Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Chapter 157 Xiahou Wu

Seeing that no one in the room spoke, Lu Yongqiang pondered for a moment and said, "I do know a master whose skills should be no weaker than Dadong and Tianhong's."

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, he said with narrow eyes, "Qiangzi, are you sure his skills are not weaker than Dadong and Tianhong?"

Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "I don't know if you've heard of this, but a few years ago, a disciple from the Heyi Sect came from the north. He was very skilled and was later hired by the police as a combat instructor. During a duel, he accidentally killed his opponent and is now serving his sentence in prison.

Since this guy can be a combat instructor in the police, it is conceivable that he is definitely not weak in terms of martial arts skills. And I happen to have some connections with him. If you are willing, I can help you ask him if he is willing to participate in a boxing match.

Of course, if he is willing to participate, you will need to take care of the rest of his sentence.

In addition, you must prepare a resettlement allowance of no less than five million."

After Lu Yongheng was shot, although Li Jie found more than a dozen comrades to serve as bodyguards for Lu Yongqiang and others, these people also said when they came that they might leave at any time.

Since the other party said so, Lu Yongqiang naturally had to make preparations early. He then asked Shouhou to ask around for information about masters and wanted to recruit a few subordinates.

Skinny Monkey actually found out about a lot of masters, such as the Northern Boxing King, the Northern Leg King, the Grappling King and other former boxing gym masters.

Lu Yongqiang tried to recruit them personally, but it was no use. They either looked down on him for being a gangster, or they were already doing well enough that they didn't need to follow him. There were a few who were good at fighting, and they were coaches hired by certain gangs.

After failing to recruit anyone in Hong Kong, Lu Yongqiang turned his attention to the northern country and found a few more experts.

Lu Yongqiang personally returned to China to recruit people, but it was still not going well. Either their skills did not meet Lu Yongqiang's requirements, or they were unwilling to come to Hong Kong. No matter how much money they were offered, they were unwilling to leave their hometown.

But recently, Shouhou got some information that made Lu Yongqiang feel that he should gain something this time.

The information that the skinny monkey found out was about Xiahou Wu in "A Man's Martial Arts World".

Xiahou Wu, the head of the Heyi Sect in China, came to Gangcheng to develop a few years ago. He was determined to carry forward the Heyi Sect and was planning to open a martial arts school in Gangcheng.

If you want to open a martial arts school successfully in a place, the easiest way is to challenge other schools. As long as you become famous in the local area, the martial arts school will naturally have no worries about recruiting students.

Xiahou Wu's martial arts skills were indeed good. After arriving in Gangcheng, he challenged the eight masters of Gangcheng one after another, bringing shame to the martial arts world of Gangcheng at that time. After that, he was framed and the police invited him to be a fighting instructor for the police force.

Xiahou Wu knew nothing, but he thought that being an instructor in the police force was a very good job. It would not only give him social status, but also help him promote the Heyi School.

But things did not go as he wished. Not long after he became an instructor, he accidentally killed someone during a sparring match and was sentenced.

Skinny Monkey had investigated the matter in detail and found the whole thing to be a complete conspiracy. The man who was accidentally beaten to death by Xiahou Wu had a terminal illness. According to the hospital's diagnosis, he would not live for more than three months. He deliberately provoked Xiahou Wu and died at his hands.

Xiahou Wu wanted to become famous by stepping on others, so it was understandable that others would resort to dirty tricks on him. There was actually no right or wrong in this matter, and Xiahou Wu deserved to be sent to prison.

Lu Yongqiang went to Stanley to meet Xiahou Wu and wanted to make a deal with him. He wanted to find a way to help Xiahou Wu get rid of the crime and get him out of Stanley. After Xiahou Wu got out, he would sell his life for him for a few years.

What surprised Lu Yongqiang was that Xiahou Wu did not agree to the deal. The reason was that Xiahou Wu looked down on Lu Yongqiang's identity as a gangster and felt that working for a gangster was a disgrace to his master.

Secondly, Xiahou Wu was sentenced to five years in prison for accidentally causing death. He has been in prison for more than three years now. In addition, he behaved well in prison and was given a reduction of several months. Overall, Xiahou Wu will be out of prison in about a year. With just over a year left, he naturally did not want to make a deal with Lu Yongqiang.

Seeing that Xiahou Wu refused, Lu Yongqiang began to target Xiahou Wu's junior sister.

The reason why Lu Yongqiang was thinking about Xiahou Wu's junior sister was actually for Hongsheng. Although she has no shortage of bodyguards around her now, all of her bodyguards are men, which is definitely not very convenient sometimes. If there is a female bodyguard, the situation will be much more convenient.

The reason why Lu Yongqiang brought up this matter today is that Xiahou Wu's case seems simple, but in fact it is very troublesome. It's not that Lu Yongqiang has no way to get Xiahou Wu out of Stanley, but after getting him out, he may offend many people.

Among those who plotted against Xiahou Wu in the past, some have become disheartened and switched to other careers after being defeated by Xiahou Wu, while some have become more and more powerful.

Like the Southern Boxing Champion Shark En, he is the chief instructor of Dongxing and Camel’s bodyguard.

Fang Wenxi, the quick knife, his apprentice is the bodyguard of Master Huo in Hong Kong.

Eighth-level boxing master Wu Lao had dozens of boxing gyms opened by his disciples in Hong Kong City, and many people in the martial arts world had learned boxing there. People like Dadong, Lu Yongqiang, and Duxie were also disciples of the gyms. In fact, they could also be considered Wu Lao's disciples.

Back then, Xiahou Wu relied on his skills and showed no mercy to others, offending too many people. Although the incident happened two or three years ago, it is hard to say whether people still hold a grudge against him.

Lu Yongqiang spoke at this time just to test the opinions of the old veterans like Xiyan.

In reality, Lu Yongqiang and the others were only at the bottom of the underworld at the time, so they might not have known much about Xia Houwu's affairs. However, bigwigs like Xiyan were definitely aware of the situation. If they could agree to let Xia Houwu participate in the boxing match, it would mean that Xia Houwu's past was over. Even if there were some issues that needed to be sorted out, Xiyan and the others should be able to handle them properly.

After Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Xiyan and the others remained silent for a long time. Xiyan then asked, "Qiangzi, the man you are talking about is called Xiahou Wu, right? He is indeed a top master. If he comes forward, he is sure to win.

As far as I know, Xiahou Wu came to Hong Kong City three years ago and soon after arrived in Stanley. Qiangzi, how do you know him? Are you friends with him?

After Xiyan finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang said, "This is actually a coincidence. My housekeeper, Ah Heng, was attacked a while ago. It scared me so much that I thought of finding some experts to serve as bodyguards for the people around me.

There's a woman named Shan Ying in Foshan. I heard she's quite skilled, so I thought of inviting her to come over and be my woman's bodyguard. Unexpectedly, Shan Ying is Xia Houwu's junior apprentice. It was through Shan Ying that I learned about Xia Houwu, a master in Stanley.

In fact, Lu Yongqiang met Xiahou Wu first and then went to find Shan Ying.

Shan Ying did not refuse Lu Yongqiang's invitation, but he had one condition, which was that Lu Yongqiang should find a way to get his senior brother Xiahou Wu out of prison.

Lu Yongqiang didn't stay in the Prince's nightclub for long. In less than an hour, Lu Yongqiang left with his men.

Until Lu Yongqiang left, Xiyan and the others had not yet responded to whether Xiahou Wu should participate in the boxing match.

This also made Lu Yongqiang realize that the matter of Xiahou Wu was probably very complicated. Fortunately, he did not act rashly, otherwise he would have gotten into big trouble again.

In fact, when it was confirmed that Xiahou Wu was a character in "A Man's Martial Arts", the person Lu Yongqiang wanted to recruit at first was not Xiahou Wu, but the crazy Feng Yuxiu.

After several years in prison, Xia Houwu no longer had the same decisiveness he once had. No matter how skilled he was, he was at most a bodyguard to Lu Yongqiang. But Feng Yuxiu was different. If he could subdue him, it would be like holding a deadly weapon in his hand, which could help Lu Yongqiang accomplish many things.

Lu Yongqiang asked Shouhou to find clues about Feng Yuxiu, but there was no progress. Unable to find Feng Yuxiu, Lu Yongqiang had to settle for the next best thing and went to find Xiahou Wu.

After Lu Yongqiang left the private room, the prince said, "What do you mean? Should we let Xia Houwu participate in the boxing match?"

After the prince finished speaking, Situ Haonan said, "Use it! If Xiahou Wu is sure of victory, then why shouldn't we use it?"

As Situ Haonan finished speaking, Lei Yaoyang echoed, "The situation is urgent now. Do we still need to worry about this and that? If Xiahou Wu is truly confident of winning, then my suggestion is to let him participate."

After the East Star Twin Tigers spoke, they said to the tall man from Liansheng, "Qinlonghu and Benleihu, I advise you not to rush to express your opinions on this matter. It would be best to go back and ask your leader, Luotuo, what he thinks. I heard that your East Star coach, Shark En, is one of Xiahou Wu's enemies. Are you sure you don't need to consider his reputation?"

As Gao Lao finished speaking, Situ Haonan said, "When the money was divided, the whole society shared it, but after the incident, we have to bear the consequences ourselves. At this point, my first thought is to protect myself. As for Shark En's reputation, we can talk about it after the boxing championship."

As Situ Haonan finished speaking, Ma Wangjian and Wuliang said in unison, "Qinlonghu is right. We should take care of ourselves first. As for the troubles that will come after Xiahou Wu comes out, are they bigger than the troubles we are facing now?"

There were eight people in the room, and four of them agreed to let Xiahou Wu participate in the boxing match. The others also agreed after considering it.

Xiyan said, "Since everyone agrees, I will go to Stanley tomorrow and meet Xiahou Wu first."

After Xiyan finished speaking, Situ Haonan said, "Xiyan, didn't that handsome guy Qiang say that he has some relationship with Xiahou Wu? Just let Handsome Guy Qiang handle this matter."

"Situ, since we've decided to let Xiahou Wu participate in the boxing match, there's no need to involve Qiangzi in this matter, right?" Xiyan said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, Qiangzi is no pushover, nor is he a fool. If we really involve him, if he finds any clues, he'll definitely want a share of the profits afterwards. Then, won't you, Dongxing, pay for his share?"
