Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

At the other end of the city, in the middle of a somewhat quiet boxing gym, two women and one man were hanging. The two women on the left had pretty faces and were safe and sound;

The man on the right had a head swollen like a steamed bun, a bruised nose and face, and his left leg joints were weirdly bent, obviously someone had broken his bones maliciously.

In a seaside villa in Oura District, "Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" a series of rapid and violent knocks on the door suddenly rang out, breaking the peace of a middle-aged man who was quietly watching the news in the house.

Fourth Uncle quickly stood up and opened the door himself, only to see that standing outside was his sponsor, Lian Haolong, who was also a well-known figure in the underworld.

Lian Haolong's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. Following closely behind him were A Wu and Luo Tianhong, whose expressions were equally solemn.

Upon seeing this, Fourth Uncle guessed what was going on and quickly welcomed the three people into the study and poured them steaming hot tea, trying to use this warmth to ease their inner anxiety.

After the three of them sat down, he asked softly, "Haolong, you look like this, is there something wrong?"

Lian Haolong took the teacup but did not drink it. He just put it on the table. Then he took out the note that made him angry from his pocket and slowly handed it to his fourth uncle.

His voice was low and hoarse, as if every word carried a heavy burden:

"Uncle Four, my wife Susu, my brother Adong, and my mistress Li Xiaofang have all been kidnapped by unknown people."

"The other party left me this note and asked me to guess his identity. But my mind is completely blank now. I can't find any clues or any ideas."

"So, I can only come to you, Fourth Uncle, and hope that you can use your connections in the white world to help me find the other group and rescue my family."

At the end, Lian Haolong's voice already had a hint of pleading.

Fourth Uncle took the note from Lian Haolong and read it carefully from beginning to end. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable solemnity and deep thought.

He slowly put down the note, and after a moment of silence, he dialed the phone numbers of several influential people in the white world in front of Lian Haolong.

"Hello, is this Lao Li? I'm your fourth uncle, and I'd like to ask you for help with something urgent..." Your fourth uncle's voice was steady and powerful, but it was not difficult to hear the urgency in it.

He briefly explained the situation and asked the other party to mobilize resources to help find the whereabouts of Lian Haolong's family.

After hanging up the phone, my uncle quickly dialed two other numbers and asked for help in the same sincere and firm manner.

After finishing all the calls, he sat back on the sofa, his eyes fell on Lian Haolong again, and he said in a firm tone:

“Hao Long, I have contacted several of my old friends in the White Road. They will do their best to help find the whereabouts of your family.”

Lian Haolong's frown relaxed slightly when he heard this, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He stood up and bowed deeply to his fourth uncle: "Fourth uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Seeing this, Fourth Uncle quickly waved his hand to stop him, with a sincere and heroic smile on his face, "Haolong, do you and I still need these empty formalities?"

"Not to mention my status as the financial backer of the Loyalty and Faith Society, based on our friendship of going through thick and thin together over the years, I will certainly not stand idly by when it comes to your affairs."

Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the curtains and fell on the floor of the second-floor bedroom, my fourth uncle got up from bed early.

He was wearing neat pajamas and, under Lian Haolong's anxious gaze, he re-dialed the phone numbers of his friends from last night.

However, the answer he got was "calm", which made Fourth Uncle's heart ripple. This meant that his old friends had not found any useful clues or movements yet.

Fourth Uncle frowned slightly, a trace of solemnity flashed across his face. He did not doubt the loyalty and ability of these friends, but he was well aware of the difficulty of this incident.

You have to know that the friends he contacted all came from the era of the "money empire" that was once so powerful.

They have deep connections and resources in both the white and black worlds. But even so, they still couldn't find any trace of Lian Haolong's family.

Looking at Lian Haolong's anxious and uneasy face, the fourth uncle gently patted his shoulder and comforted him in a calm and powerful tone:

"Haolong, the opponent's methods are not only professional and sophisticated, but also decisive and resolute. It is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do."

"You can actually think about it carefully. Look at whose relatives you have kidnapped recently."

"From the few words left on the note, it is not difficult to infer that this was a long-planned act of revenge."

Fourth Uncle's words were like a stream of clear spring, slowly flowing into Lian Haolong's troubled heart.

Lian Haolong took a deep breath, as if to expel all the annoyance and panic in his chest. He forced himself to calm down and let his heart regain a moment of peace.

Then, he turned his gaze to the note again, examining it word by word over and over again. Every word seemed to stir up ripples in his mind, making his thoughts spin rapidly.

Five minutes passed in silence. Lian Haolong finally placed the note gently on the table, turned his eyes to his fourth uncle, shook his head slowly, and said firmly:

"Uncle, I am very sure that I have not kidnapped anyone's relatives or friends in recent times."

When hearing what Li Haolong said, Fourth Uncle's brows were furrowed as if he could hold a coin. He was obviously not satisfied with Lian Haolong's answer.

After a moment of silence, he spoke again, his voice low and powerful: "So, is there any kidnapping plan that you have considered but have not yet put into action, or later abandoned?"

Lian Haolong fell into deeper contemplation after hearing this. He closed his eyes and tried to search for every detail in his mind, not missing any possible clues.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the only sounds in the room were the two of them breathing and the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window.

A few minutes later, Lian Haolong suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of sudden enlightenment flashed in his eyes, as if he had finally found the answer to the question.

He spoke slowly, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice, but more of determination:

"Uncle Four, I remember that half a month ago, I did have the idea of ​​targeting someone's family, but later because of problems with my partner, I completely gave up the plan."

Fourth Uncle frowned even more tightly. He keenly grasped the key point: "Your partner, could it be that your target killed him? Who is he?"

Lian Haolong was silent for a while, as if he was weighing the weight of every word, and finally responded softly: "The opponent is He Liansheng's red stick, Feng Xu."

Fourth Uncle's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle, as if they could penetrate all the fog:

"Feng Xu? The Liu Xu who not only turned Yau Ma Tei into a peaceful place, but also took over Wang Bao's territory without bloodshed?"

Lian Haolong nodded, and his uncle's voice became heavy:

"If it's him, this revenge is justified. Feng Xu is not only cruel and ruthless, but also does things in an unconventional way."

Worried that Lian Haolong would act on impulse and blindly look for Liu Xu, the fourth uncle paused and said earnestly: "You must stay calm when it comes to Feng Xu."

"He is not as simple as he seems. If you act rashly, you may not only fail to save Adong and the others, but also get yourself into greater trouble."
