The standard for eating a buffet is to never stop eating.
Wu Ming and the others sat at a round table, devouring their meals, specifically choosing seafood to start with, and basically not touching the staple food that made up the bulk.
Just when everyone was eating in a hurry, the beeping sound of the bb machine suddenly came, which made everyone's movements slow down a bit.
"Which street kid is looking for me at this time!" Niu Dada picked up a tissue, wiped his mouth randomly, and took out the BB player.
Seeing the number displayed on the bb machine, Niu Dada smiled at the corner of his mouth and waved to Wu Ming and others, "It's my backer calling me. It seems that the ID card has come down. I'll go call him back."
Niu Dada took the bb machine, walked a few steps to the bar, picked up the phone and started making calls.
Wu Ming and others were eating seafood and looked at Niu Dada who was making the call, but found that the other person's facial expressions changed from smile to solemnity, then from solemnity to panic, and finally settled on panic.
"The expression on his face is like that of a dead mother. It seems something is wrong." Liu Chengbei held the hairy crab and spoke in a low voice.
When Wang Yunxi heard this, she nodded slightly, put down the seafood in her hands, and said with confusion: "You think there is something wrong with our documents, right?"
"No, how could a look like a dead mother be revealed with just a few ID cards? It's probably that Niu Dada is in big trouble."
Under low voices, Niu Dada hung up the phone and walked over with a dark face.
With lifeless eyes, Niu Dada was like a walking zombie, slumped on the chair.
Before Wu Ming and the others could ask questions, he smiled stupidly and muttered: "It's over, I'm done now, I'm in big trouble!"
"Cousin, what's going on? Is your backer in trouble?" Niu Dashun asked, earning a silent nod from Niu Dada.
Niu Dada rubbed his face vigorously, with a bit of decadence, and whispered: "My patron touched someone else's girlfriend and was beaten up in the hotel. He is very angry now and wants me to find someone to do it."
Kill those people!"
After hearing such words, everyone raised their heads, but no one spoke easily.
Finally, it was Old Man Jiang who broke the silence and asked: "Killing is not a joke. Didn't you tell him to calm down?"
"It's easy to be jealous if you can't calm down. If you get beaten up, you'll accept it. But when my patron was playing with a woman, I revealed my identity to that woman. Now, those people took nude photos of him. This is no longer a matter of jealousy, but a matter of jealousy.
Something has fallen into the hands of the other party. He asked me to find people to do these things and get all the negatives back. This is non-negotiable?"
Niu Dada was crying, even sadder than his mother's death.
His patron had an unusual status. He was the nephew of a prominent figure in the Legislative Council.
Over the years, Niu Dada has been able to live freely because he has the support of the other party. If this matter is not handled well, not only will the previous friendship be in vain, but he will also be dealt with because he knows too much.
And more importantly, Niu Dada himself didn't know whether the group of people bumped into it by chance or set a trap deliberately.
The former is easy to say, but if it is the latter, it means that this is undoubtedly a whirlpool, and someone deliberately targeted his backer.
"Sir, if you don't care, will you come over this time?"
"I can't get through it. I know a lot of the other person's secrets. If he thinks I'm not one of his own, I'll be dead."
Niu Dada took a deep breath, drank his juice in one gulp, and suddenly said: "Guys, I want you to help me."
"Can't we?" Wu Ming spoke slowly and pointedly: "Although you and Dashun are relatives, we have just met each other after all, and we still lack some understanding of each other."
Lack of understanding means not waiting for a price, but really not wanting to take care of it.
You know, Niu Dada is an intermediary on the surface, but he is an undercover policeman secretly. None of the five people present know whether Niu Dada, who has been an undercover agent for more than ten years, is now black or white, or gray, neither black nor white.
.
If the other party has been an undercover agent for more than ten years and still wants to turn to the police system, talking about such cooperation with Niu Dada is tantamount to exposing himself to the police.
Even Wu Ming and the others have never met the backer Niu Dada mentioned. Who knows if this is true or not? What if it is fishing for law enforcement?
"Cousin, when you come to Hong Kong Island, don't tell me that you are here to be a good citizen. What do you mean? Do you want money or something else? Give me a condition. You saved me once and I won't treat you badly.
.”
Niu Dada was so angry that his eyes turned red.
He is secretly an undercover policeman, but few people who work as undercover agents can come in clean and leave cleanly.
In order to win people's trust, Niu Dada also did some dirty tricks and handed in a certificate of surrender.
Over the years, Niu Dada has been thinking that if one day he is exposed, his backer will be his life-saving straw, so that he will not lose everything. So no matter what, he cannot let himself lose the value of use, let alone part ways with his backer.
"Sir, we need to discuss this." Wu Ming and others left their seats and walked to an deserted corner.
Wang Yunxi frowned slightly and was the first to speak: "This matter is very troublesome. I am an undercover agent. Who knows if he will betray us. You better not get involved. When I get one million from selling lyrics, everyone
Come back safely."
"No, it's too passive. We only have one month to sell lyrics, but we can't count on it. We need double insurance. If anything happens, we have to have a way out." Old Jiang shook his head slightly.
expressed his opinion.
After hearing the argument between the two, Liu Chengbei also felt that he could not be too passive and said: "I also think it can be done. There is a big leader in this matter. He himself is not clean, how can he betray us. By then, everyone will
We are on the same boat. If he is unkind, don't blame us for being unjust. The worst is that we will break up."
"Liu Chengbei is right. Da Da takes the lead. The main responsibility lies with him. We can be regarded as accomplices at most. Moreover, this matter involves Da Da's backer. I want to deal with this kind of second generation who likes to play with luxury cars. A hundred
Ten thousand shouldn't be a big number. If we do this, we won't have to worry about it. It's safer than robbing a gold store."
Everyone discussed it, and except for Wang Yunxi, everyone else expressed support.
After all, getting one million Hong Kong dollars a month is the main task that must be completed.
Compared to robbing a gold store, robbing a bank, kidnapping a wealthy person, etc., killing a few gangsters will have a much smaller impact.
These days, there are constant gang feuds. The death of a few gangsters will not attract much attention. Even the police are happy to see it happen.
After making this deal, no matter whether Wang Yunxi's lyrics can be sold for one million yuan or not, first of all, everyone will be in an invincible position and can drag down Da Da.
"That's it, it's settled, one million, we'll get the film back and kill those people."
After the discussion was completed, Wu Ming and others quickly returned and sat at the dining table again.
Niu Dada looked nervous. After seeing everyone come back, he quickly asked: "How is it? Have you discussed it?"
"We have agreed that for one million, we will help you get rid of that group of people."
Wu Ming stretched out a finger and Niu Dada took a breath of air.
This is 1983, and one million is not a small amount of money, but a big number.
Even if Hong Kong Island's economy is prosperous, this money can buy five two-bedroom houses in a remote place. Ordinary people will not be able to earn so much in a lifetime.
Wu Ming looked at Da Da and asked: "Da Da, do you have any problems with this price?"
Niu Dada gritted his teeth, shook his head heavily, and said in a deep voice: "No problem, but you have to be fast, ruthless, and accurate. Once you take action, you can't make any mistakes."
"Of course, but we need information, and you have to participate in the whole process and become one of our own. I don't want to end up with everyone looking messy, but you yourself are clean. This will make it difficult for us to get along."
Wu Ming finally said that he also spared Niu Dada.
When Niu Dada heard that he was asked to take part in the action, Niu Dada had a look of reluctance on his face.
To be honest, Niu Dada doesn't want to participate in these dirty jobs.
But looking at everyone's expressions, Niu Dada understood that if he didn't get involved, these people wouldn't trust him.
"No problem, we are all family members, there is no reason for me not to participate." With a forced smile on his face, Niu Dada nodded gently, with a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.
Even though he was very reluctant, he knew that unless he wanted to die, he had no choice.
As long as his backers don't fall, Niu Dada will not fall. Even if someone in the police suspects him, the big shot in the Legislative Committee can easily protect him.
On the contrary, if he breaks with his backer, some people will kill him. Niu Dada has been undercover for more than ten years, and he himself is not clean. Otherwise, he would not be able to live in a three-bedroom house in the city, and he would not have such wealth.
People will give it for free.
"The person who took the film, nicknamed Mountain Boar, is a bastard who likes to do odd jobs. I have to check where he lives. Once we find out, we will take action and try to get this matter done in the shortest possible time." Niu Dada finished.
These words turned grief and anger into appetite, and he started eating and drinking again.
After having had enough wine and food, everyone parted ways at the door.
Among them, Niu Dada went to check the mountain pig's foothold, while Wu Ming and others returned the same way, ready for a big fight.
"I won't be involved in your affairs. Let's all act separately."
On the way back, Wang Yunxi slowly opened her mouth and expressed her views.
Wu Ming and others nodded slightly. They had not included Wang Yunxi in the action. Instead of letting this beautiful teacher follow everyone to fight together, it would be better to write the lyrics early and stabilize the double insurance.
"I'll leave the lyrics to you. It doesn't matter if you lower the price. What we need is time. We will see results within a month. You don't have to worry about us. We have fought a battle with the border guards. Everyone is very happy now.
, the chances of success are very high.”
"That's good, wish us success..." (To be continued.)
