Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 71 Kowloon Walled City

   The initiator of this invitation, none other than the future Princess Diana, will hold a concert on February 20th.

   Seeing the date of the concert, Yang Chen couldn't help but think of the engagement ceremony of Princess Diana and Prince Charles on February 24th.

   I started to wonder if this is the future princess who is going to choose the performer for the engagement ceremony at this concert.

   If so, I seem to have a chance to compete.

On the table, Father Xue, Mother Xue, and Xue Yufei saw that Yang Chen was silent and did not speak, nor did they make a sound.

   When Father Xue received this invitation, he already knew who the initiator of the invitation was, and it was for this reason that Father Xue valued Yang Chen more and more in his heart.

   Let me ask, how many people in Xiangjiang can be invited by the princess. After several times in the whole Xiangjiang, Yang Chen is probably the first among the Chinese.

   Having stayed in Xiangjiang for a long time, Father Xue has become more and more aware of how much influence the UK is ruling in Xiangjiang at this time. Yang Chen is able to do one thing, which has already made him very gratified.

   After sending Yang Chen back to Xue's house, Chen Aiguo drove away with two people.

   Ever since Yang Chen mentioned the matter of recruiting bodyguards, Chen Aiguo has been wondering where to start.

  Sometimes, the reliable and trustworthy people are his own people, or acquaintances. Only those who know the basics can be trusted.

   Yang Chen recruited bodyguards, not security guards. If the recruits didn't know the details, he wouldn't dare to send them to Yang Chen's side.

  For a long time, civilization and prosperity have always corresponded to evil and poverty.

  Behind the civilized and prosperous metropolis of Hong Kong, there has always been a very special place.

   It can even be said that this place is famous and legendary all over the world.

  Kowloon Walled City

   I believe that many people who have read Xiangjiang novels are familiar with this name.

  The Kowloon Walled City has always been regarded as the lowest slum by the people of Hong Kong, and it is also a famous three-no-go zone.

   This Kowloon Walled City, located in the center of the Hong Kong, has always been independent of the Hong Kong government due to some special historical reasons.

  Because the sovereignty of the Kowloon Walled City belongs to the mainland government, not a British colony, the Hong Kong police and government officials have no right to enter the management.

  Because there is no government management, the Kowloon Walled City has gradually become a place where the major black forces are active.

  Although the Kowloon Walled City has many disadvantages, it is regarded as a poor, backward, dark and dirty place by people from all walks of life, but it is a place where many people at the bottom of Hong Kong can live and live.

  In the walled city, all kinds of illegal expansion and unauthorized construction are serious, the streets are narrow like corridors, and water and power outages are common on weekdays, but all these are not enough to affect people's normal life.

   No matter what the outside world thinks, the people at the bottom of the Kowloon Walled City are very dependent on it.

  In the eyes of outsiders, all kinds of underworld forces are mixed in the city wall, which is very dangerous, but it does not have much impact on the people living here.

   Anyone who can leave here will not stay here for one more day, and those who do not leave means that they can only live here.

   As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters make troublesome people. The ordinary people here are already poor and only have one life left. What else do they have to be afraid of?

  The underworld has little influence on them at all, but all those who are underworld are just to make money, and those people who want to make money can't focus on the poor in the Kowloon Walled City.

   If you are really in a hurry, and someone else is taking your life with you, then it is really bad luck!

  The three of Chen Aiguo drove the car to a street away from the Kowloon Walled City, leaving one person to watch the car, Chen Aiguo took one person and walked directly into the Walled City.

   For Chen Aiguo, it is not easy to provoke people at first sight. Ordinary residents in the Kowloon Walled City generally avoid it if they can.

   And the people of the other underworld forces will take a look at it at most, and they will ignore it.

  For Kowloon Walled City, people like Chen Aiguo who go in and out of the Walled City every day are ignorant. As long as they are not the police, they don’t even bother to pay attention.

  Otherwise, if one is not good, if there is a conflict, you will not know how it will die.

   Passing through several alleys, Chen Aiguo kept walking silently, while Wu Yao, who was behind him, kept following in Chen Aiguo's footsteps, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

   They lived in this place before, but they never came back since they left the Kowloon Walled City.

   For a while, the two felt a lot.

  The buildings in the Kowloon Walled City are all illegal buildings. One floor is placed on top of the other, and they are stacked higher and higher every year. 80% of the houses in the Walled City are basically in a 24-hour state without sunlight.

   In many places, even in the daytime, you need to turn on the lights to see things.

  Chen Aiguo kept going inside like this, passing through alleys, and finally stopped in front of an old building.

   went straight upstairs, Chen Aiguo stopped in front of a house with an iron gate installed outside.

  dong dong—

   "Who is it?" A female voice came from the door, but the door inside was not opened.

   "Xiao Lian, it's me, your uncle Aiguo." Hearing a female voice coming from the door, Chen Aiguo shouted into the room.

   Immediately afterwards, the door came in response, and a girl whose face could not be seen clearly appeared from the crack of the opened door.

   Through the lights in the room, the girl saw Chen Aiguo's face clearly and confirmed that it was someone she was familiar with before fully opening the door inside.

  The girl in the room opened the door and said happily, "Uncle Patriotic, Brother Ayao, why are you here?"

   Chen Aiguo asked while explaining, "I came to find your father, is your father back? Is Xiaoyu at home?"

   After Li Xiaolian opened the iron door, she turned sideways and said with a smile: "My dad and sister went out to buy something, and we'll be back in a while, Uncle Aiguo, Brother Ayao, you two come in and talk."

Entering the room, Chen Aiguo and Wu Yao subconsciously looked at the environment in the room. They saw that the room was only a few square meters. There was only a bunk iron bed, a table and a place for sundries. He and Wu Yao looked at each other and didn't speak.

  Xiaolian took the water cups that her sisters and father used at home, washed them, and gave them two cups of boiled water.

   "Uncle Patriotic, Brother Ayao, drink water."

   Chen Aiguo took the water cup Li Xiaolian handed over, and after taking a sip to quench his thirst, he said, "Xiaolian, don't get busy, sit down first, Uncle has something to ask you."

   "Uncle, just ask if you have anything."

  Li Xiaolian gave Chen Aiguo a puzzled look, wondering why Chen Aiguo had something to ask her instead of waiting for her father to come back.

   Chen Aiguo nodded and asked casually, "Do Tietou and Junzi still live here?"
