Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

The subtle look in the prosecutor's eyes did not escape Xiao Shan's divine sense.

Xiao Shan understood perfectly. The prosecutor in front of him, John Bull, was simply taking advantage of the fact that they were from the inland and didn't know the intricacies of customs inspection, and was deliberately trying to annoy them!

"Excuse me, sir, we've been to John's before, and the customs there don't have such rude and disrespectful rules! Did you set these rules yourself?" Although he was annoyed, Xiao Shan still wore a polite smile.

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, the prosecutor became furious and embarrassed.

He slammed his baton against the wall and glared at Xiao Shan, saying, "Don't talk nonsense with me, you rat from the inland, you'd better take your clothes off now whether you like it or not!"

"Once you're here, I'm the boss!"

Looking at the fierce-looking prosecutor, Tan Chengjia hesitated.

After all, for Tan Chengjia, the most important thing is to complete the tasks assigned to him by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

To complete the mission, even if it meant enduring humiliation and hardship, Tan Chengjia was willing to grit his teeth and give up.

With this in mind, Tan Chengjia whispered to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, no matter what, business is more important. How about we..."

Xiao Shan was naturally aware of Tan Chengjia's thoughts.

However, from Xiaoshan's perspective, such an insult is absolutely unacceptable.

Xiao Shan then subtly shook his head at Tan Chengjia and whispered, "Brother Tan, we're going to Hong Kong, but not in this undignified way! John Bull is clearly trying to humiliate us; we can't let him think we're easy to bully!"

Having watched many Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas in his previous life, Xiao Shan naturally knew that after the prosecutor made them take off their clothes, the next step was to bend over.

Xiao Shan glanced coldly at the disposable gloves on the small table beside him; he didn't want to suffer such an insult.

"Sir, I believe that reason should prevail wherever we go! We came to Hong Kong to participate in a competition and should not be treated like this!" If Xiao Shan had come alone, he would have already shown this prosecutor why the flowers were so red.

However, now that he's come with Tan Chengjia and the others, Xiao Shan still doesn't want to ruin the Foreign Affairs Department's plans, if possible.

But the prosecutor in front of them was determined to humiliate Xiao Shan and his group.

He sneered at Xiao Shan and said, "How you are treated in Hong Kong is up to me!"

As he spoke, the prosecutor picked up his baton and lashed it at Yang Tai, who was standing closest to him.

He added menacingly, "Hurry up and take off all your clothes, or I'll have to resort to violence!"

When Yang Tai and Zhang He saw that Tan Chengjia and the others' expressions had changed, they immediately assumed a fighting stance.

So when the prosecutor swung his baton down, Yang Tai simply dodged it.

The prosecutor never expected Yang Tai to dodge, so he used too much force and fell face-first to the ground.

Struggling to his feet, the prosecutor instinctively reached for his whistle to call for reinforcements to arrest Xiao Shan and his accomplices.

However, Xiao Shan snatched the prosecutor's whistle, then took out a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of the prosecutor: "Sir, I think you should recognize the person in the photo!"

The prosecutor, who was originally in a stern mood, was taken aback when he saw the person in the photo that Xiao Shan took out.

He asked incredulously, "Sir Rohrermin? How do you have his picture?"

This photo was faxed to Xiao Shan by Allen after he learned that Xiao Shan was going to Hong Kong.

The person in the photo is Allen's cousin, Luo Leming. Allen told Xiao Shan that if he encountered any problems in Hong Kong, he could go directly to him for help.

The prosecutor was so surprised to see Law Lok-ming's photo because Law Lok-ming is the current Colonial Secretary of Hong Kong, the second most important person in the Hong Kong government after the Governor of Hong Kong!

If this inland man in front of him really knows Luo Leming, then he has really kicked a hornet's nest!

Seeing the prosecutor starting to panic, Xiao Shan coldly said, "How I would have Mr. Luo Leming's photo is something I don't need to tell you! If you think I'm lying to you, you can just call Mr. Luo Leming and tell him that Xiao Shan is currently being subjected to an insulting inspection by Hong Kong Customs!"

As for Xiao Shan, he didn't actually want to use Luo Leming's photo to intimidate others.

Because doing so might give Tan Chengjia and the others some bad ideas.

However, the prosecutor was being aggressive, and things had come to this point. If Xiao Shan didn't want to resolve the matter by force, he could only use Luo Leming's name to intimidate the prosecutor.

Seeing Xiao Shan take out another piece of paper with a phone number on it, the prosecutor immediately put on a smiling face and repeatedly said that what had just happened was a misunderstanding and hoped that Xiao Shan would not mind.

Although the prosecutor didn't know if the phone number was Luo Leming's private number, judging from Xiao Shan's demeanor, it didn't seem like he was lying.

Therefore, the prosecutor naturally didn't dare to make the call to test if it was real.

Because if it's true, then I'll be in real trouble!

Seeing the prosecutor who was like a chameleon, Xiao Shan had no intention of getting entangled with him. He simply asked him to let his group out of customs and did not intend to hold it against him.

Seeing that Xiao Shan didn't seem to care about the matter, the prosecutor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He then went to his colleague to retrieve the luggage of Xiaoshan and his group.

"Mr. Xiao Shan, please check your luggage and see if anything is missing!" the prosecutor said, looking at Xiao Shan with a fawning expression.

Fortunately, he arrived just in time; his colleague had only checked half of the luggage.

Otherwise, once my colleagues have checked all the luggage, there will definitely be some things missing!

"No need to check!" Xiao Shan waved his hand and said, "If anything is missing later, I'll ask Mr. Luo Leming to talk to your superior!"

Hearing Xiao Shan's clearly threatening words, the prosecutor not only dared not get angry, but also had to smile obsequiously at Xiao Shan.

They escorted the group from Xiaoshan out of the Hong Kong Customs, as if sending away a plague god.

After exiting the Hong Kong Customs, Yang Tai looked at Xiao Shan with some curiosity and asked, "Director Xiao, whose photo did you just show that prosecutor? Why did his attitude change completely after seeing the photo?"

Not only Yang Tai, but everyone else also looked at Xiao Shan with curiosity.

“My friend’s cousin works for the Hong Kong government!” Xiao Shan said with a smile.

Although Yang Tai and the others knew that things were not as simple as Xiao Shan had described, they did not investigate further.

As for Tan Chengjia, although he knew something about Xiao Shan and Allen's situation, he wouldn't say it in front of so many people.

Because Xiao Shan and his team came out on a secret mission, it was naturally difficult for them to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

So I had to find a place to stay on my own.

Fortunately, Tan Chengjia had been to Hong Kong before, so he quickly helped Xiao Shan and the others settle down.

After settling in, Xiao Shan told Tan Chengjia that he was going to visit his friend's cousin.

After all, I just borrowed Luo Leming's name, so it would be a bit unreasonable not to pay him a visit.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Tan Chengjia asked Xiao Shan. "After all, it's your first time in Hong Kong, so don't get lost!"

Xiao Shan shook his head: "No need, I can go by myself! Besides, what will happen to them if the two of us who both understand English go out?"

Tan Chengjia was taken aback, then realized that Xiao Shan's words made sense, so he nodded and said, "Then be careful on the road! Although Hong Kong is an international metropolis, it's not exactly safe!"

"Don't worry, I'll protect myself!" Xiao Shan said with a smile. "If I really run into any trouble, I know a thing or two about martial arts!"

Considering that Yang Tai and Zhang He were both shocked by Xiao Shan, Tan Chengjia didn't say anything about Xiao Shan's knowledge of martial arts.

After leaving the hotel, Xiao Shan took a taxi directly to the address Allen had given him and went to Luo Leming's home.

Perhaps because Allen had told Luo Leming about Xiao Shan beforehand, Luo Leming treated Xiao Shan very warmly.

During the conversation, Luo Leming expressed his apologies after learning that Xiao Shan had been harassed by the customs prosecutor.

Furthermore, Luo Leming stated that this was merely the dregs within John Bull, and that the majority of John Bull employees were still warm, hospitable, and gentlemanly.

Xiao Shan not only wouldn't expose Luo Leming's blatant lies, but would even flatter him.

Seeing that Xiao Shan was so cooperative, Luo Leming was naturally very happy.

So he invited Xiao Shan to stay at his home.

Xiao Shan thanked Luo Leming for his kindness, explaining that he had come with friends to participate in the Unlimited Fighting Tournament and would need to stay with them.

Hearing Xiao Shan say this, Luo Leming did not insist.

He simply told Xiao Shan that if he encountered any problems in Hong Kong, he could come to him anytime!

Xiao Shan immediately seized the opportunity and said to Luo Leming, "Sir, could you please help me find out about a family?"

"Who is it?" Luo Leming didn't find anything wrong with Xiao Shan's opportunistic behavior.

Xiao Shan slowly said, "This family's surname is Lou, and they used to be a well-known wealthy merchant family in Beijing. Their daughter is named Lou Xiao'e, and she is my neighbor. For some reasons that cannot be said, the whole family moved to Hong Kong."

"The Lou family?" Luo Leming searched his memory but found nothing. "I've never heard of them, but don't worry, as long as they're in Hong Kong, I'll find them for you."

As he spoke, Luo Leming seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Xiao Shan with a teasing gaze: "Xiao, this Miss Lou Xiao'e must be very beautiful, right?"

"Sir, I have a wife and children!" Xiao Shan replied seriously in response to Luo Leming's teasing.

Xiao Shan wanted to see the Lou family not only to reconnect with old friends, but also because he wanted Lou Bancheng to do something for him.

After all, if I want to invest in Hong Kong, I need someone I can trust.

In present-day Hong Kong, the first family that comes to mind for Xiaoshan is the Lou family.

Judging from Luo Leming's reaction just now, the Lou family had not yet established themselves in Hong Kong at this time.

This is actually good news for Xiaoshan, which wants to recruit Lou Bancheng's family.

Looking at the serious-looking Xiao Shan, Luo Leming revealed a knowing smile that only men would understand.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Shan took his leave.

After leaving Luo Leming's home, Xiao Shan took a car directly to the vicinity of the land he had purchased.

Looking at the land he had purchased, Xiao Shan was actually quite excited.

When Xiao Shan returned to the hotel where he was staying, he found that Tan Chengjia and the others looked rather grim.

"Brother Tan, what's wrong?" Xiao Shan pulled Tan Chengjia into his room and asked bluntly.

Tan Chengjia sighed and said to Xiao Shan, "Zhang He suddenly fell ill this afternoon!"

"What? Sick? What happened?" Xiao Shan didn't expect that Zhang He, one of the contestants, would fall ill at this crucial moment.

Tan Chengjia said helplessly, "The doctor said that Zhang He is suffering from acclimatization problems and needs to rest for at least a week!"

"A week? The preliminary round of the no-holds-barred fighting tournament is tomorrow, isn't it?"

Tan Chengjia frowned deeply: "Yes! But Zhang He is in no condition to register for the preliminary round! We can only send Yang Tai alone!"

“If Yang Tai goes alone, the chances of him making it to the semifinals will be reduced!” Xiao Shan naturally knew that Tan Chengjia hoped that Yang Tai and his team could hold on for as long as possible.

"There's nothing we can do about this situation..." As she spoke, Tan Chengjia's gaze fell on Xiao Shan. "Xiao Shan, I remember you said before that you also know a little bit about martial arts, right? Why don't you..."

Xiao Shan never expected that Tan Chengjia, in his desperation, would actually target him.

Looking at Tan Chengjia, who was gazing at him expectantly, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Brother Tan, the job I'm doing with you guys this time is as a translator!"

"There's no rule saying translators can't participate in no-holds-barred fighting tournaments!" Tan Chengjia chuckled, then said seriously, "Of course, if you think it's okay, I'll register you; if you think it's inappropriate, I won't force you! After all, your safety is more important than participating in no-holds-barred fighting tournaments!"

If there were no other options, Tan Chengjia would not have set his sights on Xiaoshan.

You see, if the people in the metallurgical system find out that I sent Xiao Shan to participate in the unlimited fighting tournament, they will absolutely not let me off the hook!

Seeing Tan Chengjia's expression—wanting him to participate in the competition but also afraid of getting hurt—Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Since you've said so, Brother Tan, then I'll give it a try!"

"But let's make this clear first, I'm just giving it a try, I can't guarantee what ranking I'll achieve!"

Tan Chengjia nodded quickly and said, "Of course, of course, safety comes first!"

When Yang Tai heard that Xiao Shan was going to replace Zhang He in the No-Limit Fighting Tournament, he was full of curiosity, while Zhang He was full of embarrassment.

The following morning, Tan Chengjia took Xiao Shan and Yang Tai to register.

After registering, Tan Chengjia said to Xiao Shan and Yang Tai, "Let's go back and rest. Tomorrow is the preliminary round! I have other things to do tomorrow, so I won't be going to the competition venue with you!"

May you achieve a resounding victory!

Xiao Shan looked at Tan Chengjia and said with a smile, "Brother Tan, I wish you all the best!"

On the day of the preliminary round, Tan Chengjia left the hotel early in the morning.

Xiao Shan then led his group to a place for breakfast before taking a car to the arena for the No Limits Fighting Tournament.

Sitting in the car, Xiaoshan enjoyed the view of Hong Kong in 1971 along the way.

At this time, there were already many taxis available in Hong Kong, but rickshaws had not yet disappeared from the historical stage.

So along the way, Xiaoshan saw quite a few rickshaws.
