Back to 1978

Chapter 123 The mission was successfully completed
In the alley near Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station, Xie Hushan watched the police car driving away with sirens blaring. He then looked at Po and Hins who were about to get on the car and waved to them.

Han Hongbing, smoking a cigarette, waved at the two of them:
"Brother, why don't you two go to the place and spend some money to recruit two younger brothers, so that you won't be bullied. You two are too useless and not suitable for fighting."

"Goodbye, Brother Shan, goodbye, Second Brother!" Abao and Xuanzi bowed to the two of them, without further ado, started a taxi, and disappeared into the night.

These two big brothers have made up their minds to flee to the mainland and escape freedom.

What Hins said to Han Hongbing when he said goodbye just now was: Unless the motherland recovers Hong Kong Island and there are militiamen like Han Hongbing everywhere to fight against the underworld, he will never set foot in Hong Kong Island again.

A Bao is smarter than Hins. His idea is to go back to the mainland to see if there is any opportunity to start a used car selling or repairing business. After making money, he will hire mainland militiamen like Xie Hushan and Han Hongbing to help with the work.

In this way, if he really needs to return to Hong Kong, he will bring the workers he hired at a high price with him. If the underworld dares to cause trouble again, he will let them recall the fear of tonight.

"Do you think the country should reward us? At least it can make a small number of Hong Kong people see the ugly face of capitalism and return to the mainland to serve the motherland without hesitation." After Xie Hushan and the other two left, he glanced at Han Hongbing next to him, turned into the alley, and opened a trash can next to him.

Han Hongbing urged Xie Hushan:

"I'm concerned about whether we should steal the dog first, or the book first, or split up and leave as soon as we're done. Comrade Zhu Youjun and Translator Lin should have arrived at the Sungang Guesthouse by now, and they're waiting to see us off as fellow Hong Kong Islanders."

"Chief of Staff Han, your friendship with that woman must be more than simple. A hug wouldn't make her run thousands of miles to send her lover off. Did you sleep in the same bed with someone else?" Xie Hushan took out two sets of sportswear from the trash can, threw one to Han Hongbing, and said with a smile:

"I'm just asking you if you're a man, tell the truth."

While changing his clothes, Han Hongbing said, "When we were watching the movie, Lin the translator kept talking to me and holding my hand..."

"If you two watch 'Heroic Sons and Daughters', this kind of thing must never happen. Watch less of those pornographic movies made in capitalist society." Xie Hushan said as he took off his jacket and T-shirt, put on a sports suit.

"How would I know what movie it is? Oh, by the way, what a coincidence. The gangster leader named Zhai played the role in the movie that got us both injured. This bastard even let a woman make a pornographic movie with him. He's really not a human being. He would be shot if he were in the mainland." Han Hongbing suddenly remembered that the leading actor looked familiar, and said to Xie Hushan.

Xie Hushan also changed his shoes into sneakers: "Don't interrupt, we just talked and held hands? Didn't we do anything else?"

"She put my hand on her chest, and I got scared again and pulled my hand back." After Han Hongbing changed, he stuffed the clothes of the two people and the guns into the trash can. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Xie Hushan seriously:
"Commander Xie, do you think I am being a hooligan? I touched her and I am not responsible. Otherwise, I will talk to her. If she is willing, I will take her back to get a letter of introduction. I am afraid her parents will not agree. Interpreter Lin looks like a city girl. I am afraid she cannot endure the hardship."

Xie Hushan glanced at him and said, "You have to marry her just because you touched her? Or did she let you touch her? What are you thinking? Don't say I don't agree with this marriage. Dahei also can't agree with you finding a brother-in-law like this. You can't eat from the same bowl as him."

"Get out of the way! You're the one eating from the same bowl as Dahei!" Han Hongbing yelled at Xie Hushan.

Xie Hushan laughed:
"That's it. Actually, you're a little itchy inside. Let me tell you, Lin the translator is not a good person. Don't feel guilty towards her. Just touch her. She's just bullying you because you've never had a girlfriend."

"Once you have a few more girlfriends, you'll get used to it. It won't be a big deal. No one understands dating as well as I do."

Xie Hushan straightened his clothes and jogged towards the lights of the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station with Han Hongbing. They looked like two young athletes who got up early for a morning run.

He said as he ran, "When you get to know more women, you will find that no woman is worth your undivided love, because there are too many women. You have to divide your love for one woman into two, three, dozens, or even hundreds. When you like hundreds of women, will you still care about Lin the translator?"

"You're starting to make up your fallacies again." Han Hongbing said.

Xie Hushan said, "It's not heresy. Think about it. You can force yourself to like a woman like Lin the Translator for ten or twenty years because of guilt or embarrassment. But if you have seen a thousand girls like Lin the Translator or prettier than Lin in this world, and the country says it's not illegal to have an affair with a woman, and you can sleep with twenty Lin the Translator in one night and leave at dawn, tell me, in this case, is it more noble to like one woman for twenty years, or to like twenty women in one night?"

Han Hongbing thought for a moment and replied to Xie Hushan: "If you have the guts to go back to the cliff mouth and tell Taozi this, I will believe you."

"We have a tacit understanding, there's no need to explain it so clearly." Xie Hushan argued.

Han Hongbing smiled:
"Bullshit, you are just bragging, in fact, you are not as good as me. Although I am passive, I have had some experience and touched women, while you are still a virgin."

"Get out of the way. Why should I tell you?" Xie Hushan glared at Han Hongbing.

Han Hongbing smiled and said, "If you had taken advantage of my sister-in-law, you would have been so proud of yourself. Besides, Sixth Grandma is watching us. Do you dare?"

The two ran to the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. Xie Hushan greeted the uniformed soldier on duty at the door of the police station, curiously poked his head inside, and asked the uniformed soldier:
"Sir, you're on duty so early. What serious crime happened?"

An old officer in military uniform yawned and waved his hand, signaling the two to leave quickly, and said sleepily:

"You are so gossipy at such a young age. Don't ask. Anyway, it has nothing to do with good students like you. Why did you two get up so early to exercise? It's still dark."

"Yes, the college entrance examination is coming soon, and there will be a physical test. Goodbye, Sir." Xie Hushan and Han Hongbing passed by the entrance of the police station and watched a large number of bad boys in the yard being taken down from several patrol cars by police officers one by one.

I don’t know what bad things these hooligans did to be brought to the police station.

After jogging for a distance, the two men hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Hong Kong Island Public Security Bureau Chief's mansion in Mount Kellett, Kowloon.

Normally, the Commissioner of Police has a special official residence in the Victoria Peak and other places where foreigners live. Unfortunately, although the previous Commissioner of Police left office, he did not leave Hong Kong and still occupied the official residence of the Commissioner of Police, which resulted in the current Commissioner of Police not being able to move in. Moreover, the current Commissioner of Police is Irish and has little say, so he dare not urge him to give up the mansion to him, and can only temporarily live in a place like Kellett Hill.

"The dog is in the backyard, throw the things in first." Xie Hushan led Han Hongbing around to the backyard wall of a villa with familiarity, and patted the wall hard to make sure that the dog could hear the noise.

Han Hongbing opened his backpack and took out the veterinary ether anesthetic and several kinds of pet dog food that Lin Meiyang had bought from the pet store pretending to be a pet dog owner, and gave them all to Xie Hushan. Xie Hushan sprinkled the ether on the food and threw it in through the wall, then stepped back to prepare for a run. Han Hongbing stood under the wall, clenched his hands on his lower abdomen, stood firmly in a horse stance, and nodded to Xie Hushan.

Xie Hushan ran with all his strength, stepping on Han Hongbing's hands with his first foot and on Han Hongbing's head with his second foot. Han Hongbing stood up straight suddenly, and with the help of this force, Xie Hushan grabbed the three-meter-high courtyard wall with both hands, turned over and jumped in.

Han Hongbing sprinkled ether on a towel and threw it in. Then he took out two thick ropes from his backpack, threw one end of the two ropes into the yard and tied the other end to a sycamore tree on the roadside.

He held two ropes in his hands. After about three to five minutes, one of the ropes felt a pulling force. Han Hongbing immediately pulled it backwards. Soon, a sack tied to the hemp rope appeared on the top of the wall. After another few seconds, Xie Hushan stuck his head out of the wall, holding the other rope.

Xie Hushan jumped down first and stood under the wall, then signaled Han Hongbing to pull the rope. The sack was pulled off the wall. Xie Hushan caught it and put it on his back. The two of them put away the rope and other props and quickly disappeared into the night.

"I think Dahei's wife is the only one of its kind in the whole county." After Xie Hushan ran a full mile and saw that there was no one around, he opened the sack and stuffed the white bull terrier of royal blood, which was now unconscious with its tongue hanging out, into the large backpack he had prepared long ago. He put it on his back and continued to pretend to be a young man doing morning exercises as he ran down the mountain.

Han Hongbing watched Xie Hushan trotting along excitedly with the dog on his back, and couldn't help but pour cold water on him:

"Commander Xie, is the dog of this police chief you like stupid? He's of royal descent... Dahei wouldn't eat food given by strangers, and Daxi wouldn't eat it either, so why did this dog eat it?"

"Forget it, it ate shit. It almost bit me to death when I jumped down. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and picked up a towel to cover its mouth." Xie Hushan carried the dog on his back, looked at the sky, and said to Han Hongbing:
"Hurry up, go grab some more books for Director Jiao, and we'll have completed our mission."

"Take the dog with you to rob together?" asked Han Hongbing.

Xie Hushan stood up and took a breath: "Isn't this nonsense? Where else should I put it? Hurry up, I'll carry the dog and you carry the book."

Dawn at the Hong Kong Jockey Club School of Veterinary Medicine, Kowloon.

There was a knock on the window of the library's duty room. The night administrator impatiently got up from the table, rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked out the window.

He saw a young man, no more than twenty years old, carrying a large backpack, standing outside and smiling at him, pointing at the door of the library, obviously hoping that he could help open it.

The administrator came out with sleepy eyes, looked at the other person unkindly, and said with strong resentment:
"What grade are you in? What's your name? Don't you know how to read the sign outside? It says, open at 8 o'clock!"

"Uncle, we're in a hurry. Please be flexible. I'll go in and get a few books and come out soon." Xie Hushan, carrying the dog on his back, smiled and flattered the administrator.

The administrator said impatiently: "No one is registered inside. Come back at eight o'clock? You really have no Yin Gong. You think the earth revolves around you..."

"Open the door, it's a robbery!" Han Hongbing came out from the side, holding up Xie Hushan's broken Type 54 rifle that didn't make a sound, and spoke to the administrator.

Unexpectedly, the administrator remained fearless. He turned around to look at Han Hongbing, then looked at the pistol, and walked into the duty room.

"Why bother talking if you just said it was a robbery earlier?" Han Hongbing saw the administrator returning to the room and thought he was going to get the key.

Unexpectedly, the old man took out a broom from the room and hit Han Hongbing, cursing:

"You two street bastards, you're not sleeping in the early hours of the morning and come to play a prank on me? Robbery? Robbery! Robbery!"

"Studying veterinary medicine for a few years has made me stupid! Rob a library? Even an idiot knows that you should rob a bank!"

"Uncle, this is a misunderstanding. We are really robbing you, not trying to trick you." Xie Hushan spoke up and advised the old man to calm down and face reality.

However, the old man was disturbed from sleeping and got up in a bad mood. He chased Han Hongbing and beat him up. Han Hongbing dodged from behind and complained to Xie Hushan:
"I said to keep a usable gun and fire a shot into the air, it can save a lot of trouble. The broken thing Lao Zhang gave you can't be fired, it can't scare people, and people are not afraid!"

"Nonsense, will Lao Zhang give it to me if I can succeed? Hurry up and give this old man some of the unused ether from the dog thief, and don't disturb his sleep!" Xie Hushan stopped the administrator with the dog on his back and said to Han Hongbing.

There's no logic in this. If the Number Gang knew that Han Hongbing could be beaten back repeatedly by an old man without being able to fight back, they would have probably retired from the world out of shame long ago.

While Xie Hushan was stopping the other party, Han Hongbing turned around, took out the ether and poured it on his clothes, allowing the old man to slap his back several times. Then he turned around and pressed the clothes on the old man's face, giving the old man a good sleep.

After helping the old man back to the duty room and taking out the key from him, Xie Hushan opened the door of the library. The two rushed in and turned on the lights. Xie Hushan glanced at the book classification while Han Hongbing stood in the hall waiting for Xie Hushan's instructions. After Xie Hushan quickly browsed through the books, he pointed to a bookcase:
"To load the books on that bookshelf."

Han Hongbing walked over and opened his large travel backpack. Without even looking at it, he threw various English veterinary literature from the bookshelf into the backpack. In just a few moments, the entire backpack was filled and no more could be put in. Then he picked up the backpack and put it on his back and walked out of the library with Xie Hushan.

"This old man is so fierce..." Han Hongbing sighed as he glanced at him as he passed by the duty room.

At this time, the sky in the distance was already turning white. The two looked at each other, and Xie Hushan spoke:
"The books are there, the dog has been stolen, the money and foreign goods have been sent, the mission of fleecing the sheep has been successfully completed, let's go home."
