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

Chapter 192 Late night snack kills people

Just after leaving the ballroom, a graceful figure walked towards the ballroom.

Li An raised his wrist and glanced at the time. It was now half past ten in the evening.

"Is the supermarket closed?"

He smiled and walked over.

"Ah."

Huaman nodded lightly.

She handed over a golden fried dumpling wrapped in chicken skin and smiled sweetly.

"I just brought you a midnight snack."

"Let me try...well, it's not bad."

Li An took it and put a dumpling into his mouth.

"You go in first, I have something to do when I go out."

"Are you going out so late?"

"Well, I have something to do when I go to Sheung Wan."

Huaman didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and handed over a blue handkerchief.

Watching Huaman walk into the ballroom, Li An turned and left.

Turn into the alley along Xicheng Road, with sewage and scattered garbage under your feet, and exit the alley to Longjin Road, all the way to the east gate of the walled city.

"Brother An."

"Brother An."

Dachun and Amin were already waiting here.

"Let's go."

Li An nodded, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, put it into his pocket, and hurriedly led the two of them to Boundary Street.

Waved to a red taxi, the three of them got in.

"Yau Ma Tei Ferry Pier, thank you."

There was no undersea tunnel at this time, so you had to cross the sea if you wanted to go to Hong Kong Island.

But it was so late and there were no boats anymore, so we had to take fishermen’s sampans across the sea.

By the time Li An crossed the sea and took a taxi to Sheung Wan Police Station, it was already close to early morning.

"You're asking me out so late. You don't even know it's almost early in the morning. My wife is making soup at home. I'm sure she'll be nagging me when I get home."

Seeing Li An coming, Li Zhengtao complained.

Li An smiled when he heard this and joked: "Sir Li, aren't you? You are afraid of being lectured by your sister-in-law if you come home late. I remember Inspector Lan Jiang said last time that you Chaozhou people are famous for not being afraid of your wives? Is it because of this? Blow water?"

"Cough cough~"

Li Zhengtao coughed twice and almost choked on his saliva.

He glanced at He Yi who was holding back his smile and spoke righteously:

"What do you know? Loving your wife and being afraid of your wife are two different things."

"That's a good thing to say."

Li An nodded seriously.

He didn't mention the embarrassing incident of the other party being exposed by Sanjiang Shui. He found his wife and asked Sanjiang Shui to help him take the blame.

Li Zhengtao waved his hand and said seriously:

"Okay, why do you want to ask me out so late?"

Li An glanced at He Yi and Li Zhengtao: "Let's have a midnight snack. We've been busy all night, so you must be hungry too, right?"

"Well, I am indeed hungry."

He Yi touched his belly and said against his will.

At the teahouse earlier, Wu Shihao finished the refreshments he ordered before leaving.

"Are you kidding me? Are you treating me to a late-night snack? Or are you coming all the way from Kowloon? If I remember correctly, there are no small boats at this point."

Li Zhengtao's tone was exaggerated, as if you were lying.

Li An smiled and changed the subject:

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how is the situation with the detective going?"

"Although those ghost guys are greedy, as long as they receive the money, they will do things quickly, no problem."

"Congratulations then, maybe we can go further in the future."

Li An complimented.

Li Zhengtao sighed: "It would be great if I could get a detective, but I don't dare to think about Inspector Zonghua."

"You are only in your thirties, who can say for sure what will happen in the future."

Li An smiled, there are still ten years, these detectives are running away and catching, no one can tell what will happen at that time.

Li Zhengtao curled his lips:

"Climbing high is not necessarily good, and you don't have to listen to those ghosts. I still like money. I will retire if I get some pension money. Then I can go abroad, anything will do."

Li An didn't answer this, raised his wrist and glanced at the time:

"Let's go. It's already twelve o'clock. If you don't go, all the vendors will close their stalls."

"Did you really come across the sea to Hong Kong Island just to treat me to a late-night snack?"

Li Zhengtao was a little worried.

Wu Shihao was hacked at night, so Li An rushed over from Kowloon. Thinking about it, he knew it was not just a supper for him.

"Let's go have supper first, and then we'll follow your arrangements. I'll pay the bill, and I'll treat it as an early celebration for you. Let's go."

"Ok."

Li Zhengtao grinned and stopped insisting.

The three of them went downstairs and came to the first floor.

Li Zhengtao walked outside the police station and asked, "Where are you going?"

Li An didn’t even look back:

"Taipingshan Street."

"Ok?"

Li Zhengtao paused and was silent for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything and followed Li An.

At the door of the police station, Amin and Dachun, who were smoking, saw Li An walking out of the police station. They quickly threw the cigarette butts on the ground and stamped them out before walking over.

Li Zhengtao took a look, his eyes stayed quietly on the waist of the two of them, and got into a Ford car parked in front of the police station.

As the vehicle starts.

The car sped along, passing over the old tenement buildings on both sides of the street, heading towards Taipingshan Street.

……

Zhong Tai is forty-two years old and an old man from Liangongle.

When there was no Lian Gong Le at the earliest, he was the red stick of Dong Fu He.

Since the fat pig man sitting in Tung Fu Hop was thrown into Stanley Prison by Liu Fu, and the club was taken over by Liu Fu's nephew, Tung Fu Hop changed its name to Lian Gong Le.

Because the boss of Baimen is a fat pig, he has been secretly excluded in Liangongle.

Zhong Tai is not tall, only over 1.6 meters tall. The nickname Gao Laotai is more like an irony on him. It was first called out by one of his rivals. Although Zhong Tai didn't like this nickname, he had gradually gotten used to it after being called it for so many years.

There are talents from every generation in the world, and Chen Shou can become a popular figure in Lian Gong Le in his early twenties. His brains, methods, and mentality are definitely not bad.

When he first took refuge in Chen Shou, a junior, Zhong Tai was secretly teased by many people.

Facts have proved that he has good vision. Since joining Chen Shou, Zhong Tai has been highly valued by the other party. Now he is helping him manage the gambling business in Sheung Wan, and he has taken over the human-snake business from Hei Xinhua. It can be said that he is very proud of himself.

It was just that the land on the dock was robbed, which made him quite angry.

He was in no mood, even his favorite mahjong game ended early, and he took three or four boys to a porridge shop on the roadside diagonally across from the gambling house to have night porridge.

Just when he was about to leave after eating, a black Ford car parked next to the porridge shop.

Zhong Tai glanced unconsciously, and the five people who got out of the car walked straight towards the porridge shop.

"Sir, why do you have the time to eat porridge tonight?"

Seeing Li Zhengtao and He Yi, Zhong Tai put on a smile and greeted them with a smile.

Li Zhengtao glanced at Zhong Tai and said without saltiness:

"Gao Laotai, do I need to talk to you when I come to Taipingshan Street for a late-night snack?"

Gao Laotai, wasn't he the Zhong Tai in Wu Shihao's mouth? Hearing this, Li An took a closer look at the other person. He is not tall, wearing a gray shorts, a gold chain around his neck, and an eye-catching green jade ring on his thumb.

"No, how dare I? It's just that I rarely see Sir Li coming over, so I'm a little surprised. Whatever you guys want to eat tonight, I'll pay for it."

Gao Laotai waved his hands repeatedly, and while talking, he looked at the three Li Ans who were with Li Zhengtao.

Although he had heard of Li An's name, he did not know Li An. Seeing that Li An was young, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"no need."

Li Zhengtao refused.

"Those guys, have fun eating."

Zhong Tai seemed to be used to it and didn't care about Li Zhengtao's tone. He said something with a smile and turned around to leave.

Arriving across the street, along the mottled stairs to the second floor, a young man stepped forward and patted the door hard.

Soon, the door was opened.

A man with a horse face looked outside the door, and when he saw Zhong Tai, he quickly shouted:

"Brother Tai."

Zhong Tai hummed and walked in.

The entire first floor inside was opened up, and under the incandescent light, there was smoke and a lot of noise.

Even though it was already early in the morning, seven or eight tables were still crowded with gamblers.

……

"Please enjoy."

Hot porridge was brought to the table.

Li Zhengtao had just taken two bites when his attention was attracted by the movement across the street.

There were about a hundred people coming from the streets, all with unkind expressions and carrying business in their hands.

Li Zhengtao saw Wu Shihao walking in front at a glance:

"Hey, do you want to make such a big scene?"

"You've already called it a day, and no one has reported the crime, so just watch the fun."

Li An chewed the porridge in his mouth, swallowed it, and replied with a smile.

Across the street, Wu Shihao threw the cigarette butts in his mouth on the ground, leaving some people downstairs and leading others upstairs along the mottled stairs.

"Open, it's twelve o'clock!"

As the dice stopped spinning, some of the gamblers gathered around the table were beaming, while others were gnashing their teeth.

Zhong Tai sat elegantly on the chair, took the tea handed to him by his subordinates, looked at the flushed gamblers from time to time, and asked casually:

"Akun, how did things go?"

"One brother died, seven were injured and are in the hospital, and the remaining seven brothers were arrested by the police."

The man who spoke was about forty years old. His shirt was unbuttoned, and his face was sinister. He looked a bit ferocious.

Zhong Tai raised his head and stared at him:

"what happened?"

Akun drooped his head and whispered: "Brother Tai, I didn't expect the six Wu Shihao to be so good at fighting. Fifteen thugs couldn't defeat them. Even Shi Shiming was taken away by those policemen."

"What a waste. With so many people, even Wu Shihao can't deal with them?"

Zhong Tai looked ugly and couldn't help but cursed.

"Brother Tai."

Cold sweat broke out on Ah Kun's back, but he had to bite the bullet and said:

"Well, Shishi shows that they are still locked up in the police station..."

Zhong Tai glanced at A Kun and said impatiently:

"If you still want to ask me about this kind of thing, just ask Cheng Jian. I usually give him so many benefits, why wouldn't he be willing to help with such a small thing?"

Akun sighed:

"Shishi shows that I looked for him as soon as they were arrested and sent to the police station. It's just that Cheng Jian was powerless. Li Zhengtao was holding people captive, and there was nothing he could do."

Zhong Tai sneered: "What? Both of them are senior detectives. Is it possible that Cheng Jian can be beaten by Li Zhengtao?"

A Kun observed Zhong Tai's face and whispered:

"I heard from Cheng Jian that Li Zhengtao has already taken care of those ghost guys."

"You mean, the next detective is Li Zhengtao..."

Zhong Tai frowned.

It is not common for people to get angry. Even if they are caught and sent to the embassy, ​​they can just give them some money. It is obvious that they are being held captive, and it is clear that Li Zhengtao is making things difficult for them.

What he hesitates now is whether he should go down and talk to Li Zhengtao now.

Bang bang bang!

The door was knocked from outside.

"coming."

A forty-nine walked over quickly.

As soon as he opened the door, a foot slammed into Sijiu's chest, knocking him to the ground.

A large group of people came in holding wooden sticks and looking unkind.

Then the sound of smashing was heard, and the faces of the excited gamblers turned pale instantly, and they squatted down silently, and the gambling shop suddenly became a mess.

The few Sijiu who were watching the scene didn't seem to be able to react before they were overwhelmed by the crowd, and wooden sticks rained down on them.

In the blink of an eye, he was knocked to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Zhong Tai's expression changed. As soon as he stood up, more than twenty men dressed as coolies were already rushing towards him with wooden sticks in their hands.

With gusts of strong wind, three or four wooden sticks hit him on the head.

He quickly dodged and retreated, but he didn't expect a wooden stick that was thrown at him at an angle to hit his shoulder with a bang.

Zhong Tai groaned, twisted his waist and turned sideways, grabbed the wooden stick with his right hand, raised his foot and kicked the man in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

To be called a red stick, he must be able to fight. Although Chung Tai is not tall, he officially learned kung fu from the white eyebrow boxing master in Wan Chai, Li Yonghe, when he was young.

He has good skills and is brave enough to fight. It was only when he was young that he gained the reputation of being a red stick.

It's a pity that as we grow older, eat, drink and have fun, most of the skills we learned before are wasted.

Although he could still deal with four or five thugs with his bare hands, facing these swarms of coolies, Zhong Tai was hit by wooden sticks like raindrops after knocking down three of them.

The dull pain coming from his body made him gradually faint.

Just when he was distracted, a wooden stick came towards him and hit him on the head.

Zhong Tai's head was thrown back after being hit, and blood instantly flowed down his face.

Before he could recover, he felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and someone hit the crook of his arm with a stick.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the sound of breaking wooden sticks, there was also the crisp sound of bones.

Zhong Tai screamed, holding his broken arm and staggering back.

"Brother Tai, go quickly."

Seeing that there were still more hands coming over, A Kun's voice was urgent.

At this time, Akun was not much better, his face was covered in blood, and blood dripped from his head from time to time.

A Kun gritted his teeth, kicked the person in front of him, and walked to the other door while protecting Zhong Tai.

A stream of blood splashed in the air.

A 49 who was following him screamed and fell to the ground.

"Push to the street!"

Wu Shihao's face was expressionless, and he stared at Zhong Tai who was being protected. He took two quick steps, raised his right hand, and slashed hard at Zhong Tai's back with a knife.

A Kun turned around and was about to stop him when he was hit on the shoulder by a thin wooden stick from the side.

He couldn't help but groaned and staggered back.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered everywhere!

Zhong Tai, who was not in a hurry to dodge, was slashed in the back by Wu Shihao, and blood splattered all over his hands.

Wu Shihao's eyes were full of murderous intent. He stepped forward, extended his right hand forward, and stabbed Zhong Tai's waist with the tip of the knife!
