A medium-sized truck backed up slowly and stopped in front of the elevator.
A circle of armed security guards and agents stood around the truck, keeping tight vigil.
The elevator door slowly opened, and under the personal supervision of the bank manager and directors, the porters used carts to transport the heavy gold nuggets out.
Richard held a cigarette in his mouth and stood watching the bank staff counting the gold nuggets and loading them into the truck.
The heavy gold nuggets weighed the truck down visibly, making a "crunching" sound, which made people worry that the truck would fall apart.
The executive director of the bank walked up to Richard and said, "Officer, when will you break the bank? Our losses this time are very heavy. More than 2 billion Hong Kong dollars were looted by the gangsters. This is the most serious case since the opening of Hong Kong Island."
Already."

"More than two billion?" Richard glanced at them, "Have you counted it?"
"Of course, we have records of a total of 2.165 billion," the bank manager said confidently, "I can show it to you."
"The police are responsible for breaking the robbers." Richard sneered, "The robbers are not under our control."
Richard is really too lazy to talk to these bank people. More than two billion?
You really dare to say that.
The entire Asia-Pacific Communications Center was surrounded by police, and not even a fly could fly out. How could more than two billion dollars in banknotes disappear?
All the gangsters had been killed, and only more than 200 million in banknotes were found at the scene.
But Richard doesn't care about the 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, but they did not dare to say anything because of SB's power.
After watching the last piece of the vault being put into the carriage, the SB agent immediately closed the carriage door and hung the lock.
"Sir, the gold has been packed." The agent reported to Richard with a serious face, "A total of fifteen tons of gold has been counted."
Richard threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot, exhaled, "Let the first bait convoy set off first."
"yes, sir!"
An empty truck slowly drove out of the underground garage, followed by a car and disappeared into the night streets.
"We'll leave in five minutes." Richard looked at his men, "Has the cash transport truck arrived?"
"We have arrived at the designated location as planned."
Richard nodded, turned around and walked towards his Mercedes-Benz.
As soon as he opened the car door, the bank executive director hurriedly stopped Richard.
"Mr. Richard Revo, please wait a moment, don't leave yet." The executive director of the board of directors said anxiously, "You haven't signed yet?"
"Sign? What to sign?" Richard frowned and waved his hand impatiently to push the executive director away, "Don't interfere with official business."
"No...Mr. Revo, police officer, you haven't signed the gold handover procedures yet?" There was a circle of sweat on the executive director's forehead.
"None of my business." Richard glared at him.
Are you kidding? How can you sign something like this?
The transfer of gold and foreign exchange reserves is a secret operation, and no evidence can be left behind.
The executive director's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed to the front of the truck, stretched out his hand to stop the convoy, "Stop! No one is allowed to leave without signing!"
The bank manager also reacted and immediately shouted, "Security! Close the door!"
The door of the underground garage was slowly lowered, the security guards looked at each other hesitantly, and the atmosphere at the scene fell into an eerie silence.
The agents held their guns and stood expressionlessly at their positions, waiting for Richard's orders.
Richard sneered, "Get out of the way."
Executive Director Bao Xiaodao said, "I won't get out of the way. If you don't sign, don't try to take away a piece of gold. This is my responsibility!"
I can’t afford to carry this pot.
This gold is stored here by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. If it is taken away in such an unknown manner, what should I do if the Hong Kong Monetary Authority comes back to ask them for the gold?
"We still have fifteen tons in the vault. Even if you take away these fifteen tons by force, don't even think about taking another piece of the rest." The executive director shouted sternly, "I will go to reporters immediately to expose you."
Richard frowned, "The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has agreed to let us take away the gold."
"Then you have to sign too!" the executive director refused to give in. "Either you ask the president of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to come over and sign, or I will never let you leave!"
Richard's face darkened immediately because he knew that the CEO of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority would not come to sign.
Although they tacitly approved the transfer of foreign exchange reserves and gold, they would not dare to admit it openly unless authorized by the Governor.
But the Governor will never do such a thing, although this matter cannot be separated from the Governor's vigorous mediation.
Without the Governor's help, the Financial Secretary and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority would not let them do this.
This is a huge scandal.
Then this would be very embarrassing. No one wants to take the blame, and nothing can be done.
Richard raised his wrist and looked at the time, then waved his hand, "Do it!"
SB agents swooped forward, grabbed the executive director of HSBC and pushed him aside.
Just as the executive director was about to resist, a gun was pointed at his head.
"Open the door!"
The agents quickly took control of the security guards and reopened the underground garage door.
The truck engine started and it quickly rushed out of the garage door, followed by several cars.
Looking at the fleet bank manager walking away, his face was full of panic, "Director, what should we do?"
"Go to the monitoring room and make a few copies of the surveillance tape!" the executive director said through gritted teeth, "We must leave evidence!"
"I will report to the chairman immediately!"
…
The convoy transporting gold left the HSBC bank, circled around, turned around, and merged with another convoy on Gloucester Road.
There were two trucks in the convoy filled with U.S. dollars, totaling three billion dollars.
This is the first batch shipped under the transfer program.
Richard looked at the other two trucks joining him, and then he felt relieved a little. He picked up the intercom and said, "Attention everyone, follow the original plan and use the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel."
"yes, sir!"
The convoy was racing all the way. On the streets of Hong Kong Island in the early morning, there were almost no cars visible.
This made the route of the convoy escorting the gold and US banknotes extremely smooth, and it didn't even take half the time planned.
"Decoy Convoy Report."
Richard picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, "What's going on ahead?"
"Everything is normal! The traffic police have set up a guidance vehicle in the tunnel, and our department is moving smoothly! Our department is moving smoothly!"
Richard breathed a sigh of relief, "Very good, continue to move towards Shigang Military Camp as planned."
He raised his wrist and looked at the time. According to the plan, the interval between the two teams was five minutes, and now his team was obviously three 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 extremely empty and there was not a single car in sight.
Richard suddenly felt something bad in his heart and picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to say something.
At this time, a truck suddenly appeared in front and hit the convoy head-on.
Richard's hole quickly zoomed in, looking at the rampaging convoy with a shocked face.
A long steel ram was installed on the front of the truck, which directly overturned the car in the way.
The car rolled and spun several times in the air and fell to the side.
The truck nimbly bypassed three trucks in the convoy and crashed into the escort car behind it.
