Days in Hong Kong variety shows

November 16, 1983, night, Central, Coinville Hotel.

About a hundred meters away from the hotel, at an intersection, a second-generation Honda Accord was parked on the side of the road, as if waiting for someone.

Xiao Fu was sitting in the driver's seat, using a small monocular telescope to observe the hotel entrance and its surroundings. Cao Tai, sitting in the passenger seat, didn't need any tools; with his current eyesight, he could see the area in front of the hotel clearly.

It was already past 9 p.m., and there were still quite a few vehicles passing by on the street, but the number of pedestrians had visibly decreased significantly, and those who did pass by were all hurrying along.

"There are patrol officers coming from behind. Go take a detour and come back here to wait for me, so you don't get a ticket. I'm going to join the fun, see you here later." Cao Tai saw two patrol officers approaching from a distance in the rearview mirror and hurriedly told Xiao Fu.

They quickly got out of the car and headed towards the Jundu Hotel, while Xiao Fu also quickly started the car and drove away. After all, the spot where they had just parked was not allowed to be used for temporary parking, and if caught, they would get a ticket and a fine.

From afar, I saw two women in floral dresses walking out of the entrance of the Grand Hotel, followed by a young man in a suit and glasses who ran out a few meters behind them and kept talking to the shorter woman in the red dress.

Cao Tai pretended to be a pedestrian and followed for thirty or forty meters behind, casually putting on a baseball cap.

At a distance of about thirty meters, Cao Tai could clearly hear the bespectacled man's repeated apologies and explanations to the woman in the red dress.

A convertible two-door coupe passed by Cao Tai and then quickly stopped next to two women in dresses.

Looking at the man with slicked-back hair, who was probably in his late thirties, who got out of the driver's seat, Cao Tai compared him to the man in the movies he had seen in his previous life. There was no resemblance at all. If he saw him alone on the street, Cao Tai would not recognize him as the seemingly refined but ruthless international gangster boss known as "Doctor".

The tall, beautiful woman in the dress was Fei Fei, the doctor's accomplice and mistress. If Cao Tai hadn't seen the photos Xiao Fu had secretly taken, he wouldn't have been able to recognize Fei Fei among the hotel staff.

When Cao Tai saw the bespectacled man being interrupted by a barrage of phone calls every time he tried to explain, and then his girlfriend getting into the passenger seat of the lecherous "doctor" in a fit of anger, he almost burst out laughing.

Just as the "doctor" was about to get into the car, Mr. Cao, who "happened" to be passing by, spoke up: "Tsk tsk tsk, the world is going to the dogs! Not only does he splash water on people while driving, but he also blatantly tries to seduce other people's girlfriends. Doesn't he fear being drowned in a pig cage?!"

The "doctor," who was about to open the car door, turned to look at the person who spoke. Judging by his appearance, he was even taller than Sangbang. But looking at his figure, although he was tall, he was not the kind of big guy. He was wearing a baseball cap, and the shadow cast by the brim covered the area above his nose, so only the area below his mouth could be seen.

He didn't seem to have much fighting ability, so the 'doctor' didn't hold back: "What cats and dogs? You little punks only dare to run out into the street and bark when there are fewer people at night."

"Wow, I never expected you to look so refined, yet not only are you good at seducing your sister-in-law, but you also have such a foul mouth. Be careful, or someone might knock your teeth out!" Cao Tai was engrossed in teasing him.

"Damn it!" The petty "doctor" couldn't help but throw a punch at Cao Tai after being mocked to his face.

The "Doctor" has maxed out his explosive skills. Although he is not known for his physical strength, he is a former soldier and his grappling and fighting skills are much better than the average person.

So when his fist was about to hit Cao Tai's chin, a cold smile appeared on his lips. He was already thinking that he would beat this insolent guy into a pig's head and then laugh at him properly. Then he met a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be smiling.

"Hey!" The bespectacled man was about to speak up to stop him for his professional reasons, but Fei Fei, sitting in the back seat of the sports car, sneered at the passerby Cao who was about to be beaten to a pulp. Jesse, in the passenger seat, was anxiously about to open the car door and get out: What's going on? She had just had a little argument with her boyfriend, and now some random passerby is pointing fingers at her.

"Slap!" In the blink of an eye, a loud slap rang out.

Then everyone saw that the man in the baseball cap was still standing steadily. Looking down, the "doctor" who originally had a slicked-back hairstyle, a suit, and looked gentle and refined was now lying on his side on the ground, with a tuft of hair that was fixed back with hair gel falling to his forehead.

She looked just like that innocent little flower who became famous overnight with her single sentence, "Ah, it's so cold," so delicate, weak, and pitiful.

The doctor felt as if a grand Buddhist ritual was taking place in his mind, with chimes, cymbals, and gongs all ringing out, making his head buzz.

The man with glasses originally shouted "Stop!" at the "doctor," but since the "doctor" had already fallen, he naturally shifted his target to Mr. Cao.

Jessie, the woman in the red dress, opened the car door, got out, and turned around to see this scene. Her mouth instantly formed an "O" shape, but unfortunately, she couldn't make a sound.

Feifei, sitting in the back seat, reacted the fastest. After all, she was a female thief with decent fighting skills. The moment the doctor fell, she suppressed her shock, braced herself against the back of the seat, and tried to jump out of the car.

Unfortunately, the gunshot wound in his left shoulder caused him to lose his balance when he exerted force with his left hand, and he fell back into the back seat with a "thud".

"I told you not to have bad breath!" Cao Tai wasn't going to pity the doctor who was pretending to be innocent. The moment the doctor fell, he bent down and punched him in the left eye socket.

The "doctor" who was performing the Water and Land Ritual in his mind suddenly felt as if he saw his great-grandmother, or as if a beam of light broke through the clouds and fell on him, with angels swirling down in the beam of light.

In reality, the 'doctor' tilted his head to the side and collapsed completely.

The man with glasses called out to Cao Tai, "Sir, you..."

"You're welcome! I'm a good person." After saying that, Cao Tai took off running.

"I...you..." His glasses were disheveled in the wind. What kind of good person is this? I'm a police officer! You hurt someone in front of me. Although I feel good about it, I can't just stand by and watch a citizen get beaten up.

Forget it, let's look at the citizens instead. He looks pretty miserable lying on the ground.

Feifei, who wanted to show off by leaping out of the car, obediently opened the car door and got out, enduring the pain in her shoulder as she ran to the 'doctor's' side.

Seeing the doctor's current condition through the streetlights, Fei Fei couldn't help but gasp; it was truly tragic.

The doctor's left cheek looked noticeably rounder than his right, and he had a large dark circle around his left eye. A bloodstain from his left nostril ran down to his upper lip. Seeing the doctor's ridiculous appearance, the female bandit Feifei inexplicably wanted to laugh, but thankfully she managed to hold it back just as her lips were about to twitch.

"Feifei, is your friend alright?" Jesse walked around the front of the car and stood next to Feifei, then looked down at the 'doctor' who was sleeping soundly like a baby.

Before the laughter could even escape, Jesse immediately covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

This made Fei Fei give her a strange look.

"Why don't we take him to the hospital first?" Glasses suggested as he crouched down to check on the 'doctor'. He had just checked, and the doctor's breathing and heartbeat were relatively normal. Although he looked a bit terrible, he shouldn't be in any immediate danger.

"I'll take him myself, Jesse. You've had a long day, go home and rest!" Feifei quickly said. Although they had managed to get their identities by hacking into the police system with the help of an Indian computer expert, these identities could only be used to deal with the checks by patrolling police officers. If they were taken to the police station, their identities might be exposed.
