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

Chapter 128 Do you Yi Zizhu choose to be human, or continue being dogs?
As the most special invited guest, Chen Yongren had already arrived.

He sat in an inconspicuous corner, his mind replaying the words He Yaozong had spoken to him, his hand constantly reaching for the .38 pistol tucked into his waistband.

Could it be that the number gang's gunmen will come to kill us to silence us this time?
In fact, Chen Yongren's guess was correct.

The two gunmen had already entered the banquet hall one after the other, passing right by him.

Behind the banquet hall, Dongguanzi was still giving Ah Can a final pep talk.

"Your boss was about to kill you, but I saved you!"

Why think so much? Just explain everything in front of the media later.

You'll only be locked up for three to five years at most. I'll take care of things with Greyhound!

"But I'll remind you in a moment, if you dare to spout nonsense in front of a bunch of reporters, you won't have an easy time in jail!"

Ah Chan simply nodded blankly, and then, urged by Dongguan boy, turned and walked towards the banquet hall.

Upon seeing Wo Luen Shing lead a group of people out, a group of reporters immediately stirred.

Fortunately, there were henchmen maintaining order in front, which barely managed to protect the young thug as he made it to the front of the stage.

"Investigate and kill him; don't let him utter a single word!"

Upon seeing Ah-chan emerge, the bearded gunman immediately disregarded his presence. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to what was happening behind them, the two of them pulled out hoods from their pockets and put them on their heads.

They then climbed onto a dining table and each pulled out a pistol from behind their waist.

Bang - Bang -

These two gunmen were rare veterans in the Number Gang. Standing on the table, they locked onto their target and, without any hesitation, each fired two shots at Ah Chan, who had just walked onto the stage.

One shot to the head, one shot to the neck, and one shot to each side of the chest.

As blood mist exploded on the stage, Ah-chan fell straight to the ground, and the scene immediately erupted in chaos!

The group of reporters frantically covered their heads and squatted down, but fortunately the two gunmen had a clear target.

Having succeeded in his attack, he immediately jumped off the table and prepared to make his escape.

Chen Yongren was dumbfounded.

He only snapped out of his shock when the two gunmen were about to run to the door amidst the chaos. He pulled out his pistol from his holster, loaded it, and fired six shots at the two gunmen!
Of the six bullets fired, only three hit their mark.

One bullet hit the man with the thick beard on the waist, and two bullets hit the man with the high cheekbones on the thigh.

A good cop doesn't shoot!
This is an ironclad rule that Chen Yongren was instilled with by his instructors when he was training at the police academy.

Even after working undercover in Tsim Sha Tsui for over a decade, I never forgot it!
Seeing that he had succeeded, Chen Yongren had no suspicions. Just as he was about to take out his walkie-talkie to call for backup and take control of the situation, four burly bandits wearing black hoods suddenly jumped out from the doorway.

Also holding a pistol, they fired a few shots at the ceiling to intimidate Chen Yongren, who was about to make a move. Then, the two of them forcibly dragged the two fallen gunmen to the parking lot outside.

There was a car with a fake license plate parked outside, and the engine was still running.

The group got into the car without any hesitation, and the thug driving immediately stepped on the gas, speeding away from the scene with the group in tow.

Chen Yongren hurriedly chased after him, but his .38 caliber rifle was out of bullets.

They could only watch helplessly as the car turned a corner and sped away from the scene.

In a fit of frustration, he slapped his thigh and then kicked the glass door outside the restaurant!
"Brothers! Did Brother Yong send you to meet us?"

Ah Tian, ​​clutching his bleeding waist, gritted his teeth and asked a hooded man who was trying to stop his bleeding.

"Do not talk!"

The group of people who came to help seemed very professional, as if they had expected that the men would be shot.

There were even bandages prepared in the car to stop the bleeding.

After disinfecting and bandaging his hands, the man who had just stopped Ah Tian's bleeding picked up an alcohol-soaked wipe and cleaned his hands.

"Let's remove the bullet first. The bleeding hasn't completely stopped yet. If we delay any longer, you might die!"

Ah Tian gritted his teeth, cold sweat dripping down his face.

"Brother, can I get medical treatment on the ship?"

We must have been spotted by the police just now; any later and I might not have been able to escape!

"If you can't escape, then don't try to leave!"

The hooded man who stopped Ah Tian's bleeding was none other than Qiu Gang'ao, who had been waiting there for a long time.

His tone was icy as he responded, causing Ah Tian's expression to freeze.

"You weren't sent by Brother Yong?"

"You talk too much!"

This response made Ah Tian feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

However, there was nothing they could do now; both of them had been shot and didn't even have the strength to move.

Now we're like fish on a chopping board, with no choice but to let others do as they please.

The car sped along and drove directly to a suburban park on Lai Chi Kok Avenue.

The car was then turned off, and the four hooded men who had rescued them from the Longjiang Hotel got out and left without a word after cleaning up the medical waste in the car.

Ah Tian was puzzled. He gritted his teeth and tried to sit up, but ultimately gave up because of the pain in his back wound.

"Chada, you old hag, are you still alive?"

"Tian... Brother Tian, ​​please stop talking. It's no better than being dead..."

Hearing Cha Da's weak response, Ah Tian finally felt a little relieved.

"What on earth is going on? Why did these people just leave me here and go?"

"Could it be... that Brother Yong sent them to kill us and cover it up?"

"Nonsense! If Brother Yong wanted to silence us, why did he have them put bandages on our wounds?"

Just as the two were wondering what was going on, a rustling sound of footsteps suddenly came from the lawn behind the car.

Ah Tian struggled to lift his head and saw the car door being opened again.

A group of burly men with unfriendly expressions were standing outside the car.

The group of men at the head of the group carried two stretchers; clearly, everything had been arranged for them long ago.

……

Ring ring ring——

On Shanghai Street, Bearded Yong was soaking in the private bathtub of a sauna, anxiously waiting for a call back from the dock.

The phone finally rang, and he immediately got up from the bathhouse, brushed away the steam in front of him, and picked up the phone that was on the wardrobe.

"Hey?"

"Bearded Yong, are you trying to silence me?"

The voice that came through the phone was He Yaozong's.

Hu Xuyong frowned for a moment, then pretended to be confused.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you something."

Unfortunately, the two gunmen you sent out were spotted by a passing officer from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau.

After they finished silencing the witnesses, they were unfortunately shot several times by this policeman.

Bearded Yong's lips twitched, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation rose in his heart.

Then I heard He Yaozong continue speaking on the phone.

"But you're lucky. They escaped, and just happened to fall into my hands."

I'm giving you face by sending them to a secluded place to recuperate, and I've also arranged for a dentist from the city to remove the bullets from them.

Tell me, how are you going to thank me?

Bearded Yong immediately flew into a rage!
"He Yaozong! Are you deliberately playing me for a fool?"
"You set me up, you knew I'd send a gunman to silence me?!"

He Yaozong's cold laugh came from the other end of the phone.

"Bearded Yong, you should be most glad that you haven't thought of hiring a gunman to beat me up!"

Otherwise, I wouldn't be calling you now. Killing someone in front of so many reporters—that's enough to put you in jail for life!

The sauna was already hot, and Bearded Yong felt even hotter inside!
He took a deep breath, walked to the sauna door, opened it halfway, and let out some fresh air.

"You want to drag me into this and force the Li family to submit?"

“You’re wrong about that. I never intended to involve you. You’re the one who dragged yourself into this.”

For a moment, Bearded Yong was speechless.

He's in his prime, and after being out in the world for so long, he's seen it all.

He has personally wielded a knife to kill people, and has been threatened into shooting them in the back.

But I have never seen a character as ruthless as Ho Yiu-chung!

Without shedding blood, they meticulously planned and tricked him into a trap, leaving him with immense strength but nowhere to use it!
After calming down, Bearded Yong took a deep breath.

"Give me some time, I'll go and talk to the Li family right away."

"I'll come find you at the teahouse in Sham Shui Po within an hour at most!"

"I'll only give you half an hour."

"Okay! Half an hour it is!"

Bearded Yong slammed down the phone, looking flustered for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the wardrobe to get dressed and go downstairs.

After a flurry of activity, I finally got downstairs and into my car.

After telling his henchman to drive, Bearded Yong picked up the phone, his fingers trembling, and dialed the number that Li Yunlian had given him.

He didn't call Li Zhikai, and he knew perfectly well that Li Zhikai would never care about his life or death.

Even if it costs him a fortune, this loser will never choose to bow down and admit defeat to Wo Luen Shing!
"Hey?"

A clear, crisp female voice came from the other end of the phone.

This was answered by Li Yunlian's assistant. "Miss, this is Pan Zhiyong."

"Could you please inform Ms. Li that I have something extremely urgent to discuss with her?"

"Mr. Pan? I'm sorry, Chairman Li is currently chatting with some guests. Why don't you call back later?"

"It's too late! Tell Ms. Li that if we're any later, I'll be dead!"

Bearded Yong was a little agitated, and for a moment he even made the henchman driving the car in front turn around and take a look.

But after catching a glimpse of Bearded Yong's fierce expression, he quickly turned his head back and obediently drove the car.

The person on the other end of the phone hesitated for a long time before finally responding.

"Alright then, I'll go and inform Chairman Li now."

“Thank you, thank you for the sun!”

Bearded Yong took a breath, gripped the phone tightly, and slumped back in his chair.

Before long, Li Yunlian's voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Zhiyong, what happened?"

"Ms. Li, you absolutely have to help me this time!"

Upon hearing Li Yunlian's voice, Bearded Yong sat up straight as if he had been electrocuted, and immediately relayed what Li Zhikai had told him to do, as well as what He Yaozong had just said.

Finally, they pricked up their ears, eagerly awaiting an answer from Li Yunlian.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Finally, Li Yunlian's voice rang out again.

"Zhiyong, this young man is far too vicious and cunning!"

After waiting for so long, all he got was this meaningless and pointless remark, which only made Bearded Yong more anxious and agitated.

"Ms. Li, I have put in a lot of effort for Hysan Development over the years!"

"If Mr. Li hadn't spoken up, I wouldn't have done such a foolish thing. Surely your Li family won't just stand by and do nothing?"

Bearded Yong practically made it clear that if he were to be targeted by the police because of this incident, Li Zhikai would also be dragged down with him!

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlian's answer was very straightforward.

"Zhiyong, I know you've done a lot for Hysan Development over the years, but nobody wants a small matter to escalate to this point."

"Our Li family holds some standing in Hong Kong Island. It would be rather inappropriate to reluctantly relinquish the land in Kowloon Walled City just because of these issues!"

Hu Xuyong's heart skipped a beat.

"So, Ms. Li, are you planning to leave me to shoulder this alone?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything for you."

If you don't want to go to jail, you can go to the Netherlands or Australia. With the Li family's connections, they can guarantee that your life abroad won't be worse than in Hong Kong.

During your absence, I will actively maintain relationships with various sectors in Hong Kong. Once things have calmed down, you can return. The Lee family business will continue to support you.

Bearded Yong gritted his teeth and remained silent, waiting for Li Yunlian to continue.

He was already extremely unhappy. What did he mean by being able to leave Hong Kong Island?

He earned his reputation through sheer hard work and dedication. Tomorrow, the turnover rate of powerful figures in Hong Kong's triads will be faster than bamboo shoots sprouting after a spring rain!
He's still the head of the Yi family gang. If he's sent out to wander around for three to five years, will he still have a place to stand when he comes back to Hong Kong?!
“If you really don’t want to leave Hong Kong Island, I will also help you secure a job for those brothers in the Yi Zi Tuan group.”

I will find you the best lawyer and handle all the connections in Hong Kong Island so that when you get out of prison, you'll still be the same..."

Bearded Yong finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Ms. Li, what if I don't agree to either of these conditions?"

Li Yunlian said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, it's just that the Li family's reputation will be damaged."

At that point, Yi Zi Dui will no longer have the possibility of cooperating with Hong Kong Island real estate developers.

"With so many phone numbers in Hong Kong Island, any one of them could be a potential partner for Lee Ka!"

At this point, all that's left is a threat.

Bearded Yong understood the stakes involved.

Decades ago, the Lee family was adept at fostering infighting among Hong Kong's triads.

He Anle, derived from the character "He" (和), relies on the support of the Li family.

For families like theirs, with plenty of money, supporting other number groups to defeat the Yi number group is incredibly easy!
Hu Xuyong had lost his earlier aura; he appeared somewhat dejected and remained silent for a long time.

He barely managed to respond after Li Yunlian called his name twice on the other end of the phone.

"Ms. Li, I understand what you mean!"

I hope you won't go back on your word. This time, consider it my way of repaying the Li family for their years of support!

"It's wonderful that you've come to your senses, Zhiyong. I assure you, the Li family will always be your friend!"

beep-

The phone went dead.

At this point, the car had already reached the Sham Shui Po area.

This feeling of being summoned and dismissed at will was like a heavy stone pressing on his chest. Bearded Yong felt a tightness in his chest, unable to breathe...

He Tai Tea House, He Yaozong's office.

As Hu Xuyong entered, He Yaozong raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Not bad, you arrived eight minutes early."

wow-

Hu Xuyong pulled out a chair and sat down.

His face was grim, and he spoke directly.

“I’ve spoken with the Li family, and I believe you’re aware of the situation.”

Even I, Bearded Yong, am no match for you on that piece of land in Kowloon Walled City!

He Yaozong didn't speak, but simply gestured to Hu Xuyong in a "please" manner, indicating that he should continue.

"Go ahead and tell the police to hand over the person. I'll find someone to take the blame."

Even if they can't escape responsibility from the police, the worst they can do is spend ten years or so in prison.

However, after I go to prison, the Li family will support Yi Zi Dui and completely break ties with you and Lian Sheng!

"If you've got the guts, then kill me in prison. Provoking the imperial aura and harming me will get you killed by the gunmen of the Yi family, day and night!"

He Yaozong couldn't help but sneer.

"Bearded Yong, it looks like you're here to fight me to the death."

However, if I were you, I wouldn't have said those things later.

If you really intended to do that, why did you bother to remind me?

Bearded Yong gritted his teeth; He Yaozong really didn't give him any face.

That's right, he said those words as a last-ditch effort. If he could fool He Yaozong, then he would be grasping at the last straw.

If we can't intimidate you... then we'll all die together!
"Luo Jun, pour him a cup of tea."

He Yaozong gave an order to Chen Luojun behind him, which puzzled Hu Xuyong for a moment.

After Chen Luojun finished pouring the tea, He Yaozong called for him and Feng Yuxiu to go out and wait.

Then he said, "I don't like to do things that harm others without benefiting myself."

Since the Li family would rather abandon you than bow down to me, there's no point in me forcibly sending you to jail.

Hu Xuyong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at He Yaozong with his mouth agape in disbelief.

But He Yaozong continued speaking.

“There’s no future in being a dog for the Li family. They’re willing to let you take the blame this time, but they might use you as a scapegoat in the future!”
Bearded Yong, I'm not exaggerating. Believe it or not, it's up to you to decide.

Today I'll only ask you one question: are you willing to drink this cup of tea and become my friend, or will you continue to act like a dog and make things difficult for me? The decision is yours!

"Will you hand over those two gunmen to me?!"

He Yaozong sneered and retorted, "What do you think?"

Bearded Yong lowered his head and pondered for a moment before quickly making a decision.

He slammed his hand on the table, but didn't immediately reach for the cup of hot tea.

"I've figured it out. No matter how much money you make, it's meaningless if you don't have the life to spend it."

But you'd better tell me your conditions. I don't believe you're so kind as to let me off the hook!

"I won't let you go to Tonglijiading, you can rest assured about that."

You will continue to deal with the Li family in the same way you did before.

"If you ever get tired of dealing with the Li family, Hengyao Real Estate might be able to offer you some business opportunities."

"Really?"

After being betrayed by the Li family, Bearded Yong was already disheartened.

He even thought that Ho Yiu-chung would use him to deal with the Lee family.

However, He Yaozong didn't want him to do anything at the moment, and even promised to share the profits with him if there was business in the future, which made Hu Xuyong even more suspicious.

Did He Yaozong really go to such lengths to set up a trap just to win me over?
In fact, Hu Xuyong guessed correctly; He Yaozong wanted to turn this pawn of the Li family against them.

However, He Yaozong knew that Hu Xuyong and the Li family had been dealing with each other for so many years, and he would never dare to turn against the Li family now.

The real goal of Ho Yiu-chung is to break down Hu-xu-yong's reliance on the Li family and use him to obtain the information that the Li family wants in the future!

"Absolutely true!"

"Okay, I'll drink it!"

Without further hesitation, Hu Xuyong picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

He didn't care about anything else. Whatever He Yaozong's purpose was, he had at least gotten rid of the current embarrassment!
