Chapter 139 Big Black Star

"Why didn't you answer my call?"

Xu Jiaqiang did not rest the whole night. After receiving Zhai Yuan's call, he could not contact Xu Jiasheng.

So as soon as the sun rose, he rushed to the Peninsula Hotel where his younger brother Xu Jiasheng was resting.

I happened to meet the other party having dinner downstairs.

"The phone is dead."

Xu Jiasheng looked up at his tenth brother, who seemed not surprised at all by his arrival.

He asked him to sit opposite him and asked the waiter to add another breakfast.

He continued to look down at the newspaper on the table and said, "I just tried it. The coffee here is very good. I'll order one for you to try."

Xu Jiaqiang didn't waste time talking to him and asked directly, "Where did Xie Hushan go?"

Xu Jiasheng did not hide it: "Let him take care of some small matters."

"What's the small matter?" Xu Jiaqiang asked without hesitation, "Putting a dead dog in Zhai Yuan's car to scare him? Do you know that we are still on the list? Are you stupid enough to play the big brother in Taiwan?"

He lowered his voice in anger, and at the end, he couldn't help but push Xu Jiasheng on the head.

"Putting a dead dog on the table? Why is Ah Shan doing this so crudely?"

Xu Jiasheng seemed to have only heard the first sentence. He adjusted his glasses indifferently and muttered to himself.

He looked up at Xu Jiaqiang's unhappy face and smiled helplessly: "Tenth brother, it's none of my business. It was my eldest brother who forced me to do this."

"If you say so, then so be it!"

Xu Jiaqiang frowned, obviously not believing what he said: "Xinji has never participated in the production of movies. Big brother doesn't even know who Zhai Yuan is. How could he let you touch him?"

"In fact, we don't have to touch Zhai Yuan. We can touch any film company."

Xu Jiasheng motioned for Brother Shi to calm down and sit down first, then he explained slowly: "But other film companies are more or less linked to the big cinema chains, so it's more troublesome to move. Only his 91 Entertainment has no background or backing, so he became a victim."

"Sacrifice?" Xu Jiaqiang repeated these three words in confusion.

"Like your other brothers and sisters, you don't understand the family business, and therefore you don't understand the problems Xin Ji is facing now."

Xu Jiasheng took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows.

There are thirteen brothers and sisters in the Xu family, but not all of them participate in the family club.

For example, Xiangjiang Xinji is led by the eldest brother Xu Jiayan, assisted by the fourth brother Xu Jiabo. These two are the eldest sons of the first and second wives respectively.

In Taiwan, Xu Jiasheng, the second son of the second wife, joins forces with the 500 million dollar inspector Lei Lao Hu and a group of officers and criminals who escaped from Hong Kong to survive in the cracks of local gangs.

Most of the other brothers and sisters rely on the support of Xinji to develop their own careers and rarely participate in gang affairs.

As for Xu Jiaqiang, he was born to a concubine and had the lowest status in the family. If Xu Jiasheng had not established Yongsheng Film Company in Taiwan and made him the leading actor, he would have had to play supporting roles for a few more years.

"In Hong Kong, the society has grown in recent years, and people are not united. This time our influence in Formosa has been eradicated, and the elders of the society have become more concerned."

Xu Jiasheng slowly explained, "So, my eldest brother asked me to take advantage of this trip to Hong Kong to spread the word that I want to take over his position as the leader. I want to see how many rebellious old guys will jump out. This time, I want to clean them up once and for all and consolidate the Xu family's position in Xinji."

"Aren't there two uncles from the Lin family?" Xu Jiaqiang's eyes were hesitant, no longer as firm as before.

"They are old, how many more years can they last? So my eldest brother and I arranged for them to leave Hong Kong for a while."

Xu Jiasheng stretched his neck and said, "I moved against Zhai Yuan just to show the outside world. On the surface, I still want to run my Yongsheng Film Company's business in Hong Kong, so that those traitors will think that the two uncles of the Lin family trust me very much, so they will take the initiative to leave Hong Kong to avoid the limelight. Now you know why I say Zhai Yuan is a sacrifice?"

He went on to say, "Actually, the victim could have been anyone, but it just so happened that he and I were both in the film business, and since we had no background, the rumors were the most convincing. So, we can only blame him for his bad luck."

Xu Jiaqiang rubbed his face, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

After thinking about it, he didn't say anything more to Xu Jiasheng, but took out his phone and called his eldest brother Xu Jiayan.

Two minutes later, Xu Jiaqiang helplessly threw the phone on the table.

Because what Xu Jiayan had just said to him on the phone was exactly the same as what Xu Jiasheng had said.

He could argue with Xu Jiasheng because the two grew up together in Taiwan and had a deep relationship, but he did not dare to talk back to Xu Jiayan, a brother who was a dozen years older than him.

"Don't worry, Brother Ten, you just want to use Zhai Yuan to attract Baodao's firepower so that we can continue our film business."

Seeing that his tenth brother had fallen silent, Xu Jiasheng knocked on the table to attract his attention: "Although we are not born of the same mother, when I was sick, you donated your bone marrow to me. At that time, I treated you as my own brother."

Hearing him mention an event in the past, Xu Jiaqiang also showed a look of nostalgia, grinned, and waved his hand disapprovingly.

He smiled and continued, "If Zhai Yuan is sensible, I only want half of his shares in Jiuyi Entertainment. After this is over, I will transfer all of it to you. Then I will set up another Yongsheng Film Company in Hong Kong and continue to let my sister-in-law help manage it. As for how to compete in the Formosa Market, that's up to you two."

…………

"It's easy for him to say that. Is Zhai Yuan willing to give up half of his shares so easily?"

Xu Jiayan prepared accommodation for the two brothers from Taiwan, but it has not been cleaned up yet, so Xu Jiaqiang can only stay in a hotel room temporarily.

When Mrs. Xu relayed what Xu Jiasheng had said to her to his wife Chen Lan, she immediately frowned.

"The guy next to Ah Sheng, Xie Hushan, specialized in this kind of thing when he was in Formosa. It shouldn't be a problem for him to control a teenager."

Xu Jiaqiang was lying on the bed, sounding a little tired.

I took a bumpy boat ride all the way to Hong Kong and hurriedly attended the Academy Awards. I hadn't rested for long last night when I was woken up by a phone call from Zhai Yuan. I didn't lie down again until now.

He couldn't help but begin to admire Xu Jiasheng. This younger brother seemed to have endless energy.

Is it because you’re not married yet?

Chen Lan didn’t know what the Xu family was thinking, but her woman’s sixth sense told her that things were not that simple.

She asked Xu Jiaqiang: "Do you have 10 million Hong Kong dollars in your entire family assets now?"

"You're crazy! Don't you know how much money I have? Even when I was at my peak in Taiwan, I only earned over a hundred thousand yuan in film pay."

"But although Zhai Yuan is only in his teens, he has at least tens of millions of dollars in assets. Do you treat him as a kid?"

Such a simple and direct contrast made Xu Jiaqiang silent.

After hesitating for a moment, he added: "I don't participate much in the club's affairs, but since Ah Sheng said he can handle it, it should be no problem."

"Forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly."

Chen Lan felt that Xu Jiaqiang had practiced martial arts for too long and his muscles had become part of his brain.

He had just fled to Hong Kong from Taiwan, and before he could even enjoy a day of peace, he started causing trouble again.

Who knows when the Yiqing project will end? If it lasts for ten or eight years, and she commits some crime here and is deported, she and Xu Jiaqiang will have no place to stay in both Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Why do you, a concubine's son, have to meddle in the affairs of the first and second wives?
"I'm going out to relax!"

Chen Lan said something a little irritably, said hello to Xu Jiaqiang, and walked out of the room with her bag.

As soon as she went out, she immediately took out her brother's phone and dialed Zhai Yuan's number.

"Boss Zhai, I'm Chen Lan. We met at the Academy Awards venue last night..."

Chen Lan quickly recounted what had happened. Regardless of whether Xu Jiasheng could intimidate the other party or not, she had to leave a way out for herself and Xu Jiaqiang first.

On the other end of the phone, Zhai Yuan listened quietly to Chen Lan's account of the whole story.

"Xie Hushan, is he the one who followed Xu Jiasheng last night?"

"That's right, Boss Zhai. Aqiang and I were completely unaware of this beforehand. We informed you immediately after receiving the news. As far as I know, Xie Hushan was carrying a gun, which is very dangerous..."

"Oh, he did bring the short dog up."

Zhai Yuan's voice rang out from the phone again, mixed with the tapping sounds of bullet parts being fiddled with.

In the midst of Chen Lan's stunned expression, his smiling voice came out of the receiver: "Semi-automatic Big Black Star, eight rounds. Now I have detained both the man and the gun in the company, the police will come to arrest him soon, please tell Xu Jiasheng that Hong Kong abides by the law, he'd better pray that this Shan brother won't reveal his involvement in hiring a killer, otherwise he'll have to clean up his mess and wait for jail time."

Chen Lan listened to Zhai Yuan's calm voice on the phone and couldn't help feeling a little numb in her hands and feet.

What happened? Xie Hushan, the gold medal fighter praised by the Xu brothers, was arrested just like that? From beginning to end, he only contributed a dead dog?
…………

Two hours ago.

Ngau Tau Kok, 91 Entertainment Company.

"Listen carefully, for the next period of time, you two must protect me at all costs."

Zhai Yuan set up a hot pot in the office, with a few dishes of vegetable and meat on the side. The Doberman from last night was stewed in the pot, with a lot of star anise and the aroma was everywhere.

Sitting at the same table with him were two powerful generals, Shangguan Yonggan and Weixing.

"You're not the captain, why should I protect you at all costs?"

Shangguan Yonggan was gnawing on a dog leg, speaking cold words from his mouth at a temperature of 37 degrees.

Zhai Yuan thought to himself, if I hadn't spent money to hire people every month to go to your martial arts gym and play the master-disciple game with you, you, a big fool, would have starved to death in Hong Kong long ago. How dare you ask me why?

"Why! You actually ask me why?"

Without telling anyone about the money he had hired, Zhai Yuan excitedly lifted his shirt, revealing a faint scar on his back. "Last time I asked you to protect me, you almost got me hacked to death. Shouldn't you make amends this time?!"

Weixing laughed and chimed in, "Brother Yonggan, Zhai Yuan had someone send 10,000 yuan to each of our families during last year's Spring Festival. This year, he even helped us get ID cards and home-visit permits. He's a good guy." "Are you happy to give you a little profit? Be careful of the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism."

Shangguan Yonggan glanced at the satellite, then looked at Zhai Yuan, and said with an unhappy expression: "Why do you always offend people every day?"

"I feel like I'm pretty damn low-key!"

Zhai Yuan cursed in annoyance. He was still not sure which god was trying to mess with him.

But in order not to alert the enemy, he did not let anyone spread the news, so except for a few people who were present last night, the matter has not spread widely. Not only Peng Jiayan, but even Di Long who was asleep at the time did not know that anything had happened in the company.

Jingle Bell--

The office's intercom phone rang.

"Brother Yuan, there is a Mr. Xie who wants to see you."

The voice of the receptionist Axia came.

Zhai Yuan asked curiously: "What's your surname? What's your name?"

After a few seconds, Axia said, "Xie Hushan, he said he met you last night."

Zhai Yuan then remembered that there was a tall and big thug with this name following the Xu brothers last night.

That's right, first send the dead dog to scare, and then come to negotiate terms.

Xu Jiaqiang is still pretending to be ignorant in front of me?
"Got it, let him come up."

Zhai Yuan hung up the phone, tapped the edge of the pot with chopsticks, and said to Shangguan Yonggan and Weixing: "The people who are going to deliver dog meat to us are here. Please protect me. I won't move unless the enemy moves. If the enemy moves, I will kill him. Do you understand?"

Wei Xing nodded solemnly, put down his chopsticks, and moved his chair back a little.

"How many people are there?"

Shangguan Yonggan still looked nonchalant.

"Probably just one."

Zhai Yuan stretched his neck to look outside and saw Xie Hushan walking up the stairs.

He had a slicked-back hair, a black suit, and a small suitcase in his hand, looking very stylish.

"Then what are you afraid of? Isn't it the same as giving it away for free?"

Shangguan Yonggan didn't even raise his head. He grabbed a plate of chopped beef and poured it into the pot, his eyes fixed on the boiling soup pot.

Until Xie Hushan walked into the office with his head held high.

"Boss Zhai, we meet again."

After seeing the environment in the room clearly, Xie Hushan was stunned.

You're having hotpot in the office. You look very generous. Didn't you receive the gift I sent you?
"Thank you, brother, for coming."

Zhai Yuan spoke to the other party in Mandarin and greeted him earnestly, "I don't know who got a dead dog last night and put it in the car of my company's director. It's a good time to have dog meat hotpot today. Come on, come on, sit down and join us."

Xie Hushan's expression froze and he glanced around.

Zhai Yuan smiled warmly. There were two people beside him. A man of medium build was staring at him unkindly, and the other tall guy was stirring in the pot with chopsticks.

Xie Hushan calmly touched the big black star on his waist and his expression returned to normal.

"I was the one who gave the dead dog away."

"Tsk! You're being so formal, aren't you? You just came and brought a gift."

"..." Xie Hushan was choked again, and said directly: "Boss Zhai, my boss Xu Jiasheng is very interested in your Jiuyi Entertainment. He wants to buy half of your company's shares."

"Okay, I just want to sell some shares for cash."

Zhai Yuan seemed very interested and nodded, saying, "Two hundred million, two hundred million Hong Kong dollars. I'll ask a lawyer to draw up a contract right away."

Xie Hushan was now certain that the other party was indeed playing tricks on him.

"Fuck! Fuck Lin's mother."

He cursed with a sneer, his face darkening.

He waved his hand to sweep the cups and plates off the table, and slammed the small suitcase in his hand onto the table.

In the suitcase was one million Hong Kong dollars in cash and a purchase contract.

What Xie Hushan had to do next was to take out the contract and force Zhai Yuan to sign it at gunpoint.

But he had just made a gesture to throw the suitcase when the face of Satellite beside him suddenly changed.

Wei Xing jumped up, picked up the chair next to him, and smashed it on Xie Hushan's head.

"Brother Brave, the enemy is moving, kill him!"

With a whoosh, the iron-legged dining chair fell down with the sound of wind!

Xie Hushan obviously did not expect this sudden change. He subconsciously used his hand to block it, while his other hand reached for the big black star on his waist.

Click!

Sawdust flying!

The arm that Xie Hushan had raised to block his head was broken by the iron-legged dining chair, and his arm was twisted into a strange arc.

"Fuck you!"

Xie Hushan growled in pain, pulled out his short dog, and stared fiercely at the satellite in front of him who did not abide by the rules of the underworld.

The next second, a shrill scream came out of Xie Hushan's throat.

He held the gun with one hand, touched the safety and was about to load the gun, his attention completely focused on the satellite.

Shangguan Yonggan had already dropped his chopsticks without realizing it, and was looking at the cups and plates that he had swept to the ground, muttering curses.

"Damn you, auntie! How much food has been wasted."

As he spoke, Shangguan bravely lifted the entire soup pot from the fire.

He turned around and walked behind the unsuspecting Xie Hushan, and poured the boiling hot pot over his head.

It was visible to the naked eye that Xie Hushan's head and face were burned and the skin was torn.

He fell to the ground with his eyes covered, screams coming out of his throat, and he struggled desperately on the ground like a live fish that had been brought ashore.

Big Black Star fell to the ground without firing a shot and was kicked into the corner by Satellite.

"Too cruel."

Zhai Yuan looked at Xie Hushan, who was wallowing in the soup, with disgust on his face, and said to Wei Xing, "Quickly shut his mouth. I'm a kind person and I can't stand this."

A tablecloth was quickly stuffed into Xie Hushan's mouth, and the screams stopped abruptly, leaving only silent struggle.

Zhai Yuan picked up the suitcase on the table and walked behind the desk.

I opened the box and took a look, and found stacks of Hong Kong dollars and a purchase contract stuffed inside.

Zhai Yuan didn't even look at the contract, he threw it into the fire and burned it, then stuffed the cash box into the desk cabinet.

Dial the phone on the desk.

"Hello, is this San Tiao Jiu? I want to report a crime. The address is Ngau Tau Kok Nine One Entertainment Company. Someone came in with a gun to rob us. My employees and I are scared. Please come quickly."

…………

When the police came upstairs, Xie Hushan had fainted from the pain and was thrown into a corner with his hands tied behind his back.

At first glance, his entire face and neck were covered with blood blisters, and most of his scalp had been burned off, so his original appearance could no longer be seen.

"Pick your mother..."

The sergeant in charge frowned and said, "Quickly call a white car to take the victim to the hospital."

Zhai Yuan stepped forward to explain and finally convinced the group of soldiers that Xie Hushan lying on the ground was the robber.

"This is a short dog seized from him."

When Zhai Yuan handed over the big black star, he could clearly feel that Sergeant Zhan's eyes lit up.

An armed robbery was solved, and a promotion and salary increase are just around the corner!

"Boss Zhai, please come back to the police station with me and give a statement."

"Okay!"

Zhai Yuan did not hesitate, and took Shangguan Yonggan and Weixing with him and walked out with the police.

Xie Hushan was so badly injured that he had to be helped down the stairs by two soldiers in uniform.
