Chapter 114

Guan Zu, Song Zihao, Xiao Fu, Little Ma, and the others who were eating melon saw this scene...

Pfft~~~~

They sprayed their drinks.

"No way, why did they just run away?"

"(Li Jie) he saved them, didn't he? They actually abandoned him and ran!"

"Hahaha~~~"

Guan Zu pounded the table, greatly amused.

Soon,

Li Jie was surrounded by Gentleman Sheng's many underlings, each of them looking at Li Jie with fierce eyes.

Li Jie's expression became serious.

Two fists are no match for four hands, let alone the dozen or so people on the other side, all holding knives.

At this time, Xiao An heard that David and the others were fighting and ran out.

Gentleman Sheng also followed.

Xiao An breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that David and the others weren't there.

And Gentleman Sheng, hearing the report from his underlings that they had let David and the others run away, couldn't help but look coldly at Li Jie, who was meddling in other people's business, with a very ugly expression.

"Kid, which path are you on?"

Li Jie was just about to say: "..."

At this time,

"Brother Sheng!"

Guan Zu brought his people out.

He knew the opportunity to recruit Li Jie had appeared and couldn't be missed.

Gentleman Sheng looked at Guan Zu with an ugly expression: "What? You know him?"

Guan Zu cupped his hands: "I admire this person; his skills are good... I wonder if Brother Sheng can give me some face? 200,000, consider it my apology to the brothers who were injured."

He could certainly use his power to pressure Gentleman Sheng into letting the person go.

But there was no need; harmony brings wealth, and he tried not to make enemies.

Moreover, Guan Zu giving money to Gentleman Sheng was to tell Li Jie: I paid this price, and you will have to repay me later.

And hearing Guan Zu say this, Li Jie was moved inside.

Gentleman Sheng looked at Guan Zu for a few seconds,

"Fine!"

"I'll give you this face today!"

Guan Zu had already said so much and given enough sincerity; 200,000 was more than enough, so he had to give this face.

Besides, when Taibao Qiu caused trouble last time, Guan Zu also gave him face.

Face is given mutually; if he didn't give it this time, he would offend Guan Zu instead.

He couldn't afford to offend Guan Zu!

Gentleman Sheng waved his hand,

And the underlings surrounding Li Jie dispersed directly.

Guan Zu cupped his hands: "Thank you, Brother Sheng. Next time you're free, I'll treat you to dinner."

Hearing this, Gentleman Sheng's face returned to a smile: "Easy, easy."

At this time,

On the other side, David and the others drove away, but as they drove, they stopped.

"Oh no, Xiao An didn't come back!"

"Will Xiao An be okay?"

"We have to go back and get Xiao An!"

No matter what, they had to go back.

"And that guy from just now, who ran out to help us."

"None of our business."

"A guy who meddles in other people's business."

Li Jie was directly ignored by them.

The few of them turned around and went back to save Xiao An.

Soon, they sped back to the bar.

From afar, David happened to see Gentleman Sheng, and his eyes turned red.

"Run him over!"

When Quanzai heard this, he also lost his head and stepped on the gas, driving straight toward Gentleman Sheng.

Guan Zu heard the roar of the car engine approaching rapidly, turned his head, and saw a car rushing over.

He pulled Fang Ting and retreated rapidly.

Song Zihao pulled the limping Little Ma, and Xiao Fu pulled Xi Gui back.

The car brushed past them and hit Gentleman Sheng.

Gentleman Sheng was grazed and rolled to the ground, while the car hit the car in front and stopped with a boom.

Gentleman Sheng climbed up, looking disheveled and furious.

"Beat him!"

"Beat him to death!"

The underlings surged forward and dragged David, Beckham, Quanzai, and Blackie out of the car.

A round of punching and kicking followed.

Li Jie was a good person, but not a pushover; at this time, he wouldn't help anymore, watching coldly as David and the others were beaten.

Guan Zu knew that David and the others would definitely be miserable next.

As a great philanthropist, he couldn't bear to see such misery.

"Brother Sheng, we'll be going now."

"Goodbye, I'll treat you to dinner next time!"

Gentleman Sheng cupped his hands: "See you next time."

Soon, Guan Zu and the others got into the car, picked up Li Jie along the way, and left North Point.

Li Jie secured!

Not long after Guan Zu left, Long Wei and Cao Chali drove to the Romance Bar.

As a result, they saw a group of people beating up a few others.

Cao Chali said: "Looks like tonight isn't suitable for hanging out here."

Long Wei nodded: "Let's go to another place."

They drove away directly.

They didn't want to cause trouble.

On the other side,

In the blue Bentley,

"Thanks for today, I'll pay you back the 200,000."

Li Jie thanked Guan Zu.

Guan Zu smiled: "I see your skills are good, do you want to work for me?"

Li Jie shook his head and refused: "Sorry."

Guan Zu chuckled: "Do you think I'm a gangster, so you don't want to join? But you might be wrong. I'm currently a government official, a councilor in Causeway Bay. All of Hong Kong knows that I, Guan Zu, love doing charity work the most..."

Li Jie said in a flat tone: "In Taiwan, many councilors are gangsters."

Guan Zu asked: "Are you from Taiwan?"

Li Jie replied: "Yes."

Guan Zu smiled: "You just arrived in Hong Kong, right? Do you have any friends in Hong Kong?"

Li Jie shook his head: "No."

Guan Zu smiled: "Let me analyze. I see your skills are good and your temperament is extraordinary; you shouldn't have been an ordinary person in the past. Now that you've come to Hong Kong with no relatives or friends, it means you want to do one thing... and it's a very important thing!"

"You don't look like a businessman, you're not here to do business, and you're not here to find relatives, so there's only one possibility—finding an enemy... You want revenge?"

Li Jie was slightly startled and looked at Guan Zu.

"Looks like I guessed right... Have you found this enemy? Is it hard to find or easy to find?"

Li Jie nodded and said: "Very hard to find."

Guan Zu laughed: "Since it's very hard to find, then you should even more so work for me."

Li Jie was surprised: "??"

Guan Zu said: "Let me introduce myself. I, Guan Zu, am the hall master of Hong Xing, the largest triad in Hong Kong. I have money and power, and all the triads in Hong Kong will give me some face..."

"In addition, I also have several high-level friends in the Hong Kong police force..."

"You came to Hong Kong alone, unfamiliar with the place, how are you going to find someone?"

"But working for me is different. I will mobilize people from both the black and white worlds to help you find people."

"Also, you can rest assured that I, Guan Zu, never do anything illegal, and I won't let you do it either."

Speaking of this, Li Jie was already moved.

If Guan Zu could really handle both the black and white worlds, finding someone would indeed be much easier than him searching slowly by himself.

Plus the favor from today.

"Fine! I'll join!"

Li Jie finally nodded.

Guan Zu laughed loudly: "Good, welcome to the team!"

"This is Xiao Fu, from the mainland..."

"This is Xi Gui..."

"You'll slowly grow to like it here..."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Li Jie."

"Good, from now on we're brothers!"

On the other side,

Mong Kok Councilor Chen Guorong, after two days of planning, finally started his fundraising campaign.

First, he contacted the West Kowloon Social Welfare Department and negotiated the distribution of benefits.

Then he went to find news reporters.

Having been a councilor for over a decade, he had quite a network, and he quickly contacted a TVB reporter.

Then, TVB sent reporter Le Huizhen to interview Chen Guorong.

In his office,

Chen Guorong sat on the sofa, posing for the interview, looking at Le Huizhen, who was wearing a pink shirt, and feeling that this female reporter was much prettier than on TV—she was his type.

"Miss Le, you're even prettier in person than on TV. I wonder if you have a boyfriend?"

Le Huizhen saw through Chen Guorong's lecherous heart at a glance and cursed inside: "Lecher, old fart."

She put on a fake smile: "No boyfriend, but I have someone I like."

"Who?"

"Councilor Guan from Wan Chai. Young, handsome, and has masculine charm."

Chen Guorong's expression paused.

His face stiffened.

"Ahem... let's start the interview."

"Okay."

Le Huizhen set up the interview stance: "Councilor Chen, I heard you're preparing to do something that will benefit the neighborhood. Many residents want to know what it is. Can you introduce it specifically?"

(Residents: I don't want to know.)

Chen Guorong smiled: "Of course... I have always been committed to benefiting the neighborhood. Recently, I discovered that there are really many gangsters on the streets, and there's even a phenomenon of them invading schools..."

Then he talked about how he wanted to set up two extracurricular tutoring schools to save teenagers... blah blah blah~~~ He talked for a full 20 minutes.

Le Huizhen rolled her eyes. How was this any different from what Brother Zu was doing?

And he had the nerve to say he thought of it himself?

Truly shameless!

Chen Guorong was full of righteousness: "I believe that with these two extracurricular tutoring schools, we can greatly reduce the rate of juvenile delinquency and also let them study well..."

"This time, I plan to unite with the Social Welfare Department to raise 1 million from society..."

"I hope all sectors of society will actively participate in donations. Everyone for me, I for everyone..."

Councilor Chen held his head high and chest out.

Oh~~~

Le Huizhen understood.

This guy wants to embezzle the donations! She had seen too many people like this!

Outwardly sanctimonious and righteous, inwardly cunning and greedy.

She didn't know why, but when Guan Zu raised funds, Le Huizhen felt that Guan Zu was truly doing charity work, unlike when she saw these people and knew at a glance they weren't good people.

Could it be that Guan Zu is too handsome?

Le Huizhen's thoughts drifted away.

Day one of missing Brother Zu.

Half an hour later, the interview ended.

"Councilor Chen, the interview is over. I have to go back to the TV station to edit the footage. Goodbye..." Le Huizhen got up and said goodbye.

"Miss Le, wait. I wonder if I have the honor of inviting Miss Le to dinner." Councilor Chen invited.

"Sorry, I'm busy." Le Huizhen called the cameraman and left Councilor Chen's company without any hesitation.

!.

Downstairs,

In the car.

The fat cameraman: "He wants to hit on you."

Le Huizhen sneered: "Of course I know, lecher, disgusting... Brother Zu is still the handsome one..."

The cameraman complained: "I think you're infatuated."

Le Huizhen cursed: "What does it have to do with you if I'm infatuated!"

A new day,

TVB and a dozen newspapers bought off by Councilor Chen reported on Councilor Chen's news.

"Councilor Chen raises 1 million, sets up tutoring schools to save teenagers!"

"Chen Guorong's bold words: Two schools together, force to cut down juvenile delinquency!"

"All sectors of society, hurry up and donate money, Councilor Chen is doing big things!"

"Gangsters, know what to do, don't cause trouble on the streets anymore!"

The first two were fine, but the last two headlines made Chen Guorong so angry he threw his cup.

Damn, taking money to do things but not being reliable!

However, with the broadcast of the TVB news and the reports from a dozen media outlets, many citizens learned about Councilor Chen's fundraising.

In addition, Councilor Chen held several rallies for publicity and specifically brought people with red ribbons to make a big show, personally visiting the residents of Mong Kok one by one to promote what he was going to do.

At one household,

"Donations the day after tomorrow, please support us, Uncle and Auntie~~~"

"Of course we support it, after all, this is for our Mong Kok! Absolutely support it!"

"Thank you, thank you Uncle and Auntie!"

After Councilor Chen left, bang~~ the door closed.

Uncle: "Are we really going to donate?"

Auntie: "Donate my ass. Who doesn't know this Chen Guorong? He's never done a good deed... I don't believe he would do this kind of good deed."

Uncle: "I think so too, this Chen Guorong's character is no good."

At another household,

"For the sake of the children, please donate the day after tomorrow, please support us..."

"Definitely support, must support!"

"Thank you! I thank you on behalf of all the children in Mong Kok!"

Councilor Chen left, and the door closed.

The young couple discussed privately:

"Really donate?"

"Don't donate, humph, think we don't know he wants to embezzle the donations?!"

Councilor Chen visited every household, and his confidence grew higher.

These residents were just too easy to fool!

Everyone said they would donate!

Not bad, not bad!

Completely unaware that he had already been cursed to death by those residents behind his back.

As the saying goes, people do and heaven watches. How could the residents not know what he had done over the years? His reputation was already rotten.

If there hadn't been a lack of councilor candidates to run against him, how could he have been elected?

After working for a whole morning,

Although Councilor Chen was very tired, every resident expressed support, which made him feel very energized.

Fundraising was very promising!

He had already started imagining the fundraising scene the day after tomorrow, easily obtaining 1 million in donations. Then the Welfare Department would take 200,000, the Education Department would take 200,000, he would take 500,000, and the remaining 100,000 would be used to fool a few people and take the blame.

Awesome!

Over in Causeway Bay.

Guan Zu's office.

"You don't know how shameless that Councilor Chen is..."

Le Huizhen complained to Guan Zu,

"He clearly plagiarized you, but said he discovered it. And looking at his cunning appearance, he probably wants to embezzle that money after fundraising."

Guan Zu smiled: "Maybe he really is doing it for the children's sake, and it's not certain he won't set up extracurricular tutoring schools."

"Tsk, I know at a glance he's not a good person." Le Huizhen said disdainfully, "Unlike you, Brother Zu, you're genuinely doing charity work."

While speaking, she looked Guan Zu up and down.

A gentleman like no other...

Just handsome!

Le Huizhen's eyes rolled, and she pretended to be angry: "That old fart, he's already at that age, and he still looked at me lecherously, lecher..."

Guan Zu laughed: "You're so pretty, it's normal for him to look at you."

Le Huizhen's eyes lit up. She put her hands on the table, leaned forward toward Guan Zu, and revealed a patch of snow-white skin: "Really? Am I very pretty?"

Guan Zu's heart jumped, and he quickly looked away: "Ahem... very big... no, very pretty."

Le Huizhen was happy.

Looks like she wasn't without charm after all.

Le Huizhen said again: "Also, that lecher wanted to invite me to dinner. Ha, how could I possibly eat with such a disgusting person... By the way, Brother Zu, are you hungry? Do you want to have lunch?"

A naked hint.

Ask me out, ask me out...

Guan Zu looked at his watch and got up: "It is time for lunch... Let's go, let's eat."

Le Huizhen was overjoyed.

The date was here.

However... 10 minutes later...

She followed Guan Zu and walked to the Kowloon Cafe, which was a bit old and not romantic at all.

Le Huizhen: "............"

Despair!

A death-date location!

"Straight man! Straight man! Straight man!"

Le Huizhen roared inside.

But soon she cheered herself up: "It's okay, just consider it understanding Brother Zu's hobbies. I can definitely do it!"

Guan Zu and Le Huizhen found a seat and sat down.

Nine-Tattoo Dragon walked over: "Brother Zu, what would you like to eat?"

He looked at Le Huizhen, hey, isn't this TVB reporter Miss Le?

Guan Zu: "Pork chop set meal, plus silk stocking milk tea... Miss Le, what about you?"

Le Huizhen quickly said: "Do you have a vegetable diet set meal?"

Nine-Tattoo Dragon: "Yes."

Le Huizhen: "Give me one."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Nine-Tattoo Dragon left for the kitchen.

Guan Zu said to Le Huizhen: "His name is Nine-Tattoo Dragon, he used to be a triad big brother, but later he retired from the underworld... If you're interested, you can interview him."

Le Huizhen: "Are you very familiar with him?"

Guan Zu nodded: "Considered friends."

At this time, the door of the Kowloon Cafe was pushed open.

Taibao, Wah Dee, and Jojo walked in.

"Brother Zu!"

The three saw Guan Zu and quickly greeted him, then glanced at Le Huizhen with surprise.

Guan Zu introduced: "This is Taibao, this is Wah Dee, and Jojo... Miss Le, you should recognize them, TVB reporter."

The three: "Hello, Miss Le."

"Hello~~~"

Le Huizhen was incomparably happy inside: Not bad, getting to know Brother Zu's friends first is also progress.

Two days later,

Saturday, 9:00 AM.

Mong Kok Cherry Street Park,

Fundraising point,

Councilor Chen arrived.

People from the Social Welfare Department and the Education Department also arrived.

And TVB reporter Le Huizhen and the fat cameraman also arrived.

After two days of publicity, Councilor Chen was full of confidence in today's fundraising.

Guan Zu was able to get 2 million in donations, so I can get 1 million, right?

Councilor Chen, the Social Welfare Department official, and the Education Department official looked at each other.

"Hehehe~~"

"Heeheehee~~"

"Sinister laugh~~"

They were already thinking about how to divide the donations.

"It's 9:00..."

Councilor Chen looked at his watch, ready to welcome the citizens who would come to donate.

Then...

1 minute...

5 minutes...

10 minutes...

Not to mention a person, he didn't even see a hair.

The park entrance was terrifyingly deserted.

Councilor Chen, the Social Welfare official, and the Education official: "............"

Councilor Chen's mentality was a bit broken.

"Did I get the time wrong? That's not right, it's Saturday! It's nine o'clock! It's Cherry Street Park!"

"The time and place are both correct!"

He started doubting everything, wondering where something went wrong.

How was it completely different from the lively and enthusiastic fundraising scene at Guan Zu's place that day?

At this time,

Finally, an old man walked into the park.

Councilor Chen was happy, as if he had seen the dawn, and ran over quickly like a bird.

He supported the old man.

"Uncle, you're here to donate, right? Come, over here!"

He pulled the old man toward the donation box.

"Donate? No, no, no, I'm not donating!" The old man resisted violently: "I'm just here to walk in the park and exercise. You guys, don't even think about fooling me into donating."

Councilor Chen: "............"

At this moment, his heart went cold!

No, why is it different from what I imagined?

Le Huizhen and the fat cameraman were on the side, their faces twisted, trying their best to hold back their laughter.

Roaring with laughter inside:

Hahaha~~~

Laughing to death, no one came to donate at all, hahaha~~~

Don't even look at what kind of person you are, compared to Brother Zu, laughing to death hahaha~~~

Pounding the ground with laughter!

Black Myth, no time to play, you guys help me play it, woooo~~~~
