Chapter 160 The leader returns to Hong Kong Hong Kong Island is a city with lots of wind and rain. It seems that every typhoon blowing from the South Pacific has to pay a visit to this pan-Asian pearl before reluctantly turning elsewhere.
After the Observatory hoisted the No. [-] typhoon warning signal, all ports were suspended. Rows of ships were tightly tied together with chains and cables, one end on the ship and the other end connected to the dock, nervously waiting for the passage of the typhoon.
In the wind and rain, a ship was slowly breaking through the waves and swaying into the port.
The violent storm seemed to penetrate through every crack, beating the cabin and deck constantly.
"Come on, little brother, don't cry. I have two pieces of chocolate here."
A foreigner with blond hair, blue eyes, a hooked nose, and high cheekbones was looking at the crying little boy in front of him with a smile.
When he reached out and handed over the two pieces of chocolate, even the boy's timid and weak mother couldn't help crying. She picked up the child and staggered away, ignoring the bumpy cabin.
This made Smith a little embarrassed, so he could only put the chocolate back into his pocket and scratch his head in confusion.
"Mr. Smith, she is a country woman. She probably came to Hong Kong Island with her children to live with relatives. She has never seen the world, so don't be offended."
"What is there to blame? As a gentleman, I am very patient with women and children."
Smith smiled broadly and looked at the person talking to him.
The man was wearing a black mandarin gown and a melon hat on top. He was young and had a rosy face.
He looks straight and upright, with no flaws or defects to be found. His eyes are bright and lively, and there is a long breath in his words. He is obviously a good at cultivating Qi.
His hands are stable and dry, with distinct and slender knuckles. There is a green thumb ring on his right thumb, which is particularly eye-catching.
In this strong wind and waves, others had exhausted their efforts just to stay in their seats. They were swaying with the wind and waves, but he sat still. No matter how big the waves hit, his shoulders, hands and feet did not move. Move half a minute and be as steady as a rock.
This person is none other than He Lisheng's current speaker, Long Gen.
Glancing at the pier where the outline could already be seen, Smith turned his head to Long Gen and asked with a smile: "It seems that the election of He Lisheng's new speaker will start soon, right?"
Long Gen curled his lips with disdain on his face, "It's just a trick used by my uncles to make money. When Hong Wu was still here, why didn't I hear that there should be an election every two years?"
After a pause, a mysterious smile appeared on his face again, "Mr. Smith, please don't worry, it will definitely be me this year."
"That's good."
Smith lowered his head and glanced at his cleanly trimmed nails, "I like stable partners. Changing partners is troublesome."
"This is natural. I dare say that there is no one in Hong Kong who has the ability to solve your request, Mr. Smith, like me."
Without comment, Smith asked: "By the way, the Fourth Master Jin from Kowloon Walled City is dead?"
"Dead. My spy saw his men taking away the body. He couldn't be more dead."
Smith paused, then hesitantly confirmed again, "The Four Heavenly Kings are also dead?"
"That's right!" Long Gen nodded and scratched his itchy face, "A boxer named the Emperor killed them all, not a single one was left."
Knowing what he wanted to ask, Long Gen continued: "The city is very complicated now. I heard that there are eight immortals, Hydra and other characters have come forward, and there are a lot of small fish and shrimps."
Looking around, he lowered his voice: "The most important thing is that the Kowloon boxing ring was overturned by explosives, causing a very serious accident and became the headlines of major newspapers. Now the attitude towards the Kowloon Walled City has changed. I'm a little conservative." It was originally a place with little oil and water, and it would only cause constant trouble.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be necessary to have money on hand and not be able to spend it after so many years. This plan to build high-end residential and commercial areas was originally negotiated with the mourning dog, and it was only started to be implemented after each family clearly discussed the distribution of benefits.
I just didn't expect that the biggest obstacle, Fourth Master Jin, was gone, and by the way, the four heavenly kings were also finished.
They can wait for the city to resume fighting and killing, and re-establish order and hierarchy, but the money masters outside cannot wait. The money in their hands is very hot, and they will be in trouble if they take it for a while.
Smith finally looked gloomy and took down a newspaper from the shelf nearby, which had just been delivered on the tender this morning.
No need to flip through the newspaper, the headlines are about the Kowloon Walled City.
"In the early morning of June 6, a violent explosion occurred at the Kowloon Boxing Arena in the Kowloon Walled City. Hundreds of spectators were devastated before they had time to disperse. Several gangsters were missing. There were heavy casualties at the scene. Many police detectives who attended the scene were injured, and the police have issued a wanted order for the ring leader Jin Wu and his gang..."
Clenching the newspaper in his hand, Smith's green eyes flashed coldly, but then disappeared and replaced with a smiling face.
"That emperor, can you find him?"
Long Gen shook his head: "My goddaughter told me that I was looking for him, but the man disappeared without a trace. No one knows his true identity. They only know that he is a master of Baguazhang."
"Forget it, there are always a few such strange people in history. After finishing their work, they retire and sneak into the sea of people. Our target is not him anyway, so don't make matters worse."
While they were talking, the ship docked firmly at the pier. After a small sampan was placed between the ship and the pier, the hatch opened and violent wind and rain poured into the cabin.
"Hurry up! The wind will get stronger if you leave later! The pier will be closed soon."
Under the urging from outside, the people in the cabin surged out like sardines. People were crowded together, their toes stepped on their ankles, and they lost countless shoes.
The two stood up, as if they didn't know each other, and walked away without even looking at each other.
When Long Gen walked out of the cabin door, he saw several people waiting for him with umbrellas not far away. They were all dressed in shorts and holding black umbrellas, standing in the wind and rain.
He smiled happily and walked past the rickety sampan. As soon as he landed, several people came up to him and protected him with umbrellas.
Under the umbrella, Thirteen smiled sweetly: "Master Qi, you've had a hard time on the road. Did your trip to the mainland go smoothly?"
Long Gen pushed a few strands of wet hair behind her ears with his hands, and said with a smile: "It's okay. He Lisheng's name is also used in the north. My colleagues should give me some face."
As he walked, he glanced at Thirteen again and asked in a low voice: "Are you injured?"
"Nothing? It's just a slap in the face."
"Huh?" Long Gen's eyes flashed coldly, and his voice became colder, "Where's that bastard?"
"already dead."
Hearing this, Long Gen's smile returned to his face, "Okay! She is indeed my goddaughter."
He turned to look at an entourage and said loudly: "Call the people in charge from North Point. Let's work hard at eight o'clock tonight!"
