I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

Western District, Hong Kong Island.

The rain poured down relentlessly, and water cascaded down the eaves of the nearby tenement buildings like several curtains of water.

Chen Yuesheng was soaked to the bone, his white teacher's shirt clung to his body, and strands of hair stuck to his forehead, making him look rather disheveled.

She huddled under the eaves of the shop to avoid the rain, cursing the awful weather in her heart, how it could change so suddenly and show no mercy.

But... in the afternoon, Chen Dingkun seemed to have mentioned on the phone that it would rain heavily that night and told her to bring an umbrella.

Unfortunately, she was too angry at the time to remember it.

"It's all his fault for insisting on running for gang leader; it's infuriating!"

Chen Yuesheng sighed softly, watching the lightning suddenly tear through the night sky and then plunge into deeper darkness.

She hesitated, wondering whether she should go to the phone booth on the street corner and call her brother to ask him to pick her up and take her across the harbor to Kowloon to visit her grandfather.

But she had just had a fierce argument with that person that afternoon, and she couldn't bring herself to do it now.

Chen Yuesheng's pride made him unwilling to rely on the power of the Wo Shing Wo organization for everything, just like when he arrested the hoodlum and took him to the police station last time.

She genuinely wanted to break free from the influence of the gang and live an upright life.

Waaah—

Suddenly, the sound of a car engine rang out.

Chen Yuesheng looked up and saw two blinding headlights piercing the dark, rainy night, casting two hazy yet sharp beams of light through the slanting rain.

That was a silver and red Hong Kong taxi!

Chen Yuesheng immediately waved excitedly, wanting to call it over.

The taxi hesitated for a moment in the heavy rain, but eventually drove over.

Chen Yuesheng held his bag above his head to shield himself from the rain and ran to the taxi.

The car window rolled down, revealing a young man in his early twenties. His face was pale, and his single-eyelid eyes looked somewhat empty and dull.

Chen Yuesheng felt uneasy looking into his eyes, but glancing at the torrential rain around them, he still asked:

"Hello, sir, are we going to Kowloon now?"

"I just got back from Kowloon... Never mind, get in the car, I'll give you a ride."

"Thanks!"

Chen Yuesheng thought to himself that this person was actually quite nice.

It was raining heavily late at night. The driver had just finished his shift in Kowloon and was heading home. He was planning to get off work overtime and give me a ride. I was so lucky to meet such a kind person. It seems my luck wasn't so bad today.

She got into the car and found a red-printed canvas backpack on the back seat, with a round, chubby red robot pattern printed on the front.

Chen Yuesheng remembered that many girls at the school had this chubby red robot backpack.

To better understand her students, she did some research and learned that the chubby robot came from the tokusatsu show "Go, Little Lu Bao," which has recently become very popular on television.

However, she unexpectedly discovered that another work by the same author, a story about heroes punishing evil, was more to her liking: Kamen Rider.

"Was this left behind by the previous passenger? She must be a female student, how reckless of her."

As Chen Yuesheng inquired, she casually glanced around the car and noticed the driver's license on the dashboard.

[Name: Lam Kwok-wan...]

Driver Lin Guoyun nodded, then suddenly asked:

How do you know she's a student?

"I'm a teacher, and many of my students have these kinds of backpacks..."

As Chen Yuesheng spoke, he unzipped his backpack.

"I'll see if I can find her student ID, then I'll take this backpack to her school and ask."

"Teacher, you are very dedicated to your students, haha~ You are such a good teacher."

Lin Guoyun watched Chen Yuesheng rummaging through the rearview mirror, his hands on the steering wheel tightening slightly.

"Oh no, I don't have a student ID..."

Upon hearing this, the taut veins on Lin Guoyun's forearm relaxed.

"Students usually keep their IDs at home, right? It's such a coincidence that you put yours in your backpack, haha~"

"But there are workbooks with the school, class, and name on them."

"She's a student from De Lan Girls' School, which is a very famous private girls' school in Hong Kong... I'll ask one of the teachers there tomorrow."

"..."

Lin Guoyun's arms suddenly tensed, and the veins on the side of his neck bulged slightly.

He stared at the road ahead, swallowed by the torrential rain, his eyes vacant and almost cold.

"The rain is getting heavier. I'll speed up and leave Sai Wan so I can get you to your stop as soon as possible."

"Thank you, sir, but I'm not in a hurry. Cars can be slippery in the rain, so please be careful."

Chen Yuesheng also reminded the kind-hearted driver to be careful and not only think about the guests, but also about himself.

However, the next moment, Chen Yuesheng suddenly looked up, pointed ahead, and exclaimed:

"Master, there are people ahead!"

"I'm awesome!"

Lam Kwok-wan slammed on the brakes, and the taxi slid a short distance on the flooded road. Two blinding headlights suddenly focused on the road ahead.

Under the curtain of rain, a young man, soaked to the bone, stood tall and blocked the middle of the road.

The car headlights shone on him, revealing rainwater streaming down his soaked forehead and shoulders, leaving glistening streaks.

"Driver, I need a ride."

Li Chang'an strode over and knocked on the window.

"Get lost! You son of a bitch, blocking the road and stopping cars, are you looking to get yourself killed? I'm not giving you a ride!"

Lam Kwok-wan opened the car window and started cursing.

Just then, the rear window opened and a small head popped out.

Chen Yuesheng blinked his bright, almond-shaped eyes and exclaimed in surprise:

"An Changli? What are you doing here?"

"Sister Yuesheng, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Li Chang'an hadn't expected to run into her here either. His expression shifted, and he asked:

"Sister Yuesheng, where are you going?"

"I want to go to Kowloon."

"Wow, sister, what a coincidence! I'm also going to Kowloon. Since we're going the same way, let's go together."

Lin Guoyun was also surprised that the two knew each other, and he subconsciously stopped them:

"No... I don't want to give you a ride!"

"Sir, I was wrong to flag down the car, but it's raining so hard, I really had no choice but to take a ride. I apologize, and it's okay if you pay double the fare when you get off."

As Li Chang'an spoke, without waiting for Lin Guoyun's agreement, he opened the car door, got in, and squeezed next to Chen Yuesheng.

"Hey, how can you be so shameless!"

Lin Guoyun was shocked by Li Chang'an's shamelessness.

"I'm sorry, sir. Since this young man is going the same way, please give us a ride. I'm willing to pay two or three times the fare as an apology..."

Chen Yuesheng clasped his hands together and pleaded softly for Li Chang'an.

Lin Guoyun's gaze fell on the schoolbag in Chen Yuesheng's arms. He gritted his teeth and finally started the engine.

"Alright... then I'll send you all on your way!"

The taxi started up again, breaking through the swirling rain, and headed towards Kowloon.

Inside the pitch-black car, the faint scent of roses from Chen Yuesheng's jet-black hair lingered around his nose.

Li Chang'an stared at the empty space before him, his breathing even.

Young people, no matter how dark the night, it cannot hide sins; no matter how heavy the rain, it cannot obscure justice!
