Chapter 198
A new day,
Guan Zu got up,
Ruan Mei was drying bed sheets on the balcony.
The TV in the living room was on, playing TVB news.
"Yesterday, a major robbery occurred on Bada Street. A group of fierce robbers, in broad daylight, openly robbed 5 million in cash that Lei's Electrical Appliance Company was preparing to send to the bank for storage, and killed two company employees. This case is not only huge in amount, but the methods were arrogant..."
The reporter on the scene was Le Huizhen.
"According to police reports, after the incident, the police arrived quickly and successfully captured an important suspect—Gao Tianli, who is a financial accountant at Lei's Electrical Appliance Company..."
Guan Zu, who was about to go wash up, was stunned on the spot.
Isn't this the plot of "I Am a Thief"?
Such a coincidence?
"Ah Mei, big news!"
"Gao Tianli, the husband of that Shu Mei you mentioned yesterday, was caught."
"Huh?" Ruan Mei, who was drying the sheets, hurried into the living room after hearing this and watched the TV.
At this time,
the TV was playing footage of Gao Tianli being captured.
"According to preliminary investigations, Gao Tianli may be suspected of using his position to leak the specific route and time of the cash transport to the robber gang in advance, providing convenience for the robbery..."
"Her husband is actually a robber?"
"Impossible, right?"
Ruan Mei found it hard to believe.
Guan Zu said: "This Gao Tianli, I saw him during the last fundraiser. He looked like an honest person, he shouldn't do such a thing."
Ruan Mei: "Right, I think Shu Mei is also an honest and upright person, and this child is about to be born, how could her husband do such a thing?"
Thinking about it, Ruan Mei called Shu Mei's home.
After calling several times, it finally connected.
"Who are you?" On the other side of the phone came Gao Tianli's weak voice.
Yesterday, the police force investigated many times but couldn't find evidence to prove he participated in the robbery, and his wife died, so the police released Gao Tianli.
"Are you Shu Mei's husband? My name is Ruan Mei, her good friend, I just watched the news... How is Shu Mei now?" Ruan Mei had a bad premonition.
"She died..."
"Huh?"
"She went into premature labor yesterday, and then her congenital heart disease flared up. The doctor couldn't save her... Thanks for your concern."
After saying that, Gao Tianli hung up the phone.
Ruan Mei stood there in a daze.
Died?!
An indescribable emotion surged in her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Seeing her like this, Guan Zu looked at his watch and called Gao Jin.
"You can preside over the morning meeting."
Originally, there was a meeting about the "Once Upon a Time in China" movie in the morning, which Guan Zu was supposed to preside over. But now Guan Zu knew he didn't have time.
Gao Jin: "Alright, Brother Zu."
2 hours later,
Boxing gym.
Presided over by Gao Jin, the "Once Upon a Time in China" filming meeting was held.
Director Tsui Hark had already signed the contract, 400,000 plus 2% of the box office share. And Li Jie and Ah Zhen would play Wong Fei-hung and Aunt Thirteen.
In addition, there were Ah Bu, Zhou Xingxing, Da Tou, Wei Jixiang, Li Changjiang, and others, all of whom had martial arts foundations and were idle, so they were all pulled in to play supporting roles.
"I can act in a movie?"
Zhou Xingxing's eyes lit up again.
Awesome!
After coming to be an undercover, not only can I whore on public funds, but I can also act in movies and be a star.
The Major Crimes Unit didn't smell good anymore.
The meeting lasted for 2 hours. After it ended, Tsui Hark took the team and left the boxing gym, heading to the set.
This afternoon, "Once Upon a Time in China" officially started filming!
According to Tsui Hark's estimate, the filming time would be settled in 3 months.
Evening,
Neon lights illuminated the entire Hong Kong Island.
Ruan Mei was in a bad mood, so Guan Zu took her to play everywhere, Ferris wheel, carousel, skating rink, they played everything.
Almost all day, Xiao Fu and Ah Xing were following miserably from afar.
"Is Sister-in-law arguing with Brother Zu?" Ah Xing was puzzled.
"Feels like women are hard to coax?" Xiao Fu said.
At 19:00,
Guan Zu and Ruan Mei were empty-stomached, and found a restaurant in Sheung Wan—Shatin Inn Restaurant. (From "A Moment of Romance")
Feels like it should be a Southeast Asian restaurant, location note.
"Just here..."
Guan Zu recognized this place at a glance; it was the place where Wah Dee and Jojo fell in love.
The two found a table in the open-air area and sat down.
Xiao Fu and Ah Xing also found a table and sat down.
Guan Zu called the waiter: "One Cendol with two straws... half a portion of chicken, half a portion of beef, one Gado-gado, one Indonesian fried rice..."
The so-called "Cendol" is a Thai drink, the main ingredients include coconut milk, green flour noodles, pandan flavoring, and palm sugar...
And the so-called Gado-gado is an Indonesian specialty salad, called "Gado-gado" in Indonesian, mixed with many vegetables, cucumber, water spinach stalks, green beans, tomatoes, cabbage, boiled egg slices, rice cakes, fried tofu, bean sprouts, potatoes, fried shrimp chips, etc., and then made with secret peanut sauce and coconut milk sauce...
Ruan Mei was curious: "You don't need to look at the menu, and you know what the dishes are? Have you been here before?"
Guan Zu smiled: "No."
Soon,
A Cendol was served, Guan Zu and Ruan Mei each took a straw, head to head, and drank.
At this time,
A man and a woman walked in from outside.
Guan Zu looked up.
It was Wah Dee and Jojo.
Ruan Mei: "What? You know them?"
Guan Zu: "I know them, I treated him to a meal 10 days ago, he's a parent of a student at Sheung Wan Middle School."
At this time,
After Wah Dee and Jojo walked into the restaurant, Wah Dee looked around and happened to see Guan Zu, surprised for a moment.
"Mr. Guan, what a coincidence!"
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
After greeting, Wah Dee took Jojo to the empty table they used to date at ten years ago.
Called the waiter,
Wah Dee said to the waiter: "One Cendol with two straws..."
Jojo: "Sorry, two Cendols."
Wah Dee laughed awkwardly, then continued to say to the waiter: "Half a portion of chicken, half a portion of beef, one Gado-gado... (then looked at Jojo) do you want another Indonesian fried rice?"
These dishes were the ones they liked to order most when they were dating before.
At the next table, Ruan Mei looked at Guan Zu with a strange expression.
All correct!
My own man, is he this magical?
With this incident, Ruan Mei suddenly became gossipy. On the surface, she was eating while adding food for Guan Zu, but in fact, her ears were pricked up, eavesdropping.
Guan Zu chuckled.
Today, Gao Tianli's wife died giving birth, which made Ruan Mei feel low, so Guan Zu could only spare a day to take her out to play.
Played for a whole day, now Ruan Mei's mood seemed to have stabilized quite a bit.
At this time,
Wah Dee and Jojo were chatting.
Now seeing Jojo again, Wah Dee couldn't help but rekindle his old feelings, plus his son lacked a biological mother, so he was thinking of winning Jojo back.
And Jojo came to find Wah Dee today just to confirm one thing.
"I want to ask, whose son is Bozai."
"Mine, of course." "I mean, who is Bozai's mother?"
"Miss Pan, are you joking? You don't know who Bozai's mother is?"
"How would I know who Bozai's mother is? You had so many women before."
Ruan Mei at the side was bewildered.
"I just want to ask, is Bozai my son."
"Your memory finally recovered? You gave birth to a son that year and didn't want him, then you threw him away and ran to America yourself. Your mother came to the prison and told me that the child was sent to an orphanage. After I got out of prison, I brought him back from the orphanage. Today you turn around and ask me, is Bozai your son?"
Wah Dee didn't know that it was he who pushed Jojo out the door and then she rolled down the stairs, leading to premature labor. Bozai was born right in the stairs; at this time he still thought Jojo abandoned their father and son and ran to America, and that Jojo was the one who let them down.
Under Wah Dee's repeated questioning, Jojo shed tears.
"It was my mother who said the child died... If I had known, I wouldn't have left."
"That's right, how could you bear to leave our father and son..."
!.
Ruan Mei at the next table couldn't help but sympathize with Wah Dee, feeling Jojo did the wrong thing: "How could she have the heart to abandon her son and run to America?"
Guan Zu retorted on the side: "That's because you don't know the truth. This guy cheated after marriage, then was caught on the spot by Jojo. After returning home, he pushed Jojo out the door, and Jojo rolled down the stairs directly, leading to premature labor. The child was born in the stairs."
"Huh???"
Ruan Mei was shocked.
Three views shattered!
She looked at Wah Dee angrily: Give me back my sympathy, you jerk!
Wah Dee also heard Guan Zu's words and was stunned.
Shocked, he looked at Jojo.
No, I pushed you down the stairs, leading to a miscarriage?
How come I didn't know?
Guan Zu looked at the shocked Wah Dee and smiled lightly. The reason he deliberately said this was also to see how these two people would develop later.
Before, when watching "A Moment of Romance," I felt at first, why would Jojo get back together with a scumbag? But later, I thought about it, forget it, sometimes the power of a yellow-haired guy is just that strong. Just like in later generations, don't look at how poor the yellow-haired guy is, but he can call a bunch of young girls whenever he wants, which makes people envious.
Guan Zu just didn't want to see Wah Dee's face of "I didn't do anything wrong, it's your fault, you owe our father and son," so he directly exposed the truth on the side.
At this time,
another acquaintance came to this restaurant.
Ko Chun, Janet, and Knife, the three of them.
Janet and Knife saw Guan Zu and quickly came over to greet him.
"Brother Zu, Sister-in-law!" *2
Guan Zu looked at Ko Chun, who was still foolishly eating chocolate.
"Ko Chun hasn't recovered his memory yet?"
"Yeah, surgery didn't help either."
Janet held Ko Chun's hand, feeling a pang of heartache.
She naturally didn't want Ko Chun to stay foolish like this; it was very cruel to Ko Chun. But she also felt that the days she had spent with Ko Chun for the past 2 months were harmonious and happy, and they had gotten along well with the neighbors, which made her enjoy it very much.
Before, Ko Chun was always flying around the world and basically had no time to live well with her.
She was very conflicted, wanting Ko Chun to recover his memory, but not wanting him to recover it so soon.
As for the time of the gambling match between Ueyama and the God of Gamblers Chan Kam-shing, it had already passed. A month ago, Janet had already sent the recording to Japan and returned the money. Ueyama called to express his great concern and regret. As for Dragon Five, according to the clues provided by Ueyama, he had been looking for Ko Chun but couldn't find him.
And after the gambling match with Chan Kam-shing, naturally, Ueyama lost, directly withdrew from the triad, and lost all his power.
As for Knife, although Ko Chun was foolish, he still served Ko Chun wholeheartedly.
"2 months!"
"Do you know how I spent these 2 months?"
"One day, I will tell others, I, Knife, studied under the God of Gamblers, and my name is the Knight of Gamblers!"
A new day,
Ruan Mei recovered her spirit and started looking for Mary.
Guan Zu returned to the boxing gym,
Halfway through, he received a call from Chen Guozhong, saying Zhou Xingxing was an undercover, and reminded him: "You need to be careful."
Guan Zu said: "I know about this, I was the one who asked Huang Bingyao for the undercover."
Chen Guozhong was stunned on the spot.
No, you guys play so wildly?
Actually, it wasn't just Chen Guozhong; several other people called Guan Zu.
After Guan Zu returned to the boxing gym, he started calling Ah Wah, Wu, Su Jianqiu, Chen Yongren, Laughing, David, and others for a meeting.
Tomorrow, the school sports meets of various primary and secondary schools in Wan Chai, Sheung Wan Middle School, and Shek Tong Tsui Middle School would officially begin.
And this time, because the scale was very large, Guan Zu needed to mobilize several thousand people.
However, this kind of thing had already been practiced during the "Knowledge Cup," so this time it was still quite handy.
A new day,
Wan Chai, Shek Tong Tsui, and Sheung Wan officially became lively.
Students and parents, covering a population of over tens of thousands, all went to school happily early in the morning, making many unrelated neighbors and citizens feel that the atmosphere was different.
"What happened?"
"I heard Ah Zu's Five Star Education Group is holding a school sports meet."
"Sports meet, no wonder. These students usually don't get out of school until 21:30, with this sports meet, wouldn't they be happy to the point of going crazy?"
"Seems like the TV station sent people too."
At this time,
a stretched Rolls-Royce was once again blocked in Causeway Bay.
"Young Master, there's a traffic jam..."
In the car, the assistant said to the young master of the Li family, Li Chang.
Li Chang was still in a suit and leather shoes, with that top-tier wealthy family young master style.
"Why is there a traffic jam again?" Li Chang frowned.
At this time, the driver looked out the window and said: "Seems like the schools in Wan Chai are holding some kind of sports meet..."
Li Chang was surprised: "Holding a sports meet wouldn't cause such a traffic jam, right?"
The driver said: "I heard that most of the primary and secondary schools in Wan Chai are holding it together. Seems like that Guan Zu is the one holding it..."
Then he talked about Guan Zu and the Five Star Education Group.
"That Guan Zu again?"
"And now, it has actually involved so many schools?"
Li Chang immediately remembered the last unpleasant memory.
He wanted to teach Guan Zu a lesson, but found he couldn't do anything to Guan Zu.
Later, because he had to attend a banquet with other young masters, he forgot about this, and this time the memory came back.
How can this Causeway Bay accommodate such an awesome person?
Moreover, I heard that all the neighbors in Causeway Bay support Guan Zu very much.
This is unacceptable!
My Li family is the King of Causeway Bay!
Must teach him a lesson!
Teach him a harsh lesson!
He said to the assistant: "Go, investigate Guan Zu's related industries, see if there are any renting our buildings."
The assistant nodded: "Yes!"
The assistant quickly made a phone call to arrange it.
Then...
Ten minutes later, a subordinate called and said: "Just checked, that Guan Zu is not renting our buildings."
Assistant: "............"
Li Chang: "............"
The damn frustration memory surfaced again!
Li Chang was angry!
Last time, I couldn't teach you a lesson!
This time, if I still can't teach you a lesson, then I, Li Chang, wouldn't I lose face?
