Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 757, Section 347: The Main Theme of the Martial World (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
The white crane, sitting on the sofa, didn't know how to speak.

It's not that foreigners are dishonest in business, but this floor lamp is a counterfeit, not even a high-quality replica.

But you can't just say that, it's embarrassing if it gets out. If people find out that the boss of the Metropolitan Bar uses brothels, they'll laugh their heads off.

The most crucial thing is that the Sequoia kids can afford to waste money, but they cannot tolerate being taken advantage of.

Once these big-spending customers think your product doesn't match the description, they won't come back.

Since saying more would only lead to more mistakes, Baihe was too lazy to explain and pointed to the old-fashioned detector on the bookshelf.

Alai walked to the bookshelf, picked up the detector, glanced at the model number, and found that it was the oldest electromagnetic wave detector.

This thing is quite old; it looks like it was phased out during World War II. This kind of detector works very well; the instrument scans electromagnetic signals in a specific frequency band using a built-in antenna.

If a signal is found to suddenly increase in frequency, has a fixed frequency, or changes in a regular pattern, it is considered a suspicious signal.

These are the basic principles of how electromagnetic wave detectors work. Destroying them is very simple; just break the wires inside.

But the truth will out eventually; if the electromagnetic wave detector malfunctions, you can simply buy a new one.

You can find as many of these outdated, obsolete goods as you want in the Sham Shui Po market; it's effortless.

For a genius like Alai who specializes in modifying equipment, taking care of such outdated and obsolete equipment is a matter of minutes.

These obsolete products contain old circuit boards, the first circuit boards that humans normally put into use, which could only record a few simple electromagnetic short waves.

Ah Lai used an electrician's knife to cut open the handle of the detector, peeled off the sealing rubber, and found the memory board, which was only half the size of his palm.

The entire handle is filled with a dense network of wires, a mercury-filled balancing device, and a separate battery.

The standalone battery was very new. When Alai turned it over, he saw a long string of English words.

【Production Location: Liverpool】

[Place of manufacture: Liverpool]

Liverpool my foot!
This looks like a Dapu product; you might even be able to smell the shrimp paste if you look closely.

The black batteries from Dapu have falsely advertised capacity. Despite their large size, they are mostly empty shells with at most two batteries inside.

Ah Lai used needle-nose pliers to cut all the wires, took out the battery, and replaced it with the battery from his own backpack.

If you're going to do a good deed, do it all the way!
He took out a brand new battery from his backpack, purchased through an authorized dealer; it was 800 mAh, exactly as advertised.

He wasn't in a hurry to replace the battery. He followed the wires to the fixed circuit board and removed it.

These old-fashioned circuit boards can only be replaced as a whole, and Ah Lai didn't have the same model in his backpack, so he was forced to upgrade.

He took out a new circuit board from his bag; it was from the washing machine, which he had modified by changing the programs on his home computer.

Originally intended for personal use, with special emphasis on removing the frequency bands I frequently use, it unexpectedly ended up being used for a mission.

"That panda cub has to be paid for!"

Ah Lai muttered something to himself before deftly replacing the circuit board.

After replacing the battery, I immediately connected it, turned on the switch, and performed additional tests on the landline and desk lamp. Finding no beeping sounds, I closed the switch with peace of mind.

"nailed it?"

"Get out of here!"

Baihe stood up, looked at her watch, and realized it was almost time, so she prepared to take Alai out.

"Wait a minute, there's one last thing to finish!" Alai stopped Baihe from leaving, then took out the Black Star pistol that Panda had given him, which was wrapped in a plastic bag, from a hidden compartment in his toolbox.

Where is the safe?

Baihe, who had initially thought it was just a radio, was startled when he saw Alai pull out the short dog and quickly asked, "What's going on?"

"Cooking raw pork?"

"Are you kidding me! The panda didn't even mention falling down!"

Ah Lai glanced at the door subconsciously, then quickly went over and looked through the peephole. He was relieved to find that no one was eavesdropping.

He turned his head to look at the furious Bai He and said helplessly, "Keep your voice down! Do you want megaphone so all the bastards in the bar can hear?"

"I'm just like you, I'm a doer. I do whatever I'm told to do."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth."

"If I do one less thing, at most I'll get a report or complaint. But if you do one less thing, it depends on whether that panda bastard is kind-hearted and whether he'll let you off the hook!"

"Boss, we've already become ghosts, we've confessed everything, so one more time won't make a difference."

"Don't say I don't support you. You're in charge this time. If you shake your head, I'll pack my things and leave immediately. You can talk to that panda bastard yourself. I don't care."

"I don't want to be made into pork! I don't want to either! I'm going to be doing this for the rest of my life!"

When someone stepped forward to take the blame, Alai was naturally willing. He placed the Black Star pistol in Baihe's hand and let Baihe make the decision himself.

The bastard in front of me made one very accurate point: he had already told me everything he needed to tell me.

The plea agreement has already been signed. Even if he were to confront Ninth Sister now and beg for forgiveness on his knees, it would be too late.

A country has its laws, and a family has its rules!
Baihe would never do something as foolish as sacrificing his life for brotherhood.

Bai He looked at the Black Star pistol in his hand, his face full of hesitation, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

"Boss, don't overthink it. We're in the same boat, we have no choice. Since we have no choice, let's just pretend we didn't see it!"

Everyone knows who the boss of the Metropolitan Bar is.

"Now that you're on this pirate ship, no one will let you off without getting your hands dirty. No one on board will be satisfied until your boss is killed."

“Panda is a loyal friend, so he definitely agreed to your request. To put it bluntly, if your boss hadn’t died, even if you left Hong Kong, you would still have to sleep with one eye open.”

"Use me to take down your powerful boss, eliminating any future worries for you. It's a triple celebration!"

Seeing that Brother Baihe was still hesitating, Alai rolled his eyes and continued to drag this loser into the mess.

People nowadays read too many martial arts novels and think that people in the martial arts world only talk about loyalty and righteousness, but in reality, the martial arts world is a quagmire where people eat each other.

Betrayal and betrayal are the main themes!

Last night everyone drank and made merry, swearing brotherhood, but the next morning you'll be hanging on a hook, sold like rice and meat.

There's only one rule to follow when dealing with people from the underworld: they never follow any rules.

Although Ah Lai is a technician, his father has been working at sea for over forty years, and when he comes home, he tells Ah Lai a lot of stories about the sea.

Since ancient times, the Grand Canal and boat guilds have been the hardest-hit areas of the Jianghu (江湖, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry), and the term Jianghu itself is derived from the five lakes and four seas.

There are far more martial arts practitioners adrift on the sea than on land, and countless horrifying stories have been told there.
