"This is none of your business. Let's go, go to the police station and get some rest." Huang Liu patted Yan Hung's shoulder and forced a smile, "Thanks for your hard work, Brother Hung."
When Huang Liu called him "Brother Hung," Yan Hung was quite flattered. He knew Huang Liu's status by Song Tianyao's side. Not to mention Yan Hung, even Song Tianyao's woman, Meng Wanqing, might not be as close to Song Tianyao as Huang Liu.
"Brother Six, I offered a bonus of 500,000. Bo Cong is interested. He's always bold and meticulous, so there shouldn't be any problem," Yan Hung said to Huang Liu.
Huang Liu opened the car door and got out. "Let's drive back to the police station. Don't worry, no matter how much it costs, you won't have to pay out of your own pocket."
Yao Chunxiao, Ah Si, Ah Gen, and Ah Shun also got out of the back seat of the car that Yan Hung had driven and dispersed to the side of the street.
Yan Hung sensed something unusual, but he didn't dare to ask.
Huang Liu, leaning against the passenger door, winked at Yan Hung: "Let's go, don't worry about what happens next."
Yan Hung wisely started the car and drove away from Shek Tong Tsui. Huang Liu, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked around and walked towards the entrance of the Mei Yin Guild Hall.
Mei Yin Guild Hall is a club owned by Harmony Heroes and Bo Cong, a place that combines alcohol, sex, gambling, and drugs. If you're just an ordinary poor person or a drug addict, even if you push open the door, you'll be immediately kicked out by Harmony Heroes's men in the lobby. Huang Liu, dressed in an expensive suit and smoking a cigarette, pushed open the door Harmony Heroes's underlings inside could even ask a question, he had already handed over a hundred-yuan bill between his fingers and said arrogantly:
"First, set up a table for a banquet in the main hall, then find two pretty young women to keep you company. After that, book a private room, get the opium pipe ready, and make sure it's India opium. If you dare to try to fob me off with Thailand opium, you're as good as dead!"
The waiter who walked over to the lobby received a hundred-yuan bill before he could even speak. His face lit up with joy, and he stuffed the bill into his pocket. "Boss, is this your first time? Any dietary restrictions? Do you have a girl you like?"
"Ah Shun introduced me here, saying I could have a couple of puffs here to relieve my boredom, and the girls are pretty good too. But if all the girls look like you later, you'd better be prepared to get beaten up by me along with Ah Shun!" Huang Liu said impatiently after looking the other person up and down.
The waiter's smile remained unchanged, "Is that Ah Shun, the rickshaw puller? Don't worry, don't worry, Ah Shun is one of our own brothers, boss. I guarantee you'll be happy. Come with me, is there a banquet in the main hall? Please."
The waiter led Huang Liu to the back of the restaurant and invited him to sit down at a table for ten. It was already getting dark, and several other tables were already occupied. Huang Liu swaggered to the head of the table, slammed a wad of cash on it, and arrogantly said, "Open a bottle of France red wine for me first, and have my girl wash up and come keep me company."
"Right away, right away, let the waiter make you a pot of tea, I'll arrange it for you right away." The waiter's eyes widened when he saw the stack of banknotes, his smile widened even more, and he turned around and almost ran to make arrangements for this big spender, Huang Liu.
The movements were swift; in no time, the food and drinks were served one after another, and a bottle of France red wine was opened and brought out. A charming young hostess poured half a glass of wine into Huang Liu 'Huang Liu crystal glass and held it to his lips. "Boss, would you like a drink?"
"Go get a few more bowls and chopsticks. This table is full of food; am I the only one eating? You all should join in," Huang Liu said, pushing his wine glass aside and lighting a cigarette.
The waiter brought over several more sets of cutlery. Huang Liu was repeatedly urged to drink by the three hostesses, but he refused to touch a single dish or drop of alcohol. Leaning back in his chair, a cigarette dangling from his lips, he looked displeased. The three hostesses exchanged glances, and one of them pressed her ample bosom against Huang Liu's arm, saying softly, "Boss, the food and drinks are so plentiful, and we sisters are all serving you, yet you don't even glance at them. Something's on your mind?"
"What's the point of telling you my troubles? I heard the owner of this club is a cripple? For a cripple to be able to create such a situation, he must be quite capable," Huang Liu asked arrogantly.
Although Bo Cong was indeed lame, at the Mei Yin Guild Hall, besides himself, who dared to say he was lame? Hearing Huang Liu say this, the three hostesses looked at each other and dared not utter a sound.
The waiter standing in the distance frowned slightly, wondering if Huang Liu had come to the Mei Yin Guild Hall on purpose to cause trouble.
Huang Liu yawned, then glanced at his watch. "Let's eat."
"Brother Xiao, the thirty men Lee Kuen arranged have arrived. They're all unfamiliar faces. The boss personally helped with the selection, and Lei Danzi's Boat Gang transport them. There are no records of them. Each of them has a machete. After they finish their work, they'll immediately take a boat back to Macau." Ah Shun slowly approached Yao Chunxiao and whispered.
Squatting on the street, head down, Yao Chunxiao, gulping down a bowl of mixed noodles, looked like a typical laborer finishing his workday. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Tell Ah Si and Ah Gen again, don't touch the short dog. Tell Lee Kuen's men to remember to shout that they're from Wo On Lok when they rush in. Then wait for my signal at the street corner. When you see me return the bowl to the food stall owner, get ready to make your move. I'll take care of that cripple."
"I know." Ah Shun slowly walked back to Ah Si's side at the end of the street and repeated Yao Chunxiao's instructions.
Yao Chunxiao continued squatting on the street eating noodles. When the hands of his watch, hidden by his tattered sleeves, pointed to seven o'clock, Yao Chunxiao stood up and handed the empty bowl he had finished eating to the food stall owner.
As the empty bowl left Yao Chunxiao's hand, a group of people emerged from the end of the street, wielding gleaming machetes, and swiftly surged towards the entrance of the Mei Yin Guild Hall.
Ah Si and Ah Gen took the lead, kicking open the door of the Mei Yin Guild Hall. The waiter inside had just approached when he saw the machetes in the two men's hands. It was too late to turn and run. Ah Si swung his machete upwards, slashing the waiter in the chest, then kicked him away, cursing:
"You old cripple! How dare you mess with the Shui Fong people? Kill them!"
Dozens of people surged in like a tide after he spoke, indiscriminately hacking at anyone they saw. Even the Guan Gong statue in the hall, adorned with embroidered shoes, was knocked over and shattered!
