Song Tianyao glanced at Fish Ming and his seven or eight men behind him and said, "What are you waiting for? Break these bastards' limbs first, then we'll talk. Go to hell! I've lived with my Dad for over ten years, and I didn't even know he had a friend like you!"
Having received Song Tianyao's orders, Fish Ming approached with cruel smiles. Without a word, he prepared to chop down four of Bayonet Wing. However, one of Bayonet Wing's henchmen was quick-witted and, sensing the danger, turned and ran without regard for Bayonet Wing Dao Rong's life. Fish Ming was about to lead his men after them when Song Tianyao waved his hand, indicating that it wasn't necessary. He simply stared at Bayonet Wing with a grim face and said:
"Don't chase after him. Let him go and deliver the message. Send the other four to the dock first, so that Golden-Tooth Lei's five hundred henchmen won't be bored while guarding the warehouse. They can be used as punching bags to stretch their muscles. Also, help me find out which one to let them come to see Song Chunliang, this friend."
Chapter 157 Grandpa?
"Golden-Tooth Lei, you won't even give me this much face?" Liang Pei said angrily to Golden-Tooth Lei, who was sitting on a bench at the dock, pretending to be resting with his eyes closed.
Liang Pei was already preparing to spend the night with her 14K lover when Qi Weiwen called, asking her to rush to the Central Pier to save a few lives. She and Chen Zhongying arrived shortly after.
Liang Pei was too lazy to deal with such matters, but he couldn't resist his young lover's insistence, so he eventually brought a few plainclothes officers and drove to the dock.
Although Fuyixing members rarely gamble in Wan Chai, Liang Pei felt that his status as the Second Route Marshal of Single Righteousness was undeniable. He figured that if he rescued a few 14K underlings, Golden-Tooth Lei would definitely give him face. He figured he could just wait for Chen Zhongying and Qi Weiwen to arrive, sit down and negotiate, and he could act as a peacemaker.
To his utter surprise, even after he had brought his lover to the scene, Fuyixing's men at the docks continued their rampage, hanging four 14K henchmen on unloading cargo trailers and using them as punching bags for their boxing practice.
Seeing the four men stripped down to their underwear, their bodies covered in chilling bruises, even the mistress of the Mong Kok Twelve Golden Hairpins, known as the "Big Sister," couldn't help but shout at Golden-Tooth Lei, "Kill them if you want, fight them if you want! If they can't win and get hacked to death, that's their fault! But Lao Fu, shouldn't you take advantage of your numbers and hang them up to humiliate them!"
Golden-Tooth Lei seemed completely oblivious to Liang Pei and the woman's words. He picked up the teapot beside him, took a sip of water, and slowly said to the underlings practicing boxing in the distance, "Didn't you have a late-night snack? Your punches were so light that those bastards didn't even utter a sound. You're so gentle, are you waiting for the Governor of Hong Kong to appoint you as Philanthropists?"
In reality, the four men, Bayonet Wing, who were being hung up and beaten, were already too weak to scream. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and they had broken countless ribs. If Song Tianyao hadn't instructed them not to kick their groins or other vital areas, they would probably be dead by now.
As soon as their Big Brother spoke, one of Golden-Tooth Lei's henchmen walked up to the four men hanging there, grabbed Bayonet Wing's left little finger, and said to Bayonet Wing, whose mouth was gushing blood, "My Big Brother wants to hear you scream louder."
With a "crack!" sound, the little finger bone of Bayonet Wing was snapped off in the opposite direction!
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~!" Bayonet Wing's body was hanging in mid-air like a fish out of water, he thrashed several times and screamed in agony.
Liang Pei reached up to touch the pistol at his waist, his hands lifting his wet and dry clothes. He couldn't tolerate Golden-Tooth Lei's Golden-Tooth Lei disrespect. But before he could draw his gun, more than a dozen of Fuyixing's henchmen blocked Jin Ya Lei's way, and hundreds of people in the distance slowly surrounded Liang Pei and his group of five or six from all sides.
Golden-Tooth Lei stood up from the bench, parted the crowd in front of him, and confronted Liang Pei, who was holding his gun holster, without fear. "Liang Sir, you say that not releasing them is disrespecting you, but if I ask them to release them, who will help me regain face for Fuyixing? Those uncles Big-Time Tycoon will blame you, but they won't blame you, a lowly Detective Chief Inspector who can just order people to release them with a few words. They'll only blame me, Golden-Tooth Lei, for being an incompetent good-for-nothing."
"Outnumbering the few is against the rules of the underworld." Liang Pei sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn't actually fire a shot, so he changed his approach. "So many people against four, even if we kill them, does that make Fuyixing powerful enough in the underworld?"
Golden-Tooth Lei, holding a purple clay teapot, said, "Fuyixing has recently been working for Likang of the Chu Family in Chiu Chow. These scoundrels went and messed with the big boss's secretary and family. We caught them. Don't even mention hanging them up and giving them a few punches. Even if we stuffed them all into sacks and threw them into the sea to swim, and then I led the whole gang to fight Fourteen K, no one in the underworld would dare to say that Fuyixing was wrong. Underworld matters are underworld matters. Likang's secretary isn't an underworld person. He sneaked around messing with the other party's family. Liang Sir, tell me, is Fuyixing more powerful, or is Fourteen K more powerful?"
Liang Pei was speechless at Golden-Tooth Lei's question. He hurriedly received a call from Qi Weiwen, who said that Fuyixing had arrested the people from the 14K and asked him to come first to save the lives of a few people. He felt that as the Detective Chief Inspector of Wan Chai Police Station and the second-in-command of Single Righteousness, and with his lover pleading beside him, he asked Golden-Tooth Lei to give him face.
Having heard the whole story, Liang Pei wanted nothing more than to give Qi Weiwen a good scolding. Even if a person from the underworld is despicable, they should at least know how to conduct themselves within the underworld. If 14K and Fuyixing have a grudge, they should each send their own men to fight it out, or settle things in a teahouse. But 14K actually sent someone to cause trouble for Likang's secretary's family, and the other party is not even a member of the underworld. It's really a despicable tactic.
"Why is there no sound?" Golden-Tooth Lei asked slowly when he saw Liang Pei's silence.
"Crack!" After another crisp sound, Bayonet Wing's hoarse scream rang out again.
The young woman, who was being held in Liang Pei's arms, suddenly reached for the pistol at Liang Pei's waist, shouting angrily, "Put them down!"
Before her hand could even touch the holster, Liang Pei hurriedly shoved her away, turned around and slapped her across the face, yelling, "Are you crazy?!"
If this woman were to snatch the gun and fire, regardless of whether she hits Golden-Tooth Lei, the moment the gunshot rings out, it would be tantamount to Liang Pei's Single Righteousness and the 14K gang breaking with all code of honor and declaring war on Fuyixing. No matter the outcome, he and his several policemen would be hacked to death by hundreds of Fuyixing's men tonight.
