7:50 pm,
Dragon Phoenix Tea House.
"Boss, the guests on the second floor haven't arrived yet, and I don't know why Inspector Du wants to cover the whole table!" The waiter wiped the table with a white towel on his shoulder and said to the teahouse owner.
The teahouse owner was dialing the abacus behind the counter and lowered his voice when he heard this: "You don't understand - these are the rules of the world. He is new here. He invites Nathan to have tea with all the big guys. Eating shrimp dumplings is a fake." , the purpose is to establish prestige.”
Swallowing his saliva, the teahouse owner cautiously glanced at the stairs: "Now that the big guys are not showing up, they are clearly trying to show off to Inspector Du. It seems that Inspector Du is going to be embarrassed tonight!"
The clerk shook his head: "Aren't Inspector Hua very powerful? Aren't those big guys afraid?"
The boss sneered and said: "Inspector Hua is very powerful, but it depends on which Inspector Hua he is - Lei Luo, Yan Xiong, Lan Gang, Han Sen are the big ones. The rest of the Inspectors Hua can control these rivers and lakes. How many fierce men can there be? Besides, this guy surnamed Du just took office today and only has two soldiers around him. How can three people compete with the big guys like Nathan Road?"
The clerk wiped the table vigorously and put the towel on his shoulders. "I understand. In other words, this Inspector Du is just a decoration. He might get out tomorrow!"
"Keep it down! Even if he wants to get out, you don't have to say it so loudly! We are in business, and peace is the most important thing. Don't cause trouble!" The boss glanced at the second floor worriedly, and then relaxed when he saw no movement. tone.
The clerk didn't take it seriously, curled his lips, and said to himself: "Even those big guys can't handle it. This Inspector Du, huh, is nothing!"
…
Lobby on the second floor.
Steaming shrimp dumplings are placed on three large round tables.
Du Yongxiao was sitting at the dining table, smoking a cigarette, filled with smoke, and his face was gloomy.
Da Tou Wen and Buck Tooth Ju stood behind him, looking at the empty hall with different tastes.
For Datou Wen, starting from the time he met Du Yongxiao, his future and destiny have been connected with Du Yongxiao.
For Buck Tooth Ju, Du Yongxiao is now collectively ignored by the Nathan society bosses, and he wishes that Du Yongxiao could be embarrassed and lose his fortune.
The waiter had nothing to do and yawned.
Buzz!
Flies are flying, breaking the silence.
"Brother Xiao, it's almost eight o'clock. I don't think those big guys are coming." Datou Wen came forward and said.
"Why don't we go back!" The buck-toothed horse bared his teeth and gloated, "This kind of thing cannot be rushed. If you want to establish your authority, you have to do it slowly!"
Du Yongxiao threw away his cigarette and picked up his chopsticks: "Are you hungry? Let's eat the shrimp dumplings first!"
Datouwen shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
The buck-toothed horse pouted: "My stomach is so full, I can't eat anymore."
Du Yongxiao picked up a shrimp dumpling, dipped it in vinegar water, and took a bite: "On point!"
Before finishing even one shrimp dumpling---
Tuk-tuk-tuk,
Someone comes upstairs.
The voice was arrogant: "Who is Du Yongxiao? Our Lord Jin has something to tell him!"
While they were talking, a man with a scar came up, looking domineering.
Da Tou Wen and Buck Tooth Ju looked at each other.
Scarface ignored the two of them and looked directly at Du Yongxiao: "Needless to say, it's you!"
Du Yongxiao immersed himself in eating shrimp dumplings, dipped in vinegar water from time to time, and ate with relish.
Scarface walked up to Du Yongxiao with arrogant steps and an arrogant attitude.
"Hey, are you Du Yongxiao?"
Du Yongxiao stopped his chopsticks, raised his head, and glanced at the other person.
Scarface and Du Yongxiao made eye contact, and felt a chill in their hearts for no reason.
"My name is Dao Scarqiang, and I belong to Lord Jin!"
"I'm not in the mood to know what your name is--what do you want to do with me?" Du Yongxiao put down his chopsticks, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.
Scar Qiang was furious that Du Yongxiao dared to ignore him like this, "Master Jin asked me to send a message that he is not in the mood to eat shrimp dumplings tonight. If you have the guts, you can go to Jinyu Tower one kilometer away to eat abalone, and he invites you!"
"Have you finished speaking?"
Scar suppressed his anger and said, "Finish!"
"After I finish speaking, I will go back and tell you Mr. Jin that eating abalone is my favorite!" Du Yongxiao picked up the chopsticks again, "But first I have to finish eating the shrimp dumplings!"
Dao Baoqiang nodded, clasped his fist towards Du Yongxiao and said: "You know the rules of the rivers and lakes, bravely champion the three armies! If you can go and eat abalone safely tonight, from now on, this Nathan will be you, Du Yongxiao, and Inspector Du will lead the world!"
This sentence is plain and simple, but it contains murderous intent.
Of course Du Yongxiao understood what this meant.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and wherever there are rivers and lakes, there are rules. Among them, the "Qinggang" and "Hongmen" have the most rules.
In Hong Kong, the Green Gang and the Hongmen have always been incompatible, so many rules have been derived.
In terms of literature, there are "Tea Arrangement", "Poem Fighting Formation", "Hongmen Dui", and "Qingmen Dui". Because most of the gang members are illiterate or have little knowledge, these literary battles are basically organized by major societies. Only gang leaders, military advisors, and white paper fans understand the "hidden rules".
Fighting is divided into three types: "single challenge", "group fight" and "breakthrough".
Among them, the duels include "Overlord Lifting the Cauldron", "Yuanba Dance Hammer", and "Yanqing Fighting" etc. Those that belong to the group fight type include "Four Heavenly Kings", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", and "Lion King's Hegemony" and so on. The last ones that belong to the level-breaking category are "Mountains of Swords and Seas of Fire", "Pingstepping into Thunder Ponds", and "Bravely Championing the Three Armies".
"Bravely Champion the Three Armies" means that the opponent sets up obstacles along the way to fight and intercept you. You must break through the level within a limited time, usually three sticks of incense. When the time is up and you have not reached your destination, you have failed. In addition, the journey through the barrier is dangerous, and life and death are determined by fate!
Jin Yagui's plan for Du Yongxiao tonight is to "champion the three armies bravely"!
He relied on Du Yongxiao to take up the position of Nathan Road. Without the backing of the backstage, how could just three people "champion the three armies"? Even if Du Yongxiao really has the courage to break through, he will still have to shed his skin if he doesn't die!
For Du Yongxiao, he had to accept the game set by Jin Yagui. First, it was a matter of face. Second, it was a matter of establishing prestige. Third, it was a matter of time.
In a word----
Time is running out, he is just a new detective, if he wants to dominate Nathan, he can risk his life!
Seeing that Du Yongxiao didn't respond, Dao Scarqiang thought that Du Yongxiao was afraid, and said with a smile: "If you are afraid, just tell me, and I can go back and report back to our Lord Jin. If you are not afraid--"
Scar Qiang put his hands on his hips and said in an arrogant tone: "The old man said, I will give you enough time to burn incense, and life or death will be decided by fate! As long as you can reach your destination on time, you can taste Nathan's abalone for you from now on! If you break the rules , relying on trolls to survive, even if you win, you will still be laughed at!"
Du Yongxiao picked up a shrimp dumpling, raised his head and glanced at Dao Scarqiang: "Go back and tell you Mr. Jin——" He opened his mouth and swallowed the shrimp dumpling in one gulp, "I will definitely eat his abalone!"
