739: Chapter 731: The Second Step 739: Chapter 731: The Second Step Gao Yang gave a signal with his eyes, instructing Eileen to follow Li Jinfang.
He then quickly got up and left the iron cage.
Amid the fearful gazes of the prisoners, he closed the door of the cage, locked it, took the key, and hurriedly caught up with Li Jinfang.
Rees continued to look at Li Jinfang with a complex expression.
When Gao Yang returned the keys to Rees, who struck a pose and said in a low voice, “Chinese kungfu?”
Gao Yang nodded his head and said, “Kungfu.”
Rees observed Li Jinfang’s back with a gaze of reverence, murmuring something.
Eileen heard it and relayed to Gao Yang, “He said it’s indeed Huaxia Kung Fu.
That’s what they all guessed.”
Rees didn’t say much more, but when they reached the main hall, Gao Yang was shocked to discover that it was almost full of police officers.
Rees also looked surprised.
Gao Yang was afraid that something unexpected had happened, but seeing that the police officers in the hall weren’t making any extra movements, just standing on both sides and gesticulating at Li Jinfang, Gao Yang realized these people had received the news and come to see the excitement.
Moreover, they could also make some extra money on the side.
Seeing Li Jinfang was worth five hundred dollars, and not seeing him was worth two hundred.
When Rees was about to escort Gao Yang and his group to the exit, he hesitated for a moment and then whispered, “It’s time to settle the money now.
It should have been two thousand two, but now you’ll have to pay five thousand five since everyone is here and they’ve all seen you.”
Gao Yang spread his hands, not minding the extra three thousand dollars.
He took out a stack of money, counted it in front of Rees, and after confirming it was five thousand, Gao Yang added another thousand.
The extra was a tip for Rees.
Seeing Rees counting the money and understanding what Gao Yang meant, a smile appeared on his face.
After putting away the money, he gave Gao Yang a thumbs-up and then went back into the police station’s main hall.
Gao Yang returned to the car, and at that moment, the middle-aged man who had been a hostage didn’t utter a word; he just got out of the car and left.
Their transaction was thus concluded.
After starting the car, Gao Yang let out a sigh of relief and said, “It’s over, I really didn’t think it’d be so simple.”
Eileen shook her head and pouted, “It’s so dark, but I like it.”
Glolov said in a muffled voice, “This is nothing.
Going to places like Congo-Kinshasa or Sierra Leone for business is even more straightforward and cheaper.
You can solve the same problem for just one thousand dollars without having to get your hands dirty.”
Without saying anything, Gao Yang called Little Donnie.
After listening to Little Donnie say a few words, he immediately hung up and said softly, “We’ve regrouped with Little Donnie.
They’re all at the beach.
Now, we’ll head there too.”
The people who had set out earlier to get the equipment had already joined Little Donnie.
Now, Gao Yang and his group just needed to go to the beach and pick up the guns to proceed with the second step of the plan.
Walking in silence for about fifteen minutes, Gao Yang’s phone rang.
He answered and then said in a serious tone, “I’m with Toad right now.
We still have things to do.
You don’t need to get involved this time.
You better find a way to clean up this mess.
It’s not a small one.
Toad will go directly with us, but after all, it involves your company’s affairs.
You need to handle it properly to avoid any trouble.”
Hearing Gao Yang speak, Li Jinfang suddenly asked, “Is it the Bull Demon King?”
Gao Yang looked at Li Jinfang and said, “Yes, it’s Li Pengfei.”
Li Jinfang extended his hand and said, “Give me the phone, let me talk to him.”
Gao Yang handed the phone to Li Jinfang, who, after hesitating for a moment, suddenly said, “I’m sorry.”
Li Pengfei had already disembarked from the plane; he didn’t have the use of a private plane.
After several transfers, he finally arrived in Pointe Noire and immediately called Gao Yang upon landing.
Gao Yang did not know what Li Pengfei said on the phone, but watching Li Jinfang’s expression hesitating for a long time, he finally said in a serious tone, “Okay, let’s meet.”
After returning the phone to Gao Yang, Li Jinfang said earnestly, “Brother Yang, you tell Li Pengfei where to meet.”
Without saying much, Gao Yang understood why Li Pengfei was eager to meet Li Jinfang and told Li Pengfei the meeting location.
Then he hung up the phone.
Gao Yang and his group arrived at the designated meeting point, a small dock not too far from the port.
Little Donnie, along with two others, was waiting on a speedboat at the dock.
When Gao Yang and his people arrived, the equipment had already been unloaded from the boat.
Seeing Li Jinfang, Little Donnie didn’t say much, just hugged him tightly and then patted his shoulder, saying solemnly, “Buddy, take heart.
Now what you need to do is grab a gun and take revenge.”
After comforting Li Jinfang, Little Donnie looked at Gao Yang and said, “Everything that needed to be delivered has been brought here.
Take a look at what you need, and I’ll haul away the rest.
Also, I should start preparing for your evacuation route.”
Gao Yang nodded, “We should indeed make early preparations.
Congo-Brazzaville is not our home turf, so it’s better to be extra cautious.”
Pointing to a pile of long storage boxes on the ground, Little Donnie said, “Which one is yours?
I’ve brought all your guns.
You said to prepare for a protracted fight, so I brought a lot of ammo, plenty of grenades, but only two directional mines.
Also, there are not many rocket launchers, only six AT-4s.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “That’s enough.
The situation is clear now, and it’s uncertain how long the fight will last, but it shouldn’t be too lengthy.
At least, we need to strive for a quick resolution.”
After finishing his words, Gao Yang waved his hand, “First, pick out the weapons you’ll use and get ready.
Once the Bull Demon King and his group arrive, we’ll leave.”
Little Donnie asked curiously, “Someone else is coming?”
Gao Yang nodded toward Li Jinfang, who was loading magazines onto his body after opening a box, and said, “His old war buddies.”
Little Donnie let out a sigh, “It’s unbelievably tough.
How did Toad end up in this situation, sigh.”
Gao Yang also sighed deeply, then opened a box.
All his main weapons were inside: the Blade of Satan, the shotgun that Jack had recently modified for him, and his primary handgun.
First, Gao Yang put on his combat vest, then picked a holster for his pistol to strap onto his thigh.
After inserting the handgun into the holster, he finally felt somewhat reassured.
Gao Yang thought his main weapon should be the shotgun, but as expected, when he raised the shotgun with his injured left hand, the pain in his wrist significantly affected his ability to hold the gun, not to mention the recoil when firing, which would surely impact his left hand even more.
Though the shotgun could be propped on his arm for emergency shooting, that was only a last resort.
With Gao Yang’s shooting style, it was impossible to choose such a shooting method that couldn’t guarantee precision or rate of fire.
Enduring the pain, he racked the shotgun a few times before reluctantly giving up on the idea of using the shotgun.
After shaking his head at everyone, Gao Yang said dejectedly, “Guys, I can’t use the shotgun.
This damn wrist is definitely going to affect my tactical movements.”
Reluctantly abandoning the idea of carrying the shotgun, Gao Yang slung his rifle over his shoulder.
Although his injured left hand also made shooting with the rifle awkward, he could still serve as a marksman or sniper, even if his rate of fire would definitely be impacted.
Since the shotgun was no longer an option, his primary weapon for close combat became his pistol.
After some thought, Gao Yang decided to carry all of his pistol magazines — a total of ten, plus the one already in his gun, which was eleven.
Moreover, his pistol was the kind that could hold fourteen rounds in a high-capacity magazine.
Carrying so many magazines nearly brought his ammo count up to what Frey carried for his submachine gun.
Filling his combat vest with pistol magazines until it was bulging, and fitting only two rifle magazines, Gao Yang then loaded up on a radio and a night vision device, checked them for power, and inspected all the night vision scopes on the guns.
Within ten minutes, Gao Yang and his team had completed their combat preparations.
On a deserted beach, several men stood silent, armed with guns, each one wearing a black balaclava like a cap, but not yet pulled down over their faces as the operation hadn’t officially started.
The atmosphere was tense.
Even though they felt it was time to set off, Gao Yang had not yet given the order, so no one moved, and everyone just stood quietly.
Gao Yang occasionally glanced at his watch and finally, after waiting for twenty minutes, three people came running swiftly from a distance.
Li Jinfang, with his night vision device, glanced in the direction of the newcomers and said, “The Bull Demon King’s crew has arrived.”
As the approaching figures drew closer, Gao Yang saw that it was Li Pengfei, Xia Chen, and someone he had met before, who had made a very lasting impression—Zheng Aiai.
He also recognized the affectionate nickname associated with the Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan.
When Li Pengfei and the other two reached them and saw how Gao Yang and his team were dressed, no further words were needed.
Li Pengfei simply said, “Toad, are you alright?
Never mind, we can talk later.
What’s important now—whom are we hitting?
Where are we going?
Ram, can we borrow a few sets of gear from you?”
Gao Yang tilted his head and replied, “We have spare weapons.
Choose for yourselves.”
Gazing at Li Jinfang, Li Pengfei let out a sigh and then told Xia Chen and Zheng Aiai, “Say whatever you have to say later.
First, get your gear together.”
After patting Li Jinfang on the shoulder, Xia Chen and Zheng Aiai headed to the weapon crates to select their weapons.
With Cui Bo not arriving and Bruce unable to come, two sets of gear were now available.
Some common electronic equipment, like radios and night vision devices, also had three backups prepared each time in case replacements were needed, so Li Pengfei and his group would not be short of any equipment.
While picking out weapons, Li Pengfei asked Gao Yang, “What kind of fight will it be?”
Gao Yang replied gravely, “Indoor combat.
We’re going to attack a gang boss’s den.
We’re not sure how many people to expect or the specific layout.
Our plan is to break into the boss’s place and capture him alive.
This is very important; he must be taken alive.”(To be continued.
