Longmen Memoirs

"Thank you."

------

The back door of the boxing ring, the rooftop.

The stepped structure of Longmen City does not allow for strong height differences in the place. Maybe when you go out and turn left, you will be on the roof of a certain building, just like now.

The clouds are clear and the sky is clear, and the lights of each house in the residential building are on.

"Who is the Miss Lin that I offended today?"

Chen Mo put his hands on his waist, overlooking the streets and passing cars in the night market downstairs. The long box containing the two knives was leaning against the railing of the rooftop.

He finally chose the former between Shengchang and Lin Yuxia.

"The eldest lady of the Lin family, Lin Yuxia, is the daughter of the Rat King and the future speaker of the committee." Hua Weijiu smoked a cigarette and leaned against the railing. "Are you scared? It's okay. In the eyes of a person like that, it's impossible for him to come to trouble you for such a trivial matter. Even if he does, it's our responsibility and Shengchang's responsibility."

"The fat boy?"

"Fat Boy's idiot used the name of Shengchang to get into trouble with Miss Lin. He doesn't care how much weight he has. No matter what the outcome of the matter is, he can't settle it."

"That's why you asked him to apologize."

"If I don't let him apologize, the club will find a way to kick him out the next day. If he offends the people on the committee, how can he continue to hang out in Longmen? I will have to collect his body in a few days." Hua Weijiu raised his head. Exhaling a breath of smoke: "If Fatty had your ability, he wouldn't have such a result. Don't worry, people are different. This Xiacheng District is a famous enclave except for the slums. It’s up to people to take care of it, I don’t know how many desperate and wanted criminals escape here every year.”

"Either they work as thugs, and most of the rest go to the ring, just like He Jiu you saw today. He was originally a school captain in Dayanli. When he went home to visit relatives, he found that his home was raped by a squire. His family was ruined, and he killed everyone in anger and fled to Longmen."

"What is the committee?" Chen Mo asked again.

"The organization that manages disputes between various gangs and societies in Longmen. The speaker is the dragon-headed rat king in the underground of Longmen. In Longmen, if the committee does not allow it, no one dares to make trouble. If the committee says something, no gang dares to say no. , in Xiacheng District, the Chief Superintendent of the Guard Bureau is not as big as the Committee." He said, threw the cigarette on the ground, took out another one and looked at Chen Mo: "Understood?"

"I understand." Chen Mo nodded.

"You just came to Longmen not long ago. It's normal that you haven't heard of these things. You will gradually understand in the future." He lit the cigarette again: "Do you still want to ask me, since the committee is so powerful, why do I dare to offend Lin Yuxia."

"The committee is powerful and fair in doing things. Everyone is convinced, but Lin Yuxia's actions today did not break the rules on the surface."

"If I had..."

"If you had chosen to go with her, I wouldn't have dared to stop you, and I couldn't have stopped you. He's right. If you followed her, the people in Shengchang wouldn't dare to trouble you." Hua Weijiu said. , handed the cigarette pack to Chen Mo and asked: "What did you think at the time about such a good opportunity?"

"I didn't think so much." Chen Mo took out the cigarette and Hua Weijiu took back his hand. After lighting it, he took a sip: "She may not necessarily like me. I feel uneasy. I should be more practical in the boxing ring. At least I know What should I do.”

"You're right. That kind of young lady may just like you for a moment." Hua Weijiu shook the cigarette in his hand and looked Chen Mo up and down seriously: "After all, you are indeed quite handsome, maybe you are really good-looking." If you fall in love with someone, you will really reach the sky in one step. Even when I see you, I have to respectfully call you brother."

"Haha, I didn't say she was my crush." ​​Chen Mo replied half-jokingly.

"You are still proud." Hua Weijiu glanced at Chen Mo: "You are boxing with Shengchang, just to have a meal with Shengchang's dock. I heard about you, and you knocked down He with just a bare hands. Nine? If you hadn’t had this ability, I wouldn’t have dared to offend the committee for you.”

He said, patting Chen Mo on the shoulder.

"Follow me from now on, and I won't treat you badly with money or women. In Longmen, as long as you have the ability, we can give you everything you want."

Chen Mo smiled.

"Brother Hua Wei, I just heard you say that you and Sanhui had some conflicts?"

"Good boy, do you have any ideas?"

"I want to hear it first."

"Sanhui Hui is the largest society on Dongguo Street. Originally, we had some conflicts with them on several commercial streets in Xiahuan, but it was not bad. Whether it is Dongguo people or Victoria people, there are many outsiders in Longmen. But two weeks ago, a woman came to their meeting, a woman from the ghost tribe. She originally wanted to lead people to find a venue, but she didn't expect that a few days ago, she led people to raid the largest boxing ring, and one person was knocked down. He Shengchang's subordinates are the best at beating Ahu and a dozen of them." Hua Wei sighed heavily: "You didn't see that scene at that time. Everyone in the three gatherings called her Ghost Sister. You know their culture is only Only the most powerful people can be called that."

"Didn't you think about solving it?"

"Why haven't I thought about it? If I put it down three days ago, oh, now it is two days ago. I have hired someone from the committee to be a notary to resolve this matter. But before you come, I really can't find anyone who can deal with the ghost. Sister, let’s have a duel.” He looked at Chen Mo with a smile: “You came at the right time.”

"You mean?"

"Although the club has invited many martial arts masters, those masters are not people with Shengchang. The committee will not accept this account." He said: "There is no chance that you will be asked to go up in two days. By then you will Maybe you can even reach my position."

------

When he saw Foxhound again, he was sitting in its van. When he saw Chen Mo, he waved to Chen Mo, with cream on the corner of his mouth and a half-eaten hot dog in his hand.

Chen Mo held the oil paper bag in his left hand and the long box in his right hand. After getting in the car, he put the long box in the back seat.

The foxhound held the fast food bag and handed it to Chen Mo with a smile on his face.

"Thank you for your hard work, great hero. I didn't forget you for the midnight snack."

After Chen Mo took it, his free hand was not idle, and he opened the paper bag that Chen Mo carried into the car. There were several neat stacks of Longmen coins in the paper bag.

Foxhound counted.

"Not bad. I made seventy or eighty thousand in one night. You can make it faster than even robbing money."

"How much did you earn?"

"Well..." He pointed to the paper bag placed under the driver's seat: "It's not much. I bet 30, and the odds are three times five points, so [-] to [-]."

"Do you believe me so much?" Chen Mo paused while biting his midnight snack.

"Originally I wanted to bet more, but the odds will be lower if you bet too much. Unfortunately, you won't be able to bet so high next time. By the way, how did things go? I saw you met Lin Yuxia, Later he was taken away by Red Tail.”

"Hongwei told Shengchang and I that we had found some martial arts masters, but the committee might not recognize them. Judging from what he meant, he probably wanted to give them a try."

"Isn't that why we came here?" Foxhound nodded. "When you enter He Shengchang, we can start investigating the ice."

"Did you know that Lin Yuxia from the committee would come?" Chen Mo asked. "I don't think there's such a coincidence, Foxhound."

Chapter 10 Clear grudges

The fox terrier stopped biting the hot dog for just half a second, then inserted the key and started the car as if nothing had happened.

The car body shook, and the pale car lights pierced the deep night.

He didn't answer, but the answer was obvious.

"Sometimes it's actually good to pretend to be confused, Snake." Foxhound whispered, his beautiful face reflecting the street lights flashing outside the car window, and the street scene of Longmen was still gorgeous at night.

Chen Mo saw her profile, and the light from outside the car was reflected in her eyes. Through the thin glass, she reflected the tall buildings standing in the gantry and the deserted streets.

"Confused? Ha." Chen Mo smiled, but there was no smile on his face: "I thought I had lived a confused life, Foxhound, since I was in this dragon gate, in all these years, I have never felt like I’m sober now.”

Chen Mo said, but the foxhound failed to understand what he meant.

"So if I were you, I would definitely not come back." Foxhound replied: "You said you know my purpose, then you should also know that since you stepped into the dragon gate, there are some things that are not yours to decide. Yes, snake."

"Including letting me join He Shengchang?"

"It also includes the fact that the Guards Bureau can find a reasonable name to get rid of you after you lose value."

Foxhound said calmly without turning his head, even though Foxhound knew that if Chen Mo suddenly made a move at this time, he would have no chance of escaping with his skills.

But he seemed confident, or as he said, they were not enemies yet.

"You never believed me, did you? Snake."

Foxhound knows that Chen Mo has never trusted him, so how can he trust him? Trust a stranger who doesn't know the foundation, trust a person who may be opposite to him.

Foxhound didn't know the purpose of Chief Wei sending him here, but one thing Foxhound knew very well was that since he was sent here with the purpose of surveillance, Chen Mo was naturally not from the Guards Bureau.

I don’t know when, the positions of Fox and Chen Mo suddenly changed. When they met again, the little kid who used to go around looking for police officers with a police badge is now getting farther and farther away from the Guards Bureau. When he was a child, he thought about becoming a policeman in the future. , but he failed to realize this wish in the end, rather far from it. However, the fox who was just following him at first realized his wish by some strange combination of circumstances.

What the fox didn't know was that he didn't know how to face Chen Mo, a Chen Mo who he hadn't seen for more than ten years and had even forgotten about him.

She had thought about seeing Chen Mo again, but she never imagined that she would become like this, becoming his enemy, being wary of her, and suspicious of him.

But the fox has no choice. She has never had to choose. The position of the Guards Bureau is considered respectable in this city. The fox knows better than anyone how much power this dragon gate contains.

That was not something that a new arrival and a completely different person could handle, so she couldn't let Chen Mo know her identity, because then he would hold back and expose his flaws, and at that time, it would not be a good thing for either Chen Mo or the fox. .

She could hide, and she had become very familiar with how to hide herself over the years.

"I didn't expect you to put it so directly, Foxhound."

Chen Mo did not expect that Foxhound would directly tell him one of the reasons why he joined He Shengchang.

"I'm just telling you a possibility. It doesn't mean that the Guards Bureau won't do it, but even if I tell you, what can you do, Snake?" Foxhound turned his head and glanced at Chen Mo: "In Kill me here and escape from the dragon gate, you can do this, if you thought you should have done this long ago, but I guess, this is not your purpose, right?"

"You didn't hesitate to return to Longmen alone. You knew who you were going to face, but you didn't leave. Are you confident? Or maybe you think Longmen can't keep you." She asked, "It's just your ability. I admit it. , you may be really good at fighting, but being able to fight doesn’t mean you can do what you want, what do you think?”

"Wei Yanwu really sent a very interesting person here." Chen Mo looked at Foxhound with a smile: "So this is also his purpose, asking you to test me? Let's see what confidence I have to stay in Longmen."

"If you can do it, you can go directly to the door with a knife and question me instead of asking me." The foxhound turned his head and stared at the road ahead: "How can a little person like me guess the big shot? In my opinion, I am just a pawn sent by Commander Wei."

"A chess piece that may be discarded at any time?" Chen Mo asked.

"That at least shows that I still have some use." Foxhound replied calmly: "You don't understand. Even if I am a lackey of Chief Wei, I don't know how many people will squeeze their heads and not be able to grab this opportunity. Haha, why? It’s just such luck that it happened to me.”

Her voice sounded like she was talking to herself, but it fell clearly on Chen Mo's ears. It was so quiet in the car that the soft sound of tires on the ground could be heard.

There is so much good luck in the world.

Foxhound didn't speak anymore, and Chen Mo didn't ask any further questions. It seemed that the topic ended there. The late-night snack bag placed in front of the car remained untouched, and the bustling night scene of Longmen seemed to be gradually fading away.

All the way to downtown, downstairs of the old tail building of Foxhound.

What Chen Mo had to admit was that he had a slight affection for Foxhound. He didn't know where the affection came from. At least this person was very practical. She had never thought about hiding anything, and there was no need to hide it.

Chen Mo should have understood what he had to face when he returned to Longmen alone. In the eyes of others, his behavior was tantamount to seeking death, so Foxhound never worried about what he was going to do, at least even if What to do is not something that a character like Foxhound can decide.

"In terms of Longmen's rules, now I am considered a member of Shengchang?"

Fox Hound still didn't answer whether he had already known about Lin Yuxia's arrival and whether it was related to her. After returning to his residence on the rooftop, Chen Mo asked Fox Hound who was sitting in front of the sofa after opening the refrigerator and taking out a can of drink.

"To be precise, now you are a boxer with Shengchang, and you are living with Huawei." Foxhound nodded slightly and replied, putting down the beer in his hand, leaning on his folded thighs, and opened the paper bag containing the gambling money. , took out stacks of bundled Longmen coins from inside, divided them into two piles, and pushed one pile in the direction of Chen Mo.

"This is yours, it doesn't count me taking advantage of you." She raised her head and looked at Chen Mo, and added: "Public and private matters should be distinguished."

Chen Mo did not refuse.

"So we have to go tomorrow." Chen Mo asked.

"Until your name is big enough, Hua Wei will take you to Yihui Building and Shengchang's headquarters. It should be in the next two days. He Shengchang can't wait too long. You don't think that's what we are going to today. It’s probably the biggest venue in Heshengchang.”

"Then I went inside He Shengchang."

"Before you go in, you have to resolve your grievances with Shengchang and Sanhuihui. The ghost sister from Sanhuihui has been very famous in Xiacheng District during this period. The martial arts has its own rules, and those martial arts masters are definitely not willing to let go of their I have heard about the grievances between the Menguan and the club. I have heard about the disciples under them who can fight. They are okay to deal with ordinary people, but they are still too young to deal with ghost sisters." Foxhound said, looking at Chen Mo: "You His identity is very good, he knows a little about the disputes in the Longmen Society, his skills are good, and he can't find any faults."

"is it?"

"Otherwise..." She looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was two o'clock in the morning, and stood up: "Go to bed early tonight. Don't forget that we still have things to deal with tomorrow."

Foxhound returned to the room.

Chen Mo was the only one left in the living room, looking at the stacked banknotes on the table.

[She's quite an interesting girl, isn't she? To be honest, I'm starting to like her a little bit. 】

Goudan's voice suddenly remembered that he appeared on the sofa. Under the bright light, he did not leave a shadow.

"Girl?" Chen Mo didn't quite understand what Goudan meant. "You mean..."

[Didn’t you realize she was a woman? 】 Goudan asked. Stacks of Longmen coins were slowly piled up by him into a mountain. He looked at Chen Mo with some pity in his eyes:

[You forget too many things, watchdog. 】

"What did I forget?"

[Some things you think you still remember, but you have actually forgotten them. Some things you think you have forgotten, but you still remember them. 】

"To make things mysterious."

Chen Mo didn't care.

He wanted to remember something, but maybe it was just as Goudan said, he had forgotten too many things, but he still didn't want to admit the facts Goudan said.

Goudan didn't care. After setting up the blue mountain peak, he took back his hand and put it in front of him, looking up at Chen Mo.

[So, I think what the girl said is right. You can just go to the door with a knife and question Wei Yanwu. ] Goudan said lightly, his golden pupils flashing with dim light, Chen Mo's figure reflected in his eyes.

[It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want to speak. We can make him speak. He always has something he cares about. Destroy it bit by bit. Starting with the Guards Bureau, we can tear this city apart. We can do it. 】

"As long as I become you?" Chen Mo asked with a sneer.

[Why bother, I can help you, you don’t have to be afraid of me. ] Goudan lay on his back on the sofa: [I know what you are thinking, you have become weak, watchdog, think about you before, you have never been so-called innocent, right? How many innocents have you got in your hands? The blood of the deceased, when have you ever been innocent? 】

[You know, you know it very well. ] The voice on the sofa suddenly disappeared and appeared behind Chen Mo. Close to his ear, Goudan's cold voice slowly sounded: [Wei Yanwu must care about this dragon gate, otherwise why would he not tell him the moment you came back? He started to clean you up, he was afraid, so he compromised, he didn't dare to take action against you, he was afraid that you would go crazy, and he couldn't afford the price. 】

[But what about you, watchdog. ] Goudan's hand slowly grasped Chen Mo's hanging arm: [You are also hesitating. What do you have to hesitate about? There is nothing worthy of your nostalgia in this city, so what if you destroy it? 】

[Still...ah, I understand. 】
