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

On the way back, Lian Haolong kept reviewing the night's actions.

A traitor emerged from the boss's side, causing the fruit market operation to fail.

Meanwhile, the walled city was caught in a trap. No sooner had they succeeded than a group of well-equipped gunmen stormed in.

There's no way to explain such a precise sniping shot unless there's a mole within the operation.

Lian Haodong and Awu exchanged a glance, and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lian Haolong did not shift the blame for the failure onto them, which relieved them greatly.

"Brother, I think the mole might be Ah Fa."

Lian Haodong seized the opportunity to launch an attack:

"While Ah Wu and I were fighting desperately against the enemy's attack, that pink sausage disappeared somewhere."

"Even after we were defeated and fled the fortress, and returned to headquarters, we still haven't seen him."

Seeing this, Ah Wu quickly chimed in to agree.

This was the crucial moment to clear himself of being the mole, and he certainly wouldn't miss it.

"Yeah, Brother Long!"

"We almost didn't escape Kowloon Walled City."

"If it weren't for the loyalty of my brothers, who risked their lives to cover for me and Dong-ge, we might not have made it back to see you alive."

As he spoke, he reached up and wiped the corner of his eye, putting on an expression of relief as if he had just survived a disaster.

That expression showed just how wronged he must have felt.

Lian Haolong exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly shook his head.

"I don't think Ah Fa is the mole."

Upon hearing this, even Hao Dong and A Wu were stunned.

No, this traitor messed up at the crucial moment, abandoning us and running away. If he's not the mole, then who is?

Lian Haodong opened his mouth, about to retort, but was stopped by Lian Haolong raising his hand.

Just then, Su Su walked in carrying a medical kit. She quickly went to Lian Haolong's side, squatted down, opened the medical kit, and began to treat Lian Haolong's wounds.

Lian Haolong gritted his teeth and took off his shirt.

His fleshy body, exposed under the light, was a shocking sight.

In addition to the new knife wounds, palm wounds, and footprints he sustained tonight, his body was covered with countless old scars, crisscrossing his entire back and chest.

Some are knife scars, some are burns, and some are bullet marks.

Each scar is a testament to the years of bloodshed he has endured.

Su Su's eyes immediately reddened.

She carefully used a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant to gently wipe Lian Haolong's wound.

Her hands were steady, but her pursed lips betrayed the heartache in her heart.

"hiss!!!"

The moment the disinfectant touched the wound, Lian Haolong gasped, and the fat on his face twitched a few times.

However, he didn't make a sound; he just gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.

Lian Haolong took a deep breath and looked up at Lian Haodong and Awu.

"The plan to split up into two groups tonight was Ah Fa's idea."

"If he were the mole, there would be no need for such a fuss."

"He only needs to inform the other side of our actions, and we'll walk right into their trap. Why go through all this trouble?"

He paused, then continued his analysis:

"Besides, if Ah Fa really is the mole, you wouldn't have any chance of escaping alive once you entered the city tonight."

"But he didn't do that, which means he didn't intend to harm us."

"At least at that time, he didn't."

These words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence. Even Hao Dong and A Wu exchanged a glance and fell silent.

They had to admit that Lian Haolong's analysis was indeed reasonable.

Given the advantageous situation tonight, if Ah Fa were the mole, the three of them would have had no chance of escaping alive.

What they didn't expect was that Gao Jin and Wang Jianguo really wanted to kill them on the spot.

These two brothers were like cockroaches that could never be killed; they fought their way out.

That's fate and luck.

Lian Haodong was still somewhat unwilling. Just as he was about to say something more, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

The person who came in was none other than Afa, who looked utterly aggrieved.

He was disheveled, his clothes were torn in several places, his hair was a mess like a bird's nest, and his face was covered in bruises.

Upon seeing Lian Haolong sitting in the chair, his eyes reddened, and he rushed forward in three steps, sliding down to kneel directly in front of Lian Haolong.

"Brother Long, I'm sorry!"

"I was afraid of dying, so I ran away at the last moment..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to slap himself.

Before Lian Haolong could speak, Lian Haodong, who was standing next to him, had already kicked him.

Bang!

The kick landed squarely on Ah Fa's chest, sending him sprawling backward and knocking over a vase by the door.

The vase fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, splashing water and broken porcelain shards all over the floor.

"You son of a bitch!"

"We were fighting tooth and nail up front, and you, you good-for-nothing, actually deserted your post!"

Lian Haodong pointed at him and started cursing.

"How could you do this to me and Ah Wu?"

"How can you face the brothers who died in the walled city?"

"You fucking have the nerve to come back?"

Afa struggled to get up from the ground, a bloody scratch on his face from a shard of a vase, but he didn't bother to wipe it off and staggered back to Lian Haolong.

Lian Haolong took a deep breath, extended his slightly trembling hand, and stopped Lian Haodong, who was about to make a move.

"Ah Dong, don't be impulsive, let him finish speaking."

Upon hearing this, Lian Haodong could only suppress his anger, loosen his clenched fist, and step aside to light a cigarette.

Amidst the swirling smoke, his gaze remained fixed on Ah Fa.

Ah Fa stood up again in front of Lian Haolong, head bowed, his voice trembling.

"Brother Long, I was just afraid of dying, so I abandoned my brothers and ran away."

"But I didn't completely run away; I came back early to plan our escape route!"

"Thinking about a backup plan?"

Ah Fa's words completely stumped Lian Haolong and the others.

Lian Haodong scoffed.

"You've already run away, and you're still thinking about our escape route?"

"Who would believe that if I told them?"

Ah Fa ignored Lian Haodong's sarcasm and instead raised his head, looking at Lian Haolong with sincere eyes.

"Brother Long, please let me finish."

Lian Haolong nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.

Ah Fa took a deep breath and analyzed Zhong Xinyi's current situation and the impending trial in the martial arts world, word by word.

"We don't care whether the tornado can return to the walled city or not, but it's a done deal that we've become mortal enemies with him."

"He will definitely avenge this, and he will do everything in his power to do so."

"Our Zhongxinyi organization is out of money right now; we can barely distribute any food or supplies."

"How are we going to pay for our brothers' resettlement and medical expenses next month?"

"Without money, people's hearts will fall apart."

"If morale is low, we'll collapse on our own without any intervention from the authorities."

"Now that things have come to this, we might as well go all out and fight for a way out!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his voice trembled.

"Hmph, fight your way out?"

"Easy for you to say."

Lian Haodong crossed his arms and looked at him coldly.

"Who would believe you now, you coward who deserted your post?"
