No taboos in the world

Chapter 21: The Young Lei Luo

"Where did you go last night?"

"I went shopping."

"Looking for a woman?"

"Uh...no, looking for a man."

"Um???"

"Master, don't get me wrong. What I meant was that I went out to discuss something with someone."

Hong Zhennan glanced at him and snorted.

"Did you go find that foreign devil?"

Hong Chen raised his eyebrows: "You know?"

Hong Zhennan put down his hands hidden behind his back and pressed a full brown paper bag into Hong Chen's arms: "He came to give me money early in the morning with a pig's head on his head, how could I not know?"

Hong Chen stopped his horse stance and frowned while holding the paper bag: "I didn't ask him to send money."

"You may not have said it, but he didn't dare not give it. This is the martial arts school membership fee that I paid in the past, but he only refunded my family's."

Hong Chen laughed: "Then he is quite nice."

Hong Zhennan: “…”

"Okay, little brat, tell me, how did you deal with him last night?" Hong Zhennan stood on tiptoe, hugged Hong Chen's shoulders, and asked softly in his ear.

Hong Chen also turned his head and whispered in his master's ear: "I told him that if he doesn't obey, I will kill his whole family."

Hong Zhennan frowned: "Can he believe it?"

"He dared not to believe it. Last night I dragged him out of bed and tied up his wife and children, but he didn't wake up."

"Drugs?"

"It is."

Hong Zhennan thought seriously for a while before saying, "Don't be careless. I'll send someone to keep an eye on him and the police station. If he makes any unusual movements, I'll notify you immediately. Also, go to his house again in a few days, but don't wake him up this time. Just draw a line on his neck. Go three or four times like this at irregular intervals, and any remaining thoughts he has will be extinguished."

Hong Chen nodded in agreement and gave a thumbs up: "Master, you are still the cunning one..."

"Ok?"

"I mean, old ginger is still spicy!"

Hong Zhennan glanced at him unhappily and said, "Intimidation alone won't work for long. Come in and talk to me. I'll give you some advice."

The master and the disciple entered the room, closed the doors and windows, and began their conspiracy which lasted the entire morning.

In the afternoon, Fei Bo was invited by Hong Zhennan.

The next day, before dawn, a young man with a green appearance but already handsome and heroic figure was standing upright at the door of the Hong family.

By the time the Hong family's door opened, his clothes were already wet with morning dew.

Hong Chen glanced at him and said, "You're here quite early."

"Sir, I just don't want to be late."

Hong Zhennan looked at his thin body and couldn't help but frowned: "Are you Lei Luo?"

"Yes, sir." Lei Luo straightened his chest.

Hong Zhennan looked at Hong Chen. Hong Chen smiled and didn't rush to explain, "Let's talk about it when Uncle Bo comes." Turning his head, he pointed to the room next to him and said to Lei Luo, "Go over there and wipe it off. It's cold in the morning. Don't catch a cold."

Lei Luo breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he bent down and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hong."

Soon, Fei Bo also arrived.

"Are you Lei Luo?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Okay, the young man looks very energetic, not bad! Ah Chen, will he follow me from now on?"

Hong Chen poured Fei Bo a cup of tea and said, "Yes, Uncle Bo, I'll have to trouble you to take good care of him in the future."

Fei Bo took the teacup and drank it all, saying: "Okay, I have a rough idea of ​​your abilities. If you say he is capable, then I will definitely believe in your judgment. But, are you sure he won't come back and stab us in the back?" As he said that, he looked at Lei Luo with questioning eyes.

Lei Luo stood up quickly, looking extremely serious.

"Mr. Hong, Master Hong, Uncle Bo. Although I am a poor boy, Lei Luo, I have not received much education and do not have much experience, but my parents have taught me since I was a child that I must be grateful! Before this, I did not know Mr. Hong and Master Hong, and I only heard of Uncle Bo, who is my colleague. Although I don't know why Mr. Hong likes me, no matter what you want me to do, I believe I will not let you down. I am very grateful for giving me this opportunity to sit and drink tea with you. Of course, even if you still can't believe me today, it is a great honor for me to say a few words to you."

Lei Luo's sincere expression made Fei Bo look surprised.

Hong Chen smiled but said nothing. Instead, Hong Zhennan looked at Fei Bo with great interest: "How is it?"

Fei Bo laughed out loud and patted Lei Luo's arm: "Good boy, you are good at talking. Whether we believe it or not, at least your attitude is impeccable!" Finally, he looked at Hong Chen: "Ah Chen, I think it's okay!"

Hong Zhennan also nodded: "Not bad."

Lei Luo was very smart. He knew that the critical point of his destiny had arrived. He felt his heart beating in his throat, and his eyes looked at Hong Chen with burning and nervousness.

Hong Chen smiled without changing: "I found this person, so of course I think he can do it."

At that moment, Lei Luo shuddered violently, and shouted in great joy: "Mr. Hong, thank you!"

"No need to say thank you or anything like that. Come and practice with me when you have time. You're too weak right now."

"Yes! I'll come as soon as I'm free."

Then, Fei Bo sent Lei Luo back to work first.

"Ah Chen, I have investigated Lei Luo. He has just been in the police station for more than a year. He is quite capable and was a very righteous guy at the beginning. However, he had no choice but to follow the crowd in order to make a living. But he still has a bottom line. How did you find him?"

"Uncle Bo, there aren't too many people like him in the entire Hong Kong police force, but there aren't too few either. I didn't do it on purpose, but I've seen him occasionally and I think he has a liking for me."

"Haha, that kid is really lucky."

"Uncle Bo, if you are also brave and enterprising, why should we look for outsiders?"

"Oh, stop talking. I'm old and I can't work for many more years. There's no need to waste resources on me. By the way, the foreigner told me that you want to be the first to go to the ring in the boxing match?"

Hearing this, Hong Zhennan also looked at Hong Chen.

Hong Chen nodded: "Yes, I thought about it carefully. The martial arts school can't be so loose all the time. Not to mention recruiting all the other masters, we should at least set up a Hong Kong Martial Arts Alliance and try to expand our influence in a place where we don't have much say. Only in this way, the foreigners will not be able to collect money from us casually in the future."

Fei Bo suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, you want to take advantage of the heat of the boxing match to show off your power and become the leader of the alliance?"

"Uh... Uncle Bo, what era is it still called leader? He should be called president, and my master is definitely the best choice!"

Hong Zhennan blew on the boiling tea and said, "Don't count on me. I need to take care of myself in my old age."

Hong Chen took a breath and said bluntly: "Master, I have to go out in a year at most."

Hong Zhennan couldn't help but pause in drinking tea.
