"But now everyone's saying that Yu Shiting wants to take him as his son-in-law..."

"Shut up! There are so many families in Hong Kong, A-Yao wouldn't have such bad taste in women!" Chu Xiaoxin snapped impatiently.

Yan Hung bowed his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Chu."

Yan Hung sat up straight and looked straight ahead.

The car made a turn onto Queen's Road, kicking up a large amount of rainwater, and then accelerated towards the Cloud Palace Hotel.

In the Old Cantonese Streets of Shau Kei Wan, Huang Liu and Sheng Zhaozhong's car slowly drove in. Huang Liu sat in the passenger seat, holding the radio for Sheng Zhaozhong. Sheng Zhaozhong operated the steering wheel with one hand and held the microphone in the other. "Have you found the warehouse?"

The static from the radio and the noise of the rain made his subordinate's voice somewhat unclear. "Locate the warehouse."

"First, survey the surroundings. Don't rush into action. Make sure there are no suspicious individuals around," Sheng Zhaozhong said.

"Received." The other end hung up.

Sheng Zhaozhong put the microphone back on the radio. Huang Liu patted the radio and clicked his tongue, "That's really exaggerated. So cautious? I already said there wasn't a single ghost in that Fish Market Warehouse. You don't believe me? I'll take some men in first, okay?"

Sheng Zhaozhong glanced at Huang Liu but said nothing.

Huang Liu put down the radio and reached for the car door. Gui Xiu Wen was in the back seat, saw Huang Liu's action and was also preparing to get out of the car. Sheng Zhaozhong slowly said, "Wait a moment."

Huang Liu stopped what he was doing, Sheng Zhaozhong Huang Liu him a pair of binoculars. "It's better to see more clearly."

Huang Liu paused slightly when he saw the binoculars, then smiled at Sheng Zhaozhong, "Looks like everyone's just wasting time. This play is really hard to perform. Can't continue? Hey, think about it. Anyway, it's just wasting time, not like it's really time to fall out."

"Your boss actually sent you to impersonate Han Chongshan, isn't that a bit too perfunctory?" Sheng Zhaozhong at Huang Liu: "Especially when you said you were Han Chongshan with that straight face, I couldn't help but wonder if the person I played chess with this afternoon was really you."

"I can't be in two places at once. My boss isn't like yours. He has hundreds of subordinates, but I'm the only person he can really use. Besides, it's just a formality anyway, so you should bear with it and cooperate with me." Huang Liu said with a grin to Sheng Zhaozhong, "Anyway, neither your boss nor my boss can possibly handle the other party right away tonight."

"The warehouse is real, you're fake. Song Tianyao's act is really interesting."

The two men in the front row were talking when the expressions of the two men in the back row changed. Sheng Zhaozhong's men subconsciously reached for the guns hidden in their waists, while Gui Xiu Wen also took out a small pistol from his body!

"Looks like my men didn't check carefully enough; how could they have brought a gun over like this?"

Huang Liu laughed, "You're no different. You said you've reached the vicinity of the warehouse, but there's still not a single person there. Even with the real goods and me, Mr. Song's confidant, we can't lure out Mr. Tam and your real men. Your patience is admirable; you're not greedy, which is rare."

Sheng Zhaozhong picked up a cigarette from the dashboard and handed it to Huang Liu. Huang Liu took one, and Sheng Zhaozhong kept one for himself. Huang Liu took out a match from his pocket, and Sheng Zhaozhong's men in the back row immediately drew their guns and pointed them at Huang Liu. Gui Xiu Wen also immediately pointed his gun at Sheng Zhaozhong. Huang Liu didn't even look at the two guns. He struck a match and handed it to Sheng Zhaozhong first. Sheng Zhaozhong bent down and lit the cigarette. Only then did Huang Liu light his own cigarette, take a deep drag, and look at Sheng Zhaozhong: "How are you going to explain this when we get back?"

Sheng Zhaozhong also took a deep drag on his cigarette, and almost a third of it turned to ash with that one deep drag. Sheng Zhaozhong stared at Huang Liu and suddenly blew the smoke into Huang Liu's face, and the closed car was immediately filled with smoke!

Huang Liu reached out and grabbed the right hand of Sheng Zhaozhong's subordinate, who was holding a pistol, and with a swift wrist twist, snatched the gun from his hand!

At the same time, Gui Xiu Wen also let out a muffled groan as Sheng Zhaozhong snatched the pistol from him! After the two had their guns, they simultaneously fired at each other's heads!

"Bang!" Two gunshots rang out simultaneously, though it sounded like only one shot! A bullet hole appeared in the window behind Sheng Zhaozhong! The windshield in front of Huang Liu's side was also shattered by a single shot! It was covered in cracks!

"Bang! Bang!" The two men exchanged gunfire in the cramped carriage! While dodging bullets, they tried to subdue each other with their free hands!

Huang Liu exhaled the smoke from his mouth toward Sheng Zhaozhong's face, while simultaneously grabbing the man's left hand with his left hand and pressing the pistol in his right hand almost against the man's face to pull the trigger!

The moment the smoke billowed out, Sheng Zhaozhong jerked his body backward! At the same time, his right hand slid down sharply, aiming to shoot Huang Liu in the abdomen!

Huang Liu quickly released his left hand, pressed down on Sheng Zhaozhong's pistol and slammed the muzzle down! With a "bang!", the bullet hit the seat in front of Huang Liu's crotch, leaving a bullet hole!

Because of this movement, the right hand's firing motion was a moment too slow, and the bullet grazed Sheng Zhaozhong's hair, missing its target!

Meanwhile, Sheng Zhaozhong the back row were also fighting with Gui Xiu Wen! Gui Xiu Wen was clearly no match for Sheng Zhaozhong's men. At this moment, his neck was wrapped with a hinge hidden in a ring. He could only turn red in the face, open his mouth wide, and try to break free by elbowing his opponent's ribs!

Sheng Zhaozhong grabbed Huang Liu's pistol! With a swift movement, he flicked Huang Liu's wrist. Huang Liu, thinking his gun was about to be taken away, instinctively pulled the trigger! The bullet struck Gui Xiu Wen squarely in the head! Gui Xiu Wen's body jolted, and he collapsed!

However, before Sheng Zhaozhong's men could unhook the chains and join the battle to fight Huang Liu with Sheng Zhaozhong, Huang Liu, while Sheng Zhaozhong was holding his wrist, had already used his left hand to try to pry off Sheng Zhaozhong's wrist that was holding the gun!

Sheng Zhaozhong tried to withdraw his hand, but it was too late. Huang Liu disarmed him with the same move. Sheng Zhaozhong felt pain in his wrist, and his fingers involuntarily tightened, pulling the trigger! He was killed along with his subordinate!

The next instant, the two men withdrew their guns, raised them, and pressed them against each other's foreheads! Without blinking, they pulled the triggers!

"Click!" The sound of a bullet missing its target!
