Chapter 130 Little Beggar

On the streets of Kowloon, prosperity and desolation coexist. In the bustling crowd, a middle-aged man with half his face covered, holding a candied haws, slowly approached a group of beggars with a grim smile on his face. They were ragged and had alert eyes, but they could not hide their inner curiosity.

The middle-aged man approached and handed the candied haws to the leading beggar, with a sly look in his eyes: "Children, I'll give you candied haws, but you have to do me a favor."

The little beggars looked at each other. The leading beggar hesitated for a moment, took the candied haws, and asked cautiously: "Who are you? Why do you need our help?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, a hint of pride flashing across his face: "I'm a businessman, and I have a small matter that I would like to ask you for help. If you just do as I tell you, the candied haws will be yours."

The little beggars were delighted when they heard this. The little beggar took a bite of the candied haws and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Okay, we'll do it. You tell me, what do you want us to do?"

The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, approached the little beggars, and whispered his plan.

As the sun was setting, a group of young beggars gathered in a corner, listening to the middle-aged man's plan with surprised and puzzled expressions on their faces. The leading young beggar frowned, thought for a moment, and asked: "The place you mentioned requires us to climb over the city wall, which is not proper."

The middle-aged man smiled, with a sinister look in his eyes: "I know, that's why I came to you. You little beggars are homeless, so what if it's not right? As long as you help me this time, I will give you a sum of money, enough for you to live a life without worries about food and clothing."

A hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the little beggars. The leading little beggar gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, we promise you."

That evening, the young beggars followed the middle-aged man to the foot of the city wall. The man took out a key from his arms and handed it to the leading young beggar: "This is the key to the city wall. After you climb over, open the door and I will come over."

The leading beggar took the key and led the other beggars over the wall with a determined look. They walked on the wall carefully, fearing to make too much noise. Finally, they arrived at the door the middle-aged man mentioned.

The little beggars opened the door, and the middle-aged man quickly appeared from the other side of the city wall and led them to a deserted courtyard. The courtyard was full of debris and looked a bit desolate.

The middle-aged man led the little beggars into the yard, pointed to a dilapidated house and said, "Wait here for me. I'll go in and get my things."

The little beggars nodded and sat in the yard waiting. The leading little beggar looked at the middle-aged man's back and couldn't help wondering: Who is this person? Why does he want us to do this?

Soon, the middle-aged man came out with a shabby box that looked heavy. He opened the box and found a pile of gold and silver inside, sparkling.

The little beggars stared with wide eyes. The leading little beggar asked excitedly: "Are these all for us?"

The middle-aged man nodded, with a hint of pride in his eyes: "Yes, these are all yours. As long as you do me this favor, these riches will be yours."

The little beggars cheered and the leading little beggar asked cautiously: "What should we do then?"

The middle-aged man pointed at the jewels in the box and said, "Take these jewels to the market and sell them, and then give me the money. As long as you get the money, you can live a good life."

A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the little beggars. The leading little beggar gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, we promise you."

They followed the middle-aged man out of the yard and came to the market. The beggars carefully held the jewelry and were discovered. They were divided into several groups and sold the jewelry in different places.

On the streets of Kowloon, people are bustling around, and the little beggars are watching their surroundings warily, fearing that they will be caught. Their expressions depict their inner tension and expectation.

After some efforts, the beggars finally sold the jewelry and returned to the agreed place with the money. The middle-aged man inspected the money and nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, this money is yours."

The little beggars were overjoyed and looked at the middle-aged man with gratitude. However, they did not realize that they had fallen into an irreversible trap...

As night fell, the streets of Kowloon returned to peace. The little beggars took their money and left happily. The middle-aged man, with a satisfied smile, disappeared into the night.

As night fell, the streets of Kowloon were gradually immersed in a dim light. The little beggars tightly grasped the heavy coins in their hands, their faces filled with unprecedented joy. They chased each other and played, as if they had forgotten the hardships and worries before.

However, amidst the laughter and joy, a middle-aged man stood quietly in the corner, his eyes as sharp as a hawk. His name is Zhao Laosi, a well-known gangster leader on the streets of Kowloon and a "benefactor" in the hearts of the little beggars.

Soon, the little beggars discovered Zhao Laosi and surrounded him.

"Brother Zhao, we are back! We sold the jewelry and this is our money!" a little beggar said excitedly, with coins sparkling in his hand.

Zhao Laosi smiled slightly, but there was a subtle cunning in his eyes. He patted the little beggar on the head and said, "Very good, you are great. But let me see the money first."

The little beggars handed the money to Zhao Laosi. He took the money, counted it carefully, and nodded: "Yes, you did get a good price."

At this time, a little beggar couldn't help asking: "Brother Zhao, when can we spend this money? We haven't had a full meal for a long time."

Zhao Laosi put away the money, his eyes turned cold, and his tone became stern: "Why are you in such a hurry? This money is for you to do things, not for eating. You have to learn to be patient, and when the work is done, I will naturally share it with you."

The beggars looked a little depressed after hearing this, but they knew that they couldn't disobey Zhao Laosi's words, so they could only nod silently.

At this moment, a little beggar suddenly spoke up: "Brother Zhao, we have so much money, can you give us a little so that we can buy something to eat? We are almost starving to death."

Zhao Laosi glared at him with a somewhat unhappy expression: "You little devils are such a hassle. Okay, I'll give you some, but you can only buy the cheapest ones."

Upon hearing this, the little beggars immediately showed expressions of gratitude.

After receiving the money, the little beggars left in a hurry to look for food. Zhao Laosi stood there, watching their backs with a sneer on his face.

Zhao Laosi walked to a corner where a man in black stood. He handed the man a cloth bag containing the money he had just received.

"How's the matter going?" the man in black asked in a low voice.

Zhao Laosi smiled slightly: "Everything is going well. These little ghosts have been controlled by me and they will act according to my plan."

The man in black nodded and asked, "What about the jewelry?"
