Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 175 Ring, Teahouse

When talking about the welfare association, Duan Yingfeng and Quan Lao were talking most of the time.

Diao Lan, Jia Chen, and Tai Po who were sitting aside did not interfere with their decisions except for occasionally making suggestions.

The atmosphere is relatively harmonious.

It is worth mentioning that once Di Zhi died and the threat of the killer organization was gone, the expressions on Diao Lan and Jia Chen's faces became much more relaxed.

The two were originally lovers. They agreed to escape from the killer organization together, but were accidentally discovered by the organization. For Diao Lan's safety, Jiachen had no choice but to break the agreement and stay in the organization alone.

After waiting for a long time at the agreed place, Diao Lan, who didn't know the inside story, was secretly sad and left alone.

After the incident was revealed, the relationship between the two began to heat up.

……

"excuse me."

The sound coming from the door interrupted everyone's conversation.

Long Chenghu's face was still cold and hard, with a silent expression that was not good at words.

He stood at the door, his body upright, and his eyes glanced at everyone before looking at Tai Po.

"Ah!"

"You guys chat."

Taipo smiled at everyone, stood up and walked out of the door. She passed by Long Chenghu and said without looking back:

"follow me."

The two walked into the supermarket opposite the electric hair shop.

Taipo took out two stools, sat down and asked intentionally or unintentionally:

"By the way, why did you have time to come over to my place today instead of staying with Audrey?"

“In the past two days, Miss Ke’s mood has calmed down.

Yesterday, she specially asked me to accompany her to visit a nun at Longjin Free School. Now she is a volunteer teacher at Longjin Free School. "

Long Chenghu shook his head and sat down next to Tai Po.

It was the first time since he followed Ke Wanchang that he sat and talked with his mother so calmly, which made Long Chenghu look a little dazed.

Taipo nodded and said to herself:

“The Walled City is too chaotic and there is not much salary, so no one has been willing to come to the Walled City to teach.

I remember that Audrey seems to have returned from studying abroad. She is willing to work as a volunteer teacher in the Walled City so that the children in the Walled City can have teachers. This is also a good deed for the Walled City. "

Taipo's tone was somewhat sad.

It's true that she is a female figure, but she has been practicing martial arts for many years and has clear grievances.

Ke Wanchang is Ke Wanchang, and Audrey is Audrey.

Although Ke Wanchang has done many bad things in the Walled City for more than ten years, the residents of the Walled City all hate them.

Because of her son, she was even more resentful.

But Audrey is different from her father. She is a completely inexperienced girl.

Debts are wiped out after death.

She would not transfer her resentment towards Ke Wanchang to his daughter.

"Kitty cat, do you like that Miss Ke?"

Tai Po asked suddenly.

"what?"

Long Chenghu didn't react at first.

Taipo glared at Long Chenghu angrily:

"Don't act stupid. How can I, a mother, not know what my son is thinking?"

Long Chenghu did not admit it directly, but just said vaguely:

"She is Mr. Ke's daughter. I promised Mr. Ke to protect her."

Although he said this, Long Chenghu looked a little embarrassed.

As if to change the subject, he fumbled in his pocket for a while, took out a ring and handed it over.

"This is."

Taipo took the ring in her hand. It was a ring with a sapphire ring.

Although it wasn't any expensive jewelry, she recognized it at a glance. This ring was given to her by Long Chenghu's father.

She remembered clearly that there was no rice for cooking at home, so she pawned the ring.

Seeing the confusion on Taipo's face, Long Chenghu explained:

“At that time, the owner of the pawn shop sold the ring to other customers, and I bought it back from someone else after looking for it for a long time.

I originally wanted to give this ring to you, but because of Mr. Ke, I have never been able to find a suitable opportunity over the years. "

Taipo lowered her head, rubbing the surface of the sapphire ring with her fingers, and there seemed to be memories in her eyes:

"How did you know I was a ring?"

"Ah, I happened to see you entering the pawn shop on the street that day, so I couldn't help but follow you there."

After Long Chenghu finished speaking, Tai Po was silent for a while, but suddenly remembered something.

He couldn't help but ask:

"You started working with Ke Wanchang to make money to redeem the ring for me?"

If she remembered correctly, at that time there was no rice for cooking at home and no money in hand, so she could only pawn the ring.

But within two days, his son entered the hometown association and came home with a sum of money.

Her son used to be very obedient, but when she found out that her son was working with Ke Wanchang, she was furious and drove her son out of the house in anger.

Long Chenghu shook his head:

“It’s just a coincidence to follow Mr. Ke.

At that time, in order to make money to redeem the ring, I went to the boxing ring to sign a life and death certificate.

Although I won the fight, I accidentally offended the other boxers in the boxing ring. On the way home, the other boxers made trouble for me and I accidentally beat him to death.

All the boxers belonged to Mr. Ke. In order to avoid trouble and make money, I followed Mr. Ke. "

After a pause, Long Chenghu continued:

"I was frail when I was a child. When I was in Thailand, you carried me to see a doctor every day, climbing hundreds of stairs to pray to God and pray for my good health. I will always remember it in my heart.

In fact, whether it's boxing or doing things with Mr. Ke, I just want to make money so that you, Ame, can live a better life.

I don’t want to see you worrying about Chai Youmi, pawning your ring to survive, and feeling sad all by yourself. "

When he said these words, Long Chenghu's tone was very serious.

His mother warned him since he was a child:

People can be poor, but they cannot be short-minded, and they cannot do evil things for money.

But many times, many things are often beyond our control.

The so-called hatred of iron cannot make steel.

In the past, every time he came to Shiduo shop, Taipo would not give him a good look because she was angry with him for not arguing.

Long Chenghu was very aware of his importance in Ah Mei's heart.

Now that Ke Wanchang is dead, he also wants to resolve the knot with his grandma, without having to act like a stranger.

Tai Po was a little out of control.

She choked and said:

"You should have told me about this earlier. I have never felt that the life of eating Brassicae was hard, and I don't care how much money you can make back home.

I just hope that you are in good health and don’t do anything harmful to nature. I’m afraid that you will continue to follow Ke Wanchang and do bad things, and one day you will accidentally die on the street. This is not worth it.”

In the past, whenever the mother and son could not exchange a few words, Long Chenghu would be kicked out of the house by her.

Now the two of them sat down and talked calmly, especially when Long Chenghu mentioned the reason for his boxing, Taipo's emotions finally couldn't help but burst out.

"I see!"

Long Chenghu nodded heavily.

For a moment, mother and son were speechless.

After a while, Taipo wiped the corners of her eyes and handed the ring in her hand to Long Chenghu.

"for you."

Long Chenghu didn't pick it up, but looked at Tai Po in confusion.

Taipo put the ring in Long Chenghu's hand and said with meaning:

"I've given you the ring. One day you meet the girl you like, you can give it to her."

"okay."

Long Chenghu smiled knowingly, and took it in his hand without refusing this time.

Tai Po also had a smile on her face and said to herself:

"Now that Ke Wanchang is dead, you can't always stay with Audrey. If Audrey wants to teach, you must find something to do.

There will be a shortage of people due to welfare benefits. Although the salary is definitely not as much as what you would make if you followed Ke Wan for a long time, but with the supermarket subsidy, life will not be too difficult. "

Long Chenghu remained silent and did not speak.

"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Tai Po asked.

"No."

Long Chenghu shook his head: "I promised someone else." "Who is it?"

Tai Po looked serious.

"Lee An."

Long Chenghu looked serious:

"Fu Shou Jin kidnapped Miss Ke before, and I owed him a favor.

If it hadn't been for Ang Li last time, Miss Ke and I would have died at the hands of Yang Zhuluan. I owe him my life. "

Xicheng Road, dance hall.

third floor.

Huaman came over.

"A'an, someone is looking for you."

The strong wind of fists and kicks stopped.

Li An exhaled gently and took a towel to wipe the sweat on his body.

"Who?"

"A fat guy."

"I can't sit still anymore."

Li An chuckled lightly, put down the towel, took the shirt handed over by Hua Man, put it on, and walked out the door.

It was still morning, and the ballroom had not yet opened. Except for the waiters and some gorgeously dressed dancers, there was not a single customer.

Went downstairs.

Li An saw the man standing on the first floor at a glance.

The man's blue suit jacket is worn alone, with the buttons open, and the double eagle tattoo on his chest is lifelike.

Chen Minhui!

Li An stretched out his hand to signal:

"sit."

Chen Minhui shook her head: "No, I will leave after finishing the message."

Li An didn't force himself, he walked to the table, pulled out a chair, sat down, and looked up at Chen Minhui:

"Tell me, what does Fatty Chao want from me?"

Chen Minhui looked grim and said in a deep voice:

"At eight o'clock tonight, Hailian Teahouse on Longjin Road. Brother Chao and Master Ding will treat you to tea."

After pondering for a while, Li An asked: "Just invite me?"

"There are also people from the welfare association."

Li An nodded: "Okay, tell Fat Chao, I will definitely be there."

After receiving an affirmative reply, Chen Minhui didn't wait long, turned around and walked out of the ballroom.

After watching the other party leave, Li An then stood up and said to Hua Man beside him:

"I'm going to the supermarket."

Perhaps the residents of the Walled City are novel about this shopping method in supermarkets, or perhaps the prices of goods in new stores are affordable enough.

On the first day of business yesterday, business was surprisingly good, with an endless stream of customers and high enthusiasm for shopping.

Of course, the first day a new store opens doesn’t mean much.

After the three-day promotion period, if the daily customer flow can still increase steadily and the turnover continues to rise, then this will represent the future of this store.

Standing at the door of the dance hall, people were coming and going on Xicheng Road outside.

It seemed that after the chaos last night, the streets became more lively without those members of the club.

"Lee An."

After walking three or four steps, he came across a figure walking towards him.

"Oh, the injury is healed."

Li An looked up and down at Long Chenghu who was walking in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"The wound has already scarred, so it won't have much impact."

Long Chenghu's expression was as silent as ever, with a cold face.

"Okay, let's go then."

into the night.

eight pm.

Hai Lian Tea House in Lung Tsun Road.

Li An brought Long Chenghu over, almost pinching him.

The teahouse must have been booked tonight. When Li An came in, there was no customer.

More than 20 young people with scornful faces, who almost had their forties pressed against their foreheads, sat around the table, chatting in all directions and creating a commotion.

Noticing someone coming in, these people glanced over.

When he saw Long Chenghu, his expression changed obviously.

Obviously, he was deeply impressed by Long Chenghu, the most capable black market boxing champion in this city.

In addition to these four-nine boys, seven or eight people from Li Jianjun were sitting at two tables, drinking tea quietly.

When he saw Li An, he just nodded and said nothing.

Sijiu, who knew Li An, came over.

"Brother Chao is upstairs."

Li An nodded and walked upstairs along the spiraling wooden stairs.

Long Chenghu followed him expressionlessly.

"I said that our Welfare Association has no intention of exterminating all the associations in the Walled City. We will not interfere in Xin Street and Dajing Street."

When going upstairs, Li An happened to hear Duan Yingfeng's voice coming from upstairs.

"But what do you mean by driving the communities from the Walled City into our territory?"

"Except for Xin Street and Dajing Street in the Walled City, associations cannot cross the border."

"If you make it as domineering as a hometown association, then there's nothing to talk about."

The quarrel upstairs became more intense.

When Li An came to the second floor, he saw Fat Zai Chao with spittle flying and an angry look on his face.

Luotuoding sat next to him, frowning slightly and saying nothing.

Sitting across from them were Duan Yingfeng and Quan Lao.

During the conversation, the two parties were tit for tat and refused to give in.

Duan Yingfeng looked cold:

"Fat Chao, this is our bottom line. We don't care what business you do on Dajing Street, but we can't cross the line."

Fatty laughed angrily and wanted to say something else. Hearing footsteps, he turned his eyes and caught a glimpse of Li An going upstairs.

When he saw Long Chenghu following Li An, he was a little surprised.

It seems that he did not expect that after Ke Wanchang died, Long Chenghu would follow Li An.

The two of them were old acquaintances, and Long Chenghu's title as black market boxing champion was not in vain.

As Ke Wanchang's right-hand man, Long Chenghu always took the lead in the group battles in Chengzhai, and even he was embarrassed by the opponent more than once.

He looked away without any trace, and Fatty said with a smile:

"Li An, I thought you weren't coming?"

Luotuoding, who was sitting next to him, raised his head and glanced at Li An, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Li An saw the expressions of the two people and laughed:

"How is that possible? Of course I have to give Brother Chao and Master Ding their respect."

He raised his wrist again and looked at the time on his watch.

"The appointment was made at eight o'clock. It's now seven fifty-nine. It shouldn't be considered late."

Fatty Chao sneered:

"It doesn't matter if you are late, how much is Ding Ye and I's face worth.

In one night, the Welfare Association wiped out all the foreign societies in the walled city. Even Mr. Ding and I withdrew our personnel to our own territory.

You are so powerful, how can we dare to say anything? "

Fat Zai Chao and Luo Tuo Ding were the two money-giving boys that Li An met after coming to the city.

The 600,000 yuan given to him is not a small amount of money.

Although the other party's tone was unkind, Li An didn't care.

He walked to the table, pulled out his chair and sat down.

Li An glanced at Fat Chao and said with a smile:

"Brother Chao, there's no need to be so angry, right?"
