Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 754: Stand firm on morality before taking action
Seeing that Uncle Hai didn't know where this group of South Vietnamese defeated soldiers were hiding, Chu Xiangqian could only look at Zhang Tianzhi.

Lao Zhang also shook his head and said helplessly, "Ever since Boss Lan started looking for people everywhere to get those people out, all the uniformed soldiers, plainclothes officers, and gangs in Kowloon and the New Territories have been out looking for people.

But I've been searching for almost half a month, and there's basically no useful information.

When I met Luotuo and Deng Fei before, they both speculated that this group of people were either hiding on the islands around Hong Kong Island.

Or they can disperse and live their lives separately like normal people, so as not to arouse suspicion from the neighbors around them. "

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and nodded. Grouping three or five people together would indeed easily arouse suspicion among the old residents.

But renting a house alone, or even living with relatives, is indeed less likely to arouse suspicion from neighbors.

As for the islands around Hong Kong Island, that is more difficult to deal with.

There are 262 islands around Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, at least dozens of which are habitable.

Moreover, since these people are veterans, as long as they have sufficient supplies, they will have no problem living on the jungle island with water for a year or two.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and decided to let the titmouse search for the islands one by one every night when he did not go out.

Or use large sums of money to attract people out.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that the horse racing auction was definitely the best scene for kidnapping.

Anyone who can participate in the auction is a wealthy person, and if they dare to participate, they must have at least 200,000 or 300,000 US dollars in order to buy a good horse.

A small number of people, such as the wealthy people in the Middle East, can easily take out millions of dollars.

As long as they control the venue, they can plunder tens of millions.

Chu Xiangqian no longer had the mood to watch the show. These guys were just trying to rob him of his money.

And once the kidnapping news comes out, I will never be able to hold a horse racing auction again.

This is cutting off your own source of income.

Chu Xiangqian decided instantly that he must kill them before the auction.

He said to Zhang Tianzhi and Hai Shu, "Publish the news. I will pay 100 million Hong Kong dollars for the whereabouts of these people. And I will give 20 Hong Kong dollars for killing one of them.

If we kill them all, even if there are 50 of them, as long as their identities are confirmed afterwards, 1000 million Hong Kong dollars will be paid on the same day."

Zhang Tianzhi and Uncle Hai swallowed their saliva after hearing this.

Ten million Hong Kong dollars in cash is enough to buy 200 apartments of several dozen square meters in Causeway Bay.

When you come across a new property, you can buy each building one by one.

From now on, I will own three or five residential buildings and be a landlord, and I won’t have to worry about my livelihood for several lifetimes.

In an instant, even Zhang Tianzhi and Hai Shu began to be moved.

But after they calmed down, they still felt that Chu Xiangqian was going too far in helping Lan Gang.

If that group of people were to be angered, they might target Chu Xiangqian or the woman around him.

After listening to the two people's persuasion, Chu Xiangqian sighed helplessly and said, "After the 120 horses I brought back last time have adapted to the climate of Hong Kong Island at the racecourse and have recovered to their best condition, the auction will begin.

If this group of people sets their sights on the auction venue and kidnaps one or two hundred wealthy people from all over the world, I will never be able to hold an auction again.

This is cutting off my source of income, I will not feel at ease unless I kill them."

Zhang Tianzhi and Uncle Hai finally came to their senses and nodded. Uncle Hai immediately suggested, "Boss, you are right to have these concerns, but when we offer a reward, should we just say that you are helping Mr. Lan solve a problem?"

Chu Xiangqian laughed after hearing this. Uncle Hai had a good idea. According to Lan Gang's character, if he really scraped the person out.

This guy will definitely rush to pay the bounty.

But after thinking about it for a while, I will definitely feel that I have been tricked.

So Chu Xiangqian smiled and shook his head. The less he said, the more that he was helping Lan Gang by offering a reward, the more that kid would think that he was helping him.

After all, in previous auctions, plainclothes officers and military uniforms, as well as mobile forces, monitored and maintained order at the auction site and outside the venue throughout the entire process.

In the eyes of ordinary people, no one has the courage to cause trouble at the venue.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head at Uncle Hai, "No need, just do as I say and tell the public that I'm worried that this group of people are targeting the horse racing auction, so I want to deal with them."

After saying that, Chu Xiangqian thought about it for two or three seconds and felt that it was still not safe to do so.

After all, I don’t know how many people are on the other side. If there are some who slip through the net, they may really seek revenge on me.

I am not afraid, but Linda, Eliza, Xiaolaner, Gangsheng, Feifei and my beloved son Chu Jingrong who will definitely return to Hong Kong Island in the future are the best targets for the opponent's revenge.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian hurriedly continued, "Don't rush to issue a reward."

Then he looked at Zhang Tianzhi and said, "Brother Zhi, go call He Yisheng from the newspaper and tell him that the horse racing auction will continue to be held at the Jockey Club this year.

It should also be mentioned that there are more horses racing this year than in previous years, which will definitely create a higher total auction amount.

I just don’t believe that this group of people would not be tempted after seeing the news.”

Chu Xiangqian had already decided to hold this year's auction at his own Kowloon Racecourse.

Now they have released news that the event will continue to be held at the Jockey Club, which is naturally a deliberate attempt to mislead the outside world.

Zhang Tianzhi and Uncle Hai understood after hearing this that the boss was trying to lure the snake out of its hole.

As long as someone from this group scouts around the Jockey Club and checks the infiltration and evacuation routes, their tracks will be exposed.

If we follow the scouts, we will find the hiding place of this group of people.

Chu Xiangqian had more on his mind. He had been worried about this group of people before and had not set his sights on the auction. If he offered a reward for their arrest, it would be tantamount to actively making enemies with them.

Now, as long as this group of people are really keeping an eye on the Jockey Club, Shanque will be able to find them more easily, and it will be justified for him to kill them.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian doesn't have to do it himself and his own people. He can just let Lan Gang and the police arrest people.

If a gunfight breaks out, it is only natural for the police to catch the thieves.

If anyone really wants revenge in the future, they will go find Lan Gang.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian smiled. It seemed that he would have to have a good chat with Lan Gang for a while.

As for whether he would betray Lan Gang, in Chu Xiangqian's heart, his own life, the life of his wife and children were more important than the lives of his friends and brothers.
-
Zhang Tianzhi went to make a phone call and did not notice Chu Xiangqian's expression, but when Uncle Hai saw him smile, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart that it seemed that the boss was planning something again.

Then Uncle Hai's mind moved, "Boss, given your relationship with the Ying people, why don't you ask the Ying troops stationed here if they can help maintain order at the auction venue?"

Chu Xiangqian was about to agree, but then he changed his mind and thought, what if he let the foreign soldiers stationed in Hong Kong fight a fierce battle with those defeated South Vietnamese soldiers?

If the casualties among foreigners are heavy, the Vietnamese who sneak into Hong Kong Island in the future will definitely be severely cracked down by the British water and land police.

Over the next decade or so, there were at least hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing from Vietnam to Hong Kong Island.

Although many Vietnamese people did not settle in Hong Kong Island, they used Hong Kong Island as a transit point to go to Europe, America or other Southeast Asian countries.

But there are also many people who stayed. These people and their descendants do not think that Hong Kong Island belongs to the Celestial Empire.

In addition, a large number of refugees poured into Hong Kong Island, which provided more labor to a certain extent.

But it also brought a lot of public security problems to Hong Kong Island and took jobs from local people. More importantly, it was covering up for the Taiwanese.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian hoped that the British police would strictly guard against the Vietnamese refugees.

Of course, it would also be a good thing to invite some foreign soldiers to maintain order at the auction.

After all, he is a professional soldier. Even if his fighting ability is poor, the weapons in his hands are not weak.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded, "That's a good suggestion. I will talk to the Secretary of State or the people in London about this."

Uncle Hai finally felt relieved, and he and Chu Xiangqian worked together to perfect the auction.

Ten minutes later, when Zhang Tianzhi came back from the phone call, he happened to meet Fei Bo and Lan Gang.

When the three of them walked to the track, they saw Chu Xiangqian waving at them from afar.

Seeing this, Lan Gang couldn't help but smile.

Fei Bo on the side took the opportunity to say, "I said that Master Chu couldn't be so short-sighted. You must have overthinking that."

Lan Gang rolled his eyes after hearing this.

He believed that Chu Xiangqian would not be as stupid as that witch Linda, but if he was "thinking too much", Fei Bo must not be able to say it directly, so the responsibility lies with Linda.

He glanced at Zhang Tianzhi and thought to himself that this fat guy really knew how to behave.

Arriving at the viewing area of ​​the track, Chu Xiangqian took the initiative to hug Lan Gang and said, "Brother Gang, I heard that you have fallen in love with a 19-year-old new female star in the past few months?"

Lan Gang suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Before, his wife Ye Baoying went to Xue Jinglan to complain that Lan Gang was infatuated with a famous female star. Xue Jinglan didn't know what to say.

But he also knew that Ye Baoying wanted to use him to convey Chu Xiangqian's message to warn that woman.

Xue Jinglan thought about it for the whole afternoon, and when Chu Xiangqian came home for dinner in the evening, she mentioned this to him.

But after Chu Xiangqian found out, not only did he not make things difficult for the woman, he also asked He Guanchang to give the woman several supporting roles of varying sizes.

Anyway, this unimportant role will not affect the quality of the movie no matter who plays it.

After that, Ye Baoying didn't go shopping with Xue Jinglan for several days. She must have blamed her best friend for not helping her.

But after Lan Gang found out, he specially treated Chu Xiangqian to a meal to thank him.

He also said at that time that he was really in love with that woman.

But now, less than a year later, he has fallen in love with another newcomer. When Chu Xiangqian pointed it out to him in person, he felt embarrassed.

How much I said I loved that woman, and it hurts so much to be slapped in the face now.

Helplessly punching Chu Xiangqian on the arm, Lan Gang then said with a bitter face, "The most enviable thing about you is that there are so many women at home, but no one makes trouble with you."

Chu Xiangqian laughed and thought secretly in his heart, if you can also fight one against two, or even one against four, and make the wives lose all their pants, then you can also deal with the wives as easily as I do.

Of course, it is also important to be rich, handsome, and willing to spend money on women.

And apart from Feifei, Chu Xiangqian never looks for female stars or top nightclub girls.

This kind of woman who is obsessed with fame and fortune and is extremely utilitarian spends all day thinking about how to marry into a wealthy family. It would be strange if she could have a peaceful family.

Chu Xiangqian greeted Fei Bo a few times, and then said to Lan Gang without further ado, "Don't worry about the mobile team. They will report to you at the Mong Kok Police Station tomorrow.

However, regarding this robbery, I suggest you be careful. It would be best if you can pin the case on the foreigners."

After saying that, he told Lan Gang and Fei Bo the information that Uncle Hai had mentioned before.

When the two heard that this group of people was probably more than a dozen, but forty or fifty deserters who had been defeated in the battlefield in South Vietnam, their faces immediately turned grim.

Nowadays, most uniformed police officers only carry batons when on patrol. Only the sheriff following the car carries a .38 revolver.

As for plainclothes officers, everyone is equipped with a gun, but revolvers may not be enough to fight against gangs.

When faced with a more lethal Black Star or magnesium M1911, the revolver has no advantage at all.

If the other party has an AK or M14 automatic rifle, or even an M60 general-purpose machine gun, you won’t be able to raise your head.

Lan Gang secretly thanked his luck that he had not found that group of people before, and then looked at Chu Xiangqian, wanting to ask him for a solution.

Chu Xiangqian shrugged. "If I were you, I would spend some money to find Brigadier General Dawson. Borrowing a company of soldiers from him would definitely be more useful than the 40 people in the mobile unit.

Besides, the mobile troops can cooperate with you and the garrison. Even if they are cannon fodder, you can give each of them a resettlement allowance of tens of thousands of yuan afterwards.

And if this group of people are really the defeated soldiers of South Vietnam, I will take you to find Ge Bai and Hader, and then go to see the Governor of Hong Kong to protest to the Mexicans.

At that time, it will not be a matter for the police, but a matter for the garrison and the Taiwanese."

After hearing this, Lan Gang, Fei Bo, Zhang Tianzhi and Hai Shu swallowed subconsciously.

Not only because Chu Xiangqian seemed too indifferent and cold-blooded about the lives and deaths of those 40 mercenaries.

Also, this guy's perspective on the issue is completely on a different level from theirs.

He and his men only thought about catching thieves, but Chu Xiangqian was thinking about diplomacy and politics. In his eyes, even the Governor of Hong Kong and the British Army were beings that he could order around at will.

However, considering that Norton's grandfather was the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, and Chu Xiangqian's relationship with the royal family, Brigadier General Dawson was indeed not a high-ranking official in his eyes.

Lan Gang hesitated for only a dozen seconds before deciding to listen to Chu Xiangqian. After all, he only had one life.

Now he has become the Chief Chinese Inspector of Kowloon. He can hook up with all the female celebrities he wants, and the money he earns from fees and business every month is calculated in millions.

Only a fool would work so hard as he did before he came to power.

In the end, even if the case is not solved, the worst that can happen is that you can spend money to smooth things over.

Besides, he wouldn't pay for it all by himself. The previous group of robbers had robbed quite a few gold shops, and they were distributed over a wide area.

All the inspectors in various districts in Kowloon have to pay me.

Otherwise, there’s no telling when a gold shop might be robbed again in their jurisdiction. If that happens, not only will they have a hard time, they won’t have an easy time either.

Lan Gang even set his sights on Fei Bo and Lei Luo.

Although the number of gold shops in Central, Sheung Wan and Admiralty is not as large as that in Nathan Road in Kowloon, the scale of gold shops in several districts in Central is much larger than the small and medium-sized gold shops in Nathan Road.

If we don’t deal with that group of people quickly, there’s no telling when they might come to Hong Kong or even the New Territories to rob.

When that happens, Lei Luo and Fei Bo will have no good time.
