Kowloon Ice Room, a Mercedes Benz parked at the door.
The bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat quickly got out of the car and opened the rear door.
Gao Ning turned around and got out of the car, looked at the sign of Jiulong Ice Room, buttoned up his buttons, and strode in.
Not far away, Dongxing Crow and Smiling Tiger Wu Zhiwei were sitting at a roadside stall, drinking soda.
"Is this guy the manager of that bullshit Continental Hotel?"
"Yes, his name is Gao Ning! I checked and found out that more than half a month ago he was a little brat who was hanging out on Bolan Street. Then he disappeared inexplicably. When he appeared, he turned into the so-called manager of the Continental Hotel."
Wu Zhiwei took out a pack of gold-packed Sanwu cigarettes from his pocket, took out one in style, lit it lightly with a long-handled match, and put it in his mouth.
The crow spit out the straw with disdain and said: "It's just a scapegoat that was pushed out! It really makes me unhappy when I act so arrogantly. When I find the opportunity, I will throw it into the sea!"
Wu Zhiwei's expression was dull: "I don't object to you doing this. I just hope that you can do it more clearly and neatly without leaving any loopholes. Otherwise, the Continental Hotel may not be easy to mess with!"
"How is it? The Continental Hotel bites people?" Crow said arrogantly.
"It's not biting, it's killing!"
Wu Zhiwei shook his head, "I don't know if Gao Ning is a scapegoat, but the Continental Hotel does have some tricks up its sleeve.
You know, Uncle Ben asked someone to buy back a name with 300,000 yuan."
Crow was puzzled: "What's the problem? The old guy is just scared!"
"I also went along and tried to see if I could place a commission!"
Wu Zhiwei stared into Crow's eyes: "I said I wanted to kill the Hong Kong governor, and they directly quoted a price of 10 million US dollars!"
The crow's eyes widened.
Although he lives on the streets, he can get ahead, and he is not a clumsy person.
No matter how rampant local killers are on Hong Kong Island, their targets are limited to the general public and members of the community. Occasionally they may be associated with the police, but their positions will never reach the level of chief inspector.
Even the big brothers who supervise most of them are unwilling to touch it.
Because once it is touched, it will be really troublesome.
Despite the fact that the police are usually bound by various rules, they often go to great lengths to catch criminals, only to be acquitted in court.
But at the end of the day, the police force is a violent institution.
Killing a police officer is taboo!
Not to mention other officials and the Hong Kong Governor.
These targets that ordinary killer organizations dare not even mention, Continental Hotel has clearly marked the price for, obviously they are very confident in their own strength.
"Really? You shouldn't be scared by them, right?" Crow still didn't believe it.
Wu Zhiwei shook his head and did not explain: "I hope so!"
He recalled the girl at the front desk who had welcomed them that day, and he felt a crush on the Continental Hotel.
A pretty girl in her twenties can receive their requests and sell information for money.
No matter how he speaks or behaves, or how he treats guests, he is impeccable, as if he has been strictly trained.
It’s scary to think about it!
…
Kowloon Ice Room, second floor.
All the tables have been cleared, leaving only a large round table in the middle.
Jiang Tiansheng and Uncle Ben each sat on one side and smoked cigars, with egg tarts and milk tea in front of them, which no one touched.
Gao Ning walked up, Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said to Uncle Ben: "Here he comes!"
Uncle Ben smiled and had no intention of getting up. He just raised the hand holding the cigar slightly as a greeting.
But the smile on his face was very kind and enthusiastic.
"Manager Gao, I've heard about his name for a long time, finally meet him!"
Gao Ning stepped forward with a smile, nodded gently to the two of them, and said, "I've been really busy recently, with all kinds of things going on, otherwise I should have said I was visiting Uncle Ben!"
"Hey! It's boring to say this! We are all friends. We only visit each other if we need to visit!" Uncle Ben said with a smile.
Jiang Tiansheng smiled and watched Gao Ning sit down, and took out the cigar box from his arms and handed it over: "Actually, in addition to meeting everyone and getting to know each other, the main reason I came here this time is to ask Manager Gao for a favor!"
Gao Ning took it and put it aside without any intention of smoking it.
"Oh? What are you busy with?"
"It's not a big deal. It's just that two days ago, some of our little ones got lost and haven't come back yet. Many people are worried!"
Uncle Ben said with a smile: "I have asked many friends here to inquire around. The senior manager has great powers. I think there are channels that I don't know about, so I want to ask you for help!"
Gao Ning was noncommittal.
In my heart, I was secretly praising the old guy for being a seasoned man, capable of bending and stretching, and also speaking nicely.
Jiang Tiansheng said: "If the person can be found back, in addition to giving a sum of thanks, my uncle will also try his best to help the mainland hotels. You know, Dongxing, although its territory on Hong Kong Island is not
There are many, but there are basic bases in Indonesia, the Netherlands, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand, and there is a lot of demand every year!”
Gao Ning nodded: "There's no need to thank you. We all help each other. It's just a matter of getting lost, but it can't happen again. You are so old, you can't always let the elder brother wipe your butt. Mr. Jiang, is that right?"
Jiang Tiansheng smiled and said nothing.
Gao Ning didn't care whether he was slandering or not, he smiled at Uncle Ben and said: "Since it's Uncle Ben's business, naturally we can't delay. I'll go back and send a message right away. If nothing unexpected happens, before twelve o'clock tonight,
There must be an answer!”
Uncle Ben was a little surprised: "Twelve o'clock? That's great. Manager Gao is so generous! Why don't we go to the seafood restaurant to have something to eat later? I have a bottle of Romantic Coney, made in 1966. I opened it tonight for everyone to try.
taste!"
Jiang Tiansheng said nothing.
Gao Ning stood up directly and said with a smile: "Thank you for the kind invitation, Uncle Ben. I am obsessed with worldly things. I really have a lot of things to do today and I really can't get away from it. Let's do this next time! I will come when the Continental Hotel is on track.
Go long and invite Uncle Ben and Mr. Jiang to join us?"
Mr. Jiang nodded: "Okay! I have been curious about the Continental Hotel for a long time. If I have the opportunity to go in and take a look, I naturally can't let it pass!"
Uncle Ben chuckled and said, "Then I'll take a few bottles of wine with me!"
"Then it's settled!"
Gao Ning smiled slightly, turned and left.
As the sound of going down the stairs gradually disappeared, the two boys sitting in the corner got up at the same time and walked down together.
Jiang Tiansheng turned sideways slightly, opened the curtain a little, watched Gao Ning get into the Hutou Ben and quickly disappeared at the street corner, and then turned his head.
"gone!"
Uncle Ben shook his head and said with a smile: "This young man is quite interesting!"
"In my opinion, it's not interesting anymore!" Jiang Tiansheng said indifferently: "When he came to see me, I just thought it was a small organization that wanted to do some business in Hong Kong Island. What kind of platform?
The table, the Twelve Families, are all nonsense.
But now, I kind of believe it!
If what he said is true, I would be really surprised that he could maintain such a low profile when he saw me!"
"Well..." Uncle Ben thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say! It's probably caused by Gao Ning's own personality."
"If that's the case... that would be interesting!"
The corners of Jiang Tiansheng's mouth were slightly raised, as if he was expecting something.
There was silence between the two for a few minutes.
Uncle Ben suddenly stood up slowly: "I'm old and can't sit for too long. My wife organized a tea party in the afternoon. It is said that Mrs. Morris from SB was invited. I have to go back and help with it, otherwise something will go wrong and it will happen again."
It’s absolutely necessary to scold him!”
Jiang Tiansheng stood up and reached out to help him.
Uncle Ben raised his hand to avoid it: "No need, I'm not that old yet!"
He walked slowly to the stairs, and when he went downstairs, he turned his head slightly and looked at Jiang Tiansheng, and said in a calm tone: "By the way, I will give you three days, Liangkun, which should be enough in the future."
!”
Jiang Tiansheng smoked a cigar and said nothing, staring at Uncle Ben with a strange and dull look.
Uncle Ben smiled softly and disappeared with his men.
At this time, the bodyguard walked up to Jiang Tiansheng and whispered: "Mr. Jiang, would you like to..."
Jiang Tiansheng waved his hand: "Don't move. If you move, you will do something wrong. Just wait and see how it will get better. This old guy is not simple!"
…
Time is like running water, and one week flies by.
During this period, the Continental Hotel was completely on track. Although there was no business and no guests, it did not affect Arun's daily commute to get off work.
Out of the guilt of spending less time together and more separation in his previous life, Gao Ning now spends time with Arun whenever he has time.
This week, the two of them visited almost all the 18 districts of Hong Kong Island.
From the busiest streets and busiest shopping malls to the most remote docks and the most uninhabited islands.
The two of them walked hand in hand, so their relationship quickly heated up.
Gao Ning even felt that Arun in this life was even more obsessed with him.
So one of them couldn't control it anymore, and they became husband and wife again.
It was this step that officially confirmed the relationship between the two.
During this period, Gao Ning received a lot of news one after another.
More than half of them come from Hongxing.
First, Hong Xing was troubled by a group of local gangsters in a gambling hall in Haojiang, and his commission was reduced from 10% to 30%.
After a brainstorm within Hongxing, they unanimously decided to send Liang Kun, a red stick with both civil and military skills, to take charge and bring enough manpower to solve the problem.
So that night, the ferry crossing the river capsized. Of the hundreds of horses on board, only a small half survived.
Liangkun, the leader, also unfortunately disappeared.
When the news came back, the leader Jiang Tiansheng was very angry, lost his temper, and sent the prince to lead people again.
Unexpectedly, before setting off, news came again from Haojiang, saying that it was a misunderstanding.
This provoked Jiang Tiansheng to curse again.
After another meeting was held, and Sheng Fan and Chen Haonan were recommended internally to go hunting and compete for the position of the leader of the Mong Kok Hall, everything calmed down.
It seemed that Liangkun's death was just a trivial matter.
On the other side, Dongxing is not idle either.
After meeting in the Kowloon Ice Room, at twelve o'clock that night, Dongxing found ten young men tied into rice dumplings and hanging from the beam like cicada chrysalis in an abandoned wooden house on the pier.
At the same time the next day, at another dock, we found twenty guys who were doing the same thing.
On the third day, thirty people were found in an abandoned warehouse.
It wasn't until the seventh day that more than a hundred people were released at once, and Dongxing's lost Sheepboy and his gang officially returned safely.
Uncle Ben was very concerned about this matter and told his men to repeatedly ask Sheep Zai and the others what happened to them and where they were taken.
However, everyone was confused about everything, as if they had lost their memory.
This result made Uncle Ben's fear of Continental Hotel and Gao Ning even deeper.
