LRAB Chapter 68, Scene 5: The Rat Kills the Eyebrow
Chapter 68, Scene 5: The Rat Kills the Eyebrow
Time flies, and a week has passed.
The hottest topic in the underworld this week was Sun Kee's exorbitant ransom payment for a gang leader, a price of 12 million, far surpassing that of Wo Luen Shing and Chung Shun Yee.
The cohesion that such a sincere triad could unleash was unprecedented. They took back most of the territory that the New Triad had lost, and some branches even managed to reclaim one or two more streets.
While the New Stars were indeed powerful, they were also criticized for bullying the weak and fearing the strong, not daring to fight Hung Hing to the death, and not even taking any action to retaliate against Chan Fan.
Xinji also had no way to explain this. Even if you gave them a water tank as a courage, they wouldn't dare to fight to the death with the crazy guy who was carrying a bomb. Who knows if the other party would self-destruct on the spot?
The conflict in the martial arts world sparked by the new record attracted the attention of most people in the martial arts world, which also gave a certain sunset gang that was on the verge of losing its name a breath of fresh air.
Chen Fan waited a week for news, and finally that bastard with the ass-eyebrows made a move to secretly contact three human smuggling groups heading to different places, planning to leave Hong Kong Island.
Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. With two smoke grenades covering one destination, Chen Fan had to admit that this old fox, Piyanmei, was truly a brainless scoundrel.
The smarter Piyanmei appeared, the more curious Chen Fan became about whether Chen Tailong was Piyanmei's son or the neighbor's son.
Unfortunately, Meng Bo's investigation could not hide the true route of the "buttocks and eyebrows" incident.
Early that morning.
A fishing boat in Saigon.
Chen Fan changed into a fisherman's outfit and inspected the boat, while Ahua and Cao Dahua also played the role of fishermen.
The three of them didn't have to wait long before a powerful flashlight shone on their boat a few times, sending two long and one short flashes as a signal.
Upon seeing the coded message, Chen Fan quickly instructed, "Uncle Da, reply to the message and welcome the guests!"
Cao Dahua raised his flashlight and gave the same coded signal.
"Ahua, go check the cabin again. We can't let our guests get suspicious as soon as they board the ship."
"No problem, I'll go finish those guys off with a whack."
Ahua picked up a steel pipe from a pile of fishing nets on the ground and went into the cabin.
A few seconds later, several muffled thuds were heard.
This ship naturally did not belong to Chen Fan, but was seized by them. The original owner was a smuggler who traveled between Hong Kong Island and Taiwan.
Human smuggling gangs specialize in human trafficking and have more or less blood on their hands. Chen Fan never shows any mercy to such villains. From the moment the original owner of this ship accepted the order to send people to Taiwan, they were already close to their doom.
Surrounded by several trusted bodyguards, Chen Mei boarded the fishing boat.
The bodyguards were all carrying luggage, and Chen Mei was also holding a bulging handbag in her arms.
"Uncle Mei, right?"
Chen Fan greeted him with a smile.
Chen Mei glanced at him, frowned, and asked, "Where's Snake Boy Chun?"
"Uncle Mei, our Brother Chun is escorting a very important shipment for someone tonight. He just left by ship."
"What could be more important than me?"
Chen Mei was very dissatisfied.
No matter what, he paid a lot of money. Not only did he not deliver it himself, but he also ran off first. It's like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs.
Chen Fan replied with a straight face, "This is our internal secret, and it's not convenient to disclose it at the moment. Please understand, Uncle Mei."
When can the boat depart?
Every profession has its own rules, and Chen Mei didn't delve into them.
"We can set off anytime." Chen Fan looked embarrassed and added, "However, there are only me and two brothers on the ship. Once we're at sea, we might need some help from your capable men, Uncle Mei."
"That's no problem."
Chen Mei was eager for her bodyguards to keep a close eye on her.
He is no longer the leader of the Hung Tai Group. His top priority is to land safely in Taiwan. The fewer people from the human trafficking group on the ship, the safer he will be.
The nearly 20-meter-long fishing boat slowly sailed away from the port under Chen Fan's control.
Just three or four nautical miles from where the ship had sailed, a Toyota Hiace roared into the harbor, and the Causeway Bay Five Rats got out of the car.
"Damn it! I'm too late again!"
Watching the departing boats, the pheasant angrily kicked the car door.
Despite their best efforts, they were unable to stop and kill Chen Mei before she boarded the ship.
As long as Chen Mei lives, the bonuses hanging on their heads will remain in effect.
Bao Pi looked at Chen Haonan with a dejected expression. "Brother Nan, what do we do now?"
Chan Ho-nam looked blank.
If they can't get rid of Chen Mei, they'll all be stuck in the gutter in Hong Kong, and their promise to stay in Hong Kong will forever remain empty words.
Thinking back to the night they killed Chen Tailong, Chen Haonan wondered if he could have done better than Chen Fan if they hadn't gone all out. After all, they dared to touch Chen Tailong, while Chen Fan didn't dare to touch him with their lead.
Pheasant gritted his teeth and said, "Find a boat, let's go to Taiwan and take care of that old bastard."
"Go to Taiwan?" Da Tian Er raised an eyebrow. "Chicken, are you crazy? We have no money and no connections. How are we going to deal with that guy in Taiwan?"
"Who says we don't have connections? I have a cousin in the Sanlian Gang in Taiwan. If we ask him for help, we'll definitely be able to take down that old bastard!"
Upon hearing Chicken's words, Chan Ho-nam's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand to press down on Chicken's shoulder. "Chicken, don't be impulsive. Let's go back and talk to Brother B to discuss this further."
Unbeknownst to the Five Rats, someone was watching their every move from a hidden corner of the dock.
The positions of the people, their clothing, and the condition of their vehicles were all recorded.
After Chen Haonan and his group had gone far away, Sai Kung Big Fool led his underlings out from the first floor of the pier.
"Go pick out the same model of car, paint it with the same license plate, and get in position quickly!"
"You guys change into clothes based on your body types and cosplay the five pink sausages from earlier."
"You play the deceased, and the rest of you play the bodyguards."
"Let's get this 'Five Rats Killing Eyebrows' scenario simulation going, quick and easy!"
Big Fool was holding a video camera and directing his men to do their jobs.
The reason they were here was because Chen Fan paid them to make a video to prove that the Causeway Bay Five Rats had "killed" Chen Mei.
This was done for two reasons: first, to find someone to take the blame; and second, to give Chen Fan a reason to appease Huang Bingyao.
On the high seas.
"Why is the ship stopped?"
Under Chen Mei's puzzled gaze, Chen Fan turned off the fishing boat's engine.
"Uncle Mei, your son misses you terribly down there. I've come to ask you to come down and keep him company."
Chen Fan raised his gun and aimed it at Chen Mei.
Staring at the dark muzzle of the gun, Chen Mei felt a chill run down her spine. "You're not one of Snake Boy Chun's men!"
"Uncle Mei, you still don't recognize me? Looks like my reputation isn't big enough. Ah Hua, Uncle Da, get things done!"
bang bang...
No sooner had he finished speaking than gunshots rang out from the stern and bow decks of the ship.
Cao Dahua looked at the fallen corpse, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Starting tonight, he's not clean anymore either. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed when it actually happened.
During their time together, he could clearly sense how strong Chen Fan's resistance to the police force was. Unless Huang Bingyao contacted Chen Fan directly, even if Chen Fan was present when he spoke to Huang Bingyao, Chen Fan would not say a word and would only use his own voice.
Cao Dahua might take it as a joke once or twice, but if he doesn't realize it as it happens, then he's wasted all these years.
Come to think of it, based on Chen Fan's performance before he was released, he was an outstanding student who had the potential to win the Silver Rooster Award. He should have had a bright future, but he was released to go undercover.
Being an undercover agent is one thing, but changing bosses four times in a year, spending more time as a gangster than as a police officer in uniform, it's normal for someone young to have other ideas.
If he were five or six years younger, Cao Dahua would also want to shed his undercover identity and start over.
Fine, Chen Fan needs him to relay messages, he just needs to be a good mouthpiece, he can enjoy the rest of his life however he wants, and he can also openly receive two salaries.
