Chapter 42

~9 min read 1,764 words

After the two reminisced for a few sentences, Zhang Yixin began to introduce Little Jew's condition.

"Miss Ruan's condition,"

"The specific situation is that the left anterior branch of the coronary artery is congenitally too narrow, with a cross-sectional area 50% narrower than a normal person's..."

"If we want to treat it, we need to place a stent in the left anterior branch vessel to prop it open."

"However, the current technology for stent intervention in Hong Kong hospitals is not good enough; she needs to go to the United States for surgery..."

Guan Zu nodded after hearing this: "If she goes to the United States, about how much will it cost?"

Zhang Yixin looked deeply at Little Jew: "If Brother Zu really wants to take her for this surgery, I can contact my former mentor. There should be some discount, but since she doesn't have American medical insurance, I guess it will be at least 70,000 US dollars."

"70,000 US dollars? That's 500,000 Hong Kong dollars..." Little Jew almost fainted on the spot after hearing this.

Even if she sold her flesh, it wouldn't be worth that much money.

She had been scavenging trash and eating expired food for 5 years, and she had only saved 300,000 Hong Kong dollars (900,000 New Taiwan dollars).

How could she ever save enough for 70,000 US dollars?

Guan Zu nodded directly: "Alright, help me contact them; money is not an issue."

Little Jew was shocked as she looked at Guan Zu.

He... is actually willing to spend so much money on me?

Zhang Yixin looked at Guan Zu, then at Little Jew, and finally smiled: "Alright, I'll contact them for you right now."

"No, no!" Little Jew shook her head quickly: "It's too expensive, I don't want it."

She really couldn't imagine how she would ever pay back so much money.

"Don't worry about her; I'll pay the money," Guan Zu said to Zhang Yixin.

"Alright." Zhang Yixin looked at Little Jew: "Several of Miss Ruan's test results will take a few days to come out, so she needs to stay in the hospital for three more days."

Little Jew was troubled: "Can I not get the tests? I have no money..."

Guan Zu shook his head: "Continue staying; I'll pay the deposit first..."

Little Jew looked pitiful: "But I won't be able to earn that much money to pay you back in the future."

Guan Zu smiled: "Didn't I say it? You can work for me and pay it back slowly."

Guan Zu looked at his watch.

"Alright, I have other things to do, I'm leaving first... I'll come see you when you're discharged..."

After speaking, he turned and left.

After Guan Zu left, Little Jew ate her breakfast while tilting her head to look at Zhang Yixin.

"Doctor, can I ask you a question?"

"What is it?"

"What kind of person is Brother Zu? It seems like so many people respect him?"

"Him? A very good person." Zhang Yixin thought of Guan Zu's various actions and couldn't help but smile. "Although he's a hall master of Hong Xing, he's a very good person. He often helps our neighbors in Causeway Bay... He has the highest reputation in all of Causeway Bay."

"Ah? Hong Xing? Isn't that a gangster? He doesn't look like one."

"He really doesn't look like one. He's good to everyone, very kind. Many children like him, and many elderly people support him... He will definitely be elected councilor this time." Zhang Yixin actually felt it was absurd that Guan Zu was even able to get the qualifications to run for councilor.

But as long as he had the qualification, Zhang Yixin believed Guan Zu would definitely be elected.

Uncle Liang and Auntie Mei in the neighboring beds joined the discussion about Guan Zu.

"That's right, Ah Zu is a very good person."

"Don't look at him as a gangster; he's much better than the police."

Full of praise.

The more Little Jew heard, the more curious she became, and she began to ask around constantly.

Uncle Liang and Auntie Mei had nothing to do, so they started chatting away with Little Jew.

And on Guan Zu's side,

He took Ah Wah to visit some directors in Hong Kong, wanting to screen suitable directors to film "New World." Also, he was looking for a director for "Once Upon a Time in China."

And on Gao Jin's side, he had already contacted a garment factory and a shoe factory and was pushing forward with the acquisition matters.

The councilor matter was moving forward.

The "New World" movie was moving forward.

The supporting garment and shoe factories were also moving forward.

At this moment,

In a certain tea restaurant,

"Brother Ren, I've brought the information on the person you wanted me to investigate."

A long-haired thug placed a greaseproof paper bag in front of Chen Yongren.

This long-haired thug was an informant broker whom Chen Yongren had known back when he was in Wo Hop To. Later, Chen Yongren ran to Guan Zu's side in Hong Xing, but their relationship hadn't broken.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it, we're good brothers~~ I asked a friend in the police station to check this, but the information isn't very detailed. Also, I checked that Song... uh..." The long-haired thug paused and didn't continue.

Chen Yongren nodded and placed 1,000 Hong Kong dollars on the table.

The long-haired thug picked up the money and cupped his hands: "Thanks, Brother Ren."

Then he turned and left the tea restaurant cleanly.

Chen Yongren opened the file bag; inside were 3 sheets of paper:

——Song Zihao, suspected leader of a counterfeit banknote group, currently arrested in Taiwan, imprisoned, currently in his third year. Father Song ** died three years ago... ——Song Zije, graduated from high school and got into the police academy, joined the police force 2 years ago... Father Song ** died 3 years ago...

As he read,

Chen Yongren's expression gradually darkened.

What Brother Zu said was actually true!

According to the time shown above, Song Zije only graduated from the police academy and joined the force after Song Zihao went to prison...

In other words, the police force definitely knew that Song Zije's brother, Song Zihao, was the leader of a criminal group, but they still let him join the force.

And what about himself?

"Dead piece of trash Wong Chi-shing!"

Chen Yongren was now gritting his teeth!

Boom~~~

So angry he smashed his cup.

!.

Too shameless!

He had been grateful to him all these years, risking his life to join the society.

Only now did he know that Wong Chi-shing had deliberately sabotaged him so he couldn't join the police force and could only be an undercover agent.

"Ah Ren!"

"What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Brother Wu Ying walked into the tea house with a group of subordinates and couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren shuddered.

The information fell to the ground.

Brother Wu Ying laughed: "What a coincidence, perfect, let's eat together..."

Then he came to Chen Yongren's side, bent down, and picked up the paper.

Chen Yongren's heart skipped a beat.

"It's over!"

Brother Wu Ying picked up the paper: "What is this? Eh... Song Zije? Isn't this the cop Brother Zu mentioned last time?"

He looked at Chen Yongren curiously: "Ah Ren, are you investigating him? Why investigate him?"

Chen Yongren managed to suppress the panic in his heart and forced an explanation: "This isn't mine. Someone just dropped it here, and I picked it up. I was curious, so I opened it to take a look..."

Brother Wu Ying didn't doubt him and handed it to Chen Yongren: "Then stuff it back and give it to the boss. Brother Zu said that if you pick something up, you should return it to its owner..."

Chen Yongren: "............"

What the hell is "return it to its owner"!

You guys are gangsters... no...

Sigh... Chen Yongren felt his brain was in chaos. Gangsters are cleaner than cops, and cops are more insidious than gangsters...

Chen Yongren felt a bit of pain. If only he weren't an undercover agent; being an employee of a property company would be nice too.

Next, they shared a table to eat.

Brother Wu Ying talked about the recent progress, basically promoting Guan Zu's councilor campaign to every household.

It's not just about running; you have to get supporters to register at government agencies to obtain voter qualifications. Without qualifications, you have no right to vote.

So Brother Wu Ying's task was to ask neighbors to go to the government in person to register.

"Next, there's still a lot to do..."

"We also need to arrange Brother Zu's campaign schedule, go deep into the neighborhood, promote the platform, accept questions and inquiries, and get into the newspapers..."

"So busy..."

Brother Wu Ying said he was busy, but he was still very happy.

Because this matter was spearheaded by Brother Wah, and Brother Wu Ying was responsible for implementation, which reflected his important role.

Brother Wu Ying is a person who craves respect. So he would very actively complete the tasks assigned by Guan Zu and Ah Wah, and he would only be satisfied if he completed them very well.

As for not having enough brains? He had another advantage: in order to get things done, he could very humbly listen to the suggestions of his subordinates. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.

Chen Yongren listened to Brother Wu Ying's "complaints" and pride, and his heart felt warm. He had gradually felt the so-called brotherhood in the society.

On one side is the cold police relationship.

On the other side is the sincere and enthusiastic brotherhood of the underworld.

It made the balance in his heart gradually tilt toward the society.

"Ring ring ring~~~~"

At this moment, a burst of mobile phone vibration woke Chen Yongren up.

Caller: Wong Chi-shing!

Chen Yongren's face instantly turned black. He hesitated whether to answer.

As a result, Brother Wu Ying said: "Ah Ren, there's a call for you, answer it~~"

Chen Yongren had no choice but to answer the phone.

"Ah Ren, are you free to come back for dinner? Granny said she made delicious soy sauce chicken~~~"

Wong Chi-shing's voice came from the phone.

Chen Yongren really wanted to say: No time!

But in the end, he said: "Alright, I'll go back tonight..."

This time, he decided to have a showdown with Wong Chi-shing!

There must be a decision!
