At 5:30 a.m., the neon lights on Des Voeux Road on Hong Kong Island had not yet gone out.

Three black vans stopped like phantoms at the back door of the Quanji Hotel, and more than a dozen people got out. Although their clothes weren't uniform, each had a strong build and a fierce look.

Evidently, Brother Wei took Qi Yun's instructions seriously and sent his most elite crew.

"Room 4028, two Caucasian targets." As soon as the tattooed leader spoke, everyone quickly rushed in through the back door.

He was the last to enter, retrieving a room card from the flower bed by the door.

Two minutes later, the group gathered outside room 4028. The tattooed man took out the room card and placed it over the sensor, and with a crisp "beep," the door unlocked.

The dozen or so people charged straight into the room.

However, in the next second, an unexpected scene unfolded.

As soon as they rushed in, the guy at the front was hit square in the face by a fist as large as a sandbag. With a muffled thud, he screamed miserably and was sent flying back, nose bleeding, crashing into those behind him, causing them to wobble and fall.

Before anyone could react, a burly Caucasian as large as a tower was already blocking the doorway.

His gaze was cold, and he immediately delivered a fierce sidekick, sweeping the front row of men off their feet as if they were wooden stakes.

In an instant, more than half of the dozen men lay on the ground, unable to get up, with cries of pain echoing continuously.

Another person darted out from the room—a figure not particularly burly but incredibly nimble. Before the remaining men realized what was happening, two of them staggered back, clutching their chests.

He then ducked low for a sweeping kick, felling another large group.

These two Caucasians were incredibly skilled, striking decisively and swiftly. In just two minutes, no one was left standing in the corridor; all were writhing on the floor, screaming in agony.

After dealing with the men, the two Caucasians quickly disappeared down the corridor.

...

Over ten minutes later, Qi Yun finally received news from Brother Wei.

"Qi old brother, sorry, things went wrong; we didn't catch them."

Hearing this, Qi Yun looked slightly surprised: "What's the situation, Brother Wei?"

"Those two guys are really skilled. My brothers got beaten up by them," Brother Wei sounded somewhat frustrated, but he continued, "Don't worry, I've already sent people to search for them. As long as they're still on Hong Kong Island, they won't get away!"

Qi Yun was momentarily at a loss for words. He had planned to catch a 9 o'clock flight to Hong Kong Island, but now there was no need.

But since he had asked someone else to help, he had no reason to blame them, even if things went south.

"Are the guys badly hurt?"

Brother Wei sighed: "Not too bad; with a few days' rest, they'll be fine. Those two controlled their strikes, didn't go for the kill."

"They're really strong, and the dozen brothers I sent have all been defeated in under two minutes."

Qi Yun raised an eyebrow, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Two men could take on more than a dozen, resolving it in under two minutes, and still control their strikes; what kind of strength is that?

Getting targeted by such people probably means he'll need to be cautious in the future...

But more unsettling was the fact that those capable of dispatching such people to gather information on him wouldn't be ordinary riffraff.

After a brief silence, Qi Yun spoke again: "As long as the guys are alright, don't take it to heart, Brother Wei."

"I'll transfer five hundred thousand to your account later, just as a compensation for the guys' medical expenses."

Upon hearing this, Brother Wei immediately refused: "Hey, Qi old brother, aren't you embarrassing me, talking about money between friends?"

Qi Yun chuckled: "You misunderstood, Brother Wei. The money isn't for you; it's for the guys who got hurt on my behalf. The medical expenses should naturally be covered by me. Please don't refuse."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end before Brother Wei spoke in a low voice: "Alright, I know you, Qi old brother, are particular about how you do things. Then on behalf of the guys, thank you."

"Haha, no need to thank me, it's the least I can do," Qi Yun replied with a smile. "By the way, Brother Wei, please help me check their registered identity information."

"No problem; I'll send it to you later," Brother Wei readily agreed.

"Good, so I'll stay off Hong Kong Island for now. If you have any news about them, contact me again."

"..."

After ending the call, it wasn't even ten minutes before Qi Yun's phone received two photos and a video from Brother Wei.

The two had used British passports to check in, named "William Hawke" and "James Hunter." Whether these identities were real or fake was unknown.

Just from their appearances, those two seemed like trouble, similar to the aura Chen Wei exuded.

The difference was that these two had even colder eyes.

After looking at their information, Qi Yun opened the video. Based on the angle, it seemed to be surveillance footage from the hotel corridor.

The video content was exactly as Brother Wei described: his men and those two Caucasians fighting. As Brother Wei said, the two were extremely skilled, and his men had almost no chance to counter, it was one-sided crush.

Qi Yun closed the video with a grave expression, his unease growing.

Even though their motives were still unclear, just having the forces behind such figures targeting him gave a chilling sensation, making his heart pound inexplicably.

He stepped outside, opened the door of a BMW 5 Series.

Inside, Chen Wei looked at him suspiciously: "Going out?"

Qi Yun shook his head, took out his phone, and played the video, then handed it over.

Chen Wei stared at the screen, and as the video played slowly, his pupils involuntarily widened.

Only after the video ended did Qi Yun ask: "If you faced those two, would you have confidence?"

Chen Wei didn't answer immediately. He thought for a few seconds and slowly shook his head: "Haven't really fought them, hard to say."

"If there are no weapons, one should be fine, but definitely not two."

Although he still maintained his usual stern appearance, he couldn't hide the seriousness in his eyes.

"What about with Gao Min added?" Qi Yun continued to ask.

Chen Wei still shook his head: "These two are very strong, Gao Min would find them difficult to handle."

Qi Yun felt even more heavy-hearted after hearing this.

He stared at the white belly of the sky and lit a cigarette, pondering countermeasures in his mind.

Although he didn't believe the other party dared to cause trouble domestically, the situation involving his and his family's safety allowed no negligence.

At this moment, Chen Wei suddenly spoke up: "Shall I get two people for you? They just returned from abroad last month."

Qi Yun's eyes brightened upon hearing this, and he quickly turned to ask: "Sure, how's their skill?"

"Better than mine." Chen Wei replied without hesitation, "Gao Min and I specialize in target protection, they are more adept at direct combat."

With Chen Wei vouching for someone, Qi Yun didn't doubt the person's capability, leaving only another requirement.

"Can they be trusted?"

Chen Wei pondered slightly, then remarked: "Five years ago they could be trusted, but now I can't guarantee it, some observation is needed."

Qi Yun frowned slightly upon hearing this: "What's their background?"

"They were former comrades, not from the same unit." Chen Wei replied.

Qi Yun took a couple of puffs of his cigarette and finally nodded: "Alright, contact them. Once the contact is made, wait for my word. I might send them to Hong Kong Island."

Chen Wei nodded: "Okay."

...

10 a.m., in front of the G security office building.

Qi Yun sat in the car and dialed Ge Dabao's number.

"Captain Ge, is it convenient to meet?"

"What's the matter? Did you find anything new?" Ge Dabao asked somewhat excitedly.

Qi Yun gave a wry smile; this guy took him for a crime buster.

"No discoveries, let's talk in person."

"Alright, where are you?"

"I'm right at your office entrance." Qi Yun replied.

Ge Dabao was suspicious: "Then why don't you come to my office?"

"Personal matters, not suitable for the office setting." Qi Yun explained with a light smile, "Let's go to the nearby café."

"Okay, I'm coming down now."

A few minutes later, Qi Yun met with Ge Dabao in the café, they talked for about ten minutes, then parted ways.

Returning to the car, Qi Yun let out a long sigh, visibly feeling much more relaxed.

He took out his phone, intending to call Tao Ziming about company matters, but Brother Hui's call came in first.

"Brother Qi, my people have spotted those two white men in Tsuen Wan. I'm planning to lead a team there myself, we'll definitely catch them for you this time!" Brother Hui said fiercely on the phone.

After the morning's experience, Qi Yun didn't believe Brother Hui's lackeys could handle the men. He wanted to dissuade him but was reluctant to speak up, as it was no longer just his personal matter.

Brother Hui's tone made it clear he lost face, and had to restore it.

At this point, all Qi Yun could do was advise caution...

"Brother Hui, be extremely careful. If necessary, let it go."

"Don't worry!" Brother Hui's voice carried a stubborn resolve, "This time, I'm bringing over a hundred people, even a bear would be exhausted!"

After hanging up the phone, Qi Yun sighed and instructed Chen Wei: "Brother Wei, notify them to head to Hong Kong Island."

"Okay." Chen Wei responded, pulled out his phone, and started contacting.

...

Elsewhere, Zhou Wenbin stood by his office window, looking troubled.

He raised his wrist to check the time and then turned to retrieve an infrequently used phone from his briefcase.

This phone had no stored numbers, he dialed each one manually.

As he dialed the number, the call was quickly connected.

Zhou Wenbin picked up the phone and asked: "Have you received the money?"

"Not yet." The woman on the other end replied.

Zhou Wenbin's eyebrows furrowed, his expression turning grim. He said nothing and hung up the phone, then shouted toward the door: "Secretary Xia."

He was heard, and Secretary Xia soon entered the room.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

Zhou Wenbin nodded slightly: "Go and ask him if yesterday's matter has been handled."

"Okay, sir." Secretary Xia responded and left the office.

As a secretary, it was crucial to understand the mind of a leader, so he naturally knew what Zhou Wenbin wanted him to inquire about.
