Chapter 2 - 2"The Legend of the Stubborn Master and His Daughter in Beijing: The Storm on New Year's Eve in 1990"

Jiadao, whose real name is Ren Jiazhong, was born in 1963. He stands at 1.75 meters tall, with a long and square face and a pair of big, bright eyes. He is slightly thin, but his back is always straight, and his appearance is handsome and tall. In the circle of the Beijing's playboys, there is a saying: "No one is more handsome than Jiadao, and no one is more charming than Bai Xing."

In early 1990, after returning from military service, Jiadai didn't settle for a proper job. Instead, he befriended a group of ruffians in Beijing, spending his days wandering aimlessly, drinking and carousing, fully exhibiting the frivolity of youth. Fights and brawls were a common occurrence.

Kayo's father was a dignified old soldier. Seeing his son idling away his time, he naturally felt frustrated and disappointed. One day, the two of them had another argument. The old man slapped the table and shouted, "Humph! You didn't become a good soldier, but instead fought with the leaders in the army! Now, you've been sent back early! Even if you come back, why don't you settle down and work? Look at you now, slouching around all day long, what kind of image is this?"

It turned out that Jiadai had been brave and aggressive since childhood, so his family sent him to the army for training. Little did they know that during his service in the submarine unit, he would actually engage in physical altercations with others twice. One of these incidents even alerted the captain, who made him a negative example and criticized him in front of all the soldiers. This made Jiadai hold a grudge. Two days later, he actually took advantage of the captain going to the toilet to corner him in the bathroom, cover his head, grab his hair, and give him a severe beating. That year, Jiadai was only 21 years old.

The consequences of this matter can be imagined. He was soon ordered to be discharged from the army and repatriated home. At the age of 22, Jiadai stepped into society. The old man was worried and arranged for him to get a job as an ordinary civil servant. But was Jiadai the type of person who could sit still in an office? He still spent all day making friends and socializing with many acquaintances from the underworld.

In the blink of an eye, it was 1990, five years after Kayo had retired from the military. However, his skills had not been neglected - anyone who had served in the military, especially those veterans from the early years, would understand that their physique and skills were quite solid. At this time, Kayo was 27 years old, full of youthful vigor. Upon hearing his father's reprimand, he immediately retorted, "Dad, why do you always find fault with me? If this continues, I'm quitting this job and I'm not coming back!"

Upon hearing this, the old man flew into a rage: "You scoundrel! If you don't want to come back, then don't! Get out of here now! Hurry up and get out!"

On this very night, January 19th, 1990, coinciding with the Lesser New Year in the lunar calendar, the festive atmosphere of the New Year was already thick in the capital city. Jia Dai lived in the East City, but at this moment, he was once again chased out of his home by his father. As soon as he stepped outside, he heard someone calling out from behind, "Brother! Brother Jia Dai!"

Jiadao turned around and saw that the person who had come was Xu Hanyu, a comrade-in-arms who had been discharged from the army along with him years ago.

Xu Han quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Dai, where are you going?"

Kayoko sighed and said, "I don't know where else to go."

"Just in time!" Han Yu laughed. "My good friend Haiming's girlfriend is back and she's inviting us to dinner. Why don't you come along? I came here specifically to look for you."

Jiadao hesitated for a moment and said, "They are all strangers. Would it be inappropriate for me to go?"

"Hey, there's nothing inappropriate about it!" Han Yu enthusiastically embraced him, "It's been a long time since we gathered together, and Yaqing is also here. Today is the Lesser New Year, so it's perfect to have some fun together!"

So, Jiadao followed the Chinese to Dongshunlou Restaurant. There were seven men and four women at the table. After just over an hour of toasting, seven or eight people came over to toast Jiadao. The four girls couldn't help but whisper to each other, "What does this Jiadao do? How can she be so influential?"

One of the girls is what Li Haiming refers to as his "girlfriend", commonly known as Xiaomei. The reason she is referred to as "in his mouth" is simply because Haiming introduces Xiaomei as his girlfriend in front of his friends, but Xiaomei herself has never acknowledged it. Xiaomei's original surname is Huo. She has a charming appearance, standing over 1.7 meters tall with a baby face, fair skin, and a well-proportioned body, making her very likable. Despite being 32 years old, she is exceptionally well-maintained.

At this moment, Huo Xiaomei also raised her glass, intending to drink a toast with Jiadao. Seeing this, Han Yu, who was standing beside her, said with a hint of alcohol in his voice, "Sister Huo, if you don't mind, let me be frank with you. On behalf of my brother, who is well-known in the '顽主' circle in Dongcheng, everyone gives him respect and calls him 'head'!"

In that era, it was inevitable to hold a slightly higher regard for figures from the "underworld." Coupled with Jiadao's handsome appearance and natural vigor, several girls at the table couldn't help but cast more than a few glances at him. Huo Xiaomei, in particular, found him increasingly unusual with each glance, and a certain fondness grew in her heart.

Li Haiming watched all this in his eyes and suddenly felt a surge of jealousy. With a stern face, he said, "I think we've had enough to drink! Let me invite everyone to the 'Butterfly Love' dance hall. Wei Dong, who runs the place, is my buddy. I'm not boasting, but I know quite a few people in the industry. Lang Yinhai, Pan Ge, Zou Qing, Ghost Crab, Piggy, Hu Yadong... I can speak to these names."

His words were merely intended to show that he was also acquainted with important figures. The group of eleven then moved on to the Butterfly Love Dance Hall.

Actually, Kayo didn't want to come. After arriving, she quietly sat in the corner by herself, not wanting to get involved and dampen others' spirits. However, the wind would not stop even though the tree wished for calm. Huo Xiaomei and the other three girls conspired and unexpectedly came over to invite Kayo to join them for a drink.

Seeing this, Li Haiming's jealousy was completely aroused. He walked straight up to Jiadao and said in a blunt tone, "Today I'm treating, what do you mean by this attitude? Why don't you just go back first!"

As soon as Haiming finished speaking, Han Yu and Ya Qing immediately disagreed: "We came together with Brother Dai. If he's leaving, we'll naturally go together too!"

Just as the three of them stood up, put on their clothes, and prepared to leave, Huo Xiaomei came forward with a glass of wine and tried to stop Kayo: "Brother Kayo, don't rush off. Have another drink..."

Before she could finish speaking, Kayo, who hadn't noticed, stepped forward and bumped into her. Huo Xiaomei stumbled, spilling all the wine in her cup!
