Chapter 188 First Encounter with the White Dragon King
The following afternoon, the three of us went to Ruixing Mahjong Parlor as usual to give our boss acupuncture.
During the casual conversation, the boss showed great interest in the gangs in mainland China and asked about two things: one was that Chen Daozai was imprisoned in Shenyang, and the other was that last year, when Brother Long held a concert in Beijing, he was slapped by Zhang Shuotian.
The latter question particularly intrigued the big boss. After asking it, he added, "Are the gangs in mainland China really that powerful?"
"Brother Fa, there are no gangs in mainland China!" I said.
Big Boss Fa has been in the underworld for over thirty years, from being the boss to now being in charge behind the scenes. He's seen it all, so how could he not know what the situation is like in mainland China?
He doesn't understand, but doesn't his powerful backer understand?
You should know that his mentor, the Immortal Jin, is currently in Pengcheng.
The real leader of Shui Fong is not Boss Fat, but the amazing Kam who came out of To Kwa Wan and single-handedly brought Shui Fong to its current position.
When Shenxian Jin stepped down and Da Lao Fa took over as the new leader, there was opposition from some people.
"I've said my piece, Immortal Brocade. Who agrees and who disagrees, let's push the big boss to the top."
Does this line sound familiar? It's from a movie!
But this is a true story that happened in 93 when the Water Room Master was nominated. At that time, an uncle-like person spoke up to object, but was slapped aside by Shenxian Jin.
These are not rumors; they were told to us by Fourth Wife.
Last night we talked to Fourth Wife about sending acupuncture to the big boss. Fourth Wife pointed out that the real emperor of the Water Chamber is Shenxian Jin, and also told some anecdotes about the Water Chamber.
After saying all this, Fourth Aunt and we pleaded for Rong-ge's life.
Rong Ge wanted to harm me and Fatty Lin, but Long Nier used a curse on us. Although the curse was eventually lifted, the damage remained.
Fourth Aunt begged me to prescribe a remedy for Rong Ge.
He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to do so; he who eats a meal is bound to be obligated to do so.
During this period, Fourth Aunt has given us many red envelopes, and I did not refuse her request.
Out of curiosity, I asked Fourth Sister why she was helping Brother Rong.
Fourth Wife said that the pressure from the second wife was too great for her back then, and she was about to collapse. So the gambling king found Brother Rong and asked him to protect her.
Fourth Wife said that Second Wife really wanted to kill her back then. She didn't know if the knife-wielder could have killed her on two occasions if it weren't for Brother Rong, but she would definitely have been disfigured.
It was because of this experience that Fourth Sister and Brother Rong had a very good relationship.
After explaining the situation, I immediately worked with Long Nier to write a prescription for Brother Rong.
"If there's no gang, then what was that guy who beat up Ah Long?"
The expert's words brought me back to reality.
"Brother Fa, let me put it this way: there are no gangs in mainland China, only underlings who do things for their bosses. If the boss doesn't get into trouble, the underlings won't get into trouble either!" I said.
"In other words, life and death are all in the boss's hands!" The big boss grasped the key point.
"That's right!" I nodded.
"There are both advantages and disadvantages!"
The boss pondered for a moment and said, "Compared to them, our lives are entirely in our own hands. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. For example, this leg of mine, and the injury on my head—if it were a boss from the mainland, they wouldn't have this problem!"
After we finished talking about that, the big shot started rambling on and on, talking about the hardships he faced when he was building his empire, like how he used to kill people and take positions, and about the infighting within the gang, all of which were based on old almanacs.
He wanted to chat, so Fatty Lin and I chatted with him, talking about the various big scoundrels in our three northeastern provinces.
For example, there was Fourth Brother, who was shot for overtaking, and then there was Brother Yong, who imprisoned Chen Daozai.
After half an hour, even the big shot was stunned by what he was saying.
"Our brothers from the mainland are truly awesome. No matter how powerful we are here, no one dares to overtake the number one driver!"
After listening to my conversation with Fatty Lin, the big boss suddenly said this.
For the next few days, we would come for acupuncture every day and chat with the expert for a while.
After seven days, we almost became sworn brothers.
Even so, the big boss didn't mention Third Master once.
When I left, the big shot sent me a red envelope, just like the one he gave me on the day I arrived, containing 200,000 yuan.
After giving us the red envelopes, they also said that they would take care of us brothers in Hong Kong Island and that we should definitely contact them if we needed anything.
Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin and I began to understand.
The big boss is trying to establish a connection with us, so that if anything happens in the future, we can have someone to relay messages to.
Those gangsters on Hong Kong Island, especially those who have made their way up through the ranks with swords and guns and haven't been killed yet, are all shrewd and calculating.
The HK$400,000 not only covered medical expenses but also earned a favor.
A few days after I survived, many gangsters in Hong Kong's underworld came to me for medical treatment.
These people are mostly uncles or elders. They were fierce and competitive when they were young, but they suffer in their old age.
The person who introduced these people to me was none other than the big boss.
We were busy until the 20th when Huang Dacheng invited us again. One of his hotels was opening, and he wanted to invite the White Dragon King to attend the opening ceremony and also to check the feng shui. My brother and I were responsible for treating the White Dragon King's illness and conditioning his body.
Huang Dacheng said that the White Dragon King's health has not been very good in recent years due to revealing too many heavenly secrets. Since the two of us are best at conditioning the body, we asked them to diagnose the White Dragon King.
I've long wanted to meet the famous White Dragon King, and this is the perfect opportunity.
On the 21st, we met the White Dragon King at the airport.
Huang Dacheng was coming to pick us up at the airport, and since we also wanted to meet this renowned master from all over Hong Kong, we came along too.
"Master, these are the Master Feng, Master Lin, and Ms. Long that I told you about!"
After meeting, Huang Dacheng respectfully bowed to the White Dragon King before introducing us to him.
Greetings, fellow lay Buddhists!
The White Dragon King clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.
"Hello, Uncle Nan!"
Judging from his age, the White Dragon King wasn't much younger than my grandfather. We discussed how to address him before we arrived, and finally decided to call him Uncle Nan.
This way of addressing someone is both intimate and respectful, just right.
"Chirp!"
To my surprise, right after we finished greeting each other, Xiao Ba popped out and called out to the White Dragon King as well.
"And there's one more young friend!"
Upon seeing Xiao Ba, the White Dragon King smiled and said, "Friendly young friend!"
"Chirp!"
Xiao Ba nodded in a seemingly serious manner, looking at the White Dragon King with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Master, everything's ready at home. Shall we get in the car?"
Huang Dacheng looked at us and said softly.
"good!"
The White Dragon King nodded.
The car that picked us up was a stretched Lincoln, and we all rode in the same car.
After getting on the bus, Xiao Ba popped out again, perched on Long Nier's shoulder, and stared at the White Dragon King with his little nose wrinkled.
"Young friend, is there something wrong with me?"
Seeing Xiao Ba like this, not just me, anyone could tell something was wrong. Seeing this, the White Dragon King simply asked directly.
"Chirp chirp!"
The little dog barked twice, then reached out with its little paws and gestured.
"Xiao Ba said, Uncle Nan, you have suffered a Dao injury!" Long Nier translated.
