Romance of Gods

Chapter 39 Before the End
The battle between the United Hall and the branch intensified, and the dark smoke centered on Longjin Road filled the entire city.

It started with pistol shooting, but around [-] a.m., the two families opened fire, and submachine guns and automatic rifles joined the conflict.

There were crazy bursts of gunfire, mixed with a few bursts of grenades, and the entire peninsula was filled with inexplicable fear.

Too many people are afraid of harming Chi Yu and are running frantically to Hong Kong Island.

This also resulted in Chen Yan not finding an empty taxi after leaving the city.

By the time he got on the ferry to Victoria Harbor in Hung Hom, it was already close to 10:30.

Chen Yan pressed his back against the side of the ship and squeezed together with the conductor.

Depressed faces intertwined on the deck, carrying the unique anxiety of an era.

The little girl holding a snakeskin bag bumped into Chen Yan. She timidly lowered her head and said sorry for being drowned in the noise, but Chen Yan keenly recognized that it was a familiar local accent.

He looked towards the sea. Maybe he should go back to his hometown where he had been away for a long time. Maybe he could see his parents when they were still young.

Disembark at eleven o'clock.

11:30, clears.

Chen Yan walked around Victoria Harbor, removing the poor picture quality from old movies.

Although high-definition Hong Kong in the late 60s was chaotic, it could not conceal the prosperity of the metropolis.

According to the information told by Sister Ya, it didn't take long for Chen Yan to find the cinema where Yan Xiong and his mistress were going.

Not as hard to find as imagined.

Although it is not yet the golden age of Hong Kong movies, the film industry has begun to explode.

As a movie released last month, "Divorce" was not a stellar box office performance, and it has entered the end of its life.

There was only one cinema near Victoria Park that was still showing the film, and Chen Yan was sitting on a bench next to a street lamp.

He looked at the endless flow of people, the towering tall buildings, and the white pigeons flying beside the fountain, and began to wait.

Two in the afternoon.

Thanks to Chen Yan's advance notice, Xinghong and others evacuated the central area of ​​the battlefield in advance.

Centered around the dilapidated apartment, several nearby lanes are filled with mahjong tables and bustling with people.

One step away, artillery fire was raging, and one step away, a wall was built.

"Hey, I heard that the United Hall and the branch associations fought so fiercely that they even blew up the Fulong Building!"

"It's impossible! How many Buddhas are sitting in the building? Even if the sky falls, they won't!"

boom!Explosion!
"Fuck, yes, yes! Give me money!"

Agua put his feet on the chair, collected a handful of bills, licked his fingers, and started counting them proudly.

"Hey, Brother Gua, Brother Yan is really a god. If he hadn't asked us to withdraw, we would have become cannon fodder!"

Agua raised his chin and said loudly: "Of course! Brother Yan is so good at predicting things! Today the United Hall and the Branch Association are dead, and we will be the bosses from now on!"

Someone walked over anxiously, "Hey, Agua, you're still playing here! Sister Thirteen has been looking for you for a long time!"

"Fuck! You take my place first!"

Agua stuffed the banknotes into his arms, jumped out, walked through the streets and alleys, and hurried to the apartment.

The continuous sound of gunfire caused the apartment to tremble slightly, the walls showed fine lines, and wisps of fine lime powder kept falling.

Thirteenth sister sat on the chair where Chen Yan once sat, looking calmly at the door, distracted.

Bang, Agua opened the door and walked in, Dui smiled and said: "Sister Thirteen, what are you looking for me for?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you." Thirteenth sister looked at him and shouted in a deep voice: "Where is Brother Yan!"

Agua's body trembled, and when he saw Thirteenth Sister's serious expression, he couldn't help but shudder.

In less than ten days, Thirteenth Sister's temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. It seems that the former kind and friendly Thirteenth Sister can no longer be seen.

"Brother Yan asked me to find someone to inform Mr. Xiao Shu that I wanted to meet him at Longjin Road. I wonder where he is now!"

"Push! If you don't tell me earlier, I'll listen!"

There was a muffled sound and the seat shook. Thirteenth sister quickly stood up and paced anxiously in the room.

Longjin Road is the center of the artillery fire, if Chen Yan is still there.

"It's impossible...Brother Yan can fight and is smart, so he must be fine..."

Just as she was thinking about it, Sister Ya knocked on the door and walked in.

Thirteenth sister saw her, but had no intention of talking to her. She waved her hand and said, "I know, Sister Ya wants to leave the city, but it's too dangerous now. I'll find someone to take you away when peace prevails."

"No need, Thirteen." Sister Ya straightened her body and stared at her quietly, her tone no longer flattering, "I know where Chen Yan is."

"Tell me!"

Thirteenth sister was in a strange mood.

"Remember the man named Yan the last time we came to the Walled City?"

"Of course, Mr. Yan, sir..."

Thirteenth sister was stunned, as if she had realized something.

Bang bang bang, Thirteenth sister quickly went downstairs, looking anxious, "Agua, help me find a car!"

"What's the car, Thirteenth Sister?"

"Motorcycle, Chixian, if you can find a Rolls-Royce, I can drive it!"

"Okay, Thirteenth Sister!"

As soon as Thirteenth Sister walked out of the corridor, an embarrassed middle-aged man suddenly rushed over.

The people in the alley were quick-sighted and 30 people came forward and pushed him to the ground.

"Thirteen! You can't do this to me! I helped you get rid of those old guys, you should reuse me! Reuse me!"

The man was pushed to the ground and yelled.

Thirteenth sister's heart sank, and she waved her hand and said: "Hey, Uncle Tai, it's hard for me to do what you say. You are causing civil strife for yourself. Those people look down on you, so you are seeking personal revenge. Oh, pull him down and press Help him deal with it, I don’t want to see him again.”

"Yes, Miss Thirteen."

"You... um..."

"Sister Thirteen, the car has been found!" Sister Thirteen was anxious and said to herself: "Push into the street, you make such a big move, be sure nothing happens..."

Afternoon, two fifty.

Six black Mercedes-Benz cars stopped in front of the cinema. Yan Xiong took a girl in a white dress and got out of the car.

Then, other car doors opened, and twenty bodyguards in suits and ties stepped out of the car and escorted the two people to the theater. The remaining two people stood guard in front of the door with stern expressions.

The audience began to enter the venue one after another, and no one could escape the two men's body search.

"stop!"

Just as the man with his head lowered was about to rush into the theater, two bodyguards immediately blocked the door and looked at him warily, "Turn around!"

After careful inspection, he found that the man didn't even have a needle on him, so the bodyguard stepped aside and put him into the theater. "Hey, the man who just came in, keep an eye on him."

Putting down the walkie-talkies, the two bodyguards began the next round of inspections.

The theater was dark, and occasionally bursts of laughter or sobs broke out from various auditoriums.

After checking the tickets, the man moved quickly in the corridor. Feeling the sharp attention coming from every corner, he lowered his head and cursed secretly.

"Be careful, that man has gone to Hall [-], don't let him get close to Mr. Yan."

"receive."

The sparse audience in Hall [-] was waiting for the movie to start. The girl leaned on Yan Xiong's shoulder, and the fluorescent screen illuminated her depressed face.

"What's the matter, baby?"

Yan Xiong looked at her with a smile, put his arm around her shoulders, and played with the delicate curly hair on her earlobes.

"Darling, it's such a mess here."

"A little more chaos makes it interesting."

"Um……"

The girl pushed away Yan Xiong's face, curled her lips and said, "No."

Across an aisle, the man who walked into the screening room with his head lowered sat down seven or eight seats away from Yan Xiong and the others.He listened carefully and realized that what Yan Xiong was saying was just some words to deceive children, such as getting divorced after a while, buying you a diamond ring tomorrow, covering the double bed with rose petals, and so on.

He smiled contemptuously, bent down slightly, and groped under the seat.

The bodyguards standing guard around noticed his movements, gestured at the same time, and quietly approached him.

"found it……"

He breathed a sigh of relief and took out the things he had hidden in the theater in advance.

Seeing the dark thing, the bodyguards immediately became nervous, "Mr. Yan! Be careful!"

Deng!Deng!Deng!
"I love you...yeah!"

Yan Xiong was horrified when he saw his men rising up and running away not far from his seat.

"What's the matter! Darling!"

The girl's face turned purple from holding back, and Yan Xiong grabbed her collar and lifted her up, protecting her in front of him like a shield.

"I'm a reporter! A reporter for a daily newspaper!"

The man was pushed to the ground by the bodyguards and raised his arms high. The dangerous object was just a camera.

There was a commotion in the theater, and the audience cast suspicious glances and whispered among themselves.

"Nothing."

Yan Xiong put the girl down, his face was ashen, and there was a thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

He took two long breaths, picked up the frightened girl, stood up and walked out, "Go home."

The two quickly walked out of the screening room, and a bodyguard came to greet them, bowing and saying: "Please follow me."

Yan Xiong's heart was beating hard, he turned around and loosened his silk tie, and followed the bodyguard out quickly.

In a daze, a group of three people came to a strange and dim corridor. The girl frowned and asked, "Darling, what is the way out?"

The heavy footsteps suddenly stopped, and there were only heavy breathing sounds in the secluded corner. The voice calling "Mr. Yan" kept ringing nearby.

Yan Xiong stared at the figure standing in front of him, put his palms into his arms, and held the girl tightly with one hand, keeping his shield ready at any time.

"You are……"

Before he finished speaking, the bodyguard turned around.

The silver light bloomed coldly, and blood flew everywhere.

Yan Xiong's eyes were round, his body slowly fell down, and his remaining consciousness was filled with doubts.

Why kill yourself?Who is he?

The girl's cheeks were warm, her mouth was wide open, and she was still brewing a scream. A huge palm flew over to cover her face and choked her to the ground.

Taking off his suit and covering the two of them, Chen Yan took out the jacket he kept in his pocket, put it on his body, and strode out of the cinema, passing by the panicked bodyguards on the way.

Five p.m.

The fierce battle between the United Hall and the wards came to an end around four o'clock, with both groups suffering heavy casualties.

The bustling Longjin Road was almost turned into a sieve by the fierce artillery fire, but the Fulong Building remained standing.

Immediately, the heavily armed Hong Kong police surrounded the walled city and began to wrap up this fierce and bloody battle to capture the dying fish that slipped through the net.

If nothing goes wrong, the major and good news about the annihilation of the Kowloon Walled City Society tomorrow will appear on the headlines of major newspapers.

Because she was under interrogation, Thirteenth Sister was delayed for a long time before she left the city on her motorcycle.

It was getting late, and in the evening after a long rain, the clouds covering the entire sky were broken into tiles.

Under the halo of the setting sun, the color of the clouds appears gradient.

Thirteenth sister held the handle of the car tightly with both hands, looking anxious, and the crowded coastline had appeared in her field of vision.

"Push to the street...don't let anything happen to you..."

She murmured nervously, and when the clouds above her head turned from black to blue, her eyes changed from surprise to joy, "Hey! Brother Yan!"

Chen Yan squeezed out of the crowd and was walking in her direction. She turned the accelerator and the motorcycle wheels roared.

Just as she was feeling relieved, seven or eight patrol policemen suddenly drove out of the crowd on motorcycles and drove towards Chen Yan.

"Hem home shovel!"

The tires made a big circle on the ground, and the car turned around and stopped next to Chen Yan.

"Why don't you ride a motorcycle? I'm not very good at riding a motorcycle!"

Chen Yan glanced at her and said, "Your driving skills are very good."

Thirteenth sister glanced at the patrol police who were chasing after her, and yelled: "Push to the street! Just do it if I ask you to do so!"

Chen Yan smiled, said nothing, and got on the car. When Thirteenth Sister tightened her arms around his waist, the motorcycle began to move against the wind.

There was a long queue of oncoming taxis, and the motorcycles moved nimbly in the traffic like butterflies in flowers.

The sirens behind him were piercing. Thirteen looked back and urged: "Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"Warning! Please stop the car immediately! Otherwise we will shoot immediately!"

"Warning! Please park the car immediately! Otherwise, we will shoot immediately!"

"Speak in the language of birds!"

Thirteenth sister looked at Chen Yan's back and suddenly felt at ease. She hugged him tightly and closed her eyes.

"Don't park, Brother Yan..."

Before she could finish her words, bang bang bang, a gunshot suddenly rang out behind her, and hot bullets hit the car body, sending sparks flying everywhere.

"Brother Yan...I seem to have been shot..."

"What does it feel like to be shot?"

"It's so strange...it doesn't hurt at all, I don't feel anything..."

"Brother Yan...I have something to say, please listen..."

"What?"

"I fell in love with you...at first sight..."

Chen Yan looked at the road ahead, his calm eyes flashing with excitement, "Yeah."

There was another burst of violent gunfire, and with a bang, the vehicle fell to the ground, and the two people were thrown to the ground. The patrol police stepped forward and handcuffed the two people.

"Hey...Brother Yan, didn't they catch us?"

Chen Yan laughed, "I'm a good citizen, why are you arresting me?"

"Then they?"

"Catch the robbers."

Thirteenth sister's eyes shone brightly, and she touched her dry back with her backhand, "I wasn't shot either!"

Chen Yan shook his head and smiled, "Of course not. Do you think this is a movie and you will die from the pain if you get shot?"

Thirteenth sister's mood fluctuated greatly. First her face turned red, then she pressed her forehead against Chen Yan's back and burst into tears.

"I thought...I thought..."

"You thought I was going to die."

"Bah! Bah! Bah! No, it's just my imagination..."

Thirteenth sister wiped away her tears, and the motorcycle drove away from the crowded road. The two of them were wrapped in the wind and drove towards the golden and brilliant end of the clouds.

Relying on Chen Yan's broad back, Thirteenth Sister had time to enjoy the rare comfort these days, "Brother Yan, are you hungry? I'll treat you to wanton noodles."

Chen Yan nodded, "Okay."
