The teller at the front desk had never seen anything like this before!
This is Wi-Fi, not a gold shop!
I've seen people rob jewelry stores with AKs, but who uses an AK to rob movie negatives...?
When Ye Jihuan saw that there were three tellers at the front desk, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound. Losing his patience, he pressed the muzzle of his gun against one of the tellers' foreheads.
"You wouldn't want me to shoot you in the head, would you?"
The teller, brought back to reality by the fear of death, immediately spoke in a trembling voice.
"The negatives are under the manager's control; we don't even know which floor they're on!"
"Which floor is the manager on?"
"Fifth floor!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jihuan immediately addressed his underlings behind him.
"Leave three here. Anyone who dares to call the police will be shot on sight!"
"Yes, brother!"
As Yip Kai-foon led his men to the manager's office on the fifth floor, he didn't say a single unnecessary word!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Several shots!
Seeing the staff scattering and fleeing, Yip Kai-foon spoke again.
"Don't move if you don't want to die!"
Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Ye Jihuan then walked towards the manager's office!
Upon seeing the manager hiding under the desk, Ye Jihuan fired a shot at the landline phone on the desk without hesitation!
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"
"I'll give you whatever you want!"
Upon seeing the manager crawl out with his hands raised, Yip Kai-foon pressed a gun against his heart.
"Bring out the newly shot film negatives!"
"Don't try anything funny. If you make me unable to complete this task, I can find out where you live!"
Feeling the heat of the gun barrel through his shirt, the manager, already terrified to the point of wetting his pants, dared not utter a single word of dissent.
"Hero, don't get excited, don't get excited!"
"I'll get it for you!"
After saying that, the manager raised his hands, walked out of his desk, and went to the safe next to him!
Under Yip Kai-foon's watchful eye, he opened the safe containing the film negatives!
"Good sir, this is the newly edited film!"
"There are three in total: Police Story, Heart of Dragon, and Lucky Stars!"
With a single glance from Yip Kai-foon, his underlings immediately stepped forward and took the travel bag containing the film negatives. Then, Yip Kai-foon pressed a gun against the manager's chest and said...
"You wouldn't mind sending us down, would you?"
With a gun pointed at him, would he dare to say no?
"Hero, do you need a car? You can drive mine if you need one!"
Seeing that the manager was sensible, Ye Jihuan didn't say anything more and directly pointed the gun at him and walked towards the elevator!
After arriving on the first floor and meeting up with the underlings guarding the lobby, Ye Jihuan whispered in the manager's ear.
Don't make trouble for yourself!
After saying that, Ye Jihuan swaggered out of the hall with his underlings, got into the car parked at the door, and drove away!
Upon seeing Ye Jihuan and the others leave, the manager, who had survived the ordeal, immediately collapsed to the ground.
He was soaked in sweat, as if he had been pulled out of the water. Remembering the robber's words, he immediately abandoned the idea of calling the police.
Then, trembling, he called out to the clerk who was still staring blankly at the front desk.
"Damn it, why aren't you calling Mr. Shao yet!"
While hosting a banquet for all the cinema owners on Hong Kong Island at the Peninsula Hotel, Shao Yifu raised his glass to the owners in front of him and said...
"Fellow filmmakers, our film industry has been under constant threat from organized crime in recent years!"
"Let those short mules earn all the money that rightfully belongs to us!"
"But those days will never come again; our time is just beginning!"
Upon hearing Shao Yifu's words, everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in them!
Before Shao Yifu could even sit down, one of them spoke up.
"Mr. Shao, these gangsters are not to be trifled with!"
"We cooperated with you because you said you had Xinji backing you up, but so far we haven't seen Xu Huayan say a word!"
Someone took the lead in saying this, and immediately others chimed in to echo it!
Upon seeing this, Shao Yifu immediately revealed a confident smile!
"Mr. Guo, the reason Xu Huayan hasn't spoken up is because they're planning to take action against that short, ugly guy Ran in the next couple of days!"
After saying that, Shao Yifu saw that the people present still looked somewhat disbelieving, so he spoke again!
"Everyone, I have some news to tell you that no one else knows!"
Upon hearing what Run Run Shaw said, everyone immediately turned their attention to him.
"This time, it wasn't just his rival gang that attacked Handsome Ran, but also Deputy Commissioner of Police Nero!"
"You've all heard about the uproar a few days ago about the estate of Chiang Tin-sheng, the former leader of the Red Hing Group!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately returned to normal!
Xu Huayan's actions only made them feel that Liangzai Ran wouldn't act rashly, but if it was Nerous who made the move, then it would be good enough if Liangzai Ran didn't run away; what other actions could he possibly take!
Upon seeing this, Shao Yifu knew that he had achieved the desired effect!
He then raised his glass again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a cooperation plan that would benefit all of you and I would like to share it with you!"
Upon hearing Shao Yifu's words, everyone put down their wine glasses and turned their gazes back to him.
Seeing everyone's gaze, Shao Yifu spoke with a gentle smile.
"Everyone, I'm going to form a film alliance!"
"This alliance is used to determine how many cinemas there can be in each area. For example, the economically developed Wan Chai and Yau Tsim Mong areas could have 150 cinemas,"
"In poorer areas like Tuen Mun, Yuen Long, and Tai Po, there can only be thirty!"
