Chapter 101: Fighting in the boxing ring
The tea room’s secret compartment led to a narrow path that connected directly to the hotel’s back door.
Hei Shi effortlessly dragged four or five black cloth bags along the stone-paved road. The bottoms of the bags were thick, so even after much friction, only a few white scuff marks appeared.
"Where is this! Who tied us up?"
Perhaps the swift pace awakened the person inside one of the bags. They struggled a bit and spoke the Hong Kong Island dialect with a strange, non-native accent.
"Who is it!"
Hei Shi paused, his voice slightly cold as he ordered, "Shut up."
The person inside the bag fell silent for two seconds, seemingly recognizing his voice. Then, gritting their teeth, they asked, "Number 1028, where are you taking us?"
Hearing the familiar code name, Hei Shi felt the bulging muscles on his shoulders quiver; he wanted to punch the person inside to death.
"The Underground City."
The person in the bag began to panic again. "Have you made a mistake? Why are you taking me to the Underground City? I clearly haven’t done anything! Let me go, please let me go!"
Hei Shi, however, delivered his judgment with grim finality. "It’s too late to say you haven’t done anything. You’ve been watched since the moment you set foot on Hong Kong Island. You bunch of fools. The boss made a special trip from the Underground City just to capture you; you should feel honored. Once you’re back in the Underground City, you’ll be given a chance to contact your people from the X organization. Remember to tell them that getting close to the Xu Family of Hong Kong Island is a dead end. Behave yourselves, or I might just kill you right now."
This scene happened in complete secrecy, unknown to anyone else.
