Chapter 559 Camel Attacks Hung Hing
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison, and immediately split up to take action.
At the entrance of Hung Hing headquarters, bloodstains were everywhere, corpses lay scattered, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.
Ye Haoxuan stood on the steps, watching the departing figures of the crowd, his eyes solemn.
He knew that Hoshino Taro's death was just the beginning of this storm, and the showdown with Camel and Big D had only just begun.
Meanwhile, in the western warehouse, Camel sat in a makeshift main seat, listening to his subordinates' reports, a sinister smile playing on his lips:
"Alright, Hoshino Taro is dead. Ye Haoxuan must think the situation is settled and lower his guard. Pass the order down and proceed according to the original plan: launch a surprise attack on Causeway Bay and catch Ye Haoxuan off guard!"
"Yes!" The subordinate responded and withdrew.
Camel stroked the jade thumb ring on his finger, his eyes filled with ambition: "Ye Haoxuan, today is your death day. Hung Hing's territory will eventually belong to my Tung Sing!"
......
The streets of Causeway Bay appear calm, with neon signs lighting up one after another and pedestrians coming and going, but undercurrents are actually surging.
When Ye Haoxuan and Tachibana Masahito arrived, the prince had already led his brothers to set up ambushes at key intersections and gang strongholds. Cleavers and steel pipes were neatly piled up in hidden places, and the underlings looked vigilant, their eyes scanning every stranger who passed by.
"Brother Xuan, everything is arranged." The prince stepped forward quickly and reported in a low voice, "We have people on all three main streets of Causeway Bay. If Camel comes from the direction of the pier, he will definitely pass through the Tin Hau Temple intersection. We have buried twenty elites there to ensure that he will not return."
Ye Haoxuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the tea stall across the street, a hint of gentleness flashing in his eyes:
"Good job. Tell the brothers to stay calm and wait until all the Camel men are inside the ambush before making a move. Don't alert them."
"Understood!" The crown prince replied and withdrew.
Tachibana Masahito looked in the direction Ye Haoxuan was looking and smiled faintly: "Brother Xuan, are you waiting for Sister Ling?"
"She called this morning and said she made braised pork and wanted to bring it over." Ye Haoxuan turned around, smiled frankly, and did not deny it.
He and Luo Huiling had known each other for half a year. From their initial mutual testing to their current mutual concern, Sister Ling's gentleness and insight were like a ray of light shining into his life of swords and shadows. However, they both understood each other implicitly and never revealed their feelings.
He understood her concerns, and she appreciated his stability. Their affection deepened over time, yet always retained a restrained tenderness.
As soon as she finished speaking, a white sedan slowly pulled up to the side of the road, and Luo Huiling got out of the car.
She wore a beige dress, her long hair was tied up, revealing her slender neck, and she carried two insulated buckets in her hands. She crossed the road with light steps, and her eyes accurately found Ye Haoxuan in the crowd, instantly warming her eyes, but also carrying a hint of worry that was not easily detected.
"Haoxuan." She walked over and handed him the thermos, her voice gentle, "I made your favorite braised pork and some hot soup. Have some to tide you over. Also, I brought some medicine for injuries. You're bound to get hurt in the fight, so remember to use it."
Ye Haoxuan reached out and took the thermos, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against the back of her hand. Both of them paused slightly. Sister Ling instinctively withdrew her hand, lowered her eyes, and whispered:
"I heard that the Yamada Group is causing trouble. You... you must be careful."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Ye Haoxuan's voice was extremely gentle, his eyes full of warmth. "We have people in Causeway Bay, nothing will happen. How did you get here? It's not safe on the road, don't come here alone next time."
“I drove here, it’s fine.” Luo Huiling looked up at him, her worry barely concealed. “I know you’re busy, I won’t bother you for too long, I’ll go back now.”
As she spoke, she turned to leave, but couldn't help turning back to remind her, "No matter how late it is, come back and eat something. Don't overwork yourself."
"Okay, let's go back." Ye Haoxuan watched her retreating figure until the car disappeared around the street corner before turning his gaze away.
Tachibana Masahito stood to the side, smiling gently: "Sister Ling is a good woman, Brother Xuan should cherish her."
Ye Haoxuan smiled, opened the thermos, and the aroma of braised pork wafted out, dispelling some of the fierceness of the martial world.
"Give some to the brothers first, and save the rest for a proper meal after we've dealt with the camels."
After distributing the food to his underlings who were lying in ambush, Ye Haoxuan returned to the stronghold, took out the wound medicine that Sister Ling had brought, and stroked the medicine box with his fingertips—it was a wound medicine that she had specially bought from an old-fashioned pharmacy, and she had also carefully wrapped it with gauze and cotton swabs.
He recalled Luo Huiling's flushed cheeks when she lowered her eyes, and his heart softened. This tenderness was his most precious attachment amidst the clash of swords.
Just then, his subordinate rushed over to report: "Brother Xuan, the Camel Men are here! There are about a hundred of them, and they're coming towards the intersection of Tianhou Temple Road in three groups!"
"More than a hundred? Is that all the people?" Ye Haoxuan's eyes sharpened, instantly concealing the gentleness in them. He said in a deep voice, "Pass the word down. Proceed according to plan. Leave a few alive. I need to know where the camels are!"
"Yes!"
At the intersection of Tin Hau Temple Road, as night deepened, the streetlights flickered on and off.
Camel's men, carrying machetes and cursing, walked down the street. The leader was a minor gang leader from Dongxing, who looked arrogant and completely unaware of the ambush around him.
They assumed that Hung Hing had just finished fighting the Yamada Group and would be severely weakened, making Causeway Bay's defenses vulnerable. Little did they know that they had already fallen into a trap set by Yip Ho-hin.
"Do it!"
With a low shout from the prince, the Hung Hing henchmen who had been lying in ambush in the alleys and on the rooftops swarmed out, brandishing machetes and shouting battle cries that shook the heavens.
Caught off guard, Camel's men were thrown into disarray. Some tried to resist, while others turned and ran, but were surrounded by Hung Hing men. Screams and the clash of weapons shattered the tranquility of Causeway Bay.
Ye Haoxuan and Tachibana Masahito stood side by side, watching the chaotic battle in the arena with cold eyes.
Seeing this, one of the Dongxing henchmen brandished a machete and charged at Ye Haoxuan. Tachibana Masahito dodged, drew his katana, and with a flash of light, the henchman screamed and fell to the ground.
"Brother Xuan, there's a bastard trying to run away over there!" the prince's voice came.
Ye Haoxuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in a black jacket fleeing towards the dock. He was Camel's confidant.
He pushed off with his feet, his figure shooting forward like an arrow, catching up with the leader in a few steps. A heavy punch landed on the leader's back, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground. Ye Haoxuan stepped forward, stomping on the leader's back, and said in a deep voice:
Where are the camels?
The leader gritted his teeth, refusing to speak: "Even if I die, I won't tell you!"
Ye Haoxuan's eyes turned cold, and he increased the pressure on his feet, causing the leader to scream in pain:
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Master Luo is at the abandoned dock behind the warehouse in the West District. If he succeeds here, he'll escape by boat!"
