Looking at my bruised face and arms, I swore to myself that I would not enter the horrible place anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend, I went to Mongkok to buy pirated VCDs. I entered a mall from a small entrance. As I didn&rsquo;t want anyone to notice or recognize me, I kept my head down while walking. Then, at an unexpected moment, I bumped into two girls in front by accident. Our bags were knocked onto the floor.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;I&rsquo;m really sorry,&rsquo; I apologized immediately and helped the two girls pick their bags up.<\/p>\n<p>The two teenagers stared at me in quite an unfriendly way for a second. Then they walked away.<\/p>\n<p>I continued browsing in the shops. In order to buy the VCDs in the lowest prices, I had to search in every shop. At last I found the cheapest ones in a tiny illegal record shop. When I took the VCD samples to pay, a surprising thing happened. I took out a wallet which was not mine from my bag! It was a pink one and I tittered to the shop assistants. &lsquo;It must be the girl&rsquo;s wallet!&rsquo; I thought. They looked at each other strangely and whispered to themselves. I took out my own wallet to pay for the discs.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;Please go to the back alley fifteen minutes later to get your copies,&rsquo; one of the assistants said.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to give the wallet to the police after finishing my business. After fifteen minutes, I walked into the alley. There I saw two big men. I thought they were the other sales clerks so I waved my hand with a smile. Who knew that they came up and caught me instantly! They covered my mouth with a handkerchief and bound my hands and legs. They called someone afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, two people came. They were the girls I had bumped into before! I was scared stiff, but I couldn&rsquo;t say a word.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;You are quite reckless, aren&rsquo;t you? You stole my wallet!&rsquo; The girls fired insults at me. <\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;Bash him!&rsquo; The girl ordered the men. I was bashed.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;Slap him!&rsquo; I was slapped.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;Whack him!&rsquo; I was whacked.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;Enough!&rsquo; The other girl commanded. &lsquo;Take the things we deserve!&rsquo; All my properties and the wallet were taken away. The men gave me the last punch and I fainted to death.<\/p>\n<p>In the hospital, the police told me that the girls I had met were the daughters of the head of a gang. Here I would like to warn you, yet I didn&rsquo;t dare to tell you the gang&rsquo;s name. Just remember, never get into any illegal activities! Otherwise, you will be in big trouble!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was in the hospital when I told the police my story.
