Chapter 11 Love at First Sight



The woman felt a little embarrassed by Shen Dong's intense gaze, her face flushed slightly, and she quickly turned her head away.

"Ah Dong, you're here again." Grandma Li greeted him with a smile.

Shen Dong said, "I had nothing better to do, so I came to see these little ones. Granny Li, who is this beautiful lady?"

Grandma Li said, "Let me introduce you. This is my niece, Li Xinxin. She's a middle school teacher. Isn't she pretty?"

Shen Dong's heart skipped a beat. Could this be Xin Xin, the girl who had a one-night stand with Chen Haonan in the movie?

Li Xinxin was the first to extend her hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Shen."

Shen Dong snapped out of his daze, shook her hand, and said, "I'm sorry, you're so beautiful that I was slightly distracted."

Li Xinxin was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, you flatter me."

Shen Dong said, "I'm not flattering you. As the ancients said, 'A smile can topple a city, a second smile can topple a nation,' which must be referring to Miss Li."

Li Xinxin's face turned even redder, and she said, "It's not as good as you say."

Grandma Li glanced at the two of them and teased, "Ah Dong, do you like my Xin Xin?"

Shen Dong replied directly, "Yes."

Grandma Li said, "Let me tell you, the line of men who want to pursue Xin Xin could stretch from Tuen Mun to Tsim Sha Tsui. You'd better keep trying!"

Li Xinxin said reproachfully, "Auntie, what are you saying?"

Grandma Li chuckled, gave Shen Dong a wink, and said, "I'll go check the kitchen. How about you all have lunch here today?"

Shen Dong said, "Okay."

Li Xinxin nodded as well.

Just then, four men walked in.

Is this the Star Orphanage?

Granny Li said, "Yes. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The man said, "We're here to deliver a freezer."

Grandma Li said in surprise, "I didn't order..."

"Grandma Li."

Shen Dong interrupted her, saying, "These are for our orphanage; they can be used to store things in the future."

Grandma Li said, "Freezers aren't cheap. Ah Dong, you should take it home and use it yourself."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "How could a wealthy man like me not have a freezer? Mother-in-law, please accept it. It's all for the children."

Grandma Li's eyes reddened, and she said, "Ah Dong, thank you."

Shen Dong quickly said, "Please don't cry. I'm not afraid of anything, except this."

Grandma Li was amused by him.

The way Li Xinxin looked at Shen Dong was completely different now; her eyes were full of respect.

Grandma Li directed four men to place the freezer in the kitchen, much to the delight of the two chefs who were cooking.

They've wanted a freezer for a long time, but they don't have the money to buy one.

Li Xinxin asked curiously, "Mr. Shen, what do you do? You seem to be very wealthy."

Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Don't call me Mr. Shen. You're probably not as old as me. Just call me Brother Dong. That's what my underlings call me."

"Little brother."

Li Xinxin exclaimed in surprise, "Are you a mafia boss?"

Shen Dong stretched out his arms and laughed, "Doesn't it look like it?"

Li Xinxin said, "I think you're more like a teacher."

Shen Dong laughed heartily and said, "Then it seems your judgment isn't very good."

Li Xinxin said, "Since you're a triad boss, why are you doing so much for the welfare home?"

Shen Dong retorted, "Are all gang leaders bad people? Can't they do one good deed?"

Li Xinxin said, "But I've heard that those gangsters never do anything good except kill and bully people."

Shen Dong said, "You're wrong. Every group has good people and bad people. That's true for the underworld, the police, and even your teachers."

Li Xinxin said, "That's true. Brother Dong, could you tell me your story? I'm really interested."

Shen Dong said, "Do you know that a woman's curiosity about a man is the beginning of her falling for him?"

Li Xinxin said, "Didn't you say you liked me? If I fall for you, wouldn't that be a good thing for you?"

Shen Dong said, "That's true."

In the movie, Li Xinxin really hates gangsters.

Shen Dong was aware of this, but he did not hide it.

“Xin Xin, do you know? I’ve been trying to do legitimate business.”

"But once you enter the martial world, you're in it for life. I can't leave even if I want to."

"The reason I do good deeds is simply to put my mind at ease."

At this point, a hint of sadness flashed in Shen Dong's eyes.

Li Xinxin said, "Brother Dong, it's really not easy for you to get to where you are today."

Shen Dong chuckled and said, "It's good that you're alive. I now have hundreds of underlings and manage dozens of bars and KTVs. I'm incredibly powerful."

"The only thing I'm missing is a girlfriend. How about you consider me?"

Li Xinxin blushed and said, "I shouldn't have chatted with you, you're so mean."

Shen Dong said smugly, "Women don't love men who aren't a little bad."

Upon hearing this, Li Xinxin burst into laughter.

After having a meal at the welfare home, Shen Dong continued his efforts, taking Li Xinxin to see a movie and go shopping.

It wasn't until 9 p.m. that Shen Dong finally took Li Xinxin back to her school dormitory.

At this point, the two were able to hold hands.

They're just one step away from becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Wow, so many clothes. Xin Xin, are you in a relationship?" her roommate Zhao Aili exclaimed.

Li Xinxin said shyly, "No way!"

Zhao Aili said, "Still saying no? Look at your face, it's almost as red as a big apple."

Li Xinxin retorted, "Don't talk nonsense. We haven't officially started dating yet."

Zhao Aili asked curiously, "Who is he?"

Li Xinxin thought for a moment and said, "He is a handsome guy who is humorous, gentle yet domineering. I do have some feelings for him."

Zhao Aili covered her forehead and said, "It's over. The school's goddess has fallen in love. I guess a lot of teachers and students are going to be disappointed."

Li Xinxin slapped her and said, "Go to hell."

......

Shen Dong, who had just dropped Li Xinxin off at school, was about to go home to rest when he suddenly received a call from Ahua.

"Brother, someone's selling drugs at our bar."

"who?"

"He's a henchman of Mad Dog, a close associate of Guo Hua from the Triads."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong immediately recalled Guo Hua's information from his mind.

The Ni family, a triad society, is one of the biggest drug lords in Hong Kong. They have five gang leaders: Han Chen, Guo Hua, Hei Gui, Gan Di, and Wen Zheng.

The Ni family has a very large business and influence throughout Hong Kong. They have both money and manpower.

Even Han Chen's wife, Mary, could come up with 35 million in a single day, which shows just how rich they are.

Guohua's sphere of influence is mainly in the three areas of Tsuen Wan, Kwai Tsing and Sham Shui Po.

Now that Mad Dog's henchmen have suddenly come to his factory to distribute goods, it's obvious they're testing the waters.

The only problem is that we don't know whether this was at the behest of Mad Dog or Guohua.

If it's the latter, then it means that Kwok Wah wants to establish a foothold in Tuen Mun, which would be a big deal.
