Chapter 179 Reward



With such a big incident happening, the passersby nearby had already called the police. The first to arrive were the uniformed military team patrolling the street, but even if they were fast, it still took them nearly fifteen minutes, and by the time they arrived, the incident was already over.

The scene was well-protected. After all, Ren Xiaoshan, a retired police officer, knew the ropes. Two officers took over, notifying the command center of the situation while maintaining order.

Although Wan Chongshan and the other two temporarily lost their mobility due to the impact of the bullet, they were not in any danger of life under the protection of bulletproof vests. After being examined by Ren Xiaoshan, they just needed to wait for the ambulance on the spot.

Si Mingyu sat aside with his arm around Zhang Ningxi, patiently waiting for further arrangements.

The pen he threw out was one he carried with him on purpose. After removing the cap, its lethality in Si Mingyu's hand was no less than that of a dart.

He didn't feel anything when he killed someone for the first time. Firstly, it happened suddenly and he didn't have time to think, so he just did it. Secondly, the other person shot him first, so he felt less guilty.

Soon a large number of police officers arrived at the scene and began to perform their duties under the command of a senior superintendent.

As victims and injured, Si Mingyu and the others were naturally taken to the hospital by ambulance first. Because their injuries were not serious, they were sent to the Mary Hospital, which was a little further away but had better facilities, after negotiation.

When we arrived, the vice president and medical staff were already waiting outside the emergency building.

On the way here, Si Mingyu asked Chen Weirong and Lu David to help arrange a hospital. The vice president must pay enough attention to the calls from two heavyweights, not to mention that the other party was one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong.

There is nothing much to say, everything is the best treatment.

Si Mingyu himself declined the vice president's suggestion to conduct a comprehensive examination just in case, and only asked Zhang Ningxi and Ren Xiaoshan to check it out.

After everything was settled, the accompanying police officers began to take statements from everyone. Just tell the truth.

In reality, the course of events is now crystal clear. Many businesses on Tsim Sha Tsui's commercial streets have cameras installed, and the police have already obtained relevant footage. There are also numerous witnesses on the street, and the police have gathered sufficient testimony. Most importantly, there's still a living witness, Chen Sunong.

Shooting in the street is naturally a serious crime, but after all, it was attempted murder. There is no death penalty in Hong Kong sentencing, so it is naturally impossible for Chen Sunong to commit suicide out of fear of punishment.

What bottom line does a person who is hired to kill for money have? After the police asked Chen Sunong a few questions, he spilled the beans and told them everything he knew, saying he would cooperate in any way as long as his sentence could be reduced.

Any middleman, unless they're foolish, would have kept their contact information confidential. But ultimately, they're just brokers in the intelligence and hiring worlds, so it's hard to say how strict their confidentiality measures are. The police immediately pursued the case after receiving the lead. A case of this magnitude inevitably requires significant resources to solve.

Si Mingyu naturally had to tell the company about this matter. Of course, he didn't want the company to help solve it, but just wanted to inform them.

That evening, Hong Kong officials and an Assistant Commissioner of Police came to visit Si Mingyu and others.

He encountered this incident just a few days after he came to inherit the company. The authorities were worried that it would shake the investment environment in Hong Kong. If a business group of such a size lost confidence in Hong Kong, it would be a huge loss to the local economy.

This incident targeted Si Mingyu. Neither the mastermind nor the middleman were from Hong Kong, and even the hiring arrangements were made in South Vietnam. Ruan Jingtian and Chen Sunong's infiltration was clearly targeted, so they didn't contact local Hong Kong forces. This was a case of "iron-skinned" individuals operating outside Hong Kong, so the Hong Kong police had no prior clues.

But that's not an excuse.

It is a fact that the attack took place in Hong Kong, and no excuse can be given. While Hong Kong officials came to express their condolences, they also promised that the murderer behind the scenes would be brought to justice and that such an incident would never happen again.

Si Mingyu understood this. After all, a thief can be thieves for a thousand days, so why be on guard against thieves for a thousand days? No matter how powerful the Hong Kong police are, they can't completely protect a city of over seven million people. Furthermore, the police arrived at the scene within fifteen minutes of the incident, which can be said to be an extremely quick response.

Si Mingyu also proposed his own solution to the police: a reward. He would offer five million Hong Kong dollars to anyone who provided useful information, and twenty million Hong Kong dollars to anyone who could reveal the middleman's hiding place.

The Hong Kong police also welcome his approach, which can help solve cases more quickly. Besides, this method is also used by wealthy businessmen in Southeast Asia, so it is in line with local customs.

The next day, Si Mingyu and others chartered a plane to return to Shanghai. Not to mention that once the news of the bounty was released, the underground forces in the entire Southeast Asia were alarmed.

For any force or individual, the reward for simply finding someone was already incredibly high. Providing information was simply ignored; the goal was to find the person and send them over to collect the 20 million yuan reward.

Although the information Chen Sunong provided about the middleman was very limited, since you are in this line of work, you are destined to come into contact with many people. Those who are familiar with you can always think of a few suspicious targets based on these clues.

You're not a policeman and you don't need evidence. If you have a suspect, just bring him over and question him.

.

As an intelligence broker, Qian Mowei never felt that he was so important and valuable.

He was a Malayan, and his main areas of activity were South Vietnam and Malaya. A while ago, a "friend" introduced him to a business opportunity: a wealthy businessman from the Fifty-State Federation wanted to buy a man's life and asked him to help find a few reliable people to do the job.

The other party paid a lot of money, and even after that "friend" and himself took a cut, it was still a lot. For the sake of the money, Qian Mowei found two retired South Vietnamese soldiers and got weapons through his connections.

But I didn't expect that things would go wrong.

This is because the other party had agreed to contact them after they succeeded and then transfer the balance to them, but there was still no news after the agreed final time.

Not only that, he found that his business suddenly increased, but no matter what the business was, the other party required an in-person meeting, which inevitably made him suspicious. After some investigation, Qian Mowei found that there was a reward of 20 million yuan.

As a veteran in the industry, he knew that a bounty of this magnitude would be enough to mobilize all factions across Southeast Asia. After all, compared to other methods of making money, recruiting was undoubtedly the least risky and cheapest. A mere 10,000 yuan internal bounty would send their underlings scurrying like mad dogs after them, but 10,000 yuan wouldn't motivate them to fight other gangs.

Qian Mowei knew even more that these forces were by no means good people. If he was discovered, it would be normal for him to lose limbs or suffer torture during the escape. As long as he was alive, it would be fine.

For the sake of his own safety, Qian Mowei decided to surrender himself. After all, the authorities were also looking for him.
