Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

The sudden ringing broke the silence in the room and temporarily interrupted Liu Xu's thoughts. He glanced at the screen of his mobile phone, but there was no number displayed. There was only a pigeon flying from the right side of the screen to the left side.

Liu Xu did not find this scene strange, because mobile phones of this era did not display the other party's phone number when they received a call. The function of displaying the other party's phone number was not adopted until the 1990s.

As soon as the call was connected, a familiar voice came from the receiver: "Hello, Liu Xu, this is the boss Gao Laofa!"

Liu Xu said to himself, "As expected," and replied without hesitation, "Hello, Mr. Gao. I'm Liu Xu. You called me because there's something you need me to do for you?"

Gao Laofa on the other end of the phone could tell Liu Xu was nervous. He chuckled and said gently, "Liu Xu, don't be so nervous."

"I'm not looking for you for anything important. I just want to learn something about Hong Xing's new uncle."

"Just now, Jiang Tiansheng, the leader of the Hongxing gang, called me and said that you killed the leader of their gang in Yau Ma Tei - Uncle Wang Zhixin. Do you think it would be convenient for you to tell me what happened?" There was a hint of inquiry in Gao Laofa's words.

"It's convenient, Mr. Gao!" Liu Xu paused, and after quickly organizing his thoughts, he slowly said, "Mr. Gao, this is what happened!"

"I was out with a friend at nine last night to discuss some business matters. After the discussion, on the way back, I encountered Hua Fu's ambush."

"They seemed to be well prepared. Not only did they intercept me, they also arranged for his henchman Luo Ji to lead others to cross my border, hoping to annex my territory in one fell swoop."

"But he underestimated the strength of my younger brothers. In the end, he was subdued by my younger brothers. The younger brothers who crossed the line were also defeated by Daozai Ergou and his men."

"Under such circumstances, we took advantage of the situation and took over Shanghai Street in Yau Ma Tei."

"However, when we had collected half of the land, we ran into Uncle Xin's henchman Siyanhu. They wanted to take advantage of the situation and annex the remaining half of Shanghai Street in Huafu."

"Of course I couldn't agree to this. We had a conflict over territory. In the end, the Four-Eyed Tiger was defeated on Shanghai Street. After that, I took over half of the other side's Bowlan Street as a token of my return."

"After I and my men occupied half of Portland Street, Uncle Xin finally arrived with his men. He wanted me to return to Shanghai Street, but I rejected his proposal and did not agree."

At this point, Liu Xu paused for a moment before continuing, "Maybe because the fighting was too loud, while I was negotiating with Uncle Xin, the police came over, took me back to the police station, and warned Uncle Xin and the others."

"This is what happened, Mr. Gao!" Liu Xu explained the whole story to Mr. Gao in detail.

After listening to Liu Xu's narration, Gao Laofa on the other end of the phone nodded slightly and praised Liu Xu's behavior, "Well, you did a good job!"

Then, he changed the subject and asked Liu Xu directly, "Does the death of the other party in his own home have anything to do with you?"

After hearing Gao Laofa's question, Liu Xu quickly denied it: "Mr. Gao, your words really make me a little panic. I can assure you! Uncle Xin's death has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

Liu Xu's tone revealed a hint of helplessness and calmness, and he continued: "After I was taken back to the police station by Inspector Li of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, the other party directly rejected my lawyer's request for bail.

"I drank coffee in the interrogation room for nearly six hours, and it was not until 5:30 in the morning that the other party agreed to my lawyer's request for bail."

"After I came back, I fell asleep immediately. I had no time to care about the outside world. It was only before you called me that I learned about the death of my uncle from my brother A Luo."

"I am very shocked and sorry about what happened to Xinshu, but I really had nothing to do with it."

After listening to Liu Xu's explanation, Gao Laofa pondered for a moment, "Liu Xu, I believe your words. You have always been a sensible person. I believe you will not do such a foolish thing."

"I will come forward to communicate with Jiang Tiansheng about Uncle Xin's matter, you don't have to worry. Lian Sheng and I have been silent for a few years just because we don't want to cause trouble, but it doesn't mean we are afraid of trouble!"

Gao Laofa's voice became firm and powerful. Through the receiver, Liu Xu could feel the determination in his words: "Liu Xu, you did a decent job this time. You didn't embarrass us and Lian Sheng."

"But," Gao Laofa's tone slowed down, revealing a hint of warning, "The road in the martial arts world is long and full of turmoil. You need to be vigilant at all times, not only to guard against the swords and sabers in the open, but also to be careful of the arrows in the dark."

"Although you denied the matter of Uncle Xin, it is inevitable that someone will use this to cause trouble. You must be prepared."

Hearing this, Liu Xu realized that Gao Laofa was warning him, and his heart warmed. "Mr. Gao taught me that I will act more cautiously and live up to your expectations."

"Okay." Gao Laofa nodded with satisfaction. "Since you have already taken over the territory of Yau Ma Tei, you should manage it well and don't let people underestimate us and Lian Sheng."

Suddenly, Gao Laofa thought of what Liu Xu had mentioned at the beginning about doing business with others, and he added, "By the way, do you have any new plans for business recently? If you need any help from the community, please feel free to ask."

Liu Xu pondered for a moment, organized his words, and then expressed his thoughts; "Actually, I have always wanted to expand the business scope of our club, Mr. Gao."

Gao Laofa became interested when he heard this and asked, "Oh? How do you mean?"

Liu Xu continued: "For example, we can get involved in some legitimate business investments and reduce our reliance on illegal activities. This will not only increase our income, but also enhance the image of us and Lian Sheng."

After listening to this, Gao Laofa nodded slightly to show his agreement: "Yes. This is a good idea. People in the underworld will eventually go ashore. It is a good thing to be able to clean up your name. Just go for it. I will support you."

"But I want to remind you that while you are whitewashing, you have to consider the current situation in Hong Kong Island. Too much is as bad as too little!"

"I understand, Mr. Gao, thank you for your reminder." Liu Xu replied solemnly.

He knew that Gao Laofa was implicitly reminding him that before the return of Hong Kong Island, it was a dead end to whitewash the society with the society! You can wash it around the edges, but you can never wash it openly.

You must have the identity of the society, and you must also have the society's gray industry.

What the foreigners need is never "a harmonious Hong Kong Island", what they need is a Hong Kong Island that is harmonious only when he says it is harmonious.

"Haha, you're welcome. That's it, you go and do your work first, and you can always come to me if you have any difficulties." After saying that, Gao Laofa hung up the phone.

Liu Xu was deeply moved by the phone call from Mr. Gao.

If he felt Gao Laofa's ability to strategize as the chairman of the club during the club meeting, then this phone call made him feel Gao Laofa's pattern as the chairman.

For the first time, Liu Xu felt that he was not fighting alone, he had someone behind him, the entire He Liansheng team supporting him!

Under such circumstances, he did not intend to use half of the land of Bowl Street as a bargaining chip. Now that he had the entire society to support him, if he wanted to swallow it, he would swallow the whole street!

On the other side, after hanging up Liu Xu’s call, Gao Laofa called Jiang Tiansheng again!
