Hong Kong Movie: At the beginning, Big Boss B asked me to draw the death lottery

Chapter 126 Li Zhikai: Does our Li family still have a reputation in Hong Kong?

At He Tai Tea House, He Yaozong was organizing materials for a villa renovation project in Bijia Mountain.

Ring ring ring——

The phone rang. I pressed the answer button and found it was Ah Wu from Number Gang calling.

"How's it going? Did anyone get scratched?"

"He got away, but I didn't expect that these devilish kids from Yizi Village would actually dare to shoot people!"

A Wu's smirk came from the other end of the phone.

"You can't blame me for this. I had someone give him six bullets in total. If they hadn't used modified inert bullets, your men would have been shot in the arm much worse."

"It's alright, as long as the shot was fired!"

He Yaozong gripped the phone tightly and immediately spoke.

"Brother Wu, could you please keep a close eye on Greyhound for me? I need to send someone to do something tonight!"

If all goes well, perhaps your company, Li Zi Dui, will have a share in the building materials business in the New Territories in the future.

"Don't!"

Ah Wu answered very decisively on the other end of the phone.

"I'm not interested in doing business. You give me money, I do things for you, it's that simple!"

"Then I'll have someone send an extra 200,000 to you later."

After a brief conversation, he hung up the phone and then picked up the number again to call Lok Wai-ching.

The phone rang twice before being answered.

"So, is the interview finished?"

"I'm done. I'll take the interview materials back for review later."

Thank you, Mr. He, for giving me this exclusive interview report on the gang's armed attack.

"Let me remind you first, don't forget our agreement. Make a backup of the data and send a copy to me later."

This report might not pass your news department's review!

"Mr. He, how is this possible?"

"Don't talk about possibilities or impossibilities. Just do what we agreed on. That's the condition for me to help you get the exclusive reporting rights!"
-

At 10 p.m., near a pig farm in Tin Shui Wai.

The moon was bright and the stars were few. Greyhound arrived in a van.

Upon entering the pig farm, passing through the pigpen corridor filled with the smell of pig manure, we arrived at the entrance of a feed storage room.

Greyhound, carrying the plastic bag containing the money, knocked on the metal door of the storage room.

"Who?"

A wary question came from inside.

"it's me!"

After a while, the door opened.

Under the moonlight, Ah-Can, who had been looking flustered, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person who came was Greyhound.

"Hey Greyhound, what's the situation like outside?"

"Go in and talk!"

Greyhound gestured to the driver who had come with him to wait in the truck, and then pushed Ah Chan into the storage room.

Upon entering the room, the greyhound sat on a food bag, then dropped the plastic bag containing money on the floor.

Under the indoor light, Ah-Can was shocked to notice the bruises on the greyhound's cheeks.

"Greyhound, Brother Yong, he..."

"You're something else, daring to fire a gun in front of so many people at Baolefang. You're much bolder than me!"

Greyhound stopped him from speaking and then reached out his hand to him.

"Where's the gun?"

"At this!"

Without hesitation, Ah-Can turned around and dug out the gun wrapped in a plastic bag from a pile of mixed feed.

Tearing open the plastic bag, Greyhound played with the pistol, his eyes shining even brighter.

"This is the first time I've ever played with something like this. It really has an indescribable magic to it. Once you hold it in your hand, you just want to pull the trigger."

No wonder you couldn't help but shoot at those people from the Wo Shing Wo group!

Possessing a weapon, the desire to kill arises spontaneously.

Greyhound deftly pushed the safety, his index finger resting on the trigger, seemingly itching to pull it.

Ah-chan, who had already had his fill of it, asked eagerly.

"Hey Greyhound, what's the situation outside right now?"

Greyhound lowered his right hand, which was gripping the gun, and looked coldly at Ah-Can.

"There are cops everywhere outside looking for you!"
Do you realize you've gotten yourself into a huge mess this time?

Ah-chan's face froze for a moment, and he was already filled with regret, but he still tried to remain calm.

"What did Brother Yong say? He can't possibly want me to go back to the mainland, can he?"

"You've made a name for yourself at Bao Le Fang. If you go back to the mainland, you might get shot at. You might as well stay in Hong Kong!"

"I can't just sit here and wait to die, can I?"

"Nobody's leaving you to die!"

Greyhound paused, staring intently at A-Can.

Suddenly, he spoke up: "Do you have a cigarette? Light one for me!"

"it is good!"

Lighting a cigarette for Greyhound, Ah-Can stared at him expectantly, hoping his boss would give him an answer.

Holding a gun in one hand and a cigarette in the other, Greyhound took a deep drag and slowly began to speak.

"Brother Yong asked me to go to Lau Fau Shan to find Snake Boy Ming and make some arrangements for you to run away to the Netherlands!"

"I'm going to the Netherlands alone?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Back when Brother Yong asked me to come to Hong Kong Island, I came all by myself!"

"Shouldn't I at least carry some money with me?"

As Ah-Can spoke, he was already reaching for the black plastic bag on the ground.

He knew that the contents inside were the cash he would use to escape.

Greyhound, however, stuck a cigarette butt into the back of A-Can's hand, burning him so much that A-Can quickly pulled his hand back.

But then Greyhound, gun in his right hand, landed on the ground, squatted on the feed bag, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Ah Chan, how long have you been with me?"

"It's been more than five years..."

Greyhound nodded, then spoke.

"We were both unwanted wild children. In the past five years, I haven't made you suffer, have I?"

"Following Greyhound Bro, there are endless girls to pick up and endless drinks to drink. I'm happy every day!"

Ah-chan thought Greyhound was just being sentimental before parting ways, but to his surprise, Greyhound flicked his bangs and his eyes turned murderous.

"I've enjoyed enough happiness with you for five years."

"You had a gun, knew to hide it, and didn't even tell me?"

"No... Greyhound Bro, that's not what I meant!"

"Hey! Brother Yong slapped me twice earlier, then made me give you the money and arrange for you to take a boat to Lau Fau Shan and run away."

However, on the way here, I got angrier and angrier!
I worked myself to the bone for Yi Zi Dui in Yuen Long, and I couldn't even earn 200,000 HKD in six months.

"You scoundrel fired two shots at Baolefang, and I'm the one who got slapped, while you made 200,000 yuan, leaving me with a mess to clean up. Do you think that's fair?"

As Greyhound spoke, he slowly raised the muzzle of his gun, pointing it at A-Can's head.

Ah-chan was shocked and scrambled to his feet, retreating to the doorway.

"Greyhound Bro, what do you mean by this?!"

"What do you mean? Bearded Yong slapped me twice, and each slap cost 100,000!"

"If you die, this matter will be settled!"

Without hesitation, Greyhound raised his gun, aimed it at Ah-Can, and pulled the trigger.

For a moment, Ah-Can felt his mind go blank, and he was almost scared out of his wits.

click-

No gunshot was fired. Greyhound turned his pistol around in confusion, looking puzzled.

It was only then that Ah-chan came to his senses.

Greyhound had never handled a gun before; he only loaded the magazine but did not push the hammer away from the sear.

Without thinking twice, Ah-Can seized this rare opportunity, opened the metal door, and ran outside.

"Fuck your mother!"

Greyhound grabbed the pistol and threw it outside, then leaped up and drew the gleaming kukri from behind him.

Without any hesitation, he quickly chased after Ah-chan, who was running wildly.

Stepping out of the storage room, Greyhound was dumbfounded.

Outside the storage room, a group of thugs wielding machetes had gathered around.

Ah-chan was pale and had already been knocked down, with a man trampling on him.

The man who arrived was the Dongguan guy who had asked him to settle a score at Rongxing Tea Restaurant that afternoon.

"You bastard, you're really vicious, killing even your own brothers!"

Dongguanzi snapped his fingers at a knife-wielder standing nearby, and someone immediately handed him a machete.

Gripping the machete tightly, Dongguan Boy pulled a scarf from his pocket, tied the handle of the machete to his right wrist, and then waved to Greyhound.

"Didn't you say you were going to kill me? Come here, I'll give you that chance. Kill me tonight, and I'll let these brothers let you go!"

"hehe!"

Greyhound sneered, but his triangular eyes were already darting around furtively, looking for a way to break through.

Unfortunately, the other side was clearly prepared, and the surrounding area was as solid as an iron barrel.

Dongguan guy released Ah Chan from his feet, and two thugs immediately stepped forward and dragged him away.

Then, Dongguan Boy, expressionless, gripped the knife and walked step by step toward Greyhound...

Inside the suite where Li Zhikai is staying at the Lijing Hotel.

jingle——

A crisp doorbell rang, and Li Zhikai turned on the bedside lamp, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Ding dong——ding dong——

The doorbell rang more urgently.

Li Zhikai quickly got up and impatiently called out towards the door.

"Who?"

"Zhikai, open the door!"

The voice coming from outside the door was that of Li Yunlian, the second sister of the Li family.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Zhikai dared not delay. He quickly grabbed his clothes, threw them on haphazardly, and ran over to open the door.

"Second sister, what brings you here so late at night?"

Li Yunlian glanced at him, then went into the room and turned on the chandelier in the outer hall.

Then she grabbed Li Zhikai's hand and walked over to the sofa and got off.

“Zhikai, I know you’ve been harboring resentment all these years because I’ve had you manage the family business in Australia.”

But no matter how aggrieved you feel, you shouldn't not even go home after finally returning to Hong Kong Island, right?

Li Zhikai raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, realizing it was already 12:30 a.m.

He couldn't help but complain, "Second sister, you came to see me so late at night, you didn't just come to talk to me about this, did you?"

Li Yunlian remained silent, scrutinizing her younger brother for a long time.

Then he spoke, "Zhikai, our Li family has a special situation, and you are the only son of Father's branch of the family."

Sending you to Australia to manage the family business is not an attempt to exclude you.

If the situation in Hong Kong stabilizes in the future, the reins of Hysan Development will still be entrusted to you!

"Alright, Second Sister, you've said these things to me countless times."

Why are you coming to see me so late at night instead of sleeping? Is something wrong?

Li Yunlian sighed: "Did you hire someone from the Number Gang to handle the land acquisition project in Bao Le Fang, Yuen Long?"

"That's all?"

Li Zhikai couldn't help but chuckle, then replied, "In the past, when it came to recruiting people and acquiring land in the New Territories, weren't these gangs always the ones who did the work?"
Why did you suddenly need to come and inquire about this so late at night, Second Sister?

Li Yunlian frowned and said coldly.

"Do you know that my phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from newspaper bosses tonight?"

"I know, is it because the number gang hired juvenile gang members to do things? Those juvenile gang members in Yuen Long were chopped up by the Wo Luen Shing gang."

Second sister, you can rest assured. I instructed Bearded Yong to do this in order to ruin the reputation of Hengyao Real Estate and Huasheng Real Estate.

These two companies weren't satisfied with stealing our business in Kowloon Walled City; they even dragged Po Leung Kuk into it, criticizing us for being unscrupulous in the newspapers!
Without resorting to extreme measures, how…

"Do you know that the gang of scions from the Number Gang fired shots near Bao Le Fang?!"

Before Li Zhikai could finish speaking, Li Yunlian coldly interrupted him.

For a moment, Li Zhikai was stunned, and then he stammered out his words.

"I...I didn't tell anyone from the Number Gang to fire the gun!"

"The current situation is that the gang of thugs who fired the shots has been exposed by Wo Luen Shing. They and three of their accomplices have been sent to the police station."

They even invited newspaper reporters to cover the incident. While you were sleeping, I managed to contact almost every major newspaper and news department on Hong Kong Island to suppress the matter.

Li Yunlian looked exhausted and finally put her hand on Li Zhikai's shoulder.

"Zhikai, our Li family has had a tough journey to get started. Once we've lost something, we shouldn't try to pick it up again."

I don't want to see news reports that you colluded with gangs and hired gunmen to forcibly seize land in the Baolefang area.

"The club is a cesspool. You can use it when it's convenient, but don't jump in and cause trouble. Why can't you understand this?"

Li Zhikai was stunned for a moment, shook his head violently, and then stood up and said.

“I’ll call Bearded Yong right away and see what’s going on.”

"That idiot, he's so reckless! I won't entrust any more business in the New Territories to him!"

“I had already called Poon Chi-yung when you were having fun with those former Miss Hong Kong contestants.”

Li Yunlian spoke calmly, but her exhaustion was evident in her words.

"Pan Zhiyong agreed to take responsibility for this matter alone, but the most troublesome thing now is that the gang of thugs that Pan Zhiyong sent to set fire to Baolefang have fallen into the hands of He Liansheng."

If we don't get this person out of trouble, and the Lee family and Hysan Development use this against us, the reputation of Hong Kong Island will suffer greatly!

Li Zhikai couldn't help but find these words somewhat amusing.

"Second sister, does our Li family still have a reputation in Hong Kong?"

Damn it! Maybe if we swallow our pride for another twenty years or so, our reputation might be a little better than the Li family's.

But if you ask me, what's the big deal about reputation? Can it really be exchanged for money?

Li Yunlian shook her head slightly: "If our Li family wants to establish itself in Hong Kong, our reputation, even if it's not good, can't be too bad!"
My father instructed me before he passed away that I must teach you these things.

It's a pity that I've been busy managing business matters all these years, and you've been far away in Australia. I've neglected to discipline you!

"Alright, Second Sister!"

Li Zhikai couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

He flicked his hand, knocking Li Yunlian's hand off his shoulder.

Then he said, "Isn't it just about getting people out? I'll call Bearded Yong again in a bit."

"Whether Hengyao Real Estate wants money or land, I'll try my best to get the people back first."

"If Hengyao Real Estate doesn't give Pan Zhiyong face, you need to personally go and negotiate with them!"

Faced with his second sister's response, Li Zhikai wondered if he had misheard.

He looked at Li Yunlian in disbelief, and after a long while, he finally spoke.

"Second sister? You want me to go and make peace with a gangster?"

Who does He Yaozong think he is? Does he think I'd personally have to humble myself before him?!

Seeing Li Zhikai's unwavering stubbornness, Li Yunlian felt even more helpless.

"Zhikai, my grandfather was shot in the back in Haojiang back then and suffered such a great humiliation. My grandmother was able to personally publish an announcement in the newspaper, stating that the Li family would not hold the incident in Haojiang against him and would give up the cigarette license in Haojiang."

You must understand that the rise and fall of a family cannot be determined by personal preferences or impulsive actions!
As the male head of the family, you must stand up and uphold the family's reputation!

"If you can't act impulsively, what's the point of making so much money?"

All I know is that people worship money; money brings fame!

"Zhikai! If you insist on doing things this way, you'll never have the chance to take charge of Hysan Development!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade her younger brother with her earnest words, Li Yunlian simply stopped trying.

He immediately went straight to the point, and his tone became serious, which immediately intimidated Li Zhikai.

Li Zhikai was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile.

"Second sister, why are you so angry?"

Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. Don't get upset over something so trivial; it's not worth it!

Seeing that Li Zhikai had given in, Li Yunlian's expression softened slightly.

She stood up and said, "Don't worry about gains and losses. Our Lee family has a century-old heritage, and our foundation in Hong Kong is still solid."

Even if we suffer some losses in Kowloon, it doesn't matter. With Hengyao Real Estate and Huasheng Real Estate, they can't cause any trouble in Hong Kong Island!
Remember, don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish, and don't do something that makes you lose the big picture for a small gain!

"I understand, I understand!"

Li Zhikai was just giving perfunctory replies, his only thought being to get rid of his second sister.

Kwai Chung No. 7 Container Terminal.

Inside the air-conditioned storage room, Dongguan guy walked in, holding a cell phone to his ear.

The greyhound, whose tendons had been severed, was tied to a metal shelf. The cold air made him shiver, but even so, his eyes still gleamed fiercely as he glared at the Dongguan guy walking towards him.

"I've seen the dragon head. It's still alive and well, and it's baring its teeth at me!"

Okay, I'll knock all his teeth out in a bit.

Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Okay, I'll wait for your call later, Boss.

The man from Dongguan hung up the phone, then walked silently to the iron frame, rummaged around for a while, and took out a steel pipe that was frozen white.

thump—

With his calloused hands gripping the steel pipe, Dongguan Boy slammed it directly onto the shelf.

Suddenly, the frozen ice on the shelf fell down in a flurry, covering the greyhound's head with a layer of white frost.

Greyhound suddenly shook his head, his eyes wide, and was about to spit phlegm in Dongguan Boy's face when he suddenly saw Dongguan Boy swinging a steel pipe and hitting him straight in the mouth.

hum-

"Ugh—Ah!!"

The greyhound's mouth was immediately smashed open, its upper front teeth coming out in one go, and it let out a mournful howl that sounded like a wailing cry.

"Back when I was in Guangzhou, I often heard people say that you liked to pick at people's tendons and ligaments."

So you're afraid of pain too?

The Dongguan guy, carrying a steel pipe, stood in front of Greyhound and asked expressionlessly.
