Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

The thin old man snorted coldly and put away his musket, but still followed the two men vigilantly. The other old men followed closely behind, protecting the children in the middle, just in case.

A group of people followed the burly man in a mighty procession, heading towards the place he mentioned as his residence.

Finally, they arrived in front of a dilapidated rental house. The sturdy man opened the door and let everyone in. The house was dark and narrow, filled with all kinds of sundries.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, the burly man walked to a tattered wooden box and opened it.

There were indeed many colorful glass beads and some small ornaments hidden inside. When the children saw these treasures, their eyes sparkled with excitement.

But the old people did not let their guard down. They carefully checked every item, fearing that there might be some unspeakable secret hidden in it.

After a careful inspection, the old people determined that these were just some ordinary glass beads and small ornaments, and did not find anything suspicious.

At this time, the burly man breathed a sigh of relief and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

"See, I told you we really didn't mean any harm." He spread out his hands to prove his innocence.

The thin old man snorted coldly: "Forget it this time, but if you dare to hit our children again in the future, don't blame us for being rude!"

After saying that, he left the rental house with a group of elderly people and children.

The sturdy man and the thin man looked at their departing figures, their faces filled with fear. The thin man patted his chest and gave the sturdy man a thumbs up in shock:

"Brother Hai, luckily you were smart and prepared dozens of glass beads in advance. Otherwise, based on the posture of that old man just now, the other party would really dare to jump on us."

Brother Hai laughed when he heard this, and there was a hint of pride in his calm expression: "Of course, I just didn't use it in the past, otherwise I would have let you see my methods long ago."

"But then again, we've suffered a big setback this time." Brother Hai sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

The thin man nodded, his tone becoming more serious: "Yeah, we got away with it this time. So are we still targeting this community, Brother Hai?"

Brother Hai looked like he had a good idea. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of opening his five fingers and then slowly clenching them. "We have initially dispelled the other party's doubts this time. Of course, we must press on to win."

In the dim little room, the two began to discuss how to successfully complete the trafficking mission.

Not far from this cottage, in a quiet three-bedroom, one-living-room house, Zhang Zihao and his younger brothers moved into this community after returning to Pengcheng from Hong Kong Island.

This was the base he had prepared after returning from Jiangxi Province. He rented two three-bedroom, one-living-room houses in this community. Six people lived in one house, and five people lived in the other.

The suite he was staying in was a suite for five people, with two people living in the bedrooms on both sides of the bathroom, and he himself lived in a separate room.

As the boss of the team, Zhang Zihao understood that if he lived in the same room with his younger brothers, he would easily lose his prestige and absolute voice in the team.

Not only did he watch the conversation between the old man in the community and the two middle-aged men, he also boldly stood outside the door with a group of brothers to watch.

Based on his experiences in these years, he was very sure that the two people were human traffickers. But he did not expose them, firstly because he had no substantial evidence and secondly because he did not want to cause trouble.

They need to stay in Pengcheng until mid-October before returning to Hong Kong Island. At that time, he will enter Hong Kong Island through a visa, not by sneaking in.

In this case, even if the police were to follow the person while handling the stolen goods, he could still say that he was only handling the stolen goods on behalf of others. In this case, the maximum sentence is three years.

"Uncle Luo, how is it? Are there any other ingredients in it?" Zhang Zihao took out a cigarette and handed it to the thin old man holding the bird gun, and spoke to him with a smile on his face.

Uncle Luo took the cigarette, took a puff, and shook his head with satisfaction: "No, the other party does live nearby, and he does have a collection of brand new glass beads."

"I was too nervous and misunderstood those two guys!" As he said this, he laughed, patted Zhang Zihao on the shoulder, and walked towards his house.

Ma Shangzhong chuckled and whispered with a gloating look: "This old man must have noticed something wrong with those two people. He was actually pointing a finger at you when he patted your shoulder just now, Boss."

Zhang Zihao took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and glared at Ma Shangzhong unhappily: "Do you think I can't see it? No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak."

"Uncle, do you want to come to my house for dinner today?" The sudden childish voice reached the ears of Zhang Zihao and his group, and instantly made Ma Shangzhong, who wanted to refute, shut his mouth.

Zhang Zihao turned around and found that it was the kid who lived next door to him. He took two steps forward and asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly ask the uncles if they wanted to go to your house for dinner?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes with an innocent look on her face: "Today is my mother's birthday. She made a lot of delicious food. I want to invite the neighbors to share the happiness together."

"Grandpa said that good things should be shared with friends, so that the happiness will be greater."

"Then why don't you treat your friends to a meal?" Zhang Zihao pointed to the children playing mud games not far away. He remembered that these children had a lot of fun playing before.

The little girl looked at her friends in the distance, bit her fingers, and looked confused: "But they and I are already good friends, and they will steal my delicious food."

"You are adults, and mom said that adults won't fight with kids like me for delicious food. This way I can make new friends without having to worry about anyone fighting with me."

After hearing what the little girl said, Zhang Zihao couldn't help but laugh, and sighed that the world of children is really simple.

The old man holding the little girl's hand explained awkwardly: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"It hasn't been long since our family moved here. In order to help Cuicui better integrate with the children, I often asked her to bring snacks to share with other children."

Zhang Zihao smiled and shook his head: "Cuicui is such a smart and lovely child. You see, she already has her own ideas, knows how to maintain her own little world, and is eager to make new friends."

Hearing this, the old man showed a gratified smile on his face: "Yes, Cuicui has been sensible since she was a child."

After he finished speaking, the old man paused, then changed the subject, his expression suddenly becoming a little bitter: "It's my fault. I thought I could live safely in Hong Kong Island with my medical skills, but in the end..."

He did not continue the conversation, as if he realized that it was a taboo to talk about intimate things with someone you just met. So he sighed softly and brought the topic back to his granddaughter.

"Please come to our house tonight and have a simple meal together to celebrate Mother Cuicui's birthday."

As a grandfather, he would not object to his granddaughter's wish to make friends. The practice of favoring boys over girls was not common in his family, and his experience in the cowshed had long since erased his obsession with blood inheritance.

When granddaughter Cuicui heard this, her eyes immediately lit up and she looked at Zhang Zihao and the others with anticipation.

Zhang Zihao shook his head in embarrassment: "Uncle, we appreciate your kindness. However, Cuicui is so cute, we would like to make friends with her, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get together in the future."

Cuicui hesitated for a moment, looking like a child: "Then if there is a chance in the future, uncles, please play with me."

Zhang Zihao smiled and nodded: "Of course, Cuicui, we will definitely find time to play with you."

When Cui Cui heard this, her eyes smiled into crescent shapes and she nodded excitedly: "Okay! I'll tell mom that I made a new friend!"

As they spoke, the grandfather and grandson held hands, turned around and walked towards home. The setting sun stretched their shadows long, but it also reflected a warm and beautiful picture.
