Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 97: Borrowing a Knife to Kill

In fact, the total cost of marriage for ordinary Hong Kong citizens will not exceed 10,000 yuan.

As for the house, if there is empty space at home, you can squeeze in. If there is no empty space and you don’t have any money, you can only rent a house to get married.

Nowadays in the industrial park in Chai Wan, people can only earn thirty to fifty dollars after standing for thirteen hours a day and working themselves to death. A wedding worth ten thousand dollars is already very eye-catching.

I just didn't expect that when the Young and Dangerous made so much money, the high-end apartments in Central and the sports cars were all ready.

To be honest, Wang Xi was very grateful to Chi Mengli for helping him save the occasion. It was his first time to be in such a luxurious restaurant. When he looked at the menu just now, one dish cost hundreds of yuan. He might not even earn enough to buy one dish if he tightened car screws for a whole day.

He and Chi Mengli were also old friends, and they often drank together in the past. He whispered, "Ah Sheng, thank you for supporting Ah Dong today."

"But we have a house at home. My mother is in poor health, so she will have to move in with me sooner or later. The vacant apartment in the housing estate will be left for A-dong to use when he gets married."

"I heard from Adong that you have already given him a car. Although I am not involved in gangs or business, I have heard from my best friends that other big bosses only give a sum of money when they pay homage to their father-in-law, and they don't care about the banquet, house or car at all."

"As Dong's eldest brother, I promised my father that I would take good care of my younger brother."

"Brother Feng is in the hospital, and I really can't spare the time, otherwise I would definitely be here today. This is a little gift from me and you." After Wang Xi finished speaking, he handed the red seal in his hand to Chi Mengli.

The envelope was not thick. Chi Mengli knew there would be no more than 5,000 yuan in it just by pinching it with his hand. He did not refuse and put it directly into his pocket.

"The down payment for the house will be paid by the four of us, Sister Lian, Sister Da, and Brother Xi."

"I'll give this red seal to A-Dong later."

"Adong has always been at the forefront. As the boss, I will definitely help him with these trivial matters. I won't say more. Being brothers is a lifelong thing. Let's drink."

Chi Mengli clinked glasses with Wang Xi and took a sip of brandy.

It was Wang Xi’s first time to drink brandy, and he drank it a little too fast and choked. He quickly took a bite of grouper to suppress it.

Chi Mengli solved the three problems of house, car and wedding banquet. The relationship between Xiaomei and Bo Xidong is even better. These two losers will eventually get back together after a long separation, and will eventually separate after a long reunion. They quarrel, fight and make up, and they have long been inseparable.

Xiaomei's dad, mommy, was also very satisfied and was eating the delicious food on the table.

Chi Mengli was chatting with Wang Xi when a waiter came in, walked to Bo Xidong's side, whispered a few words, then Bo Xidong stood up and hurried out.

There is a situation!
Chi Mengli coughed and winked at Ji Mi, asking him to go out and take a look.

After receiving the instruction, Ji Mi quickly put down his chopsticks and walked out of the box. A minute later, he hurried back and reported in a low voice.

Chi Mengli's expression did not change when he heard Ji Mi's words. He put the bait out in the open just to create a big show. Now the supporting actors have not arrived yet, so it is not appropriate to alert the enemy.

He picked up the napkin, wiped the oil stains on his mouth, said something to Wang Xi beside him, stood up and walked out of the box.

"Brother Sheng, there is a punk following us. I'm going to catch him now."

When Bo Xidong saw Chi Mengli coming out of the box, he handed the note in his hand to her.

There was a string of numbers on the note, which should be the license plate number. After Chi Mengli read it, he handed it back to Bocai Dong: "What is Hei Ah Hu doing? It's been two days, and he still hasn't dealt with Dong Ni?"

"Hei Ah Hu has dealt with Tony, the owner of the tenement building has voluntarily signed the contract, and Dushe Ming called and said that the remaining 300,000 cash will be delivered tomorrow." Upon hearing Brother Sheng mention Hei Ah Hu, Spinach Dong, who was in charge of guarding the land, hurriedly told the boss that Wang Haiquan's troubles had been solved.

It’s good that it’s done!
Chi Mengli nodded, glanced at the clock on the wall, yawned, and said, "Let Hei Ah Hu go and catch the person who is following us."

"Jimi, you go and keep an eye on him. If you fail to catch him and the person following him gets away, you should secretly follow him. It would be best if you can find out where this guy is."

"I know. I'll go now."

Ji Mi had already eaten his fill, so he handed his briefcase to Chi Mengli, asking him to use it to protect himself.

Seeing the briefcase in front of him, Chi Mengli shook his head: "Anyone who can come out to spy must have martial arts skills. You can use it for self-defense. No matter how the fight goes, don't take action. Just watch secretly."

"Go ahead! After you're done, come back and have a midnight snack together."

"Oh, by the way, bring your camera and take a picture of this slumping face."

Ji Mi didn't say much, and quickly followed the parking boy A Shui who came to report the news downstairs to deal with the street thug who was following them.

Seeing the two leave, Chi Mengli looked at Bocai Dong who was a little drunk, and was silent for a second before saying: "Adong, you should go home with Xiaomei tonight and have a good rest."

"You are the boss now. You don't have to do things yourself. Give your men a chance to come forward."

"Have you investigated the details of the South Asian knifemen?"

"We figured it out. It was a idiot named Jiuzhouzi who took the initiative to find Simba, the owner of Ganges Delhi Restaurant, looking for the South Asian knifeman to do the job. Simba said that this Jiuzhouzi was a henchman of Dakouya."

"Brother Sheng, is this South Asian knifeman sent by Big Mouth Duck?"

Bo Xidong took out two Camel cigarettes, lit them, handed one to Chi Mengli, and scratched his head, very confused.

"This punk Jiuzhou guy is Dakouya's henchman, which means that Dakouya didn't do this. He is using someone else's knife to kill someone."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be done by Yazaku's people. The purpose is very simple. It should be for that damn Uesugi Yue. This old ass is full of troubles. We have to take action quickly."

"What have you done to contact Lianhua?"

After a whole day of hard work, Chi Mengli was a little tired. He leaned on the railing and smoked a cigarette.

"Lianhua said it was willing to meet, but he had to choose the place. After all, he had already transferred to Lao Fu and was afraid that Shuifang would clear out the door."

"A few white lady dealers in Yau Ma Tei have agreed to meet. Let's decide on a place."

Lianhua was also unlucky. He moved his business to Lao Fu and became Lao Fu's 49er from Hutchison Whampoa. However, because he did not make any great achievements, Lao Fu's promise to open a temple was completely cancelled.

However, he owns two billiard halls, a roller skating rink, a bowling alley, and two nightclubs. If he were a small club, with so many venues, he would have a chance of competing for the top spot.

But Lao Fu controls Kowloon Walled City and Causeway Bay, which are lucrative territories, so he does not need a few cheap places like Lianhua.
