Chapter 45: 45 Am I here to be an undercover cop? Or to be a beast of burden for Brother Zu?
On the other side, Song Zihao, hiding in a corner, secretly exclaimed that today was truly fucking exciting, witnessing a grand drama of undercover work and betrayal with his own eyes.
"So satisfying!!"
A retired big boss also loves to watch the drama!
……
At night,
By the seaside in Chai Wan.
The quiet night was washed by the constant sound of waves.
Su Jianqiu appeared here once again.
Behind a giant rock, a campfire had already been set up. Ma Haotian and Zhang Ziwei were already there brushing on sauce and grilling chicken wings, the grease sizzling constantly, carrying a fragrance that permeated the air...
"Ah Qiu, you're here?"
"Come..."
Zhang Ziwei handed a chicken wing to Su Jianqiu.
Su Jianqiu ate the chicken wing while finding a rock nearby, sitting down with his arms open.
Ma Haotian took a sip of San Miguel beer before he started speaking.
"Ah Qiu, recently the Commissioner held a meeting regarding Guan Zu running for councilor. The higher-ups named me to have you, as an undercover, find evidence of Guan Zu's crimes as soon as possible..."
After hearing this, Su Jianqiu didn't make a sound, biting into the chicken wing a few times.
The atmosphere was silent.
Zhang Ziwei nudged Su Jianqiu: "Ah Qiu, say something..."
"Damn it!" Su Jianqiu threw the fork onto the ground in a rage, cursing, "Say what? Say that I can't find anything?"
"You tell me, what criminal activities could Brother Zu possibly be doing?"
"Selling drugs? Now, in all of Causeway Bay, where are there drugs? Brother Zu said long ago that in Causeway Bay territory, there absolutely cannot be any drugs. And every time he sees it, he reports it. Just from what I know, he's already reported it 3 times."
"Besides this, what other illegal crimes does he have? Forcing women into prostitution? Money laundering? Extortion? Loan sharking? Running gambling dens? You tell me, and I'll go investigate!"
Seeing Su Jianqiu's emotional agitation, Ma Haotian and Zhang Ziwei both showed dissatisfaction.
Ma Haotian criticized: "Ah Qiu, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this when asked to do something? Also, why do you call Guan Zu 'Brother Zu'? Have you forgotten your identity as a police officer?"
Su Jianqiu cursed irritably: "Yes, I am a police officer, but I can't just make things up out of thin air! Investigate? How do you want me to investigate? Also, what's wrong with me calling him Brother Zu? Just for the things he's done, calling him Brother Zu is the least I should do!"
Ma Haotian also realized Su Jianqiu's predicament and hurriedly pacified him: "Forget it, investigate if you can, and if you can't, then forget it... Now that you have a wife and are the director of an orphanage, there's really no need to risk dangerous things... I, Ma Haotian, am not the kind of person who would force you to risk your life just to earn merit!"
The three of them were friends and brothers after all; the brotherhood was greater than the superior-subordinate relationship.
Zhang Ziwei said at this time: "Forget it, forget it, eat the chicken wings, eat the chicken wings!"
He took two chicken wings and stuffed them into the hands of Ma Haotian and Su Jianqiu.
Su Jianqiu bit into one angrily, then discovered that the chicken wing still had blood in it.
"Damn it! There's still blood! Eat my ass!"
He threw the chicken wing back to Zhang Ziwei,
"..."
Zhang Ziwei muttered, complaining: "It's good enough that there's something to eat, and you're still being picky."
Su Jianqiu picked up a bottle of San Miguel beer, opened it, and drank it down in gulps. With the cold beer in his stomach, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
Su Jianqiu, now calm, began to talk about the things that had happened in these days:
"I have also been keeping an eye on Brother Zu's various activities, but there really isn't any trace of illegal activity; on the contrary, all sorts of good deeds fill his daily life. Let alone Brother Zu, even his lackeys all run off to do good deeds, and they even get paid, they're incredibly proactive."
"I, Su Jianqiu, don't even have as much kindness as they do."
"With this, how can I investigate?"
"Also, I'm now the director of an orphanage, and I'm busy as hell. Yesterday, Brother Zu even gave me a new task: help him investigate the situation at Southeast Middle School and report back to him in three days."
"In short, I'm busy as a bastard right now!"
Finally, he scratched his head and said a bit depressed:
"You tell me, am I here to be an undercover cop?"
"Or am I here to work for him?"
Ma Haotian: "…………"
Zhang Ziwei: "…………"
That's right!
Weren't they here to be undercover? How did they end up being wage earners?
Ma Haotian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and discovered the key point: "Wait... why is Guan Zu suddenly paying attention to that Southeast Middle School?"
Su Jianqiu shrugged: "I don't know either, but last night, Brother Zu brought back two children from Lei Yue Mun, one 14 years old, one 13 years old. I couldn't see anything special about them, but they were both bitter children, without parents since they were young... He sent them to the orphanage, and then this morning he asked me to arrange for the two children to enroll in Southeast Middle School..."
Ma Haotian: "…………"
Zhang Ziwei: "…………"
They looked at the sky, speechless!
What is going on with this Guan Zu?
Is he a gangster?
Why does he only do good things?
Unbearable!
……
An hour later,
The three parted ways. Ma Haotian and Zhang Ziwei were in one car, preparing to go home.
Just as the car was passing King's Road,
Suddenly,
The sound of "Bang, bang, bang~~~ bang, bang, bang~~~" gunshots came from afar.
Both of their expressions changed!
They looked at each other.
"Go!"
Ma Haotian quickly turned the car in another direction and rushed toward the source of the gunshots.
Soon, they arrived at the location of the gunshots—Tsukamoto Building!
In the dark night, the Tsukamoto Building appeared so tall, black, and cold.
"It's here?"
Ma Haotian and Zhang Ziwei both immediately thought of the recent incident—the Seraph successfully assassinated Tsukamoto Yoshio, triggering a 100 million USD revenge fund. His son, Tsukamoto Eiji, came to Hong Kong to seek revenge and find the Seraph. Subsequently, there was an international assassin conflict and shootout at the old house, with many casualties.
This case could be said to have enraged the Governor, who ordered the police force to solve the case as soon as possible.
However, the Seraph had always been elusive and could not be found at all.
Just as these contents flashed through their minds,
"Bang, bang, bang~~~"
"Baka~~~"
"Kill him!"
From the Tsukamoto Building opposite, a fully armed person rushed out of the building's entrance.
More than twenty meters behind him, a group of Japanese devils holding guns were chasing him in a rage.
!.
Ma Haotian and the other looked at each other, then quickly took out their guns, got out of the car, followed behind, and at the same time called the police to request support.
And the direction of the chase unknowingly turned toward Causeway Bay.
……
……
At the same time,
Kowloon Ice House.
"Director Wu, Director Lin!"
"I'll leave this movie to you!"
"I, Guan Zu, keep my word. Besides the agreed remuneration, as long as the movie is successful, I will give you an extra 200,000 red envelope, each!"
In front of Guan Zu were two directors who were currently quite suitable for the "New World" movie.
Director Wu is known for his exquisite action design and profound emotional expression; he can bring tense and exciting action scenes and rich emotional layers to the movie.
Director Lin is good at handling crime themes and character relationships; he can make the crime elements and character shaping in the movie more delicate and realistic.
This combination was decided by Guan Zu after careful consideration.
Each has their own strengths. If the two work together to direct "New World," they can combine their respective advantages to jointly create a "New World" that is both full of action tension and deeply moving.
Upon hearing that the money was in place, the two directors breathed a sigh of relief.
Nowadays, many societies come to make movies, often pointing guns at the heads of directors and actors to threaten them... Of course, the most important thing is not paying them.
They are afraid of this kind of thing.
And obviously, Guan Zu is not that kind of person.
"Mr. Guan, please rest assured!"
"The script for this movie is excellent, and the two of us will definitely film it well!"
The movie script is indeed not bad, the only thing that makes them uncomfortable is that the advertisements for suits and leather shoes in this movie are a bit too many!
Guan Zu cupped his hands: "Then I'll trouble you!"
Directors Wu and Lin hurriedly returned the courtesy: "You're welcome!"
"This is the contract..."
Ah Wah next to him took out two contracts and handed them over.
Guan Zu: "Take the contracts back, find a lawyer to look at them... then officially sign the contract tomorrow, the first payment will be deposited into the account, and then you can start forming the crew and recruiting actors..."
Directors Wu and Lin took the contracts and started looking at them.
"Alright, I still have things to do, so I won't accompany you anymore."
"Goodbye!"
Taking their leave,
Guan Zu, Ah Wah, Xiao Fu, and Gao Jin got up and left the Kowloon Ice House.
Directors Wu Sen and Lin Dong looked at each other and clinked their milk tea cups.
"For the 200,000 bonus!"
"Cheers!"
It was the first time the two had seen such a generous boss, so naturally, they had to work hard to film it well.
……
Guan Zu and the four others walked out of the Kowloon Ice House entrance,
Having settled the movie, Guan Zu's mood was much happier.
"Ah Wah, you keep an eye on this movie..."
"Alright, Brother Zu."
"And Ah Jin, your clothing factory and shoe factory need to speed up the progress."
"Alright, Brother Zu."
The four walked back to the boxing gym, taking a stroll to digest their food along the way.
Just after walking two streets,
Suddenly~~~
In a pitch-black alley, the sound of hurried footsteps came.
"Bang, bang~~~~"
Gunshots rang out.
"Baka yaro!"
"Seraph, kutabare! Go to hell!"
