Days in Hong Kong variety shows

On the way back, the two cars followed each other. Since Wu Bao was staying at Uncle Curly's house in Clear Water Bay, and the East Harbour Tunnel had not yet been built, they could only take the Hung Hom Tunnel through Kowloon to return to Clear Water Bay. Cao Tai and the others were staying at a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, so it was only natural that they followed Wu Bao.

The Honda was like a low-pressure center, with surrounding pressure converging inside, and the air was unusually quiet! Gang Sheng frowned, his lips were tightly pressed together, and a hint of frustration crossed his face.

Xiao Fu sat in the back, barely daring to breathe, because the atmosphere in the car was just too oppressive.

Cao Tai pursed his lips, seemingly focused on driving, but at least half of his mind was on Gang Sheng. The woman's displeasure was clearly written on her face. Cao Tai's mind raced as he considered how to appease her.

You think Cao Tai's other half of his mind is on driving? You're so wrong. His other half is thinking about his little sister. That's why they say that when you're well-fed and clothed, you think about other things. Men with money will do this and that.

What caught Cao off guard in the elevator wasn't love, but human nature, an uncontrollable impulse. It seemed to give Cao's excess passion an outlet; his current wavering mind was perfectly normal for a man.

After exiting the Cross-Harbour Tunnel, the van from Wu Bao continued straight along Hong Zhuang Road towards Kwun Tong in Hung Hom, flashing its hazard lights to bid farewell to the car behind Cao Tai, while Cao Tai turned left onto the ramp towards Tsim Sha Tsui.

That night, Gang Sheng transformed into a female knight.

Finally, Ms. Wang, almost completely exhausted, lay on her side in Mr. Cao's arms, stretching out one hand and drawing circles on Mr. Cao's firm chest with her fingers.

"I asked Hongdou, and she doesn't have a boyfriend yet. If you really like her, you can try to pursue her!" Ms. Wang said quietly after a pause.

Just as Cao Tai was pondering the meaning of her words, she suddenly straightened up, looking directly into his eyes from above. After a moment of eye contact, she lowered her gaze and said with a hint of stubbornness and determination in her voice, "Really, if it's Hongdou, I don't object!"

"Who is Hongdou?" Cao Tai suddenly asked, even though he was 99% sure who it was, he still had to ask.

"Huh?" Gang Sheng looked at Cao Tai with a puzzled expression. "It's my little sister. She's the younger sister of Curly-haired Li Ji. Her full name is Li Hongdou."

"It doesn't look like it at all! Curly hair is so ugly!" she commented, pretending not to care.

Two slender fingers pinched Cao Tai's waist and twisted it hard. "Don't you think Hongdou is pretty? She doesn't look like Li Ji at all. Actually, I felt today that Hongdou is starting to like you a little. If you put in a little effort, I might have another sister. But what can I do? I only have you now. As long as you don't abandon me, that's enough."

As she spoke, she lay down on Cao Tai's chest again.

"Let nature take its course!" Cao Tai reached out and embraced her delicate body.

......

On July 17, 1983, at 11:30 p.m., on the first floor of an industrial building on reclaimed land, the factory building, built in the 1940s and occupying nearly 3000 square feet, was listed by the government as a dangerous building and had to be demolished and rebuilt before it could be used. Because the owner did not have enough funds to demolish and rebuild, and bank interest rates were high recently, it was temporarily vacant.

At this moment, about 200 people were gathered in the large factory building on the first floor, but they were all silent. Because the doors and windows were covered with thick felt, no one passing by noticed that more than 200 young people were gathered together through a thin wall.

Most of the people were dressed in brightly colored clothes, and their hairstyles were also bizarre and varied in color. Standing in front of this group were Nine-Dragon's former underlings: a man with long, shaved heads, and the four men known as Nine Dragons and Three Eagles. These four men and the group behind them all looked at Nine-Dragon, who stood facing them, with burning eyes. This was the legend of Heyi, and today he would lead them to reclaim Heyi and restore its former glory.

Meanwhile, a dozen or so burly men stood against the wall, all wearing masks. Their loose black casual clothes looked slightly bulky, as if they had stuffed something inside. They stared coldly at the somewhat fanatical gangsters in front of them.

The two groups stood together, yet they seemed completely out of place. If it weren't for the bright yellow ribbon tied around each person's left arm, no one would have mistaken them for a single group.

"Six years ago, in Siam, my two brothers and I helped my grandfather collect debts. After I lost a leg and my two brothers paid with their lives, I helped the gang get back every penny of the 600 million." Nine-Dragon said slowly, his tone cold as if he were telling someone else's story.

He glanced around slowly, then calmly continued, "I'm not saying this to prove my achievements, but to ask the boss why I was ambushed when I went to Siam to collect the debt as he instructed. When I risked losing a leg to fight my way out and contacted the boss for help to escape, why were Siamese police the ones who showed up?"

"Six years, a full six years. I kept thinking and thinking in prison, and even on the day I was released, I still couldn't understand why."

"Then I came back, back to Hong Kong Island. I don't want to ask why anymore. I just want to get a good job and live a peaceful life, but..." Nine-Dragon pounded his chest with his fist, "But even after all this, some people still won't let me go. Almost every day, people come to cause trouble at my workplace. They keep pressuring me."

"Originally, I expected to be in the police station on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and in the crematorium on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays when I was out in the underworld. I was thinking of retiring from the underworld, but since some people don't want me to live, then I have to stand up and tell everyone that I wasn't anything special six years ago, but that I'm going to take back everything I've lost!" The last sentence was almost shouted.

"Brother Long, Brother Long, Brother Long..." The gangsters were suddenly filled with excitement and couldn't help but shout loudly.

In a unit on the second floor of a building across the street from the factory building, all the lights were off. A dozen people were standing or sitting, all silent. A figure stood behind the window, his bright eyes fixed on the roller shutter door that had been pulled down on the first floor of the factory building.

As a burst of shouts and cheers erupted from the factory, a sneer curled at the corner of his mouth in the shadows. He sneered, "Tch, gangsters are gangsters. They don't even know such a simple principle as 'secrecy leads to success, while leaks lead to failure.' The news has spread throughout the whole street. At the Deli Tea House, Chen Xikang of Heyi had already laid an ambush with hundreds of men, and Hong Le, that illegitimate son from Taiwan, also brought 200 men. Nine-Dragon was fighting three against one, and he lost 90% of the battle before he even made a move."

"Sir, even if gangsters use their brains, they can't escape your grasp." This shoeshine officer must really enjoy watching "Journey to the West."

As a car passes by on the street below, its headlights reflect off the glass and shine through the second-floor window. In the instant the light passes, a mixed-race face, neither Chinese nor Western, flashes by.

If viewed from above, a black figure could be seen sitting on the rooftop of this six-story building, where more than a dozen police officers are crammed into the second floor. Facing the street, the figure's legs were dangling and swinging rhythmically.

Cao Tai, dressed in a black fitted suit, tilted his head as if listening intently to Huang Zhicheng, the yellow dog on the second floor, speaking arrogantly and smugly, and his shoe-shining subordinates flattering him. A cold smile appeared on his lips.

A week ago, Big Fool had already persuaded Nine-Dragon to stand up and expose that Chen Xikang, the leader of the Wo Yi organization, betrayed his brothers six years ago, resulting in the deaths of two and injuries to one of the men who went to Siam to collect debts. The injured man was even sold to the police and served six years in prison. The reason for Big Fool's claim to the leadership of Wo Yi was to rekindle the Wo Yi banner.

The next day, after Nine-Dragon contacted his former underlings, Long Hair and Three Eagles, Ning Wei, who was in charge of monitoring Nine-Dragon, sent back a message that Nine-Dragon was being monitored by the police. Moreover, after Ning Wei tracked down the head of the police surveillance team, he discovered that it was Long Hair who had leaked the information to the police.

Then Cao Tai personally went to observe the police surveillance team and discovered that it was actually Inspector Huang Zhicheng, the "Yellow Dog" from "Infernal Affairs," leading the team. He never expected that the long-haired man was actually his undercover agent. Huang Zhicheng, who is now over 30 years old, has only become an inspector. Six years ago, he was at most a sergeant or police station sergeant. He dared to recruit undercover agents when he was still a junior officer. It was really audacious.

Later, it was discovered that Huang Zhicheng had secretly leaked information about Nine-Dragon to the leader of the Wo Yee organization, leading Cao Tai to suspect that the kid was up to no good. If Nine-Dragon were to take over, it would mean that some people's plans within Wo Yee would be completely disrupted or even destroyed, and some easily attainable merits would be lost, requiring them to find new ways to get promoted and receive a raise.

It was later discovered that Wong Chi-shing was now the leader of an anti-triad squad in the Yau Tsim Police District, and the district's anti-triad commander was none other than Chief Inspector Luk Kai-cheung. Cao Tai then roughly came up with a plan.

Given the current situation, even if Nine-Dragon manages to take down Wo Yee with the help of Cao Tai (Wang Weiguo came to Hong Kong Island a week ago with 15 comrades, and they are now holding a meeting in the warehouse with their faces covered; Ning Wei also went south with them at the time), it will be severely weakened. If any gang in the surrounding area makes a move, Nine-Dragon might not be able to withstand it.

If, at the end of this shootout, an inspector-level police officer dies on a triad's territory, will the police personally intervene and crack down on the crime? If the police can intervene in time to crack down on the crime the moment Nine-Dragon wins, then for a period of time, all the leaders of the surrounding triads will probably be invited back to the police station for questioning, while the underlings can only squat in their territories without daring to move. Other triads further away can only watch helplessly, not daring to come in and face the police's wrath.

The police might not follow Cao Tai's plan. After all, he didn't think the plan was particularly brilliant. He just dared to do it because he could think of these things. Even if it failed, it didn't matter. He would just stay behind the scenes and take things one step at a time.

Anyway, once the incident is over, Nine-Dragon should be able to establish a firm foothold, and then they can gradually take back their previous territory according to plan, repeating the operations from six years ago.

If the police target Nine-Dragon alone, then Mr. Cao might actually go out and cause trouble, kill a few gang leaders, and dump their bodies in other gang territories, waiting for a chaotic brawl in the underworld. At that time, no one will have time to notice that a sunset gang has suddenly risen again!

Huang Zhicheng is the sacrifice Cao Tai chose. He's already causing trouble before he's even fully developed. If he gets dragged down by Lu Qichang and then takes over the anti-triad work in Yau Tsim Police District, who knows how much trouble he'll cause then.

"Clang, clang, clang..." The roller shutter door of the factory building across the street was pulled up, accompanied by the clanging sound of steel blades rolling. Then, a group of people surged out in a chaotic rush, quickly filling a section of the street. The 15 people Wei Guo brought were scattered among the crowd in groups of three. After walking a short distance, the group turned onto Ningbo Street and headed towards the Deli Teahouse on Wusong Street.

"Zhang, take some men and follow them, but don't get too close. Once you get there, stay back and watch the show. Wait until Nine-Dragon is crippled before you step in and lock those bosses up for questioning. Inspector Lu has already requested support from the uniformed officers; they're already on standby nearby. Switch your walkie-talkies to line 3 and synchronize with them. I have some things to take care of first, then I'll be there."

"YES, SIR!" Then came a flurry of footsteps.

Listening to the conversation on the second floor, Cao Tai stretched out his left hand, which was wearing a leather glove, with his palm facing the crescent moon hanging in the western sky, as if he wanted to catch the moonlight in his hand.

Less than ten seconds later, more than a dozen figures emerged from downstairs. After watching the tail end of the large group turn into Ningbo Street, they slowly followed.

At this moment, the hour, minute, and second hands on the wrist of Cao Tai's outstretched left hand simultaneously pointed to the 12 position.

The moonlight seemed to flash suddenly, and Huang Zhicheng, who had just stepped out onto the street, appeared to be blinded by the light. He raised his hand to shield his eyes, then lowered it after two seconds. Looking up at the sky, he saw only small patches of dark clouds moving towards the moon, slowly beginning to devour its light. After staring at the waning moon for a few seconds, perhaps feeling that his actions were somewhat inexplicable, he shook his head and turned to walk in the opposite direction from his subordinates.

On the rooftop, unnoticed by Huang Zhicheng, darkness seemed to engulf the entire rooftop, even making Cao Tai's figure appear and disappear. At this moment, Cao Tai was immersed in the changes in his attributes.
