Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Haojiang, Da Long Feng Restaurant.

Shi Yijian walked into a place he hadn't been to in a long time.

Looking at the old and worn-out furnishings around me, I felt a pang of emotion.

Having served the Aopu Group in Haojiang for over ten years, this was his first time visiting this place.

If someone hadn't invited him today, he would never have stepped into this restaurant.

As soon as he entered, Shi Yijian saw an old acquaintance: "Hey, isn't this Uncle Hua?"

"It's been more than ten years since we last met, hasn't it?" Uncle Hua said to Shi Yijian with a smile, "Why haven't you come to visit your old friend in so long?"

"I'm quite busy!" Shi Yijian replied casually.

After the two sat down, they started chatting, but Shi Yijian kept his eyes fixed on the door, as if he was waiting for someone to come.

The person he was waiting for didn't come, but a plump middle-aged woman appeared in front of him instead.

Shi Yijian was a womanizer when he was young and had accumulated a lot of romantic entanglements. Now he's entangled with the fat auntie.

Just as the two were arguing, two men walked in.

Shi Yijian felt as if he had seen a savior and hurriedly shouted, "Officer Li, Officer Li, over here!"

The man called Officer Li walked over with a smile: "Long time no see, Brother Jian! I need to talk to you!"

The plump aunt asked Shi Yijian curiously, "Who is this?"

"police?"

"What is it?"

Shi Yijian grinned slyly and said in a low voice, "I sell laundry detergent!"

Upon hearing Shi Yiqun's words, Uncle Hua and the plump aunt immediately got up and moved away.

It was as if it had been tainted by something unclean.

Shi Yijian immediately revealed a sly smile, then stood up and greeted Officer Li: "You've come at the right time, handcuff me and take me back!"

Officer Li introduced the man next to him with a smile, saying, "This is Superintendent Shrimp from the Macau Police Department."

"Hello, Brother Shrimp!" Shi Yijian greeted him, then said to the plump aunt, "Ayun, come to the police station to bail me out later!"

The plump woman immediately distanced herself from the situation, saying to Uncle Hua, "You know him?"

"Isn't he your friend?" Uncle Hua immediately retorted.

"You're crazy! I was just sharing a table!" the plump woman quickly retorted.

Seeing the two of them, Shi Yijian immediately put his arm around Officer Li and left the restaurant with Brother Xia.

After leaving the restaurant, Officer Li and Brother Xia drove Shi Yijian to Fragrant Hills.

We arrived at the rooftop of a building.

Shi Yijian, ever the sarcastic one, said, "You brought me to Fragrant Hills by car and even took me to the rooftop. You weren't planning to push me off the building, were you?"

Officer Li seemed to have known Shi Yijian for a long time and knew who this guy was. He shook his head with a helpless smile.

Upon reaching the rooftop, Shi Yijian saw a woman waiting for him.

"Oh, who is this?" Shi Yijian asked curiously.

Officer Li introduced her as "Luo Ziwen from the Mainland Police."

Shi Yijian immediately sensed something was wrong: "Mainland police, Hong Kong police, Macau Judiciary Police! Wow! Quite a lineup, looks like a tough nut to crack!"

"Brother Jian..." Luo Ziwen was about to speak.

But Shi Yijian immediately raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it!"

Shi Yijian clearly did not want to get involved in such troublesome matters.

Officer Li immediately pulled out a cigar and handed it to Shi Yijian, saying, "Since you're here, listen to this!"

"Wow, you even bought my favorite brand!" Shi Yijian took the cigar and said to Luo Ziwen, "Seeing how sincere you are, tell me!"

Luo Ziwen nodded and said, "There is a foundation called DOA, which is actually the world's largest money laundering group. Its leader is called Mr. Gao."

Shi Yijian nodded and said, "I've heard that this person isn't allowed into any casino in America!"

Luo Ziwen continued, "We've had someone infiltrate his group for a long time, and we made a breakthrough a few days ago! Our undercover agent used a prosthetic eye with a miniature camera to secretly record his meetings with gang leaders from more than a dozen regions!"

Shi Yijian spread his hands and said, "Isn't it clear? What else is there for me to do?"

Brother Shrimp said, "It's a pity that the evidence wasn't handed over to us."

Luo Ziwen said with a grim expression, "We only found his body. He was tortured before he died, so... we suspect that the prosthetic eye hasn't fallen into Mr. Gao's hands yet! Instead, it's been hidden by that undercover agent."

Shi Yijian said helplessly, "Then it's no use you coming to me, I can't help you with anything!"

"Mr. Gao has arrived in Haojiang," Brother Shrimp casually reminded him.

“He’s incredibly arrogant!” Luo Ziwen continued. “He thinks he’s the smartest person in the world and that he can never be defeated. We want you to get close to him, defeat him, and humiliate him!”

"That will make him lose his composure and reveal a weakness in his attempt to avenge himself against you! Then we can work together to capture him from the inside!"

Shi Yijian immediately recognized the meaning: "Oh ho ho, so you're an undercover agent too! Then the roles have been reversed, and I'm the one protecting you?"

Luo Ziwen immediately delivered a high roundhouse kick, sending the cigar flying from Shi Yijian's mouth.

However, this guy, nicknamed Magic Hand, took the opportunity to steal Luo Ziwen's identification documents.

"Not bad!" Shi Yijian glanced at the ID and said with a smile, "Such a high rank for someone so young! It's rare to see someone as good-looking in person as in a photo!"

After saying that, Shi Yijian returned the documents to Luo Ziwen and turned to Officer Li, saying, "Let me think about it and I'll tell you later!"

After saying that, Shi Yijian turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey, my wallet!" Officer Li said to Shi Yijian with a helpless expression.

Shi Yijian said with a smile, "You've made some progress! Tell your wife to lose some weight!"

After throwing the wallet to Officer Li, a sudden burst of gunfire rang out, startling everyone into immediately seeking cover.

However, everyone soon realized that no bullets were coming at all, and the sound was coming from Shi Yijian's mouth.

"This guy has a magician's hands and a magician's mouth!" Shrimp Bro said speechlessly.

Officer Li clearly knew Shi Yijian well and had no way to deal with the guy's pranks.

After all, this matter involves a lot of risk, and it's perfectly reasonable for them to consider it carefully.

……

Meanwhile, Chen Jiajun suddenly received a message from Yaqi in Haojiang.

"Ha, a charity spinach banquet?" Chen Jiajun was somewhat surprised to hear that Mr. Gao was being so high-profile in Macau.

Yachi nodded: "I wonder if this guy is courting death!"

Chen Jiajun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Whose connections did this guy use to organize this charity spinach banquet in Macau?"

Yaqi was silent for a moment, then said to Chen Jiajun, "Congratulations!"

Chen Jiajun immediately sneered: "I guessed it too. This guy is trying to sow discord between me and He Xin! No wonder he's being so high-profile!"

Yachi was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

“He Xin has always been wary of me; anyone with eyes can see that!” Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, “It just so happens that DOA has a grudge against us. If I were to step in and stop this charity spinach banquet, do you think He Xin would have a problem with me?”

“Definitely!” Yachi nodded.

"Heh, this is actually quite interesting." Chen Jiajun sneered and said, "I've never seen such an arrogant bastard before! Since he wants to play, then I'll play along with him properly."

Yachi paused for a moment and said, "Boss, you're coming in person?"

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "I want to see what this Mr. Gao is capable of!"

"Isn't that giving this bastard too much face?" Archie said, frowning.

“You don’t understand. How can you flip the table while playing a game? That’s so unsportsmanlike!” Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, “Besides, this Mr. Gao may not be the head of DOA! I’ve never seen any international criminal organization dare to do something so blatantly.”

……

Shi Yijian didn't want to get involved in such messy things.

He'll be retiring in two years, and he plans to spend his retirement in Macau then.

I'll also take on a couple of apprentices to pass the time.

For example, my good friend Mercedes' son, Xiao Leng, is quite talented.

Shi Yijian thought highly of this young man, hoping he would become his apprentice and, incidentally, his son-in-law.

He hadn't expected that Mr. Gao would personally come to provoke him. "Brother Jian, the so-called invincible magician, I hope to see you at the charity betting event tomorrow night!" Mr. Gao said to Shi Yijian with a smile.

Shi Yijian immediately became somewhat angry.

I didn't even intend to deal with you, yet you came after me.

Is Shi Yijian able to endure this?

In this world, besides Gao Jin, who else has he ever admired?
Can he tolerate an unknown Mr. Gao dancing in his area of ​​expertise?
They immediately decided to team up with the police and deal with this bastard.

However, Shi Yijian misunderstood; Mr. Gao did not come to provoke him for no reason.

Instead, Mr. Gao discovered that his traitorous subordinate, Ah Long, was actually the son of Shi Yijian's friend, Bin Shi.

Ah Long is now dead, but no evidence has been found. Mr. Gao suspects that the evidence must be in the hands of his family.

So Mr. Gao set his sights on Xiao Leng and the others.

However... he did indeed want to fight Shi Yijian.

Shi Yijian didn't care about all that. He returned home and saw Xiao Leng still building a poker tower.

Just as he was about to say something, a knock on the door interrupted him.

Then Shi Yijian saw several unexpected people.

For example, his boss, Chen Jiajun.

"Mr. Chen, what brings you here?" Shi Yijian asked in surprise.

After handing over the casino in Haojiang to Shi Yijian, Chen Jiajun rarely paid attention to its affairs.

Shi Yijian and Yaqi can be said to be the two managers of all of Chen Jiajun's businesses in Haojiang, one being a scholar and the other a warrior.

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "Can't I come if there's nothing wrong? You've done a great job here!"

Shi Yijian quickly invited Chen Jiajun and Yaqi in and introduced them, saying, "This used to be a Portuguese library, which I bought."

Chen Jiajun looked around and said with a smile, "You're still the same as before, your skills in using traps are getting more and more refined! This villa of yours is full of deadly traps!"

Shi Yijian was somewhat surprised, not expecting Chen Jiajun to be able to see it: "Mr. Chen has a good eye!"

After sitting down, Shi Yijian asked his daughter, A Cai, to prepare tea.

Ah Cai was not familiar with Chen Jiajun, but she was very familiar with Ya Qi, and had learned a lot of skills from Ya Qi.

Yaqi looked at the two young men, winked at Shi Yijian, and said, "The son-in-law you've chosen?"

“That’s right, isn’t my friend’s son a handsome young man?” Shi Yijian said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Shi Yijian took the initiative to ask, "Boss, you haven't been to Macau much lately. Is it for He Xin?"

"No, it's because of that so-called Mr. Gao," Chen Jiajun said calmly, sipping his tea.

Shi Yijian was immediately surprised: "Mr. Gao? Is this kind of scoundrel worth your time, big boss?"

Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate that DOA organization. Last time, it almost caused the Hong Kong government to suffer a big loss."

Shi Yijian became increasingly suspicious: "Really?"

"It's true, but I suspect that Mr. Gao, this so-called leader, is just a figurehead!" Chen Jiajun shook his head and said, "This organization is more complex than I imagined!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Shi Yijian immediately felt numb: "This is troublesome. I should have refused the police."

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "I knew they would come after you. What's the police's plan?"

“They want me to get close to Mr. Gao, defeat him, humiliate him, and make him reveal his weaknesses.” Shi Yijian shook his head: “This plan doesn’t sound very reliable.”

"That's certainly a bit of nonsense," Chen Jiajun said calmly. "But you're probably going to have a hard time getting rid of this!"

"Oh? Why?" Shi Yijian asked, puzzled.

Chen Jiajun glanced at Xiao Leng, who was helping A Cai pack her things, and continued, "It's related to your future son-in-law and your friend Mercedes!"

“The police had an undercover agent named Ah Long who filmed Mr. Gao discussing money laundering with gangsters from various countries and brought the evidence out.”

“Ah Long was arrested by Mr. Gao and tortured to death, but he didn’t get any evidence out of him. So I can guarantee that he’s not just after you this time, but also your friend and you, his future son-in-law.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Yijian was stunned: "Holy crap!"

Chen Jiajun patted Shi Yijian on the shoulder and said, "You can't escape!"

Shi Yijian immediately became irritated: "Damn it, that bastard Mr. Gao must have had ulterior motives for inviting me to the so-called charity spinach banquet, right?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "I guess he wants to find the whereabouts of the evidence from your future son-in-law."

"Tsk, big boss, what do I do now?" Shi Yijian said, sounding somewhat annoyed.

Chen Jiajun said nonchalantly, "Since he invited you to play, just play along! With Yaqi here to protect your daughter and son-in-law, what are you afraid of them doing?"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Shi Yijian's eyes lit up.

Chen Jiajun's meaning is that he will definitely take care of this matter.

Shi Yijian was relieved.

The following evening, at a hotel in Portugal.

Shi Yijian arrived at the Portuguese Hotel with his secretary.

His apprentice, A-Jie, personally came out to greet him.

Shi Yijian is nearing retirement, and the casino business is now being managed by his team.

Among them was his apprentice, A-Jie.

As the technical director of the Portuguese hotel, he was greeted by many people along the way.

Shi Yijian also greeted them one by one.

"Most of the celebrities from Hong Kong and Macau have come to the charity spinach banquet, and the presence of our master makes it even more splendid!"

Ah Jie said to Shi Yijian with a smile.

Shi Yijian said calmly, "Don't praise me, or I'll become arrogant."

Once inside the hotel, Ah Jie continued, "Master, all the money from today's betting, win or lose, will be used for charity."

Shi Yijian ignored his nonsense and instead focused his attention on Luo Ziwen.

He went straight over and said that he had helped Luo Ziwen win a game.

Then Luo Ziwen lowered her voice and said to Shi Yijian, "Have you thought it through?"

"I saw him yesterday, I guess I can't avoid him today!" Shi Yijian's expression remained normal.

Luo Ziwen reminded him, "He's ruthless, so you'd better be careful."

"I understand." Shi Yijian nodded.

After helping Luo Ziwen win another round, he was called away by his jealous secretary, Susan.

Then he saw Ah Jie and Mr. Gao walking over.

The two shook hands, and Mr. Gao wore a fake smile: "Brother Jian, we meet again! You look great today!"

"You look radiant too!" Shi Yijian said politely.

Mr. Gao then became quite blunt: "Brother Jian, do you rarely attend these kinds of events?"

"how you said that?"

"You even borrowed the dress from a friend, didn't you? The sleeves are so short, the pants don't fit, and the shoes are too small. You must have squeezed yourself in." Mr. Gao mocked Shi Yijian's attire with a look of contempt.

"You saw right through me?" Shi Yijian said with a smile. "Mr. Gao, you also come from a poor background, huh? As the chairman of a foundation, carrying so much cash in your pocket, either you lack confidence, or you're always ready to win people over?"

As he spoke, Shi Yijian took out a wad of banknotes and placed it in front of Mr. Gao.

Mr. Gao took the money, and Shi Yijian then took out a condom: "With so many beautiful women tonight, one might not be enough, right? Here you go!"

Mr. Gao immediately intervened: "Hey! The money is mine, but this isn't. I never use this kind of thing!"

"Really? Then the water supply is yours, right?" Shi Yijian took out another tube of blue liquid.

Mr. Gao's expression immediately changed, and he snatched it from Shi Yijian's hand.

Shi Yijian burst into laughter: "Excuse me!"

With that, Shi Yijian walked directly toward a bleacher stand.

Several real big shots are sitting in this place.

He Xin and Chen Jiajun! (End of Chapter)
