Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Liu Xu waited for about an hour.

It was twelve o'clock in the morning. Zhou Haiqing's face gradually became distorted, his eyes were bloodshot, and cold sweat kept oozing out of his forehead and sliding down his cheeks.

His lips were dry and pale, as if they had lost all moisture. He would occasionally groan, the pain of his addiction tearing at his nerves.

Liu Xu sat in front of him, holding a small bag of white powder in his hand, which was the drug that Zhou Haiqing was usually addicted to. He looked at Zhou Haiqing coldly, with a sneer on his lips.

He tossed the white powder in his hand gently and asked with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "Do you want it?"

Liu Xu knew that for drug addicts like Zhou Haiqing, cocaine was their only salvation and what they desired most. It could allow drug addicts to forget their pain for a short time and achieve bliss.

He wanted to use the white powder in his hand to test whether the other party had anything hidden.

At this moment, Zhou Haiqing's eyes were filled with an endless desire for the powder. He covered his chest with both hands, trying to soothe the pain that was like a thousand ants gnawing at his heart, and begged: "Please, Brother Xu, give me one bite! Just one bite!"

Liu Xu looked at Zhou Haiqing's painful expression, and the sneer on his face became even more intense. He shook his head gently and said, "Haha, I'm sorry, what you just told me is of no use to me."

"If you can tell me something useful, then I might consider giving you this package in my hand." His tone was full of teasing and provocation.

Zhou Haiqing clenched his hands tightly, digging his nails deep into his palms, trying to use the pain of his body to distract himself from his drug addiction. However, this self-mutilation was futile and could not resist the strong desire that surged from deep within his bones.

His body began to tremble, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I...I...I really only remember what I told you before, Brother Xu, please, please...please...let me take a sip!"

At this time, Zhou Haiqing was on the verge of collapse. His sanity had been eroded by drugs and was almost gone. All that was left was an endless desire for the bag of white powder.

Liu Xu looked at Zhou Haiqing indifferently. He suspected that if he asked Zhou Haiqing to eat shit right now and promised to give him the powder in his hand, he would swallow it without hesitation.

He continued to toss the white bag in his hand and reminded: "Think about it carefully. As long as you can tell me something useful, I will not only give it to you, but also to your mother and your son. I will let them live!"

Liu Xu's eyes were like ice, piercing Zhou Haiqing's heart. He desperately searched for any clues that might satisfy Liu Xu, but the erosion of drugs made his mind like a kite with a broken string, erratic.

"Xu...Xu brother, I...I really..." Zhou Haiqing's voice almost turned into sobs. Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he had grasped the last straw to save his life, "I...I remember, I have seen him before..."

Liu Xu's eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly kicked the chair away and walked forward quickly, almost touching Zhou Haiqing's face. His deep voice was filled with urgency: "Where did you see him? Who was with him when you saw him? Tell me now!"

Zhou Haiqing took a deep breath, as if he had used up all his strength: "It was a long time ago. I remember that he was with a man who was called "Uncle Tai" by the people around him."

After listening to Zhou Haiqing's information, Liu Xu nodded and handed over the white bag in his hand: "Very good, you led this. But remember, if there is anything hidden, you and your family will not have a good ending."

Zhou Haiqing's hands were trembling. As soon as he took the bag of white powder, he couldn't wait to tear open the package, put it under his nose, and took a deep breath.

At that moment, all the pain and suffering seemed to disappear with this inhalation.

Liu Xu stood aside, watching all this coldly. He knew in his heart that although the assassination had come to an end temporarily, the real battle had just begun, and he would never give up!

When gangsters do things, as long as they have someone to suspect, that's enough, not to mention they have evidence.

As he said that, he turned to look at Liu Chendao and asked seriously, "Have you recorded the sound and the picture?"

"I recorded it, Brother Xu." The younger brother next to Chen Dao hurried forward and replied.

"Yeah." Liu Xu nodded. Then he turned around, stepped forward and helped the grandmother and grandson who had fallen to the ground up, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I was just joking with you just now. Didn't I scare you?"

Wang Ping felt relieved. She stroked her grandson who was too frightened to speak, and quickly replied, "You're too polite, Boss. No, no, we were not scared."

She showed a flattering smile on her face and secretly felt lucky that she had escaped.

Liu Xu looked at her expression and didn't care about her feelings. This question and action was just to set an example for his younger brothers and show his magnanimity of not bullying the elderly and the weak.

He gently patted Wang Ping's shoulder and consoled her, "I'm glad you weren't scared." He took out five Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and handed them to Wang Ping, "Take these five thousand Hong Kong dollars as compensation. But I will send your son to the police station."

He paused, then continued: "If you want to see him in the future, I'm afraid you can only go to prison. I hope you can understand."

"I understand, I understand, but I can't take this money...!" Wang Ping looked at the banknotes in Liu Xu's hand with some fear and waved her hands repeatedly.

"Hmm? You think it's too little?" Liu Xu's mouth curled up slightly. He took out five Hong Kong dollars from his pocket again, stacked them together, and slowly handed them to Wang Ping.

At the same time, the younger brothers around heard Liu Xu's words and surrounded him with ferocious looks on their faces.

Seeing the atmosphere freeze instantly, Wang Ping quickly bent down to apologize and explained: "No, no, boss, I'm sorry, I didn't..."

However, her explanation was not understood by Liu Xu.

Seeing people gradually approaching, Wang Ping knew she had no choice. She quickly took the Hong Kong dollars from Liu Xu and held them tightly in her hand.

Then he pulled up his grandson, bowed repeatedly and thanked him: "It's not too little, it's not too little, everyone. I'm just old and have a little Parkinson's disease, so I'm a little slow in taking the money."

"Well, that's right. If you accept my compensation, it means you are one of us."

She could not hate her son who caused all this, because he was her son; her own flesh and blood.

She couldn't hate Liu Xu either. Not only because she didn't dare to hate him, but also because if the other party hadn't shown mercy, her son's life would have been lost! The other party at least saved her son's life.

Liu Xu touched the child who had been silent from beginning to end. He saw a hint of fear in the little kid's eyes, but more of it was a face full of strength.

This surprised him a little, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's interesting."

Afterwards, Liu Xu walked towards Zhou Haiqing, who had recovered, and said, "Zhou Haiqing, although you gave me the information, our feud is not completely over yet. But don't worry, I won't kill you."

"However, I will send you to Stanley Prison, and you will help me find a few people. If you can do it, you may have a chance to get out alive. Otherwise..."

After saying this, Liu Xu revealed a chilling smile.

Hearing that he was only being sent to prison, Zhou Haiqing's face flashed with joy of surviving a disaster, and he quickly nodded to show his agreement: "Okay, as long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to do anything."

Liu Xu nodded in satisfaction and ordered his men behind him, "Daozai, take him to Officer Li Xiuxian of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau in person and ask him to help convict him and send him to Stanley Prison."

"Two more people, please take this pair of grandchildren back home."

After explaining these things, Liu Xu continued, "Daozai, when you are done with these things, come to the Dongsheng Boxing Gym on Pitt Street in Yau Ma Tei. Our Yau Ma Tei headquarters will be located there in the future. When you practice boxing in the future, you can practice boxing in the boxing gym."

"From now on, you, A'Luo, and Ergou should stay in the boxing gym when you have nothing to do. I will reserve a room for each of you on the third floor of the boxing gym."

When Chen Dao heard that the boss had chosen the boxing gym as the venue for their gathering, he instantly became excited and replied happily, "That's great, boss. I can finally say goodbye to this shabby warehouse."

As he said that, he immediately pulled Zhou Haiqing over, intending to hand her over to Officer Li as soon as possible and then go to the boxing gym to check it out.
