Hong Kong Variety Show: Starting with Five Poisons, I, Dongxing Jade Kirin

At this point, she glanced at Xu Lang and decided to offer her sincerity and leverage:

"If you can help me get this sorted out, then we can develop this project together and split all the profits 50/50!"

This was the most sincerity Li Ruolan could offer, considering she had handled everything with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, which had cost a considerable amount.

However, she couldn't handle the gang forces in Temple Street, so Xu Lang had to step in.

One of them was in charge of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the other was in charge of the student association. After they finished, they split the profits 50/50, which was indeed a very fair collaboration!

Xu Lang hesitated for a moment, but before he could speak, a clear system notification sounded in his mind:

"System task issued: Help Li Ruolan resolve the trouble in Temple Street!"

"Upon completion of the mission, the host will receive a reward: one Blood-Activating Potion! After consumption, it will enhance blood and qi, with a maximum enhancement of up to three times!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Xu Lang's heart skipped a beat.

Just as he was about to agree to Li Ruolan's request, the system issued a task, and the reward was a blood-activating potion that could enhance qi and blood by three times.

There’s nothing else to say!

Thinking of this, Xu Lang immediately nodded to Li Ruolan:

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Seeing that Xu Lang readily agreed, Li Ruolan immediately raised her wine glass with a beaming smile:

"Then let's wish each other swift success!"

"Great, it's a pleasure doing business with you. May you achieve your goal!"

After putting down his wine glass, Xu Lang immediately called Hong Wentong.

"Wentong, Li Ruolan and I are planning to develop a property development on Temple Street, but Hengji's people there are causing trouble. I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Remember this: if these people try to make exorbitant demands, just break their teeth!"

……

Late at night, in a bar on a corner of Temple Street, a handsome man in a suit was chatting with someone at the bar when a short, stocky man walked over and said:

"Brother Ting, someone's causing trouble at that booth over there!"

This handsome man is named Ah Ting, and he is the protagonist of the movie "Triad".

However, at this time he had just joined the ranks of Yaowen, a top performer at Heng Kee, and had not yet risen to a higher position. He only had two or three underlings around him, and usually just stayed in this bar to keep watch.

Most of the petty thugs on Hong Kong Island are like this. Not all petty thugs who become bosses can gain territory. Many still need to act as valet parking attendants or look after other people's properties.

Although Ah Ting's boss, Yao Wen, was a top member of Heng Kee, he had grown tired of fighting and killing over the years. Now, he only had a small area in the farmers' market behind Temple Street and hadn't given Ah Ting any real territory. So, Ah Ting still had to work as a bouncer in bars like this to make a living.

Upon hearing his underling say that someone was causing trouble in the private room, Ah Ting immediately followed him over, asking questions as he went:

"who?"

"It seems to be one of Huo Baoming's underlings, something like Prince Gang! I just went to deliver some drinks and I saw him drug one of the girls' drinks, like he was trying to scam her!"

"Depend on!"

Ah Ting couldn't help but curse.

These short mules work as lookouts at the bar, not only to prevent fights but also to prevent customers from drugging and harming girls. This is not only because such things are unethical, but also because if they were to make a mistake, it would cause trouble for the owner and the bar.

0 ........ 0

And this Prince Gang A-Ting also knew him. He was a stable boy under Huo Baoming. Although he was not bad-looking, he was notorious for living off women. He often coerced and lured some naive girls to the stables to sell themselves for money.

When they arrived at the booth, they saw a girl lying crookedly on the sofa, and a short, greasy-haired man named Prince Gang was undressing her.

Ah Ting was furious and kicked the Crown Prince to the ground.

"Damn it, Prince Gang, you actually caused trouble in my territory! Don't you respect me and Brother Yaowen at all?!"

The prince, having just been kicked, immediately stood up with his henchmen, glaring angrily at Ah Ting:

"Tingzai, you really think you're someone important? You dare to hit me? Don't you know Temple Street is my boss's territory? And you're trying to scare me by bringing up Yaowen!"

Upon hearing what the Crown Prince Gang said, Ah Ting's anger subsided considerably.

Fireball Ming has a lot of influence in Temple Street, and many of the street vendors and scoundrels listen to him. If Prince Gang really calls Fireball Ming over, his bar's operations will probably be ruined.

Putting everything else aside, if he sends several groups of people to cause trouble every day, the boss will have to let Ah Ting leave.

Thinking of this, Ah Ting gritted his teeth and said:

"You drugged my boss's place. Who's going to take responsibility if something goes wrong? I'm here to keep watch, so give me some face!"

"Okay!"

The Crown Prince glanced at Ah Ting with a forced smile:

"We're all from the same sect, so don't say I'm disrespecting you, but..."

He glanced down at the footprint Ah Ting had left on his chest and said coldly:

"I'll get my revenge for that kick!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Crown Prince picked up a wine bottle from the table and smashed it down on Ah Ting's head.

Ah Ting didn't expect the other party to attack so suddenly, and was caught off guard when the other party smashed a bottle on his head.

boom!

The bottle shattered instantly, and blood flowed down Ah Ting's head.

"asshole!"

Enraged, Ah Ting punched Prince Gang to the ground. Prince Gang's henchmen immediately swarmed in and started fighting with Ah Ting and his henchmen.

Although Ah Ting was brave, there were seven or eight people on Prince Gang's side. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Moreover, the space in the booth was small, and with six or seven of them attacking him, he was quickly knocked to the ground.

The Crown Prince glanced at Ah Ting, then bent down with a cold smile and patted his face, saying:

"If you're not satisfied, feel free to have your poor boss Yaowen take you to Grandpa to complain, but I'm not afraid!"

After saying that, the Crown Prince led a few of his underlings and left.

Ah Ting and his henchmen finally managed to get up from the ground, their faces and bodies covered in bruises and swelling, and their chests aching terribly.

However, he felt even worse emotionally than physically.

At that moment, someone walked up to him, handed him a napkin, and gestured for him to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

This person was none other than Hong Wentong, the second brother of the Spirit Serpent.

Hong Wentong looked at A Ting with admiration in his eyes, and sighed, saying:

"In this business, without a boss who dares to take responsibility and without brothers who would go to great lengths for you, it's hard to make it big!" - Fan.

Chapter 149 Ah Ting, newly appointed, demands a pledge of loyalty; a fierce chase ensues in Temple Street.

Temple Street is a melting pot of all sorts of people, with various buildings housing all kinds of people trying to make a living, and it has been occupied by Heng Kee for many years.

Therefore, after receiving Xu Lang's order, Hong Wentong did not rush to take action. Instead, he took two of his underlings to Temple Street to check on the situation there.

Hong Wentong didn't know Ah Ting. He only saw that although there were only two of them, they were not afraid of the seven or eight strong men on the other side and still went up to fight them.

So, right after the Crown Prince left, Hong Wentong handed Ah Ting a tissue so he could wipe the blood off his face.

Ah Ting took the tissue, thanked him, and then wiped the bloodstains from his face.

Hong Wentong, however, pulled a business card from his pocket:

"I am Hung Man-tung of Tung Sing. If you want a better boss, you can come find me!"

Upon hearing Hong Wentong's words, Ah Ting returned the business card to him:

"Sorry, I already have a boss!"

Ah Ting's boss is none other than Fruit Market Yao Wen, who is also a Red Pole of Heng Kee. However, due to his advanced age and his weariness with many things in the underworld, he has gradually retreated behind the scenes in recent years and has long lost his former vigor and spirit.

However, Ah Ting's reaction made Hong Wentong appreciate him even more. He knew that Ah Ting's reaction precisely showed that he was loyal and righteous, and that he also had his own persistence and beliefs.

"It's okay, feel free to contact me if you have the chance in the future!"

After saying that, Hong Wentong turned around and strode away from the bar.

At this moment, the bar owner heard a disturbance in the booth and rushed over. Upon seeing that the coffee table and other items in the booth had been smashed, he flew into a rage.

"Ah Ting, I hired you to keep watch, what are you doing! Let me tell you, you have to pay for what happened today!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Ting couldn't help but get angry.

Good grief, the reason I got into a fight was to maintain order at your lousy bar, so that you wouldn't get involved in any messy things.

As a result, he was beaten and injured, but the boss didn't see it and still had the nerve to make him pay compensation.

"I'll pay you back, you old man!"

Ah Ting cursed angrily, then turned and walked out of the bar with his henchman Ah Xiang.

After leaving the bar, Ah Ting looked back, his face full of dejection.

After being out in the game for so long, I'm still just a bartender, with no territory or henchmen. I even got into a fight over the bar and fell out with the owner...

"Brother Ting, what do we do next?"

Ah Xiang glanced at him and couldn't help but ask.

Ah Ting sighed:

"Let's go find Brother Yaowen first. This was caused by the Crown Prince, and he has to give us an explanation!"

The two then turned around and went to the fruit market to find Ah Ting's older brother, Yao Wen.

At this moment, Yaowen was lying on a recliner, with only a few buttons undone on his floral shirt. He was eating an apple in one hand and had one leg propped up on the edge of the fruit stand, looking quite unkempt.

Seeing Ah Ting arrive with a bruised and swollen face, Yao Wen stood up and asked:

"What happened? Who did you get into a fight with?"

Ah Ting was silent for a moment, then said:
