Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 218 114: Closing the Net (Part )
Teacher Li stood on the side of the boat, looking at the eight-faced Buddha on the big speedboat and smiled.

It seems that my divination was correct. Today is the day when all the hard work will pay off.

Fire Turtle quickly walked to Teacher Li's side and whispered, "Master Li, I have already slowed down the yacht and stopped it. Grandpa will be able to board in five minutes."

five minutes!
Teacher Li felt his heart pounding. When he thought that he would be able to end it all in five minutes, he wanted to howl loudly. However, he could not show any excitement now, as this would easily allow the Eight-Faced Buddha to see through him.

He still maintained his usual polite smile and waved at the eight-faced Buddha on the speedboat.

Five minutes later, the propeller of the yacht stopped turning, the propulsion force disappeared, and the boat stopped steadily on the sea.

Teacher Li stood in front of the folding stepladder, stretched out his left hand, and welcomed the Eight-Faced Buddha to board the boat.

Seeing his most trusted right-hand men, the Eight-Faced Buddha smiled, stretched out his right hand, grabbed Teacher Li's left hand, and got on the yacht. The Eight-Faced Buddha's new bodyguard Liu Baocan also got on board and followed behind the Eight-Faced Buddha without saying a word.

The driver on the big speedboat first blew a whistle and made a six gesture to the Eight-Faced Buddha, which is the boatman's code word, an auspicious word, wishing a safe journey. The boatmen are very superstitious, and no matter what they do or say, they will ask for good luck.

The driver honked the horn, blew the whistle, then drove the speedboat in a graceful arc across the sea and sailed away.

The Eight-Faced Buddha watched the speedboat leave, made a six gesture, and stared in a daze at the direction where the speedboat disappeared.

"Brother Fo, I've asked someone to clean up the room."

"I originally wanted to try my luck in Singapore, but now it seems that the plan has to change. After we replenish our supplies in Singapore, we will return to Chiang Mai. This way, please."

Teacher Li suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, reported to the Eight-Faced Buddha in his usual speaking rhythm, and then invited the Eight-Faced Buddha to board the boat.

"Li Zai, you have made a very good arrangement. Come on board first. I want to have a drink. Ah Le was killed by someone. Although it is not clear yet, it is not clear whether it was Tian Si who took advantage of the situation or the handsome guy who robbed the thief."

"Notify Yaqi and ask him, the middleman, to get Do out of here. This evil woman must know something. We must catch her alive."

As soon as Wang Le was mentioned, the expression on Eight-Faced Buddha's face became very painful. It was very difficult to cultivate a loyal leader who knew him well. It would take at least three to five years to do it.

But in the next three to five years, the house demolition business has to be done, and it seems that Teacher Li needs to take on more responsibilities.

While thinking, the Eight-Faced Buddha walked up. Teacher Li was indeed a good person, with a sharp mind and thoughtful work. It was precisely because of this that he was worried that the second-in-command was wise and capable, while he was getting older and older.

Now that A Le is dead, some business channels will naturally be handed over to Teacher Li, and some of the men who are willing to work hard for him will also be handed over to him. With the channels and the men, he can set up a new stall anytime and anywhere and compete with himself.

This is rare in Asia, but in the Silver Triangle, it is a very normal matter. When the second-in-command sees that the leader lacks control and has taken control of the original factory and suppliers, he will immediately take action and send the leader's entire family to reunite in the underworld.

The famous old Antonio was shot in the head by his second-in-command while he was eating Brazilian barbecue in the back garden. All the more than 30 members of his family died in an orderly manner, and they were not alone at all.

But he cannot delay his business, because if he does, the local tyrants in the triangle area will not let him go.

This scale is very difficult to grasp. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything.

With his head full of worries, the Eight-Faced Buddha walked rather nonchalantly. He passed through the cabin and came to the terrace of the yacht.

The beautiful waitress who had just been flying with Teacher Li had already taken a shower, changed into a new work outfit, and was standing aside with a tray of champagne.

Seeing that the Eight-Faced Buddha was in a bad mood, Teacher Li walked up to the waitress with a smile, pinched her cheek, then picked up a glass of champagne, walked to the Eight-Faced Buddha and handed it to him.

"Brother Fo, we are all prepared for this. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God. Ah Le will not blame you."

"Ah Le has only one grandma left in his family. I send money to her on time every month so that she can live a life of ease and comfort until the end of her life. If Ah Le knew about this, he would definitely kowtow to you, Brother Fo, to express his gratitude."

"This is the most authentic French champagne, a bottle costs more than 8,000 yuan. After drinking it, all the unhappiness will disappear."

Teacher Li did not reach for champagne, but picked up a glass of red wine and clinked glasses with the Eight-Faced Buddha.

He sighed in his heart and smiled. Teacher Li was right. Ah Le was dead. The only thing he could do now was to take care of Ah Le's family. He drank the champagne in the glass in one gulp, tasted it, and then said, "It tastes good!"

"Have someone order two boxes. General Luo's birthday is coming up in a few days. He loves drinking and can't live without alcohol. He will definitely like these two boxes of top-quality champagne."

"Teacher Li, I forgot to introduce you to this handsome guy. He is Liubao Can, Ah Can. He is very skilled and can kick down a tree. An old friend introduced him to me. If he wants to follow me, you need to give him more advice in the future, Teacher Li."

The Eight-Faced Buddha introduced the bodyguard Liu Baocan behind him to Teacher Li, and let the two of them get to know each other. Liu Baocan is not the head horse yet, but just a bodyguard. After testing him for a period of time and confirming that he is not a needle or a traitor, he will be given something to do.

"One kick can break a tree, so sharp!"

"Then we must have a drink together!"

Teacher Li exaggeratedly praised Liu Bao Shen, then snapped his fingers and asked the waitress standing nearby to come over and give Liu Bao Shen a glass of champagne.

Bodyguards are not allowed to drink alcohol. Liu Baocan looked at Bamianfo awkwardly, but seeing that his new boss had no objection, he happily picked up the champagne glass, raised it with both hands, lowered the glass, clinked it with Teacher Li's, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Frank! I like straightforward people."

Seeing Liu Baoshen drink up all the champagne so readily, Teacher Li was also very happy. He also drank most of the red wine in his hand in one gulp.

He wiped the red wine stains off his mouth, then looked at the henchmen beside him and said loudly, "One glass each, let's toast to Master Fo together. Whether we can make a lot of money in the future depends entirely on Brother Fo, the leader, the alpha wolf."

"As the saying goes, a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. We want to follow Brother Fo and eat meat together."

"Cheers to Brother Buddha!"

Teacher Li raised his red wine glass and shouted to the men around him.

The henchmen were all very excited. They had heard what Teacher Li had just said. They also wanted to try the champagne that cost HK$8,000 a bottle.

Although the Eight-Faced Buddha was very generous to his subordinates, they could only get 10,000 or 20,000 Hong Kong dollars every month. This was a lot of money, but they dared not spend it recklessly. Every month, they would mail the money back to their families.

Grandpa provides food and accommodation, and usually hides in the mountains of Chiang Mai, so there is no place to spend money.

So when they heard Teacher Li's cheering, they quickly took the chilled champagne from the waitress's tray, raised their glasses, and shouted in unison: "Cheers to Grandpa."

Seeing that everyone had champagne in their hands, Teacher Li continued to shout loudly: "Loyalty and loyalty, I wish Brother Fo eternal youth. Long live Brother Fo!"

"I wish Grandpa eternal youth, long live long live long!"

Teacher Li was so excited that he knelt on one knee, held the red wine glass in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

As long as there are many people, there will be no shortage of flatterers. Those with smart heads immediately followed suit, kneeling on one knee and shouting loudly, "Long live the king!" At this time, the Eight-Faced Buddha felt extremely satisfied. His face was still kind and smiling warmly, but his heart was filled with joy. He immediately threw away all his worries, including the king.

No East Asian man can resist the temptation of being the only one in power, nor can he refuse the shouts of "Long live the king".

After Teacher Li finished shouting, he looked at the Eight-Faced Buddha, waiting for him to take the bait.

As expected, the Eight-Faced Buddha looked at Teacher Li with a reproachful expression, and said politely: "What the hell! We are all brothers, don't make things so awkward!"

"Come! Drink this glass of wine, and we will be as one from now on!"

"One mind and one body!"

"Everybody do it!"

As an excellent supporting actor, Mr. Li was determined not to let any word fall to the ground. He quickly followed with a sentence and then drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"One mind and one body!"

The thugs around also quickly shouted along, and then drank all the expensive French champagne in the glasses.

"Okay! Stop being weird!"

"Look what you guys are doing?"

"You are playing Pai Gow in broad daylight. This is the waters of the Hong Kong River. If you are caught by the police, you will definitely be fined."

"Teacher Li, you just can't live without gambling in your life!"

Eight-Faced Buddha drank another glass of champagne, then walked to the table and found Teacher Li playing mahjong with his lackeys. He said something to Teacher Li in a very disappointed tone, then said to the lackeys around him: "You bunch of bastards, if you play cards with Teacher Li, you may not be able to wear your pants in the future."

"Teacher Li is the boss. You guys, even if you have billions of dollars, are not enough to beat Teacher Li!"

"Hahaha"

Teacher Li laughed dryly a few times. Seeing that his past was exposed by the Eight-Faced Buddha, he denied it directly: "Brother Buddha, don't talk nonsense. I can find a lawyer to sue you for defamation."

"Brother Fo, you are an old gambling king, would you like to play a few rounds with us?"

After hearing Teacher Li's suggestion, the Eight-Faced Buddha also felt a little itchy, and immediately replied: "Okay, since Teacher Li invited me, I will play a few games. Teacher Li is your banker, so you better be careful!"

Teacher Li chuckled a few times. He shuffled the cards and stacked them up again. Then he picked up the sieve on the table and shook it a few times, muttering to himself, "Touch one or two, shout seven or eight, don't touch nine!"

"Heaven is nine, Earth is nine, four of us sit down and play Pai Gow."

"The boat waits for no one, go!"

After shouting the jingle, Teacher Li opened the sieve, determined the points, reached out to grab the cards, and then looked at the four cards in his hand attentively.

The Eight-Faced Buddha took a look at the cards in his hand, then took out the wallet from his pocket, picked out two big gold bulls, and threw them in front of himself.

The other henchmen who got the cards took out the money they had earned in the past two days from their pockets, threw it in front of themselves, and then waited for Teacher Li to open the cards.

Seeing that everyone had placed their bets, Teacher Li smiled triumphantly, then showed the cards in his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill all, Supreme Treasure, kill all." He threw the cards in his hand onto the table.

The first two cards thrown out are white two and red four, and the two cards turned over later are white one and white two.

This is the biggest card in Pai Gow!
What the Eight-Faced Buddha said was very right. Teacher Li was indeed an honest man. After playing the cards on the table for a couple of times, he would know all of them. They were more obedient than his own children and he knew exactly who had what cards.

Everyone present was dejected. They threw the cards in their hands onto the table and watched their own banknotes go into Teacher Li's pocket.

Teacher Li put away the banknotes, quickly reshuffled the cards, and stacked them neatly. He was about to shake the dice cup, but suddenly he held his stomach, looking embarrassed, and quickly said to the Eight-Faced Buddha: "Brother Buddha, I have to trouble you to be the banker this time."

"When you get older, you can't drink iced red wine. Your stomach can't handle it."

"Everyone play first! Everyone play first!"

Teacher Li, holding his stomach, fled in panic, leaving Eight-Faced Buddha and others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Fuck off the street! You should stop coveting coolness when you are old!"

"Keep playing!"

The Eight-Faced Buddha cursed, picked up the dice cup, shook it a few times, then opened the dice cup and started drawing cards according to the numbers on it.

After meeting with the South Asian buyers early in the morning and then wandering around Hong Kong for a long time, Eight-Faced Buddha felt his eyelids a little heavy. As he got older, his energy was not as good as before. He remembered that when he first became friends with the boss, he could go without sleep for three days and drove a big speedboat to help Yi Qun transport goods.

He yawned and continued to look at the cards in his hand. His brothers were all in high spirits, and as the boss, he certainly couldn't leave and ruin everyone's mood.

"Bang."

The fire turtle who was playing cards couldn't hold on any longer and hit his head on the table with a loud noise.

"What the hell!"

"Brother Fire Turtle, if you are sleepy, go back to your room and sleep. Don't sleep on the table!"

"Oh my god! I have a very good hand, Brother Fire Turtle, you have to pack up the cards!"

"."

The fire turtle fell to the ground, motionless, and no matter how it was called, there was no response.

Seeing the Fire Turtle sleeping soundly, the Eight-Faced Buddha felt something was wrong, but being an old hand, he didn't say anything. He turned his head to look at the Liubao Ginseng beside him and asked his new bodyguard to go and see what was going on.

Liu Baocan understood the look in the Eight-Faced Buddha's eyes, walked over quickly, patted the fire turtle's face a few times, and then put his hand under the fire turtle's nose.

If he is breathing, he is fast asleep.

Liu Bao Shen frowned and stood up, but he felt dizzy and almost fell.
