Chapter 178 Li Rong: Cut an ear first as a warning
Brother Kun is the leader of these five robbers. He is not tall, thin and dark, with a cruel face. The other four look the same.
The five of them killed a powerful young man in South Vietnam and were wanted nationwide. They could no longer stay in South Vietnam. They heard that Hong Kong was full of gold and rich people, so they sneaked here.
But after arriving, they were very disappointed. There was no money to be picked up on the ground in Hong Kong Island. No one wanted to hire illegal immigrants like them to work, and they could not earn much money even if they worked very hard.
It was just a coincidence that the five of them pooled some money and went to a bar to broaden their horizons, and ran into Bai Yiqing and his friends who were bragging about having tens of millions in assets at home, and that these assets would all be his in the future.
The five people were very excited after hearing this, and then they followed Bai Yiqing. They found out that the Bai family was indeed rich and that he was old man Bai's beloved grandson, so they planned a kidnapping and planned to go abroad to live a carefree life after getting 50 million.
As for Abao, after the matter is accomplished, let's leave his body intact, which will be considered as the friendship between us fellow townsmen.
However, they would never have thought that Abao had changed his mind and was the King of Hell who came to take their lives.
"Are you sure?"
Brother Kun asked with a sullen face.
"I'm absolutely certain. I bribed someone working for the Bai family. Old Bai called Inspector Zhong and said he'd give him 10 million if Bai Yiqing was rescued. Brother Kun, this old man is a piece of shit."
Li Rong added fuel to the fire.
"The old man doesn't want to live anymore. Let's teach him a lesson."
The other four were furious and clamored to teach the old man a lesson.
"Brother Kun, Bai Yiqing is the most precious thing to Old Man Bai. Cut off one of this kid's ears and I'll give it to Old Man Bai. Let's see if he dares to disobey."
Li Rong offered advice very attentively.
Brother Kun, who had little experience in kidnapping for the first time, smiled and praised: "Abao, your idea is good. Let's do it."
Abao is a smart kid, and he is a little reluctant to kill him.
Bai Yiqing was right next to them, tied up and gagged, but his ears were not blocked and he could hear everything clearly.
“Wuwuwu…”
Bai Yiqing shouted excitedly, tears of fear streaming down his face. He didn't want to have his ears cut off, and he didn't want to die even more.
"Kid, if you want to blame someone, blame your old man for not listening. He actually dared to call the police. Let me lend you an ear."
As soon as the robber finished speaking, he cut off his ear neatly.
Bai Yiqing fainted from the pain, with blood gushing from his left ear. The robbers simply gave him some treatment and left him alone.
Li Rong took a piece of newspaper, wrapped his bloody ear, and went down the mountain.
He used a disguise card to change into the appearance of an ordinary passerby and threw the severed ear in front of the Bai family's door.
Then he found a phone booth on the side of the road and called the Bai family.
The old man answered the phone.
A strange, creepy laugh came from the microphone, followed by a sinister voice: "Go to the door and check your precious grandson's ears. If he dares to disobey again, he will be beaten with a hand."
"My family can't come up with 50 million. I need to sell some assets to raise the money. Can you give me a few more days? Hello..."
Before the old man finished speaking, the other end of the phone hung up.
"Master, I found this at the door."
The servant handed him a ball of blood-red newspaper. The old man opened it, revealing a broken ear. His eyes went dark. There was a black mole on the broken ear. It was definitely Yiqing.
The Bai family was in chaos, especially Bai's mother, who cried as if her son had died.
The old man pressed his solar plexus hard. He didn't bother with these useless people. He called the bank directly to see if he could raise 50 million.
This gang of robbers is more brutal than he thought. He has to collect 50 million quickly, otherwise he will be in danger.
Old man Bai has been calling to borrow money all day. There is only more than 7 million in cash at home. The loan procedures at the bank are not that fast, and borrowing from friends is even more impossible.
He has no friends in Hong Kong Island at all. He knows a few partners, but when they hear that he needs to borrow money, they avoid the subject and talk about this and that for a long time without mentioning the money.
Helplessly, Old Man Bai could only sell his assets, but when other people heard that something was wrong with the Bai family, they all came to step on him, offering extremely low prices, less than 20% of the original price.
Seeing that the time for the robbery was getting closer and closer, and there was still a long way to go to get the 50 million, the old man was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters. But at this moment, the robber called again.
"There are still 20 hours and 35 minutes left, and not a cent less than the 50 million, otherwise you will only see Bai Yiqing's corpse!"
The robber hung up the phone after he finished speaking. The old man was so anxious that his blood pressure soared and he fainted.
He woke up after taking the medicine, his face pale. He decided to sell his assets at a low price. He could earn money again, but his grandson would never come back after he died.
He couldn't save his eldest son back then, so now he has to save Yiqing no matter what.
"Master, it's a call from Mr. Zheng." The servant came over to report.
The old man was weak and had someone help him to answer the phone.
"I'm Zheng Guan. I heard that the Bai family is interested in selling off their assets. I can offer the price."
Officer Zheng directly quoted a figure, which was 30% of the original price, a little higher than what others offered.
"Can you offer a little more? Your price isn't as high as..."
"Forget it then, we'll talk later!"
Officer Zheng interrupted him and was about to hang up the phone.
"No, for this price, I want cash today."
The old man reluctantly cut his losses. Although he would lose half of his assets, he might be able to save his grandson, and the remaining assets would be enough for him to live on.
Officer Zheng readily agreed, as he had already prepared the cash.
He handed over the money with one hand and signed the contract with the other. After the old man finished writing the last stroke, his body shook a few times, and he looked visibly older.
He had worked hard all his life to build up his fortune, and it was cut in half. It hurt him so much.
Seeing Zheng Guan's smug look, Old Man Bai suddenly had a suspicion. Could it be that this damn coffin-born child was in cahoots with the robbers?
The old man's eyelids twitched a few times. After returning home, he immediately called his son-in-law.
His son-in-law is the second-in-command of the Plum Blossom Gang. Although his daughter is dead, Old Man Bai has always been in contact with his son-in-law and even sent women to him. The relationship between the father-in-law and son-in-law is still good.
"I'll check it out. It shouldn't be possible. Officer Zheng wouldn't break the rules."
The son-in-law agreed to investigate.
Information on the underworld was shared, and the son-in-law quickly found out, "It was done by a few people from South Vietnam, and it has nothing to do with Zheng Guan."
Although Zheng Guan took advantage of the situation, he did not break the rules. The Bai family can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
Old Man Bai didn't dare to trouble his son-in-law too much, for fear of annoying him. His daughters died without leaving any descendants, and he had to rely on him to maintain the relationship with money and effort over the years. Thanks to his son-in-law's protection, the Bai family has been safe and sound in Hong Kong Island over the years.
If the relationship with his son-in-law is severed, the Bai family will be like an orphan with a huge fortune in Hong Kong Island. Everyone can come and take a bite. Even he can't protect him, let alone his useless descendants.
The old man put 50 million in cash into a large suitcase. Everything was ready, and he was just waiting for the robber to call.
Three days later, the robbers called and asked Bai's mother to take the money to the park at the foot of the mountain and put the suitcase next to the trash can.
"Don't play tricks, or I'll kill you!"
After the robber gave the warning, he hung up the phone.
The Bai family lived at the foot of the mountain, not far from the park. Bai's mother dragged the suitcase to the park, put the suitcase next to the trash can, and then left obediently.
Inspector Zhong personally led a group of people, all in plain clothes, to lie in ambush near the park, waiting to arrest the robbers as soon as they appeared.
