Chapter 137 Black Tiger Gang Leader
Chapter 137 Black Tiger Gang Leader
Speaking of Fu Jingchi, this person is also quite legendary.
Fu Jingchi is an orphan who was abandoned at the door of an orphanage by his biological parents shortly after he was born. He grew up in the orphanage.
The orphanage at that time was not as good as it is now. The resources were limited, and they grew up in an environment where the strong preyed on the weak. The food in the orphanage was very poor. Every day, they had only cabbage and tofu. The food was only improved during the New Year or when someone came to visit. The attitude of the teachers and aunts was also very bad. They either beat or scolded them. Fu Jingchi had a stubborn temper since he was a child, and he had many conflicts with the teachers and aunts who took care of him.
Fu Jingchi has been arrogant since childhood. Many people wanted to adopt him because of his delicate appearance, but they found that he had a perverse personality and failed again and again. Fu Jingchi was dismissive of this. Since his biological parents didn't want him, he didn't want to be someone else's son.
Fu Jingchi thinks that one can live a good life alone.
Later, when he was 11 or 12 years old, Fu Jingchi could no longer tolerate the orphanage's rules and regulations, and the strange looks, deliberate torture and harshness from the orphanage staff. One day, he saw someone sneak into the orphanage director's office and stuffed him with a big red envelope. Fu Jingchi got an idea, and that night, he pried open the drawer of the orphanage director's office, took out the thick red envelope, and climbed over the wall to leave the orphanage.
With money, Fu Jingchi's life as a wanderer was not so miserable. He rented an old house that could barely accommodate one person, and then began to look for a job.
However, he was too young to find a job. After a while, he didn't find a decent job, but met a lot of gangsters. With his innate courage, he soon became the gang leader.
Otherwise, it is said that Fu Jingchi might be destined to be unlucky. When he was 14 years old, he saved Lu Mingtang, the leader of the Hong Kong Black Tiger Gang by chance and joined the Black Tiger Gang ever since.
Looking back on that time, it was quite thrilling.
At that time, Fu Jingchi was just getting annoyed by Li Yunze, the clingy guy. While Li Yunze was not paying attention, he rode his bicycle to the dock alone to take a nap.
He was awakened by the sound of gunfire and wailing in his half-drowsy sleep. When he opened his eyes and looked outside, he saw a hail of bullets outside, as if two factions were fighting.
Fearing that the fire at the city gate would affect innocent people, Fu Jingchi immediately retracted his head and dared to stick his eyes out of the hole to check. Outside, it was like a hail of bullets and blood flying everywhere. Fu Jingchi was just a small street thug, and he had been made into a shady person by Li Yunze over the years. He had only fought a few small fights, and had never seen such a real scene.
If it were someone else, they would have been scared out of their wits and ran away, but Fu Jingchi didn't. He listened to the gunshots and shouts, the sharp knives stabbing into his body, the wailing sounds of the knives cutting into his bones, and he actually felt a little excited. His blood was boiling, clamoring, and surging. He just wanted to pick up a knife and rush up to fight.
When he blinked again, Fu Jingchi saw several people protecting a tall, thin and fair man who was running towards him. The man being protected was probably injured, with one hand covering his stomach and his face was pale.
Fu Jingchi recognized the tall, thin and fair man as Lu Mingtang, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.
The Black Tiger Gang is the largest gang in Hong Kong, and Lu Mingtang is well-known. Fu Jingchi also met Lu Mingtang by chance through another gangster. Although he only watched from afar, he admired the gang leader's demeanor.
If I could join the Black Tiger Gang, then...
After making a calculation in his mind, Fu Jingchi seemed to be energized by chicken blood. He hunched his back like a hunting black tiger, just waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
The fight was very stalemate. It was obvious that the other side had more people and more power. Although the people protecting Lu Mingtang were all top-notch masters and had been trying their best to protect him, they were eventually dispersed during the fight, and slowly, Lu Mingtang was left alone.
Lu Mingtang, who was left alone, ran forward holding his stomach. He was obviously in a mess and at a disadvantage, but he did not panic while escaping. Although his fair face was slightly frowned because of the pain, the look in his eyes was extremely calm.
Seeing someone behind him pointing a gun at Lu Mingtang's head, Fu Jingchi became anxious and shouted, "Get down!"
Although he didn't know who it was, Lu Mingtang had a hunch that it was not someone who wanted to harm him. As soon as he heard the command, he lay down.
Bullets flew past where he had just stood. When he looked up again, Lu Mingtang saw a half-grown boy crawling out of a rotten boat. Without saying a word, he grabbed him and ran away.
The bullets chased after him, but they were not faster than the boy who was running for his life.
Fu Jingchi couldn't remember how many bullets grazed their feet and passed by them. It was not until they turned the corner that the "rustling" sound faded away.
Running to a bicycle, Fu Jingchi pushed Lu Mingtang onto the back seat, pushed hard with his feet, and the bicycle flew forward.
This bicycle was given to him by Li Yunze, who said that he had too many bicycles at home and couldn't put them all in, so he kept it with him. This was of course a lie, but Li Yunze lied so many times that Fu Jingchi was too lazy to expose him.
Fu Jingchi was glad that he didn't walk here today, and was also glad that the bicycle was parked not far away, which made it convenient for him to escape. The teenage boy never knew what tiredness felt like, and he had endless energy in his body, and he actually pedaled the bicycle faster than the car.
Lu Mingtang never thought that he would be rescued by a young boy one day, and he actually escaped on a bicycle. If others knew about this, he would be so embarrassed that he would be buried with his family.
However, it was not only him who did not expect this, but others did not expect this either. When the second-in-command was searching the docks for someone to kill Lu Mingtang, he had no idea that Fu Jingchi had already taken Lu Mingtang away and escaped through all sorts of small roads that cars could not enter.
When Fu Jingchi brought the blood-covered Lu Mingtang home, Li Yunze, who was staying at his house, was so frightened that he lost his grip on the apple in his hand and it fell to the ground with a thud.
However, Li Yunze was a worldly-wise kid after all. When Fu Jingchi turned around to look for a doctor, it was Li Yunze who fed Lu Mingtang the first sip of water. The precious young master even wrung out a towel to wipe his body. However, that was a story for later.
Lu Mingtang was taken back by his gang members the next day. Two months later, Fu Jingchi was adopted as Lu Mingtang's son.
Being someone else’s son is not okay, but being Lu Mingtang’s son doesn’t seem so bad.
When Li Yunze heard that Fu Jingchi had acknowledged Lu Mingtang as his godfather, he couldn't help but spurted out the Coca-Cola in his mouth.
Fu Jingchi was wiping the table while disdaining him for wasting food. Such precious food was sprayed without any hesitation.
But it's no wonder that Li Yunze made a fuss. Fu Jingchi was already 14 years old at the time, while Lu Mingtang was just in his early s. With such an age difference, adopting him as his son meant that Lu Mingtang got a lucky son.
Li Yunze was worried that Fu Jingchi would learn bad things after joining the gang, but he didn't expect that the first thing Fu Jingchi did after joining the gang was to practice calligraphy and arithmetic.
Not to mention Li Yunze, even Fu Jingchi himself couldn't figure it out. He joined the gang to become a gang boss, so why did he go to school?
Lu Mingtang complained that Fu Jingchi's handwriting was not good-looking and forced him to practice again. Then he complained that his math was messed up and wanted to find a teacher to teach him again.
Fu Jingchi temporarily suspected that he was not joining a gang, but a charity.
Later, Fu Jingchi found out that although Lu Mingtang was a gang leader, he was not an ignorant and reckless man. His family was a scholarly family. He was desperate because of the injustice of the world and that the right way was not working, so he changed his path.
The last time he was injured was because he was betrayed by the second-in-command of the gang. Some people couldn't stand his soft-heartedness and stopping others from making a fortune, so they joined forces with outside gangs and wanted to kill him and take over the gang.
Lu Mingtang always told him earnestly that to be the leader of a gang, one must have a vision, foresight and culture, otherwise, he would not know how much money he would make in the future and would not know when he was cheated.
Fu Jingchi's calligraphy was taught by Lu Mingtang, and the principles of being a human being were also taught by Lu Mingtang through words and deeds.
Even after he became an adult, Fu Jingchi still felt deeply moved when he looked back. The truth that "Don't do things to the extreme, always leave room for maneuver" was actually taught to him by a gangster boss.
When Fu Jingchi rescued Lu Mingtang, he had some utilitarian motives, but since he was adopted as his son, the two of them spent time together day and night, and unexpectedly developed a family relationship.
He would teach him calligraphy, buy him clothes, mend his shoes, punish him by slapping his hands if he was lazy in reciting, scold him for being useless when he lost a fight, but personally healed his wounds. He would take him to see movies, but also tell him that everything should be done in moderation.
He is not my biological father, but he is better than my biological father.
With Fu Jingchi joining the gang, Lu Mingtang became even more powerful.
Fu Jingchi had a more accurate eye for people than him, was more ruthless than him, and set the rules of the gang more strictly than him. Lu Mingtang often had a feeling that this kid seemed to be born for the gang.
So, just after Fu Jingchi’s 25th birthday, Lu Mingtang promoted him to the second in command of the gang. Most of the gang affairs were handed over to him, while he went to take care of the flowers and plants.
……
After listening to Li Mubai's introduction, Jiang Li's mouth opened into a big circle.
Oh my god, this story is even more exciting than listening to a book!
If this were made into a movie, I wonder how popular it would be.
But…making a movie out of gangster history might be a little sensitive.
"What about your uncle? How did your uncle know him?"
"My uncle said that he saved Uncle Chi back then..."
"Your uncle is a habitual liar. Can you believe what he says?"
Jiang Li looked up and realized that Fu Jingchi had walked near them without her noticing. The glass in his hand was empty. He must have come over to refill the wine, so he heard their conversation.
Jiang Li didn't dare to answer, but Li Mubai followed up and asked, "Isn't it? Then how did my uncle become friends with Uncle Chi back then?"
Fu Jingchi lazily placed his hands on the bar, picked up the red wine bottle and poured himself half a glass. After shaking it, he said, "Your uncle is just too proud and never tells the truth. In fact, the first time we met was because..."
"I robbed him."
