Chapter 638
Luo Tianhong's Courage
"Boss, we've got a lead!!"
Inside the Dongying Building, Jiang Tianzhong looked at his subordinates who rushed in with displeasure.
"What's the rush? Go out and knock on the door."
The subordinate looked anxious. "Boss, we've found the kid who killed Hong Ye. He's a cripple. He's with a woman, and they live in Causeway Bay."
Jiang Tianzhong slowly stood up. "Are you sure?"
“That’s right. Although the brothers have stopped looking on the surface these days, they’ve been searching day and night behind the scenes. All the brothers have been mobilized and the search has been expanded.”
"This kid didn't get very far. And he's a cripple, which perfectly matches the person we're looking for."
"Kill him, don't capture him. This guy is skilled in martial arts, capable of killing Hong Ye."
"Don't worry, boss."
Zhongxinyi Hall.
Lian Haolong sat at the table with a solemn expression.
The main members of the gang were all around them, with Luo Tianhong and Aheng standing behind Lian Haodong, each holding a Tang sword.
"Extort me, kill that woman!"
Su Su shook her head. "What if what this woman said is true? This matter could be a big deal or a small deal."
Lian Haodong straightened up. "Does Ah Wu have a bank number?"
Su Su thought for a moment, "There probably isn't, but what if there really is? We dare not gamble. If we lose once, we'll all be wiped out and die. If A Wu tells us, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lian Haodong clenched his fists tightly. "Can't the money in the household registration be transferred out?"
Susu shook her head. "At least a week, and that may not be the whole time."
Lian Haolong took a deep breath. "How much money do you have?"
"Four or five hundred million, I guess."
Lian Haolong slammed his hand on the table. "No doubt about it. Kill Ah Wu. Before you do it, find out who else knows. Kill them all too."
"Tianhong, Adong, you two go and do it. Ahwu is in prison now, go in and kill him."
Lian Haodong nodded. He had never done anything in the gang, and these core members already had their own explanations for him.
Even if he didn't say it, he was still wondering about it.
This is a great opportunity.
Eliminate Ah Wu to prevent financial instability within the gang.
In the dark alleys of Causeway Bay, the secret warehouse of Chung Shun Yee was filled with the stench of blood.
Tracy was tied to a rusty iron chair, her face covered in bruises and blood.
Her hands were tightly bound with nylon rope, her knuckles twisted beyond recognition.
Lian Haodong squatted in front of her, holding a small pair of pliers with dark red bloodstains on the jaws.
"I'll ask you one more time: besides you, who else knows Ah Wu's bank account?"
Trish struggled to lift her head, her eyes swollen shut, and spat out a mouthful of bloody foam. "If I die, the account will be sent to the police station, and you won't dare."
Before she could finish speaking, Lian Haodong suddenly grabbed her right ring finger and with a sharp "snap," the nail was completely ripped off.
Triss's screams echoed through the warehouse, her voice hoarse and almost tearing her throat apart.
Luo Tianhong leaned against the wall, holding the Tang sword, and watched this scene indifferently.
Ah Heng paced impatiently, "Brother Dong, this kind of woman won't last long, let's just get rid of her."
"What's the rush?" Lian Haodong sneered, turning to Su Su. "What do you think, Sister Su?"
Su Su sat elegantly on an old sofa, smoking a women's cigarette. "Just don't kill them. At least find out if there are any backups. A woman like Triss would definitely have a backup plan."
Lian Haodong nodded and picked up a bottle of industrial alcohol from the table next to him.
"This is your last chance. Speak up and I'll give you a quick death. If you don't," he shook the alcohol bottle. "You should know what it feels like to pour this on a wound."
Triss trembled all over, her pupils dilated with fear. Her lips quivered, as if she were weighing her last options.
"I told a friend that if I don't contact her within three days, she will send a copy of the ledger to the police."
"What friend? Name, address." Lian Haodong's tone was calm, but his eyes revealed a murderous intent.
A few minutes later, Triss slumped in her chair, moaning in a daze.
"Kowloon Walled City, Ah Zhen"
“Tianhong has taken care of this. They found the woman with the ledger!” Susu said.
“Okay, then you handle things here.” Lian Haodong nodded. “Aheng and I will deal with Awu.”
Luo Tianhong walked up to Cui Si, looking down at her dying state, and asked, "Where's your account password?"
Triss opened her eyes with difficulty, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just weakly shook her head.
Without hesitation, Luo Tianhong drew his Tang sword, its cold light flashing.
Triss could no longer make a sound, only let out hoarse gasps.
"There's no password. That's what we tricked Sister Su into giving. I really don't know what a password is... But the ledger is real. Ah Wu stole it... There really isn't a password for the account."
"That's enough, she wasn't lying." Su Su stood up. "Clean it up thoroughly, don't leave any traces."
Luo Tianhong nodded and watched Lian Haodong and Susu leave the warehouse.
After the warehouse door closed, Luo Tianhong squatted down and whispered in Cui Si's ear, "Don't worry, it won't hurt too much."
A final tear rolled down Triss's cheek. The next second, the Tang sword sliced across her throat, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
Luo Tianhong stood up and waved to his two henchmen beside him, "Take care of them, same old routine."
Stanley Prison, late at night.
Ah Wu tossed and turned in his cell, unable to sleep.
Since his arrest, he has been in a state of unease, not only because of the drug trafficking charge, but also because he knows he may be silenced.
He knew Lian Haolong; that man would never allow anyone to threaten the gang's interests, not even his brothers of many years.
Slight footsteps came from the corridor outside the cell, and Ah Wu immediately sat up alertly.
"Lights out time, lie down!" The constable's voice came from outside the door.
Ah Wu breathed a sigh of relief and lay down again.
But a few seconds later, he heard an unusual sound, the sound of a key turning, and it wasn't the normal patrol rhythm of the police.
He sat up abruptly and saw the cell door slowly opening in the darkness.
Two figures in police uniforms flashed in, but Ah Wu recognized them at a glance as Lian Haodong and Ah Heng.
“Brother Dong.” Ah Wu’s voice trembled.
"Ah Wu, I'm sorry." Lian Haodong lowered his voice, holding a sharpened toothbrush handle in his hand. "You know too much about what Brother Long means."
Ah-heng stood guard at the door, also holding a homemade weapon in his hand.
"Brother Dong, wait! I can handle the account issue. I know how to transfer the money out." Ah Wu, quick-witted, tried to buy some time.
Lian Haodong paused for a moment, then said, "Speak."
"They need my retinal scan and fingerprints; the bank's security system has been upgraded," Ah Wu said rapidly. "Kill me, and you'll never get those four hundred million back!"
"You think we'd believe that?" Ah Heng sneered.
"It's true! Swiss banks upgraded their security last year; you have to be present in person or provide biometrics!" Ah Wu practically pleaded. "Take me there, I can transfer all the money! All of it! I don't want a single penny!"
Lian Haodong's eyes flickered, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
Four hundred million is no small sum; even Haolong would be tempted by it.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps echoed down the corridor.
"Someone's coming!" Ah-heng whispered.
Without hesitation, Lian Haodong stabbed Ah Wu with the toothbrush handle.
Ah Wu dodged desperately, but the sharp plastic pierced his shoulder instead of his heart.
"Ah!" Ah Wu's scream echoed in the cell.
The footsteps grew closer, and Lian Haodong knew he had to retreat.
He drew his weapon and, together with Ah Heng, quickly left the cell and disappeared into the dark corridor.
A few seconds later, the real police arrived and, seeing Ah Wu lying in a pool of blood, immediately sounded the alarm.
The prison alarms blared instantly.
Ah Wu was rushed to the prison hospital; although the wound on his shoulder was deep, it was not fatal.
Police increased their protection of him, realizing that there might be a larger conspiracy behind the attack.
When Lian Haolong learned at the gang that the operation had failed, he was furious.
"Useless! Neither of them could take down an injured person!" Lian Haodong lowered his head and remained silent. Ah Heng tried to explain, "Brother Dong is considering the four hundred million."
"Four hundred million my ass!" Lian Haolong slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "Now the police have increased their protection and they even know we're trying to silence us! This is worse than an account leak!"
Susu calmly analyzed: "Although the hospital is heavily guarded, it's not without its chances. The key is to act quickly and decisively, leaving no survivors."
“The police are already on alert, and forcibly storming the hospital is too risky,” Luo Tianhong suggested. “It would be better to wait until the trial and take action on the way.”
"We can't wait!" Lian Haolong said decisively. "The longer Ah Wu lives, the more dangerous it becomes for us. Who knows if he'll cooperate with the police to protect himself?"
Everyone fell silent.
Lian Haolong looked around and said, "Tianhong, you will go personally this time. Take the most elite brothers and take action at three in the morning. Remember, leave no survivors, including the police officers present."
A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Luo Tianhong's eyes. "Understood."
—
At 2:55 a.m., the area outside the prison hospital was quiet.
Luo Tianhong, accompanied by six fully armed men, approached the hospital in separate groups. They were dressed in black tactical uniforms, wore masks, and were equipped with silenced pistols and short knives.
"Team A, take care of the patrol downstairs. Team B, follow me to the third floor." Luo Tianhong gave the order through the miniature earpiece. "Move quickly, and kill anyone who resists."
Three minutes later, faint sounds of fighting and muffled groans came from downstairs, then silence returned.
Luo Tianhong and his three men entered the hospital building silently. Since the elevators were disabled, they chose to take the stairs.
At the corner on the second floor, a night nurse happened to appear pushing a medicine cart.
Upon seeing the four fully armed men, she opened her mouth in terror, but before she could utter a sound, Luo Tianhong approached like a ghost and delivered a precise chop to her neck.
The nurse collapsed to the ground.
"Hurry." Luo Tianhong gestured to his men to continue forward.
Luo Tianhong pushed open the ward door, and Awu was lying on the hospital bed with a bandage wrapped around her shoulder. She opened her eyes in fright when she heard the sound.
"Tianhong, no, don't!" Ah Wu tried to press the call button, but Luo Tianhong was faster.
The Tang sword was drawn, its cold light aimed directly at Awu's throat.
Ah Wu died on the spot.
"Target cleared, retreat!" Luo Tianhong ordered, throwing a smoke grenade towards the door at the same time.
Thick smoke quickly filled the entire corridor, temporarily blocking police reinforcements.
Suddenly, several figures stood downstairs, raising their pistols and aiming at them.
"Tianhong, look!" Ah Wu ran up from behind and pointed down.
Luo Tianhong's pupils contracted. "We have no choice but to jump."
The two turned to look at their underlings behind them.
The younger brothers immediately understood and nodded in agreement.
"I will definitely bring you your resettlement allowance."
The underling grinned maliciously and returned to the corridor to fight.
Suddenly, a fat man emerged from the smoke.
The fat man raised his pistol. "Don't move."
Luo Tianhong twisted his neck, slowly raised his hand, and suddenly threw his Tang sword out in an instant.
The blade instantly severed the fat man's neck. Luo Tianhong lunged forward, grabbed the Tang sword with both hands, and chopped off the fat man's head.
"Jump."
The two jumped from the fourth floor and landed precisely on the roof of the second-floor building opposite.
boom!
Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and Ah Heng staggered, looking down to find that a bullet had hit his chest.
He pushed Luo Tianhong aside and gave a faint smile. "Let's go."
Luo Tianhong remained calm, biting her Tang sword as she prepared to carry Ah Heng.
"Let's go, stop pretending to be so noble... Either we'll both die here, let's go..."
Luo Tianhong gritted her teeth and noticed that Liao Zhizhong and the others were starting to surround her.
He gave Ah Heng a deep look and quickly ran away.
Ah Heng smiled, slowly stood up, and raised his hands.

The next morning, Lian Haolong watched the news on TV with a satisfied smile on his face.
"An attack occurred this morning at Stanley Prison Hospital, where an incarcerated drug dealer was killed. Police say it was an organized, professionally-run operation."
Susu turned off the TV. "Tianhong did a clean job, but the police will definitely intensify their investigation."
"Let them investigate," Lian Haolong said dismissively. "Without evidence, they won't trace it back to us. The key issue is that four hundred million."
“Tracy is dead, Ah Wu is dead, the account should be safe now,” Su Su said.
Just then, Luo Tianhong walked into the hall, his shoulder wrapped in bandages.
"Brother Long, we've found Ah Zhen from Kowloon Walled City."
"What did you find out?"
“She did have a copy of the ledger, but we’ve already gotten it back.” Luo Tianhong placed a file bag on the table. “In addition, she said that Triss also sent a copy to Brother Fo. This woman was placed here by Brother Fo.”
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
"What?" Lian Haolong stood up abruptly. "Are you sure?"
"That's what Ah Zhen said, for double insurance," Luo Tianhong replied calmly. "Do I need to handle this?"
Lian Haolong slowly sat down, his face grim.
After much deliberation, Lian Haolong finally made a decision: "Let's try diplomacy first, then force. Arrange a meeting to sound out Brother Fo's opinion. If he wants money, we can talk. If he wants to use this against us..."
He didn't finish speaking, but the murderous intent in his eyes said it all.
“Aheng is dead.” Luo Tianhong looked at Lian Haolong quietly.
Lian Haolong sighed, "I understand. Don't worry, not a penny less."

Meanwhile, the Hung Hing Society in Causeway Bay.
Chan Ho-nam received a package containing Chung Shun-yee's drug ledger and bank account information.
After carefully reading through it, he frowned.
"Brother Nan, this is too hot to handle," the underling said from the side. "Zhongxinyi has considerable power now. If we really break off relations, neither side will benefit."
“I know.” Chan Ho-nam closed the ledger. “But this is an opportunity. Isn’t the opportunity Master gave us precisely to undermine loyalty and righteousness? It’s just that woman…”
"I heard it was a spy that Buddha arranged to go in. The woman told Buddha first, and then told us."
"This ledger was sent by Brother Buddha."
Chan Ho-nam lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled smoke: "Four or five hundred million... four or five hundred million... people will die... a lot of people will die."
He gazed at the Hong Kong night view outside the window, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
and……
This suddenly appearing powerful being made him feel uneasy.
From Chinatown in the United States to here, Feng Yuxiu has been leading them the whole way.
A while ago, they killed all the elders of the Hung Hing gang in a short period of time.
The person's eyes showed absolutely no kindness towards their fellow human beings when they killed.
It's like seeing a bunch of pigs and dogs; in other words, this person's mind is not bound by morality or ethics.
Although he is following Feng Yuxiu's lead now, what will happen once everything is resolved?
There are still a lot of people in Hung Hing, aren't we going to deal with all of them?
He dared not gamble; these days, whenever he closed his eyes, images of those old people lying in pools of blood flashed through his mind.
The scene suffocated him, and for the first time, he regretted stepping back into gang warfare.
The fate of Chicken's brothers reminded Chan Ho-nam of it all again.
He regretted it and wanted to back out.
If this continues, he certainly won't be able to clean up the mess.

In his rented room in Causeway Bay, Weng Haisheng woke up from a nightmare, his vest soaked with cold sweat.
He looked out at the dark street, a strong sense of unease washing over him. (End of Chapter)
