Hong Kong variety show: My Boss, Thirteen Sister

"Hey, Sister Mei!"

"What's up, Jiang?" Thirteen Sister asked immediately when she saw that it was Jiang calling.

"I want to ask you about someone!"

"Who is it?" Thirteen Sister asked with a hint of doubt.

“A woman named Sasaki Miho is the wife of international drug lord Master Ma!” Jiang Lai asked directly.

"Sasaki?" Thirteen Sister held her phone, looking down to recall.

Jiang Lai didn't speak either; he was waiting for Thirteen Sister's reply.

Even if Thirteen Sister doesn't know, it doesn't matter.

"I think I vaguely remember this!" Thirteen Sister said to Jiang after a moment.

Um?

"Can you tell me about this woman?" Jiang Lai asked.

"What's wrong? Do you have a grudge against her, or have you taken a fancy to her?" Thirteen Sister teased.

"Hehe!" Jiang Lai chuckled.

“Let me tell you, this woman is not simple!” Thirteen Sister added.

"Could you tell me more?" Ignoring Thirteen Sister's teasing, Jiang Lai asked directly.

"Actually, I don't know much about it either. I remember that Kwan once talked to me about wanting to collaborate with me!"

Thirteen Sister paused for a moment, then continued:

“You know I don’t touch drugs. I just remember that Kwan mentioned this name at the time. I learned something during the conversation that this woman might be connected to the Yamada-gumi in Japan!”

"Just as I thought!" Jiang Lai murmured to himself.

Then Thirteen Sister gave Jiang a brief explanation of some information about Sasaki.

Although the information was limited, it confirmed to Jiang Lai that this woman indeed had a background with Japanese influence.

"Jiang Zi, what happened?" Thirteen Sister asked Jiang Lai with some confusion. She was also quite curious as to why Jiang Lai would suddenly ask her about this woman.

"It's nothing, just a quick look!" Jiang Lai smiled and said in a relaxed tone.

He didn't want to involve Thirteen Sister.

"Tch, I know you too well. If you don't want to talk, then forget it!" Thirteen Sister didn't press Jiang Lai when she saw that he was unwilling to talk.

"Thanks, Sister Mei!" Jiang Lai said gratefully.

"Be careful in your actions. Call me anytime if you need anything, okay?" Thirteen Sister said earnestly to Jiang.

"Okay!" Jiang Lai smiled and readily agreed.

I haven't seen Thirteen Sister for quite a while now. I should definitely go see her when I have some free time; after all, she's my idol, and it wouldn't be good to neglect her for too long. (#^.^#)

I had just hung up the phone with Thirteen Sister when my phone rang again.

"Boss, we found it!" It was Dongdong calling. He had found the place Jiang had mentioned.

Chapter 31 Advance Arrangements

"Wait for me there, I'll be right there!" Jiang said, and immediately headed towards the location Dongdong had indicated.

Half an hour later, Jiang Lai arrived at his destination following the route Dong Dong had given him.

The area around the factory is sparsely populated, and the entire factory is hidden by dense jungle.

Several factory buildings surrounded a large open space in the middle. Comparing it to the scene in my memory, it was indeed this place.

Due to its long-term abandonment, the entire factory area looks dilapidated and filled with a deathly and empty atmosphere. The walls have long since faded and become mottled under the erosion of time.

Near the abandoned factory, the only sounds besides birdsong are the whistling of the wind as it sweeps through the empty factory area.

This tranquil atmosphere even made Jiang's underlings feel a sense of oppressive loneliness.

"Boss?" Dongdong looked at Jiang Lai with some confusion. He didn't know why the boss had asked them to find this place, since there was nothing around here.

Jiang Lai didn't speak, but continued to look around. After a while, he spoke.

"Well, brothers, you've worked hard. Here's 20,000 yuan. Take it and distribute it among the brothers so they can go back first!"

With the location found, Jiang Lai felt at ease. The next step was to make arrangements in advance.

"Okay, boss!" Dongdong took the money from Jiang Lai and then distributed it to his underlings.

"Thank you, boss!"

"Thank you, boss!"

After receiving the money, the henchmen were overjoyed, saying that this money was much easier to obtain than fighting.

"Okay, remember not to tell anyone!" Jiang Lai nodded to them and then added his instructions.

"Don't worry, boss!" the underlings replied.

Although they didn't know why their boss was looking for this place, as his underlings, they wouldn't pry.

"Dongdong, what do you think about us setting up a garment factory here?" Jiang Lai looked around the factory area and asked thoughtfully.

Although the place is now dilapidated, it is large enough that with proper renovation, it could become a nice place.

"A garment factory?" Dongdong was a little confused by Jiang Lai's idea. Did the boss find this place just to set up a factory?

If it's for setting up a factory, why make it so mysterious?

Although he wasn't quite sure what Jiang Lai was thinking, Dongdong still honestly replied, "Boss, the environment and location here are great, I think it's pretty good!"

Yes! Jiang Lai's words to Dongdong cannot be denied.

"Okay, then go and find out if you can take over this place!" Jiang Lai said to Dongdong while looking at the factory area.

"Okay, boss!" Dongdong responded immediately to Jiang Lai's instructions.

"Alright, you take the brothers back first, I'll go back by myself later!" Jiang Lai prepared to observe more carefully and see how to arrange the personnel more reasonably.

He planned to ambush them here beforehand and capture them as soon as they arrived.

After Jiang Lai finished speaking, Dongdong nodded to him and then left with a few of his brothers.

Jiang Lai was the only one left in the entire factory area.

Jiang Lai walked through the entire factory area, inside and out, and surveyed the entire factory area and the surrounding environment.

They then returned to Tongcai Street.

Jiang Lai gathered Li Hua and the others, told them his arrangements, and instructed everyone to bring their weapons.

Before you knew it, the deadline Sasaki had given Abu arrived.

In the movie, Abu should have arrived in Hong Kong tonight and come as agreed to fight Sasaki's henchmen with his bare hands, which led to the spectacular scene of him taking on a hundred men single-handedly.

Jiang Lai also called Abu, but the call didn't go through.

Jiang Lai also understood Abu's thoughts.

On the edge of the abandoned factory, a patch of overgrown land contrasted sharply with the concrete floor of the factory buildings. The weeds swayed in the wind, and the branches and leaves of the trees began to rustle.

Jiang Lai and his hundred thugs in suits had already laid an ambush around the factory area. Some hid in the bushes in the open space, some used the walls of the abandoned factory as cover, and others were responsible for controlling the high ground and observing the surrounding environment at all times.

The henchmen, dressed in black suits, lurked in the shadows of the factory, trying to keep their breathing and heartbeats steady, as if they had become one with their surroundings.

Jiang Lai and his two henchmen hid behind the wall on the second floor, behind the spot where Sasaki had hung Xiao He, and waited quietly.

Before we knew it, the sky began to darken with clouds, a gloomy atmosphere spread, the air became heavy, and an invisible pressure seemed to slowly descend.

Large clouds began to churn in the sky, and a gentle breeze blew from all directions, carrying a damp scent. The factory buildings and the surrounding grass were shrouded in the gloomy sky, appearing exceptionally quiet.

As dusk deepened, a light rain began to fall, and a bolt of lightning ripped across the night sky above the horizon.

At this moment, the sound of shoes hitting the ground gradually rose, and a large number of footsteps walked towards the factory area.

Jiang Lai twitched his ears and narrowed his eyes, observing from the shadows in the corner.

The leader, dressed in flowing red robes, was flamboyant and unrestrained in his allure. Surrounded by his numerous henchmen, he appeared exceptionally elegant and imposing, radiating a powerful and dazzling aura.

Behind them, a large group of men in black followed closely, seemingly sensing the approaching storm, and they moved quickly toward the factory area.

It was Sasaki Miho and her group that arrived.

As night deepened, Jiang Lai and his men quietly lay in ambush around the factory area, making no sound whatsoever. Their figures were shrouded in shadow, with the underlings hiding in the dilapidated factory buildings, on the rooftops, and in the bushes.

A huge encirclement was formed from all directions, enveloping Sasaki and his group.

As Sasaki arrived, rain began to fall from the sky. Soon, the raindrops fell like stones, hitting the abandoned factory, the cold surface, and the grass and trees.

The raindrops fell with a dull thud, and in this weather, even the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, as if foreshadowing an impending fierce battle.

After arriving, Sasaki and the others inspected the factory. Perhaps they didn't expect anyone to be lying in ambush there, and due to the weather, they didn't investigate too thoroughly.

Jiang Lai and the others, who were hiding in the shadows, were unaware of this.

Although the factory was abandoned, the electrical circuits were still intact. After trying for a long time, Sasaki's men actually managed to connect the lights in the factory area, and for a moment, the lights pierced the darkness.

"Hang her up!" Sasaki pointed at Xiaohe and ordered his underlings.

Upon hearing this, the younger brother tied Xiaohe's hands, pulled her up, and hung her straight under the light, so that Abu could see her more clearly.

Jiang Lai also noticed that Sasaki had brought more than a hundred people, and some of them were armed.

However, she didn't carry many firearms; they were only carried by some of her close confidants. Their waists were bulging, presumably because they carried pistols.

"Do you think he will come to save you?" Sasaki asked Xiaohe, who was hanging up, casually.

Chapter 32 I'll Bet with You

Sasaki's words left Xiaohe somewhat silent.

“You’ve done so many bad things, the police will definitely catch you!” Xiaohe didn’t answer Sasaki’s question directly, but threatened him instead.

Although she liked Abu and could tell that Abu had some feelings for her, she really lacked confidence.

"And what about your friend? If he killed someone, would you arrest him?" Sasaki asked dismissively.
