Days in Hong Kong variety shows

Chapter 93 Ambush

Based on the information collected during this period, Cao Tai felt that Liu Guangrong was a very contradictory person.

He came from a respectable background and entered the film and television industry right after graduation. He was once a popular leading man and a pillar of the television station. Later, he founded his own film company and produced several successful films.

Logically speaking, having achieved this much in his early thirties, he can be considered a rising force in the film industry, and in the future, he may be comparable to some of the film industry's big names.

But in reality, not only did the owners of the two major television stations, Wen Yueting and Qiu Deyin, not think highly of him, even Long Wei, who is currently the most popular actor in the film and television industry, did not want to get close to him.

It was because he was unwilling to give up his identity as the "princeling of the underworld," an identity that gave him a certain degree of influence in Lianle and even the entire underworld, making him unwilling to relinquish it.

So, when the big bosses in the entertainment industry saw him as involved in organized crime, they felt he was no different from other "tigers." Even if he made some achievements in the film industry, they still looked down on him.

Other bigwigs in the underworld think he's a hypocrite, wanting to have his cake and eat it too. Little do they know that the respect they're giving him is actually for the sake of Lianle, or more specifically, for the face of Lianle's founder, Daju.

Even today, when Guo Yingnan hosted the dinner, Cao Tai was certain that it was only because "Daju" from the Ma family personally requested it that he gave him the face.

After all, when Guo Yingnan organized a fleet to transport supplies north in the early 50s, "Big Kwan" also provided strong support, sending his own transport fleet to assist Guo Yingnan in transporting supplies.

"Mr. Liu, I know what you want. I can send the person back in a bit, but what kind of explanation do you or he have in mind?" Forget about wits and courage, Cao Tai is now relying on a swift and decisive move.

Cao Tai's quick wit made Guo Yingnan, who was about to slowly savor his tea, suddenly pause, his hand holding the teacup still in his hand. Then, he smiled again and took a small sip of tea.

Just as Liu Guangrong was about to chat for three to five minutes about their friendship, then dabble in their relationship for another ten or eight minutes before finally revealing his ultimate goal, Cao Tai directly choked him up.

"Cough cough..." After coughing twice to catch his breath, Liu Guangrong turned his gaze to Guo Yingnan, who was smiling and looked indifferent.

Finally, she turned to Cao Tai and said, "Mr. Cao, I can guarantee that Shicheng will not appear in front of you again, and I can give the two ladies a red envelope of 880,000 yuan to calm their nerves."

Hong Kong Island isn't very big, so it's difficult for two people who don't know each other very well to bump into each other by chance, but there are always exceptions. It seems Liu Guangrong wants to send Fatty Liu to live elsewhere, so that his guarantee will be more reliable.

The 88 yuan red envelope was Liu Pangzi's life-saving money. To be honest, Cao Tai didn't lack this amount of money, but the price did show some sincerity.

In Hong Kong, you can buy a life that isn't particularly valuable for a few thousand dollars, but a job that requires only an arm or a leg will start at least at thirty to fifty thousand dollars.

In Cao Tai's eyes, Fatty Liu was the kind of person who had no influence.

After glancing at the composed Guo Yingnan, Cao Tai stopped wasting words and said directly to Liu Guangrong, "Okay, let's leave it at that!"

'

"Mr. Guo, that's all for today. I'll treat you to dinner again next time." Neither side would have a pleasant meal with Liu Guangrong, so after a few words, Cao Tai simply took his leave.

"Okay, let's have a meal together sometime." Guo Yingnan's voice was still cheerful and generous.

As he exited Lan Fong Yuen, he hailed a passing taxi. Cao Tai hesitated for a moment as he opened the car door, but quickly got into the back seat.

"To Saigon," Cao Tai announced his destination.

"Yes, sir." The driver was tall and burly, with a very deep voice.

The taxi quickly started moving, and after driving for about twenty minutes, Cao Tai glanced out the window and said quietly, "This road...something doesn't seem right!"

"Oh, the Pik Uk section of Clear Water Bay Road is closed, so we need to take a detour. Don't worry, we won't charge you extra."

Cao Tai said no more, closed his eyes and rested.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the target had closed his eyes and seemed not to suspect him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look at the road ahead.

"Screech..." The taxi, which was traveling at a steady speed on the road, suddenly braked, and the driver, who had already unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door and got out of the car in one smooth motion.

Cao Tai slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the two vans blocking the taxi. At this time, the taxi driver had joined up with more than 10 burly men holding knives and sticks who got out of the vans and surrounded the taxi parked on the mountain road.

"Screech..." A black sedan glided past the crowd and stopped diagonally in front of the bread truck. Two faces that Cao Tai recognized stepped out.

As the two approached, the crowd parted to make way for them to get closer to the taxi.

"Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to go against my boss?" The guy with the gold-rimmed glasses bent down, a smug look on his face, and looked at Cao Tai sitting in the back seat of the taxi through the glass window with a mocking smile.

Now I remember, this smug look of his overlaps with the image of Charlie Cho from my previous life. Here, he should be Gao John, Zhu Tao's advisor.

How could these flour sellers be so well-informed? They assisted the police in arresting Zhu Tao at noon, and by evening they had tracked him down and even set a simple trap for themselves.

When I first got into the taxi, I thought it was Brother Rong from Lianle who was pretending to make peace with me so that I would lower my guard and then do something underhanded behind my back.

Unexpectedly, it was Zhu Tao, the noodle merchant, who was behind this trouble. I didn't notice anyone following me during the day, but Zhu Tao's side was able to quickly locate me. It seems that the information was leaked by the police.

The suspicion surrounding Inspector Wen, who was bribed by Zhu Tao, has greatly increased!

"Just these few eggs?" Cao Tai smiled slightly.

"Kid, 15 against 1, the advantage is on my side!" John Gao spread his hands, his expression still smug, and leaned close to the car window, probably wanting to get a better look at Cao Tai's panicked expression.

Unfortunately, all that could be seen was Mr. Cao's smile before the car window shattered, and before John Gao could react, a fist smashed his glasses.

He was hit in the head and flung backward, his body falling backward. Fortunately, the crowd behind him was close enough to stop him from falling to the ground.

With a loud "bang," the car door was kicked open, and then with two "tap-tap" sounds, Cao Tai was already standing outside the car.

The burly men who had just been observing Gao John's situation suddenly realized what was happening and turned their gloomy gazes toward Cao Tai.

John Gao, who was in a semi-comatose state, was no longer able to give orders, but the man who got out of the car with him should also be a leader. He shouted "Kill him!" and then the big men raised their knives and clubs and rushed forward.

"Slap!" "Thump!" "Pfft!"...
