[033] The fortune teller said, "My success is built on the bones of ten thousand."
[033] The fortune teller said, "My success is built on the bones of ten thousand."
"You can't kill me! I'm one of Tianyang's men. If you kill me, Tianyang will never let you get away with it!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Haowen's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly reached out and tightly gripped Tiger Cub's neck.
Hehehe~
Tiger Cub desperately pounded on Lin Haowen's right arm, trying to beg for mercy, but could only utter incomprehensible sounds, his eyes filled with pleading and a longing for life.
Lin Haowen only loosened his grip slightly when Tiger Cub's face turned purple from suffocation and his eyes were almost rolling back.
"Whoosh whoosh~"
The little tiger was breathing desperately.
"Now I'll ask you a question, so keep your voice down. It's getting late, so don't disturb other people's rest. Nod if you understand."
Tiger Cub nodded quickly; he never wanted to experience that near-death feeling again.
"Is the eldest brother of the Tianyang Brothers named Tianyangsheng?"
"Yes, boss."
Tiger Cub's voice was a little hoarse, clearly indicating that his desperate cries for help had damaged his vocal cords.
After confirming that the "Tianyang Brothers" Tiger Cub mentioned were the same "Tianyang Brothers" he knew, Lin Haowen continued, "You said you're a member of the Tianyang Brothers, so you should know where they are now, right?"
"They are on Hong Kong Island right now."
Tiger Cub answered almost instantly.
"People like them coming to Hong Kong Island are definitely going to cause trouble. Tell me, what do they want to do this time?"
Lin Haowen said slowly.
"..."
A flicker of hesitation crossed Tiger Cub's eyes, and then he experienced the feeling of suffocation once again.
"Hehehe~"
Tiger Cub frantically patted Lin Haowen's arm and nodded vigorously. As soon as Lin Haowen let go of his arm, he immediately said, "They're going to rob an armored truck, and I even prepared ten kilograms of C4 explosives for them."
How can I contact them?
A smile appeared on Lin Haowen's face.
"Spare my life, and I'll help you contact them!"
Tiger Cub seemed to see a glimmer of hope and quickly said...
"It seems you haven't figured out your situation yet."
Lin Haowen smiled and shook his head, then knocked Tiger Cub unconscious with a single slap.
More than an hour later, Lin Haowen arrived at the gravel beach he knew best.
"Brother Wen, that kid confessed everything. He's not one of Brother Tianyang's men at all. Someone just came to him and asked him to provide Brother Tianyang with weapons and explosives to help them rob the armored truck from the Asia Development Bank."
However, he didn't know who the person looking for him was, only that it was someone from the police force.
Wang Jianjun walked to Lin Haowen's side and handed him a cell phone as he spoke. "The number that starts with 199 on the phone is Tianyang Brothers' number."
"Clean your hands and feet thoroughly."
Lin Haowen took the phone from Wang Jianjun, smiled, said those words, and then dialed the number 199.
"Nourish life in nature?"
After the call was connected, Lin Haowen got straight to the point.
"You're not a tiger cub."
A cold, indifferent voice came through the receiver.
"You've fallen into a trap. The person who asked you to cooperate is a cop from the police force. He has no intention of sharing the money with you. After you rob the armored truck, what awaits you is a heavy encirclement and all-out crackdown by the Hong Kong Island police."
Lin Haowen said calmly.
"Who are you? Why should I believe you!"
On the other end of the phone, Tian Yangsheng's perpetually icy face revealed an unprecedented expression of shock, not only because the person on the other end had revealed their plan to rob an armored truck, but also because he was able to reveal the background of their partner.
Even Tian Yangsheng himself didn't know that the person who sought to cooperate with him was actually a police officer.
"Would you be interested in seeing a play tomorrow?"
Lin Haowen ignored Tian Yangsheng's words and asked.
What do you want?
After a brief moment of shock, Tian Yangsheng regained his composure.
"Let's talk more after the show tomorrow."
Lin Haowen smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing Lin Haowen's words, Tian Yangsheng remained silent for over a minute before finally saying, "Okay!"
"Wait for my call."
After saying that, Lin Haowen hung up the phone.
"Beep beep beep~"
Hearing the blind voice coming from the receiver, Tian Yangsheng's face grew increasingly gloomy.
"Brother, who called you? Why do you look so pale?"
Tian Yangyi, who was standing to the side, asked curiously.
"The little tiger has fallen..."
Tian Yangsheng repeated what Lin Haowen had just said.
"The other party's origins are unknown; we don't know if they're friend or foe. Perhaps we should just let it go this time?"
A hint of worry flashed in Tian Yangyi's eyes.
"That's a hundred million dollars. With that money, the seven of us siblings can settle down and stop fighting and risking our lives. No matter what, I'm going to take this gamble, and besides..."
Tian Yangsheng slowly shook his head. "If they wanted to deal with us, they wouldn't have bothered to call me specifically."
"Big brother, I'll go with you tomorrow!"
Tian Yangyi's tone was exceptionally firm.
"You know my skills. If I fall, you'll fall too. If I don't call you within two hours of leaving, take your younger siblings and leave Hong Kong Island immediately."
Tian Yangsheng flatly refused.
"Big brother..."
Tian Yangyi wanted to speak, but Tian Yangsheng interrupted him in a low voice: "Ayi, be good!"
"..."
Seeing Tian Yangsheng's resolute expression, Tian Yangyi knew that his elder brother had made up his mind, and could only nod helplessly.
"Don't worry, Yi. We've survived so many life-or-death situations, so nothing will happen this time either."
Tian Yangsheng patted Tian Yangyi on the shoulder and said slowly.
"Big brother, you always say this to me whenever you're about to risk your life alone."
Tian Yangyi sighed softly.
"Big brother, second brother, what are you talking about? Why aren't you asleep so late?"
At this moment, Tian Yangwu, the fifth of the Tian Yang brothers, got up at night and saw Tian Yangsheng and Tian Yangyi still chatting. He asked with a smile.
"It's nothing, I'm going to sleep."
This time, it was Tian Yangyi who spoke up, thus deceiving Tian Yangwu.
Clearly, Tian Yangyi, like Tian Yangsheng, didn't want his younger siblings to worry.
"Ayi, I can only do my job with you here."
A smile appeared on Tian Yangsheng's face.
"Brother, do you know you look ugly when you smile?"
"screw you!"
……
On the other side, on Canton Road, inside a convenience store.
The sixth brother and his wife lay on the bed with 'peaceful' expressions. Not far away was a burning charcoal stove. All the windows and doors of the room had been sealed off.
Shadow stood outside the door for a full hour, making sure that Lao Liu and his wife were definitely dead, and that the police could only find evidence of suicide at the scene, before quietly leaving.
……
The next day, West Kowloon Regional Headquarters, Internal Affairs Office.
Ring ring ring~
Not long after Chen Jun, the police chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, arrived at work, he received a letter.
Upon opening the letter, one finds a cassette tape and a piece of paper with a line of text and a number written on it.
After reading the words written on the paper, Chen Jun's expression changed drastically.
The fortune teller said I would achieve success at the cost of countless lives, but I don't believe it. I think that in this world, life and death are decisions for oneself.
Ten years ago, Han Chen sent several undercover agents into the police force, including Liu Jianming and Lin Guoping from the CIB, and Chen Jun from the Internal Affairs Department...
