He Ping'an didn't want to waste time arguing about right and wrong, so he glanced at Lei Luo and A Xia: "Just now, Rattlesnake said you need 50,000 to marry that woman. How about it, do you want this opportunity?"

Lei Luo readily agreed this time, "Yes!" He had originally approached He Ping'an because of his elegant attire, hoping to make a good connection. Now that there was 50,000 yuan, he certainly couldn't miss the opportunity.

At the gambling den, watching He Ping'an effortlessly locate the rattlesnake's hidden stash of money, Lei Luo stood by with a cryptic expression.

"Boss, were you only after the rattlesnakes' money from the very beginning?"

"You want to ask why I killed the rattlesnake, right?" He Ping'an put away the money and chuckled, "It's simple, nip it in the bud!"

Of course, these are just some of the reasons that can be explained. For example, when raising hunting dogs, it is necessary to train them to hunt and maintain their wildness, while also constantly reminding them of their owner's power. All of these things are not for outsiders to know!

A whole sack of blue crabs (10), red snapper (100), and beef (500)—He Ping'an had a bountiful harvest. He smiled and looked at the envious Lei Luo.

"You think you can take 50,000 yuan with just a few casual words? Not so easy! Stick with the rickshaw, don't fall behind, and I'll give you the promised 50,000 yuan, plus an extra 50,000 yuan as a bonus!"

"Really?" Lei Luo exclaimed with delight, "You can't back out now! I used to drive a rickshaw!"

At that time, Lei Luo was indeed a good young man!

"Hmph..." He Ping'an patted his head, "Do you think I need your little bit?"

At the casino entrance, the rickshaw driver looked around, reluctant to part with his boss's red snapper, yet eager to leave as quickly as possible.

"Swish, swish!" Two red snapper bills were stuffed into the rickshaw driver's pocket, and He Ping'an got into the rickshaw carrying the sack. "Run with all your might, shake off the kid behind you, and I'll give you two more big bucks when we get there!"

"Thank you, boss!"

In the 50s, there was no Hung Hom Tunnel in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. If you wanted to go to Hong Kong Island, you could only take a ferry from Kowloon.

"Huff... Boss, we've arrived in Tsim Sha Tsui, the pier is just ahead!" The rickshaw driver glanced at the young man following closely behind him, looking dejected. He was really running his life away for 1000 dollars, and steam was even rising from his head.

"Hehe...yours!" Two large bills were handed over, and He Ping'an got off the rickshaw carrying the sack, acknowledging the driver's kind words that it was free.

A rickshaw puller's monthly income is 30 yuan. After deducting the exploitation by gangs and the police, 20 yuan is considered a good income. 1200 yuan is 60 months' or five years' worth of income! Buying a police officer's position would leave him with 200 yuan extra, so he's really turned his life around.

"You're not bad, kid. Take it yourself!" He Ping'an pointed to the trouble at his feet, indicating that Lei Luo should take it himself.

With a thick wad of cash in his pocket, Lei Luo said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. He! Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back!"

At this moment, all He Ping'an saw in Lei Luo's eyes was sincerity. Alas, times change, and people's hearts are fickle. To maintain one's true self? Too difficult, too difficult!

He Ping'an pointed to the sexy goddess standing to the side, drenched in sweat and constantly wiping Lei Luo's brow. "Your girlfriend treats you very well and is very hardworking. She's a good match! As for paying back the money... no rush!"

He Pingan waved and boarded the ferry bound for Hong Kong Island.

Separated by a narrow strait, it's like heaven and hell! Outside Hong Kong Island, in the surrounding area of ​​Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, people mingle, dressed in rags, living in makeshift houses made of a few planks of wood. Meanwhile, on Hong Kong Island itself…

Skyscrapers stand tall, roads are wide, rickshaws are rare, and cars are the most common mode of transportation. Most people are dressed in suits and ties. However, the majority are foreigners, with only a small number of Chinese faces!

Mid-Levels Villa, 108 Robinson Road...

Lou Xiaohui retorted, "If you want to marry me, then marry me!" and stormed upstairs.

A middle-aged man who bore a striking resemblance to Lou Zhenhua shook his head with a wry smile.

"Mother, He Ping'an is already married, and Xiaohui has also come to Hong Kong and Kowloon. There's no possibility for the two of them anymore. Since coming to Hong Kong and Kowloon, the eldest son of the He family has already repented. Mother, why don't our two families rekindle our relationship?"

Lou's mother stared intently at the son she had raised single-handedly: "Qianchuan, are you doing this for that ridiculous promise, for Xiaohui, or... for yourself? Are you still my son, Xiaohui's brother?"

Seeing her son speechless, Lou's mother shook her head in disappointment and turned to go upstairs.

Lou Qianchuan's wife, Liu Hui, was of medium height and quite beautiful when she was young. However, as she got older, her thin face made her look more mean.

"The eldest son of the He family comes from a prestigious family; his uncle is also a top tycoon in Hong Kong and Kowloon, living in a luxurious villa on the Peak. I really don't know what my little sister was thinking, giving up a perfectly good life as a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family to become a concubine for that poor boy from Beiping. And Mom..."

"Shut up!"

Lou Qianchuan slammed his hand on the table and got up to go upstairs. Liu Hui was left downstairs muttering to herself.

"What's the use of getting angry with me? I'm doing this all for the Lou family..."

A maid came in to report: "Madam, there's a man named He Ping'an outside the door. He says he's an old friend from the north and wants to see Miss Xiaohui!"

"What 'old friend' nonsense, let him go!" Liu Hui waved her hand irritably, then suddenly called out to him, "Wait, you said his name is He Ping'an! So, you tell Afu..."

Outside the door, He Ping'an looked down at Lou Fu, who was struggling to get up, and said coldly, "If you keep moving around like this, you'll really become a cripple! Tell me, who told you to do this? And how is Xiao Hui?"

"Heh...you're quite tough. Fine, you're surnamed Lou after all, so let's give Xiaohui some face!" He Ping'an picked up Lou Fu, who was gritting his teeth and continuing to try, and stepped into the Lou family home.

Although the Lou family mansion in Hong Kong and Kowloon is also a luxury villa on the hillside, it is worlds apart from the Lou Mansion in Beijing. When He Ping'an entered the living room, he heard a middle-aged woman cursing him incessantly.

Liu Hui looked at He Ping'an who had suddenly appeared, her voice unusually shrill with fear, "Hey, who are you? Why are you trespassing in my house? Let go of Afu!"

"You've been cursing me for ages, and you still don't know who I am?" He Ping'an kicked Lou Fu. "Did you send this guy to humiliate me? He's got a good tongue, but his kung fu is just awful!"

"You...you, you are He Ping'an?" Liu Hui swallowed hard as she looked at Lou Fu's miserable state.

"Ping An, you've come to marry me?" Lou Xiaohui heard the commotion and saw her lover rushing downstairs. Without stopping, she threw herself into He Ping An's arms.

He Ping'an picked her up casually, "Yes, I've come to marry you!"

In the living room, the Lou family gathered together again, this time with He Ping'an also present.

He Ping'an glanced at the incessantly chattering Liu Hui and said sarcastically, "The Liu family? There are no wealthy families with the surname Liu in Hong Kong and Kowloon!"

"You...!" Liu Hui was speechless for a moment, then looked at He Ping'an with disdain. "My Liu family, no matter how bad it is, is still a prominent family in Hong Kong and Kowloon, far superior to you, a poor wretch from Beiping."

He Pingan shook his head indifferently, his expression towards Liu Hui extremely serious.

"No, you didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was... a family like yours, the Liu family, even if the entire family were to die, it wouldn't cause much of a stir!"
