Chapter 57 Success
"Boss, your Xingyi Quan must be pretty strong too, right?"
Li Long had not forgotten the oppressive feeling that Chen Fan's Three-Body Stance had given him.
"It's alright. I started by practicing Xingyi, but no one has ever been able to force me to use it."
During this period, he only used it twice, and each time he only unleashed a half-step Crushing Fist before stopping.
Chen Fan stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, looking as if invincibility was a lonely thing.
Although Li Long didn't manage to get him to use his full strength, he still had a certain level of skill. His strength was about the same as Brother Jiaqian's, A Wu, but he didn't have A Wu's willingness to do anything for money.
Considering Li Long's character in the film, who would rather die in the ring than admit defeat, Chen Fan wasn't worried that Li Long would falter in the boxing match a month later.
Li Long and Li Feng felt a sense of defeat; the two siblings had previously thought they were already geniuses enough.
It now seems that they simply hadn't yet encountered a true genius.
They have been practicing martial arts since they were young, but they have only mastered two or three skills, none of which can be considered highly proficient.
In contrast, Chen Fan was proficient in Xingyi Quan, a martial art at least at the highest level, and had also mastered hard qigong to the point where qi and strength were combined in his muscles and bones. His arms were as hard as steel, as if he had practiced some kind of skill. In addition to these, he could also skillfully perform Hung Kuen.
Is this even human?
Even if you started training from the womb, you wouldn't become this monstrous.
Around noon, Ahua, accompanied by seven or eight of his underlings, found Chen Fan.
Most of these younger men were carrying skateboards or roller skates.
"Brother Fan, should we have them demonstrate their skills?"
"No."
Chen Fan wasn't taking them to any competition; bumping into Luo Maosen didn't require any special skills at all.
As long as you can hit the target accurately, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to play.
After having Feiji and Dongguanzi organize the other underlings for training, Chen Fan led Ahua, Cao Dahua, and others off.
Half an hour later.
Chen Fan and his group arrived near the Kwai Chung No. 4 Container Terminal.
"Ahua, you take them around here and let them play as they please. Wait for my instructions before we move."
Ahua took the walkie-talkie from Chen Fan and led his group of skateboarders and rollerbladers to an open space to play.
The henchmen, playing themselves, quickly got into character.
Cao Dahua looked at this scene with confusion. "Brother Fan, the important thing you mentioned is just bringing them here to have fun?"
"Playing?" Chen Fan chuckled. "It's just staking out."
"Staking out?"
"Uncle Da, let's go. I'll take you to see who we've been waiting for. Don't get excited when you see the target, so as not to alert them."
"oh."
Cao Dahua followed closely behind Chen Fan, heading towards a small warehouse not far away.
As they passed a silver-gray Mercedes, Chen Fan, in front of Cao Dahua, slipped a listening device into the gap in the rear window of the vehicle.
To make the act complete, Cao Dahua needed to contact Huang Bingyao to close the net, making sure the other party saw clearly what he had done, thus increasing the success rate of the next fraud operation.
With Cao Dahua as a tool, Chen Fan didn't want to personally contact Huang Bingyao if he needed information about someone.
After all, he wasn't planning to go back to the police force, so having Tsao Ta-hua relay the message would reduce trouble when things were cut off in the future.
After circling around to the back of the warehouse, Chen Fan found a vantage point from which he could see inside.
This perspective was discovered by Meng Bo while monitoring Luo Maosen; it would be difficult to detect as long as he didn't make a fuss.
After peering into the warehouse for a while, Cao Dahua finally understood what they were doing. He caught a fleeting glimpse of Luo Maosen's face.
Chen Fan's gaze did not fall on Luo Maosen, but was fixed on the actions of the other party's henchman counting and packing money.
If given the chance, he wouldn't mind sneaking in and getting the money first.
Cao Dahua also noticed the scene of filling the container with money. Realizing something, he held his breath and made a phone call gesture to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan shook his head and refused without even thinking.
Now, contacting Wong Bing Yiu won't lead to him being caught red-handed, and even suing Lo Mao Sen won't go through; it's just a case of alerting the enemy.
Inside the warehouse.
"Ah Hui, tell the brothers to be on high alert. I have a feeling tonight's deal might not go too smoothly."
Luo Maosen rubbed his forehead and gave instructions to his trusted subordinates. The closer it got to the transaction time, the more uneasy he became.
I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen.
"Brother, how about we cancel the deal? I have a bad feeling about this too."
A lingering cloud of worry appeared on Ahui's brow.
Ever since their foreign boss went bankrupt, they've been living on tenterhooks, spending the last few days in a state of constant anxiety.
"No, it can't be cancelled."
Luo Maosen thought for a moment, a fierce glint appearing in his eyes, and ordered, "Have the brothers take all their weapons. As long as we have enough firepower, whether we encounter a double-cross or run into the police, we still have a chance to escape."
Seeing Luo Maosen's persistence, Ahui didn't say anything more and called over a few of his underlings to open the containers on the first floor of the warehouse.
Before long, four large wooden crates were brought out.
The box was pried open, revealing a layer of food cans on top. After removing the cans, a batch of brand-new firearms was exposed, just enough to arm a dozen or so of Luo Maosen's men.
Seeing the scene of everyone holding a rifle, Cao Dahua's face instantly turned pale. These are drug dealers.
Calling them ruthless bandits wouldn't be an exaggeration!
Chen Fan looked enlightened; this intelligence basically matched Meng Bo's report.
Their raid on the foreigner's hideout made Luo Maosen feel an unprecedented sense of crisis. In the past few days, Luo Maosen made a tough decision and used the remaining goods to exchange for this batch of weapons.
However, the moment these people were distributing weapons also seemed to be a good opportunity.
Thinking of this, he gestured for Cao Dahua to be quiet and tiptoed inside.
Another half hour passed.
Luo Maosen and his men were ready to set off.
Having already completed the switch, Chen Fan led Cao Dahua to a residential building opposite the small warehouse.
Just as Luo Maosen and the others walked out of the warehouse, five or six young men on skateboards or roller skates came over, playing and frolicking.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!"
"..."
Several young men shouted for Luo Maosen and the others to get out of the way.
Just as they were about to collide, Ah Hui's heart tightened, and he quickly shielded Luo Maosen behind him, saying, "Big brother, be careful."
"Don't be nervous, they're just kids."
Luo Maosen didn't take it seriously.
After watching the youths disappear at the street corner, he immediately told his men to get into the car.
Inside a residential house.
"Alright, the second plan is ready. Uncle Da, you can contact the big boss now."
Chen Fan solemnly gave instructions to Cao Dahua.
"Huh?" Cao Dahua asked, somewhat confused, "But their transaction location..."
"We'll find out the location later, but don't forget how powerful their firepower is."
"oh oh."
Cao Dahua belatedly took out his mobile phone to contact Huang Bingyao.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan took advantage of this moment to have Ahua initiate the next step of the plan, arranging for someone to deliberately cause a car accident on Luo Maosen's route.
After Cao Dahua finished contacting Huang Bingyao, Chen Fan pulled him into Luo Maosen's hideout.
There were only two or three scoundrels left behind, and they were extremely easy to deal with.
The rest is the looting phase. Even though we already know there might not be much good stuff, every little bit helps.
After a thorough looting, Chen Fan managed to gather HK$500,000 to HK$600,000, US$70,000 to US$80,000, and a batch of recently discarded "second-hand" firearms.
Chen Fan told Ahua to pack up all the spoils and take them back, then led Cao Dahua toward the Fucheng Canal Factory.
