"Well, that's fine too."
Li Wentian nodded slowly, also a little afraid that Li Xiaotian might have left some kind of 'weapon of mass destruction' for his son.
“Avi, since we’re going to go sooner or later anyway, why don’t we go today?”
Even though Li Zetian had strong self-control, he was still very nervous when he said those words.
"Okay, Fourth Uncle."
Li Guowei, without any suspicion, smiled and nodded in agreement.
'Hu~'
At this moment, Li Zetian took a deep breath, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes that was hard to detect.
Then, he said with a smile, "Second Brother, Avi, I'm going to the restroom. Wait for me."
A few minutes later.
In a deserted corner of the Hysan Building, Li Zetian took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"Brother Jun, it's me."
After the call connected, Li Zetian spoke.
"Li Laosi, you must have some good news to tell me, right?"
Li Jun said to Li Zetian with a smile.
"I'm going to the HSBC headquarters vault with my second brother and nephew in a bit."
Li Zetian said slowly.
"Alright, then congratulations in advance, Patriarch Li."
On the other end of the phone, Li Jun smiled slightly and then hung up.
Then, Li Jun picked up the satellite phone next to him and dialed a number.
"Ahua, notify everyone, the operation is about to begin."
After the call connected, Li Jun spoke calmly.
The $3000 million worth of weaponry for this operation included not only "tallmouth" bombs, but also a large number of Uzi submachine guns and ammunition. These short-barreled submachine guns can be perfectly concealed inside clothing.
Besides the guns and bombs, the most expensive item was a CIA-made tracker, the one Li Zetian had. This little gadget could send signals to a data receiver within 5000 meters, and the signal was so strong that it could even penetrate 20 meters of reinforced concrete.
Li Zetian, who held this thing, was Li Jun's "lighthouse," helping Li Jun locate the HSBC bank vault and pointing him in the right direction.
"understand!"
Upon hearing Li Jun's words, Ahua responded on the other end of the phone.
after an hour.
HSBC Building, 1 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong Island.
整座建筑有46层楼面及4层地库，总高180米，用钢30,000公吨及铝4,500公吨建成，刚刚落成不到2年。
This HSBC building is actually HSBC's fourth-generation headquarters building, costing $10 billion.
It is currently the most expensive building in the world and the first building to cost $10 billion.
At the entrance of this HSBC building stands a bronze statue of Thomas Sutherland, the founder of HSBC. This statue of the foreigner, located in the most bustling center of Hong Kong Island, seems to be overlooking the entire island.
In fact, the history of HSBC is a history of blood and tears in Hong Kong and China.
This bank has reached its current size purely by exploiting Chinese people.
In recent years, they have begun to support figures like Li Bancheng, hoping to continue to exploit Hong Kong and its Chinese community in order to maintain their control over Hong Kong's financial sector.
At this moment, inside the HSBC building, a senior bank manager is leading Li Zetian, Li Wentian, and Li Guowei into the HSBC vault where high-net-worth clients store their private items.
Of course, this vault is not the one used to store bank cash, but rather a vault used to store safe deposit boxes leased by high-end clients.
However, banks usually build these vaults together for security reasons.
"Gentlemen, Mr. Li Xiaotian has leased eight safe deposit boxes from HSBC. Do you intend to withdraw all of them?"
Just as the senior HSBC manager was professionally explaining things to Li Zetian, Li Wentian, and Li Guowei, a large number of men in overcoats with expressionless faces appeared outside the HSBC bank.
'Squeak~'
'Squeak~'
……
A cargo van parked directly in front of the HSBC headquarters building, and more than a dozen cars parked on Queen's Road Central near the HSBC building, blocking this central road in Hong Kong Island.
Subsequently, nearly a hundred expressionless men stormed into the HSBC building.
"Da da da~"
After a burst of intense gunfire, all of the dozen or so Indian security guards at HSBC were killed.
However, they also bought the bank staff time to call the police.
To the bank employees' surprise, the robbers did not target the tellers at their counters, but instead headed straight downstairs.
"what's the situation?"
An HSBC employee who was lying under the counter heard that there was no more movement outside the counter and cautiously asked his colleague next to him.
Her colleague closed her eyes and shook her head frantically.
Seeing her colleague's reaction, the employee curiously stuck her head out from behind the counter to see what was happening. However, what she saw made her eyes widen suddenly, her pupils contract sharply, and she instantly shrank back under the counter, trembling.
"Amei, what's wrong?"
When Amei's colleague saw that she was so frightened, he quickly asked her what was wrong.
"What a huge, huge bomb..."
Ah Mei felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about the bomb that was carried in by nearly 20 people.
Meanwhile, inside the vault of HSBC.
“Gentlemen, these are the eight safe deposit boxes that Mr. Li Xiaotian has stored in our HSBC bank. Here are the keys; you can open them here.”
After retrieving the safe, the senior manager of HSBC led Li Wentian, Li Zetian, and Li Guowei to a room inside the vault. After speaking to the three of them with a smile, he turned and left the room.
"Avi, you drive."
Li Zetian felt his heart pounding like a deer. While keeping an eye on the sounds outside the room, he smiled and said to Li Guowei.
'Da da da da da~'
While Li Zetian was extremely nervous, the 'veteran of a hundred battles' had already stormed into the HSBC bank vault located underground. After quickly killing the guards, he put the body into the safe deposit box on the first basement level.
Clearly, like most banks, HSBC placed its vaults underground.
It's not because of underground security, but because underground we can confidently pour a sufficiently thick layer of reinforced concrete, along with a sturdy enough door, to protect the vault.
Of course, no designer of any bank building could have imagined that a madman would buy a $2000 million bomb to blow up a bank vault.
"Fourth Uncle, besides cash, jewelry, gold bars, and land deeds, there's nothing else special in the safe. Didn't Dad tell you what he put here at HSBC?"
Inside the vault room, Li Guowei, who had already opened all eight safes, looked at his fourth uncle, Li Zetian, and asked with a puzzled expression.
“Avi, how could my brother tell me this? Why don’t you look for it again more carefully?”
Li Zetian forced a smile and answered.
At the same time, he prayed frantically in his heart, hoping that Li Jun's men would arrive soon.
"There's nothing special about it..."
'Da da da da da~'
Just as Li Guowei was about to search again, a gunshot rang out to Li Zetian, Li Wentian, and Li Guowei.
·· ······ 0
Upon hearing the gunshots, Li Zetian, Li Wentian, and Li Guowei's expressions changed drastically. However, Li Wentian and Li Guowei were shocked, while Li Zetian was delighted.
0 “Fourth Uncle, what does that expression mean?”
Because Li Zetian stopped pretending, Li Guowei immediately noticed his unusual behavior.
"Da da da~"
The gunshots grew closer. Li Guowei didn't speak, but pushed open the door and shouted, "I am Li Zetian."
Li Jun has given these "battle veterans" orders that, apart from Li Zetian, even a live fly in the vault must be killed.
"Fourth Uncle, you..."
"Fourth brother, you..."
Seeing the man with a cold expression, holding a Uzi submachine gun, who was almost at the room, Li Wentian and Li Guowei shouted loudly at Li Zetian.
'Da da da da da~'
A gunshot interrupted Li Wentian and Li Guowei's shouts, leaving Li Zetian standing at the doorway, looking at the corpses of his second brother and nephew. His face showed no fear, only ecstatic joy.
Li Zetian understood that from this moment on, he was the head of the Li family.
However, Li Zetian soon lay down on the ground pretending to be dead, while secretly watching Li Jun's men go on a killing spree in the vault. He wanted to see what Li Jun's men were going to do next.
