Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 179 "179" The Conman, Qian Wendi's Decision

Watching Qian Wendi and the other two being dragged away, the assassin Xiong and his men were terrified.

Lin Yao smiled and put his arm around the assassin Xiong's shoulder, saying, "Since someone has already compensated us, let's just let this matter go!"

"But I heard that Brother Xiong is very influential in Stanley! After our gang members go in, we'll have to rely on you for support, Brother Xiong. Is that alright?"

Killer Xiong, thinking it was something serious, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Yao's words: "Oh, that's it. Don't worry, we've got it covered! Just mention it when the time comes!"

Killer Xiong is actually quite timid and has many weaknesses.

Such a person is easy to control. If you want him to do something for you inside, it should be just a matter of saying a word.

Lin Yao continued, "By the way, isn't there an old man named Robinson in Stanley?"

"There seems to be such a person, doesn't there?" Killer Xiong wasn't sure either. "Shall I go back and check for you?"

"Let me know if you find out. Don't worry, Xiong-ge, I love making friends, and I'm always generous to them!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

The assassin immediately revealed a sly smile again: "We know what's going on, just introduce me to two big boobs later!"

"No problem!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

After letting the assassin Xiong and his men leave, Lin Yao stroked his chin, pondering what to do next.

Lin Yao knew where the 300 million bond was hidden—it was in Liu Yaozu's house.

But when Lin Yao learned that Robinson Crusoe was being tortured by that bastard Liu Yaozu, he felt a pang of sympathy.

Moreover, Robinson owns a hotel. Although Liu Yaozu took it away, perhaps we can take the hotel back from him?
It was with this in mind that Lin Yao made a point of befriending the assassin Xiong.

Ah Bao walked over and said to Lin Yao, "Boss, those three guys have relented and agreed to pay!"

"It's not just the money I care about, it's the people I value!" Lin Yao said with a smile. "Sometimes, being a con artist can be very useful!"

Abao scratched his head and said, "What's the use of these con artists? We're not running an underground casino."

"Who says only casinos need them? Besides, you and Boss both have casinos!" Lin Yao slapped Ah Bao and said, "Stop talking nonsense and take me there!"

We arrived at the bar's basement, which is usually used for storage; the bar's drinks are piled up here.

Of course, sometimes it can also temporarily serve as a dungeon.

Seeing Lin Yao and A Bao walk in, Qian Wendi and Golden Finger were a little flustered.

But a con artist is a con artist, and he quickly returned to normal.

Qian Wendi knew that things were unlikely to end well today, so he prepared to fight to the death.

So he secretly used the razor blade hidden in his mouth to cut the rope.

He also learned who was in charge here, so he planned to suddenly attack and take Lin Yao hostage when he got close.

However, his heart soon sank, because Lin Yao showed no intention of getting closer to them.

He stood three steps away with a half-smile on his face.

At this distance, Qian Wendi has no way to take Lin Yao hostage.

"I heard you're willing to pay?" Lin Yao said with a smile.

Qian Wendi nodded: "Release us, and we'll give you all the six million we got from Liu Yaozu."

"Tsk tsk, six million, you guys pulled off a pretty big job!" Lin Yao said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of messing with someone you can't afford to offend?"

Qian Wendi said irritably, "When we have a thousand people, we will naturally conduct a preliminary investigation. This Liu Yaozu is just a son-in-law who made his fortune by marrying into the family, a good-for-nothing who relied on his dead wife!"

"It's only because of that idiot Killer Xiong that I wouldn't have caused trouble in your place!"

"Your attitude is not bad!" Lin Yao nodded and said, "But you guys are con artists, how can I believe what you say?"

Qian Wendi thought for a moment and said, "How about this, my two friends stay here, and I'll go get the money?"

"Hehe, what if you abandon them and run away?" Lin Yao said with a chuckle.

"This won't work, that won't work, what do you suggest we do? We don't have the money on us!" Qian Wendi simply gave up and said to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao chuckled and said, "How about... you guys come and help me with my work?"

"Huh?" Qian Wendi was stunned when Lin Yao made this request.

However, Qian Wendi quickly shook his head: "We con artists don't work with one person for long! And we won't stay in this place for too long!"

Con artists typically have no fixed address and operate on a mobile basis.

After all, nobody knows what day they might encounter a fool they've tricked, and if a conflict breaks out, things could get messy!
These are all rules set by the veteran con artists! Qian Wendi and other con artists must keep these rules in mind when they are out in the game.

Moreover, this incident was caused by a conflict with the assassin Xiong Qi, which has been a painful lesson for Qian Wendi.

Lin Yao said calmly, "Is it that you're unwilling to agree, or do you think I haven't noticed your little tricks?" As Lin Yao spoke, he had already moved within three steps of Qian Wendi.

In this situation, Qian Wendi didn't care about anything else. He immediately broke free of the ropes binding him and rushed directly towards Lin Yao.

In Qian Wendi's view, as long as she got close to Lin Yao, everything would be foolproof.

But Wendi Qian soon realized he was wrong, and terribly wrong.

Just as he approached Lin Yao, Lin Yao suddenly threw a punch at Qian Wendi.

Qian Wendi subconsciously tilted his head, and then Lin Yao punched him in the chin with a hook punch.

Qian Wendi immediately felt his vision go black and then collapsed to the ground.

Lin Yao dusted off imaginary dust from his body and said casually, "I forgot to tell you, as the leader of a gang, you're usually much better at fighting than you think!"

"After all, we have to compete with others for territory, and there's a lot of fighting involved. Our professional skills are definitely up to par!"

Qian Wendi collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Lili and Golden Finger struggled to help Qian Wendi up.

However, the two were quickly stopped by Abao's men and given another beating.

"Damn it, you're still not behaving even after being caught here!" Abao hadn't reacted yet, feeling he'd lost face in front of his boss, and started kicking Golden Finger repeatedly.

They kicked Jinshen's chest so hard it broke his bones, and his face was covered in blood.

But Lily, being a beautiful woman, treated him somewhat favorably. She dragged him back by his long hair, gave him a couple of slaps on the left and right, and then he dared not move anymore.

Qian Wendi staggered to her feet, still feeling dizzy: "Come at me if you have a problem. What kind of skill is it to bully women!"

Lin Yao said disdainfully, "You? You're the kind of guy who could be knocked down with one punch. What right do you have to fight me?"

"And you guys better understand, one order from me and all three of you will be dead right here today! Do you think I'm joking?"

Qian Wendi couldn't refute it, so he could only say to Lin Yao, "I will compensate for the losses at the original price, but we really can't stay in one place for too long. It's our instinct to make money!"

Lin Yao asked curiously, "The ancestral master's instructions?"

“Yes!” Qian Wendi nodded and said.

"Alright then, the three of you will owe me three favors!" Lin Yao said directly. "You can move around freely, but you must stay in Hong Kong. Otherwise, I guarantee you'll die a more gruesome death than pigs!"

Lin Yao's condition was clearly much more lenient than before.

At least their personal freedom isn't restricted, which makes the atmosphere much more relaxed.

After careful consideration, Qian Wendi said directly to Lin Yao, "We can agree to this condition, but you must guarantee our safety!"

"That's fine, but you'd better not go back yet! I reckon Liu Yaozu is already waiting for you at your house. If you go back, be careful he doesn't break your legs!"

Qian Wendi nodded: "I understand, here's the money!"

Hearing that Lin Yao was so easy to talk to, Qian Wendi readily handed over the six million he had won to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao said calmly, "That's right, I'll have someone contact you then!"

Seeing the check handed to him, Lin Yao didn't even glance at it, and threw it directly to A Bao: "You little brat, you're a jinx! Use this for renovations, and use the rest for drinks!"

Upon hearing Lin Yao's words, A Bao was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss!"

Lin Yao then said to the three of them, "Alright, you can go now. But remember, don't even think about leaving Hong Kong at this time. If you don't believe me, just try. But you only have one chance!"

After saying that, Lin Yao smiled and turned to leave.

Watching Lin Yao swagger away with his henchmen, Qian Wendi and Golden Finger wiped the blood from their noses and then helped Lili up.

"What do we do now?" Golden Finger said in a low voice, "Should we run?"

Qian Wendi didn't say anything, he just led them away.

Once back in his car, Qian Wendi finally breathed a sigh of relief, then said to Golden Finger with a serious expression, "Don't run, running will probably only make you die faster!"

"It can't be that bad, you're just listening to him brag?" Golden Finger was a little skeptical.

Qian Wendi said with some helplessness, "See that car following us? If we dare to run away, we'll be caught immediately!"

Golden Finger gritted his teeth and said, "If all else fails, we'll fight them to the death."

"I refuse to believe that these gangsters' bodies can withstand bullets!"

Qian Wendi said somewhat helplessly, "Have you forgotten the rules? We're just con artists, not professional killers. Even gangsters are more skilled than us! We might end up losing more than we gain!"

"Do we have no choice but to obediently follow his orders?" Lily asked with some worry. "Then we won't be able to leave at all?"
