Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Chapter 213: Conversation in the Night

In Tsim Sha Tsui, Salisbury Road attracts countless people's attention with its unique prosperity.

On this neon-lit street, on the 18th floor of the Empire Hotel, Ni Kun is standing side by side with his second son, Ni Yongxiao.

The figures of the two were lengthened by the dazzling night view of Victoria Harbour outside the window, as if they had merged into one with this bustling scene.

"Father," Ni Yongxiao's voice was low and firm, his eyes looking through the night, as if looking for some answer.

"The Hong Kong police took such a big action last night, and your long-cherished wish is to help your family get rid of the shadow of the past and walk on the right path."

"In that case, why don't you take advantage of the current opportunity to completely abandon the flour business and turn to legal business?"

"This will not only protect my family, but also leave a clean legacy for the family."

Upon hearing this, Ni Kun slowly turned around. In his eyes, which had seen all the vicissitudes of life, there was both satisfaction with his son's growth and worry about the uncertainty of the future.

He gently patted Ni Yongxiao's shoulder, his tone was somewhat helpless and deep: "Ah Xiao, the rules of this world are much more complicated than you think."

"Selling flour is not like selling pills. Once you step into this business, it's like being stuck in a quagmire. It's impossible to get out of it unscathed!"

"It's like a double-edged sword, which can bring huge profits but also comes with endless crises."

"We can try to reduce risks and split up our business, such as gradually reducing the proportion of illegal activities and assigning them to Guohua, Gandhi and others, and increasing the proportion of legal operations."

“But wanting to completely clear your name is just wishful thinking.” When Ni Kun said this, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

“Whether it’s those high-handed foreigners in Hong Kong Island or those material suppliers far away in the Golden Triangle, they will not let us go easily.”

"Our withdrawal will affect the financial and political interests of too many people, and will ultimately lead to endless pursuit and retaliation."

“In this circle, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends, only eternal interests.”

Upon hearing this, Ni Yongxiao frowned, and a trace of unwillingness and struggle flashed in his eyes.

He understood that his father's words were not alarmist, and then, as a new generation about to enter society, he inherited his father's gene of longing for light.

At the same time, he was unwilling to let his family be shrouded in darkness for generations.

"Father, I understand your concerns. As the new generation of the family, I am willing to take on this responsibility and find a new way out for our family."

Ni Yongxiao's words are not only full of firmness and determination, but also contain infinite longing for the future and courage after careful consideration.

Upon hearing this, Ni Kun's eyes became softer and deeper. He looked at his second son, Ni Yongxiao, whose resolute face was full of indomitable spirit and wisdom.

In contrast, the eldest son, Ni Yongzhong, who is a doctor, has great medical skills and a compassionate heart, but he has no interest in the family business;

The youngest son, Ni Yongyi, is addicted to sensual pleasures, is uneducated and uneducated, and does not care about the family's responsibilities and future.

Thinking of this, Ni Kun felt mixed emotions, feeling both happy and expectant about Ni Yongxiao, but also helpless and sighing about the fate of his other two sons.

He gently placed his hands on Ni Yongxiao's shoulders. Although his hands had been weathered, they still conveyed warmth and strength.

Ni Kun pretended to laugh heartily to cover up the turmoil in his heart, "It's enough that you have this intention. As for clearing the family name, I will take care of the way ahead."

As he spoke, he slowly took out the photo of his illegitimate child from his pocket, stared at it, and murmured softly: "As long as the family can be together, that's the most important thing."

Ni Yongxiao looked at the photo in his father's hand and realized that the person in the photo should be his younger brother Ni Yongren, whom his second uncle had mentioned and whom he had never met.

Ni put away the photo and sat upright on the sofa: "I have been slowly dividing the flour business among Guohua, Han Chen and others three years ago. We only need to control the supply channels and routes."

"When they completely take over our identity as the 'Flour Family', we will be able to officially change from black to gray. Then, you and your brothers and sisters will be able to stand in the sunshine of Hong Kong Island."

Ni Yongxiao showed a smile on his face and felt a little excited when he saw his father's description of standing in the sunshine of Hong Kong Island.

--------------------

On Pitt Street, Yau Ma Tei, after thoroughly understanding the situation, Scorpion Tail did not delay for a moment and rushed back to the boxing gym as fast as a gust of wind in the night.

He walked through the bustling training ground on the first floor and went straight to the second floor without stopping.

Scorpion Tail hurriedly came to Liu Xu, his face solemn, and in a low and powerful voice he reported in detail what he had found after his in-depth investigation:

"Brother Xu, last night the Hong Kong police, for some unknown reason, suddenly launched a large-scale operation called 'Anti-Terrorism'."

He paused for a moment, as if to organize his words: "They first quietly evacuated residents in the Kwun Tong area where members of the 'Vietnamese Gang' were active."

"Then, they took advantage of the opportunity when the Vietnamese gang and other gangs got into a fierce fight."

"A large number of fully armed special police quickly launched an indiscriminate cleanup operation against several major bases of the 'Vietnamese Gang' and the members of the gangs that were fighting with them."

When the word "indiscriminate" was mentioned, Scorpion Tail swallowed unconsciously, and the expression on his face became heavier. He was obviously a little uneasy about the police's almost 'massacre' strategy.

"At present, not only all members of the 'Vietnamese Gang' seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth."

“Even the gangsters who used to infest that area disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.”

After hearing Scorpion Tail's report, Liu Xu's fingers unconsciously accelerated the rotation of the Buddhist beads in his hand, and each turn seemed to release the fluctuations in his heart.

When the three words "Vietnamese Gang" jumped into his ears, he had a premonition that Scorpion Tail's next words might be related to Windsor.

Then, when the seven words "indiscriminate elimination operation" exploded in his ears, layers of fog rose in his heart, and his eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.

"Windsor, does she really have such ability? Can she make the Hong Kong police take such a resolute and indiscriminate annihilation action against the 'Vietnamese Gang' at all costs?"

He muttered to himself, the image of Windsor's intact figure appearing in his mind.

This is in stark contrast to the tragic case in the early 21st century where a top scientist met with an unexpected accident and a second-generation red died.

He did not think that just because she was the eldest daughter of a duke, she could not afford to be bullied.

The foreign leaders in Hong Kong could issue such an extreme order. Unless there are more complicated political games and family feuds hidden behind it.

He speculated that perhaps there were hostile forces against Alexandria working in secret.

This move is intended to attract widespread international attention, point the finger at the Windsors, and attempt to suppress the Alexander family.

However, as soon as this idea came to mind, it was rejected by Liu Xu.

After all, as the Deputy Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force, Alexander Galen must be well aware of the inside story of this operation.

If it was really a hostile force pushing it in secret, Galen would have informed the family immediately so that appropriate measures could be taken to stop it.
