Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Chapter 38 Negotiation

After Liu Xu shot down the killer with a gun and arranged for people to stop the bleeding, he asked his brothers to dismiss the customers present.

Only his own people, the fallen killer, and the lawyer Li Laifeng were left. Whether the person who called the police was a customer or the person behind the scenes, they would not know for the time being that he had sent the killer to the hospital for treatment. So the police would not know about this at this time.

However, once Danny Lee begins investigating, the killer will still be exposed to the police.

Therefore, Liu Xu felt that the method of delaying time was not reliable enough, and it would be best to let the other party give up the pursuit on their own initiative.

Therefore, after Li Laifeng finished speaking, Liu Xu agreed. Then he winked at Li Laifeng calmly. He planned to use the system's space to try to set a trap for Li Xiuxian and others, a trap that would make the other party take the initiative to compromise with him.

What he has to do next is to find ways to trick the other party into falling into his trap.

Li Laifeng understood Liu Xu's eyes and knew that Liu Xu wanted him to continue talking to Officer Li to distract him. He didn't know what Liu Xu wanted to do, but he had to do it according to his boss's order.

After the two sides resumed chatting, Liu Xu took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and placed it on the table. Then, when Li Xiuxian on the opposite side thought that Liu Xu reached under the table to find a lighter, a black pistol appeared in Liu Xu's hand. It was the gun that had just hit the killer.

Liu Xu calmly waved the gun in his hand on the table, lowered his voice and asked Li Xiuxian: "Officer Li, tell me, the gun that the reporter said I shot the man in black with was this one?"

Officer Li, who was sitting opposite Liu Xu, was stunned for a moment when he saw the pistol in Liu Xu's hand. Then his expression tensed up, and he rolled behind the sofa swiftly. He quickly took out the pistol from his waist, pointed it at Liu Xu, and said sternly: "Put down the pistol!"

The surrounding team members were stunned at first when they saw their captain's action, and then, after seeing their captain pull out his gun, they all pulled out their pistols from their waists and pointed the muzzles at Liu Xu's position.

The moment Li Xiuxian turned over, Liu Xu had already put the gun back into the space. So now he had nothing in his hands.

Even when Li Xiuxian pointed a gun at him, he was not afraid. As long as he kept his eyes on the trigger and muzzle of the gun and dodged the moment the gun was about to shoot, Liu Xu was sure that he would survive even if Li Xiuxian shot him.

As soon as he had this thought, he saw the team members brought by Li Xiuxian also pointed their guns at him, and Liu Xu broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He wanted to catch Li Xiuxian alone, but ended up catching a group of people.

Liu Xu quickly spread his hands in front of everyone, pretending to be calm, and said in a slow tone: "Lawyer Li, the police pointed guns at unarmed citizens for no reason. I don't know if I can sue them in court."

"Of course, police guns represent the citizens' trust in the police. Now that the police are pointing guns at unarmed innocent citizens, they can naturally prosecute them." Li Laifeng, who was startled by the sudden change in the atmosphere in the bar, quickly replied.

Li Xiuxian didn't care what Liu Xu said. He just stared at his hands, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the pistol in your hand just now?"

Liu Xu sneered, "Oh, Officer Li, you didn't get up too early, so you didn't get enough sleep and had hallucinations. I always have nothing in my hands, and I never had the pistol you mentioned."

Then he looked around and said, "And you guys, after confirming that I have nothing in my hands, you still don't want to put down your guns and want to shoot me?"

"Hey, someone, go get my camera from the office and take a picture of these police officers and send it to the newspaper. This is big news." Liu Xu pointed at a young man at the bar and ordered.

"When the team members led by Li Xiuxian saw that Liu Xu really went upstairs to get the camera as instructed by the other party, they all looked at the captain Li Xiuxian and waited for his instructions.

They are all police officers who have received professional training in police academies. They know how to deal with emergencies, but at this moment, facing the current situation, they are a little at a loss.

Li Xiuxian, who had calmed down by then, saw his teammates looking at him, and waved his hand, signaling them to put away their guns. Then he looked at Liu Xu and asked very bluntly: "What do you want?"

"Officer Li, your questioning style seems a bit too tough. Look at my current situation. A group of police officers are pointing guns at my head. What do you think I can think of?"

"Of course I want to sue you in court for your actions. Do you know that when I saw you pointing guns at me just now, I almost peed my pants."

Danny Lee looked around the bar and noticed an inconspicuous surveillance camera installed in the southwest corner, silently recording everything that happened in the bar.

The cameras of this era were not as high-definition as those of later generations, but they could still record the general picture.

Li Xiuxian was sure that he had just seen Liu Xu holding a pistol. He was also sure that the camera did not record the other party holding a gun!

Following the angle of the camera, he also understood why the other party just displayed the gun on the table.

If he hadn't actually seen the gun, he wouldn't have reacted so violently.

Turning around to look at his teammates who were looking at him nervously, Li Xiuxian couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

He admitted that he was careless in this action. If he was the only one at the scene, he might consider fighting the opponent to the end, but now he is accompanied by a group of teammates.

The arson attack on Yau Ma Tei Police Station has already dealt a blow to the police's credibility. If there is another news report of police pointing guns at unarmed citizens, international public opinion on Hong Kong Island will be detonated.

Therefore, once Liu Xu files a lawsuit in court, the top police officers will definitely choose to sacrifice the police officers present to calm the situation in order to give an explanation to the people of Hong Kong Island. There will be no other result. The foreigners in Hong Kong Island are so ruthless.

At that time, not only will he face severe punishment, but those team members who have followed him through life and death will also be expelled from the police force, and their careers and reputations will be ruined.

The Anti-Triad Unit is also known as O记, and its full name is the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. It is mainly responsible for investigating and combating extremely complex and serious organized and triad crimes.

In Hong Kong, triads refer to social organizations. Frequent investigations into social organization crimes have made them hated by the members of the social organizations. If these members lose the protection of their identity as police officers, they will be subjected to endless revenge by the members of the social organizations. Even their relatives will be affected.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuxian's heart was filled with heaviness and helplessness. He didn't dare to gamble the fate of his teammates with Liu Xu. Between the future of his teammates and the mission of the ghost, he chose the former.

Li Xiuxian tightened his mind and ordered the players around him, "Go wait for me outside the bar."

Hearing the captain's order, the team members' eyes flickered. Deputy Captain Zhao Li stepped forward and said firmly: "Captain, let the team members wait outside the door. I'll stay here with you."

Li Xiuxian knew that the team members were worried about their safety, so he comforted them: "Don't worry, I will be fine. You all go wait for me outside the door."

After saying this, Li Xiuxian changed his tone, raised his voice, and gave the team members an order with a serious expression: "Follow the order!"

Seeing the captain's firm attitude, the team members could only turn around and walk out the door. After the team members went out, Li Xiuxian looked at Liu Xu.

Liu Xu naturally knew what the other party meant, so he asked his younger brothers and lawyer Li Laifeng to leave and prepared to discuss with Danny Lee what he had not yet finished discussing.

"Mr. Li, it's easy for me to let bygones be bygones. You just have to promise me three things!" Liu Xu held up three fingers, looking confident. He had completely forgotten that he had just been scared to death.

Li Xiuxian didn't waste any words and just said one word: "Speak!"

"First, I hope to use your police system to help me check the information of the killer. I will arrange for someone to give you the photo of the other party this afternoon."

"Second: Although the prestige of your police force has been challenged by an unknown person, I hope you can reduce the frequency of bringing people to my place to search for ID cards. After all, we lose at least tens of thousands of dollars every time you come."

"Third: Regarding the shooting that happened in my bar in the early hours of the morning, I hope this matter can end here!"

Li Xiuxian thought for a while and nodded: "I can agree to the first and second things, but the third thing is assigned by my boss, the foreigner Hansen himself. You have to at least give me someone to give me an explanation."

"Okay, I'll hand the killer over to you two days later." Liu Xu agreed readily.

"The other party is not dead?" Danny Lee asked in surprise.

"He should not be dead. After all, I asked someone to stop the bleeding and called emergency services."

"Okay, remember what you said." After leaving these words, Inspector Li Xiuxian stood up and went back to the police station.
