Chapter 196: Dark alley

Lan Kwai Fong is a short, narrow, L-shaped street paved with cobblestones between Wyndham Street and D'Aguilar Street in Central, Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, there are many independently operated bars besides luxury hotels. Hong Kong is not big and there are many bars. The petty bourgeoisie Lan Kwai Fong, the feasting Lockhart Road in Wan Chai, and the vibrant Kowloon Tsim Sha Tsui are all areas where bars are concentrated. However, Lan Kwai Fong is the most famous and distinctive bar area.
Driving that black "Porsche" sports car, Zhou Hao and Su Lin came to this famous red light district in Hong Kong.
As soon as he entered Lan Kwai Fong, Zhou Hao noticed that the atmosphere here is very different from that in Central, a cobblestone market, the bars and restaurants on both sides full of European flavor, and the and charming streets. Young and beautiful women, as well as foreigners of all skin colors, Zhou Hao even smelled the faint smell of wine floating in the air.
Su Lin also looked at this strange street curiously. When she came to Hong Kong before, she had never been here before. This time with Zhou Hao, it was the first time that she saw this famous Lan Kwai Fong.
"Let's go." Zhou Hao smiled at Su Lin, and the gentleman bent his right arm.
Su Lin smiled and nodded, and cooperated with Zhou Hao's right arm, and the two walked into the bright feast together.
The two chose a bar called "California". The bar's doors are not big, and the signs are made of blue neon lights. But when he walked inside, Zhou Hao found that the area of ​​the bar was not small enough to hold a hundred people. The lights inside are very dim, and they are all blue, giving people a dreamy feeling. The mellow black blues singing wafted above the bar, creating a casual and relaxed atmosphere.
And most of the people in the bar are young people, the oldest is not more than 40 years old, and there are many foreigners among them. There is also an open space over there, as the dance floor of the bar, where a couple of men and women slowly twist their bodies with the melodious singing, and the whole body exudes an ambiguous smell of wine.
"Welcome, this is the first time for you two." The bartender behind the bar here greeted Zhou Hao with a smile.
Zhou Hao and Su Lin followed the sound and discovered that the bartender turned out to be a young black man in his twenties, with a very friendly and enthusiastic smile on his face, showing the dazzling white teeth that are unique to black people. Both Zhou Hao and Su Lin were very surprised, because the black man spoke very authentic Cantonese just now, which sounded no different from the locals in Hong Kong.
Seeing the expressions on Zhou Hao and Su Lin’s faces, the black man smiled and said,
I grew up in Hong Kong since I was a child. Ha ha, my name is Wallace. Sommelier."
"Hello, my name is Zhou Hao, this is my friend Su Lin." Zhou Hao smiled and shook hands with Wallace.
"I haven't seen you before. It's your first time to come today." Wallace said.
Su Lin nodded, "Yes, we are from China, and I heard that Lan Kwai Fong is very famous, so I came here to stroll around."
"Yes, Hong Kong will return to China in two months. Now many people from mainland China have come to Hong Kong to do business." Wallace said with a smile, "Since the two are here for the first time, then I will invite Drinking a drink at the bar is regarded as my meeting gift." After that, he was very skillful in mixing a glass of "tequila" with ice for the two of Zhou Hao. However, this "tequila" is different from other places. It's blue.
Just listen to Wallace’s smile: "I added blueberry juice to it to make it taste better. I call it ‘blues’, you can try it."
Zhou Hao covered the mouth of the cup with a coaster, and then slammed the glass of tequila against the table. When the foam came up, he drank it in one sip, and then took a long sigh, "Yes, not bad." Seeing Su Lin looking at himself suspiciously, he smiled and said, "What's the matter? "Tequila" is drunk like this."
The opposite Wallace also smiled: "Yes, it turns out that Mr. Zhou is a veteran."
So, Su Lin also learned from Zhou Hao and knocked the cup of "agave" on the table, then picked it up and drank it in one sip. However, she is obviously not a good drinker, and her face is as red as an apple after only a cup.
Zhou Hao asked Wallace, "Wallace, Hong Kong will soon return. What do you think? Or would you leave Hong Kong like other Hong Kong people and immigrate to other countries?"
Wallace smiled, "In fact, many people have asked me this, and even some of my friends have advised me to leave Hong Kong because they don't know if Hong Kong will be able to maintain social stability after its return to China. But..." he told Zhou Hao Dao: "I know China and I have confidence in China. Hong Kong has free speech, a sound legal system, general English, and a series of advantages in finance, trade, and talents. In addition, it is guaranteed by'one country, two systems' and the basic law. The future of Hong Kong is bound to be bright."
Zhou Hao also smiled. He raised his glass to Wallace, "Then we will come to a toast to Hong Kong's bright future."
"Okay, toast!" Wallace picked up a glass of beer and bumped it with Zhou Hao's glass.
At this moment, I saw a white American in his twenties coming over and sitting next to Su Ting, with a warm smile on his face, and asked in English: "Miss, can I buy you a drink?"
Su Lin was slightly stunned. He didn't expect these foreigners to be so proactive and come over so soon to strike up a conversation.
But I heard Wallace say to the white man: "Let's go Jim, haven't you seen someone with a male partner?"
The man named Jim shrugged and said in a half-baked Cantonese: "Perhaps they are just ordinary friends. If I have the opportunity, I can't miss it." Then he looked at Su Lin again, "Miss, how can I Is it an honor?"
Su Lin smiled and shook his head, and said politely: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but no need."
Although Su Lin refused, Jim was still a gentleman and asked her to have a drink with Zhou Hao. Wallace smiled at him: "If you want to pursue a Chinese girl, you should first practice your Chinese."
The two were obviously close friends, and began to make fun of each other. When Zhou Hao saw the men and women over there slowly twisting their bodies under the music, he said to Su Lin beside him: "Su Lin, let's go dancing."
"Dancing? But, but I can't." Su Lin hesitated.
"Neither can I, come on." Zhou Hao jumped off the chair and took Su Lin's hand to the dance floor over there.
Su Lin couldn't hold back Zhou Hao, so he had to follow him obediently.
Unlike other discos, the men and women here just twist their bodies naturally and gently with the music, showing only a romantic sentiment, without showing off the presumptuous madness. Zhou Hao took Su Lin to the dance floor, put his hands on Su Lin's shoulders and waist, and asked Su Lin to put his shoulders, and the two slowly danced back and forth.
The blues singing is very soft, and there is also a kind of laziness, which makes people feel very relaxed. Facing Zhou Hao close at hand, Su Lin only felt a jump in his heart, and stepped on Zhou Hao's feet several times. However, under Zhou Hao's soft smile, she also gradually let go of her tension, and enjoyed the romantic music with Zhou Hao in peace.
The two danced on the dance floor for a while, and then came back to chat with Wallace. Wallace is a very good friend and very enthusiastic. He chatted with Zhou Hao and others about Hong Kong's quirks and his views on Hong Kong and China.
Since Su Lin was not good at drinking, he changed it to orange juice later.
When I came out of "California", it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening, and Zhou Hao smiled at Su Lin beside him: "Tonight is not bad, right?"
"Yeah." Su Lin nodded, "Wallace is a very good friend. We will come and chat with him another day."
Zhou Hao's "Porsche" was parked on the street outside, and the two of them walked towards the street together. When I passed an alley, I suddenly heard a quarrel coming from inside.
"You let me go! I don't want to go back with you! Let go of me!" It was a clear and sweet female voice, and Zhou Hao felt that this female voice was a bit familiar, and I didn't know where I heard it.
Looking into the alley, Zhou Hao saw that it was the back alley of Lan Kwai Fong. In the depths of the alley, a few men were heavily encircling a pair of men and women. The leading man was still holding the woman's hand tightly. put.
And the male partner beside the woman also shouted: "Let go of Vivian! Or I will call the police!" Although this is a man, his voice sounds very sissy, making people wonder if he is gay. .
But when he took out his mobile phone to call the police, he was suddenly snatched by a man next to him, "I'll let you call the police!" After saying that, he threw the mobile phone to the ground severely. Shattered.
Zhou Hao discovered that the man who grabbed the phone was the same Jin Shun he and Su Lin met in the afternoon at the "Xiangji Tea Restaurant".
"Su Lin, you go and drive the car first. I'll take a look." Zhou Hao handed the car keys to Su Lin.
"Be careful." Su Lin knew that Zhou Hao had a good skill. Although worried about him in his heart, he still walked toward the car according to his words.
Then Zhou Hao walked into the alley and took out an iron rod from the trash can next to him.
"What are you doing, block the road and rob!" Zhou Hao shouted when he came to those people.
Those people were taken aback by Zhou Hao's sudden shout. Jin Shun and the others turned their heads to look. After seeing Zhou Hao, Jin Shun sneered and said, "Heh! It's you."
