Inside the mansion of Old Nine Chen in Sham Shui Po.
In the presence of this high - and - mighty kingpin, everyone held their breaths. Being stared at by his sharp eyes was definitely a bad omen.
Vincent sat in the middle of the sofa, crossing his legs. A cigar between his fingers emitted wisps of smoke.
“How could you be led around by a little girl? What's going on?”
Old Nine Chen kept wiping the sweat off the back of his neck and decided to shift the blame to Yishan Li. “If Miss Li hadn't been so careless, this wouldn't have happened.”
It was indeed Yishan Li's oversight and overconfidence that led to the laptop being snatched and cracked. She sneered. “I'll handle my own affairs.”
“Tell me how,” Vincent said patiently.
“We've captured Shuwen Xie,” Old Nine Chen interrupted eagerly. Yishan Li didn't give him any face and mocked, “Do you think a Shuwen Xie can threaten her? How naive!”
“It's better than having nothing on her at all!” Old Nine Chen glared at Yishan Li defiantly. “I haven't even settled the score with you for all your underhanded deeds!”
“Oh? A lowly fool barking in front of me?”
“STOP!” Vincent crushed the cigar in his hand, and the fragments fell to the ground. His expression was so menacing that it seemed he'd like to kill everyone in the next second to vent his anger.
Old Nine Chen wisely shut up, and Yishan Li snorted and turned away.
“The young master of the Qin family, his name is... Feng Qin?” Vincent took out another cigar from the box. “What if we start with him?”
Feng Qin had run away with Bingxia Xie. Wouldn't it be as difficult to catch him as it was to catch Bingxia Xie? Old Nine Chen muttered to himself. Just then, a subordinate rushed in holding a phone in a panic. “Boss, it's a call from the young master of the Qin family!”
Old Nine Chen was shocked. Was he actually offering himself up? He quickly took the phone and heard Feng Qin yelling on the other end. “Damn it! That bitch Bingxia Xie played me! Boss Chen, you must help me this time!”
“Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly,” Old Nine Chen sensed an opportunity and quickly comforted Feng Qin. “What happened?”
“That bitch said she wanted to marry me and asked me to take her back. Then she ran away and went to Bei Gu!” Feng Qin on the other end of the phone was furious. “Boss Chen, Hong Kong is your territory. You've got to stand up for me!”
“What? What did you say?” Old Nine Chen's eyes widened like copper bells. He mechanically turned his head to look at Vincent and stammered, “You mean... Bei Gu is still alive?”
Everyone present was shocked, and Vincent even stood up and walked straight towards Old Nine Chen, signaling him to cover the phone's mouthpiece. Old Nine Chen did as he was told, and Vincent whispered, “Don't discuss the negotiation terms on the phone. Ask to meet in person.”
“Hello? Young Master Qin, it's not convenient to talk on the phone. Can we meet and discuss this in detail?”
“Sure. I'll send you the hotel address. Hurry up. I'll wait for you in the lobby.”
Old Nine Chen hung up the phone. Vincent leaned over and whispered some instructions in his ear. Old Nine Chen nodded repeatedly and said, “Got it. Leave it to me.”
Vincent turned and shouted outside the door, “Ethan, come in.”
Ethan walked in respectfully, bowed slightly, and asked, “BOSS, what are your orders?”
“Go with him. You know what to do.”
“Yes.” Ethan followed Old Nine Chen out, a faint smile curving his lips.
“It's definitely a trap!” Yishan Li shouted at Vincent. “We can't walk into it blindly.”
Vincent put his arm around Yishan Li's waist, got close to her face, and blew a puff of cigar smoke in her face. “Baby, calm down. The show has just begun.”
Old Nine Chen brought a few of his own subordinates, and with Ethan, Vincent's top - notch subordinate, there to back him up, he wasn't worried about Feng Qin causing any trouble. The two met in the hotel lobby. Old Nine Chen could tell at a glance that Feng Qin was extremely angry, so his guard instantly dropped.
“Boss Chen, you must help me catch that woman. I'll fully cooperate with you on the Gold Wharf project!”
“Young Master Qin, first tell me about Bei Gu. Why isn't he dead?” What Old Nine Chen was concerned about was exactly what Vincent was most interested in: information about Bei Gu!
“I'm not sure exactly. Bingxia Xie seemed to have gotten the news that Bei Gu was still alive. She dumped me and ran away. Wuwuwu!” Feng Qin was very sad, as if he was about to burst into tears with one more word.
Old Nine Chen was a bit disappointed. It turned out that Feng Qin was just as confused and didn't have the information they wanted. The only thing they could confirm was that Bingxia Xie had gone after Bei Gu. Did that mean that if they caught Bingxia Xie, they could find out Bei Gu's whereabouts?
He sighed and deliberately led Feng Qin on. “Hong Kong is so big. It'll be hard for me to find her in a short time. What if she goes back to the mainland...” Old Nine Chen guessed that Feng Qin had a way to find Bingxia Xie but lacked the means. Sure enough, his guess was right. Feng Qin said, “She took my phone when she ran away.”
Old Nine Chen was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately said, “Don't worry. Leave the location - tracking to me. I'll definitely send that girl back to you! As for the Gold Wharf project...”
“I give you my word!” Feng Qin patted his chest.
“Good, good.” Old Nine Chen signaled Ethan with his eyes. Ethan and a few subordinates stepped forward and grabbed Feng Qin. Feng Qin was extremely surprised. “Boss Chen, what are you doing?”
“Protecting your safety! Let's go!”
Ethan took Feng Qin to the hotel room that had been booked. After closing the door, he first carefully checked the whole room and Feng Qin's body with a detector. Only after confirming that there were no listening devices did he feel relieved.
Feng Qin deflated and said disappointedly, “Vincent didn't come.”
A few hours ago, they had a strategy meeting, and Ethan had personally revealed the hardships of his years of undercover work beside Vincent.
“Currently, the evidence in the USB drive can only prove Yishan Li's criminal activities. It can't link her to Vincent,” Bei Gu said straightforwardly. “They've hidden themselves well.”
“Right,” Ethan nodded. “According to my investigation, Vincent always keeps his confidential documents on his person. No one can get close to him, let alone know where they're kept. Not even Yishan Li has ever had access to them.”
“Why do you think Bei Gu can get them?” Bingxia Xie always got to the point. Ethan smiled and said, “Mr. Gu is special to Vincent.”
Bei Gu made a face. “Don't make it sound like we have something going on. We're just old enemies.”
Ethan explained to Bei Gu, “His desire to kill you has been growing over the years. It's reached the point of madness. If he has the chance to face you, he'll kill you with his own hands.”
Bei Gu nodded. “I understand. If I can get close to him and even stay by his side, I'll naturally have a chance to find out where the documents are.”
“It's too dangerous!” Bingxia Xie couldn't agree. “Giving Vincent this opportunity is like putting Bei Gu on the brink of life and death.”
Ethan lowered his eyes and didn't deny it. “It is indeed very dangerous.”
“It doesn't matter,” Bei Gu waved his hand. “This is our destiny. We're bound to have a final showdown. It's time to end this.”
“Bei Gu!” Bingxia Xie still wanted to dissuade him, but Bei Gu stepped forward and kissed her, silencing her chattering mouth.
“If you object again, I'll kiss you until you pass out and can't think.”
Bingxia Xie didn't pass out, but Feng Qin fainted first. The shock was... nuclear - level!
Recalling this scene, Feng Qin became even more dejected. Ethan, however, had expected it and wasn't in a hurry. “He won't show up in person for something like this.”
For a seasoned opponent like Vincent, if you throw out a bait, even if he knows it's a trap, he won't take it immediately. You have to keep throwing it until he gradually believes it's real and is willing to take the bait.
Feng Qin was just the first step. The second step was, of course... Bingxia Xie.
As night fell, the Kowloon City District also迎来了 the darkest moment of the day. Inside an abandoned building, Bingxia Xie was waiting at the pre - planned location for Old Nine Chen to arrive.
The bait was ready. Come and take it! Bingxia Xie was full of confidence when she heard a female voice behind her.
“Did you think Old Nine Chen would come?”
Bingxia Xie turned around abruptly. Yishan Li walked towards her slowly, emerging from the shadows into the moonlight. She was wearing a tight - fitting suit with a gun tucked into her waist, looking quite like a killer.
“Hey, you're always there,” Bingxia Xie sighed. She heard Bei Gu's order in her wireless earpiece. “Don't confront her head - on. Retreat along the planned route first.”
Bingxia Xie understood and stepped back towards the window.
“Trying to escape?” Yishan Li pressed on, her smile extremely eerie. “I thought you'd go all out to take revenge on me when you saw me.”
“After all, it was me who killed you. Right, Jingwei Xia?”
