Chapter 455 The pearl hides itself, and disaster strikes
The hotel manager welcomed him out with a smile.
"Isn't this Brother Xu San? What kind of wind brings you here?"
This bad boy's name is Xu San. During a fight in his early years, he was hit on the forehead with a blunt instrument, leaving a scar. Because it resembles an upright eye, he calls himself Brother Three Eyes.
Xu San is one of the boys who follows Mr. He.
He is also a member of 18K.
In the past, when he collected protection fees, he often dealt with hotel managers.
Xu San had a cigarette in his mouth and said angrily.
"Something happened to Mr. He's family, and he was in trouble. He suspected that a group of outsiders were responsible, so he asked us brothers to come out to search... Let me ask you, are there any non-local tenants here today?" The hotel manager said awkwardly.
"You also know that the rent in my place is cheap and the tenants are mixed. I don't know if there are any foreigners among them?"
"This is a simple matter. You go and call out everyone. Remember, take the roster and call people out door to door. We will do the rest."
When the hotel manager heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no, no, it's already one o'clock in the morning. I want to wake everyone up at this time..."
Xu San kicked the table next to him flying and said angrily: "What, do you want to go against our 18K and don't want to live anymore?"
The hotel manager was immediately frightened to death.
Who doesn’t know 18K’s name?
It can be said that 18K is the most famous triad organization in Hong Kong.
The predecessor of the Triad Society is the famous Tiandi Society!
In this era, 18K is basically equivalent to the underworld.
At its peak, its membership numbered more than 100,000, and it stood tall in Hong Kong along with triad organizations such as Ngee Ann and Sheng Wo.
Triad organizations have good intentions.
However, as the organization continues to expand, it is inevitable that the gang members are mixed, and coupled with the inaction of senior managers, the 18K gang's behavior gradually deviates, often involving side branches and black industries.
Even individual members may commit crimes such as theft, fraud, kidnapping, intimidation and extortion.
The hotel manager is an ordinary local citizen.
Don’t dare to bear the title of “against 18K”.
He said helplessly.
"I definitely don't mean this, Brother Sanyan, I will arrange for someone to call the tenant out."
"Wait."
Xu San called the hotel manager.
I assigned a few of my own team members and asked them to take the hotel roster and go with the hotel manager to call for people.
Soon.
There was a loud noise inside the hotel.
It was already late at night, and most of the tenants had gone to bed long ago. Anyone who was woken up by someone rudely shouting from their dreams would be very angry.
Some grumpy tenants planned to resist at that time.
But what awaits them.
It was a merciless and violent beating by the 18K horse boys.
These people were knocked to the ground. The horse boys didn't hold back at all. They picked up the table and smashed it down. The resisters were beaten until their blood flowed out and their breathing was weak before they stopped.
When the others saw this scene, their complaints immediately disappeared and they stood obediently on the side of the road waiting for the inspection by Xu San and others.
The civet Xiaoxue watched for a while on the roof.
The claws stretch out in vain.
However, it thought of its mission, so it barked a few times unwillingly, jumped a few times, and disappeared into the darkness.
........
"Brother Three Eyes, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?"
One of the boys felt Xu San's abnormality, handed him a cigarette, and asked.
Xu San said vaguely.
"It's okay. I felt like someone was staring at me from behind, and even gesturing back and forth on the back of my neck. But when I looked just now, there was no one behind me."
"Brother Sanyan, don't scare me. I heard my wife say that when she was a child, there were a lot of graveyards nearby. Many people who had fled from the mainland died on the way and were buried there.
Here...I heard that a lot of things happened here."
Ma Zai couldn't help but shiver, and instantly remembered the ghost stories told by his boss.
Xu San was just a little nervous at first, but when Ma Zai said this, his heart went cold.
He gave instructions to the horsemen.
"Hurry up and check it out. We won't work with this company after we check it out."
"Damn, so does Mr. He. Let's go out to look for someone late at night. How long will it take to find someone?"
"Well, I'll take you to have a drink later. When I get back, don't tell anyone to Mr. He. Just say that we checked and found nothing. Did you hear that?"
The horse boys were relieved and cheered immediately.
"Long live the three-eyed brother!"
.......
Cao Weidong thought to himself while sharing the view of the civet Xiaoxue.
"Master He is indeed a veteran. It is indeed a clever move to check the local hotel in Yuen Long late at night."
"Fortunately, I have warned them in advance to escape Yuen Long overnight and not to stay in the local area. If they listen to me, they should be safe... Anyway, I hope they are safe."
This incident is just an interlude.
Cao Weidong put this matter aside for the time being.
Meow!
There was a faint sound of cat meowing in my ears.
Cao Weidong was shocked and looked at the past.
I saw that Lingmao Primary School had already arrived in front of a three-story single-family villa.
This villa is magnificently decorated, and there are strong security guards patrolling the door, which shows that the owner of the house is either rich or noble.
Arrived!
Cao Weidong was overjoyed.
This is Tian Guangjin’s house.
Driven by Cao Weidong, the civet Xiaoxue found a half-open window and got directly into the villa.
I don’t know how long it took, but the civet Xiaoxue burped with satisfaction and got out of the half-open window.
Cao Weidong took the opportunity to look away.
Smile slightly.
It’s done!
......
The next day.
After Cao Weidong washed up, he called Shi Man and went to the dining area provided by the hotel to have breakfast.
Breakfast is just ordinary porridge and eggs, as well as local specialty wontons, which Cao Weidong likes quite a bit.
After eating and drinking, Shi Man wanted to ask Cao Weidong several times about his upcoming itinerary, but Cao Weidong just waved his hand and took him to the seating area in the lobby to sit down.
The lobby manager came over to say hello.
Cao Weidong took out a pearl the size of a one-yuan coin from his pocket.
"Manager, you came just in time to help us do something. The reward is this pearl."
The lobby manager’s eyes are shining.
He lives on the sea all year round and can recognize it at a glance. This is a pearl that is truly produced in the deep sea. It is perfect in appearance and priceless.
This person can easily produce such a high-end pearl. How rich is his net worth?
The lobby manager can’t even imagine it!
Fortunately, I arranged everything to the highest standards without making the guests angry, and even triggered a hidden plot.
The lobby manager is very proud of himself.
In front of Cao Weidong, he suppressed the joy in his heart and asked flatteringly.
"Guest, what do you want me to do?"
"You arrange for someone to meet the local rich man Tian Guangjin. You must meet him in person and say eight words to him."
The lobby manager asked curiously.
"Oh, which eight characters are they?"
Cao Weidong said word by word.
"If a pearl hides itself, disaster will come!"
The lobby manager's expression changed immediately.
