The police received a report in the early hours of the morning, and a guy who claimed to be a police officer called the Marine Police Headquarters by maritime telephone, saying that the Empress of the East on the high seas had been robbed and was in urgent need of reinforcements.

Before the phone was called, the radio station of the Marine Police Headquarters received an alarm, which was an alarm from the Marine Department, saying that a ship was on fire on the high seas, and the silhouette seemed to be the Empress of the East, but the high-frequency radio could not be contacted.

At half past five in the morning, all the telephones were busy, notifying superiors, mobilizing manpower, dispatching speedboats, and dispatching helicopters from the rescue corps.

Hong Kong is a typhoon highland, the shipwreck rescue mechanism is quite perfect, Marine Region and Marine Department have activated emergency plans, rescue ships and helicopters rushed to the shipwreck site, the Oriental Queen is anchored in the open sea near Hong Kong waters, the distance is only 20 nautical miles, last night's heavy rain has stopped, the sea conditions are relatively ideal, the rescue is not difficult.

When the rescuers arrived, there were more than a dozen lifeboats floating on the sea, the Empress of the East had disappeared under the sea level, the marine police transferred the passengers in distress to their own boats, put blankets on them, handed them hot coffee, and soothed with kind words, reporters from several media in Hong Kong also rushed to hear the news, and they were interviewed by stitches, and the cameras kept shooting.

A frightened female shipwreck survivor pointed to an unconscious man and said, "Mr. policeman, save him, he saved my daughter." ”

The rest of the survivors chimed in: "Yes, he saved us all, he is a hero!" ”

The marine police immediately used the walkie-talkie to notify the helicopter, let them put down the hanging basket, and send the seriously injured to the hospital for first aid, so the dolphin helicopter hovering above put down the hanging basket, and the marine police tied the unconscious Liang Xiao in the hanging basket, and the reporters used the camera to faithfully record this clip, coupled with the tears of the survivors, the innocent eyes of the little girl, everyone knew that this would be a big news.

Just when people from all walks of life were playing on the same stage, Zhang Baiqiang and others were already sitting on a Panamanian-flagged container ship, the simple cabin was filled with the smell of diesel, and the sponges on the seat cushions were gnawed by mice, but there was a rare sense of security in their hearts sitting here.

What makes them even more reassuring is that the big pocket at their feet is full of large bills, US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, and although they have not counted carefully, this money is definitely more than those gold, and they can be used directly, without bothering to exchange them.

There was a knock on the cabin door, and Chu Xiangdong grabbed the shotgun and shouted, "Who?" ”

"Me." The answer came from outside, it was the mysterious speedboat pilot, who had driven them to the freighter after the incident had been completed last night.

Zhang Baiqiang made a look, Lu Hai stood behind the door with a dagger, the crow stepped forward to open the hatch, Zhao Hui walked in and said, "Everyone, are you still used to living?" ”

"Thanks, it's done." Zhang Baiqiang said that for him who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, this guy surnamed Zhao is too mysterious, mystery means unknown and dangerous, with tens of millions of cash in his hand, he has to guard against it.

Zhao Hui smiled: "Just get used to it, don't be nervous, anyway, we are people in the same boat, let's go, I'll show you something." ”

Chu Xiangdong looked at Zhang Baiqiang with inquiring eyes, the latter nodded slightly, the bandits who crisscrossed the four seas were not afraid wherever they went, could they be afraid when they got on this boat.

When the group came to the deck, Zhao Hui snapped his fingers, and a worker came over to open the container, and inside was a brand-new black BMW sedan. If a shipload of containers were loaded with such luxury cars, what a smuggling deal it would be.

Zhang Baiqiang and the others exchanged glances, and their hearts were a little fixed, compared with others, their own small business is really trivial.

"Ming people don't do dark things, I don't hide it from you, brother, I am a big business, I don't look down on the little money you robbed the gambling boat, I fancy the skills and courage of several brothers, I have a suggestion, you start work with me, I will help you arrange a new identity, ensure your safety, the work is paid by the piece, how about it, are a few heroes interested?"

The four bandits did not speak with gloomy faces, they were all thinking about the gains and losses in their hearts, although they were chic when they worked alone, but they didn't know which day they would fold in, if they followed the powerful big boss to start work, although they sacrificed a little freedom, they got peace of mind and stability.

Chu Xiangdong was the most breathless, he had long wanted to take his mother out, he had enough of this kind of fugitive career who was displaced and shot to change places, but the boss was still thinking about it, and he didn't dare to talk much, but his anxious eyes betrayed his mood.

"I want to ask one thing." Zhang Baiqiang finally spoke.

"Say."

"What does Liu Ziguang have to do with you?"

"That's my buddy."

Zhang Baiqiang nodded and grinned: "Okay, let's talk about our remuneration." ”

……

Hong Kong, in a mansion in deep water, Cheng Guoju, who was wearing pajamas, used all his strength to smash the remote control to the TV, and something so big happened that he only knew that the Empress of the East sank on the high seas inexplicably, and the brothers who watched the scene had no news, and Ah Hao also disappeared mysteriously, if it weren't for the habit of getting up early to watch the news, I am afraid that I wouldn't know it until noon.

was furious, the phone rang, and the bodyguard Ah Qiang went over to answer the phone, covered the microphone and said, "Master Ju, it's the marine police calling, please help in the investigation." ”

"Pick up the car!" Cheng Guoju shouted angrily, went upstairs to change clothes, and suddenly stopped when he walked to the staircase, and a sentence flashed in his mind: "That money doesn't belong to you, if you take it, it will be hot." ”

Could it be that they did it? It can't be, they are just barking, how can there be such a big deal, the gambling ship is likely to be a fire in the hold or a failure of the engine, plus a wreck caused by complex sea conditions.

Changed into a suit and drove to the Marine Police Headquarters, the police introduced the incident to Cheng Guoju, in short, the ship sank, part of the crew is missing, some passengers were surprised and burned, and now Cheng Guoju, as the owner of the ship, will face huge compensation and civil prosecution, this is just the beginning, the ship sank, the trouble will be endless, endless.

The wreck site is in the open seas, not under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong police, and the ship's registered place is Cyprus, even if it is known that there was a robbery on board, the Hong Kong police have no right to intervene, but fortunately, many of the victims are Hong Kong people, the police accepted their report, and began to investigate the matter, but there are many difficulties, the first ship has sunk on the bottom of the sea, and it has become quite difficult to collect evidence, even if the deep-sea diving equipment and personnel are contacted, all traces on the ship cannot be recovered.

At present, the only clue is the policeman, but unfortunately, the policeman suffered a head injury in the process of rescuing people and has not yet woken up, and his superior, Officer Miao of the West Kowloon Crime Squad faced a question from a higher-level police officer, but said that he knew nothing about the actions of his subordinates.

Most of the guests on the gambling boat were mainlanders, and they were not in the mood to continue to stay in Hong Kong after this catastrophe, so they rushed back to the mainland.

The most uncomfortable thing is Cheng Guoju, he has a feeling that he has been yin but has no power to resist, the master of the horse is also a person who has been famous on the road for many years, how can he have such a wretched spirit, the gambling boat worth hundreds of millions is gone, the dozens of guys are gone, the income of millions a day is gone, and his brother is missing, and more importantly, the face of the master has been greatly bruised, and he has been slapped in the face but is powerless to resist, which makes him embarrassed.

was discussing the issue of insurance payment with the lawyer at home, and suddenly the phone bell in the corner of the wall rang again, and now the master of the horse heard the phone ringing and trembled, he waved his hand to let Ah Qiang listen to the phone, Ah Qiang answered the phone and whispered a few words, covered the microphone and said: "Master Ju, the young master has an accident." ”

"What's the matter!"

"Possession of drugs, arrested by the mainland police."

"What!" Master Ju suddenly stood up and asked, "Didn't Alun go to school in England, why did he go to the mainland!" ”

Alun is the only son of the master of the horse, the master of the horse has been mixed all his life, and he doesn't want his son to follow the old path, so he sent him to London to study when he was young, hoping that his son will be a doctor and lawyer in the future.

Cheng Guoju only felt that his blood was surging, and he fell to the ground in the dark, Ah Qiang and the lawyer hurriedly rushed up and shook him and shouted: "Master Ju, Master Ju, what's wrong with you!" ”

In a daze, he heard the siren of the ambulance chirping, and when the master woke up again, he was already lying in the hospital, thinking about everything in the next life, from the joint victory being uprooted, to the mysterious sinking of the Empress of the East, and then to the inexplicable detention of his son, he felt a cold to the bone, as if there was a net covering himself, and he couldn't find the enemy if he wanted to resist, and he wanted to escape, but he had been operating in Hong Kong for decades, which was to say that he could walk away.

"Alas......" Master Ju sighed, and for a moment he seemed to be ten years old.

Ah Qiang stood beside him and whispered, "Master Ju, there is a call to find you." ”

Cheng Guoju took the phone, listened calmly, and finally said: "I know, I will do it, I hope Director Song will not break his word." He put down the phone and said to Cuong, "Go and call Lawyer Zhang." ”

After Mr. Zhang, a lawyer who specializes in handling financial matters for Cheng Guoju, arrived, Cheng Guoju signed a document from his hospital bed to transfer the 1.8 billion yuan in several secret accounts to a mainland account.

At the same time, Cai Ziming, an employee of a securities company in Hong Kong, was also arrested by the police on charges of money laundering, and more than 10 large-value bearer international bonds with a total amount of 200 million yuan were immediately found at his residence.

12 hours later, news came from the mainland that Cheng XX, a Hong Kong citizen arrested on suspicion of drug possession, confirmed that he had been framed and was acquitted.

At Chek Lap Kok International Airport, Liu Ziguang and Hu Rong sat side by side facing the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, on the long runway, planes took off and landed, flight information scrolled on the big screen, and English broadcasts came from time to time.

"Alas, that's the end of it." Hu Rong sucked the papaya milk in the cup, looking a little lonely.

"Do you miss Hong Kong, or do you miss the days when you were with me?" Liu Ziguang said as he lay on his back on the chair with his head in his hands.

"Beautiful you, you are too dangerous, too bold, I will never partner with you again in the future!" Hu Rong sucked a big mouthful of papaya milk again, and hammered a fist on Liu Ziguang's shoulder to show a break.

"By the way, do you think Liang Xiao will be fine?"

"As long as he is smart enough, he will be fine, and he will be promoted."

"But I'm still worried, in case...... Liu Ziguang, what do you want? ”

"I finally understand why you're so old, what to drink and what to make up, it's not wrong at all." Liu Ziguang pointed to the papaya milk in Hu Rong's hand and said.

"You! Ignore you! Hu Rong turned her back angrily, but she still sucked the papaya milk.
