Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

In a small fishing village in the northern inland area, in a slightly shabby mud house, the dim candlelight flickered, illuminating an old woman with a wrinkled face and eyes full of anxiety and worry.

Sitting in front of her was a lazy young man named Gou'er, who was listlessly fiddling with a straw in his hand.

The old woman said in a trembling voice: "Dog, your father...he hasn't come home for several days. I'm always worried, worried that he has had an accident."

Gou'er raised his head, a trace of confusion and indifference flashed in his eyes, and his tone was full of impatience: "You know what Dad does, maybe he is having a good time in Hong Kong Island right now."

As he spoke, he glanced at his mother's anxious face, coughed lightly, and said again: "Mom, Dad might have gone fishing at sea. Don't worry too much, maybe he will be back tomorrow."

The old woman sighed, tears glistening in her eyes: "But your father has never been away from home for such a long time before. The sea is rough and I am really worried."

"Gou'er, go to the village tomorrow morning and ask your uncles to see if you can get any information about your father from them."

Although the dog was reluctant, he nodded when he saw his mother's worried look: "Okay, okay, I'll go look for it tomorrow. I'll go to sleep first."

As he spoke, the dog spat out the straw in his mouth onto the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and fell asleep. After a while, he could hear bursts of snoring.

Hong Kong Island, this bustling city forms a sharp contrast with the scattered lights of the northern fishing villages.

As the night deepens, bright neon lights dot the sky above Hong Kong Island like stars, interweaving into a splendid and colorful picture.

In the central hall of Hongtai, Chen Mei sat at the first seat, looking around at everyone at the table with sharp eyes.

Although today's meeting was not the society's regular monthly meeting, all the elders of the uncle's generation, as well as the core members such as the hall master and the red sticks were present, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Chen Mei took a sip of the fragrant tea in front of her, cleared her throat, and spoke slowly:

"Today's meeting is mainly to inform everyone of an important matter: after the efforts of the prince, we have found the real culprit behind the investigation of the suburban 'flour mill'."

As Chen Mei finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly, and everyone turned their eyes filled with surprise and suspicion to Chen Yaotai, who was sitting on the left side of the first seat.

Chen Yaotai, as the son of Hongtai leader Chen Mei, although he is famous in the society, that is because he often stirs up trouble in his territory. His reputation in the underworld is mediocre.

Therefore, when he was pointed out as the "contributor" to finding the real culprit behind the crime, people couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Could it be that Uncle Mei was watching the sun rise through a mirror today? ? This was the question in everyone's mind.

Chen Yaotai felt everyone's gazes, sat up straighter, coughed lightly, and said with a hint of pride and satisfaction in his voice: "Don't look at me like that, I'm just doing my best for the society."

Apparently, the prince did not see any suspicion in the eyes of the crowd, but instead saw shock and admiration.

As the prince finished speaking, Ah Quan, who was sitting in the back seat, couldn't help but curl his lips and turned his gaze to the fat uncle on the right side of the first seat.

He saw clearly that, apart from the prince, Fatty was the only one who remained calm after Chen Mei finished speaking. He suspected that this was a meeting that had been agreed upon under the table.

When this thought solidified in Ah Quan's mind, Uncle Fatty suddenly slammed the table, his eyes filled with anger: "Who is so bold? How dare you plot against our Hongtai! You are so bold!"

Following Uncle Fat's roar, Uncle Ma who was sitting next to him and the Little Overlord who was sitting at the end of the seat also slammed the table in indignation, and all kinds of traditional Chinese culture could be heard.

Seeing that everyone's emotions were successfully mobilized, Chen Mei's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile. He stretched his hand downward and made a quiet gesture, successfully restoring calm to the conference room.

Chen Mei's eyes once again swept over the respectful expressions on everyone's faces, and he was very satisfied. This meant that his prestige in the society was still strong.

He continued, "The mastermind behind this incident is Feng Xu from He Liansheng."

"This guy wants to monopolize the pirated disc market in Hong Kong Island. He not only arranged for his subordinate He Yu to eliminate all manufacturers in Hong Kong Island, but also targeted our Hongtai's 'flour processing factory'."

Listening to Uncle Mei's words, unlike Uncle Ma and Little Overlord's suspicious expressions, Ah Quan instantly thought of He Yu, who had not shown up for several days in the territory opposite him.

He asked tentatively: "Uncle Mei, how did the prince know about this? In addition, I also want to know, do we have any substantial evidence? After all, Feng Xu's influence in Yau Tsim Mong is not small."

Hearing Ah Quan's question, Uncle Ma and Little Overlord nodded to Chen Mei without saying anything. This was what they wanted to know. If there was no great benefit, they did not want to conflict with Feng Xu.

Since this matter still required the support of the three of them, Chen Mei did not play dumb and said bluntly:

"This matter was investigated by the prince's younger brother Api. For this purpose, the prince specially kidnapped He Yu and got confirmation from him that this matter was indeed related to Feng Xu."

A Quan's eyes gleamed when he heard this. As a neighbor whose territory was right next to He Yu's, he knew He Yu's ability very well.

Although he might be good at fighting and killing or managing territory, he didn't believe that He Yu had the means to arrange for people to find Hongtai's "flour processing factory".

As for Liu Xu, although he had the ability, he had never asked about this matter since he handed over the task of eliminating pirated disc manufacturers to He Yu. He also did not believe that Liu Xu did it.

The reason why Ah Quan knew that Liu Xu had not asked about it was because he had paid someone to buy the information from He Yu's confidant Li Haiming. For this, he spent a full 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Therefore, he concluded that Chen Mei was lying. He could also guess the purpose of the lie, which was nothing more than to use this name to blackmail Liu Xu to make up for the losses of the "flour processing plant".

Ah Quan had never thought that he, who was still worrying about how to get the "letter of surrender" a few days ago, would have this opportunity come to him today. He couldn't help but feel excited.

Chen Mei saw the hesitant looks of Little Overlord and Uncle Ma, as well as the silent Ah Quan, and added: "Although the prince kidnapped He Yu, he did not hurt him."

"Therefore, Feng Xu will not break up with us because of this. In addition, I have also reached an agreement with Lian Sheng's uncle, Chuanbao, and he will help us to ask Feng Xu to pay 10 million in compensation. Even if..."

Having said that, Chen Mei deliberately paused and glanced at the crowd, as if observing their reactions.

Then, he continued, "Even if things turn out to be unexpected, with the energy of Chuanbao Zai and Liansheng, plus the strength and means of our Hongtai, we are fully capable of dealing with it."

"The main church will take half of the money obtained, and the rest will be distributed to your branches."

Upon hearing that there was money to be made, both Little Overlord and Uncle Ma's eyes lit up. They patted their chests and expressed their full support for Uncle Mei's actions. They also praised the prince for being reliable.
