Chapter 81

"She instigated you to fight!"

"She spends your money like water!"

At Wu Ying's words, Gao Gang fell silent.

It seemed... Wu Ying wasn't wrong at all!

To marry a wife, one should look for someone virtuous, thrifty, and capable of managing a household; this is the traditional concept for all Chinese men, and clearly, Tian Li's series of behaviors could not be considered virtuous.

Pretty? After his evolution, Gao Gang didn't think Tian Li could be called pretty.

At this moment, Wu Ying continued: "Do you know Chen Yongren? He's my brother!"

Gao Gang nodded: "I've heard of him, but never met him."

Wu Ying said sincerely: "Ah Ren's love is the kind I truly admire and yearn for."

Then he spoke about how Chen Yongren's wife, May, insisted on giving birth to their child even after they had broken up.

Gao Gang was moved!

Wu Ying: "That is true love... As for you and that Tian Li, heh, it's not even worth mentioning!"

Gao Gang nodded.

Indeed, compared to Chen Yongren's love, his own relationship with Tian Li was simply an insult to love.

So, why did he like Tian Li?

Gao Gang thought about it; perhaps it was because there were so few girls in the Peking Opera troupe, and Tian Li had been the one to take the initiative with him, which was why he had treated her as a goddess.

Thinking about it this way,

Gao Gang completely lost his affection for Tian Li.

Wu Ying noticed Gao Gang's change and asked: "Figured it out?"

Gao Gang nodded: "Figured it out!"

He picked up his wine glass and said gratefully to Wu Ying: "Brother Wu Ying, thank you!"

Wu Ying laughed, picked up his glass: "We're all brothers, cheers!"

Clink~

Cheers!

After finishing his drink, Wu Ying grabbed Gao Gang's hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to have some fun!"

Public-funded entertainment, here I come!

Heh heh heh~~~

Gao Gang asked curiously: "Brother Wu Ying, didn't you just say you wanted to marry a virtuous woman? Going out to pay for company isn't good, right?"

Wu Ying: "The problem is I haven't found one yet, so I have to enjoy myself while I can! Once I find her, I'll start living a life of pure love!"

Gao Gang: "............"

That works too? Are you kidding me?

Soon, Wu Ying took Gao Gang to the Dihao Nightclub, where Chui Ji of the Wo Lingsheng faction hung out, and they started playing...

This time, Wu Ying showed Gao Gang what it meant to—"switch to a new batch"...

Gao Gang: It's like a small knife cutting a buttock—it really opened my eyes!

This time, Wu Ying chose a busty girl for Gao Gang; her voice was sweet, and she knew how to please people. Gao Gang now felt even more that Tian Li was just plain and ordinary.

A new day,

Wu Ying came out of the nightclub, returned to the boxing gym, and reported Gao Gang's progress to Guan Zu.

Then, Wu Ying summarized: "Now, Gao Gang has no lingering thoughts about that woman at all."

Guan Zu nodded: "Very good! Once they break up, find an opportunity to drive that woman away, be subtle about it... and find a chance to teach her a lesson later!"

Guan Zu and the others could naturally guess why that underground boxing gym had found Gao Gang's residence so quickly; there was only one possibility: Tian Li had tipped them off.

That was why they detested her so deeply.

For a woman like that, if you don't teach her a harsh lesson, she'll really think Guan Zu is a pure-bred saint!

Wu Ying nodded seriously: "Don't worry, Brother Zu, I'll follow up at any time."

Gao Gang and Tian Li's breakup happened faster than Wu Ying had imagined.

At 9:00 AM,

Gao Gang returned to where he was staying; he couldn't hide the scent of perfume on his body, and Tian Li exploded with anger instantly.

Although I want to find a rich, handsome man, I haven't found one yet, so how could you betray me?

Then she started cursing at Gao Gang.

Gao Gang ignored her completely and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Tian Li started threatening him: "Come back here and apologize, otherwise we're breaking up!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Gang said: "Fine, let's break up!"

After saying that, he left immediately.

Tian Li: "!!!"

Wait, what?

Shouldn't you be begging me not to break up?

Watching Gao Gang leave without a hint of reluctance, she was so angry she started screaming, "Ahhh~~~~!"

Gao Gang soon arrived at the boxing gym, and Human Resources Director Wu Ying quickly arranged a new place for him, surrounded by friendly neighbors.

After Gao Gang moved in, Wu Ying couldn't wait to send a few fierce-looking men to clear Tian Li out of that house.

"This is my house, why should you drive me away?!"

"Hey, beauty, this house is for Brother Gao Gang to live in. Since you've broken up with him, naturally you can't live here anymore."

"No, I haven't broken up with Gao Gang. I'm going to wait here for him to come back."

"Sorry, Brother Gao Gang already has another place to live. This house needs to be vacated for other brothers to stay in."

Looking at these fierce-looking, tattooed gangsters, Tian Li was finally afraid.

"Fine, I'll go!"

Tian Li hurriedly packed her things and left the house.

She counted, and fortunately, she still had over 4,000 Hong Kong dollars left, plus a designer bag and a gold chain...

She let out a sigh of relief.

Tian Li thought about it; she couldn't stay in Causeway Bay, otherwise, she might be driven out by these Hongxing gangsters at any time.

She thought of the New Territories.

She and Gao Gang had come from the New Territories, and she was more familiar with that area...

But she quickly dismissed that idea because Ma Haoqiang's boxing gym was in the New Territories, and if she ran into him, she'd be dead for sure.

Finally, after much thought, Tian Li decided she could only go to Kowloon.

Not long after, she hailed a taxi, arrived in Kowloon, and got off at a random spot.

What she didn't know was that as soon as she got out of the car, she was spotted by a gang of motorcycle robbers.

A designer bag!

Tian Li had carried this bag in Causeway Bay for several days without anything happening, so she assumed it was the same in Kowloon!

However, she was too naive.

"Vroom vroom vroom~~~~"

Two robbers sped past on a motorcycle.

A blade flashed.

The bag strap was easily sliced, and her bag had already been snatched away.

"Help, someone help! My bag was snatched!"

"My bag was snatched!"

Tian Li screamed and shouted, but the surrounding citizens just watched for a moment and then went back to their own business—those walking kept walking, those drinking morning tea kept drinking, and those driving kept driving...

Tian Li could only watch helplessly as the robbers gradually disappeared at the end of the street, and she burst into tears of grievance.

That was her designer bag, and inside were her gold chain and over 3,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash.

Now that she had nothing, how was she supposed to live?

"Wuu wuu wuu~~~~"

What she didn't know was that a woman like her, with no social connections or survival skills, was like a lamb entering a pack of wolves in this place filled with gangs and constant crime.

Having her bag and money stolen was just Tian Li's first disaster...

Soon,

Alone and isolated, she tried to find a hotel to rest, but was driven away immediately.

And this scene was seen by a few lecherous-looking men.

They then followed her quietly all the way.

Two hours later,

In the dark night, under the dim yellow streetlights, Tian Li walked alone on the street.

Suddenly,

A gold-colored van sped over and stopped beside Tian Li.

"Ah~~~~"

Tian Li was dragged directly into the van.

The door slammed shut.

Soon, it disappeared into the dark street.

In the last two days,

Hongxing's Causeway Bay had gradually become lively.

Because the wedding date set by Chen Yongren was approaching.

Wu Ying was the most active, running around; Ah Ren was the brother he was closest to, besides Brother Zu and Brother Hua. They were best friends, but since Brother Zu and Brother Hua were the bosses, and Ah Ren was the subordinate, Wu Ying had a very good relationship with Chen Yongren.

Although Chen Yongren had 'betrayed' Wu Ying before, the naturally thick-skinned Wu Ying actually admired Chen Yongren's love life the most, and Chen Yongren was most grateful to Wu Ying; if it weren't for Wu Ying, he would probably still be an undercover cop.

In the afternoon, at Chen Yongren's home,

Half a month ago, Guan Zu had paid for a new house for him, a thousand-square-foot luxury mansion, with the money to be deducted from his salary and stock dividends later.

"Move this chair here..."

"Hang the red lanterns here..."

"Hang the wedding photo here..."

At this moment, Wu Ying was bringing a matchmaker from the community and directing the subordinates to decorate the wedding room inside the house.

It looked as if he were the one getting married.

May, with her big belly, brought over some tea: "Brother Wu Ying, thank you."

Wu Ying hurriedly took it: "Ah May, don't walk around, it's too dangerous here, you're carrying the little baby now..." Ah May smiled: "It's okay."

During these days, she felt like she was in a dream; after Brother Zu found out about her husband Ah Ren's undercover identity, not only did he not mind, but he even let him manage a school.

Watching her husband Ah Ren working hard from dawn till dusk with such enthusiasm, Ah May would always think of the Ah Ren from before, who had such a depressed look in his eyes.

Thinking about it this way, she felt incredibly happy and fortunate to have followed such a good boss.

At this time, Billy, who was busy helping out, felt incredibly miserable inside.

In the morning, he had finished organizing all the property company matters, simplified the processes, and categorized everything, finally getting a bit of free time. Then he ran to report to Brother Qiu and Brother Hua to claim credit.

As a result, Brother Hua arranged for him to come over and help Wu Ying decorate the venue.

Billy looked at Ah May; during this time, he had heard many love stories about Chen Yongren, which were no secret in all of Causeway Bay, and many gangsters admired Brother Ren very much.

Whether everyone else was a scumbag, he didn't know, but hearing this story of true love always made people feel envious and longing.

And Billy was the same, moved by Ah May's actions.

!.

"Is this true love?"

On the other side, Gao Qiu was drafted by Guan Zu to go and invite the elderly, highly respected neighbors in Causeway Bay—such as the old doctor at the Chinese medicine clinic, the retired community director, elderly people, or familiar neighbors—to attend tomorrow's wedding banquet.

"Ah Ren is getting married? That's great!"

"We must go to this wedding!"

"I heard Ah Ren went to be the principal of a private middle school, that's very good."

Chen Yongren and Ah May had long since become big celebrities because of their love story, and the neighbors in Causeway Bay had nothing but praise for the couple.

Now hearing about the wedding banquet, they were naturally very enthusiastic.

Gao Qiu urged: "Brother Zu said, just give a token red envelope, don't give too much."

"Ah Zu is truly a great person."

"Ah Zu has helped us so much, we have to give a bigger envelope."

Gao Qiu looked at these enthusiastic neighbors and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Brother Zu is indeed good!

And at this time, the news that Chen Yongren was getting married naturally reached the ears of several people.

Ni Yongxiao, Huang Zhicheng, Lu Qichang......

Tsim Sha Tsui.

In the Ni family villa.

Ni Yongxiao, in a suit and black-rimmed glasses, sat by the desk, looking exhausted. In half a year, it would be the third anniversary of his father's death, and he was secretly planning.

"Picture"

At this moment, his subordinate Luo Ji knocked on the door and walked in, reporting the news about Chen Yongren to him.

"What?"

"Ah Ren is getting married?"

Upon hearing this news, Ni Yongxiao stood up abruptly, pacing back and forth excitedly and happily.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"He's finally getting married!"

He was very happy for Chen Yongren.

In fact, he had always been keeping an eye on Chen Yongren's movements; before, after Ah Ren left the police academy, he had had the thought of wanting Ah Ren to return to the Ni family to help him.

Later, when Chen Yongren went to Guan Zu's side, Ni Yongxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Ni Yongxiao actually admired Guan Zu very much; during this time, he had been working hard to wash his reputation clean, preparing for the election.

He was a very smart person and knew that if he didn't wash his reputation clean now, he wouldn't have a good ending later, or he could just go abroad.

As for whether he could wash his reputation clean? Just look at the Li family.

Unfortunately, on his path to washing his reputation, there were Gandhi, Guohua, Blackie, Wenzheng, and Han Chen, who was suspected of killing his father.

As for Han Chen, Ni Yongxiao still didn't have conclusive evidence.

"Ah Ren is doing quite well under Guan Zu now......"

"Being a principal is also not bad......"

"His wife is even pregnant......"

Ni Yongxiao valued family, and family was more important than his career, so he was happy for Ah Ren's marriage.

Of course, at this time, Ni Yongxiao also knew that Ah Ren was a police officer; it was after Chen Yongren shouted "Eat shit, Huang Zhicheng!" at the police station last time that the news reached Ni Yongxiao's ears.

At that time, it made Ni Yongxiao very angry—not angry at Ah Ren, but angry at Huang Zhicheng.

He knew Huang Zhicheng must have wanted Ah Ren to mess with him!

"I have to see him... I have to congratulate him no matter what."

His family values were very strong, and as the older brother, he had to send Ah Ren a gift. Ah Ren definitely wouldn't accept anything expensive, but he could send something inexpensive.

"Let's go, let's go pick a gift......"

"I'm going to pick a gift for my niece!"

Ni Yongxiao happily took Luo Ji out the door to choose a gift for his niece.

The first place...

He went to was the Wong Tai Sin Temple.

At this time, The Peninsula Hotel.

By the window,

Huang Zhicheng and Lu Qichang sat down, ordered their meal, and started chatting.

Lu Qichang: "How's work lately? Did your Anti-Triad Unit participate in that major counterfeit money case?"

"Don't mention it, our Anti-Triad Unit didn't even hear the news; all the credit was taken by the Superintendent and Chen Guozhong."

Speaking of this, Huang Zhicheng couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.

This case was really too big; it was said that the US side had praised it, and Interpol had also praised it, giving the Governor's House a huge boost in face. Because of this case, the Governor bragged endlessly at international meetings about the greatness of Victoria and the good public security in Hong Kong......

Lu Qichang: "I heard news at headquarters that Superintendent Huang is going to be promoted because of this; yes, although his rank won't rise, gossip says he's going to be promoted to Deputy Commissioner of the Hong Kong Island District. And that Chen Guozhong, I heard he's going to be promoted to Superintendent; once he's a Superintendent, his position will definitely be transferred, and he might become a team leader in a major district."

Hearing this, Huang Zhicheng felt even more uncomfortable.

When would he be able to be promoted to Superintendent?

But Superintendent was a major hurdle; it wasn't easy for a Chief Inspector to be promoted to Superintendent.

Huang Zhicheng needed to handle a major case.

Moreover, there was another problem: Chen Yongren had scolded him "Eat shit, Huang Zhicheng" in front of everyone at the police station, which led to him getting the nickname "Eat Shit Cheng."

This would be very disadvantageous for Huang Zhicheng during his Superintendent promotion assessment.

Lu Qichang: "So, how exactly did Chen Guozhong find the location of the counterfeit money factory?"

Huang Zhicheng: "I don't know~~ I heard it just came out after a bit of interrogation."

Lu Qichang shook his head: "Interrogation is definitely impossible; the only possibility is that someone provided a clue."

At this moment, a waiter pushed a cart over and delivered the ordered meal.

Two steaks~~

And Peninsula-style raisin scones, smoked salmon, mini bagel cucumber yogurt beef rolls......

The two started eating.

"Ring ring ring~~~~"

Lu Qichang's phone rang.

"Lu Sir, I just heard a piece of news."

"What news?"

"Over at Guan Zu's in Causeway Bay, that Chen Yongren you told me to keep an eye on is getting married tomorrow. I heard they're setting up a huge banquet, at least 100 tables or more."

Chen Yongren is getting married tomorrow?

Lu Qichang was stunned.

Actually, he had always thought highly of Chen Yongren, but it was a pity that he had actually quit the police force and gone to be a Hongxing gangster.

He felt frustrated by his lack of ambition.

However, he later became a principal, which made Lu Qichang feel a bit relieved.

Huang Zhicheng: "What's wrong?"

Lu Qichang hesitated for a moment and said: "Chen Yongren is getting married tomorrow."

"Clang~~~~"

Huang Zhicheng's hand shook, and his fork fell onto the porcelain bowl, making a harsh sound.

Huang Zhicheng's hand was trembling.

"This traitor!!"

He gritted his teeth!

The better Chen Yongren did, the unhappier he became.

Now Chen Yongren was truly successful in his career; not only was he the principal of a middle school, but his various measures had been welcomed by most parents. Now he was getting married and having a child.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhicheng became even angrier.

And what about himself? He wasn't married, and now even his promotion had been affected by Chen Yongren.

He was so miserable, so why was Chen Yongren so happy?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got!

He picked it up.

Lu Qichang looked at his friend Huang Zhicheng like this and sighed.

He figured this Chen Yongren matter would be a hurdle Huang Zhicheng couldn't get over.
