Chapter 32: Hong Kong's Tough Guy

After playing for a while, the beautiful Guan walked up to Chen Jiajun, lowered her head to look at her toes, and said in a voice barely audible, "Brother Jun, there's a new movie showing tonight, and a friend gave me two tickets..."

"How about we go see it together?"

"Hmm?"

Chen Jiajun put down his newspaper and looked at the beautiful Guan in surprise.

Guan Jiahui was inviting him to a movie?

He looked up and saw that Guan Jiahui's beautiful face had already flushed slightly, her head still lowered.

"You, don't misunderstand!"

"It's just a movie a friend acted in, and they gave me two tickets to go take a look."

"If you don't want to... then I'll just throw, throw them away."

Guan Jiahui explained hurriedly, her voice growing quieter as she spoke.

At this time, the beautiful Guan had just left campus and was 17 years old.

This was the age of brilliant blooming; raised in luxury since childhood, she was peerless in beauty, pure in temperament, and carried a romantic, youthful air.

"It would be a waste to throw them away, let's go." Chen Jiajun nodded. He was also quite interested in Hong Kong cinema and figured he might as well see what was currently playing, as he could potentially enter the film industry later depending on the situation.

Chen Jiajun drove Heishui Qiang's AMG-modified Mercedes-Benz SEL toward the Landmark in Central.

The shopping mall's atrium here, with its three-story colonnades, semicircular balconies, skylights, and fountain, was a landmark of Hong Kong, and many tourists came here to shop.

After parking the car and before even entering the mall, a security guard approached, trembling: "Sir, Miss, is that a wolf you're leading?"

"What wolf? This is an Alaskan, his name is Dudu." The beautiful Guan immediately corrected him: "Look at how well-behaved he is."

"Come, lie down."

"Shake hands."

"Don't bare your teeth."

The Snow Wolf, with a shoulder height of 1.2 meters, followed each command, though it bared its teeth to threaten the guard at the end; the beautiful Guan gave it a slap, and the giant frost wolf instantly became obedient.

Watching the innocent and romantic person and wolf, Chen Jiajun shook his head and slipped the guard a small tip: "Don't worry, I have him on a leash, he definitely won't hurt any other guests."

"Alright then."

The security guard changed his tune immediately; hesitating for even a second longer would have been a sign of disrespect toward the money.

"Brother Jun, you've saved me twice, why don't I buy you a bag as a token of my gratitude?"

"Brother Jun, this suit would definitely look great on you, and this tie too."

"Brother Jun, let's buy some dog food for Dudu."

As soon as they entered the Landmark, the beautiful Guan began picking out all sorts of gifts for Chen Jiajun.

The men who came to shop, regardless of their age or wealth, all looked at him with eyes full of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

In the cinema, the lights were dim, and an inexplicable feeling was slowly fermenting in the darkness.

Chen Jiajun watched Hong Jingbao's new movie on the screen and asked indifferently, "Do you like me?"

"Ah? I don't know, I can't say, I just can't help wanting to see you..." In the darkness, having her thoughts laid bare, Guan Jiahui's cheeks burned.

In her eyes, Chen Jiajun was young, handsome, humorous, witty, mature, and steady, and most importantly, he was responsible.

She had already had a good impression of him, and after he saved her twice, the feelings in Guan Jiahui's heart became unstoppable; she just couldn't help wanting to be close to him.

"Hmm."

Chen Jiajun generously pulled her into his broad embrace. Guan Jiahui felt her face burning hot, and at this moment, she could only hear the pounding of her own heart.

Chen Jiajun held her slender, innocent hand, their fingers interlaced, and stroked her hair gently; they maintained this posture until the movie ended.

When the cinema lights came on, Guan Jiahui, who felt as though only a moment had passed, gave a startled cry and immediately sat up straight, her face flushing even redder.

"Let me take you back first, you live on Kadoorie Hill, right?"

Chen Jiajun couldn't help but find it amusing.

Skillfully turning the steering wheel, Chen Jiajun whispered a reminder: "If you want to come see me in the future, just give me a call, and I'll come pick you up."

"Hmm."

Guan Jiahui nodded.

"Have you ever thought about quitting the entertainment industry?" Thinking of the entertainment industry as a big dye vat, Chen Jiajun asked.

The answer to this question was crucial.

Guan Jiahui blinked her large eyes: "Do you want me to quit the entertainment industry?"

Chen Jiajun nodded slightly.

Guan Jiahui felt wonderful inside: "Actually, I don't like acting either; I'd rather continue my studies."

"That's good." Chen Jiajun nodded and then asked, "What do you plan to study?"

"I'm not very smart, my grades aren't good, I want to learn painting and become a great painter in the future, but my dad says there's no future in being a painter."

Guan Jiahui spoke slowly about her family situation.

"It doesn't matter if your dad doesn't support you, I support you."

Chen Jiajun kept his eyes on the road as the Mercedes-Benz drove into the Hung Hom Tunnel.

Driving all the way to Kadoorie Hill, Chen Jiajun parked the car at Guan Jiahui's villa and happened to run into her father smoking a cigar at the entrance.

Guan Jiahui was discovered and appeared somewhat embarrassed.

"Go on in."

Chen Jiajun bowed slightly to his future father-in-law.

Until the Mercedes-Benz left Kadoorie Hill, Guan Shan asked his precious daughter seriously:

"How long have you two been together? What's his name? What does his family do? He's quite polite, why didn't you ask him to come in and sit for a while?"

"Dad, you don't object?" Guan Jiahui hugged a cushion, her face flushed red.

"You've grown up too. I don't object to you finding someone like this; if you're going to find a boyfriend, you should find one like this. He looks like a talented young man. Whatever you do, don't find those hoodlums! Just a few days ago, several underworld Big Brothers were hacked to death."

The next day.

A high-rise building in Central.

Chen Jiajun, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, sat before a Chinese Lawyer named Huang Dawen.

"Mr. Chen, may I ask what business you have come to consult about?"

Huang Dawen looked at the young man before him, pushed up his glasses, and wore a smile on his face.

The reason he was so polite was that he happened to know Chen Jiajun's true identity.

"Lawyer Huang, I would like you to take action and handle a few matters for me." As he spoke, Chen Jiajun looked at Dumu: "This is the remuneration."

Dumu pulled open the briefcase, revealing a thick stack of Hong Kong banknotes inside.

As soon as Huang Dawen saw the contents of the briefcase, he was scared out of his wits.

"Damn it!"

Because lying right next to the Hong Kong banknotes was a Browning M1911.

Huang Dawen immediately understood that this Liangzai Jun, who had recently become very famous in the underworld, had come with ill intent, and his heart sank instantly.

Huang Dawen immediately put away his expression, looked at Chen Jiajun seriously, and said: "Brother Jun, whatever I can help with, I will certainly do my best."

"You know me?" Chen Jiajun was quite surprised; this form of address clearly showed he knew who he was.

"I've heard of you. My old man used to be a Red Pole for the Wo Hop To. After I grew up, I became a Lawyer. Although I stopped doing work for the society long ago, I can still occasionally hear news from the underworld."

Huang Dawen replied politely.

In the underworld, the older the society, the deeper its foundation.

The Wo Hop To is the oldest society in Hong Kong, also known as "Old Crooked".

The descendants of the society's Elders are spread across every industry in all of Hong Kong, and some have even become elites within their fields.

"Lawyer Huang, since you used to be with the Old Crooked, then I'll speak openly. I've newly opened three venues on Hennessy Road and now want to apply for liquor licenses. Additionally, I want to register a few companies and then fish a brother out of prison."

Chen Jiajun stated all his requests in one breath.

Huang Dawen pushed up his glasses and said: "The first few items are small matters, but regarding the last one, what crime did your brother commit?"

"His name is Lin Haozai, he is a senior brother from my same Causeway Bay Branch, nicknamed 'Good Fighter', and he committed murder. He has already been inside for four years and was sentenced to nine."

The main purpose of Chen Jiajun's trip was to fish 'Good Fighter' from the former Causeway Bay Branch out.

'Good Fighter' had taken the fall for Dalao B and was sentenced to nine years.

Back then, Dalao B had promised in front of all the underlings in Causeway Bay that once 'Good Fighter' got out, he would be promoted to Red Pole!

Since that Red Pole position in Causeway Bay was so hard to establish, he would help Dalao B establish it.

"It's not difficult." Huang Dawen pushed up his glasses and said: "But Liangzai Jun, for the bribe money, you must prepare at least one million."

"Lawyer Huang, I have already prepared the money. As long as you handle this well for me, I, Liangzai Jun, will definitely reward you heavily!" Chen Jiajun said with a smile.
