So he accepted Huo Wenyao's invitation and proposal!
Let's join forces to take down Hung Hing! While 557's Huo Wenyao isn't exactly a saint either, their United Society's forces are simply too weak. Furthermore, Han Bin and Boss B are still holding a grudge about Sister Thirteen, constantly talking about what they consider useless friendships.
In Hua Fu's opinion, if personal relationships were truly useful, then why would anyone bother joining a gang?
Everyone's here to make money, so let's not play these games.
But the Hung Hing members were just that stupid.
Han Bin, in particular, could get any woman he wanted, but he had a particular fondness for Thirteen Sister, which even the effeminate Hua Fu found somewhat unbearable.
Seeing that Han Bin and Boss B were determined to continue fighting him, which was completely beyond his expectations, he had no choice but to find another way to cooperate with Huo Wenyao!
Although Huo Wenyao wasn't much of a threat, at least his strength wasn't as great as Hung Hing's; it was about the same as his own. Moreover, Huo Wenyao didn't have any connections in Portland Street, so even if they competed, he wouldn't be a match for him.
His title of "Hua Fu, the Hua Tuo of the pleasure quarters," wasn't given lightly.
At worst, we can just wait until we've dealt with Hung Hing before turning against Fok Man-yiu. We can get past Hung Hing first, then we can talk about other details.
If he were to be defeated by Hung Hing, then Fok Man-yiu, with his growing influence on Portland Street, could still cause trouble for Hung Hing.
Therefore, in Hua Fu's view, there was no way he would lose out by partnering with Huo Wenyao!
Are all the "170" gangsters so remarkably similar in taste?
Therefore, in Hua Fu's view, there was no way he would lose out by cooperating with Huo Wenyao!
He readily accepted the invitation.
But all I can say is that Hua Fu was too naive!
He was completely unaware of the terror posed by Huo Wenyao!
Little did they know that their collaboration with Huo Wenyao was like inviting a wolf into the house, and Hua Fu would surely regret it later!
Upon seeing Hua Fu appear, Huo Wenyao immediately broke into a bright smile and stepped forward to welcome her.
"Hua Tuo of the pleasure quarters, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Hua Fu smiled brightly.
"Brother Yao, you're too kind. From now on, we'll all be doing business on the same street, so naturally we should look out for each other!"
Hua Fu emphasized the words "take care of each other."
Everyone present understood the implied meaning in those words!
Huo Wenyao: "I hope you'll continue to support me in the future!"
Hua Fu smiled brightly.
"That's natural!"
"From now on, we're all one family!"
Hua Fu waved his hand and said,
"Here, this is a gift!"
"Please don't find this offensive, Brother Yao!"
To be honest, he hadn't originally planned to bring a very nice gift to Huo Wenyao's opening ceremony.
But upon seeing Sha Meng and Wu Zhiwei, the leaders of the Tung Sing Society, and then Hua Fu, the boss of the United Daily News, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I almost embarrassed myself!"
In this world, everyone cares about face, and Hua Fu is no exception.
Now that Huo Wenyao is an important partner, how can he keep a safe gift that is lighter than others'?
Fortunately, he had prepared very thoroughly. There were two gifts in total; clapping three times was the best, and clapping once was the worst.
Immediately, one of Hua Fu's henchmen took a tray covered with red silk from the carriage.
Huo Wenyao: ""
Sha Meng and Wu Zhiwei: "
Ah Le:
Why does this look so familiar?
Onlookers exclaimed, "This scene looks so familiar!"
Huo Wenyao's hands began to tremble as he unveiled the red silk, revealing the familiar golden Buddha!
Huo Wenyao's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but ask,
"Did you all get your gifts wholesale from the same store?"
"Or is it that all gangsters have such similar tastes?!"
Huo Wenyao was dumbfounded. Who would believe it if he told anyone? He received three identical golden Buddha statues in one night!
Fortunately, the difference in workmanship is still noticeable; otherwise, Huo Wenyao would have strongly suspected that copper had been added to it.
At first, Hua Fu didn't take Huo Wenyao's teasing to heart, but then he glanced at the two identical gold Buddha statues behind Huo Wenyao, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"I should have bought that Guanyin statue!"
Huo Wenyao: ""
Sandfly, Wu Zhiwei, and Ah Le: ""
Speechless!
Whether you look at it or not, this only shows that gangsters have remarkably similar tastes.
Gold lettering is so nice; it looks good and exudes a grand atmosphere.
If you need it urgently, you can exchange it for money. It's super affordable!
Of course, the onlookers couldn't help but burst out laughing at the sight.
There was even a speculation that Huo Wenyao might like gold Buddha statues, which is why everyone was giving him this as a gift.
And then someone actually remembered it, and from then on, Huo Wenyao received a constant stream of golden Buddha statues.
It's just a gift, after all, a minor issue.
The key point is what comes next.
Huo Wenyao invited the group inside to talk.
However, in that instant of turning around,
Suddenly!
A familiar figure was walking out with their head down.
Huo Wenyao immediately broke into a friendly smile and couldn't help but say,
"Just waiting for you!"
"Still want to run?!"
Immediately, Huo Wenyao took a sudden step, startling everyone around him.
The crowd's surprised gazes followed Huo Wenyao as he passed by.
Immediately, Huo Wenyao pushed through the crowd, appeared behind a figure, and said with a smile.
"Miao sir, since you're already here, please come in and have a seat!"
Indeed, the person Huo Wenyao was patting on the back was none other than Miao Zhishun, who was determined to get rid of Huo Wenyao to avenge Yang Jinrong.
Actually, Miao Zhishun was very excited when he heard that Huo Wenyao was going to cause trouble on Portland Street. He immediately arranged for Ah Zu and Ah Jin to start gathering information.
Huo Wenyao made no attempt to hide anything and directly called to invite him to the opening ceremony.
Miao Zhishun initially thought Huo Wenyao was just putting on a show, but he couldn't figure out the situation, so he rushed over to see for himself. To his utter surprise, he found Huo Wenyao colluding with Tung Sing, the United Society, and Wo Luen Shing. He was immediately excited, feeling that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
He then wanted to leave quietly.
But to his surprise, Huo Wenyao saw him and he didn't even have time to run away!
At this moment, Miao Zhishun was dumbfounded!
"Damn it! I miscalculated!"
"I didn't expect the Huo family to have such good eyesight!"
Immediately, Miao Zhishun turned around awkwardly, greeted Huo Wenyao with feigned calmness, and said,
"I was just passing by and thought I'd take a look!"
Huo Wenyao immediately put on a friendly smile, put his arm around Miao Zhishun's shoulder, and laughed.
"There's no need for such formalities between us!"
"Who in Hong Kong doesn't know we're partners?"
Miao Zhishun: ""
