Hong Kong variety show: Beauty and Bones

"Then, using the prestige of He Liansheng, we can put some pressure on Zhongqing Society. They don't need to do much, as long as we can stop Zhongqing Society from unscrupulously using those despicable methods commonly used by the underworld!"

The Fang siblings looked at each other. They were all ordinary people. Apart from the Zhongqing Society, they had never dealt with the underworld. They didn't know whether Qi Yin's method would work!

"Leave it to me!" Seeing that they were skeptical, Qi Yin didn't explain too much and immediately took out his cell phone and called his father.

……

Old Man Qi handed Qi Yin a detailed profile of a certain person, and this person was none other than Uncle De, an experienced gangster with whom he had had dealings before.

Back then, when Uncle De was young and energetic, he also mixed in social organizations and experienced many ups and downs and fighting.

However, as the years passed and he grew older, he gradually withdrew from those circles full of danger and fighting.

Nowadays, in order to make a living, Uncle De started to engage in some businesses such as matchmaking and selling various information to make money.

When Qi Yin finally found Uncle De according to the clues, she discovered that this was actually an inconspicuous small underground casino!

As we all know, gambling is a game where nine out of ten people lose. Perhaps because of this, even in his old age, Uncle De still has to work tirelessly to make money.

The environment in this small underground casino was extremely bad. The air was filled with a strong and pungent smell of cigarettes mixed with the disgusting stench of sweat.

My ears were filled with the gamblers' shouts and the crackling sound of mahjong tiles. The whole scene was so chaotic and noisy that it was distracting.

As Qi Yin and Fang Zhanbo stepped in, they frowned repeatedly.

Originally, Qi Yin came alone, but Fang Zhanbo said that she was a little girl and had to deal with the underworld for their family, so he insisted on following her. Even if he couldn't protect Qi Yin, he could accompany her to give her courage.

As for the Fang sisters and Luo Huiling, they moved to a hotel temporarily and would move back after the threat from the Zhongqing Society was resolved.

The security guard saw that they were two strangers and hurried over to check.

What's wrong with the gatekeeper? Why didn't he notify us when a stranger came?

One of these two is a pretty boy with fair skin, and the other is a timid little brat. They don’t look like they are here to gamble!

"Hello? What are you doing here?" The security guard stopped Qi Yin and Fang Zhanbo who were looking for someone.

"Brother, we came to see Uncle De for something. Could you please give us a favor?" Qi Yin stuffed a bill into his hand and said with a smile.

The janitor looked down at the banknotes and his expression immediately relaxed. "Looking for Uncle De? Come with me!"

"Thank you!" Qi Yin gave Fang Zhanbo a look, and the two followed the security guard to the innermost table.

……

Uncle De was banging the table and shouting that someone was cheating. Everyone at the table was in a mess and was about to start a fight.

If someone causes trouble, that won’t do!

The janitor rushed forward and shouted, "Who's cheating? Cut off his hands!"

Then he looked at Uncle De, "Hey, Uncle De, do you have any evidence?"

Uncle De cursed, "I've been losing since I sat down. I've been losing everything. No one's cheating. Am I just possessed by bad luck?"

When the others heard this, they all rolled their eyes!

Without evidence, what are you talking about?

The younger brother watching the scene also became impatient, "Uncle De, if you cause trouble again, I don't care who you are friends with!"

An old man who has passed his prime is always making trouble. If the boss hadn't said that he knew some big brothers in gangs, the younger brothers would have taught him a lesson long ago.

"Uncle De, there's business coming!" Seeing that they were making endless noise, Qi Yin had to interrupt them.

Uncle De turned around, his old face like orange peel and his cloudy eyes looked up and down at Qi Yin and Fang Zhanbo.

"Little girl, what do you want from me?"

Just from this one sentence, we know that Uncle De is indeed a veteran with a sharp eye!

"Uncle De, let's find a place to talk?" Qi Yin said with a smile.

"Let's go!" Uncle De's pockets were empty and he couldn't gamble anymore, so he just called out and walked ahead.

Uncle De is worldly-wise. Although he loves gambling, he never borrows money to do so!

He bets as much as he has in his wallet, and he won’t play anymore if he loses it all!

Fortunately, otherwise, he would be in great trouble if he couldn't pay back the high-interest loan from the casino as an old man!

The three of them came to a tea restaurant, and as soon as Uncle De sat down, he started ordering food.

When the table was full, he didn't ask Qi Yin and the others what they wanted him to do, but picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

No matter what you do, whether you can do it or not, eat first!

Qi Yin and Fang Zhanbo were also a little hungry, so they ate some as well.

……

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Uncle De, after eating and drinking his fill, rinsed his mouth with the teacup and asked slowly.

Fang Zhanbo recounted his family's affairs, and said that he hoped He Liansheng could put some pressure on Zhongqing Society and stop it from using any shady tactics against their family.

Uncle De listened quietly and nodded. "I know the Zhongqing Society. They are quite arrogant. Their leader, Ding Xiaohai, is very measured and respectful to his elders. He has a good reputation in the underworld and is a capable young man!"

Fang Zhanbo was about to speak when Qi Yin pulled him aside and shook his head at him.

"Uncle De, I wonder if you can help us?" Qi Yin asked.

To be honest, the Fang family's experience is so heartbreaking that it makes anyone cry.

It's so tragic, innocent and pitiful!

But, they are gangsters! Isn’t that how gangsters work?

"I want one hundred thousand!" Uncle De stated the price directly, and then added, "Don't think my fees are too high. I can help you find Brother Le, the leader of Heliansheng!"

And Liansheng leader?

Qi Yin frowned a little. The middleman had already received 100,000 yuan, but the leader didn't know how much he would receive.

However, no matter how much it is, the worst that can happen is that it’s not enough, and Dad will bleed again!

"Okay, thank you for your help, Uncle De!" Qi Yin agreed.

……

Uncle De took the money and did the job quickly!

The next afternoon, Qi Yin was notified to meet at the hotel.

After Qi Yin and Fang Zhanbo arrived, they waited for half an hour. Uncle De, with a smile on his face, led a middle-aged man to the private room of the restaurant.

Seeing the visitor, Qi Yin and Fang Zhanbo hurriedly stood up to greet him.

The middle-aged man had slightly gray temples and a kind face. He looked like the uncle next door, not the leader of a large society!

"Brother Le, these are the Fang family!" Uncle De introduced Qi Yin and Fang Zhanbo to Brother Le. "I just feel so sorry for them. The Zhongqing Society bullies people like this, and it really ruins the reputation of us in the underworld!"

Brother Le nodded with a smile, greeting Qi Yin and Fang Zhanbo.

After they sat down, Brother Le asked them where they lived now, and then gently said that he had met Ding Xiaoxie from Zhongqing Society several times, but he didn't know whether Ding Xiaoxie would give him this face. However, he would do his best to help.

Next, it was all about eating and drinking. Uncle De was a very experienced man, full of compliments, which made Brother Le laugh happily.

Uncle De and Brother Le are neighbors, and they have watched him grow up, so they had the face to invite him over as soon as they were asked.

Qi Yin and Fang Zhanbo were not the type to enjoy public occasions, so they just smiled on the sidelines.

Fang Zhanbo quietly pulled Qi Yin's sleeve, and when he saw Qi Yin looking at him, he winked at her.

What exactly does that mean?

Can it be done?

How much money do you want?

What if this Brother Le asks for too much?
