Liang Lisheng sighed deeply. He didn't know what he would be like in the future.
He chugged down a bottle of water, listened to Chen Rou explain her intentions, opened the car door and got in. After a long silence, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Maybe you really can make it happen."
Looking at Chen Rou again, she said, "This is what they call playing with eagles all your life, only to have your eyes pecked out by the eagle. Those two old guys have been running rampant in Kowloon all their lives, it's time someone taught them a lesson, you understand? This is called retribution."
In his view, Chen Rou was retribution, retribution for Master Er and Master Dong.
After saying that, he stepped on the gas, and the car didn't just move; instead, all four wheels flew off the ground.
Vice Chairman Liang always reminds others to drive slowly and get home safely, but his own car is always speeding.
...
With Liang Lisheng's help, things became much easier.
Recently, Master Dong has been so worried about his granddaughter that he can't eat or sleep. Master Dong's second-in-command, Weng Hua, has some dealings with Liang Lisheng's eldest son, Liang Sihan. So Liang Lisheng instructed his eldest son to go to Kowloon and invite Weng Hua to have dim sum. At the tea table, Liang Lisheng hinted to Weng Hua that the original Chen Rou was fierce, rebellious, and disobedient. Nie Rong wanted a docile daughter-in-law, so he went to Po Lin Monastery to burn incense, and Chen Rou immediately became obedient.
Chen Rou is indeed a mystery.
Because Mei Lu deliberately suppressed her childhood experiences, there was almost nothing about her in the media.
One day she suddenly announced that she would participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, but withdrew from the competition halfway through. At that time, everyone thought she was a well-behaved girl, a quiet and obedient little girl. But who would have thought that she could pick up a Barrett rifle and start sniping?
Nie Rong was probably afraid of her gun, so he had to burn incense and pray to the Bodhisattva before she became obedient.
Needless to say, as soon as Liang Sihan left Weng Hua, he rushed back to the hall and reported to Master Dong.
In terms of style and social connections, Master Dong is comparable to Master Er, but of course he can't compare to Nie Rong. After all, Nie Rong is a legitimate businessman who owns a listed company, so no matter how much he donates or how sincere he is, the temple can't be opened just for him.
Moreover, Nie Rong is currently at Baolian Temple. Master Dong wants to go, but he doesn't want to just sneak around. He also wants the abbot to accompany him so he can properly burn incense for the Bodhisattva. Therefore, he must first give a sum of money for incense and then ask the abbot to make an appointment.
As long as the money is in place, the abbot will naturally arrange an auspicious day, time, minute, and second for him. After all, Hong Kong is a place where money has to be spent to pave both the Bridge of Helplessness and the Path to Ascension.
Unlike Master Er, who remained calm on the surface no matter how anxious he was, Master Dong never hid his anxiety.
The old man was incredibly devout, starting by eating vegetarian food the day before and then burning incense and taking a bath. The next morning, he also ate only vegetarian food, showing utmost sincerity. He then led his one-eyed son and a group of wolf-like, tiger-like henchmen who deliberately walked with their legs tucked together, straight to Po Lin Monastery.
Early in the morning, Song Yuanchao drove Chen Rou to Baolian Temple, ostensibly to visit her father-in-law.
Sitting in the car, she talked on the phone with Uncle Er the whole way.
The men that Master Er sent out have already found out that the Bamboo Union's drug trafficking gang is really big. Including thugs, captains, crew members, mules, and sales personnel from the mainland, there are more than 30 people in total.
As expected, Master Er was meticulous in his work and not easily fooled. While investigating the drug dealers, he also investigated Chen Rou's motives: "That Miss Chen Juan has a relative in mainland China named Li Xia. Rou, I have some doubts because, according to my informant, all the people involved in drugs in mainland China have the surname Li. Among them is a man named Li Gang, who is Li Xia's younger brother."
Chen Rou had long suspected that her mother's younger brother was involved in drug trafficking.
She heard that he went to sea in her past life, but she never saw him. She guessed he was killed by drug dealers.
She asked, "What kind of person is that Li Gang?"
Grandpa Er answered simply: "A mule."
But he added, "Ah Rou, this involves drug dealers. Either we don't act, or once we do..."
Chen Rou's words, spoken with such force that even the seasoned veteran, who had seen countless life and death, trembled.
She said, "We must nip this in the bud; we can't leave a single one alive. I hope they're smart enough not to bring their children on the boat."
Master Er is willing to help Chen Rou, even if it means going through fire and water, but he's afraid she might be too kind and compassionate. He doesn't care much about her, though, because the gang members are still young and if they're not completely wiped out, leaving drug dealers behind would be a disaster.
But her words put his mind at ease; a kind-hearted person wouldn't say something like that.
Moreover, I don't know how to describe her straightforward and decisive personality, but I just love it!
...
Back to Chen Rou, after arriving in Central, she still had to take a ferry to Lantau Island and then climb the mountain to enter the temple.
She deliberately arrived a little later than Master Dong. There were only five minutes between the two boats, so by the time she got on her boat, Master Dong and his pack of wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards had just begun their ascent.
Song Yuanchao felt a little embarrassed. He carried Chen Rou's handbag and the gifts in the large tote bag, walking briskly, while she, who was empty-handed, was originally climbing with long strides, but when she saw Dong Ye and his group in the distance, she suddenly turned around and coughed: "Song Zai, take out my sunglasses."
She was the one who bumped into Mr. Dong, but she didn't even greet him; she let the old man notice her first.
Upon hearing Chen Rou's voice behind them, Dong Ye and his group immediately reacted. Dong Ye, who was being supported by One-Eyed Boy and Second Master Weng Hua as they walked up, turned around, paused for a moment, shook off his supporters, and started jumping down.
Fortunately, the one-eyed man held onto Master Dong firmly, saying, "Grandpa, please slow down, please slow down."
Chen Rou strolled up leisurely, seemingly taking a leisurely walk: "What a coincidence! Master Dong is here to burn incense too?"
Song Yuanchao quickly put on his sunglasses. He's the kind of person who gets flustered even when he's lying, let alone when he's watching someone else lie. If he didn't wear sunglasses, he would be exposed.
