Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 526, Section 116: All Visitors Are Guests (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

At this moment, Xi Ren finally understood what Liang Zai Sheng had said: if you don't stand up clearly, Song Sheng's potential competitors will not provide you with protection or investment.

Stand up, stand up like a man, just like in those passionate Japanese manga. Rats in the gutter can't win a game.

“This is a rare opportunity. Professor A, Song Ci, and Professor K are unwilling to speak up, but Professor J may be different. She has already sided with the Number Gang. If there is any problem with this batch of goods, Professor J will have nowhere to go.”

"Even if Ninth Sister wanted to protect Professor J, Deng Qi wouldn't agree. That old codger wouldn't protect a useless person."

After Xiren finished speaking, she twirled her half-damp hair with her fingers and looked at Teacher Li mischievously.

"Ninth Sister is nothing to mention; she's just an immature kid. But Deng Qi of the Number Gang, the prince behind the scenes, is a formidable figure."

“Hong Kong is a criminal’s domain, but those who control the order on the ground are still the Hongmen disciples. Even Song Sheng wouldn’t dare to offend the Triad members. If these Triad elders give an order, not a blade of grass will grow.”

Teacher Li sighed, opened the wooden cigar box on the coffee table, picked out a cigar, cut off the end with cigar tongs, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a match.

Professor J is in charge of the warehouse and the feet. She doesn't have top-tier products like Blue Blood, but she does have Fire Phoenix with a purity of up to 60%. Fire Phoenix is ​​currently a hot commodity in the market.

The Number Gang has a wide network of connections. It is said that all the agents of the Kuomintang's Philippine station defected to Ge Lao, and Ge Lao gave these agents a settlement allowance, enabling them to establish the Number Gang's home-demolition network.

Even the number gang's goods have been sold to law thieves in exchange for a large amount of weaponry.

For those involved in the number-sharing scheme, they have no intention of being the dealer; they prefer to be the distributors, because distributors are more profitable and less likely to be implicated.

“I don’t know Chi Sheng’s specific plans, but I can give you a gift. I believe Chi Sheng will be very happy with this gift.”

Teacher Li exhaled smoke, snapped her fingers, and signaled the two maids behind her to drag over two suitcases.

Xi Ren was also attracted by the two suitcases, especially one of them, which was shaking noticeably, suggesting that there was something alive inside.

“Chi Sheng has not made any move against the judge, which is a major hidden danger. I am a kind-hearted person and cannot bear to see anyone worry, so I stepped in to help.”

"As for the other box, it contains items that I need to keep safe. It's just some documents, and I've already packed them up to make sure they won't get bitten by mosquitoes."

"As for the storage fee, name your price and I won't argue. The patrol horses in the water room have a good reputation in the martial arts world, and I trust Chi Sheng."

Teacher Li planned to store all the key but temporarily unnecessary documents and materials in the secret warehouse newly built by Handsome Sheng. These documents were all incriminating evidence and an indispensable part of Teacher Li's business.

“The price hasn’t been set yet, but I can make the decision. I’ll give Teacher Li an incentive: 10 million yuan for the rice and 3 million yuan for bank transfers per year.”

Teacher Li is not short of money, and Xiren knows that these documents must be very valuable. She has asked for an exorbitant amount, and the extra part is to make up for the mental compensation for not being able to have a spa treatment on time.

"make a deal!"

"Someone will deliver the money to your antique shop this afternoon."

"Before I set off today, I specially went to Wong Tai Sin Temple to draw a fortune stick for you. It was the 73rd, an unfavorable one. It says: 'Riding a horse south and then back north, going east and west without delay. Morning and evening are ordinary things, so keep busy and don't let the year be wasted!'"

"Xiren, you were too clever for your own good, and you ended up killing yourself! All that wasted half a lifetime of anxious thoughts is like a dream that drifts aimlessly in the middle of the night."

"Sometimes, you think you have everything under your control, but it's just wishful thinking on your part."

Teacher Li sighed for a moment, placed his cigar on the designated ashtray, took out the fortune slip he had just drawn from Wong Tai Sin Temple from his suit pocket, put it on the coffee table, stood up, brushed the ash off his clothes, and took his leave. Xi Ren didn't see Teacher Li off; she was pondering his words. She had so many things to deal with lately, a tangled mess, and she didn't know which aspect Teacher Li was referring to.

If she couldn't figure it out, she decided not to think about it for the time being. She picked up the phone on the coffee table and called Handsome Sheng directly, asking him to take the gifts out of the private room.

An hour later, Ah Cong arrived at the private room with two henchmen and swiped his key card to enter.

Seeing that Ah Cong and the other two were all wearing hotel cleaning staff uniforms, Xi Ren smiled faintly, picked up her handbag, and prepared to go to the spa.

Ah Cong was too lazy to deal with Xi Ren, that sly fox, but his genetic talent was still very useful. Even his henchmen felt the pressure and worked their best.

Two oversized suitcases were loaded into the garbage truck. Ah Cong put on his mask, waved his hand, and told his two henchmen to take the two large suitcases to the parking lot first.

He then took out a detector and began to carefully examine every brick, tile, and object in the house, leaving no corner unchecked. Only after finding no extra items did he leave the room.

"Half a lifetime spent indulging in passionate encounters, my feelings only intensified. Early on, I was touched by the winds of love, my heart overflowing with longing."

Leaning against the copper and iron walls of the elevator, Xiren hummed the lyrics of the opera "A Romantic Dream," but her mind was still on what Teacher Li had said before leaving. She was also thinking about where things had gone wrong.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't come up with a single clue.

The elevator doors opened, and Xi Ren, still confused, stepped out of the elevator and into the spa at the Sheraton Hotel.

When the receptionist saw a guest arrive, she greeted her warmly. After Xiren told her the room number and the reservation time, the receptionist quickly flipped through the logbook to check the reservation record.

"Miss, your companion has arrived. Please go to the changing room to change into your bathrobe. The masseuse from Thailand is ready."

"this way please!"

The hostess half-knelt down, took off Xiren's high heels, took out a pair of disposable straw slippers, helped Xiren put them on, and then quickly stood up and led Xiren to the dressing room.

Entering the changing room, Xiren changed into the disposable bathrobe provided by the spa, put the clothes in the wardrobe and locked it, picked up her handbag and walked out of the changing room.

The hostess reached out and took Xiren's handbag, then led her to the reserved private room.

"Miss, what kind of tea would you like?"

"The store offers rose tea, Panax notoginseng concentrated tea, lemon hawthorn lotus leaf tea, as well as oolong tea and Pu'er tea."

The hostess led Xiren to the room, knocked on the door to alert the guests inside, and then asked Xiren what she would like to drink.

"Rose tea! Thank you!"

"Tell the masseuse to wait five minutes before coming in!"

Xiren took the handbag from the hostess and pushed open the door to enter the private room.

"Miss Xiren, you're late!"

Lying on the massage bed, smoking a cigarette, Ninth Sister said with an impatient expression.
