This was not a surprise; it was a miracle—or, to put it more accurately, a divine intervention.
In Kowloon City, Master Er and Master Dong were the original family’s relatives. They had always kept to themselves, staying out of the underworld’s affairs, yet for the sake of a nebulous blood tie, they had even been willing to bow before Yu Zhenghong and take on a hit job against Nie Zhao.
Chen Rou had family, too: her father and mother, who had passed away when she was very young. If she hadn't been terrified that leaving Nie Zhao would mean death, she would have departed for the Mainland the moment she returned to Hong Kong. She lived in a grand mansion at Repulse Bay, attended by a small army of servants, but not a moment passed when she wasn't homesick. The Mainland was her true home; it was where her father and mother were still alive.
