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

Chapter 232 Who leaked the news?
Jin Shao was hiding in his villa at the moment, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. **The living room of the villa was in a mess, with wine bottles, ashtrays, and even a broken table lamp scattered on the floor.

"Damn it! I, Young Master Jin, actually had my goods robbed! How dare those bastards from the North attack my ship?!" Young Master Jin kicked over the table, furious.

Xiao Tan stood aside and whispered, "Master, the police are watching us now. We have to keep a low profile and we can't make trouble at this time."

"Keep a low profile?!" Young Master Jin's eyes widened, he grabbed Xiao Tan by the collar and lifted him up, "You want me to keep a low profile? Then wouldn't I, Young Master Jin, become a joke?! How can I swallow this?!"

"Master, how about... let's go find the eldest concubine and ask her to put some pressure on the northerners? They wouldn't dare to disrespect the gambling king." Xiao Tan struggled to speak.

Young Master Jin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Yes! How could I forget about the eldest concubine? The eldest concubine's words are final in front of the gambling king. If she shows up, how dare those northerners be so arrogant?"

"Master is wise!" Xiao Tan immediately flattered him.

"Get lost! Get someone to prepare the car. I'll go find the concubine myself." Young Master Jin gritted his teeth, his eyes showing a hint of ferocity. "I, Young Master Jin, must get back at you for this!"

**At the same time, Lu Dongpi in Xiwan was laughing in a warehouse. **Several of his men sat around him, listening to him talk about how Young Master Jin and the northerners had a fight that ended in a loss for both sides, and they all applauded.

"Hahaha! Did you see that? Young Master Jin was yelling like a mad dog, but now he was robbed by people from the north. He's covered in dirt and dust, it's so hilarious!" Lu Dongpi slapped his thigh and laughed so hard that tears almost came out.

"Brother Pi, you are sitting pretty this time. The harder Young Master Jin and the northerners fight, the more chaos will happen in Xiwan, right?"

"It's a good mess! The more chaotic it is, the more comfortable I, Lu Dongpi, am." Lu Dongpi flicked away his cigarette butt and said proudly, "You guys keep a close eye on me. Report any disturbance immediately. Now, let's see how Su Hanze cleans up this mess."

"Brother Pi, don't you think Su Hanze has been a little too patient? In such a big fight, he didn't even fart."

"Tolerate? He's an old fox." Lu Dongpi grinned, narrowed his eyes and said, "It would be strange if he didn't move in this game."

**In the private room of the Regent Hotel, the concubine sat on the sofa calmly, fanning herself in one hand, with a look of contempt in her eyes. **Standing in front of her, Young Master Jin had a face full of anger and grievance.

"Auntie, the northerners are really going too far! They dare to hijack my ship. Isn't this a slap in the face of the gambling king?" Young Master Jin said while gritting his teeth.

The eldest concubine looked at him coldly, waved her fan, and said slowly: "Your own ship was hijacked, who do you blame? Were the northerners bullying you, or are you incompetent?"

"Auntie, this..." Young Master Jin was choked and his face turned red. "This is not my fault, it's Su Hanze! He deliberately spread the news and let the northerners target my goods!"

"Su Hanze?" The concubine laughed softly, with a sharp gleam in her eyes. "Don't put all the blame on him. No one has the right to drink the water in Xiwan alone. You can't get any yourself, so why do you blame others?"

"But Auntie, you can't just watch me being bullied by people from the north! I'm the son of the gambling king!" Young Master Jin was so anxious that sweat was almost coming out of his face.

"Son of the gambling king? Can you grow up a little bit?" The eldest concubine looked at him coldly, with a hint of impatience in her voice, "I will take care of Xiwan's affairs. If you really want to gain a foothold in the underworld, first learn from Su Hanze and learn what it means to be able to bend and stretch."

"Auntie!" Young Master Jin was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the concubine. He could only lower his head and mutter, "One day, I will let Su Hanze know who is the king of Xiwan!"

In the office at Xiwan Wharf, Su Hanze was slowly brewing tea, his eyes lightly sweeping over the account book on the table. Xiaolong stood aside, looking unconvinced.

"Brother, this northerner is too arrogant. He actually dared to rob Young Master Jin's goods! Now people are saying that you deliberately spread the rumor. Young Master Jin wants to eat you!"

"Let him eat." Su Hanze smiled faintly and pushed the brewed tea in front of Xiaolong. "Everyone wants to blow the wind in the world, but if it blows too much, it will easily make you lose your balance."

"But the wind is blowing on your head now!" Xiaolong said anxiously, "Young Master Jin will definitely not let it go!"

"Give up?" Su Hanze sneered, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Young Master Jin's confidence comes from the protection of the gambling king. And the gambling king's confidence comes from interests. The eldest concubine understands me and can see the situation in Xiwan clearly. If Young Master Jin is smart, he should understand who is the one who can really stabilize this situation now."

"Brother, do you mean that the eldest concubine is testing you?"

"More than testing, she is selecting people for the gambling king." Su Hanze said slowly, turning the Buddhist beads in his hand one by one, his eyes deep, "Xiwan is a big piece of meat. Who is qualified to eat it and who can keep it is what the gambling king really cares about."

"So what should we do next?" Xiaolong asked.

"Simple." Su Hanze smiled, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, "Give away the warehouse location of the northerners and say that their goods are dirty."

"Dirty stuff?" Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and laughed so hard that he almost slammed the table, "Great, brother! The cops will definitely be dispatched now. Even if the northerners have the guts, they will be defeated!"

"The rules of the underworld are not based on fists, but on brains." Su Hanze said calmly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his voice, "After tonight, no one will mess up the chessboard in Xiwan again."

That night, the northern warehouse in Kowloon Walled City was raided by the police. The sirens rang throughout the night. Several northerners' men were trapped in a corner and handcuffed on the spot.

Old Ge sat in the car, his eyes gloomy and almost dripping with water. He pounded the steering wheel hard and said with gritted teeth: "Su Hanze! You loach, how dare you plot against me, a northerner?!"

At Xiwan Pier, Su Hanze stood on the tower crane, lit a cigarette, and looked at the night gradually returning to calm at the pier, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Brother, the northerners are defeated. Now Xiwan is completely peaceful." Xiaolong said excitedly.

"Peace?" Su Hanze narrowed his eyes and gently exhaled a puff of smoke. His eyes were deep and calm. "This is just the beginning. Xiwan's cards have been revealed, but the real winner will not be revealed until the last moment."

The whole room of Master Jin's villa was filled with smoke. Xiao Tan stood aside, holding the phone in his hand, his face pale, his lips trembling: "Master, it's bad! The warehouse of the northerners was seized by the police, and the brothers passed on the news that Lao Ge was so angry that he almost overturned the table and swore to settle the score with you!"

"What?!" Young Master Jin suddenly jumped up from the sofa, ripped off the silk scarf around his neck, and smashed a valuable glass ashtray to the ground, sending fragments flying everywhere. "Why did that bastard Old Ge come after me?! I didn't blow up the warehouse!"

"Master, people outside say that you spread the rumor. People in the north have already determined that you did it." Xiao Tan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tentatively, "There is another piece of news...someone saw Su Hanze's men appear near the fortress that night."

“Su Hanze!” Young Master Jin gritted his teeth, his eyes red, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. “I knew this kid wouldn’t behave himself! He’s trying to instigate a fight between me and the northerners! Damn it, he’s playing dirty, right? I, Young Master Jin, am no pushover either!”

"Master, what are you going to do? Should we notify the concubine?" Little Tan asked in a low voice. "Notify the concubine? I went to find the concubine, but she scolded me back!" Young Master Jin snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with cruelty, "Go, call everyone, I will lead the team tonight and give the northerners a warning! Don't they want to fight? I will play with them to the end!"

At the same time, in the dark alley of Kowloon Walled City, Lao Ge was sitting in a simple little room with a broken wooden table in front of him. On the table was the list of warehouses that had just been raided. Lao Ge's face was frighteningly gloomy, and his eyes stared at his men like a venomous snake.

"Tell me clearly, who leaked the news?"

"Brother Ge, this matter... our people didn't show up! But it's been widely rumored outside, saying that it was done by Young Master Jin." The subordinate was sweating profusely and his voice was trembling.

"Young Master Jin?" Old Ge fiercely extinguished the cigarette in his hand and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, this brat really dared to touch my warehouse? Do you think I, a northerner, am made of mud? Okay, then let's fight! Call all the brothers and give him a good beating tonight!"

"Brother Ge, but...if the concubine knew about this..."

"What are you afraid of?!" Old Ge slammed the table and stood up, his eyes fierce, "If the concubine wants to follow the rules, that's the gambling king's business. I, a northerner, won't tolerate this! If Young Master Jin doesn't die tonight, how can I, Old Ge, survive in the underworld in the future?"

Lu Dongpi was playing mahjong in his own mahjong parlor, with several younger brothers behind him passing cigarettes and pouring tea, the scene was relaxed and joyful. The four people at the card table were having a great time, when suddenly a younger brother rushed in and shouted in a panic: "Brother Pi! Something big has happened!"

"Why are you panicking?!" Lu Dongpi threw a card on the table and turned his head slowly, "What's going on? Is someone eyeing my mahjong parlor again?"

"No, Brother Pi, Young Master Jin has taken people to block Old Ge from the north! The two sides are going to fight in the city tonight!"

"Oh?" Lu Dongpi raised his eyebrows, took a long puff of the cigarette, and smiled with his big yellow teeth showing, "These two really can't sit still! They are playing with fire more and more."

"Brother Pi, look at us..."

"We?" Lu Dongpi put down his cigarette, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Of course we are here to watch the show! How can we miss such a good show of dog-eat-dog? But..." He looked up at the younger brother beside him and paused slightly, "Find a few smart brothers, bring a camera, and take pictures in the chaos. If something goes wrong, this will be a good bargaining chip."

"That's great! Brother Beer! You can make a fortune without offending both the black and white worlds!" The younger brother immediately nodded with a smile.

"It's good that you understand." Lu Dongpi flicked the ash on the ground, crossed his legs and continued to draw cards. "In the arena, living smart is more important than anything else."

At Xiwan Wharf, Su Hanze sat in his office, counting the Buddhist beads in his hand one by one, listening to Xiaolong's report with a playful smile on his lips.

"Brother, Young Master Jin and the northerners are going to fight in the city tonight, and both sides have brought a lot of people. Lu Dongpi has also sent people over, and it seems they are going to take advantage of the situation." Xiaolong said with a beaming look on his face, with a hint of excitement.

"What a mess." Su Hanze uttered these three words softly, his expression still calm.

"But brother, what if someone gets killed and the police get involved? Wouldn't that ruin the whole Xiwan?" Xiaolong asked worriedly.

"Crush it? Crush it." Su Hanze put down the Buddhist beads and looked up at Xiaolong with a sharp gaze. "Think about it, where is there clean meat in this world? The more chaotic the land of Xiwan is, the one who stays in the end will be the real winner."

"So...what do we do now? Just watch?"

"Of course not." Su Hanze smiled slightly, "Send someone to the scene where Young Master Jin and the northerners are fighting, and keep a close eye on all of their men. As soon as they make a move, send the news to the police."

"Brother, are you going to use the help of the police to catch them all in one fell swoop?"

"The police are more ruthless than anyone else if they use them well." Su Hanze stood up, walked to the window, looked at the boats on the dock, and said calmly, "The bigger they play, the worse they lose. I can still beat them down without taking any action."

Xiaolong was stunned and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Great! Brother, your move is really ruthless and awesome!"

"The most ruthless thing in the underworld is not the knife, but the brain." Su Hanze said with a smile.

The streets of Kowloon Walled City were in chaos at this moment.

Young Master Jin led a large group of people, holding iron bars and machetes, and blocked the entrance of the fortress. The people of Lao Ge from the north were not to be outdone, all wearing black jackets and bald heads, holding weapons in their hands, and facing them coldly.

"Mr. Jin, if you don't make your point clear today, no one will be able to leave!" Lao Ge stood in the crowd, pointing at Mr. Jin, his voice as cold as ice.

"Speak clearly? You northerners deserve it! Who told you to hijack my ship?!" Young Master Jin picked up the iron rod and shouted angrily, "Let's settle the account today!"

"Okay, let's see who is tougher!" Lao Ge picked up the steel pipe in his hand and smashed it hard on the ground.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the troops on both sides rushed up instantly, sticks and swords flashing everywhere, shouts and screams intertwined together, the dark alleys of the entire city were like hell opened, and the situation was completely out of control.

At the same time, in a low-key black car in the distance, Lu Dongpi's subordinate was holding a camera, his face full of joy: "Brother Pi, this picture is amazing! Young Master Jin is so fierce, and the northerners are also like crazy. If this photo is sold, no one can escape!"

"Just film it well, don't include us in the film." Lu Dongpi leaned back in his chair, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and smiled like an old fox. "After tonight, the drama in Xiwan should come to an end."

The police sirens blared in the distance, and alternating red and blue lights illuminated the entire alley.

Jin Shao and Lao Ge's men were caught by the police. They squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, with shock and anger on their faces.

"Who called the police?! Who dared to call the police?!" Jin Shao yelled with his eyes wide open and his face flushed.

Old Ge also had a gloomy face and gnashed his teeth: "Su Hanze! It must be him who did this!"

In the office at Xiwan Wharf, Su Hanze stood by the window, looking at the red and blue warning lights in the direction of the Walled City from afar, and said lightly: "After tonight, the water in Xiwan will finally be clear."
