Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 136: Start at the beginning but end at the end, eating late night snacks
"Actually, it's not Mr. Ke's fault. We, Mr. Ke, have seen the world, but his subordinates who have been hanging around the city have never seen the world. Suddenly I saw a young man holding more than 1 Hong Kong dollars. When he comes to the gambling house, he naturally thinks that he is another Kaizi who comes to the city to have fun.

Nine out of ten gambles involve cheating, everyone knows this.But the appearance is too ugly, so it would be wrong to treat me, Li An, as a hero.What's more, the guy named Greyhound in his gambling house admitted cheating in front of many people in the gambling house. Shouldn't I smash his place? "

Li An looked around at everyone.

"He ran a gambling house, but he was caught in front of his face. Li An, you have to ask Mr. Ke about this."

Fatty Chao shook his head and clicked his tongue, with a look of gloating on his face.

"Brother Chao is right."

Li An responded and gave Ke Wan a long smile:
"Mr. Ke, what do you think?"

"With more than a dozen guns pointed at him, of course he can say whatever you want him to say."

Ke Wanchang glanced at Li An and said in an indifferent tone.

Li An grinned:
"Mr. Ke, if you want to say this, can I understand it this way? Anyway, you have already killed the greyhounds. You can say whatever you want. There is no evidence to prove it. Is that what you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Ke Wanchang suddenly became furious.

Not only was your gambling house robbed, but you were beaten up by someone, and that person slapped you in the face, no matter who it was, you would not be in a good mood.

He took a deep breath and glanced at everyone in the hall.

When several of the less famous bosses present saw his gaze, they hurriedly picked up the teacups on the table and took a sip, pretending they couldn't see him.

Fatty Chao, on the other hand, had a smile on his face, and when the two looked at each other, there was a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

Not to mention the camel tripod sitting in the middle, just drinking tea with an ambiguous attitude of silence.

The reaction of everyone present made Ke Wanchang grit his teeth uncontrollably.

He laughed angrily:
"Okay, I'll put the gambling house aside. But what about the fact that you injured Feng Xiaman during the hot pot dinner tonight? He won't offend you, right?"

Li An pursed his lips, controlled his facial muscles, and said with an exaggerated expression:

"When you said this, it really opened my eyes. No matter what era we are in now, bullying of men and women in the old society still happens, and even an individual can't stand it.

Mr. Ke, you talk about the morality of the world and the rules of the city all day long. I just stopped you, and I didn't do anything to Feng Xiaman. How dare you talk about this kind of thing? "

In fact, Ang Lee’s words are not without purpose.

Since the opening of Hong Kong, a large number of associations have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain. However, the origin of associations can still be traced back to Hongmen in the late Qing Dynasty.

Even though so many years have passed, everyone is only focused on making money, and privately some of Hongmen's rules have long been in vain.

But Ang Lee brought the matter of bullying men and women to the table, leaving them unable to refute.

Ke Wanchang stared at Li An without saying a word, with a scary face.

"Of course, times have changed now. The old morals and rules have long been stepped on, and everyone is still bullying men and women, and bullying the weak.
I am a person who is relatively direct in my words and actions. If you fellow countrymen want to regain your position, I will be happy to accompany you. "

Li An spread his hands and said indifferently.

The people sitting here are all big men in the world. If you don't act a little more arrogantly and behave like a good old man, who will take you seriously and who can think highly of you?
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, Luotuoding, as the host, broke the silence.

"Okay, you two, don't argue with me here. You come and I go. Since you have chosen to come to my club, I will say a few more words."

As he said that, Luotuoding looked at Li An:

"Li An, I also said when you came here that although there have been a lot of troubles in the Walled City over the years, there are some things that we can't do too much.

If everyone gets into a big fight whenever something goes wrong and makes too much noise, even if the walled city is a besieged city, the ghost guy will not turn a blind eye to us.

The attitude of us people is very clear. We have nothing to do with your personal grudges with your hometown association, and we will not get involved.

But there is a premise. Even if you use guns, you can't cause too much trouble to end. "

What Luotuoding said was ambiguous, it was the same as not saying it.

But one thing was made very clear, that is, the personal grudges between Li An and the hometown association would not be interfered with by other forces in the city.

When Ke Wanchang heard this, he also knew that these guys in front of him planned to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

He looked at the camel tripod with indifferent eyes and walked away.

Feng Chunmei and Fu Shoujin didn't say much and left immediately.

"Brother Chunmei."

Just when Feng Chunmei passed by Li An, Li An called out to him.

"I saw you doing well as a grappler on Route 72 at the Western Union Shipyard last time. Can we compare notes if you have time?"

"Okay! If you have the ability, come to Anle Building to find me."

Feng Chunmei said coldly.

Li An didn't care about the other party's tone, but smiled back: "Then it's settled."

The three members of the hometown association left the scene without much reaction from the others.

Luotuoding picked up the teacup and took a sip, looked up at Li An, and asked with some profound meaning:

"Let's talk a little more. You said earlier that you don't want to take advantage of others. Can you ask me, what is the purpose of bringing so many gunmen into the city and causing conflicts with the villagers in the walled city?"

"Isn't it obvious? You're causing trouble for the hometown association."

Li An didn't hide anything and said with a smile.

As a man matures with age, Luo Tuo Ding has been in the world for most of his life, so it is natural to see that he is deliberately seeking bad luck for his fellow villagers.

What's more, what he just said cannot stand up to scrutiny.

But what makes Li An think deeply is the silent attitude of people like Luo Tuoding and Fat Zaichao towards the hometown association when he and his fellow villagers were in conflict.

Sure enough, as soon as Li An said these straightforward words, everyone in the museum seemed to be interested.

"Did the fellow villagers offend you?"

Luotuoding asked with interest.

Li An did not rush to answer Camel Ding's question, but asked instead:
"Master Ding, do you know that people from the hometown association have always wanted to get involved in Kowloon's business?"

Luotuoding frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

Li An smiled and said casually:
"Isn't this normal? The only good thing about the walled city is that there are no bad guys to come in to collect the regulations for side businesses. But in the end, it is still just a slum. How can there be any outside business to make money? Fat Chao and your nephew Doll are strong outside. It’s a lot of money, Ke Wanchang and the others will certainly not miss it.”

Luotuoding thought over Li An's words over and over again without making a sound.

Li An stopped when he saw that, licked his lips, and continued half-truthfully:

"Kowloon Division Inspector Zhou Sheng is my senior brother. Maybe the people from the hometown association are used to being arrogant and domineering in the Walled City. In order to get involved in the side business of Boundary Street, Ke Wanchang actually threatened my senior brother. I came to the Walled City this time. Let them improve their memory."

Next to the gate of Dingye Guild Hall, Li Jianjun and his group of more than ten people stared at the iron gate of the guild hall without saying a word.

When Li An walked out of the club, he took two quick steps and greeted him.

"A'an, did they make things difficult for you?"

"No."

Li An shook his head with a smile.

He finally understood that all the people in the clubhouse tonight had their own agendas and plans.

Ke Wanchang's intention was very clear. He hoped to use the rules of the walled city to unite with others to deal with him.

But maybe Ke Wanchang and the others have almost forgotten that in the eyes of other forces in the city, compared to an outsider like Li An, the territory of the hometown association is more jealous of them.

All battles cannot escape the word profit.

The conflict between the hometown association and Li An is something that other forces are happy to see happen.In my heart, I wish that Li An and his fellow villagers would be at loggerheads so that they could reap the benefits.

"Let's go."

Just when Ang Lee was about to leave, Fat Chao walked out of the club.

"Are you interested in having night porridge together?" He quickly came to Li An and asked.

Li An raised his wrist and looked at the time.

"It's only 08:30. Isn't it a little early for a midnight snack?"

"Just a few words to chat. There is a restaurant not far away that serves pig blood porridge."

Fat Zai Chao had a smile on his face, but his eyes calmly glanced at the dozen or so people following Li An.

Wan Chai, Jinyu Nightclub.

Under the whirling colorful lights, there was a feast of lights, longing figures, and a commotion of people drinking and drinking.

In the booth, Lei Luo and Lard Boy, who were wearing gray jackets, sat opposite each other.

Lardboy took a sip of red wine, put down the glass, and said while peeling peanuts:
"Brother Luo, Li An went to the Walled City. Our trip today was in vain."

"It's not a wasted trip. At least it proves that the Li An who chatted with us at Zhou Sheng's banquet that day is the same person I guessed."

After speaking, Lei Luo lit a cigarette, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.

Lardboy chewed up the peanuts in his mouth and swallowed them, then leaned forward:

"Brother Luo, I've never been able to figure it out. Why would that Li An want to make friends with you? Dustbin Bay is a remote and remote place where you can't do business and can only work as a fisherman. What does he want from you? What's more, Zhou Sheng is there. Lan Jiang is here, so he has no reason to make friends with you, so if he wants to find one, he’s looking for Yantong."

Lei Luo laughed and scolded: "What you mean is that I am not as good as Yan Tong."

"No way, apart from having a beautiful wife, Yan Tong is nothing compared to you, Brother Luo. Sooner or later, Brother Luo will also be able to become a detective in a big oil and water area."

"Okay, okay."

Lei Luo waved his hand, squinted his eyes and said, "Actually, I can't guess Li An's thoughts. No matter what his purpose is, it's not important."

"Then what's important?" Lardboy opened his mouth and asked.

Lei Luo took a deep breath from his cigarette and chuckled: "Have you seen it at the dock today? The entire No. 600 freight dock is the same. There are only [-] coolies working under them. Don't look at those who claim to have tens of thousands of people. How about a club that no one else looks down upon? If we really put our efforts into it, we might not be able to defeat Ang Lee.

But it took him a short time to gain a foothold at the dock. These days, there are people who are making money, and there are two detectives, Zhou Sheng and Lan Jiang, behind him. Sooner or later, he will soar to the sky. It is very cost-effective to make friends like this. Well, do you know what I mean? "

"understood."

Lardboy nodded.

He naturally knows very well that what Lei Luo needs now is friends who are based on interests and can help each other.

Lei Luo looked around with his eyes.

"Wan Chai is indeed a prosperous area. At night, these dance halls and nightclubs are always full."

"That's natural. Wan Chai has the largest population on Hong Kong Island, and Yau Tsim Mong is on the other side of Kowloon."

Lardboy smiled and replied, as if remembering something, and said seriously: "I remember that the detective in Wan Chai passed away from a heart attack some time ago. The position in this big oil and water area is still vacant. Brother Luo doesn't have any ideas?"

"What's the use of having ideas? I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this position. Without the support of the ghosts, it's impossible."

At the end of the sentence, Lei Luo's voice became smaller and smaller, and he looked at Lard Boy.

"Brother Luo, why are you staring at me? Is there something dirty on my face? Hey, why don't you say anything?"

Lardboy wiped his face with his hand, then stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lei Luo's eyes.

"Get out of the way."

Lei Luo said, slapping Lardboy's hand away.

Only then did Lardboy realize that Lei Luo was looking behind him. He followed Lei Luo's gaze and looked back, and at a glance he saw the woman sitting alone in the booth behind him.

The woman had long wavy hair hanging behind her head and was wearing a white dress. She sat quietly on the booth alone, with a faint and beautiful smile on her face.

Lardboy praised:

"Oh, that's on point. It's quite pleasing to the eye. She looks like a lady. Why would she come to a place like this?"

"You ask me, how do I know?"

"Brother Luo, you don't have a girlfriend yet. Do you want the brothers outside to arrange a scene and help you perform a heroic rescue?"

"Lardboy, aren't you being too old-fashioned?"

"Old-fashioned, it means that there are many people using it and it can stand the test. Let me tell you, women are not naturally resistant to dramas like heroes saving beauties."

Lardboy said seriously.

"It sounds like it's true."

Lei Luo laughed and cursed, then nuzzled his lips behind Lard Boy: "Look, there are a few volunteers here."

Lardboy turned his head and looked sideways, while Lei Luo wiped his hands, straightened his clothes, and prepared to get up.

"Little beauty, you are alone."

As a frivolous voice sounded, five or six young men with scornful faces came closer to the woman.

Before the woman could express her position, the young man in a plaid shirt had already pulled up a chair and sat next to the woman.

"It's boring for you to sit alone. Let's open a bottle of wine and drink together. We'll suffer some losses. If one of us dances with you, we'll make sure you're not bored."

"Sorry, I'll leave after my friend finishes dancing."

The woman frowned, leaned to the side, and distanced herself from the young man.

"Are you shy?"

"Bang!" Glass shards flew everywhere.

A wine bottle fell on the head of the young man who spoke.

A girl with a fierce expression ran up to the woman: "Sister Xue'er, are you okay?"

The woman shook her head, picked up the girl and prepared to leave.

"Sanba, you hit someone and want to leave? How can it be that simple?" The young man covered his head with a fierce expression.

The girl put her hands on her hips: "So what if we get beaten, do you know who we are?"

"Damn it, I don't care who you are?"

The young man reached out and grabbed the girl's hair, stretched out a hand diagonally and grabbed his wrist.

"Almost there."

The young man turned to look at the person coming and cursed:
"Who the hell are you, meddling in other people's business?"

Lei Luo pointed at the woman called Xue'er: "I am his boyfriend, is that enough?"

A trace of astonishment flashed across the woman's face.

"If you dare to charge at me, you are dead."

The young man made an angry sound and took out a knife from his arms.Several companions beside him also took out tools from their waists and looked at Lei Luo with unkind eyes.

"Hey! Bright guy? I have one too!"

"Bang!" The gunshot suddenly exploded!
Lei Luo held the gun in both hands: "Hold your head and squat down."
