Qingmu was chatting with the Hong family and his son when he received the call from Bishenghua.
"The coal boss and I were kidnapped by someone named Jiang. They asked you to take 20 million to ransom us at the old power plant in the north of the city."
Bishenghua only left this sentence, and then hung up the phone.
Aoki was shocked at first, but after hearing that she was with Crow, he felt relieved.
Hong Kui asked him what happened, and Qingmu said: "A friend of mine was kidnapped, and I was asked to redeem him with 20 million."
Hong Kui said: "Twenty million in cash is not easy to prepare right now."
Aoki said: "There is no need to prepare. Money is just a cover. Their target is me. I have to go and meet them and fight for it."
Hong Kui said, "I'll go with you."
Aoki said: "It may be more dangerous."
Hong Kui said: "It's never more dangerous than a gang fight in New York."
Aoki said: "It doesn't matter if rich people go crazy, they want my life."
Hong Kyu laughed and said, "I bet they have no chance."
Aoki no longer objected. I originally thought he would bring a group of men with him, but he didn't expect Hong Kui to drive a car and hit the road with Qingmu without taking anyone with him.
Not long after their car drove out, Huang Ziqiang called and asked where Aoki was now. Aoki said he was rushing to the old power plant in the north of the city. Huang Ziqiang was startled and immediately warned him not to go, saying that Jiang Deguan had set an ambush there.
Qingmu didn't expect that Huang Ziqiang would inform him and asked him how he knew. Huang Ziqiang said that he had been sending people to keep an eye on Jiang Deguan, so he got the news. Qingmu asked him if he had seen Bishenghua. Huang Ziqiang said that it was because he saw Bishenghua being taken to the old power plant in the north of the city that he knew there was an ambush there.
After hearing what Huang Ziqiang said, Qingmu wanted to go even more and said, "Tell me everything you know. I must save him."
Huang Ziqiang said: "The old power plant is an abandoned factory. The terrain inside is very complicated and it is difficult to defend at night. Jiang Deguan was very ruthless and may have hired snipers."
Hong Kui smiled and said to Qingmu while driving: "What's the big grudge between this man and you? He even hired a sniper, which is rare in the United States. It seems that you are an extremely dangerous guy in their eyes. I can’t deal with you without a sniper.”
Aoki also felt that it was a bit excessive. This was China, and it was not easy to get a homemade shotgun. There were actually snipers. It seemed that Jiang Deguan had really spent a lot of money.
He laughed: "The gang equipment in Hollywood blockbusters is no worse than that of the army."
Hong Kui said: "That's a movie. How can there be gangs like that in reality? Real gang bosses smoke cigars, drink coffee, and wear crisp suits. They either do charity or play golf every day, or they simply hide in In the church, I confessed this and that to God. I had a gun and hid it better than anyone else. The bodyguards around me were all former soldiers, and none of them came from a mixed background."
Aoki asked: "What about those people on the streets of Chicago who have shaved heads, bare breasts, and tattoos, who curse people, carry machetes in their hands, and are ready to chop people?"
"That's silly!"
Hong Kui laughed loudly after saying this, as if they had just returned from a cross talk, completely unaware of the danger ahead. Aoki couldn't help but look at Hong Kui with admiration.
After following the navigation and arriving near the old power plant, Hong Kui found a less noticeable place to park the car. Qingmu contacted Huang Ziqiang, and the two sides soon met.
Huang Ziqiang was shocked when he saw Hong Kui and Qing Mu together, and secretly thought that he had made the right bet this time.
He told Qingmu that Jiang Deguan brought about a dozen people inside, and later about five or six people escorted Lifespan in. He didn't know whether there was an ambush outside.
"Are you sure Jiang Deguan is inside?"
"Sure."
"There is a bald man under Jiang Deguan, is he there?"
"Tell me Hou Biao, my men said they didn't see him."
Qingmu nodded and discussed with Hong Kui what to do next. He wasn't afraid of any number of people inside, but he couldn't help but be wary of snipers. No matter how powerful he is, he can't hypnotize everyone within a few kilometers, and bullets fired from sniper rifles have no consciousness and cannot dream.
At this time, you can see the sophistication of the Chinese gang bosses in North America. Hong Kui opened the satellite map on his mobile phone and carefully examined the terrain and surrounding environment of the old power plant bit by bit. Then he took out a pen and paper from the car, drew a simple map, and marked possible sniper points one by one.
After drawing the map, he asked Qingmu and Huang Ziqiang to get into his car and drove the car in a circle around the abandoned old factory building of the old power plant. He started and stopped, carefully checking the gap between the marked points on the map and the actual points. Passing a place reminds Aoki that there may be a sniper hiding somewhere.
Aoki asked him: "I just said that gang bosses are either big golfers or repenting in church. How do you understand this?"
Hong Kui said: "I was not so lucky because I killed someone in a mental hospital. In order to cleanse the stain on my body, my father sent me to the military academy and later served in the Navy Reserve for two years."
After completing a circle, Hong Kui asked Huang Ziqiang: "How many people do you have?"
Huang Ziqiang said: "We have a lot of manpower, but if we really want to do it, there are not many who can play with guns."
Hong Kui said: "We don't have enough manpower. If we check all the points, we won't be able to finish it until dawn. I took a look and found that based on the central axis of the gate, there are only four suitable points on the left. Check those four points. , we can climb in through the left courtyard wall. As long as we pay attention to concealment, the probability of being discovered by the snipers on the right is low."
Aoki said: "You don't need to take risks with me."
Hong Kui said: "I guess he only has one sniper, and the rest have a few pistols at most, so they are not considered dangerous."
He pointed to the drawing and said to Huang Ziqiang, "Take people to the right to investigate, focusing on here, here and here. Remember, if you find a sniper, kill it if you can. If you can't, just harass."
Huang Ziqiang explained clearly and took the map.
Qingmu and Hong Kui walked toward the buildings on the left. Two people entered the first building together. There were no snipers inside, but there were a few men in black with weapons. At a glance, it was clear that Jiang Deguan must have arranged for them to be here.
This time Aoki finally saw Hong Kui's ability and ruthlessness. He is like a lion lying in ambush in the darkness, walking without even a trace of wind, but once he gets close to his prey, his movements are thunderous and unstoppable. He easily subdued the four people inside, three of whom died, leaving only one alive.
Hong Kui asked him only one question: "Where is the sniper?"
As soon as the man said he didn't know, Hong Kui broke his neck.
Aoki asked him why he didn't ask more questions. He said that actually asking that question was redundant. How could the sniper's location be casually known to one of his men who was on the loose?
Aoki somewhat admired his decisiveness. This non-sloppy style suited his temperament very well.
Next, they split up and ran to the three buildings behind, and soon met at the fourth building. There was nothing in the first two buildings, but in the fourth building, they unexpectedly found that several men in black there were dead.
