Chapter 214 Bodyguard Team Action
To be honest, Fang Hexuan's request is really unrealistic.

In Xu Guohua's view, his boss was a typical layman who gave orders blindly.

However, he had to admit that if he could successfully rescue the hostages at a minimal cost, it would definitely be a big success in Hong Kong.

Before retiring from the army, Xu Guohua was an officer at the company level or above. He had served in special academies and front-line troops. He has tactical planning and command capabilities.

So, even though it was difficult, he did not give up.

Including himself, there were only eight bodyguards in the three cars, and he had no idea how many robbers there were.

This is not a movie, and they are not those immortal Zhongnanhai bodyguards, but real mortals.

What's more, although these people are carefully selected, they are not all from elite troops. To talk about being able to shoot arrows through the target from a hundred paces away or kill people without them being seen, is that just a dream?

Even for T1-level special forces, they usually focus on tactics and weapons and equipment training. In reality, their fighting skills may not be as good as those of ordinary combat athletes. Don't joke if you think they are all Rambo.

Therefore, Xu Guohua's belief that there might be casualties was a calm and rational judgment.

After the three cars stopped about ten meters apart, all the bodyguards got out and started changing into their equipment.

In addition to bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets, there are also stun bombs and shotguns in the trunk.

Fang Hexuan's bodyguard team are all legally registered with the Hong Kong Security Bureau. They are allowed to carry pistols, but are not allowed to use rifles.

The richest man personally asked the Governor of Hong Kong for a favor, and was eventually allowed to use a shotgun as an exception.

The power of a shotgun is greater than that of an ordinary rifle, but its range is far less than that of a rifle. This is also the main reason why the Hong Kong government has slightly relaxed the restrictions.

These bodyguards had hardly ever used bulletproof vests when they were in the mainland, and they found them uncomfortable to wear, but at critical moments, everyone was still very happy to have life-saving equipment.

Fang Hexuan specially designed the carrying equipment of the US military in later generations for the bodyguards. Not only are they not bulky to wear, they also look particularly majestic and domineering.

In addition to weapons and ammunition, each person also carried a medical kit and nylon ties on their carrying gear. The former goes without saying, and the latter is specifically used to tie up the enemy's hands.

It can be said that their equipment is even more complete than that of the current US special forces.

Fang Hexuan also got out of the car and nodded with satisfaction as he watched everyone arm themselves quickly.

"Mr. Fang, please find a place to hide nearby. We will reunite with you after we rescue the hostages."

Fang Hexuan frowned. He wanted to go along with them. Even if he didn't get out of the car, he would feel more at ease staying at the scene to see the situation.

"Captain Xu, I won't cause any trouble for your operation, especially..."

"Mr. Fang, all of us are here to protect you. If something happens to you, our rescue operation will be meaningless."

Fang Hexuan was about to argue when Xu Guohua said:
"Mr. Fang, I will help you rescue the person, but first you have to listen to me."

Although Xu Guohua is the captain of the bodyguard team and receives Fang Hexuan's salary, he is not the type of person who would blindly follow his leader's orders. Moreover, his identity is not just that of Fang Hexuan's bodyguard.

".Okay, I hope everyone comes back safely."

Seeing the three Mercedes-Benz cars turning around and driving back, Fang Hexuan felt helpless. He looked around and found a small hill with a lot of trees on it, which was a suitable place to hide.

"Boss, weren't you a little too direct when talking to Mr. Fang just now?"

Chen Liang, one of the first bodyguards to arrive in Hong Kong, said to Xu Guohua in the passenger seat while driving.

"Shut up and drive your car. This isn't a normal training exercise. Everyone's life, including my own, is in danger. How can we put him in this situation as well?"

Chen Liang curled his lips and said nothing more. Xu Guohua's expression became more and more serious. He turned on the headset and ordered:
"Everyone, please follow the plan we just discussed. If something unexpected happens, follow the second plan."

"Understood, Captain!"

······
When the three cars drove back, it had actually been five or six minutes since they passed the Cadillac.

As long as the robbers are not stupid, they will either rob the people and their cars together, or simply kidnap them and escape into the dense forest.

The facts were similar to what Xu Guohua and his team had guessed. When they arrived, there was only a Cadillac parked on the side of the road.

The Mercedes-Benz stopped about a hundred meters away from the Cadillac. The eight people got out of the car quickly and carefully, then divided into two groups, left and right, and moved forward to scout along both sides of the road.

When they successfully approached the Cadillac, they found that the car was empty.

"Search carefully within a 200-meter radius. I don't think the criminals will kidnap the driver. Be careful!"

"Yes!"

Xu Guohua's judgment was correct. A bodyguard found the driver, who was tied up tightly with a car cleaning cloth stuffed in his mouth, just over a hundred meters away from the car.

After the driver's terrified explanation, everyone realized that there were five robbers in total. They tied up the Wang couple and went northwest of the Cadillac's location.

That’s right, these robbers took the two people directly into the dense forest.

Xu Guohua was relieved. He was really afraid that the robbers would just hijack the car. In that case, the entire rescue operation would be very troublesome, and even the safety of Wang Dehui and Gong Xiuqin could not be guaranteed 100%.

Driving a car chase on the highway is not as simple as shown in the movies. Even the police sharpshooter cannot accurately hit the criminals while the vehicle is moving, and may even hit the hostages.

In actual operations, police from all over the world use a large number of human-powered vehicles to chase and intercept the robbers, forcing them to stop somewhere and then rescue and arrest them.

These bandits thought they would be safe if they escaped into the mountains. In Xu Guohua's opinion, this was simply wishful thinking.

The gangsters had no idea that almost all of Xu Guohua's bodyguards had participated in the Vietnam War and many of them had experience in jungle warfare.

The robbers had the bad luck to run into a group of passing bodyguards whom they knew nothing about.

He said to the Cadillac driver:
"Drive forward another 1200 meters. My boss Fang Hexuan is waiting there. Do you know him?"

“Yeah, yeah, who in Hong Kong doesn’t know Mr. Fang?”

"Well, we'll go and rescue Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang, and you'll go and help me pick up Mr. Fang. Then you'll stay where you are now and don't go anywhere. Do you understand?"

"Understood, sir!"

"We are not the police, we are Mr. Fang's bodyguards!"

"But I feel like you guys are even better than the Hong Kong Flying Tigers!"

Several bodyguards could understand Cantonese, and when they saw this Hong Kong bumpkin praising themselves, they all smiled smugly on their faces.

No wonder, these guys are all fully armed. Except for carbines and sniper rifles, they have everything they need. Their fighting power seems to be even more elite than that of the Hong Kong police.
