Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Chapter 548 Yes, I understand

Prince Hotel, this is the place Liu Xu decided yesterday to discuss matters with Chuanbao.

This hotel just opened this year and is located at Harbour City, 23 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. Next to it is Harbour City, the largest shopping and commercial center in Hong Kong Island.

It is an industry affiliated to the Wharf Group, but since the charter king took control of Wharf through a share increase in the early 1980s, it has changed from a British-owned company to a Chinese enterprise.

This laid the foundation for its subsequent rapid development in both mainland China and Hong Kong.

Liu Xu booked a seat on the third floor of the Prince Hotel, near the window of the Mile Restaurant. He could take in the panoramic view of Victoria Harbour just by turning his head.

When he arrived at the dining table, the skewers were already in place.

Seeing the organizer of the dinner arrive, he stood up, smiled and welcomed Liu Xu to his seat, being extremely polite.

A few simple greetings, asking about each other's recent life and health.

Liu Xu then changed the subject and pointed out that he had learned that three of his uncles, Four-Eyed Pillar, Yuan Hai and Shuang Fandong, had been making moves recently.

He used the word "dancing happily" to describe the movements of the three people, which made Chuanbao's smile slightly stiff, but soon returned to normal.

He gently stroked the cuffs of his suit, and a barely perceptible complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

If Gao Laofa's death made Chuanbao surprised and melancholy.

Deng Bo's death made Chuan Bao terrified and grief-stricken.

In Hong Kong, there were rumors that Gao Laofa was killed by Deng Bo and Jiang Tiansheng, and the two died one after another the next day. He thought carefully about who would avenge Gao Laofa.

The figure that finally became fixed in his mind was not Shanghai Boy, nor was it Loser, but Liu Xu from Yau Ma Tei.

The reason for this speculation is that Shuigou and Shanghaizai do not have that ability.

This guess made him understand one thing completely. That is, as long as Liu Xu was alive, the other party would not be polite to his uncles if they were not honest.

Because this person only cares about affection, not hierarchy. This can be seen from the fact that when Chuiji was invaded by other forces, the other party immediately went to support it.

This is indeed the case. Hasn’t it started now?

The purpose of pointing out the three people of the Four-Eyed Pillars is definitely not to treat them to a meal.

He could already imagine what kind of life they, the uncles, would face after Liu Xu came to power and Lian Sheng took over.

He served as a mascot at the main church meeting, raised the right of his uncles to elect the president, and was even confined to his home and not allowed to go out, where he could only keep company with flowers and plants.

After all, they were all gang leaders before. Chuanbao had thought about resisting and joining forces with other gangs to eliminate Liu Xu's influence in Yau Tsim Mong.

Then find a killer to assassinate him.

To this end, he even stayed at home for a few days and carefully calculated the success rate.

The final result is: the probability of eliminating Liu Xu's forces in Yau Tsim Mong is pitifully low.

The battle in mid-September had already crushed the morale of the Dongxing and Hongxing gangs.

Without the participation of Tung Sing and Hung Hing, the probability of success is still less than 50% with just the Sun Kee and their group of old guys, or with the addition of other second-rate societies.

Of course, it was mainly because the negotiations in Hongtai were over that Chuanbao had observed the movements in Yau Ma Tei for a long time and finally determined that Liu Xu had a special source of intelligence.

He was worried that he would be purged by Liu Xu as soon as he started to organize the conspiracy.

As for finding assassins, the same reason applies, he is worried that the news will be exposed and he will be purged. His choice is to join if he can't beat them.

So when he received Liu Xu's instruction to inform the other uncles of Liu Xu's decision, he agreed so readily.

Chuanbao took a deep breath, collected all his thoughts, and responded in a deep voice: "I haven't paid much attention to their affairs recently. But I am not involved in it."

"Uncle Chuanbao, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to doubt you."

Liu Xu raised the wine glass in his hand and gently shook the scarlet wine in the glass. His eyes penetrated the liquid, as if he wanted to see through Chuanbao's thoughts.

"I invited you tonight because I want you to help me test the opinions of the remaining uncles. To see if they are as dissatisfied as Uncle Yuan Hai and the other two."

"No problem. I will invite Long Gen, Leng Lao, and Shuang Fandong to have tea tomorrow morning. I will give you a specific answer by noon at the latest."

Chuanbao thought that tomorrow would be the time for the headquarters meeting to start, and he would give a reply at noon. Even if other people had ideas, it would be enough time for Liu Xu to take countermeasures.

"Uncle Chuanbao." Liu Xu's voice interrupted Chuanbao's thoughts, "I hope you can help me with this right now. I have asked someone to make appointments with these people in your name."

As he said that, Liu Xu used his eyes to signal Chuanbao to look downstairs. In front of the restaurant door, Long Gen was walking towards the hotel with the support of his confidant.

"I've booked a seat in box 404 on the fourth floor. I'll be waiting for your good news." This was Liu Xu's temporary idea after Bo Zai conveyed the invitation to Chuan Bao.

Knowing that someone was planning to steal the chicken, he couldn't remain indifferent.

Chuanbao frowned slightly and looked at Liu Xu for a moment. Finally, with a long sigh, he stood up and went to the fourth floor.

He had mixed feelings, feeling helpless about Liu Xu's relentless pressure, but also unwilling to play the role he was about to play.

He was unwilling to do so, but the reality was like a huge rock pressing down on him, leaving him no room for hesitation. If he offended these old brothers, he would at most break off the friendship, but if he offended Liu Xu, he might be liquidated.

In box 404 on the fourth floor, the lighting is soft and bright, creating a private and warm atmosphere.

Old Leng, Uncle Quan and Uncle Xing have arrived one after another, all with puzzled expressions on their faces, obviously puzzled by this sudden gathering.

Chuanbao pushed open the door of the box, and was greeted by a warm and slightly oppressive air.

The eyes of the three old brothers, Old Leng, Uncle Quan and Uncle Xing, instantly focused on him.

There was both anticipation and vigilance in their eyes. It was obvious that they were full of doubts and speculations about this sudden gathering.

"Brothers, I'm really sorry to bother you all so late at night." Chuan Baoqiang forced a smile, "I also made an appointment with Long Gen, he will be here soon, just wait a moment."

"Chuanbao, what are you planning tonight? You're in such a hurry to gather us here, it's not to reminisce about the past, right?"

Mr. Leng was obviously not calmed down by what he said and asked directly.

"Please be patient. When the dragon head arrives, I will tell you my purpose."

"Squeak~"

As soon as Chuanbao finished speaking, the door of the box was pushed open again, and the person who came in was the last person of the party, Long Gen.

"Chuanbao, I just finished my meal when your people told me in a hurry that you had something urgent to talk to me about. What was it?"

As soon as Long Gen stepped through the door of the box, he directly asked Chuanbao who was sitting in the main seat.

On the third floor, at the south-facing dining table, although Liu Xu was the only one left, it did not affect his enjoyment of the food in front of him at all.

The significant improvement in his physical fitness made him a picky eater for a week, and he longed for foods rich in protein and calcium.

The demand for fruits has also increased dramatically, especially apples, kiwis, blueberries, watermelons and mangosteens.

However, after that week, perhaps his body had received the nutrients it needed, allowing his diet to return to normal.

The desire for fruit is not as strong as before.

However, the portions in this kind of high-end restaurant are so damn small that you can finish them in just a few bites, and they are barely enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.

Let him decide in his heart that he should only come to this kind of place once. The food is small and expensive! I don't understand why those rich people like to eat in this kind of place.

……

The explosion did not keep Liu Xu waiting for long. In just half an hour, he reappeared at the dining table on the third floor, while Long Gen and his companions disappeared at the entrance of the hotel.
