity and provide some clues, I will certainly be very grateful."

After the show ended that night, he had been keeping an eye on Liu Xu. He knew that he not only had a large number of subordinates, but also owned the largest taxi company in Hong Kong Island.

Liu Xu had been waiting for Mike to say this. After all, actively offering help and the client actively asking for help are completely different in meaning.

The former may give people the suspicion of fawning and currying favor, while the latter stands on an equal footing and has a hint of friendship.

Therefore, when Mike finished speaking, Liu Xu patted his chest without hesitation and said confidently:

"Maintaining the stability and law and order of Hong Kong Island and cooperating with the police are the responsibilities and obligations of every Hong Kong Island citizen. I, Liu Xu, am certainly no exception."

"And you really helped me a lot with the photo shoot last time."

"Don't worry. I will call my brother Li Hangluo later and ask him to arrange dozens of smart and reliable people to be scattered throughout the Wong Tai Sin area to keep a close eye on any suspicious situations."

Liu Xu continued, "At the same time, I will also contact the person in charge of my taxi company and ask him to keep an eye out for unfamiliar faces in Hong Kong Island and report to me immediately if he finds any suspicious persons."

Mike smiled with relief when he heard this. With the help of Liu Xu's taxi company, although it couldn't help him solve the case immediately, it could at least increase the possibility of solving the case by 10%.

In response to Mike's request for help, Liu Xu had a brief greeting with Mike.

After politely filling a cup of tea for the other person, Liu Xu took the initiative to stand up and bid farewell to the reception room in a decent and polite manner.

The moment he stepped out of the reception room, Liu Xu subconsciously glanced at the time on his wrist, secretly calculating that Scorpion Tail should have woken up from his sweet dream by now.

He quickly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Scorpion Tail's number with his fingers skillfully.

The phone was picked up quickly after only three crisp rings.

Scorpion Tail's familiar and powerful voice came from the receiver: "Hello, this is Scorpion Tail, who is looking for me?"

"It's me, Liu Xu. I have an important task for you to gather information on." Liu Xu's voice was steady and firm, revealing unquestionable authority.

Hearing the familiar voice and the name of the boss Liu Xu, Scorpion Tail's heart trembled. He instantly stopped the work in his hands and waited attentively for Liu Xu's instructions.

He responded quickly: "Brother Xu, just give me your orders, and I will do my best."

Liu Xu heard the reply from Scorpion Tail on the other end of the phone, coughed lightly, and continued: "We can pay less attention to the situation in Tsim Sha Tsui East."

"I want you to focus on the robbery in Wong Tai Sin that you reported a few days ago."

"Your mission is to try to get the photos of the robbers and their residential information. This matter is very important for our subsequent development, so you must pay more attention to it."

"In addition, let our taxi brothers try to temporarily narrow their business scope to the Wong Tai Sin area and its surrounding areas to facilitate cross-surveillance," Liu Xu added.

Hearing this, Scorpion Tail couldn't help but feel a little restless. He asked tentatively, "Brother Xu, if we get the information of these people, do we need to arrange some people to subdue them?"

Liu Xu pondered for a moment, and the conversation with Mike flashed through his mind. The character that the other party showed in front of him, in addition to his love of money, also had a hint of stubbornness.

He estimated that if he handed the subdued robber directly to Mike, the other party would be grateful, but at the same time might also cause a little disgust on his part.

Therefore, Liu Xu decisively rejected Scorpion Tail's proposal: "No, you just need to get the photos of the robbers and investigate their addresses. We will not interfere with the rest."

Although Scorpion Tail was full of doubts, he knew his duty and did not ask any more questions.

For him, the most important thing is to successfully complete the task assigned by the boss Liu Xu, rather than exploring the reasons and details.

After arranging everything, Liu Xu hung up the phone and turned to walk towards the slightly quiet training room next to the training ground.

As a respected senior member of the "Harbor Shooting Club", Liu Xu enjoys unique privileges.

The club's coach and owner, Mason, personally assigned him an independent and fully equipped shooting training room, allowing him to escape from the noisy training ground.

This training room is not only equipped with the most advanced shooting simulation system, but also a series of targets and gun racks customized for different shooting needs.

Ensure that the trainee can train in the most comfortable and professional environment, thereby maximizing his shooting skills and reaction speed.

When he first saw the advanced simulated shooting system, Liu Xu keenly realized that Mason's family must have a high status and deep background in British society.

This system, as a cutting-edge technology product that was only introduced in the 1980s, has been deeply favored and strictly controlled in the military industry since its inception.

It can not only simulate various complex shooting scenarios, but also be highly customized according to the needs of the trainees, thereby greatly improving the effectiveness and efficiency of shooting training.

In this day and age, even among military powers, only a few elite troops or special forces have access to this kind of high-tech training equipment.

For ordinary people, it is even more difficult to have such a system.

It not only requires high capital investment, but more importantly, it requires deep connections and resources closely connected with the military industry in order to pass layers of approval and restrictions.

Neither Mike nor Mason obviously had this ability. Therefore, he guessed that Mason's family had a high status in the British country.

Walking into the training room, the soft light sprinkled on the clean floor and the air was filled with a faint smell of gun oil, which made Liu Xu feel a little relaxed.

He walked to the shooting simulation system with ease and began to set up today's training plan.

Liu Xu selected a series of difficult shooting challenges, from fast-moving targets to long-range precision sniping, each designed to hone his shooting skills and reaction speed.

As the system started up, the atmosphere in the training room instantly became tense and focused.
