Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

When Guilipang heard Liu Xu's question, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, with fear, unwillingness and resentment intertwined. He knew that his answer might be related to life and death.

Sweat slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the cold ground, making a slight sound that was particularly harsh in the quiet parking lot.

He swallowed hard, trying to make his voice sound sincere and firm: "Brother Xu, I was blind today, so I did something stupid."

"As for what happened today, it would be a lie if I said I didn't hate you. We are all in the underworld, and the most important thing is face. You made me lose face, so I hate you in my heart."

"As for revenge, Brother Xu, you are known throughout Hong Kong for killing entire families at will, not even sparing children. Who wouldn't be afraid of you? How could I have the guts to do that?"

Liu Xu sneered. What he said not only hinted at his cruelty, but also made him speak out his thoughts in a panic. As long as he was in trouble in the future, the other party would have the courage to do it.

After confirming that the hatred in the other person's eyes was not very strong, he decided to let him go: "Since you are so sensible, then pay the money and get out."

After saying that, he handed the matters here to Chen Dao and turned to leave.

Guili Pang certainly cannot take out 500,000 Hong Kong dollars from him, so he needs to go to the counter to get it or ask his younger brothers in the gang to get the money from the venue.

This round trip would take at least thirty minutes, and he didn't have the time to wait. He simply left the matter to his younger brother Daozi, and went back to the leisure area to make some tea.

During this period, Liu Xu went to Scorpion Tail's office, woke him up from his deep sleep, and called Tian Yangren and Tian Yangli, the leaders of groups A and B of the action team.

Since the members in the open are rewarded, the hardworking members of the intelligence team in the dark should also be rewarded.

Scorpion Tail was rewarded with 5 million Hong Kong dollars, Tian Yangren and Tian Yangli were rewarded with 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and another 2 million Hong Kong dollars was given as bonus to other members of the intelligence team, all in cash.

The compensation from Guili Pang arrived later than Liu Xu expected. It was not until 3:00 in the morning that his younger brother delivered the money.

After receiving the money and confirming that the amount was correct, Chen Dao put on a bright smile, personally sent Guilipang to the car, and watched them disappear into the night.

"Boss, five hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, not a penny less."

Liu Xu glanced at the purse on the table, put it away, and sat quietly waiting for dawn.

This is what he does every day after he cleared the Yau Tsim Mong District. The main purpose is to avoid a large-scale joint invasion by other gangs that his brothers cannot stop.

The Yau Tsim Mong District, especially Tsim Sha Tsui, has so much lucrative benefits that the regulatory fees for one month can equal the total regulatory fees for three months in Yau Ma Tei.

With him around, even if the East Star and Hongxing gangs joined forces to invade Tsim Sha Tsui, he was confident that they could drive them out. As for the younger brothers, they just needed to keep an eye on the scene.

This was also one of the reasons why he had streamlined the staff before. With his current combat capability, he could easily defeat a thousand enemies alone without any renewal.

At TVB Studios, Hua Zi grabbed Liang Zhaowei, with a hint of curiosity on his face: "Ah Wei, you actually know a gang leader who is involved in the underworld. How did you two know each other?"

Seeing a trace of embarrassment on Liang Zhaowei's face, Hua Zi pointed at him and said with a smile: "No way? You didn't get picked on by a gang member like me, and he just happened to help you out, right?"

Faced with his friend's teasing, Liang Zhaowei quickly waved his hand and told him about the time when he and Zhang Manyu went to a nightclub in Yau Ma Tei for entertainment and Zhang Manyu was picked on by someone.

Out of concern, he added in a serious tone after finishing his story: "You must remember to keep your distance from each other. We are white and he is black. If you get involved, you can't get rid of it."

So, he told Hua Zai what he learned by chance about the final outcome of the middle-aged man who caused trouble in the nightclub.

Seeing that Hua Zai still didn't take it seriously, Liang Zhaowei suddenly became anxious and quickly added:

"You must have heard about what happened to Wu Ge in 1980, right? He thought he had found someone who could help him deal with the troubles he encountered while filming."

"What was the result? Not only was he tricked, but he also became addicted to gambling and lost everything he had. Even now, he still can't quit."

Hua Zi understood that his friend was doing this for his own good, and nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will keep my distance from him. Okay, you should go to the theater, or your salary will be deducted if you are late."

Liang Zhaowei heard this, glanced at the time on his watch, and immediately became anxious: "What a pity! I almost got late for talking to you. I'll go to work first, and I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Having said that, he trotted away in a hurry, and Hua Zai shook his head helplessly.

This good friend of his is obviously very introverted, not good at speaking, and even a little socially anxious, afraid of being noticed by the crowd. But he has a great passion for filming.

When a person is studying a script at home, he or she may even forget to eat for several days.

In order to help this good friend, he tried his best and even introduced his friends to him, but unfortunately, the effect was minimal.

Hua Zai then thought about what happened in the early morning. Although Liu Xu helped him solve the loan sharking problem and said that he could ask him for help if he ran into trouble in the underworld again.

To be on the safe side, he decided to go to the general manager's office and inform Fang Tai. As long as money was not involved, Fang Tai would be an extremely reliable leader.

As for the name Fangtai, he came up with it by accident.

It all started when he bumped into Uncle Six and Manager Fang who were inspecting the company without any psychological preparation. He was so nervous that he called Manager Fang "Mrs. Fang".

At that time, Uncle Six remained expressionless, but after Manager Fang stole a glance at Uncle Six, there was a hint of joy on his face, and then he gave him a mild reprimand.

Although it was a reprimand, he, who had been trained as an actor, could see that Mrs. Fang was happy. So, whenever he talked to Manager Fang privately, the way he addressed her naturally became Mrs. Fang.

At the East Star Hall, seeing Chrysanthemum Tiger Guilipang sitting down, Whiteheaded Man took a sip of tea and asked him seriously, "Did you go to Tsim Sha Tsui last night?"

Guilipang heard this and nodded with a puzzled look: "I went to collect the debt, but something unexpected happened in the middle and I ran into Liu Xu who was winning streaks. But we didn't have a conflict."

He didn't like the white-headed old man, and it had nothing to do with emotional issues. The reason was that the other person gave him the feeling of a skeleton covered with a layer of human skin, especially when he smiled, it was fake and hypocritical.

After listening to Guilipang's explanation, Bai Tou Weng's serious expression eased a little, "That's good. Without my order, don't show up in Yau Tsim Mong District in person, and don't clash with Liu Xu's people."

As if he was worried that Guilipang might have wild thoughts, he continued to add: "I not only said this to you, I also said it to the other hall masters of Dongxing."

"As for why this order was issued, you will know later."

Guilipang's eyes narrowed. After waiting for a moment and still hearing no other explanation, he drank the tea in front of him in one gulp, stood up and left.

He suspected that the old man might be planning to take over Yau Tsim Mong, but whether or not it was none of his business.
