Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 966 09549 [Carrying a knife but not an umbrella on a rainy night]

Rumble!
A final thunderbolt fell from the sky.

Then, raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky.

The newly renovated "Yougui" restaurant in Hong Kong Island was under tight security at this time. In the cover of night, countless men in black were waiting densely inside and outside the restaurant, and the atmosphere was solemn.

A BMW sedan, escorted by more than twenty men in black, slowly drove to the bottom of the restaurant.

"The old new guy is here!"

"Yeah, I brought more than 20 people with me. I really think I'm going to show off my skills!"

"Speak softly, don't let Boss Xiang hear you, he's very petty!"

"What are you afraid of? Mr. Du called a meeting today. Does he dare to mess around?"

At the entrance, seven or eight gangsters were holding umbrellas and commenting on the vehicles that arrived.

They are all the confidants brought by the major societies this time, or they are elite backbones. When the boss holds a meeting, they wait outside waiting to be ordered.

A man in black holding an umbrella took out a lighter, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and said, "It's windy and rainy tonight, and I don't know what will happen."

"Yes, sometimes when things get out of hand, even the Governor of Hong Kong cannot control the situation, let alone a Commissioner of Police?" said another person.

"Everyone is afraid of the Governor, but he is more sharp than the Bloody Hands of the Governor, To Wing-hau, isn't he?"

As soon as these words came out, no one said anything.

This is a fact. Du Yongxiao has a "bad reputation" and is not comparable to Hong Kong Governor Murray MacLehose.

When everyone remained silent——
"Look, the Hutchison guys are here too!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly approaching. Thirty or so men in black escorted the big guys Zhen Guolong and Li Kuohua out of the car.

"Damn, Hutchison Whampoa is indeed the largest gang in Hong Kong. They actually brought over 30 people!"

"Li Kuohua is really amazing. He actually invited Zheng Guolong to come out of retirement!"

"Yes, this Zhenguolong is a member of the Big Knife Team. He has used a big knife to chop down the Japanese before. What kind of scenes has he not seen? He can be said to be a real Dinghai Shenzhen!"

Everyone started talking again and commenting on Hutchison's group.

The rain was getting heavier.

Soon, the troops from 14K, Liansheng and Hong Yihai also arrived.

Everyone focused their attention on Hong Yihai and his men.

This time, Hong Yihai boss Ni Kun did not bring many people with him. Including himself, there were a total of ten people, which was the smallest number among all the clubs.

"Did you see that? This is what they call a skilled and daring person! Hong Yihai only brought ten people with him, impressive!"

"What a bullshit! Who doesn't know that Ni Kun is Mr. Du's man? He is where he is today because of Mr. Du's support!"

"Yes, if it weren't for Mr. Du, Ni Kun would just be a stinky rickshaw driver!"

"What a pity!" someone said, "Ni Kun doesn't know what's good for him. He played such a good hand so badly!"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent again.

Almost everyone in the world knows the story of Hong Yihai and Ni Kun, and it has almost become a joke.

Nowadays, whenever we meet someone who is ungrateful and hopeless, we will laugh at him, “Do you want to learn from Ni Kun?” or call him “Kun Kun II” or say that he is “practicing Kun boxing”.

When Ni Kun got out of the car, Kuliqiang took the initiative to hold an umbrella for him.

Ni Kun had sharp ears and seemed to hear the discussions of the people around him. His expression changed and his eyes looked a little strange.

Kuliqiang had been with him for many years, so how could he not understand what he was thinking? He hurriedly said, "Brother Kun, don't listen to these idiots! They have nothing better to do than gossip here!"

Ni Kun looked gloomy as he walked towards the Gutiqi Restaurant. When he was almost at the door of the restaurant, he paused and suddenly asked Kuliqiang, "Am I really ungrateful?"

"Uh, Brother Kun, why do you ask that?"

"Mr. Du gave me so many chances, but I didn't seize them. Instead, I made him angry everywhere!" Ni Kun sighed, "Especially this time, I should have been the one to organize the Fuxing Society, but it was Su Long who got the upper hand."

Kuli Qiang nodded and said, "This Su Long is quite a smart guy. He took Yan Xiong as his master, which means Mr. Du is his master! After reorganizing the Fuxing Society, he actually established the Zhongxiao Society - listen to the name, Zhongxiao Society, doesn't it mean loyalty to Mr. Du? This is flattery, not concealed at all!"

Ni Kun smiled bitterly and said, "At least they know how to flatter. As for me, not only can I not flatter, but I also always make Mr. Du angry!"

"Brother Kun, don't blame yourself. To be honest, Mr. Du is very observant, and he doesn't blame you for many things!"

Snapped!
Ni Kun slapped himself.

"But I blame myself!"

After saying that, he walked straight towards the restaurant.

Kuliqiang was stunned for a moment, then hurried to catch up.

……

Compared to the heavy rain and the crowded crowds outside, the entire Youguqi restaurant seemed unusually quiet.

When the big guys from various societies meet, they just nod and say hello, then find a seat and sit down.

When Ni Kun entered, the big bosses of Xin Ji, He Ji, He Lian Sheng, 14K, Chang Le Gang and other gangs were already seated, either smoking or drinking tea.

Jianghu people don't have so many etiquettes. When they see Ni Kun, they just smile and nod. If they are on good terms with him, they will say, "You are here!"

Ni Kun found a seat and sat down, right between Zheng Guolong and Ge Tianwang.

Ni Kun saluted to Zheng Guolong and gestured to Ge Tianwang.

Zhenguolong, still strong and healthy, said with a smile: "Hurry up and sit down!"

King Ge looked melancholy and seemed to be troubled.

Ni Kun sat down and the restaurant waiter brought him some fragrant tea.

This "dignified" restaurant has basically been doing business with gangsters since its opening. Often, "martial arts conferences" are held in the gang, the two sides of a dispute drink "peace wine", or some big boss gets married, or any weddings or funerals, etc., all like to be held here.

It's not because the owner of this restaurant is so powerful or popular, but because this restaurant is the "Peace Hotel" specially designated by the "Emperor of Hong Kong" Du Yongxiao.

The "Peace Hotel" was originally a large hotel in Shanghai in the 1930s. This hotel has a great feature, which is that no matter what grudges or grudges people have, after coming to this hotel, all will be written off. Everyone is a customer, a consumer, and a friend. As for leaving this hotel, you can do whatever you want.

In this way, this "dignified" restaurant has become a "refuge" similar to the "Peace Hotel". Anyone who comes to stay here, no matter which gang they have offended, is not allowed to come and provoke trouble, but their safety after leaving cannot be guaranteed.

"A Kun, you are quite close to Mr. Du. Have you heard any news?" Zheng Guolong asked Ni Kun.

Ni Kun replied: "I don't know the details, I just got notified to come here for the gathering."

"Mr. Du, this is clearly a Hongmen Banquet - it's raining so hard, but they still require us to be present, otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself!" Zheng Guolong said, "Something big must be going to happen..."

"We'll know in a minute!" Ni Kun said, "Once Mr. Du comes, everything will become clear!"

"I hope so!"

Zhenguolong knew he couldn't get any more answers, so he stopped talking. At this time, there was another commotion at the door.

I heard someone say, "Why is Su Long, that traitor, here?"

"Keep your voice down. He is now the boss of Zhongxiao Society and has Yan Xiong's support."

When Yan Xiong was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

Everyone knows that behind Yan Xiong is Du Yongxiao.

Others could tolerate this, but Xinle'an boss Xiang couldn't. He snorted coldly, "What kind of world is this? A scoundrel can become a boss and dare to be on equal footing with us?"

"Calm down, Boss Xiang! He is no longer a member of your Xinle'an. Whatever you say is useless."

"Yeah, look at them now, they are strong and powerful! Huang Jun and Du Lianshun next to Su Long are not easy to mess with!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Have you seen that stupid boy? He is also Su Long's apprentice named Chen Yaoxing. He is the most popular recently! I heard that the card room in Bolan Street, Xinle'an, was just taken down by him!"

"What?" Boss Xiang was shocked. "Why don't I know?"

For him, he should be the first to know about this kind of thing, but now he heard it from someone next to him, which is really embarrassing.

"It just got out. Maybe you, Boss Xiang, are too busy to hear about it."

"Maybe those brothers are afraid of your punishment and dare not tell you..."

Upon hearing this, Boss Xiang was furious and immediately stared at the young and inexperienced Chen Yaoxing.

Chen Yaoxing followed behind the big boss Su Long. It was his first time attending such a conference. He felt it was very novel and exciting, and looked around from time to time.

Suddenly, he felt a pair of gazes like sharp swords piercing him, so he looked over and happened to meet Xiang's eyes.

If it were anyone else, seeing the former "boss of the boss" looking at them like this, they would definitely avoid looking at him, or even lower their heads and look timid. But Chen Yaoxing was different. As Su Long commented on him, "This kid is a newborn calf, born with a rebellious nature!"
Chen Yaoxing not only did not avoid Boss Xiang's gaze, he even raised his chin and took the initiative to challenge him, saying, "Why are you ignoring me?"

"How dare you!" Where had Boss Xiang been looked down upon like this before? What's more, the other party was once his younger brother's younger brother?
Boss Xiang slammed the table and stood up, and everyone at the scene looked at him.

Seeing that something was wrong, someone nearby hurriedly pulled him and said, "Be patient, Mr. Du is not here yet!"

"But this kid—" Boss Xiang pointed at Chen Yaoxing and gritted his teeth, furious.

Seeing this, Su Long took the initiative to step forward and bowed to Boss Xiang: "Boss, long time no see!"

"Damn it! How can I be worthy of being your boss? Your coach Su Longsu is so powerful now, commanding thousands of elite soldiers and brave generals, how can you take me seriously?"

"How could that be? I, Su Long, was born in Xinle'an. I will never forget it, and I will never forget your support for me..."

"Support? No! It seems that someone always told others in Xinle'an that I suppressed and retaliated against you, making you depressed and frustrated, with no place to display your strength!"

"Big brother, you're just joking! Let the past be the past."

"Really? But my memory isn't that bad! What? Now that I've become your apprentice, you can show off your power?" Boss Xiang said with a wry smile.

Su Long was slightly annoyed when he saw the other party's sarcasm, but he did defect to Xinle'an, and his origins were there, so he had to give the other party enough face, "How could it be? Why did the boss say that?"

"If not, why would your men destroy my place? And I just found out about this!"

"What?" Su Long was stunned.

The person next to him immediately stepped forward and whispered to him.

Su Long's expression changed. He just knew that Chen Yaoxing had done such a thing.

He looked at Chen Yaoxing.

Chen Yaoxing shrugged indifferently.

"I didn't ask you to do it, you did it yourself?"

"Yeah, big boss, I'm helping my family grab territory, and I'm also helping you vent your anger!"

"Fuck your mother!" Su Long scolded Chen Yaoxing, "When did I ever let you do it? You have nothing to do and you just keep causing trouble for me!"

"Haha, you're still playing a double act with me?" Boss Xiang couldn't bear to watch it anymore and sneered, "Your acting skills are too bad, aren't they?"

Seeing that Xiang didn't believe him, Su Long had to turn around and swallowed his anger and said, "You can't say that. I know right from wrong. I'm from Xinle'an, so why would I send people to destroy Xinle'an? There must be a misunderstanding here."

"Misunderstanding? What a misunderstanding!" Boss Xiang pointed at Su Long's nose, "You have been in our Xinle'an for so many years, don't you know our Xinle'an rules? You are a Xinle'an person when you are alive and a Xinle'an ghost when you die! Don't think you can be arrogant just by breaking away from us! And don't think you can sit back and relax after destroying my place! Let me tell you, tomorrow we Lao Xin will officially go to war with your Zhongxiao Society!"

boom!
The scene exploded.

No one expected that Boss Xiang had such a bad temper that he actually announced on the spot that he would go to war with the Zhongxiao Society in such an occasion!
Not to mention that Xinle'an has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, even though the Zhongxiao Society was just established, it is also strong in manpower and horses. In particular, Su Long took a lot of people with him when he defected from Xinle'an, and now many people in Xinle'an are his disciples.

If the two gangs really fight, it will probably be a fight between brothers.

Everyone basically knows each other, but they still want to fight each other. If things go wrong, both sides will suffer losses, and other clubs will have the opportunity to take advantage!

Immediately, someone around Boss Xiang dissuaded him, “Boss, things haven’t come to that point yet.”

"Yeah, maybe Coach Su really doesn't know!"

"You also know that Chen Yaoxing has always been disrespectful to his elders. Maybe he is the one who caused all the trouble!"

Boss Xiang was originally speaking angrily, waiting for Su Long to give him a way out, maybe he would back down.

Now that people around him were trying to dissuade him, Su Long remained silent, as if he was not afraid of his threats at all.

Just as Boss Xiang was about to add a few more words, the stupid boy Chen Yaoxing said, "Okay, let's start the fight! Then my boss and I will take over all of your Xinle'an territory! Who in the martial arts world doesn't know that the best fighters in your area are from my master's school?!"

"Ah Xing, shut up!"

Su Long was about to scold, but it was too late.

How could Boss Xiang have never been humiliated like this?
What do you mean?
Are you going to take over the entire Xinle'an in front of me?
"Damn it! I think you are tired of living! Okay, okay, instead of starting the fight tomorrow, why not start now? Come on, someone, can someone take down this loser Chen Yaoxing for me?"

There was a commotion among the people of Xinle'an, and a few fierce men who were afraid of chaos in the world were ready to volunteer to fight -
At this time-
"Mr. Du—here!"

Someone outside was singing and shouting loudly.

Suddenly, the noisy hall fell silent.

Everyone, no matter if they were the unruly gangsters, the gang leaders, or the powerful Hong Kong bosses, all looked outside the restaurant.
It's pouring outside!
Two rows of fifty men in black, without umbrellas, formed a guard of honor in the rain and waited at the door.

The raindrops hit them, and they didn't move.

It looks like it's cast in iron, with a bulging waist!
It is!

Carry a knife but not an umbrella on a rainy night!
A stretched Rolls-Royce slowly stopped at the entrance of the restaurant-——
Bang!
Yan Xiong opened the black umbrella.

The car door opens!

A foot landed on the ground, splashing water.

Du Yongxiao was wearing a white dress, which was so eye-catching in the rainy night!
He got out of the car, raised his head slightly and looked towards the Youguqi Restaurant - his posture,
Look!
