Hong Kong variety show: My Boss, Thirteen Sister

"Holy crap, what are you doing, sis?"

“Although you’re a big shot, I’m not a casual person. Besides, there are so many people watching.” Jiang Lai was terrified by Thirteen Sister’s actions and quickly said.

Just as Thirteen Sister was making advances towards Jiang Lai, Jiang Lai also felt a slightly jealous gaze drifting over from Han Bin.

"You're saying you defeated all these people?"

"OK!"

"You did it all by yourself?"

"Yes, you can ask them if you don't believe me!"

"Holy crap, you're a pro! You're really good at fighting!" After confirming that Jiang Lai had taken down all these people, Thirteen Sister excitedly grabbed Jiang Lai's shoulder and exclaimed.

At this moment, Jiang Lai felt a strong sense of jealousy spreading through him.

"I was worried you'd be in trouble today."

"If I had known you were such a good fighter, I wouldn't have been worried at all," Thirteen Sister said excitedly, patting Jiang Lai's shoulder hard.

"Hey kid, interested in coming with me?" Seeing how good Jiang Lai was at fighting, Han Bin took the initiative to come up and try to poach Thirteen Sister's boyfriend.

"Big Boss?" Jiang Lai didn't answer Han Bin, but instead winked at Thirteen Sister.

"Damn it, Han Bin, what do you mean? You're digging up my little brother too?" Thirteen Sister said angrily to Han Bin.

"Haha, just kidding," Han Bin said, waving his hand as he saw that Thirteen Sister was about to get angry.

Thirteen Sister rolled her eyes and gave Han Bin the middle finger.

After saying that, Thirteen Sister took out a cigarette, and the younger sister next to her lit it for her without hesitation.

Thirteen Sister took a deep drag of her cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and pointed sassily at the Flower Buddha lying on the ground, saying, "Let me tell you, there can only be one voice in business on Portland Street, and that's me, Thirteen Sister. If you want to cause trouble, I, Thirteen Sister, will play along. Let's see if you, Flower Buddha, can afford to play."

"Cough...cough, Thirteenth Sister, I, Hua Fo, admit defeat." Hua Fo was truly terrified. Jiang Lai had punched him three times, and he hadn't recovered yet. He lay on the ground, clutching his stomach with both hands, his face full of pain. He coughed with difficulty and then answered.

"Jiang Zai, let's go." Thirteen Sister glanced at Hua Fo, said nothing more, called out to Jiang Lai, and then turned and left.

Jiang Lai didn't say much, and followed Thirteen Sister and Han Bin's group outside.

Since Hua Fo has admitted defeat, he doesn't need to worry about the banquet or the apology. That's how the world of gangsters is—fighting and killing, all for profit.

Chapter 4 Family Law

After Jiang Lai followed Thirteen Sister and Han Bin out, he found that there were still a lot of his underlings standing outside, including Han Bin's men and Thirteen Sister's own men.

Thirteen Sister brought more people than in the original drama to "rescue" Jiang Lai this time.

"Big sister, it's not my fault, it really isn't my fault!"

Jiang Lai heard the sound and looked up. It turned out to be Thirteen Sister's "ex-girlfriend," Sasha, surrounded by several thugs. Sasha's face was bruised and swollen, and she was pleadingly calling out to Thirteen Sister.

"Thirteenth Sister, you can guard against anything day or night, but it's hard to guard against a thief in your own home," Han Bin said, glancing at Sasha on the ground as he stood beside Thirteenth Sister.

After saying "Take her back," Thirteen Sister left without looking back.

At the entrance of the Bolan Street guild, Thirteen Sister sat under the statue of Guan Gong, propping her chin up with one hand, watching Sasha being held down by two underlings.

"I didn't, I really didn't, big sister, please believe me!" The only sound in the entire hall was Sasha's pleading.

"Big sister, you've been so good to me, how could I betray you? I haven't done anything wrong to you!" Sasha cried as she continued to argue.

Thirteen Sister coldly raised her eyes and said, "Do you remember how you treated me?"

“I used to work as a cashier at a restaurant in Wong Tai Sin. You gave me a chance to come and help you with the accounting and business management,” Sasha said honestly.

Hearing this, Thirteen Sister was furious. Her disappointed tone was mixed with resentment as she said, "You son of a bitch! I trusted you so much, and you actually told Flower Buddha my secrets, you slut!"

"I didn't, I really didn't, you have to believe me, big sister," Sasha continued to argue.

"Didn't you go out to play cards the night before last?"

"I found this in your drawer," Thirteen Sister said, taking a watch out of her pocket.

Jiang Lai also looked over and saw that this watch was the same brand as the one Hua Fo was wearing; they were even a couple's watch.

"I bought that with my own savings, big sister."

"Your secret stash of money, all of it was given to you by me. Do you really think I'm an idiot?" With that, Thirteen Sister threw the watch at Sasha's face.

"Just because someone tells me to go out doesn't mean I have to. I was just teasing you," Thirteen Sister said to Sasha with a disdainful look.

“The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?” Fei Hui replied.

"Big sister, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance and let me go," Sasha pleaded repeatedly.

Thirteen Sister felt a pang of pity for Sasha.

"You eat her food, live in her house, and wear her clothes. If we let you off the hook after all this, who will respect Thirteen Sister?" Han Bin could see that Thirteen Sister was a little soft-hearted, but in the martial world, rules are rules, so he spoke up to remind Thirteen Sister.

"Let me go, let me go, I'll give you everything back... ring, earrings, clothes." When Sasha heard Han Bin's words and saw the expressionless Thirteen Sister, she panicked and quickly took off all her valuables, including her coat, and handed them to Thirteen Sister.

"Let me go, let me go, I won't do it again," Sasha kept begging for mercy, clinging to Thirteen Sister's leg.

Perhaps annoyed by Sasha's crying, Thirteen Sister kicked Sasha, sending her sprawling.

"Fatty, what are the rules of Hung Hing?" Thirteen Sister asked Fatty, who was standing to the side, without any expression.

“Sasa is a traitor to Hung Hing, so as usual, she should be punished according to the family rules,” Fat Wai said.

"You son of a bitch, you traitor who betrays your own people!"

"Slap her finger"

Seeing that Thirteen Sister was about to use family discipline, the other sisters were about to attack Sasha before Thirteen Sister could even speak.

"Stop!" Thirteen Sister shouted.

Thirteen Sister glanced at Jiang Lai, noticing his engrossed expression, and said to him, "Jiang, I'm leaving her to you. I don't want to see her on Portland Street."

After saying that, Thirteen Sister picked up her coat and prepared to go out.

Upon hearing Thirteen Sister's words, Jiang Lai felt as if he had swallowed a pile of shit. He was indeed good at fighting, but he couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on a girl who was completely defenseless.

He quickly said to Thirteenth Sister, "Sister, I can't do it."

"Cough, cough, I suffered serious internal injuries in the fight today, I can't do this," Jiang Lai said to Thirteen Sister, feigning a severe cough.

"Look at you, so pathetic..."

Thirteen Sister rolled her eyes at Jiang Lai. Didn't she know whether Jiang Lai was injured or not?

She wanted Jiang Lai to do more work so that she could help him rise to a higher position later, but Jiang Lai was unwilling to do it, so Thirteen Sister did not force him.

Turning to Fei Hui, he said, "Fei Hui, come on."

“Okay, Sister Mei,” Fei Hui replied.

"What's so interesting about beating a woman? Let's go," Thirteen Sister said to Han Bin as she passed by, seeing him watching with great interest.

Han Bin bit the toothpick in his mouth, glanced back twice, and then followed Thirteen Sister out.

Hearing Sasha's screams from the corridor, Thirteen Sister couldn't bear it, but the club had its rules. Feeling irritable, she casually opened a bottle of beer and said to Han Bin and Jiang Lai: Come on, let's go for a drive!

Jiang Lai knew that Han Bin liked Thirteen Sister, and that Thirteen Sister just wanted to clear her head, so he didn't want to be a third wheel. He said, "Sister Sister, you guys go ahead. I'm all dirty; I'll go back and change."

"Okay, you should get some rest!" Thirteen Sister glanced at Jiang Lai, but didn't say anything more. She then took Han Bin out for a drive.

As Jiang Lai watched Thirteen Sister and Han Bin walk out, he couldn't help but think about what would happen next.

Next, Prince is attacked, Brother Kei brags in the hospital, and then Ah Yao announces that Tung Sing and Hung Hing are going to war. Sister Thirteen goes to Uncle Ben to negotiate alone, and at the same time sees the Coke she has been longing for, as well as Ah Bao.

Thirteen Sister originally thought that after talking to Uncle Ben, she would get his promise and everything would be fine. She didn't expect that Uncle Ben, that old fox, would say one thing and do another.

On the surface, Uncle Ben agreed to Thirteen Sister's request, but behind the scenes he supported Flower Buddha in destroying Thirteen Sister's business. In addition, he turned Ah Bao against the law and murdered Cola to frame Flower Buddha, hoping to incite a war between Hung Hing and the United Front, so that Tung Sing could reap the benefits from the chaos.

Uncle Ben, that old fox, outwardly claims that at his age he just enjoys drinking and playing golf, but in reality, he has enormous ambitions.

There was just one thing Jiang Lai couldn't understand: in the original drama, Han Bin always managed to escape danger and turn the tide. Even when Hua Fo led his men to surround Han Bin, Han Bin managed to turn the tables and capture Hua Fo. How was Han Bin able to plan ahead? Who was tipping him off?

However, now that he knew the plot, Jiang Lai decided to protect the Crown Prince. He had been following Thirteen Sister for so long and had met the Crown Prince twice. The Crown Prince was a martial artist with a straightforward personality and was generous to his underlings, so his influence in Hung Hing had always been quite significant.

Jiang Lai needs the support of the Hung Hing leader to rise to power quickly!

Chapter 5 Boxing

In the following days, Jiang Lai greeted Thirteen Sister and said that he was going to the Prince's boxing gym to practice boxing.

Thirteen Sister didn't say much after hearing this. The more capable Jiang was in fighting, the safer she felt.

Ever since she witnessed Jiang Lai's strength, Thirteen Sister has regarded Jiang Lai as her leader.

Jiang Lai wanted to practice boxing at the Crown Prince's boxing gym, so Thirteen Sister directly informed the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince had also heard that Thirteen Sister had produced a ruthless fighter under her command and wanted to meet Jiang Lai as well. Without saying a word, he told Jiang Lai to just go.

Jiang Lai, nicknamed "Prince Brother," walked into the boxing gym and saw Prince on the ring. He waved and greeted him.

"Come up and play a round with me, Jiang," the prince said to Jiang when he heard someone calling him while he was practicing his movements on the ring. He took off his boxing gloves and looked at Jiang.

Jiang Lai used to work as a bouncer at Thirteen Sister's place. He had also seen Jiang Lai when the Crown Prince came, but he didn't know that this kid was such a good fighter.

Prince actually has more than one boxing gym, but this one is specifically for Hung Hing members to practice boxing, so the people in the gym are all Hung Hing people, most of whom are Prince's subordinates.

It's often said that Hung Hing produces fighters, and there's some truth to that. Almost every branch of Hung Hing has its own training ground, and Hung Hing places great importance on individual skill.

"Um, Prince, I'm not very good at boxing, so let's see how it goes first." Jiang Lai was a little unsure of what to say. He practiced Bajiquan, which is not some fancy move; every move is fierce. He didn't want to accidentally injure the prince.

"I heard you single-handedly took down twenty or thirty of Lianhe's underlings and beat Hua Fo into a pulp. Why are you chickening out now?" The Crown Prince sized up Jiang Lai and, seeing Jiang Lai's refined appearance, expressed some doubt about Jiang Lai's strength.

"Um, Prince, I practice Bajiquan, so I don't really know much about boxing," Jiang Lai explained when the prince questioned his abilities.

"Bajiquan?" The prince muttered upon hearing Jiang Lai's words.

"Alright, whatever kind of boxing it is, come on, let's spar. Don't worry, I won't use my full strength." The prince had also heard of Bajiquan, but he didn't know much about it. However, he was quite confident in his own strength and didn't care what kind of boxing Jiang Lai had learned.

Jiang saw that the Crown Prince insisted on fighting him, so he couldn't refuse anymore. After all, the Crown Prince and Thirteen Sister were both leaders of the Hung Hing triad, and there were so many of the Crown Prince's underlings watching over him. He couldn't afford to embarrass the Crown Prince, so he could just go easy on him later.

"Alright, Young Master, I'll trouble you to give me some pointers."

After saying that, Jiang Lai prepared to go straight to the arena.

At this moment, the henchman next to him stepped forward and handed Jiang Lai a set of protective gear and two boxing gloves.

"No need, no need, Prince, I'm not used to wearing this. It's okay, just hit me as much as you want, I can take it," Jiang Lai said to the Prince, clearly not used to wearing boxing gear.
