Hong Kong variety show: From a lowly 49-year-old to the world's richest man

Chapter 4 Switching the Dragon for the Phoenix

"Hey, this girl didn't chase after me. Looks like she still has feelings for me!"

Chen Fan finished a cigarette at his doorstep but Ao Ming didn't come out to settle accounts with him. He knew that the little plum was 98% ripe and ready to be picked at any time.

After a quick wash, Chen Fan lay in bed pondering how to perfectly cover up what would happen tomorrow night.

Now that the scapegoat has been found, the rest of the show needs to be performed well.

We must not incur too much of Hong Tai's wrath, nor allow ourselves to be criticized. It would be best to gain some small reputation and get past Da Yu's hurdle.

Ao Ming's suggestion was actually quite good.

If we eliminate Daewoo, the one who raised the question, all the troubles will be resolved.

Unfortunately, Chen Fan is only at the 49th grade now. Even if Da Yu goes under, it won't be his turn to take over the Kwun Tong territory. At the very least, he has to establish a solid foundation in the three major cities before he can plan how to send Da Yu to sell salted duck eggs.

Big Head Cheng and Snake Boy Chao are also good-for-nothings.

Once Da Yu is gone, and there's no capable person to promote in the gang, given Jiang Tiansheng's personality, he will definitely transfer someone over from outside.

Chen Fan didn't want to be a stepping stone for someone else.

Before you can become a big boss, the powerful figure you've been betrothed to has already died. This is one of the taboos in the underworld.

Without the powerful leader who could enter the main hall of the gang for meetings, how could anyone climb the ranks without knowing what was going on in the gang?

Completely in the dark, one day they might accidentally become pawns or cannon fodder.

Of course, killing a big shot can't be done too casually; it's one of the few reasons for a powerful figure to start a war.

"Hopefully those thugs will step up their game; that jewelry store has a lot of stock."

As Chen Fan pondered, his thoughts drifted to the notorious bandits he had mentioned to Huang Bingyao.

Since unlocking the system, he has drawn prizes no less than a thousand times. There are only five rewards that are worthy of being mentioned: Master-level Xingyi Quan, advanced gambling skills, a body of steel, a 30-cubic-meter personal storage space, and proficiency in firearms.

The portable storage space allows for remote retrieval of items, as long as they are within sight, with a maximum distance of twenty meters.

As long as those thugs die on the street after robbing, Chen Fan is confident he can take the stolen goods.

A fleeting night.

Boom boom boom!

"Who is it? Can't we get some rest this early in the morning?"

Chen Fan was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"I'm going to keep an eye on you today."

As soon as the door opened, Ao Ming, without any hesitation, pushed Chen Fan aside and went inside.

"And I'm hungry, hurry up and make me breakfast!"

"You really know how to make things difficult for people so early in the morning."

Are you going to do it or not?

Ao Ming stared intently at Chen Fan.

"Wait."

Chen Fan yawned and went into the kitchen to start cooking skillfully.

He had previously drawn an advanced culinary skill. Although his culinary skills were not up to the level of a state banquet, he had no problem handling a girl like Ao Ming who lacked family care.

Before long, two bowls of wonton noodles were placed in front of Ao Ming.

"You just said you wanted to be with me, so did you decide to switch from being an assassin to a delinquent?"

Ao Ming paused, looked up and said, "If you're not afraid of being shot dead by my father, I might try changing careers."

"Maybe I can beat your dad?"

If Chen Fan remembered correctly, Ao Ming's father, Ao Tian, ​​trained her to become an assassin because he hoped that Ao Ming would acquire the ability to protect herself.

The profession of assassin is dangerous enough and easy to make enemies. Ao Tian also holds the title of the world's number one assassin. Whether it is his fellow assassins or the friends and family of the targets he killed, they could all become his enemies.

The saying "misfortune should not extend to family members" can only fool newcomers. The old hand believes in the principle of "either don't do it, or do it thoroughly."

Ao Ming looked directly into Chen Fan's eyes. "Don't think you can beat my dad just because you can snatch a gun from me. He's much stronger than me."

"Whether it works or not isn't up to you to decide; we'll only know after we try."

"You should get through today first." Ao Ming paused, then added, "My promise from last night still stands. Eighty-eight thousand, and I'll help you take down your older brother."

"There's no need for that. If you want to kill him, I'll plan everything myself. Letting him die like this will only benefit others."

"Suit yourself, my promise remains valid...until he dies."

Chen Fan smiled and said nothing more.

Ao Ming's attitude and behavior completely confirmed that she had fallen for him.

Chen Fan's efforts over the past year have not been in vain; he only needs the final stamp to complete the collection!

It's a pity he's in a hurry later, otherwise he really wanted to stamp it.

10:00 AM.

The two appeared on the streets of Kowloon City.

Chen Fan had a clear goal. He led Ao Ming straight to the Western restaurant on the second floor of the building opposite the Yangtze River Industrial Building and found a window seat.

This location is only seventeen or eighteen meters away from the exit of the building across the street, offering an unobstructed view. Most importantly, the restaurant's windows can be opened!

"Why did you bring me here?"

Ao Ming was very puzzled.

Didn't we say we were going to chop someone up today?

At a time like this, he still has the mind to waste time bringing her to a Western restaurant, isn't he afraid of messing things up...?

Chen Fan explained with a smile, "The best time for gangsters to operate is at night. It's still early, so let's make a date first without delaying things."

"Alright."

Ao Ming did not resist.

Not long after ordering, the thugs came into Chen Fan's view.

In a room on the third floor, Huang Bingyao used binoculars to watch for any movement on the street.

When he saw four men wearing sunglasses enter the Cheung Kong Industrial Building, he immediately realized that these guys might be his prey, and quickly told the police officers lying in ambush around the area to get ready.

Although now was a good opportunity to make a move, he dared not gamble that these guys were definitely ruthless bandits. Chen Fan had not given him a photo of the target, and it would be bad if it was just a smokescreen put out by the bandits.

Even if we assume these people are indeed notorious criminals, they haven't committed any crimes yet. At most, we could charge them with illegal possession of firearms, which would be of very limited merit.

Less than fifteen minutes after the four thugs went upstairs, Huang Bingyao received a message from headquarters saying that the jewelry company had been robbed.

"Listen up, everyone! The target is the four men who just went upstairs. Group A, take care of the driver and other accomplices downstairs. Group C, once the target comes out, immediately block their retreat and seal off the building. Group B, take care of those thugs as quickly as possible."

Huang Bingyao repeated the instructions three times over the walkie-talkie.

boom!

A minute later, a gunshot rang out from the street.

This sound seemed to have flipped some incredible switch, and gunshots rang out continuously.

"Boss!"

The four ruthless gangsters, having just left the building with their bounty, saw their leader riddled with bullets and another accomplice pinned to the ground by police officers.

"You are surrounded. Don't put up a futile resistance, surrender!"

An inspector stood behind a riot shield and loudly urged the insurgent to surrender.

To ensure the success of the operation, Huang Bingyao applied for and received riot shields and bulletproof vests.

There's nothing we can do; Chen Fan is just too unpredictable.

Having already killed three of his superiors, Huang Bingyao dared not gamble that the weapons configuration of these ruthless bandits was exactly as Chen Fan had described.

"Go to hell!"

The ruthless bandit in brown clothes raised his hand and fired a shot.

The shot only produced a few sparks when it hit the riot shield.

The police officers involved in the manhunt instinctively pulled the trigger, and in the blink of an eye, the four ruthless criminals were riddled with bullets.

The travel bag containing the stolen goods was thrown into the air.

Chen Fan, who had been waiting for a long time, seized the opportunity to switch the travel bag with the real one.

At this moment, all the police officers' attention was on the ruthless criminals, and no one noticed that the stolen goods had already been switched.
