But now he was in a bind. The two men pointed their guns at each other, with the surrounding martial arts figures watching. If Lui Lok backed down, he would immediately become Yan Hung's stepping stone and a laughingstock in the martial arts world. But if he didn't back down, he didn't know if Yan Hung, this rough man, would actually fire a gun.
"Two!" Ever since that night when he shot and killed someone, Yan Hung's entire mentality and temperament have changed. He is at least a cut above Lui Lok, who has never shot anyone, in terms of his eyes and expression. At this moment, he counts the numbers in a cold voice.
Seeing the expression on Lui Lok's face immediately after Yan Hung finished speaking, he was certain that Lü Le didn't have the guts to fire. But Yan Hung dared to. Lui Lok's backers were none other than his father-in-law Wo Shing Wo, and Zhe Gu Cai. Yan Hung had even killed Tan Changshan, who was close to Zhe Gu Cai in seniority. What was there for him not to dare to do with Zhe Gu Cai's son-in-law? If a superior didn't stand up for his subordinates, what would his men, like A Yue, think of him in the future?
Yan Hung had already considered the consequences. If he killed Lui Lok and Handkerchief Qing tonight, it would be difficult for Chu Xiaoxin to protect him. In less than six months, he had killed two colleagues who were Detective Sergeant. If this was counted as a merit, the rest of the Police Force would probably turn against him. So, at worst, he would pay money and claim that Lui Lok and he had teamed up to seize opium at the docks and were unfortunately killed by criminals. He would say that it was his incompetence in planning that caused the incident. He would be demoted, but he would only accept the demotion if he found someone from his own circle to fill the vacant position of Senior Detective Sergeant at the Mong Yan Hung Mong Kok Police Station to ensure his status in the underworld.
If Zhe Gu Cai dares to turn against him, he will have Golden-Tooth Lei join forces with the Chiu Chow Gang to start a war with the He-prefix gangs.
As for Chu Xiaoxin and Song Tianyao, they are not in a position to stand up for Yan Hung, but they should not lack financial support for him.
If Song Tianyao knew what Yan Hung was thinking at this moment, he would be surprised. This good-for-nothing Yan Hung actually knew how to use his brain after he became Senior Detective Sergeant. He was ruthless and clear-headed. He was a real talent.
Having already decided to kill, Yan Hung was about to utter a few words of humiliation before pulling the trigger when Chen Tai stepped forward, his face flushed red, and stood between Yan Hung and Lui Lok. His voice was somewhat weak as he spoke, "Brother Hung, Brother Lok, I am Chen Tai from Harmony Heroes, and also Brother Yiu's cousin. Could you two please give me some face?"
Hearing Chen Tai interrupt Yan Hung's counting, Lui Lok felt a sense of relief. Although the muzzle of his gun was still pointed at Yan Hung's temple, his expression had returned to a smile, and the tension from before was gone.
This guy A-Tai Harmony Heroes is sensible and knows what's good for him! As long as someone interrupts, we can always get back to negotiating. It's just a talk, after all. As long as there's no violence, Lui Lok won't let Yan Hung take advantage of him.
When Yan Hung saw Chen Tai step forward, he felt a little more at ease. It wasn't that he was afraid to kill, but he didn't know how close Chen Tai's relationship with Song Tianyao really was. When British-German Western Pharmacy opened, he had drunk a few drinks with Chen Tai at the dinner table, so they were on good terms. If he didn't give him face, and if Song Tianyao really considered Chen Tai a confidant, he might be blamed for not showing Chen Tai face tonight.
"A-Tai, it's not that I don't respect you, but if one of my plainclothes detectives gets beaten up by some random gangster, how can I face him if I don't help him get his Master Hung?" Yan Hung softened, but his expression remained unchanged. He still pointed his gun at Lui Lok, and even kept his eyes fixed on Lui Lok, without looking at Chen Tai, as he spoke.
"Sergeant Hung! I hit him! Come at me if you have a problem, don't mess with Brother Lok!" Handkerchief Qing stood there with his arms crossed, arrogantly declaring, "Go ahead and shoot me! If my men don't burn the Mong Kok Police Station to ashes tonight to accompany me, my tombstone will bear your name!"
"Ah Xiong, we are all quacks. It's not a big deal to curse Yan Xiong. It's a pity for you and me to lose our lives here. It's reached this point. If you shoot me to death, even if a Justice of the Peace protects you, the person with the prefix will draw a lot of life and death. It's impossible for you to survive tonight. It's just that everyone will die together." When Lu Le heard what Yan Xiong said, he was afraid that Yan Xiong would be angered again, so he immediately took the initiative and said, "Why bother?"
Yan Hung slowly put away his gun, ignoring Lui Lok, and looked at Chen Tai: "If I leave just because you say so, how can I save face? Fine, let Mr. Song make the decision. A Wai, go to the Sai Kung police station and borrow a phone to go to the Wan Chai Police Station. Have my friend Headless help me see Mr. Song and ask him to make the decision."
"I know, Brother Hung." A Wai put away his gun, turned around, beckoned to one of his men, got into the car, and drove away.
Seeing Yan Hung put away his gun, Lui Lok also put away his pistol. However, worried that Yan Hung might suddenly shoot Handkerchief Qing, he intentionally or unintentionally stood between Yan Hung and Handkerchief Qing.
Yan Hung turned to look at Nine-Tattooed Dragon on the ground, whose two leg bones were broken but whose spirits were still good, and then looked at the Scribe Hui, who was unable to speak, "Ah Hui, should we send you away first?"
"We're not leaving. We'll wait for Mr. Song to come and help us vent our anger." The Scribe Hui, was still shaken and didn't speak. Instead, Nine-Tattooed Dragon, despite being beaten so badly, still had the mood to put on a smile and say to Yan Hung.
Chen Tai also wanted to come over and speak to the Scribe Hui, but Yan Hung stopped Chen Tai, saying in a lukewarm tone, "A-Tai, it's better to wait until Mr. Song arrives before you speak."
Just as everyone on the dock was waiting for Song Tianyao, four women arrived first. Before the others paid any attention, Scribe Tan of 14K, changed his expression when he saw them. The one walking in front was his Big Brother, Qi Weiwen, who was now living in seclusion in Kowloon Walled City and had publicly declared that he would not interfere in the affairs of 14K.
Following behind Qi Weiwen was Chen Yanni, the eldest of the Mong Kok Twelve Golden Hairpins, and Chen Yanni two other sworn sisters who were also among the Twelve Golden Hairpins.
"Sister Wen, what brings you here..." Before Scribe Tan could finish his question, Chen Yanni, who was following behind Qi Weiwen, gave him a look that said, "You've got a problem." Sure enough, when Qi Weiwen saw Scribe Tan come up to greet him, he ignored him completely and went straight to Nine-Tattooed Dragon, who was lying on the ground. He reached out and touched the other man's legs. Nine-Tattooed Dragon was stunned when he saw Qi Weiwen: "Sister Wen, what brings you here?"
