Hong Kong variety show: I wanted to be a lawyer, but I became a big shot.

The tornado finally came to a stop.

He stood there, trembling, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Having spent his entire life living on the edge, he had never been afraid of anything, but at this moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness he had never experienced before.

The walled city was his home, the place he had guarded for half his life.

Now, my home is gone.

He closed his eyes briefly and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Does anyone know... what's the current situation in the walled city?"

Just as Xin was about to answer, his mobile phone rang again.

He answered the phone, listened for a few minutes, and his expression became very strange.

"You mean... the stronghold has changed hands again?"

Whatever was said on the other end of the phone made Shinichi's expression grow increasingly strange.

He put down the phone, looked at Tornado, and said with difficulty:

"Boss, breaking news... another group of unidentified armed men have stormed into the walled city, and the Loyal and Trustworthy men are fighting them."

"The specifics are still unclear, but the walled city... is no longer in Lian Haodong's hands."

The tornado was stunned.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and an eerie silence fell over the corridor.

What the hell is going on here?

......

Ten minutes ago, inside Kowloon Walled City, Lian Haodong and his two companions were completely unaware of what was about to happen.

They were basking in the joy of capturing the stronghold.

"Gurgle gurgle!!!"

Ah Wu tilted his head back and gulped down a large mouthful of beer. The cold, golden liquid slid down his throat, and he let out a satisfied burp.

"Ah, that felt great!"

He crushed the beer can and tossed it aside, his eyes greedily scanning everything inside the fortified village.

Narrow alleyways, densely packed signs, crisscrossing power lines, and the faces of residents peeking at them from behind cracks in doors.

From this day forward, everything in the walled city will be under the control of Chung Shun Yi.

"I never expected to take the fortress so easily."

Ah Wu leaned against the wall, legs crossed, his face full of smugness.

"From now on, Kowloon Walled City belongs to Chung Shun Yi!"

"With a no-man's-land as our base, our status within the number gang is completely different."

Ah Fa sat on a wooden box, wiping the submachine gun in his hand, and nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. I just don't know how things are going on Brother Long's side."

He removed the magazine, inspected it, and then reinstalled it.

"If Tornado also dies at the fruit market, then our Zhongxinyi brand will be firmly established."

"At that time, relying on the terrain of Kowloon Walled City, we can advance or retreat as we please, and it is not impossible for us to become the strongest number group in the Number Gang."

"It might even allow Brother Long to advance further."

The more enthusiastic he became, the more ambitious his eyes gleamed.

But he also knew in his heart that loyalty and integrity were now precarious and could not withstand any setbacks.

The organization's finances had been in trouble for a long time, and only its own members knew how miserable they had been during this period.

The reason why Lian Haolong took the risk of wiping out Kowloon Walled City in one fell swoop was because the triad had reached the point of being unable to make ends meet.

Lian Haodong sat to the side, a cigarette dangling from his lips, slowly exhaling a puff of smoke.

Although he was happy inside, he didn't show it on his face.

He flicked off his cigarette ash and said slowly:

"I believe our informant will soon return with a report on the situation at the fruit market."

"We need to take control of the fortress as soon as possible and find and deal with all the disobedient troublemakers."

"It would be best to find where the tornado hid the money."

"He's been running the walled city for so many years, he must have amassed quite a fortune."

"As long as we find this money, our organization's urgent problem can be solved."

The moment money was mentioned, Ah Wu and Ah Fa's eyes lit up.

They've been having a terrible time these days.

The club was broke, and even Haolong was incredibly stingy. Their allowances were cut again and again, and they even had to carefully budget their drinking expenses.

Ah Wu saw a gold watch she liked last month, but after looking at it for a long time, she still couldn't bring herself to buy it, which would have been completely impossible for her before.

"That old bastard Tornado must be hiding his money in the walled city."

Ah Wu rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming.

"Decades of savings, that must be at least a hundred million in cash, right?"

"Maybe even more!"

"If we can find it, we'll be rich."

Ah Fa also got excited.

"I heard that Tornado not only has businesses in the Walled City, but also has a lot of investments outside."

"The few shops and buildings under his name alone are worth at least several hundred million."

The three were talking animatedly, lost in their dreams of getting rich, when suddenly a series of hurried footsteps interrupted them.

A henchman stumbled in, his face pale and covered in sweat, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"Brother Dong, something terrible has happened!"

Lian Haodong's brows immediately furrowed, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

He suppressed his unease and reprimanded her with a stern face:

"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?"

"What's wrong? Tell me slowly!"

The younger brother swallowed hard, his chest heaving violently, his voice trembling.

"When we were burning the body outside Kowloon City, we discovered that a large group of people had arrived."

"They weren't cops, nor were they our men. They were all in full military uniform, covered in military equipment from head to toe, carrying submachine guns and thermal imaging cameras."

Lian Haodong's expression changed instantly.

"Da Yan and Hua Liucheng thought they were on their side and were about to go up and ask them questions when the other side opened fire without saying a word."

"Big Eyes got shot in the head, and Hua Liucheng was riddled with bullets."

"Out of more than ten of us, only I escaped back."

"Everyone else is dead."

As the younger brother spoke, he was trembling all over, and his crotch was wet; he had obviously wet his pants from fright.

"What?!"

Lian Haodong suddenly stood up, the cigarette butt falling from his fingers and landing on the ground, scattering a few sparks.

Ah Wu and Ah Fa also stood up at the same time. The three of them looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

Military equipment?

A submachine gun?

Thermal imager?

Who the hell is this person?

Boom!

An explosion rang out outside the fortress, shaking the ground beneath their feet.

Then came a burst of gunfire, rat-a-tat-tat, like popping beans, and it was advancing from the outside in, getting closer and closer.

The explosion shattered the last shred of hope for Lian Haodong and his two companions.

"Damn it! Someone must be sabotaging us behind this!"

Ah Wu slammed his hand on the table, making the beer cans on it bounce.

"Who is it?"

"The big boss's man?"

"Still Dongxing?"

"Or perhaps a new record?"

"That's enough!"

Lian Haodong interrupted him sharply.

"What's the point of saying all this now?"

"No matter who it is, they've come to our doorstep!"

He took a deep breath, grabbed the submachine gun from the table, quickly changed the magazine, and cocked the rifle.

"Those who don't want to die, come with me to face the enemy!"

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and rushed out first.

Seeing this, Ah Wu dared not delay any longer and quickly grabbed his weapon to chase after them.

"Brother Dong, wait for me!"

Ah Fa raised his hand and slapped the trembling henchman next to him, cursing:

"What are you still standing there for?"

"Chase after them! Call any brothers you can!"

"Ah! Oh!"

The younger brother suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly pulled out a pistol from his waist, staggering as he followed Ah Wu's footsteps.

Ah Fa stood still, gripping his submachine gun, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

He glanced in the direction Lian Haodong and A Wu had rushed off to, then looked in another direction, his lips pressed into a thin line.

The gunfire in the distance grew increasingly intense, interspersed with screams and explosions.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood. The alleyways of the walled city were filled with panicked residents who fled in all directions like frightened birds and beasts. The cries of children and the shouts of adults mingled together in complete chaos.

Ah Fa stood still, took a deep look ahead, then turned around and quickly walked away in another direction.

His expression was resolute, and he never looked back.

Behind him, gunshots were getting closer and closer.
