Upon hearing this, Qi Qingshan glanced at Reinhardt standing beside him. He felt that since there were outsiders present, some things were not appropriate to continue asking. However, since the other party was a member of the Hongmen, he was no longer nervous.
After all, in his opinion, all Hongmen in the world are one family. Although they themselves are not members of the Hongmen, Fang Lang's uncle Fang Xinshui is the leader of the Hongmen Brazil Hongyi Hall. In this way, everyone is one family and there is no need to be too nervous.
At this moment, Reinhardt was obviously frightened by the bloody scene not far away. He stared at the melee not far away in amazement and had no intention of continuing to drink and eat.
According to his inner thoughts, they should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, but Fang Lang still sat there, eating and watching with great interest, without any sign of nervousness at all.
He was unconcerned about the blood-spattering scene not far away, and continued to slowly savor the food in front of him. This calm attitude made Reinhardt admire him very much.
The melee involving hundreds of people made the entire Stanley Street deafening with the sound of killing.
The citizens who were watching the excitement around were also frightened when they saw a group of gangsters rushing out from beside them. They dared not stay there to watch the excitement and scattered in all directions to avoid being affected.
Fang Lang's guards, who were originally scattered among the diners, stood in place after the diners around them fled, which made them very conspicuous. Seeing this, there was no need for everyone to continue to scatter around, and they all gathered around Fang Lang.
The lame middle-aged couple who were packing up their stall were also startled at first when they saw so many people surrounding them. Only after they saw their appearance clearly did they feel relieved. After all, there couldn't be so many foreigners in Young and Dangerous.
...
...
The lame middle-aged man seemed to understand something. Seeing his woman still cleaning up the stall with a panicked look on her face, he had an idea and stepped forward to pat his woman on the shoulder and said:
"Honey, take your time. We don't need to rush to clean up. These gangsters shouldn't dare to come here to cause trouble."
The middle-aged woman was startled when she heard this, she looked up at her husband and said unhappily:
"Are you stupid? When gangsters are fighting for territory, who cares who you are? You said you don't want to cause trouble, so you don't? You don't really think that we can be kept safe if we pay protection money!
Don’t you see that they can’t even guarantee their own safety now?”
His wife was a straightforward and hot-tempered person, and the lame middle-aged man obviously knew this very well. He didn't get angry when he heard the other party's scolding. Instead, he stepped forward, hugged his woman's shoulders and whispered:
"Didn't you see that a big shot came to our stall today?"
After saying that, he gestured to her to look at the table where Fang Lang and the other two were sitting, and at the foreign burly men around them who were eyeing them covetously.
The woman looked up and saw Fang Lang still eating leisurely at the table. Although the other two were a little nervous, they did not show any fear or nervousness. This made her exclaim softly.
At this time, the lame middle-aged man moved closer to his woman and whispered in her ear in a low voice:
"When the young man paid the bill just now, I saw a gun hidden under his ribs."
Hearing this, the woman's eyes flashed with worry, and she also lowered her voice and said:
"He can't be a bad guy!"
The lame man smiled.
"Bad guys don't give us ten dollars for meals."
"What? Ten dollars."
The woman was obviously shocked by her man's words and blurted out. Fortunately, the lame middle-aged man reacted quickly and was worried that she would do something bad, so he covered his mouth.
"Shh! ...Keep your voice down, aren't you afraid that someone will snatch it from us?
Besides, look at these foreigners gathered here, they are obviously bodyguards. They are definitely big shots, do you understand?
With them here, these gangsters don't dare to attack us at all."
The woman finally understood where her man's confidence came from. She couldn't help but turn her head again and secretly glanced at Fang Lang's table where he was eating. She actually slowly put her mind at ease.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and said with regret:
"If we had known we had such a distinguished guest here, we shouldn't have let the customers run away just now. They haven't finished their meal yet, and haven't paid the bill yet!"
The lame middle-aged man was a little amused when he heard this. This woman just didn't know the seriousness of the matter. Even if this distinguished guest was an important person, there was no reason for others to protect your business!
Just because you know there are distinguished customers in your store, you can't really take the fight between the gangsters lightly!
"We are lucky enough to have our stall's property intact, but you still want all the customers to be as calm as this big shot!"
The woman touched her head embarrassedly when she heard that.
The abnormality here naturally attracted the attention of not only the stall owner and his wife, but also another table not far away, where diners, like Fang Lang and his friends, were still sitting at the table and were not affected by the fight between the Young and Dangerous gangs.
"Boss, there seem to be a lot of foreigners over there. I hope they won't affect our actions!"
A short, fat, middle-aged man with a fleshy face looked at the slightly tall and thin middle-aged man who was sitting in the main seat and watching the melee in the distance with flickering eyes.
The tall, thin, middle-aged man had a centipede-like scar on his upper lip, as if his lip had been split open with a sharp knife and then sewn together.
Upon hearing this, the man looked in the direction indicated by the short and fat man. After just one glance, his gaze froze and his brows unconsciously frowned.
As a veteran, he could smell the scent of soldiers on the people opposite him from a long distance away. Moreover, unlike the scattered soldiers like him, the spirit of these people showed that they were definitely elite soldiers in active service.
This forced him to be cautious. Today's seizure of Hehetu's territory had been planned for a long time by the 14K, and they must not allow any accidents to happen because of the appearance of these people.
However, what made him feel a little strange was that the skin colors of these soldiers seemed to be a bit mixed, and for a moment he was not sure of their identities.
But for the sake of caution, he still said to the short and fat man:
"It seems that the other party has no intention of interfering with us. Send someone to remind our people not to get close to them.
Lest we provoke an opponent we cannot afford to offend."
Without waiting for the short and fat man to speak, a young man sitting on the other side, who was obviously much younger, in his twenties, with long hair and a sharp face, looked quite handsome, could not help but speak directly:
"Brother Bing, aren't they just a bunch of foreigners? What's so great about them? If they dare to ruin our business, I will bring people over and kill them right now."
The tall, thin middle-aged man called Brother Bing's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but thinking of the other party's identity, he had to choose to endure it and patiently explained:
"Haozi, take a close look at those foreigners standing around, can you spot anything?"
The long-haired young man called Haozi was stunned at first after hearing what Brother Bing said, but he immediately realized that this was his boss teaching him, and he immediately began to observe the group of foreigners opposite carefully.
He might not have thought anything was wrong before observing for a while, but after observing for a while, he unexpectedly discovered that among the three people surrounded by this group of foreigners, two were obviously Chinese.
After a little thought, he came up with a guess and turned to his boss, Brother Bing, and said:
"Brother Bing, these foreigners are probably bodyguards. Look at the table of people in the middle that they are protecting. Two of them are Chinese. These guys might be the sons of the rich man in Hong Kong.
Do you want me to go over there and arrest these guys and ask their parents to redeem them?"
When the tall and thin middle-aged man Bingge heard this, disappointment flashed across his eyes, and he sighed softly and said:
"So, you are sure you can tie up these two young men under the protection of these bodyguards?"
When the long-haired young man heard what Brother Bing said, he thought that Brother Bing agreed with his idea! He immediately showed a slightly arrogant smile on his face and said:
"Haha... Brother Bing, what's the big deal? They only have so many people, and we have so many people. I don't believe that if I lead my men to surround them and put knives on their necks, they will still dare to resist."
The short and fat middle-aged man standing nearby looked at the young man's arrogance without saying a word. He knew that the young man had a strong background. Although he followed their Brother Bing in name, he was actually a person sent in by the higher-ups. Even the real boss of the 14K had to give some face to the higher-ups.
It is impossible for Brother Bing to really treat the other party as his younger brother. This is why this guy is so arrogant and can still live to this day.
But today, this guy obviously misjudged. In his opinion, these foreigners on the opposite side are definitely not easy to deal with, and now they are not in their hometown, but in Hong Kong City.
The current government of Hong Kong City is British. It doesn't matter if they have conflicts with the Chinese in Hong Kong City. The British don't care about the life and death of the Chinese at all. But if something happens to foreigners in Hong Kong City, the Hong Kong City police will do everything they can to find them.
By then, let alone growing and developing in Hong Kong City, it would be difficult for the 14K to survive in Hong Kong City.
So, after hearing Haozi's crazy idea, he immediately wanted to speak out to stop him, but after seeing his boss's eyes, he knew that the boss would not listen to this guy at all. This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
When he looked at Haozi, a hint of contempt unconsciously began to appear in his eyes. Such a fool wanted to gain a foothold in the 14K. He didn't know what the higher-ups were thinking.
As the eldest brother, Brother Bing, after listening to Haozi's words, couldn't help but refresh his opinion of this young man. He originally thought that this guy was arrogant and ignorant of the world, but now he realized that this guy was stupid and had no value in training at all.
Therefore, he didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him, so he just shook his head and said to the short and fat middle-aged man:
"Fatty Ming, go and remind our people now not to get close to these people. When this is over, I will personally go over and apologize to them. Don't cause them to be unhappy."
The short and fat middle-aged man heard this, without even looking at Haozi, and stood up and said to Brother Bing:
"Yes, sir."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the battlefield where the fierce fighting was taking place without looking back.
Seeing this, Haozi's expression froze, a trace of anger flashed across his face, and he said to Brother Bing in dissatisfaction:
"Brother Bing, aren't they just a bunch of ghosts? Why are you afraid of them?"
After hearing what Haozi said, Brother Bing became even more dissatisfied with this guy. Others who followed him all respectfully called him "big brother", but this guy, despite being so young, always only called him Brother Bing. It was obvious that in the other person's heart, he did not regard himself as his boss.
If my boss hadn't asked me to guide him, I would have knocked out his teeth and made him swallow them all, and I would never have taught him seriously.
But after spending such a long time together, he finally understood that this guy was a hopeless case. If he didn't have connections above, he would have been hacked to death on the street long ago.
It was obvious at first glance that this group of foreigners today were not people they could afford to mess with. This guy couldn't even recognize himself, yet he still wanted to survive in Hong Kong. If things went wrong, he might even drag down the 14K and get wiped out.
It seems that I need to find some time to have a good talk with my boss. It would be best if I can drive this bastard back. If I can't, I will find a chance to kill him in a gunfight!
Of course, he couldn't make the decision on his own since he hadn't communicated with the boss yet. But he didn't want to explain too much to him either.
So, after hearing what the other party said, he didn't say much, but just patted the other party on the shoulder and said:
"Haozi, you are still young and there are many things you don't understand. I will teach you next time I have the chance."
After saying that, he turned his attention back to the battlefield where the bloodbath was raging.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, apart from the boss who was still trying to pack up his stall, there were only these two tables of guests left. So, while these two tables were probably discussing the origins of Fang Lang and others.
Qi Qingshan was also reporting his findings to Fang Lang. In fact, Fang Lang had already noticed the abnormality of the guests at this table, but he did not feel any hostility from these people, so he did not pay attention to them.
But just now, he suddenly felt a hint of malice from the young man among the three opponents, which made him a little strange.
"Boss, could these people be members of the 14K?"
Qi Qingshan glanced at the three people in the distance and asked Fang Lang directly.
Fang Lang heard this and spoke directly without even raising his head:
"Need I say this? It's something you can see at a glance."
"Should we go over and say hello?"
"What hello are you saying? Are you familiar with them?"
"No! Didn't you say that the 14K are members of the Hongmen? I was thinking that Uncle Xinshui is also a member of the Hongmen. Should we go over and say hello to them when we get to Hong Kong?"
"I've already said that these people are at most gangsters, not real Hongmen members. Why would we want to deal with them?"
At this time, Qi Qingshan realized that the boss looked down on these gangsters. However, he also felt a little strange. The Hong Yitang in Brazil was said to be a branch of the Hongmen, but in fact it could also be regarded as gangsters. There was no essential difference between the two!
What he didn't know was that the reason why Fang Lang didn't like the 14K was not because they were not authentic members of the Hongmen, but because these guys considered themselves to be authentic members of the Hongmen and accepted the command of the Kuomintang, but they were oppressing the Chinese in Hong Kong. The targets of their oppression were all Chinese. It could be said that they had done all kinds of bad things and none of them were good people.
