Days in Hong Kong variety shows
Chapter 5 The Clever Fool: I Have a Way!
In a critical moment, Cao Tai broke down the door and saved a girl named Gang Sheng who was almost assaulted. He then kindly borrowed tens of thousands of dollars and a handgun from the smuggler, Awei.
During their late-night hike to Saigon, the three men killed five snake catchers. The snake smuggler, Wai, was utterly unethical; not only did he raise the price midway, but he also tried to sell women who couldn't recoup the difference to the Ma Lan triad, and even sold the information to the snake catchers.
After a night of trekking, during which he knocked out eight policemen stationed at key locations, he finally arrived at Saigon market around 8 a.m. after daybreak...
"Ring ring ring..." A piercing ringing sound came from the red telephone on the boss's desk against the wall.
Da Sha looked down at Cao Tai, who was playing with a small teacup he picked up from the coffee table with his left hand. Then, Cao Tai clenched his fist with his five fingers together and wrapped the teacup in his hand. The veins on the back of his hand suddenly bulged. Then, he gently opened his palm, and the powder mixed with the crumbs fell gently onto the coffee table, forming a small pile.
He looked up at Cao Tai, his lips twitched twice but he still couldn't manage a smile.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Da Sha." Cao Tai smiled as he gently patted the remaining powder off his palm.
"No trouble at all!" He glanced at the still-ringing phone, then turned to look at Cao Tai.
"Please make yourself at home." Cao Tai gestured for him to proceed.
"Okay, okay! Please wait a moment." He stood up, rushed to the boss's desk, picked up the phone, and yelled menacingly, "Hello! What's up?!"
The survival wisdom of middle-aged veteran thugs lies in their ability to maintain a fierce and intimidating demeanor when facing other gangs. Even in brawls involving hundreds or thousands of people, the weapons are primarily clubs, machetes, and other weapons. In the end, only 30 to 50 people from each side typically require hospital treatment for ten to fifteen days, while the rest simply need some liniment at home.
But offending the Big Circle is not so simple. Don't be fooled by their small numbers; they can pick up a gun and shoot without saying a word, and they have no sense of江湖 (jianghu, the code of conduct) rules at all.
After quickly finishing his sentence, Da Sha hung up the phone and strode back.
"This brother..."
"Cao Tai!"
"Brother Cao, I have good news. The police station just notified us to send two more truckloads of vegetables. You can hide in the delivery truck later, and I'll have someone meet you in the kitchen."
If you're careful, you should be able to get through two days. Once the lockdown eases, you can try to get out of the city.
Cao Tai pondered for a moment: "Someone must have seen us along the way. What will you do when the police come to investigate?"
"I'll have a few brothers pretend to be you and drive north in one car. Then we'll abandon the car at the foot of a random mountain and come back, making people think you're going to cross Ma On Shan to Sha Tin."
"If anyone comes to ask me, just say you just came to buy a car. I have some connections here, so you won't be forced to ask questions."
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Da Sha." Cao Tai pondered for a moment. He couldn't think of a good way to get into the city, but the idea from this Saigon local sounded good, so he decided to do as he was told.
If they are exposed, the two-person team should be able to break through the blockade and enter the mountain. At that time, for Gang Sheng's safety, they may have to leave her behind first and then find a way to come back and rescue her. However, by then, the identities of the three of them will be almost completely exposed.
He and Xiao Fu are nothing special, but even if the Hong Kong student gets the birth certificate, he may not be able to obtain citizenship and an ID card through normal procedures.
But I don't have a good solution right now. If I don't want to break out violently and trigger an even bigger police manhunt, I should stay low-key and hide for now...
Big Fool was extremely efficient. He led the three of them through the back door of the repair shop to the warehouse area behind it, where at least dozens of cars were parked.
"We'll find a cheap water truck here later, and I'll have a few brothers dress it up and we'll set off. When the police ask, I can say you're here to buy a truck, and they can find the truck and the driver."
We'll go to the seafood warehouse next door first. You'll hide in the seafood delivery truck and go straight into the police station.
"Don't worry, we won't be checked at the gate. The kitchen staff are all our own people. Just give them a heads-up and there won't be any problems!" Da Sha explained to the three men who were thoughtfully looking at the warehouse full of vehicles.
Next door, in the seafood warehouse, about ten baskets of seafood had been loaded into the back of the truck, with a narrow passageway left in the middle for only one person to pass through.
Cao Tai reached into Xiao Fu's handbag, pulled out a wad of cash about halfway up the bag, which looked to be around twenty or thirty thousand yuan, put it in his pocket, then zipped up the bag, wiped it a couple of times, and handed it to Da Sha:
"We've really troubled you this time, Brother Da Sha! It's not much, just a small token of our appreciation. Please treat the brothers to some tea. We'll repay you more later when we've established ourselves."
Big Fool's mature yet fierce face shifted slightly several times before he finally accepted the handbag: "Thank you very much!"
He waved his hand, then turned around and pulled Gangsheng to step onto the carriage. He bent down and went through the reserved passage to the innermost part, where he squatted down and hid. After Xiaofu also squeezed in and squatted down, he waited for him to follow.
Da Sha waved his hand, and two staff members quickly loaded several baskets of seafood onto the truck, blocking the aisle. From the back of the truck, it was impossible to see how many people were hiding inside.
The rear iron door slowly closed, and the carriage went dark the instant the light disappeared. Although he was crouching, Gang Sheng still tried his best to squeeze into Cao Tai's arms!
Reaching out to embrace her youthful, vibrant body, inhaling her fresh scent, and listening to her breath quicken briefly and then return to normal as the light faded, Cao Tai's usually calm heart couldn't help but stir with a touch of romance.
The vehicle swayed slightly for about 5 minutes before stopping. Cao Tai could clearly hear the conversation outside; they had arrived at the Saigon Police Station gate.
Within 10 seconds, the car started again and continued driving, with no one opening the back door to check the passenger compartment.
The car continued to sway and move for less than two minutes before finally stopping again.
A few seconds later, the back door opened with a "bang," and light immediately streamed into the carriage.
"Hurry up and move the ingredients inside." A slightly aged voice rang out.
Then the last few baskets of seafood were carried down in order, and the passageway was revealed. Cao Tai gently helped Gang Sheng, who was already squatting in his arms, up, then bent down, squeezed through the passageway, jumped off the car, turned around and helped Gang Sheng jump down, and Xiao Fu followed and jumped down lightly.
Standing behind the car was a short-haired driver with a tight T-shirt that revealed his strong upper body, and bright tattoos on the parts of his body that were not covered by his clothes. The other man was a short, beardless old man of about sixty years old, wearing a chef's uniform with gray hair. His rolled-up sleeves revealed his two strong forearms, and you could see the bulging muscles even without him exerting any force. It was clear at a glance that these were a pair of very strong hands.
After observing the three for a few seconds, I noticed they were all standing casually. The woman was tall and had a beautiful face. The one she was holding was even taller and quite handsome, especially with the faint smile on his face that gave him a roguish charm. Although I didn't know the term "roguish charm," the short man stood with his back against the carriage, looking around at his surroundings.
The vehicle was parked parallel to the wall of a bungalow, with the rear door of the vehicle only two or three meters away from the rear door of the bungalow.
"Follow me," the old man said, leading the three of them through the small door.
Inside, there's a passageway about a meter wide and four or five meters long. At the end of the passageway, you can see a large kitchen, and there's also a door on each side of the passageway.
Instead of going directly into the kitchen, we went through the small door on the left side of the passageway, which led to a food pre-processing area of about 30 square meters.
Looking through the door on the right, several kitchen staff were arranging the freshly delivered seafood. A blast of cold air was escaping from the open door, which must be the food storage room. This time, Da Sha delivered all the seafood that was frozen.
Inside, two middle-aged women were washing two baskets of vegetables. When they saw the chef and three others come in, they temporarily stopped what they were doing.
"Aunt Fu, get these three a set of work clothes, and then assign them some simple tasks to do in the room. They don't need to go out. Just wash the ingredients and you and Aqing can take them out." The old man instructed the plump woman who was about 50 years old.
"Understood, Uncle De," they both replied in unison.
Uncle De turned to Cao Tai and said, "I overheard a bit of what happened when they went out on duty this morning. After Fuquan contacted me just now, I roughly understand what happened. You guys have a bottom line in your actions. Those eight patrol officers are all fine, so I'll agree to help you this time."
"No one should think to search this place. Even if someone does come, we have ways to cover it up. You can stay here and be fine. The seven people in the kitchen are all from the same village; no one will say a word."
"Thank you!" Cao Tai nodded slightly in thanks after Uncle De finished speaking.
