Starting from floating in Hong Kong

Chapter 291 Undersea Tunnel
In the underground garage of HSBC Bank.

A medium-sized truck reversed slowly and stopped in front of the elevator.

A circle of security guards and special agents with live ammunition stood around the truck, on tight alert.

The elevator door opened slowly, and under the personal supervision of the bank manager and directors, porters used carts to transport the heavy gold nuggets out.

Richard, smoking a cigarette, stood by and watched the bank staff count the gold pieces and load them into the car.

The heavy gold nuggets made the truck so short that it was visible to the naked eye, making a "creaking" sound, which made people worry that the car would fall apart.

The executive director of the bank walked up to Richard, "Officer, when will you be able to solve the case? We have suffered a huge loss this time. We were robbed by gangsters of more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is the most serious case since the opening of Hong Kong Island."

"More than 20 billion?" Richard glanced at them, "Have you counted it?"

"Of course, a total of 21 billion, we have all records." The bank manager said confidently, "I can show it to you."

"The police are responsible for solving the case." Richard sneered, "The robbers are not under our control."

Richard is really too lazy to deal with the people in these banks, more than 20 billion?

You guys really dare to say it.

The entire Asia-Pacific communication center was surrounded by the police so tight that not even a fly could fly out. How could more than 20 billion banknotes disappear?

The gangsters have all been killed, and only more than 2 million banknotes were found at the scene.

But Richard doesn't care about things here at all. His most important task now is to transport the gold away.

The manager and executive director of the bank looked at each other in blank dismay, but feared by SB's coercion, they didn't dare to say anything more.

Watching the last piece of treasury put into the carriage, the SB agent immediately closed the carriage door and put the lock on it.

"Sir, the gold has been loaded." The agent reported to Richard with a serious face, "A total of fifteen tons of gold have been counted."

Richard threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot, and exhaled, "Let the first bait convoy go first."

"Yes, sir!"

An empty truck slowly drove out of the underground garage, followed by a car and disappeared into the night street.

"We're leaving in 5 minutes." Richard looked at his subordinates, "Has the armored vehicle arrived yet?"

"It has arrived at the designated place as planned."

Richard nodded, turned around and walked towards his Mercedes.

As soon as he opened the car door, the executive director of the bank hurriedly stopped Richard.

"Mr. Richard River, wait a moment, don't leave." The executive director of the board of directors said anxiously, "Have you signed yet?"

"Sign? What are you signing?" Richard frowned, and impatiently waved away the executive director, "Don't interfere with official business."

"It's not...Mr. Rui Wo, police officer, you haven't signed the gold transfer formalities yet?" There were beads of sweat on the executive director's forehead.

"None of my business." Richard glared at him.

What a joke, how can such a thing be signed?

The transfer of gold and foreign exchange reserves is a secret operation, and no evidence can be left for this matter.

The executive director's face changed immediately, and he rushed to the front of the truck, and stopped the convoy with his hand, "Stop! No one is allowed to leave without signing!"

The bank manager also reacted and immediately shouted, "Security! Close the gate!"

The door of the underground garage was slowly lowered, and the security guards looked at each other with some hesitation, and the atmosphere at the scene fell into a weird silence.

The agents stood in their positions with guns in their hands, expressionless, waiting for Richard's order.

Richard sneered, "Get out of the way."

The executive director roared, "I won't get out of the way, you don't want to take away a piece of gold if you don't sign, this is my duty!"

I can't afford this pot.

All the gold is stored here by the Financial Management Bureau. What if they are taken away by such ignorance, and the Financial Management Bureau asks them for gold?
"We still have [-] tons in the vault. Even if you take the [-] tons by force, you don't want to take away the rest." The executive director sternly shouted, "I'll find a reporter to expose you immediately."

Richard frowned, "The Monetary Authority has agreed for us to take away the gold."

"Then you have to sign!" The executive director refused to give an inch, "Either you ask the president of the HKMA to come and sign, or I will never let you go!"

Richard's face darkened immediately, because he knew that the president of the HKMA would not come to sign.

Although they acquiesce in the transfer of foreign exchange reserves and gold, they dare not admit it openly unless the governor authorizes it.

But the governor will never come forward to do such a thing, although this matter cannot be separated from the governor's vigorous mediation.

Without the help of the Governor, the Financial Secretary and the Monetary Authority will not let them do this.

This is a big scandal.

Then this is very embarrassing. If everyone doesn't want to take the blame, things can't be done.

Richard raised his wrist to look at the time, waved his hand, "Do it!"

Agent SB swoops in, grabs the executive director of HSBC and pushes him aside.

Just as the executive director wanted to resist, he was pointed at his head with a gun.

"Open the door!"

The agents quickly controlled the security guards and reopened the door to the underground garage.

The truck engine started and rushed out of the garage door quickly, followed by several cars.

The bank manager of the fleet looked panic-stricken, "Director, what should I do?"

"Go to the surveillance room and make a few copies of the surveillance tapes!" The executive director said through gritted teeth, "Leave evidence!"

"I'll report to the chairman immediately!"

……

After leaving HSBC, the gold convoy turned around and joined another convoy on Gloucester Road.

There were two trucks in the convoy, and they were full of greenbacks, totaling $30 billion.

This is the first batch that the transfer program will ship.

Richard looked at the other two joining trucks, and then he felt relieved a little, and picked up the walkie-talkie, "Attention everyone, take the Hung Hom Submarine Tunnel according to the original plan."

"Yes, sir!"

The convoy ran all the way, and there were hardly any cars on the streets of Hong Kong Island in the early morning.

This made the route of the convoy escorting the gold and dollar bills so smooth that it didn't even take half the time for planning.

"Decoy convoy report."

Richard picked up the walkie-talkie, "What's going on ahead."

"Everything is normal! The traffic police have set up guide vehicles in the tunnel, and our department is unimpeded! Our department is unimpeded!"

Richard breathed a sigh of relief, "Very well, continue to the Shigang barracks according to the original plan."

He raised his wrist and looked at the time. According to the plan, there was a 5-minute interval between the two teams. Now his team was obviously 3 minutes faster.

"Slow down in the tunnel ahead and let the decoy convoy go first."

The convoy slowly drove into the tunnel. At this time, the tunnel was so empty that no car could be seen.

Richard suddenly felt something was wrong, he picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to say something.

At this moment, a truck suddenly appeared in front of the team and slammed into the convoy head-on.

Richard's pupils dilated quickly, and he looked at the rampaging motorcade in shock.

A long steel ram was added to the front of the truck, which directly overturned the car that was clearing the way.

The car rolled and spun several times in the air and fell to the side.

The truck deftly bypassed the three trucks in the convoy and crashed into the escort car behind.
