Hong Kong Film: Short mules have no future, I am in charge of Hong Kong

Chapter 181: The underworld of Macau also needs some worldly touch!

"Damn it, a cat almost scared me to death!" The subordinate covered his chest and cursed.

Chen Bing kicked the cat away, and was so angry that he almost broke the iron pipe: "A cat scared you like this? And you're still guarding the place?!"

At the other end of the alley, Kanta's deputy saw this scene from afar and couldn't help reporting in the headset: "Sir, Xi Mihua's people seem to be a little broken. They even started kicking the cat."

"It seems that the atmosphere has reached a climax." Kanta chuckled, "Let someone spread the news and say that the goods have been transported from the back alley. Let's see their reaction."

When the news reached Xi Mihua's ears, he slammed the table, stood up and shouted: "What?! The goods went through the back alley? Nonsense! The back alley is my territory, who dares to touch my things!"

Xiao Wu quickly stepped forward and advised: "Brother Hua, this may be a rumor, don't jump to conclusions."

"Rumors? I think it's Su Hanze's trick!" Xi Mihua slammed the table fiercely, "Let someone investigate. I want to see the results tonight!"

The night in the East District was getting deeper and deeper, but the place was not deserted at all. Chen Bing was walking around the back alley with an iron pipe in his hand, so nervous that he even glanced at the trash cans on the roadside. He cursed in his heart, but pretended to be calm.

"Wuzi, has the cat come back? I heard it meow again just now." Chen Bing asked in a low voice as he walked.

"Brother Bing, the cat has climbed up a tree now." Xiao Wu pointed to an old tree not far away. The cat was licking its paws leisurely, which made him annoyed. "Why should we care about it? The important thing now is that Kanta's people are just outside the alley!"

"Who told you to keep an eye on the cat?" Chen Bing glared at him. "I told you to be careful, don't let anyone pretend to be a cat to spy on us!"

"Pretending to be a cat?" Xiao Wu was stunned and thought to himself: Is Brother Bing too nervous?
At the same time, Kanta's men were still observing from the outside. Their deputy was already getting impatient and couldn't help but say in the headset: "Sir, Xi Mihua's men are on high alert. If we wait any longer, they might discover our intentions."

Kanta was sitting in the car, leisurely drinking whiskey. He just smiled faintly when he heard this: "So what if they were discovered? They are trapped birds now. Even if they want to fly, they can't fly far."

“But the news is that the goods have already gone through the back alley, and our informant…” Kanta interrupted the deputy before he could finish his words.

"That news is fake." Kanta said softly, "It was a smokescreen thrown by Su Hanze. He wanted us and Xi Mihua to both suffer losses, but unfortunately, he underestimated us."

On the other side, the atmosphere in the venue was much more relaxed. Lu Dongpi was moving the last box of beer onto the truck. He clapped his hands, turned around and said to Ah Quan: "The beer is ready. Now we just have to wait for them to start drinking!"

"Brother Beer, if a fight really breaks out, should we deliver beer or midnight snacks?" Ah Quan couldn't help but ask.

"All for free!" Lu Dongpi answered seriously, "How can a lively place be without food and drink? We are exporting our culture, do you understand?"

In the monitoring room, A Bing stared at the screen, watching the situation in the East District becoming increasingly tense. He rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Ze, is the fire almost out? Do you want to give them another push?"

"Wait a little longer." Su Hanze leaned back in his chair, speaking calmly, "Although Xi Mihua's people are nervous, Kanta's people are not serious. They are more cautious than anyone else now. Our chance lies in the moment of their hesitation."

"Brother Ze, aren't you afraid that Kanta will withdraw suddenly?" A Bing couldn't help but ask.

"It's better if he withdraws." Su Hanze raised his lips slightly, "That means he doesn't have the courage to take this game. Xi Mihua will be even more panicked, and we won't have to do anything next time."

At this time, the eldest wife called in. Her tone was normal, but with a hint of ridicule: "Aze, I heard that you asked the people from East Beer to pile up beer in the East District? This is a great idea. Even I want to have a couple of drinks."

"It's just to add some atmosphere." Su Hanze replied with a smile, "But this atmosphere will probably take a while before it explodes completely."

"Who will lose control first, Kanta or Ximihua?" asked the eldest wife.

"Kanta is patient and won't act rashly. Xi Mihua's men are more anxious, but they have orders to follow." Su Hanze narrowed his eyes. "The key is who takes the first step to break the balance."

The atmosphere in the alleys of the East District was extremely tense. Xiao Wu held the intercom and whispered to Chen Bing: "Brother Bing, how about we test the Kanta gang first to see if they dare to move?"

"Are you crazy?" Chen Bing's eyes widened. "At this time, whoever moves first will be the loser. Aren't you afraid that Brother Hua will peel off your skin?"

As he was talking, there was a sudden movement in the distance, and a dark shadow quietly flashed past the entrance of the alley at an extremely fast speed. Chen Bing immediately picked up the iron pipe and shouted in a low voice: "Who! Stop right there!"

The shadow did not stop, but quickly got into a pile of abandoned boxes nearby, making a rustling sound. Chen Bing gritted his teeth and rushed forward, raised the iron pipe and smashed it hard, and a cat jumped out of the box, meowing in fright.

"Damn it, it's this cat again!" Chen Bing was so angry that he jumped up and down, and his men were all trying to hold back their laughter. The scene seemed a little funny for a moment.

While Chen Bing was struggling with the cat, Kanta's men noticed the movement. They thought Xi Mihua's men had discovered something and began to advance.

In the monitoring room of the venue, A Bing watched the screen and laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh: "Brother Ze, this cat is really the mascot of the venue. While scaring Chen Bing, it helps us lure Kanta's people into the trap!"

Su Hanze shook his head with a playful smile in his eyes: "The cat is just a coincidence, but Kanta's people have already moved. Once they move, Xi Mihua will definitely fight back."

The situation in the alley was just as Su Hanze had expected. As soon as Kanta's men approached a few steps, Chen Bing immediately shouted, "Everyone get ready! They're moving!"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the alley exploded. Xi Mihua's men were on high alert, while Kanta's men pressed forward.

The air in the alley was as tense as a string about to break. Chen Bing stood in front holding an iron pipe, his palms soaked with sweat. He glanced at Kanta's men and whispered to Xiao Wu beside him, "These guys are pressing us step by step, trying to test our bottom line! But we can't mess around, understand?"

Xiao Wu nodded repeatedly, but he couldn't help complaining: "Brother Bing, their number is increasing. Are the few we have enough? Brother Hua also said not to do anything. Aren't we just holding back?"

"We are holding back for the last fight!" Chen Bing glared at him fiercely, "Hold on for a while. What if they are just bluffing? If they really provoke us to make the first move, we will become a joke!"

On the other side, Kanta's deputy reported in a low voice through the headset: "Sir, Xi Mihua's men seem to be on guard, but they are not moving. Should we get closer?"

Kanta was listening to classical music in the car. He gently shook the red wine glass in his hand and said calmly, "Wait a little longer. Ximihua's people look tough, but they can't hold out for long. The longer the stalemate, the easier it is for them to get confused." In the corner of the alley, a black cat stretched out beside a pile of boxes, seemingly unconcerned about the tense confrontation. It occasionally raised its head to glance at the guys with weapons, then lay down lazily and continued to lick its fur.

At the same time, Lu Dongpi and his brothers were setting up beer and braised food stalls outside the alley. He arranged for people to put bottles of beer in ice buckets one by one, while whistling: "Once this place is open, our business will definitely explode. Beer is for the occasion, and braised food is for the atmosphere. When they are done, we can still clean up the mess."

"Brother Pi, this is a little too funny!" Ah Quan couldn't help but complain, "It feels like we are running a night market here, not watching Jiang Hu Feng Yun."

"What do you know?" Lu Dongpi patted Ah Quan's head, "This is called cultural integration! The underworld of Macao also needs a bit of fireworks!"

Inside the stadium, A Bing was looking at the surveillance screen, laughing until tears came out: "Brother Ze, Dong Beer is really considerate. They turned the alley into a food festival! Look at the people from Kanta staring at the beer barrels. They probably almost forgot what they were doing here!"

Su Hanze looked at the screen and smiled faintly: "This is exactly the brilliance of Dong Beer. The more relaxed the atmosphere, the more it can make the opponent relax their vigilance. By the time they realize their position, it will be too late."

"What about Xi Mihua? Will they be unable to hold it in?" A Bing asked.

"It's better if Xi Mihua can't hold it back." Su Hanze picked up a cup of tea and said leisurely, "Kanta's people took a few steps first. Xi Mihua is now the party under pressure. The more they hold on, the less confident they will appear."

In the alley, Chen Bing's intercom suddenly heard a hurried voice: "Brother Bing, it's bad! Kanta's people have pushed another ten meters into the alley, and it looks like they are going to take action!"

"Ten meters?" Chen Bing gritted his teeth, "Wait a little longer, get closer to five meters before you attack! If that doesn't work, we'll give them some real weapons!"

Xiao Wu was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Brother Bing, they are almost close to us. If we don't move, our momentum will be suppressed!"

"Shut up!" Chen Bing glared at him and growled in a low voice, "Hold on, Brother Hua's orders are binding. Whoever dares to move will bear the consequences, right?"

On the other side, Kanta's men were also whispering, "Sir, Xi Mihua's men don't seem to dare to move. Should we press on a little bit more?"

"Press them again?" Kanta laughed faintly. "Pressing them too hastily will easily make them desperate. If we push forward slowly, they will collapse faster."

At the other end of the alley, Lu Dongpi was directing people to hang colorful lights on the stalls. He smiled with a relaxed look on his face: "Okay, it's almost done. Now, we just wait for them to fight, and then we can open our business!"

Ah Quan looked up at the situation in the alley and muttered, "Brother Beer, if a fight really breaks out, our stall won't be smashed, right?"

"Don't worry, with our brother Ze backing us up, who would dare to destroy our stall?" Lu Dongpi said carelessly, "Besides, in the end, things in the underworld still have to follow the rules!"

The situation in the alley became increasingly tense, and everyone's eyes were fixed on each other, as if a storm was about to break out. In the monitoring room of the venue, Su Hanze gently put down his teacup, stood up, looked through the night outside the window, and whispered, "The storm is coming."

Chen Bing stood in front of the back door of the place, feeling the hair on his back stand up. He tightened the iron pipe in his hand and said to Xiao Wu with gritted teeth: "Wuzi, don't do those cat and dog tricks to me again! In this game today, whoever shows weakness will have no good life!"

Xiao Wu whispered, "Brother Bing, you said that, but if Kanta's people really get a few steps closer, what should we do?"

Chen Bing sneered: "What else can we do? Brother Hua asked us to hold on, so we will hold on. No matter whether it is a god or a ghost coming tonight, we have to hold on to the end!"

Just as the two were fighting, several figures suddenly flashed across the alley. Chen Bing immediately raised his hand and signaled: "Get ready! They're moving!"

At the other end of the alley, Kanta's deputy was also nervously observing the situation. He reported in a low voice into the headset: "Sir, Xi Mihua's people have obviously stepped up their vigilance, and they may be waiting for us to take further action."

Kanta sat in the car and smiled: "Very good, take a few steps closer and force them to take action."

The deputy hesitated: "But if they don't do anything, won't we appear guilty?"

"Guilty?" Kanta snorted. "As long as we don't make the first move, the initiative is in our hands. Their patience has reached its limit. Whoever collapses first will lose."

In the monitoring room of the stadium, A Bing stared at the screen and chewed betel nut with a smile: "Brother Ze, look at Chen Bing's expression, it's like he wants to eat someone! Do Kanta's people think he's going to start a war?"

"This is the use of Chen Bing." Su Hanze smiled faintly, "The more nervous he is, the more the people in Kanta will think that we have set a trap. Now, everyone is watching who loses patience first."

"How long can Xi Mihua endure this?" A Bing asked curiously.

"He can't stand it for much longer." Su Hanze put down the pen in his hand and said calmly, "The more tense he is, the more nervous he will be. Tonight, those who don't take action are not the winners, but the jokes."

On the other side, Ludong Beer's "Jianghu Night Market" has become a wonder at the alley entrance. He stood in front of the stall, waving the braised chicken wings in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, don't be so nervous! Have a chicken wing and relax. In our Jianghu, we don't know each other without fighting. It's more interesting to talk while eating!"

Ah Quan couldn't help laughing out loud: "Brother Pi, if Chen Bing heard you say that, he would chase you with a metal pipe."

"What are you afraid of? Chen Bing is just a paper tiger." Lu Dongpi said nonchalantly, "He appears to be fierce on the surface, but in fact he is more panicked than anyone else. Besides, this is Brother Ze's game, he dare not mess around."

In the alley, the black cat was still napping leisurely beside the pile of boxes, seemingly completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere around it. Occasionally, it would look up at the nervous people and then continue to lick its paws.

Chen Bing turned around and saw the black cat. He couldn't help but curse, "You damn cat, are you trying to annoy me? If you don't leave, I'll stew you!"

Xiao Wu reminded quietly: "Brother Bing, don't worry about the cat, the people from Kanta are coming again!"

Chen Bing's face instantly lengthened: "Hold on! Remember, whoever strikes first is a fool! If we don't fight, they can only stare blankly."

As expected, Kanta's men continued to advance a few steps, but they still kept their distance. They seemed to be waiting for a signal, but the signal did not appear.
