Chapter 146: Risking the City
In Saigon, Chen Mei had just seen Sang Bo and had no time to speak when a group of gunmen appeared, led by Lu Yongqiang himself.
Chen Mei was able to receive the news of Sang Bo's smuggling in advance, so naturally Lu Yongqiang could also. He provided money and manpower just for this day.
Lu Yongqiang didn't waste any time talking to Chen Mei. As soon as he appeared, he started shooting and killing people. He first took care of Sang Bo, and then took care of Chen Mei's men, leaving only Chen Mei alone.
Seeing Lu Yongqiang pointing a gun at his forehead, Chen Mei was terrified. He pretended to be calm and said, "Handsome Qiang, the grudge between you and A-long has been resolved. What do you mean now?"
Lu Yongqiang was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chen Mei and asked, "Old man, there's no need to waste time talking nonsense. I just want to ask you one question. Two months ago, did you send a gunman to assassinate Ah Heng?"
Hearing Lu Yongqiang's question, Chen Mei naturally wouldn't admit it. He said, "Handsome Qiang, you must have misunderstood. I have never sent anyone to deal with your people. I can swear. If I had sent those gunmen, my whole family would have died a miserable death."
After Chen Mei finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang said, "Old man, when you mentioned your family, it reminded me that your daughter-in-law and grandson seem to be still alive. If you don't want me to do anything to them, just tell the truth.
Old man, this is the last chance I give you. Think carefully before answering. If I didn't have any evidence, I wouldn't come to see you in this desolate place at night."
Chen Mei had originally intended to deny it, but after hearing the second half of Lu Yongqiang's words, he froze. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I sent the gunman. I thought I had dealt with everything very cleanly, but I still underestimated you. You actually found evidence."
"Handsome Qiang, can you let me die with a clear conscience? Tell me what evidence you found?"
Lu Yongqiang did not answer Chen Mei's question, but said: "You Hongtai have not been in the assassin brokerage business for a long time, and you don't have so many gunmen at your disposal.
Old man, if you tell me where these gunmen came from, I will tell you how I found the evidence, so that you can die with a clear conscience.
In the two months since Lu Yongheng's accident, Lu Yongqiang has been asking Shouhou to find out about Hongtai. At first, he thought that the gunman was the trump card left by the old fox Chen Mei.
However, according to Skinny Monkey's investigation, the gunmen were not from Gangcheng, but all Vietnamese. However, Hongtai had no influence in Vietnam, which meant that these people were hired by Chen Mei. So who was the introducer? This was what Lu Yongqiang wanted to know.
The reason why Lu Yongqiang kept talking nonsense to Chen Mei was to get him to tell him about the introducer.
After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Chen Mei did not hide anything and said, "He was the one who introduced Hong Si from Kowloon Walled City."
As he spoke, Chen Mei sneered and said, "Handsome Qiang, if you have the ability, go to the Walled City and find Hong Si."
Knowing the answer he wanted, Lu Yongqiang pulled the trigger directly. With a "bang", Chen Mei fell down, shot in the head by Lu Yongqiang.
After killing Chen Mei, Lu Yongqiang said to the Duxie beside him, "Duxie, arrange the scene according to the plan. By the way, give Skinny Monkey a call and have him kill Chen Tailong's wife and children. I want to wipe out this old man's entire family."
After giving an order to the Poison Scorpion, Lu Yongqiang turned and walked away.
Back in the car, Lu Yongqiang ordered, "Dadong, drive to the walled city."
Kowloon Walled City was indeed once prosperous, but it has long since fallen into decline. Back then, people like Xiyan and Chen Mei relied on the walled city for their livelihoods. However, since the government decided to demolish the walled city, the number of people living there has been decreasing. The number of underworld figures who rely on the walled city for their livelihoods has also been decreasing.
Hong Si was indeed very powerful. In the post-walled city period, he was considered a bully in the city. However, because he couldn't let go of his original identity and status, he was reluctant to leave the city, and his power had declined a lot over the years.
Chen Mei thought that Lu Yongqiang didn't dare to deal with Hong Si, but Lu Yongqiang was about to touch the tiger's whiskers.
It was already late at night when they arrived at the walled city. Lu Yongqiang led his men straight to Hong Si's residence.
The environment of the fortress is complicated. If we rush in directly, Hong Si may escape, which will be very troublesome. This man has a lot of assassins at his disposal.
So Lu Yongqiang didn't bring many people with him. He only brought the two brothers Dadong and Luo Tianhong, and the four of them came to Hong Si's residence.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the alley where Hong Si lived, Lu Yongqiang and his companions were stopped by Hong Si's men.
"What?"
Lu Yongqiang said, "Hongxing handsome boy Qiang, I want to discuss a big business with the Fourth Master."
"It's too late now, come back after daybreak!"
Lu Yongqiang took out his wallet, pulled out a large stack of banknotes, and handed them all to Hong Si's men. Then he said, "Brother, please inform the Fourth Master and tell him that this is a deal worth tens of millions. If the Fourth Master still doesn't want to see me, then I will leave immediately."
After hearing what Lu Yongqiang said, the man looked at the banknotes in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "Then wait a moment, I'll go in and inform the Fourth Master."
As he spoke, the man gave a wink to the person next to him, then turned and walked into the alley.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the man came out of the alley and said to Lu Yongqiang, "The Fourth Master agreed to see you, but only you can go in alone."
Lu Yongqiang nodded in agreement and prepared to walk into the alley.
But the man stopped Lu Yongqiang and pointed at the pistol at his waist.
Lu Yongqiang took off his pistol and handed it to Dadong. The man searched Lu Yongqiang again. He checked very carefully, searching Lu Yongqiang from head to toe. He did not find any weapons on Lu Yongqiang, so he let him go.
Lu Yongqiang walked for four or five minutes and came to the entrance of a smaller alley. A man stopped Lu Yongqiang and said, "Follow me." After that, he turned and walked into the alley.
Lu Yongqiang didn't say anything and followed the man for more than a minute before arriving at a small courtyard. The man pushed open the gate and walked in with Lu Yongqiang.
Lu Yongqiang observed the environment as he walked and found that there were actually quite a few people in the yard. It seemed that the rumors in the underworld were true. Hong Si was indeed afraid of death. Not only did he arrange spies at the entrance of his own nest and alley, but he also arranged twenty or thirty bodyguards in the yard where he lived.
Lu Yongqiang followed the man all the way to the third floor and met the rumored Hong Si.
Judging from his age, Hong Si is in his fifties. His hair is gray, but it is neatly groomed and he looks very energetic.
Lu Yongqiang spoke first. He said, "Fourth Master, it's really not easy to see you. Not only are you a long way from me, but even your residence is one real and one fake."
Hong Si looked up at Lu Yongqiang and said, "I've offended too many people, and countless people want to kill me. In order to live a few more years, I have to be careful. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, a young man."
Hong Si and Xiyan are doing similar business, both are killer agents, but there is one difference. Xiyan will not take any business. He will assess the strength of the target in advance. If the target is too strong, he will not take the business no matter how much money he is offered.
Hong Si is different. As long as the money is in place, he dares to take the order to assassinate the president of the United States. Of course, he will accept the order and send enough killers according to the price you offer, but there is no guarantee whether he can complete the task.
Of course, Hong Si also does intermediary business, that is, he acts as a middleman. He only takes the introduction fee that he deserves, and he doesn't care how the two parties negotiate afterwards.
Judging from the fact that the gunmen who attacked Lu Yongheng were silenced afterwards, Lu Yongqiang suspected that these gunmen were not Hong Si's men, but gunmen that Hong Si found for Chen Mei as an intermediary.
Anyway, just like Hong Si said, he had offended many people over the years, and many people wanted him dead, so like Xiyan, this old guy had been living in seclusion, hiding in the city. He had many people in the city, and few people could enter the city to kill him.
While Hong Si was speaking, Lu Yongqiang was also walking towards Hong Si. Just as he was about to reach Hong Si, he was unexpectedly stopped by Hong Si's men.
Lu Yongqiang was stopped by someone and looked at Hong Si.
Hong Si smiled and said, "Young man, since you're here to discuss business with me, it's best for us to keep a safe distance from each other to prevent misunderstandings in the middle of the night. What business do you want to discuss? Just stand there and talk."
Lu Yongqiang estimated the distance between himself and Hong Si, and found they were about four or five meters apart. He also noticed that, in addition to the people standing in front of him and behind Hong Si, there were two more people behind the screen behind Hong Si, and two more at the door to the inner room. Together with the two outside, there were eight people in total.
At such a long distance, if he couldn't kill Hong Si in the first place and let his men entangle him, and then the twenty or thirty people downstairs rushed up, he would probably have no chance to kill Hong Si.
Lu Yongqiang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a clear voice, "Fourth Master, I heard that you are a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. I came here to ask where you found the gunmen who assassinated my brother Ah Heng two months ago. Of course, I won't let you work in vain. If you tell me the information you want to know, I can pay you 10 million."
Hong Si's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, "Young man, I don't know what you are talking about. It seems that I can't do this business with you. A Quan, please show me out!" As he spoke, Hong Si had already stood up and prepared to leave.
Lu Yongqiang snorted coldly and said, "Fourth Master, don't pretend to be ignorant. Chen Mei has already admitted it and said that you introduced the killer to him. I came here today just to hear your explanation."
Before Lu Yongqiang could finish his words, Ah Quan, who was standing next to him, pushed Lu Yongqiang in the chest and said sternly, "Boy, are you deaf? The Fourth Master has already said that he doesn't know about this bullshit gunman. Don't make things difficult for yourself."
Lu Yongqiang was waiting for this opportunity. When Ah Quan pushed him, he pretended to lose his balance and swayed. When he was about to fall, he panicked and grabbed Ah Quan's collar. Then they both fell to the ground at the same time. Ah Quan fell on Lu Yongqiang.
When the man fell on him, Lu Yongqiang moved his tongue in his mouth, and a sharp blade was tightly bitten by his teeth. When A Quan fell on him, he shook his head hard, and the blade in his mouth scratched A Quan's neck.
Afterwards, Lu Yongqiang spat out the blade in his mouth and pushed A Quan away in a very embarrassed manner, but while pushing A Quan away, he had already taken A Quan's gun from his body.
