Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 35: Professor Kun's Mini-Lesson is Back Online!
Liang Kun's words left the three of them somewhat silent.

Wang Dao asked Li and Chen, "Do you agree with Brother Kun's point of view?"

They both nodded.

Wang Dao sighed, "What Brother Kun said are all profound truths; you must remember them."

He thought of his past life, where even in that peaceful environment, people were willing to risk their lives to survive.

Everyone is a beast of burden.

All the money I earned was from gambling.

In that era, were people who would lend you money considered brothers?

No.

Those are my godfather and godmother.

If this is the case in peaceful environments, then what about the gangsters who fight for their lives, living for today and not knowing tomorrow?
True brothers!
Anyone who dares to disagree will be met with a barrage of criticism from Wang Dao.

With the three men showing their support and particularly agreeing with his views, Liang Kun became quite talkative and ended up saying a lot more:

"We gangsters live for today, not tomorrow. The advantage of following the right boss is not only that it will shorten the time it takes for you to rise to the top, but more importantly, it will save your lives."

Li Fu and Chen Yongren were completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

Handsome Kun looked up at the sky and sighed:
“I’ve been involved in gangs since I was a child, and my boss, Brother Long, watched me grow up.”

"Do you know who my fellow students debuted at the same time as me?"

They both shook their heads.

Liang Kun said calmly:
"All dead!"

Their expressions froze.

"If I had to say there's anyone in the company who started at the same time as me, it would be B."

"But this guy is a few years older than me, and we live relatively close to each other."

"As for Gan Zitai, he is actually a few years younger than me."

"When you're out there, you might not live to see tomorrow; the chances of being born into a good family are terrifyingly high."

"I remember someone once calculated that out of a hundred people who went out to make a living, after a year, only about fifty would still be alive, and they might not even be in good health."

"Three years later, of the remaining fifty people, fewer than five will be alive."

"Ten years from now, it would be good if even one of the ten remaining people survives."

"Any full-time employee who has been with the company for more than three years and has not yet been officially employed is called 'Old 49'."

"However, what's strange is that even Old Fourth Nine is a rare breed in any gang."

Chen Yongren's expression changed drastically.

Handsome Kun turned to look at Chan Wing-yan:

"Ah Ren, you've been in this business for a year now, right? What's it like?"

Chen Yongren looked at Liang Kun and then at Wang Dao, the latter of whom said directly:

"Just tell the truth."

Chen Yongren smiled wryly:

"Before I met Brother Dao, I was sleeping under bridges. I felt like I really couldn't take it anymore."

"Joining clubs isn't as wonderful as I imagined."

Liang Kun laughed loudly, his hoarse voice particularly unpleasant:
"No job is easy, let alone the life-or-death struggle of the martial arts world."

"Was Ah Ren also lured in by comics or gangsters?"

Chen Yongren was certainly not; he was forced into the situation by Huang Zhicheng. However, given the current circumstances, he could only say that.

“Ado was also tricked into coming here, and so was I.”

"Later I realized why comics and gangster movies depict things this way."

"Ninety percent of the people in Hong Kong have triad backgrounds."

“Those film and television practitioners are either controlled by gangs or have gang backgrounds themselves.”

"Can they speak ill of the gang?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Chen Yongren thought for a moment and said,
"But I think Brother Dao is great, Brother Fu is great, and Master Ding is great too."

Handsome Kun laughed heartily, clearly pleased, but after he finished laughing, he said seriously:
"That's because you're lucky enough."

“There are few like us.” “There are many treacherous people in the underworld. Take Hung Hing, for example. The leader doesn’t treat us like human beings. He just treats us as tools to fight for profits.”

"The only way to control your own destiny is to become strong."

"Otherwise, someone can manipulate things at will and make you suffer the consequences."

"This martial arts world is essentially a cannibalistic place."

"To meet someone who is even remotely human is a blessing."

Chen Yongren grinned and said:
"Then I've hit the jackpot."

Handsome Kun laughed:

"What do you say?"

Chen Yongren nodded solemnly: "I think so!"

This is what he thinks.

This life has been terrible. I was born without a father, and even worse off than my own father who is now dead.

As Ni Kun's illegitimate son, he has never used a penny of Ni Kun's money and does not want to have any relationship with Ni Kun. He has been living with his mother since childhood.

However, her mother passed away early.

Chen Yongren's ambition to become a policeman was also a way of distancing himself from Ni Kun.

He was doing well at school, but someone discovered his biological father's background, and what's worse, the other party used this to force him to drop out of school and go undercover in the underworld.

Ultimately, the goal is to return to the person you hate most and find an opportunity to bring them down.

It refuses to help me in the slightest, not even when I call for help.

In fact, Chen Yongren did not object to infiltrating the Ni family at all.

His surname is Chen, not Ni, so let's just treat this as an ordinary undercover job.

But Huang Zhicheng didn't treat himself like a human being, which disgusted Chen Yongren.

Disdain from the underworld and disgust from the legitimate world brought Chen Yongren to the brink of collapse, and he was on the verge of losing his place in the underworld.

Do you think he wants to live under a bridge? What kind of good person would want to live in that godforsaken place?

There's no other way, is there?

Luckily I met Brother Dao, otherwise it's hard to say what I would have become.

For some reason, Chan Wing-yan felt that the atmosphere at the Hung Hing branch in Mong Kok was really good.

No one would treat him like an outsider; he knew nothing, yet no one looked down on him.

Chen Yongren had only spent a little over a day with Liang Kun, Wang Dao, and Li Fu, but he found a rare sense of peace. He discovered that he actually felt a sense of "identification" with these four people.

This is a major taboo for undercover agents.

Chen Yongren enjoyed this feeling very much, and he even tried to intensify it.

Therefore, Chen Yongren did not tell Huang Zhicheng about his actions over the past two days. He was even afraid that Huang Zhicheng would make him leave after learning about the situation.

As for the future, we'll see when the time comes.

Anyway, Chen Yongren likes this feeling now.

Handsome Kun patted Chan Wing-yan on the shoulder:

“Ah Ren, you are indeed lucky. By taking Ah Dao as your elder brother, you have found a guiding light.”

"With Adao protecting you, he'll tell you all the taboos of the martial arts world."

"But remember this: Adao is your elder brother. You must respect him and support him."

Chen Yongren solemnly said:

"Uncle Ding, I've got it."

Liang Kun glanced at Li Fu:
"Afu, what do you say?"

Li Fu bluntly stated:
"Brother Ding, I will live and die with Brother Dao."

His eyes were full of determination.

Liang Kun gave a thumbs up: "Well done!"

Wang Dao was displeased and reprimanded Li Fu:

"What nonsense are you talking about? You're several years older than me. Who wants to live and die with you? I'm sure I'll live to be a hundred!"
