Chapter 440 Don’t suffer a second loss
Looking at Qian Liwen and the Singaporean guards who were being interviewed by TVB reporters, Chen Liang was in a particularly bad mood after explaining what happened to Blackwater International General Manager Xu Guohua.

In this highway robbery, a Gurkha bodyguard of Blackwater International was killed. Yes, it was the man named Jeto.

When Chen Liang and the police found them, Jieto was shot in the left thigh and had several bullet holes in his left waist and ribs. It was confirmed that he died on the spot.

The mainland bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat was shot in the right shoulder, once in the calf and once in the abdomen. Fortunately, neither of the injuries was fatal and he has now been rescued.

As for the Hong Kong bodyguard in the back row, he was even more lucky. Apart from a bullet that pierced his left face and knocked out several teeth, he did not suffer any other injuries.

It was also thanks to his help in stopping the bleeding that the mainland bodyguards in the front row were able to hold on until the ambulance arrived.

In addition, two bodyguards also suffered gunshot wounds of varying degrees, which means that among the eight Blackwater bodyguards, one died and four were injured, while the gangsters escaped unscathed. With this comparison, people who don't know the business will only laugh at Blackwater International's poor combat effectiveness. How can Chen Liang not be depressed?
Originally, the TVB reporter wanted to interview him. After all, he had heard from other people that he was not only the backbone of the fight, but also the most outstanding performance. However, Chen Liang refused without hesitation.

The reason for doing so is, firstly, he wants to keep a low profile so as not to be targeted by criminals, and secondly, the Blackwater bodyguard team suffered heavy losses, he feels ashamed and certainly does not want to be widely reported by the media.

Chen Liang, smoking in boredom and with a light bloodstain left on his face after being scratched by a ricochet bullet, looked at Xu Guohua aggrievedly and said:
"Captain, you saw the result. If it weren't for the grenades in this robbery, I'm afraid the company would have to collect the bodies of us. Our firepower is no different from a fire stick in front of the vicious bandits. No matter what your superiors think, I strongly suggest that everyone be equipped with rifles, otherwise there will be more deaths next time."

Xu Guohua frowned, not caring about the secondhand smoke. As an elite scout who retired from the battlefield, he certainly knew that there was a gap in the range of guns, and the weaker side would basically be suppressed. However, the fact that the Hong Kong government allowed the existence of Blackwater International was already a great honor to Mr. Fang and the mainland.

If weapons with longer range are required, he is not sure whether Boss Fang can convince the Hong Kong government and police.

Through this incident, he also realized that the security situation in Hong Kong is deteriorating. Otherwise, it is hard to imagine that AK47 would appear casually in an international city with a large number of police officers.

He patted Chen Liang on the shoulder and sighed:
"You don't have to say it. I also know the interests involved. The company has approved your team to take a month's paid leave as a small compensation for you. Of course, I will also tell Mr. Fang about your opinion."

Chen Liang put out the cigarette, exhaled the smoke from his nose, then nodded and said "hmm", and stopped complaining.

He knew that Blackwater International would definitely treat the Gurkha bodyguard who died and the other four injured bodyguards well.

At the very least, subsequent consolation will follow the pension system established by the company. For example, those who die in the line of duty will be directly compensated with 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and the families of the deceased will be provided with 20 Hong Kong dollars every year thereafter, for consecutive years.

The injured will receive a pension ranging from 20 to 100 million Hong Kong dollars, depending on the severity of their injuries. In addition, they will also receive paid leave for 1 to 3 months.

These amounts are not fixed and are updated every three years. That is to say, the compensation for death in the 80s was 200 million, but in the 90s, it might have reached or million.

Even in Hong Kong, such compensation is very generous and convincing.

TVB reporters stayed at the scene for more than an hour, and only left after most of the police left the scene.

At 3 pm, after simple post-editing and dubbing, the robbery that just happened between Sung Wong Toi Road and East Kowloon Corridor was immediately known to all Hong Kong citizens in the form of breaking news. Needless to say, this news caused a huge sensation in Hong Kong. It is a bit exaggerated to say that people were panicking, but it became a topic of discussion on the streets for the next few days.

Ordinary citizens thought that this robbery against a Singapore gold jeweller was particularly exciting and interesting with the mentality of listening to a story, while the businessmen were shocked and at the same time inevitably felt a sense of grief. They also saw that with the Iron Lady's visit to the mainland, the security situation in Hong Kong was developing towards an increasingly severe trend.

Shortly after the news was reported, the Hong Kong Gold and Jewellery Association came out to condemn the robbery and demanded that the Hong Kong police catch the attacker as soon as possible.

In addition, the reaction of Hong Kong insurance companies may be the strongest. They did not make any public statements, but quickly united to put pressure on the Hong Kong Insurance Authority, asking them to further petition the Hong Kong government and strengthen social security in Hong Kong.

Of course, along with the negative effects, there is also widespread praise for Hong Kong’s first security company, Blackwater International.

Although TVB likes to take advantage of traffic, it has not discredited Blackwater International.

Judging from the results, Blackwater International was indeed badly beaten by the gangsters, but the TV station still released the police's analysis of the case, which professionally explained that the AK47 can easily suppress ordinary pistols and shotguns due to its range and firepower.

Therefore, although the citizens of Hong Kong were surprised, they finally understood why Blackwater International, which had never failed before, suffered a tragic defeat with one death and four injuries.

As interviews with Singaporean businessman Qian Liwen and passing vehicles were broadcast one after another, people realized that although there was a huge gap in weapons, Blackwater International not only managed to save its employer's goods, but also showed great bravery and unity in the exchange of fire, which was a case of its merits outweighing its flaws.

Fang Hexuan watched TVB continuously broadcast news and information about the robbery on TV, took a deep breath of relief, and complained to Xu Guohua who was sitting next to him and preparing to report the situation to him:
"Damn it, Hong Kong is becoming more and more chaotic!"

Xu Guohua nodded in agreement and sighed:

"Yeah, we never thought that one day we would encounter a criminal holding an AK47."

Fang Hexuan's face showed no sadness or joy, he just looked at Xu Guohua with deep eyes and said:

"I know what you want to say. TVB has already expressed it for everyone."

"I know the situation is not optimistic, but don't worry. Applying for the qualification to equip a long gun is not an easy task. I need to plan everything out."

Hearing this, Xu Guohua's expression began to cheer up from the disappointment just now, and he nodded and said:

"I understand. Everyone will understand!"
