Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Chapter 230 Reflection and Stubbornness

Liu Xu had quietly put the pistol back into the system space. He stood quietly where he was, watching Guan Hai's gradually blurred figure with deep eyes as he walked away.

This farewell tonight might be forever, and the chance of them meeting again is very slim.

He will not touch the arms business easily in the next five years.

Uncle Hai's current state, his exhaustion and old age as if his soul had been taken away, made Liu Xu wonder whether he could hold on for another five years in this troubled world.

When Uncle Hai's figure completely disappeared at the entrance of the alley, Liu Xu took a deep breath, turned around and walked in the opposite direction with big strides.

When he reached the alley behind the boxing gym, he used the inertia of running to leap over the back wall of the gym with nimble body and easily flipped into the office on the second floor.

Then, he walked quietly through the corridor and stairwell and returned to his private bedroom on the third floor.

Tonight's conversation with Uncle Hai was like a mirror, making Liu Xu deeply realize that he may have underestimated the complexity and wisdom of human hearts before.

Whether it was Windsor cleverly linking Zhou Xiang with him through the Lin Fadong incident; or Uncle Hai's subtle test of him through the exposed skin on his neck.

They were like sharp blades, piercing his vigilant heart accurately and deeply.

This forced Liu Xu to re-examine the world and his past actions.

"Lin Fadong fled back to China with money" and "Zhou Xiang encountered an explosion".

The two cases came to an end after Windsor gave him a clear assurance that all investigations would be terminated and asserted that no third-party cases would be reopened.

The reason why he was so sure was that the Director of the Transportation Department, Handel, told Liu Xu about Windsor's specific identity when they were dealing with each other in the afternoon.

It turns out that Windsor is not only the daughter of the patriarch of a powerful British duke family, but also the niece of the current British female prime minister, who is extremely beloved and regarded as the apple of her eye.

With these two dazzling halos, Liu Xu had complete faith in Windsor's ability to fulfill his promise and settle everything, without any doubt at all.

As for the "terrorist attack" that occurred in the Repulse Bay villa area, the police blamed it on the "Vietnamese gang" and carried out a "shoot-to-kill operation" in the name of "anti-terrorism".

So far, the three "big events" that Liu Xu had participated in have all come to a successful conclusion.

Once the Hong Kong police's "anti-terrorism" operation was exposed by the media, it immediately caused an uproar in Hong Kong Island.

Major newspapers competed to report on the incident, sparing no effort to praise the police for their courage and responsibility in maintaining social peace and stability.

However, the reactions of major community groups in Hong Kong Island were completely different.

They are part of the underworld, just like the Vietnamese gang, so they naturally know the details of the Vietnamese gang very well.

The people in this gang, from the big boss to the ordinary members, act lawless, but it is pure nonsense to say that they are terrorists.

However, after mobilizing police contacts, we learned that the operation was ordered personally by the Governor of Hong Kong, His Excellency Sir Alex Ferguson.

The leaders and chairmen of all the major societies warned their subordinates in stern tones that they must behave themselves and not cause trouble during this period of time.

Influenced by this, the previously active gangsters have restrained their behavior and retreated to their respective territories, and the law and order situation in Hong Kong has been significantly improved as a result.

Ordinary citizens were delighted by this, and some even ate a few extra bowls of rice to celebrate!

As Liu Xu closed his eyes again and again, and opened them again and again, time had quietly slipped into the embrace of late June.

During this period of quiet and stability, we benefited from the stern warnings from the leaders and chiefs of major social organizations.

The underground world of Hong Kong Island seemed to have been paused, and everything became unusually calm.

The Kwun Tong area, a place once filled with violence and chaos, has now ushered in unprecedented peace and tranquility.

Fei Mao, who was sent to Kwun Tong by Liu Xu, successfully occupied the territory of the Vietnamese gang without being blocked by any force.

At noon, the sun shone through the clouds, casting mottled shadows. After enjoying a hearty lunch, Liu Xu drove to the "Harbor Shooting Club" with a sense of comfort and satisfaction.

Although the time in Hong Kong Island has quietly approached July, indicating that the scorching heat of midsummer is about to come, pedestrians on the streets still maintain their elegant attire in suits and ties.

If he hadn't seen the sweat oozing from their foreheads, he would have almost thought that the hot weather had no effect on these men in suits.

He shook his head slightly, sighed inwardly that "there are too many rules in the Hong Kong workplace", and then closed his eyes to rest.

Walking into the "Harbor Shooting Club", Liu Xu was instantly surrounded by the unique smell of gun grease and the cool constant temperature in the room, forming a sharp contrast with the stuffiness outside.

Inside the club, a few sparse members were practicing shooting on the shooting range; the sound of gunfire and the echoes intertwined into a unique background music.

Liu Xu walked through the exhibition area with ease and walked steadily towards the shooting training ground.

As he passed the reception area, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a familiar silhouette.

In a quiet corner of the reception area, a middle-aged man with eyes as sharp as a hawk was sitting on the sofa with a frown on his face.

He flipped through the documents in his hands intently, as if the whole world was attracted by the paper in his hand.

Thinking back to the taxi license, Liu Xu stopped involuntarily. He quickly adjusted his facial expression and put on a warm smile.

Then he changed his direction and walked straight towards the reception area.

As the distance got closer, Liu Xu saw more clearly Mike's furrowed brow and slightly pale face, which undoubtedly showed that his recent condition was not satisfactory.

"Hey, Mr. Mike, long time no see!"

Liu Xu greeted enthusiastically, and at the same time his eyes fell on the documents in Mike's hand, and added: "It seems that you have been very busy recently."

Hearing the voice, Ke looked up and recognized Liu Xu at a glance.

The check for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars lying quietly in the safe at home suddenly came to his mind, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he quickly returned to his usual composure.

"Yes, Mr. Liu. Although the society has been much quieter recently, cases are still emerging one after another."

Mike sighed, put down the documents in his hand, and rubbed his temples gently. It was obvious that the work pressure during this period had made him feel a little exhausted.

Liu Xu keenly noticed the strangeness in Mike's words. His thoughts were racing, and he instantly remembered what Scorpion Tail reported to him two days ago.

"It is said that there have been a series of robberies of gold shops in Wong Tai Sin recently."

Liu Xu calmed down his thoughts and sat opposite Mike, a puzzled look on his face and a hint of concern in his eyes. He asked:

"What's wrong? Has a major case occurred in the territory under your jurisdiction?"

The other party is the senior superintendent of Kowloon East Region and the head of Organized Crime and Triads. The jurisdiction covers not only Wong Tai Sin and Kwun Tong districts, but also part of Yau Tsim Mong district.

According to Liu Xu's status in the society, Mike can be regarded as his biggest enemy. However, the relationship between the two is not hostile, but rather they are somewhat respectful.

Mike was not wary or displeased by Liu Xu's identity. He sighed slightly, leaned back slightly, and sank into the soft sofa:

"Recently, there have been several heinous robberies of gold shops in Wong Tai Sin District."
