Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

Seventh Heaven Nightclub

It is still a scene of prosperity and dancing!

The guests coming and going were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and were chatting and laughing.

The dancers and singers on the stage have enchanting figures and moving dances, attracting everyone's attention.

At this moment, Long Qi was sitting at the table in the middle of the stage, smoking silently. His eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through everything.

The confidant beside him carefully poured wine for him, his movements skillful and respectful. However, Long Qi only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

The hearts of the people are insufficient!

Long Qi knew this very well.

Among his subordinates, some came to him voluntarily, eager for power and wealth; others were his defeated opponents, who eventually accepted him under their command wholeheartedly.

Most of the brothers who once fought with him in Shanghai and built this empire have passed away.

Those who survived no longer wanted to live a life of swords and swords, and chose to return home with their money to live a peaceful and stable life.

"Ma Yongzhen!" Long Qi shouted.

Ma Yongzhen is wearing a white shirt, black bow tie, black vest, suit pants and leather shoes, and is pouring wine for the guests.

He heard Long Qi calling him, and quickly raised his head and came over with a smile.

"Long Qi!"

Are you planning to fight again? Ma Yongzhen stood a few steps away from Long Qi, always ready.

Seeing him eager to fight, Long Qi bit his cigarette and smiled, "I won't fight you today!"

He waved his hand to signal the people around him to leave, then raised his eyebrows at Ma Yongzhen and asked him to sit down.

"Chat with me!"

"What are you talking about?" Ma Yongzhen put the wine in his hand on the table and asked curiously.

"Ma Yongzhen, what do you think of me?"

"He's good at fighting, loyal, and, um, he has dreams..." Ma Yongzhen frowned and thought hard, "He's also very strong-willed!"

Long Qi laughed and shook his head, "Do you think my position is good?"

He patted the chair beneath him and asked, "Want to sit?"

"No?" Ma Yongzhen shook his head. "I won't join the underworld. I told you!"

"Oh, that's your trick again," Long Qi raised his cigarette hand, "You don't want to go astray, right?"

Ma Yongzhen smiled embarrassedly and scratched his head.

"I just want to make money and live a good life with the one I love!"

"Ma Yongzhen, do you know," Long Qi put his arms on the table and leaned forward, "in this world, with wolves and tigers running rampant, and the Japanese with their evil ambitions, there is no peace!"

"I'll just go back to the country!"

"Ma Yongzhen," Long Qi said helplessly, "You don't understand anything!"

"If you change your mind, remember to tell me!" Long Qi didn't want to talk to Ma Yongzhen anymore. He was too naive!

"Okay!" Ma Yongzhen didn't think he would change his mind, but he nodded anyway.

……

There was a mysterious and depressing atmosphere in the empty and dim restaurant.

Several tall and indifferent followers looked around vigilantly. There were two men sitting there, one black and one white.

The man wearing a black suit, polite and modest is Hirokazu Hashimoto.

Wearing a white shirt, the casual and stylish figure is Long Qi, the overlord of Shanghai.

Today, Hashimoto Hirokazu invited Long Qi to discuss cooperation.

"I'm the president of the Japan General Chamber of Commerce," Hashimoto Hiroichi respectfully handed over his business card. "Hashimoto Hiroichi! I'm grateful for your guidance!"

Long Qi lit a cigarette, but had no intention of taking it.

Hashimoto Hirokazu took back the business card and looked at Long Qi.

Long Qi looked at him, cigarette in hand. "President of the Chamber of Commerce? You're the head of the secret service, right?"

He held the cigarette between his hands, blew out a puff of smoke, and pointed the finger holding the cigarette at Hashimoto Hirokazu, "Are you fighting a war or doing business?"

Hashimoto Hirokazu laughed twice and said, "We have always admired Chinese culture. Of course, we hope that China and Japan can support each other and cooperate in business!"

The words sound nice, but who with a discerning eye doesn't know that they are just hungry wolves in sheep's clothing?

If the opponent is strong, then cooperation is a win-win situation! Once the opponent shows signs of weakness, then we must bare our fangs and swallow them whole!

It's just like trying to get the skin of a tiger!

"So, if you can't get it, just steal it?"

Hashimoto Hirokazu knew that it might not be possible to reach a cooperation today. "Speaking of stealing, it was Long Qijun who stole a batch of our Oriental tea leaves!"

"Oh, is that really tea?"

"If it's real tea, even if you give it to me, I don't know where to put it?" Long Qi smiled and shook his head.

Hashimoto Hiroichi smiled and admitted it directly without saying anything more about tea leaves.

"That's dozens of boxes of opium, worth a lot of money!"

"Why did it burn?"

Hearing this, Long Qi couldn't help laughing, and the louder he laughed, "Haha, I don't know either!"

He really didn't expect Ma Yongzhen to use fire!

"It feels good anyway!"

He found it really funny and enjoyable to watch Ma Yongzhen burning opium!

Long Qi stopped laughing and looked at Hashimoto Hongyi, "Just like you guys in Northeast China, slaughtering Chinese people!"

"Long Qijun," Hashimoto Hirokazu said sternly, "that's war!"

"As long as there is war, innocent people will be harmed!"

"That's not war, that's invasion!"

Hashimoto Hirokazu sat up straight, "Long Qijun..."

"When dealing with the Japanese, you must understand what they mean!"

No matter how respectful, polite and humble the Japanese appear on the surface, they are actually so despicable and unscrupulous in private!

They always smile and speak softly, but they may be plotting all kinds of conspiracies and calculations behind the scenes.

Long Qi suddenly felt bored and said, "Stop thinking that the Chinese are the sick men of East Asia. Please leave!"

Hashimoto Hongyi put away his outward politeness and warned in a cold tone, "Long Qijun, there will only be one result if you talk to me like this!"

Long Qi said it didn’t matter, there was only one outcome!

You die, I live!

……

It was night again and Ma Yongzhen returned to Tiejiaji.

The atmosphere was tense and solemn. Ma Yongzhen was on high alert, looking at some people around him who had ill intentions.

"I knew this day would come." Master Tie sighed, stepped forward and hugged Ma Yongzhen, "I'll go with you."

Ma Yongzhen and Master Tie followed the man in black to the Axe Gang's lair, where three Axe Gang bosses were already waiting.

"Long time no see, Brother Tie." Qiu Laosi said with a wry smile.

"What do you want?" Master Tie asked straight to the point.

"Ma Yongzhen, you actually dared to burn our opium. You are so brave!" Boss Bai's eyes were wide open with anger.

"Hmph, you are trafficking in opium and harming the people. This is against the will of heaven!" Ma Yongzhen was not afraid.

"Boy, you're not going to accept my toast, so you'll have to drink the wine for punishment!" Qiu Laosi slammed the table and stood up.

"Fourth brother, please be patient." The Smiling Buddha, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"Brother Tie, you retired from the underworld for your wife and haven't been seen for decades. Why are you coming out today?"

Is Ma Yongzhen his disciple?

Deliberately burning opium to confront the Axe Gang was to help Ma Yongzhen take power?

The three old men of the Axe Gang are young at heart and cling tightly to the power in their hands, thinking that other people are the same.

Master Tie sighed, "Ma Yongzhen is my youngest daughter's fiancé, they will return to the countryside."

Worried that this wouldn't save Ma Yongzhen, Master Tie continued to back down, "Let's leave tonight. He'll never show up in Shanghai again."

Ma Yongzhen didn't say anything, he knew that Master Tie was doing this for his own good!

Although he was reluctant to leave Shanghai, but...

Seeing that the three men had no objection, Master Tie took Ma Yongzhen away.

Behind them, the three old men from the Axe Gang looked at each other, and cold and sarcastic smiles appeared on their wrinkled faces.
