Every world is a new journey of rebirth.

Chapter 3: Young and Dangerous - A Better Tomorrow

The video quickly went viral.

Various comments under the video.

"Brother Chen Haonan is so handsome, I want to lick the screen."

"Sister-in-law, my dream girl!"

"Tonight, on the water in Venice, I'm in charge!"

"West of Causeway Bay, Brother Haonan is number one! Brother Haonan is number one!"

As the video gained popularity, various imitation videos also appeared.

In a scene at a roadside food stall, the gang leader smashes a beer bottle on the ground, and his henchmen follow suit, smashing their own bottles. The gang leader looks at the tattooed man across from him and says, "After six o'clock, I'm in charge here!"

On a main street, the leader, dressed in a white suit, surrounded by his underlings all in black, took a puff of his cigar and arrogantly declared, "In the entire Jingzhou City, who can rival me, Zhang Wanlin!"

The famous A-site is filled with all sorts of bizarre and addictive videos.

"Chen Haonan is the best in the world!"

"No one dares to touch Chen Haonan!"

"Chen Haonan: After 5 o'clock, I'll be in charge here!"

This video garnered over ten million views within two days.

Li Ming's portrayal of Chen Haonan is so handsome that he's adored by many older female fans.

Zhang Li is also loved by many male fans for her pure and innocent image as a middle-aged woman in a white shirt.

Although Bai Cheng has the best acting skills, he has fewer fans because his portrayal of the defeated elder brother Liang Kun is not likable.

As for Zhang You's portrayal of Fly, although there were subtitles in the video, his only memorable scene was handing two bottles of soda to his older brother and sister-in-law, and he had virtually no fans.

The number of followers on Xihe Media's account skyrocketed from a few scattered followers to millions.

Advertising companies have already contacted me through private messages on my account.

But Hou Wenjie was not in a hurry.

After all, one shouldn't behave too badly, or it will ruin one's public image.

He decided to take it easy, since he wanted to do this long-term, not just make a quick buck and leave.

Li Ming and his friends became internet sensations. But their real lives didn't change much.

After all, apart from the school having a computer lab, there isn't even an internet cafe in the town.

Hou Wenjie bought a Dongfeng S6 phone at the business hall, which was still the store's prized possession.

Hou Wenjie told the group about the video going viral, and they were all very happy, as success was just around the corner.

The boys at the ice rink and billiards room also learned the details and used it as a topic of conversation, boasting at school, in the bathroom, and at home about how they had acted in a movie and would make a lot of money in the future.

Of course, many people couldn't escape a beating from their fathers.

Hou Wenjie spent half a day writing the script for the second installment of the Young and Dangerous series, "Young and Dangerous: A Better Tomorrow." He went to the school's printing room to make several copies so that Li Ming and the others could read them and study the characters.

The next day, everyone brought clothes, trench coats, scarves, and sunglasses from home, and went to the paper money shop to buy a lot of ghost money as props, and began filming the second part.

Everyone was very enthusiastic.

It took Hou Wenjie two days to film all the shots, and then he edited them before the video was uploaded.

Liu Xing has been feeling unwell these past few days. He's lost his appetite, lost interest in playing games, and even lost interest in going to his usual foot massage parlor.

As usual, he opened Kuaiyin and watched a few young ladies. He used to think they were quite pretty, but now he felt they were too flirtatious and had too much of a sleazy vibe. They were far less pure and beautiful than the sister-in-law in the Young and Dangerous movies!

"Sigh! Other short video bloggers post at least once a day, but you haven't posted anything for three days. Do you know how I've been coping for these three days?!"

Liu Xing could never forget his sister-in-law's face after just one glance, and he became a loyal fan of the blogger Xihe Mass Media.

He plans to watch "Young and Dangerous: The Billiards Hall" again.

Just then, his phone chimed, notifying him that a blogger he followed had updated a video.

Liu Xing swiped down his phone and saw several large characters: "Young and Dangerous: The True Colors of a Hero"!

Without hesitation, Liu Xing immediately clicked play!

The story takes place outside a compound, next to a sign that reads "Causeway Bay Prison!"

Chen Haonan stood at the prison gate wearing a gray jacket and carrying a duffel bag.

A police officer standing nearby looked at him and said, "Once you're out, don't come back. Try to be a good person!"

"Yes, sir, I will be a good person!"

The scene then shifts rapidly, with Chen Haonan refusing his former underling's request to return to the martial world. He tells his underling, "I want to be a good person!"

After his release from prison, he started helping people carry cement, deliver gas, and even wash dishes in small restaurants!

Then he used the money he earned to open a small shop selling pirated DVDs.

At this moment, the scene cuts to a group of people arriving at his shop entrance, with the blond-haired leader saying, "Boss, it's time to pay this month's protection fee!"

Chen Haonan stubbed out his cigarette and frowned. "Protection fees? I don't remember there being any before. This isn't a video arcade, and I don't need anyone to guard it."

The blond-haired man grinned and said, "Boss, times have changed. Now every household has to pay protection money. If you don't pay, I won't be responsible if someone smashes up your stall!"

At this point, the subtitles begin to introduce Huang Mao, also known as Crow, as the top general under Camel, the leader of the Dongxing Gang, and a ruthless individual.

Crow's words were arrogant and clearly a threat to Chen Haonan.

At this moment, Chen Haonan's former underling, Wu Ying, appeared with a group of his followers.

"You damn crow, just seeing that tuft of feathers on your head makes me sick. Get the hell away from me, and don't let me see you in front of this shop!"

The crow was clearly wary of the fly, smacking its lips a few times. "So it's Brother Fly from Hung Hing! My apologies... I'm leaving now, Brother Fly, you're not someone I can afford to mess with!"

As he said this, Crow gave Chen Haonan a sinister look before leaving with his henchmen.

Watching the crow fly away, the fly looked at Chen Haonan and said, "Brother Haonan, I'll say it again: as long as you plant the flag, I'll come back to you!"

Times have changed. These days, some gangsters don't care about loyalty anymore; they'll do anything! Your business isn't that easy to run!

Seeing this, Liu Xing knew that the plot had reached a turning point. Recalling the sinister look in Crow's eyes when he left, Liu Xing knew that something bad was about to happen.

Sure enough, the next scene shows the CD store burning down!

The fire was eventually extinguished, but the walls of the CD shop were burned black!

Chen Haonan walked into the store and lit a cigarette.

The sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating half of Chen Haonan's face.

In the eyes of the audience, it is as if half of his body is in the light and the other half is in the darkness!

Then his former underlings, Fly, Chicken, and Ah Xiao, appeared one by one, blocking out all the light.

Chen Haonan disappeared back into the darkness.

The scene shifts to Chen Haonan, dressed in a white suit, leading a group of henchmen including Fly to the prison gate.

They came to welcome a man who was released from prison; this man was nicknamed "The Painter."

Liu Xing recognized the painter as the actor who played Liang Kun in "Billiard Room Storm"!

The same police officer who once told Chen Haonan, "You must be a good person," still stands at the prison gate.

This time, the police officer didn't speak, but only sighed.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xing felt a strange sense of unease, for reasons he didn't understand.

Coupled with the previous shots of Chen Haonan completely disappearing into darkness, he knew that some things were beyond redemption.
