Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Liu Xu frowned slightly, and when his eyes met the person in the alley who turned out to be Guan Hai, he immediately guessed that the other party might have seen through his disguise.

"How did you recognize me?"

In order to conceal his identity, he not only wore a mask but also wore gloves, intending to prevent the other party from discovering his age through clues from the skin of his hands.

Guan Hai shook his head leisurely, a faint smile on his face, "Although you are wearing a mask and a hood, your cape has no zipper."

"The youthful aura emanating from your neck reveals the fact that you are young."

"And I have gradually faded out of the public eye since five years ago. In these years, I have met and interacted with very few young faces."

"And you happen to be the most dazzling one among these few people. That's why I chose this location and used the gunshots as a test."

Liu Xu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with a hint of inquiry: "That means, Uncle Hai, you are still not sure that the person is me?"

Guan Hai nodded slightly and admitted to Liu Xu that he really couldn't be 100% sure that the figure that day was Liu Xu.

"I am only trying this out with a glimmer of hope. If you still don't show up after I fire the third shot, I will bid farewell to Hong Kong Island completely."

"As for the arms business, I have decided to give it up because there is no suitable successor."

Liu Xu clapped his hands, a look of approval on his face: "As expected, the older you are, the wiser you are. You were really smart and successfully lured me out."

Guan Hai waved his hand, "You don't need to flatter me, A Xu. After all, your appearance was your own choice, not something I led you out to."

"After all, with your ability, I believe you recognized me before I recognized you. If you don't want to show up, you are fully capable of leaving quietly in that situation."

Liu Xu let out a long sigh, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Uncle Hai, if you want to say that I can't keep my temper, just say it bluntly."

"I am no longer the young man who just started out and knew nothing about the world."

"The years have taught me to be calm. I won't get angry easily because of the corrections from my elders, and I won't blindly let my emotions influence my judgment." There was a firmness in his words.

Liu Xu looked at Uncle Hai meaningfully, his eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts:

"Look at the exhaustion and confusion in your eyes. I guess you have already told Alang about his true identity, right?"

Uncle Hai nodded slightly, with a hint of indescribable melancholy in his voice:

"That is why I came here tonight. I am eager to know not only how you know this secret, but also what card you are holding in your hand."

Liu Xu's lips curled up into a relaxed smile, and his tone was somewhat confident and calm:

"This is actually a question, and the moment you saw me, the answer had already quietly taken root in your heart, wasn't it?"

The archival information about his undercover identity and the insider Zhou Xiang had long been dealt with by him without a trace, so he no longer needed to worry about it.

Moreover, he is now the only person in charge of the four top clubs in Hong Kong Island, together with Lian Sheng in Yau Ma Tei, and is no longer the old idiot. Different status means different treatment.

Even if Uncle Hai really knew his undercover identity and publicized it in public, Liu Xu didn't have to worry about whether this would bring him a catastrophic disaster.

Because no one will believe it without providing detailed archival information.

After all, he is not only the underground king of Yau Ma Tei, but also the Red Stick of He Liansheng's gang, and a gang boss who controls 3,000 younger brothers.

If there is no solid evidence to spread rumors about a gangster, he doesn't even need to take action personally. Just to protect the reputation of the society, He Liansheng will deal with the other party at all costs.

Guan Hai looked at Liu Xu's confident look, and a trace of loneliness and emotion flashed in his eyes:

"A Xu, you have really changed a lot, which makes me feel so much."

"Compared to the ignorant and immature you of the past, you have not only made significant progress in your growth, but also demonstrated excellence and courage that surpasses Aliang in your transformation."

"While hiding in Siam, I was waiting for Alang to confess to me while carefully observing his expression."

"His face was often filled with panic, guilt and pain. It was the inner struggle and contradiction that was constantly impacting his soul."

"However, unfortunately, I have never seen in his eyes a trace of the fierceness and decisiveness that a true hero should have."

When Liu Xu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, "That's because Johnny Wang has just started to rise, and his connections and strength have not yet grown to the point where he can be compared with you."

"If you had waited two years, and if you had held out for two more minutes after being shot, you would have witnessed with your own eyes the scene where Alang shot all of your men with a semi-automatic rifle."

This thought flashed through Liu Xu's mind and was then buried deep in his heart.

After all, he has changed Guan Hai's fate, and the tragic ending of being "solved" by Alang naturally no longer exists.

He tightened the Type 92 pistol in his hand and stared into Guan Hai's eyes with a sharp gaze:

"So, Uncle Hai, have you really made up your mind to bid farewell to the arms business and live out your old age in peace in the mainland?"

Although Liu Xu was not worried that Guan Hai would cheat him secretly, he would never be stupid enough to leave any potential threats to himself.

If Guan Hai suddenly changes his mind and gives up his decision to retire in the mainland, Liu Xu will pull the trigger without hesitation and end it all.

Liu Xu would not let his emotions influence his judgment. He has already repaid Guan Hai's kindness with actions.

In this scene, the two of them have nothing else to do except being Jianghu people. Therefore, now is the stage of discussing the matter.

Guan Hai was obviously unaware of this answer that could determine his life. After he let out a long breath, a look of relief appeared on his face:

"Yes, Ah Hua and his men are too straightforward. If we leave the complicated arms business to them..."

"Neither Johnny Wang, who was beginning to gain fame in Hong Kong Island, nor the military of the United States were people they could handle."

"Of course, if you are willing to get involved in this field, I am willing to hand over the channels and connections I have accumulated over the years to you without reservation."

There was a hint of eager anticipation in Guan Hai's words. He looked particularly nervous, and he was concentrating on waiting for Liu Xu's response.

Liu Xu said softly, "Uncle Hai, I'm not very interested in the arms business at the moment. After all, I haven't finished my work in Yau Tsim Mong District."

Upon hearing this, Guan Hai stared at Liu Xu deeply for a moment, with admiration and a hint of imperceptible loss in his eyes.

He waved his hand in a disinterested manner: "Well, I will settle down in Huangpu District of Shanghai, in the mainland. If you are interested in the arms business in the future, you may come to me."

After saying that, Guan Hai gently patted Liu Xu's shoulder in a gesture that contained both encouragement and a bit of loneliness.

He turned slowly and gradually disappeared around the corner of the alley, leaving behind a meaningful back view.
