Sham Shui Po, Fuk Wing Street.

At three in the morning, the streets were deserted.

Only a few dim streetlights swayed slightly in the night breeze.

Chen Feng walked down that familiar alley.

Arrive at the entrance of number 132.

Push open the door.

Go up the stairs.

The third and a half floor.

Push open the wooden door with its peeling paint.

It was very dark inside.

Only a sliver of moonlight shone through the window, casting a faint glow on the ground.

Xiaoyu was asleep in bed, breathing evenly.

Chen Feng gently closed the door.

I walked to the bedside.

He looked down at her.

She was sleeping soundly, with a slight smile on her lips.

I wonder what kind of wonderful dream I'm having.

Chen Feng stood there for a while.

Then he turned around.

I walked to the window.

Pull the curtains open a crack.

Looking out the window at the night sky.

The neon lights were still flashing in the direction of Yau Ma Tei.

But it was already quiet.

Ruan Biao is dead.

Princess Jin was bombed.

Yan Tong stepped forward.

The matter is temporarily resolved.

But he knew it was only temporary.

Yan Tong will not let this go.

Even Snake King Can wouldn't.

There is also Ruan Biao's older brother, Ruan Xiong.

There are still more than two thousand people on Borneo.

They won't just let it go like that.

Chen Feng drew the curtains.

I walked back to the bedside.

Lie down.

Close your eyes.

Tomorrow, I still need to take Xiaoyu to school.

-

Six o'clock in the morning.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Chen Feng woke up.

He sat up and looked at the small bed next to him.

Xiaoyu has woken up and is getting dressed.

"elder brother!"

She saw him, smiled, and asked, "When did you get back?"

Chen Feng said, "Last night."

Xiaoyu jumped off the bed and ran over.

"Brother, I'm hungry."

Chen Feng stood up.

Walk to the stove.

ignition.

Heat the pan.

Lower noodles.

Xiaoyu leaned over the table, watching his back.

"elder brother,"

She said, "You went out to run errands again last night?"

Chen Feng did not turn around.

"Um."

Xiaoyu was silent for a second.

Then she said, "Brother, be careful."

Chen Feng paused for a moment.

Just for a moment.

Then he continued cooking the noodles.

"Um."

The noodles are cooked.

Two bowls.

One fried egg for each person.

Xiaoyu picked up her chopsticks and began to eat heartily.

Chen Feng sat opposite him, eating slowly.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on the table, into the bowl, and onto Xiaoyu's face.

Everything was so peaceful.

Just like any ordinary morning.

After finishing his noodles, Chen Feng cleaned up the dishes.

Xiaoyu slung her schoolbag over her shoulder.

"Brother, let's go!"

Chen Feng dried his hands and followed her out.

Lock the door.

Go downstairs.

Walking on Furong Street.

The streets were already bustling with activity in the morning.

The vegetable vendor pushed his cart and called out his wares.

People hurrying to work walk by.

The tram, clanging and jingling, passed by the street corner.

Xiaoyu walked beside Chen Feng, skipping and hopping.

"Brother," she said, "I had my exam yesterday."

Chen Feng looked at her.

"How did the exam go?"

Xiaoyu smiled.

"My teacher said I've made great progress!"

Chen Feng nodded.

"very good."

Xiaoyu tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"Brother, what will you reward me with if I get first place in the exam?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment.

What do you want?

Xiaoyu tilted her head.

"Hmm... I want to eat ice cream."

Chen Feng nodded.

"it is good."

Xiaoyu smiled so hard her eyes curved into crescent moons.

I walked to the school gate.

Xiao Yu loosened the hem of his clothes.

"Brother, I'm going in!"

Chen Feng nodded.

"I'll pick you up after school."

Xiaoyu waved and ran into the school gate.

Chen Feng stood at the door, watching her figure disappear into the crowd.

Then he turned around.

walking back.

The sunlight shone on him, making him feel warm.

His face was expressionless.

But he felt very calm inside.

There's a new world over in Yau Ma Tei.

There were skinny monkeys and their ilk.

Someone is watching.

All he needs to do is take Xiaoyu to school and pick her up from school every day.

Visit occasionally.

That's enough.

Chen Feng walked back to Furong Street.

Step into Wynn Repair Shop.

Master Zhang was already inside. When he saw him come in, he greeted him with a smile.

"Guodong, so early today?"

Chen Feng nodded.

He walked to the worktable.

Pick up the wrench.

Squat down.

We started repairing an engine.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

One at a time.

It has a good rhythm.

Just like any ordinary morning.

Yau Ma Tei, Golden Princess Ballroom.

Three days have passed since the explosion. The shards of glass at the entrance have long been cleaned up, and the door that was blown off has been replaced with a new one.

But the whole building still looks drab, and the charred marks on the walls haven't been painted yet, so passersby can't help but take a second look.

Third-floor office.

Snake King Can sat on the sofa, looking haggard with bloodshot eyes.

I haven't slept well for three days.

Princess Jin was bombed, Ruan Biao died, and Yan Tong was forcing him to pay fees. Where was he going to get the money?

What's more troublesome is that Ruan Biao's group—Ahei and Gacha—are still here.

They were Ruan Biao's trusted confidants from Borneo, who had followed him for several years. They were skilled fighters, capable of killing, and utterly loyal.

Now that Ruan Biao is dead, what will they do?

Will I hold him accountable?

Do you think he killed Ruan Biao?

Snake King Can shivered.

He looked up at the two people standing opposite him.

Ah Hei was dark-skinned and strong, with a face full of fat and eyes that stared at him like a wolf.

Gacha was a little thinner than him, but equally wiry, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword, ready to be drawn at any moment.

"Snake King Can,"

Ahei spoke, his voice hoarse, "Brother Biao is dead. What do you have to say?"

Snake King Can swallowed hard.

"Brother Ahei, this...this really isn't my fault! It's all that northerner's fault! His men stormed in and just started blowing things up! I couldn't stop them!"

Ahei looked at him without saying a word.

Gacha took a step forward.

"Who's that Yankee?"

Snake King Chan said, "He's the owner of the New World Nightclub. Those streets east of Yau Ma Tei are all his territory. He has a gang of ruthless men under him."

Ahei and Gacha exchanged a glance.

The door was pushed open.

Xie Wanying walked in.

She was wearing a plain-colored cheongsam, her hair was tied up, and she had no makeup on, looking somewhat haggard.

But those eyes were still very bright.

Ahei was stunned when he saw her.

"sister in law?"

Xie Wanying walked up to them.

She looked at Ahei and Gacha.

"Ruan Biao is dead."

Her voice was calm.

Ahei nodded.

"We know."

Xie Wanying asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Ahei was silent for a second.

"Go back. Inform your elder brother."

Xie Wanying nodded.

"OK."

She said, "I'm going back now."

Ahei paused for a moment.

"Now?"

Xie Wanying nodded.

Yes. Now.

She paused.

"I'll go with you."

Ahei and Gacha exchanged a glance.

A look of surprise flashed in both of their eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you..."

Xie Wanying looked at them.

"What? It won't work?"

Ahei was silent for a second.

Then he nodded.

"OK."
