Chapter 303: Daring
"Something is not right. Don't act rashly for now. Let's observe and see what happens."
After all, Lin Shiyan is an old hand, and his keen sixth sense issued a strong warning at this time.
Hearing this, although Tai Jiao was extremely anxious, he could only sit on the stool obediently and said, "If we wait any longer, the incense will soon burn out."
"By that time, everything will be too late..."
Lin Shiyan glanced at him and said, "It's just a ceremony for a former uncle to retire from the underworld. Even if you succeed in mixing it up, what practical effect will it have on Wei Longhao?"
"This kind of behavior that makes things worse has always been a minor issue and should not be tolerated."
"I asked you to wait, so just wait obediently..."
No matter how arrogant Tai Jiao was, he could still hear the deeper meaning of Lin Shiyan's words. These words were warning him that without the support of the Lin family, he would be nothing.
These words have deeply hurt Tai Jiao's heart and made him extremely angry.
But in front of Lin Shiyan, he didn't dare to show it. He could only have a dark face, an ugly smile on the corners of his mouth, lowered his head, sat on the chair, and said nothing.
Lin Shixia glanced at Tai Jiao and said nothing.
It's just a chess piece, but it actually wants to escape from his control. This means that this chess piece is not far from becoming abandoned.
No one cared about their conversation, because the lit incense had reached the end of its life and began to burn out slowly.
Tai Jiao glanced at the door, and it was still empty.
At this moment, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, was completely dead.
When the incense burned out, Huo Pao washed his hands carefully in a golden basin filled with clean water. Although his movements were slow, they were thorough enough.
It was as if he wanted to wash away all the blood that had been stained on his hands over the years.
The water in the golden basin wipes away all grudges, and everything disappears into thin air without looking back. From now on, the world of martial arts is no longer my land, and I am just a free and easy wandering cloud and wild crane.
Looking at this scene, everyone present had different expressions, and some even felt a little envious of the artillery.
The reason why Huopao was able to retire from the business without any trouble and live a life away from fighting and fear is because he had a leader like Wei Longhao supporting him from behind.
But if these people want to retire, most of them will probably not survive more than a year, as they will be visited by their former enemies, and the consequences can be imagined.
Therefore, for many people who have a high enough status, they actually want to retire, but they dare not take this step.
After all, if he continued to sit in this position, although there would be many attacks from both sides and he would be at risk of being killed at any time, in the end, no enemy would dare to come to him openly.
Therefore, they envied Huopao, envied him for having a leader who was loyal and righteous, and was willing to stand up at this time to protect his subordinates from wind and rain.
After Huo Pao washed his hands, he picked up a white towel beside him, wiped his hands, and slowly said: "The ceremony of washing hands with a golden basin has been completed. From now on, there is no Huo Pao in the world. Only a pastor who concentrates on preaching for Jesus is left."
"If anyone here has business in this area in the future, you can come to me and I will give you a 20% discount."
After saying this in a very casual manner, Huopao turned and left.
However, the moment he turned his head, there seemed to be sparkling tears in the corners of his eyes.
The Hutchison ceremony came to an end here, and some guests had already begun to leave in an orderly manner.
This made the police officers guarding the door subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
"As long as I don't cause any trouble, I'll be thankful. My wife is waiting for me to go home and make soup..."
"Don't be such a pessimist. If something happens, we'll beat you up together!"
"It seems that after tomorrow, Hong Kong will turn over a new leaf. Judging from Wei Longhao's style of doing things, the Hutchison ceremony this time will not be too peaceful..."
The police officers were filled with emotion as they directed traffic and chatted with their colleagues.
For many community members, it is definitely a novel experience to have police officers direct traffic under such circumstances.
At the same time, Luo Tianhong brought Lin Qingxia, who had been waiting for a long time, to Lin Zehao.
It has to be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe Lin Qingxia's appearance during this period as stunning.
Even for Lin Zehao, who is used to seeing all kinds of beauties, Lin Qingxia's charm is absolutely unique.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Lin Qingxia."
Lin Qingxia was impressed by Lin Zehao's youth and handsomeness, but when she thought of his identity, she became a little nervous.
"Hello, you're welcome, take a seat."
After Lin Zehao said this, the plane came in with Xiaozhuang.
After seeing this scene, A Mai and Luo Tianhong looked at each other, and seemed to intentionally or unintentionally focus their eyes on Xiao Zhuang.
It’s not that the aircraft is untrustworthy. As Hao’s two closest bodyguards, this is their duty.
After seeing Lin Qingxia sitting on the sofa, Fei Ji was stunned for a moment, then realized that he might not have come at the right time. He smiled awkwardly, pointed to the door, and said, "Brother Hao, how about you go ahead and do your work first, and I'll come back later?"
Lin Zehao laughed dumbly and said, "Since you're here, just tell me what you want to say."
While speaking, he seemed to unintentionally look at Xiaozhuang beside him. After finding that the other person looked familiar, he basically figured out the other person's identity.
But how could Xiaozhuang, a killer, appear here?
To this day, because of Lin Zehao's arrival, many butterfly effects have occurred, so many things that should have happened have been changed inadvertently.
Lin Zehao has long been accustomed to this.
"Brother Hao, his name is Xiao Zhuang, and he wants to ask you for an opportunity."
After Feiji finished speaking, Xiaozhuang knelt on the ground without any hesitation and said sincerely: "Brother Hao, I know your name. You are also famous for your loyalty in the martial arts world."
"Today, I dare to borrow three hundred thousand from you. If you don't mind, I will repay you with my life!"
"From today on, my life belongs to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
To Lin Qingxia, the scene before her eyes was extremely fresh and yet mysterious.
She knew Lin Zehao's identity, but she had never imagined that the boss's daily life would be like this.
This feeling made her curious and also refreshed her understanding of Lin Zehao.
Feiji didn't expect that Xiaozhuang actually came to "borrow money" from Brother Hao. This sudden change made him feel a little embarrassed.
Without informing him in advance and suddenly doing this to him, doesn't this make him unpopular with everyone?
What would Brother Hao think if I brought an outsider here and asked to borrow money?
No matter what, he was the one who introduced the person, and when something like this happened, the plane couldn't pretend not to see it.
Thinking of this, he wanted to pull up Xiaozhuang on the ground, but was stopped by Lin Zehao, "Airplane, this matter is not your fault, let him speak."
After hearing what Brother Hao said, Fei Ji immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Hao!"
Lin Zehao glanced at Xiaozhuang, took out a Marlboro, put it in his mouth, lit it with a pure gold Dupont lighter, and said, "I can lend you the banknotes, but what are you going to do with the three hundred thousand?"
Xiao Zhuang was silent for a moment, then said, "I plan to treat a woman whose eyes were injured because of me, and now she is blind."
"I plan to use this money to replace her cornea."
After hearing this, Lin Zehao immediately understood. According to Xiaozhuang's description, the woman should be the singer Jenny.
After figuring out the reason, Lin Zehao smiled and said, "Give him three hundred thousand."
Luo Tianhong did not hesitate at all. He took out a few stacks of Hong Kong dollars from the drawer and handed them to Xiaozhuang.
"I just happen to have a job for you. If you complete this job, the name of Hutchison will be added before your name."
Lin Zehao said it lightly, but Xiaozhuang's expression changed from astonishment to shock.
Xiaozhuang originally thought that Lin Zehao gave him 300,000 yuan so readily, but he had no intention of accepting him into the society.
Unexpectedly, I still gave him a chance!
For most people, being a killer is a very cool and high-paying job.
In fact, being a killer has nothing to do with being handsome.
In many cases, in order to assassinate a target, they not only disguise themselves as various professions, but also lurk for a long time in places that ordinary people would not expect, such as garbage dumps, toilets, and even cesspools...
As for the so-called high salary, it is also obtained by betting your life. If you fail in a mission, you may never see the sun tomorrow.
If given a choice, Xiaozhuang really doesn't want to be a killer.
However, after working as a killer for so many years, Xiaozhuang no longer has any other skills except killing.
If he could join He Sheng He, he would no longer have to worry about failing in a mission and dying in some deserted corner with a false identity.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Hao. Xiaozhuang will definitely live up to your kindness!"
Xiaozhuang forced himself to suppress his inner excitement, his face full of gratitude.
Maybe for Lin Zehao, this is just a simple sentence, but for Xiaozhuang, it is tantamount to changing his destiny!
Seeing this, Lin Qingxia was very moved. Although she didn't know the significance of joining Hutchison, judging from Xiaozhuang's reaction, it was definitely a very important thing.
Lin Qingxia didn’t know whether there were gods in this world.
But what she is sure of is that for the vast majority of people, Lin Zehao, who can change their destiny with just one word and one decision, is undoubtedly a god!
Although Lin Qingxia only saw the tip of the iceberg, she could get a glimpse of the whole picture. Lin Zehao's power would be even greater than she imagined.
If she were lucky enough to spend her life with such a man, Lin Qingxia would ask herself that she would definitely be marrying above her station.
The only question now is whether Lin Zehao is interested in her.
After Xiaozhuang and the others left, only Lin Zehao and Lin Qingxia were left in the room.
Even Ama and Luo Tianhong, who were always by his side, had disappeared and no one knew where they had gone.
As the sun set and the sky grew darker, Lin Qingxia wanted to say something, but was directly picked up by Lin Zehao and taken to the lounge.
Faced with such a strong arm, Lin Qingxia subconsciously wanted to resist, but when she saw Lin Zehao's handsome face and the power in his hands, she couldn't say anything.
Thousands of words can only turn into cries.
We are all adults. Since Lin Qingxia can appear here, it means that she has made her choice.
In this case, Lin Zehao does not need to beat around the bush. If he has something to say, expressing it through actions is a better and more direct way.
With both parties being willing, the storm became more and more violent, impacting Lin Qingxia's body and mind again and again.
……
Kowloon, Eight Immortals Restaurant.
After the Heji ceremony ended, Tai Jiao brought a few of his brothers and rushed here directly.
As soon as he entered the door, Tai Jiao sat at the table in the middle. Without him saying anything, the boss Wang Zhiheng came over with a few baskets of steaming buns.
"Brother Tai Jiao, you're here again. The barbecued pork buns are freshly baked. They are absolutely delicious!"
Wang Zhiheng's attitude was extremely humble, and anyone could see that he was intentionally trying to flatter Tai Jiao.
However, this is Xinji's territory, and his behavior is completely reasonable, so Taijiao and others naturally didn't think much about it.
The customers who came into the store first looked at the empty table in front of them. Even though they felt resentful, they finally endured it when they saw that Tai Jiao and his group of people were all so handsome that the word "Young and Dangerous" was almost written on their faces.
The customer didn't dare to get angry at Tai Jiao, so he could only look at Wang Zhiheng and ask, "Boss, when will our barbecued pork buns be ready?"
Wang Zhiheng pushed up the large glasses on his nose and said quickly, "Don't worry, it will be served soon. I'll give you a plate of side dishes later."
After hearing these words, the guests who had waited for a long time but still had nothing to eat finally felt less resentful.
Anyone who sees this scene will only think that Wang Zhiheng is a qualified boss who is not only humble enough, but also able to take care of the emotions of every customer.
At this time, one of the younger brothers smelled the tempting aroma of the barbecued pork buns, and his appetite was instantly aroused. His appetite immediately increased, and he could no longer resist the temptation. He reached out and grabbed a barbecued pork bun and wanted to stuff it into his mouth.
The next second, a pair of chopsticks hit the back of his hand with lightning speed.
"Ouch!"
With a snap, the younger brother felt pain in his hand and the bun in his hand fell to the ground immediately.
The younger brother took back the chopsticks in his hand and scolded the guy who didn't know the rules: "There are no rules. Brother Taijiao hasn't even moved his chopsticks. When will it be your turn?"
The little brother who was beaten finally reacted and said quickly: "Brother Tai Jiao, I'm sorry, I was ignorant, please don't take it to heart..."
It was because the barbecued pork bun was so fragrant, as if it had an invisible magic, that he couldn't help it.
I don’t know why, but ever since the Eight Immortals Restaurant changed its owner, the barbecued pork buns have become so delicious, attracting countless diners.
They are one of them.
Tai Jiao snorted coldly, picked up a barbecued pork bun, put it in his mouth, and after chewing it for a few times, he looked satisfied.
At this moment, the pug, who had been wagging its tail nearby, came running over and went straight to the barbecued pork bun that had fallen to the ground.
However, after the puppy sniffed the bun, it whimpered and not only did not eat it, but turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, the younger brother beside him said in amazement: "Dogs nowadays are really arrogant. They don't even want to eat barbecued pork buns. It's really rare."
Wang Zhiheng first picked up the barbecued pork bun that fell on the ground, and then quickly explained: "This dog is a stray dog. I felt sorry for it, so I often fed it with barbecued pork buns."
"It's been so long, maybe you've gotten tired of it..."
The younger brother did not doubt it, but just continued to joke: "These days, even dogs are tired of eating barbecued pork buns, but the boss's cooking skills are really good, and I will never get tired of eating them."
Hearing this, Tai Jiao picked up another barbecued pork bun and asked, "Boss, what's the secret of your buns?"
"How else could it be so delicious? Is there some secret recipe?"
Wang Zhiheng smiled shyly, but said meaningfully: "There is no secret. The barbecued pork buns in Hong Kong are all pretty much the same."
"If I have to say there's something special, it's probably that the meat I use is fresher."
"You know, when cooking, the most important thing is to have fresh ingredients..."
Tai Jiao and others nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, a group of people walked in.
For Tai Jiao, he could tell the identities and origins of these people at a glance.
"The cops are coming, don't be afraid, just keep eating."
Tai Jiao just glanced at it and then looked away. After giving an instruction, he continued to pick up the barbecued pork bun and started putting it into his mouth.
"Oh, it's Xinji Thai Pepper."
"What? Even the young and dangerous guys have changed their tastes now. They don't eat hot pot anymore, but prefer barbecued pork buns?"
Li Xiuyuan walked slowly, followed by three or four plainclothes police officers.
As a member of the West Kowloon Serious Crime Unit, he shouldn't have been here.
However, some time ago, some people found a large number of broken limbs while playing at the beach. After investigation by the police, they immediately determined that this group of people were the former boss of the Eight Immortals Restaurant, the Zheng family.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan, the inspector of the serious crime team, would appear here and be ordered to investigate the truth.
Tai Jiao curled his lips and said loudly: "Mr. Li, long time no see, do you also like to eat the barbecued pork buns here?"
"You're welcome. Eat as much as you want today. It's my treat, no matter how much you eat."
This is Xinji's territory. Taijiao didn't believe that Li Xiuyuan would dare to cause trouble with only a few people.
Therefore, he was completely fearless.
"Thank you for your kindness, but we have official business today and don't have time to eat the barbecued pork buns here."
After saying this, Li Xiuyuan slowly walked up to Wang Zhiheng.
