Let's start with Chen Rou.
She wanted to talk to Song Yuanchao about Master Dong that night, and Song Yuanchao had gone to the shooting range after dropping off Nie Han. He didn't get back until 10:30. So the two of them agreed to meet in the wine cellar in the basement to talk about things, specifically the situation in Kowloon.
As the saying goes, soldiers are human too; they have emotions and desires, and they can feel sadness and grief.
But when he was with Chen Rou, Song Yuanchao felt an indescribable sense of comfort and warmth.
Hong Kong is hot, so she wears shorts during the day. Her legs are straight, long, and beautiful, but she looks very healthy and energetic. When she goes back inside, the air conditioning is strong, so she wears long shirts and trousers. Let's just say that even if it's just the two of them in the wine cellar, he has no dirty thoughts, and the bodyguards and servants won't think or talk nonsense.
As for Master Dong, he actually called the military to ask his superiors. It is said that Master Dong's ancestral home is in mainland China. His ancestors moved to Hong Kong during the Eight-Nation Alliance era. Most of the gangsters under his command are also from mainland China. In recent years, almost all mainlanders who have illegally crossed into Hong Kong have worked for him. He has a particularly fiery temper and will beat people up at the slightest disagreement, but he is also fair in rewarding and punishing. If there are thieves or criminals in his territory, he will immediately drive them away as soon as it is verified.
The New Territories, which are relatively close to the mainland, fall within his sphere of influence. He also pays close attention to news from the mainland. It's impossible for him to give food to those serious criminals who have escaped from the mainland; he will only order his henchmen to tie them up and throw them back to the mainland.
So even though the ports are separate and the two places have no diplomatic relations, the mainland public security authorities have a very high opinion of Mr. Dong.
There's another point that Song Yuanchao can't say directly: before 1949, the large quantities of life-saving cotton yarn, penicillin, and morphine that the South China Sea troops received were all delivered by Dong Ye despite the British blockade and surveillance. Although it was just a transaction, he didn't hoard the goods to sell at high prices; it was especially rare that he could sell them at market prices.
So, as I said before, being able to remain a powerful figure in Kowloon for half a century and still stand strong is a true testament to loyalty.
...
Chen Rou opened a can of beer for Song Yuanchao, while she drank boiled water.
She opened her glass, took a sip of water, and asked, "What are Master Er and Master Dong's attitudes toward that child?"
What Song Yuanchao said was actually her own guess.
He began, "Although both big shots kept quiet, the place where I was doing odd jobs was a Shanghai restaurant that Boss Dong frequented. I saw him looking radiant; I heard he's been giving out more tips than usual these past few days."
He added, "I've never met you, but I heard that you've been inviting a Taoist master to visit you every day for the past few days."
As you can imagine, the two big shots were originally heartbroken, but suddenly a spark of hope appeared, just like the parents of abducted children. Regardless of whether the news was confirmed, a raging fire had been ignited in their hearts, making them restless.
If Yu Zhengrong isn't eliminated soon, even if she can protect Nie Zhao, Kowloon will be plunged into bloodshed and slaughter.
Chen Rou changed the subject: "You talked to Ahui and Afa, right? Did you have any insights into Jeet Kune Do?"
They were sitting at the bar in the middle of the wine cellar. Song Yuanchao had already finished his beer and crushed the can, then suddenly threw it at her. But just as Chen Rou turned her head, Song Yuanchao twisted his toe and hooked her chair. As she tilted her head, she leaned back and grabbed the flying beer can with her right hand, but by then she was already falling over with the chair.
She swung the beer can with her backhand, and due to inertia, her foot flew high into the air. She braced herself with one hand on the ground to maintain the tilted position of the chair, and her flying leg spun in the air, her heel heading straight for Song Yuanchao's nose.
The jar flew so fast that Song Yuanchao had to lean back to catch it.
But just as he grabbed the jar, and saw Chen Rou's heel coming towards his nose, he also leaned back, and at the same time, he kicked out with one foot, kicking the stool that Chen Rou was sitting on, which was only supported by two chair legs.
He was strong, and the stool flew off with a bang. Chen Rou's bottom lost its support, so she had to hook her foot around Song Yuanchao's chair leg and pull her chair, which was about to smash into the wall and break the glass cabinet.
As she pulled the chair back, she also stood up again, but Song Yuanchao was still on the chair, his bottom still firmly in place.
However, when Chen Rou stood up, he stood up as well, smiling and saying, "You flatter me, Miss Chen."
Chen Rou glanced at the mobile phone on the table. It was already 10:45. She grabbed the phone and said, "Jeet Quan is different from our traditional Sanda. It's not about making friends through martial arts or comparing strength. It's about killing with one move. If you can't win, you die. Sanda only injures people, but Jeet Quan kills them!"
"I've learned a lot. How about we spar a bit more?" Song Yuanchao said.
Chen Rou smiled and said, "Mr. Nie will be back soon, I should go upstairs now."
“I’m not on duty tonight. Kuang bought me a set of Bruce Lee movies. I’ll watch them when I get home,” Song Yuanchao said.
The two chatted as they left the wine cellar. Just as they came out, they saw Nie Zhao hurrying down the stairs.
Song Yuanchao stood at attention: "Good morning, boss."
Chen Rou also found it strange and looked at the cell phone: "Didn't you not come back until 11 o'clock?"
Nie Zhao had arranged to meet his wife at 11 o'clock, but he had been running around all day and smelled terrible. Of course, he needed to take a shower and wash his face before changing into his pajamas. So he had been back for five minutes. In order to find his wife, he had not only run up and down the stairs, but also around the doghouse. But he said, "The car was fast, so I came back a little early."
He then deliberately added, "I just came in myself."
He looked at Song Yuanchao with a cryptic gaze, sniffing lightly: "Song, have you been drinking?"
Seeing his X-ray-like gaze, Chen Rou quickly said, "Brother Song, you should go back and rest."
