Chapter 040 Revenge
It was already 8:40 p.m., less than half an hour before the time Chen Piao had agreed to meet.
Liu Jianming remained calm and went to a public phone booth downstairs in the apartment building, where he dropped in a coin.
After dialing Zhang Wenyao's number, he couldn't help but light a cigarette to calm his excited emotions.
"Feed?"
The call was answered quickly, and Zhang Wenyao's dry voice immediately came through the receiver.
"Inspector Cheung, are you off work yet? It's me, Lau Kin-ming from the Intelligence Division."
"It's Officer Liu. With so many cases, how could you possibly be off work?"
"By the way, what's up with calling me so late?"
Upon hearing that it was Liu Jianming calling, Zhang Wenyao's tone became much more relaxed.
Everyone knows that the intelligence department has produced a prodigy in the past two years, especially their major crimes unit, which has obtained countless intelligence reports from Liu Jianming.
Liu Jianming didn't stand on ceremony; after exchanging greetings, he got straight to the point.
"Officer Zhang, I've found a lead in a big case. Would it be convenient for us to meet for a few minutes?"
"What, is there any progress in the Sha Tin flight attendant's body dissolution case?"
"Even bigger than the body-dissolving case was the Bank of America armored truck robbery that happened in Central six months ago!"
"Cough cough—"
Sure enough, after Liu Jianming mentioned the armored truck robbery that happened six months ago, Zhang Wenyao seemed to choke on something and burst into a violent cough.
The intelligence department is best at reading people's expressions and reactions. Seeing Zhang Wenyao's reaction, Liu Jianming had a general idea of what was going on.
"Officer Zhang, what's wrong?"
"No...it's nothing. I was drinking tea just now, and I got so excited when I heard that you found a clue about the armored truck robbery that I accidentally choked!"
By the way... what clues did you find?
"I learned from an informant that the gang of robbers who escaped six months ago have returned."
You've been overseeing this case, Inspector Cheung, so the first thing I thought of doing was to inform you.
"By the way, Inspector Cheung, should I report this to the police force now? If the intelligence is correct, we can coordinate with other departments to make the arrest tonight!"
"No! Please don't!"
Without a second thought, Zhang Wenyao rejected Liu Jianming's proposal.
This was exactly what Lau Kin-ming wanted, but he pretended not to understand.
"These robbers are extremely vicious. Now that we've gotten wind of them, we must take them down in one fell swoop!"
"Officer Cheung, why don't we say hello to Chief Executive and the others?"
"Jianming, listen to me!"
In desperation, Zhang Wenyao fabricated a story.
"Everyone knows that I was in charge of this case at the time, and these thieves got away. For the past six months, I haven't been able to hold my head up in the police force!"
Furthermore, think about it carefully: how many people in the entire police force are currently monitoring this case?
Jianming, even if I don't consider avenging myself, shouldn't you think about your future?
Working in conjunction with other departments will take away the credit that should rightfully be yours!
Working in the police force also requires a certain level of social etiquette, and Zhang Wenyao's explanation, while seemingly logical, is still plausible.
He never imagined that this was a trap set for him by Liu Jianming.
Liu Jianming hesitated for a long time before answering in a troubled tone.
"Okay, Officer Cheung, I'm meeting with my informant in North Point right now."
If you have some free time, please hurry to the Lawson Cafe on Java Road so we can discuss our plans!
"Okay, I'm coming right away!"
Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, Liu Jianming couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
He didn't need to worry about what happened next. When he left work today, he deliberately planted a miniature listening device behind Zhang Wenyao's collar under the pretense of delivering materials.
Given Zhang Wenyao's current urgency, Liu Jianming didn't believe he had time to change his clothes.
……
In North Point, on the waterfront promenade of the Eastern Corridor, an inconspicuous bread truck is parked on the side of the road.
Inside the car sat three men and one woman; two were smoking, and the other two were engrossed in eating a plate of stir-fried beef noodles.
These four were the four survivors of the Seven Sons of Heaven – Tian Yangsheng, Tian Yangyi, Tian Yangzhi, and Tian Yangen.
The eldest brother, Tian Yangsheng, sat in the driver's seat, threw away his cigarette butt, and turned to look at Tian Yangyi in the passenger seat.
"Ah Yi, put out your cigarette. You have to meet with Zhang Wenyao later. Smoking too much is bad for your lungs!"
Tian Yangyi immediately threw away his cigarette butt and nodded to Tian Yangsheng.
Raising his wrist to glance at his watch, Tian Yangsheng began issuing orders to his brothers.
"Listen, whether Tiger Cub is lying to us or not, we're going to take the gamble tonight."
Our photos are plastered all over the police stations on Hong Kong Island. When you see Cheung Man-yiu, don't make a scene. Get him in the car first, then we'll deal with him slowly!
As he spoke, Tian Yangsheng turned to look at the two siblings in the back seat.
"You should remember what Zhang Wenyao looks like, right?"
wow-
A lunchbox was overturned, and Tian Yangzhi, sitting in the back seat, was almost bursting with anger.
"Back at the docks, I clearly saw him direct the police to shoot and kill us. I'll never forget him, even if he turns to ashes!"
Recalling the tragic deaths of his brothers at the Sai Wan pier, Tin Yeung Yan put down the lunchbox in his hand, took out a Black Star pistol from his waist, and silently loaded the magazine.
Tian Yangsheng remained as calm as ever.
"Put the gun away!"
Tian Yangen paused for a moment, but didn't say anything more, and put the gun back behind his waist.
"We will avenge our grievances, and we will also get our hands on the money we risked our lives for!"
I don't want you to live this kind of nomadic life anymore. No matter how upset you are, you have to listen to my orders and do what I say. Do you understand?!
Tian Yangsheng's tone was firm and unwavering, and the three siblings all nodded in unison.
"Alright, Ah Yi, go ahead and scout ahead. If Zhang Wenyao comes alone, notify us immediately to come and get him!"
After a quick setup, Tian Yangsheng immediately started the vehicle.
The van made a U-turn a short distance away and headed straight for Java Road.
At this moment, Zhang Wenyao had already arrived at the coffee shop.
He searched everywhere, but could not find Liu Jianming.
She wanted to call Liu Jianming, but realized that in the past, whenever she needed information, she would directly communicate with the intelligence department through the office landline, or Liu Jianming would call her on his own initiative.
He didn't have Liu Jianming's number saved at all!
Left with no other choice, Zhang Wenyao ordered a cup of coffee, found a random seat, and waited for Liu Jianming to arrive.
"Sir, is that car by the door yours?"
No one knows how long Liu Jianming waited, but instead of Liu Jianming, Tian Yangyi, disguised as a parking attendant, found Zhang Wenyao.
With just a sidelong glance at Tian Yangyi, Zhang Wenyao casually pulled out his identification.
"I have official business to attend to, I'll be leaving in a bit!"
Tian Yangyi glanced at the document immediately. He didn't see any other information, but he could clearly see the three big characters "Zhang Wenyao" on the document!
A surge of nameless rage rushed to Tian Yangyi's head, and he almost lost control of himself.
After taking a deep breath and calming down a bit, Tian Yangyi forced a smile.
"Excuse me, I'm blocking other customers' cars. Could you please move your car? It'll be quick!"
"You parking attendants are always causing trouble! What are you standing there for? Lead the way!"
Helpless, Zhang Wenyao had no choice but to get up and urge Tian Yangyi to take him to move the car.
