This is something Chen Canaan did not like to hear, wrapping his arm around Qiao Wen's thin shoulders, protecting the chicken cubs, indignantly and angrily saying, "Whoever dares to hit my Xiao Qiao, I won't spare him!"

Zhao Ah Si slapped him and tsked, "You forty-nine boys can't spare anyone, be honest with me, don't get into trouble, especially those on Fei's side, don't mess with them if there's nothing else to do."

Chen Canaan: "Brother Fei is really a bit over the top now, and the security fee is a hundred dollars. Do you still let me, the little people of the Western District, live my life?"

Zhao Ah Si bristled, "Recently, Ah Feng is not here, Master Panther has left all the big and small things to him, he is arrogant as hell." He waved his hand impatiently, "Don't talk about him, be careful of people hearing about it and spreading it to his ears, looking for trouble from us."

While the two men chatted, Jovian ran through the identities of the men.

In the original book, Chen Canaan used the police to sweep the blacks, got the Leopard Master killed, and put the Wo Hing Society in a big wash, and then smoothly rose to the top, after which he turned most of the black industries underground, and washed his hands of whitewashing - or money laundering - with the movie and entertainment industries. Because the main character in the book is Lin Zi Hui, Chen Canaan's early history of wealth is not described in detail, when he has a large number of scenes, it is already the Wo Hing Society leader.

And this Zhao A Si in front of me and the two people in the mouth of the flying brother Qin Yunfei have not appeared, should either be dead, or with the Hexing Society shuffle shuffle off. His side beloved called Jiang Yu Feng, in the book, but quite a weight, ability is great, to Lin Zi Hui has created a lot of trouble, if not because this is a cool article, Lin Zi Hui male lead aura can be day day, several times are trouble can be called a fatal crisis.

He picked up from the original body memory, the two just mentioned the wind brother, now the number two person in the Hexing Society, the current double flower red stick is called Jiang Yu Feng, should be the original book Chen Canaan later that powerful beloved.

He tickled the corners of his mouth a little.

The two are now a bottom four-nine boy, a number two figure double flower red stick, and then even identity replacement, also do not know how Chen Canaan in the end in just a few years to do so.

He didn't move to look at the youth beside him.

Honestly, I really can't see that this kid has such a wrist.

It was only a ten-minute journey to Zhao Ah Si's field.

Zhao A Si because there is no great ability, all rely on the identity of the nephew of the Leopard family to make a living, there is nothing to make money on the hand business, the two gambling stalls are not big, barely able to feed dozens of brothers under the leadership.

Although Chen Canaan has been deliberately hiding his strength, but in his Zhao Ah Si's subordinates in a crowd of rotten horsemen, but also an unquestionably the best, at least a set of Wang Bajie punch to beat away a few troublemaking gamblers no problem.

As soon as the three entered, several ponies gathered around attentively.

Zhao Ah Da waved his big hand, "No one is making trouble today, right? Ah Nan's leg is still not healed yet, you guys put your hoods up, if anyone cheats, kick them out right away."

"Understood Fourth Brother."

Zhao Ah Si let out a big yawn, "Alright, Ah Nan, you watch here, I'm going to find my old flame."

Chen Canaan laughed evilly, "Fourth brother, take it easy, be careful of your old waist."

"Bad boy, who are you calling old?" Zhao Ah Si bluffed and waved his fist at him and walked away with a smile.

Chen Canaan drove away a few small ponies next to him, "Alright, keep a close eye on them, I'll go to the rest room to rest for a while, call me if there's anything."

Those few ponies answered yes while quietly checking out Qiaowen beside him.

Most of them had seen Chen Canaan, the beautiful ah di, and knew that he was timid, thus they were very curious as to why he had come to the gambling stall today.

Qiao Wen smiled at them graciously, which made the crowd of ponies tsk-tsk even more.

Nam has changed his mind?

Qiao Wen did not care about the external gaze, followed Chen Canaan into the lounge, there is a leather sofa, behind the sofa is the blinds, open the curtains will be able to see the outside in full swing of the gambling scene.

This gambling stall, apart from being a little sketchy, was actually not much different from the serious casinos he had seen in Macau and Las Vegas before, with dice buyers, card players, and a row of sketchy slot machines.

Jovian lowered the curtains and laughed, "There really is nothing to be afraid of, I wonder why I used to think of this side as a dragon's den?"

Chen Canaan said: "Fourth brother's field is very formal, only pumping water does not do the bank, in addition to the occasional encounter out of the cheating, the brothers move their hands, the wind and waves of the ruthless, but also can not earn money. Unlike Fei's side, they own the banker, the dealer is a master swindler, who went in is like falling into the wolf's den, but his side of the chip is big, can't stop people who want to make a fortune to die."

Qiao Wen turned his head to look at him, not realizing that he, a venue watcher, had such a sober understanding of gambling, showing that he really wasn't a bad person.

The two were chatting, a small ponyboy suddenly pushed the door in, "Brother Nan, we suspect a kid of cheating, the dice guessed all the time, and the pokies kept winning, but we can't find a break."

Chen Canaan frowned, "There is such a thing?" Then he stood up and said to Qiao Wen, "Xiao Qiao, you stay in the house, I'll go take a look."

"I'm with you."

Chen Canaan: "Then stay close."

Jovian shook his head in amusement, thinking that young Jovian was indeed quite lucky to have such a caring older brother.

The two followed the ponyboy to the table where the suspected hustler was.

The suspected hustler, a young man in his mid-twenties, was playing pokies with four people, supposedly having played a few games already and winning a bunch of chips in front of him.

It's time to open the deck again this round, and when a few people show their bottom cards, it's true that he wins again.

The other gamblers were a bit disgruntled: "Is there any mistake, how to win all the time, is it cheating?"

The man will win the chips grip in front of his own, deliberately hanging a big angry blank stare: "Big brother, rice can eat more words can not talk nonsense, say people cheat have to talk about the evidence, I have a good hand today can not ah?"

Whether it was cheating or not, Joe Man was not sure, but what was certain was that the guy looked a little indebted.

A few other gamblers chortled and switched to other tables.

Seeing that no one was playing with him, the man returned to the buy-size craps table with a pile of chips in his arms.

The Dutchman sets the dice cup down after shaking the dice.

Only after the others had placed their bets did the man slowly place his chips on the buy big side.

The dice compulsion opens, three sixes.

"Eh, another win." The man joyfully cradled the chips to himself.

Chen Canaan narrowed his eyes, walked over to the lotter, took the dice compote and made a beautiful circle in his hand, his eyes fixed on the young man, and then put it down heavily, "Buy fixed."

The man glanced up at him and looked around, now betting his chips on the large side, and thoughtfully moving to the small side.

Chen Canaan frowned and opened the dice compote, inside it was clearly one, two, three.

The man curled his lips in surprise, "Oops, guessed again, such a good hand today!"

The little pony boy just now came over to Chen Canaan's ear, "Brother Nan, look!"

Chen Canaan threw the dice compote away and said in a bad mood, "What are you looking at, people just have good luck with their hands."

Qiao Wen also saw that this person was not some kind of gambling god, it was completely based on luck, and with such unbelievable shit luck, it was estimated that even Lin Zi Hui could not hope for it.

He did not move to measure the person, is a very standard-looking man, although looking at the hangman, but not the slightest bit of the town cottage temperament, clothing texture is quite sophisticated, shirt or foreign brand-name, should be outside to the rich young master.

He was wondering how such a person could come to the Kowloon Walled City gambling stall to gamble when a few people suddenly barged in aggressively at the entrance.

The leader was none other than Scar.

"Brother Scar, that's him!" The ponyboy behind him pointed towards the man who had just won.

Scar walked ferociously to the man, grabbed him by the lapel, and said viciously, "Servant Street, dare to cheat on our turf, I think you've eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall!"

The man was gripped by him, did not show fear, only a face of innocence, "Big brother, I am in a few gambling stalls today have won money, but purely good luck, you even if the triads, but open the door to do business, but also have to talk about evidence, right?"

"I said you're out, according to the rules of cheating, hand over your winnings and pay two thousand more, or don't even think about walking out of the Nine Dragons Walled City."

"Hey! Are you guys still being reasonable?"

Scar laughed: "The police are the ones who are reasonable, you have the ability to bring the police here!"

The man's face finally changed, an angry look, "You-"

"How am I?" Scar said.

Chen Canaan in the end did not look down, not slow to walk up, broke his hand from the person's collar, said, "Brother Scar, you want to have any dispute in your field to solve, run to the fourth brother here to make trouble a little not good, right?"

Scar looked at him and sneered, "Pretty Nan, whether it's Fei's or Fourth Brother's field, it all belongs to the Wo Hing Society, this man cheats, I have no problem following the rules, right?"

Chen Canaan said, "According to the rules to catch cheating, we have to talk about evidence to catch the current, this guest has changed the venue, you guys just ran over, not called rules, right?"

Scarab: "Pretty Nan, looks like you're purposely trying to go against Fei today?"

Chen Canaan pulled the corner of his mouth, "Brother Scar, if you say follow the rules, I'll follow the rules, how can I go against Brother Fei? If you want to oppose, it's also you, no matter how Fourth Brother can't compare to Brother Fei's current splendor, it's not right for you to smash the scene like this, right?"

Scar said, "You are not going to let me take the man away."

Chen Canaan smiled and said, "The guest is playing in our venue, we certainly have the responsibility to ensure his safety. This guest has also been playing in our venue for a while now, and indeed he has been winning all the time, but none of us have discovered that he has been cheating. But since you've come to us, I can't harbor an outsider. Let's do it this way, the three of us will play a game of pokies, if he still wins, the person will stay here, if he loses, you can take him away."

Scar's pair of fierce triangular eyes rolled and he nodded, "Fine, as you say."

The three of them went to the poker table, with their respective brothers standing behind them. Chen Canaan was afraid that the crowd would cause a mess and pulled Qiao Wen to stand close to him.

Scarab winked at his little brother and told him to deal the cards.

The dealer in the venue glanced towards Chen Canaan, and when he saw the other party nod, he reluctantly retreated.

The first bottom card was dealt out, neither Chen Canaan nor the gambler turned it over to look at it, but it was Scar who carefully looked at it, revealing a very proud smile, as if he was afraid of being unaware that he had taken a good card.

By the second bright card, Scar had a queen, the largest of the three, and it was up to him to bet first. He smiled and pushed out his hand of chips.

Man: "Heel."

Chen Canaan: "Heel."

All four open cards were dealt, and Scar's open card was exactly 910JQ of spades, and he was so confident that it was obvious that the bottom card was the K, which happened to be a flush, which is a very rare and good card in stud.

He looked at the man's desktop 10 JKA of hearts and laughed, "I don't believe your bottom card is the Q of hearts," he said, ruthlessly pushing all his chips forward.

Chen Canaan spread his hands, "I'm not following."

The man laughed and turned over the bottom card, and it was a queen of hearts, "Big flush, I told you I was having a good hand today, and you had to suspect me of cheating."

Scar's face changed, and he leaned over incredulously to pick up his cards and look at them, as if trying to find evidence of cheating.

Chen Canaan said, "Brother Scar, this card is proprietary to our field, and the one who dealt the card is your little brother, so it's unreasonable for you to bite the person and say cheating."

Although unbelievable, but the facts are here, Scar can't find a reason to stir up trouble, only to get up angrily, greeted the small brother beside him, "Let's go."

When the people left, Chen Canaan clapped his hands, "Everyone continue to play, our field is absolutely fair and transparent, no need to be afraid."

The man whose luck had exploded got up and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother, for relieving me."

Chen Canaan frowned at him and asked, "Are your hands enlightened?"

The man smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know what's going on, today I have a particularly good hand. My first time to play in the Walled City, the previous two gambling stalls, I played a few games feel wrong and left, I did not expect you here is quite formal."

Chen Canaan said boldly, "That's right, although our field is small, we are absolutely just and fair. Welcome to come often in the future."

The man extended his hand with a smile and said, "Definitely definitely, it's rare to meet a brother who is so refreshing, why don't we make a friend, my name is Zhou Xiaodong."

"Chen Canaan."

Chen Canaan shook hands with people mindlessly as always, while Qiao Wen could not help but furrow his brows. Although the name Zhou Xiaodong was nothing special, even comparable to a bad name, it reminded him of something.

In the original book, the main character, Lin Zi Hui, has a close friend named Zhou Ren Jun, who often goes by the alias Zhou Xiaodong. When Chen Canaan and his New Harmony Society were later dismantled and he, the leading boss, was killed by random gunfire, Zhou Renjun could be said to be a crucial link.

He remembered that the book depicted that Zhou Renjun had been injured when he was young, leaving a small scar on the corner of his forehead.

He squinted his eyes towards Zhou Xiaodong, and there was indeed a small scar at the corner of his eye.

Chow Yan Chun, Inspector, Kowloon O-Key (Anti-triad Unit).

The author has something to say:

O mark: under the Police Force, full name Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (Organized Crime and Triad Bureau). Simply put, it is the Anti-Triad Unit.

By the way Triads are triads.

Regular TVB watchers are mainly in the following sectors

CID (Criminal Investigation Department)

O-note (Organized Crime Section)

CIB (Criminal Intelligence Branch)

ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption, Hong Kong)

ATF (Anti-Terrorism Investigation Team)

SDU (Special Duties Company, SDU)

RSDS (Special Duty Squad)

NB (Drug Investigation Section)

RCU (Serious Crimes Unit)

EU (Emergency Unit)

But much of the early seventies in the text had not yet been established or was still in its infancy. it was only after the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in '74 that the whole policing system slowly became more standardized.
