Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1129 1115 [King of Kowloon]

"boom!"

The moment the Boeing 747 tore through the clouds, Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport was boiling!
Thirty reporters frantically wiped their cameras. The security captain pulled his tie and yelled, "Fuck you! Didn't they say that only family members would come to pick them up? What's going on with all these cars?!"

Under the scorching sun, the first wave of convoys rolled across the tarmac like a golden dragon.

A Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with the badge of Earl of the British Empire inserted on the front of the car. The moment the window was lowered, everyone in the audience gasped!

“It’s the license plate number Taipingshan 1!”

Du Dapao's rosewood cane slammed into the ground with a "bang", and the golden pocket watch chain emitted a dazzling arc of light.

The three-inch-wide dragon and phoenix bracelet on Li Cuilian's wrist slammed against the car door with a clang, and the jade earrings shook the paparazzi's camera so hard that it exploded into snowflakes!
Du Dapao himself is not a low-key person. Over the years, he has finally become a qualified and successful person relying on his own abilities. However, to the outside world, his biggest halo is still "Du Yongxiao's dad."

Now, even in order to save face for his son, Du Dapao has to act like a super rich man. This is in stark contrast to his previous life of being penniless. Now he uses a cane, wears a suit, carries a pocket watch, and drives a luxury car. He is extremely luxurious.

The same is true for Li Cuilian. She now lives a life of luxury, with servants serving her in food, clothing, housing and transportation. She is covered in jewels and looks very noble from a distance.

Du Yongshun, the younger brother of Du Yongxiao, was also very expensively dressed. He had a slight mental disability and a silly smile on his face, which was totally inconsistent with his gorgeous attire.

The gold-plated lighter between Du Dapao's fingers "popped" and emitted a blue flame, reflecting the crystal brooch on his daughter Du Yongmei's Chanel suit and making it burst into colorful light. The onlookers screamed: "Du's little sister is so beautiful! That Chanel suit costs 100,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"This bad boy is finally back!" Li Cuilian muttered to herself as she looked at her son's private plane, with joy in her eyes.

"That's right. This bad guy has been away for so many years, and I thought he didn't want this family anymore!" Du Dapao complained while smoking a cigarette.

At this time, the Du family was already considered a celebrity among celebrities in Hong Kong. This family, who came out of the slums, never dreamed that one day they would become a benchmark for Hong Kong's big families.

"Look! What is that?" someone suddenly shouted.

When the reporters saw the rushing black torrent, their cameras were almost broken.

Twenty black Mercedes formed a black torrent and rushed directly to the airport.

Du Yongxiao's "godson", Yan Xiong, the famous executive manager of the Du Group and the legendary chief steward, was the first to get out of the car.

He was originally on a business trip in South Korea with Du Yongxiao, but due to the busy affairs in Hong Kong, he returned to Hong Kong earlier than Du Yongxiao. Now that he heard that his godfather Du Yongxiao was back, he drove over as soon as possible to welcome Du Yongxiao.

Following closely behind Yan Xiong is Liu Luanxiong, the tycoon of Hengchuang Real Estate under the Du Group.

As a person promoted by Du Yongxiao, he and Du Yongxiao had once had many grievances with each other, but in the end Du Yongxiao forgave him and continued to trust him to develop Tokyo real estate.

In the real estate industry, Liu Jianxiong is now like a fish in water. Not only does he control one-third of the real estate in Tokyo, he has also expanded his business to Osaka, Nagoya and other places. He is called "Japan's No. 1 real estate tycoon" by the Japanese.

The number one real estate tycoon in Japan was arrogant and domineering in front of all his peers, and even more arrogant when facing the Japanese, but now he was waiting with a respectful look on his face to greet Du Yongxiao, his master.

The luxury car behind Liu Jianxiong was driven by the Macau entertainment tycoon Bai Mudan! That's right, Bai Mudan now dominates the entire Hong Kong and Macau gaming industry with Macau Entertainment, and is known as the "female gambling king".

This female gambling queen treats any man rudely outside, and even looks down on those wealthy tycoons who pursue her, but at this moment her beautiful eyes are full of surprise and expectation, because she is about to meet the man she has been thinking about day and night and will submit to for the rest of her life.

"Mr. Du, you're finally back!" The female gambling queen of Macau looked at the private plane that had landed, her red lips slightly parted, and her voice numbed half the runway.

The third wave of whistles made the ground shake!

Ten stretched Lincolns crashed through the heat wave.

The first person to arrive at the scene was Du Yongxiao’s good brother, Huo Zhentingquan, the eldest son of the Hong Kong Huo family!
After not seeing him for just over a year, Huo Zhenting has become more mature and stable. The years have smoothed out his edges, giving him a bit of the wisdom of his father, Mr. Huo.

Following closely behind Ho Chun-ting are the "Kowloon Bus King" Lei Jue-kun, the "Hong Kong Shipping King" Pao Yue-kong, and the "Hong Kong Jewelry King" Cheng Yu-tong.

The onlookers' throats were dry: "Pun Ni Amu! These big guys usually have to bid for newspaper ads, but today they are all acting as welcoming boys?!"

"Who said it wasn't? Du Yongxiao had a very good relationship with them back then. Now that Du Yongxiao is back, of course they have to be the first to greet him!"

"Fuck you! You can only see this kind of lineup once in your lifetime!"

Citizens were talking about it and marveling at the breathtaking airport reception scene.

Suddenly, sirens tore through the sky!

Fifty police motorcycles lined up in a goose formation.
"I'm coming!"

"I choose! It turns out to be the famous Five Tiger Generals under Du Yongxiao!"

The citizens burst into screams.

The Five Tigers under Du Yongxiao are household names in Hong Kong.

The witty and changeable Datou Wen, the hot-tempered Doujiqiang, the vicious and ruthless Bucktooth Ju, the handsome Zhuang Dingxian, and the righteous Ren Darong.

Any one of these five people can write a new legend about the Hong Kong police force, but these powerful people now appear collectively to welcome their boss - Du Yongxiao.

The police motorcade was absolutely impressive.

Those media reporters didn't dare to take pictures of them at will.

The onlookers stayed far away, fearing to offend these police elites.

"Is it almost ready? There are so many people picking us up at the airport--"

"Yeah, most of Hong Kong's celebrities are here, there won't be any sharper ones, right?"

The citizens murmured quietly, thinking that the scene before them was already shocking enough, enough for the Du family to brag about for the rest of their lives, and enough for them, the spectators, to be amazed for the rest of their lives, and it was impossible for any big shot to appear again -
At this time-
A burst of car horns pierced the airport——

The moment the Governor's car slowly stopped, the whole place was in dead silence!

"Ahem, am I seeing things?"

"Oh my god, even the Governor of Hong Kong came to pick me up at the airport?"

"No, no, no, it's not just the Governor, but the entire senior management!"

Amidst bursts of exclamations, Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose led the judicial bigwig Sir Edward Barrymore, the three secretaries, Legislative Council members and others, and they got out of the car like a long dragon and headed towards Du Yongxiao's special plane.

Look at the special plane again——
Boom!
The hatch is open!
Du Yongxiao, dressed in white, appeared in front of everyone.

His sharp eyes burned the eyes of all the colonists!
Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose took the initiative to walk up the stairs to greet Du Yongxiao.

The moment MacLehose saw Du Yongxiao extending his hand, Du Yongxiao slowly shook it and said to the Governor with a smile: "I'm back!" MacLehose nodded: "Yes, welcome back!"

Du Yongxiao smiled and leaned close to MacLehose's ear and asked in a low voice: "Are you really welcome?"

Murray MacLehose looked a little unhappy, his toes digging into the soles of his custom-made leather shoes.

He remembered the secret telegram from Downing Street that "special regulations may be used when necessary", but the pressure that Du Yongxiao felt at close range at this moment made him finally understand why the Queen would award the honor to this young Chinese man.

MacLehose adjusted his mood and replied with a smile: "Of course, dear Du."

Du Yongxiao then let go of his hand, and then raised his right hand towards MacLehose.

"Snapped!"

Du Yongxiao saluted MacLehose as the Commissioner of Police, and then looked around at the foreigners behind MacLehose.
"From today on." Du Yongxiao slowly lowered his fingertips and chuckled, "Here, I'm in charge!"

……

The moment the door of Du Yongxiao's private plane opened, the paparazzi on both sides of the runway had already set up 300mm telephoto lenses.

When Du Yongxiao appeared on the runway in a white shirt, the entire press area erupted in a tsunami of shutter sounds.

"Du Sheng, look here!"

"Mr. Du, please say a few words!"

The microphones of more than two dozen media outlets almost poked into the crowd.

However, the "Five Tigers" responsible for welcoming Du Yongxiao did not give these media reporters any chance. After Du Yongxiao exchanged greetings with Governor Murray MacLehose, Fok Chun-ting and others, they immediately escorted Du Yongxiao and his family into the car, with a police car leading the way, and sped towards Victoria Peak.

The moment Du Yongxiao got on the car, he heard a female reporter's shout, so he subconsciously turned around and looked at her--
The female reporter was pushed down in the crowd, and Du Yongxiao gestured to help her stand up.

Only then did the female reporter see Du Yongxiao and the pair of eyes that Oriental Daily described as "the deepest water in Victoria Harbour".

In an instant-
The female reporter from Ming Pao felt her legs go weak as she was 30 meters away. Fortunately, she was supported by someone, otherwise she would have fallen again.

"Idiot! You didn't even know how to use such a good opportunity!" King, the photography director of Ming Pao's old competitor Sing Tao Daily, who was hiding in the crowd, hurriedly pressed the shutter to take a picture of Du Yongxiao turning around, and said excitedly: "Headline, I will definitely be the headline this time! No one else caught Du Yongxiao, only me, hahahaha!!!"

……

Hung Hom Tunnel——
"Attention all taxi drivers in Hong Kong! Attention all taxi drivers in Hong Kong!" Ah Chang's hand holding the intercom was throbbing with veins popping out, and the taxi was snaking in the Hung Hom Tunnel. "I saw Master Du Sheng! Just three minutes ago, his motorcade drove past me!"

Dozens of voices exploded in the intercom: "Your mother is talking nonsense!"

“Is the license plate HK1?”

"Achang, are you possessed by evil spirits?"

"It's absolutely true!" Ah Chang stepped on the accelerator, and the needle on the dashboard approached the red zone. "I'm telling you, Mr. Du glanced at me while sitting in the car. He looked even more handsome than in the newspapers! Oh, by the way! You may not believe it, but the moment he looked at me, I couldn't even hold the steering wheel steadily..."

There was a sudden screeching sound of brakes in the tunnel.

Seven or eight taxis rear-ended each other and crashed into each other. The drivers leaned out of their windows and continued to yell, "Where did Mr. Du go?"

"Have you seen the legendary Du family convoy?"

……

at the same time--
The news that Du Yongxiao had returned to Hong Kong had spread throughout Hong Kong.

"Snapped!"

In the private room of Lu Yu Tea House in Kowloon, the special issue of Ming Pao was slammed heavily on the sandalwood table.

Li Jiacheng, a tycoon of Hong Kong's Cheung Kong Group, stared at the front-page photo, took off his glasses and wiped the lenses vigorously. "He is back after all! I heard that he reorganized the top ten chaebols in South Korea, and even the Blue House was established by him! Awesome, really awesome!"

Li Zhaoji, the tycoon of Henderson Land Development across the street, held a cigar between his legs and exhaled a puff of smoke, his finger swiping across the third page of the newspaper: "It's unbelievable! The newspaper said that in order to escape Du Yongxiao's economic sanctions, the top ten chaebols in South Korea actually knelt together in Du Sheng's villa for three hours, just to ask for a meeting? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

After Li Zhaoji finished speaking, he suddenly found that the dial of his Rolex Daytona was covered with a layer of mist. It turned out that cold sweat had soaked his shirt.

Li Zhaofu, the boss of Far East Securities, who was sitting in the far corner, suddenly yelled, "More than that, look at this part - Mr. Du is building Silicon Valley in California, and the Washington government personally approved the land and praised him as a good friend worth making friends with! Those foreigners in Washington are always arrogant and have never spoken in this tone."

The words fell to the ground——
The table full of shrimp dumplings suddenly became deserted, and ten golden spoons clinked among the dishes.

……

Nathan Road, 37 Cai Shi Street
The incense hall at the Fourteenth K Hall was filled with smoke.

Ah Gui with the Double Flower and Red Stick stared at the front page of Oriental Daily. The fingers holding the cigar suddenly trembled violently, and the ash fell in front of the statue of Guan Erye.

"Boss, is this Du Yongxiao really that arrogant?" The newly recruited 49er, Ah B, came over with a toothpick in his mouth, "I read in the newspaper that he was just a thug wearing rubber shoes ten years ago."

"Shut up!" Ah Gui suddenly jumped up, and the copper ashtray flew past Ah B's ear and made a dent in the wall.

Twenty or so gangsters in the incense hall stood up straight in unison.

Ah Gui ripped open his shirt, revealing three centipede-like scars running from his collarbone to his abdomen. "Ten years ago, Du Yongxiao was just a plainclothes inspector and wanted to dominate Nathan Road. I led fifty of my brothers to surround him. On that rainy night," he suddenly coughed violently, as if he was going to vomit out his lungs, "and ended up being surrounded by his men. In the end, his subordinate Ran Mingkun broke three of my ribs with his bare hands. When blood and rain covered my eyes, I vaguely heard Du Yongxiao say, 'It's time for the night in Hong Kong to get brighter.'"

The red candle on the incense table suddenly burst into sparks, and Guan Erye's Green Dragon Crescent Blade flashed a cold light.

……

In the cramped alleys of Kowloon Walled City——
Seventy-year-old Grandma Chen lit three incense sticks tremblingly.

The deity enshrined on the shrine was not Guanyin or Wong Tai Sin, but a yellowed newspaper clipping - "Mr. Du Yongxiao donated to build the 18th nursing home."

“It’s good that Mr. Du is back…” Tears welled up in the old lady’s cloudy eyes as she looked at the neon sign that suddenly lit up outside the window.

The flashing signs of "Yongxiao Charity Hospital" and "Yongxiao Middle School" form a starry sky under the night sky.

Suddenly, a primary school student's voice was heard from the tenement building opposite: "...Mr. Du taught us that the spirit of Hong Kong is the fire under the Lion Rock..."

Back then, Du Yongxiao took over the Kowloon Walled City and carried out demolition and reconstruction, allowing the people here to get rid of the life worse than pigs and dogs in the past. To them, gods and Buddhas could not save them, but Du Yongxiao did it, so Du Yongxiao is their god, their Buddha!
Yes!

Du Yongxiao is from Kowloon Walled City-——
Buddha comes to every family!
