Chapter 1194 For this gold, three of the four major families came.
Da Bao didn't kill Long Sihai. He knew that Long Sihai had already broken down and become a walking corpse. He still had to chase after that sum of gold and didn't have time to deal with Long Sihai.
The health department took away all the viruses, and no one dared to stay. Now, only Long Sihai and his concubine Yan Hong remained in the casino. Long Sihai knelt down with a thud and picked up the short knife from beside Cha Zi, trembling.
He glanced back at Yan Hong, sighed, and waved his hand.
"Go away. The path of the martial world is a one-way street. I have lost completely today. According to the customs of our Japan, I must commit seppuku to apologize to our lord. You should find a good man to marry and never return to Japan."
After speaking, he took off his top hat, unbuttoned his white cotton jacket, and neatly folded it, placing it aside. His long gown had long been torn to shreds; in decades, he had never looked so disheveled.
Yan Hong knelt to the side, shaking her head repeatedly, but she knew she was powerless to stop her boss from committing seppuku as an apology.
Long Sihai knelt on the floor and carefully wiped the short knife with his white cotton jacket. He felt a little regretful. He had to commit seppuku to atone for his sins, but he was missing a second. Yan Hong was a woman, and a woman whose body was defiled, so she could not be his second.
It seems I'll have to persevere and complete all the procedures myself.
Long Sihai bit the dagger with his teeth. He untied his white cloth belt, laid it flat in front of him, then took the dagger, held it in his right hand, and slowly but forcefully plunged it into his abdomen.
A sharp pain shot through him, causing Long Sihai's vision to black out. In that instant, his mind flashed like a movie, playing back events from his earliest memories: begging for food, fleeing Hokkaido, and everything that had happened to him.
Long Sihai knew he had to hurry, otherwise he wouldn't be able to cut off his own head when he cut open his stomach.
At that moment, Fujiwara Shizuka strode in. She stood expressionless beside Long Sihai. Long Sihai seemed to sense something, opened his eyes, and turned to look.
Fujiwara Shizuka stood beside him, holding a long sword. Long Sihai grinned and twisted the short sword in his hand, causing his internal organs to spill out.
Fujiwara Shizuka's long sword flashed like lightning, and Long Sihai's head fell to the ground. Only then did Long Sihai's voice reach the ears.
"Thank you, Lord."
Fujiwara Shizuka sheathed her long sword and spoke to Yan Hong without turning her head.
"Take Taro's body back to Japan and bury him in the cemetery of the Fujiwara retainers. If anyone tries to stop you, say it's my order."
"Hai!"
Yan Hong knelt on the ground, not daring to lift her head.
Fujiwara Shizuka strode out of the hotel, where Tachibana Hayako was already waiting. Fujiwara Shizuka tossed the long sword to Tachibana Hayako and said in a deep voice.
"Is it confirmed that someone is tracking gold?"
Tachibana Hayako bowed and said in a low voice.
"Three unidentified forces were following us. With our strength alone, we couldn't transport the gold back to our homeland. So I used a clever escape tactic, having Kogoro and the other two escort the truck loaded with gold to the dock."
"My lord, what should we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch our gold be stolen?"
"I said through gritted teeth," Fujiwara Shizuka said.
"This gold is a hot potato right now. As long as the Hong Kong government doesn't intervene, whoever gets the gold will be doomed, and in the end, the gold will still be ours."
"Send a telegram to the mainland immediately, ordering the Yamaguchi-gumi's Iron-Blooded Special Attack Team to depart at once and come to Hong Kong to pick me up as quickly as possible. Also, arrange for a ship to be ready to pick up the gold at any time."
As the saying goes, wealth can be blinding. Look at gold in HSBC; nobody dares to covet it. But once it's out in the open, it immediately attracts the attention of several powerful forces.
Five tons of gold is a huge sum of money in any era, especially now that the gold belongs to the Japanese. As long as they successfully seize it, bury it, and wait a few years until things calm down, they can take it out and exchange it for money.
With this money, any force would expand rapidly and become the leader of the Hong Kong underworld.
Da Bao stopped halfway after hearing the cry of the White Egret Leopard. The White Egret Leopard had become intelligent and saw that many people were lying in ambush around the truck carrying gold.
After a moment's thought, Da Bao understood. This Fujiwara Shizuka was indeed shrewd. By making the gold public, neither the government nor various gangs dared to openly hijack the car, which gave him ample time to transfer people from the mainland to Hong Kong.
Da Bao wasn't afraid of these people. With his spatial ability as a cheat, he could handle even if everyone attacked him. However, this would expose his secret to the world.
If everyone knew the secret of Da Bao's spatial ability, not only would foreign countries use every means to capture him and bring him back, but even the domestic authorities wouldn't let him go.
Da Bao knew that many countries had research institutes that specialized in studying superpowers, and that a good specimen like himself, no matter where he was captured, would not escape the fate of being dissected and studied.
Besides, it was only five tons of gold, not worth Da Bao risking his life for. So Da Bao turned back to sleep halfway there, letting them fight like dogs. Even if the sky fell, he would deal with it tomorrow.
Limpy Ho's men also took action. Before the operation, Limpy Ho called Lei Luo. Lei Luo didn't say anything, but just told Limpy Ho to be careful and to do things discreetly, otherwise it wouldn't be worth incurring the Japanese's retaliation.
The Xiang family of Hung Hing is also about to make a move. Lin Yiming, Xiang Ming's most capable subordinate and known as the Grand Steward of Hung Hing, is personally in charge of this matter. With Lin Yiming's intervention, the situation has undergone earth-shattering changes.
There was another criminal gang: the Ma brothers who ran a lottery stand. The lottery stand was the earliest form of welfare lottery. There was only one person who got rich from the lottery stand: Wang Laoji, who came from Chaoshan and was known as Uncle Ji.
Wang Laoji was a legendary figure. He was proficient in Southern Fist style martial arts. When the Japanese invaded Hong Kong, he came to Hong Kong and led his dockworkers to kill many Japanese soldiers, both openly and secretly.
After the Japanese surrendered, Hong Kong finally stabilized, and Wang Laoji and his brothers also settled down. Later, it was Zhuyouzi who gave Wang Laoji the idea to set up a lottery stall. Unexpectedly, in less than five years, Wang Laoji made a fortune.
Wang Laoji never abused his power or bullied others, and he especially liked to help his fellow villagers. On one occasion, by chance, Wang Laoji saved the Ma brothers. The elder brother was named Ma Shaolin, and the younger brother was named Ma Shihao.
Wang Laoji really liked the two young fellow villagers, so he opened a shrine and personally took the Ma brothers as his godson. He also told everyone that when he got old, he would pass on the calligraphy stall to his two godson.
