Started from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 172 [Another Danger]

In the previous life, the Huang Tingfang family, which controlled Sun Hung Kai Properties, was one of the top ten potential chaebols in Hong Kong. In fact, this did not include the Huang family's wealth in Southeast Asia. It is conceivable how terrifying power the Huang Tingfang family possessed.

As for Chen Xingzhou, he acquired a piece of land with a large area but a bad geographical location. However, Chen Xingzhou was very optimistic about the development prospects of this place. This piece of land is located in the Tsim Sha Tsui East area.

There is no plan for land reclamation in the Tsim Sha Tsui East area at present, and the Tsim Sha Tsui area is not yet complete. It is unknown when it will be the turn of Tsim Sha Tsui East.

Li Wendi couldn't understand why Chen Xingzhou was so optimistic about this piece of land. Was there some inside information?
But he hadn't heard anything. Perhaps Chen Xingzhou's think tank had analyzed the development of the situation and wanted to make arrangements in advance.

The auction lasted for three hours and a total of 17 pieces of government land were auctioned off, which were won by a small number of real estate companies. British and Chinese companies accounted for a similar proportion, but the momentum of Chinese companies began to make British companies somewhat nervous.

In the evening, Li Wendi worked overtime until late and returned to the Repulse Bay Villa to rest under the escort of bodyguards. When passing the Repulse Bay Road, there were dense forests on both sides, and the environment and atmosphere exuded a sense of horror.

Li Wendi closed his eyes and rested in the back seat, while reviewing today's events and summarizing the gains and losses.

Suddenly, the car braked its rear wheels slamming, causing Li Wendi in the back seat to fall forward out of habit, hitting his forehead against the leather seat, causing some pain.

"Boss, there's a white van up ahead, and it looks like it's being repaired." The bodyguard in the passenger seat turned around and reported to Li Wendi, as if asking what to do.

Hearing this, a bad guess popped up in Li Wendi's mind. Hong Kong movies in his previous life would all have such kidnapping scenes.

"No, don't get out of the car, just go around it." Li Wendi frowned and ordered. Even if he was reported as a rich and unkind person afterwards, he was unwilling to take the risk. This was a matter of life and death and he could not be careless.

"Yes! Go around quickly." The bodyguard in the passenger seat gave orders to the driver. He seemed to understand Li Wendi's concerns.

When the driver was about to speed through, a woman appeared on the road, waving her hands and shouting, "Stop, our car has broken down, can you help us?"

"Step back! Don't go back to Repulse Bay Villa, go straight back to Central." Li Wendi said solemnly, holding onto the chair.

"Hurry up and follow the boss's orders."

"Yes!" The driver took action immediately.

The car emitted black smoke and began to reverse rapidly, quickly moving away from the woman who was calling for help.

In the dark forest on the left, several men were hiding, always keeping an eye on the situation on the road.

When they found that Li Wendi's vehicle was trying to escape, someone immediately raised his automatic rifle and aimed and shot at the tires of Li Wendi's vehicle.

Bang bang bang! !

Fire came out of the muzzle of the rifle and shot towards the car in the dark night. Fortunately, the driver had strong driving skills and managed to dodge the sudden burst of fire. The bullets hit the trees and concrete road on the side.

Hearing the sound, Li Wendi was of course certain that it was a hot weapon. Once it hit the car, even if it didn't kill anyone, it might hit the car's fuel tank and cause an explosion, and that would be the end of it.

"Hurry up, hurry up!! Stay away from Repulse Bay Road, we want to go to Central." Li Wendi was a little irrational.

"What are you doing?" the leading gangster grabbed the rifle and asked sternly.

"Li Wendi was about to run away, so of course I wanted to shoot him to make him stay."

"You're exposing yourself in advance. What if you hit the fuel tank? If you kill Li Wendi, we'll have no money left."

"If I don't shoot, Li Wendi may not stay." Another person came out to mediate, "Go after Li Wendi first, he's going off-tune."

"Drive after him immediately."

Seeing that the criminals stopped shooting, Li Wendi's fear disappeared for the most part, but he did not dare to let his guard down and still urged the driver to get to Central as quickly as possible.

Central is an economic center, and even at night, the public security there is the safest in Hong Kong.

Moreover, there are many elites working overtime in Central, and there are also many police patrols. As long as Li Wendi asks for help, he can escape the crisis immediately.

Unfortunately, the bandits were good drivers and although they were several hundred meters away from Li Wendi, it was only a matter of time before they caught up.

The gangster on the other side leaned half of his body out of the car window, aimed his rifle at the vehicle in front and started firing a burst of shots, causing black smoke to come out of the trunk, as if it was about to explode.

Fortunately, there were many vehicles on the road that needed to pass through Repulse Bay Road. Seeing this situation, the driver panicked and swerved the steering wheel.

Suddenly, many cars appeared on the road in a disorderly manner, blocking the bandits' way.

Li Wendi, who was in the car, accidentally hit his forehead against the handlebar, leaving a small cut. Blood oozed out and a pain immediately spread throughout his head.

"Boss, the car behind us didn't catch up. There must be an accident that hindered them." The bodyguard analyzed.

Li Wendi covered his forehead and gritted his teeth and said, "Drive the car to the police headquarters. I want to call the police myself."

The bodyguard was an experienced veteran. He immediately noticed that Li Wendi was injured and asked, "Boss, what if we go to the hospital for treatment first and then go to the police station?"

"No need, my injury is not a problem. Let's ensure our safety first." Li Wendi took a breath of cold air. His head was split open and it really hurt.

The bodyguard had no choice but to follow Li Wendi's orders.

Soon, the car entered the brightly lit Central area, and many people noticed the smoking car.

"Sir, please open the door. We are here to report a case. Someone has been chasing us on Repulse Bay Road. The criminals have a large number of automatic weapons and our car is riddled with bullet holes." The driver shouted loudly.

When the police saw this situation, they were shocked and immediately walked out, opened the gate, and let Li Wendi and others in.

The police chief Xie Jin was on duty tonight. He was a little surprised when he saw Li Wendi in the office area.

"Mr. Li, were you attacked by thugs armed with automatic weapons?" Xie Jin asked in a businesslike manner.

"Yes, thank you, Chief Inspector! If you don't believe me, you can send police immediately to Repulse Bay Road to investigate." After ten minutes of calming down, Li Wendi had regained some of his sanity.

"Mr. Li, our police will investigate this matter thoroughly, but this is just a routine inquiry and you need to answer my questions in detail." Xie Jin said with a straight face.

"Okay, Chief Xie, just ask any questions you ask. I will definitely cooperate with you police officers." Li Wendi said somewhat unconvinced.

After nearly 40 minutes of questioning, Xie Jin had a basic grasp of the situation. However, it was late at night and there was no way to mobilize police force to investigate. The other party was a thug with a gun, so Xie Jin still gritted his teeth and called his boss to report the matter.
