Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 2 2: Brother Kaname, trouble!
The prosperity of Hong Kong Island in the 50s was comparable to that of Greater Shanghai in the 40s.

Night falls,

There are many shops on the street,

Herbal tea sellers, porridge shops, tea restaurants, etc.
There are basically diners sitting inside and consuming.

Occasionally, police officers can be seen chasing gangsters on the road.

Hong Kong Island’s population has been on hormones in the past two years.
It suddenly increased by more than 100 million.

When there are more people, there are more things to do.
However, Hong Kong Island has just regained its glory.

A lot of order is being re-established,

The police force has not been restored,
I really can't take care of the newly added citizens.
The result is black and white disorder,
Many people compare this era to Shanghai Beach.
Because the two are so similar to a certain extent.

At that time, Shanghai Beach welcomed celebrities and wealthy businessmen from all over the country.
Today, Hong Kong Island has received countless wealthy businessmen and celebrities who fled south.

The wealth and talents contained therein have given this small fishing village great opportunities.

Gao Yao looked at the night scene with a smile,

"Be a policeman? Be a thief?"

He muttered to himself,

"Being a tycoon, of course."

The minibus stopped at Canal Road in Wan Chai near the West Gooseneck Bridge.
Beyond this place is the sea,
It's still early to become land.

But in later generations,
This Gooseneck Bridge is a famous place for beating villains.

Just pay 50 yuan,
Grandma will help you fight villains and drive away bad luck.
When he beats the villain, he would mutter something like: "I'll beat you on the head, until you're breathless! I'll beat you on the feet, until you can't walk without shoes!"

Gao Yao stood up and raised his hands.

"Master, congratulations on getting rich."

The driver was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

"Get rich, get rich."

Although Gao Yao was sweating profusely,

The spirit is good,

He stepped out of the minibus and frowned slightly after taking only a few steps.

On the Gooseneck Bridge not far away, two people were leaning on the railing and smoking.

His name is Gao Jin,
A distinguished guest,
He is a friend Gao Yao met after he came to Hong Kong Island.

Everyone has the same temperament,

And they all have the surname Gao.

Playing naturally is very good.

Gao Jin and Gao Yao also saw him.

They quickly ran down the gooseneck bridge,
running and shouting,

"Brother Kaname, it's a disaster."

"Guantai was detained by Dong Fuhe's people. He asked for 1 yuan, otherwise he would be extorted."

Guantai’s surname is Lei.

He was a Dan family boy who was born and raised on the ship.
At the age of 7,
His father fell ill and died.

Because the family has lost its mainstay,
Lei's mother can't support Tingzi alone.
Then he took the boat ashore,
I found a place to live in Wan Chai and start a new life.

This place is the West Gooseneck Bridge!

Last year, Gao Yao came through and fell into the sea.

It was Lei Guantai and his mother who picked him up.

Later, Gao Yao had nowhere to go.
I can't afford to rent a house,
So he shamelessly squeezed into a room with Lei Guantai.

"Where is the third aunt?"

The third aunt is Lei Mu,

His original name was Liu San,
According to the customs of Hong Kong people at that time,
Her name is Lei Liusan now,
Gao Yao and others always respectfully call her third aunt.

Gao Jin said,

"Third aunt went to collect money."

The Lei family has lived on Hong Kong Island for three generations.

My ancestors were all Dan people.

Relatives too,

These are the only people Lei Liusan can borrow money from.

Gao Bin said angrily,

"Dong Fu and these gangsters are relying on Liu Fu's prestige to do evil. Mother Lei, how could Artai get into trouble with them?"

"Fuck, I can't fight with them anymore."

At that time, the most prestigious among the Chinese policemen on Hong Kong Island was Yao Mu.

He is an expert in solving crimes.

He has won the trust of Gui Lao and was just transferred to the newly established Corruption Eradication Department this year to take charge of anti-corruption.
in history,
In 49, he will be promoted to Chief Inspector of the Prime Minister's criminal investigation work in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories!

The following Inspector Zonghua was all because Yao Mu planted the sycamore tree.

So I was able to enjoy the cool weather.

Below Yao Mu is Liu Fu.
How much influence does this person have?
for example,

It was under his initiative that the police station worship Guan Gong became popular.

The Dongfuhe mentioned by Gao Bin is a society established by a group of coolies from Dongguan with the support of Liu Fu.
After these coolies had Liu Fu as their backer,
Then it started to run rampant,
They also competed for the interests of the Triangle Pier at the beginning and then expanded to smoking stalls, gambling stalls, prostitutes' villages, etc.

"It's no use talking bullshit."

Dongfuhe is not terrible,
The scary thing is Liu Fu behind it.
They have money in their hands and are supported by a landlord.

Gao Yao knew that he couldn't offend others at all.
He thought as he walked,
A name suddenly appeared in his mind,
"Did Guantai go to high school at Huangren Academy?"

Gao Bin thought carefully,

"Yes, it's Huangren Academy."

Gao Yao had a smile on his face,

Wong Yan College is a famous school on Hong Kong Island.
Many very powerful alumni have emerged from it,
For example, Sun Yat-sen, Liao Zhongkai, Robert Ho Tung, Lee Hysan, Stanley Ho, etc.

By coincidence,

Gao Yao remembers that there was a man who just graduated from Queen's College last year and entered the police force!

"Ajin, go find Third Aunt and come back. Tell him about this and I will figure out a solution."

"Tell her not to rush."

Gao Yao is equivalent to being a second-generation person.
And it comes from the era of information explosion in later generations.
His knowledge is far beyond the present,
Since he came over,

In just a few days, he became the leader of this small group by virtue of his visual knowledge.
Now when he speaks,

Gao Jin and Gao Bin both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll go."

Gao Bin asked,

"Brother, what should I do?"

"Call Lei Luo and see if he is in the ward. If not, ask where he might have gone, and then we will go find him."

Lei Luo is also a policeman,

He joined the police force in 1940.
At first, he was a police officer in the uniformed patrol team.

Soon after he was transferred to detective,

Currently stationed at the miscellaneous ward (police station),
He is somewhat related to Lei Guantai,
We all had dinner together before.

Lei Luo was just a small character at that time;
Gao Yao didn't think he could handle Dong Fuhe's matter.
Even if it can be done,
It is also very easy to offend Liu Fu.

It may not be a good thing for Lei Luo.

Of course, Gao Yao, who always does everything in his work, would not do things like this.

While they were talking, Gao Yao and Gao Bin had already walked to Rui Ru grocery store.

This store was opened in 1943.
It was opened by more than a dozen relatives of the Lei family who pooled their money.
The actual manager is Lei Guantai.

"I want brother."

The person guarding the store is Lei Guantai’s wife Yanni.

She held her 3-year-old daughter Lei Liping by the hand.

Gao Yao smiled and comforted,

"Sister-in-law, it's okay."

"Abin?"

Gao Bin said quickly,
"Sister-in-law, let me borrow the phone."

Even though Yanni’s daughter is already 3 years old,

In fact, she is only 20 years old now,
Here we have to criticize the decadent old system of Hong Kong Island.
It not only promotes early marriage but also supports polygamy,

Hey,
Gao Yao couldn't help but criticize this system every time he thought about it.

"I want brother."

Yanni still couldn't help but worry,
Her eyes were red,

Then he asked timidly,
"Is Artest really going to be fine?"

Gao Yao smiled and picked up Liping.

"Artai is so blessed that everything will be fine."

"Has my little niece eaten it?"

"When dad comes back in the evening, let's have a midnight snack together, okay?"

Liping's milky voice made her breath sound,
"Uncle, it's not possible. Mom said eating at night will cause your teeth to fall out."

"Don't eat it either, it will look ugly then."
