Wu Shihou naturally understood this, but he wasn't afraid.
Han Shaoqing was incredibly strong; the force of a single kick was at least a thousand catties. Furthermore, he was generous and looked after his brothers. A leader like that was worth following.
As for Fatty Chao, they'd deal with whatever came their way. If worse came to worst, they'd fight to the death.
They both had a head on their shoulders, so who was afraid of whom?
His only worry was the safety of his younger brother and Da Wei.
Wu Shihou wasn't afraid to risk his life, but he was afraid of his brothers getting hurt. It wasn't easy for his brothers to come to Hong Kong to make a living with him, so he had to consider their safety.
This was Wu Shihou's strength: he always put his brothers first, kept his word, and valued loyalty. It was precisely because of this that his brothers were willing to risk their lives for him.
This was exactly what Han Shaoqing admired about Wu Shihou.
Wu Shihou hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Qing, we've offended Fatty Chao. They'll be coming after us soon. My little brother is still at home, I want to take him with us."
Han Shaoqing saw Wu Shihou's concerns and said, "Why run? If Fatty Chao dares to cause trouble, we'll make sure he leaves on his back."
"But Fatty Chao has a few hundred guys under him, and there's just a few of us..."
Even though he knew Han Shaoqing was skilled, it was hard to fight against a crowd. As the saying goes, a strong dragon can't beat a snake in its own territory. Wu Shihou didn't know Han Shaoqing's true strength and couldn't help but feel uncertain.
Han Shaoqing casually said, "Don't worry, I've got this."
Seeing Han Shaoqing's confidence, Wu Shihou didn't say anything more.
After all, Han Shaoqing was the boss, and he didn't seem like the reckless type. Since he said that, he must have a plan.
Back outside the rented room, Wu Shihou said with a smile, "I'm back!"
Pushing open the door and following Wu Shihou into the room, Han Shaoqing found a house with a strong sense of history. The tenants were separated by simple wooden boards.
The items placed in the room all had characteristics of the 1960s, and there were some things he had never seen before.
Wu Shihou, Da Wei, Xi Wei, and Ya Qi all had smiles on their faces. Dressed in suits, they walked into the room with bags and packages in their hands, as if they were returning home in glory.
On the worn-out double bed, Wu Shihou's younger brother, Wu Shizheng, was wearing a striped undershirt and buried his head in his books, wearing glasses. Seeing Wu Shihou and the others looking brand new, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Brother, you guys..."
"Ah Zheng, Brother met a benefactor today. This is Brother Qing, a... big boss. We'll be following him from now on. Come, this is the roast duck Brother brought for you."
Wu Shihou smiled and handed a roast duck to Wu Shizheng.
Brother Qing?
Wu Shizheng looked at Han Shaoqing, who nodded slightly in response.
"Landlady, this is the rent we owe you. Thank you for taking care of us all these years." Wu Shihou took out two hundred dollars and handed it to the Landlady, who was eating, and also gave her a roasted duck as a token of gratitude.
The Landlady was a middle-aged woman in her fifties, who looked quite amiable. She smiled and said, "Oh, you look quite the gentleman in that suit. Looks like you've made something of yourself, Ah Hao, congratulations!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
Wu Shihou was very polite. Han Shaoqing turned his head and saw the little girl living in the attic, who was curiously sizing him up. When she saw the roasted duck Wu Shihou had given, she almost started drooling.
Han Shaoqing casually took a box of roasted duck from Da Wei's bag and handed it over, saying, "Eat this."
Ah Hua hesitated, wanting to take it but also a little afraid. She looked at Wu Shihou for help.
Seeing this, Wu Shihou laughed heartily and said, "If Brother Qing gives it to you, take it. Remember to thank Brother Qing."
Ah Hua then took it, and said timidly, "Thank you, Brother Qing."
"You're welcome."
Han Shaoqing said, hearing a flurry of footsteps approaching, he thought to himself, Fatty Chao's people are here so soon?
But something felt wrong. Judging by the sound, there were only four people, too few.
It could be that they were just passing by and looking for someone else.
However, these people stopped in front of the rental house. One of them kicked open the dilapidated wooden door, arrogantly shouting, "Gambling Yang, pay up!"
Another underling looked around and said, "Brother Wealth, Gambling Yang isn't here, he's probably run off."
Big Ruined Wealth rubbed his nose, ignoring Han Shaoqing and the others, and looked at Ah Hua, "He ran off, then we'll take his daughter to pay the debt."
"What are you doing? Whatever it is, there's no need to bully a child."
Han Shaoqing stepped forward, and Wu Shihou and the others immediately stood behind him.
Big Ruined Wealth sized Han Shaoqing up, seeing that he was well-dressed and seemed to have some money. Plus, with Wu Shihou and the others standing there, they weren't at an advantage in terms of numbers. He rubbed his nose and forced himself to calm down, saying, "Want to be a hero, huh? Her dad owes our casino ten thousand. Here's the IOU, black and white, it's all written clearly. If you want to be kind, give us ten thousand, and this is over. If you don't have money, then get lost."
"Here's ten thousand, leave the IOU."
Han Shaoqing casually took out ten thousand to settle the matter. Problems that could be solved with money were no problem at all.
Seeing Han Shaoqing's generosity, Big Ruined Wealth didn't immediately hand over the IOU, but instead became even more greedy, "Ten thousand is just the principal, no interest, huh? Nine out thirteen back, do you understand the rules?"
"Rules? I'll punch your mother, my fist is the rules."
Seeing Big Ruined Wealth's greed, Han Shaoqing punched him, directly breaking his nose, causing him to see stars and bleed profusely.
It was only because Han Shaoqing had good control over his strength that he didn't smash Big Ruined Wealth's head with that punch.
Big Ruined Wealth was dazed. The few underlings around him just helped him up, not rushing forward to avenge their boss.
Those who valued loyalty were, after all, a minority. Big Ruined Wealth's character wasn't good to begin with, and his underlings didn't get much benefit from him. Seeing that the other side had more people, no one was willing to risk their lives for him.
Wu Shihou and Da Wei charged forward, delivering a flurry of punches and kicks.
"You damned bastard, you charged thirteen percent interest, right?"
"Look at you, ungrateful piece of trash."
"Stop fighting, I was wrong, I was wrong. I'm with Big Grey Bear. If something happens to me, you won't get away either."
Wu Shihou looked at Han Shaoqing, who waved his hand. Only then did they back off.
I pulled out two hundred yuan and tossed it onto Big Ruined Wealth. I said, "I'm a fair person. This two hundred yuan is for your medical expenses. Keep your eyes open in the future, and don't let me see you again. Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I do. Get lost."
Han Shaoqing didn't even bother to look at such a small fry. After getting the IOU, he casually tore it up and threw it in Big Ruined Wealth's face.
He wasn't afraid of Big Grey Bear coming to cause trouble. For Han Shaoqing, unless they possessed extraordinary power, ordinary people were just asking for a beating, no matter how many there were.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Big Ruined Wealth, terrified, picked up the money and limped away.
Wu Shihou looked at Ah Hua and said to Han Shaoqing, "Brother Qing, Ah Hua is a pitiful child. Her father ran away. I want to take her with me."
