"Living in the Cloud Palace Hotel, he'll never be able to leave the house again, and Foreign Devil Britain won't be able to protect him forever!"
"So what if he's Mr. Chu? Chan Ah-sap of Chao Yong Yi was shot dead! Maybe Mr. Chu will come here to settle scores with Song Tianyao anyway!"
"Even the Governor of Hong Kong couldn't protect Song Tianyao!"
These words may not have much effect, but they are enough to stabilize people's hearts. This is a challenge launched by the gangsters against the tycoon. If people's hearts are not stable, they will be defeated without even fighting. You know, people in the underworld try to avoid provoking the rich. Even if Song Tianyao's foundation is not stable, his wealth is there. If he hadn't gone too far this time, these people wouldn't have had to resort to such a desperate measure.
At this time, dozens of core members of Hong Kong gangs were scattered at both ends of Queen's Road. The news that Song Tianyao had used the Britain to arrest their boss had already spread. The solution these people thought of was to capture Song Tianyao and use him to exchange for their boss. If Song Tianyao refused to cooperate, then they would have to take his life and let others know the consequences of making an enemy of the entire gang.
The gang had already found a scapegoat and issued a death order: Song Tianyao had to be captured or killed. Even if Lam Kong and a few police officers were to fire their guns, these men would have to charge through the bullets and carry out the mission. They would kill anyone who stood in their way. These uncles and elders were too old to personally participate in the operation and were happy to give their men some empty words to boost their morale.
Just then, a black Rolls-Royce sped across the intersection, drifting and kicking up a spray of water, before coming to a stop outside the Cloud Palace Hotel.
This gang of gangsters didn't know the origin of the car, and they didn't dare to stop it without getting an order. They had to ask a few old people again. An old man with thinning and gray hair and wearing a double-breasted Tang suit was the first to speak:
"Who cares who he is? Song Tianyao is alone, so he can only get in one car. Stop whichever car is carrying him. Ignore the others! Tell the brothers to block the road!"
The order issued from under the umbrella was like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing endless ripples. Upon receiving the order, the men in raincoats at both ends of the street dropped the tarpaulins covering their long knives, which were washed away by the rain. The blades flashed like snow, and the killing intent soared to the sky. The shadows on both sides of Queen's Road's Road immediately expanded, slowly spreading towards the Cloud Palace. Unless a road roller was brought in, even if the driver could disregard human lives and floor the accelerator, he would not be able to break through this wall of flesh and blood.
Just then, Song Tianyao led Qi Weiwen and Lu Yuanchun out of the hotel. Lu Yuanchun stared at the shadows in the distance, his expression unchanged, but his breathing became somewhat rapid. Qi Weiwen snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "These martial arts people are really... Can't they understand? Since A-Yao dared to take care of those martial arts Big Brother, why would he be afraid of you coming to his door?"
Song Tianyao ignored the martial arts figures on either side, instead focusing on the black Rolls-Royce parked five steps away outside the door. He raised his hands, rubbed his face vigorously, and then forced a bright smile:
"Big Brother, didn't we agree that you'd pretend to be a Black Jockey and seduce the pretty girl, and you'd leave after you succeeded? Why are you back so soon? Did the pretty girl embarrass you for being too bad at kung fu?"
Just then, Chu Xiaoxin's car door opened, A Wai and Yan Hung got out first, opening two umbrellas. Chu Xiaoxin, now dressed in a sharp suit, stepped out of the car and looked at Song Tianyao, who was dressed in a Black Jockey uniform, with a serious expression, meeting Song Tianyao's gaze.
Song Tianyao's smile slowly faded, but Chu Xiaoxin's smile gradually returned, finally becoming as bright as Song Tianyao's when he spoke. He reached out and waved to Song Tianyao, saying, "I'm hungry, let's go get some late-night snacks."
Chapter 522 From now on, you are no longer my brother
Although his men were holding umbrellas for him, Lam Kong's body, including the cigarette in his mouth, was soaked by the rain in order to lean forward and see and hear Song Tianyao and Chu Xiaoxin's reactions tonight. He didn't even notice the rain. His eyes were fixed on the two men staring at each other. He couldn't understand why the usually rational Song Tianyao had suddenly changed his temperament and become increasingly reckless, leading him to this dangerous situation tonight.
Lam Kong disregarded the half-hidden, half-revealed figures of the martial arts world outside. Whether they openly brandished their weapons and blocked the road, or continued to plot like wandering ghosts in the shadows, they couldn't harm Song Tianyao's core. The most dangerous thing tonight was what Song Tianyao and Chu Xiaoxin said and did. Lam Kong hoped Song Tianyao wouldn't let him guess wrong again. Although he had expressed his stance in the restaurant—that even if Song Tianyao insisted on going his own way, he was prepared to follow him to the end—who truly wanted the person they followed to fall and never recover?
Before the shadow of the gangsters completely blocked the road, a Chevrolet Corvette with bright lights and splashes of water rolled up by its four wheels came from far away on the avenue, but stopped slightly in the distance. As if to show its presence, it flashed its lights twice, attracting the attention of everyone on the avenue to the lights of the car. However, after the car stopped, it simply turned off the engine and lights, and the faces of the people in the car could not be seen at all.
Lam Kong spat out the wet cigarette butt from his mouth, took half a step back under the umbrella, and tilted his head towards the newly approaching car in the distance. His two subordinates immediately turned around and focused their attention on that car.
Lam Kong took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it again, and put it in his mouth. He looked at the group of martial arts figures a few dozen steps away. Although it was dark, he could barely make out the familiar faces standing at the front, with their rain hats off, thanks to the gas streetlights on Queen's Road. They belonged to different gangs and even had past grudges, but now they stood side by side with knives in hand.
Normally, these gangsters wouldn't dare disrespect him, but now that so many gangs are ganging up on him, it's hard to say whether his Senior Detective Sergeant status will be of any use. If they really turn on him, he's not confident he can protect Song Tianyao with just his few pistols. Chu Xiaoxin's Justice of the Peace status is like a get-out-of-jail-free card; as long as Song Tianyao gets in his car, he can keep him safe.
Originally, Lan Gang was still worried about whether Chu Xiaoxin would take on this trouble for Song Tianyao. Now that Chu Xiaoxin said he wanted to go for supper with Song Tianyao, he was relieved. Chu Xiaoxin's identity was here, as long as Song Tianyao Tianyao got into Chu Xiaoxin's car. These Jianghu people would never take action. They would only notify Chao Yongyi and communicate with the Chu family through Chao Yongyi to ask the Chu family to hand over Song Tianyao. But by that time, Song Tianyao should have taken care of them long ago.
