(Lin Dong's trip to Hong Kong was primarily to hunt down Gao Qijiang. These chapters about the Hong Kong underworld are just interludes; the real development of the Hong Kong storyline will take place in the second volume, "Hong Kong Storm.")

The Spring Festival was a joyful and busy time, but it also flew by.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Dong received a call from Zhao Haosheng.

After days of investigation, the Xingyi Joint Dispatch team has finally yielded results:

Gao Qijiang is very likely hiding in a fishing village in Sai Kung, Hong Kong Island.

However, this fishing village is the most important seafood distribution center in Hong Kong, and it is controlled by Liang Kun of the Tung Shing Gang.

The people from Xingyi Lian couldn't openly conduct in-depth investigations in the village.

As long as he had definite information about Gao Qijiang, Lin Dong didn't care whose territory it was.

That evening, Lin Dong, along with Feng Zi and Eagle Eye, embarked on their journey to Hong Kong.

To avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, Lin Dong and his two companions chose to smuggle themselves to Hong Kong by sea.

Of course, it's still necessary to carry essential self-defense weapons.

On the dark water, a diesel-powered boat, after three hours of bumpy travel, approached a remote dock in Xigong at 8 p.m.

At the bow of the diesel-powered boat, the boatman raised a powerful flashlight and flashed it six times towards the dock 200 meters away.

Soon, a flashlight beam appeared in the direction of the dock, one long and three short beams, signifying safety.

The motorboat restarted and sped towards the dock...

A few minutes later, Lin Dong and his two companions landed.

A young man dressed in black walked towards us:

"Are you Mr. Lin Donglin?"

"I am."

"Mr. Lin, our boss is waiting for you upstairs. Please come with me."

After saying this, the man in black turned around and walked up the stone steps towards the top of the dock.

Four black Mercedes-Benz cars were already parked on the seawall road above the pier.

A middle-aged man in a black trench coat was sitting in the lead car, leisurely smoking a cigar.

He saw Lin Dong and the other two come up, then got out of the car and went to greet them with a chuckle:

"You must be Brother Lin Donglin? You are indeed a young, promising, and handsome man, haha... I am Zhao Haosheng."

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Lin Dong bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

The two reached out and shook hands, both feeling the other's strong grip.

"Brother Lin, please get in the car and settle your luggage. I'll take you to see the most famous seafood night market in Xigong, haha..."

Zhao Haosheng pulled Lin Dong and got into the back seat of the first car.

Four black sedans quickly disappeared into the night.

The pitch-black night sky, carrying a distinctive salty sea breeze, drifted far and wide along the coast.

......

Half an hour later, Zhao Haosheng led Lin Dong and the other two to a bustling seafood night market in Xigong.

Behind the four men were more than ten thugs from the Xingyi Alliance, dressed in black suits.

Among the eight clerks of Xingyi Lian, Zhao Haosheng was neither the one with the most subordinates nor the one with the strongest power.

But he's the richest.

In recent years, he has made a fortune through smuggling and money laundering.

Some have speculated that he was even wealthier than Chiang Chung-fa, the leader of the Hsing Yi Union.

So whenever he goes out, he is always followed by a large group of thugs and bodyguards.

In terms of presence, he would never lose to anyone else.

Zhao Haosheng, the leader of Xingyi Liandonghuan

"Brother Lin, I've booked a room at Sihaizhijia. Tonight, I'll take you to see a different way of eating seafood."

Zhao Haosheng pointed to a seafood boat on the shore of the night market and laughed loudly:

"Once you're on the ship, you'll see what true surprises and the ultimate enjoyment in life are, haha..."

【Sihaizhijia Seafood Boat】is a five-story antique-style painted boat.

The painted boat is adorned with red and green carvings and dazzling lights, all of which highlight its extraordinary and noble character.

The Four Seas House, which is only open at night, has regular booths on floors 1-3 and 20 VIP rooms on floor 4.

But very few people have ever been to the top floor, the 5th floor.

Rumors circulate that those who can afford to shop on the 5th floor are either extremely wealthy or high-ranking officials with prestige and status.

Zhao Haosheng and his group went up to the 5th floor through a special passage on one side of the painted boat.

The floor manager, who had been waiting for them, led them into a very spacious VIP room.

The VIP room is very large, nearly 200 square meters.

Near the window, there was a set of large, antique-style mahogany sofas.

Through the window, you can see the estuary in the distance.

A cool sea breeze gently blew in through the window.

Strangely, in the center of the room, instead of a traditional round dining table, there was a pink rectangular table.

“Da Tian, ​​Brother Lin and I are in this room. You take the other two guests to the next room for dinner.”

"The others are all guarding the stairs and the doorway."

Zhao Haosheng gave the order, and the tall man among the black-clad henchmen, known as Da Tian, ​​responded and quickly went to make the arrangements.

Soon, only Zhao Haosheng and Lin Dong remained in the large room.

"Brother Lin, the main course is ready and can be served. I guarantee you've never tasted this dish before in your life, haha..."

The two sat on a mahogany sofa by the window, sipping tea and smoking, waiting for the dishes they had ordered.

Ten more minutes passed, but the unexpected surprise Zhao Haosheng had mentioned did not materialize.

Zhao Haosheng was getting impatient. He got up, pushed open the door, and asked Da Tian, ​​who was guarding the door, to urge him on.
