Chapter 487 Settle Down First
The Big Circle Gang has no unified structure and no strict organizational structure. Simply put, all gangs other than local traditional gangs belong to the Big Circle Gang.
The provincial and Hong Kong flag soldiers and the Daquanzi all belong to the Daquan Gang, but they each have their own territory and are feared for their bravery, fighting skills and ruthlessness.
They were all desperate criminals. They had gun battles with the police on the streets and swept through local gangs. Eventually, all the police forces in Hong Kong were dispatched to wipe out the Big Circle Gang.
Because of its loose structure and the fact that it had accumulated a lot of money, it suddenly disappeared in the early 1990s and fled to Chinatowns in some countries to resume its old business.
"Come home with me first and settle down first," said Lao Cao.
"Brother Cao, this isn't suitable." Lei Zhen shook his head. "We still have some money, so finding a place to stay shouldn't be a problem."
"You were introduced by Lao Mao. It would definitely not work if it were someone else. He is a very particular person in his work, so there is nothing inappropriate about him." Lao Cao said.
Everything is for Lao Mao's face. There is no need to elaborate on the friendship between him and Cao Jianguo. Even after so many years, he can just speak up if there is anything.
"I'm sorry to trouble Brother Cao."
"Hey, it's no trouble, let's go."
After closing the shop, Lao Cao limped ahead and took Lei Zhen and the other man into an old building.
The walls were mottled and the ground was littered with garbage.
There were even used condoms thrown at the corner. I don't know who had the urge to cause trouble here. They really have no regard for the environment.
The dark and damp corridor was filled with a mixture of musty smell, cooking fumes, and even a strong smell of curry.
This is the slum area of Hong Kong Island. There are countless families living densely in one building, and three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are squeezed into one room.
But after walking into Lao Cao's house, one will feel a bright feeling.
The house is not big, but it is clean and tidy, even the quilts are neatly folded, giving people the feeling of finding a pearl in a trash can.
"My wife and the kids have gone out to set up a stall. The small bedroom inside has been cleaned up. You can live in it," said Lao Cao.
"How old is the child?" Lei Zhen asked.
"Just four years old, haha." Lao Cao laughed, "He only thought about getting married after settling down. He can't compare to Lao Mao. I heard his daughter is already 16."
"Sun Xiaomao, 16 years old."
Lei Zhen lowered his head and took out a cigarette. He felt that Lao Cao was really good at chatting. Why was he talking about Sun Xiaomao for no reason?
He didn't know how to explain to Brother Cat, and most importantly, he didn't know whether the kitten had bought medicine.
"Brother Cao, will it affect you and sister-in-law?" Shu Jin asked.
"No, you can live here without worry." Lao Cao smiled and said, "The place is a little small, but it's okay if we squeeze in. I'll ask someone to get you an ID card later, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go anywhere."
"Thanks, Brother Cao."
"You're welcome, haha."
“…”
Shu Jin went into the narrow bedroom to make the bed, while Lei Zhen and Lao Cao sat in the small living room smoking and chatting.
For Lao Cao, he really wants to know what the mainland has become like, after all, that's where his home is.
During this process, he also told Lei Zhen about the gang structure here, including the sphere of influence of each gang, the industries they are engaged in, their scale, their branches, etc.
The two chatted enthusiastically until the door opened.
This is a thin woman, carrying a big bag and holding a little girl's hand.
"sister in law."
Lei Zhen stood up and greeted him.
But the woman just smiled and didn't say anything.
"My wife is from Vietnam."
Lao Cao smiled and then said something to his wife in Vietnamese.
"Um!"
"Um!"
The woman kept nodding and obeyed Lao Cao's orders.
She put her bag down, washed her hands and went into the small kitchen to cook.
"What's your name, little one?"
"Come, uncle has a gift for you."
Lei Zhen smiled, took out a watch from his pocket and put it into the little girl's pocket.
"Brother, you can't do that!"
"This is for your personal use."
Seeing the man giving a watch to a child, Lao Cao quickly stopped him.
"Brother Cao, just consider it as a gift from my uncle to the child. Don't be polite." Lei Zhen said with a smile: "After all, I am doing well in the mainland. I still have enough money to escape."
"I said no!"
"You're driving me away?"
"You... okay, okay, just this once."
Watches, necklaces and big rings are essential for running away.
After dinner, Lei Zhen chatted a lot with Lao Cao and gained a general understanding of the current situation in Hong Kong Island.
The Hong Kong government began to maintain stability, and several large gangs began to shrink and transform as much as possible because it is difficult to turn around a big ship.
It is unrealistic to move all the businesses out, so we can only seek transformation.
Among them, the most successful transformation was the Ngee Ann Gang, which almost controlled the entertainment industry in Hong Kong Island. Many classic films were produced by companies under the Ngee Ann Gang.
At this time, 21K moved to Macau and entered the Macau gambling industry, causing quite a stir.
In fact, the Shenghe Club also wanted to move to Macau, and fought with 21K in Macau several times. Finally, due to various factors, it was forced to retreat to Hong Kong Island and began to keep a low profile and engage in legitimate investment business.
However, some small gangs are having a blast. No one knows whether they will be liquidated after their return, so they are trying to make as much money as they can while there is still more than a year left.
For them, time is money.
A bit complicated, but ok.
That night, Lei Zhen hugged Shu Jin and lay on the narrow bed, looking at the starry sky outside through the small window.
This kind of quiet time together is rare.
For both Lei Zhen and Shu Jin, it was a peaceful enjoyment.
"Hubby, how nice it would be if we could always be like this?" Shu Jin whispered.
Lei Zhen didn't say anything because this was impossible. He couldn't give the other party such a simple life.
"I'm just saying it casually, you don't have to take it seriously." Shu Jin said softly, "My husband is destined to do great things, he can't be ordinary."
"Ordinary is also possible."
Lei Zhen thought for a moment and hugged Shu Jin tighter.
"After I finish everything, I will live an ordinary life with you. But before that, it's impossible, because a truly ordinary life is built on the extraordinary."
The idea is very clear. Ordinary life is not called life at all, it is called survival.
Only when you are extraordinary and have choices can you live an ordinary life.
"real?"
"Really, when have I ever lied to you?"
"Um!"
Shu Jin turned around, curled up in Lei Zhen's arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Very sweet and warm.
But sweetness and warmth are often short-lived and fleeting. Just as the two were sleeping in each other's arms, a sound came from the slightly larger master bedroom next door.
“Crack! Crack!…”
The flimsy wooden bed was shaking, making clear sounds that gradually became faster.
Lei Zhen endured it.
But I never expected that Lao Cao was so amazing, it took more than an hour.
After everything calmed down, Lei Zhen and Shu Jin looked at each other, and all sleepiness disappeared.
But there was a snoring sound coming from his arm.
“Crack! Crack!…”
The noise here lasts until dawn, it’s even!
