Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Hong Kong, Sham Shui Po.

This area was considered Hung Hing territory, but Hung Hing didn't manage it much after taking control.

Because most people in Sham Shui Po are xenophobic, they're practically the same as those in Kowloon Walled City.

Previously, this place was managed by Hung Hing's beautiful mother, and later by Chiang Tin-yeung.

Chiang Tin Yeung's influence is mostly concentrated in Thailand, and Sham Shui Po is only temporarily managed, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

This also gave many other clubs the opportunity to come in and make a living.

However, in Hung Hing's territory, as long as you don't cause trouble, the leaders are still quite easy to talk to.

As a result, all sorts of shady businesses have sprung up, and there are even several loan companies.

At this time, Ko Chun was hiding in a hotel in Sham Shui Po.

He had suffered amnesia after hitting his head in an accident, but he has only recently started to remember some things.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he realized that he had been betrayed by his cousin, Gao Yi.

With no help from anywhere and only a conman named Little Knife by his side, there was no way he could fight against those people.

Out of desperation, he remembered his former boss.

Fortunately, he still had some influence with Chen Jiajun, who readily agreed to send someone to help. Now all he had to do was wait for Hung Hing's reinforcements to arrive.

What he didn't know was that when they went to the loan sharks to rescue Chen Daozai, they had already exposed their whereabouts and were discovered by Gao Yi.

Gao Yi was originally just a follower of Gao Jin, and his power was given to him by Gao Jin.

Now that I've seen the outside world, my heart has become wild.

While Ko Chun was missing, he secretly used all his savings to bet on Ko Chun's losses, intending to make a fortune.

But when he discovered that Gao Jin had reappeared, he immediately panicked.

If Gao Jin wins against Chen Jincheng, all the wealth he has accumulated over the years will be lost.

So he went directly to Chen Jincheng's right-hand man, a Singaporean gangster named Ah Nan.

The plan is to join forces with the Singaporean triads to make Ko Chun disappear completely, or at least prevent him from appearing at the gambling events.

"Gao Jin is truly blind, actually believing a nobody like you!" Anan looked at Gao Yi with disdain.

Although he was involved in organized crime, he despised scum like Gao Yi the most!
Gao Yi, far from being ashamed, said with pride, "Hey, do you think it's so easy to be a successful scoundrel?"

"So what? Rumors are circulating that Gao Jin has disappeared!" Anan didn't want to get involved with this kind of scum, because if this kind of person could betray even his cousin Gao Jin today, he could betray him next time.

Gao Yi sneered, "As long as Gao Jin is alive, will your boss Chen Jincheng be at ease? Besides, I've already found his whereabouts!"

"Where?" Anan immediately became nervous.

The Singaporean Chinese community played a significant role in Chen Jincheng's bet with Gao Jin.

They've used up so many resources; if they lose, he'll be the first one to suffer.

“As long as you cooperate with me, we can take him down! What do you say?” Gao Yi said with a smile.

Anan said with a disdainful look, "What do you have?"

"Isn't knowing Gao Jin's whereabouts enough for me?" Gao Yi sneered. "How about this? I'll deposit two million US dollars into your account. I'll provide the money, you provide the service. With Gao Jin dead, you can vent your anger, I'll have one less thorn in my side, and Mr. Chen will have one less enemy! This is a win-win-win situation, Brother Nan!"

After thinking for a moment, Anan pointed at Gao Yi and said, "I can give you the person you want! Here's the address!"

“Right in Sham Shui Po!” Ko Yee said with a sinister smile.

……

At this moment, inside the Regal Hotel in Sham Shui Po.

Ko Chun, along with Chan Dao-tsai and his henchman Crow, hid in the hotel.

Because they had previously worked with a loan shark, people everywhere were looking for them.

They didn't dare go out, so they could only ask Chen Daozai's girlfriend to go outside and get some food.

"Chocolate! Do you think we should run away?" Chen Daozai said with a depressed look.

Gao Jin remained silent and could only continue to play dumb.

After all, you can know a person's face but not their heart, and his identity cannot be exposed yet.

However, he said to Chen Daozai, "I think it's better to hide here!"

"Hiding here all the time isn't a good idea!" Chen Daozai said dejectedly.

As the two were chatting, Gao Jin's ears suddenly twitched as he heard a flurry of footsteps outside the door.

And they quickly headed towards their room.

Gao Jin's expression immediately changed, and he grabbed the vase and hid by the door.

Chen Daozai was taken aback at first, then his expression changed drastically: "What's wrong with you? Is someone outside?"

Gao Jin nodded, then made a shushing gesture.

Chen Daozai immediately grabbed a chair, ready to act at any moment.

The moment the room door opened, Gao Jin struck first, smashing a vase directly onto one of the gunmen's heads.

Then, with a swift movement, he snatched the pistol from the other person's hand.

Chen Daozai followed suit, smashing the chair hard onto the second person's head.

After two people were wounded, the gunmen realized they had been exposed, so they simply pointed their guns at the room and opened fire.

Faced with a hail of bullets, Gao Jin immediately pulled Chen Daozai away and ran.

Fortunately, the hotel environment was complex, and Gao Jin occasionally fired back, so the other side couldn't catch up for a while.

However, Chen Daozai took a long breath and said, "Boss Cheng isn't that petty, is he? We just beat him up, and he actually sent gunmen to kill us? Has this guy gone mad?"

Gao Jin said coldly, "I'm afraid these people are here for me."

Chen Daozai finally realized what was going on: "Chocolate, you remember things from before?"

Gao Jin didn't waste any words with him, but instead pulled him along and kept running: "Shut up, or you'll die if you don't want to follow me!"

Chen Daozai was not used to Gao Jin's changes, but seeing how Gao Jin had taken down one enemy with a single shot earlier, he kept quiet and followed behind him.

After leaving their hotel room, the two ran straight to the underground parking lot.

Ten minutes have passed since he made the call, and at Hung Hing's pace, someone should arrive in five minutes at most.

Therefore, Gao Jin and Chen Daozai focused on hiding and carefully observed their surroundings.

However, Gao Yi brought a lot of men this time, and after a thorough search, they quickly found Gao Jin and Chen Daozai's hiding place, and then the gunmen swarmed in.

The vehicles in the underground parking lot were really unlucky; they were riddled with holes.

Gao Jin managed to hold out until now by seizing the gun twice.

As for Chen Daozai, he was just a burden.

Just when the two were about to be driven into a corner, Hung Hing's reinforcements finally arrived.

The person who came was Tai Tin Yee. Since Chiang Tin Yeung, the head of Sham Shui Po, was not in Hong Kong, Tai Tin Yee, who was closer to the area, could only come to put out the fire.

Seeing his gunmen being killed one by one, Gao Yi panicked.

He dared not fight Da Tian Er's men, so he simply betrayed Anan's men and secretly escaped from the hotel.

Having dealt with the gunmen, Da Tian Er smiled and asked Gao Jin, "Brother Jin, are you alright?"

Gao Jin sighed and said, "It's nothing, I just got bitten on the hand!"

During the gunfight, Gao Jin was shot in the arm, and now that he's relaxed, he feels the pain.

Da Tian Er nodded and said, "We have a doctor, we'll take you there now!"

Seeing the group preparing to leave, Chen Daozai suddenly became anxious: "Hey, what about me?"

Gao Jin glanced at him and said, "It will be dangerous for you to come along. You should hide for a while! I'll come find you when I have time." Chen Daozai wanted to say something, but Gao Jin had already gotten into Da Tian Er's car, so he could only shut his mouth.

He was now even more curious about Gao Jin's identity.

……

In the car, Gao Jin closed his eyes and pondered the recent events.

If his fall and amnesia were just an accident, then being chased by a gunman cannot be explained by mere accident.

After arriving at the private clinic, the doctor removed the bullet from Gao Jin's arm.

Gao Jincai asked Da Tian'er, "Where is Mr. Chen?"

"Boss is probably still in America right now, he should be back soon." Da Tian Er asked curiously, "How did the God of Gamblers end up like this?"

Gao Jin shook his head and said, "I'm still completely confused!"

"Who's chasing you?" Da Tian Er asked with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

No matter what, Ko Chun was once someone who served Hung Hing. Hunting down their men in Hong Kong was something no Hung Hing leader could tolerate.

Gao Jin frowned and said, "It should be Chen Jincheng's men!"

"Hmm? Is this the gambling tycoon Chen Jincheng who's planning to gamble against you on the high seas?" Da Tian Er frowned and asked, "What's this guy up to?"

Gao Jin sneered and said, "Who knows? Maybe they're not confident of beating me and are planning some underhanded tactics! The betting odds for this game are all set by Singaporeans, and coincidentally, Chen Jincheng is Singaporean!"

Da Tian Er nodded upon hearing this: "No wonder there have been so many unfamiliar faces in Hong Kong lately, it turns out to be these bastards! I'll give the boss a heads-up later, and they won't be able to cause any trouble in Hong Kong!"

"Thank you!" Gao Jin took a deep breath and then said to Da Tian Er, "Please take me to the villa on the hillside later. My woman still has a lot of luggage in the villa."

“No problem!” Da Tian Er nodded.

After treating the wounds, Gao Jin led Da Tian Er and the others back to the villa that Shangshan Hongci had given him.

As soon as he entered the door, Gao Jin saw his cousin Gao Yi.

"Brother Jin, are you alright? You're finally back." Gao Yi said with a smile, but his eyes were full of apprehension.

Gao Jin said with some surprise, "Ayi, I'm fine now. By the way, where's Janet?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yi immediately put on a sorrowful expression, pretending to be genuine: "Brother Jin, I'm so sorry!"

Gao Jin's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Ayi, what happened? Tell me quickly!"

Seeing his cousin's expression, Gao Jin immediately had a bad feeling.

Gao Yi said in a low voice, "After you disappeared for ten days, I searched everywhere for you! I left Jenny alone in the villa. One day, when I returned, I saw that all the glass on the balcony was smashed! There was a pool of blood on the floor, and then Jenny disappeared!"

"Brother Jin, it's my fault for being useless. I didn't take good care of my sister-in-law. Please punish me!"

Gao Jin froze, unable to utter a word for a long time.

He silently walked into the villa, sat on the sofa, covered his face, and remained silent.

After a long while, Gao Jin finally said to Da Tian Er, "I want to get rid of you for one thing."

Seeing Gao Jin's state, Da Tian Er said directly, "Don't worry, I will get the Hung Hing people to help you find your sister-in-law."

"Thank you!" Gao Jin nodded, then said to the crowd, "I need some quiet time now."

Da Tian Er nodded: "I'll leave someone outside the villa and let you know when the boss returns!"

Gao Jin nodded, then went into the room and started moaning to himself.

Ko Yee never expected that Ko Chun had such a deep relationship with Hung Hing, that even the leader of the organization would leave people to protect him.

It's absolutely impossible to make a move now; before he can even kill Gao Jin, he'll be the one who loses out.

Fortunately, Gao Jin has not yet realized his betrayal, and Gao Yi feels that he still has a chance.

So after going out, he went straight to Anan.

Upon meeting, the Singaporean gangster gave Gao Yi several hard blows.

The beating caused Gao Yi to bleed from the corner of his mouth, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't straighten up.

Anan cursed angrily, "You bastard, you've ruined my life, and you still dare to come see me!"

His twenty-odd gunmen were arguably the most elite men he had brought to Hong Kong, but unexpectedly, not only did they fail to kill Ko Chun, they were all wiped out.

What Anan fears most is that sooner or later, the trail will lead back to him through these gunmen.

The people of Hung Hing are no saints. These outsiders causing trouble on Hung Hing's territory will definitely be taught a lesson.

Therefore, Anan vented his anger directly on Gao Yi.

"Brother Nan, listen to me first! I really have a way to make money." Gao Yi wasn't angry even after being hit, and said directly to Anan.

But Anan wasn't buying it. The underworld was experts at dealing with these swindlers. He grabbed Anan by the collar and said menacingly, "Where's the two million dollars you promised me?"

"I'll definitely give you two million, but you have to settle things with Gao Jin first!" Gao Yi said, spreading his hands.

Ah Nan snorted coldly, grabbed Gao Yi by the collar, and was about to attack: "You never told me that Gao Jin had any connection with the Hung Hing people. Now he's being protected by the Hung Hing people. Who can touch him? You want me to go and die?"

Just as Anan was preparing to teach this scoundrel a lesson, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Anan, don't do it yet!" Chen Jincheng walked in from outside and stopped Anan immediately upon seeing the scene.

Anan clearly respected Chen Jincheng, and said with a relaxed tone, "Mr. Chen!"

Chen Jincheng found a sofa and sat down, adopting a boss-like demeanor, and said to Gao Yi, "I'd like to hear what your ideas are!"

Gao Yi immediately laughed: "Mr. Chen, you're really something! You understood what I meant right away! All the gamblers and underworld brothers in Southeast Asia were waiting to see your bet with Gao Jin on the high seas! The odds were three to one for Gao Jin to win!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jincheng snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

In the last God of Gamblers Challenge, Chen Jincheng was defeated by Shi Yijian and Wuming, and he never even fought against Gao Jin, which was the most unacceptable thing for him.

So he waved his hand and said coldly, "Don't talk so much nonsense."

Gao Yi laughed smugly and said to Chen Jincheng, "If I could make Gao Jin lose to Mr. Chen, wouldn't you say that's a way to make money?"

Chen Jincheng frowned and said, "What way do you have to help me win?"

Gao Yi then took out a video of Gao Jin gambling recently and handed it to Chen Jincheng.

Then I'll prepare another trump card.

Chen Jincheng quickly spotted a flaw in Gao Jin's performance in the video and became quite smug.

Just then, Gao Yi had also prepared to call the two over.

Anan examined the cards carefully and found nothing unusual about them.

Gao Yi smiled slightly and handed a pair of glasses to the other person.

Soon they were able to clearly see the markings on the playing cards.

Gao Yi explained, "This chemical solution can only be seen clearly by wearing these liquid crystal imaging glasses because the lenses contain cyanide, and they can only be bought in the United States."

"I ordered a pair a long time ago. They look exactly like ordinary glasses, and they cost ten thousand US dollars!"

As Gao Yi spoke, he handed Chen Jincheng a pair of seemingly ordinary glasses.

After Chen Jincheng put it on, he was indeed able to clearly see the secret code on the playing cards, and immediately smiled.

Anan thought for a moment and said, "It's still no use. For such a big event, they'll definitely have someone check the license plates. If someone also uses liquid crystal viewing glasses to check, wouldn't we be exposed?"

Gao Yi laughed and said, "That's right! Usually, for such a big event, someone will definitely check your license! Mr. Chen, who will you ask to check your license?"

Anan pointed to himself and said, "Of course it's me!"

“Exactly!” Gao Yi sneered. “Gao Jin also asks me to help him check the cards! If you don’t say anything and I don’t say anything, who will know that the cards have been tampered with?”

"God of Gamblers? You really think he's a god?! Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing Gao Yi's words, Chen Jincheng and Anan both smiled.

It has to be said, this kind of scoundrel actually has some use. (End of Chapter)
