Chapter 516 Leading Lian Haolong and Feng Yuxiu to Pursue the Murderer
Chapter 516 Leading Lian Haolong and Feng Yuxiu to Pursue the Murderer
Early the next morning, it was just dawn.
Outside an abandoned warehouse in a back alley in Mong Kok.
Tony, along with a dozen or so elite henchmen, silently surrounded them.
Each person held a steel pipe in their hand, their eyes sharp.
"Brother Xuan's orders are to finish this quickly and leave no survivors," Tony whispered to his henchman.
The henchmen nodded and gripped their weapons tightly.
Tony waved his hand, and two henchmen stepped forward and kicked open the broken warehouse door.
"Bang!" The sound of a door hinge breaking shattered the morning's tranquility.
Inside the warehouse, a dozen or so loyal gangsters of the Ding family were half asleep when they heard the noise and were instantly awakened.
"Who?!"
"Enemies! Grab your weapons!"
A chaotic noise arose, and the gangsters hurriedly reached for the steel pipes and machetes around them.
But it's too late.
Tony and his gang stormed in, steel pipes swung, and the wind howled.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Screams echoed one after another.
These die-hard Ding family members, though fierce, were no match for Tony and his men.
Tony acted swiftly and ruthlessly, smashing a steel pipe into the arm of one of the thugs. With a crisp "crack," the man rolled on the ground in pain.
The battle was over in less than five minutes.
More than a dozen thugs were all knocked to the ground, and none of them could get up.
Tony grabbed the leader, a scarred man, and stomped on his chest.
"Tell me! Where is Ding Xiaoxie hiding in Dongguan?"
Scarface spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes contorted with rage: "Ye Haoxuan wants to find Mr. Ding? Dream on!"
He suddenly gritted his teeth, and black blood instantly spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Tony's expression changed, and he reached out to pry open his mouth, but it was too late.
Scarface's body twitched a few times, then he stopped breathing completely.
"Brother Xuan, he committed suicide by biting poison!" Tony said in a deep voice.
Ye Haoxuan stood at the warehouse entrance, his cold gaze sweeping over the gangsters on the ground: "Ask the others."
The henchmen immediately stepped forward to interrogate him. But no matter how they hit him or questioned him, the remaining gangsters shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"We were just ordered to harass the construction site, and we have no idea where Mr. Ding is!"
"Scarface didn't tell us that!"
Ye Haoxuan frowned, knowing that he wouldn't get any more information by asking.
"Let them all contribute to the reclamation of Hong Kong Island and make it cleaner."
Tony nodded respectfully, "Yes, Brother Xuan."
After dealing with the warehouse matters, Ye Haoxuan returned to the company.
Abu, Lian Haolong, and Feng Yuxiu were already waiting in the office.
He looked at Abu: "Abu, I'm not on Hong Kong Island. You and your brothers will follow Fang Ting 24 hours a day, never leaving her side."
"Don't worry, Brother Xuan!" Abu replied in a deep voice.
"Ah Xiu, Ah Long, this time when we go to Dongguan, you two come with me, and each of you bring two henchmen."
Feng Yuxiu and Lian Haolong replied in unison, "Okay, Brother Xuan."
With everything arranged, Ye Haoxuan picked up the car keys: "Let's go."
The group of seven people traveled in two cars and headed straight for Dongguan.
The scenery outside the car window gradually changed from the glitz and glamour of Hong Kong Island to the bustling streets and alleys of Dongguan City.
In the 1990s, Dongguan was a bustling city with numerous factories, busy docks, and a diverse mix of people from all walks of life.
"Brother Xuan, I've noted down the addresses of the Ding family's early business partners in Dongguan." Feng Yuxiu handed over a slip of paper.
Ye Haoxuan took it and glanced at it: "Let's go to the first one, Chen Laoliu in Shilong Town."
"Understood," Feng Yuxiu replied.
Ye Haoxuan leaned back in the passenger seat, his eyes cold.
Ding Xiaoxie, Ding Xie... hiding in Dongguan, thinking he can rest easy?
This time, I've come personally to invite you back to Hong Kong Island.
The debts owed to the Fang family and to Sister Ling should all be settled!
The car sped along, heading towards Shilong Town.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the old street in Shilong Town.
The stone-paved road was full of potholes, and there were low old houses on both sides.
The smoke from the breakfast stalls drifted far away, mingling with the aroma of fried dough sticks and the sound of bicycle bells, creating a vibrant, down-to-earth atmosphere.
"Brother Xuan, the third shop ahead is Chen Laoliu's general store," Feng Yuxiu pointed ahead.
Ye Haoxuan pushed open the car door and walked forward with steady steps.
Feng Yuxiu and Lian Haolong followed behind with their underlings. The men were tall and sharp, which was out of place with the leisurely atmosphere of the old street, attracting frequent glances from passersby.
An old wooden cabinet stood at the entrance of the grocery store, piled high with cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and tea.
A middle-aged man with a mustache was sitting on a bamboo chair by the door, smoking. It was Chen Laoliu.
He caught sight of Ye Haoxuan and his group, and his eyes widened in panic. He instinctively tried to hide inside the shop.
"Chen Laoliu." Ye Haoxuan spoke, his voice not loud, but with a penetrating force.
Chen Laoliu's body stiffened, he slowly turned around, and forced a smile, trying to appear calm:
"Gentlemen... who are you? You must have the wrong people."
"You're the one I'm looking for." Lian Haolong stepped forward, his aura fierce. "Where is Ding Xiaoxie?"
Upon hearing the name "Ding Xiaoxie," Chen Laoliu's face turned deathly pale, and his hands began to tremble.
"Mr. Ding...? I don't know him! I haven't been in contact with him for a long time!"
Ye Haoxuan walked up to him, looking down at him with icy eyes:
"No contact?" "Ten years ago, you were chasing and beating people because of your gambling debts, and it was Ding Xie who helped you pay them off."
"Five years ago, your son was arrested, but Ding Xiaoxie got him out through connections."
You're saying there's been no contact?
With each word he spoke, Chen Laoliu's face paled further, and cold sweat streamed down his face.
He opened his mouth, still trying to argue, "That's all ancient history... Really, I haven't seen him recently!"
Feng Yuxiu stepped forward, grabbed Chen Laoliu by the collar, and lifted him up.
Chen Laoliu's feet left the ground; he was so frightened he almost lost his soul, and he struggled to shout:
"Help! Murder!"
"Shut up!" Feng Yuxiu's eyes hardened, and he tightened his grip.
Chen Laoliu immediately fell silent, his face turning bright red, and he could only gasp for breath.
Ye Haoxuan squatted down, picked up the cigarette from the bamboo chair, lit it, took a drag, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring:
"I don't have time to waste with you."
"Where is Ding Xiaoxie hiding in Dongguan? Explain yourself and I'll spare your life."
“If you won’t talk…” His eyes turned cold. “Your grocery store and your little villa can be demolished.”
Chen Laoliu trembled all over.
He relied on this grocery store to support himself in his old age, and his small villa was the thing he valued most. Ye Haoxuan's words hit him right where it hurt.
