Chapter 1231 Money Can't Buy Sincerity
As night deepened, the bodyguard dialed Lambow's number.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lambowman?"
Hearing the other person's fluent English and tone, Lambow instantly realized that this was a foreigner, and immediately said in English, "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"I'm one of Mr. Dong's men. Where are you now? We need to rendezvous to prevent another assassin attack. Oh, and Mr. Dong asked me to inform you that Mr. Guo Ming is dead, so you're in great danger right now." The foreign bodyguard began his charade with a straight face.
Lan Bowen's pupils constricted. He had not yet received news of Guo Ming's death. This Mr. Dong was truly ruthless!
Despite his thoughts, he outwardly expressed his gratitude, saying, "Okay, we're here on Lianxiang Road now."
"Okay, please wait a moment, we'll be right there." After saying that, the foreign bodyguard hung up the phone.
Lam Bowen quickly informed Lau Kin-ming of the news, instructing him to evacuate the nearby crowd. As for the ordinary people on the road, they were to be impersonated by CID officers.
This time, their goal was to capture the foreigner alive and force him to reveal Mr. Dong's address.
To this day, none of them know anything about Mr. Dong's background or information, not even his address. If it weren't for his phone number, they wouldn't even be sure if he existed.
Therefore, only by pressing the foreigner can we find out Mr. Dong's true origin and address.
This is also because something happened at Demao Group, and now they are leaderless. The people they hired have all been wiped out, so Mr. Dong has no one else to rely on and can only send his most trusted confidants to do the work.
However, after sending people out, Mr. Dong felt uneasy.
"It's alright. James and his crew are the best in terms of both strength and equipment. Even before the attack, they could have easily killed Rambowen and his crew. Now that they've been attacked twice and their strength has been greatly reduced."
"I used to admire Ah Lan quite a bit. He was smart and decisive. It's a pity. No matter which one of you is the mole, you can all die!"
As he spoke, he took a sip of red wine from his wine glass and sat by the floor-to-ceiling window to admire the night view of Hong Kong Island.
They awaited good news from James.
On the other side, Liu Jianming and Lan Bowen had already set up a trap, waiting for James and the others to take the bait.
Soon, James and his group arrived at Lianxiang Road. There was no night market here, and not many people walked along the road at night. There were some scattered shops along the street, which were small stores.
Upon arrival, James did not immediately contact Lambowman, but instead instructed, "Take a look around here."
The driver obeyed immediately and began circling Lianxiang Road as instructed, searching for traces of Lan Bowen and his group, and also checking for any ambushes.
Although they tried to be discreet, they were still discovered by CID officers in the adjacent building.
"Liu Sir, three suspicious vehicles have been spotted, license plate number B6859... The target is circling around in Lianxiang Road."
Liu Jianming, who was in a command vehicle near Lianxiang Road, immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted after hearing the report: "Keep an eye on them and don't make any rash moves."
James was frowning. He had circled Lianxiang Road twice but had not found any trace of Lan Bowen and the others. Somewhat annoyed, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Mr. Lan, we have arrived. May I ask where you are?"
"Oh, you've arrived? We're in the underground parking lot. I can't help it, I don't have many people with me right now, so I don't dare to show myself easily. Please forgive me," Lan Bowen said gratefully.
Upon hearing that it was in the underground parking lot, James laughed. "You've got a way to heaven but you're barging into hell. You've actually gone to the underground parking lot. Perfect for them to do their thing!"
"Hey guys, get ready! The target is in the underground parking lot. Our goal is to leave no one alive."
The three cars immediately drove towards the underground parking lot. Liu Jianming also received the message and immediately ordered, "After they go in, immediately block all the passages in the underground parking lot and stop using the elevators."
“Ah Ao, we’ll need you to lead the team in and capture them alive later. I’ll have my colleagues from the CID and PTU assist you. Lan Bowen is one of us, and Shao Zhilang is a witness with a criminal record. He’s redeeming himself by doing good deeds.”
The reason for saying this was to imply to Qiu Gang'ao that he should try his best to protect Lan Bowen, and as for Shao Zhilang, he should be left to fend for himself. If he survived, it would be considered that he had redeemed himself; if he died, then so be it.
“Yes, Sir!” Qiu Gang’ao quickly agreed.
After James led his men into the underground parking lot, the passageway was blocked by cars, and the elevators were out of service. At this moment, Rambowen was standing next to a car with several of his men.
Seeing Rambo and his group standing to the side, James and the others parked their car and got out. After looking around, they instinctively asked, "Hey, Rambo, where's your partner, Shao?"
“They’re over there, aren’t they?” Rambowen said, pointing to the other side.
James instinctively looked in that direction and immediately saw Shao Zhilang waving at him. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly heard, "Hands up, police!"
He turned to look at Rambowen with disbelief, only to see the man holding a gun and pointing it at him.
At the same time, a large number of police officers emerged from behind nearby vehicles, shouting, "Hands behind your head, squat down!"
James was completely bewildered. What was going on? Why were there so many police officers?
Oh right, and there's Rambowen, damn it, he's a cop.
At that moment, James was torn between resisting and surrendering. Looking at the hundreds of police officers around him, he knew that the chances of breaking out were slim, and the exit was likely to be blocked.
It seems that surrendering is the only option left now.
Anyway, there is no death penalty in Hong Kong, and since we haven't had a chance to do anything yet, it seems like the crime isn't serious.
Thinking of this, James decisively put his hands on his head and said, "I surrender, don't shoot!" Then he obediently squatted down.
Seeing his action, the people behind him exchanged glances and also squatted down.
There's no way around it. Although they used to be very powerful, they're all getting old now and haven't fought in many years. Following Mr. Dong, they enjoy good food and drink every day and live a life of leisure. Who would want to die?
Previously, those who did the work were all people from the Demao Group. The power under Lan Bowen and Shao Zhilang was built up through life and death, while Mr. Dong bought it with money.
