Hong Kong variety show: My Boss, Thirteen Sister

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wanfang cautiously raised her head, but still dared not look Jiang Lai in the eye.

Looking at the girl who was full of innocence and youth, Jiang Lai still asked her curiously, "How long have you been working here?"

"It's been... a few days!" Zhu Wanfang murmured softly.

"You just said you work here to earn money. What, are you short of money?" Looking at the girl in front of him, she didn't seem like a delinquent, and she didn't have any valuable jewelry on her. Jiang Lai asked with a hint of doubt.

"Um... I owe someone 100,000 yuan!" Zhu Wanfang said, her voice tinged with sadness.

"One hundred thousand yuan?" Jiang Lai was somewhat surprised. One hundred thousand yuan was nothing to him, but in this era, one hundred thousand yuan was definitely a large sum of money for ordinary people.

"Mmm!" Zhu Wanfang nodded softly, a hint of sadness in her voice.

Upon hearing Zhu Wanfang's answer, Jiang Lai knew there must be some story behind it, and his interest was piqued. He was ready to ask her more questions, but he was interrupted by a voice.

Chapter 51 Taking Causeway Bay

"Ah Lai!" Chen Haonan walked in, followed by a group of his underlings, a dark mass of people.

Chen Haonan was still holding a machete, wrapped in a cloth bag, with bloodstains on the blade. His clothes were somewhat tattered, and he looked slightly tired as he greeted Jiang Lai.

Zhu Wanfang was frightened when she saw Chen Haonan and the others. She took a few steps back behind the bar and leaned against the liquor cabinet.

"Hao Nan, is it all sorted out?" Jiang Lai asked Chen Hao Nan naturally, holding his wine glass.

"It's all taken care of. We've cleared out all of Brother Kun's venues," Chan Ho-nam replied excitedly.

After a slight pause, Chan Ho-nam continued:

"However, the casualties among our brothers are also considerable. I have already sent the other brothers to take the wounded to receive treatment!"

"Yes, you've worked hard!" Jiang Lai stood up and patted Chen Haonan on the shoulder.

Sweeping away Liang Kun's territory means that Jiang Lai has officially established his presence in Causeway Bay; now all that's missing is a formal identity.

"Ah Lai, I've had the cash and valuables in Liang Kun's place taken care of. The cash, in small amounts, adds up to more than 40 million!" Chen Haonan reported the spoils to Jiang Lai.

"Alright, Haonan, you'll be responsible for the brothers who were injured or killed. Figure out how much medicine and resettlement allowance you need, and let me know later!" Jiang Lai instructed Chen Haonan.

"Okay!" Chan Ho-nam nodded to Jiang Lai.

"By the way, Ah Lai!" Chen Haonan called out to Jiang Lai again.

"Hmm?" Jiang Lai looked at him with some confusion.

"A lot of heroin was also found in Liang Kun's place. What do you plan to do with it?" Chen Haonan asked Jiang Lai.

"Let's put it away first, then we'll get some lime and dissolve it with seawater!" Jiang Lai said without hesitation.

Jiang Lai has no intention of touching drugs unless they can be sold overseas. He wouldn't do something that would harm his own people. It's just a pity that he doesn't have any connections overseas right now, so Jiang Lai gave the order without hesitation.

"Okay!" Chan Ho-nam nodded and turned to leave.

"Abu, Li Hua!" Jiang Lai called out to Abu and Li Hua.

“Ah Lai!” Abu responded.

“Mr. Jiang!” Li Hua responded.

"Arrange for some of the brothers to watch the place, and the rest of you go back to Mong Kok first!" Jiang Lai said to Abu and Li Hua.

Abu and Li Hua nodded.

"Hey, girl, what's your name again?" After giving the order, Jiang Lai looked at the girl in the corner and suddenly forgot her name.

"Ah, my name is Zhu Wanfang!" Zhu Wanfang was startled when Jiang Lai suddenly turned around and spoke to her, and then answered.

"Zhu Wanfang... then I'll call you Xiaofang, okay?" Jiang Lai felt that Zhu Wanfang's name was a bit hard to remember, so he spoke up.

"Mmm!" Zhu Wanfang nodded cautiously and answered softly.

"Your cocktail is very well mixed, I like it very much!" Jiang Lai said casually, taking a sip of his drink.

"Thank you...!" Zhu Wanfang murmured in response.

Jiang Lai stared at her for a moment.

Zhu Wanfang also secretly glanced at Jiang Lai.

"You...you're a gangster?" Looking at Jiang Lai's handsome face, Zhu Wanfang mustered her courage and asked cautiously.

"Hmm? Doesn't it look like it?" Jiang Lai raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

"No...it doesn't look like it!" Zhu Wanfang shook her head.

Seeing that the battle was over and the others had left one after another without anyone making things difficult for her, she felt a little relieved and stopped being so careful with her words.

"How come it doesn't look like it?" Jiang Lai suddenly became interested and asked jokingly.

“You’re different from them. You’re not that scary. You look like a good person!” Zhu Wanfang said thoughtfully.

"Is that so?" Jiang Lai smiled slightly.

"Yes!" Zhu Wanfang nodded.

“Then you’re wrong. I’m not only a gangster, but a really fierce one!” Jiang Lai deliberately put on a menacing look and said to Zhu Wanfang.

Pfft!

Seeing Jiang Lai's actions, Zhu Wanfang couldn't help but laugh out loud, then quickly composed herself.

"You look quite pretty when you smile!" Jiang Lai said involuntarily as he looked at the girl who had just laughed.

"No...no!" Zhu Wanfang said shyly, lowering her head, her cheeks already flushed.

"By the way, you just said you owe someone 100,000 yuan, what's that about?" Jiang Lai asked with some confusion.

"I..." Upon hearing Jiang Lai's words, Zhu Wanfang seemed to have thought of something terrible.

Before she could even speak, glistening tears began to well up in her eyes.

Then, glistening tears rolled down her youthful cheeks, slowly flowing over her lips and dripping onto the ground with a soft patter. (P.S.: Unfortunately, no picture.)

"Hey, why are you crying?" Jiang Lai was a little confused; why did he suddenly start crying?

Suddenly, she put her arms under her forehead and slumped onto the table, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably and soft sobs escaping her lips. Her thin back convulsed violently, and tears streamed silently down her face.

Jiang Lai was startled by her actions.

"Hey, are you alright?" Jiang Lai couldn't stand seeing girls cry, but he didn't know what was going on, so he could only gently pat her shoulder and ask.

"I...I'm fine!" Hearing Jiang Lai's words, Zhu Wanfang raised her head, her small mouth pursed. Although she tried her best not to cry, tears kept falling down her face.

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Don't cry!" Jiang Lai didn't know what else to say, so he could only offer words of comfort.

"It's...Brother Xiaosai, he wants me to come up with 100,000 yuan within a month, or I'll be sold into prostitution!" Zhu Wanfang said, sobbing and trembling, with a hint of despair.

"Handsome guy? Sell you to be a prostitute?" Jiang Lai was a little confused.

"Yes!" Zhu Wanfang nodded, heartbroken.

"Who is Brother Xiaosai? Why is he so arrogant?" Jiang Lai asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Brother Xiaosai is Scarface’s older brother. He’s very fierce, and no one dares to mess with him!” Zhu Wanfang said tremblingly.

Nobody dares to mess with them?

Jiang Lai chuckled inwardly with disdain, but he didn't refute it.

"Then why do you owe him 100,000 yuan?" Jiang Lai took a sip of his drink and continued to ask.

Huh? That's it?

"Give me some more!" Before Zhu Wanfang could speak, Jiang Lai finished his drink and said to her.

"Oh!" Zhu Wanfang took Jiang Lai's glass and poured him the cocktail she had just had.

"Go on!" Jiang Lai gestured for Zhu Wanfang to continue.

"Brother Xiaosai said he spent 100,000 yuan hiring a lawyer and wants me to pay him back!" Then, Zhu Wanfang told Jiang Lai the whole story.

She came here to work after being introduced by a friend.

Chapter 52 Zhu Wanfang

After hearing Zhu Wanfang finish her story, Jiang Lai remembered who the girl in front of him was. He also recalled the dashing guy she mentioned—Crow Number Two. No wonder she looked so familiar at first.

"So that's how it is. What are you planning to do?"

Before Zhu Wanfang could speak, Jiang Lai continued, "You can't earn 100,000 yuan a month mixing drinks here!"

"I...I don't know either!" Zhu Wanfang was a little sad, and large tears began to fall again. She didn't know what to do, and just thought that she could earn as much as she could.

"Don't cry, I still prefer your smile!" Jiang Lai said as he saw Zhu Wanfang start crying again.

Woo! Woo!

Jiang Lai's words had no effect; instead, Zhu Wanfang cried even harder.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I'll take care of this for you!" Jiang Lai said helplessly.

"You?" Zhu Wanfang stopped crying when she heard Jiang Lai's words and looked at Jiang Lai in disbelief.

"Hmm, is there a problem?" Jiang Lai asked her calmly.

"No...no, it's just that Brother Xiaosai is very powerful. And why did you help me?" Zhu Wanfang asked cautiously, with a mixture of confusion and worry.

"Hmm? How should I put it?" Jiang Lai paused slightly, thought for a moment, and then continued:

"From now on, Causeway Bay is my territory. Since you're working in my territory, you're under my protection, so it's reasonable for me to help you, right?"

"Huh?" Zhu Wanfang felt a little incredulous.

"What do you mean 'ah'? It's settled then. As for that 'Handsome Bro,' I'll take care of it for you. It's no big deal!" Jiang Lai waved his hand dismissively.

Having already killed one crow, Jiang Lai could simply kill another one; he didn't take this mere dashing guy seriously.

"By the way, where do you live?" Jiang Lai asked.

“They live in Kowloon!” Zhu Wanfang said softly.

"Do you usually go back?" Jiang Lai checked the time; it was already quite late.
