Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 192: Special Auction

Yuan Renqing, who was following behind, saw the black van with license plate number ABD360 in front start up, so he also started his Crown car and followed it.

Although Tian Si's face showed no sign of sadness or joy, his attention was on the van in front of him. He noticed that there was a very conspicuous lion pattern on the rear of the black van.

He was not unfamiliar with this pattern, as it was the image of a Chinese lion.

When he was young, he went to Kyoto and Nara to watch the Noh play "Stone Bridge". The story was very simple. Qingliang Mountain (now Mount Wutai in SX Province) was regarded as the pure land of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

In the play, a monk named Ji Zhao travels in China and India, visiting holy places related to Buddhism. One day he comes to the stone bridge of Qingliang Mountain and meets a young man who is chopping wood.

The boy told him that the stone bridge led to the Pure Land of Manjushri Bodhisattva. The bridge was narrow and spanned a deep valley, making it difficult for mortals to cross. It symbolized the difficulty of practice, but if he stayed by the bridge, he would see a miracle. Then the boy disappeared.

Then, from the other side of the bridge, the lion of Manjushri appeared.

The lion frolics among the gorgeous and fragrant peony flowers and performs the lion dance before returning to its position as the mount of Manjushri.

This play is about enlightenment.

After watching this Noh play, Tenshi did not experience any so-called enlightenment, but instead became more and more interested in karate and kendo, and became extremely obsessed with the ronin culture of the Taisho period.

The lion image at the rear of the black van is very similar to the one in the Noh play "Ishibashi".

Tian Si stared at the lion in the van in a daze, without saying a word. After a while, he looked away.

The three cars moved forward at a constant speed, left Hong Kong Island, entered Kowloon Island along the cross-sea tunnel, circled Mong Kok, and then slowly circled Mong Kok for a long time before leaving Canton Road and driving into Yau Ma Tei.

Tian Si had been observing the situation on the street. He found that there were very few pedestrians in Mong Kok tonight, and there were many policemen walking around. Paparazzi were also taking pictures everywhere with cameras. It seemed that there was a big trouble.

But he didn't care. The focus of tonight was Uesugi Yue. Everything else had nothing to do with him.

After entering Yau Ma Tei, the three cars did not go to the four streets where the handsome man was watching the show, but went to Cheung Lok Street instead.

He who is content is always happy, but few can do so.

All human happiness and unhappiness come from unfulfilled desires.

The van stopped in front of a stall that had already closed. Ji Mi, wearing the same clothes as the company commander, got out of the car. In front of Tian Si and others, he unloaded a flower basket, placed it in front of the stall, took out the key, opened the rolling door of the stall, and left the door ajar.

After doing all this, Ji Mi waved his hand, asking the people behind him to focus on his hands, pointed to the closed stall, and turned to get in the car.

He had a lot of tasks tonight. He would have to drive to Kowloon Walled City to pick up another group of people.

The black van drove away without any hesitation.

Tian Si did not get out of the car, but gave a look to the ape man who was driving, asking him to send someone to check it out.

Yuan Renqing understood, stretched his hand out of the window, and made a gesture that only the Yazaku gang members could understand. A gang member in a black suit jumped out from the passenger seat of the Suzuki van at the back and quickly walked into the closed stall.

Five minutes later, the gang member came out of the stall and trotted to the front of the Crown car. He said to the Ape Man Qing in the car, "Team Leader, Mr. Qing, there is no one inside, nothing. Judging from the dust inside, the business must have been closed for a long time."

"But there is a projector in the hall and a walkie-talkie on the table."

projector?!

Walkie-talkie?!

A series of question marks appeared in Tian Si's mind. He really had no idea what the handsome Sheng was doing.

If you want to sell Uesugi Yue, just make an offer directly, and then find a place that both parties agree on, where you can exchange money for goods. It's simple and clear.

Why make it so complicated?
But since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. Tian Si pushed open the car door, stepped out of the Crown sedan, and smoothed out his linen suit. Linen is breathable and comfortable, but it will develop a lot of wrinkles, and it is very troublesome to maintain.

When the people in the van at the back saw Tian Si getting off the car, Quick Punch Jack, Jingxia Hong, and several Yazaku gang members also hurriedly got off the car.

"Whether it's a dragon's lair or a bottomless pit, we have to go in and take a look."

"go!"

Knowing that there was no danger inside the stall, Tian Si was the first to walk into the stall.

The members of the Tiandao Group who went to explore the way did not lie. This stall had indeed not been open for a long time.

Xiangjiang is close to the sea and the air is humid, but even so, there is already a layer of dust in the stall. Tian Si looked at the walkie-talkie on the table and found that the walkie-talkie should have been put into the stall later because there was no dust on it.

"Team leader!"

Fast Fist Jack walked to a blackboard covered with a white cloth, lifted it up with force, and the cloth flew away. The chalk words on the blackboard appeared in front of everyone in Yazaku.

【Welcome Mr. Tian Si, please watch the video first】

[At 7:40, I will start discussing with Mr. Tianshi about Mr. Uesugi Koshi’s fate]

【Handsome guy wins】

"Turn off the lights! I want to see what tricks this handsome guy has up his sleeve!"

Tian Si ordered the members of the Tiandao Group guarding the gate to turn off the lights in the stall.

The members of the Tiandao group who were guarding the door of the stall quickly turned off the switch and checked the projector. Jingxiahong found that there was a reminder label with black words on red paper on the button of the projector, with the word to be pressed written in English and Japanese on it.

Jingxiahong pressed the button without any hesitation.

The projector started running, and a bright light shot out from the lens, shining onto the screen on the wall.

The scene appeared, and Uesugi Yue, who was beaten with a bruised face, was hanging in a dark space. Two shirtless men with hoods on their heads and small whips in their hands stood on both sides of the disheveled Uesugi Yue.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Tian Si immediately thought of some restricted movies, all of which were popular movies with FBI warnings in the opening credits.

However, those movies were all about young, beautiful and plump girls, while Uesugi Yue was already an old man over 50 years old. Apart from feeling nauseous, Tian Shi didn't feel anything else.

"Mr. Tian Si, I didn't expect that we would meet in this way. It's really rude."

"But I have found Mr. Uesugi Yue for you. I have to say that Mr. Uesugi is a man of action. He actually completed all the steps within half a month and opened his own kitchen in Hong Kong."

"I, a junior in the martial arts world, really admire Mr. Uesugi's intelligence. He is really smart."

"Before we negotiate, I need to tell you, Mr. Tian Si, that Mr. Uesugi has only suffered a little physical pain, but I think this little physical pain is very worthwhile, and he has already confessed it honestly."

"To be honest, the scholar has a sharp mind, but a very bad heart. He explained in detail how he changed the formula and caused Yazaku, the largest gang in Asia, to suffer huge losses."

"Even if I'm standing from the perspective of a bystander, I'm very angry!"

"Okay! Enough of the small talk. I'm looking forward to talking to you, Mr. Tian Si."

The narration ended, the short film playing on the projector also ended, and the ending credits appeared.

What Tian Si cares most about now is whether Uesugi is dead or alive. As long as Uesugi is alive, he is willing to pay any amount of money.

He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and found that after all the trouble, the time was already 7:40 in the evening. He turned his eyes to the walkie-talkie on the table.

"Ding ding ding ding ding"

A prompt tone rang out from the walkie-talkie, attracting the attention of everyone in the stall.

Tian Si reached out, took off the walkie-talkie microphone and headphones, and heard the greeting from the handsome Sheng.

"Good evening, Mr. Tian Si."

A strange voice came out of the headphones, and Tian Si immediately realized that this was not the voice of the handsome guy Sheng in the short film just now.

"Mr. Tian Si, Brother Sheng has something very important to do today, so he arranged for me to talk to Mr. Tian Si in detail."

"Mr. Uesugi, please say hello to Mr. Tian Si. We are all good brothers and old friends. Say hello and be polite and handsome."

The person on the other side of the microphone was Beibi. He handed the microphone to Uesugi Yue next to him and asked the old man to say hello to Tian Si.

Uesugi Yue, with a bruised face, took the receiver of the walkie-talkie very reluctantly, cleared his throat, and said, "Tenshi-kun, long time no see. I didn't expect to talk to you under such circumstances. It's really rude."

The baby rolled his eyes. It was a life-and-death situation, but he was still being hypocritical and polite. He was such a loser!
