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

Chapter 173 In Tokyo, bullets always seem to be aimed at the head.
"Aberdeen!"

Tie Tou slammed his fist on the table in anger, like a raging lion.

He jumped up abruptly, pointed at Aberdeen's nose, and angrily rebuked him.

Do you know what we're doing? Do you remember the days when we were carrying bricks and doing hard labor on construction sites?
Back then, the happiest time for everyone was when they took a break from work at night, pooled their money to get together for a late-night snack, each of them drank two cans of Kirin beer, and after getting a little tipsy, they chatted about the days when they would go home!
But everything has changed now! Once the guns are fired, do we have any way back?!

Iron Head rarely pointed at his brothers and glared at them, but Hong Kong Boy was still unwilling to give up.

He gritted his teeth and took a few more steps closer to Tie Tou.

"What do you mean by 'everything has changed'? It was you who led us brothers out of poverty and hardship, it was you who told us Chinese brothers should be united, and it was you who showed us the prosperity of Tokyo!"
Having gotten used to a good life, who would want to be subservient and let others take advantage of them again?
"Don't be silly, Iron Head! The brothers would rather die than go back to that inhuman, ghostly life!"

Tie Tou felt a throbbing pain in his head. He didn't know how to persuade Hong Kong Boy for a moment, so he just pointed to the door and shouted angrily.

"You go out first. I'll figure out a way to deal with the Sanwa Association and the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"You can't think of a solution..."

"go out!!"

Upon hearing this, Aberdeen didn't say anything more.

He gave Tie Tou one last deep look before leaving the private room.

After Aberdeen left, Iron Head slumped back in his chair, his eyes filled with confusion.

He had illegally entered Tokyo to find his wife.

After discovering that his wife had married Eguchi Toshinari, he was utterly despondent. It was the group of Chinese brothers in Shinjuku who gave him hope to rekindle his fighting spirit.

However, in Shinjuku, where there are many gangs, the Chinese community faces immense difficulties at every step.

They were surrounded by the Tainan gang, who were eyeing them covetously, and by local Japanese gangs who viewed them as parasites in Shinjuku.

Are they really destined to be nothing more than fish on a chopping board in Shinjuku?
Tie Tou didn't know the answer, but the thought in his heart remained firm—as long as there was a glimmer of hope, the brothers of the Hua Long Society must never go down an extreme path.

Once the gun was drawn, there was no turning back!

……

Aberdeen stood in front of room 1216 of the Kai Rui Hotel, his finger hovering over the doorbell for three seconds, hesitating.

He glanced back at the empty corridor, and the stubborn face of Tie Tou when he rejected Dongguan Zai's suggestion reappeared before his eyes.

Finally, Aberdeen gritted his teeth and pressed the doorbell.

The door opened almost immediately.

The Dongguan guy leaned against the door frame, a half-smile playing on his lips: "It came faster than I expected."

"Do not talk nonsense."

Aberdeen squeezed through the door and closed it behind him: "Tell me Mr. Ho's conditions. I want to hear the details."

Dongguan boy walked towards the suite's living room. The black leather suitcase was still on the coffee table, with two glasses of whiskey next to it.

He picked up a glass and handed it to Aberdeen: "Mr. Ho wants the land in Shinjuku, and the convenience of doing business in Japan in the future, while you want a way to survive."

With Mr. He's guarantee, I believe that Hualong will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Tokyo in the future.

Aberdeen took the glass and downed it in one gulp, the alcohol burning his throat: "Iron Head won't agree."

Dongguan boy took a step closer and lowered his voice: "That's why I said, if he doesn't do it, someone else will."

The room fell into a brief silence.

Aberdeen's gaze fell on the suitcase; two million US dollars could allow them to do many things.

That two million could be used to buy handguns, recruit more people, cultivate relationships with the Metropolitan Police Department, and so on...

Aberdeen finally spoke up.

"If I agree to cooperate, what guarantees can Mr. He give us?"

The Dongguan guy scoffed, "Are you qualified to agree to Mr. He's conditions on behalf of the Hualong Society?"

"enough!"

Aberdeen nodded firmly and said, "We brothers of the Hualong Society all respect Iron Head, but that doesn't mean we endorse his ridiculous principles!"

He's too naive. In a place like Shinjuku, you have to be ruthless to survive!

"So you're planning to betray Ironhead?"

The Dongguan guy was somewhat displeased: "Mr. He doesn't like doing business with traitors!"

"How could I be called a traitor!"

Aberdeen immediately became agitated: "Iron Head is different from us. We people who smuggled ourselves into Japan were already carrying a criminal record."

He's different. He came to Tokyo to find his fiancée. Even if he can't stay in Shinjuku, he can still go back to his hometown!
But do we have a choice? Iron Head never even considered this!

The Dongguan boy remained silent, signaling the Hong Kong boy to continue speaking.

The whiskey had a bit of a kick for the Hong Kong guy, so he cleared his throat and then said...

"What's the current situation of our Hualong Gang in Shinjuku? Those people from the Tainan gang wish we were dead, and the Metropolitan Police Department doesn't want to sit idly by and watch a new Chinese gang grow stronger in Shinjuku."

What's even more damning is that bastard Eguchi Toshiaki, who's even prepared to use trolls to deal with us.

Ironhead Brother, however, still clung to his illusions, hoping that all parties could sit down and resolve the matter through negotiations.

Sometimes I really don't know what he's thinking. The moment a bullet hits him, he realizes how serious the situation is!

The Dongguan guy smiled and shook his head.

"It's no use telling me these things. Go back and talk to your brothers."

If you can get them to cooperate with me, you can come find me at the hotel again!

Aberdeen glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and immediately got up.

Give me an hour. I'll give you an answer in an hour!

"We will await your arrival."

……

After leaving the Hotel Aberdeen, a cold wind blew, and the effects of the alcohol dissipated somewhat.

He clenched his fists, strode quickly through the neon-lit streets of Shinjuku, and turned into a secluded back alley.

The warehouse where the brothers of the Hualong Society often gathered was at the end of the alley. Dim yellow light leaked out from the gaps in the iron gate, and the sounds of arguing could be faintly heard inside.

He pushed open the door and entered, and the room immediately fell silent.

Old Ghost, A-Jie, Xiao-Dai, and several core members sat around a table made of wooden crates, with ashtrays piled high with cigarette butts.

"Aberdeen?" Old Ghost narrowed his eyes. "Weren't you going with Iron Head to meet the people from Jiangkou?"

"See his mother? Jiang Kou is clearly after us; he wants us dead. Why would he negotiate with us at a time like this?"

Aberdeen locked the door behind him, walked straight to the table, took out a stack of photos from his pocket, and threw them on the table.

The photos show members of the Tainan gang patrolling Chinatown with guns, and plainclothes police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department secretly taking pictures while stalking members of the Hualonghui.

Look at these!

Aberdeen's voice was hoarse: "Iron Head is still fantasizing about peace talks, but the guns of the Jiangkou and Tainan gangs are already pointed at our heads!"

Ah-Jie grabbed the photo, his fingers trembling slightly—ever since his hand was chopped off by the Tainan gang, he hated them more than anyone else.

Xiao Dai frowned: "Brother Tie Tou said that once you draw your gun, there's no turning back..."

"Turn around?" Aberdeen suddenly overturned a wooden crate, and a bottle smashed on the ground and shattered.

"We've had no turning back since the day we were smuggled in! Old Ghost, have you paid off the high-interest loans back home? Ah Jie, with your right hand crippled, can you still wash dishes?!"

He looked around at the crowd, his eyes reddening. "We've been ghosts for a long time. Now that someone's giving us money and guns, why shouldn't we fight?"

Old Ghost silently pulled out a dagger and stuck it on the table: "Hong Kong boy, what exactly do you want?"

"Mr. He is willing to help us rise to the top."

Aberdeen lowered his voice: "Do you know who Mr. Ho is? He's the head of Wo Luen Shing, the one who's been all over the front page of major newspapers across Asia lately!"
We have money and manpower; these people are willing to come out and help us. Why should we hide here like cowards?!

The warehouse was deathly silent.

Ah Jie suddenly laughed, his laughter filled with madness: "I was saved by Iron Head Brother... but this time, I'm sticking with Hong Kong Boy to the end!"

Xiao Dai was about to say something when Lao Gui grabbed his shoulder and asked, "Hong Kong boy, how confident are you?"

"I don't know, but I do know that if we go to negotiate with Tie Tou, we don't even have a 10% chance of surviving!"

Everyone fell silent again.

After a long while, it was Old Ghost who broke the deadlock.

"Aberdeen, this time the brothers will trust you."

However, time may be running out. We need to get our hands on the weapon as soon as possible, before the Tainan gang and Eguchi Toshiaki make their move!

Aberdeen nodded slightly, then looked at the other core members of the Hualong Society.

"what about you?"

"Let Brother Iron Head rest a bit, we'll all follow along!"

Meanwhile, at the Shinjuku Ryukei Bar.

In the dimly lit bar, Jiang Kou Licheng, the leader of the Sanhe Society, sat next to a booth, the cigarette butt in his mouth glowing intermittently.

Kao Chieh, the leader of the Tainan gang, was walking straight toward the booth with two henchmen.

The henchmen standing behind Eguchi Toshiaki were about to step forward to search him, but Eguchi Toshiaki waved them off.

"Eguchi-kun!"

Kao Chieh walked up to Eguchi Toshiaki and bowed slightly to him.

Eguchi Toshiaki took the cigarette butt out of his mouth, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and then stood up and bowed to Kao Chieh: "Mr. Kao, it's been a long time. Please have a seat!"

The two sat down facing each other, and Eguchi Toshiaki's gaze swept over Kao Chieh a few times.

He couldn't help but sneer, "Takasaka, when did we all become so distant?"

"You're going to wear a bulletproof vest under your suit when you meet me?"

Kao Chieh sneered and tugged at his collar: "When you're out and about, you have to be careful!"

"But Mr. Takashi, on the streets of Tokyo, bullets always seem to be aimed at the head!"

Kao Chieh's smile froze: "Mr. Eguchi, you didn't invite me here today just to shoot me in the head, did you?"

"of course not!"

Eguchi Toshinari smiled and continued.

"It's time to get rid of the parasites on the streets of Shinjuku."

The Hualong Society has become increasingly outrageous lately. These parasites were doing their jobs well, but now they want to get involved in casinos and Kabukicho businesses.

I think if we let them develop for a while longer, the Hualong Society will even dare to steal our heroin business!

Kao Chieh frowned. As an outsider from another gang, he was very resistant to the word "parasite."

But he still braced himself and asked, "I know that Mr. Jiang recently bought a batch of guns to eliminate the Hualong Society. Do we, the Tainan Gang, need to be involved?"
You can handle this yourselves!

Eguchi Toshiaki smiled, then snapped his fingers, and his henchman immediately handed him an account book.

Eguchi Toshiaki didn't even glance at the ledger before tossing it down in front of Kaohsiung MRT.

Kao Chieh took the ledger and immediately flew into a rage.

He couldn't help but swear in his native language.

"Fuck your mother! You're raising ghosts under my wing?!"

Although Eguchi Toshiaki couldn't understand Mandarin, it wasn't hard to guess what Kao Chieh had said from his angry gaze.

But he still wore that arrogant smile on his face, while his left elbow was resting on the table, and his body was leaning slightly forward towards Kao Chieh.

"Gao Sang, there's no need to get so angry."

I admire your insight. Knowing that you can't compete with us in Tokyo, you actually thought of using Japan as a springboard to expand your heroin business to South Korea.

I'm also very interested in your business. How about it? Would you mind if our Sanhe Association got a piece of the pie?

Kao Chieh remained silent, only staring wide-eyed at Eguchi Toshiaki.

Eguchi Toshinari, however, remained confident and spoke up.

"Don't be ungrateful. Cooperate with me, and once we drive out these parasites from the Hualong Society, we'll split their territory in half."

Refuse to cooperate with me. After I deal with the Hualong Society, your Tainan gang will be next!

"By using Japan as a transit point to sell rice noodles in South Korea, you can also sell high-mountain tea!"

With just a few words, Eguchi Toshiaki had Kao Chieh completely under his control.

After weighing the pros and cons, Kao Chieh had no choice but to suppress his anger and bow his head to Eguchi Toshiaki.

"Hi!"

Seeing Kao Chieh's quick agreement, Eguchi Toshiaki couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After laughing, he raised his glass again.

"Takasang, what are we waiting for? Finish this drink and hurry back to prepare."

Tomorrow, at the latest tomorrow night, the Hualong Society will become history in Shinjuku!

After leaving Longchi Bar, Kao Chieh was seething with anger.

Just as he was leading his two henchmen to his car, he discovered a Crown car with its engine still running blocking the exit of his parking space.

Kao Chieh, who was already furious, became even angrier. He took a few steps forward and kicked the front tire of the Crown car.

"What the hell? Who was so blind as to park there? Damn it!"

The window of the Crown was rolled down, and a fat head popped out from the driver's seat.

Then Kao Chieh heard a familiar hometown dialect.

"Damn it, Kao Chieh! Lin Bei has been waiting for you here for ages, and this is how you talk to me?"

Kao Chieh was stunned when he saw the person who came into the car.

The visitor was none other than the veteran figure of the Triad on Taiwan Island – Earl Zhongyong!

Why would he come looking for me?
Kao Chieh quickly lowered his stance and forced a smile.

"Uncle Yong, what brings you to Tokyo?"

Uncle Zhongyong grabbed a betel nut and popped it into his mouth, then pointed to the passenger seat of his car.

"Get in the car first, let your younger brother drive home by himself, I have something to talk to you about!"

Kao Chieh glanced back at his two henchmen, then waved for them to get into the car. He then walked around to the passenger side of the Crown, opened the door, and got in.

The vehicle started and drove towards Ginza.

"Kao Chieh, is it easy to make money in Japan?"

"It's alright, a little bit more profitable than in Taiwan."

"Oh, so you're not planning to go back to Taiwan anymore?"

While chewing betel nut, Uncle Zhongyong asked the question in a casual manner.

These words startled Kao Chieh so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

“Uncle Yong, ever since you drove me out of Taiwan five years ago, I remember that all my grudges with your Sanlian Gang have been wiped clean!”
"What, are you going to wipe them all out?"

"If I wanted to wipe you out completely, I wouldn't be the one coming to you!"

"I am Zhongyong," he said with a smile as he drove.

"To tell you the truth, Lei Gong personally instructed me to come find you this time."

He forbids you from continuing to interfere in the affairs of the Hualong Society!

"What's the reason?"

"No reason needed, you're simply not allowed to interfere!"

Kao Chieh felt his anger rising, and finally couldn't help but swear.

"Damn it! What business is it of yours what happens in Japan?!"

"Then you shouldn't go back to Tainan. Bring your wife and kids here, change your citizenship to Japanese, and just be a Japanese citizen?"

Zhongyongbo's tone also began to turn unfriendly, and then he slammed on the brakes and stopped the car to wait at the traffic light.

Taking advantage of the pause in the parking lot, he looked at Kao Chieh and continued speaking.

"Kao Chieh, I'm fucking saving your life!"
If you're cooperating with the Yamaguchi-gumi, that's one thing, but what is Eguchi Toshinari anyway?
Do you know who's backing the Hualong Society?

"Who?!"

"I won't tell you who it is, but even the Thunder God has to give him some face!"

"A short mule should act like a short mule. You're just a nobody, don't get involved. Anyway, that's all I've said to you, good or bad. Don't mess with the Hualong Society again!"

The words of the Marquis of Zhongyong left Gao Jie completely bewildered.

Now both the Sanhehui and the Sanlianbang are threatening him. On one hand, there's the heroin business he painstakingly built up, and on the other hand, there's the issue of his personal safety.

After much thought, Kao Chieh felt like his brain was about to explode.

"Uncle Yong, if I don't listen to you, are you going to harm my wife and children?"

"Does Yongbo seem like that kind of person?"

Uncle Zhongyong replied with a smile while chewing betel nut.

"But that's hard to say. If someone were to offer hundreds of thousands of dollars to kill you, I believe the Yamaguchi-gumi assassins would be quite willing to give us face!"

"you……"

Kao Chieh was so forced that he had no temper left. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened the car door and got out.

"Damn it, I'm not getting involved in the Hualong Society anymore!"

"Speak louder, I can't hear you."

"I'm no longer involved in the affairs of the Hualong Society!"

"Smart, help me close the car door!"

……

After settling things off with his brothers in the warehouse, Hong Kong returned to the Hyatt Hotel and found Dongguan waiting for him there.

"Brother Dongguan, the brothers have all taken care of things."

Except for Tie Tou, everyone was willing to agree to Mr. He's conditions.

As the Hong Konger spoke, his gaze kept drifting towards the leather suitcase that the Dongguan man had placed on the table.

Dongguan guy couldn't help but secretly scoff at this guy, thinking he was utterly unworthy of respectability.

Even now, all he cares about is money.

"Aberdeen, you can take the money anytime, but are your guys ready for a fight?"
