Chapter 10

The cold voice!

The cold gun barrel!

And that familiar tone!

Da Shengxiong slowly turned around, looking at the person pointing the gun at him, and then said with a forced smile, "It's you, Brother Xi Jiu. What's the meaning of this?"

Chen Xijiu poked Da Shengxiong's head with the gun, "What's the meaning? You know it! Do you need me to teach you?" He then hit Da Shengxiong's forehead with the butt of the gun with a "slap."

Da Shengxiong's forehead split open, blood seeping out, and his previous arrogance was gone.

Chen Xijiu was in charge of the Wan Chai dock area, which was exactly where Da Shengxiong made his living. He usually couldn't show enough respect, let alone dare to resist.

"Boss, are you okay?"

"Brother Xiong, are you okay?"

Two subordinates stepped forward to help, but Da Shengxiong stopped them, forcing a smile on his face, "Don't move! Brother Xi Jiu is just joking with me. We should give him some face."

"Who's joking with you?!" Chen Xijiu hit Da Shengxiong's other forehead with the gun butt, "I'm a cop, you're a thief, I'm playing with your mother?!"

"Alright, have you had enough? I, Da Shengxiong, am not without a temper!" Da Shengxiong was furious after being beaten up.

Chen Xijiu laughed, pointing the gun at Da Shengxiong's head, "What, not happy? If you're not happy, come on, let's see if your axe is faster or my bullet is faster?"

Da Shengxiong was speechless again, glaring at Chen Xijiu with hatred but not daring to resist.

This is the authority of a cop!

Chen Xijiu then turned to Shi Zhijian and said, "Mr. Shi, is everything okay?"

"Everything's fine, thanks for your help!"

"No problem!" Chen Xijiu said, handing over Lai Lo's business card to Shi Zhijian, "Brother Lai gave this to you and said to have tea when you have time."

"Thank Brother Lai for me!" Shi Zhijian smiled.

Da Shengxiong, who was listening, was startled. Brother Lai? Could it be Lai Lo!

Yes, Chen Xijiu is Lai Lo's right-hand man, who else could it be?

Thinking of this, Da Shengxiong took a deep breath, looking at Shi Zhijian, not understanding when he became a young master and what his relationship with Lai Lo was.

Seeing Shi Zhijian take Lai Lo's business card, his shock deepened. Everyone knew that Lai Lo's business card was not easily given!

Da Shengxiong was drenched in sweat!

Who is Lai Lo?

One of the Four Inspectors!

With a temper, he never lets a slight go unpunished!

If you offend him, you're as good as dead!

Just as Da Shengxiong was in a state of shock, Chen Xijiu turned back and said to him, "Da Shengxiong, those two hits were just to help Mr. Shi vent. As for the rest of your grievances, I won't interfere. You deal with it yourself!"

Who is Chen Xijiu? Someone who will be favored by the Four Inspectors in the future, he is no ordinary person.

He knows when to act and when to stop.

The two hits on Da Shengxiong were a favor to Shi Zhijian, and the rest would be left for them to resolve on their own.

…

Da Shengxiong is also a smart person. Seeing Chen Xijiu leave, he was thinking about how to make peace with Shi Zhijian.

Although he didn't know when Shi Zhijian and Lai Lo met, the rumor in the underworld was that getting Lai Lo's business card was like getting a "get out of jail free" card. Anyone who dared to offend him was asking for trouble.

The more Da Shengxiong thought about it, the more scared he became. Now he was in a bind and could only take a loss and call it quits.

But before Da Shengxiong could initiate a peace talk, a voice from not far away said, "Mr. Shi, I've been looking for you!"

As he spoke, a young man in a red suit, looking cool and stylish, walked over with a subordinate, exuding a carefree and unrestrained air.

"Hey, Da Shengxiong, what are you doing here? Where's your boss, Zhang Jiuding? Last time he lost me eight thousand in a card game!" The young man looked surprised when he saw Da Shengxiong.

Da Shengxiong was even more surprised because the young man in front of him was his boss, the third son of Xu Shipping Company, Xu Shixun, whom even the big boss Zhang Jiuding had to flatter!

Xu Shixun casually asked Da Shengxiong a question and immediately turned his attention back to Shi Zhijian, "Mr. Shi, you may not know me, but I have admired you for a long time----you won with my 'Black Lightning,' I was so moved!"

Shi Zhijian immediately knew who he was, smiling, "The famous first young master of Hong Kong----Xu Shao, how could I not know you?"

"What? I'm that famous, even the first in Hong Kong?" Xu Shixun was excited, finding Shi Zhijian's words very pleasing to the ear.

"Of course, I've heard that you are good at appreciating music and especially cherish women. Countless beauties in Hong Kong are infatuated with you, so it's said that if you don't know Xu Shao, you're not a hero!" It was 1967, and Jin Yong's "The Deer and the Cauldron" hadn't been written yet, so Shi Zhijian directly used a line from it.

"Ha ha, your words are very pleasing to the ear. Although I know you're flattering me, it feels good!" Xu Shixun opened his fan, "In short, I'm determined to be friends with you! How about it, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to drinks and music on a flower boat and let you enjoy Nie Yongqin's performance, the 'Queen of Kowloon,' as a thank you for helping me win so much money!"

"Wow!" Da Shengxiong, who was standing by, drew a sharp breath, almost numb with shock. Xu Shao was actually offering to be friends with Shi Zhijian? First Lai Lo, now Xu Shao, oh my God, is this for real?!

"Sorry, Shao, I have something to do today!" Shi Zhijian said calmly.

Da Shengxiong's mind went blank. He actually refused Xu Shao?

Others were also stunned. Many people would be scrambling to be friends with Xu Shao, and now he was being refused?

Even Xu Shixun was taken aback. He rarely got refused when he extended an invitation, but this feeling of being refused... well, it was actually quite good!

"If you don't mind, how about the day after tomorrow? I'll definitely make time to attend!" Shi Zhijian played hard to get, knowing that making friends with these young masters was like courting a woman, it couldn't be rushed, it had to be gradual.

Sure enough, Xu Shao clapped his fan, "Alright! It's a deal! I'll have Ah Xiang pick you up then!"

"Thank you!"

It could be said that Xu Shao had a very good first impression of Shi Zhijian.

As he was about to leave, Xu Shao remembered Da Shengxiong, pointing at him with his fan, "Remember to have your boss pay me back the eight thousand he owes me!"

…

"Da Shengxiong, now it's time to settle our accounts!"

After Xu Shao left, the last person Da Shengxiong wanted to face was Shi Zhijian.

Mainly because Shi Zhijian's impact on him was too great, one wave after another, almost numbing him.

But Shi Zhijian didn't let him off, immediately demanding to "settle accounts" with him.

Da Shengxiong looked at his two subordinates.

The two subordinates turned their heads away.

Don't joke around, Shi Zhijian not only knew Lai Lo but was also a "good friend" of Xu Shao. Who could afford to offend him?

With no choice, Da Shengxiong had to tough it out, looking at Dumb Qiang, rubbing his hands, and smiling awkwardly, "Brother Qiang, please say a word for me!"

Dumb Qiang was stunned, his eyes wide open, not expecting to suddenly be promoted to "Brother Qiang." In the past, he had to follow Da Shengxiong's orders at the dock, but now Da Shengxiong was begging him like a boss.

Dumb Qiang's vanity was instantly satisfied, and he couldn't help but look at Shi Zhijian, "Ah Jian, what do you think...?"

Shi Zhijian sighed, patting Da Shengxiong's shoulder, "To give Brother Qiang some face, bring ten thousand tomorrow!"

Da Shengxiong was slightly stunned, then immediately happy, "Alright, I'll go get the money! I'll definitely deliver it to your place tomorrow!"

Twenty thousand reduced to ten thousand, quite a discount!

At this moment, Da Shengxiong completely forgot that he was there to collect a debt!
