Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Axiao, how are you? Are things going smoothly?"

Lei Luo invited Du Yongxiao to sit down in the VIP room and asked.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "It's very good. Everyone is very positive and enthusiastic."

Lei Luo smiled and sat down with Yan Xiong and others.

Here, Laihao asked people to prepare hot pot, fat beef, tripe slices, sashimi, chicken gizzards, soy sauce beef balls, enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, lettuce and other hot dishes, as well as white wine. When everything was ready, he said to Du Yongxiao: "Mr. Du, you must have never tasted the authentic hot pot here in the United States for so long. I can satisfy you tonight."

"Yeah, Americans only like to eat hamburgers and fries, and I'm really fed up with that."

Du Yongxiao picked up the wine glass, and Lan Gang quickly stood up to help him pour the Maotai wine and said: "Pair hot pot with white wine. The more you eat, the better!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

After a while, the hot pot started rolling, and Lai Hao began to add the hot-boiled vegetables into it.

Here Lei Luo said to Du Yongxiao: "Axiao, we have been staying in Hong Kong for a long time and will go back soon. There are some things that I need your help with before going back -"

Before Lei Luo could speak, Du Yongxiao raised his glass and said: "Brother Luo, you and I are brothers and friends. We should help each other. But, you also know that I can't help myself now. There are some things I can help with. But I can’t help, you should understand——”

"Uh, this--" Lei Luo was stunned for a moment and looked at Lan Gang and Han Sen.

When Yan Xiong saw this, he chuckled and said: "Aluo, actually my godfather also said that he can't help himself now. If you just ask for some small help, it's okay. Even if he doesn't open his mouth, I can do it." I'll help you do it; but if you want him to do something beyond the specifications... there are many eyes staring at him now, waiting for him to make mistakes, you won't let him be caught because of you, right?"

Yan Xiong's words left Lei Luo speechless.

Lei Luo originally planned to ask Du Yongxiao to help pardon some of his old buddies, such as his former subordinate Zeng Datou, and Zhang Heigou who helped him collect debts, etc.

These people also took bribes and embezzled money, and then fled abroad. They are still wanted by the Hong Kong government.

Lei Luo felt that if Du Yongxiao became the police chief, he could use his power to pardon them.

Who would have thought that Du Yongxiao would block his mouth with one mouthful, making him unable to speak.

Lan Gang and Han Sen had the same plan. They originally wanted to use Du Yongxiao's official power to benefit their veteran subordinates, but now it seems that this is not feasible.

Yan Xiong is cunning and cunning, and he has been against Lei Luo for so many years. He knows what to do when Lei Luo sticks his butt out, and of course he wants to help his godfather avoid these "trouble".

As an outsider, Lame Hao can see things more clearly.

The everlasting friendship between Du Yongxiao, Lei Luo and others is expected to end today.

After all, Lei Luo and the others were wanted criminals before, but Du Yongxiao was the newly appointed police chief. How could an official and a thief be brothers?

Thinking of this, Lai Hao fished out a piece of fat beef with public chopsticks, put it on Lei Luo's plate himself, and said with a smile: "A Luo, eat the fat beef first! To be honest, the taste of the fat beef now is different from before. It was fat before." Tender beef is cheap and you only need three to five yuan to eat. Now, the price of fresh and fat beef has increased. If you want to eat it, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money!"

Lei Luo couldn't tell there was something in Lame Hao's words. Since the other party gave him the chance to step down, he smiled and said: "What I'm saying is that if you want to eat good food, you have to be willing to spend money!" After speaking, he looked at Du Yong Xiaodao: "Axiao, just pretend that I haven't said it before. Come on, let's eat food first!"

…

The big bone hot pot is steaming.

The shabu-shabu dishes are put into the pot one by one.

Everyone was sweating profusely after eating.

After a few glasses of Moutai, everyone's cheeks were flushed, including Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Everyone quickly followed up with a toast and clinked glasses.

Du Yongxiao took down the cup, took out a napkin to wipe his mouth, threw it aside and said, "Whoever has a cigarette, come with one."

Lei Luo, Yan Xiong, Lai Hao and others were busy digging around on themselves. Finally, Lan Gang moved quickly and took out a box of Marlboros and handed it to Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao took the cigarette and nodded: "Thank you."

Yan Xiong, who was watching next to him, sighed sadly and thought to himself: "How could I forget this, but Lan Gang beat me to it?"

When Lan Gang saw Du Yongxiao taking his cigarette, he felt very happy for some reason.

Lei Luo could see clearly from the sidelines that Du Yongxiao's simple words made everyone rush and try their best to please him. Is this still the Axiao he once knew?

Du Yongxiao leaned on the chair, biting a Marlboro from the corner of his mouth. This time Yan Xiong moved very quickly, took out the lighter and clicked it, lighting Du Yongxiao's cigarette.

Du Yongxiao was smoking a cigarette, his eyes looking extremely blurred through the white mist of the hot pot.

Lei Luo looked at the looming Du Yongxiao through the white mist, and his heart was churning again.

Du Yongxiao used to be a small military policeman from Shixiawei, relying on his brains to become a plainclothes man. Without Lei Luo's protection, where would he be today?

Just when Lei Luo was feeling all sorts of things, Du Yongxiao suddenly said to him: "Brother Luo, do you really want to go back to Vancouver?"

"Yeah, if I stay here too long, I'm afraid something will happen to the Huaqing Gang."

Du Yongxiao nodded, holding a cigarette and said: "You have no nostalgia for Hong Kong?"

"It's a lie to say I'm not nostalgic." Lei Luo said with a bitter smile, "Originally some brothers wanted to ask me to help, but unfortunately I couldn't do it."

"Sometimes you have to make a choice." Du Yongxiao said, "Since you have already planned to leave Hong Kong, why do you need to be greedy for the people and things here?"

"I am a human being, and I have feelings as a human being, not to mention those people who have been with me for so many years." Lei Luo looked at Du Yongxiao with a hint of hope, hoping that Du Yongxiao would change his mind.

Du Yongxiao flicked the ashes of his cigarette and leaned back on the chair with a comfortable posture, his eyes twinkling: "Soon, I will issue an 'atonement order' about those criminals who have escaped wanted overseas. If their crimes are not heinous, they can donate money." Atonement.”

"Uh, donate money to atone for your sins?" Lei Luo and others' eyes lit up.

"Yes, Hong Kong is in dire need of development now. Money is needed in many places, mainly in education, where funds are needed to build schools; and in public housing, more public houses need to be built and rented to the poor. All of these require large sums of money. investment, so atonement is the perfect solution to this problem.”

After Du Yongxiao finished speaking, he looked at Lei Luo and said: "Of course, this is just my personal idea. Whether it can be passed in the Hong Kong Governor's Office depends on the situation there - Brother Luo, there is only so much I can do for you now. "

Du Yongxiao's last words made Lei Luo feel a little moved. He looked at Du Yongxiao again, and he understood that this was also the last time Du Yongxiao helped him.

Yes, Du Yongxiao had just finished reorganizing the world, and there was only so much he could do to deal with those wanted criminals who were running away, just to give Lei Luo face.

Lei Luo understands, and so do Lan Gang and Han Sen.

As bystanders, Yan Xiong and Lai Hao could see more clearly that the friendship between Lei Luo and Du Yongxiao ended here!

"Come on, Director Du! Thank you for your help, let me toast you!" Lei Luo stood up and picked up the wine glass. The "A Xiao" he once said became "Director Du".

Everyone stands up.

Du Yongxiao then slowly stood up, raised his wine glass and invited Lei Luo: "Do it!"

this moment---

Du Yongxiao's attitude is high.

Lei Luo's posture is low.

The good brothers who were once had their status clear from now on, and Lei Luo no longer had the "filial piety" in his mouth!

…

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

Sir Bailiqu stood on the balcony of his villa, looking around, pounding his crutch against the ground.

Li Luofu stood behind him, not daring to breathe.

Next to him, Sir Bailiqu's men continued to report and inquire about the news.

"Then Du Yongxiao has finished handling the Jianghu affairs. Those Jianghu bosses have admitted their mistakes or surrendered to him directly..."

The subordinates reported the information in detail to Sir Bailiqu.

When he heard that those people in the world were frightened by Du Yongxiao's power, and even those engaged in pornography, gambling and drug addiction turned themselves in, Bailiqu felt a surge of anger in his stomach.

Originally, Sir Bailiqu learned that Du Yongxiao was going to hold a Jianghu conference, and wanted to use this opportunity to give Du Yongxiao a show of strength and let him know that the position of police chief was not that easy. After all, Jianghu people are all unruly people. , trying to tame them is even more difficult than climbing to the sky.

But he never expected that Bailiqu underestimated Du Yongxiao's ruthlessness.

Du Yongxiao once again used the method of "human massacre with bloody hands" and actually killed Zhu Meng, the 14th K gang boss, in front of so many people.

This move killed the chickens and warned the monkeys, directly shocking the whole audience, turning those unruly bosses into "good babies", fearing that they would become the ghosts of Du Yongxiao's gun.

As a result, these gangsters "surrendered" one after another, setting a record in Hong Kong's history.

Soon all media and magazines in Hong Kong will report on Du Yongxiao's "great achievements"————

"Director Du roared when he took office, and all the ghosts and monsters surrendered!"

"Du Yongxiao took office as the Commissioner of Police, purged the world, and all criminals surrendered!"

Thinking of this, Sir Bailiqu became even more angry.

By then Du Yongxiao's popularity will skyrocket again. Not to mention Bailiqu, even the Hong Kong Governor's Office may not be able to do anything to him.

If things continue like this, how can Hong Kong still be regarded as Hong Kong by the British? Du Yongxiao is the only one who can conquer the world!

"Can't we sue him? Sue him for killing innocent people indiscriminately?" Li Luofu frowned and said, "As long as someone is willing to come forward to testify, I think there is still a chance."

"Come out and testify?" Bailiqu didn't look back and sneered, "Now he is the police chief, the chief of the police force. I know that if those people want to sue him, where can they go? ?”

"This--" Li Luofu was stunned for a moment.

He is in charge of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and has great power, but this case has nothing to do with anti-corruption and he has no control over it.

Although Bailiqu is a judicial boss and holds judicial power, he is not qualified to take on this kind of case.

After much calculation, even if Du Yongxiao was sued for killing innocent people indiscriminately, the case would eventually be returned to Du Yongxiao's hands.

"Are we just going to watch him act lawless like this?" Li Luofu said angrily.

"It's not impossible to sue him. You can sue him to the Hong Kong Governor's Office, but the problem is-"

"What is it?" Li Luofu hurriedly looked at Bailiqu.

Bailiqu turned to look at Li Luofu with contempt in his eyes: "I know, who is so bold as to go to the Hong Kong government to file a complaint?"

"Huh?" Li Luofu was stunned.

Baili Qu continued: "I've been here for at least six or seven years, and I'm used to what you Chinese call human nature. You put things that have nothing to do with yourself, and everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door. No one is willing to stand up for others! Especially if the people do not fight with the officials, this has always been your rule of conduct, isn't it?"

"But---"

"But what?"

"But of all the big men in the world, don't any of them have the courage to resist his oppression?" Li Luofu couldn't help but ask.

Bailiqu sneered: "This is the second bad habit of you Chinese! You are used to being oppressed and ruled by the strong! Otherwise, you Hong Kong people would not have been ruled by us British for almost a hundred years!"

Bailiqu's words made Li Luofu blush.

Bailiqu continued: "No need to blush, in fact you Asians are all like this. Your traditional thinking has made you accustomed to being led and oppressed by the strong, and you have a kind of servility in your bones!"

"Sir Sir, you can't—"

"What can't be done? Can't talk about it?" Bailiqu walked towards Li Luofu.

Li Luofu looked at him without evading his eyes.

Bailiqu stared at him for two seconds, then reached out and patted his shoulder: "To be honest, you are the same."

"I?"

"Yes, aren't you a slave to us British people?"

"How could that be? I just work for the Independent Commission Against Corruption and I'm fighting corruption!" Li Luofu didn't want to be classified as a slave.

Bailiqu laughed, hahaha, very loudly, and then looked at Li Luofu: "Don't you think you are?"

This rhetorical question left Li Luofu speechless.

"What about Du Yongxiao? Isn't he also a slave? He is also helping the Hong Kong government!" Li Luofu thought for a while and asked loudly.

"Du Yongxiao?" Bailiqu held the crutch in both hands and leaned on the ground, with a cold look in his eyes: "Do you think he is helping the Hong Kong government?"

"Is not it?"

As soon as Li Luofu finished speaking, someone came over quickly to report: "Sir Sir, there is a new situation!"

"what's the situation?"

"Du Yongxiao submitted an order of atonement to the Hong Kong Governor's Office!" his subordinates reported, "Anyone who is absconding abroad, as long as they are not guilty of heinous crimes, can pay a certain amount of money to atone for their sins."

"For the Hong Kong Government and Hong Kong Construction, they can raise enough funds to open schools, build public rental housing, solve education problems, and people's livelihood problems -"

Immediately afterwards, the subordinates explained Du Yongxiao's "atonement order" in detail.

After listening, Li Luofu couldn't help but gasped, "Is this okay?"

Sir Bailiqu narrowed his eyes and kept flashing: "It's a good move to kill two birds with one stone, hitting both sides! If this atonement order is really formed, not only will those absconders be grateful to him, Du Yongxiao, but the people of Hong Kong will also regard him as a god." God, even the Hong Kong government must thank him for this unreasonable bill!"

Li Luofu suddenly felt uncomfortable all over. Du Yongxiao's endless tricks made it difficult for him to parry, no, he was completely unable to parry!

Bailiqu looked at Li Luofu with a sad expression: "Now do you still think he is our British slave? How can a slave teach his master to do things in this world? How can a slave lead his master by the nose?"

Li Luofu, said nothing.

Bailiqu sighed: "This Du Yongxiao is unpredictable. Now that the entire world of Hong Kong has been settled by him, and the police force is under his control, who can check and balance him? Who dares to offend him?"

There was dead silence, and no one answered his question.

Sudden--

"It may be difficult to check and balance him, but it's easy to offend him and make him make mistakes."

This sentence was said by Li Luofu.

"Huh?" Bailiqu looked at Li Luofu.

Li Luofu's eyes regained their luster, and he took a deep breath and said to Baili Channel: "Recently, a large group of gangs appeared and robbed gold shops in Hong Kong——"

"Oh?" Bailiqu's eyes lit up and he held his crutches with both hands, "What do you mean-"

"These gangsters are very rampant and well-trained. They had a fierce battle with the 14K before and almost crippled this society. You can imagine how strong their fighting power is!" Li Luofu licked his lips and said, "Now I just need you, old man. Join forces with the Hong Kong Governor's Office to put pressure on the Commissioner of Police, To Yongxiao, to completely eliminate the Big Circle Gang within a week..."

Li Luofu stopped talking, but Bailiqu already understood.

"Hahaha!" Bailiqu laughed, "Completely solve the problem of the Daquan Gang within a week? It is probably difficult even for gods to do it!"
