My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Chapter 1524 Chasing the Dragon (Part 2)

When Tang Zhihao returned to the cinema lobby with entertainment newspapers, drinks, and popcorn in his hands, he found that there were even more people watching the movie.

He followed the flow of people, had his ticket checked, and easily found his seat.

"Director Lai Ka-sing is really serious this time, making a film about the legend of Hong Kong gangsters."

"The trailer looks really exciting, so I came to check it out!"

"Leung Yiu-tung plays Lui Lok, and Lam Tze-keung plays Crippled Ho. Two Best Actor winners! This cast is ridiculously luxurious!"

"It's been a while since Hong Kong cinema has produced such a sincere work."

"Haha, the line 'Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate' in the trailer really resonated with me."

Listening to the discussions of other audience members around him, Tang Zhihao's expectations for the film rose even higher.

He is a native of Hong Kong and loves watching movies. He knows them all like the back of his hand, from the golden age of martial arts films to the heyday of gangster films.

However, in recent years, Hong Kong cinema has declined, and new films have lost that raw and vibrant vitality. It remains to be seen whether this work, penned by mainland screenwriter Ye Zhi Qiu, will be different...

Soon, the lights dimmed, the screen lit up, and the film officially began.

The story begins with a narration that explains the background of the story.

Before 1974, Hong Kong experienced its darkest period in history, marked by collusion between the police and triads under colonial rule, and widespread corruption...

My name is Wu Shih-hao, I'm from Chaozhou. I arrived in Hong Kong around this time. It was the fourth day since my brothers and I arrived that we finally had our first meal...

Wu Shih-hao, a Chaoshan man who was struggling financially and had nowhere else to turn, smuggled himself to Hong Kong with a group of brothers to make a living. As a newcomer to the city, he found it difficult to find work and could only work as a bricklayer on construction sites. In his spare time, he would take on fights to make up the numbers and supplement his family's income.

"Two bucks for a job, thirty bucks for a fight. Nine times out of ten, the fight doesn't even go through. Just yell 'Get out of here' and you get paid!"

Meanwhile, Lei Luo, who had just been promoted to detective, went to attend the birthday party of another detective, Yan Tong.

At the banquet, British Superintendent Hunt got drunk and gambled with his men. After losing, he threatened to deny the loss and even picked up a bottle and smashed it on his men.

Lei Luo tried to stop him, but was slapped hard across the face by his colleague Yan Tong.

This plot point made many viewers grit their teeth in anger.

On Chinese soil, outsiders act arrogantly and domineeringly. Even more tragically, fellow countrymen who are detectives help them, making it the darkest point ever.

The scene shifts to a brawl between gangsters.

This time, the two sides didn't just shout slogans; a massive melee broke out.

With his exceptional skills, Wu Shih-hao was like a god of war among the crowd, beating up a group of thugs until they were knocked to the ground.

Wu Shih-hao's bravery also successfully attracted the attention of Lei Luo, who had come to handle the matter and was standing on a high place.

At that moment, British Superintendent Hunt arrived with riot police to suppress the crowd, throwing smoke bombs into the crowd.

In the chaos, Wu Shih-hao and his brothers disguised themselves as police officers and tried to escape, but they were blocked by Hunter and his men and beaten up.

To prevent his brother from getting into trouble, Wu Shih-hao retaliated, snatching the baton from Hunter's hand and smashing it repeatedly until he was knocked unconscious.

Just then, Lei Luo arrived and stopped Wu Shih-hao from committing the crime.

Earlier, Detective Lei Luo had noticed the daring and ruthless Wu Shih-hao and decided to recruit him. He secretly helped him and brought him back to his jurisdiction.
