After taking a shower, Li He was lying on the bed watching TV when the doorbell rang. He looked through the peephole and saw that it was a hotel attendant, so he opened the door.
"Mr. Li, do you know those people outside?" The one who spoke was a delicate little girl.
"I don't know them." Li He didn't need to think to know that it was Little Yellow Feather's group. He didn't expect them to be guarding downstairs.
The young lady said, "Mr. Li, why don't we help you call the police? We can guarantee your safety in the hotel, but if you go out, it will be more dangerous. "
"Thank you, I'll handle it myself." Li He had a good impression of this little girl.
"Mr. Li, these people are from the club. We suggest that you call the police. You came from the mainland, so you're not too familiar with the situation here. "The little girl kindly reminded him.
"Do you know which club they are from?"
"I'm not sure about that." The little girl shook her head and hurriedly added, "But Brother Chicken definitely knows. Shall I ask Brother Chicken for you?"
Li He nodded. "Sorry to trouble you."
After the little girl left in a hurry, she brought up a middle-aged man wearing a big gold chain. He had a buzz cut and was wearing a flowery shirt. When he saw Li He, he asked in a frivolous manner, "Mister, are you looking for me?"
Li He handed her a cigarette and asked with a smile, "Do you know those people downstairs?"
"Sir, don't worry. This place is under the protection of my boss. No one dares to cause trouble here. You can rest assured and stay here." The man with the buzz cut said indifferently.
Li He said, "I'm going out, right?"
The man with the buzz cut said very seriously, "I'm sorry. Once you go out, it's not our responsibility."
"Then tell me where they are from, and I'll send them away."
The buzz cut man puffed out a ring of smoke and looked at Li He from head to toe. He smiled and said, "They're from Shenghe, and they won't be easy to deal with. Are you from the mainland? It's fine if you have a friend from the Big Circle Boys to stand up for you. Otherwise, I'd advise you not to go out, especially at night. It's best to stay upstairs for the next few days. "
"I'll handle it myself. Thank you for telling me. “
"If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you. "The buzz cut hates customers who overestimate themselves the most. After saying that, he turned around and left. He had already done his best for the hotel's guests to treat him this way.
The young lady had probably heard of He Shenghe's name. She said nervously, "Mr. Li, you'd better listen to Brother Chicken. If you want to eat or buy something, just tell me. I'll go down and buy it for you. You don't need to go out."
Li He didn't find anything in his pocket, so he turned around and took out 20 dollars from his wallet and handed it to the girl. "Thank you."
"Thank you, Mr. Li." The little girl took it without hesitation. It was normal for her to take tips from customers. She then said in a low voice, "We have a back door. Do you want me to take you down?"
The young lady was so excited that her face turned red. Usually, the tips from customers were 5 HKD or 10 HKD. It was rare for Li He to be so generous and tip 20 USD.
Li He said, "No need, I'll handle it myself. Can I dial the phone in my room? "
The little girl nodded. "Sure."
She cleverly took Li He's phone book and helped him dial the number.
Li He opened the curtains and looked downstairs. Indeed, there were a few people standing downstairs smoking, drinking beer, and talking and laughing.
He took the phone from the young lady.
The call connected quickly. He asked, "There's someone downstairs looking for trouble with me. I've taken care of it."
This wasn't his territory. He didn't want to do it himself. If things got out of hand, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of it. Moreover, there was no need for him to make such a simple matter so complicated. It was simply making things difficult for himself.
"Okay, I'll bring someone over right away." Yu Dehua didn't ask any more questions.
"I'll wait for you." Li He hung up. Seeing that the young lady was still in a daze, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
"No, no." The young lady was just curious about who Li He was looking for. That person dared to offend He Shenghe with just a few words from Li He.
Li He waited for the young lady to leave before closing the door.
He was lying on his bed. He hadn't even finished watching an episode of a television series when Yu Dehua arrived.
There was another person behind Yu Dehua.
"Call him Mr. Li."
The middle-aged man said to Li He, "Hello, Mr. Li. Everyone calls me Loudspeaker Quan."
Yu Dehua pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "This is the Lianying Society's something. You guys call it the Shihua Stick."
The middle-aged man said in embarrassment, "Mr. Yu, it's the Red Stick."
"Yes, yes, it's the Double Red Stick."
"The Double Red Stick," the middle-aged man corrected him again.
"Yes, yes, I got it mixed up." Yu Dehua wasn't embarrassed at all. In his eyes, he was just like a gold medal fighter.
Li He smiled and extended his hand. "Hello."
"Mr. Li, I've already stopped the people downstairs. Just tell me what to do." The middle-aged man was very polite.
Li He said, "I won't cause you any trouble, will I?"
"I'm the boss of this street. They crossed the line, so it's naturally their fault," the middle-aged man said with certainty.
Li He said, "Then warn them not to bother me again. Otherwise, I won't be polite anymore."
"Got it, Mr. Li."
Yu Dehua waved his hand at him. "Alright, go and settle it."
The buzz cut man came over in a panic and said to the loudspeaker respectfully, "Boss, you're here. Why didn't you tell us?"
The middle-aged man kicked him and glared at him. "They're already blocking the door. Do you think you're so proud?"
The buzz cut man held his stomach in grievance. "Boss, didn't you say …"
"Get lost. Send them away."
The buzz cut man didn't dare to say another word and went downstairs in a panic.
The middle-aged man followed behind him.
Li He asked Yu Dehua, "You're doing well, aren't you?"
Yu Dehua smiled and said, "When he's rich, I'm like his father. He has to support me. Only with money can he have brothers. Only then can he recruit people. Only then can he have power and status. Now, the appearance fee of a henchman has risen to two to three hundred dollars. For important occasions, it's still five hundred dollars. Without me supporting him, he would've gone bankrupt. If he hadn't met me, he would've just been a hooligan. He wouldn't have a family and a career like he has today. "
Li He said, "Are all the clubs in Hong Kong like this?"
He also understood that Yu Dehua seemed to be doing well on the surface. In reality, if he didn't have some underhanded methods, he wouldn't have made it to where he was today.
Yu Dehua said, "Fighting and quarreling is all about money. Many of the clubs are making a lot of noise. In the past two years, the Hong Kong government has cancelled the registration of many clubs. The only ones who are doing well are Sun Yee An's Xiang and 14K's Old Chen. I heard that both of them changed careers and went to film. "
Li He smiled. He didn't want to know more about this. "Go back and rest."
"I've brought you a mobile phone. It'll be more convenient for you, right?"
Li He weighed it in his hand. "It's too heavy. Keep it for yourself."
This thing weighed more than half a kilogram and was thirty to forty centimeters long. It even had a half-foot antenna. It was a bit of a torture to hold it in his hand. He'd better make do with the pager first.
Yu Dehua helplessly passed the phone to the driver next to him and said, "Old Madam heard that you're here and insisted on treating you to a meal. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"No need. I have your address. I'll take a cab there myself."
