~14 min read 2,662 words

"Thank you, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan!"

Wen Fang could not stop his tears from flowing.

He thought that if his wife really suffered any misfortune, his world would likely collapse in an instant.

Being stabbed in the pregnant belly on the street and suffering massive hemorrhaging—the thought alone was terrifying.

Fortunately, Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan was there at the time and saved his wife in time.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu hurriedly reached out to pull him up and said, "Don't be like this. Anyone would have saved her. Don't worry too much; the doctors are doing their best to save her."

"Thank you!"

Wen Fang thanked him repeatedly.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu looked at the emotionally agitated Wen Fang and offered a few words of comfort.

At this moment, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu finally remembered who this person before him and the pregnant woman inside were: the tragic police officers from "Fire Dragon."

Because his wife died, he went everywhere looking for the pickpocket syndicate, ditching his police colleagues and begging various informants, all just to catch that killer.

Every time he caught a pickpocket, he would shave the person's head and send them to the bus driver for identification.

Time after time, he was almost insane.

And his mother—he didn't dare tell her the truth that his wife had died, so he could only lie to her, saying his wife had gone abroad for work.

The old mother, believing she had truly gone abroad, counted the days until her grandchild would be born, hoarding ginger and eggs every day just to stew pig trotter ginger vinegar.

Being able to save his wife could be considered a deed of immeasurable merit.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu patted Wen Fang on the shoulder and then turned to leave.

Next,

Wen Fang waited anxiously at the door of the operating room, then called his mother and sister.

As for the wife, she had no one left; her parents had passed away long ago.

More than 20 minutes later, the mother and sister rushed over, flustered, and the mother was even more heartbroken.

More than 30 minutes later, the door to the operating room slowly pushed open.

A nurse walked out holding a tiny infant.

Wen Fang hurried over.

"Nurse, how is my wife?"

Wen Fang hurriedly leaned in, looking at the wrinkled little face in the swaddling clothes, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Nurse: "What is your name? Who are you?"

Wen Fang hurriedly introduced himself: "My name is Wen Fang, Senior Inspector of the Kwun Tong Regional Crime Unit. This is my ID..."

Mother: "I am her mother-in-law~~"

After the nurse verified everything, hearing that Wen Fang was a police officer, she felt much more at ease. However, because the pregnant woman had not yet woken up, the baby was not given to Wen Fang.

The nurse said: "It's a boy. Fortunately, that knife didn't hurt him, and he has now been born safely... By the way, how many weeks pregnant was she?"

"32 weeks this week."

"About the same as we estimated. The baby is only 32 weeks old, too small, and his lung function is insufficient. Other conditions are barely considered healthy, but he still needs to be well-nurtured in the neonatal intensive care incubator..."

Wen Fang: "What about my wife? How is she now?"

Nurse: "Because the mother's injuries were severe, the knife pierced the uterus directly. But the good news is that her physical condition was still very good when she was sent here; it's a bit incredible. The doctors are currently performing surgery..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Fang let out a sigh of relief.

Nurse: "By the way, the patient also has uterine fibroids, and she was stabbed again. Although the bleeding has stopped, it is still very dangerous. Should we remove the uterus? Whether it's the wound or the fibroids, removal is the best method. The only thing is that she won't be able to get pregnant in the future."

"Cut it! Her life is more important!"

Wen Fang and his mother said simultaneously.

Soon, the papers were signed.

Another hour or so passed, and the wife was finally wheeled out of the operating room.

The doctor took off his mask: "Congratulations, she is temporarily out of danger."

Wen Fang's eyes turned red, and he choked up as he thanked the doctors and nurses repeatedly.

The doctor said: "If you want to thank someone, thank our boss, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu. If it weren't for him sending her here in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

After hearing this, Wen Fang nodded.

A life-saving grace is as heavy as a mountain.

He secretly swore that from now on, as long as Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu had a need, he would go through fire and water without hesitation.

At this time,

Causeway Bay,

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was eating at another newly opened restaurant with Fang Ting, Gao Gang, and Xi Gui—Qinzhou Pig Trotter Noodles.

The restaurant's decor was simple, with wooden tables and chairs arranged neatly, and several paintings showcasing the local customs of Qinzhou hanging on the walls, rustic and intimate.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu arrived, and today he came to try the food.

The steaming pig trotter noodles were served on the table.

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of the caramel-colored pig trotter, and the soft, bouncy skin sprang between his teeth as the braising sauce instantly spread in his mouth.

Trying the noodles, Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu scooped a spoonful of braising sauce, poured it over the noodles, mixed it well, and slurped them up in big mouthfuls.

"Hmm, it's indeed not bad..."

Fang Ting didn't eat pig trotters, feeling they were a bit fatty, so she picked up the trotter and put it into Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's bowl.

Just at this moment,

The system reward had arrived.

"You saved a pregnant woman and an infant..."

"You have received the following rewards:"

"Reward 1: Kindness should not be betrayed: You have received a double refund of the 'Life Support Card', 4 cards!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu was delighted.

It's back!

He had just tried this thing, and it was very useful; at critical moments, it was a lifesaver.

"Reward 2: You have received another 'Captain America 2 Castrated Version · Chevrolet Bulletproof Car', and you can specify the location for storage!"

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu thought for a moment and directly specified it to be sent to Xiao Fu in San Francisco, USA, to give it a try.

Huh, it really worked.

System: "It has been stored at the entrance of the Umbrella Property Company in San Francisco, and the filing has been completed at the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The owner is Xiao Fu."

At this time, Gao Gang received a phone call.

Not long after,

Laughing grabbed a white-haired man in a floral shirt and walked into the shop.

He threw him in front of Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu.

Laughing: "Brother Zu, this is a gang leader of the North Point pickpockets, called Huo Shui."

(Image: "Fire Dragon": Attacking the police, grabbing a gun, I'll shoot you dead with one shot!)

Huo Shui rolled on the ground, and upon seeing Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu, he was like a mouse seeing its natural enemy.

He hurriedly crawled to Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's feet.

He was incomparably terrified.

"Brother Zu, none of my subordinates would dare to kill anyone."

"Although my little brothers steal things, they only steal things... It really has nothing to do with us!"

"This matter was definitely not done by us!"

He begged for mercy repeatedly.

The surrounding citizens stretched their necks.

Excited to watch the drama!

Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu sipped the braising sauce unhurriedly, glanced at Huo Shui, thought of that Ji Shaoqun, and chuckled.

"Brother Huo Shui, is it?"

"Don't dare, don't dare... just call me Little Shui..." Brother Huo Shui was about to cry.

"You are in the pickpocket circle; help me find that pickpocket. Is there a problem?"

"No problem, no problem!"

"Three days!"

"Okay, okay!"

Brother Huo Shui nodded like a garlic masher.

He was terrified of being sent by Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu to be poured into cement.

After Brother Huo Shui left, he quickly returned to North Point and began contacting his subordinates one by one to investigate. Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths; soon, the identity of that pickpocket was found.

2 hours later,

While that bald pickpocket was still playing mahjong with friends, the furious Wen Fang led his subordinates to rush in and arrest him.

And the person who reported him was the bald pickpocket's friend who was playing mahjong.

Betrayed cleanly and neatly!

Laughing and crying~~~

The pickpocket's friend said: I'm not doing this for the 100,000 reward; I'm doing it for justice! You're a pickpocket, but you killed someone—I look down on you!

Positive energy · jpg!

To vent his anger, Wen Fang naturally beat this bald pickpocket into a cripple.

What police regulations?

In the eyes of a husband, there are no police regulations!

On the other side,

Night shrouded Kwun Tong, and neon lights reflected on the streets.

Ji Shaoqun stood on the side of the road, listening to the phone, angry and bewildered.

"Ji Shaoqun, your overdue interest has rolled over by another 1 million; plus the principal, it totals 11 million..."

"Officer Ji, you wouldn't want the police force to know about your high-interest loan, would you?"

"When that time comes, not only will you be dismissed, but you'll also have to repay this debt of over 10 million..."

After the other party finished speaking, they hung up the phone.

"Damn it!" Ji Shaoqun roared angrily, kicking over a Mercedes-Benz parked nearby.

The car body immediately dented.

The car alarm went off.

Not far away, Bai Chi Li was holding a cup of milk tea, and seeing this scene, the milk tea fell to the ground.

"Ah~~~~"

"My car!!!"

Then, he saw Ji Shaoqun acting like he had gone crazy, punching and kicking the phone booth, cursing non-stop.

If it weren't for the fact that last time he said, "What are you looking at? Never seen a handsome guy before? Believe it or not, I'll blow your head off," and was then beaten up by Wang Wang Jianjun, he probably would have rushed up to fight this crazy person now.

Ji Shaoqun's heart was filled with despair. He had originally only borrowed 5 million for an emergency, but he hadn't expected that under the compound interest of this loan shark, it would become an astronomical figure he could never repay in just a few months.

This was like a bottomless abyss.

"Ring ring ring~~~~"

Suddenly, a sharp cell phone ringtone rang out.

Ji Shaoqun answered: "Hello?"

"Ji Shaoqun, do you want to get rid of your current debt?" A low voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ji Shaoqun stood up abruptly, incomparably vigilant: "Who are you? How do you know about my business?"

The other side: "You'll know in a while. The important thing is that we can help you solve that 11 million debt, as long as you help us do one thing."

The other party's tone was calm and confident.

Ji Shaoqun fell silent. He knew well that a huge conspiracy might be hidden behind this, but the pressure of that massive debt made it impossible for him to refuse easily.

"What thing?"

He finally asked.

"One hour later, meet at a warehouse in Kwun Tong ****." The other party gave an address and hung up the phone.

"Beep beep beep~~~"

"Hello! Hello!... Wait, damn it, I haven't memorized the address yet!"

Although Ji Shaoqun had a strong memory, he still hadn't memorized it.

Ji Shaoqun cursed and dialed back.

Fortunately, it connected.

Ji Shaoqun: "The address you just said, say it again... Why are you talking so fast, who are you talking to?"

The other side: "............"

One hour later, an abandoned warehouse in Kwun Tong.

Ji Shaoqun arrived at the agreed location early. He was wearing a black trench coat, holding a gun in his hand, his eyes vigilantly observing everything around him.

Before long, a figure slowly walked over from the warehouse entrance.

"Let me introduce myself; I am the person in charge of the Operations Department."

"What?"

"You should have seen me..."

At this time, Ji Shaoqun saw the other party's face clearly.

He did indeed recognize him.

Superintendent Liu, his rank was Senior Superintendent.

In the Police Headquarters building, they always ran into each other.

Superintendent Liu took a small device and scanned Ji Shaoqun up and down.

After confirming that Ji Shaoqun was not carrying a recording pen or other equipment, he nodded with satisfaction:

"Very good, you are very honest."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Ji Shaoqun asked coldly.

"I know you are now driven to a dead end by loan sharks. As long as you help me complete one thing, I guarantee I will help you settle this debt."

"What thing?" Ji Shaoqun asked with a frown.

"I want you to..." Superintendent Liu explained the details of the matter.

"What? You want me to use drugs to frame someone? That's illegal! I'm a police officer, how could I do such a thing!" After hearing this, Ji Shaoqun's face instantly turned ashen.

"Illegal? If you don't do it now, the internal affairs department will come to talk to you tomorrow..." the other party threatened with a cold sneer.

Ji Shaoqun clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead bulging.

After a long while, he finally loosened his fists and said through gritted teeth:

"Who is the target?"

"A Hongxing punk called Tai Lo B." Superintendent Liu's mouth curled up slightly.

"Fine, no problem." Ji Shaoqun's voice was low and helpless, as if he had lost all his strength in an instant.

Superintendent Liu: "Once I've made the arrangements, I'll call you."

After saying this,

He quickly disappeared into the dark night.

Ji Shaoqun stood in the abandoned warehouse, a fierce battle raging within his heart.

"This guy can't be trusted."

"If I really do as he says, the leverage will be firmly in his hands. From then on, he can squeeze me whenever he wants."

The thought of being tightly controlled by Superintendent Liu and losing his freedom made him feel a surge of resentment.

"But if I don't do it, that 11 million debt..."

He closed his eyes in pain, pulling his hair hard with both hands.

"Tai Lo B..."

He muttered to himself...

Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open, a flash of shock and anger crossing them.

"Damn it! I remember now, Tai Lo B was Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan's old boss back in Hongxing. If I go after Tai Lo B, isn't that just asking for death?"

He knew well that with Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan Zu's connections and power, once he found out he had participated in framing Tai Lo B, he would definitely be dead.

A dead end!

He was finished!

"Wait..."

"Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan is famous in Xiangdao for valuing loyalty and righteousness..."

Ji Shaoqun's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had grabbed onto a final straw.

Defecting to Superintendent Liu,

Is not even half as good as defecting to Mr. Director Director Director Director Director Director Guan!
