Hong Kong film: People in Wo Luen Shing, summoning the King of Fighters.

Halfway there, seeing that Weiss was clutching her shoulder and frowning, "370" had the car driven to the hospital for bandaging. After the bandaging, Weiss deliberately walked with Chen Jialuo and asked him, "Why didn't you say anything to me?"

Chen Jialuo glanced at her and asked, "You like being talked about so much?"

Weiss remained silent. She had expected to be scolded like Maxima, but to her surprise, she wasn't.

Chen Jialuo said, "I am a person who clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments. If it is your fault, I will say something. If it is not your fault, why should I say anything to you?"

Weiss hummed in agreement and said, "Okay."

During the meal, Maxima and the others didn't talk much to Weiss. Chen Jialuo, being such a smart person, naturally knew that they had secretly divided into three factions.

One group is led by Maxima and Billy the Mad Dog, and the other by Iori Yagami, with Vice and Mature among them. Then there's the centrist group led by Ryuji Yamazaki, who usually doesn't speak, and when they do, it's mostly to mediate.

For Chen Jialuo, it wasn't important that his subordinates were divided into factions; what mattered was that they all acted according to his wishes. Factionalism and political infighting have existed since ancient times, and no one can avoid them.

After all, wherever there are people, there is a social hierarchy; all he can do is make good use of it.

One day, Chen Jialuo went to the Sharp Corner on business and took the opportunity to visit Wei Si's branch.

Weiss's branch was located in an old alley, and from the outside, it was unremarkable. Only a few young people, all dressed impeccably in suits, would come and go; an unsuspecting passerby might mistake it for some foreign company. Those in the know understood that it wasn't a foreign company at all, but rather a branch of the prestigious Hong Kong triad, the Wo Shing Society.

He was dressed so formally because he was associated with Chan Ka-lok, the boss of Causeway Bay in the Luen Shing Society. Chan Ka-lok liked his henchmen to dress properly. And the leader of the gang from the Sharp Corner was one of Chan Ka-lok's top lieutenants.

Although he started working independently, he continued to follow Chen Jialuo's rules.

The alley was narrow, only wide enough for one car to pass at a time. The driver's henchman wanted to take Chen Jialuo directly to the gang headquarters, but Chen Jialuo refused, worried that encountering other cars in the alley would cause a traffic jam and create trouble.

Chen Jialu waved his hand, telling the driver and his henchmen to find a place to park, while he opened the car door and headed towards the gang.

The entrance to the main hall wasn't large, only about 2 meters wide. It consisted of one or two sliding wooden doors, each 8 centimeters thick. The head of the front hall, with its pointed corner, was a rascal who loved nothing but wood.

This wooden door was specially made by him, and it took a lot of time and money. Even if he runs out of money one day, he can cut down this wooden door and still sell it for over ten thousand yuan.

He was wearing sunglasses, his hands in his pockets, and the short, stocky men passing by rarely saw him, especially with those sunglasses on. They were only briefly attracted by his tall, handsome figure before looking away.

Some might wonder, what is this person doing here? He's probably some rich young master who doesn't know the ways of this place.

When Chen Jialuo arrived at the gate of the brothel, he strode inside, but the two short mules guarding the entrance immediately blocked his way, shouting, "Who are you? Is this a place for you? Come in!"

"Get out of here! Get out of here! Don't block the way."

Chen Jialuo ripped off his sunglasses and said to them, "This isn't a place for me. Who is?"

As soon as the sunglasses were removed, the two short mules froze, then looked at each other. One of the slightly taller mules exclaimed in disbelief, "Lo... Brother Lo?"

Chen Jialuo put on sunglasses. "It's me."

He thought to himself, "Thank goodness, it's an old man. If it were a newcomer who didn't recognize me, I'd be in big trouble."

4.7 The two short mules immediately ran forward, their faces full of embarrassment, showing a regretful and apologetic expression. They pleaded in unison, "Brother Luo, we were blind to your greatness. Please don't blame us."

Seeing their trembling fear, Chen Jialuo found it amusing. When did his reputation become so great that even his own people were afraid of him? Suddenly, he thought of his other bosses, some of whom hadn't even been recognized by their short, stocky subordinates and were immediately kicked. No wonder these two were scared.

Chen Jialuo waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Is your boss inside?"

Chapter 388 Weiss, You're Sick

The taller of the two mules was a bit more clever than the shorter one, and quickly replied, "I didn't see the boss go out; she should be in the reception hall. It seems this is your first time here; let me show Brother Luo the way."

Chen Jialuo said, "No need, I can go in by myself."

With that, he stepped inside.

This wasn't his first time visiting the Screaming Gang; he'd come once or twice before when Chick was in charge. Back then, Chick always treated him to meals when he wanted to collaborate on projects.

But he looked down on Chui Chi, a guy even more slovenly than Hung Hing's Brother Kei. Chan Ka-lok had seen him pick his nose and eat it more than once. He also liked to rub his hands between his legs constantly when he had nothing to do, which made Chan Ka-lok physically nauseous. But when Chui Chi died, Chan Ka-lok was still sad for a second, for Chui Chi's backbone. Before killing him, Gang Tsai Tai had given him several chances; if he had agreed to cooperate, he wouldn't have died.

As it turned out, even the chicken's beak bones were too hard to bend, and it refused, so it was thrown downstairs and died. Chen Jialuo still expressed admiration for this.

If he had known earlier, he might have considered collaborating with Chuiji. But Chuiji is dead, so that's something for another life.

Chen Jialu strolled leisurely through the courtyard, encountering some low-level thugs along the way. They merely glanced at him, assuming he was from the same gang as them, just a newcomer.

He arrived at the reception hall without any hindrance. This reception hall was no smaller than the reception hall of his own temple, and in the center was a shrine to Guan Yu.

Three incense sticks were stuck in the incense burner in front of the shrine; the incense had not yet burned out, and the air was still filled with its fragrance. Directly opposite the shrine was a square, black-lacquered, red-wood chair.

On its left and right sides, below, are four chairs of the same material, but noticeably smaller than the main chair. Between the chairs is a small table for placing items.

Behind these four chairs were two rows of black benches, placed close together. Everyone in the church would only gather here when there was something important to announce.

At this moment, only Weiss was in the hall. She was sitting in the second chair on the left, with her legs crossed, reading a book in her hand.

As Chen Jialuo turned the page, he happened to see the title, "Jane Eyre." His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; he never expected Weiss to be interested in such a book.

Although he was a military enthusiast and not interested in world classics, he did know "Jane Eyre," a book about love.

One of the most famous lines is: "You think I'm poor? Am I not beautiful? Do I lack feelings? If God had bestowed upon me beauty and wealth, I would make it as hard for you to leave me as it is for me to leave you now!"

Chen Jialuo couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Weiss had fallen in love? Who could make an iron tree bloom? He was very curious, but quickly put that curiosity aside and walked up to Weiss.

But Weiss was so engrossed in the world of the book that she didn't notice his arrival until she turned the page and was startled to see the person standing in front of her—Chen Jialuo.

She was startled and, without saying a word, swung her arm and threw a punch.

Chen Jialuo dodged to the left, and Weiss's fist grazed his ear, missing its mark, but the powerful gust of wind from the punch still entered his ear, making a whooshing sound.

He glared at her and said, "You, Weiss, I came to see you out of kindness, and instead of being grateful, you punched me."

Weiss glared at her and said, "Serves you right for being like a ghost, coming without making a sound." But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it, feeling that she had been too presumptuous.

Feeling down, she realized her relationship with Chen Jialuo was just that of a superior and subordinate, unlike her relationships with Mai Shiranui and Leona. Why was she using that tone?

Chen Jialuo didn't take her crossing the line to heart. He plopped down on the chair next to her, picked up a peeled tangerine from the table with his left hand, and put it in his mouth.

When Weiss saw his actions, a slight blush rose to her cheeks. She had just bitten into the tangerine, but feeling too full, she put it back in.

But now that Chen Jialuo had eaten, she wondered wildly if this counted as an indirect kiss. Ugh! It's all Chen Jialuo's fault for eating so fast; she didn't even have time to say anything.

The tangerines were very sweet, and Chen Jialuo ate them with gusto, his mouth full of juice. He chewed them and looked at her, saying, "You were so engrossed in your book that you have the nerve to blame me. If it were an enemy, they would have stabbed you through the neck in one go, and you wouldn't even have a chance to react. If you can't avoid this situation, you should keep your trusted confidants by your side to guard the gate for you."

Weiss's face was still red, and as she looked at him, her tone unconsciously softened, "Ah, I understand."

Chen Jialuo had never seen her like this before. Usually, when he spoke, nine out of eight sentences Wei Si would look defiant, but now she was blushing.

He said, "Wes, are you sick?"

Chapter 389 Chen Jialuo was stunned, Cool Sister Weiss

Weiss took a deep breath, and the blush on her face and the shyness in her heart all disappeared. "This disease of the devil! Damn it." She muttered to herself, "Chen Jialuo, you're like a wild boar that can't eat fine chaff, damn it."

Seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, and since it was almost lunchtime, Chen Jialuo asked her, "Want to go get something to eat?"

Weiss asked instinctively, "Who else are you inviting?"

Chen Jialuo gave her a strange look, suddenly feeling that Vice liked him. But he also thought it was unlikely, since in King of Fighters, Vice had always partnered with Mature and had never been with anyone else.

He always thought that Weiss, being the "cool girl" type, didn't like men. But it's also possible that he didn't have romantic feelings for Weiss, so he didn't think about it that way.

Weiss, of course, sensed his strange expression, and said casually, "Don't get the wrong idea. I was just asking casually. You know I hate crowds."

Chen Jialuo thought about it and realized it seemed to be true. Whenever Wei Si was with them, she was quite silent, mostly just drinking and eating. Occasionally, she would utter a few words, as if speaking was very difficult for her.

He said, "This time, I'm only inviting you."

Weiss smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go change my clothes."

Chen Jialuo didn't quite understand, "It's just a meal, why do you need to change clothes?"

Weiss glared at him and said, "I want to change, don't worry about it, I'll be quick."

Chen Jialuo shrugged and said, "Okay~".

Fifteen minutes later, Weiss emerged wearing a beige trench coat over a tight black turtleneck sweater, black skinny jeans, and a pair of black Doc Martens.

She wore small diamond stud earrings and sunglasses, revealing half of her face. Her outfit was a cool, edgy look, more feminine than her previous style, making her instantly recognizable as a woman.

Chen Jialuo stared at it, completely mesmerized. He was surrounded by many beautiful women, but none of them possessed this cool and edgy style. At this moment, he felt that Vice's beauty was no less than Mature's or Leona's.

Even the half of her chin that was exposed looked so delicate and beautiful. She was wearing a turtleneck sweater, but a section of her fair neck was also showing.

Wow, her neck is so long, like a swan's.

For the first time, Chen Jialuo's eyes flashed with amazement. Weiss, of course, saw it too. She was very satisfied with Chen Jialuo's performance and couldn't suppress her secret joy, but said somewhat reservedly, "Come on, why are you looking at me?"

Chen Jialuo touched his nose and said "Oh," then, "Let's go, this is your territory. Have you decided where to eat?"

Weiss said, "There's a barbecue restaurant on this street that's pretty good."

Chen Jialuo said, "Then let's eat there."

Upon arriving at the barbecue restaurant, Chen Jialuo ordered a plate of chicken feet, five plates of pork belly, three plates of beef, and some vegetables, and then asked Wei Si what she wanted to eat.

Wei Si added a pig brain and a plate of chicken roots. She asked Chen Jialuo if he wanted to drink. Chen Jialuo said yes and grabbed a case of beer.

This barbecue restaurant is self-service. The owner put two baskets of charcoal in the stove under the table, and the grill plate on top started to steam. Weiss skillfully took a can of cooking oil from the table and poured it on. Soon, the owner brought out the food, and Weiss poured it onto the grill plate, constantly turning it with her chopsticks.

She said, "This kind of barbecue is better than the one I had last time. It's always hot, although it's a bit of a hassle to grill it yourself."

Chen Jialuo glanced at the charcoal fire and said, "This looks like pine charcoal."

That one sentence caught the owner's attention. The owner smiled, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "This owner really knows his stuff! This is definitely pine charcoal. It was troublesome and expensive for me to get it, but it was totally worth it. When you use it to grill meat, the meat is infused with the aroma of pine. People who like it will eat several plates!"
