Chapter 51 Preparing to Take Revenge on Boss Li
As May drew to a close, a restless atmosphere permeated Hong Kong. The strikes and demonstrations in the streets had long since evolved from protests by individual factories into a storm sweeping across the entire city. Larger streets were completely blocked by marchers, whose banners gleamed blindingly in the blazing sun, and slogans echoed through the concrete jungle.
Lin Zhou stood at his window, his fingertips lightly tracing the cold glass, his gaze fixed on the chaotic streets below. He clearly remembered that, based on his understanding from his previous life, this turmoil was far from reaching its peak; the real chaos wouldn't erupt until July. At that time, the stock market would crash, panic would grip the people, and countless wealthy individuals would sell their assets overnight, fleeing this land they once considered a blessed place with their gold and silver, seeking refuge in Europe and America.
And one of the instigators of all this, Boss Li, is probably sitting in his comfortable villa right now, plotting when to slip away.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhou's eyes suddenly turned cold. In his past life, this Boss Li had amassed his fortune through scheming and manipulation, stepping on the blood and tears of countless people. Even after causing such a huge uproar, he still emerged unscathed, and later enjoyed smooth sailing all the way to the throne of Hong Kong's richest man, living a life of unparalleled glory. But those ordinary people who lost their livelihoods and families in the turmoil could only struggle bitterly at the bottom of society, ignored and forgotten.
Now that Lin Zhou has come into this world, he will never let Boss Li get away so easily.
"You have to pay the price for your mistakes," Lin Zhou muttered to himself, his fingertips leaving a faint mark on the glass. "Trying to run away? Not so easy."
The idea of revenge wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thought. Ever since Lin Zhou transmigrated and learned about Boss Li's background, this idea had taken root and sprouted in his heart like a seed. Now, the time was ripe. The strike and demonstrations had attracted the attention of all of Hong Kong, and the police and all sectors of society were focused on the chaos in the streets. It was the perfect opportunity to take action.
Without hesitation, Lin Zhou immediately dialed Zhonghua Security. After the call connected, Lin Zhou had someone call Zhao Jianjun to answer the phone. Soon after, Zhao Jianjun's steady and powerful voice came through the line: "Boss, what's the matter?"
"Brother Zhao, do me a favor." Lin Zhou's voice was calm but carried an undeniable determination. "Check the whereabouts and address of Boss Li from the plastic flower factory. The more detailed the better, especially his usual security arrangements. There can't be any omissions."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jianjun didn't ask any further questions. He knew Lin Zhou's style well; if he had spoken, it must be something important. "Understood, boss. I'll take some people to investigate right away and guarantee you an answer within three days."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Lin Zhou hung up the phone and turned his gaze back to the window. He knew Zhao Jianjun's capabilities. This man, who had once been a reconnaissance soldier, was always reliable and dependable. Moreover, he had a group of experienced comrades under his command. Finding someone's whereabouts and address was not a difficult task for them.
Just as Lin Zhou had predicted, Zhao Jianjun immediately took action, bringing along his two most trusted comrades, Wang Yong and Zhang Meng. Like Zhao Jianjun, Wang Yong was a former reconnaissance soldier, skilled in tracking, infiltration, and intelligence gathering. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, able to capture the most subtle clues in complex environments. Zhang Meng, on the other hand, was a combat expert, a former champion in the military's combat competition. He was agile, possessed astonishing explosive power, and had a calm and decisive personality, making him an excellent action partner.
The three had a clear division of labor: Wang Yong was responsible for frontal tracking and observation, Wang Meng provided cover from the shadows, and Zhao Jianjun was in charge of the rear, analyzing and organizing information and formulating tracking plans.
On the first day, the three drove to the vicinity of the Central office building where Boss Li frequented to stake out the area. Around 10 a.m., three black sedans slowly drove out of the office building's underground parking garage; the license plates matched those of Boss Li's vehicles. Wang Yong immediately started his car and followed at a safe distance, maintaining a safe distance so as not to be noticed by the other party while clearly knowing their driving route.
The car drove south, eventually entering the Deep Water Bay villa district. This is a gathering place for Hong Kong's wealthy, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with beautiful scenery. Each villa has its own spacious courtyard and tight security. The car stopped in front of a large white villa. Two tall, well-dressed bodyguards stood at the gate, their waists bulging, clearly armed. Surrounded by bodyguards, Mr. Li slowly walked into the villa without looking back.
Wang Yong parked his car in a secluded corner outside the villa area and carefully observed the layout of the villa through binoculars. The villa had three floors, with white marble exterior walls and a roof covered with red tiles. The courtyard was filled with lush greenery, which blocked much of the view. In addition to the two bodyguards at the gate, servants and gardeners were busy in the courtyard.
Over the next two days, Zhao Jianjun and his two companions took turns staking out and monitoring Boss Li's movements in a comprehensive manner. They discovered that Boss Li's life was extremely regular; he rarely went out. He spent most of his time in the villa, and when he did go out, it was either to visit those foreign officials, to give gifts and cultivate relationships, or to handle urgent matters at the company.
Every time Boss Li went out, his entourage was enormous. Besides his own sedan, two black Mercedes-Benzes followed in front and behind, each carrying several bodyguards in matching black suits and sunglasses, their expressions serious and vigilant as they observed their surroundings. Each trip involved a different route taken by the convoy, and they traveled at extremely high speeds, making it virtually impossible to launch an attack en route.
"Boss, that's the situation." On the third night, Zhao Jianjun arrived at Lin Zhou's residence with the compiled information. "Boss Li lives in Villa No. 18 in Deep Water Bay. There are at least eight bodyguards in the villa, and the security is very tight. He rarely goes out, and when he does, he always brings a large number of bodyguards. It would be extremely difficult to make a move outside."
Zhao Jianjun handed Lin Zhou a detailed document, which included not only the layout of the villa and the bodyguards' shift change times, but also Boss Li's travel routes and routines, and even the locations of the servants' residences around the villa were clearly marked.
Lin Zhou carefully reviewed the documents, his brow furrowed slightly. It had to be said, Boss Li's security measures were indeed airtight; there was virtually no chance of breaking through from the outside. Even if Zhao Jianjun and his two companions joined forces, they would find it difficult to gain an advantage against such tight security, and might even alert the enemy.
"What's the situation inside the villa?" Lin Zhou asked, looking up.
"The situation inside is still unclear." Zhao Jianjun shook his head helplessly. "The villa's walls are very high and equipped with electric fences, so we can't get close. However, based on our observations, the villa's lights stay on until around 2 a.m. before gradually going out, which means Boss Li is probably resting."
Lin Zhou nodded without speaking, his fingers tapping lightly on the documents as he fell into deep thought.
If we can't get things done from the outside, should we just give up?
of course not.
Lin Zhou raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes. After transmigrating, his home from his previous life became his personal space, allowing him not only to return and store his belongings from this life, but also to continuously strengthen his body. After such a long period of strengthening, his physique had reached two to three times that of an ordinary person; his strength, speed, and endurance far surpassed those of ordinary people, and even his senses had become exceptionally sharp. To him, night was almost indistinguishable from daytime.
Given his physical condition, ordinary security measures would likely be insufficient to contain him.
"Brother Zhao, thank you for your hard work. I'll handle the rest myself," Lin Zhou said, looking up at Zhao Jianjun.
Zhao Jianjun was taken aback and quickly said, "Boss, this is too dangerous! Boss Li's villa is full of bodyguards. If you go in alone and something happens..."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Don't you know my capabilities? If I want to leave, they can't stop me." Lin Zhou interrupted him, his tone firm. "You've already investigated everything you needed to. Leave the rest to me."
Seeing the confident look in Lin Zhou's eyes, Zhao Jianjun knew he had made up his mind, and further words would be pointless. "Boss, please be extra careful. If anything happens, call us immediately."
"Okay." Lin Zhou nodded, put the documents away, and said, "You don't need to worry too much. I'm just going to 'visit' Boss Li. It won't cause too much of a commotion."
That night, the night was as dark as ink, without a single star, only the distant neon lights of the city sketching blurry outlines in the darkness. The Deep Water Bay villa district was shrouded in silence, broken only by the occasional bark of a dog.
