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

Chapter 183 This place looks like an ambush
"The drama in East Lane has just begun." Su Hanze said calmly, "Their current moves are all feints. The real outcome will depend on who can hold on to the end."

"Brother Ze, will Kanta also be able to tell that this is fake?" A Bing asked curiously.

"It doesn't matter whether Kanta sees through it or not." Su Hanze's eyes were still fixed on the screen. "As long as he doesn't dare to take risks, he won't leave easily. Xi Mihua's people will be dragged down by this game. They don't have as many options as Kanta."

The night market stalls at the alley entrance were still brightly lit, and Ludong Beer was putting up a new sign on the stall, which read in brush calligraphy: "Haojiang Jianghu Special Midnight Snacks." More and more people gathered around, and the atmosphere was as lively as the Chinese New Year.

"Brother Pi, your stall is really amazing!" A passerby who was just watching the show smiled and gave a thumbs up. "If this fight really starts, will you still broadcast it live?"

"Live broadcast? Do you think I do this just for fun?" Lu Dongpi said seriously, "This is called cultural output. It tells people in the underworld that eating first and fighting later is the true meaning of life!"

Ah Quan added: "Brother Pi, do we need a DJ to make the place more lively?"

"Get lost!" Lu Dongpi glared at him. "This kind of high-level game doesn't need any noise. You just have to watch the show quietly."

In the alley, Xiao Wu and two people quietly moved to the next alley. He carefully hid in the dark and observed the movements around him. Sure enough, there were some unfamiliar faces gathered there, looking like they were waiting for something.

"Brother Bing, something's wrong." Xiao Wu whispered into the intercom, "There's someone over here, and it looks like they're making a connection."

"Is there anyone here?" Chen Bing's voice suddenly rose eight degrees. "Then what are you still standing there for? Come back quickly!"

"But..." Before Xiao Wu could finish his words, a crisp sound of metal collision came from the other side, as if someone accidentally kicked over an iron bucket.

"It's over, it's over, we're exposed!" Xiao Wu cried out, and quickly led his men to run back.

At the same time, Kanta's men also noticed the movement in the alley next door. The man in the windbreaker frowned and said to the leader: "Boss, it seems that someone has retreated over there. Did you see anything?"

"Just retreat." The leader sneered, "This shows that they are not sure either. Inform the gentleman that we can explore deeper."

In the stadium, A Bing saw the scene on the screen and laughed so hard that he almost fell off his chair: "Brother Ze, the area next door has become a hub for oolongs! Xiao Wu and Kanta's men almost collided with each other. If they really did collide, I don't know who would run faster out of fear."

"This is their dilemma, but also our opportunity," Su Hanze said calmly, "Once they are in complete chaos, we will close the net."

The eldest wife sat in the VIP room, listening to He Qun's report on the latest situation. She took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Aze's method this time is very clean, but do you think Kanta will be more patient than we expected?"

"He can keep his composure, but his people may not be able to." He Qun smiled, "In this kind of situation, it is often the subordinates who can't hold on first. No matter how smart Kanta is, he has to pay for the mistakes of his subordinates."

The alleys in the East District were in complete chaos. Chen Bing stood in the alley behind the venue, listening to Xiao Wu's panting on the intercom, and couldn't help but curse: "You run faster than a rabbit! Is there any movement? Are they chasing us?"

"What the hell! We can run faster than them!" Xiao Wu replied, panting. "But, Brother Bing, there's a real problem over there!"

Chen Bing's expression changed instantly. He held the iron pipe and slammed it hard on the ground: "Brothers, get ready! No one can play tricks on us tonight!"

At the other end of the alley, Kanta's men also began to adjust their formation. They carefully moved towards the next alley, while the black cat at the entrance of the alley followed them leisurely, as if watching a free show.

The noise in the alley next door gradually grew, and the news spread to every corner of the East District like wings. Chen Bing was organizing the team while cursing: "Damn it! These guys are so shady. I stood there all night, and they played this trick behind my back!"

Xiao Wu came over cautiously and said, "Brother Bing, should we go directly over there? Brother Hua should know about this by now, right?"

"Don't be impatient!" Chen Bing tapped the ground with his iron pipe, his expression serious. "If we go now, won't it seem like we are in a hurry? Only by letting them think we know nothing can we see clearly what they are doing."

"But Brother Bing, what if there really is something there..." Before Xiao Wu could finish his words, Chen Bing glared at him, "Is there really something there? Can the stuff come here on its own? In situations like this, brains are more important than legs!"

Meanwhile, Kanta's deputy had reported the situation to his master. Kanta was still sitting leisurely in the car, as if everything was under control. He took a puff of his cigar and said calmly, "There's a lot of noise in the alley next door. What does this mean?"

"That means... someone deliberately leaked the news to lure us there?" the deputy asked tentatively.

"Yes." Kanta sneered, "But they didn't expect that I would never set a trap casually. Have someone keep an eye on the situation over there, don't get too close, and let Xi Mihua's people test it first."

The deputy nodded in response, but secretly groaned in his heart: No one is moving, is this going to keep wasting time like this?
In the monitoring room of the stadium, A Bing was pouring himself a cup of tea, watching the screen and laughing: "Brother Ze, we are almost playing these two sides like moles! Look, Kanta is holding back and Chen Bing is cursing so hard that his mouth is about to cramp. No one dares to leave the field first."

"This is the key to the game." Su Hanze said slowly, "In the real arena, it's not about who can fight faster, but who can outlast others. What we need to do is to make them reveal their own flaws."

"Should we add some more ingredients?" A Bing asked curiously.

"No hurry." Su Hanze picked up the teacup, a gleam in his eyes, "The noise over there in the alley isn't big enough yet. Let's push them a little more when they get a little more chaotic."

At the night market stall at the alley entrance, Lu Dongpi was telling a group of spectators about old stories. While chewing on a braised pig's trotter, he said with great excitement: "Do you know? When Brother Hua first entered Haojiang, he beat back thirty people with an iron pipe. Even Chen Bingbi couldn't match his momentum now!"

"Brother Pi, is this story made up?" a passerby couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"What are you making up? I saw it with my own eyes!" Lu Dongpi boasted even more excitedly, "However, Chen Bing is not bad now. Although he is as hard as iron, he is really useful at the critical moment."

Ah Quan, who was eating beside him with his mouth full of oil, said incoherently: "Brother Pier, if Chen Bingzhen starts fighting, can he still take on five people with his iron pipe?"

"One against five?" Lu Dongpi snorted, "One against five is too little, it should be at least one against ten, otherwise he will not live up to his name, Brother Bing!"

In the alley, Chen Bing was holding the intercom and making plans with his men. He lowered his voice, but there was a sense of anxiety in his tone: "Brothers, tonight we are relying on you! We won't take the initiative to attack, but if anyone dares to get close, we will just shoot them back!"

"Brother Bing, the people next door have started moving!" A subordinate suddenly ran over to report, "They seem to be loading goods!"

"Loading?" Chen Bing's eyes were a little flustered, but he quickly covered it up. "Damn, are they real or fake? We have to go and see. Leave half of the people to guard the place, and the others follow me!" At the same time, Kanta's men also started to move in the alley next door. The man in the windbreaker and a few others quietly approached to observe, and whispered: "Boss, there seems to be something over there... Is it cargo?"

"Watch them first, don't act rashly." The leader replied, but his eyes were fixed on the front. "Wait until Xi Mihua's people make a move first, then we will have a reason to intervene."

The black cat at the other end of the alley seemed to care nothing about it. It lay leisurely on the pile of boxes, wagging its tail from time to time, as if this confrontation was just an insignificant scene in its boring life.

In the stadium, Su Hanze looked at the screen with a faint smile on his face. He whispered, "The game has reached a critical point. Now, whoever moves first will lose."

"Xiao Wu, if there really is something this time, you'd better not let us down!" Chen Bing lowered his voice, but there was a hint of bluffing and toughness in his tone.

"Brother Bing, when did I fail?" Xiao Wu pouted, but couldn't help looking around, "But, come to think of it, this seems like a trap set up by someone!"

"Whether it's a bureau or not, we have to find out." Chen Bing glared at him. "Besides, do you dare not listen to Brother Hua's instructions?"

At the same time, Kanta's deputy was also keeping a close eye on the movements in the alley. He reported in a low voice through the headset: "Sir, Xi Mihua's people are approaching, and it seems that they are also suspicious of the news here."

"Very good." Kanta's voice remained calm. "Let them move first. What we need to do is make sure they expose themselves completely."

The deputy frowned: "But, if they find that there is nothing here, they will retreat..."

"Then let them doubt for a while." Kanta chuckled. "Doubt is the best weapon. It can make people unable to move forward."

On the other side of the alley, the Ludong Beer night market stall had almost turned into a lively social venue. The onlookers were eating chicken wings while discussing the situation in the alley.

"Brother Pi, those people who just passed by are Xi Mihua's people, right?" asked a young man in a baseball cap.

"Nonsense, they've even taken out the iron pipe, who else could it be if not his people?" Lu Dongpi answered carelessly, "But don't worry, if a fight really breaks out, my stall will definitely be the first place to watch!"

"Brother Pi, aren't you afraid that the fight will affect us?" Ah Quan came over, his face full of worry.

"What are you afraid of? Even if we are affected, we will still be honored to die." Lu Dongpi said proudly while chewing a piece of braised lotus root, "Besides, we have Brother Ze to protect us, who dares to touch our stall?"

In the stadium, Su Hanze stared at the screen intently, which showed the dynamics between the two alleys. Chen Bing's men were approaching carefully, and Kanta's men also began to disperse, obviously wanting to catch some clues.

"Brother Ze, they're moving." Ah Bing was holding a bag of melon seeds, his expression full of excitement. "Chen Bing's people have already started to surround us, and Kanta's people have also split into two groups. This time, it's going to be lively!"

"Let them move." Su Hanze said calmly, his eyes fixed on the screen. "It's easier to make mistakes at times like this. Whoever reveals his cards first will lose."

Deep in the alley, the black cat suddenly jumped down from the box and lightly jumped into the shadows. Its light movements attracted the attention of Chen Bing and his gang.

"Xiao Wu! Look, the cat ran away!" Chen Bing shouted in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in his tone.

"Brother Bing, why are you so nervous about a cat?" Xiao Wu was speechless. "We are here to check the goods, not to catch cats!"

"What do you know? The direction the cat is running to might be where the goods are!" Chen Bing gritted his teeth, "Don't worry about it. I'm sure what I said is right!"

Although Chen Bing's judgment was absurd, it was really a coincidence that the cat moved towards a corner, and in that corner, Kanta's men were quietly making arrangements.

Kanta's deputy whispered through the headset: "Sir, Xi Mihua's men are approaching our position. Should we retreat in advance?"

"Retreat?" Kanta's tone was a little colder. "Retreat means telling them that we have something to hide. Just wait and see. They won't dare to touch us."

The lights in the alley were dim, and Chen Bing led his men to carefully approach the corner. He took a deep breath, raised the iron pipe, and said softly: "Brothers, get ready! If there is any movement later, rush forward!"

Xiao Wu was so nervous that he was sweating. "Brother Bing, this place looks like an ambush! Should we really charge in?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm here for you, why are you afraid?" Chen Bing turned around and glared at him fiercely, then bravely took a step forward.

At the same time, Kanta's men also held their breath. They hid in the dark, staring at Chen Bing, holding the weapons in their hands tighter and tighter.

In the stadium, A Bing looked at the screen and almost choked on a mouthful of melon seeds: "Brother Ze, if this really happens, who should we cheer for?"

"No one needs to cheer up." Su Hanze said calmly, "They can't meet, this is a virtual game. The real battlefield is not here."

The black cat in the alley suddenly let out a sharp "meow", which was particularly abrupt in the quiet night. Chen Bing's men were so scared that they trembled and almost threw the iron pipe.

"Brother Bing, it's a cat! It's a cat!" Xiao Wu shouted while backing away.

"Damn it! I know it's a cat!" Chen Bing stamped his feet in anger, "But why does this cat always pick on us?"

Kanta's men were also startled by the cat's cry, and the leader cursed in a low voice: "Whose cat is this? What the hell is this!"

The night wind in the alley was getting colder and colder, but the tense confrontation had a sense of absurdity and comedy. Chen Bing held the iron pipe and stood in front of a pile of abandoned wooden boxes, frowning and muttering softly: "I have become the cat's slave tonight. Was this cat sent to mess with me?"

Xiao Wu couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and pointed in the direction where the cat disappeared: "Brother Bing, can cats be assigned tasks? We should keep an eye on Kanta's gang instead of just thinking about the cat."

"You know nothing!" Chen Bing glared at him. "Cats are very smart. Maybe this is a signal. If you don't look around, if the cat has any clues, then we will miss it."
