Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

A burst of urgent sirens sounded, and the first to arrive were the PTU stormtroopers, which took only two minutes, indicating that the other party was patrolling not far from Kimberly Street at that time.

The next ones came from Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. Zhang Zihao looked at his watch and saw that the time was exactly three minutes.

"It seems that Liu Xu did not lie to him, but we still need to verify whether the address patrolled by the PTU at 3 pm on Tuesday and Friday matches the address on the map." Zhang Zihao said to himself.

As it happened that today was Friday, Zhang Zihao did not call his younger brothers. He went to the pub, ordered two glasses of foreign wine and a cup of coffee, and waited quietly for the time to come.

Fuso, Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters, the fourth generation of the clerk Masahisa looked at the information in his hand, suddenly crumpled it into a ball and threw it at the younger brother in front of him, shouting angrily:

"Baka! Jiang Tiansheng actually dared to disrupt our Yamaguchi-gumi's business in Hong Kong Island. Does he want to start an all-out war with our Yamaguchi-gumi? He is really too outrageous."

Seeing that he got no response, he slapped his younger brother Haoliang Baner in the face and shouted angrily: "Are you f*cking deaf? What are you still standing here for? Go call the other two young masters over."

Haoliang Baner did not dare to hesitate. He bowed and responded loudly, then hurried out of the office.

The figures of Hayashi Motoko and Sawa Malisang soon appeared in front of Stroke Masahisa. He handed the crumpled paper to the two of them and slammed the table in indignation.

"We should mobilize our forces to fight back immediately and teach them a lesson. Otherwise, the Hongxing gang will think that we, the Yamaguchi-gumi, are easy to bully. Yuanzi, Lisan, you must support me!"

Lin Mu Yuanzi showed a hint of hesitation on her face and did not directly respond to the Daimu's words.

After a brief silence, Zemalisang gently reminded, "Deputy, Hongxing was forced to fight back. We were the first to destroy their warehouse. Shouldn't we talk to them first?"

"Talk? How? Hongxing obviously doesn't take us Yamaguchi-gumi seriously. Otherwise, why wouldn't they give us an explanation when we sent them a letter to question them about the reasons for Taro's disappearance?"

"Lisan, have you forgotten the glory of our Yamaguchi-gumi? When will we need to bow to the enemy? Taro's disappearance must be caused by Hongxing. This is a direct provocation to our Yamaguchi-gumi!"

"Deputy, I understand that the honor of the Yamaguchi-gumi cannot be tarnished. I support any decision you make!"

Seeing this, Lin Mu Yuanzi realized that if he continued to dissuade him, it would only increase the young head's dissatisfaction with him, so he sighed slightly and nodded: "I also support your decision, Daime!"

Zhuzhong Zhengjiu showed a satisfied smile: "Yoshi, then we should select a few people from the ninja team to go to Hong Kong Island and kill one of his hall masters, so as to teach Jiang Tiansheng a memorable lesson."

Upon hearing this, Hayashi Motoko and Maze Li-san lowered their heads in unison and responded loudly, “Hi!”

--------------------

At the Central Police Station on Hong Kong Island, the Chief of Intelligence Department of the Special Branch, Edward Paulen, sat behind a large desk. His face was as cold as ice, and he stared sharply at his subordinate who was bowing his head in silence.

"What has your intelligence team been up to lately? They didn't even know about such a big thing as the Eight-Faced Buddha sending people to infiltrate Hong Kong Island!"

"If it weren't for the information sent by our people in Siam, I would have been kept in the dark by you. I thought our intelligence network was as solid as a rock, but in fact it is full of loopholes. It's simply outrageous!"

Edward Paulen slammed the table angrily, and the documents on the table scattered all over the floor due to the vibration, but he didn't care at all and just continued to scold harshly.

"The other party's forces are deeply rooted in Southeast Asia, involving multiple criminal areas such as drugs, smuggling, and human trafficking. He is an internationally notorious drug lord!"

"He sent people to infiltrate Hong Kong Island, most likely to plan some big move. And you, as the backbone of the police intelligence department, actually knew nothing about this. It's simply dereliction of duty to the extreme!"

The three intelligence team leaders looked at each other, looking nervous and embarrassed.

"Minister, we...we were indeed negligent."

Xu Guohua, the leader of the intelligence investigation team, mustered up his courage and whispered, "However, we have been working hard to collect intelligence, but the Eight-Faced Buddha's actions this time were too secretive, so we..."

"That's enough!" Oddwood Paulen interrupted him angrily, his tone full of unquestionable authority, "Don't make excuses! You have lost your keen insight and foresight."

"How can you protect the property safety of the people of Hong Kong Island and the personal safety of our Great Britain personnel if you are in this state now?"

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then continued: "Now, I want you to take action immediately and do your best to track down the whereabouts of the people sent by the Eight-Faced Buddha."

Intelligence operations team leader Liu Yinguang, intelligence investigation team leader Xu Guohua, and intelligence collection team leader Alexander Xinghan all nodded and said they would do their best to complete the task.

However, what they didn't know was that in Siam, Lai Qing and his group of thirteen people had already successfully arrived in Bangkok and were on their way to Chiang Rai Province.

Their movements were swift and stealthy, like ghosts moving through the night. In another five minutes they would be able to successfully reach their lair and meet up with the Eight-Faced Buddha.

Therefore, when Xu Guohua and his team began their investigation, Lai Qing and his team had already disappeared in the vast crowd, and their investigation was doomed to be in vain.

In a secret and solemn manor in Chiang Rai Province, the Eight-Faced Buddha personally stood up to welcome Lai Qing and his party as they returned triumphantly from Hong Kong Island.

"Welcome back, my warriors!"

The Eight-Faced Buddha greeted them warmly, then with a smile on his face he dismissed the ten younger brothers who were accompanying him to one side, leaving only Lai Qing and his two trusted younger brothers - Chayi and Guan Mianli.

He led the three people into the booth area in the manor, asked them to sit down, and then asked:

"Tell me in detail what you have seen, heard, known and gained in Hong Kong Island during this period." The tone of the Eight-Faced Buddha revealed an unquestionable majesty and viciousness.

The three of them looked at each other, seemingly sorting out their thoughts.

The first person to report was Lai Qing's younger brother Cha Yi, who described in detail all the intelligence he had collected about A Quan and Liu Xu on Hong Kong Island.

Immediately afterwards, Guan Mianli reported some details and speculations he had obtained about the demise of Hongtai, including what he had reported to the boss Lai Qing.

Finally, it was Lai Qing’s turn to report.

He calmly recounted what he had seen and heard in Hong Kong Island, including the riots in mid-August, the various measures taken by the police afterwards, and his experience in the Seaview Hotel.

Among them, he focused on the fight with Tian Yangsheng in the hotel and the impression Liu Xu left on him.

Having followed the Eight-Faced Buddha for so many years and having also been in Jinshan Cape for so many years, Lai Qing is no stranger to the Tianyang Seven-Man Group, which left the title of "Ghost Squad" in Jinshan Cape.

After listening to the three people's detailed narration, the Eight-Faced Buddha was silent for a moment.

He seemed to be weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Then, he fixed his eyes on Lai Qing, revealing a deep trust in his eyes:

"If I ask you to bring a team of gunmen back to Hong Kong Island, are you sure you can kill Liu Xu?" There was a hint of temptation in the words of the Eight-Faced Buddha, but more of it was relaxation.

This was an ordinary inquiry without any other connotations.
