Hong Kong variety show: Hung Hing, are you contributing to society?

The rain intensified, and all three were soaked to the bone.

Countless images flashed through Chen Yongren's mind, finally settling on Ah May's ever-growing belly...

Chen Yongren made a decision.

He walked up to Su Jianqiu and said apologetically, "Ah Qiu, I'm sorry about this undercover matter... Although I know Brother Dong isn't that kind of person, I'm still worried that if the news gets out, the Hung Hing people will cause trouble for my wife."

This is the truth.

Although he confessed to Lin Yaodong that he was an undercover police officer, only Lin Yaodong and Gao Jin knew about it.

Dong Ge didn't mind; that shows his magnanimity. He said, "When you're in the world, you're not in control of your own destiny; I understand."

But if his other underlings find out he's an undercover agent... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Of course, his return to the police force will be announced sooner or later.

But there is a distinction between before and after.

Before his return and the revelation of his identity, this period is when he is most vulnerable to retaliation. However, once his return is announced, he will be a government official, and those who want revenge will restrain themselves.

"I'll have to make do with you for now, come with me!" Chen Yongren said, then picked up the handcuffs.

Su Jianqiu struggled frantically, jumping and hopping like a grasshopper, cursing loudly:

"Chen Yongren, you damned bastard!"

"Including family assets!!"

"I treated you like a brother!"

"You traitor, may you be struck by lightning!"

"Dong-ge treated you so well! How could you betray him?!"

"Brother Dong won't let you get away with this! The brothers of Hung Hing won't let you get away with this!"

Various vulgarities, mixed with greetings to Chen Yongren's entire family, echoed in the wind and rain.

Su Jianqiu's struggle was real, because he knew that once he was taken back to the police station, his undercover identity might be exposed.

But he couldn't reveal his identity, so he could only continue to play the role of an angry gangster.

Chen Yongren gritted his teeth and forcibly handcuffed Su Jianqiu's hands behind her back.

The handcuffs clicked shut with a soft "click," barely audible in the wind and rain, but to Chen Yongren it sounded like a thunderclap.

Then, to Huang Zhicheng's astonishment, Chen Yongren handcuffed the other end of the handcuffs to his wrist.

"What are you doing?" Huang Zhicheng asked.

"I'll go back to the police station with you," Chen Yongren said calmly, rain streaming down his face, obscuring whether there were tears in his eyes. "But Ah Qiu is my brother, I can't let him be handcuffed alone. If he's going to be handcuffed, I'll be handcuffed too."

Su Jianqiu was stunned; he hadn't expected Chen Yongren to do this.

Huang Zhicheng was also stunned. He held up his gun, unsure of how to react.

"Ah Ren, you..." Su Jianqiu's voice was choked with emotion, his vision blurred by either rain or tears.

Chen Yongren didn't look at him, but turned to Huang Zhicheng: "Huang Sir, I'll go back with you, but on one condition: Ah Qiu can't be harmed. You guarantee his safety, and I'll cooperate with you. Otherwise..."

He paused, then said, "Otherwise, nobody will be leaving the rooftop today."

When Su Jianqiu appeared, Chen Yongren knew he had no choice but to return to the police force.

Looking at the two young men handcuffed together, their disheveled appearance soaked by the rain, and the unwavering determination in their eyes to do anything for each other, Huang Zhicheng suddenly felt a deep weariness.

He put down his gun and let out a long sigh.

"Okay, I promise you," Huang Zhicheng said. "Su Jianqiu will be protected as a witness. As long as he cooperates, he'll be fine."

Chen Yongren nodded, then said to Su Jianqiu, "Ah Qiu, I'm sorry. But this is the best way I can think of to protect you."

Su Jianqiu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Aren, you're a fucking madman."

Chen Yongren smiled, a relieved smile mixed with guilt—guilt towards Lin Yaodong.

.....

At the same time.

Lin Yaodong had just returned home after visiting Ruan Mei at the hospital.

"Brother Dong, we're here." Jiang Xin stopped the car, opened his umbrella, and ran to the back seat.

Lin Yaodong waved his hand and opened the car door himself.

As soon as he stepped into the stairwell, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind:

[Ding! Warning! Warning!! Chen Yongren's loyalty has decreased by 10%]

[Ding! Chen Yongren's current loyalty: 80% (Basic loyalty, can be assigned general tasks)]

Lin Yaodong stopped in his tracks.

"What the hell?"

"Loyalty can decrease??"

He stood in the entryway, raindrops dripping from the tip of his umbrella and pooling on the floor.

How could it suddenly drop to 80%?

Lin Yaodong recalled Chen Yongren's recent behavior and found nothing unusual.

They had dinner together last week, and Chen Yongren talked about his wife's pregnancy, smiling broadly.

Yesterday I reported on the visit to the neighborhood... everything seems normal.

He tapped the virtual interface in his mind that explained loyalty.

[When the tester faces a major life turning point and becomes involved with the host, their loyalty will change accordingly. (Note: Over 95% will never betray the host.)]

"A major turning point in life...related to the host..." Lin Yaodong pondered these words, and roughly got a direction in his mind.

Is it about undercover work?

He immediately took out his phone and dialed Gao Jin's number.

The phone rang twice before being answered.

"Brother Dong." Gao Jin's voice was always steady, without any fluctuations.

"Ah Jin, did the men we sent to follow the three undercover agents keep following them?" Lin Yaodong asked as he continued upstairs.

"Yes, there hasn't been a report from today yet," Gao Jin said, pausing for a moment. "Brother Dong, the brothers who work with Chen Yongren and Su Jianqiu just sent me a message, requesting to meet with me now to report. Has something happened?"

Lin Yaodong pondered for a moment.

The dim light cast a long shadow on him.

"Same place as always, I'd like to hear what's going on," he said.

"Yes, Brother Dong."

Half an hour later, Lin Yaodong arrived at a basement in Mong Kok.

"Brother Dong." The two stood up.

Lin Yaodong waved his hand and sat down.

"Speak."

The two young men, one named Afei and the other Agou, were Gao Jin's capable stalkers.

Ah Fei took out a mini recorder and pressed the play button.

First came the static, then the conversation on the rooftop—the sound of wind, rain, Chen Yongren's voice, Su Jianqiu's cursing, Huang Zhicheng's promises…

The recording was short, less than ten minutes.

But the amount of information is enormous.

After the recording ended, Ah Fei added, "Later, Wong Chi-shing took them to the Wan Chai Police Station. I saw through binoculars from the building across the street that Chan Wing-yan and Su Kin-chau were taken into interrogation rooms separately..."

Lin Yaodong listened expressionlessly, his fingers tapping lightly on the table.

Once, twice, three times.

"It seems Chen Yongren is going to return to the police force," Gao Jin said, a hint of murderous intent in his voice.

Lin Yaodong nodded without saying a word.

He was thinking about Chen Yongren's last words—"Ah Qiu is my brother, I can't let him be handcuffed alone. If anyone's going to be handcuffed, I'll be handcuffed too."

Interesting...really interesting.

"Brother Dong, do you want to..." Gao Jin made a throat-slitting gesture.
