Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK after London. The city is located in central England, on the main railway line from London to Liverpool. Birmingham is the UK's largest metal processing region and heavy industry base. However, since environmental protection has not yet been taken seriously by various countries at this time, every winter, this industrial city with a population of one million is shrouded in industrial exhaust gas and smog most of the time, making the entire sky appear a bit gray and depressing.
It was the evening of February 20, 1934. In a restaurant on Wells Street in Birmingham, a thirty-year-old Chinese man wearing a black woolen coat and a pair of swollen urine bubble eyes was taking a drink. He poured whiskey into his mouth, and sitting next to him was a charming woman wearing a fur coat and heavy makeup, pouting, lowering her head and eating food silently, as if she was complaining that the man next to her was just drinking and ignoring her.
"Darling, you seem very unhappy today. Is there anything happy about you? If you can tell me, maybe I will give you a little surprise tonight!" The enchanting woman does not want her man to end up drunk. Dazui wanted to serve him by herself, so he took the initiative and teased in an ambiguous tone.
In the past, as long as she used this move, this lustful man would circle around her excitedly like flies smelling fishy smell.
But today she was disappointed. The man just looked at her impatiently, and then scolded: "Shut your mouth, don't bother me." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, then became a little irritated. He stood up, pushed away his chair, and staggered towards the door.
The woman was not angry when she saw this, she just looked aggrieved and chased after the man.
Just kidding, this man is her biggest benefactor. The income from several years of sex business is not as good as the reward for sleeping with this man a few times. He is simply the biggest high-roller she has encountered since she became a street girl. She will not do it for this. Let it go easily.
This man is Kong Linglin, the son of the Kong family who came to England to avoid trouble.
But this afternoon, when Kong Linglin was in high spirits and was about to take his new love to play outside, he received domestic news from an entourage that Liu Ruolan, whom he had always missed, was getting married.
This news immediately made Kong Linglin very angry. He even felt humiliated that his treasure had been robbed by others and he was still powerless.
From the perspective of a playboy like him, with his powerful position in the Kong family, even the legitimate daughter of the Liu family would eventually have to marry him and let him pick and choose.
But he never expected that his Kong family would actually hit a big iron plate in Taiyuan.
What he couldn't figure out was that wasn't he just a little officer with no foundation? Why would his uncle, Mr. Kong Da, be so afraid that not only would he go to England to ward off trouble, but also that Butler Liu, who had been kind to him since he was a child and could be said to have watched him grow up, was killed? Suck it up.
What's wrong with this world? Can an officer sit on the Kong family's head and pee and poop?
An ignorant and ignorant boy like him would naturally not be able to figure it out. But he did not dare to disobey his uncle's instructions, so he had no choice but to come to England and live a life of drunkenness and dreams.
However, he has not forgotten Liu Ruolan. For a lustful person like him, the more women he can't get, the more he feels itchy and misses her.
So before he left, he asked a few friends in the country to help keep an eye on Liu Ruolan's movements and send a telegram if there was any trouble. The Master of the Kong family would be rewarded.
Originally, Liu Ruolan was not someone who liked to show off. How could Kong Linglin's fair-weather friends find out about her? They usually made up some false information to defraud Kong Linglin of his reward and earn some fair-weather money.
However, the marriage of the legitimate daughter of the Liu family was a major event in the upper class society of the Republic of China. Naturally, there were nefarious people who spread the word, so some people hurriedly sent telegrams to Kong Linglin.
When Kong Linglin got the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue.
Although a pure and innocent woman like Liu Ruolan had never looked at him directly, after the Kong family proposed marriage to the Liu family, Kong Linglin had already regarded Liu Ruolan as his forbidden love from the bottom of his heart. Practical fantasy.
Now that the illusion is shattered, one can imagine the shame and frustration in my heart.
So he was upset and went to the restaurant to get drunk.
But the more he drank, the worse the taste became. Even looking at the charming woman in front of him who was usually quite pleasing to the eye, he felt inexplicably bored and wanted to get rid of this bitch whom he had known for less than a week as soon as possible after going out.
Kong Linglin walked out of the restaurant and was shuddered by the cold air that came to him. He motioned to a bodyguard behind him to drive, while he lit a cigarette, took out his wallet, and prepared to tell the charming woman next to him to pay and get out.
But at this moment, several Chinese-looking gangsters walked over from the street. When one of them saw the woman behind Kong Linglin, he whistled frivolously, showed an ambiguous smile that every man could understand, and said loudly: "Hey, I said, isn't this Lilith? Long time no see, now I'm on the rich side. Are you here?"
The gangster walked up as he spoke, completely ignoring Kong Linglin beside the woman. Instead, he reached out and lifted the woman's chin frivolously, and said with a smile: "Lilith, your performance in bed was really great last time. It was really impressive." People have endless aftertaste. How about, come with me today, and I will pay you double the amount this guy gives you."
Although this woman is a street girl, she only does business for rich people because of her beauty. How could she know this gangster? At that moment, her expression changed and she was about to scold the street gangster, but she saw Kong Linglin, whose face was distorted and livid with anger, stepped forward and punched the gangster in the face.
It should be said that Kong Linglin has also lived in the UK for many years and has some understanding of both the national conditions and social conditions of the UK. With his behavior as a wealthy young man, he would generally not have any direct conflicts with people in society, let alone direct physical conflicts.
What's more, the pampered Kong Linglin is not a brave and ruthless person. He has neither the ability nor the courage to fight head-on.
Even if some unsighted people occasionally messed with him, there were still a few bodyguards and followers who followed him all day long to deal with it. How could it be his turn as a noble young man to fight with others in the street.
But the situation was a bit special at this time. The two bodyguards he brought with him today, one went to drive not far away, and the other was paying the bill in the restaurant, but they were not with him.
