Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 1003 0988 [One Step to Heaven, One Step to Death]

Dock, abandoned warehouse-——
When Lan Ming Kun arrived at the warehouse with a rebellious gait, several of Hong Yi Hai's younger brothers were pinning a bald man who was dressed somewhat decently to the ground and beating him severely inside the warehouse.

Crackling!

Two carrying poles and a crowbar hit the bald man's body on the ground, making a series of heart-pounding muffled sounds.

Next to them, seven or eight of Hong Yihai's disciples pointed at the bald guy and discussed in unison -
"You can take it pretty well!"

"Yeah, it's almost half an hour!"

"I'm stubborn. Let's wait until Brother Kun comes."

As they were talking, some people saw Lanmingkun, and they hurried forward to greet him.

"Brother Kun!"

Random-kun nodded at them, "Close the door!"

"Yes, Brother Kun!"

crunch!
The warehouse door is closed tightly.

A confined space was quickly formed.

Lan Ming Kun looked at the bald guy who was beaten.

The bald man lying on the ground was about thirty years old. Although he was beaten repeatedly, he gritted his teeth and held on without making any screams. The occasional muffled groans seemed to be evidence that he was still alive.

It was not until the younger brothers were exhausted from fighting that Lan Ming Ju waved his hand and signaled them to get out of the way.

Lanmingkun came in front of the bald guy, and a younger brother brought a chair over. Lanmingkun sat down and looked down at the bald guy.

Various fruits were piled behind him, and his nostrils were filled with the smell of fruits: pineapples, bananas, cantaloupes, grapes, and apples. This was a fruit warehouse.

Lanmingkun picked up an apple, took the ox-horn knife handed to him by the person next to him, and peeled it.

Lanmingkun said nothing, just sat on the chair and peeled an apple in front of the bald guy.

But this kind of pressure is more uncomfortable than beating the bald guy.

The bald guy couldn't help but yelled at Lan Mingkun: "Why are you arresting me? I'm going to call the police and sue you!"

"Whatever!" Lan Ming Kun said calmly, "You should know who we are. You also know whether it is useful to sue us."

As Lan Ming Kun spoke, he slowly leaned over, lifted the other's chin with a bull-horn knife, and raised the face with slightly high cheekbones. The bald man stared at him viciously with his eyes.

Lan Ming Kun said slowly: "You are very courageous. My brother greeted you, but you don't feel satisfied. I will greet you personally."

"What are you going to do?" The bald guy looked obviously frightened.

He was more or less aware of Hong Yihai's reputation as a bad guy.

Lan Ming Kun looked at the other party and suddenly smiled: "Don't be afraid, although the rumors in the martial arts world say that I am cruel and ruthless, but that was in the past. Now I am very gentle, so why don't we talk about a business deal."

"Talk about business?" The bald man moved, his expression showing a hint of surprise.

"Look, my knife is very sharp, so you'd better not move it, otherwise I will make a hole in your throat and I will have to give you money." Lanming Kun greeted with a smile.

The bald man pursed his lips and said nothing, but his body became very obedient and he did not dare to struggle.

Lan Ming Kun smiled slightly and stared into the other person's eyes: "That's right!"

As he spoke, Lan Ming Kun snapped his fingers, and someone immediately handed him a bulging brown paper bag.

Lan Ming Kun didn't even bother to look at it. He reached out and took out a roll of Hong Kong dollars and threw it on the ground. He said to the bald man, "You know exactly what I want to know. What did Li Zhaoheng and Li Jiacheng talk about and do on the boat? I want to know everything! As long as you speak up, you can not only save your life, but also save my little brother from tying you up and sinking you into the sea. You can also take away the ten thousand Hong Kong dollars!"

The bald man was stunned for a moment, looked at the money on the ground, and snorted coldly: "You want to bribe me? Then you are making a wrong calculation!"

Without saying anything, Lan Ming Kun took out another scroll and threw it on the ground: "Twenty thousand! What did they say?"

"I won't be bribed! Although I'm just a boat-watcher, I'm also loyal! Mr. Li is usually very good to me, I won't betray him!"

"Really?" Lan Ming Kun nodded, reached out and took out a scroll and threw it out: "30,000, will you tell me?"

The bald man took a look at the money and swallowed his saliva: "Like I said, I am loyal! Mr. Li is not only good to me, but also to my family. Last time my mother was sick and hospitalized and had no money for treatment, he paid for it for me!"

Lan Ming Kun said nothing, but nodded. This time he took out two scrolls and threw them on the ground: "Fifty thousand! The most! If you don't tell me, there's nothing I can do!"

Gudong!

The bald man took one look at the money and swallowed hard, "And my wife, when I was in danger giving birth in the hospital last time, it was Mr. Li who helped me find a doctor. That doctor is very skilled and saved my wife and son - Mr. Li has given our family a new life!"

Lan Ming Kun smiled and said, "It seems that this way of talking is too inefficient. From now on, I will ask you once and reduce your money once - are you going to say it or not?"

"I've already said it, Mr. Li has been very kind to me, I won't betray him!"

Lan Ming Kun directly took back the ten thousand yuan!

"There are only 40,000 left now. Do you want to tell me?"

"I just said, that..." The bald man was a little anxious, "I will not be ungrateful. My mother, my wife and children have all received his kindness..."

Lan Ming Kun took away 30,000 yuan directly, "There is still one last 10,000 yuan! If you don't tell me, then prepare to sink into the sea!"

The two younger brothers stepped forward and watched the bald guy get ready.

The bald guy got anxious.

"How could you do this?" The bald man stood up suddenly. "When you added money, it was so little, but when you reduced it, it was so much?"

Lan Ming Kun smiled: "I made the rules, I can do whatever I want!"

Bald guy: "If I tell you, can I get 50,000?"

Lanmingkun nodded: "Of course you can, but then you will be ungrateful!" After that, he picked up the peeled apple, took a big bite.

"Tsk, who still cares about loyalty these days!" The bald man hurriedly picked up the money on the ground, "Loyalty is only for those idiots! To be honest, I would have told you guys a high price at the beginning! And you can avoid getting beaten up!"

Lan Ming Kun smiled, biting the apple and said, "You have a bright future."

"Really?" The bald man stuffed the money into his arms and looked up at the rotten Kun and said, "Even the fortune teller said so. I will make a fortune this year! Haha!"

……

Ten minutes later. Lan Mingkun frowned, he had learned all about Li Zhaoheng and others' plan from this bald guy, to raise 10 billion to deal with Du Yongxiao.

Moreover, these people have also taken out mortgage loans from major banks. These are the most important things, and they are also what Du Yongxiao asked Lan Mingkun to find out clearly.

Because Du Yongxiao wants to get all the mortgages!

"No, I have to pass this information to Mr. Du as soon as possible!" Lan Ming Kun knew the seriousness of the situation. Now every minute counts, and every minute is related to the outcome of the future battle.

Just as Lan Ming Kun was about to leave the warehouse and take the express train to pass on the news he had just received--
Crunch-——
The warehouse door suddenly opened slowly——
A sarcastic voice said, "Rotten Kun, do you want to leave? But unfortunately, I guess you can't leave today!"

As they were talking, more than thirty people came rushing in from outside. The leader was a man in his forties, with a sturdy build, a thin face, high cheekbones, and deep-set eyes, like a monkey.

"It's you? Tie Maliu, the twelfth uncle of Hehetu?" Lan Mingkun couldn't help but look surprised when he saw the person coming.

"Yes, it's me!" The visitor laughed sinisterly, "I didn't expect that you, a famous figure in the martial arts world, would still recognize me, even though we, the twelfth prince of Hehetu, have been silent for so many years!"

The twelfth uncle of the Hehetu Emperor was very famous in Hong Kong back then.

Unfortunately, their fortunes were ruined by a broken tooth.

Beng Ya Cai, one of the 12 uncles, colluded with the pirates on Pirate Island, opposed Du Yongxiao, and was eventually imprisoned. The Hehetu society was also given special attention and severely cracked down by Du Yongxiao.

So much so that now many people in Hong Kong know that you can join a social group, but never join the Hehetu!
Hehetu used to be engaged in water and land business, making a lot of money and having tens of thousands of disciples. Now, the water and land business has been closed, the disciples have dwindled, and many social groups and gangs that were originally inferior to them are able to take advantage of them.

Tie Maliu, one of the twelfth imperial uncles, originally opened a Finnish sauna business on Bolan Street. His dance hall and nightclub were also doing booming business. However, because of Beng Yacai and Du Yongxiao's suppression, his businesses went bankrupt one after another. Even if you paid the fees, the venue would be inspected by the police every day, making it impossible for him to continue his business.

For this reason, Tie Maliu hated Du Yongxiao to the core, thinking that everything was his fault. If he had not allowed the police to raid his place, he would not have fallen to the point of sweeping the streets.

Tie Maliu was originally a ruthless man among the Twelve Imperial Uncles, and he was also one of the only six surviving among the Twelve Imperial Uncles.

There is a saying circulating in the world to describe these six "last remaining" bosses:
The broken-toothed man is cunning, the hunchback is cool, the big-eyed man is ungrateful, the old swallow is lecherous; the kind-hearted Che Shenqiu is soft-hearted, and the cruel-hearted Tie Maliu is ruthless!

indeed!

As the most ruthless of the Twelve Imperial Uncles, Tie Ma Liu was able to rise to the top because of the help of a machete in his hand, which allowed him to kill people from Nathan Road to Bowl Lane, with bones piling up behind him and corpses all over the ground. Finally, he was able to gain a foothold in Bowl Lane, build a large foundation, and become the youngest of the Twelfth Imperial Uncle in Hehetu!
Now, Tie Maliu, who is in his forties, feels that he is not old yet and can still fight!
No matter how much Du Yongxiao suppresses Hehetu, or how much he suppresses him, he can endure it.

Because he wants to find an opportunity to turn defeat into victory and get back everything he lost!

Today is the chance!
"Lun Ming Kun, to be honest, Mr. Li is very optimistic about you! Before coming here, he told me that it would be best if we could recruit you! Haha! Mr. Li is really a talented person, with a very smart mind. He had already calculated that the damn bald guy was not loyal! He would betray them! So he let me wait here!" Tie Maliu said with a click of the tongue.

Lanmingkun stared at Tiemalu gloomily without saying a word.

To be honest, he never expected that he would be tricked by Li Zhaoheng. He thought he could make a contribution to Hong Yihai, but unexpectedly he fell into the other party's trap.

"Hey, rotten Kun, now I'm giving you a chance. As long as you stay here obediently, I won't make things difficult for you. Maybe we can become friends in the future and drink and chat happily together!" Tie Maliu said with a sinister smile.

"Friends? I really like making friends, but unfortunately, not with you!" Lanming Kun said coldly.

"Haha, you're still being stubborn even now. Is the Du guy really that good that you're so devoted to him?"

"I don't know if it's a good thing or not. I just know that I can't betray him again. Also, I have to hurry up and pass the message to him!"

Tie Ma Liu laughed, looking up to the sky and laughing.

"Hahaha, good job! Today I finally met a true hero who would rather die than betray his master!" Tie Maliu said, his eyes stern, and pointed at the warehouse door, "See? The door is right over there. If you want to go first, it's up to you!"

As they were talking, everyone from Hehetu who came with Tie Maliu stepped forward collectively and took out the long swords hidden behind their backs.

moment--
The blade flashes and the cold air is pressing.

More than thirty people, facing ten people of Rotten Life Kun, three to one!

Victory!

"Brother Kun, what should we do?"

One of his men stepped forward and asked, "There are many of them, and they are all good fighters! I know some of them, and at least seven or eight of them are at the Red Stick level!"

Everyone lives in a small place like Hong Kong, and they often see each other. Therefore, when fighting, the weaker party will take the initiative to weigh their strength. If the difference is too big, they will admit defeat directly, so as to avoid the two sides really fighting and blood spilling.

Lan Ming Kun narrowed his eyes, "Why, are you scared?"

"No, Brother Kun, the main thing is--" The younger brother Yan spitted, straightened his back suddenly, and patted his chest: "I'm not afraid! At worst, I can be a brave man again in 18 years!"

"That's right! If you want to get ahead, one step will lead to success and the next step will lead to death. We all make a living with coffins on our backs. Don't lose your morale and backbone just because you haven't fought a battle for a long time because you have been taken care of by Mr. Du in the past few years!"

"No, Brother Kun!"

"We live and die together!"

"Hoohoo!"

Hong Yihai and the others roared.

Seeing that Lan Ming Kun refused to admit defeat even when facing death, Tie Maliu could not help but shook his head in contempt and said, "Why bother? For a mere Mr. Du, are so many of you going to die?"

The words fell to the ground——
Suddenly a voice said, "Who said that? It's not certain who is seeking death!"

While talking-——
Hurala!
Hundreds of people rushed in from outside, armed with machetes, knives, iron chains, baseball bats and other heavy weapons, and directly surrounded the people of Hehetu!
The first person wiped his nose and said, "You and the people from Hetu want to deal with Mr. Du. Have you asked me, Su Long of Zhongxiao Society?"

"Zhongxiao Society?"

"Su Long?!"

Tie Maliu and others were shocked and looked at the person who came.

Broken eyebrow!

Shave the face!
Good figure!

A sinister and resolute look on his face.

Who else could it be if not the former “Father of Muay Thai” and “Head Coach of Sun Yee On” Su Long?

Looking again, those following Su Long were Li Tailong, Chen Yaoxing and others.

These people were all unruly and looked at the people in the harmony diagram with eager eyes.

This time, all the tough guys from Zhongxiao Society have come out!
Tie Maliu's expression changed again and again!
There are more than 30 people on their side, and hundreds of people on the other side, it’s three to one!

Victory!

wipe!
How is this fight going?
