Putting aside He Shangsheng's surveillance of Ma Chao, Ah Hao began his drug rehabilitation. As a gangster, he didn't dare go to the official drug rehabilitation center. It wasn't that he was afraid of being ridiculed, but if he went to the drug rehabilitation center, the police would definitely get the news, and they would probably use this as an opportunity to arrest him. After all, his file with the police was a foot thick. After finding evidence of his drug use, they would ask him a series of questions such as the source of the drugs, which he couldn't answer. So he went to the safe house where he often hid to detoxify. This safe house was a shabby house on Xin Street, without even electricity, but Xiaohui still accompanied him.

Drug abuse is a process of fully releasing your emotions. The more pleasure you feel during drug abuse, the more painful it will be when the addiction strikes. The first few days of drug rehabilitation are the most painful. In addition, Ah Hao and his friends have no experience at all. There are no alternative drugs when the addiction strikes, and they don’t know how to quit drugs scientifically. They only know to use willpower to endure when the addiction strikes, but this process is very painful. During this process, Ah Hao even accidentally hit Xiao Hui, so that Xiao Hui almost had a miscarriage. After Liu Yi received the news from Rong Ri, he immediately went to visit Ah Hao and persuaded him to find a professional drug rehabilitation center. However, both Ah Hao and Xiao Hui disagreed because they were afraid of attracting the attention of the police. If that happened, Ah Hao would not be able to mend his ways in the future. Liu Yi saw that Ah Hao and his friends were so persistent and it was difficult to say anything, so he pulled Rong Ri away.

"Why are you leaving? We're also encouraging Ah Hao." Rong Ri didn't understand why Hua Di wanted to pull him away. "Let's find a drug rehabilitation center. We can't go on like this. Without scientific methods, Ah Hao might not be able to make it, and he'll easily relapse. Several private drug rehabilitation centers have opened in Hong Kong in the past two years. Let's find one. It should be possible to avoid reporting to the police." Liu Yi expressed his thoughts. Rong Ri agreed with the idea and immediately took Hua Di with him to explore the private drug rehabilitation centers.

They checked out several drug rehabilitation centers, but either the facilities were poor and unprofessional, or they had a reporting system in place with the police. They absolutely couldn't let Ah Hao go to one of those. The fees were a minor issue; the key was to avoid anything that could get Ah Hao into trouble. Just as they were about to move on to the next one, Liu Yi received a pager from Seventh Brother. "I heard you were looking for a drug rehabilitation center. I'll give you an address. Go over there. It should meet your requirements," Seventh Brother said directly after the call was connected.

The two of them came to a village in Xinjie. Rong Ri looked at the environment outside and felt that it was not as good as the one they had been to before, so he wanted to take Hua Di back to the previous one to discuss it again. However, Liu Yi felt that Qi Ge would not be so unreliable as to make a casual introduction. He must have his reasons, so he insisted on going to see it first. Liu Yi knocked on the door, and a dark, burly man opened it and asked, "What's going on?" Liu Yi was taken aback, thinking it was He Shangsheng. However, this man was older, likely in his fifties. Without giving it much thought, he said, "Hello, my name is Huadi. Brother Qi sent me here. I have a friend who needs to get off drugs, and we came to see you ahead of time." "Hello, my name is Chen Hua, or you can call me Mao Dunhua. Come in and take a look. If Brother Qi sent you here, I think my place would be a good fit for your friend." Rong Ri and Liu Yi went inside for a look. Rong Ri, after all, was a top student and had grown up in privilege. He had no idea what life was like for the lower classes. Although he had been in prison, he had been well protected. Only after entering this place did he truly understand that drug users were no longer human. He witnessed several people quietly gardening when their drug addiction suddenly hit. The sheer frenzy of the experience had truly opened his eyes to the methods used by the drug rehabilitation center. Of course, Rong Ri could understand the staff's rudeness, because without being rude, it was impossible to stop the drug addiction.

During the visit, Liu Yi already knew this was a character from the film "The Drug Commandment." Chan Wah, nicknamed Mao Dunhua, was once the leader of the Tsz Wan Shan Thirteen Tigers and a mid-level drug trafficker in Kowloon Walled City. To say he was a ruthless criminal would be an understatement. He would even sell his wife for money and would often abuse her when things went wrong. Hong Kong law would have slapped him in the face with at least 40 years in prison, but the situation in Kowloon Walled City at the time was so limited that the police couldn't intervene. Later, after being caught running drugs without his brother's knowledge by the gang, he embarked on a thrilling escape, but was eventually apprehended. Fortunately, he was released from prison after only a few years. Following the death of his father and the disappearance of his wife, Ke Rou, Chan Wah, overcome with remorse, suddenly realized his past mistakes and resolved to turn over a new leaf. Witnessing the devastation of drug abuse, Chan Wah, by chance, met a staff member at a drug rehabilitation center. Encouraged by his staff, he joined the center and actively participated in its rehabilitation efforts. Through his inspiration and hard work, he saved many families and was recognized as one of Hong Kong's Ten Outstanding Young People. Combined with his high ranking in the underworld (other high-ranking brothers were either dead or gone), he frequently intervened in underworld disputes, earning him the respect of both the black and white factions. Mao Dunhua, who committed numerous crimes in the first half of his life, was able to repent and actively devote himself to drug rehabilitation in the second half, a move truly worthy of respect.

After Rong Ri and Liu Yi finished the tour, Mao Dunhua said, "You have also seen the environment here. We don't have the best conditions, but each of us will try our best to help those who need drug rehabilitation. Every year, hundreds of people successfully quit drugs here, and relapse is rare. If you have money, you can donate freely. If you don't have money, it doesn't matter. We will not give up on anyone who wants to quit drugs. You all know the process specifications. Since you were introduced by Brother Qi, I also understand your identity. As long as you are really willing to quit drugs, I can not report it to the police. If you think it's okay, you can ask your friends to come over at any time, but I have to say it first, if you don't really want to quit drugs, don't come. Our funds are also very tight. We hope to spend the money on people who really need help with drug rehabilitation." When Mao Dunhua heard that they were introduced by Brother Qi, he knew that they were also children of the underworld. He also knew what kind of gangsters in the underworld were, so he spoke very directly. "Brother Hua, no problem. We will send my friend here in a while. He has been detoxifying himself for two days. I believe he will be successful after coming to you." Liu Yi agreed to Mao Dunhua without discussing it with Rong Ri, and then asked Rong Ri to donate 100,000 yuan first.

"You agreed without even consulting me, and even asked me to donate 100,000 yuan. Are they reliable?" Rong Ri, though dissatisfied, still paid the money and complained to Liu Yi after he was released. "Don't worry, I trust him. You don't know him, but I've been released. He's a real gangster, very famous in the 1970s. He and his brothers all took drugs. Look, they're all fine now, right? Don't worry, leave Ah Hao to him," Liu Yi assured him, patting his chest. Then, he and Rong Ri brought Ah Hao over. Xiao Hui, worried about Ah Hao, wanted to come along, but Rong Ri didn't let her come because he was afraid the other addicts at the drug rehabilitation center would hurt her. Finally, Liu Yi, worried that Ma Chao would hurt Xiao Hui, arranged for Xiao Hui to stay in a hotel closer to the police station and notified Ah Hao's father and sister to take care of her.
