Chapter 62: Follow Brother Gang, not a single big fish will get away!
Liu Haizhu reached out his hand very politely: "Ah, it's you. Thanks a lot."
After the two shook hands, Emperor craned his neck to look down and sincerely praised: "Brother, you are really formidable, even a tiger can be killed by you!"
Liu Haizhu shook his head with a smile, then asked with some worry: "This... won't cause any trouble, will it?"
Killing a tiger was a grave crime!
Back in his hometown, if you dared to beat a tiger to death in a zoo, serving at least five years of sewing mailbags on a prison sewing machine was guaranteed!
Emperor smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Ben has already briefed me. Just leave the aftermath of all this to me."
Having said that, Emperor leaned closer and whispered in his ear: "I'll tell them the zoo had fallen into disrepair, causing you to accidentally fall in, and they'll even have to pay compensation for this."
Liu Haizhu secretly gave a thumbs-up: "That works."
"Brother Haizhu," Emperor said with a wink and a smile, "When the compensation comes down, shall I have it delivered to Tuen Mun for you?"
"No need, you keep it."
Liu Haizhu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Oh right, I remember now, don't you have a subordinate named Lok Yat-chai?"
"Yes, I do. What about him?" Emperor nodded without hesitation. It was useless to hide this; every branch had registered personnel, and a simple check would reveal it.
Initially, upon hearing that the compensation was meant for him, he had been quite happy.
But at that moment, Emperor's brow furrowed: "Brother Haizhu, did Lok Yat-chai offend you in any way?"
"No," Liu Haizhu shook his head with a smile. "Tuen Mun has just been launched, and I'm short of people. So..."
Hearing this, Emperor immediately relaxed, and smiled as he said, "It's Lok Yat-chai's fortune to be able to follow you. I'll have him sent over later."
"Heh, alright!"
...
"Thud!"
Ah Gang jumped down from the lift and shouted at Emperor the moment he saw him, "Did you bring a car?"
Emperor nodded, looking slightly bewildered: "I brought one."
This brute was on the same level as his own big boss, someone he truly couldn't afford to provoke.
Mainly because this guy would pick fights with people out of nowhere, and his head wasn't quite right.
Ah Gang: "Are there any clothes in the car?"
Emperor looked even more bewildered: "No."
"Rip!~~~"
Ah Gang threw his arms out and tore the ragged strips of cloth off his body right in front of everyone, revealing his explosive, muscular physique.
His body gleamed with sweat, drawing gasps of astonishment from the onlookers.
Lok Wing-sze speechlessly covered her younger sister's eyes with her hand—it was simply too harsh on the eyes.
...
Ha!
Facing the onlookers, Ah Gang even struck an overly enthusiastic bodybuilding pose.
Then he reached his hand out toward Emperor: "Take it off, give it to me!"
Emperor stared with his big round eyes: "What the fuck...!"
...
When they left, Brother Emperor was shirtless, watching them go with tears in his eyes.
*Slap!*
After closing the car door properly,
Liu Haizhu suddenly stretched his neck out and shouted, "Emperor, take some time to discipline your son!"
"Vroom!"
Ah Gang stepped on the gas pedal, and the car roared away.
Looking at the vanishing taillights of the speeding car, Brother Emperor was left standing in the wind, completely bewildered...
Son?
Whose son???
He had a chubby baby boy last year, but that little brat was only a little over a year old, right?
How was he supposed to discipline him? Go home and spank his little butt???
At this moment, Emperor felt utterly melancholy!
...
On the flight from Jiangcheng to Hong Kong,
Yang Peng was quite happy. Sitting in this iron bird, it seemed he had countless words to express.
After all, it was his first time flying.
Yet the moment he looked at them, his heart instantly plunged.
Why was that?
Counting Haozi, there were six other grown men in their entourage.
How should he put it?
These individuals sat there rigidly facing forward, each and every one of them as cold as millennial ice!
Not a single trace of expression, not a single movement, and not even a single fart.
They just sat there, as cold as an ice sculpture platoon, their gazes sharp... exuding an aura of utter chill all over!
...
On the way to the countryside,
Lok Ni-ni sat in the passenger seat, leisurely enjoying the scenery outside the window.
Ah Gang wore a slightly undersized tank top, humming a tune as he drove.
In the back seat, Liu Haizhu gently held Wing-sze, who had already grown sleepy, and remained silent.
Ah Gang suddenly turned around in deep shock, shouting at Liu Haizhu: "Hey, Zhu Zi, don't you even want to ask me where I'm taking you?"
Little Ni-ni's shoulders trembled slightly. She rolled down the car window just a fraction, squinted her eyes, and let the cool breeze blow in, feeling very comfortable.
Yet this little girl would occasionally glance back, and seeing the two of them so deeply in love put her mind at ease.
...
"Zhu Zi!"
Ah Gang turned his head once more, asking in utter shock: "Ask me!"
Liu Haizhu opened his eyes, frowned, and asked, "Did you eat garlic!"
Ah Gang stared with wide eyes: "Yeah, I ate some! That stuff smells great!"
Liu Haizhu was practically speechless: "Just focus on driving!"
"Oh!"
Ah Gang acknowledged, but less than a minute later, he violently whipped his head back around and roared: "You gotta ask me!"
Liu Haizhu slapped his own palm against his forehead: "Big brother, I'll call you my big brother, okay? ...What the hell do you actually want me to ask?"
Lok Wing-sze lay in his arms, giggling uncontrollably.
Ah Gang glared at him: "You have to ask, ask me where we're going!"
"Sigh!~~~"
Liu Haizhu felt his heart was so tired: "Big brother, go wherever you want to go. I don't want to ask."
"No!"
Ah Gang's eyes bulged as he almost lost his temper: "You have to ask!"
"Dad," Liu Haizhu's linguistic defenses completely collapsed, "Where are you going?"
"Hahaha!"
Lok Wing-sze simply couldn't hold it in any longer: "Hee hee hee, ha ha ha!"
Ah Gang became even more excited: "Let me tell you guys, what you call entertainment over there?! ...Has zero sense of depth!
Today, Brother Gang is going to let you experience... get to know... and understand... what true life is!
...I guarantee once you try it you'll want it twice, try it twice you'll want it thrice, every single time hits the spot!"
"So..." Liu Haizhu asked, completely bewildered, "What are you taking us to do?"
Ah Gang roared imperiously: "Ha, draining the pond, leasing the pond! It's gotta be a fish pond! And we're talking about an old fish pond that's been around for decades!
As the saying goes,
Follow Brother Gang, ha, not a single big fish will slip away!"
Looking at the confident back of Ah Gang's head, Liu Haizhu suddenly felt that today's itinerary was definitely not going to be very reliable.
...
After two hours of driving,
Ah Gang brought them to the northern part of the New Territories, to a place called Tianzhai Village.
...
After getting out of the car,
Liu Haizhu stretched lazily, gave a slight flick of his hands, and instantly became full of spirit.
You have to hand it to them—even in such a prosperous place like Hong Kong, there existed such a tranquil sanctuary.
Pastoral fields, small courtyards, mountain forests, and rustic villagers.
In that instant, both Liu Haizhu's body and mind relaxed, feeling as though he had returned to Liu Family Village.
Heh heh,
He turned to look at Ah Gang, his gaze filled with a hint of approval: You kid really know how to live.
Wing-sze also stepped out of the car, tucked her small hand into his large one, and softly murmured, "This place is nice."
"Let me tell you!"
Liu Haizhu suddenly felt a rush of satisfaction and stated frankly, "My hometown is just like this, you know?"
Wing-sze curved her eyes into crescents as she looked at him, softly asking, "Brother Zhu, are you planning to take me home?"
This stubborn fellow was instantly filled with wild joy, unable to hide his words: "Wing-sze, c-can I?"
"Hee hee," Wing-sze turned and walked back toward the car, murmuring softly, "Depends on how well you behave."
Ah Gang cast a sideways glance at the two of them, then trotted off into the village like an eager puppy.
Before long, he dragged an old man out along with his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and a whole crowd of people.
...
Shovel-man Ah Gang glared with wide eyes: "Where's the fish pond? Didn't you hype it up so much on the phone?"
Liu Haizhu narrowed his eyes as he watched.
He suddenly realized that this definitely wasn't the first time Ah Gang had pulled a stunt like this.
