Someone knocked on the car window. Chen Rou rolled down the window and saw a timid little girl with bright eyes. She was holding a bouquet of roses and handed one to Chen Rou in, saying sweetly, "Sister, buy a rose."
Chen Rou had the money Nie Han had given her, all fifty Hong Kong dollars. She gave one bill to the little girl, took the flowers, and said, "Thank you, baby!"
The girl knocked on the luxury car window to earn more money, but she didn't expect to get fifty Hong Kong dollars in one go. Before she could even say thank you, a large group of dirty children rushed in, holding flowers: "Miss, buy a bouquet of flowers! Miss, buy mine! Miss, oh my god, help me, please buy my bouquet!"
In an instant, Chen Rou's front was filled with flowers, and dirty little hands were vying to reach out and pound on her.
"Fuck your mother, get the hell out of here!" Liang Lisheng roared as he honked the horn, then stepped on the gas and drove away.
Chen Rou turned around and saw the little girl who had given her the flowers being pushed and shoved by other children, falling into a mud puddle on the ground. She was crying loudly, and a group of boys carrying baseball bats were fighting over the fifty dollars. One of them even pulled out a dagger.
In the blink of an eye, a group of teenagers started fighting, with shoes and clothes flying everywhere.
Song Yuanchao got angry when he saw this: "Vice Chairman Liang, there's a fight going on. People could die. Stop the car right now."
Leung Lee-sang floored the accelerator, the car speeding away, and retorted, "When in Kowloon doesn't someone die every day!"
Song Yuanchao's voice changed: "Is there any rule of law here? Is there any justice? Where are the Hong Kong police? Have they all gone to film TV dramas, like 'Police Story'? Why aren't they doing anything about those kids fighting in the streets?"
In principle, Kowloon is a lawless area, and being an international refugee resettlement site, its security is even worse.
However, justice will prevail no matter where there is no rule of law.
Where there is evil, there is also good; good and evil coexist.
Seeing that Chen Rou also looked sullen, Liang Lisheng drove silently for a while, then pointed to a large, densely packed residential area outside the window and said, "See this? This is Lord Er's territory of Zhongyi Hall. Not bad, right?"
Although Chen Rou knew that the chaos in Kowloon was not something one person could resolve, and that the little flower girl couldn't be saved with just fifty dollars, she still felt powerless and sad, filled with resentment but with nowhere to vent it.
As Liang Lisheng reminded her to turn around, she saw that under the setting sun, the street was lined with small restaurants, some selling steamed buns, some selling ribs, and others hanging roast ducks and roast geese. Several little girls were gathered together making shumai, and an old lady was sitting in front of a shop peeling sweet potatoes. There was also a group of gangsters with brightly colored hair carrying large bags and riding tricycles.
This place does seem much more harmonious; at least the gangsters aren't carrying baseball bats, they're carrying sandbags.
"Whose territory is this, Master Er? Are you a big shot too?" she asked.
Liang Lisheng said, "Your father is old now. Back in the day, he swept through Kowloon with his two big swords, showing no regard for anyone. Only... our Chairman Han could get a little face from him. He's not just a big shot, but also a big landowner."
He gestured with his hand to describe him, saying, "He's the landlord of this area; all the land belongs to him. He's incredibly rich."
Even among the big shots in the underworld, there are good and bad; that's human nature.
Master Er, the head of the Loyalty Hall, is generally considered a kind person.
It is said that in his jurisdiction, gangsters are not allowed to kill people indiscriminately, nor are they allowed to bully the elderly or children.
Okay, Chen Rou and Song Yuanchao have made a lasting impression on another big shot.
In addition, there is one last big shot, surnamed Dong, known as Master Dong.
Chen Rou thought that since she had already seen Master Er's territory, it was time to go see Master Dong's.
But Liang Lisheng turned around and said, "This street we're on is Master Er's territory, so we can't go to Master Dong's territory. Their dogs will get slapped if they run around their territory, so let's not go looking for trouble."
Song Yuanchao has a pretty good understanding: "They are mortal enemies, and their businesses don't even overlap."
Liang Lisheng nodded: "The rats and cockroaches in those two families are sworn enemies."
Alright, Master Dong, Master Er, since the territories under your jurisdiction are relatively stable, Chen Rou can leave them alone for now.
Liang Lisheng then asked, "By the way, Third Aunt, what was the name of that gun you wanted again?"
Song Yuanchao had already written it down, tore off a piece of paper and handed it over. It read: Barrett M82A1.
Liang Lisheng raised an eyebrow: "New guns, huh? I'm afraid they'll be hard to find."
This rifle has only recently been introduced in Europe and America, and by the time Chen Rou entered service, it was still one of the most advanced sniper rifles.
Let's use it against those who want to kill Nie Zhao.
The chaos in Kowloon was not caused by any one person, but since Master Dong and Master Er were able to stabilize their areas, it proved that Gui Tou Rong and Xiang Tian Ge could do the same. However, as local bigwigs, they not only failed to maintain the stability of their jurisdictions, but also colluded with Yu Zheng Rong to try to kill Nie Zhao. So, sorry, people like them will be escorted back to China to be eaten peanuts after the handover. Chen Rou was just sending them to eat that peanut in advance, sending them to heaven.
Who told Kowloon to be devoid of law these days, where only the strong and the weak reign supreme?
...
The Nie family mansion is located in the famous Repulse Bay, and consists of two parallel courtyards, one new and one old.
The old house was a property that Han Yuzhu bought herself while she was alive, and the new house was bought by Nie Rong for Mei Lu later. Logically, Mei Lu should have moved into the new house, but because Nie Rong often stayed in the old house, Mei Lu also lived in the old house.
Ah Han had never done housework before, but after Mei Lu suddenly left, she was forced into it. Uncle Ming arranged for a middle-aged female housekeeper named Sister Chang to help her with the housework.
Chen Rou always stays at the Nie family's house during her holidays. They have guest rooms there, and she and Ahan happen to be neighbors.
