Chapter 143 Lively Tsim Sha Tsui
He Xia stood up and walked to a floor-length mirror next to the wardrobe. The man in the mirror was slender and handsome.
"Well, this time it's not bad. It's much better than Jonathan in the Wushuang World. There is an essential gap between krypton gold and free!"
He Xia stroked his chin with his hand and looked at it carefully. The light stubble made him look slightly tough, his skin was clean, his nose was high and his eye sockets were slightly sunken. He had an oriental profile and a bit of European and American three-dimensionality.
"It's unreasonable to be more handsome than I am in the real world!"
He Xia complained and lifted up his short silk T-shirt, revealing his clearly defined abdominal muscles.
"The figure is also better than in the real world... hold the grass!"
He Xia touched his abdominal muscles speechlessly. These thirty glory points were so worth it. It would be even better if he could bring this figure back to the real world!
"With such beautiful muscles, can they increase strength and agility? No way..."
After looking in the mirror for a while, He Xia walked to the desk. There was a menu on the table and he glanced at the hotel logo.
“It turns out to be the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong Island. No wonder it’s so luxurious.”
Although He Xia had never stayed in this hotel, he had heard about it because of a jumping incident that shocked the country and the world on April 1, 2003!
He Xia thought about the memories in his mind. As an investment bank trader, he was still very rich. He had a seven-digit deposit on his bank card, which was enough for him to live freely in Hong Kong Island these days!
"You have to... you have money and you have to complete the task yourself!"
Thinking back to the Wushuang world, if he had money, he would not need to do many things personally. Now that he has money, he needs to complete every task personally, and he is also restricted from using guns. As expected, all he earns is hard-earned money...
He Xia subconsciously raised his wrist and saw a not-so-luxurious Omega watch. The time was four-thirty in the afternoon. The setting sun reflected on the sparkling sea. People were rushing on the street. It was almost the evening rush hour.
Walking to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking into the distance, you can see the cruise ships coming and going on Victoria Harbor, and the tall buildings on both sides of the harbor are like forests, which is more mesmerizing than the skyline of Beijing.
"The last time I came to Hong Kong Island was in 1995, and this time it was in 2014. In the past twenty years, it has developed rapidly and is dazzling. It is really a charming metropolis!"
In terms of world city rankings, Hong Kong Island has been among the top ten for many years and can definitely be called an international metropolis.
Looking at the fascinating high-rise buildings, He Xia thought to himself that when the wealth in the real world reaches a certain level, he should come to this world port!
After standing in front of the window and admiring the scenery of Victoria Harbor for a while, He Xia pressed the electric switch and slowly closed the curtains, which made him feel more secure!
Sitting back on the sofa, he touched his pockets, but there was still no cell phone!
"I gave you millions of dollars, but I don't have a mobile phone. Brother Portal, I really have yours..."
He Xia shook his head helplessly. He didn't want to contact anyone, he just wanted to see the date and figure out the timeline, so he picked up an Economic Daily from his desk.
According to common sense, it should be the newspaper of that day, and the date on it is September 25th!
"This time..."
The time point of the entire movie "One Man's Martial Arts" is very vague, and the date is not deliberately stated.
Through careful observation, He Xia found a total of two fragments describing the day. One was a huge poster on the wall of Tan Jingyao's art museum. On the poster was JUNE 18-JULY 3, the exhibition date from June 18 to July 3.
The second one is the day when Feng Yuxiu’s wife Shen Xue died, September 25, 2014!
Feng Yuxiu started killing his wife shortly after his death, probably in early October. However, the exhibition had not yet started when Jingyao was killed. Either Tan Jingyao's exhibition was in the second year, or there was a loophole in the movie.
"Today is the day Shen Xue dies, so Feng Yuxiu is probably about to take action..."
He Xia pinched the newspaper in his hand.
"It will take a few days for Feng Yuxiu to deal with Shen Xue's funeral affairs. The time is neither tight nor generous!"
He Xia thought in his mind that this time he must complete the main mission first. As for the mission of the Punisher, if it works, it will be fine. If it doesn't, there is no other way!
"The main mission challenges the five masters. According to the order of Feng Yuxiu's challenges in the movie, boxer Mai Rongen should be the weakest. He didn't even arrange a fight and died right after he appeared..."
"Be the first to challenge Mai Rongen!"
In the real world, both coaches Wang Zhitao and Zhou Shiliu are boxers. Facing boxers, He Xia is confident!
"For the rest... forget it, just follow Feng Yuxiu's challenge order!"
After thinking for a long time, He Xia decided to use the simplest method to challenge, also based on the martial arts mentality of practicing fists first, then legs, and then using weapons to capture.
"wrong……"
But after making the decision, He Xia discovered a serious problem!
He knew where to find Tan Jingyao, Wang Zhe opened a tattoo parlor in Mongkok, and Hong Ye was filming on the set. He could even find Shao Henian from the duty list of the terminal logistics company, but the first person to appear was Mak Rongen, who was already dead. Where he lives, he has no idea...
"Skip Macron?"
He Xia frowned and shook his head. If he skipped Mai Rongen, he would have to choose one from the weapons king and the internal master Shao Henian to challenge him, and he didn't want to touch either of them!
Hong Ye is a master of weapons, but he doesn't even know how to use weapons, and Shao Henian is an expert in the family. It's hard to predict the strength of such a person.
"By the way, I have money, so I can spend money to get information!"
He Xia snapped his fingers and suddenly realized that money was a really good thing. It was all because of the indelible memories of being a poor man left behind by the previous missions.
According to the information in the video, Mai Rongen was the boxing champion of Hong Kong and Macao in the early years, and he was also a well-known figure. He seemed to be involved with criminal gangs. It would not be too difficult to investigate from the underground!
"Let's go and get some news first!"
He Xia stood up, took out his wallet and looked at it. He had a stack of one thousand Hong Kong dollar bills on him, at least fifty or sixty thousand.
It was almost five o'clock. I had just had breakfast when I came to this world. I was not hungry yet, so I packed up and walked out of the hotel.
Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong is strategically located in the Landmark Plaza in the heart of Central.
Walking onto the street, He Xia immediately felt the surging crowds and confirmed the date again through the street TV. It was indeed September 25th!
The economy of Hong Kong Island is very prosperous, but due to limited space, the population density is very high. The land population density is more than 6,000 per square kilometer, which is among the highest in the world!
Central is the most prosperous area in Hong Kong, the commercial, financial and banking center. Many young talents from Hong Kong are honored to work in Central!
Walking on the street, He Xia was wearing a brand-name short T-shirt, a pair of casual pants, and shiny casual leather shoes. He only lacked a decent handbag. He was dressed like a typical young upstart, and people knew he was a rich man at a glance!
"The place where Feng Yuxiu beat Mai Rongen to death is on Salisbury Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. Let's go to Tsim Sha Tsui first to inquire about the situation!"
He Xia had a direction in mind, got into a taxi and drove towards Tsim Sha Tsui.
After all, He Xia still doesn't know enough about Hong Kong Island...
If you are a local, you will basically not choose a taxi when going from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui. Of course, it does not matter if you have plenty of time.
Taking the subway from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui only takes six or seven minutes, including the waiting time, which is only about ten minutes. Taking a taxi...
He Xia took a taxi from Central at 5:30. It was a total of eight kilometers and passed through the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel. When we arrived in Tsim Sha Tsui, it was already 6:30, and people almost blocked us during the evening rush hour!
"Exploration +2%, currently: 2%"
"Made, I'm faster than a car on the 11th road!"
After paying and getting out of the car, He Xia cursed. At this moment, he even missed the traffic jam in the capital...
"If you have money, you should still buy a helicopter, otherwise you will waste all your time on the road..."
He Xia raised his head and glanced at the vast sky. That is how truly rich people travel!
Central on Hong Kong Island is very lively, with many elites coming and going, and the crowds are huge, but if compared with Tsim Sha Tsui, it pales in comparison!
Tsim Sha Tsui is located at the southern tip of the peninsula, adjacent to Victoria Harbor and across the sea from Central on Hong Kong Island. It has many famous attractions.
For example, the Avenue of Stars where celebrities’ handprints gather, the pleasant Victoria Harbor, Chungking Mansions where “Chungking Express” was filmed, Kowloon Park where tourists can rest, etc. are all tourist attractions.
At the same time, Tsim Sha Tsui is also a well-known business district, with DFS Duty Free Shop, Harbor City, SOGO and other large shopping spots, as well as countless international first-line brand stores, intertwining into a heart-pounding shopping map!
Regardless of locals or foreigners, if you don't spend tens of thousands of dollars on Tsim Sha Tsui, you will feel sorry for this place!
Shops, hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs are dazzling with colorful neon lights.
He Xia stood on the street, and countless people passed by him. Men and women of all skin colors, languages from all over the world, a great fusion of people from all over the world!
It's getting late, the lights are starting to turn on, the neon lights are flashing, and there are more and more pedestrians on the street.
"Sir, there are eighty-eight pieces of eel rice. Sir, would you like to try it?"
"Japanese style udon seventy-nine servings, sir, the ingredients are enough and the soup is thick, sir!"
"Beautiful boy, there is Beigu in Tuo land..."
Walking along the street, there are many sales staff holding colorful picture boards in their hands who are enthusiastic to win over customers. The restaurants or service places where they work cannot afford to rent street-facing shops, so they are either located upstairs or in residential buildings on the street.
If there were no people standing on the street shouting and soliciting customers, there might not be a single business in a day...
This is a characteristic of Hong Kong Island. Compared with shops on the street, it is more cost-effective to rent a shop upstairs or in a back street and hire people to stand on the street to solicit customers!
He Xia rejected the beauties promoting the restaurant one by one, and took an advertising leaflet for bone massage from a beautiful woman in a nurse uniform.
"Exploration +2%, currently: 4%"
The advertising girls who had handed He Xia flyers before saw this scene and shook their hands in disgust, shouting "Dior"!
To be honest, it’s too tasteless to come here to find a massage girl who is well-dressed and handsome. KTV and high-end clubs can’t do it. Even bars are better than here!
