Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Inspector Du, is that right? I'm Luo Bao, and I have something to tell you!" the white-haired old man said, and came down from the stairs leaning on a cane.

"Father, you are not in good health, how can you walk around easily?" He Jiali was very concerned, and stepped forward to help the old man.

"I'm fine. I have to ask about your brother."

Du Yongxiao stood where he was, until the old man walked in front of him, then bowed slightly: "Hi, sir."

Luo Bao nodded and pointed to the sofa: "Please sit down!" Then he ordered the old butler, "Serve coffee."

Both sides sat down.

Luo Bao went straight to the point: "That's right, my eldest son Anthony was indeed kidnapped!"

Du Yongxiao didn't speak, but looked at He Jiali.

Luo Bao said: "What she said just now was also for her elder brother's sake. The kidnappers called and extorted five million from us, and said that if we called the police, we would tear up our tickets. She was forced to say those things to you."

Du Yongxiao nodded: "It's understandable." Then he said to He Jiali: "It's rare for the young lady to be devoted to your elder brother."

Hejiali snorted coldly.

Luo Bao said: "Now let me ask you, Inspector Du, how did you get the news that something happened to Anthony?"

Du Yongxiao didn't hide anything, so he told what Luo Sihai had heard.

Luo Bao looked surprised: "There is such a thing?"

Du Yongxiao said: "This is called the unpredictable world. Who knew that I could track down the fraudster and get such important news--the question is, Sir, what are you going to do now? Are you going to join forces with our police, or continue to wait and see? Pay money to redeem people?"

Robo was silent.

In terms of the strength of his family, not to mention being prominent in Macau, even in Hong Kong, he is well-known. If it weren't for this kind of thing, a small detective like Du Yongxiao would not be qualified to sit on an equal footing with him and talk for so long over coffee.

"To tell you the truth, if I call the police, it will not be you who are dispatched, but your highest officials."

"Understood!" Du Yongxiao said, "But that way it's easy to scare the snake away."

Luo Bao nodded: "I'm a mouse-thrower!"

"It's not too late. If Sir, you trust me, you can hand over the case to me." Du Yongxiao volunteered, "I'm confident that I can rescue the young master."

"It's just you?" He Jiali was very dissatisfied with Du Yongxiao's arrogance, "What can you do as a Chinese inspector?"

Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "I, Inspector Hua, can't do much, but I know where the gangsters are located, and I know that your elder brother Anthony is also there!"

"What?" Hejiali was surprised.

Sir Robb was also taken aback, "Do you know where they are hiding?"

Du Yongxiao looked at Luo Bao: "Believe it or not!"

Robo pondered.

But He Jiali said: "Unfortunately, it's already too late!"

Du Yongxiao was taken aback, and was about to speak when he heard an arrogant voice from outside: "Why don't you open the door to welcome the guests?"

Luo Bao was startled.

He Jiali said: "The kidnappers are here!"

The old housekeeper said: "I have already prepared five million yuan, sir, look—"

"Go out and have a look first!"

...

Luo Bao and others walked outside.

Du Yongxiao also followed behind.

The door of the villa opened, and a man wearing sunglasses came in from the outside. He was wearing a windbreaker and had a sturdy figure.

"Hey, is the money ready?" The man in sunglasses asked Luo Bao arrogantly, ignoring the bodyguards pouring out of him.

Luo Bao stepped forward with a cane: "Ready, where is my son?"

"Your son is safe!" The man in sunglasses glanced at the bodyguards, "There are a lot of people, so welcome me?"

He Jiali took a step forward, "If you're smart, let my brother go!"

The man in sunglasses laughed: "Let's go, of course I'll let it go, wait until I get the money!"

As he spoke, he opened the windbreaker abruptly, but saw a bunch of bombs strapped to his body.

Robo was taken aback.

Hejiali was also shocked.

The bodyguards were also taken aback.

"What, you think I dare to come without preparation? You know, if I don't get the money, let alone your son, even you will be buried with me!"

"Don't hurt my son!" Luo Bao was in a hurry, and hurriedly told the housekeeper, "Give him the money!"

"Father—" Hejiali said anxiously.

"Don't talk, it's important to save your brother!" Luo Bao told his daughter to shut up, and said to the man in sunglasses, "Five million, I can afford it!"

The old butler took out the money, there were two boxes in total, and put them next to the man in sunglasses.

The man in the sunglasses looked at the box, "Five million is a lot, and it's heavy, you think highly of me too!"

"What's the meaning?"

"It means I've changed my mind. I want 10 million now! And not cash, but bearer promissory notes!"

Robo froze.

He Jiali said: "How can you go back on your word?"

"Why not?" The man in sunglasses took off his sunglasses, revealing the centipede scar on his left eye, with a ferocious face: "The young master is in my hands, I can do whatever I want, you bite me?"

"you--"

"If you don't want to die together, hurry up and prepare the money!" The man in the sunglasses put on his sunglasses again, "I don't have much time, I only give you ten minutes!" As he said this, the man in the sunglasses activated the bomb device on his body, which showed ten minutes and red numbers Start countdown beating.

"This is a madman!"

Luo Bao and the others were completely shocked, and even the bodyguards were shocked. They had never met such a ruthless person, who even tied a bomb all over and wanted to die together.

"Hurry up and prepare the check!" Luo Bao ordered.

"Father---"

"Go!" Luo Bao said sternly.

He Jiali stomped her feet and had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the villa.

Luo Bao leaned on his crutches and said to the man in sunglasses, "You are just asking for money, you don't need to work so hard! After you get the money, you can just leave. Don't worry, I won't call the police. I just hope my son comes back safely!"

"Didn't call the police?" The man in sunglasses grinned, showing his white teeth, "Then who is this SIR?"

The man in sunglasses pointed at Du Yongxiao.

Luo Bao was surprised, "He is——"

Du Yongxiao stepped forward: "I am the inspector of West Kowloon, Du Yongxiao!"

The man in sunglasses laughed loudly: "How dare you! The detective from Hong Kong went to Macau to investigate the case! Sir Luo Bao, you are playing wild!"

"I didn't, he found it by himself!" Luo Bao hurriedly explained.

The man in sunglasses sneered: "Do you think I believe it?"

Luo Bao was tongue-tied, not knowing how to explain.

Du Yongxiao said: "Friend, can you listen to me?"

"Say it!" The man in sunglasses flashed his bomb, not paying attention to Du Yongxiao at all.

Du Yongxiao took another step forward, only three meters away from the man in sunglasses: "It is true that Sir Luo Bao did not call the police, and I did find it myself! In addition——"

Du Yongxiao continued to step forward.

"Stop, don't move!" The man in sunglasses yelled to stop, "If you dare to take another step forward, I will die with you!"

Du Yongxiao smiled, "Sorry, I'm afraid of death! But—"

Stepping forward, "You seem to be more afraid of death!"
