Even twenty years from now, people in Macau will still be jumping off buildings every day, and some will even have their hands and feet chopped off.
Kowloon is also a world of money, but it is dominated by powerful figures like Master Er and Master Dong, who use their power and influence to firmly control the international refugee camp in its anarchic and lawless state.
They are law and morality themselves; though they are ruthless, they are upright and honorable.
What sets Macau apart is that there is no greater pressure than money. In the future, it will be like taming a tiger. The blood and sweat that the mainland's special police departments will have to expend to regulate it is unimaginable to ordinary people.
In universal values, the law is both a framework and a constraint.
But in Macau, gambling is the only rule, and escalating betting is also the solution to everything.
The casino may not have much else, but it has plenty of thugs to guard the place. As soon as Hu Xiaotian showed up, the thugs began to clear the place out.
The second wife even sent her men to clear out all the outsiders from the corridor where Master Er and Master Dong were staying, and moved them to other floors. The entire corridor was then occupied by gangsters.
Oh, and she also took an empty presidential suite and had Hu Xiaotian invite Master Dong and Master Er up there.
Under the guise of providing services, she transferred more than twenty thugs from the gambling hall to stand guard in the corridor.
Fourth wife was naturally unhappy, because she was in charge of the hotel, and second wife's actions were interfering with her operations.
But she wouldn't say anything on the surface, after all, she was still young and hadn't fully developed her power. Besides the second young master being incompetent, the other young ladies of the second branch, especially the second young lady, were very capable, so the fourth wife couldn't openly confront the second wife.
Of course, she didn't want today's events to end too soon or be suppressed by the second wife, as that would be more advantageous for her.
She couldn't show up in person, but she could assign staff. Besides, her husband, Boss Wen, had specifically instructed her to make sure that Boss Nie and his wife experienced the Wen family's excellent service and had a great time. She was also putting effort into the service.
Meanwhile, in the presidential suite, Hu Xiaotian, who had come to apologize, was no longer gloating. He was kneeling on the ground, pretending to be dead.
Mr. Dong sat in the center of the large sofa in the reception room, surrounded by his henchmen, giving them instructions.
In fact, he didn't curse anyone; he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
He said, “Huo Qi, we Kowloon people are also the toughest police officers in all of Hong Kong. He is upholding justice and acting on behalf of God. He came to Macau because he knows that this is my territory and you are my disciple. But what are you doing? For a week, you have sent people to guard the door and keep watch outside the window. What is your intention?”
Hu Xiaotian kowtowed: "Father, I was wrong, I won't do it again."
Master Dong nudged him with his cane: "Did you think that just because the Hong Kong triads have been disbanded, you can rule the world and run rampant?"
Hu Xiaotian shook his head vigorously: "Heaven and earth bear witness, I don't have that kind of courage."
He didn't actually have any, but with the resourceful and ruthless Second Wife of the Wen family backing him up, he dared to do it.
Master Dong was reprimanding someone, and Master Er, not wanting to get involved, stood with his hands behind his back looking out the window.
Of course, he knew all about the dirty dealings in the underworld. He smiled and said, "Not only do you dare to do that, but you've also bought a lot of land in Cambodia and Myanmar. I even heard that you've signed development agreements with the governments there."
Knowing he couldn't deny it, Hu Xiaotian explained, "There is an agreement, but it's in the High-tech Industrial Park and has nothing to do with gambling."
As if he hadn't heard, Mr. Er muttered to himself, "Macau is still fast; gambling is ahead of other industries."
Upon hearing this, Master Dong sighed and finally said, "Shut down all the parks immediately. Also, right now, go downstairs and greet Huo Qi respectfully. If you bring Huo Qi to me, I'll spare you. Otherwise, I'll chop off your legs."
It wasn't that he was willing to let Hu Xiaotian go, but rather, just like in Hong Kong, everyone who came to the island had to give the Nie family some face.
This is Macau, where the Wen family holds a large portion of the gambling licenses. Everyone has to give the Wen family face.
Everything is about to return to normal, and when the bell tolls for the return, Mr. Dong will definitely be prosecuted and put on trial.
It wasn't for himself, but for Chen Rou, and also so that the young people in the gang wouldn't have to stand trial in his place. If he wanted to live and face trial, he might resort to the bloody act of publicly chopping off someone's legs.
But he needs Hu Xiaotian to make a gesture.
Huo Qi, he wanted him, and he wanted to take him out of the hotel openly and legitimately.
High-tech should be used to benefit society, but he wanted to gamble with it, which Mr. Dong wouldn't allow and wanted him to withdraw.
Of course, everyone has their own difficulties. Hu Xiaotian only managed to become the top henchman by betraying his godfather, but he also paid a heavy price. Not only did he have a lot of dirty deeds on his own shoulders, but his family did too.
If he doesn't do anything, he can escape, but he'll be a lifelong fugitive, and his whole family will be imprisoned.
How should I put it? He looked up, his back against two blades: "Father, you know, when you're in the martial world, you're not in control of your own destiny."
Ah Si and Chen Jinbao, along with a few henchmen, and Glasses Guy was also there, kneeling with him.
Ah Si looked up, his face contorted with worry, and said, "Father, it's easy to get into the martial world but hard to get out. We can't get out now."
They were all brothers once, and his words even made One-Eyed feel a little sorry for him.
But Master Dong knocked Hu Xiaotian to the ground with his cane: "Bullshit! I can get away, but you can't?"
A multi-million dollar empire can be dissolved in an instant, and a few thousand henchmen can be divided up just as easily. Hong Kong gangsters can do it, but Macau gangsters can't.
Chen Rou, holding A Yuan in the living room, heard this and said to Nie Zhao, "Let's go."
The lobby manager sent by the fourth wife said that afternoon tea had been arranged for them, and they should go have afternoon tea.
