Chapter 144: 140 Wei Yingzi: It

"Thank you, big brother!"

"Thank you!"

Old Li, Li Peng, and A-Adong expressed their gratitude to David.

"Don't get too happy yet..."

David looked at the three of them sternly.

"You beat up Hong Sheng's people and even crippled one of them; Hong Sheng won't let this slide."

"And that Jin Shi'er, once he recovers, he'll definitely come back for revenge."

Old Li, Li Peng, and A-Adong's expressions changed.

That's right!

Even though they were in the right—the other party had drugged and assaulted his girlfriend/sister—you can't reason with gangsters.

The other side would definitely retaliate.

Li Peng looked up abruptly: "Big brother, I want to join Hong Xing!"

Li Peng might have been a poor student, but that was only because he hadn't applied himself; he was actually quite clever.

He immediately thought of a solution.

David was so imposing, and even that Imperial Prince hadn't dared to let out a peep.

He could join Hong Xing and seek Zu-ge's protection!

A-Adong thought of this too. Since he had beaten that man so badly, it would inevitably implicate his whole family; he needed protection.

He quickly added: "I want to join too!"

"You want to join us for protection?"

David shook his head.

"We can block that Imperial Prince for you. But that Jin Shi'er, since you crippled him and made him a eunuch, he will definitely seek revenge."

"You have two choices: either press charges, or find a chance to lure him out and finish him off..."

Old Li, Li Peng, and A-Adong fell into a dilemma.

If they pressed charges, what about A-Yi's reputation...

If they killed him, then they...

Old Li stepped forward: "I'll do it... Even though I've washed my hands of the life, I can still handle killing someone... I'll find a way to lure him out and finish him off."

David looked deeply at Old Li.

Then he looked at the two young men, Li Peng and A-Adong: "I have to ask Zu-ge about you joining Hong Xing. Only if he agrees can I take you in."

Causeway Bay,

Guan Zu returned home, just finished showering, and received a call from David.

"They want to join Hong Xing?"

Guan Zu thought of these two—one was decent at his studies, the other was sharp—they could be taken in as subordinates.

However, he couldn't let them join too easily.

"Tell them they can join, but they have to prove their worth."

"If they can place in the top ten of this month's 'Knowledge Cup', I'll take them in."

He hung up the phone.

At this moment, the system prompt appeared.

"You have saved two ordinary families from the fate of being destroyed by gangsters and have punished the criminals."

"You have received the following rewards:"

"Reward 1: 'Bulletproof Suit (John Wick)' x1."

"Reward 2: Your good deed has been spread, rewarding you with +1% support rate from Wanchai parents..."

Guan Zu was delighted.

A special reward had actually dropped.

Guan Zu thought to himself, and a suit appeared in his hands. It looked like an ordinary suit; while it weighed 1kg, that was lighter than a denim jacket.

With this, his safety was greatly increased.

At this time,

The TVB late-night news was broadcasting:

"Recently, the tycoon Li has reached a new cooperation project with HSBC Bank. HSBC will leverage its professional advantages in the global financial sector to provide Li Jiacheng with comprehensive financial services for overseas strategic investments, including increased investment in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, and other countries and regions..."

Guan Zu glanced at the news, seeing the tycoon Li shaking hands with an HSBC director, exchanging contracts.

"Can't rush... can't rush..."

Guan Zu muttered. He was still too weak right now.

He had to stabilize his growth and not be reckless.

He had to do more good deeds, first boost his support rate in the Wanchai district, then in the Hong Kong Island district, and then in East and West Kowloon...

Three years should be enough to complete all this.

By then, whether it was Li Jiacheng or HSBC, he would be able to decide their fate with a single word.

Early morning,

The morning sun shone across all of Hong Kong.

In breakfast shops, buses, and subways, many citizens were holding a book.

"Five Thousand Years of History"!

"This Qin Shi Huang is really something; he pioneered the concept of unification. If it weren't for him, China would probably be like Europe..."

"No, Liu Bang was the key figure for unification, he..."

"Don't you think Emperor Taizong of Tang was the impressive one..."

"The most shameless one was Sima Yi..."

In breakfast shops, buses, and subway stations, many citizens were discussing it.

As Guan Zu promoted "Five Thousand Years of History", more and more citizens were reading it.

From the unification of the Qin and Han dynasties to the prosperous Tang and Song eras, then the dynastic changes of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing, up to the turbulent modern times...

Qin Shi Huang who unified the six states, Emperor Wu of Han with his grand strategies, Zhang Qian who opened the Silk Road, Guan Yu who was loyal for a thousand years, Zhuge Liang the embodiment of wisdom, Li Bai the Poet Immortal, Genghis Khan the pride of his generation, Zheng He who sailed the seven seas...

Many young people had received British-style education from a young age and were familiar with the great history of foreign countries, especially Britain, but only had a rough understanding of Chinese history or had heard bits and pieces from the elderly.

They had never understood it in such detail.

Reading this book gave them a sense of shock as history rolled forward like a tide.

On Guan Zu's side,

After finishing the breakfast Ruan Mei made, he walked toward the boxing gym.

"Morning, A-Zu!"

"Morning, Zu-ge!"

Along the way, many neighbors greeted Guan Zu.

Many neighbors holding books curiously asked Guan Zu: "A-Zu, who do you think is more impressive, Qin Shi Huang or Liu Bang?"

Guan Zu smiled: "Both are impressive!"

Who is more impressive?

Everyone has their own understanding. Zheng-ge was impressive as the first to unify, and Liu Bang was also impressive for consolidating that concept and making it deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Another neighbor walked over and curiously asked: "Zu-ge, why do you think Europe has so many countries but never achieved unification?"

Guan Zu laughed: "Because they never had a true great conqueror."

Now, foreign history had begun to compile the "Ten Great Emperors of World History".

Alexander, Caesar, Elizabeth, Darius I, Frederick II, Peter the Great...

In short, China wasn't included... wait, that's not right. Kublai Khan led his army to Europe and slaughtered many people, so he was included.

Soon,

Guan Zu arrived at the boxing gym.

Brother Wu Ying ran over excitedly,

"Zu-ge, did you see Jin-ge's girlfriend last night?"

Huadi ran over,

"Yeah, heard she's a madam from the Wanchai precinct..."

Chen Yongren also ran over,

"Heard her name is Wei Yingzi..."

Guan Zu: "..."

No! How do you all know?

I haven't even started talking yet!

Who was it that beat me to the punch!

Guan Zu was heartbroken; damn it, a source of fun had been stolen from him.

Guan Zu gritted his teeth: "Who told you?"

Brother Wu Ying said: "A-Xing."

At this moment, Gao Jin walked in from outside.

Brother Wu Ying, Huadi, and a group of subordinates swarmed over.

"Jin-ge, heard your girlfriend is a police flower!"

"A madam from the Wanchai precinct..."

"Don't deny it, heard you were dating at a food stall last night!"

Gao Jin: "??"

His cold face couldn't hold up at this moment.

He scanned the room and saw Guan Zu, glaring at him.

Guan Zu quickly said: "Hey, don't blame me, it really wasn't me this time, it was A-Xing, that big mouth."

Gao Jin looked at Guan Zu with disbelief.

Hmph!

Guan Zu felt very wronged; is there no trust between people anymore?

Gao Jin cupped his hands to everyone: "Brothers, I have absolutely no relationship with Miss Wei right now, I hope you won't spread rumors."

Brother Wu Ying nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I'm the best at keeping secrets."

Chen Yongren patted his chest: "Me too!"

Others also promised they wouldn't say a word. Gao Jin looked at them suspiciously, their faces full of excitement to gossip; damn, they looked less and less reliable!

Damn it, it's all Zu-ge's fault!

Gao Jin went upstairs with Guan Zu to discuss business.

Seeing Gao Jin leave, Brother Wu Ying couldn't help but pick up the phone and start telling others.

"Hey, I've got some good news..."

"Yeah, from the Wanchai precinct..."

"Seems her name is Wei Yingzi..."

Others did the same, making calls one after another.

This damn urge to share was impossible to suppress!

Upstairs,

Gao Jin's face turned black.

So much for keeping it a secret! Is this how you keep secrets for me?

These brothers really should all be purged!

Soon, the news of "Gao Jin's girlfriend is a Wanchai madam" spread like wildfire throughout Causeway Bay.

As the saying goes, looks are justice. Gao Jin was usually cold, but he was still very popular in Causeway Bay, only slightly behind Guan Zu and higher than A-Hua.

So the news spread very quickly.

By noon,

Guan Zu, Gao Jin, and the others went to Yunlai Tea House for lunch.

Sure enough,

Inside Yunlai Tea House, many people were holding a copy of "Five Thousand Years of History" and discussing it.

Guan Zu and the others walked in.

Guan Zu scanned the room first; Yuan Haoyun wasn't there, crisis averted.

They could eat in peace.

Many neighbors saw them and greeted them one after another.

"A-Zu~~"

"Coming for lunch~~"

Seeing Gao Jin, their eyes lit up, and they became excited.

"Hey, A-Jin, heard your girlfriend is from the Wanchai precinct."

"A-Jin is impressive, hooked a madam~~"

"A-Jin, when are you bringing her to Causeway Bay for us to meet her~~~"

Gao Jin: "..."

His cold face collapsed directly.

No, how did it spread here so quickly?

It's over, it'll probably spread to the Wanchai precinct soon!

Wanchai Precinct.

"What? A female officer in our precinct is dating that Gao Jin from Causeway Bay?"

The news really did reach here.

"No way? That Gao Jin is a gangster."

"Yeah, how can that be?"

"Gao Jin isn't a gangster, he washed his hands of it long ago; he's the general manager of a company now!"

"Yeah, he's rich and handsome~~~"

"You're such a fangirl~~"

"But he's really cool and handsome, an abstinence-style male god!"

Traffic Department,

Wei Yingzi arrived at the Traffic Department full of energy for her shift, which ran from the afternoon into the evening.

"Good afternoon, everyone!"

As soon as she entered, she shouted enthusiastically.

"A-Zi, there's a huge piece of gossip!" a colleague leaned over and said excitedly.

"What gossip?" Wei Yingzi was already excited.

She loved gossip the most.

The colleague said mysteriously: "Word is, a female officer in our precinct is dating that Gao Jin from Causeway Bay."

"Ah?"

Wei Yingzi was shocked.

No way?

Did it really spread that fast?

She almost cried; if she had known, she wouldn't have gone out for a late-night snack with Gao Jin yesterday.

The colleague said excitedly: "How about that? Is this gossip exciting? I just don't know which female officer is dating that Gao Jin... an abstinence-style male god... By the way, do you know who's dating him?!"

Wei Yingzi shook her head in fear: "I don't know, I don't know, I've only been working here for less than a month, and then I was injured and on leave, so I'm not very familiar with the colleagues in the precinct."

She pretended not to know.

Next,

A guilty Wei Yingzi went to the locker room to change into her uniform, and a group of colleagues was chatting again:

"Who do you think this female officer is?"

"Don't know."

"A-Zi, have you heard anything?"

"I haven't..."

Wei Yingzi felt so guilty that she left as soon as she changed.

At this moment, her supervisor Chen Sanyuan came out and shouted: "A-Zi, Billy has taken a week off, starting today, you're rotating to his patrol area."

Wei Yingzi: "Yes, madam! By the way, madam, where is Billy's patrol area?"

Chen Sanyuan said: "It's Causeway Bay, on Pennington Street and Hysan Avenue."

Wei Yingzi: "..."

Causeway Bay!

Wasn't this walking right into the line of fire?

"Go on."

"Yes, madam!"

Riding her police motorcycle, she sped out of the precinct, heading straight for Causeway Bay.

Five minutes later,

She arrived in Causeway Bay.

Then, two neighbor aunts passed by on the side of the road.

"Have you heard? A-Jin has a girlfriend~~"

"And she's a madam from the Wanchai precinct..."

Wei Yingzi: "..."

She couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, it had spread everywhere.

She continued patrolling when suddenly, a few dozen meters ahead, a group of people was surrounding a taxi, seemingly arguing about something.

Wei Yingzi realized what was happening and quickly sped over on her motorcycle.

She arrived,

Stopped.

"What's going on?"

"Make way first!"

After pushing through, Wei Yingzi saw a little girl with a bleeding head, and her parents were holding her, looking heartbroken.

It was clearly a car accident.

The taxi driver was sweating profusely, and seeing the police arrive, he ran over as if relieved of a heavy burden.

"Madam, I didn't mean to, I was driving along when she suddenly rushed out, I couldn't brake in time, and I hit her."

"Don't take my license, or I'll lose this job."

At this moment,

The child's father and friend happened to arrive after receiving a call, and seeing the blood on the girl's forehead, they were furious.

"Who's the driver? Who's the driver!"

They quickly locked onto the taxi driver and ran over, roaring angrily: "Was it you! You hit my daughter!"

The driver quickly explained: "It's not my fault, your daughter suddenly rushed out, I couldn't brake in time..."

The furious father and friend were even angrier and started beating the driver.

Wei Yingzi quickly intervened: "Stop! Stop, do you hear me!"

As a police officer, she had to try to stop the conflict between the two sides to avoid bloodshed.

But the father and friend were too emotional and ignored her, continuing to beat the driver.

Wei Yingzi blew her whistle frantically.

"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him!"

Over at Yunlai Tea House, Guan Zu and the others were sitting by the window, and hearing the whistle, they looked over.

Guan Zu and the others saw a female officer trying to stop a conflict.

Guan Zu didn't recognize her, so he said to Gao Gang:

"Go and stop them."

"Yes."

At this moment, Gao Jin stood up: "No need, I'll go."

Guan Zu and the others hadn't recognized her, but Gao Jin had. Even though the officer was wearing a helmet, he recognized Wei Yingzi.

Biubiu~~~~

Gao Jin flew downstairs.
