Chapter 1173 It's truly disheartening to see someone so hopeless.
When Aqing saw this, he was startled. Lianhu's face was full of anger, and he lifted Axin high with one large hand. He didn't know what had happened, so he could only smile and beg Lianhu.
"Brother Tiger, Brother Tiger, Brother Tiger, I was just being silly, please don't be angry. What did he do wrong? Tell me, and I'll teach him slowly."
Lian Hu let out a low growl. He didn't quite understand what Ah Xin was saying, but he understood when Ah Xin called Da Bao a spendthrift.
He said Da Bao was a spendthrift...
Ah Qing was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He jumped up and kicked Ah Xin in mid-air. Ah Xin's vision went black and he could hardly breathe, but he knew that his older brother was angry and had kicked him.
He struggled to squeeze out a few words.
"Save...save...my...elder...brother..."
Ah Qing was trembling with rage. This damn bastard, after running around for half a year, thought he was something special. Now, apart from his older brother, he looked down on everyone else and even gave himself the nickname "Thunder Tiger."
Aqing kept begging Lianhu to put his hands together in a gesture of apology. Lianhu respected two people the most in his life: his elder brother Xiao Erduo and his brother Qin Dabao. He would risk his life if anyone dared to say anything to them.
Ah Bao ran over and gently patted Lian Hu's arm. Lian Hu listened to Ah Bao and slowly let go of his hand. Ah Xin fell to the ground, panting heavily.
Ah Qing was exasperated and pointed at Ah Xin, scolding him.
"You worthless bastard, how dare you be so arrogant now? You dare to talk about Young Master Qin behind his back? Do you even deserve it? Don't even mention you, I wouldn't be qualified to carry Young Master Qin's shoes."
Ashin finally caught his breath. He looked up at his older brother with resentment, then at his brothers. He was startled. His older brother's eyes were full of disappointment, but his brothers' eyes were cold and icy, sending chills down his spine.
One of his brothers said coldly.
"Watch your mouth, or you'll be back home selling salted duck eggs."
This was a brother he'd known for five or six years. Although not his direct subordinate, he always called him "Brother Xin." How dare he speak to him like that today? And judging from the expressions of the other brothers around him, they seemed to agree wholeheartedly.
Ashin isn't stupid; he knew he must have said something wrong, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so severe.
He slowly got up, pulled Aqing aside, and asked in a low voice.
"Boss, who exactly is this Young Master Qin? Why do you all seem so afraid of him?"
Ah Qing didn't want to talk to him, but then she thought that if she didn't explain things clearly to him, he might say something offensive to Young Master Qin, and then she would be doomed.
Ah Qing said with a wry smile.
"Ah-Xin, didn't your older brother tell you to tone down your temper? You're always so dissatisfied and resentful, as if you can look down on everyone just because you killed someone or ran away?"
Let me tell you straight, even if you gossiped about Mr. Guo today, the brothers would at most give you a beating or a kick, then laugh it off and we'd do whatever we wanted. But you dared to speak ill of Young Master Qin; you probably won't even know how you died.
Ah-Xin was startled and quickly took out a cigarette to offer to his older brother.
"Boss, don't scare me."
Ah Qing snorted through his nose.
"Scare you? Try to scare you with Young Master Qin? You're not worthy of it. Let me tell you this: half a year ago, Taiwanese people fled into Kowloon Walled City and colluded with Prince Ming, the overlord of Kowloon Walled City, and almost burned down half of Kowloon."
Young Master Qin, along with Lian Hu, just the two of them, entered the walled city and brutally killed over two hundred people, wiping out the three major factions within the city. Prince Ming was dead, Tornado lay in bed for three whole months, and Tiger-Slaying Protector Li Cunxiao didn't even dare to show his face. Especially the Taiwanese people—they were stuffed into gasoline drums, filled with cement, transported to international waters, and thrown into the sea.
You dare speak ill of someone like that? Are you tired of living?
Ashin was speechless for a long time before finally speaking.
"Really?"
Ah Qing smacked him on the back of the head and scolded him in a low voice.
"Just look at the brothers' reactions, and you'll know whether it's true or not... Alright, the gunboat is docked, Young Master Qin has arrived. Let me tell you, you bastard, watch your mouth. If you utter any more nonsense, I can't save you."
Da Bao carried Cuicui and slowly walked up to the dock. Guo Yingnan had already received the news and hurriedly waved his hand. Several doctors and nurses from Mingxin Hospital rushed over with a stretcher, took Cuicui, and immediately put her into the ambulance. The ambulance drove away with its siren blaring.
Da Bao hugged Guo Yingnan, then held Xiao Erduo's hand and looked him up and down for a long time. Xiao Erduo laughed and hit him.
"I'm fine, why are you looking at me? Didn't you say your sister-in-law was here? Where is she?"
Da Bao smiled and hugged Lian Hu before returning to the gunboat. Carrying, supporting, and assisting the three children, he led Zuo Mingyue to the dock.
Before the Dongxing Society's underlings could even greet them, they gasped in surprise as a huge white tiger and a white wolf cautiously stepped onto the dock from the boat's planks.
Da Bao turned around and smiled. Who would have thought that two overlords of the jungle would get seasick?
Guo Yingnan had been to the Arab world, where wealthy people liked to keep black leopards, so he wasn't surprised that Da Bao kept a pet.
The underlings caused a commotion for a while, but finally calmed down, and everyone bowed and shouted together.
"Welcome, Young Master Qin."
Da Bao smiled, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and then turned around and kicked Guo Yingnan.
"Hey Lao Guo, you guys can come if you want, but why are you bothering the brothers? It's past midnight, hurry up and find a place for the brothers to have morning tea, it's on me."
Guo Yingnan liked Da Bao treating him this way, feeling that this was how one truly treats someone like family. He turned around and called out.
"Brothers, let's have morning tea at Lianxianglou. Young Master Qin is treating."
The more than three hundred Dongxing Society brothers present shouted in unison.
"Thank you, Young Master Qin."
Da Bao smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful greeting. Just then, a gust of wind blew, and a large white bird swooped down, landing on Da Bao's shoulder. A white egret nestled in Da Bao's ear, and a few eagle cries rang out.
Da Bao nodded slightly, turned to look at the other side of the dock, and then smiled meaningfully. He whispered a few words, and the white egret leopard flapped its wings and took flight.
Everyone present was stunned. No one recognized the species of this large bird, and even those who did couldn't believe that the egret, the aerial overlord of the snowy mountains of the Western Regions, had actually come here...
Lin Heung Tea House, built in 1926, is the most famous tea house in Hong Kong. The shrimp dumplings there are especially delicious, but they are expensive and few of the locals can afford them. Now, just hearing that one can have morning tea at Lin Heung Tea House makes the fatigue of waiting early in the morning disappear.
Da Bao and his gang got into the car, but most of the underlings ran away. It took a while for the Central Ferry Pier to return to peace...
