Hong Kong variety show: I wanted to be a lawyer, but I became a big shot.

......

2:30 a.m., Chung Hsin Yi headquarters.

The lights in the corridor flickered on and off, and several light bulbs had been broken for a long time without being repaired.

A faint musty smell permeated the air, mixed with the odor of disinfectant and blood.

When Lian Haolong came out of the office, he had already changed into clean clothes.

The wound was wrapped in thick gauze, and a large black trench coat covered the bandages on the body.

His face was still pale, but he was in much better spirits than before.

Ah Wu, Lian Haodong, Ah Fa, and several trusted underlings were already waiting downstairs.

Several black cars were parked side by side on the side of the road, their engines humming softly, their headlights reflecting off the puddles on the road.

Susu walked out of the building carrying a backpack and a briefcase.

Her movements were unhurried, and her face showed no emotion.

"Brother Long, everything is arranged."

"The property management documents are all in this bag."

She patted the document bag.

Lian Haolong didn't even look at him, he just nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Clearly, his mind wasn't on that at the moment.

"Okay. Take the mother and daughter to the dock and wait there. We'll bring the money and meet you there, then we'll leave together."

Su Su nodded slightly, took two steps forward, and gently hugged Lian Haolong.

Her chin rested on his shoulder, her breathing steady.

"Come back safely."

"Yes."

Lian Haolong patted her on the back, then let go and turned to walk towards the car door.

Susu stood there, watching the two Toyota Hiace cars disappear around the street corner.

Her gaze gradually turned cold.

Only after the taillights had completely disappeared from sight did she take out her cell phone from her backpack and dial Ahua's number.

"Brother Hua, they've set off."

"I'm all ready on my end too."

"Should we sign the contract first, or meet up after everything is settled?"

Ahua's voice on the other end of the phone was calm and unhurried.

"Come here first."

"Since you've brought all the property documents, let's sign the transfer papers first."

"Once their money arrives, take the cash and leave."

"it is good."

Su Su hung up the phone and took a deep breath of the night air.

She thought she would be nervous, scared, and hesitant.

In fact, her heart was beating unusually steadily, and there was even a hint of excitement in it.

It's been over twenty years.

She can finally get rid of Lian Haolong.

As for that mistress and that bastard child, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.

She had considered it, but ultimately couldn't get over her mental hurdle.

forget it.

Anyway, starting tonight, Lian Haolong will become a penniless, homeless dog, waiting to beg for food with his mistress and bastard child.

She waved and hailed a taxi parked on the side of the road, then got in.

......

At four in the morning, the night on Hong Kong Island was deep and dark.

Lian Haolong's two Toyota Hiaces drove on the edge of the city for almost an hour and a half, passing through Tsim Sha Tsui, around Yau Ma Tei, and finally turning into a secluded warehouse district in West Kowloon.

That was one of my fourth uncle's private warehouses. They didn't come out of the warehouse until ten minutes later.

Just as I was about to get into the car, my fourth uncle's voice came from behind the cloth bag in the car, muffled and choked with sobs.

"Gentlemen, I've told you where I hid the money, can you please let me go?"

He was crammed onto the carpet in the back seat of the car, his body curled up like a peeled shrimp.

Lian Haolong glanced at the trunk full of travel bags, where bundles of cash were neatly stacked, amounting to at least seventy or eighty million.

The expression on his face finally relaxed a little.

With this money, once he arrived in Southeast Asia, it wouldn't be difficult for him to rebuild his fortune, given his skills and reputation.

We should first establish a firm foothold, conserve our strength for a few years, and then devise a plan to counterattack Hong Kong Island.

The grudges we settle today will be avenged sooner or later.

He gave Afa a wink.

Ah Fa nodded knowingly, walked over to his fourth uncle, squatted down, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Old man, stop pretending to be dead."

"I also know you've been keeping several mistresses on the side. Confess honestly, how much money are you hiding with them?"

Fourth Uncle's body visibly stiffened for a moment.

"Wh...what concubine?"

"I didn't!"

"Don't you dare spread rumors!"

His voice suddenly rose, as if he were trying to cover something up.

Without saying a word, Lian Haodong punched him in the stomach.

Bang!

"ah!!!"

Fourth Uncle let out a miserable scream, curling up into a ball like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.

That punch was really hard; he felt like his internal organs had shifted.

"If you confess honestly, you'll suffer less."

Lian Haodong squatted down, took out a dagger from his pocket, and patted his fourth uncle's face.

"If you don't cooperate, I'll uninstall your QQ!"

"Even if you become rich in the future, you won't have anywhere to have fun anymore."

"You should think about it carefully."

Fourth Uncle trembled all over.

He's not afraid of anything except death and pain.

They are especially afraid of that kind of torment that is worse than death.

He felt a heat in his crotch and was so scared that he peed himself.

"No, no, no! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

He couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out the names and addresses of the five women he was keeping on the side.

The woman described clearly the money hidden in the closet's secret compartment, and the woman's safe under the bed, as if afraid that if she hesitated even slightly, the dagger would fall.

Lian Haolong nodded in satisfaction.

The two cars started up again and drove around the streets of Hong Kong Island for nearly an hour in the early hours of the morning.

Five women, five neighborhoods, five hidden mistresses.

The harvest exceeded everyone's expectations.

The cash amounted to over 50 million, plus the 80 million found in the warehouse earlier, totaling 130 million.

In one night, they made more money than they could earn in several years of hard work on Hong Kong Island.

"You old fool, I never expected you to have this trick up your sleeve."

Even counting the money made Lian Haolong feel much better.

Knowing he was of no use now that his face was covered, the fourth uncle quickly put on a smiling face.

"Hey guys, as the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows."

"This money is all for my own future."

"Just in case something happens someday, it'll be good to have a backup plan."

"Now it's all yours, all yours."

His attitude had become exceptionally docile, and he spoke with respectful language.

He knew very well that his life was now in someone else's hands.

Lian Haodong snorted disdainfully at his fourth uncle's servile attitude.

"Alright, stop acting like a lapdog."

"We'll drop you off somewhere in a bit, and someone will call the police to find you when the time is up."

"Don't worry, we are kidnappers of our word. We said we wouldn't kill you, and we definitely won't."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Si's heart, which had been hanging in suspense all the way, finally settled down.

He nodded gratefully, tears streaming down his face, and thanked him repeatedly.

4:50 a.m.

Tsuen Wan Pier

The sea breeze blew in from the sea, carrying a strong, salty smell.

The distant horizon was still a hazy gray, and the moon had already set in the west, casting a half-light and half-dark glow on the concrete ground of the dock.

Several fishing boats were moored at an angle on the shore, bobbing gently with the waves.

The occasional cry of a seabird in the distance made the space seem exceptionally empty and desolate.
